BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a structure of a connector cover of a cable widely used for wiring various electronic devices.

With the recent miniaturization of equipment, the gap between the printed board and the door of the device has become narrower, and it is necessary to keep the lead-out dimension of the cable connected to the cable connector (hereinafter abbreviated as connector) coupled to the printed board small. Has occurred. Therefore, a connector cover with a small extraction dimension is used, but since the cable extraction direction is fixed and the mounting work is complicated, a new connector cover structure that allows the cable extraction direction to be set arbitrarily is required. Has been done.

[Conventional technology]

The structure of the connector cover that has been widely used in the past is
The printed board 1 is connected to the printed board 1 by the connector 2-1 as shown in FIG.
When the cable 2 that is connected to and is pulled out in the horizontal direction is bent, the distance “S” from the printed board 1 to the bent portion of the cable 2 increases, and mounting wiring is difficult in a small device. As shown in Fig. 2, one side is open and the size is large enough to allow the connector 2-1 of the cable 2 to be loosely inserted.
Alternatively, the distance from the printed board 1 to the cable 2 may be increased by a cover 3 provided in the box formed of synthetic resin on the bottom side of the center of one of the side walls facing each other in the longitudinal direction for pulling out the cable 2 in the longitudinal direction. It is configured to reduce S ″.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

The problem with the structure of the conventional connector cover described above is that the cable lead-through hole of the connector cover is
Since the cable provided on the side wall and connected to the printed board is fixed in one direction with respect to the printed board, it is necessary to be aware of the cable pull-out direction when connecting the connector in a small device. Also, there is a problem that the mounting wire work becomes difficult and the manufacturing cost rises, and the number of types of connector covers increases, which makes management complicated.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a new connector cover structure capable of fixing the cable connected to the printed board by setting the pull-out direction to an arbitrary direction.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

According to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, a through hole 13a for drawing out the cable 2 connected to the connector 2-1 is formed at the center of the bottom surface of the box into which the connector 2-1 is loosely inserted.
The cover 13 is provided with locking holes 13b having a constant shape on both edges of both side walls facing each other in the short dimension, and the U-shaped opening side tip that can be fitted onto the cable 2 is attached to the locking holes 13b. Means, for example, an elastic clamp member 14 in which a hook 14a is formed, and the hook 14a of the clamp member 14 is attached to the cover 13
By engaging with the locking hole 13b of the cable 2
Is configured to be fixed in any direction.

[Action]

In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, a cover 13 is fitted to a connector 2-1 indicated by a chain double-dashed line connected to a printed board 1 as shown in FIG. Since the cable 2 can be bent in any one direction along the groove 13c on the outer surface, the clamp member 14 is externally fitted to the bent cable 2 and the engaging means 14a provided at the tip is attached. Since the cable 2 is easily fixed by being engaged with the locking hole 13b of the cover 13, it is possible to easily select and change the drawing direction and to shorten the distance "S" from the printed board 1. .

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the structure of a connector cover according to this embodiment, and FIG. 2 shows a cable fixing method according to this embodiment. In the figure, the same members as those in FIG. 3 have the same symbols. However, the other 13 are the connectors 2- of the cable 1.
A cover 1 and 14 are clamp members for bending and fixing the cable 1.

The cover 13 has a semicircular or V-shaped groove 13c formed in the longitudinal direction on the outer surface on the bottom surface side of the box formed to have a size that allows the connector 2-1 of the cable 2 shown by the two-dot chain line to be loosely inserted and open on one side. Then, a through hole 13a for drawing out the cable 2 is bored in the central portion thereof, and locking holes 13b are respectively provided on both end edges of both side walls facing each other in the short dimension direction, and the through hole 13a is molded from metal or synthetic resin. .

The clamp member 14 is formed of an elastic material, for example, a synthetic resin, into an inner U-shape into which the cable 2 can be inserted.
Shape that can be attached to b, eg hook 14 protruding inward
a is provided.

The cable fixing method using the above member is performed by fitting the cover 13 to the connector 2-1 of the cable 2 shown by the chain double-dashed line connected to the printed board 1 shown in FIG. After pulling out the cable 2 from the through hole 13a, bend the cable 2 in any arbitrary direction along the groove 13c on the outer surface,
The cable 2 is fixed by externally fitting the clamp member 14 to the cable 2 and engaging the hook 14a at the tip with the locking hole 13b of the cover 13.

As a result, the cable 2 drawn out from the through hole 13a can be bent in any one direction of the groove 13c formed in the cover 13 and can be easily fixed by the clamp member 14, so that the drawing direction can be easily selected, and the cable can be easily selected. The distance "S" between the printed circuit board 1 and the printed circuit board 1 can be shortened.

[Effect of device]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, the cable can be bent in any direction and can be easily fixed, so that the pull-out direction can be easily selected.
In addition, since the distance between the cable and the printed board is shortened, there is an advantage that the device can be downsized and the like, and it is possible to provide a structure of the connector cover which can be expected to be significantly economical and to improve reliability. .
