コネクタの固定構造及び固定方法Connector fixing structure and fixing method
　本発明は、コネクタの固定構造及び固定方法に係り、特に、コネクタを収容したシールドシェルを自動車のフロアパネルの床下面に取り付ける際に好適な技術に関する。 The present invention relates to a connector fixing structure and a fixing method, and more particularly to a technique suitable for attaching a shield shell containing a connector to a lower surface of a floor panel of an automobile.
　電気自動車やハイブリッドカーなどの自動車に搭載されるモータは、バッテリからインバータを介して電力が供給される。このバッテリは、車体の後方（例えば、後部座席の後方）に搭載され、ワイヤーハーネスを介してインバータと接続されている。このワイヤーハーネスは、複数の高圧電線の束であり、フロアパネルの地面と対向する床下面に沿って配索される。このワイヤーハーネスは、一方の端末にコネクタが接続され、他方の端末にインバータが接続される。コネクタは、ハウジングが導電性を有するシールドシェルに収容された状態でフロアパネルの床下面に固定され、シールドシェルから突出したコネクタの端子が、フロアパネルの開口を介してフロアパネルの上方に設置されたバッテリの端子台と接続される。この種のコネクタの固定構造は、特許文献１に開示されている。 Motors mounted on automobiles such as electric cars and hybrid cars are supplied with electric power from a battery via an inverter. This battery is mounted behind the vehicle body (for example, behind the rear seat) and is connected to the inverter via a wire harness. This wire harness is a bundle of a plurality of high-voltage electric wires, and is routed along the floor lower surface facing the ground of the floor panel. In this wire harness, a connector is connected to one terminal, and an inverter is connected to the other terminal. The connector is fixed to the lower surface of the floor panel in a state where the housing is accommodated in the conductive shield shell, and the connector terminal protruding from the shield shell is installed above the floor panel through the opening of the floor panel.

　ところで、シールドシェルは、車両工場でフロアパネルに固定されるが、その際、作業者は、フロアパネルの下方から床下面を見上げる格好で作業することになる。すなわち、作業者は、ハウジングを収容したシールドシェルを床下面に押し付けながら、シールドシェルをフロアパネルにボルト締結することになる。このため、シールドシェルの固定作業の負担が大きくなるという問題がある。 By the way, the shield shell is fixed to the floor panel at the vehicle factory. At that time, the worker works in a manner looking up at the lower surface of the floor from below the floor panel. In other words, the operator fastens the shield shell to the floor panel with bolts while pressing the shield shell containing the housing against the lower surface of the floor. For this reason, there exists a problem that the burden of the fixing operation | work of a shield shell becomes large.
　一方、フロアパネルは、導電性の材料で形成され、床下面にシールドシェルのフランジ部を押し当てて固定することにより、所定のシールド性を確保している。ところが、フロアパネルの床下面は、塗装が施されている。すなわち、シールドシェルのフランジ部は、塗装面を介してフロアパネルの床下面に固定されるため、高いシールド性を安定して確保するためには、改善の余地がある。 On the other hand, the floor panel is formed of a conductive material, and a predetermined shielding property is secured by pressing and fixing the flange portion of the shield shell to the lower surface of the floor. However, the lower surface of the floor panel is painted. That is, since the flange portion of the shield shell is fixed to the floor lower surface of the floor panel through the painted surface, there is room for improvement in order to stably secure high shielding properties.
　本発明は、このような問題に鑑みてなされたものであり、コネクタを収容したシールドシェルをフロアパネルに固定する際の作業効率の向上を図ることを第１の課題とする。また、本発明は、高いシールド性を確実に得ることを第２の課題とする。 This invention is made in view of such a problem, and makes it the 1st subject to aim at the improvement of the working efficiency at the time of fixing the shield shell which accommodated the connector to a floor panel. Moreover, this invention makes it a 2nd subject to obtain high shield property reliably.
