以下、本発明の実施形態を図面に基づいて詳細に説明する。以下の実施形態は、本質的に好ましい例示に過ぎず、本発明、その適用物、あるいはその用途の範囲を制限することを意図するものではない。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The following embodiments are merely preferred embodiments and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention, its applications, or its uses.

以下の実施形態１～３では、図１に模式的に示すように、本発明に係るコネクタカバーの一例として、隣り合う太陽電池パネルＰ（電気機器）を電気的に接続する第１ケーブルＣ１と第２ケーブルＣ２の第１コネクタＣ１１と第２コネクタＣ１２とを一体的に覆うコネクタカバー１０について説明する。 In the following embodiments 1 to 3, as schematically shown in FIG. 1, as an example of the connector cover according to the present invention, the first cable C1 for electrically connecting the adjacent solar cell panels P (electrical devices) is used. The connector cover 10 that integrally covers the first connector C11 and the second connector C12 of the second cable C2 will be described.

図１に示すように、一列に並べて設置された複数の太陽電池パネルＰのそれぞれには、第１ケーブルＣ１と第２ケーブルＣ２とが接続されている。第１ケーブルＣ１と第２ケーブルＣ２とは、各太陽電池パネルＰの裏面（受光面と逆側の面）に設けられた端子ボックスＪＢに収容された端子に接続されている。各太陽電池パネルＰの第１ケーブルＣ１は、隣の太陽電池パネルＰまで延び、端部に設けられた第１コネクタＣ１１が、隣の太陽電池パネルＰの第２ケーブルＣ２の端部に設けられた第２コネクタＣ１２に接続されている。本実施形態１では、コネクタカバー１０は、このように隣り合う太陽電池パネルＰの一方側の第１ケーブルＣ１の第１コネクタＣ１１と他方側の太陽電池パネルＰの第２ケーブルＣ２の第２コネクタＣ１２との接続部分を覆っている。 As shown in FIG. 1, a first cable C1 and a second cable C2 are connected to each of a plurality of solar cell panels P installed side by side in a row. The first cable C1 and the second cable C2 are connected to terminals housed in a terminal box JB provided on the back surface (the surface opposite to the light receiving surface) of each solar cell panel P. The first cable C1 of each solar cell panel P extends to the adjacent solar cell panel P, and the first connector C11 provided at the end is provided at the end of the second cable C2 of the adjacent solar cell panel P. It is connected to the second connector C12. In the first embodiment, the connector cover 10 has the first connector C11 of the first cable C1 on one side of the adjacent solar cell panels P and the second connector of the second cable C2 of the solar cell panel P on the other side. It covers the connection part with C12.

第１コネクタＣ１１と第２コネクタＣ１２は、それぞれケーブル側の端部を基端部、逆側の端部を先端部とすると、先端部に互いに係合する係合部が形成されている。本実施形態では、第１コネクタＣ１１の先端部には凸部が形成され、第２コネクタＣ１２の先端部には第１コネクタＣ１１の凸部が嵌まり込む凹部が形成されている。第１コネクタＣ１１と第２コネクタＣ１２とは、第１コネクタＣ１１の凸部を第２コネクタＣ１２の凹部に嵌め込むことによって互いに接続され、第１コネクタＣ１１の凸部を第２コネクタＣ１２の凹部から引き抜くことによって互いの接続が解除される。なお、第１コネクタＣ１１と第２コネクタＣ１２の係合部の形状は上述の形状に限られず、いかなるものであってもよい。例えば、第１コネクタＣ１１と第２コネクタＣ１２の両方の先端部に凸部と凹部とが形成されていてもよい。 The first connector C11 and the second connector C12 have an engaging portion that engages with each other, assuming that the end on the cable side is the base end and the end on the opposite side is the tip. In the present embodiment, a convex portion is formed at the tip end portion of the first connector C11, and a concave portion into which the convex portion of the first connector C11 is fitted is formed at the tip end portion of the second connector C12. The first connector C11 and the second connector C12 are connected to each other by fitting the convex portion of the first connector C11 into the concave portion of the second connector C12, and the convex portion of the first connector C11 is connected to the concave portion of the second connector C12. By pulling it out, the connection with each other is released. The shape of the engaging portion between the first connector C11 and the second connector C12 is not limited to the above-mentioned shape, and may be any shape.

Will be described as the left side, and diagonally upward to the right of the paper as the right side. Further, the front-back direction is referred to as an X direction, the up-down direction is referred to as a Y direction, and the left-right direction is referred to as a Z direction. The Z direction is the attachment / detachment direction between the first connector C11 and the second connector C12 (the arrangement direction when the first connector C11 and the second connector C12 are connected).

－コネクタカバーの構成－
図２及び図３に示すように、コネクタカバー１０は、本体部１１と、２つの左側規制部１２と、２つの右側規制部１３と、保持部１４とを備えている。本体部１１と、２つの左側規制部１２と、２つの右側規制部１３と、保持部１４とは、一枚の板金を折り曲げることによって形成されている。 -Connector cover configuration-
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the connector cover 10 includes a main body portion 11, two left side regulating portions 12, two right side regulating portions 13, and a holding portion 14. The main body portion 11, the two left side regulating portions 12, the two right side regulating portions 13, and the holding portion 14 are formed by bending one sheet metal.

［本体部］
本体部１１は、図４に示す板金に、谷折り線（図４の破線）で折り曲げる折り曲げ加工を施すことによってＸＹ方向の断面が略矩形の筒状に形成されている。本体部１１は、Ｘ方向及びＹ方向の長さに対してＺ方向の長さが長い筒状に形成されている。また、本体部１１は、互いに接続された第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２の側面全周（着脱方向に沿う前面、上面、後面及び下面からなる外周面）を一体的に覆うことができる大きさに形成されている。つまり、本体部１１は、Ｘ方向、Ｙ方向及びＺ方向の寸法が、それぞれ第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２のＸ方向、Ｙ方向及びＺ方向の寸法よりも大きくなるように形成されている。 [Main body]
The main body 11 is formed in a cylindrical shape having a substantially rectangular cross section in the XY direction by subjecting the sheet metal shown in FIG. 4 to a bending process of bending along a valley fold line (broken line in FIG. 4). The main body portion 11 is formed in a cylindrical shape having a length in the Z direction longer than the length in the X direction and the Y direction. Further, the main body portion 11 has a size capable of integrally covering the entire circumference of the side surface of the first connector C11 and the second connector C12 connected to each other (the outer peripheral surface composed of the front surface, the upper surface, the rear surface and the lower surface along the attachment / detachment direction). It is formed on the connector. That is, the main body portion 11 is formed so that the dimensions in the X direction, the Y direction, and the Z direction are larger than the dimensions in the X direction, the Y direction, and the Z direction of the first connector C11 and the second connector C12, respectively. ..

