Description

Connector {Connector}

The present invention relates to a connector, and more particularly, to a connector for performing electrical connection by combining with a counterpart connector.

A connector generally has a terminal made of a conductive material inside a housing made of an insulating material, and is coupled to a counterpart connector to form a circuit by electrically coupling the terminals to each other.

In order for the connector to continuously maintain an electrical connection with the mating connector, the coupling between the housing of the connector and the housing of the mating connector must be more reliably maintained. In order to maintain the coupling between the connectors, the housing of one connector has a fastening jaw in a fixed state, and the housing of the other connector has a fastening lever elastically deformable so as to be hung on the fastening jaw.

The coupling between the connector and the counterpart connector is maintained while one side of the fastening lever is hung on the fastening jaw, and the electrical connection is also continuously made.

If the coupling between the connectors is not performed properly, the electrical connection between the terminals is also not made smoothly, so that the circuit cannot operate properly, and thus the desired component does not operate properly.

In order to solve this problem, as in the prior art document presented below, a striking sound by an elastic restoring force is generated at the moment when the fastening lever is hung on the fastening jaw, so that the operator can confirm that the coupling between the connectors is well made through the striking sound. making sure to check In addition, there is a pressing part at the rear end of the fastening lever, so that the fastening lever is elastically deformed by the operator pressing this part, and is separated from the fastening jaw, so that the coupling between the connectors can be separated.

However, in the prior art literature, the pressing part for the operator to operate the fastening lever is not shielded by the shielding cover so that the operation is possible while being located at the rear end of the housing. Therefore, some of the workers, for example, hold the mating connector in the left hand and the connector in the right hand while performing the coupling between the connectors while pressing the pressing part of the fastening lever to the mating connector in a state in which the fastening lever is already elastically deformed. to allow the association of

Such a state can easily occur if the operator does not pay attention because the pressing part is exposed at the rear end of the housing. This state is problematic because, in the process of coupling between the connectors, no hitting sound is generated due to the restoring force of the fastening lever, so that the operator cannot confirm the complete coupling of the fastening lever and the fastening jaw.

In addition, when the operator engages the connector while pressing the pressing part of the fastening lever, and then removes the force applied to the pressing part, the fastening lever is not completely coupled to the fastening jaw and part of the fastening jaw It may be in a state of being walked on. That is, the coupling between the fastening lever and the fastening jaw is incomplete. Of course, in this case, the coupling between the terminals is incomplete in most cases, so that the incomplete coupling between the connectors is not detected even during the test process after the assembly operation.

Therefore, in this state, when the fastening lever is separated from the fastening jaw due to vibrations generated during use of the connector, the electrical connection between the terminals is also separated and the electrical connection is cut off, so that the corresponding circuit does not operate or power is supplied to the corresponding part. Problems such as non-existence arise.

The window 23 is not necessarily present, but if there is, it may be more helpful to check the state of the fastening lever 26 and listen to the sound of the hitting.

The shield cover 18 extends to the rear end 14 of the housing 12 in the illustrated embodiment. That is, the upper plate 20 extends to the rear end 14 of the housing 12 so that the corresponding portion of the fastening lever 26 positioned therein is not visible. However, the upper plate 20 does not have to be completely invisible to the fastening space 24 therein. For example, it may be opened so that a part of the fastening space 24 is visible, that is, only a part of the fastening lever 26 is visible, and so that force is not applied to the fastening lever 26 by the operator. .

In the shielding cover 18 , the upper plate 20 is not present in the portion corresponding to the front end 13 of the housing 12 . That is, in the illustrated embodiment, only the sidewalls 22 of the shielding cover 18 are on both sides and the top plate 20 is absent from the portion adjacent to the front end 13 . In a portion where the upper plate 20 is not formed, the pressing portion 32 of the fastening lever 26 to be described below is exposed to the outside.

The second connection portion 30 is also formed to be biased toward the front end portion 13 of the housing 12 . The second connection portion 30 extends from both ends of the fastening lever 26 in the width direction toward the upper plate 20 , respectively, and is connected to the shield cover 18 .

The first connection part 28 and the second connection part 30 do not necessarily have to exist, but at least one of the first connection part 28 and the second connection part 30 may be provided. The first connecting portion 28 and the second connecting portion 30 are substantially at the same position in the longitudinal direction of the fastening lever 26 .

The fastening lever 26 has a pressing part 32 . The pressing part 32 means the front end part 13 side of the housing 12 with respect to the first connection part 28 or the second connection part 30 . A pressing protrusion 33 is formed to protrude from the pressing portion 32 . The pressing protrusion 33 is made in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, and is used when the operator wants to elastically deform the fastening lever 26 during separation. The operator can elastically deform the fastening lever 26 by pressing this part by hand. Here, the pressing protrusion 33 does not protrude further than the side wall 22 . That is, the pressing protrusion 33 protrudes to the same extent as the height of the side wall 22 or the upper end of the pressing protrusion 33 is located lower than the upper end of the side wall 22 so that the pressing protrusion 33 is higher than the side wall 22 . It may protrude less.

