[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a molded connector in which a terminal fitting is packaged with a resin mold.
[0002]
[Prior art]
For example, as a means for connecting the connector of the wire harness to the inverter in an electric vehicle, by connecting a terminal fitting to the terminal portion of the electric wire, and covering the electric wire connecting portion and the terminal portion of the electric wire with the resin mold A structure is conceivable in which a molded connector is manufactured and the exterior body of the molded connector is fitted into the mounting hole of the inverter case, and the device connection part protruding from the tip of the molded connector is fixed to the terminal block in the inverter case. It has been.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
As the terminal fitting used in the above structure, it is conceivable to use a general-purpose shape obtained by bending a plate material punched into a predetermined shape by a press. This is a form in which the wire connection part has an open barrel shape, and the flat device connection part is extended to the bottom wall of the wire connection part. In the state where the electric wire is crimped, the center of the electric wire and the center of the device connecting portion are offset. On the other hand, the resin-made exterior body is formed concentrically with the electric wire because the deformation amount due to sink marks at the time of resin molding is made uniform by making the thickness of the exterior body uniform.
[0004]
For this reason, if the device connecting portion is caused to pass through the mounting hole so that the mounting hole and the exterior body are concentric, the device connecting portion passes through a position off the center of the mounting hole. Therefore, when the device connection part is wide or the wire is thick and the device connection part has a large amount of eccentricity, it is necessary to increase the inner diameter of the mounting hole, and as a result, the outer casing also increases in diameter. As a result, there is a problem that the entire molded connector is increased in size.
[0005]
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and aims to reduce the size.
[Means for Solving the Problems]

And the attachment portion is fixed to the case with a bolt so that the device connection portion is connected to the device-side terminal of the device main body, and the center of the device connection portion is the axis of the wire. Match with the heart The upper and lower pair of convex portions formed on the outer periphery of said outer body, said by press-fitting the pair of upper and lower recesses formed in the body portion, the circumferential direction is fixed to the play regulating state the outer member relative to the shield shell The device connection portion protrudes from the exterior body in a posture in which the plate surface of the device connection portion is horizontally oriented, and the device connection portion is in a state where the attachment portion is fixed to the case Thus, the device is arranged at a position overlapping the upper surface of the device side terminal.
[0006]
According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect of the invention, the device connecting portion has a flat plate shape, and the electric wire connecting portion has an open barrel shape in which caulking pieces are raised from both side edges of the bottom plate. In the case where the crimping piece is crimped so as to surround it, the bottom plate of the electric wire connection portion and the device connection portion are connected to each other by being offset by a stepped connection portion, It was set as the structure which made the center of an apparatus connection part correspond with the axial center of the said electric wire.
[0007]
According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the second aspect of the present invention, the left and right side edges of the connecting portion are formed with reinforcing portions that are connected to the front end of the crimping piece and the rear end of the device connecting portion.
[0008]
[Action and effect of the invention]
[Invention of Claims 1 and 2]
Since the center of the device connection portion is aligned with the axis of the electric wire and the exterior body, the device connection portion passes through the center of the mounting hole. Thereby, the internal diameter of a mounting hole can be restrained small, and by extension the external diameter of an exterior body can be made small and reduction in size can be achieved.
[0009]
[Invention of claim 3]
Since the reinforcing portion is formed, the deformation of the connecting portion is surely prevented, so that the device connecting portion can be reliably held concentrically with respect to the electric wire.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[Embodiment 1]
A first embodiment embodying the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.
The shield connector 20 for apparatus of this embodiment (molded connector of the present invention) is attached to an inverter device 10 (apparatus which is a constituent element of the present invention) of an electric vehicle. The inverter device 10 has an inverter main body (not shown) accommodated in a conductive shield case 11, and three circular mounting holes 12 are arranged side by side (horizontally) on the side wall of the shield case 11. A female screw hole 13 is formed above the mounting hole 12 on the outer surface of the side wall so as to form a pair of left and right bags (not open to the inner surface of the shield case 11). Inside the shield case 11, three device-side terminals 14 fixed to the inverter main body are waiting in a state where the tip end portions where the connection holes 15 are formed face the respective attachment holes 12. The device-side terminal 14 is composed of a highly rigid bus bar made of a thick metal plate material, and in a state of being fixed to the inverter main body, the plate surface is horizontally oriented and the connection hole 15 is vertically penetrated. Yes.
