DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[Description of Embodiments of the Invention]

First, embodiments of the present invention will be described by way of examples.

The connector of the present invention,

(1) A device comprising: a housing for housing a conductive member; and a conductive shield member located on an outer peripheral side of the conductive member and held in a press-fitted state inside the housing.

The shielding member can shield the conductive member from electromagnetic noise. Since the shielding member is arranged inside the housing, interference with external foreign matter can be avoided. As a result, shielding performance can be improved. Moreover, since the shielding member is held inside the housing in a pressed state, it can be prevented from detaching from the housing.

(2) Preferably, the housing is composed of an inner housing for locking terminal parts of the conductive member and an outer housing for surrounding the outer circumference of the inner housing, and the shielding member is plate-shaped and arranged in a gap between the inner housing and the outer housing.

By utilizing the gap between the inner housing and the outer housing, the plate-shaped shield member can be assembled to the housing, so it is not necessary to provide a complicated structure for assembling the shield member to the housing.

(3) Preferably, the shield member has a press-fit protrusion, and the press-fit protrusion is locked to the inner surface of the outer shell.

The press-fitting protrusion is locked to the inner surface of the outer housing, so that the shield member can be maintained in a pressed-fit state with respect to the housing.

(4) Preferably, the shielding member has a pair of side plates with plate surfaces facing each other, the pair of side plates are arranged on both sides of the conductive member, and the press-fit protrusion protrudes along the plate surface of each of the pair of side plates.

Since the press-in protrusions are formed on the pair of side plates, respectively, the shielding member can be held in the housing in a well-balanced manner. In addition, since the press-in protrusions protrude along the plate surface of the side plate, the structure of the shielding member will not be complicated when the press-in protrusions are formed.

(5) Preferably, the shielding member comprises: a pair of side plates, with the plate surfaces facing each other and extending from one end to the other end; a one-end connecting portion and an other-end connecting portion, respectively connecting a portion on the one end side and a portion on the other end side of a pair of side plates; and an intermediate connecting portion, connecting a portion between the one-end connecting portion and the other-end connecting portion of a pair of side plates, wherein the intermediate connecting portion becomes a supporting portion capable of supporting the inner shell.

Since the shielding member has one end connection part and the other end connection part, the shielding performance of one end side and the other end side of the conductive member can be further enhanced. In addition, since the support part as the intermediate connection part can support the inner shell, the inner shell can be stably accommodated inside the outer shell.

(6) Preferably, the shielding member is in the shape of a plate extending from one end to the other end, and has a blocking portion on the plate thickness surface on the other end side facing the wire leading out of the conductive member, and the blocking portion can contact the inner surface of the outer shell.

By inserting the shielding member into the gap between the inner shell and the outer shell, the stopper contacts the inner surface of the outer shell, thereby stopping the insertion of the shielding member and positioning the shielding member inside the shell. Since the stopper is formed on the plate thickness surface of the shielding member, the required strength when contacting the inner surface of the outer shell can be ensured.

The shielding member of the present invention,

(7) is a shielding component of a conductive plate material, which is arranged inside a shell that accommodates the conductive component, and the shielding component comprises: a pair of side plates with the plate surfaces facing each other and extending from one end to the other end; a one-end connecting portion and an other-end connecting portion, which respectively connect the portion on the one end side and the portion on the other end side of the pair of side plates; and an intermediate connecting portion, which connects the portion between the one-end connecting portion and the other-end connecting portion of the pair of side plates.

Since the shielding member is arranged inside the shell, interference with external foreign matter can be avoided, so the shielding performance can be improved. Since the shielding member has a one-end connecting portion and a second-end connecting portion, the shielding performance of the one-end side and the second-end side of the conductive member can be further enhanced. In addition, for example, when the shell is composed of an inner shell and an outer shell, and the shielding member is arranged in the gap between the inner shell and the outer shell, the intermediate connecting portion can be arranged at a position that can support the inner shell. As a result, the inner shell can be stably accommodated inside the outer shell.

