  • the fitting direction of the first and second connectors is a direction parallel to the rotation center axis when connecting the first member and the second member.
  • the operation direction of a fitting operation member should just be a direction which cross
  • the smaller the component in the fitting direction included in the operation direction the greater the function as a booster mechanism that reduces the operating force required for fitting.
  • the first connector 10 is a holding connector that holds the fitting operation member 40

  • the second connector may be a holding connector that holds the fitting operation member
  • the first connector may be an operated connector that is operated by the fitting operation member.
  • the actual movement of the fitting operation member is not only the relative movement in the operation direction with respect to the second connector, but also the movement in the fitting direction toward the first connector (in other words, the connector
  • the operation of the fitting operation member becomes complicated by the combined movement including the movement in which the second connector is detached from the holding member in the separation direction.
  • the first connector fixed to the first member is a holding connector
  • the actual movement of the fitting operation member is a simple movement including only the operation direction. There is an advantage that the operation of the member becomes easier.
  • an electrical connection device capable of efficiently performing electrical connection between members coupled to each other so that relative rotation is possible.
  • a first wiring member wired to the first member, and the rotation center axis so that the first member can be rotated relative to the first member about a predetermined rotation center axis.
  • An electrical connection device for electrical connection with a second wiring member wired in a second member coupled in a coupling direction along the first member, and connected to the first wiring member;
  • a first connector to be fixed, connected to the second wiring member, attached to the second member, and formed into the electrical connection by fitting with the first connector in a specific fitting direction.
  • a connector holding member connected to the second connector and the second member, wherein the first connector and the second connector are connected in the fitting direction in a state where the first member and the second member are connected.
  • the second connector at a position where it can face each other.
  • a connector holding member, and a fitting operation member held by the holding connector selected from the first connector and the second connector so as to be relatively movable in an operation direction intersecting the fitting direction. Prepare.

  • the operated connector on the opposite side of the holding connector of the first connector and the second connector is pulled toward the holding connector side along the fitting direction by moving relative to the holding connector.
  • a connector operating portion that allows the second connector to be detached from the connector holding member in the fitting direction.
  • the first member and the second member are coupled to each other in the coupling direction, and the first connector and the second connector are opposed to each other in the fitting direction.
  • the first connector and the second connector can be simply operated by simply moving the fitting operation member held by the holding connector, which is one of the connectors, relative to the holding connector in the operation direction crossing the fitting direction.
  • the fitting of each other and the removal of the second connector from the connector holding member can be performed simultaneously. That is, only by a simple operation of the fitting operation member, the electrical connection by fitting the first and second connectors and the relative relationship between the first member and the second member by detaching the second connector from the connector holding member. Both permissible rotations can be realized at the same time.
  • the fitting direction is a direction parallel to the rotation center axis. This facilitates the work of aligning the first connector and the second connector when the first member and the second member are connected, that is, the work of making the two connectors face each other in the fitting direction.
  • the operated connector has an operated portion that receives an operation by the connector operating portion, and the connector operating portion is moved along with the relative movement of the fitting operation member in the operation direction with respect to the holding connector. It is preferable to include an operation surface that is in contact with the operated portion and is inclined with respect to the operating direction so as to draw the operated portion toward the holding connector.
  • the operation surface can absorb the variation in the position of the operated portion and can realize the fitting between the first and second connectors and the detachment of the second connector from the connector holding member.
  • the holding connector may be either the first connector or the second connector, but the first connector fixed to the first member is the holding connector, that is, the fitting operation in the operation direction.
  • a connector that holds the fitting operation member so as to allow relative movement of the member is preferable. This means that compared to the case where the second connector that must be detached from the connector holding member is a holding connector, the actual movement of the fitting operation member is a simple movement whose direction matches the operation direction. Thereby, the operation of the fitting operation member can be made easier.