図２及び図３に示すように、本体部１１は、前上面部１１ａと、上面部１１ｂと、後面部１１ｃと、下面部１１ｄと、前下面部１１ｅとを有している。前上面部１１ａと上面部１１ｂと後面部１１ｃと下面部１１ｄと前下面部１１ｅとは、いずれも図４に示す板金の矩形状の一部分によって形成される。前上面部１１ａと上面部１１ｂと下面部１１ｄと前下面部１１ｅとは、平板状に形成されている。一方、後面部１１ｃは、プレス加工によって湾曲形状に形成されている。 As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the main body portion 11 has a front upper surface portion 11a, an upper surface portion 11b, a rear surface portion 11c, a lower surface portion 11d, and a front lower surface portion 11e. The front upper surface portion 11a, the upper surface portion 11b, the rear surface portion 11c, the lower surface portion 11d, and the front lower surface portion 11e are all formed by a rectangular portion of the sheet metal shown in FIG. The front upper surface portion 11a, the upper surface portion 11b, the lower surface portion 11d, and the front lower surface portion 11e are formed in a flat plate shape. On the other hand, the rear surface portion 11c is formed into a curved shape by press working.

後面部１１ｃは、例えば、図４に示す板金に折り曲げ加工を行う前に、板金の後面部１１ｃとなる部分に対してプレス加工を施すことによって湾曲形状に形成されている。後面部１１ｃは、上下方向（Ｙ方向）の中央部分が両端部（上端部及び下端部）よりも筒状の本体部１１の内側に膨出するように湾曲している。後面部１１ｃは、このように湾曲形状に形成されることにより、本体部１１が閉状態の際に該本体部１１が開状態になるように該本体部１１を付勢する板ばね部となる。 The rear surface portion 11c is formed into a curved shape by, for example, pressing a portion of the sheet metal to be the rear surface portion 11c before bending the sheet metal shown in FIG. The rear surface portion 11c is curved so that the central portion in the vertical direction (Y direction) bulges inward of the cylindrical main body portion 11 from both end portions (upper end portion and lower end portion). The rear surface portion 11c is formed in such a curved shape to serve as a leaf spring portion that urges the main body portion 11 so that the main body portion 11 is in the open state when the main body portion 11 is in the closed state. ..

具体的には、本体部１１は、図３及び図５に示すように、外力が何ら作用しない場合、前上面部１１ａの下端と前下面部１１ｅとの上端とが離れた開状態となる。一方、本体部１１の上面部１１ｂに、該上面部１１ｂを下面部１１ｄ側に押圧する力を作用させると、本体部１１は、前上面部１１ａの下端と前下面部１１ｅとの上端とが近づき、やがて前上面部１１ａの下端と前下面部１１ｅとの上端とが当接した閉状態（図５の二点鎖線で示す状態）となる。このとき、後面部１１ｃは、上面部１１ｂに引っ張られて弾性変形し、湾曲面の曲率が徐々に小さくなり、閉状態では平板に近い形状となる。 Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, when no external force acts, the main body 11 is in an open state in which the lower end of the front upper surface portion 11a and the upper end of the front lower surface portion 11e are separated from each other. On the other hand, when a force for pressing the upper surface portion 11b toward the lower surface portion 11d is applied to the upper surface portion 11b of the main body portion 11, the main body portion 11 has the lower end of the front upper surface portion 11a and the upper end of the front lower surface portion 11e. As it approaches, the lower end of the front upper surface portion 11a and the upper end of the front lower surface portion 11e are in contact with each other (the state shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 5). At this time, the rear surface portion 11c is elastically deformed by being pulled by the upper surface portion 11b, the curvature of the curved surface gradually decreases, and the shape becomes close to a flat plate in the closed state.

上述のような後面部１１ｃの弾性変形により、本体部１１が閉状態の際に、本体部１１には、後面部１１ｃ（板ばね部）が元の形状に戻ろうとする復元力（弾性力）が作用し、本体部１１は、開状態になるように付勢される。つまり、本体部１１を、開状態から上面部１１ｂを手で押さえて閉状態にした後、その手を離して該上面部１１ｂに作用させていた力を取り除くと、本体部１１は、後面部１１ｃ（板ばね部）の復元力（弾性力）によって上面部１１ｂが持ち上げられ、すぐに元の開状態となる。 Due to the elastic deformation of the rear surface portion 11c as described above, when the main body portion 11 is in the closed state, the restoring force (elastic force) at which the rear surface portion 11c (leaf spring portion) tries to return to the original shape is applied to the main body portion 11. Acts, and the main body 11 is urged to be in an open state. That is, when the main body portion 11 is closed by pressing the upper surface portion 11b by hand from the open state and then releasing the hand to remove the force acting on the upper surface portion 11b, the main body portion 11 becomes the rear surface portion. The upper surface portion 11b is lifted by the restoring force (elastic force) of the 11c (leaf spring portion), and immediately returns to the original open state.

［規制部］
２つの左側規制部１２は、第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２の一方のコネクタに当接することによって該一方のコネクタの他方のコネクタとの接続が解除される方向への移動を規制するものである。本実施形態１では、２つの左側規制部１２は、本体部１１内において左側に設けられる第１コネクタＣ１１に当接することによって第１コネクタＣ１１の第２コネクタＣ１２との接続が解除される左方への移動を規制する。 [Regulatory Department]
The two left side restricting portions 12 restrict the movement of one connector in the direction in which the connection with the other connector is released by abutting on one of the connectors of the first connector C11 and the second connector C12. be. In the first embodiment, the two left side restricting portions 12 are left to be disconnected from the second connector C12 of the first connector C11 by abutting on the first connector C11 provided on the left side in the main body portion 11. Regulate movement to.

具体的には、図２及び図３に示すように、２つの左側規制部１２は、本体部１１のＺ方向において左側端部（第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２の着脱方向において第１ケーブルＣ１側の一端部）からそれぞれ該本体部１１の内側に突出している。本実施形態では、２つの左側規制部１２は、本体部１１の上面部１１ｂの左側端部から該本体部１１の内側に突出する上側の左側規制部１２と、本体部１１の下面部１１ｄの左側端部から該本体部１１の内側に突出する下側の左側規制部１２とによって構成されている。 Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the two left side restricting portions 12 are the left end portions in the Z direction of the main body portion 11 (the first cable in the attachment / detachment direction of the first connector C11 and the second connector C12). It protrudes inward from the main body 11 from one end on the C1 side). In the present embodiment, the two left side restricting portions 12 are the upper left side regulating portion 12 protruding inward from the left side end portion of the upper surface portion 11b of the main body portion 11 and the lower surface portion 11d of the main body portion 11. It is composed of a lower left side regulating portion 12 projecting from the left side end portion to the inside of the main body portion 11.

