Description

レバー式コネクタlever type connector
　本開示は、レバー式コネクタに関するものである。 The present disclosure relates to a lever type connector.
　特許文献１には、レバーに設けられたピニオン歯がハウジングに収容されたスライダーのラック部に噛み合うレバー式コネクタが開示されている。このものは、レバーをカバーに取り付けた後、ハウジングにカバーを取り付ける構成である。そして、ハウジングにカバーが取り付けられた状態で、相手側コネクタの突出部をスライダーに形成されたカム溝に嵌合させ、レバーを一方向へ回転操作すると、スライダーが一方向へスライド移動し、これによって、相手側コネクタをハウジングに引き寄せることができる。 Patent Document 1 discloses a lever type connector in which pinion teeth provided on a lever engage with a rack portion of a slider housed in a housing. This device has a structure in which the lever is attached to the cover and then the cover is attached to the housing. Then, with the cover attached to the housing, when the protruding part of the mating connector is fitted into the cam groove formed on the slider and the lever is rotated in one direction, the slider slides in one direction and this This allows the mating connector to be drawn toward the housing.
特開２０１７－１７４７４９号公報Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2017-174749
　レバーの嵌合方向の回転力を、スライダーに対して嵌合方向の移動力として伝達するためには、レバーとスライダーを適切な向きに噛み合わせる必要がある。しかし、ハウジングに対してカバーを取り付ける向きを変更自在な構成のコネクタの場合、レバーがスライダーに対して逆向きに噛み合わされるおそれがある。 In order to transmit the rotational force of the lever in the fitting direction to the slider as a moving force in the fitting direction, it is necessary to mesh the lever and slider in an appropriate direction. However, in the case of a connector in which the direction in which the cover is attached to the housing can be changed, there is a risk that the lever may be engaged with the slider in the opposite direction.
　本開示のレバー式コネクタは、上記のような事情に基づいて完成されたものであって、レバーとスライダが不適切な向きで噛み合うことを防止することを目的とする。 The lever-type connector of the present disclosure was developed based on the above-mentioned circumstances, and aims to prevent the lever and the slider from engaging in inappropriate orientations.

［本開示の実施形態の説明］
　最初に本開示の実施態様を列記して説明する。
　本開示のレバー式コネクタは、
　（１）相手側ハウジングと嵌合可能なハウジングと、一対のスライダと、電線カバーと、レバーと、を備える。一対のスライダは、相手側ハウジングのカムフォロアを摺動させるカム溝と、一対のラックとを有し、ハウジングに対して直線移動を可能に設けられる。電線カバーは、ハウジングに対して、ハウジングの電線引き出し面を覆うように、且つスライダの移動方向において反転した向きに組付け可能である。レバーは、電線カバーに回転可能に取り付けられ、一対のギヤを有する。このレバー式コネクタは、一対のギヤを一対のラックに個別に噛み合わせた状態でレバーを回転させることによって、レバーの回転力がスライダに伝達され、相手側ハウジングと、ハウジングとが嵌合及び離脱されるようになっている。一対のギヤは、非対称に形成され、一対のラックは、非対称に形成されている。この構成によれば、一対のギヤが非対称に形成され、一対のラックが非対称に形成されているので、レバーが取り付けられた電線カバーを指定された向きと反転してハウジングに組付けようとしても、ギヤとラックが噛み合わなくなる。よって、レバーとスライダが不適切な向きで噛み合うことを防止することができる。 [Description of embodiments of the present disclosure]
First, embodiments of the present disclosure will be listed and described.
The lever type connector of the present disclosure includes:
(1) It includes a housing that can be fitted with a mating housing, a pair of sliders, a wire cover, and a lever. The pair of sliders have a cam groove on which a cam follower of the mating housing slides, and a pair of racks, and are provided to be movable linearly with respect to the housing. The wire cover can be attached to the housing so as to cover the wire drawing-out surface of the housing, and in the opposite direction in the moving direction of the slider. The lever is rotatably attached to the wire cover and has a pair of gears. In this lever type connector, by rotating the lever with a pair of gears individually engaged with a pair of racks, the rotational force of the lever is transmitted to the slider, and the mating housing and the housing are mated and uncoupled. It is now possible to do so. The pair of gears are asymmetrically formed, and the pair of racks are asymmetrically formed. According to this configuration, the pair of gears are formed asymmetrically and the pair of racks are formed asymmetrically, so even if you try to assemble the wire cover to which the lever is attached to the housing in the opposite direction from the specified direction, , the gear and rack will no longer mesh. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the lever and the slider from engaging in an inappropriate orientation.
　（２）一対のギヤ、及び一対のラックは、同じピッチである。一対のギヤは、互いに支軸周りの周方向にずれるように配置され、一対のスライダがハウジングに対して所定の初期位置に配置された状態において、一対のラックは、互いにスライダの移動方向にずれるように配置されることが好ましい。この構成によれば、一対のギヤ、及び一対のラックは、同じピッチなので、異なるピッチで設計するのに比べて、設計し易い。 (2) The pair of gears and the pair of racks have the same pitch. The pair of gears are arranged so as to be offset from each other in the circumferential direction around the spindle, and when the pair of sliders are placed at a predetermined initial position with respect to the housing, the pair of racks are arranged so as to be offset from each other in the direction of slider movement. It is preferable that they be arranged as follows. According to this configuration, since the pair of gears and the pair of racks have the same pitch, it is easier to design them than when designing them with different pitches.
　（３）一対のスライダは、ハウジングの内部に収容されていることが好ましい。この構成によれば、ハウジングからスライダが突出しないのでコネクタとしての外形を抑えやすい。 (3) The pair of sliders is preferably housed inside the housing. According to this configuration, since the slider does not protrude from the housing, the outer shape of the connector can be easily suppressed.
