Hereinafter, although an embodiment of the present invention is described, the present invention is not limited to the following embodiment.

(1) 1st Embodiment FIG. 1: is a figure which shows the connector apparatus of the 1st Embodiment of this invention.
FIG. 1 shows a connector device 10 and cables 21 to 2N connected to the connector device 10. First, the structure of the cables 21 to 2N will be described. Since the cables 21 to 2N have the same structure, in the following description, the structure of the cable 21 will be described as a representative.

FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of the structure of the cable 21.
The cable 21 has a connector 21a. The connector 21a is connected to the connector 11 of the connector device 10 (see, for example, FIG. 1). The connector 21a includes an RFID (Radio
Frequency IDentification) chip 21b is embedded. Identification information ID for identifying the connector 21a of the cable 21 from the connector of another cable is recorded on the RFID chip 21b. In the first embodiment, for convenience of explanation, the identification information ID is represented by the code of each connector. For example, the identification information ID recorded on the RFID chip 21b is “ID: 21a”.

  Although the cable 21 is described in FIG. 2, the identification information is also recorded on the RFID chips 21b to 2Nb embedded in the other cables 22 to 2N. FIG. 3 shows identification information recorded on each RFID chip. From FIG. 3, it can be seen that identification information for identifying the connector of the cable from the connectors of other cables is recorded in the RFID chips 21b to 2Nb.

Next, the connector device 10 will be described.
FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of the connector device 10.
The connector device 10 includes a panel 100 having a plurality of connectors 11 to 1N. The connectors 11 to 1N provided on the panel 100 correspond to the connectors 21a to 2Na (see FIG. 1) of the cables 21 to 2N, respectively. The connectors 21a to 2Na of the cables 21 to 2N are connected to the connector 11 of the connector device 10. It is determined in advance which connector of 1N is connected. For example, the connector 21 a of the cable 21 is connected to the connector 11 of the connector device 10, and the connector 2 Na of the cable 2 N is connected to the connector 1 N of the connector device 10.

  In addition to the connectors 11 to 1Na, the panel 100 of the connector device 10 includes an identification information detection unit 101, a control unit 102, and light emitting elements 11a to 1Na provided corresponding to the connectors 11 to 1N. Has been.

  The identification information detecting unit 101 wirelessly communicates with the RFID chips 21b to 2Nb (see FIG. 1) embedded in the connectors 21a to 2Na of the cables 21 to 2N, thereby obtaining the identification information recorded on the RFID chips 21b to 2Nb. To detect. In the first embodiment, the maximum detection distance of the identification information detection unit 101 is set to several meters. Accordingly, the identification information detection unit 101 detects the identification information when the RFID chips 21b to 2Nb of the connectors 21a to 2Na of the cables 21 to 2N approach a range of several meters.

The control unit 102 has a storage unit 103.
The storage unit 103 stores a correspondence relationship between the identification information ID stored in the RFID chips 21 b to 2 Nb of the connectors 21 a to 2 Na of the cables 21 to 2 N and the connectors 11 to 1 N of the connector device 10. FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the correspondence relationship stored in the storage unit 103. Referring to FIG. 5, it can be seen that different connectors are associated with each other according to the identification information ID.

The control unit 102 refers to the correspondence relationship stored in the storage unit 103 and identifies a connector corresponding to the identification information detected by the identification information detection unit 101 from the connectors 11 to 1N of the connector device 10. After specifying the connector, the control unit 102 selects only the light emitting elements provided corresponding to the specified connector from the light emitting elements 11a to 1Na provided corresponding to the connectors 11 to 1N of the connector device 10. The light emitting elements 11a to 1Na are controlled so as to blink.
The connector device 10 is configured as described above.

  Next, a procedure for connecting a cable to the connector device 10 will be described. In the following description, in order to distinguish between the connector provided on the panel 100 of the connector device 10 and the connector of the cables 21 to 2N, the connector provided on the panel 100 of the connector device 10 is “panel connector”. The connectors of the cables 21 to 2N are referred to as “cable connectors”.

  First, the operator selects a cable to be connected to the connector device 10 from the cables 21 to 2N. Here, it is assumed that the operator has selected the cable 21. The operator brings the cable 21 closer to the connector device 10 (see FIG. 6).

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a state when the operator brings the cable 21 close to the connector device 10.

  FIG. 6A shows that the distance D1 between the identification information detection unit 101 of the connector device 10 and the RFID chip 21b embedded in the cable connector 21a of the cable 21 is greater than the maximum detection distance D0 of the identification information detection unit 101. FIG. 6B is a diagram showing a state when the distance D1 is shorter than the maximum detection distance D0.

