A configuration in which the terminal gripping portions are arranged in a line, and a configuration in which the terminal gripping portions are shifted in the first direction so as not to be aligned.
同様に、上述の前記第一方向に所定の間隔を隔てて複数の前記端子把持部が配置されたとは、前記第二把持部群を構成する前記端子把持部の主面が、第一方向に沿って一直線上に並ぶように配置された構成や、それぞれの前記端子把持部を一直線上に並ばないように前記第二方向にずらして配置させた構成を含む。

And a configuration in which the respective terminal gripping portions are shifted in the second direction so as not to be aligned in a straight line.
この発明により、前記リレー端子を把持する把持力を向上させるとともに、車両の振動などによるリレー端子の接触不良を抑制できる。
詳述すると、前記第一把持部群のうち前記第二方向の中央部分に配置された前記端子把持部、及び、前記第二把持部群のうち前記第一把持部群における前記第二方向の中央部分に配置された前記端子把持部の少なくとも一方に前記強把持部が配置されているため、すなわち、前記リレー取付部の中央部分に前記強把持部が配置されているため、前記リレー取付部全体が前記リレー端子を把持する把持力を向上させることができる。 According to the present invention, the gripping force for gripping the relay terminal can be improved, and contact failure of the relay terminal due to vehicle vibration or the like can be suppressed.
More specifically, the terminal gripping portion disposed at the center portion in the second direction in the first gripping portion group, and the second direction in the first gripping portion group in the second gripping portion group. Since the strong gripping portion is disposed in at least one of the terminal gripping portions disposed in the central portion, that is, since the strong gripping portion is disposed in the central portion of the relay mounting portion, the relay mounting portion The gripping force for gripping the relay terminal as a whole can be improved.
詳述すると、前記第一把持部群のうち前記第二方向の中央部分に配置された前記端子把持部、及び、前記第二把持部群のうち前記第一把持部群における前記第二方向の中央部分に配置された前記端子把持部の少なくとも一方に前記強把持部が配置されているため、すなわち、前記リレー取付部の中央部分に前記強把持部が配置されているため、前記リレー取付部全体が前記リレー端子を把持する把持力を向上させることができる。 According to the present invention, the gripping force for gripping the relay terminal can be improved, and contact failure of the relay terminal due to vehicle vibration or the like can be suppressed.
More specifically, the terminal gripping portion disposed at the center portion in the second direction in the first gripping portion group, and the second direction in the first gripping portion group in the second gripping portion group.

In addition, compared with the case where the relay terminal gripped by the terminal gripping portion disposed on the outside serves as a pivot shaft, the relay terminal gripped by the strong grip portion and serving as a pivot shaft, Since the distance from the relay terminal gripped by the terminal gripping portion is reduced, the pivot distance at which the relay terminal gripped by the other terminal gripping portion pivots due to vehicle vibration can be shortened. . Therefore, the relay can be stably held by the relay mounting portion, and poor contact between the relay terminal and the terminal holding portion due to vibration can be suppressed.
この発明の態様として、前記強把持部における挟持片が、他の前記端子把持部における挟持片よりも短く構成されてもよい。

また、仮に前記強把持部における挟持片を短くすることで前記強把持部における当接部の先端位置を他の前記端子把持部における当接部の先端位置よりも低くなるようにした場合には、前記リレー端子が他の前記端子把持部と当接するタイミングと、前記リレー端子が前記強把持部と当接するタイミングとをずらすことができるため、全体の保持力を向上させながら、前記リレーを前記リレー取付部に取り付けるのに必要な挿入力を低減させることができる。
Also, if the tip of the contact portion in the strong gripping portion is made lower than the tip position of the contact portion in the other terminal gripping portion by shortening the clamping piece in the strong gripping portion The timing at which the relay terminal comes into contact with the other terminal gripping portion and the timing at which the relay terminal comes into contact with the strong gripping portion can be shifted, so that the relay can be The insertion force required for mounting on the relay mounting portion can be reduced.
