Description

  The present invention relates to a connector in which a crimp terminal crimped to an electric wire end is accommodated and held in a cavity of a housing.

  Conventionally, a connector in which a crimp terminal is accommodated in a cavity is attached to an end of an electric wire routed in an electrical system such as an automobile, and this connector is connected to a connector on the side of various electrical components. The power from the battery is supplied to various electrical components.

  By the way, in the conventional connector, for example, as described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 4-111159 (Patent Document 1) and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2012-151061 (Patent Document 2), The crimp terminal accommodated in the predetermined position is stably fixed and held without moving from the predetermined position by a mechanism such as a resin lance.

  By the way, the portion of the covered electric wire that extends outward from the crimping portion of the crimp terminal through the opening of the cavity is arranged with a large gap between the opening of the cavity and the range of the gap. It can be displaced by. Therefore, when the vehicle is mounted, the covered electric wire portion extending outward from the crimp terminal due to vibration transmission from the vehicle is displaced and repeatedly abuts on the corners of the cavity opening of the housing, so that a local external force is applied to the covered electric wire. There was a risk of disconnection.

  In addition, the crimp terminal includes a core caulking portion that is caulked and fixed to the core wire of the covered electric wire, and a covered caulking portion that is provided behind and is caulked and fixed to the insulating coating portion of the covered electric wire. When the covered electric wire is displaced by such vibration, excessive bending or stress concentration occurs at the boundary between the covered caulking portion and the covered electric wire, and there is a problem that the electric wire is likely to break at the boundary. In particular, when it is attached to a place where vibration such as a horn is intense, the above-mentioned problem of breakage of the electric wire becomes prominent, so some countermeasure has been demanded.

  The present invention has been made in the background of the above-described circumstances, and a problem to be solved is to provide a connector having a novel structure in which the possibility of disconnection due to vibration is reduced.

  A first aspect of the present invention includes a crimp terminal crimped to a terminal of a covered electric wire and a housing in which a cavity for accommodating the crimp terminal is formed, and the crimp terminal is inserted from an opening of the cavity. In the connector accommodated and held in the cavity, the crimp terminal is caulked and fixed to the core wire of the covered electric wire, and the covered caulked portion is caulked and fixed to the insulating coating portion of the covered electric wire. An elastic cylindrical member that is divided in the circumferential direction by a slit formed at least at one location on the circumference with respect to the covered crimped portion of the crimp terminal is externally fitted from the slit to the coated crimped portion. On the other hand, in the extending direction of the covered electric wire, the elastic tube member extends across both sides of the boundary portion between the covered caulking portion and the covered electric wire, and the elastic tube As one axial end of the timber begins to extend outward from the opening of the housing, characterized in that it comprises positioning means for positioning and holding said resilient tubular member with respect to the covered electric wire.

  According to this aspect, the elastic cylinder member which covers the periphery area | region of a covering crimping | crimped part from the outside with respect to a crimped electric wire is positioned, and is fitted and fixed. Thus, even when the connector is vibrated by external vibration, the covered electric wire is brought into contact with the housing via the elastic cylindrical member. Therefore, even when the covered wire is brought into contact with the corner of the opening of the cavity of the housing due to vibration, the contact is made through the elastic cylinder member, and the contact is caused by the buffering action of the elastic cylinder member. The possibility of breakage of the covered electric wire due to can be reduced as much as possible. Therefore, it can be suitably employed for a connector or the like that is attached to a member with intense vibration such as a horn.

  And since the elastic cylinder member is extended over the both sides of the boundary part of a covering crimping part and a covered electric wire, reinforcement of the covered electric wire in this boundary part is performed. Therefore, excessive bending and stress concentration at the boundary are prevented or alleviated, and the risk of disconnection associated therewith is also reduced.

  In addition, since the elastic cylindrical member is divided in the circumferential direction by a slit formed at least at one place on the circumference, it is possible to open the slit and easily fit the covered caulked portion of the covered electric wire. Can be attached to a covered electric wire. That is, since the cylindrical wall of the elastic cylindrical member is divided in the circumferential direction by the slit, the elastic cylindrical member can be rear-fixed to the covering crimped portion of the crimp terminal after the crimp terminal is crimped to the covered electric wire. It is. Therefore, it is not necessary to insert the elastic cylinder member into the covered electric wire in advance before crimping the crimp terminal and perform the crimping operation, and the elastic cylinder member can be easily made into the crimp terminal without complicating the manufacturing process. It can be assembled. The slit is not limited to one place, and is formed in two places, and the elastic cylindrical member is configured by a pair of halves, and the pair of halves are mutually connected from both sides sandwiching the covering caulking portion therebetween. It may be assembled.