  As shown in FIG. 6A, when the distance D1 between the identification information detection unit 101 of the connector device 10 and the RFID chip 21b of the cable 21 is longer than the maximum detection distance D0, the identification information detection unit 101 The identification information ID recorded on the chip 21b cannot be detected. However, when the operator brings the cable 21 closer to the connector device 10, the distance D1 becomes shorter than the maximum detection distance D0 (see FIG. 6B). At this time, the identification information detection unit 101 detects the identification information “ID: 21a” (see FIG. 3) stored in the RFID chip 21b.

  The control unit 102 refers to the correspondence relationship stored in the storage unit 103 (see FIG. 5), and the identification information detected by the identification information detection unit 101 from the panel connectors 11 to 1Na provided in the connector device 10. The panel connector corresponding to “ID: 21a” is specified. Referring to FIG. 5, the panel connector corresponding to the identification information “ID: 21a” is the panel connector 11. Therefore, the control unit 102 blinks only the light emitting element 11a provided corresponding to the panel connector 11 among the light emitting elements 11a to 1Na provided corresponding to the panel connectors 11 to 1Na. FIG. 6B shows a state where only the light emitting element 11a is blinking. Since the light emitting element 11a blinks, the operator can be notified that the connection destination of the cable connector 21a is the panel connector 11. Therefore, the operator can easily recognize the panel connector 11 to which the cable connector 21a is connected from among the plurality of panel connectors 11 to 1N arranged in the connector device 10. When the operator connects the cable connector 21a to the panel connector 11 of the flashing light emitting element 11a, the connection work of the cable 21 is completed.

  Although the case where the cable 21 is connected to the connector device 10 has been described in the above description, the case where other cables 22 to 2N are connected to the connector device 10 is also connected in the same procedure.

  In the first embodiment, the operator can easily recognize the position of the panel connector to which the cable connector is connected from among the plurality of panel connectors 11 to 1N simply by bringing the cable connector closer to the connector device 10. it can. Therefore, the worker can easily perform the cable connection work.

(2) Second Embodiment FIG. 7 is a view showing a connector device according to a second embodiment of the present invention.
In the description of the second embodiment, differences from the first embodiment will be mainly described.

  In the panel 100 of the connector device 30 of the second embodiment, the connection detection units 11b to 1Nb and the control units 11c to 1Nc are mounted for each of the panel connectors 11 to 1N. It is the same structure as the connector apparatus 10 of 1 embodiment.

  The connection detection units 11b to 1Nb detect whether or not the cable connectors 21a to 2Na (see FIG. 1) are connected to the panel connectors 11 to 1N. Based on the detection results of the connection detection units 11c to 1Nc, the control units 11c to 1Nc control the light emitting elements 11a to 1Na so that the light emitting elements 11a to 1Na change from the blinking state to the lighting state.

  The procedure for connecting a cable to the connector device 30 in the second embodiment will be described below.

  First, the operator selects a cable to be connected to the connector device 30 from the cables 21 to 2N (see FIG. 1). In the second embodiment, it is assumed that the operator has selected the cable 21. The operator brings the cable 21 close to the connector device 30 (see FIG. 8).

FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the cable 21 is brought close to the connector device 30.
When the distance D1 between the identification information detection unit 101 and the RFID chip 21b of the cable 21 is shorter than the maximum detection distance D0, the light emitting element 11a blinks as described in the first embodiment.

  The operator connects the cable connector 21a to the panel connector 11 of the flashing light emitting element 11a (see FIG. 9).

  FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating a state where the cable connector 21 a is connected to the panel connector 11.

  When the cable connector 21a is connected to the panel connector 11 of the flashing light emitting element 11a, the connection detection unit 11b detects that the cable connector 21a is connected to the panel connector 11. When the connection detection unit 11b detects the connection, the control unit 11c controls the light emitting element 11a to change from the blinking state to the lighting state. In FIG. 9, the light emitting element 11a changed to the lighting state is indicated by a black circle. Since the light emitting element 11a changes from the blinking state to the lighting state, it is possible to notify the operator that the connection between the cable connector 21a and the connector device 10 is completed.

  In the second embodiment, when the connection between the cable connector and the panel connector is completed, the light emitting element changes from the blinking state to the lighting state. Therefore, the operator can know whether or not the cable connector has been securely connected to the panel connector.

(3) Third Embodiment In describing the third embodiment, differences from the first embodiment will be mainly described.