　（４）相手側ハウジングは、回路基板に固定されるものであり、一対のスライダは、ハウジングに対して、スライダの移動方向において反転して組み付け可能であることが好ましい。この構成によれば、回路基板に対するハウジングの向きは、回路基板に固定された相手側ハウジングの向きによって決まる。ハウジングにおけるスライダの嵌合時及び離脱時の移動方向によって、レバーの嵌合時及び離脱時の回転方向が決まる。レバーの回転方向が決まると、電線を導出させる向き（ハウジングに対する電線カバーの組付けの向き）が決まる。このレバー式コネクタは、スライダをスライダの移動方向において反転して組み付けることが可能なので、ハウジングの向きが決まっていても、電線の導出方向を任意に設定することができる。 (4) It is preferable that the mating housing is fixed to the circuit board, and that the pair of sliders can be assembled to the housing by being reversed in the direction of movement of the sliders. According to this configuration, the orientation of the housing with respect to the circuit board is determined by the orientation of the mating housing fixed to the circuit board. The direction of movement of the slider in the housing during engagement and disengagement determines the direction of rotation of the lever during engagement and disengagement. Once the direction of rotation of the lever is determined, the direction in which the wires are led out (the direction in which the wire cover is assembled to the housing) is determined. In this lever type connector, the slider can be assembled with the slider reversed in the direction of movement of the slider, so even if the orientation of the housing is determined, the direction in which the electric wires are led out can be set arbitrarily.
［実施形態１］
　本発明の実施形態１を図１から図１３を参照しつつ説明する。レバー式コネクタ１０は、ハウジング２０、電線カバー２２、レバー４０、及び一対のスライダ６０を備えている。ハウジング２０は、相手側ハウジング１００に嵌合可能とされている。図中、「前側」、「後側」、「上側」、「下側」、「右側」、及び「左側」は、それぞれ「Ｆ」、「Ｂ」、「Ｕ」、「Ｄ」、「Ｒ」、及び「Ｌ」で表される。 [Embodiment 1]
Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 13. The lever type connector 10 includes a housing 20, a wire cover 22, a lever 40, and a pair of sliders 60. The housing 20 can be fitted into the mating housing 100. In the figure, "front side", "back side", "upper side", "lower side", "right side", and "left side" are respectively "F", "B", "U", "D", and "R". ", and "L".
　相手側ハウジング１００は、合成樹脂製である。相手側ハウジング１００は、上下方向に延びる角筒状のフード部１０１と、フード部１０１の底部に設けられた相手側ハウジング本体部１０２と、を有している。相手側ハウジング本体部１０２には、上下方向に貫通する複数のキャビティ（図示せず）が形成されている。各キャビティには、下方から雄端子金具（図示せず）が抜け止め状態で挿入される。相手側ハウジング本体部１０２よりも下方に突出する雄端子金具は、例えば、図示しない回路基板のスルーホールに挿通されて、回路基板に対して接続されている。つまり、相手側ハウジング１００は、回路基板に固定されるものである。 The counterpart housing 100 is made of synthetic resin. The mating housing 100 has a rectangular cylindrical hood part 101 extending in the vertical direction, and a mating housing body part 102 provided at the bottom of the hood part 101. A plurality of cavities (not shown) penetrating vertically are formed in the mating housing main body part 102. A male terminal fitting (not shown) is inserted into each cavity from below in a manner that prevents it from coming off. The male terminal fittings that protrude below the mating housing main body 102 are inserted into, for example, through holes in a circuit board (not shown) and connected to the circuit board. In other words, the mating housing 100 is fixed to the circuit board.
　フード部１０１の長手方向（前後方向）に延びる一対の壁部の外面の各々には、複数のカムフォロア１０４が突出して形成されている。各カムフォロア１０４は、円柱状をなして左右方向外向きに突出している。 A plurality of cam followers 104 are formed to protrude from each of the outer surfaces of a pair of walls extending in the longitudinal direction (front-back direction) of the hood portion 101. Each cam follower 104 has a cylindrical shape and projects outward in the left-right direction.
　ハウジング２０は、合成樹脂製である。図２に示すように、ハウジング２０は、上下方向に延びる角筒状をなしている。ハウジング２０は、相手側ハウジング１００と嵌合可能である。ハウジング２０には、例えば、複数のキャビティが上下方向に貫通して形成された端子固定部材（図示せず）が取り付け可能とされている。端子固定部材の各キャビティには、上方から雌端子金具（図示せず）が抜け止め状態で挿入される。 The housing 20 is made of synthetic resin. As shown in FIG. 2, the housing 20 has a rectangular tube shape that extends in the vertical direction. The housing 20 is fittable with the mating housing 100. For example, a terminal fixing member (not shown) having a plurality of cavities vertically penetrating therethrough can be attached to the housing 20 . A female terminal fitting (not shown) is inserted into each cavity of the terminal fixing member from above so as to be prevented from coming off.
　ハウジング２０の外面は、前後方向に延びる一対の長辺面部２４と、左右方向に延びる一対の短辺面部２５とで構成されている。各長辺面部２４には、スライダ収容部２６が１つずつ形成されている。これらスライダ収容部２６の前後方向の両端は開口し、前後方向に貫通して形成されている。スライダ収容部２６には、左右方向の両端の開口を通して内部にスライダ６０が収容可能とされている（図１参照）。 The outer surface of the housing 20 is composed of a pair of long side surfaces 24 extending in the front-rear direction and a pair of short side surfaces 25 extending in the left-right direction. One slider accommodating portion 26 is formed in each long side surface portion 24 . Both ends of the slider accommodating portions 26 in the front and rear directions are open and are formed to penetrate in the front and rear direction. The slider accommodating portion 26 can accommodate a slider 60 therein through openings at both ends in the left and right direction (see FIG. 1).