[0011]
The device shield connector 20 includes three electric wire side terminals 21 (terminal fittings that are constituent elements of the present invention), three housings 25 (exterior bodies that are constituent elements of the present invention), and one shield shell 30. It is prepared for.
Each electric wire side terminal 21 is made of a highly rigid bus bar made of a thick metal plate material, as in the case of the device side terminal 14, and has an elongated shape in the front-rear direction as a whole. The front end portion of the electric wire side terminal 21 is a flat device connection portion 21F, and a connection hole 22 is formed in the device connection portion 21F. At the rear end portion of the electric wire side terminal 21, an electric wire crimping portion 23 having an open barrel shape, that is, a pair of caulking pieces 23b raised from the left and right side edges of the bottom plate 23a (electric wire connection which is a component of the present invention) Part) is formed.
[0012]
Each of the electric wire side terminals 21 is fixed to an extended end portion of the electric wire 24 that does not have a shield function and is extended from a wheel motor (not shown). The electric wire 24 is obtained by covering a conductor 24A formed by twisting a plurality of metal wires with a resin insulating coating 24B, and the insulating coating 24B is peeled off at the extended end portion to expose the conductor 24A. The exposed conductor 24A is crimped by crimping the crimping piece 23b so as to be placed on the bottom plate 23a of the wire crimping portion 23 and surround the conductor 24A.
[0013]
Moreover, the apparatus connection part 21F and the bottom plate 23a of the electric wire crimping part 23 are connected to each other by a stepped connection part 21R, thereby being in a positional relationship offset from each other. Thereby, the center in the up-and-down and right-and-left direction of the apparatus connection part 21F becomes a form which corresponds with the axial center of the electric wire 24. FIG.
The three electric wire side terminals 21 are individually held in the housing 25. That is, each electric wire side terminal 21 has its electric wire crimping portion 23 and the terminal portion of the electric wire 24 crimped to the electric wire crimping portion 23 set in a mold for a housing 25 (not shown). Inside, it is integrated with the housing 25 by a resin mold. From the front end surface of the housing 25, the device connection part 21F in which the connection hole 22 of the electric wire side terminal 21 is formed is in a posture in which the plate surface is oriented horizontally (in a posture in which the connection hole 22 penetrates in the vertical direction). The electric wire 24 is led out from the rear end surface of the housing 25. That is, the housing 25 is in a form of being sheathed on the wire crimping portion 23 and the terminal portion of the wire 24.
[0014]
The housing 25 has a columnar shape with the axial center facing forward and rearward (horizontal direction) and concentric with the electric wire 24, and a seal ring 27 is attached to the seal groove 26 on the outer periphery thereof. A small-diameter portion 28 having a stepped diameter is formed on the rear end portion of the outer periphery of the housing 25, and a pair of upper and lower convex portions 29 are formed on the outer periphery of the small-diameter portion 28. The convex portion 29 has a rib shape extending in the front-rear direction, that is, in the insertion direction of the housing 25 with respect to the shield shell 30.
[0015]
The shield shell 30 is made of aluminum die-casting, and has a main body portion 31 in which three insertion holes 32 penetrating in the front-rear direction are formed side by side, and protrudes upward from the upper edge of the front end of the main body portion 31 and also in the front-rear direction. And a pair of left and right mounting portions 33 each having a plate shape with a bolt hole 34 formed therethrough. Each insertion hole 32 has a circular shape, and a central portion in the front-rear direction is a small-diameter portion 35 whose diameter is reduced stepwise and concentrically with respect to both front-rear ends, and the inner circumference of the small-diameter portion 35 A pair of upper and lower concave portions 36 is formed in the upper portion. The recess 36 has a groove shape extending in the front-rear direction, that is, in the insertion direction of the housing 25 with respect to the shield shell 30. The width of the concave portion 36 is set to be slightly smaller than the width of the convex portion 29 of the housing 25.
[0016]
Further, a terminal portion of a flexible cylindrical shield member 37 that collectively surrounds the three electric wires 24 is fixed to the outer periphery of the main body portion 31 of the shield shell 30 so as to be conductive by a caulking ring 38. Has been.