  In the first embodiment, the worker selects only one cable from the cables 21 to 2N as a cable to be connected to the connector device 10, but in the third embodiment, the worker A case where two or more cables are selected from the cables 21 to 2N will be described.

The differences between the connector device of the first embodiment and the connector device of the third embodiment are as follows.
(1) In the third embodiment, the identification information detection unit 101 measures the intensity of the received radio wave when detecting identification information.
(2) In the first embodiment, the blinking speeds of the light emitting elements 11a to 1Na are the same. In the third embodiment, the blinking speed of the light emitting elements 11a to 1Na increases as the measured radio wave intensity increases. To make it faster.

Hereinafter, when the operator selects two cables 21 and 22 as the cables to be connected to the connector device from the cables 21 to 2N, until the cables 21 and 22 are connected to the connector device 10. Explain the procedure.
The operator brings the cables 21 and 22 close to the connector device 10 (see FIG. 10).

  FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a state when the operator brings the cables 21 and 22 close to the connector device 10 ′.

  As shown in FIG. 10A, when the distance D1 between the identification information detection unit 101 and the RFID chip 21b of the cable 21 is longer than the maximum detection distance D0, the identification information detection unit 101 records on the RFID chip 21b. The identified identification information ID cannot be detected. Similarly, when the distance D2 between the identification information detection unit 101 and the RFID chip 22b of the cable 22 is longer than the maximum detection distance D0, the identification information detection unit 101 detects the identification information ID recorded on the RFID chip 22b. I can't do it. However, when the operator brings the cables 21 and 22 closer to the connector device 10, the distances D1 and D2 become shorter than the maximum detection distance D0 (see FIG. 10B). At this time, the identification information detection unit 101 detects the identification information “ID: 21a” and “ID: 22a” (see FIG. 3) stored in the RFID chips 21b and 22b of the cables 21 and 22.

  The identification information detector 101 measures the intensity of the radio wave when the identification information “ID: 21a” is detected and the intensity of the radio wave when the identification information “ID: 22a” is detected. In FIG. 10B, since the distances D1 and D2 are substantially the same distance, the radio wave intensity when the identification information “ID: 21a” is detected and the radio wave when the identification information “ID: 22a” is detected. The strength of is almost the same.

  The control unit 102 refers to the correspondence relationship (see FIG. 5) stored in the storage unit 103, and identifies the identification information “ID: 21a” and “ID” detected by the identification information detection unit 101 from the panel connectors 11 to 1N. The panel connector corresponding to “ID: 22a” is specified. Referring to FIG. 5, the panel connector corresponding to the identification information “ID: 21a” is the panel connector 11, and the panel connector corresponding to the identification information “ID: 22a” is the panel connector 12. Therefore, the control unit 102 corresponds to the light emitting element 11a provided corresponding to the panel connector 11 and the panel connector 12 among the light emitting elements 11a to 1Na provided corresponding to the panel connectors 11 to 1N. The light emitting element 12a provided is blinked.

  The control unit 102 controls the blinking speed of the light emitting element 11a based on the intensity of the radio wave when the identification information detection unit 101 detects the identification information “ID: 21a”. The blinking speed of the light emitting element 12a is controlled based on the intensity of the radio wave when the identification information “ID: 22a” is detected. In FIG. 10B, since the distances D1 and D2 are substantially the same distance, the radio wave intensity when the identification information “ID: 21a” is detected and the radio wave when the identification information “ID: 22a” is detected. The strength of is almost the same. Therefore, the control unit 102 performs control so that the blinking speeds of the light emitting elements 11a and 12a are substantially the same.

  Since only the light emitting elements 11a and 12a are blinking, the operator can easily narrow down the connection destinations of the cables 21 and 22 to the panel connectors 11 and 12 of the connector device 10 ′. However, in this state, the operator cannot recognize which of the panel connectors 11 and 12 the cables 21 and 22 should be connected to. Therefore, the operator brings only one of the two cables 21 and 22 closer to the connector device 10 '(see FIG. 11).

  FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a state when the operator brings the cable 22 closer to the connector device 10 ′.

