Description

Connector

The invention relates to a connector.

In the connector structure that is electrically connected by a pair of connectors (hereinafter, a pair of connectors are referred to as "connector" and "object connector"), generally the connector and the object connector are connected in the mating direction. The terminals of the connector and the counterpart terminal of the counterpart connector are electrically connected by fitting and assembling with each other. When trying to barely fit the object connector to the connector, there are often cases where the connector moves from the normal fitting position and internal deformation occurs within the connector structure. Also, when the target connector is barely fitted to the connector, even if the connector does not move from the normal fitting position, the target connector may be fitted in a state where internal stress is applied to the connecting part of the connector. in the case of the connector. For example, when the connector terminal is connected to the substrate by solder on the side opposite to the mating side of the target connector, cracks often occur in the solder due to such deformation and stress. In this case, the connection reliability of the connector structure will be reduced.

Patent Document 1 discloses a connector structure in which the connector is movable in a direction perpendicular to the mating direction from a normal mating position when a mating connector is mated with the connector. In Patent Document 1, a connector includes: a connector portion electrically connected to a mating connector; and a support portion supporting the connector portion. The supporting part is disposed on the back side of the connector part in the fitting direction, and has a retainer connected to the connector part and a base member that supports the retainer by engagement toward the back side in this order. A spring elastically deforming in the fitting direction is provided between the holder and the base member. In Patent Document 1, when the mating connector is fitted to the connector to be electrically connected, the engagement between the retainer and the base member is released by the elastic deformation of the spring in the fitting direction. Thereby, the retainer can move relative to the base member in a direction perpendicular to the fitting direction, and the connector portion connected to the retainer can also move in conjunction with the retainer. According to the connector of Patent Document 1, the connector is moved from a normal fitting position to a direction perpendicular to the fitting direction, thereby suppressing the generation of internal stress and internal deformation in the connector structure.

Specifically, the engaging portion 312 is engaged with the engaged portion 212 of the connector body 2 in the third direction D3 to prevent the connector body 2 from disengaging in the third direction D3. For example, as shown in FIG. 2 , the engaging portion 312 may be constituted by a facing surface facing the engaged portion 212 in a direction preventing the connector body 2 from coming off from the guide member 3 . In the present embodiment, the engaging portion 312 is constituted by a facing surface facing the engaged portion 212 in the third direction D3.

In this embodiment, the detachment preventing portion 31 not only prevents the detachment of the connector body 2 from the guide member 3 but also holds the connector body 2 so that the connector body 2 can move relative to the guide member 3 in a predetermined direction. In order to exhibit such a function, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2 , the detachment preventing portion 31 has a guide portion 311 for guiding the connector body 2 . Specifically, the guide portion 311 is set in contact with the guided portion 211 by the connector body 2 in the first direction D1, and is set so as to be in contact with the guided portion while restricting the connector body 2 in the first direction D1. 211 is slidable in the second direction D2, and guides the connector body 2 in the second direction D2. The guide portion 311 is, for example, as shown in FIG. 2 , and may be constituted by an opposing surface extending in the second direction D2 and facing the portion to be guided 211 so as to guide the portion to be guided 211 . In the present embodiment, the guide portion 311 is constituted by a facing surface facing the guided portion 211 in the first direction D1.

The shape and arrangement of the detachment preventing portion 31 are not particularly limited as long as the detachment of the connector body 2 from the guide member 3 can be prevented. In the present embodiment, the detachment preventing portion 31 is provided as a protruding portion protruding inwardly in the second direction D2 from the inner surface (more specifically, both inner surfaces) of the erecting portion 34 . Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2 , the detachment preventing portion 31 is provided as a T-shaped protruding portion viewed from the second direction D2. More specifically, the detachment preventing portion 31 includes second direction extending portions extending in the third direction D3 from the facing surface 3c of the guide member 3 facing the connector body 2 at both ends in the second direction D2. 31a; and the first direction extending portion 31b branching from the front end of the second direction extending portion 31a and extending in two directions of the first direction D1. In Fig. 2, the guide portion 311 is constituted by the two side surfaces of the second direction extending portion 31a facing the outside of the second direction extending portion 31a in the first direction D1, and the inner surface constituted by the protruding portion 21 is formed. The guide part 211 contacts in the first direction D1, and guides the connector body 2 in the second direction D2. Also, in FIG. 2, the engagement portion 312 is formed by the side surface of the first direction extending portion 31b facing the facing surface 3c of the guide member 3 in the third direction D3, and is formed by the side surface of the protruding portion 21. The engaged portion 212 is engaged in the third direction D3, and restricts the connector body 2 in the third direction D3. However, the shape and arrangement of the detachment preventing portion 31 can be appropriately changed in accordance with the shape and arrangement of the guided portion 211 and the like of the connector body 2 .