またこの発明の態様として、 前記強把持部における当接部が、他の前記端子把持部において対応する当接部よりも、前記リレー端子の挿入方向に沿って長く構成されてもよい。

As shown in FIG. 4A, the first
これに対して第二音叉端子40bは、基本構成は音叉端子40(第一音叉端子40a)と同じであるが、図4(a)及び図4(b)に示すように、細部において構成が異なる。
On the other hand, the basic structure of the second tuning fork terminal 40b is the same as that of the tuning fork terminal 40 (first tuning fork terminal 40a). However, as shown in FIGS. Different.
詳述すると、第二音叉端子40bは、基端部41と、基端部41の幅方向両端から上方に突出する一対の挟持片42b,42bと、挟持片42b,42bの上端から対向する挟持片42b,42bに向けて突出する一対の当接部43b,43bと、リード部44,44とで一体に構成されている。
More specifically, the second tuning fork terminal 40b includes a base end portion 41, a pair of sandwiching pieces 42b and 42b projecting upward from both ends in the width direction of the base end portion 41, and a sandwiching portion facing from the upper ends of the sandwiching pieces 42b and 42b. A pair of contact portions 43b and 43b projecting toward the pieces 42b and 42b and lead portions 44 and 44 are integrally formed.
挟持片42b,42bは、基端部41と同じ板厚を有する金属片であり、湾曲凹部45と連続するように基端部41の幅方向両端部から上方に立設している。この挟持片42b,42bは、第一音叉端子40aの挟持片42a,42aと比べて、高さ方向Hの長さが短くなるように構成されている。なお、挟持片42b,42bと湾曲凹部45との連結部分は湾曲しており、挟持片42b,42bと湾曲凹部45とは滑らかに連結している。
The sandwiching pieces 42 b and 42 b are metal pieces having the same plate thickness as the base end portion 41, and are erected upward from both ends in the width direction of the base end portion 41 so as to be continuous with the curved recess 45. The sandwiching pieces 42b and 42b are configured such that the length in the height direction H is shorter than the sandwiching pieces 42a and 42a of the first tuning fork terminal 40a. In addition, the connection part of clamping piece 42b, 42b and the curved recessed part 45 is curving, and the clamping piece 42b, 42b and the curved recessed part 45 are connected smoothly.
当接部43b,43bは、挟持片42b,42bの上端から上方及び幅方向中央に向けて突出する突出部であり、当接部43b,43b同士の間隔が後述するリレー端子32の板厚よりもわずかに狭くなるように構成されている。
また、当接部43b,43bの高さ方向Hに対する長さは、図4(a)及び図4(b)に示すように、当接部43a,43aの高さ方向Hに対する長さよりも長くなるように構成されている。 The contact portions 43b and 43b are projecting portions that protrude upward and toward the center in the width direction from the upper ends of the sandwiching pieces 42b and 42b, and the distance between the contact portions 43b and 43b is greater than the plate thickness of the relay terminal 32 described later. Is configured to be slightly narrower.
Further, the length of the contact portions 43b and 43b with respect to the height direction H is longer than the length of the contact portions 43a and 43a with respect to the height direction H as shown in FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b). It is comprised so that it may become.
また、当接部43b,43bの高さ方向Hに対する長さは、図4(a)及び図4(b)に示すように、当接部43a,43aの高さ方向Hに対する長さよりも長くなるように構成されている。 The
Further, the length of the
さらにまた、当接部43b,43bの幅方向の中央側上端部分には、幅方向中央に向かうに伴って下方側に傾斜するテーパ面46bが形成されている。このテーパ面46bは、図4(a)及び図4(b)に示すように、テーパ面46aよりも傾斜がなだらかに構成されている。
Furthermore, a taper surface 46b that is inclined downward as it goes toward the center in the width direction is formed at the upper end portion on the center side in the width direction of the contact portions 43b and 43b. As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the tapered surface 46b has a gentler slope than the tapered surface 46a.
このように構成された第二音叉端子40bは、当接部43b,43bの高さ方向Hの長さが当接部43a,43aと比べて長いため、対向する当接部43b,43bの面積が、当接部43a,43aの面積よりも大きくなる。
Since the second tuning fork terminal 40b configured in this way has a length in the height direction H of the contact portions 43b and 43b is longer than that of the contact portions 43a and 43a, the area of the contact portions 43b and 43b facing each other. However, it becomes larger than the area of contact part 43a, 43a.