　各スライダ収容部２６の前後方向中央部の上端には、前後方向に長く窓部３４が開口して形成されている。窓部３４は、スライダ収容部２６の内部空間と外部とを連通している。ハウジング２０の上端面は、電線引き出し面３５とされている。雌端子金具に接続された電線は、電線引き出し面３５を介してハウジング２０から引き出される。 A window portion 34 is formed at the upper end of the central portion of each slider accommodating portion 26 in the front-rear direction and is long and open in the front-rear direction. The window portion 34 communicates the interior space of the slider accommodating portion 26 with the outside. The upper end surface of the housing 20 is a wire drawing surface 35. The electric wire connected to the female terminal fitting is drawn out from the housing 20 via the wire drawing surface 35.
　各長辺面部２４の上端縁部の前後方向両端部には、左右方向内向きに窪んで一対の溝２４Ａが形成されている。各短辺面部２５の上端縁部の左右方向の両端部には、前後方向外向きに突出する一対の突部２５Ａが設けられている。 A pair of grooves 24A are formed at both end portions of the upper end edge of each long side surface portion 24 in the front-rear direction so as to be recessed inward in the left-right direction. A pair of protrusions 25A that protrude outward in the front-rear direction are provided at both ends in the left-right direction of the upper end edge of each short side surface portion 25.
　電線カバー２２は、合成樹脂製である。電線カバー２２は、ハウジング２０の上端に取り付けられ、ハウジング２０の電線引き出し面３５を覆う機能を有している（図５参照）。図３、４に示すように、電線カバー２２は、互いに向かい合う第１壁部２２Ａと、第２壁部２２Ｂと、第１壁部２２Ａ及び第２壁部２２Ｂを連結する連結壁部２２Ｃと、を備えている。第１壁部２２Ａは、板厚方向を左右方向に向けて上向きに立ち上がるように配置されている。第２壁部２２Ｂは、板厚方向を前後方向に向けて上向きに立ち上がるように配置され、各第１壁部２２Ａの前端部に連なるように配置される（図４参照）。連結壁部２２Ｃは、一対の第１壁部２２Ａ及び第２壁部２２Ｂの上端に連なるように配置されている。電線カバー２２の後端部には、下端から上端にわたって開口して電線導出口２２Ｄが形成されている。ハウジング２０の上端から上向きに引き出された各電線は、その端部が電線カバー２２の内部に屈曲状態で収容され、且つ電線導出口２２Ｄから導出されるようになっている。一対の第１壁部２２Ａの外面における前後方向中央部の下端部には、円柱状の支軸３８が左右方向外向きに突出して設けられている。 The wire cover 22 is made of synthetic resin. The wire cover 22 is attached to the upper end of the housing 20 and has a function of covering the wire drawing surface 35 of the housing 20 (see FIG. 5). As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the wire cover 22 includes a first wall portion 22A and a second wall portion 22B facing each other, and a connecting wall portion 22C that connects the first wall portion 22A and the second wall portion 22B. It is equipped with The first wall portion 22A is arranged so as to stand upward with the plate thickness direction facing in the left-right direction. The second wall portion 22B is arranged so as to stand upward with the plate thickness direction facing the front-rear direction, and is arranged so as to be continuous with the front end portion of each first wall portion 22A (see FIG. 4). The connecting wall portion 22C is arranged so as to be continuous with the upper ends of the pair of first wall portions 22A and second wall portions 22B. A wire outlet 22D is formed at the rear end of the wire cover 22 and opens from the lower end to the upper end. The ends of each electric wire drawn upward from the upper end of the housing 20 are accommodated inside the electric wire cover 22 in a bent state, and are led out from the electric wire outlet 22D. A cylindrical support shaft 38 is provided at the lower end of the center portion in the front-rear direction on the outer surface of the pair of first wall portions 22A so as to protrude outward in the left-right direction.
　電線導出口２２Ｄが開口する側の一対の第１壁部２２Ａの左右方向内側の下端部の各々には、左右方向内向きに突出する爪部３７Ａが１つずつ設けられている。第２壁部２２Ｂの左右方向両端部には、前後方向に貫通して一対の係止孔３８Ａが形成されている（図４参照）。 A claw portion 37A that protrudes inward in the left-right direction is provided on each of the lower end portions of the pair of first wall portions 22A on the side where the wire outlet 22D opens, on the inside in the left-right direction. A pair of locking holes 38A are formed at both ends of the second wall portion 22B in the left-right direction so as to penetrate in the front-back direction (see FIG. 4).
　電線カバー２２は、ハウジング２０に対して前後方向に反転して取り付けることができる。例えば、図５に示すように、電線カバー２２の第２壁部２２Ｂを前側の短辺面部２５の上端部に対して前方から被さるように配置して、第２壁部２２Ｂの係止孔３８Ａに前側の短辺面部２５の突部２５Ａを挿入する。そして、電線カバー２２の第１壁部２２Ａの爪部３７Ａが後側の短辺面部２５側に位置する溝２４Ａに係止する。こうして、電線導出口２２Ｄを後側の短辺面部２５側に配置して電線カバー２２をハウジング２０に対して取り付けることができる。 The wire cover 22 can be attached to the housing 20 by being reversed in the front-back direction. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the second wall portion 22B of the wire cover 22 is arranged to cover the upper end portion of the front short side surface portion 25 from the front, and the locking hole 38A of the second wall portion 22B is Insert the protrusion 25A of the short side surface portion 25 on the front side. Then, the claw portion 37A of the first wall portion 22A of the wire cover 22 is engaged with the groove 24A located on the rear short side surface portion 25 side. In this way, the wire cover 22 can be attached to the housing 20 with the wire outlet 22D disposed on the rear short side surface portion 25 side.