The guide member side housing portion 32 accommodates the biasing member 4 together with the main body side housing portion 22 as shown in FIG. 2 . Specifically, the guide member side housing portion 32 accommodates a part of the biasing member 4 , more specifically, houses about half of the biasing member 4 . In the present embodiment, the guide member side housing portion 32 is provided as a concave portion on the facing surface 3 c of the guide member 3 facing the connector body 2 . Specifically, the guide member side housing portion 32 is provided so as to be recessed into a semicylindrical shape from the facing surface 3c in the third direction D3. Moreover, in this embodiment, the guide member side accommodation part 32 has the facing wall 32a, 32b which opposes the end part of the biasing member 4 (a spring in this embodiment). Specifically, the facing walls 32a and 32b face the ends 4a and 4b of the spring (biasing member) 4 in the expansion and contraction direction of the spring (biasing member) 4 , that is, in the second direction D2. In this embodiment, the guide member side housing portion 32 is provided in the central area of the guide member 3 in the second direction D2 (more specifically, at a position closer to the side in the second direction D2 in the central area). The guide member-side receiving portion 32 may be provided at a position facing the body-side receiving portion 22 in the third direction D3 when the connector body 2 is at a predetermined position.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5A , the facing walls 32a, 32b of the guide member side housing portion 32 are set so that when the connector body 2 is at a predetermined position, they become the opposing walls 22a of the body side housing portion 22. , 22b on the same side. In this case, since the spring (biasing member) 4 is hardly deformed unevenly between the portion accommodated in the body-side housing portion 22 and the portion accommodated in the guide member-side housing portion 32, it is intended that the connector body 2 The restoring force of the spring (biasing member) 4 returning to the predetermined position becomes easy to act on the facing walls 32a, 32b and Both of the facing walls 22 a and 22 b of the main body side housing portion 22 . However, when the connector body 2 is in a predetermined position, the facing walls 32a, 32b of the guide member side receiving portion 32 may not necessarily be on the same plane as the facing walls 22a, 22b of the body side receiving portion 22 .

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5A , the dimension (depth of the concave portion) of the guide member side housing portion 32 in the third direction D3 is smaller than that of the main body side housing portion 22 . In the present embodiment, since the connector body 2 has a size capable of accommodating the terminal T1 (see FIGS. 1A and 2 ), the dimension in the third direction D3 is larger than that of the guide member 3 . In this case, the limited size of the connector 1 can be effectively utilized by providing the body-side housing portion 22 that is larger than the guide member-side housing portion 32 in the dimension of the third direction D3 on the connector body 2 side. , it is possible to further reduce the thickness of the connector 1 as a whole. Also, in the present embodiment, as described above, the drop-off preventing portion G is provided on the connector body 2, and when the connector 1 is manufactured from the connector body 2, the guide member 3, and the bias member 4, the spring (bias member) 4 After engaging with the drop-off prevention part G, assemble the connector body 2 to the guide member 3. In this case, when the size of the body-side housing portion 22 in the third direction D3 is larger than that of the guide member-side housing portion 32, more than half of the spring (biasing member) 4 can be accommodated in the body-side housing portion. 22, the connector body 2 is assembled to the guide member 3. In this way, when the connector body 2 and the guide member 3 are assembled, the spring (biasing member) 4 can be restrained from contacting the opposing wall 22a of the body-side housing portion 22 on the side accommodated in the body-side housing portion 22. , 22b abut against and shrink, and expand and expand on the side that is not accommodated in the main body side accommodation portion 22 (the side to be accommodated in the guide member side accommodation portion 32), and is difficult to be accommodated in the guide member side accommodation portion 32 Case. However, the guide member side housing part 32 may be equal to the main body side housing part 22 in terms of the dimension (the depth of the concave part) in the third direction D3. In this case, in the third direction D3, the spring (biasing member) 4 is equally accommodated in the main body side housing portion 22 and the guide member side housing portion 32, and since the elastic force of the spring (biasing member) 4 becomes It is easy to apply the restoring force of the spring (biasing member) 4 to return the connector body 2 to a predetermined position because it is easily applied to the body-side housing portion 22 and the guide member-side housing portion 32 . In addition, the guide member side housing portion 32 may have a dimension (depth of the concave portion) in the third direction D3 larger than that of the main body side housing portion 22 .

