Description

通信ケーブル用コネクタCommunication cable connector
 本発明は、LAN(Local Area Network)ケーブル等の通信ケーブルの方向を変換して、被接続部に接続する通信ケーブル用コネクタに関する。 The present invention relates to a connector for a communication cable that converts the direction of a communication cable such as a LAN (Local Area Network) cable and connects it to a connected portion.
 オフィスや家庭などでパーソナルコンピュータや周辺装置をLANケーブルで接続して、ネットワークを構築する。LANケーブルの接続は、機器や壁面等に設けたLANケーブル挿入口に、LANケーブル先端の雄コネクタを垂直方向に挿入して、接続する。 Connect a personal computer or peripheral device with a LAN cable in an office or home to build a network. The LAN cable is connected by inserting a male connector at the tip of the LAN cable in a vertical direction into a LAN cable insertion port provided on a device, a wall surface, or the like.
 近年の機器の外部接続口が増加している。例えば、ノート型パーソナルコンピュータでは、コンピュータ本体の裏面又は横面にLANケーブルの挿入口、USB端子等が多数設けられている。LANケーブルの雄コネクタを挿入口に垂直方向に挿入した場合、比較的剛性の高いケーブルを有するLANケーブルを、自由に装置の壁面に沿って配置することは難しい。 The number of external connection ports for devices in recent years is increasing. For example, in a notebook personal computer, a LAN cable insertion slot, USB terminals, and the like are provided on the back or side of the computer body. When the male connector of the LAN cable is inserted in the insertion port in the vertical direction, it is difficult to freely arrange the LAN cable having a relatively high rigidity cable along the wall surface of the apparatus.
 この要請に対し、LANケーブル用コネクタが提案されている。このケーブル用コネクタは、LANケーブルの雄コネクタを有し、雄コネクタを回転可能に構成したものである。これにより、LANケーブルの雄コネクタを、ケーブル用コネクタの雌コネクタに接続し、ケーブル用コネクタの雄コネクタの回転角度を適宜設定することにより、壁面に沿ったLANケーブルのレイアウト等、自由なレイアウトが可能となる。 In response to this request, a LAN cable connector has been proposed. This cable connector has a male connector of a LAN cable, and the male connector is configured to be rotatable. As a result, by connecting the male connector of the LAN cable to the female connector of the cable connector and appropriately setting the rotation angle of the male connector of the cable connector, a free layout such as the layout of the LAN cable along the wall surface can be achieved. It becomes possible.

 この提案のケーブル用コネクタでは、雄コネクタを回転自在にコネクタ本体に支持する。このため、雄コネクタの支持部材には、雄コネクタを回転する機能と、外力に対し雄コネクタを強固に保持する機能とが求められる。既提案のケーブル用コネクタでは、雄コネクタの保持機能が充分でないおそれがあり、コネクタの接続及び使用時に、雄コネクタがコネクタ本体から折れてしまうおそれがあった。 In this proposed cable connector, the male connector is rotatably supported on the connector body. For this reason, the support member of the male connector is required to have a function of rotating the male connector and a function of firmly holding the male connector against an external force. In the proposed cable connector, the holding function of the male connector may not be sufficient, and the male connector may be broken from the connector body when the connector is connected and used.
 本発明の目的は、雄コネクタの回転機能を保障しつつ、雄コネクタを強固に支持することができる通信ケーブル用コネクタを提供することにある。 An object of the present invention is to provide a communication cable connector that can firmly support a male connector while ensuring the rotation function of the male connector.
 この目的の達成のため、本発明の通信ケーブル用コネクタは、通信ケーブルが挿入され、前記通信ケーブルの雄コネクタと接続する雌コネクタと、前記雌コネクタとケーブル接続し、前記通信ケーブルの挿入方向と異なる方向に雄コネクタを突き出す穴とを有するハウジングと、前記雄コネクタを保持し、前記ハウジングの穴縁に突き当る突き当て部を有するソケットと、前記ソケットの下部に設けたリング部材と係合するリングを有し、前記ソケットを前記ハウジングとの間に回転可能に挟みこんで保持するカバーとを有する。 In order to achieve this object, the communication cable connector of the present invention has a communication cable inserted therein, a female connector connected to the male connector of the communication cable, a cable connection to the female connector, and an insertion direction of the communication cable. A housing having a hole projecting a male connector in a different direction, a socket holding the male connector and having an abutting portion that abuts against a hole edge of the housing, and a ring member provided at a lower portion of the socket A cover having a ring and rotatably holding the socket between the housing and the housing;
 又、本発明は、好ましくは、前記ソケットのリング部材又は前記カバーのリングに、前記ソケットの回転係止機構を設けた。 Also, in the present invention, it is preferable that a rotation locking mechanism for the socket is provided on the ring member of the socket or the ring of the cover.