リレー取付部20に取り付けるリレー30は、図2及び図5に示すように、電気回路(図示省略)が内蔵されたリレー本体31と、リレー本体31に内蔵された電気回路と電気的に接続されるとともに、リレー本体31の底面から下方に向けて突出するリレー端子32とで構成されている。
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, the relay 30 attached to the relay attachment portion 20 is electrically connected to a relay main body 31 containing an electric circuit (not shown) and an electric circuit built in the relay main body 31. And a relay terminal 32 that protrudes downward from the bottom surface of the relay body 31.
リレー端子32は、所定の板厚を有する板状の端子である。このリレー端子32は、リレー取付部20に配置された音叉端子40(第一音叉端子40a、第二音叉端子40b)と対応する位置において、主面の向きが音叉端子40の主面の向きと直交するように配置されている(図5参照)。
The relay terminal 32 is a plate-like terminal having a predetermined plate thickness. The relay terminal 32 has a main surface orientation different from that of the tuning fork terminal 40 at a position corresponding to the tuning fork terminal 40 (first tuning fork terminal 40a, second tuning fork terminal 40b) disposed in the relay mounting portion 20. It arrange | positions so that it may orthogonally cross (refer FIG. 5).
このように構成されたリレー取付部20は電気接続箱本体10の内部に備えられるとともに、上方からリレー30を取り付けることで、回路基板21に備えられた電気回路とリレー本体31の内部に備えた電気回路とを電気的に接続することができる。以下、リレー取付部20に対するリレー30の取り付けについて、図6に基づいて簡単に説明する。
The relay mounting portion 20 configured as described above is provided inside the electric junction box body 10 and is provided inside the relay circuit 31 and the electric circuit provided on the circuit board 21 by attaching the relay 30 from above. An electrical circuit can be electrically connected. Hereinafter, the attachment of the relay 30 to the relay attachment portion 20 will be briefly described with reference to FIG.
ここで、図6はリレー30をリレー取付部20に取り付ける取付け過程を表す説明図であり、図6(a)はリレー30をリレー取付部20に挿入した初期段階におけるリレー取付部20及びリレー30の側面図を示し、図6(b)はリレー30をリレー取付部20に組み付けた状態におけるリレー取付部20及びリレー30の側面図を示す。
Here, FIG. 6 is an explanatory view showing an attachment process for attaching the relay 30 to the relay attachment portion 20, and FIG. 6 (a) is an initial stage in which the relay 30 is inserted into the relay attachment portion 20. 6B is a side view of the relay mounting portion 20 and the relay 30 in a state where the relay 30 is assembled to the relay mounting portion 20.
リレー30をリレー取付部20に取り付けるためには、リレー本体31から下方に突出するリレー端子32が回路基板21から立設する音叉端子40と対向配置するようにリレー30をリレー取付部20の上方に配置し、下方に移動させる。
In order to mount the relay 30 on the relay mounting portion 20, the relay 30 is positioned above the relay mounting portion 20 so that the relay terminal 32 protruding downward from the relay body 31 faces the tuning fork terminal 40 erected from the circuit board 21. And move it down.
このとき、図6(a)に示すように、当接部43b,43bのリレー端子32との当接部分T2は、当接部43a,43aのリレー端子32との当接部分T1よりも下方側に配置されているため、先に第一音叉端子40aに対応するリレー端子32が、テーパ面46a,46aに案内されて、当接部43a,43aの間に配置される。その状態でリレー30を下方に押し込んで移動させることで、リレー端子32が当接部43a,43aの間に挿入される。
At this time, as shown in FIG. 6A, the contact portion T2 of the contact portions 43b and 43b with the relay terminal 32 is lower than the contact portion T1 of the contact portions 43a and 43a with the relay terminal 32. Therefore, the relay terminal 32 corresponding to the first tuning fork terminal 40a is first guided by the tapered surfaces 46a and 46a and is disposed between the contact portions 43a and 43a. In this state, the relay terminal 32 is inserted between the contact portions 43a and 43a by pushing and moving the relay 30 downward.