２つの左側規制部１２は、図４に示す板金の本体部１１を構成する部分に連続して該本体部１１を構成する部分に対して折り曲げられた板状片部によって形成されている。具体的には、上側の左側規制部１２は、図４に示す板金の上面部１１ｂとなる部分の左側端部（図４では下側端部）に連続する矩形状の板状片部を上面部１１ｂに対して折り曲げることによって形成されている。下側の左側規制部１２は、図４に示す板金の下面部１１ｄとなる部分の左側端部（図４では下側端部）に連続する矩形状の板状片部を下面部１１ｄに対して折り曲げることによって形成されている。 The two left side restricting portions 12 are formed by a plate-shaped piece portion that is continuously bent with respect to the portion constituting the main body portion 11 of the sheet metal shown in FIG. Specifically, the upper left side regulating portion 12 has a rectangular plate-shaped piece portion on the upper surface, which is continuous with the left end portion (lower end portion in FIG. 4) of the portion to be the upper surface portion 11b of the sheet metal shown in FIG. It is formed by bending the portion 11b. The lower left side restricting portion 12 has a rectangular plate-shaped piece continuous with the left end portion (lower end portion in FIG. 4) of the portion serving as the lower surface portion 11d of the sheet metal shown in FIG. 4 with respect to the lower surface portion 11d. It is formed by bending it.

なお、２つの左側規制部１２は、本実施形態では、等しい大きさの矩形状に形成されているが、本体部１１内において左側に設けられる第１コネクタＣ１１に当接して該第１コネクタＣ１１の左方への移動を規制できるものであれば、いかなる大きさ、形状であってもよい。２つの左側規制部１２は、一方が他方より大きいものであってもよく、矩形状以外の形状であってもよい。また、左側規制部１２は、１つだけ設けられていてもよく、３つ以上設けられていてもよい。 In the present embodiment, the two left side restricting portions 12 are formed in a rectangular shape having the same size, but the first connector C11 abuts on the first connector C11 provided on the left side in the main body portion 11. It may be of any size and shape as long as it can regulate the movement of the to the left.

Further, only one right-side regulating unit 13 may be provided, or three or more may be provided.

本実施形態１では、左側規制部１２と右側規制部１３とは、Ｚ方向、即ち、第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２の着脱方向（配列方向）において対向する位置に設けられている。また、左側規制部１２と右側規制部１３とは、Ｚ方向の間隔が、接続状態にある第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２のＺ方向の長さより僅かに大きくなるように形成されている。左側規制部１２と右側規制部１３とがこのような間隔で設けられることにより、接続状態にある第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２を容易に本体部１１内に収容することができる。また、本体部１１内において接続状態にある第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２に接続が解除される（引き離す）力、具体的には、第１コネクタＣ１１に左向きの力、第２コネクタＣ１２に右向きの力が作用しても、第１コネクタＣ１１は左側規制部１２（第１規制部）に当接することによって左方への移動が規制され、第２コネクタＣ１２は右側規制部１３（第２規制部）に当接することによって右方への移動が規制される。つまり、左側規制部１２と右側規制部１３とが上述のような間隔で設けられることにより、本体部１１内に収容された接続状態にある第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２の接続の緩みが抑制される。 In the first embodiment, the left side regulating unit 12 and the right side regulating unit 13 are provided at positions facing each other in the Z direction, that is, in the attachment / detachment direction (arrangement direction) of the first connector C11 and the second connector C12. Further, the left side regulating portion 12 and the right side regulating portion 13 are formed so that the distance in the Z direction is slightly larger than the length of the first connector C11 and the second connector C12 in the connected state in the Z direction. By providing the left side regulating portion 12 and the right side regulating portion 13 at such a distance, the first connector C11 and the second connector C12 in the connected state can be easily accommodated in the main body portion 11. Further, a force for disconnecting (pulling) the connection to the first connector C11 and the second connector C12 which are connected in the main body portion 11, specifically, a force toward the left to the first connector C11 and a force to the second connector C12. Even if a rightward force is applied, the first connector C11 is restricted from moving to the left by abutting on the left side regulating portion 12 (first regulating portion), and the second connector C12 is restricted from moving to the right side. The movement to the right is restricted by contacting the regulator). That is, by providing the left side regulating portion 12 and the right side regulating portion 13 at the intervals as described above, the looseness of the connection between the first connector C11 and the second connector C12 in the connected state housed in the main body portion 11 is loosened. It is suppressed.

［保持部］
保持部１４は、本体部１１の前上面部１１ａに連続する上保持片１４ａと、本体部１１の前下面部１１ｅに連続する下保持片１４ｂとを有している。上保持片１４ａは、図４に示す板金の前上面部１１ａとなる部分の上面部１１ｂとなる部分の逆側に連続する矩形状の板状片部を、山折り線（図４の一点鎖線）で前上面部１１ａに対して折り曲げると共に、Ｃ字形状に湾曲させることによって形成されている。下保持片１４ｂは、図４に示す板金の前下面部１１ｅとなる部分の下面部１１ｄとなる部分の逆側に連続する矩形状の板状片部を、山折り線（図４の一点鎖線）で前下面部１１ｅに対して折り曲げると共に、Ｃ字形状に湾曲させることによって形成されている。 [Holding part]
The holding portion 14 has an upper holding piece 14a continuous with the front upper surface portion 11a of the main body portion 11 and a lower holding piece 14b continuous with the front lower surface portion 11e of the main body portion 11. The upper holding piece 14a has a rectangular plate-shaped piece portion continuous on the opposite side of the portion to be the upper surface portion 11b of the portion to be the front upper surface portion 11a of the sheet metal shown in FIG. ), It is formed by bending it with respect to the front upper surface portion 11a and bending it into a C shape. The lower holding piece 14b has a mountain fold line (one-dot chain line in FIG. 4) formed by forming a rectangular plate-shaped piece continuous on the opposite side of the lower surface portion 11d of the front lower surface portion 11e of the sheet metal shown in FIG. ), It is formed by bending it with respect to the front lower surface portion 11e and bending it into a C shape.

上保持片１４ａと下保持片１４ｂとは、本体部１１の閉状態において、下保持片１４ｂが上保持片１４ａ内にぴったり嵌まるように、下保持片１４ｂが上保持片１４ａよりも一回り小さいＣ字形状に形成されている。本体部１１の閉状態において、下保持片１４ｂが上保持片１４ａ内にぴったり嵌まると、上保持片１４ａの下側部分が下保持片１４ｂの下側部分に当接して引っかかり、後面部１１ｃ（板ばね部）の復元力（弾性力）が作用しても上面部１１ｂが持ち上がらず、本体部１１が開かない。つまり、保持部１４によって、本体部１１の前上面部１１ａの下端と前下面部１１ｅとの上端とが当接した閉状態（図５の二点鎖線で示す状態）が保持されることとなる。 In the upper holding piece 14a and the lower holding piece 14b, the lower holding piece 14b is rotated more than the upper holding piece 14a so that the lower holding piece 14b fits snugly in the upper holding piece 14a in the closed state of the main body 11. It is formed in a small C shape. When the lower holding piece 14b fits snugly inside the upper holding piece 14a in the closed state of the main body portion 11, the lower portion of the upper holding piece 14a abuts on the lower portion of the lower holding piece 14b and is caught, and the rear surface portion 11c Even if the restoring force (elastic force) of the (leaf spring portion) acts, the upper surface portion 11b does not lift and the main body portion 11 does not open. That is, the holding portion 14 holds the closed state (the state shown by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 5) in which the lower end of the front upper surface portion 11a of the main body portion 11 and the upper end of the front lower surface portion 11e are in contact with each other. ..