  In addition, the positioning means is positioned and held at a predetermined position where it extends over both sides of the boundary portion between the coated crimped portion and the coated electric wire and one end in the axial direction extends outward from the opening of the housing. Therefore, the disconnection preventing effect as described above can be stably exhibited. The positioning means positions the elastic cylinder member at the desired position on the covered electric wire, such as a concave / convex engagement structure provided between the elastic cylindrical member and the covered caulking portion or the covered electric wire, or fixing with an adhesive or tape winding. Any structure can be adopted as long as it can be held.

  The second aspect of the present invention is the coating according to the first aspect, wherein the positioning means has an opening formed on an inner surface of the elastic cylindrical member and protrudes radially outward from the covered electric wire. It is comprised including the recessed part which accommodates a caulking part.

  According to this aspect, the elastic cylindrical member and the covering caulking portion are connected to the concave and convex portions in both directions in the extending direction of the covered electric wire by a simple structure in which the covering caulking portion is accommodated in the concave portion formed on the inner surface of the elastic cylindrical member. In combination, the elastic cylindrical member can be positioned and held with respect to the covered electric wire. Thereby, the positioning of the elastic cylindrical member in the extending direction of the covered electric wire can be reliably realized without requiring any additional parts or additional work. In addition, since the concavo-convex engagement structure can be formed between the elastic cylindrical member and the cover caulking portion, the positioning means can be configured without enlarging the elastic cylindrical member due to outward projection or the like. .

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the one described in the first or second aspect, the positioning means protrudes outward in the axial direction at the one axial end portion of the elastic cylindrical member, and It is configured to include a collar portion that abuts against an end surface of the opening of the housing.

  According to this aspect, the collar part of an elastic cylinder member contact | abuts to the end surface of the opening part of a housing, and the position shift to the housing inward of an elastic cylinder member is prevented advantageously.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the one described in the first or second aspect, the positioning means protrudes integrally from the one axial end portion of the elastic cylindrical member and extends along the covered electric wire. The fixed piece that extends is fixed on the covered electric wire with an adhesive tape.

  According to this aspect, by fixing the fixed piece integrally provided on the elastic cylindrical member to the covered electric wire by tape winding, the elastic cylindrical member can be reliably positioned and held with respect to the covered electric wire. Moreover, since the fixed piece extends along the covered electric wire, it is advantageously prevented that the positioning means protrudes greatly outward in the radial direction of the covered electric wire.

  According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the one according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, the elastic cylinder member holds the elastic cylinder member in an externally fitted state around the covering caulking portion. It is provided with fixing means.

According to this aspect, the elastic cylinder member can be reliably prevented from opening in the slit portion, and the elastic cylinder member can be stably held in the outer fitting state around the covering caulking portion.
The fixing means may be any means as long as the slit portion is held in a closed state, and can be advantageously realized by providing an uneven fitting portion on the inner peripheral surface or side wall of the elastic cylindrical member.

  According to the connector of the present invention, the elastic cylindrical member that covers the peripheral region of the covered caulking portion from the outside is fixed by being fitted, and the elastic cylindrical member straddles the boundary portion between the covered caulking portion and the covered electric wire. It is positioned and held at a predetermined position that extends outward from the portion. Therefore, the risk of disconnection of the covered electric wire can be reduced as much as possible by the buffering action and the reinforcing action of the elastic cylindrical member.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  First, the connector 10 as 1st embodiment of this invention is shown by FIGS. 1-2. The connector 10 includes a crimp terminal 12 that is crimped to an end of a covered electric wire 22 described later, and a housing 16 in which a cavity 14 in which the crimp terminal 12 is accommodated is formed. The crimp terminal 12 is inserted through the opening 18 of the cavity 14 and is accommodated and held in the cavity 14. And the elastic cylinder member 20 is externally fitted in the covering crimping part 30 of the covered electric wire 22 to be described later in the crimp terminal 12. In the following description, the front means the left in FIG. 2, the rear means the right in FIG. 2, and the upper means the upper in FIG. 2, and the lower means the lower in FIG. And