　また、電線カバー２２の第２壁部２２Ｂを後側の短辺面部２５に対して後方から被さるように配置して、第２壁部２２Ｂの係止孔３８Ａに後側の短辺面部２５の突部２５Ａを挿入する。そして、電線カバー２２の第１壁部２２Ａの爪部３７Ａが前側の短辺面部２５側に位置する溝２４Ａに係止する。こうして、電線導出口２２Ｄを前側の短辺面部２５側に配置して電線カバー２２をハウジング２０に対して取り付けることができる。 Further, the second wall portion 22B of the wire cover 22 is arranged so as to cover the rear short side portion 25 from the rear, and the rear short side portion 25 is inserted into the locking hole 38A of the second wall portion 22B. Insert the protrusion 25A. Then, the claw portion 37A of the first wall portion 22A of the wire cover 22 is engaged with the groove 24A located on the front short side surface portion 25 side. In this way, the wire cover 22 can be attached to the housing 20 with the wire outlet 22D disposed on the front short side surface portion 25 side.
　レバー４０は、合成樹脂製である。図６に示すように、レバー４０は、全体として門型板状をなし、左右方向に延びる操作部４１と、互いに平行な平板状をなして、操作部４１の左右方向の両端の各々から後向きに延びる一対の作用部４２と、を有している。各作用部４２の後端部には、支軸３８を受ける軸受孔４３が板厚方向（左右方向）に貫通して形成されている。 The lever 40 is made of synthetic resin. As shown in FIG. 6, the lever 40 has a gate-like plate shape as a whole, and has an operating portion 41 extending in the left-right direction, and a flat plate-shaped parallel to each other, facing rearward from each of the left and right ends of the operating portion 41. It has a pair of action parts 42 extending to . A bearing hole 43 for receiving the support shaft 38 is formed at the rear end of each operating portion 42 so as to penetrate in the plate thickness direction (horizontal direction).
　図７に示すように、各作用部４２の後端部の外周縁の各々には、ギヤ４４が形成されている。つまり、レバー４０は、一対のギヤ４４を有している。これらギヤ４４は同じピッチである。各ギヤ４４は、軸受孔４３周りに形成されている。ギヤ４４には、凹部４５が形成されている。各凹部４５は、作用部４２の左右方向の内側、及び外周縁の外側に向けて開口されている。電線カバー２２がハウジング２０に取り付けられた状態では、各ギヤ４４の先端部（軸受孔４３から放射方向に離れた部分）が窓部３４を介してスライダ収容部２６の内部に進入するようになっている（図１参照）。 As shown in FIG. 7, a gear 44 is formed on each outer circumferential edge of the rear end of each operating portion 42. As shown in FIG. That is, the lever 40 has a pair of gears 44. These gears 44 have the same pitch. Each gear 44 is formed around the bearing hole 43. A recess 45 is formed in the gear 44 . Each recess 45 is opened toward the inside of the action portion 42 in the left-right direction and toward the outside of the outer peripheral edge. When the wire cover 22 is attached to the housing 20, the tip of each gear 44 (the portion radially away from the bearing hole 43) enters into the slider housing portion 26 through the window portion 34. (See Figure 1).
　一対の作用部４２の各々に設けられた各ギヤ４４は、非対称に形成されている。具体的には、一方の作用部４２におけるギヤ４４と、他方の作用部４２におけるギヤ４４とは、互いに軸受孔４３周りにずれて配置されている。つまり、一対の作用部４２の各々に設けられた各ギヤ４４の位相は、互いにずれるように配置されている。 Each gear 44 provided in each of the pair of action parts 42 is asymmetrically formed. Specifically, the gear 44 in one of the action parts 42 and the gear 44 in the other action part 42 are arranged offset from each other around the bearing hole 43. In other words, the gears 44 provided in each of the pair of action parts 42 are arranged so as to be out of phase with each other.
　このように形成されたレバー４０は、軸受孔４３に支軸３８を嵌合させることによって、電線カバー２２に回転可能に取り付けられる（図１参照）。具体的には、一対の作用部４２のギヤ４４を下側に向け、一対の作用部４２を支軸３８から前向き上方に延びる向きにし、操作部４１を第２壁部２２Ｂの上方に配置した姿勢で、レバー４０は、電線カバー２２に取り付けられる（図１参照）。この状態において、一対のギヤ４４は、互いに支軸３８の周方向にずれるように配置される。電線カバー２２に対してレバー４０がこのような姿勢にある場合、レバー４０は、初期位置に配置された状態である（図１参照）。 The lever 40 formed in this manner is rotatably attached to the wire cover 22 by fitting the support shaft 38 into the bearing hole 43 (see FIG. 1). Specifically, the gears 44 of the pair of acting parts 42 are oriented downward, the pair of acting parts 42 are oriented to extend forward and upward from the support shaft 38, and the operating part 41 is arranged above the second wall part 22B. In this position, the lever 40 is attached to the wire cover 22 (see FIG. 1). In this state, the pair of gears 44 are arranged so as to be offset from each other in the circumferential direction of the support shaft 38. When the lever 40 is in this attitude with respect to the wire cover 22, the lever 40 is in the initial position (see FIG. 1).