　上記課題を解決するため、本発明は、壁部と、端子と、シールドシェルとを有する、前記壁部の下面側に固定されるコネクタと、相手側端子を有する、前記壁部の上面側に位置する接続相手と、を備え、前記壁部に設けられた開口に前記端子を挿通させて該端子と前記接続相手とを接続するコネクタの固定構造であって、前記シールドシェルは、前記端子の軸方向と交差する方向に延在するフランジ部と、このフランジ部から突出する第１の突起部とを有し、前記壁部は、前記開口の周縁から下方に突出する第２の突起部を有しており、この第２の突起部は、該第２の突起部の上面に前記第１の突起部がスライドするスライド面が形成され、前記第１の突起部が前記スライド面に当接することにより、前記シールドシェルが前記壁部に支承され、前記端子と前記相手側端子は、前記第１の突起部が前記第２の突起部の前記スライド面に沿って設定位置に到達したときに、互いに接続される。 In order to solve the above problems, the present invention has a wall portion, a terminal, a shield shell, a connector fixed to the lower surface side of the wall portion, and a mating terminal, on the upper surface side of the wall portion. A connection partner positioned, and a connector fixing structure for connecting the terminal and the connection partner by inserting the terminal through an opening provided in the wall portion, wherein the shield shell A flange portion extending in a direction intersecting the axial direction; and a first protrusion portion protruding from the flange portion, and the wall portion includes a second protrusion portion protruding downward from a peripheral edge of the opening. The second protrusion has a slide surface on which the first protrusion slides on the upper surface of the second protrusion, and the first protrusion contacts the slide surface. The shield shell is supported on the wall. Is, the mating terminal and the terminal, when the first projection reaches the set position along said sliding surface of said second protrusions are connected to each other.
　これによれば、シールドシェルは、第１の突起部がスライド面と当接することにより、第２の突起部を介して壁部に支持される。このため、シールドシェルを壁部に固定する際には、シールドシェルを下から持ち上げながら作業する必要がないため、作業効率の向上を図ることができる。また、シールドシェルは、第１の突起部をスライド面に沿ってスライドさせることにより、スライド面の塗装を剥離することができる。これにより、塗装面を介在させることなく、シールドシェル（第１の突起部）を壁部（スライド面）と接触させて固定することができるため、高いシールド性を確保することができる。 According to this, the shield shell is supported by the wall portion through the second protrusion portion when the first protrusion portion comes into contact with the slide surface. For this reason, when fixing the shield shell to the wall portion, it is not necessary to work while lifting the shield shell from below, so that the work efficiency can be improved. Moreover, the shield shell can peel the coating of a slide surface by sliding a 1st projection part along a slide surface. Thereby, since a shield shell (1st projection part) can be made to contact and be fixed to a wall part (slide surface), without interposing a coating surface, high shield nature can be secured.
　この場合において、前記第１の突起部は、前記端子の突出方向と反対側に前記フランジ部から突出され、互いに略平行に延在する一対の突条をなして形成されるものとする。 In this case, the first protrusion is formed as a pair of protrusions protruding from the flange portion on the opposite side to the protruding direction of the terminal and extending substantially parallel to each other.
　これによれば、第１の突起部をスライド面に沿って直線状にスライドさせるだけで、スライド面の塗装を容易に剥離することができる。 According to this, it is possible to easily peel the paint on the slide surface by simply sliding the first protrusion along the slide surface.
　また、前記第１の突起部それぞれは、先端に向かって先細る形状に形成されるものとする。 Each of the first protrusions is formed in a shape that tapers toward the tip.
　これによれば、第１の突起部とスライド面との摩擦を大きくすることができるため、スライド面の塗装をより剥離しやすくすることができる。 According to this, since the friction between the first protrusion and the slide surface can be increased, the paint on the slide surface can be more easily peeled off.
　また、前記第１の突起部は、前記端子の突出方向に突出されるとともに、前記端子の軸を中心とする周方向に互いに離間して複数設けられ、それぞれの先端には前記端子の軸から離れる方向へ延出する第１の延出部が形成され、前記第２の突起部は、全体として円筒状に形成されるように、周方向に互いに離間して複数設けられ、それぞれの先端には中心軸に向かって延出する第２の延出部を有し、この隣り合う第２の延出部の隙間は、前記第１の延出部をそれぞれ挿入可能に形成され、前記スライド面は、前記第２の延出部に形成されるとともに、前記第１の延出部を前記端子の軸周りに回転したときに、該第１の延出部がそれぞれスライド可能に形成されるものとする。 The first protrusions protrude in the protruding direction of the terminal, and are provided apart from each other in the circumferential direction around the axis of the terminal. A first extending portion extending in a separating direction is formed, and a plurality of the second projecting portions are provided spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction so as to be formed in a cylindrical shape as a whole. Has a second extending portion extending toward the central axis, and the gap between the adjacent second extending portions is formed so that the first extending portion can be inserted thereinto, and the slide surface Is formed in the second extension part, and when the first extension part is rotated around the axis of the terminal, the first extension part is formed to be slidable respectively. And
　すなわち、第１の延出部をそれぞれ隣り合う第２の延出部の隙間から挿入して、端子を接続相手と接続し、第１の延出部を第２の延出部のスライド面と当接させた状態で、端子の軸周りに第１の延出部を回転させる。これにより、第１の延出部は、スライド面に沿って、その回転方向にスライドするため、スライド面の塗装を剥離することができる。このようにしても、高いシールド性を確保することができる。 That is, the first extension part is inserted through the gap between the adjacent second extension parts, the terminal is connected to the connection partner, and the first extension part is connected to the slide surface of the second extension part. With the contact, the first extension is rotated around the axis of the terminal. Thereby, since the 1st extension part slides in the rotation direction along a slide surface, it can peel paint of a slide surface. Even in this way, high shielding properties can be secured.