そして、リレー30を下方にさらに押し込んで移動させることで、当接部43b,43bに対応するリレー端子32が、当接部43b,43bの間に配置されて、当接部43b,43bの間に挿入されることとなる(図6(b)参照)。これにより、リレー30をリレー取付部20に取り付けることができる。
Then, by further pushing and moving the relay 30 downward, the relay terminal 32 corresponding to the contact portions 43b and 43b is arranged between the contact portions 43b and 43b, and between the contact portions 43b and 43b. (See FIG. 6B). Thereby, the relay 30 can be attached to the relay attachment part 20.
このように、リレー端子32が第一音叉端子40aと第二音叉端子40bに挿入されるタイミングが異なることとなるため、リレー30をリレー取付部20に押し込むために必要な挿入力を低減することができる。
Thus, since the timing at which the relay terminal 32 is inserted into the first tuning fork terminal 40a and the second tuning fork terminal 40b is different, the insertion force required to push the relay 30 into the relay mounting portion 20 is reduced. Can do.
特に第二音叉端子40bにおける当接部43b,43bの基端が、他の第一音叉端子40aにおける当接部43a,43aの基端よりも、高さ方向Hに沿って基端側(図6(b)中の下方側)に設けられることにより、第二音叉端子40bにおける挟持片42b,42bを短くできるため、たわみを少なくでき、簡単な構成で把持力を向上させることができる。
In particular, the base ends of the contact portions 43b and 43b in the second tuning fork terminal 40b are closer to the base end side in the height direction H than the base ends of the contact portions 43a and 43a in the other first tuning fork terminals 40a (see FIG. 6 (b), the clamping pieces 42b, 42b in the second tuning fork terminal 40b can be shortened, so that the deflection can be reduced and the gripping force can be improved with a simple configuration.
なお、音叉端子40の相対的な把持力の計測方法は、リレー端子32を当接部43,43の間に挿入した後に、リレー30を所定の速度(10~100mm/min)で挿入方向と反対方向に引っ張り、各音叉端子40にリレー端子32を組み付けた状態を解除するのに必要な力を計測することにより測定している。
The relative gripping force of the tuning fork terminal 40 is measured by inserting the relay terminal 32 between the contact portions 43 and 43 and then inserting the relay 30 at a predetermined speed (10 to 100 mm / min) in the insertion direction. Measurement is performed by pulling in the opposite direction and measuring the force required to release the state where the relay terminal 32 is assembled to each tuning fork terminal 40.
このように、リレー本体31と、リレー本体31から突出する複数(5つ)の板状のリレー端子32とで構成されたリレー30を組み付けて電気的に接続されるリレー取付部20は、リレー端子32を把持する複数(5つ)の音叉端子40(第一音叉端子40a、第二音叉端子40b)が備えられ、音叉端子40(第一音叉端子40a、第二音叉端子40b)は、基端側が連結するとともに、先端側が開口するように設けられた一対の挟持片42,42(挟持片42a,42a、挟持片42b,42b)と、挟持片42,42(挟持片42a,42a、挟持片42b,42b)の先端側において対向する挟持片42,42(挟持片42a,42a、挟持片42b,42b)に向けて突出し、リレー端子32と当接する当接部43,43(当接部43a,43a、当接部43b,43b)とで構成され、第一方向Fに対して向きが沿うとともに、第一方向Fと直交する第二方向Sに所定の間隔を隔てて複数(3つ)の第一音叉端子40aが配置された第一把持部群22と、第二方向Sに対して向きが沿うとともに、第一方向Fに所定の間隔を隔てて第一音叉端子40a及び第二音叉端子40bが配置された第二把持部群23とを構成し、第二把持部群23のうち第一把持部群22における第二方向Sの中央部分に配置された第二音叉端子40bが、第一音叉端子40aに比べて把持力が強固であることにより、リレー端子32を把持する把持力を向上させるとともに、車両の振動などによるリレー端子32の接触不良を抑制できる。
As described above, the relay mounting portion 20 assembled and electrically connected to the relay 30 composed of the relay main body 31 and a plurality (five) of plate-like relay terminals 32 protruding from the relay main body 31 is a relay. A plurality (five) of tuning fork terminals 40 (first tuning fork terminal 40a, second tuning fork terminal 40b) holding the terminal 32 are provided, and the tuning fork terminal 40 (first tuning fork terminal 40a, second tuning fork terminal 40b) is a base. A pair of clamping pieces 42 and 42 (clamping pieces 42a and 42a and clamping pieces 42b and 42b) provided so that the end sides