 雄コネクタをソケットに取り付け、ソケットをハウジングとカバーで保持し、挟みこむため、雄コネクタにかかる外力による雄コネクタの折れ等の損傷を防止できる。更に、このように構成しても、ソケットにハウジングの穴縁に突き当る突き当て部を設け、且つソケットの下部にカバーのリングと係合するリング形状部分を設けたので、雄コネクタの回転を保障できる。 Since the male connector is attached to the socket, the socket is held by the housing and the cover, and sandwiched, the male connector can be prevented from being damaged due to external force applied to the male connector. Further, even if configured in this manner, the socket is provided with an abutting portion that contacts the edge of the hole of the housing, and a ring-shaped portion that engages with the ring of the cover is provided at the lower portion of the socket. Can be guaranteed.

 図5及び図7により、図1乃至図3で説明したソケット3を説明する。尚、図5は、ソケットの斜視図であり、図7はソケットの断面図である。図5に示すように、ソケット3の上ブッロク30の円形上面には、接続線導出穴32と、導出穴32の周囲に設けた4つのソケット固定ブロック32-1,32-2,32-3,32-4を有する。固定ブロック32-1,32-2,32-3,32-4は、ソケット3の上ブロック30の円形上面の最外円の内側に設けられる。この最外円と固定ブロックの間が、第1のハウジング1のガイド縁14に突き当てられる突き当て縁31を形成する(図7も参照)。 The socket 3 described in FIGS. 1 to 3 will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 is a perspective view of the socket, and FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of the socket. As shown in FIG. 5, on the circular upper surface of the upper block 30 of the socket 3, there are a connecting wire lead-out hole 32 and four socket fixing blocks 32-1, 32-2, and 32-3 provided around the lead-out hole 32. , 32-4. The fixed blocks 32-1, 32-2, 32-3, and 32-4 are provided inside the outermost circle on the circular upper surface of the upper block 30 of the socket 3. Between the outermost circle and the fixed block, an abutting edge 31 that abuts against the guide edge 14 of the first housing 1 is formed (see also FIG. 7).
 又、ソケット3の1つのソケット固定ブロック32-2の外縁で上部には、スライド突起33が設けられる。このスライド突起33は、前述の第1のハウジング1のガイド縁14の切り欠き部16を通過する形状をしており、且つ上ブロック30の上面との間に間隙を形成する(図7参照)。 Also, a slide protrusion 33 is provided on the outer edge of one socket fixing block 32-2 of the socket 3 at the top. The slide protrusion 33 has a shape that passes through the notch 16 of the guide edge 14 of the first housing 1 described above, and forms a gap with the upper surface of the upper block 30 (see FIG. 7). .
 ソケット3は、上ブロック30に連結ブロック34を介し接続された下ブッロク36を有する。上ブロック30と下ブロック36の間の連結ブッロク34以外の空間が、雄コネクタ2の接続線28の導出空間37を形成する。下ブロック36には、円弧状に複数のリブ38-1、38-2、38-3、・・・、38-6が設けられる。図5及び図7に示すように、この複数のリブ38-1~38-6は、離間しており、リブ間の間隙が、図6、図8で説明するカバー5の回転係止突起56に係合し、ソケット3の回転方向の位置決めを行う。 The socket 3 has a lower block 36 connected to the upper block 30 via a connecting block 34. A space other than the connection block 34 between the upper block 30 and the lower block 36 forms a lead-out space 37 for the connection line 28 of the male connector 2. The lower block 36 is provided with a plurality of ribs 38-1, 38-2, 38-3,. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 7, the plurality of ribs 38-1 to 38-6 are separated from each other, and the gap between the ribs is a rotation locking projection 56 of the cover 5 described in FIGS. The socket 3 is positioned in the rotational direction.
 次に、図6及び図8により、カバー5を説明する。図6に示すように、カバー5は、カバー面50の中央に円筒形状のスライドリング52と、スライドリング52の一部に設けた回転係止突起56を有する。又、カバー5の四隅には、4つの足部54-1,54-2,54-3,54-4が設けられる。各足部54-1,54-2,54-3,54-4の上端には、ロックピン58A~58Dが設けられる。 Next, the cover 5 will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 6, the cover 5 includes a cylindrical slide ring 52 at the center of the cover surface 50 and a rotation locking protrusion 56 provided on a part of the slide ring 52. In addition, four foot portions 54-1, 54-2, 54-3, 54-4 are provided at the four corners of the cover 5. Lock pins 58A to 58D are provided at the upper ends of the feet 54-1, 54-2, 54-3, 54-4.