　一対のスライダ６０は、合成樹脂製であって、一方向に延びた平板状をなしている。図８に示すように、一対のスライダ６０の各々には、相手側ハウジング１００のカムフォロア１０４を受けて摺動させるカム溝６３が形成されている。カム溝６３は、前向き上方に傾斜し、下端に開口する形態とされている。各スライダ６０の上端縁には、ラック６４が形成されている。つまり、一対のスライダ６０は、一対のラック６４を有している。各ラック６４は、互いに同じピッチであり、前後方向に沿った鋸歯状をなし、スライダ６０の上端縁における前後方向中央部に形成されている。各ラック６４のピッチは、レバー４０のギヤ４４のピッチと同じである。ラック６４には、谷部６５が形成されている。各谷部６５は、スライダ６０の左右方向の外側及び上側に開口されている。 The pair of sliders 60 are made of synthetic resin and have a flat plate shape extending in one direction. As shown in FIG. 8, each of the pair of sliders 60 is formed with a cam groove 63 that receives and slides the cam follower 104 of the mating housing 100. The cam groove 63 is inclined upward in the forward direction and opens at the lower end. A rack 64 is formed at the upper edge of each slider 60. That is, the pair of sliders 60 have a pair of racks 64. Each rack 64 has the same pitch, has a serrated shape along the front-rear direction, and is formed at the center of the upper edge of the slider 60 in the front-rear direction. The pitch of each rack 64 is the same as the pitch of the gear 44 of the lever 40. A trough 65 is formed in the rack 64. Each trough portion 65 is open to the outside and upper side of the slider 60 in the left-right direction.
　図９に示すように、一対のスライダ６０の各々に設けられたラック６４（すなわち、一対のラック６４）は、非対称に形成されている。具体的には、一方のスライダ６０における複数のラック６４と、他方のスライダ６０における複数のラック６４とは、互いに前後方向にずれて配置されている。つまり、一対のスライダ６０の各々に設けられたラック６４の位相は、前後方向にずれるように配置されている。一対のスライダ６０の各々には、左右方向外向きに突出した係止凸部６６が設けられている。 As shown in FIG. 9, the racks 64 provided on each of the pair of sliders 60 (that is, the pair of racks 64) are asymmetrically formed. Specifically, the plurality of racks 64 in one slider 60 and the plurality of racks 64 in the other slider 60 are arranged to be shifted from each other in the front-rear direction. In other words, the phases of the racks 64 provided on each of the pair of sliders 60 are shifted in the front-rear direction. Each of the pair of sliders 60 is provided with a locking convex portion 66 that projects outward in the left-right direction.
　一対のスライダ６０は、ハウジング２０のスライダ収容部２６（ハウジング２０の内部）に対してスライダ６０の移動方向において反転して組み付けることができる。例えば、図１０に示すように、一方のスライダ６０を左側のスライダ収容部２６に収容し、他方のスライダ６０を右側のスライダ収容部２６に収容する。このとき、各スライダ６０の姿勢を、ラック６４を上側に向けるとともに、ラック６４を左右方向外側に臨む姿勢にする。そして、各スライダ６０の係止凸部６６を、スライダ収容部２６の後側に臨むように形成された第１係止凹部２６Ａに嵌合させる。すると、各スライダ６０は、後側の短辺面部２５の外面に面一になるようにハウジング２０のスライダ収容部２６に収容される。各係止凸部６６が各第１係止凹部２６Ａに嵌り込むことによって、各スライダ６０は、各スライダ収容部２６における初期位置に保持される。このように、一対のスライダ６０がハウジング２０に対して所定の初期位置に配置された状態において、一対のラック６４は、互いに前後方向（スライダ６０の移動方向）に位相がずれるように配置される。 The pair of sliders 60 can be assembled to the slider accommodating portion 26 of the housing 20 (inside the housing 20) by being reversed in the moving direction of the sliders 60. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, one slider 60 is accommodated in the slider accommodating section 26 on the left side, and the other slider 60 is accommodated in the slider accommodating section 26 on the right side. At this time, the attitude of each slider 60 is such that the rack 64 faces upward and the rack 64 faces outward in the left-right direction. Then, the locking convex portion 66 of each slider 60 is fitted into the first locking recess 26A formed so as to face the rear side of the slider accommodating portion 26. Then, each slider 60 is accommodated in the slider accommodating portion 26 of the housing 20 so as to be flush with the outer surface of the short side surface portion 25 on the rear side. Each slider 60 is held at the initial position in each slider accommodating portion 26 by fitting each locking convex portion 66 into each first locking recess 26A. In this way, when the pair of sliders 60 are arranged at the predetermined initial position with respect to the housing 20, the pair of racks 64 are arranged so as to be out of phase with each other in the front-rear direction (the direction of movement of the slider 60). .
　また、他方のスライダ６０を左側のスライダ収容部２６に収容し、一方のスライダ６０を右側のスライダ収容部２６に収容する。この場合、各スライダ６０の係止凸部６６がスライダ収容部２６の前側に臨むように形成された第２係止凹部２６Ｂに嵌り込む。これによって各スライダ６０は、前側の短辺面部２５の外面に面一になるようにハウジング２０のスライダ収容部２６に収容される。このようにスライダ収容部２６に収容されたスライダ６０は、ハウジング２０に対して前後方向に直線移動が可能である。つまり、一対のスライダ６０は、ハウジング２０に対して直線移動可能に設けられる。 Further, the other slider 60 is accommodated in the slider accommodating section 26 on the left side, and one slider 60 is accommodated in the slider accommodating section 26 on the right side. In this case, the locking convex portion 66 of each slider 60 fits into the second locking recess 26B formed so as to face the front side of the slider accommodating portion 26. As a result, each slider 60 is accommodated in the slider accommodating portion 26 of the housing 20 so as to be flush with the outer surface of the short side surface portion 25 on the front side. The slider 60 accommodated in the slider accommodating portion 26 in this manner is capable of linear movement in the front-rear direction with respect to the housing 20. That is, the pair of sliders 60 are provided so as to be linearly movable with respect to the housing 20.