The part of the fastening lever 26 corresponding to the opposite side of the pressing part 32 is the fastening part 34 . The fastening part 34 has a locking protrusion 36 . In this embodiment, the locking jaw 36 protrudes toward the inner space 16 of the housing 12 . These locking jaws 36 are not visible in FIG. 3 but can be seen in FIG. 5 . Reference numeral 37 denotes a guide inclined surface formed on the locking jaw 36 .

Reference numeral 38 denotes a seal, which prevents moisture from penetrating into a portion where the terminal of the connector 10 and the terminal (not shown) of the mating connector 40 are coupled.

The counter housing 42 is also made of an insulating synthetic resin. A terminal seating space is created through the inside of the counter housing 42, and the counter terminal is installed therein.

A fastening jaw 44 protrudes from the front end of the outer surface of the counter housing 42 . The fastening jaw 44 has a guide inclined surface 45 . The guide inclined surface 45 is made to be inclined downward toward the front of the mating housing 42, and is interlocked with the guide inclined surface 37 of the locking jaw 36. When the connector 10 and the mating connector 40 are coupled They are interlocked with each other so that the fastening lever 26 can be elastically deformed.

Adhesive ribs 46 are formed side by side on the outer surface of the mating housing 42 corresponding to both sides of the fastening jaw 44 . The close contact rib 46 prevents a play from occurring when the housing 12 and the counter housing 42 are coupled to each other. The close contact rib 46 is in close contact with the fastening lever 26 .

Hereinafter, the use of the connector according to the present invention having the above-described configuration will be described in detail.

In the present invention, when the connector 10 and the mating connector 40 are coupled, a striking sound is generated by the collision between the fastening lever 26 and the mating housing 42, so that the operator can confirm the completion of the coupling. .

The tip of the mating housing 42 is inserted into the inner space 16 of the connector 10 , and the fastening jaw 44 moves along the lower portion of the fastening lever 26 . When the locking jaw 44 meets the locking jaw 36 of the locking lever 26 , the guide inclined surface 37 of the locking jaw 36 moves along the guide inclined surface 45 of the locking jaw 44 . makes you do Such movement creates elastic deformation of the fastening lever 26 .

A state in which the fastening lever 26 is elastically deformed by the fastening jaw 44 is well illustrated in FIG. 5 . The elastic deformation state of the fastening lever 26 is restored when the locking jaw 36 rides over the fastening jaw 44 . That is, the fastening lever 26 is restored to a circular shape from the state of FIG. 6 to the state of FIG. 5 . In this process, the fastening lever 26 and the counter housing 42 collide, and accordingly, a hitting sound is generated, so that the operator can recognize that the fastening is completed.

Meanwhile, when workers hold the connector 10 by hand, they hold the outer surface of the rear end of the housing 12 with their thumb and index finger. Such a state is shown in FIG. 7 . In the present invention, the pressing part 32 capable of elastically deforming the fastening lever 26 is located on the tip 13 side of the housing 12 so that the operator can connect the connector 10 and the mating connector 40 to the connector. When holding (10), the pressing part (32) side is not held. That is, the rear end 14 of the housing 12 is naturally held by the hand. Therefore, when the connector 10 and the mating connector 40 are coupled, the operation can be performed in a state in which the operator does not elastically deform the fastening lever 26 .

Accordingly, the fastening lever 26 is elastically deformed during the coupling process of the connector 10 and the mating connector 40 by interlocking with the fastening jaw 44, and is restored when the coupling is completed to generate a striking sound. In particular, in the present invention, the portion where the fastening lever 26 is exposed to the outside of the housing 12 is outside the portion where the finger is naturally positioned when the operator holds the housing 12 . Accordingly, the coupling operation of the connector 10 and the mating connector 40 can be performed in a state in which the fastening lever 26 is not affected by the operator.

Next, as shown in FIG. 5 , in order to release the coupling between the locking jaws 36 of the locking lever 26 and the locking jaws 44 of the counter housing 42 in a state in which they are coupled to each other, the It is necessary for the fastening lever 26 to be elastically deformed.

The operator creates elastic deformation of the fastening lever 26 by manipulating the pressing part 32 of the fastening lever 26 exposed to the outside of the shielding cover 18 . That is, when the operator presses the pressing protrusion 33 of the pressing part 32 by hand, the fastening part 34 having the engaging protrusion 36 opposite to the first and second connecting parts 28 and 30 based on the ) part is lifted, the locking jaw 36 is separated from the fastening jaw 44 . In this state, when the connector 10 and the mating connector 40 are relatively moved in a direction in which they are separated from each other, the connector 10 and the mating connector 40 are separated from each other.