  The crimp terminal 12 is formed by press punching a metal flat plate such as a copper alloy. Then, at the rear end portion of the crimp terminal 12, a core wire caulking portion 26 that is caulked and fixed to the core wire 24 of the covered electric wire 22, and a covering caulking portion 30 that is caulked and fixed to the insulating coating portion 28 of the covered electric wire 22. Crimped to the terminal. On the other hand, the distal end portion 32 of the crimp terminal 12 is formed with a rectangular flat plate portion 34 and a pair of hook-shaped contact portions 36 that open in the axial direction. The pair of contact portions 36 and 36 are formed by bending extending portions extending in the direction perpendicular to the axis from both side edge portions of the flat plate portion 34 toward the flat plate portion 34. Thereby, a pair of contact part 36 and 36 can be bent and deformed to an up-down direction.

  The covered electric wire 22 has a structure in which a core wire 24 obtained by bundling a plurality of metal wires such as copper, aluminum, or the like, which is a conductor, is covered with an insulating covering portion 28 having an electrical insulating property such as ethylene resin or styrene resin. ing. Then, the core wire 24 is exposed by peeling off the insulating coating portion 28 on the distal end side of the covered electric wire 22.

  The housing 16 is a synthetic resin housing (female housing), and a lock arm 38 for locking a fitting state with a mating housing (not shown) is disposed on one side surface. As shown in FIG. 1, the lock arm 38 is formed in a cantilever shape in which the front end portion of the housing 16 is connected, and can be bent in a state where the rear portion in the length direction is curved inward. Further, a lock projection 40 for the mating housing is formed at the center in the length direction.

  A cavity 14 penetrating in the front-rear direction is formed inside the housing 16 so that the crimp terminal 12 can be inserted from behind. A resin lance 42 is formed in the cavity 14 so as to extend forward in a cantilevered manner along the inner wall thereof. The resin lance 42 cantilevered forward and can be bent in a direction perpendicular to the extending direction. The resin lance 42 is formed with a locking projection 44 that protrudes toward the cavity 14.

  The elastic cylinder member 20 is formed of a synthetic rubber material such as EPDM, silicone rubber, NBR, and the like, and has a square cylinder shape that opens in both the front and rear directions, and at the center of the upper surface of the elastic cylinder member 20. The slits 46 are divided in the circumferential direction. In addition, a rectangular recess 52 that opens to the inner surface 48 is formed on the upper surface of the inner surface 48 of the elastic cylinder member 20, while the inner surface 48 opens forward to the bottom surface of the inner surface 48 of the elastic cylinder member 20. A rectangular recess 56 is provided.

  When the elastic cylinder member 20 having such a structure is attached to the crimp terminal 12, the slit 46 on the upper surface of the elastic cylinder member 20 is largely opened, so that the crimp terminal 12 of the elastic cylinder member 20 is passed through the slit 46. It can be easily inserted into the inner surface 48. At this time, the upper part of the covering caulking part 30 protruding radially outward from the covered electric wire 22 is accommodated in the concave part 52, and the lower part of the covering caulking part 30 is accommodated in the concave part 56, and an elastic cylinder formed of a synthetic rubber material. The accommodation state is maintained by the restoring force of the member 20. Thereby, in the extending direction of the covered electric wire 22, the elastic cylindrical member 20 is positioned and held so as to extend across both sides of the boundary portion between the covered caulking portion 30 and the covered electric wire 22. That is, in the present embodiment, the concave portion 52 and the concave portion 56 of the elastic cylindrical member 20 constitute positioning means for positioning and holding the elastic cylindrical member 20 with respect to the covered electric wire 22.

