In the connection device 10, if the direction intersecting (orthogonal) with both the thickness direction of the base plate 21 and the attachment / detachment direction of the connector 30 is defined as the “width direction”, it can be said that the first flange 242 extends outward in the width direction. . A fixing hole 243 is formed through the first flange 242 in a direction intersecting the protruding direction of the first flange 242. On the inner peripheral surface of the fixing hole 243, a screw thread into which a fastening member such as a bolt is screwed is formed.

　図２及び図３に示すように、コネクタ３０は、電線ＷＲに接続される電線側端子３１と、電線ＷＲ及び電線側端子３１を収容する第２ハウジング３２と、第２ハウジング３２を覆う第２シールドシェル３３と、第２ハウジング３２に装着されるキャップ３４と、を有する。 As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the connector 30 includes a wire side terminal 31 connected to the wire WR, a second housing 32 that houses the wire WR and the wire side terminal 31, and a second cover that covers the second housing 32. A shield shell 33 and a cap 34 attached to the second housing 32 are provided.
　電線側端子３１は、機器側端子２２と同様に、銅などの金属により形成される板状部材である。電線側端子３１の一端は第２ハウジング３２から露出し、電線側端子３１の他端は第２ハウジング３２の内部に配置される。本実施形態では、電線側端子３１は、電線ＷＲの数に応じて、複数（３つ）設けられる。 The electric wire side terminal 31 is a plate-like member formed of a metal such as copper, like the device side terminal 22. One end of the wire side terminal 31 is exposed from the second housing 32, and the other end of the wire side terminal 31 is disposed inside the second housing 32. In the present embodiment, a plurality (three) of the electric wire side terminals 31 are provided according to the number of electric wires WR.
　第２ハウジング３２は、例えば、樹脂材料を射出成形することで形成される。第２ハウジング３２は、端子台２０（第１装着部２３１）に装着される第２装着部３２１と、電線側端子３１及び電線ＷＲの接続部位を保護する保護部３２２と、を有する。 The second housing 32 is formed, for example, by injection molding a resin material. The 2nd housing 32 has the 2nd mounting part 321 with which the terminal block 20 (1st mounting part 231) is mounted | worn, and the protection part 322 which protects the connection part of the electric wire side terminal 31 and the electric wire WR.
　第２装着部３２１は、筒状をなす内周壁３２３を含んで構成される。内周壁３２３は、第１装着部２３１の外周壁２３２の内部に挿入できるように、第１装着部２３１の外周壁２３２よりも一回り小さく形成される。内周壁３２３の内部空間には、内周壁３２３を貫通する電線側端子３１の一端が突出する。このため、電線側端子３１の一端は、内周壁３２３の高さ方向における両側の第１開口部３２４及び第２開口部３２５を介して露出する。保護部３２２は、第２装着部３２１の内周壁３２３から延びる。保護部３２２の内部では、電線側端子３１の他端と電線ＷＲとが接続される。本実施形態では、第２開口部３２５が機器側端子２２及び電線側端子３１の接続部位を露出させる「開口部」の一例に相当する。 The second mounting part 321 is configured to include a cylindrical inner peripheral wall 323. The inner peripheral wall 323 is formed to be slightly smaller than the outer peripheral wall 232 of the first mounting portion 231 so that the inner peripheral wall 323 can be inserted into the outer peripheral wall 232 of the first mounting portion 231. One end of the electric wire side terminal 31 that penetrates the inner peripheral wall 323 protrudes into the inner space of the inner peripheral wall 323. For this reason, one end of the electric wire side terminal 31 is exposed through the first opening 324 and the second opening 325 on both sides in the height direction of the inner peripheral wall 323. The protection part 322 extends from the inner peripheral wall 323 of the second mounting part 321. Inside the protection part 322, the other end of the electric wire side terminal 31 and the electric wire WR are connected. In the present embodiment, the second opening 325 corresponds to an example of an “opening” that exposes the connection portion of the device-side terminal 22 and the wire-side terminal 31.

The annular portion 331 surrounds the inner peripheral wall 323 of the second mounting portion 321 with the first opening 324 and the second opening 325 of the second mounting portion 321 exposed. The second flange 332 extends outward in the width direction from the annular portion 331 so as to form a pair. A fixing hole 333 is formed through the second flange 332 in a direction crossing the protruding direction of the second flange 332.