 図1及び図3を参照して、この構成のコネクタの製作過程を説明する。LAN雄コネクタ2は、前述のように、コネクタブロック24に接続線28及び電極ピン29が設けられている。この雄コネクタ2の接続線28及び電極ピン29をソケット3の導出穴32に差し込むことにより、雄コネクタ32の下部は、4つのコネクタ固定ブロック32-1~32-4に保持される(図1参照)。この時、接着材を用いて、雄コネクタ32の下部を、4つのコネクタ固定ブロック32-1~32-4に固定することができる。 Referring to FIGS. 1 and 3, the manufacturing process of the connector having this configuration will be described. As described above, the LAN male connector 2 is provided with the connection line 28 and the electrode pin 29 in the connector block 24. By inserting the connection line 28 and electrode pin 29 of the male connector 2 into the lead-out hole 32 of the socket 3, the lower part of the male connector 32 is held by the four connector fixing blocks 32-1 to 32-4 (FIG. 1). reference). At this time, the lower part of the male connector 32 can be fixed to the four connector fixing blocks 32-1 to 32-4 by using an adhesive.
 次に、接続線28の先端の電極ピン29を、サブアッセンブリー6の穴に挿入し、折り曲げ、サブアッセンブリー6を、第2のハウジング4の挿入口40の上部に取り付ける。そして、雄コネクタ2の上部を第1のハウジング1の挿入穴12に挿入する。図4(A)では、第1のハウジング1の下部から雄コネクタ2を挿入穴12に挿入する。 Next, the electrode pin 29 at the tip of the connection line 28 is inserted into the hole of the subassembly 6 and bent, and the subassembly 6 is attached to the upper portion of the insertion port 40 of the second housing 4. Then, the upper part of the male connector 2 is inserted into the insertion hole 12 of the first housing 1. In FIG. 4A, the male connector 2 is inserted into the insertion hole 12 from the lower part of the first housing 1.
 この時、図4及び図5で説明したように、挿入穴12の外形は、ソケット3の外形とほぼ同じであり、且つ挿入穴12の内側にはガイド縁14が設けられているため、ソケット3の突き当て縁31は、挿入穴12のガイド縁14に突き当る。このため、ソケット3に取り付けられた雄コネクタ2のみが、第1のハウジング1から飛び出し、ソケット3は、第1のハウジング1に突き当てられる。 At this time, as described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5, the outer shape of the insertion hole 12 is substantially the same as the outer shape of the socket 3, and the guide edge 14 is provided inside the insertion hole 12. The third butting edge 31 abuts against the guide edge 14 of the insertion hole 12. For this reason, only the male connector 2 attached to the socket 3 protrudes from the first housing 1, and the socket 3 is abutted against the first housing 1.
 ここで、ソケット3のスライド突起33を、第1のハウジング1のガイド縁14の切り欠き部16に一致するよう、回転方向の位置合わせを行い、ソケット3を第1のハウジング1に突き当てると、ソケット3のスライド突起33が、第1のハウジング1のガイド縁14の切り欠き部16を通過し、且つソケット3の突き当て縁31は、挿入穴12のガイド縁14に突き当る。このため、ソケット3を回転すると、ソケット3のスライド突起33と突き当て縁31で、第1のハウジング1のガイド縁14を挟むため、ソケット3の第1のハウジング1からの離脱を防止できる。又、後述するように、雄コネクタ2の回転位置を変更するため、雄コネクタ2を回転しても、雄コネクタ2を取り付けたソケット3の第1のハウジング1からの離脱を防止できる。 Here, when the slide protrusion 33 of the socket 3 is aligned in the rotational direction so as to coincide with the notch 16 of the guide edge 14 of the first housing 1, the socket 3 is abutted against the first housing 1. The slide protrusion 33 of the socket 3 passes through the notch 16 of the guide edge 14 of the first housing 1, and the abutting edge 31 of the socket 3 abuts against the guide edge 14 of the insertion hole 12. For this reason, when the socket 3 is rotated, the guide edge 14 of the first housing 1 is sandwiched between the slide protrusion 33 and the abutting edge 31 of the socket 3, so that the socket 3 can be prevented from being detached from the first housing 1. Further, as will be described later, since the rotation position of the male connector 2 is changed, the socket 3 to which the male connector 2 is attached can be prevented from being detached from the first housing 1 even if the male connector 2 is rotated.