are connected and the leading end side is opened, and clamping pieces 42 and 42 (clamping pieces 42a and 42a, clamping) The abutting portions 43, 43 projecting toward the sandwiching pieces 42, 42 (the sandwiching pieces 42a, 42a, the sandwiching pieces 42b, 42b) facing each other on the front end side of the pieces 42b, 42b) Part 43a, 43a, contact part 43b, 43b), the direction is along the first direction F, and a plurality (3) with a predetermined interval in the second direction S orthogonal to the first direction F. The first tuning fork terminal 40a and the first tuning fork terminal 40a and the first tuning fork terminal 40a and the first tuning fork terminal 40a are arranged at a predetermined interval in the first direction F. And a second tuning fork terminal 40b disposed in a central portion of the first gripping portion group 22 in the second direction S of the second gripping portion group 23. However, since the gripping force is stronger than that of the first tuning fork terminal 40a, the gripping force for gripping the relay terminal 32 can be improved, and the contact failure of the relay terminal 32 due to the vibration of the vehicle can be suppressed.
詳述すると、第二把持部群23のうち第一把持部群22における第二方向Sの中央部分に第二音叉端子40bが配置されているため、すなわち、リレー取付部20の中央部分に第二音叉端子40bが配置されているため、リレー取付部20全体がリレー端子32を把持する把持力を向上させることができる。
More specifically, since the second tuning fork terminal 40b is arranged at the central portion in the second direction S of the first gripping portion group 22 in the second gripping portion group 23, that is, at the central portion of the relay mounting portion 20, Since the two tuning fork terminal 40b is disposed, the gripping force with which the entire relay mounting portion 20 grips the relay terminal 32 can be improved.
また、第二音叉端子40bがリレー30の中央部分に配置されたリレー端子32を強固に把持することにより、リレー取付部20を搭載した車両などが振動した場合であっても、振動による枢動の枢動軸を第二音叉端子40bとの接触部位とすることができるため、振動による枢動を抑制することができる。
Further, the second tuning fork terminal 40b firmly holds the relay terminal 32 disposed in the center portion of the relay 30, so that even if the vehicle mounted with the relay mounting portion 20 vibrates, the pivoting due to the vibration Since the pivot shaft can be a contact portion with the second tuning fork terminal 40b, the pivot due to vibration can be suppressed.
加えて、枢動軸が第一音叉端子40aとリレー端子32との当接部分T1である場合と比較して、枢動軸となるリレー端子32(すなわち第二音叉端子40bに把持されているリレー端子32)と、第一音叉端子40aに把持されているリレー端子32との距離を近くすることができる。このため第一音叉端子40aに把持されているリレー端子32が、車両の振動によって枢動する枢動距離を短くすることができる。したがって、リレー30を安定してリレー取付部20に把持させることができるとともに、振動によるリレー端子32と第一音叉端子40aとの接触不良を抑制できる。
In addition, compared to the case where the pivot shaft is the contact portion T1 between the first tuning fork terminal 40a and the relay terminal 32, the relay terminal 32 (that is, the second tuning fork terminal 40b) that is the pivot shaft is gripped. The distance between the relay terminal 32) and the relay terminal 32 held by the first tuning fork terminal 40a can be reduced. For this reason, it is possible to shorten the pivot distance at which the relay terminal 32 held by the first tuning fork terminal 40a pivots due to the vibration of the vehicle. Therefore, the relay 30 can be stably held by the relay mounting portion 20, and contact failure between the relay terminal 32 and the first tuning fork terminal 40a due to vibration can be suppressed.
