DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a high voltage connector for an eco-friendly automobile in which an interlock connector is removed according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

A high-voltage connector for an environment-friendly automobile in which an interlock connector according to the present invention is removed comprises a mail connector (10) including a pair of high-voltage bus bars (11) formed of conductors, And a female connector (20) including a high voltage terminal (21). In the high voltage connector for eco-friendly automobile, the outer surface of the male connector housing (12) forming the outside of the male connector (10) And an inner surface of a female connector housing (22) formed on the outer side of the female connector (20) is made of a conductive material, and the male connector 10 and the female connector 20 are connected to each other, the pair of conductive lines 14 are electrically connected through the inner surface of the female connector housing 22 so as to be electrically conductive.

As shown in FIG. 1, the high voltage connector for an eco-friendly automobile in which the interlock connector according to the present invention is removed comprises a mail connector 10 and a female connector 20 into which the mail connector 10 is inserted.

The mail connector 10 includes a pair of high voltage bus bars 11 disposed to be spaced apart from each other, a mail connector housing 12 formed to surround the high voltage bus bar 11, and the high voltage bus bar 11 And an insulating member (not shown) for insulating the male connector housing 12.

The high-voltage bus bar 11 is made of a conductor, is provided in a pair and is spaced apart from each other, and power is transmitted through the high-voltage bus bar 11.

A mail connector housing (12) is formed to receive the high voltage bus bar (11). The mail connector housing 12 is formed in the shape of a box having a substantially rectangular cross section, and the high voltage bus bar 11 is disposed therein. The mail connector housing 12 may be composed of a conductor or an insulator.

The insulating member is provided inside the male connector housing 12 except for the portion adjacent to the end of the male connector housing 12, that is, the portion connected to the female connector 20 Fill it. The pair of high-voltage bus bars 11 are insulated from each other by the insulating member, and when the male connector housing 12 is a conductor, it is also insulated from the male connector housing 12.

The female connector 20 includes a high voltage terminal 21 electrically connected to the high voltage bus bar 11, a female connector housing 22 for accommodating the high voltage terminal 21, a high voltage terminal 21 And an insulating member that is insulated from the female connector housing 22.

The high voltage terminal 21 is formed to receive the end portion of the high voltage bus bar 11. When the mail connector 10 and the female connector 20 are connected to each other, Is inserted into the end portion of the high voltage terminal (21), whereby the high voltage bus bar (11) and the high voltage terminal (21) are electrically connected.

The female connector housing 22 is spaced from the high voltage terminal 21 and is configured to receive the high voltage terminal. The female connector housing 22 is preferably substantially rectangular. The male connector housing 12 and the female connector housing 22 are formed such that the outer side surface of the male connector housing 12 is fitted into the inner side surface of the female connector housing 22.

The female connector housing 22 has an outer surface made of an insulator and an inner surface made of a conductor. In particular, the inner surface of the female connector housing 22 is made of a conductor.

The insulating member is filled in the inside of the female connector housing 22 except for the end portion of the female connector housing 22 connected to the male connector 10, The high voltage terminal 21 and the female connector housing 22 are insulated from each other.

In order to demonstrate the interlock function, that is, the function of detecting whether or not the mail connector 10 and the female connector 20 are connected, the high voltage connector for the environmentally friendly automobile in which the interlock connector according to the present invention is removed, The interconnection function can be exerted merely by inserting the mail connector 10 into the female connector 20 by forming the conductive line 14 made of the conductor on the outer surface of the connector 10. [

A conductive line 14 electrically connected to the control unit 30 is linearly formed on the outside of the mail connector housing 12 of the mail connector 10. Since the conductive line 14 must be electrically connected to the control unit 30, the conductive line 14 is formed of two lines. That is, the conductive line 14 is formed not only on the front surface shown in FIG. 4 but also on the rear surface not shown in FIG.

At this time, an insulation line 13 may be formed between the conductive line 14 and the mail connector housing 12. When the conductive line 14 is formed directly on the surface of the mail connector housing 12 in the case where the mail connector housing 12 is formed of a conductive material, the conductive line 14 and the female connector housing 22, It is impossible to detect whether the mail connector 10 and the mail connector 20 are connected to each other through the conductive line 14. [ Therefore, when the outer surface of the male connector housing 12 is made of a conductor, the insulating line 13 is linearly formed on the surface of the male connector housing 12, So that the conductive line 14 is formed.

Here, the width of the insulation line 13 in the male connector housing 12 is wider than the width of the conductive line 14.

Since two conductive lines 14 are formed outside the mail connector housing 12 in an insulated state with respect to the mail connector housing 12, the ends of the conductive lines 14 are connected or disconnected, Lock function can be implemented.

Meanwhile, the pair of conductive lines 14 in the male connector housing 12 are formed on both sides of the male connector housing 12. That is, the mail connector housing 12 has a rectangular cross section, and the upper and lower surfaces are long and both sides are short. The conductive line 14 is connected to the mail connector housing 12 As shown in Fig. This is to maintain a stable contact when the male connector housing 12 is inserted into the female connector housing 22. When the conductive line 14 is formed on the upper surface or the lower surface of the mail connector housing 12, when the mail connector housing 12 is inserted into the female connector housing 22, The conductive line 14 is preferably formed on both sides of the mail connector housing 12 because the outer surface of the housing 12 and the inner surface of the female connector housing 22 can be spaced from each other.

The operation of the high voltage connector for an environment-friendly automobile from which the interlock connector according to the present invention having the above-described configuration is removed will now be described.

4 shows a state before the mail connector 10 and the mail connector 20 are connected to each other. The conductive lines 14 of the mail connector 10 are also electrically connected to the control unit 30, respectively. In this state, since the mail connector 10 and the female connector 20 are not connected to each other, a pair of the conductive lines 14 formed in the mail connector 10 are not electrically connected to each other, 30 recognize that the mail connector 10 and the mail connector 20 are not connected to each other.

5 shows a state in which the mail connector 10 and the mail connector 20 are connected.

When the mail connector 10 and the mail connector 20 are connected to each other, a pair of the conductive lines 14 formed on the mail connector 10 are electrically connected to each other. When the male connector housing 12 is inserted into the female connector housing 22, the circuit is formed as shown by the dotted line in FIG.

That is, the conductive lines 14 formed on the male connector 10 are mutually energized via the inner surface of the female connector housing 22. When the mail connector housing 12 is fitted into the female connector housing 22, the conductive lines 14 come into contact with the inner surface of the female connector housing 22, each of which is made of a conductor.

When the circuit is configured as described above, the control unit 30 can confirm whether or not the mail connector 10 and the mail connector 20 are connected.

When the mail connector 10 and the mail connector 20 are separated from each other, the conductive lines 14 are not energized again. Therefore, the controller 30 controls the mail connector 10, It can be recognized that the female connector 20 has been disconnected.