  Next, the crimp terminal 12 to which the elastic cylindrical member 20 is mounted in this way is inserted from the opening 18 of the cavity 14 of the housing 16. By inserting, the pair of hook-shaped contact portions 36, 36 of the distal end portion 32 of the crimp terminal 12 abuts on the resin lance 42. When further inserted, the pair of contact portions 36, 36 are deformed into a square cylindrical shape by the downward force exerted by the resin lance 42, and finally the pair of contact portions 36, 36 are engaged with the locking projections 44 provided on the resin lance 42. The rear end of 36 is engaged, so that it is accommodated and held in the cavity 14 of the housing 16. In addition, another locking projections 58 and 60 are provided in front of the cavity 14. In this state, the rear end portion 62 of the elastic tubular member 20 extends outward from the opening 18 of the housing 16.

  According to the connector 10 of the present embodiment having the above-described structure, the elastic cylindrical member 20 extends across both sides of the boundary portion between the covered caulking portion 30 and the covered electric wire 22 in the extending direction of the covered electric wire 22. In addition, the rear end portion 62 of the elastic cylindrical member 20 extends outward from the opening 18 of the housing 16. Therefore, even when the connector 10 is vibrated by external vibration, the covered electric wire 22 comes into contact with the housing 16 via the elastic cylindrical member 20. Further, when the covered electric wire 22 is brought into contact with the corner portion of the opening 18 of the cavity 14 of the housing 16 due to vibration, it is also brought into contact with the elastic cylinder member 20. Therefore, the risk of disconnection of the covered electric wire 22 due to the contact can be reduced as much as possible by the buffering action of the elastic cylindrical member 20.

  In particular, the elastic cylindrical member 20 has a slit 46, and the elastic cylindrical member 20 is easily fitted around the cover crimping portion 30 of the crimp terminal 12 crimped to the coated electric wire 22 by opening the slit 46. Can be made. Therefore, it is not necessary to insert the elastic cylindrical member 20 into the covered electric wire 22 before the crimping step of the crimping terminal 12 to the covered electric wire 22, and the elastic cylindrical member 20 can be used as the crimp terminal 12 without complicating the manufacturing process. It is possible to externally fit.

  Moreover, since the elastic cylinder member 20 is extended over the both sides of the boundary part of the covering crimp part 30 and the covered electric wire 22, the reinforcement of the covered electric wire 22 in the boundary part is carried out. And since the elastic cylinder member 20 is formed with the synthetic rubber material, the force applied to a boundary part is disperse | distributed. Therefore, excessive bending and stress concentration at the boundary are prevented or alleviated, and the risk of disconnection associated therewith is also reduced.

  In addition, the elastic cylindrical member 20 and the covering in both directions in the extending direction of the covered electric wire 22 can be obtained by a simple structure in which the covering caulking portion 30 is accommodated in the recesses 52 and 56 formed in the inner surface 48 of the elastic cylindrical member 20. The elastic cylindrical member 20 can be positioned and held with respect to the covered electric wire 22 by engaging the caulking portion 30 with the concave and convex portions. Thereby, positioning of the elastic cylinder member 20 in the extending direction of the covered electric wire 22 can be reliably realized without requiring any additional parts or additional work. In addition, since the concavo-convex engagement structure can be formed between the elastic cylindrical member 20 and the covering caulking portion 30, the positioning means is configured without enlarging the elastic cylindrical member 20 due to outward projection or the like. be able to. Further, since the elastic cylindrical member 20 is formed of a synthetic rubber material, even when the connector 10 is vibrated by external vibration, the shape change of the concave portions 52 and 56 follows the vibration of the covering caulking portion 30. Is prevented or alleviated. Therefore, the elastic cylinder member 20 can be advantageously prevented from falling off from the covered electric wire 22.

  Next, a connector 66 as a second embodiment of the present invention will be exemplified. In the embodiment described below, members and parts having the same structure as in the first embodiment are shown in FIG. By attaching the same reference numerals as those of the one embodiment, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Such a connector 66 is different from the first embodiment in that a flange portion 70 protruding outward in the axial direction is formed at the rear end portion 62 of the elastic cylindrical member 20 in the first embodiment. Is shown.

  More specifically, at the end portion of the rear end portion 62 of the elastic cylindrical member 20 in the first embodiment that extends outward from the opening portion 18 of the housing 16, it protrudes outward in the axial direction. A flange 70 is formed in contact with the end surface 68 of the opening 18 of the housing 16. Thereby, the collar part 70 of the elastic cylinder member 72 contacts the end surface 68 of the opening part 18 of the housing 16, thereby advantageously preventing the displacement of the elastic cylinder member 72 inward of the housing 16. That is, in the present embodiment, positioning means for positioning and holding the elastic cylindrical member 72 with respect to the covered electric wire 22 is configured by the flange portion 70 in addition to the concave portion 52 and the concave portion 56 of the elastic cylindrical member 72.