また、第二音叉端子40bにおける挟持片42b,42bが、第一音叉端子40aにおける挟持片42a,42aよりも短く構成されることにより、第二音叉端子40bのたわみが少なくでき、第二音叉端子40bの把持力を第一音叉端子40aよりも強固にすることができる。これにより、リレー端子32を把持する把持力を向上させることができ、リレー取付部20にリレー30を安定して把持させることができる。
Further, since the clamping pieces 42b, 42b in the second tuning fork terminal 40b are configured to be shorter than the clamping pieces 42a, 42a in the first tuning fork terminal 40a, the deflection of the second tuning fork terminal 40b can be reduced. The gripping force of 40b can be made stronger than the first tuning fork terminal 40a. Thereby, the gripping force for gripping the relay terminal 32 can be improved, and the relay 30 can be stably gripped by the relay mounting portion 20.
また、本実施形態のように、挟持片42b,42bを短くすることにより第二音叉端子40bにおける当接部43b,43bの先端位置を第一音叉端子40aにおける当接部43a,43aの先端位置よりも低くすることで、リレー端子32が第一音叉端子40aと当接するタイミングと、第二音叉端子40bと当接するタイミングとをずらすことができるため、全体の保持力を向上させながら、リレー30をリレー取付部20に取り付けるために必要な挿入力を低減させることができる。
Further, as in this embodiment, by shortening the clamping pieces 42b, 42b, the tip positions of the contact portions 43b, 43b in the second tuning fork terminal 40b are changed to the tip positions of the contact portions 43a, 43a in the first tuning fork terminal 40a. Since the timing at which the relay terminal 32 abuts on the first tuning fork terminal 40a and the timing at which the relay terminal 32 abuts on the second tuning fork terminal 40b can be shifted, the relay 30 is improved while improving the overall holding force. Can be reduced in the insertion force required for mounting the relay mounting portion 20 on the relay mounting portion 20.
また、第二音叉端子40bにおける当接部43b,43bは、リレー端子32の挿入方向に沿った面の面積が、第一音叉端子40aにおいて対応する面積よりも広く構成されることにより、第二音叉端子40bの把持力を向上させるとともに、リレー端子32と第二音叉端子40bとの電気伝導性を向上させることができる。
Further, the contact portions 43b and 43b of the second tuning fork terminal 40b are configured such that the area of the surface along the insertion direction of the relay terminal 32 is wider than the corresponding area of the first tuning fork terminal 40a. The gripping force of the tuning fork terminal 40b can be improved, and the electrical conductivity between the relay terminal 32 and the second tuning fork terminal 40b can be improved.
さらにまた、当接部43b,43bとリレー端子32との当接面積を大きくすることができるため、第二音叉端子40bとリレー端子32との当接部分が枢動軸として機能することを抑制できるとともに、仮に振動により枢動したとしても、当接部43b,43bがリレー端子32の枢動を抑制できる。したがって、第一音叉端子40aに把持されリレー端子32の接触不良をより確実に抑制できる。
Furthermore, since the contact area between the contact portions 43b and 43b and the relay terminal 32 can be increased, the contact portion between the second tuning fork terminal 40b and the relay terminal 32 is prevented from functioning as a pivot shaft. In addition, the contact portions 43b and 43b can suppress the pivot of the relay terminal 32 even if it pivots due to vibration. Therefore, the contact failure of the relay terminal 32 held by the first tuning fork terminal 40a can be more reliably suppressed.
また、当接部43,43(当接部43a,43a、当接部43b,43b)におけるリレー端子32の挿入方向の基端側に、対向する当接部43,43(当接部43a,43a、当接部43b,43b)に向けて傾斜するテーパ面46,46(テーパ面46a,46a、テーパ面46b,46b)が設けられ、第二音叉端子40bにおけるテーパ面46b,46bは、第一音叉端子40aにおけるテーパ面46a,46aよりも緩やかな傾斜で構成されることにより、リレー端子32を音叉端子40(第一音叉端子40a、第二音叉端子40b)に案内することができ、より確実にリレー30を取付けることができる。
Further, the abutting portions 43, 43 (abutting portions 43a, 43a, abutting portions 43a, 43a, abutting portions 43b, 43b) are opposed to the base end side in the insertion direction of the relay terminal 32. 43a and contact portions 43b, 43b) are provided with tapered surfaces 46, 46 (tapered surfaces 46a, 46a, tapered surfaces 46b, 46b). The tapered surfaces 46b, 46b of the second tuning fork terminal 40b are By being configured with a gentler slope than the tapered surfaces 46a, 46a of the one tuning fork terminal 40a, the relay terminal 32 can be guided to the tuning fork terminal 40 (first tuning fork terminal 40a, second tuning fork terminal 40b). The relay 30 can be securely attached.