  When the operator brings only the cable 22 closer to the connector device 10 ', the distance D2 between the identification information detection unit 101 and the RFID chip 22b of the cable 22 is the RFID chip 21b of the identification information detection unit 101 and the cable 21. It becomes shorter than the distance D1 between. Therefore, the intensity of the radio wave received by the identification information detection unit 101 from the RFID chip 22b of the cable 22 is greater than the intensity of the radio wave received from the RFID chip 21b of the cable 21. For this reason, the control unit 102 controls the blinking speed of the light emitting element 12a to be faster than that of the light emitting element 11a. Since the blinking speed of the light emitting element 12a is increased, the operator can be notified that the connection destination of the cable connector 22a is the panel connector 12. Therefore, the operator can easily recognize the panel connector 12 to which the cable connector 22a is connected from among the plurality of panel connectors 11 to 1N arranged in the connector device 10 '. When the operator connects the cable connector 22a to the panel connector 12 of the light emitting element 12a whose blinking speed is increased, the connection work of the cable 21 is completed. After connecting the cable 22, the other cable 21 may be connected to the remaining panel connector 11. Therefore, the operator can connect the cables 21 and 22 to the correct panel connector. In the above description, the case where two cables are connected at a time has been described. However, when three or more cables are desired to be connected at a time, the cables may be brought close to the connector device 10 in the same procedure. When the cable is brought closer to the connector device 10, the blinking speed of the light emitting element of the corresponding connector changes according to the distance between the cable and the identification information detection unit 101, so that the position of the correct connection destination panel connector can be easily set. It can be recognized, and the cable connection work can be easily performed.

  In the third embodiment, the connection destination of the cable connector is notified by increasing the blinking speed of the light emitting element. However, the connection destination of the cable connector may be notified by slowing down the blinking speed of the light emitting element.

  In the third embodiment, the connector device 10 of the first embodiment is provided with means for measuring the intensity of radio waves. However, the connector device 30 of the second embodiment may be provided with means for measuring the intensity of radio waves.

(4) Fourth Embodiment In describing the fourth embodiment, differences from the first embodiment will be mainly described.

  FIG. 12 is a view showing a connector device 30 which is a fourth embodiment of the connector device of the present invention.

  In the connector device 40 of the fourth embodiment, the identification information detection units 11d to 1Nd and the control units 11e to 1Ne are mounted for each of the panel connectors 11 to 1N, but the other points are the first implementation. It is the same structure as the connector apparatus 10 of a form.

  Each of the identification information detectors 11d to 1Nd performs the wireless communication with the RFID chips 21b to 2Nb (see FIG. 1) embedded in the cable connectors 21a to 2Na, thereby obtaining the identification information recorded on the RFID chips 21b to 2Nb. To detect. In the fourth embodiment, the maximum detection distance of the identification information detection units 11d to 1Nd is set to several centimeters. Therefore, when the RFID chips 21b to 2Nb embedded in the cable connectors 21a to 2Na approach a range of several centimeters from the identification information detection units 11d to 1Nd, the identification information detection units 11d to 1Nd are identified. An information ID is detected.

  Each of the control units 11e to 1N stores the identification information ID of the cable connector connected to the corresponding panel connector. FIG. 13 shows the cable connector identification information ID stored in the controllers 11e to 1Ne. Referring to FIG. 13, for example, the control unit 11e stores the identification information ID “ID: 21a” of the cable connector 21a, and the control unit 1Ne stores the identification information ID “ID: 2Na” of the cable connector 2Na. You can see that

  In addition, the control units 11e to 1N determine whether or not the identification information detected by the identification information detection units 11d to 1Nd matches the stored identification information. When the identification information matches, the control units 11e to 1N control the light emitting elements 11a to 1Na to change from the blinking state to the lighting state. On the other hand, when the identification information does not match, the light emitting elements 11a to 1Na are controlled to keep the blinking state.

Hereinafter, until the cables 21 and 22 are connected to the connector device 10 when the operator selects the two cables 21 and 22 as the cables to be connected to the connector device 10 from the cables 21 to 2N. The procedure of will be described.
The operator brings the cables 21 and 22 close to the connector device 10 (see FIG. 14).

FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the cable 21 is brought close to the connector device 40.
When the distance D1 between the identification information detection unit 101 and the RFID chip 21b of the cable 21 becomes shorter than the maximum detection distance D0, the identification information detection unit 101 identifies the identification information “ID” stored in the RFID chip 21b of the cable 21. : 21a "(see FIG. 3). Similarly, when the distance D2 between the identification information detection unit 101 and the RFID chip 22b of the cable 22 becomes shorter than the maximum detection distance D0, the identification information detection unit 101 identifies the identification stored in the RFID chip 22b of the cable 22. The information “ID: 22a” (see FIG. 3) is detected. Therefore, the control unit 102 refers to the correspondence relationship (see FIG. 5) stored in the storage unit 103, and is provided corresponding to the light emitting element 11 a provided corresponding to the panel connector 11 and the panel connector 12. The light emitting element 12a is blinked.