［電線カバーをハウジングに取り付ける工程の一例］
　次に、電線カバー２２を設定された向きでハウジング２０に取り付ける工程の一例について説明する。先ず、電線カバー２２に対してレバー４０を取り付ける。具体的には、電線カバー２２に対するレバー４０の姿勢を、一対の作用部４２のギヤ４４を下側に向け、一対の作用部４２を支軸３８から前向き上方に延びる向きにして、操作部４１を第２壁部２２Ｂの上方に配置するようにする。そして、軸受孔４３を支軸３８に嵌合させる（図１参照）。このとき、レバー４０は、電線カバー２２に対して初期位置に配置された状態である。 [An example of the process of attaching the wire cover to the housing]
Next, an example of the process of attaching the wire cover 22 to the housing 20 in a set orientation will be described. First, the lever 40 is attached to the wire cover 22. Specifically, the posture of the lever 40 with respect to the wire cover 22 is such that the gears 44 of the pair of acting parts 42 face downward, the pair of acting parts 42 extend forward and upward from the support shaft 38, and the operating part 41 is arranged above the second wall portion 22B. Then, the bearing hole 43 is fitted into the support shaft 38 (see FIG. 1). At this time, the lever 40 is in an initial position relative to the wire cover 22.
　次に、ハウジング２０のスライダ収容部２６に一対のスライダ６０を収容する。具体的には、一方のスライダ６０を左側のスライダ収容部２６に収容し、他方のスライダ６０を右側のスライダ収容部２６に収容する。このとき、各スライダ６０の姿勢を、ラック６４が上端になるようにするとともに、ラック６４を左右方向外側に臨む向きにする。そして、各スライダ６０の係止凸部６６を後側の第１係止凹部２６Ａに嵌合させる（図１０参照）。こうして、各スライダ６０をスライダ収容部２６における初期位置に保持した状態で収容する。 Next, the pair of sliders 60 are accommodated in the slider accommodating portion 26 of the housing 20. Specifically, one slider 60 is accommodated in the slider accommodating section 26 on the left side, and the other slider 60 is accommodated in the slider accommodating section 26 on the right side. At this time, the posture of each slider 60 is such that the rack 64 is at the upper end, and the rack 64 is oriented outward in the left-right direction. Then, the locking protrusion 66 of each slider 60 is fitted into the first locking recess 26A on the rear side (see FIG. 10). In this way, each slider 60 is accommodated in the slider accommodating portion 26 while being held at the initial position.
　次に、電線カバー２２をハウジング２０に取り付ける。先ず、電線カバー２２の支軸３８を下端部に位置する向きにしつつ、第２壁部２２Ｂを前側に配置して、電線導出口２２Ｄを後側に配置した姿勢にする。そして、電線カバー２２をハウジング２０の上方から接近させる。すると、図１１に示すように、レバー４０の左側の作用部４２のギヤ４４が一方のスライダ６０のラック６４に噛み合い、レバー４０の右側の作用部４２のギヤ４４が他方のスライダ６０のラック６４に噛み合う。こうして、一対のギヤ４４を一対のラック６４に個別に噛み合わせた状態にする。これとともに、第２壁部２２Ｂの係止孔３８Ａに前側の短辺面部２５の突部２５Ａが挿入され、電線カバー２２の第１壁部２２Ａの爪部３７Ａが後側の短辺面部２５側に位置する溝２４Ａに係止される（図５参照）。こうして、電線導出口２２Ｄが後側に配置された姿勢で電線カバー２２をハウジング２０に対して取り付ける。 Next, the wire cover 22 is attached to the housing 20. First, the support shaft 38 of the electric wire cover 22 is oriented to be located at the lower end, the second wall portion 22B is placed on the front side, and the electric wire outlet 22D is placed on the rear side. Then, the wire cover 22 is approached from above the housing 20. Then, as shown in FIG. 11, the gear 44 of the left action section 42 of the lever 40 engages with the rack 64 of one slider 60, and the gear 44 of the right action section 42 of the lever 40 engages the rack 64 of the other slider 60. mesh with each other. In this way, the pair of gears 44 are individually engaged with the pair of racks 64. At the same time, the protrusion 25A of the front short side surface 25 is inserted into the locking hole 38A of the second wall 22B, and the claw 37A of the first wall 22A of the wire cover 22 is inserted into the locking hole 38A of the second wall 22B. It is locked in the groove 24A located at (see FIG. 5). In this way, the wire cover 22 is attached to the housing 20 with the wire outlet 22D disposed on the rear side.