In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 5A to 5C, the biasing member 4 is so that when the connector body 2 moves from a predetermined position (Figure 5A) relative to the guide member 3 (Figure 5B or Figure 5C), the connector body 2 will return to the predetermined position (FIG. 5A), and the connector body 2 will be biased in the direction opposite to the moving direction of the connector body 2. In this embodiment, the "predetermined position" of the connector body 2 is, for example, the position where the connector body 2 is located relative to the guide member 3 when the target connector A is normally assembled in the connector 1 according to the design (initial position ). Specifically, the "predetermined position" is the position where the bisector of the guide member 3 overlaps with the bisector of the connector body 2 in the second direction D2, more specifically, the position where the connector body 2 is positioned relative to the guide member. 3's movable area (more specifically, the movable area in the second direction D2). However, the "predetermined position" is not particularly limited as long as it does not hinder the assembly of the connector 1 and the mating connector A.

The form of the biasing member 4 is not particularly limited, but in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2 , the biasing member 4 is constituted by a single elastically deformable spring. More specifically, the biasing member 4 is composed of a single coil spring elastically deformable in the second direction D2. However, the biasing member 4 may also be composed of other members such as stretchable rubber or a leaf spring, or may be composed of a plurality of members (for example, a plurality of springs). In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 5A to 5C , when the connector body 2 moves from a predetermined position relative to the guide member 3 along the second direction D2, the spring (biasing member) 4 penetrates toward the guide member side receiving portion. The opposite walls 32a, 32b of 32 contact to deform elastically and generate elastic force (recovery force of elastic deformation), so that the connector body 2 returns to the predetermined position, and the connector body 2 moves towards the connector body 2. Direction is biased in the opposite direction.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5A , the biasing member 4 is arranged so as to straddle the main body side housing portion 22 and the guide member side housing portion 32 . In FIG. 5A, even when the connector body 2 is in a predetermined position, the spring (biasing member) 4 passes through the facing walls 22a, 22b of the body-side receiving portion 22 and the facing wall of the guide member-side receiving portion 32. 32a and 32b are housed in the main body side housing part 22 and the guide member side housing part 32 in a state of contacting and elastically deforming (a contracting state). In this case, since the elastic force (returning force) always acts on the spring (biasing member) 4, it is easy to return the connector body 2 to a predetermined position. However, the spring (biasing member) 4 may also be accommodated in a non-elastically deformed state (non-contracted state). In other words, when the connector body 2 is in a predetermined position, the spring (biasing member) 4 can also be positioned against the facing walls 22a, 22b of the body-side receiving portion 22 and the facing walls 32a, 32b of the guide member-side receiving portion 32. It is accommodated in the main body side housing part 22 and the guide member side housing part 32 in a state where at least one of them is in contact with each other.

As mentioned above, the biasing member 4 can be prevented from coming off from the connector body 2 when the connector 1 is produced by engaging with the drop-off preventing portion G provided in the body-side housing portion 22 . However, at least one of the main body side housing portion 22 and the guide member side housing portion 32 has a fall-off preventing portion G protruding from the facing walls 22a, 22b, 32a, 32b, and the spring (biasing member) 4 can also be arranged on the body. The drop-off prevention part G of at least one of the side housing part 22 and the guide member side housing part 32 engages. For example, in the case where the fall-off preventing portion G is provided on the guide member side housing portion 32, after the spring (biasing member) 4 is engaged with the fall-off preventing portion G of the guide member side housing portion 32, the guide member 3 The connector 1 is produced by assembling it in the connector body 2 . [Behavior related to the connector of this embodiment]

Next, the behavior of the connector 1 described above will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1A , 1B and 3 to 6B. In addition, the following description is an example after all, and the behavior of the connector of this invention is not limited to the following description.