－コネクタカバーの着脱手順－
次に、コネクタカバー１０の着脱手順について説明する。 -Procedure for attaching and detaching the connector cover-
Next, the procedure for attaching and detaching the connector cover 10 will be described.

コネクタカバー１０を第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２に装着する際には、まず、コネクタカバー１０の本体部１１の保持部１４の上保持片１４ａを上方に持ち上げ、下保持片１４ｂから離す。その結果、本体部１１の後面部１１ｃ（板ばね部）の復元力（弾性力）によって本体部１１の上面部１１ｂが持ち上がり、本体部１１が開状態となる。 When attaching the connector cover 10 to the first connector C11 and the second connector C12, first, the upper holding piece 14a of the holding portion 14 of the main body portion 11 of the connector cover 10 is lifted upward and separated from the lower holding piece 14b. As a result, the upper surface portion 11b of the main body portion 11 is lifted by the restoring force (elastic force) of the rear surface portion 11c (leaf spring portion) of the main body portion 11, and the main body portion 11 is opened.

次に、開状態となった本体部１１内の左側規制部１２と右側規制部１３との間に、互いに接続された第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２を設置する。その後、本体部１１の上面部１１ｂに、該上面部１１ｂを下面部１１ｄ側に押圧する力を作用させて上面部１１ｂを後面部１１ｃ（板ばね部）の復元力（弾性力）に抗して押し下げて本体部１１を閉状態にすると共に、保持部１４の上保持片１４ａを下保持片１４ｂに対して外側から嵌め込む。これにより、本体部１１内に第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２が収容された状態で、本体部１１が閉状態に保持される。 Next, the first connector C11 and the second connector C12 connected to each other are installed between the left side regulating portion 12 and the right side regulating portion 13 in the opened main body portion 11. After that, a force for pressing the upper surface portion 11b toward the lower surface portion 11d is applied to the upper surface portion 11b of the main body portion 11, and the upper surface portion 11b resists the restoring force (elastic force) of the rear surface portion 11c (leaf spring portion). The main body portion 11 is closed, and the upper holding piece 14a of the holding portion 14 is fitted into the lower holding piece 14b from the outside. As a result, the main body 11 is held in the closed state while the first connector C11 and the second connector C12 are housed in the main body 11.

一方、第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２からコネクタカバー１０を取り外す際には、コネクタカバー１０の本体部１１の保持部１４の上保持片１４ａを上方に持ち上げて本体部１１を開状態にし、本体部１１内から第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２を取り出せばよい。 On the other hand, when the connector cover 10 is removed from the first connector C11 and the second connector C12, the upper holding piece 14a of the holding portion 14 of the main body portion 11 of the connector cover 10 is lifted upward to open the main body portion 11. The first connector C11 and the second connector C12 may be taken out from the main body portion 11.

－実施形態１の効果－
以上のように、上記コネクタカバー１０は、本体部１１において第１ケーブルＣ１側の一端部に対応する左側端部から該本体部１１の内側に突出し、第１コネクタＣ１１に当接することによって該第１コネクタＣ１１の第２コネクタＣ１２との接続が解除される方向（左方）への移動を規制する左側規制部１２（第１規制部）と、本体部１１において第２ケーブルＣ２側の他端部に対応する右側端部から該本体部１１の内側に突出し、第２コネクタＣ１２に当接することによって該第２コネクタＣ１２の第１コネクタＣ１１との接続が解除される方向（右方）への移動を規制する右側規制部１３（第２規制部）とを含んでいる。そのため、本体部１１内において接続状態にある第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２に接続が解除される（引き離す）力、具体的には、第１コネクタＣ１１に左向きの力、第２コネクタＣ１２に右向きの力が作用しても、第１コネクタＣ１１は左側規制部１２（第１規制部）に当接することによって左方への移動が規制され、第２コネクタＣ１２は右側規制部１３（第２規制部）に当接することによって右方への移動が規制される。つまり、コネクタカバー１０が左側規制部１２と右側規制部１３とを含むことにより、本体部１１内に収容された接続状態にある第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２の接続の緩みが抑制される。よって、第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２の導通不良による電力量の低下や高温に発熱することが回避される。 -Effect of Embodiment 1-
As described above, the connector cover 10 projects from the left end portion of the main body portion 11 corresponding to one end portion on the first cable C1 side to the inside of the main body portion 11 and abuts on the first connector C11 to bring the connector cover 10 into contact with the first connector C11. The left side restricting part 12 (first restricting part) that regulates the movement of the 1 connector C11 in the direction (left) in which the connection with the second connector C12 is released, and the other end of the main body part 11 on the second cable C2 side. A direction (to the right) in which the connection of the second connector C12 with the first connector C11 is released by projecting from the right end portion corresponding to the portion to the inside of the main body portion 11 and abutting on the second connector C12. It includes the right side regulation unit 13 (second regulation unit) that regulates movement. Therefore, the force for disconnecting (pulling) the connection to the first connector C11 and the second connector C12 in the main body portion 11, specifically, the force toward the left to the first connector C11 and the force to the second connector C12. Even if a rightward force is applied, the first connector C11 is restricted from moving to the left by abutting on the left side regulating portion 12 (first regulating portion), and the second connector C12 is restricted from moving to the right side. The movement to the right is restricted by contacting the regulator). That is, since the connector cover 10 includes the left side regulating portion 12 and the right side regulating portion 13, loosening of the connection between the first connector C11 and the second connector C12 in the connected state housed in the main body portion 11 is suppressed. .. Therefore, it is possible to avoid a decrease in the amount of electric power and heat generation at a high temperature due to poor continuity of the first connector C11 and the second connector C12.

また、コネクタカバー１０は、不燃材料である金属板で開閉可能な筒状に形成された本体部１１を含んでいる。そして、本体部１１は、内部に収容した接続状態にある第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２の側面全周を一体的に覆う大きさに形成されている。つまり、接続状態にある第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２は、不燃材料からなる本体部１１によって側面全周が覆われることとなる。よって、第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２が経年の使用によって劣化し、導通不良によって高温に発熱して万一発火するようなことがあったとしても、不燃材料からなる本体部１１によって側面全周が覆われているため、周辺の部材、例えば、住宅の屋根に太陽電池パネルＰが設置されているような場合には、ルーフィング又は野地板への延焼が抑制される。また、万一発火するようなことがあっても、コネクタカバー１０によって発火部分（第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２の接続部分）への酸素の供給が抑制されるため、速やかに鎮火されることとなる。 Further, the connector cover 10 includes a main body portion 11 formed in a cylindrical shape that can be opened and closed by a metal plate that is a non-combustible material. The main body portion 11 is formed in a size that integrally covers the entire circumference of the side surfaces of the first connector C11 and the second connector C12 that are housed inside and are in a connected state. That is, the entire side surface of the first connector C11 and the second connector C12 in the connected state is covered by the main body portion 11 made of a non-combustible material. Therefore, even if the first connector C11 and the second connector C12 deteriorate due to long-term use and generate heat at a high temperature due to poor continuity and ignite, the main body 11 made of a non-combustible material makes all the sides. Since the circumference is covered, when the solar cell panel P is installed on a peripheral member, for example, the roof of a house, the roofing or the spread of fire to the field board is suppressed. Further, even if a fire should occur, the connector cover 10 suppresses the supply of oxygen to the ignition portion (the connection portion between the first connector C11 and the second connector C12), so that the fire is extinguished promptly. It will be.