　キャップ３４は、第２装着部３２１の第２開口部３２５を覆うキャップ本体３４１と、第２装着部３２１の内周壁３２３に係止する係止壁３４２と、を有する。キャップ３４には、キャップ３４が第２装着部３２１に係止したときに、キャップ本体３４１と内周壁３２３との隙間を埋めるシール部材を設けることが好ましい。 The cap 34 has a cap body 341 that covers the second opening 325 of the second mounting portion 321 and a locking wall 342 that locks to the inner peripheral wall 323 of the second mounting portion 321. The cap 34 is preferably provided with a seal member that fills a gap between the cap body 341 and the inner peripheral wall 323 when the cap 34 is locked to the second mounting portion 321.
　図２及び図３に示すように、カバー４０は、略半長円形状をなす底壁４１と、底壁４１から延びる側壁４２と、側壁４２から延びる第３フランジ４３と、第３フランジ４３から延びる係止部４４と、を有する。カバー４０は、例えば、金属板をプレス加工することで形成される。カバー４０は、第１シールドシェル２４及び第２シールドシェル３３と同じく、電磁ノイズを遮断する目的で設けられる。 As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the cover 40 includes a bottom wall 41 having a substantially semi-oval shape, a side wall 42 extending from the bottom wall 41, a third flange 43 extending from the side wall 42, and a third flange 43. And a locking portion 44 that extends. The cover 40 is formed by, for example, pressing a metal plate. The cover 40 is provided for the purpose of blocking electromagnetic noise, like the first shield shell 24 and the second shield shell 33.
　第３フランジ４３は、幅方向に対をなすように、側壁４２から屈曲するように延びる。第３フランジ４３は、平面視において、第１フランジ２４２及び第２フランジ３３２と略同様の形状を有する。第３フランジ４３には、第３フランジ４３の突出方向と交差する方向に固定孔４３１が貫通形成される。係止部４４は、第３フランジ４３の固定孔４３１の軸線に沿って延びる。係止部４４には、正面視矩形の係止孔４４１が固定孔４３１の軸線と交差する方向に貫通形成される。係止孔４４１は、端子台２０のシェル本体２４１の突出部２４４よりも大きく形成される。 The third flange 43 extends so as to be bent from the side wall 42 so as to make a pair in the width direction. The third flange 43 has substantially the same shape as the first flange 242 and the second flange 332 in plan view. A fixing hole 431 is formed through the third flange 43 in a direction crossing the protruding direction of the third flange 43. The locking portion 44 extends along the axis of the fixing hole 431 of the third flange 43. A locking hole 441 having a rectangular shape in front view is formed through the locking portion 44 in a direction intersecting the axis of the fixing hole 431. The locking hole 441 is formed larger than the protrusion 244 of the shell body 241 of the terminal block 20.
　第１実施形態の作用を説明する。詳しくは、作業者が、端子台２０にコネクタ３０を鉛直下方から接続する際の作用について説明する。
　端子台２０及びコネクタ３０を接続する場合、作業者は、端子台２０の第１装着部２３１に、コネクタ３０の第２装着部３２１を挿入する。そして、作業者は、第２ハウジング３２の第２開口部３２５から工具を挿入し、端子台２０の機器側端子２２及びコネクタ３０の電線側端子３１を支持台２３３にねじ止めする。こうして、端子台２０及びコネクタ３０が接続される。また、機器側端子２２及び電線側端子３１を接続した後は、作業者は、第２装着部３２１の第２開口部３２５を塞ぐように、第２装着部３２１にキャップ３４を取り付ける。その結果、機器側端子２２及び電線側端子３１の接続部位を収容する空間が閉空間となる。 The operation of the first embodiment will be described. Specifically, the operation when the operator connects the connector 30 to the terminal block 20 from below vertically will be described.
When connecting the terminal block 20 and the connector 30, the operator inserts the second mounting portion 321 of the connector 30 into the first mounting portion 231 of the terminal block 20. Then, the operator inserts a tool from the second opening 325 of the second housing 32, and screws the device side terminal 22 of the terminal block 20 and the electric wire side terminal 31 of the connector 30 to the support base 233. Thus, the terminal block 20 and the connector 30 are connected. In addition, after connecting the device-side terminal 22 and the wire-side terminal 31, the worker attaches the cap 34 to the second mounting portion 321 so as to close the second opening 325 of the second mounting portion 321. As a result, the space that accommodates the connection portions of the device-side terminal 22 and the wire-side terminal 31 is a closed space.
