(Connector part)
FIG. 5 is a perspective view seen from the back surface (front of the vehicle) of the bracket of the drive unit, and is a perspective view showing a state where the male connector is assembled to the female connector constituting the connector portion.
As shown in the figure, a connector portion for electrically connecting the motors 40A and 40B and the external wiring 140 to a part of the front surface of the base 27 of the bracket body 13 (the rear surface when viewed from the mirror unit 3 side). 110 (also referred to as a power feeding unit) is provided.

  The connector part 110 includes a female connector 120 provided on the bracket body part 13 side and a male connector 130 provided on the external wiring 140 side. The female connector 120 corresponds to the receiving wall 122 having a plurality of male terminal insertion holes 121 formed by a part of the wall of the base 27 of the bracket body 13, and the male terminal insertion hole 121 at the back of the receiving wall 122. And a plurality of female terminals (not shown). In this case, the female terminal is directly built in the motors 40A and 40B or formed as an insertion hole.

  Further, the male connector 130 is attached to each terminal of the terminal holding plate 132 and the external wiring 140 facing the outer surface of the receiving wall 122, so that the one side plate surface of the terminal holding plate 132 is perpendicular to the plate surface. And a plurality of male terminals 131 mounted in a posture in which the insertion piece 131a is protruded.

  Then, by pushing and moving the terminal holding plate 132 of the male connector 130 toward the receiving wall 122 of the female connector 120, the insertion piece 131a of each male terminal 131 mounted on one side plate surface of the terminal holding plate 132 is removed. The male terminal insertion hole 121 provided in the receiving wall 122 is inserted. Thereby, the insertion piece 131a of each male terminal 131 is conductively connected to a female terminal (such as an insertion hole provided directly in the motors 40A and 40B) at the back.

  In the present embodiment, when the male terminal 131 of the male connector 130 is inserted into the female connector 120 into the receiving wall 122 of the female connector 120, the outer edge of the terminal holding plate 132 of the male connector 130 is contacted. A columnar positioning rib 125 is provided to project the male connector 130 in a surface direction orthogonal to the insertion direction.

  When the arrangement direction of the plurality of female terminals (not shown), the male terminal insertion hole 121, and the male terminal 131 is the X direction (corresponding to the left-right direction for the operator to insert), the positioning rib 125 is a terminal holding plate. It arrange | positions so that a pair (one pair of right and left in the example of illustration) may be made on both sides of 132 of the X direction (left-right direction). The positioning rib 125 is arranged close to the lead-out side of the external wiring 140 (corresponding to the front side for the operator to insert).

  The male terminal insertion hole 121 is formed as a hole having a rectangular cross section that is short in the X direction and long in the Y direction perpendicular to the X direction, and the insertion piece 131a of the male terminal 131 corresponds to the male terminal insertion hole 121 having a rectangular cross section. It is formed as a male tab having a rectangular cross section. Therefore, the positioning rib 125 is arranged so that the position of the insertion piece 131a can be determined in the direction intersecting the plate surface of each plate-like insertion piece 131a. Note that positioning ribs 128 are also provided on the side opposite to the lead-out side of the external wiring 140 in the Y direction (the back side for the worker to be inserted).

  In addition, a flat surface for confirming the insertion position that is flush with the upper surface of the terminal holding plate 132 when the male terminal 131 of the male connector 130 is inserted to an appropriate position integrally with a part of each positioning rib 125. 125a is provided. The flat surface 125a is formed on the lead-out side of the external wiring 140 on the positioning rib 125 (corresponding to the front side for the operator to insert).

  In addition, when the male terminal 131 of the male connector 130 is inserted to an appropriate position, the plate surface at a position close to the outer peripheral edge of the terminal holding plate 132 is brought into contact with the outer surface of the receiving wall 122. An annular rib 123 is provided between the terminal holding plate 132 and the terminal holding plate 132 so as to ensure an appropriate gap. When the male terminal 131 is mounted at an appropriate position on the terminal holding plate 132 on the drawing side of the external wiring 140 of the annular rib 123, the groove portion 124 into which the external wiring 140 connected to the male terminal 131 is inserted. Is provided.

(Operation and effect of connector part)
Next, functions and effects of the connector unit 110 will be described.
In this connector part 110, since the positioning rib 125 is provided on the receiving wall 122 of the female connector 120, the positioning rib 125 regulates the position of the terminal holding plate 132 of the male connector 130 in the X direction, The connector 130 can be connected to the female connector 120.

  In particular, the positioning in the X direction, which is weak against the positional deviation that is the arrangement direction of the plurality of male terminals 131, can be performed reliably. Further, since the pin 125b protrudes from the upper end of the positioning rib 125, from the early stage when the terminal holding plate 132 of the male connector 130 is brought close to the receiving wall 122 of the female connector 120, the pin 125b gradually induces it. The male connector 130 can be connected to the female connector 120 while being properly positioned.

  Therefore, the insertion piece 131a of the male terminal 131 can be easily inserted into the male terminal insertion hole 121, and the insertion is not forced and the insertion piece 131a of the male terminal 131 is not broken. Further, the male connector can be positioned in the X direction only by providing the minimum necessary positioning ribs.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 6, when the male connector 130 is inserted, the male side is felt by touching the upper surface of the terminal holding plate 132 and the flat surface 125a of the positioning rib 125 with the hand. It can be easily confirmed that the connector 130 is inserted to the proper insertion position.

  Further, since the annular rib 123 protrudes from the receiving wall 122 of the female connector 120, a clearance sufficient to accommodate the mounting portion of the male terminal 131 is secured between the receiving wall 122 and the terminal holding plate 132. be able to. Further, even when the plate surface of the terminal holding plate 132 is brought into contact with the annular rib 123, the external wiring 140 can be pulled out to the outside of the annular rib 123 through the groove portion 124 provided in the annular rib 123. 140 is not sandwiched between the annular rib 123 and the terminal holding plate 132.

  Further, when the external wiring 140 is sandwiched between the annular rib 123 and the terminal holding plate 132 as shown in FIG. The holding plate 132 is raised. For this reason, the upper surface of the terminal holding plate 132 is not flush with the flat surface 125a of the positioning rib 125, and a step is formed between them. Therefore, it is immediately known that the connection state is improper due to the touch of the operator with the hand.

  Further, a flat surface 125 a for confirming the position in the insertion direction is integrally provided on the positioning rib 125 that performs positioning in a plane orthogonal to the insertion direction of the male connector 130. For this reason, unlike the case where the former positioning rib 125 and the latter rib having the flat surface 125a are separately provided separately from the molding resin, it is possible to form a large cross section of the cavity for molding the mold rib. Therefore, the filling property of the resin into the cavity can be improved and the moldability can be improved.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and includes various modifications made to the above-described embodiment without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
For example, in the above-described embodiment, the case where a pair of positioning ribs 125 are provided on the left and right is shown, but two or more pairs of positioning ribs 125 may be provided on the left and right.