また、このようにコネクタカバー１０の本体部１１で第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２の側面全周を一体的に覆うことにより、第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２が保護される。そのため、例えば、太陽電池パネルＰの施工時に誤って第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２を踏みつけてしまっても、コネクタカバー１０の本体部１１によって保護されているため、第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２が破損し難くなる。 Further, by integrally covering the entire side surface of the first connector C11 and the second connector C12 with the main body portion 11 of the connector cover 10 in this way, the first connector C11 and the second connector C12 are protected. Therefore, for example, even if the first connector C11 and the second connector C12 are accidentally trampled during the construction of the solar cell panel P, the first connector C11 and the second connector C11 and the second connector C11 are protected by the main body 11 of the connector cover 10. The connector C12 is less likely to be damaged.

また、コネクタカバー１０は、本体部１１が、前上面部１１ａの下端と前下面部１１ｅとの上端とが当接した閉状態の際に開状態になるように付勢する弾性力が作用するように構成されている。このような構成により、本体部１１を容易に開くことができ、コネクタカバー１０の着脱が容易になる。 Further, the connector cover 10 is subjected to an elastic force that urges the main body portion 11 to open when the lower end of the front upper surface portion 11a and the upper end of the front lower surface portion 11e are in contact with each other. It is configured as follows. With such a configuration, the main body 11 can be easily opened, and the connector cover 10 can be easily attached and detached.

また、コネクタカバー１０は、第１コネクタＣ１１に当接して該第１コネクタＣ１１の左方への移動を規制する左側規制部１２（第１規制部）と、第２コネクタＣ１２に当接して該第２コネクタＣ１２の右方への移動を規制する右側規制部１３（第２規制部）とを２つずつ有している。コネクタカバー１０が左側規制部１２及び右側規制部１３を少なくとも１つずつ有していれば本体部１１内に収容された接続状態にある第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２の接続の緩みが抑制されるが、左側規制部１２及び右側規制部１３を複数有することにより、第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２の接続の緩みがより確実に抑制される。 Further, the connector cover 10 abuts on the left side regulating portion 12 (first regulating portion) that abuts on the first connector C11 and restricts the movement of the first connector C11 to the left, and abuts on the second connector C12. It has two right-side regulating units 13 (second regulating units) that regulate the movement of the second connector C12 to the right. If the connector cover 10 has at least one left side regulating portion 12 and one right side regulating portion 13, loosening of the connection between the first connector C11 and the second connector C12 in the connected state housed in the main body portion 11 is suppressed. However, by having a plurality of left side restricting portions 12 and right side regulating portions 13, loosening of the connection between the first connector C11 and the second connector C12 is more reliably suppressed.

また、コネクタカバー１０では、本体部１１が、閉状態において筒状になるように折り曲げられた板金によって形成され、該本体部の一部分である後面部１１ｃが、本体部１１が閉状態の際に該本体部１１が開状態になるように該本体部１１を付勢する板ばね部に構成されている。このように筒状の本体部１１の一部分を板ばね部に構成するだけの容易な構成により、本体部１１が閉状態の際に開状態になるように弾性力が付勢される構成となる。 Further, in the connector cover 10, the main body 11 is formed of a sheet metal bent so as to be tubular in the closed state, and the rear surface portion 11c, which is a part of the main body, is formed when the main body 11 is closed. It is configured as a leaf spring portion that urges the main body portion 11 so that the main body portion 11 is in an open state. As described above, an elastic force is urged so that the main body 11 is opened when the main body 11 is closed due to a simple configuration in which a part of the tubular main body 11 is formed as a leaf spring portion. ..

また、上記コネクタカバー１０では、左側規制部１２（第１規制部）と右側規制部１３（第２規制部）と保持部１４とが、本体部１１を構成する板金の該本体部１１を構成する部分に連続して該本体部１１を構成する部分に対して折り曲げられた板状片部によって構成されている。このような構成により、コネクタカバー１０は、一枚の板金によって容易に構成される。 Further, in the connector cover 10, the left side regulating portion 12 (first regulating section), the right side regulating section 13 (second regulating section), and the holding portion 14 form the main body portion 11 of the sheet metal constituting the main body portion 11. It is composed of a plate-shaped piece portion that is continuously bent with respect to a portion constituting the main body portion 11. With such a configuration, the connector cover 10 is easily configured by a single sheet metal.

At the same time as urging, the second cover main body 26 is configured to urge the second cover main body 26 so as to rotate in the opposite direction (first direction) about the rotation shaft A.

このような構成により、ばね部材２７は、上述のようにして本体部２１が閉状態から開状態になると、Ｃ字形状から端部同士が離れてＵ字形状に変形する（図９を参照）。このようなばね部材２７の弾性変形により、本体部２１が開状態の際に、本体部２１には、ばね部材２７が元の形状に戻ろうとする復元力（弾性力）が作用し、本体部２１は、閉状態になるように付勢される。つまり、本体部２１を、閉状態から手で各操作部２５ｂ，２６ｂの上端を把持しながら該上端同士を近づけ、回動軸Ａを中心に第１カバー本体２５を第１方向（図８の時計回り）に回動させ、第２カバー本体２６を第２方向（図８の反時計回り）に回動させて開状態にした後、その手を離して各操作部２５ｂ，２６ｂに作用させていた力を取り除くと、本体部２１には、ばね部材２７の復元力（弾性力）により、回動軸Ａを中心に第１カバー本体２５を第２方向（図８の半時計回り）に回動させ、第２カバー本体２６を第１方向（図８の時計回り）に回動させる付勢力が作用する。その結果、本体部２１は、各操作部２５ｂ，２６ｂの上端が離れる一方、各収容部２５ａ，２６ａの下端が近づき、すぐに元の各収容部２５ａ，２６ａの下端が当接した閉状態となる。 With such a configuration, when the main body portion 21 is changed from the closed state to the open state as described above, the spring member 27 is deformed into a U-shape with the ends separated from the C-shape (see FIG. 9). .. Due to such elastic deformation of the spring member 27, when the main body 21 is in the open state, a restoring force (elastic force) that causes the spring member 27 to return to its original shape acts on the main body 21. 21 is urged to be closed. That is, the main body portion 21 is brought close to each other while grasping the upper ends of the operating portions 25b and 26b by hand from the closed state, and the first cover main body 25 is moved in the first direction (FIG. 8) with the rotation axis A as the center. Rotate it clockwise) to rotate the second cover body 26 in the second direction (counterclockwise in FIG. 8) to open it, and then release the hand to act on the operation units 25b and 26b. When the applied force is removed, the main body 21 is subjected to the restoring force (elastic force) of the spring member 27 so that the first cover main body 25 is moved in the second direction (counterclockwise in FIG. 8) around the rotation axis A. An urging force that rotates and rotates the second cover main body 26 in the first direction (clockwise in FIG. 8) acts. As a result, the main body portion 21 is in a closed state in which the upper ends of the operating portions 25b and 26b are separated from each other, while the lower ends of the accommodating portions 25a and 26a are approached and the lower ends of the original accommodating portions 25a and 26a are immediately in contact with each other.