　ここで、一方のスライダ６０を左側のスライダ収容部２６に収容し、他方のスライダ６０を右側のスライダ収容部２６に収容した状態で、第２壁部２２Ｂを後側に配置し、電線導出口２２Ｄを前側に配置した姿勢にして電線カバー２２をハウジング２０の上方から接近させる。この場合、図１２に示すように、ギヤ４４とラック６４とがぶつかり噛み合わない。このように、一方のスライダ６０を左側のスライダ収容部２６に収容し、他方のスライダ６０を右側のスライダ収容部２６に収容した状態では、電線カバー２２は、電線導出口２２Ｄを後側に配置してハウジング２０に組み付けることが許容され、電線導出口２２Ｄを前側に配置して組み付けることが阻止される。 Here, with one slider 60 accommodated in the left slider accommodating section 26 and the other slider 60 accommodated in the right slider accommodating section 26, the second wall section 22B is arranged on the rear side, and the electric wire outlet The wire cover 22 is approached from above the housing 20 with the wire cover 22D placed on the front side. In this case, as shown in FIG. 12, the gear 44 and the rack 64 collide and do not mesh with each other. In this way, when one slider 60 is accommodated in the left slider accommodating part 26 and the other slider 60 is accommodated in the right slider accommodating part 26, the electric wire cover 22 has the electric wire outlet 22D arranged on the rear side. It is permitted to assemble the electric wire outlet 22D to the housing 20, and it is prohibited to assemble the electric wire outlet 22D by arranging it on the front side.
　また、一方のスライダ６０を右側のスライダ収容部２６に収容し、他方のスライダ６０を左側のスライダ収容部２６に収容して、各スライダ６０の係止凸部６６を前側の第２係止凹部２６Ｂに嵌合させる。この場合、電線カバー２２は、ハウジング２０に対し、電線導出口２２Ｄを前側に配置して組み付けることが許容され、電線導出口２２Ｄを後側に配置して組み付けることが阻止される。つまり、各スライダ収容部２６に対して各スライダ６０を挿入する組み合わせを変更することによって電線カバー２２は、前後方向（スライダ６０の移動方向）において反転した向きに組付け可能である。 Also, one slider 60 is accommodated in the slider accommodating portion 26 on the right side, the other slider 60 is accommodated in the slider accommodating portion 26 on the left side, and the locking convex portion 66 of each slider 60 is inserted into the second locking recess on the front side. 26B. In this case, the wire cover 22 is allowed to be assembled to the housing 20 with the wire outlet 22D disposed on the front side, and is prevented from being assembled with the wire outlet 22D disposed on the rear side. That is, by changing the combination in which each slider 60 is inserted into each slider accommodating portion 26, the electric wire cover 22 can be assembled in the reverse direction in the front-back direction (the moving direction of the slider 60).
［ハウジングと相手側ハウジングとを嵌合させる工程の一例］
　次に、電線カバー２２が取り付けられたハウジング２０を相手側ハウジング１００に嵌合させる。レバー４０が初期位置にある状態で、ハウジング２０と、相手側ハウジング１００とを浅く嵌合させる。すると、スライダ６０の各カム溝６３内に下方から各カムフォロア１０４が進入する。そして、レバー４０の操作部４１を電線導出口２２Ｄに近づける向きに支軸３８周りに回転させる。すると、レバー４０に付与された回転力がギヤ４４及びラック６４を介してスライダ６０に伝達され、スライダ６０がスライダ収容部２６内を前側に直線移動する。これによって、各カム溝６３に沿って各カムフォロア１０４が相対的に移動し、ハウジング２０、及び相手側ハウジング１００の嵌合が進行する。 [An example of the process of fitting the housing and the mating housing]
Next, the housing 20 to which the wire cover 22 is attached is fitted into the mating housing 100. With the lever 40 at the initial position, the housing 20 and the mating housing 100 are shallowly fitted. Then, each cam follower 104 enters into each cam groove 63 of the slider 60 from below. Then, the operating portion 41 of the lever 40 is rotated around the support shaft 38 in a direction to bring it closer to the wire outlet 22D. Then, the rotational force applied to the lever 40 is transmitted to the slider 60 via the gear 44 and the rack 64, and the slider 60 linearly moves forward within the slider accommodating portion 26. As a result, each cam follower 104 moves relatively along each cam groove 63, and the fitting between the housing 20 and the mating housing 100 progresses.
　そして、レバー４０の操作部４１が電線導出口２２Ｄ側に近接した位置に至る（図１３参照）。このとき、各カム溝６３の奥端に各カムフォロア１０４が至ってハウジング２０と、相手側ハウジング１００とが正規に嵌合され、雌雄の両端子金具が正規の深さで接続される。レバー４０の操作部４１が電線導出口２２Ｄ側に近接した状態は、嵌合完了位置である。 Then, the operating portion 41 of the lever 40 reaches a position close to the wire outlet 22D (see FIG. 13). At this time, each cam follower 104 reaches the inner end of each cam groove 63, and the housing 20 and the mating housing 100 are properly fitted, and both male and female terminal fittings are connected at a regular depth. A state in which the operating portion 41 of the lever 40 is close to the wire outlet 22D is a mating completion position.
　また、ハウジング２０と、相手側ハウジング１００とが正規に嵌合された状態において、レバー４０の操作部４１を第２壁部２２Ｂに近づける向きに支軸３８周りに回転させる。すると、レバー４０に付与された回転力がギヤ４４及びラック６４を介してスライダ６０に伝達され、スライダ６０がスライダ収容部２６内を後側に移動する。これによって、各カム溝６３に沿って各カムフォロア１０４が相対的に移動し、ハウジング２０、及び相手側ハウジング１００の離脱が進行する。 In addition, in a state where the housing 20 and the mating housing 100 are properly fitted, the operating portion 41 of the lever 40 is rotated around the support shaft 38 in a direction to bring it closer to the second wall portion 22B. Then, the rotational force applied to the lever 40 is transmitted to the slider 60 via the gear 44 and the rack 64, and the slider 60 moves rearward within the slider accommodating portion 26. As a result, each cam follower 104 moves relatively along each cam groove 63, and separation of the housing 20 and the mating housing 100 progresses.
　次に、実施形態１の作用を説明する。 Next, the operation of the first embodiment will be explained.