　その後、図４に示すように、接続モジュール１１にカバー４０を固定するために、作業者は、カバー４０を接続モジュール１１に向けて鉛直方向と交差する方向に移動させる。そして、作業者は、カバー４０の係止部４４に形成された係止孔４４１に、端子台２０の突出部２４４を通す。すると、カバー４０の係止部４４が端子台２０に係止し、作業者がカバー４０から手を離しても、カバー４０が端子台２０から脱落しなくなる。つまり、カバー４０が端子台２０に対して仮保持される。また、カバー４０が仮保持される状態では、端子台２０、コネクタ３０及びカバー４０の固定孔２４３，３３３，４３１の軸線が略一致する。そこで、作業者は、カバー４０及びコネクタ３０の固定孔３３３，４３１に通したボルトなどの締結部材ＢＴを端子台２０の固定孔２４３に螺合させる。こうして、端子台２０、コネクタ３０及びカバー４０が相互に締結される。また、カバー４０を接続モジュール１１に固定した状態では、カバー４０により、キャップ３４が装着された第２開口部３２５が覆われる。 Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 4, in order to fix the cover 40 to the connection module 11, the operator moves the cover 40 toward the connection module 11 in a direction intersecting the vertical direction. Then, the operator passes the protruding portion 244 of the terminal block 20 through the locking hole 441 formed in the locking portion 44 of the cover 40. Then, the locking portion 44 of the cover 40 is locked to the terminal block 20, and the cover 40 does not fall off the terminal block 20 even if the operator releases his / her hand from the cover 40. That is, the cover 40 is temporarily held with respect to the terminal block 20. Further, in the state in which the cover 40 is temporarily held, the axes of the terminal block 20, the connector 30, and the fixing holes 243, 333, and 431 of the cover 40 substantially coincide. Therefore, the operator screws a fastening member BT such as a bolt passed through the fixing holes 333 and 431 of the cover 40 and the connector 30 into the fixing hole 243 of the terminal block 20. Thus, the terminal block 20, the connector 30, and the cover 40 are fastened together. Further, in the state where the cover 40 is fixed to the connection module 11, the cover 40 covers the second opening 325 to which the cap 34 is attached.
　以上説明したように、第１実施形態では、接続モジュール１１の端子台２０が「第２部材」に相当し、端子台２０の第１フランジ２４２及びコネクタ３０の第２フランジ３３２が「第２固定部」に相当し、第１フランジ２４２及び第２フランジ３３２の固定孔２４３，３３３が「第２固定孔」に相当する。また、カバー４０が「第１部材」に相当し、カバー４０の第３フランジ４３が「第１固定部」に相当し、第３フランジ４３の固定孔４３１が「第１固定孔」に相当する。 As described above, in the first embodiment, the terminal block 20 of the connection module 11 corresponds to the “second member”, and the first flange 242 of the terminal block 20 and the second flange 332 of the connector 30 are “second fixed”. The fixing holes 243 and 333 of the first flange 242 and the second flange 332 correspond to “second fixing holes”. The cover 40 corresponds to a “first member”, the third flange 43 of the cover 40 corresponds to a “first fixing portion”, and the fixing hole 431 of the third flange 43 corresponds to a “first fixing hole”. .
　第１実施形態の効果を記載する。
　（１）カバー４０の係止部４４が接続モジュール１１に係止することで、接続モジュール１１の固定孔２４３，３３３及びカバー４０の固定孔４３１の軸線がある程度一致する。このため、作業者は、固定孔２４３，３３３，４３１に締結部材ＢＴを通すことで、カバー４０を接続モジュール１１に容易に固定できる。言い換えれば、作業者は、固定孔２４３，３３３，４３１の軸線が一致するようにカバー４０を片手で支えなくても、カバー４０の取付作業を行える。したがって、接続装置１０は、カバー４０の取付作業が煩雑になることを抑制できる。 The effects of the first embodiment will be described.
(1) Since the locking portion 44 of the cover 40 is locked to the connection module 11, the axes of the fixing holes 243 and 333 of the connection module 11 and the fixing holes 431 of the cover 40 coincide to some extent. For this reason, the operator can easily fix the cover 40 to the connection module 11 by passing the fastening member BT through the fixing holes 243, 333 and 431. In other words, the operator can perform the mounting operation of the cover 40 without supporting the cover 40 with one hand so that the axes of the fixing holes 243, 333, and 431 coincide. Therefore, the connection device 10 can suppress the installation work of the cover 40 from becoming complicated.