Then, the force acting on the upper ends of the operation portion 25b of the first cover main body 25 and the operation portion 26b of the second cover main body 26 is removed, and the restoring force (elastic force) of the spring member 27 causes the rotation shaft A to be centered. The first cover main body 25 is rotated in the second direction (counterclockwise in FIG. 8), and the second cover main body 26 is rotated in the first direction (clockwise in FIG. 8) to accommodate the main body 21. The lower ends of the portions 25a and 26a are brought into contact with each other in a closed state. As a result, the first connector C11 and the second connector C12 connected to each other are accommodated between the left side regulating portion 22 and the right side regulating portion 23 in the main body portion 21.

一方、第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２からコネクタカバー１０を取り外す際には、コネクタカバー１０の本体部２１の第１カバー本体２５の操作部２５ｂと第２カバー本体２６の操作部２６ｂの上端を把持して該上端同士を近づけて本体部２１を開状態にし、本体部２１内から第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２を取り出せばよい。 On the other hand, when the connector cover 10 is removed from the first connector C11 and the second connector C12, the upper ends of the operation portion 25b of the first cover main body 25 and the operation portion 26b of the second cover main body 26 of the main body portion 21 of the connector cover 10 are removed. The first connector C11 and the second connector C12 may be taken out from the inside of the main body 21 by grasping and bringing the upper ends close to each other to open the main body 21.

－実施形態２の効果－
以上のように、上記コネクタカバー１０は、本体部２１において第１ケーブルＣ１側の一端部に対応する左側端部から該本体部２１の内側に突出し、第１コネクタＣ１１に当接することによって該第１コネクタＣ１１の第２コネクタＣ１２との接続が解除される方向（左方）への移動を規制する左側規制部２２（第１規制部）と、本体部２１において第２ケーブルＣ２側の他端部に対応する右側端部から該本体部２１の内側に突出し、第２コネクタＣ１２に当接することによって該第２コネクタＣ１２の第１コネクタＣ１１との接続が解除される方向（右方）への移動を規制する右側規制部２３（第２規制部）とを含んでいる。そのため、本体部２１内において接続状態にある第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２に接続が解除される（引き離す）力、具体的には、第１コネクタＣ１１に左向きの力、第２コネクタＣ１２に右向きの力が作用しても、第１コネクタＣ１１は左側規制部２２（第１規制部）に当接することによって左方への移動が規制され、第２コネクタＣ１２は右側規制部２３（第２規制部）に当接することによって右方への移動が規制される。つまり、コネクタカバー１０が左側規制部２２と右側規制部２３とを含むことにより、本体部２１内に収容された接続状態にある第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２の接続の緩みが抑制される。よって、第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２の導通不良による電力量の低下や高温に発熱することが回避される。 -Effect of Embodiment 2-
As described above, the connector cover 10 projects inward from the left end portion of the main body portion 21 corresponding to one end portion on the first cable C1 side to the inside of the main body portion 21, and abuts on the first connector C11 to bring the connector cover 10 into contact with the first connector C11. The left side restricting portion 22 (first restricting portion) that restricts the movement of the 1 connector C11 to the second connector C12 in the direction (left), and the other end of the main body portion 21 on the second cable C2 side. A direction (to the right) in which the connection of the second connector C12 with the first connector C11 is released by projecting from the right end portion corresponding to the portion to the inside of the main body portion 21 and abutting on the second connector C12. It includes the right side regulation unit 23 (second regulation unit) that regulates movement. Therefore, the force for disconnecting (pulling) the connection to the first connector C11 and the second connector C12 in the connected state in the main body 21, specifically, the force toward the left to the first connector C11 and the force to the second connector C12. Even if a rightward force is applied, the first connector C11 is restricted from moving to the left by abutting on the left side regulating portion 22 (first regulating portion), and the second connector C12 is restricted from moving to the right side. The movement to the right is restricted by contacting the regulator). That is, since the connector cover 10 includes the left side regulating portion 22 and the right side regulating portion 23, loosening of the connection between the first connector C11 and the second connector C12 in the connected state housed in the main body portion 21 is suppressed. .. Therefore, it is possible to avoid a decrease in the amount of electric power and heat generation at a high temperature due to poor continuity of the first connector C11 and the second connector C12.

また、コネクタカバー１０では、開閉可能な筒状に形成されて第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２を覆う本体部２１が、不燃材料（不燃性樹脂と金属）で構成されている。そして、本体部２１は、内部に収容した接続状態にある第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２の側面全周を一体的に覆う大きさに形成されている。つまり、接続状態にある第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２は、不燃材料からなる本体部２１によって側面全周が覆われることとなる。よって、第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２が経年の使用によって劣化し、導通不良によって高温に発熱して万一発火するようなことがあったとしても、不燃材料からなる本体部２１によって側面全周が覆われているため、周辺の部材、例えば、住宅の屋根に太陽電池パネルＰが設置されているような場合には、ルーフィング又は野地板への延焼が抑制される。また、万一発火するようなことがあっても、コネクタカバー１０によって発火部分（第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２の接続部分）への酸素の供給が抑制されるため、速やかに鎮火されることとなる。 Further, in the connector cover 10, the main body portion 21 which is formed in a cylindrical shape that can be opened and closed and covers the first connector C11 and the second connector C12 is made of a non-combustible material (non-combustible resin and metal). The main body portion 21 is formed to have a size that integrally covers the entire circumference of the side surfaces of the first connector C11 and the second connector C12 that are housed inside and are in a connected state. That is, the entire side surface of the first connector C11 and the second connector C12 in the connected state is covered by the main body portion 21 made of a non-combustible material. Therefore, even if the first connector C11 and the second connector C12 deteriorate due to long-term use and generate heat at a high temperature due to poor continuity and ignite, the main body 21 made of a non-combustible material makes all the sides. Since the circumference is covered, when the solar cell panel P is installed on a peripheral member, for example, the roof of a house, the roofing or the spread of fire to the field board is suppressed. Further, even if a fire should occur, the connector cover 10 suppresses the supply of oxygen to the ignition portion (the connection portion between the first connector C11 and the second connector C12), so that the fire is extinguished promptly. It will be.