 次に、第1のハウジング1を第2のハウジング2に連結する(図3参照)。そして、カバー5を第1のハウジング2の底面から取り付ける。この時、第1のハウジング2のソケット3の下ブロック36の円弧状の複数のリブ38-1、38-2、38-3、・・・、38-6が、カバー5のスライドリング52の外周に嵌めこまれる。そして、リブ38-1、38-2、38-3、・・・、38-6間の1つの間隙は、スライドリング52に設けられた回転係止突起56に嵌め合う。 Next, the first housing 1 is connected to the second housing 2 (see FIG. 3). Then, the cover 5 is attached from the bottom surface of the first housing 2. At this time, a plurality of arc-shaped ribs 38-1, 38-2, 38-3,..., 38-6 of the lower block 36 of the socket 3 of the first housing 2 are formed on the slide ring 52 of the cover 5. Fits on the outer periphery. Then, one gap between the ribs 38-1, 38-2, 38-3,..., 38-6 fits into the rotation locking projection 56 provided on the slide ring 52.
 このため、ソケット3の下部も、カバー5に保持される。又、ソケット3のリブ38-1、38-2、38-3、・・・、38-6間の間隙が、スライドリング52の回転係止突起56に嵌め合うことにより、ソケット3、即ち、雄コネクタ2の回転位置が固定される。そして、リブの間隙は複数有るため、雄コネクタ2を回転すると、ソケット3のリブが撓み、他の間隙がスライドリング52の回転係止突起56に嵌め合う。このため、雄コネクタの回転位置の変更も容易である。 Therefore, the lower part of the socket 3 is also held by the cover 5. Further, the gap between the ribs 38-1, 38-2, 38-3,..., 38-6 of the socket 3 is fitted to the rotation locking projection 56 of the slide ring 52, so that the socket 3, that is, The rotational position of the male connector 2 is fixed. Since there are a plurality of gaps between the ribs, when the male connector 2 is rotated, the ribs of the socket 3 are bent and the other gaps are fitted into the rotation locking projections 56 of the slide ring 52. For this reason, it is easy to change the rotational position of the male connector.
 更に、カバー5の足部54-1~54-4のロックピン58A~58Dが、第1のハウジング1のピンロック穴19-1,19-2,19-3,19-4に嵌めあう。このため、ソケット3の下部を保持するカバー5は、第1のハウジング1に保持される。即ち、雄コネクタ2を取り付けたソケット3は、その上部と下部で、第1のハウジング1とカバー5に挟まれて保持されるとともに、カバー5も第1のハウジング1に保持される。 Further, the lock pins 58A to 58D of the feet 54-1 to 54-4 of the cover 5 are fitted into the pin lock holes 19-1, 19-2, 19-3, 19-4 of the first housing 1. Therefore, the cover 5 that holds the lower portion of the socket 3 is held by the first housing 1. That is, the socket 3 to which the male connector 2 is attached is held between the first housing 1 and the cover 5 at the upper and lower portions, and the cover 5 is also held by the first housing 1.
 雄コネクタ2はソケット3に取り付けられているため、ソケット3自体を強固に保持することができる。このため、雄コネクタ2を回転可能にしても、回転時、取り付け時、使用時の雄コネクタが受ける外力に対し、雄コネクタの折れ等を防止できる。この雄コネクタ部10の回転位置は、リブの分割数により、90度、180度以外にも他の角度(例えば、30度、45度、135度等)も可能である。 Since the male connector 2 is attached to the socket 3, the socket 3 itself can be firmly held. For this reason, even if the male connector 2 can be rotated, the male connector can be prevented from being bent against the external force received by the male connector during rotation, attachment, and use. The rotation position of the male connector portion 10 can be other angles (for example, 30 degrees, 45 degrees, 135 degrees, etc.) in addition to 90 degrees and 180 degrees, depending on the number of rib divisions.