By fixing the fixing piece 78 on the covered electric wire 22 with an adhesive tape such as a vinyl tape, the elastic cylindrical member 76 can be reliably positioned and held with respect to the covered electric wire 22. In other words, in the present embodiment, the fixing piece 78 of the elastic cylinder member 76 constitutes positioning means for positioning and holding the elastic cylinder member 76 with respect to the covered electric wire 22. Moreover, since the fixed piece 78 extends along the covered electric wire 22, it is advantageously prevented that the positioning means protrudes greatly outward in the radial direction of the covered electric wire 22. In the present embodiment, the fixing piece 78 of the elastic cylinder member 76 protrudes from one side surface of the rear end portion in the axial direction of the elastic cylinder member 76, but may protrude from the upper and lower surfaces, or from a plurality of surfaces. It may be protruding. In addition to the vinyl tape, any adhesive tape made of a known material such as cloth or paper can be used.

  Furthermore, another elastic cylindrical member 82 that can be employed in the connector of the present invention is illustrated in FIG. The elastic cylinder member 82 is different from the elastic cylinder member 20 of the first embodiment with respect to a fixing means for holding the elastic cylinder member 82 around the covering caulking portion 30 in an externally fitted state.

In addition, a pair of cylindrical engagement pins 88 and 88 and a pair of engagement holes 90 and 90 corresponding thereto are integrally provided. Thereby, opening and closing of the elastic cylinder member 82 when the crimp terminal 12 (not shown) is mounted can be easily and reliably performed. In other words, in the present embodiment, the engaging pin 88 and the engaging hole 90 constitute a fixing means for holding the elastic cylindrical member 82 around the covering caulking portion 30 in an externally fitted state. In the present embodiment, the fixing means for the elastic cylindrical member 82 has been described with the engaging pin 88 and the engaging hole 90. However, the specific shape is not particularly limited as long as it can be fixed. Similarly, the number and shape of the engagement pins 88 and the engagement holes 90 are not limited.

  In addition, FIG. 6 illustrates still another elastic cylindrical member 94 that can be employed in the connector of the present invention. The elastic cylinder member 94 is different from the elastic cylinder member 82 with respect to a fixing means for holding the elastic cylinder member 94 in an outer fitting state around the covering caulking portion 30.

  More specifically, the slit 96 is formed at the end of the lower surface of the elastic cylindrical member 94, while the engagement pin 98 is integrally projected on one surface of the slit 96. The engaging pin 98 has a prismatic shape and is formed to extend inward of the elastic cylindrical member 94, and has a dome-shaped protrusion 100 protruding upward at the tip thereof. On the other hand, an engagement hole 102 corresponding to the engagement pin 98 is newly provided on the other surface of the slit 96. Also in this case, similarly to the elastic cylinder member 82 shown in FIG. 5, the elastic cylinder member 94 can be opened and closed easily and reliably when the crimp terminal 12 is mounted. That is, in the elastic cylinder member 94, the engaging pin 98 and the engagement hole 102 constitute fixing means for holding the elastic cylinder member 94 in an externally fitted state around the covering caulking portion 30. The number of the engagement pins 98 and the engagement holes 102 may be plural, and the specific shape is not particularly limited as long as it can be fixed.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention has been described, this invention is not limited at all by the specific description in this embodiment. For example, in the present embodiment, the positioning means has been described with the concave-convex engagement structure provided between the elastic cylindrical member 20 and the covered caulking portion 30 or the covered electric wire 22, but the elastic cylindrical member such as fixing with an adhesive is used. Any structure can be adopted as long as 20 can be positioned and held at an intended position on the covered electric wire 22.

  Further, in this embodiment, the case where the slit 46 is provided in the elastic cylinder member 20 is described. However, the elastic cylinder member 20 is configured by a pair of halves by forming the slits in two places. A pair of halves may be assembled to each other from both sides with the covering caulking portion 30 interposed therebetween.