　この場合において、シールドシェルは、複数の円筒体を互いに同軸に積み上げて形成され、これらの円筒体はそれぞれ軸回りに独立して回転可能に形成されるものとする。 In this case, the shield shell is formed by stacking a plurality of cylindrical bodies coaxially with each other, and each of these cylindrical bodies is formed so as to be independently rotatable about an axis.
　これによれば、シールドシェルは、コネクタにワイヤーハーネスが接続されていても、ワイヤーハーネスの配策方向と関係なく、第１の延出部を回転させることができるから、シールドシェルを床下面に固定する作業を効率よく行うことができる。 According to this, even if the wire harness is connected to the connector, the shield shell can rotate the first extending portion regardless of the wiring direction of the wire harness. The fixing work can be performed efficiently.
　また、上記課題を解決するため、本発明は、コネクタを収容したシールドシェルを導電性の壁部の下面側に固定するとともに、前記コネクタから突出する端子を前記壁部の開口に挿通して該壁部の上面側に位置する接続相手と接続するコネクタの固定方法であって、前記シールドシェルは、前記端子の軸方向と交差する方向に延在するフランジ部と、このフランジ部から突出する第１の突起部とを有し、前記壁部は、前記開口の周縁から下方に突出する第２の突起部を有しており、この第２の突起部は、該第２の突起部の上面に前記第１の突起部がスライドするスライド面が形成され、前記第１の突起部を前記スライド面に当接させることによって、前記シールドシェルを前記壁部に支承させ、前記第１の突起部を前記スライド面に沿って設定位置までスライドさせて、前記端子と前記接続相手を接続し、前記端子と前記接続相手が接続されている状態で、前記シールドシェルを前記壁部に固定する。 In order to solve the above problems, the present invention fixes a shield shell accommodating a connector to the lower surface side of the conductive wall portion, and inserts a terminal protruding from the connector into the opening of the wall portion. A method of fixing a connector connected to a connection partner located on an upper surface side of a wall portion, wherein the shield shell includes a flange portion extending in a direction intersecting with an axial direction of the terminal, and a first protrusion protruding from the flange portion. And the wall has a second protrusion protruding downward from the periphery of the opening, and the second protrusion is an upper surface of the second protrusion. A slide surface on which the first projection is slid, and the first projection is brought into contact with the slide surface so that the shield shell is supported on the wall, and the first projection Along the sliding surface Slide into position, connecting the connection partner to the terminal in a state where the connection partner and the terminal is connected, to secure the shield shell to the wall portion.
　本発明によれば、コネクタを収容したシールドシェルをフロアパネルに固定する際の作業効率の向上を図ることができる。また、本発明によれば、高いシールド性を確実に得ることができる。 According to the present invention, it is possible to improve work efficiency when the shield shell accommodating the connector is fixed to the floor panel. Further, according to the present invention, high shielding properties can be obtained with certainty.

　以下、本発明を適用してなるコネクタの固定構造及び固定方法の実施形態を図面に基づいて説明する。図５に示すように、電気自動車やハイブリッドカー等の自動車１は、バッテリ３から出力された電力がインバータ５を介してモータ７に供給されるようになっている。インバータ５とモータ７は、互いに電気的に接続され、車体前方のエンジンルームに搭載される。また、バッテリ３は、車体後方（例えば、後部座席９の後方）に配置され、導電性を有する金属性のフロアパネル１１（壁部）の上方に設けられる。バッテリ３とインバータ５は、ワイヤーハーネス１３を介して電気的に接続される。 Hereinafter, embodiments of a connector fixing structure and a fixing method to which the present invention is applied will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 5, in an automobile 1 such as an electric car or a hybrid car, electric power output from a battery 3 is supplied to a motor 7 via an inverter 5. The inverter 5 and the motor 7 are electrically connected to each other and mounted in the engine room in front of the vehicle body. The battery 3 is disposed behind the vehicle body (for example, behind the rear seat 9) and is provided above the conductive metal floor panel 11 (wall portion). The battery 3 and the inverter 5 are electrically connected via the wire harness 13.