Each housing 25 is inserted into the shield shell 30 from the front with respect to each insertion hole 32. At this time, the convex portion 29 formed in the synthetic resin housing 25 is press-fitted into the concave portion 36 of the shield shell 30 made of aluminum die cast while being plastically deformed. The three press-fitted housings 25 are moved in any of the front / rear direction (insertion / removal direction of the housing 25), the upper / lower direction, and the left / right direction with respect to the shield shell 30 by frictional resistance between the convex portion 29 and the concave portion 36. Is also fixed in a state where the movement is restricted.
[0017]
In addition, the housing 25 is positioned in the circumferential direction with respect to the shield shell 30 by the fitting of the convex portion 29 and the concave portion 36, and all the electric wire side terminals 21 face the plate surface horizontally and the connection holes 22 are directed in the vertical direction. The posture is to penetrate. Thus, the device shield connector 20 in which the three electric wire side terminals 21, the three housings 25, and the shield shell 30 are integrated is completed.
When the device shield connector 20 of the present embodiment having the above configuration is attached to the inverter device 10, each housing 25 is fitted into the attachment hole 12, and the attachment portion 33 of the shield shell 30 is attached to the outer surface of the shield case 11. The bolt hole 34 of the shield shell 30 is aligned with the female screw hole 13 of the shield case 11. In this state, the seal ring 27 seals between the outer periphery of the housing 25 and the inner periphery of the mounting hole 12 in a watertight state. In addition, each electric wire side terminal 21 is set so as to overlap the upper surface of the device side terminal 14, and the connection holes 15 and 22 of both the terminals 14 and 21 correspond to each other coaxially.
[0018]
From this state, when the bolt 39 passed through the bolt hole 34 of the shield shell 30 is screwed into the female screw hole 13 of the shield case 11 and tightened, the three housings 25 are fixed to the shield case 11 and the shield shell 30 is connected to the shield case 11 in a conductive manner. Furthermore, the terminals 14 and 21 that overlap vertically are connected to each other so as to be conductive by screwing and tightening a nut 41 to a bolt 40 that passes through the connection holes 15 and 22.
[0019]
As described above, in the shield connector for equipment 20 according to the present embodiment, the shield shell 30 is made of aluminum die cast, so that the rigidity is higher than the housing 25 made of synthetic resin, so that the shield shell 30 is deformed. Therefore, the housing 25 and the shield shell 30 can be reliably and reliably assembled without being detached from the housing 25.
Further, when the housing 25 is inserted into the insertion hole 32 of the shield shell 30, the frictional resistance caused by the press-fitting between the housing 25 and the shield shell 30 is caused by the convex portion 29 and the concave portion 36. Since only the portion is sufficient, compared with the case where the entire outer peripheral surface of the housing is slidably contacted with the entire inner peripheral surface of the insertion hole without providing the convex portion 29 and the concave portion 36, the resistance at the time of press-fitting is small. Yes.
[0020]
In addition, since the concave portion 36 that fits the convex portion 29 is provided on the other side of the convex portion 29, the convex portion 29 and the concave portion 36 are positioned in the circumferential direction between the housing 25 and the shield shell 30. Demonstrate. That is, since the convex portion 29 that exhibits the press-fitting function also has a positioning function, the shape of the housing 25 and the shield shell 30 is compared to a case where a dedicated positioning function portion or a misassembly function portion is provided separately from the convex portion 29. Simplification is realized.
[0021]
In addition, since the center of the device connection portion 21F is aligned with the axis of the electric wire 24 and the housing 25, the device connection portion 21F passes through the center of the mounting hole 12. As a result, the inner diameter of the mounting hole 12 can be kept small, and as a result, the outer diameter of the housing 25 can be reduced to achieve downsizing.

Terminal processing has been done. And this exposed conductor 80a is crimped | bonded by crimping the crimping piece 76 so that it may rest on the bottom plate 75 of the electric wire connection part 74, and may surround the conductor 80a.
[0025]
Further, a conductive sleeve 81 is fitted on the outer periphery of the core 80b, and the rear end portion of the sleeve 81 is embedded in the gap between the core 80b and the shield layer 80c. A sex caulking tube 82 is externally fitted.