FIG. 4A is a cross-sectional view of line IVA-IVA in the top view of the connector 1 shown in FIG. 3 , and FIG. 5A is a cross-sectional view of line VA-VA in FIG. 3 . 4A and 5A are cross-sectional views showing, for example, when the connector body 2 is at a predetermined position relative to the guide member 3 . In this embodiment, when the object connector A is assembled to the connector 1 from the conventional assembly direction D11 (refer to FIGS. 1A and 1B ), as shown in FIGS. 4A and 5A, the connector 1 is not connected to the object. Device A is in a predetermined position under relative movement.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6A , when the object connector A deviates from the conventional assembly direction D11 to one side D21 of the second direction D2 (hereinafter, conveniently referred to as "left direction D21") and intends to be assembled in the connector 1 (in FIG. 6A from the conventional assembly direction D11 to the left direction D21 offset by the offset S), in the second direction D2, the side surfaces of the assembly guide 23 and the target assembly guide A2 abut each other, and/ Alternatively, the side surfaces of the terminal T1 of the connector 1 and the counterpart terminal T2 of the counterpart connector A are in contact with each other. At that time, as shown in FIG. 4B , by engaging the engaged portion 212 and the engaging portion 312 in the third direction D3, the connector body 2 is prevented from being disengaged from the guide member 3 while being guided by the guide portion 311 in the third direction D3. 2 Direction D2 guides the guided portion 211 (refer to FIG. 5B ), as shown in FIG. 6B , so that the connector body 2 moves from a predetermined position (refer to the dotted line of the connector body 2 in FIG. 6B ) to the left direction D21 relative to the guide member 3 Relative movement (refer to the solid line of the connector body 2 in FIG. 6B ). Through the relative movement of the connector body 2 to the guide member 3, the force for forcibly assembling the connector 1 and the target connector A can be released in the second direction D2, thereby suppressing the generation of internal stress and internal stress in the connector structure C. out of shape. Also, even after the connector 1 is assembled with the counterpart connector A, when an impact is applied to the connector structure C, the impact force can be directed in the second direction D2 through the relative movement of the connector body 2 relative to the guide member 3 Release, so the impact resistance of the connector structure C increases.

When moving relative to the left direction D21, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. , expediently referred to as "right direction D22") facing wall 22b on the left direction D21 side of the guide member side receiving portion 32 and the facing wall 32a on the left direction D21 side, elastically deforms in the second direction D2 so as to contract. Thereby, since the restoring force (elastic force) of the spring (biasing member) 4 that biases the connector body 2 in the right direction D22 with respect to the guide member 3 is generated, at least when the object connector A is moved from the connector 1 When detached, the connector body 2 returns to a predetermined position relative to the guide member 3 (see FIGS. 4A and 5A ). In this way, even if the connector body 2 moves relatively to the left direction D21, since it will return to a predetermined position by the spring (biasing member) 4, there will be no trouble when repeatedly assembling and disassembling the connector A. The situation where the connector 1 is left in a position deviated from the intended position. Therefore, since the connector 1 is not located at a position deviated from the predetermined position, it is possible to suppress the difficulty in assembling the connector 1 and the counterpart connector A. FIG. In addition, the connector body 2 can also return to a predetermined position when the target connector A is being assembled in the connector 1 or when the target connector A is assembled in the connector 1 . In this case, internal stress and internal deformation in the connector structure C during assembly of the connector 1 and the counterpart connector A or after assembly can be further suppressed.