　ワイヤーハーネス１３は、フロアパネル１１の地面と対向する床下面１５に沿って配索され、一方の端末がインバータ５と接続され、他方の端末がコネクタ１７と接続されている。コネクタ１７は、例えば、導電性の端子１９の一部が樹脂製のハウジングで覆って形成され、端子１９の一端側が、ワイヤーハーネス１３の他方の端末と接続され、端子１９の他端側が、接続相手が保持されたバッテリ側の端子台（図示せず）と接続される。 The wire harness 13 is routed along the floor lower surface 15 facing the ground of the floor panel 11, one terminal is connected to the inverter 5, and the other terminal is connected to the connector 17. The connector 17 is formed, for example, by covering a part of the conductive terminal 19 with a resin housing, one end of the terminal 19 is connected to the other terminal of the wire harness 13, and the other end of the terminal 19 is connected. It is connected to a terminal block (not shown) on the battery side where the other party is held.
　コネクタ１７は、ハウジングが導電性を有する金属製のシールドシェル２１に収容され、床下面１５に固定される。以下、コネクタ１７の一部材を構成するハウジングをコネクタ１７と呼称することがある。図１は、コネクタ１７を収容したシールドシェル２１を車体の前方側から見たときの正面図であり、フロアパネル１１の一部を断面で表している。 The connector 17 is housed in a metallic shield shell 21 whose housing is conductive, and is fixed to the floor lower surface 15. Hereinafter, a housing constituting one member of the connector 17 may be referred to as a connector 17. FIG. 1 is a front view of the shield shell 21 that houses the connector 17 as viewed from the front side of the vehicle body, and shows a part of the floor panel 11 in cross section.
　シールドシェル２１は、円筒状に形成された本体部２２の上端部に、コネクタ１７を収容するための開口２３が設けられ、封止された下端部に向かって断面を縮径させて形成される。シールドシェル２１に収容されたコネクタ１７は、シールドシェル２１の内部において、位置決めされている。コネクタ１７に保持された端子１９は、図１に示されるように、開口２３から上方向に向かってシールドシェル２１（本体部２２）の軸と略同軸で突出するようになっている。シールドシェル２１から突出された端子１９は、フロアパネル１１を貫通する開口２５を介して床下面１５と反対側（室内側）に設けられた端子台の接続相手と接続されるようになっている。ワイヤーハーネス１３の他方の端末は、貫通孔２７を介してコネクタ１７内部に進入し、そのコネクタ１７の端子１９と接続されている。 The shield shell 21 is formed with an opening 23 for accommodating the connector 17 at the upper end portion of the main body portion 22 formed in a cylindrical shape, and the cross-section is reduced in diameter toward the sealed lower end portion. . The connector 17 accommodated in the shield shell 21 is positioned inside the shield shell 21. As shown in FIG. 1, the terminal 19 held by the connector 17 protrudes substantially coaxially with the axis of the shield shell 21 (main body portion 22) upward from the opening 23. The terminal 19 protruding from the shield shell 21 is connected to a connection partner of a terminal block provided on the opposite side (indoor side) to the floor lower surface 15 through an opening 25 penetrating the floor panel 11. . The other end of the wire harness 13 enters the connector 17 through the through hole 27 and is connected to the terminal 19 of the connector 17.
　次に、コネクタ１７を収容したシールドシェル２１をフロアパネル１１の床下面１５に固定するための特徴的な構造について説明する。シールドシェル２１は、本体部２２の上端部から上端面（開口２３の周縁）に沿って突出するフランジ部２９を有している。このフランジ部２９は、本体部２２の軸、つまり、端子１９の軸と交差（図１では、略直交）する面に沿って延在し、平面視で矩形状に形成されている。 Next, a characteristic structure for fixing the shield shell 21 accommodating the connector 17 to the floor lower surface 15 of the floor panel 11 will be described. The shield shell 21 has a flange portion 29 that protrudes from the upper end portion of the main body portion 22 along the upper end surface (periphery of the opening 23). The flange portion 29 extends along a surface intersecting with the axis of the main body portion 22, that is, the axis of the terminal 19 (substantially orthogonal in FIG. 1), and is formed in a rectangular shape in plan view.