　レバー式コネクタ１０は、相手側ハウジング１００と嵌合可能なハウジング２０と、一対のスライダ６０と、電線カバー２２と、レバー４０と、を備える。一対のスライダ６０は、相手側ハウジング１００のカムフォロア１０４を摺動させるカム溝６３と、一対のラック６４とを有し、ハウジング２０に対して直線移動を可能に設けられる。電線カバー２２は、ハウジング２０に対して、ハウジング２０の電線引き出し面３５を覆うように、且つスライダ６０の移動方向において反転した向きに組付け可能である。レバー４０は、電線カバー２２に回転可能に取り付けられ、一対のギヤ４４を有する。レバー式コネクタ１０は、一対のギヤ４４を一対のラック６４に個別に噛み合わせた状態でレバー４０を回転させることによって、レバー４０の回転力がスライダ６０に伝達され、相手側ハウジング１００とハウジング２０とが嵌合及び離脱されるようになっている。一対のギヤ４４は、非対称に形成され、一対のラック６４は、非対称に形成されている。この構成によれば、一対のギヤ４４が非対称に形成され、一対のラック６４が非対称に形成されているので、レバー４０が取り付けられた電線カバー２２を指定された向きと反転してハウジング２０に組付けようとしても、ギヤ４４とラック６４が噛み合わなくなる。よって、レバー４０とスライダ６０が不適切な向きで噛み合うことを防止することができる。 The lever-type connector 10 includes a housing 20 that can be fitted with a mating housing 100, a pair of sliders 60, a wire cover 22, and a lever 40. The pair of sliders 60 have a cam groove 63 for sliding the cam follower 104 of the mating housing 100 and a pair of racks 64, and are provided so as to be movable linearly with respect to the housing 20. The wire cover 22 can be attached to the housing 20 so as to cover the wire drawing surface 35 of the housing 20 and in an opposite direction in the moving direction of the slider 60. The lever 40 is rotatably attached to the wire cover 22 and has a pair of gears 44 . In the lever type connector 10, by rotating the lever 40 with a pair of gears 44 individually engaged with a pair of racks 64, the rotational force of the lever 40 is transmitted to the slider 60, and the mating housing 100 and the housing 20 are rotated. and can be fitted and separated. The pair of gears 44 are asymmetrically formed, and the pair of racks 64 are asymmetrically formed. According to this configuration, since the pair of gears 44 are formed asymmetrically and the pair of racks 64 are formed asymmetrically, the wire cover 22 to which the lever 40 is attached can be reversed from the specified direction and attached to the housing 20. Even if an attempt is made to assemble the gear 44 and the rack 64 will not mesh with each other. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the lever 40 and the slider 60 from engaging in an inappropriate orientation.
　一対のギヤ４４、及び一対のラック６４は、同じピッチである。一対のギヤ４４は、互いに支軸３８周りの周方向にずれるように配置され、一対のスライダ６０がハウジング２０に対して所定の初期位置に配置された状態において、一対のラック６４は、互いにスライダ６０の移動方向にずれるように配置される。この構成によれば、一対のギヤ４４、及び一対のラック６４は、同じピッチなので、異なるピッチで設計するのに比べて、設計し易い。 The pair of gears 44 and the pair of racks 64 have the same pitch. The pair of gears 44 are arranged to be offset from each other in the circumferential direction around the support shaft 38, and when the pair of sliders 60 are arranged at a predetermined initial position with respect to the housing 20, the pair of racks 64 are arranged so as to be offset from each other in the circumferential direction around the support shaft 38. 60 in the direction of movement. According to this configuration, the pair of gears 44 and the pair of racks 64 have the same pitch, so it is easier to design them than if they were designed with different pitches.
　一対のスライダ６０は、ハウジング２０の内部に収容されている。この構成によれば、ハウジング２０からスライダ６０が突出しないのでレバー式コネクタ１０としての外形を抑えやすい。 The pair of sliders 60 are housed inside the housing 20. According to this configuration, since the slider 60 does not protrude from the housing 20, the external shape of the lever type connector 10 can be easily suppressed.
　相手側ハウジング１００は、回路基板に固定されるものであり、一対のスライダ６０は、ハウジング２０に対して、スライダ６０の移動方向において反転して組み付け可能である。この構成によれば、回路基板に対するハウジング２０の向きは、回路基板に固定された相手側ハウジング１００の向きによって決まる。ハウジング２０におけるスライダ６０の嵌合時及び離脱時の移動方向によって、レバー４０の嵌合時及び離脱時の回転方向が決まる。レバー４０の回転方向が決まると、電線を導出させる向き（ハウジング２０に対する電線カバー２２の組付けの向き）が決まる。このレバー式コネクタ１０は、スライダ６０をスライダ６０の移動方向において反転して組み付けることが可能なので、ハウジング２０の向きが決まっていても、電線の導出方向を任意に設定することができる。 The mating housing 100 is fixed to the circuit board, and the pair of sliders 60 can be assembled to the housing 20 by being reversed in the moving direction of the sliders 60. According to this configuration, the orientation of the housing 20 with respect to the circuit board is determined by the orientation of the mating housing 100 fixed to the circuit board. The direction of movement of the slider 60 in the housing 20 when it is fitted and removed determines the direction of rotation of the lever 40 when it is fitted and removed. When the rotation direction of the lever 40 is determined, the direction in which the electric wire is led out (the direction in which the electric wire cover 22 is assembled to the housing 20) is determined. Since this lever-type connector 10 can be assembled with the slider 60 reversed in the moving direction of the slider 60, even if the orientation of the housing 20 is determined, the direction in which the electric wires are led out can be arbitrarily set.