　（２）詳しくは、作業者は、係止部４４の係止孔４４１に突出部２４４を通すことで、接続モジュール１１の固定孔２４３，３３３及びカバー４０の固定孔４３１を位置合わせできる。また、突出部２４４の先端が屈曲しているため、係止部４４が突出部２４４の先端に引っ掛かり、カバー４０が接続モジュール１１から取り外れにくくなる。 (2) Specifically, the operator can align the fixing holes 243 and 333 of the connection module 11 and the fixing hole 431 of the cover 40 by passing the protruding portion 244 through the locking hole 441 of the locking portion 44. Further, since the tip of the projecting portion 244 is bent, the locking portion 44 is caught on the tip of the projecting portion 244, and the cover 40 is difficult to be removed from the connection module 11.
　（第２実施形態）
　以下、接続装置の第２実施形態について説明する。第２実施形態の接続装置１０Ａ（接続モジュール１１Ａ）は、第１実施形態の接続装置１０（接続モジュール１１）と比較したとき、カバー４０の仮保持に係る構成が異なる。このため、以降の説明では、第１実施形態と異なる部分について説明し、第１実施形態と共通する構成については同一の符号を付して説明を省略する。 (Second Embodiment)
Hereinafter, a second embodiment of the connection device will be described. The connection device 10 </ b> A (connection module 11 </ b> A) of the second embodiment is different from the connection device 10 (connection module 11) of the first embodiment in the configuration related to temporary holding of the cover 40. For this reason, in the following description, a different part from 1st Embodiment is demonstrated, about the structure which is common in 1st Embodiment, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and description is abbreviate | omitted.
　図５及び図６に示すように接続装置１０Ａは、端子台２０と、コネクタ３０Ａと、カバー４０Ａと、を備える。
　コネクタ３０Ａにおいて、第２シールドシェル３３Ａの第２フランジ３３４は、板状をなしている。第２フランジ３３４は、第２フランジ３３４の第１面から固定孔３３３の軸線に沿って延びる係合軸３３５と、第２フランジ３３４の第２面から延びるスペーサ３３６と、を有する。係合軸３３５は、第２フランジ３３４において、固定孔３３３よりも基端寄りの位置に形成される。スペーサ３３６は、固定孔３３３の周囲を囲うように、固定孔３３３の軸線に沿って延びる。スペーサ３３６は、端子台２０にコネクタ３０Ａを装着したときに、第１フランジ２４２及び第２フランジ３３４の間に隙間を形成する。 As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the connection device 10 </ b> A includes a terminal block 20, a connector 30 </ b> A, and a cover 40 </ b> A.
In the connector 30A, the second flange 334 of the second shield shell 33A has a plate shape. The second flange 334 includes an engagement shaft 335 extending from the first surface of the second flange 334 along the axis of the fixing hole 333, and a spacer 336 extending from the second surface of the second flange 334. The engagement shaft 335 is formed at a position closer to the base end than the fixing hole 333 in the second flange 334. The spacer 336 extends along the axis of the fixing hole 333 so as to surround the periphery of the fixing hole 333. The spacer 336 forms a gap between the first flange 242 and the second flange 334 when the connector 30 </ b> A is attached to the terminal block 20.
　カバー４０Ａは、底壁４１と、側壁４２と、第３フランジ４５と、第３フランジ４５から鉤状に延びる係止部４６と、を有する。第３フランジ４５には、第３フランジ４３の突出方向と交差する方向に固定孔４５１が貫通形成される。また、第３フランジ４５には、固定孔４５１の軸線と交差する方向に係合凹部４５２が形成される。第３フランジ４５における係合凹部４５２の形成位置は、第２フランジ３３４における係合軸３３５の突出位置と対応する。係止部４６は、側面視略Ｕ字状をなし、コネクタ３０Ａの第２フランジ３３４の厚さに応じた大きさに形成される。 The cover 40 </ b> A includes a bottom wall 41, a side wall 42, a third flange 45, and a locking portion 46 extending from the third flange 45 in a bowl shape. A fixing hole 451 is formed through the third flange 45 in a direction crossing the protruding direction of the third flange 43. Further, an engagement recess 452 is formed in the third flange 45 in a direction intersecting with the axis of the fixing hole 451. The formation position of the engagement recess 452 in the third flange 45 corresponds to the protruding position of the engagement shaft 335 in the second flange 334. The locking portion 46 is substantially U-shaped in a side view and is formed in a size corresponding to the thickness of the second flange 334 of the connector 30A.