　また、フランジ部２９は、端子１９の突出方向と反対側、すなわち、地面側に向かって一対の突起部３１（第１の突起部）が突出している。これらの突起部３１は、平面視で矩形状に形成されたフランジ部２９の４辺のうちの向かい合う２辺にそれぞれ突条をなして形成される。このため、一対の突起部３１は、端子１９の軸を挟むように互いに略平行に配置される。また、各突起部３１は、フランジ部２９と連なり導電性を有しており、地面側に向かって先細るＶ字状に形成される。なお、図１に示すフランジ部２９は、突起部３１をフランジ部２９の先端側から地面側に向かって突出させているが、突起部３１はフランジ部２９の先端側から本体部２２の軸寄りに設けられていてもよい。また、図１の突起部３１の断面形状は、Ｖ字状に限られるものではない。地面側に向かって突出する形状であればよい。 Further, the flange portion 29 has a pair of projecting portions 31 (first projecting portions) projecting toward the side opposite to the projecting direction of the terminal 19, that is, toward the ground side. These protrusions 31 are formed by forming protrusions on two opposite sides of the four sides of the flange portion 29 formed in a rectangular shape in plan view. For this reason, the pair of protrusions 31 are arranged substantially parallel to each other so as to sandwich the axis of the terminal 19. Each projection 31 is continuous with the flange 29 and has conductivity, and is formed in a V shape that tapers toward the ground. The flange portion 29 shown in FIG. 1 has a protruding portion 31 protruding from the distal end side of the flange portion 29 toward the ground side. However, the protruding portion 31 is closer to the axis of the main body portion 22 from the distal end side of the flange portion 29. May be provided. Moreover, the cross-sectional shape of the protrusion part 31 of FIG. 1 is not restricted to V shape. Any shape that projects toward the ground side may be used.
　一方、フロアパネル１１は、開口２５の周縁より垂下する一対の突起部３３（第２の突起部）を有している。この突起部３３は、略矩形の開口２５周縁から垂下する板形状であり、向かい合う突起部３３は、互いに略平行な位置にある。これらの向かい合う突起部３３の間には、シールドシェル２１のフランジ部２９の幅寸法（図１の左右方向の最大寸法）よりも大きい隙間が設定されている。各突起部３３は、それぞれフロアパネル１１と連なり導電性を有している。また、各突起部３３は、それぞれの下端部において、他方の突起部３３へ向かって、該突起部３３に対して略直角に延びる延出部３５を有している。すなわち、各突起部３３は、全体としてＬ字状又は鉤形に形成される。 On the other hand, the floor panel 11 has a pair of protrusions 33 (second protrusions) depending from the periphery of the opening 25. The protrusion 33 has a plate shape that hangs down from the periphery of the substantially rectangular opening 25, and the protrusions 33 that face each other are substantially parallel to each other. A gap larger than the width dimension of the flange portion 29 of the shield shell 21 (the maximum dimension in the left-right direction in FIG. 1) is set between the projecting portions 33 facing each other. Each protrusion 33 is connected to the floor panel 11 and has conductivity. In addition, each protrusion 33 has an extension 35 extending substantially perpendicular to the protrusion 33 toward the other protrusion 33 at the lower end of each protrusion 33. That is, each protrusion 33 is formed in an L shape or a bowl shape as a whole.
　各延出部３５の上面には、それぞれシールドシェル２１の突起部３１がスライドするスライド面３７が形成される。このスライド面３７は、フロアパネル１１の前後方向（図５の左右方向）にわたって直線状に設けられる。また、各突起部３３がそれぞれスライド面３７と当接することにより、シールドシェル２１は、突起部３３を介してフロアパネル１１に支承されるようになっている。 A slide surface 37 on which the protruding portion 31 of the shield shell 21 slides is formed on the upper surface of each extending portion 35. The slide surface 37 is provided in a straight line over the front-rear direction of the floor panel 11 (the left-right direction in FIG. 5). In addition, the shield shell 21 is supported on the floor panel 11 via the projection 33 by the projection 33 contacting the slide surface 37.
　次に、図２Ａから図２Ｃに基づいて、シールドシェル２１をフロアパネル１１の床下面に固定する手順を説明する。まず、図２Ａに示すように、コネクタ１７が収容されたシールドシェル２１を用意する。このシールドシェル２１は、開口２３からコネクタ１７の端子１９が上方に突出され、貫通孔２７からワイヤーハーネス１３が水平方向に抜き出されている。なお、フロアパネル１１の上方には、接続相手を収容した端子台３９が設けられている。 Next, a procedure for fixing the shield shell 21 to the lower surface of the floor panel 11 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2A to 2C. First, as shown in FIG. 2A, a shield shell 21 in which the connector 17 is accommodated is prepared. In the shield shell 21, the terminal 19 of the connector 17 protrudes upward from the opening 23, and the wire harness 13 is extracted from the through hole 27 in the horizontal direction. A terminal block 39 that accommodates a connection partner is provided above the floor panel 11.