また、このようにコネクタカバー１０の本体部２１で第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２の側面全周を一体的に覆うことにより、第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２が保護される。そのため、例えば、太陽電池パネルＰの施工時に誤って第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２を踏みつけてしまっても、コネクタカバー１０の本体部１１によって保護されているため、第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２が破損し難くなる。 Further, by integrally covering the entire side surface of the first connector C11 and the second connector C12 with the main body portion 21 of the connector cover 10 in this way, the first connector C11 and the second connector C12 are protected. Therefore, for example, even if the first connector C11 and the second connector C12 are accidentally trampled during the construction of the solar cell panel P, the first connector C11 and the second connector C11 and the second connector C11 are protected by the main body 11 of the connector cover 10. The connector C12 is less likely to be damaged.

また、コネクタカバー１０では、本体部２１がばね部材２７を含むことにより、本体部２１が、第１カバー本体２５の収容部２５ａと第２カバー本体２６の収容部２６ａの下端同士が離れた開状態の際に、閉状態になるように付勢する弾性力が作用するように構成されている。このような構成により、本体部２１を容易に開くことができ、コネクタカバー１０の着脱が容易になる。 Further, in the connector cover 10, since the main body 21 includes the spring member 27, the main body 21 is opened so that the lower ends of the accommodating portion 25a of the first cover main body 25 and the accommodating portion 26a of the second cover main body 26 are separated from each other. In the state, it is configured so that an elastic force that urges the closed state acts. With such a configuration, the main body 21 can be easily opened, and the connector cover 10 can be easily attached and detached.

また、コネクタカバー１０は、第１コネクタＣ１１に当接して該第１コネクタＣ１１の左方への移動を規制する左側規制部２２（第１規制部）と、第２コネクタＣ１２に当接して該第２コネクタＣ１２の右方への移動を規制する右側規制部２３（第２規制部）とを２つずつ有している。コネクタカバー１０が左側規制部２２及び右側規制部２３を少なくとも１つずつ有していれば本体部２１内に収容された接続状態にある第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２の接続の緩みが抑制されるが、左側規制部２２及び右側規制部２３を複数有することにより、第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２の接続の緩みがより確実に抑制される。 Further, the connector cover 10 abuts on the left side regulating portion 22 (first regulating portion) that abuts on the first connector C11 and restricts the movement of the first connector C11 to the left, and abuts on the second connector C12. It has two right-side regulating units 23 (second regulating units) that regulate the movement of the second connector C12 to the right. If the connector cover 10 has at least one left side regulating portion 22 and one right side regulating portion 23, loosening of the connection between the first connector C11 and the second connector C12 in the connected state housed in the main body portion 21 is suppressed. However, by having a plurality of left side restricting portions 22 and right side regulating portions 23, loosening of the connection between the first connector C11 and the second connector C12 is more reliably suppressed.

また、上記コネクタカバー１０では、左側規制部２２（第１規制部）及び右側規制部２３（第２規制部）が、本体部２１を構成する第１カバー本体２５及び第２カバー本体２６と不燃性樹脂を射出成形することによって一体に形成されている。よって、コネクタカバー１０は、容易に形成される。 Further, in the connector cover 10, the left side regulating portion 22 (first regulating section) and the right side regulating section 23 (second regulating section) are incombustible with the first cover main body 25 and the second cover main body 26 constituting the main body section 21. It is integrally formed by injection molding a sex resin. Therefore, the connector cover 10 is easily formed.

－コネクタカバーの着脱手順－
次に、コネクタカバー１０の着脱手順について説明する。 -Procedure for attaching and detaching the connector cover-
Next, the procedure for attaching and detaching the connector cover 10 will be described.

なお、図１２に示すように、コネクタカバー１０の第１部材３１と第２部材３２とは、予め、第１ケーブルＣ１と第２ケーブルＣ２とにそれぞれ挿通されている。具体的には、第１ケーブルＣ１及び第２ケーブルＣ２を太陽電池パネルＰに接続する際に、第１ケーブルＣ１を第１挿通孔３８に挿通させ、第２ケーブルＣ２を第２挿通孔３９に挿通させた状態で第１ケーブルＣ１及び第２ケーブルＣ２を太陽電池パネルＰに接続する。 As shown in FIG. 12, the first member 31 and the second member 32 of the connector cover 10 are previously inserted into the first cable C1 and the second cable C2, respectively. Specifically, when connecting the first cable C1 and the second cable C2 to the solar cell panel P, the first cable C1 is inserted into the first insertion hole 38, and the second cable C2 is inserted into the second insertion hole 39. The first cable C1 and the second cable C2 are connected to the solar cell panel P in the inserted state.

コネクタカバー１０を第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２に装着する際には、まず、コネクタカバー１０の第１部材３１を、第１ケーブルＣ１に沿って隣の太陽電池パネルＰ方向まで移動させ、第１遮蔽部３４が第１コネクタＣ１１に当接したところで移動を止める。この状態において、互いに接続された第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２は、側面全周が第１部材３１によって覆われる。 When attaching the connector cover 10 to the first connector C11 and the second connector C12, first, the first member 31 of the connector cover 10 is moved along the first cable C1 toward the adjacent solar cell panel P. The movement is stopped when the first shielding portion 34 comes into contact with the first connector C11. In this state, the entire side surface of the first connector C11 and the second connector C12 connected to each other is covered with the first member 31.

次に、コネクタカバー１０の第２部材３２を、第２ケーブルＣ２に沿って第１部材３１とは逆方向に移動させる。そして、互いに接続された第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２を覆う第１部材３１に対して第２部材３２をスライドさせることにより、第２本体部３５を第１本体部３３に対して外側から嵌め入れる。これにより、第１部材３１が第２本体部３５内に収容される。第１部材３１の全体が第２本体部３５の内部に収容されたところで、第２部材３２の２つの係合部３７を折り曲げて第１部材３１の第１遮蔽部３４に当接させる。これにより、第２部材３２の第１部材３１に対するスライドが規制され、第１部材３１が第２部材３２内に保持される。 Next, the second member 32 of the connector cover 10 is moved along the second cable C2 in the direction opposite to that of the first member 31. Then, by sliding the second member 32 with respect to the first member 31 covering the first connector C11 and the second connector C12 connected to each other, the second main body portion 35 is moved from the outside with respect to the first main body portion 33. Fit in. As a result, the first member 31 is housed in the second main body portion 35. When the entire first member 31 is housed inside the second main body 35, the two engaging portions 37 of the second member 32 are bent and brought into contact with the first shielding portion 34 of the first member 31. As a result, the slide of the second member 32 with respect to the first member 31 is restricted, and the first member 31 is held in the second member 32.