(8) Preferably, each of the pair of side plates has a press-fit protrusion that protrudes along the plate surface of the side plate.

The press-in protrusion is locked to the inner surface of the shell, so that the shielding member can be maintained in a pressed state relative to the shell. Since the press-in protrusions are formed on the pair of side plates, the shielding member is well-balanced and held on the shell. In addition, since the press-in protrusions protrude along the plate surface of the side plate, the structure of the shielding member will not be complicated when the press-in protrusions are formed.

(9) Preferably, each of the pair of side plates has a stopper portion on a plate thickness surface facing the other end side, which is the wire lead-out side, of the conductive member.

When the shielding member is assembled inside the housing, the blocking portion contacts the inner surface of the housing, thereby stopping the assembly of the shielding member and positioning the shielding member inside the housing. Since the blocking portion is formed on the plate thickness surface of the shielding member, the required strength when contacting the inner surface of the housing can be ensured.

(10) Preferably, a space is formed between the one-end connecting portion and the intermediate connecting portion and between the other-end connecting portion and the intermediate connecting portion.

These spaces can reduce the weight of the shielding member.

Furthermore, a rear retaining body 65 made of synthetic resin for preventing the waterproof member 80 from falling off is attached to the rear end portion of the outer casing main body 49 .

(Shielding member)

The shielding member 20 is formed as a whole by bending a conductive metal plate, and is formed in a manner extending long from the front end (one end) to the other end (rear end) as shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7. The shielding member 20 has a pair of side plates 21 facing each other in the left-right direction. Each side plate 21 has a shape in which the plate surface faces the left-right direction and extends long in the front-back direction, and has a front-back length exceeding the front-back length of the inner housing 42.

In addition, the shielding member 20 has a one-end connecting portion 22 connecting the front end portion (part on one end side) of each side plate 21, a second end connecting portion 23 connecting the rear end portion (part on the other end side) of each side plate 21, and a middle connecting portion 24 connecting the front and rear middle portions between the one-end connecting portion 22 and the second end connecting portion 23 of each side plate 21. The middle connecting portion 24 is arranged on the front side relative to the center in the longitudinal direction of the shielding member 20. In the shielding member 20, a space 25 is formed between the one-end connecting portion 22 and the middle connecting portion 24 and between the middle connecting portion 24 and the second end connecting portion 23, respectively, and is open in the up-down direction. The intervals in the left-right direction of each side plate 21 are maintained by the one-end connecting portion 22, the second end connecting portion 23, and the middle connecting portion 24, respectively.

As shown in Fig. 6 and Fig. 7, each side plate 21 has a pair of main body side plate portions 26 located at the rear end, a pair of cover side plate portions 27 located at the front end, and a pair of bending portions 28 located between each cover side plate portion 27 and each main body side plate portion 26 in the front-to-back direction. Each main body side plate portion 26 is arranged in a manner extending long and parallel to each other in the front-to-back direction. Each cover side plate portion 27 is shorter than each main body side plate portion 26 in the front-to-back direction, and is arranged parallel to each main body side plate portion 26 at intervals in the left-to-right direction. Each bending portion 28 expands in the left-to-right direction from each main body side plate portion 26 toward each cover side plate portion 27.

As shown in Fig. 6 and Fig. 12, an expansion portion 37 extending downward from between the bent portion 28 and the intermediate connecting portion 24 is formed at the lower edge of the front end of each main body side plate portion 26. A press-in protrusion 29 is formed at the lower edge of each expansion portion 37. The press-in protrusion 29 is arranged along the plate surface of each main body side plate portion 26 in a manner that is continuous with the surrounding portion of the cover side plate portion 27 without a step. As shown in Fig. 10, the press-in protrusion 29 is triangular in shape when viewed from the side, and has a stopper surface 31 that is inclined forward in an inverted cone shape toward the bottom.