　続いて、図２Ｂに示すように、シールドシェル２１を矢印の方向に移動してフロアパネル１１に近づけ、開口２５に端子１９を挿入する。ここで、図２Ｂの下に、端子１９と接続相手４１を真上から見たときの模式図を示す。接続相手４１は、一対の弾性部材４２を有している。一対の弾性部材４２の間を移動する端子１９は、これらの弾性部材４２に押し付けられることで、接続相手４１と接続されるようになっている。図２Ｂでは、端子１９と接続相手４１が接続される前の状態を示す。 Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 2B, the shield shell 21 is moved in the direction of the arrow to approach the floor panel 11, and the terminal 19 is inserted into the opening 25. Here, a schematic diagram when the terminal 19 and the connection partner 41 are viewed from directly above is shown below FIG. 2B. The connection partner 41 has a pair of elastic members 42. The terminal 19 that moves between the pair of elastic members 42 is connected to the connection partner 41 by being pressed against the elastic members 42. FIG. 2B shows a state before the terminal 19 and the connection partner 41 are connected.
　次に、図２Ｃに示すように、フランジ部２９の一対の突起部３１をそれぞれ突起部３３のスライド面３７と当接させ、このレール状のスライド面３７に沿って矢印の方向へ直線状にスライドさせる。これにより、シールドシェル２１は、一対の突起部３３を介してフロアパネル１１に支えられた状態で、一対の突起部３１がスライド面３７に沿ってスライドする。また、各突起部３１のスライドに伴って、端子１９も開口２３内を移動する。各突起部３１は、スライド面３７の設定位置（固定位置）に到達すると、図２Ｃの下に示すように、端子１９が接続相手４１と接続される。そして、フランジ部２９をボルトでフロアパネル１１と締結することにより、シールドシェル２１が床下面１５と固定され、コネクタ１７が床下面１５に固定（保持）される。 Next, as shown in FIG. 2C, the pair of protrusions 31 of the flange portion 29 are brought into contact with the slide surface 37 of the protrusion 33, respectively, and linearly extend in the direction of the arrow along the rail-shaped slide surface 37. Slide. As a result, the shield shell 21 is supported by the floor panel 11 via the pair of protrusions 33, and the pair of protrusions 31 slide along the slide surface 37. Further, the terminal 19 also moves in the opening 23 as the projections 31 slide. When each projection 31 reaches the set position (fixed position) of the slide surface 37, the terminal 19 is connected to the connection partner 41 as shown in the lower part of FIG. 2C. Then, by fastening the flange portion 29 to the floor panel 11 with bolts, the shield shell 21 is fixed to the floor lower surface 15 and the connector 17 is fixed (held) to the floor lower surface 15.
　なお、図２Ｃでは、各突起部３１がスライド面３７の設定位置に到達した時点で、端子１９と接続相手４１が接続されるようになっているが、これに限られるものではなく、端子１９は、各突起部３１が設定位置に到達するまでに、接続相手４１と接続されていてもよい。 In FIG. 2C, the terminal 19 and the connection partner 41 are connected when each protrusion 31 reaches the set position of the slide surface 37, but the present invention is not limited to this. May be connected to the connection partner 41 before each projection 31 reaches the set position.
　本実施形態によれば、シールドシェル２１を床下面１５に固定する際に、シールドシェル２１をスライド面３７で支えた状態で、床下面１５の固定位置にセットすることができるから、作業者はシールドシェル２１を支える必要がない。したがって、シールドシェル２１を床下面１５に固定する際に、両手でボルト等の締結作業を行うことができるから、作業効率を高めることができる。 According to the present embodiment, when the shield shell 21 is fixed to the floor lower surface 15, the shield shell 21 can be set at the fixed position of the floor lower surface 15 while being supported by the slide surface 37. There is no need to support the shield shell 21. Therefore, when the shield shell 21 is fixed to the floor lower surface 15, a fastening operation such as a bolt can be performed with both hands, so that the work efficiency can be increased.
　また、スライド面３７は、一対の突起部３１の先端部がスライドする際に、突起部３１に押し付けられ、摩耗によって塗装が剥離する。これにより、シールドシェル２１は、塗装面が介在することなく、スライド面３７と接触されるから、突起部３３を介してフロアパネル１１と導通させることができ、シールド性を高めることができる。また、図１の突起部３１は、断面がＶ字状に形成されるため、スライド面３７の塗装をより確実に剥離することができる。 Also, the slide surface 37 is pressed against the protrusion 31 when the tip ends of the pair of protrusions 31 slide, and the paint peels off due to wear. Thereby, since the shield shell 21 is brought into contact with the slide surface 37 without any paint surface interposed therebetween, the shield shell 21 can be electrically connected to the floor panel 11 via the protrusion 33, and the shielding property can be improved. 1 has a V-shaped cross section, the coating of the slide surface 37 can be more reliably peeled off.
　なお、図２Ａから図２Ｃの例では、シールドシェル２１をスライドさせたときに、開口２５の一部が開放された状態となっているが、フランジ部２９の大きさや形状を適宜設定することにより、スライド後において、開口２５を完全に封止することができる。 2A to 2C, when the shield shell 21 is slid, a part of the opening 25 is open, but by appropriately setting the size and shape of the flange portion 29 After the slide, the opening 25 can be completely sealed.