以上のようにして、互いに接続された第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２にコネクタカバー１０が装着される。 As described above, the connector cover 10 is attached to the first connector C11 and the second connector C12 connected to each other.

一方、第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２からコネクタカバー１０を取り外す際には、折り曲げていたコネクタカバー１０の第２部材３２の２つの係合部３７を第２本体部３５の前面及び後面に平行な元の位置に戻し、第２部材３２を第１部材３１に対して第２ケーブルＣ２側にスライドさせて第１部材３１を露出させる。第１本体部３３の右側端部（第１本体部３３の他端部）は開口しているため、第１部材３１を第１ケーブルＣ１側に移動させることにより、第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２を取り出せばよい。 On the other hand, when the connector cover 10 is removed from the first connector C11 and the second connector C12, the two engaging portions 37 of the second member 32 of the bent connector cover 10 are placed on the front surface and the rear surface of the second main body portion 35. Returning to the original parallel position, the second member 32 is slid toward the second cable C2 with respect to the first member 31 to expose the first member 31. Since the right end of the first main body 33 (the other end of the first main body 33) is open, the first connector C11 and the second connector C11 and the second can be obtained by moving the first member 31 to the first cable C1 side. The connector C12 may be taken out.

－実施形態３の効果－
以上のように、上記コネクタカバー１０は、接続状態にある第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２の側面全周を第１本体部３３及び第２本体部３５で２重に覆うと共に、第１本体部３３の左端部を覆う第１遮蔽部３４と第２本体部３５の右端部を覆う第２遮蔽部３６とのＺ方向（左右方向）の間隔が、接続状態にある第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２のＺ方向の長さより僅かに大きくなるように形成されている。そのため、第１本体部３３及び第２本体部３５内において接続状態にある第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２に接続が解除される（引き離す）力、具体的には、第１コネクタＣ１１に左向きの力、第２コネクタＣ１２に右向きの力が作用しても、第１コネクタＣ１１は第１遮蔽部３４に当接することによって左方への移動が規制され、第２コネクタＣ１２は第２遮蔽部３６に当接することによって右方への移動が規制される。つまり、第１遮蔽部３４と第２遮蔽部３６とが上述のような間隔で設けられることにより、第１本体部３３及び第２本体部３５内に収容された接続状態にある第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２の接続の緩みが抑制される。よって、第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２の導通不良による電力量の低下や高温に発熱することが回避される。 -Effect of Embodiment 3-
As described above, the connector cover 10 double covers the entire side surface of the first connector C11 and the second connector C12 in the connected state with the first main body 33 and the second main body 35, and the first main body. The Z-direction (left-right direction) distance between the first shielding portion 34 covering the left end portion of the portion 33 and the second shielding portion 36 covering the right end portion of the second main body portion 35 is the first connector C11 and the first connector in the connected state. The two connectors C12 are formed so as to be slightly larger than the length in the Z direction. Therefore, the force for disconnecting (pulling) the connection to the first connector C11 and the second connector C12 in the connected state in the first main body 33 and the second main body 35, specifically, facing left to the first connector C11. Even if a rightward force acts on the second connector C12, the first connector C11 is restricted from moving to the left by abutting on the first shielding portion 34, and the second connector C12 has the second shielding portion. By abutting on 36, the movement to the right is restricted. That is, by providing the first shielding portion 34 and the second shielding portion 36 at the intervals as described above, the first connector C11 in the connected state housed in the first main body portion 33 and the second main body portion 35. And the looseness of the connection of the second connector C12 is suppressed. Therefore, it is possible to avoid a decrease in the amount of electric power and heat generation at a high temperature due to poor continuity of the first connector C11 and the second connector C12.

また、コネクタカバー１０は、不燃材料である金属板で筒状に形成された第１本体部３３及び第２本体部３５を有する第１部材３１及び第２部材３２で、接続状態にある第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２の側面全周を２重に覆う。つまり、接続状態にある第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２は、不燃材料からなる第１部材３１及び第２部材３２によって側面全周が２重に覆われることとなる。よって、第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２が経年の使用によって劣化し、導通不良によって高温に発熱して万一発火するようなことがあったとしても、不燃材料からなる第１部材３１及び第２部材３２によって側面全周が２重に覆われているため、周辺の部材、例えば、住宅の屋根に太陽電池パネルＰが設置されているような場合には、ルーフィング又は野地板への延焼が抑制される。また、万一発火するようなことがあっても、コネクタカバー１０によって発火部分（第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２の接続部分）への酸素の供給が抑制されるため、速やかに鎮火されることとなる。 Further, the connector cover 10 is a first member 31 and a second member 32 having a first main body portion 33 and a second main body portion 35 formed in a tubular shape by a metal plate made of a non-combustible material, and the first member is in a connected state. Doublely covers the entire side surface of the connector C11 and the second connector C12. That is, the entire side surface of the first connector C11 and the second connector C12 in the connected state is doubly covered by the first member 31 and the second member 32 made of noncombustible materials. Therefore, even if the first connector C11 and the second connector C12 deteriorate due to long-term use and generate heat at a high temperature due to poor continuity and may ignite, the first member 31 and the first member made of a non-combustible material and the first member Since the entire circumference of the side surface is doubly covered by the two members 32, if the solar cell panel P is installed on a peripheral member, for example, the roof of a house, the roofing or the spread of fire to the field board may occur. It is suppressed. Further, even if a fire should occur, the connector cover 10 suppresses the supply of oxygen to the ignition portion (the connection portion between the first connector C11 and the second connector C12), so that the fire is extinguished promptly. It will be.

また、このようにコネクタカバー１０の不燃材料からなる第１部材３１及び第２部材３２によって側面全周を２重に覆うことにより、第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２がより堅固に保護される。そのため、例えば、太陽電池パネルＰの施工時に誤って第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２を踏みつけてしまっても、コネクタカバー１０の第１本体部３３及び第２本体部３５によって２重に保護されているため、第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２が破損し難くなる。 Further, by double covering the entire side surface with the first member 31 and the second member 32 made of the noncombustible material of the connector cover 10 in this way, the first connector C11 and the second connector C12 are more firmly protected. .. Therefore, for example, even if the first connector C11 and the second connector C12 are accidentally trampled during the construction of the solar cell panel P, they are doubly protected by the first main body 33 and the second main body 35 of the connector cover 10. Therefore, the first connector C11 and the second connector C12 are less likely to be damaged.

また、コネクタカバー１０は、第１部材３１と第２部材３２とをＺ方向（第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２の着脱方向）にスライドさせるだけで容易に第１コネクタＣ１１及び第２コネクタＣ１２を露出させることができる。このような構成により、コネクタカバー１０の着脱が容易になる。 Further, the connector cover 10 can easily slide the first member 31 and the second member 32 in the Z direction (the attachment / detachment direction of the first connector C11 and the second connector C12) to easily slide the first connector C11 and the second connector C12. Can be exposed. With such a configuration, the connector cover 10 can be easily attached and detached.