  Since only the light emitting elements 11a and 12a are blinking, the operator can easily narrow down the connection destinations of the cable connectors 21a and 22a to the panel connectors 11 and 12. However, in this state, the operator cannot recognize which of the panel connectors 11 and 12 the cable connectors 21a and 22a should be connected to. Therefore, the operator brings only one of the two cables 21 and 22 close to one of the panel connectors 11 and 12 (see FIG. 15).

  FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating a state when the operator brings the cable 21 close to the panel connector 12.

  When the distance D1 ′ between the identification information detection unit 12d of the panel connector 12 and the RFID chip 21b of the cable 21 becomes shorter than the maximum detection distance D12 of the identification information detection unit 12d, the identification information detection unit 12d is separated from the RFID chip 21b. The identification information ID is detected. The controller 12e determines whether the detected identification information matches the stored identification information. When the detected identification information matches the stored identification information, the control unit 12e changes the light emitting element 12a from the blinking state to the lighting state. On the other hand, if the detected identification information does not match the stored identification information, the control unit 12e controls the light emitting element 12a to be kept in a blinking state. In the case of FIG. 15, since the identification information detected by the identification information detection unit 12d is “ID: 21a”, it does not match the identification information “ID: 22a” (see FIG. 13) stored in the control unit 12e. Therefore, the control unit 12e performs control so that the light emitting element 12a is held in a blinking state. In this case, even if the operator inserts the cable connector 21a into the panel connector 12, the light emitting element 12a remains in a blinking state, so that the operator can recognize that the connection destination of the cable 21 is wrong.

  Next, a case where the operator brings the cable 21 close to the panel connector 11 will be described (see FIG. 16).

  FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating a state when the operator brings the cable 21 close to the panel connector 11.

  When the distance D1 ″ between the identification information detection unit 11d of the panel connector 11 and the RFID chip 21b of the cable 21 becomes shorter than the maximum detection distance D11 of the identification information detection unit 11d, the identification information detection unit 11d ID information ID is detected. The control unit 11e determines whether or not the detected identification information matches the stored identification information. When the detected identification information matches the stored identification information, the control unit 11e changes the light emitting element 11a from the blinking state to the lighting state. On the other hand, when the detected identification information does not correspond to the stored identification information, the control unit 11e controls the light emitting element 11a to be kept blinking.

  In the case of FIG. 16, since the identification information detected by the identification information detection unit 11d is “ID: 21a”, it matches the identification information “ID: 21a” (see FIG. 13) stored in the control unit 11e. Therefore, the control unit 11e controls the light emitting element 11a to change from the blinking state to the lighting state. In FIG. 16, the light emitting element 11a changed to the lighting state is indicated by a black circle. Since the light emitting element 11a changes from the blinking state to the lighting state, it is possible to notify the operator that the connection destination of the cable 21 is the panel connector 11. Therefore, the operator can easily recognize the panel connector 11 to which the cable connector 21a is connected from among the plurality of panel connectors 11 to 1N arranged in the connector device 40. When the operator connects the cable connector 21a to the panel connector 11 of the light emitting element 11a that has changed from the blinking state to the lighting state, the connection work of the cable 21 is completed. After connecting the cable 21, the other cable 22 may be connected to the remaining panel connector 12. Therefore, the operator can connect the cables 21 and 22 to the correct panel connector. In the above description, a case where two cables are connected at a time is described. However, if you want to connect three or more cables at a time, the light emitting element changes from the blinking state to the lit state by bringing the cable close to the panel connector of the connector device 40 in the same procedure, so the cable connection destination is easy Can be recognized.

In addition, the connector apparatus of said 1st-4th embodiment is a various apparatus (Magnetic resonance imaging apparatus, CT (Computed) which needs to connect connectors.
Tomography apparatus, ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus, etc.). For example, in a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus, it is necessary to connect a device that generates a drive signal for driving an RF coil and the like and a device for filtering the drive signal with a plurality of cables. By using the connector device, the cable can be easily connected.

  In the first and second embodiments, examples in which cables are connected to the connector device one by one are described. However, when the operator can recognize the connection destination of the cable, such as the connector device of the connector device is configured differently, even in the first and second embodiments, a plurality of cables are once connected. It is possible to connect to a connector device.

  In the above embodiment, the light emitting element is used to notify the position of the panel connector. However, another indicator other than the light emitting element may be used as long as the operator can be notified of the position of the panel connector.

  In the above embodiment, the identification information of the connector is detected using the RFID technology, but the identification information of the connector may be detected using another technology.