　次に、本発明を適用してなるコネクタの固定構造及び固定方法の他の実施形態について図面を参照して説明する。なお、本実施形態は、基本的に上記の実施形態と同じであるため、異なる点を中心に説明し、同一の構成については、同一の符号を付して説明を省略する。上記の実施形態では、スライド面に沿ってシールドシェルを直線方向に移動させているが、本実施形態では、シールドシェルを軸回りに回転させている点が異なっている。 Next, another embodiment of the connector fixing structure and fixing method to which the present invention is applied will be described with reference to the drawings. Since the present embodiment is basically the same as the above-described embodiment, different points will be mainly described, and the same components will be denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof will be omitted. In the above embodiment, the shield shell is moved in the linear direction along the slide surface. However, the present embodiment is different in that the shield shell is rotated around the axis.
　図３Ａに示すように、本実施形態のシールドシェル５１は、複数の円筒体を互いに同軸に積み上げて形成され、これらの回転体はそれぞれ軸周りに独立して回転可能になっている。すなわち、シールドシェル５１は、ワイヤーハーネス１３の貫通孔２７を有する本体部５３と、この本体部５３と同軸に形成され、本体部５３と独立して、相対的に軸回りに回転する回転部５５を有している。回転部５５は、その上端部にフランジ部２９が一体的に形成される。コネクタの端子１９は、回転部５５の開口２３から回転部５５の軸に沿って突出している。 As shown in FIG. 3A, the shield shell 51 of the present embodiment is formed by coaxially stacking a plurality of cylindrical bodies, and these rotary bodies can rotate independently about their axes. That is, the shield shell 51 has a main body 53 having a through-hole 27 of the wire harness 13 and a rotating part 55 that is formed coaxially with the main body 53 and rotates about an axis relatively independently of the main body 53. have. The rotating portion 55 is integrally formed with a flange portion 29 at the upper end portion thereof. The terminal 19 of the connector protrudes from the opening 23 of the rotating part 55 along the axis of the rotating part 55.
　フランジ部２９は、端子１９の突出方向に突出する４本の突起部５７（第１の突起部）を有している。各突起部５７は、フランジ部２９と連なり導電性を有しており、回転部５５の軸、つまり端子１９の軸を中心とする周方向に互いに離間して設けられ、それぞれの先端部には、軸と離れる方向へ延出する延出部５９（第１の延出部）を有している。 The flange portion 29 has four protruding portions 57 (first protruding portions) protruding in the protruding direction of the terminal 19. Each protrusion 57 is connected to the flange 29 and has conductivity, and is provided apart from each other in the circumferential direction around the axis of the rotating part 55, that is, the axis of the terminal 19. And an extending portion 59 (first extending portion) extending in a direction away from the shaft.
　一方、フロアパネル１１は、フロアパネル１１から垂下する４本の突起部６１（第２の突起部）を有している。各突起部６１は、それぞれ軸方向と直交する方向の断面が、図４に示されるように円弧状に形成され、４つの突起部６１が、全体として円筒状に形成されるように、周方向に互いに離間させて配置されている。また、各突起部６１はそれぞれ、その先端に軸に向かって延出する延出部６３（第２の延出部）を有している。隣り合う延出部６３の周方向の隙間は、延出部５９を端子１９の軸方向にそれぞれ挿入可能に形成される。延出部６３のフロアパネル１１と対向する側の面には、延出部５９がスライドするスライド面６５が形成される。 On the other hand, the floor panel 11 has four protrusions 61 (second protrusions) depending from the floor panel 11. Each protrusion 61 has a circumferential direction so that the cross section in the direction orthogonal to the axial direction is formed in an arc shape as shown in FIG. 4 and the four protrusions 61 are formed in a cylindrical shape as a whole. Are spaced apart from each other. Each projection 61 has an extension 63 (second extension) extending toward the axis at the tip thereof. The gaps in the circumferential direction between adjacent extending portions 63 are formed so that the extending portions 59 can be inserted in the axial direction of the terminals 19, respectively. A slide surface 65 on which the extension portion 59 slides is formed on the surface of the extension portion 63 on the side facing the floor panel 11.