Similarly, although not particularly shown in this embodiment, when the object connector A is deviated from the normal assembly direction D11 to the right direction D22 and is to be assembled in the connector 1, in the second direction D2, the assembly guide 23 The sides of the terminal T1 of the connector 1 and the target terminal T2 of the target connector A are in contact with each other. At that time, as shown in FIG. 4C , by engaging the engaged portion 212 and the engaging portion 312 in the third direction D3, the connector body 2 is prevented from being disengaged from the guide member 3, and the guide portion 311 is guided in the third direction D3. 2. The guided portion 211 is guided in the direction D2 (refer to FIG. 5B ), so that the connector body 2 moves relative to the guide member 3 from a predetermined position toward the right direction D22. When relatively moving toward the right direction D22, as shown in FIG. Between the facing walls 32b on the right direction D22 side of the portion 32, elastically deforms so as to contract in the second direction D2. Thereby, since the restoring force (elastic force) of the spring (biasing member) 4 that biases the connector body 2 in the left direction D21 with respect to the guide member 3 is generated, at least the target connector A is separated from the connector 1. When detached, the connector body 2 returns to a predetermined position relative to the guide member 3 (see FIGS. 4A and 5A ).

In addition, in this embodiment, the wiring portion W1 electrically connected to the connector 1 is not formed by a connection pad (printed circuit) of the substrate, but is formed by a flexible electric wire. In this case, as described above, the internal stress and internal deformation on the connector 1 side generated when the connector body 2 moves from a predetermined position relative to the guide member 3 is caused by the deflection of the electric wire (wiring portion) W1. Since it is absorbed, the internal stress and internal deformation in the connector structure C are further suppressed.

According to the connector 1 according to the present embodiment constituted as above, it is provided with: the connector body 2 assembled with the corresponding connector A; 3. The guide member 3 that moves in at least one of the directions D3. Therefore, when the target connector A is to be assembled while deviating from the normal assembly direction D11 (first direction D1), the connector body 2 is directed toward the second direction D2 intersecting the first direction D1 with respect to the guide member 3. And/or move in the third direction D3, or move in the first direction D1. Thereby, due to the deviation from the conventional assembly direction D11 (first direction D1) and the force to forcibly assemble the connector 1 and the target connector A can be directed in the first direction D1, the second direction D2, and the third direction D3 Release in at least one direction of the connector structure C suppresses internal stress and internal deformation.

Furthermore, according to the connector 1 according to this embodiment, the guide member 3 is provided at a position where the wiring portion W1 can be led out from the connection portion T12 connected to the terminal T1 toward the rear surface 2b of the connector body 2 . Therefore, by leading the wiring part W1 from the back surface 2b side of the connector body 2, the width of the connector structure C can be narrowed, and good electrical characteristics can be easily obtained in the transmission path in the connector structure C.

In the present embodiment, the guide member 3 is provided with a detachment preventing portion 31 that prevents the connector body 2 from detaching from the guide member 3 , the detachment preventing portion 31 has a guide portion 311 , and the connector body 2 has a guided portion 211 guided by the guide portion 311 . In this case, it is possible to prevent the connector body 2 from being separated from the guide member 3 and to move the connector body 2 in a desired moving direction relative to the guide member 3 .

In this embodiment, the connector 1 is provided with a biasing member 4 arranged across the body-side housing portion 22 and the guide member-side housing portion 32. When the connector body 2 moves from a predetermined position relative to the guide member 3, The biasing member 4 biases the connector body 2 in a direction opposite to the moving direction of the connector body 2 in such a way that the connector body 2 returns to a predetermined position. In this case, when assembling and disassembling with the target connector A are repeated, the connector 1 does not stay at a position deviated from a predetermined position. Therefore, by placing the connector 1 at a position deviated from the predetermined position, it is possible to suppress the difficulty in assembling the connector 1 and the mating connector A. As shown in FIG.

In this embodiment, the main body side housing portion 22 and the guide member side housing portion 32 have opposing walls 22a, 22b, 32a, 32b facing the ends 4a, 4b of the spring (biasing member) 4, respectively. At least one of the housing portion 22 and the guide member side housing portion 32 has a fall-off preventing portion G protruding from the facing walls 22a, 22b, 32a, 32b and engaging with the spring (biasing member) 4 . In this case, the spring (biasing member) 4 is prevented from coming off from the connector body 2 and/or the guide member 3 when the connector 1 is assembled, so that the connector 1 is easily assembled.