 又、ソケット3のスライド突起33と突き当て縁31で、第1のハウジング1のガイド縁14を挟むため、ソケット3の第1のハウジング1からの離脱を防止できる。更に、カバー5の足部54-1~54-4のロックピン58A~58Dが、第1のハウジング1のピンロック穴19-1,19-2,19-3,19-4に嵌めあう構成のため、カバー5を第1のハウジング1の底面に接着しなくても、第1のハウジング1とカバー5で、ソケット3を保持できる。即ち、カバー5を第1のハウジング1の底面に接着すると、強固な箱構造を形成できる。しかし、組み立ての際に接着材の塗布により、完成品の見栄えが低下するおそれがある。これに対し、例え、カバー5の足部54-1~54-4のロックピン58A~58Dが、第1のハウジング1のピンロック穴19-1,19-2,19-3,19-4との嵌め合わせに、接着材を使用して、強固な構成としても、少量の接着材のため、見栄えに影響が少ない。 Further, since the guide edge 14 of the first housing 1 is sandwiched between the slide protrusion 33 and the abutting edge 31 of the socket 3, it is possible to prevent the socket 3 from being detached from the first housing 1. Further, the lock pins 58A to 58D of the feet 54-1 to 54-4 of the cover 5 are fitted into the pin lock holes 19-1, 19-2, 19-3, 19-4 of the first housing 1. Therefore, the socket 3 can be held by the first housing 1 and the cover 5 without bonding the cover 5 to the bottom surface of the first housing 1. That is, when the cover 5 is bonded to the bottom surface of the first housing 1, a strong box structure can be formed. However, the appearance of the finished product may be reduced due to the application of the adhesive during assembly. On the other hand, for example, the lock pins 58A to 58D of the feet 54-1 to 54-4 of the cover 5 are pin lock holes 19-1, 19-2, 19-3, 19-4 of the first housing 1. Even if the adhesive is used for fitting together with a strong structure, the amount of the adhesive is small, so the appearance is less affected.
 以上、本発明を実施の形態により説明したが、本発明の趣旨の範囲内において、本発明は、種々の変形が可能であり、本発明の範囲からこれらを排除するものではない。例えば、カバーに、足部とロックピンを設けた構成で説明したが、カバーに足部とロックピンを設けずに、カバーを第1のハウジングに取り付ける構成をとっても良い。又、ソケット3のスライド突起33と突き当て縁31で、第1のハウジング1のガイド縁14を挟む構成を削除しても良い。更に、ソケット側に回転係止突起を設け、カバーのスライドリング側に複数の間隙や穴等の回転係止突起に係合する部材を設け、雄コネクタの回転及び回転位置決めを保障する構成をとっても良い。同様に、第1のハウジングと第2のハウジングとを一体とした構成でも良い。 Although the present invention has been described above with reference to the embodiments, the present invention can be variously modified within the scope of the present invention, and these are not excluded from the scope of the present invention. For example, although the cover has been described as having a foot and a lock pin, the cover may be attached to the first housing without providing the foot and the lock pin. Further, the configuration in which the guide edge 14 of the first housing 1 is sandwiched between the slide protrusion 33 and the abutting edge 31 of the socket 3 may be deleted. Further, a rotation locking projection is provided on the socket side, a member that engages with the rotation locking projection such as a plurality of gaps and holes is provided on the slide ring side of the cover, and the rotation and rotation positioning of the male connector are ensured. good. Similarly, the first housing and the second housing may be integrated.
 このように、通信用コネクタの雄コネクタが、LANケーブルの方向を変換するため、比較的剛性の高いケーブルを有するLANケーブルを、自由に装置の壁面に沿って配置でき、他の配線と交差したりして、配線が乱雑となることを防止でき、取り付け、取り外し作業を軽減できる。又、壁面に沿ったLANケーブルのレイアウトが可能となり、配線がすっきりした形となり、見た目も良くなる。 In this way, since the male connector of the communication connector changes the direction of the LAN cable, a LAN cable having a relatively high rigidity cable can be freely arranged along the wall surface of the apparatus and intersects with other wiring. In other words, the wiring can be prevented from becoming messy, and the installation and removal work can be reduced. In addition, the layout of the LAN cable along the wall surface becomes possible, the wiring becomes clean and the appearance is improved.
 又、雄コネクタをソケットに取り付け、ソケットをハウジングとカバーで保持し、挟みこむため、雄コネクタにかかる外力による雄コネクタの折れ等の損傷を防止できる。更に、このように構成しても、ソケットにハウジングの穴縁に突き当る突き当て部を設け、且つソケットの下部にカバーのリングと係合するリング形状部分を設けたので、雄コネクタの回転を保障できる。 Also, since the male connector is attached to the socket, the socket is held by the housing and the cover, and sandwiched, it is possible to prevent damage such as bending of the male connector due to external force applied to the male connector. Further, even if configured in this manner, the socket is provided with an abutting portion that contacts the edge of the hole of the housing, and a ring-shaped portion that engages with the ring of the cover is provided at the lower portion of the socket. Can be guaranteed.