　次に、図３Ａから図４に基づいて、シールドシェル５１をフロアパネル１１の床下面１５に固定する手順を説明する。なお、図４は、突起部６１と延出部５９をフロアパネル１１からみたときの上面図を表している。まず、図３Ａに示すように、コネクタ１７が収容されたシールドシェル５１を用意する。フロアパネル１１には、円形の開口６７が形成される。また、フロアパネル１１の上方には、端子台６９が設けられ、端子台６９には、接続相手が開口６７と同軸上に保持される。 Next, a procedure for fixing the shield shell 51 to the floor lower surface 15 of the floor panel 11 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3A to 4. FIG. 4 shows a top view when the protrusion 61 and the extension 59 are viewed from the floor panel 11. First, as shown in FIG. 3A, a shield shell 51 in which the connector 17 is accommodated is prepared. A circular opening 67 is formed in the floor panel 11. Further, a terminal block 69 is provided above the floor panel 11, and a connection partner is held coaxially with the opening 67 on the terminal block 69.
　続いて、図３Ｂに示すように、シールドシェル５１を矢印の方向に移動してフロアパネル１１に近づけ、図４の点線で示すように、４つの延出部５９をそれぞれ隣り合う延出部６３の隙間に沿って挿入する。これにより、端子１９の先端部は、開口６７を通じて端子台６９の接続相手と同軸上に回転可能に接続される。つまり、４本の延出部５９と４本の延出部６３は、互いに同軸上に配置される。そして、回転部５５を少しだけ回転させて、延出部５９を延出部６３のスライド面６５と当接させることにより、シールドシェル５１が突起部６１に支承された状態となる。 Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 3B, the shield shell 51 is moved in the direction of the arrow so as to approach the floor panel 11, and as shown by the dotted line in FIG. Insert along the gap. Thereby, the front-end | tip part of the terminal 19 is rotatably connected to the connection partner of the terminal block 69 through the opening 67 coaxially. That is, the four extending portions 59 and the four extending portions 63 are arranged coaxially with each other. Then, the shield 55 is supported by the protrusion 61 by rotating the rotating portion 55 slightly and bringing the extending portion 59 into contact with the slide surface 65 of the extending portion 63.
　次に、図３Ｃに示すように、この状態から回転部５５をさらに同じ回転方向に回転させる。ここで、各スライド面６５は、端子１９と接続相手が接続された状態で、延出部５９を端子１９の軸周りに回転させたときに、延出部５９がスライドするように形成されている。このため、延出部５９は、回転部５５を回転させることにより、スライド面６５と当接しながらスライド面６５に沿って移動する。すなわち、図４に示すように、延出部５９は、点線の位置からスライド面６５に沿って矢印の方向にスライドして回転移動し、実線の設定位置（固定位置）まで移動する。 Next, as shown in FIG. 3C, the rotating part 55 is further rotated in the same rotational direction from this state. Here, each slide surface 65 is formed such that the extension portion 59 slides when the extension portion 59 is rotated around the axis of the terminal 19 in a state where the terminal 19 and the connection partner are connected. Yes. For this reason, the extension part 59 moves along the slide surface 65 while contacting the slide surface 65 by rotating the rotation part 55. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the extending portion 59 slides and rotates in the direction of the arrow along the slide surface 65 from the position of the dotted line, and moves to the set position (fixed position) of the solid line.
　このように構成しても、シールドシェル５１を床下面１５に固定する際に、シールドシェル５１をスライド面６５で支えながら固定位置にセットすることができるため、作業者は、シールドシェル５１を支える必要がなくなる。このため、シールドシェル５１を床下面１５に固定する際に、両手でボルト等の締結作業を行うことができ、作業効率を高めることができる。また、スライド面６５に沿って延出部５９をスライドさせることにより、スライド面６５の塗装を剥離することができるから、上述した実施形態と同様の原理によって、シールドシェル５１のシールド性を高めることができる。 Even in this configuration, when the shield shell 51 is fixed to the floor lower surface 15, the shield shell 51 can be set at a fixed position while being supported by the slide surface 65, so that the operator supports the shield shell 51. There is no need. For this reason, when fixing the shield shell 51 to the floor lower surface 15, a fastening operation | work with a volt | bolt etc. can be performed with both hands, and work efficiency can be improved. In addition, since the paint on the slide surface 65 can be peeled off by sliding the extending portion 59 along the slide surface 65, the shielding performance of the shield shell 51 is improved by the same principle as in the above-described embodiment. Can do.
　なお、本実施形態の延出部５９においても、前述したフランジ部２９と同様に、スライド面６５と対向する面には、例えば、延出部５９の移動方向に沿って延在する単数又は複数の突条（例えば断面Ｖ字状）を設けることにより、スライド面６５の塗装を剥離し易くすることができる。 In addition, also in the extension part 59 of this embodiment, the surface which opposes the slide surface 65 similarly to the flange part 29 mentioned above, for example, the single or several extended along the moving direction of the extension part 59 is included. By providing the protrusion (for example, V-shaped cross section), it is possible to easily peel off the coating on the slide surface 65.