また、第二音叉端子40bにおけるテーパ面46b,46bが、第一音叉端子40aにおけるテーパ面46a,46aよりも緩やかな傾斜面で構成されていることにより、第二音叉端子40bにおける当接部43b,43bの接触面積を増大させることができ、第二音叉端子40bの把持力を向上させることができる。
Further, since the tapered surfaces 46b, 46b of the second tuning fork terminal 40b are formed with inclined surfaces that are gentler than the tapered surfaces 46a, 46a of the first tuning fork terminal 40a, the contact portion 43b of the second tuning fork terminal 40b. , 43b can be increased, and the gripping force of the second tuning fork terminal 40b can be improved.
さらにまた、第二音叉端子40bは、第一把持部群22及び第二把持部群23のうち、所定の間隔を隔てて配置された音叉端子40の数が少ない側である第二把持部群23に設けられていることにより、音叉端子40の数が少ない第二方向Sの把持力が低下することを防止できるため、リレー取付部20全体として安定した把持力を有することができる。
Furthermore, the second tuning fork terminal 40b is a second gripping part group on the side of the first gripping part group 22 and the second gripping part group 23 where the number of tuning fork terminals 40 arranged at a predetermined interval is small. 23, since it is possible to prevent the gripping force in the second direction S with a small number of tuning fork terminals 40 from being lowered, the relay mounting portion 20 as a whole can have a stable gripping force.

例えば、本実施形態において、強把持部に対応する第二音叉端子40bは、高さ方向Hに対する挟持片42b,42bの長さが、挟持片42a,42aより短くなるように構成されるとともに、高さ方向Hに対する当接部43b,43bの長さが当接部43a,43aより長くなるように構成されているが、必ずしもこの構成である必要はなく、例えば、図7(b)及び図7(c)に示すような形状で構成してもよい。
For example, in the present embodiment, the second tuning fork terminal 40b corresponding to the strong gripping portion is configured such that the length of the sandwiching pieces 42b and 42b with respect to the height direction H is shorter than the sandwiching pieces 42a and 42a. Although the length of the abutting portions 43b and 43b with respect to the height direction H is configured to be longer than the abutting portions 43a and 43a, this configuration is not necessarily required. For example, FIG. 7B and FIG. You may comprise by the shape as shown to 7 (c).
ここで、図7は、第二音叉端子40bの他の実施形態を表す正面図を示す。詳述すると、図7(a)は参考のために示した第一音叉端子40aの正面図を示し、図7(b)は第二音叉端子40bの他の実施形態である強把持部40cの正面図を示し、図7(c)は第二音叉端子40bの他の実施形態である強把持部40dの正面図を示す。また、図7(d)及び図7(e)は他の実施形態おけるリレー取付部20の平面図を示す。
Here, FIG. 7 shows a front view showing another embodiment of the second tuning fork terminal 40b. Specifically, FIG. 7 (a) shows a front view of the first tuning fork terminal 40a shown for reference, and FIG. 7 (b) shows a strong gripping portion 40c which is another embodiment of the second tuning fork terminal 40b. A front view is shown and FIG.7 (c) shows the front view of the strong holding | grip part 40d which is other embodiment of the 2nd tuning fork terminal 40b. Moreover, FIG.7 (d) and FIG.7 (e) show the top view of the relay attachment part 20 in other embodiment.