　第２実施形態の作用について説明する。詳しくは、作業者が、端子台２０にコネクタ３０Ａを鉛直下方から接続する際の作用について説明する。なお、端子台２０の第１装着部２３１にコネクタ３０Ａの第２装着部３２１を接続し、第２装着部３２１にキャップ３４を装着するまでの作用は、第１実施形態と同様であるため記載を省略する。 The operation of the second embodiment will be described. Specifically, the operation when the operator connects the connector 30A to the terminal block 20 from vertically below will be described. The operation until the second mounting portion 321 of the connector 30A is connected to the first mounting portion 231 of the terminal block 20 and the cap 34 is mounted on the second mounting portion 321 is the same as in the first embodiment. Is omitted.
　図７に示すように、接続モジュール１１Ａにカバー４０Ａを固定する場合、作業者は、カバー４０Ａをコネクタ３０Ａに向けて鉛直方向と交差する方向に接近させる。すると、コネクタ３０Ａの第２シールドシェル３３Ａに形成される係合軸３３５が、カバー４０Ａに形成される係合凹部４５２に係合し、コネクタ３０Ａ及びカバー４０Ａの相対的な位置関係がある程度決定される。その後、係合軸３３５が係合凹部４５２の底に到達すると、第１シールドシェル２４及び第２シールドシェル３３Ａの間に形成される隙間に、カバー４０Ａの係止部４６の先端が入り込む。つまり、係止部４６が、第２シールドシェル３３Ａの第２フランジ３３４に掛止する。その結果、カバー４０Ａが接続モジュール１１Ａに対して仮保持される。 As shown in FIG. 7, when fixing the cover 40A to the connection module 11A, the operator approaches the cover 40A toward the connector 30A in a direction intersecting the vertical direction. Then, the engagement shaft 335 formed on the second shield shell 33A of the connector 30A engages with the engagement recess 452 formed on the cover 40A, and the relative positional relationship between the connector 30A and the cover 40A is determined to some extent. The Thereafter, when the engagement shaft 335 reaches the bottom of the engagement recess 452, the tip of the locking portion 46 of the cover 40A enters a gap formed between the first shield shell 24 and the second shield shell 33A. That is, the locking portion 46 is hooked on the second flange 334 of the second shield shell 33A. As a result, the cover 40A is temporarily held with respect to the connection module 11A.
　カバー４０Ａが仮保持される状態では、端子台２０、コネクタ３０Ａ及びカバー４０Ａの固定孔２４３，３３３，４５１の軸線が略一致する。そこで、作業者は、カバー４０Ａ及びコネクタ３０Ａの固定孔３３３，４５１に通したボルトなどの締結部材ＢＴを端子台２０の固定孔２４３に螺合させる。こうして、端子台２０、コネクタ３０Ａ及びカバー４０Ａが相互に締結される。 In the state where the cover 40A is temporarily held, the axes of the terminal block 20, the connector 30A, and the fixing holes 243, 333, and 451 of the cover 40A substantially coincide. Therefore, the worker screws the fastening member BT such as a bolt passed through the fixing holes 333 and 451 of the cover 40A and the connector 30A into the fixing hole 243 of the terminal block 20. Thus, the terminal block 20, the connector 30A, and the cover 40A are fastened together.
　以上説明したように、第２実施形態では、接続モジュール１１Ａのコネクタ３０Ａが「第２部材」に相当し、端子台２０の第１フランジ２４２及びコネクタ３０Ａの第２フランジ３３４が「第２固定部」に相当し、第１フランジ２４２及び第２フランジ３３４の固定孔２４３，３３３が「第２固定孔」に相当する。また、カバー４０Ａが「第１部材」に相当し、カバー４０Ａの第３フランジ４５が「第１固定部」に相当し、第３フランジ４５の固定孔４５１が「第１固定孔」に相当する。 As described above, in the second embodiment, the connector 30A of the connection module 11A corresponds to a “second member”, and the first flange 242 of the terminal block 20 and the second flange 334 of the connector 30A are “second fixing portions”. The fixing holes 243 and 333 of the first flange 242 and the second flange 334 correspond to the “second fixing hole”. Further, the cover 40A corresponds to a “first member”, the third flange 45 of the cover 40A corresponds to a “first fixing portion”, and the fixing hole 451 of the third flange 45 corresponds to a “first fixing hole”. .
　第２実施形態の効果を記載する。第２実施形態によれば、第１実施形態の効果（１）に加え、以下の効果を得ることができる。
　（３）作業者は、係止部４６を第２フランジ３３４に掛止することで、カバー４０Ａを仮保持できる。 The effect of 2nd Embodiment is described. According to the second embodiment, in addition to the effect (1) of the first embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