As shown in Fig. 6, a stopper piece 32 is formed protrudingly at the upper edge of the front end of each main body side plate portion 26. As shown in Fig. 8, the stopper piece 32 is L-shaped in front view, and has a portion rising upward and a portion protruding inward in the left-right direction (opposite direction) of each main body side plate portion 26. The rear end of the stopper piece 32 is a plate thickness surface, which constitutes a stopper portion 33 facing rearward.

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 8 , the one-end connecting portion 22 is U-shaped in front view, and integrally includes a one-end bridging portion 34 bridging in the left-right direction between the lower ends of the paired portions protruding downward from the front ends of the cover side plates 27 .

As shown in Fig. 6, the intermediate connecting portion 24 has an intermediate bridging portion 35 bridging along the left-right direction between the lower ends of the front end portions of the main body side plates 26 and the portions behind the press-fit protrusions 29. The intermediate bridging portion 35 is a pair of plate portions on the left and right sides, butted against each other at the center portion in the left-right direction between the main body side plates 26.

The other end connecting portion 23 has another end mounting portion 36 mounted in the left-right direction between the lower ends of the rear ends of the main body side plates 26. The other end mounting portion 36 is also a plate portion in pairs on the left and right sides, butted against each other in the center of the left-right direction between the main body side plates 26.

As shown in Fig. 7, the plate width of the other end connecting portion 23 in the front-to-back direction is larger than the plate width of each of the one end connecting portion 22 and the intermediate connecting portion 24 in the front-to-back direction. As shown in Fig. 8, the intermediate mounting portion 35 is arranged above the one end mounting portion 34 and the other end mounting portion 36. The one end mounting portion 34 is arranged below the intermediate mounting portion 35 and the other end mounting portion 36.

<Connector assembly method, fitting structure and function>

First, the terminal parts 62 connected to the ends of the two electric wires 61 are accommodated in the cavities 45 of the inner housing 42. Next, the inner housing 42 is inserted into the interior of the outer housing 41 from the rear. The locking protrusion 48 of the inner housing 42 is locked to the locking arm 52 of the upper housing, so that the inner housing 42 is kept in a state of being restricted from falling off to the rear relative to the outer housing 41 (refer to FIG. 1). The tabs 63 of each terminal part 62 are protected by the lower member 43 in position (refer to FIG. 2). The waterproof member 80 is inserted into the rear end side of the outer housing body 49, and the rear retaining body 65 is further installed to restrict the waterproof member 80 from falling off.

As shown in FIG11 , when the inner housing 42 is assembled to the outer housing 41, a gap G is formed between the outer circumferential surface of the inner housing 42 and the inner circumferential surface of the outer housing body 49. The gap G is open to the front and closed at the rear end by the waterproof member 80 (see FIG2 ). The minimum value of the gap G corresponds to the plate thickness of the shielding member 20.

Next, the shielding member 20 is inserted from the front into the gap G between the inner housing 42 and the outer housing body 49. During the insertion of the shielding member 20, each press-in protrusion 29 contacts and is pressed into the receiving surface 55 of the outer housing body 49. Then, the blocking portion 33 of each stopper piece 32 contacts face-to-face with each stopper surface 54 of the outer housing body 49 from the front (refer to FIGS. 9 and 10), and the insertion of the shielding member 20 stops. Thus, the shielding member 20 is properly assembled inside the housing 40. At this time, the outer housing body 49 is locked by the locking surface 31 of each press-in protrusion 29, so that the shielding member 20 is kept in a state of being restricted from falling off forward relative to the housing 40 (refer to FIG. 10).

As shown in FIG. 2 , the shielding member 20 is located in front of the waterproof member 80 inside the housing 40 and is arranged to be in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the inner housing 42. The main body side plate portions 26, the intermediate connecting portion 24, and the other end connecting portion 23 are arranged in the gap G between the outer peripheral surface of the inner housing 42 and the inner peripheral surface of the outer housing main body 49. The cover side plate portions 27 and the one end connecting portion 22 are arranged inside the cover portion 51. The one end connecting portion 22 is arranged in front of the inner housing 42.