例えば、第二音叉端子40bの代わりに、図7(b)に示すように、高さ方向Hに対する全長を短くするとともに、当接部43cの長さを長くする強把持部40cや、図7(c)に示すように、高さ方向Hに対する全体の長さ及び当接部43d、43dの長さを長くした強把持部40dとしてもよい。
For example, instead of the second tuning fork terminal 40b, as shown in FIG. 7B, the strong gripping portion 40c that shortens the entire length in the height direction H and lengthens the length of the contact portion 43c, or FIG. As shown in (c), it is good also as the strong holding | grip part 40d which lengthened the whole length with respect to the height direction H, and the length of the contact parts 43d and 43d.
また、中央部分に配置する第二音叉端子40bの高さ方向Hに対する長さをそのままとして、外側に配置する第一音叉端子40aの高さ方向Hに対する長さを第二音叉端子40bよりも短くする構成としてもよい。すなわち、第二音叉端子40bと第一音叉端子40aとの関係は絶対的なものでなく、相対的なものである。
Further, the length of the second tuning fork terminal 40b arranged at the center portion in the height direction H is left as it is, and the length of the first tuning fork terminal 40a arranged outside in the height direction H is shorter than that of the second tuning fork terminal 40b. It is good also as composition to do. That is, the relationship between the second tuning fork terminal 40b and the first tuning fork terminal 40a is not absolute but relative.
また、本実施形態において、第二音叉端子40bは第二把持部群23における第一把持部群22側に配置しているが、必ずしもこの位置に配置しなければならないわけでなく、例えば図7(d)に示すように、第一把持部群22の中央に第二音叉端子40bを配置してもよく、さらには、図7(e)のように、第一把持部群22の中央部分及び第二把持部群23の第一把持部群22側の位置に配置してもよい。
In the present embodiment, the second tuning fork terminal 40b is disposed on the first gripping portion group 22 side in the second gripping portion group 23. However, the second tuning fork terminal 40b does not necessarily have to be disposed at this position. As shown in FIG. 7D, the second tuning fork terminal 40b may be arranged in the center of the first gripping portion group 22, and further, as shown in FIG. And you may arrange | position in the position by the side of the 1st holding part group 22 of the 2nd holding part group 23. FIG.

In this embodiment, the relay 30 includes five relay terminals 32, and the relay mounting portion 20 includes the corresponding number of tuning fork terminals 40 (first tuning fork terminal 40a and second tuning fork terminal 40b). However, the relay 30 may have four relay terminals 32, and the number of tuning fork terminals 40 (first tuning fork terminal 40a, second tuning fork terminal 40b) may be matched accordingly. .
また、リレー端子32の配置位置も適宜設計に合わせて変更してもよい。この場合、当然に対応する音叉端子40(第一音叉端子40a、第二音叉端子40b)の配置位置も合わせて変更してもよい。なお、第二音叉端子40bはリレー取付部20の中央付近に配置される必要がある。
Also, the arrangement position of the relay terminal 32 may be changed according to the design as appropriate. In this case, naturally, the arrangement position of the corresponding tuning fork terminal 40 (first tuning fork terminal 40a, second tuning fork terminal 40b) may be changed together. The second tuning fork terminal 40b needs to be arranged near the center of the relay mounting portion 20.
さらにまた、本実施形態では、第一把持部群22を構成する音叉端子40は、第二方向Sに沿って並んで配列されているものの、中央の第一音叉端子40aが第一方向Fに対してずれて配置されているが、この第一音叉端子40aを一直線上に配置してもよいし、3つの第一音叉端子40aをそれぞれ第一方向Fに対してずらしてもよい。なお、音叉端子40の主面が第一方向Fに向いていれば、ずらす方向は問わない。
同様に、第二把持部群23を構成する第一音叉端子40a,第二音叉端子40bについても適宜その位置を変更してもよい。 Furthermore, in the present embodiment, thetuning fork terminals 40 constituting the first gripping portion group 22 are arranged side by side along the second direction S, but the central first tuning fork terminal 40a is arranged in the first direction F. The first tuning fork terminals 40a may be arranged on a straight line, or the three first tuning fork terminals 40a may be shifted with respect to the first direction F, respectively. In addition, as long as the main surface of the tuning fork terminal 40 faces the first direction F, the direction of shifting is not limited.
Similarly, the positions of the firsttuning fork terminal 40a and the second tuning fork terminal 40b constituting the second gripping portion group 23 may be appropriately changed.