The intermediate connecting portion 24 is configured to be able to contact and support the front end side of the lower surface of the lower member 43 in the inner housing 42 (see FIG. 12 ). The other end connecting portion 23 is configured to contact and support the rear end side of the lower surface of the lower member 43 in the inner housing 42. The inner housing 42 is housed inside the outer housing 41 in a state where the inclination in the vertical direction is restricted by the intermediate connecting portion 24 and the other end connecting portion 23. In addition, each cover side plate portion 27 and the one end connecting portion 22 are respectively configured to contact the end surface of each engaging portion 57 (see FIG. 13 ).

Next, the mating connector 100 is mated with the housing 40. During the mating process of the mating connector 100, the mating inner housing 142 presses the lower member 43 to move it to the retracted position. When the mating connector 100 is properly mated, the mating locking portion 144 is configured to be able to be locked with the connector locking portion 56 of the housing 40, and the mating housing 140 and the housing 40 are kept in a mating state (see FIG. 1). The tabs 63 that connect the terminal parts 62 are inserted into the box parts 163 of the terminal parts 162 of each mating side.

When the mating connector 100 is properly mated, as shown in FIG. 13 , the shield member 20 is sandwiched between the mating housing body 149 and the cover 51 via the respective engaging portions 57. The respective cover side plates 27 and the one-end connecting portion 22 are arranged along the outer peripheral surface of the mating housing body 149. In addition, the respective cover side plates 27 and the one-end connecting portion 22 are located behind the connector sealing member 90 (the rear side viewed from the housing 40 side) and are arranged close to the connection portion between the respective terminal parts 62 and the respective mating terminal parts 162. The respective body side plates 26 and the other-end connecting portion 23 are arranged close to the connection portion between the respective terminal parts 62 and the respective electric wires 61.

The shielding member 20 is disposed on the untwisted portion of each electric wire 61 exposed from the sheath 64, the untwisted portion of each other-side electric wire 161 exposed from the other-side sheath 164, each terminal part 62, and the outer peripheral side of each other-side terminal part 162. Thus, the shielding member 20 can shield and protect the conductive member 60 housed inside the housing 40 from electromagnetic noise, and can suppress the noise generated inside the housing 40 from being radiated to the outside.

In the case of the first embodiment, the shielding member 20 is plate-shaped, and a space 25 is formed between the one-end connecting portion 22 and the other-end connecting portion 23 and between the other-end connecting portion 23 and the intermediate connecting portion 24. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the weight of the shielding member 20. In addition, since the plate-shaped shielding member 20 is inserted into the gap G between the inner housing 42 and the outer housing 41, it is not necessary to provide a complicated structure for assembling the shielding member 20 in the housing 40.

As described above, according to the present embodiment 1, since the shielding member 20 is arranged inside the shell 40, interference between the shielding member 20 and external foreign matter can be avoided, and the shielding performance can be improved. In addition, since the shielding member 20 is held inside the shell 40 in a pressed state, it can be prevented from detaching from the shell 40. In particular, the pressed state of the shielding member 20 relative to the shell 40 can be maintained more stably and reliably by the stopper surface 31 of each press-in protrusion 29 being stopped on the inner surface of the outer shell 41. In addition, since each press-in protrusion 29 is formed along the plate surface of each side plate 21 of the shielding member 20, the structure of the shielding member 20 will not be complicated when each press-in protrusion 29 is formed.

In addition, the stopper 33 of each stopper piece 32 contacts the stopper surfaces 54 of the outer shell 41, so that the shielding member 20 can be positioned inside the housing 40. Since the stopper 33 of each stopper piece 32 is formed on the plate thickness surface of the shielding member 20, the required strength when contacting the stopper surfaces 54 of the outer shell 41 can be ensured.
