Description

The present invention relates to a connector tool used to grip wiring with the gripping portion of a connector.

For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a tool for attaching and detaching connectors. Then, multiple connector pins are attached by crimping the connector pins onto the ends of the wiring. Furthermore, by combining a male connector and a female connector, the connector pins come into contact and connect the wiring.

In recent years, connectors that do not require separate connector pins have been used, as disclosed in Patent Document 2. Connectors that do not use separate connector pins in this way have a gripping portion that grips the wiring, and conventional pins are arranged near the gripping portion, and the gripping portion grips the wiring to connect it to the pin. The gripping portion also has a biasing force that grips the wiring. The connector also has a button that the operator operates from the side of the connector to open the gripping portion.

JP 2015-191726 A Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 09-063860

The gripping portion has a biasing force that opens when the button is pressed and closes when the button is not pressed. In other words, when the gripping portion grips a wire, the worker holds the connector and presses the button, opening the gap between the gripping portion and the pin, allowing the wire to enter the gap, and when the button is released, the biasing force returns to close the gap, gripping the wire in a state of contact with the pin. Also, when the wire gripped by the gripping portion is to be separated from the gripping portion, the worker holds the connector and presses the button, opening the gap between the pin and gripping portion against the biasing force of the gripping portion, separating the wire.

In other words, the worker must hold the connector, hold the wiring, press a button, and insert the wiring between the gripper and the pin or move the wiring away from that gap. To carry out the above series of tasks, the worker must perform multiple tasks, including switching between holding the connector with the hand that holds the wiring and pressing the button with the hand that holds the connector, and this requires some getting used to.

Therefore, there is a need to make it easier to grip the wiring with the connector's gripping portion.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is a connector tool that has a gripping portion having a biasing force to grip a wiring, and a button that opens the gripping portion against the biasing force of the gripping portion, and that causes the gripping portion of a connector to grip a wiring, the connector tool having a placement portion for placing the connector, a pressing portion for pressing the button of the connector placed in the placement portion, and a lifting mechanism for raising and lowering the pressing portion directly above the button , the placement portion having a female connector placement portion for placing a female connector, and a male connector placement portion for placing a male connector, the pressing portion having a female pressing portion that presses the button of the female connector placed in the female connector placement portion, and a male pressing portion that presses the button of the male connector placed in the male connector placement portion, and the lifting mechanism having a guide portion that guides the pressing portion in the lifting and lowering direction, and a biasing member that presses the pressing portion in the direction of lifting.

The connector tool of the present invention has a gripping portion having a biasing force for gripping a wiring, and a button for opening the gripping portion against the biasing force of the gripping portion, and the gripping portion of a connector opens when the gripping portion is pressed to grip a wiring. The connector tool of the present invention has a placement portion for placing the connector, a push portion for pressing the button on the connector placed on the placement portion, and a lifting mechanism for raising and lowering the push portion directly above the button. The lifting mechanism has a guide portion for guiding the push portion in the lifting and lowering direction, and a biasing member, such as a spring, for biasing the push portion in the direction to lift it.When a worker presses the button on the connector with the push portion of the connector tool held in one hand, the gripping portion inside the connector opens, and after the tip of the wiring held in the other hand is inserted into the gripping portion, when the force pressing on the push portion is reduced, the push portion separates from the button due to the biasing force (reaction force) stored in the spring, and the biasing force of the gripping portion causes the gripping portion to grip the wiring, completing the arrangement of the wiring, making the work easier. Furthermore, by making the pressing part smaller by configuring it so that it moves in a direction perpendicular to the button, it becomes possible to perform wiring connection work in a narrow working space.
The placement section includes a female connector placement section for placing the female connector and a male connector placement section for placing the male connector, and the pushing section includes a female pushing section for pressing a button on the female connector placed in the female connector placement section, and a male pushing section for pressing a button on the male connector placed in the male connector placement section, so that a worker can easily complete the connection of wiring to the male connector and female connector using a single connector tool, and then combine the male connector and female connector.

FIG. 13 is a perspective view showing an example of a tool that can accommodate changes in the size of a male connector by widening the gap between the inner surface of the support wall and the groove side surface of the base. FIG.

The connector tool 1 shown in FIG. 1 allows the core wire 90 of the wiring 9 to be gripped by the gripping portion 25 of the male connector 2, which can be opened and closed by a button 21, and also allows the core wire 90 of the wiring 9 to be gripped by the gripping portion 36 of the female connector 3, which can be opened and closed by a button 32.

The connector tool 1 shown in FIG. 1 is made of, for example, plastic and includes a placement section 7 with a roughly rectangular parallelepiped base 70, a pressing section 8 arranged on the placement section 7 and with a plate-shaped base 80 whose longitudinal direction is the same as the longitudinal direction of the placement section 7 (the Y-axis direction in FIG. 1), and a lifting mechanism 6 that raises and lowers the pressing section 8, for example, directly above the button 21 of the male connector 2.

In this embodiment, the arrangement section 7 shown in FIG. 1 in which the connectors are arranged includes a female connector arrangement section 71 in which the female connector 3 is arranged, and a male connector arrangement section 73 in which the male connector 2 is arranged. In addition, the pressing section 8 for pressing the buttons of the connectors arranged in the arrangement section 7 includes a female pressing section 84 for pressing the button 32 of the female connector 3 arranged in the female connector arrangement section 71, and a male pressing section 86 for pressing the button 21 of the male connector 2 arranged in the male connector arrangement section 73.

For example, the block-shaped male connector placement section 73 shown in Figures 1 and 2 is integrally connected to the side surface on the -Y direction side of the base 70 of the placement section 7, and the male connector mounting surface 730 is formed on its upper surface by cutting out a rectangular groove toward the short side direction (X-axis direction) of the base 70. A support wall 732 is erected on the upper surface of the male connector placement section 73, and the male connector 2 can be loosely fitted into the space surrounded by, for example, the male connector mounting surface 730, the inner surface of the support wall 732, and the groove side surface 701 of the base 70, and the position in the X-axis direction on the male connector mounting surface 730 can be changed.

For example, the block-shaped female connector arrangement section 71 shown in Figures 1 and 3 is integrally connected to the side surface on the +Y direction side of the base 70 of the arrangement section 7, and the female connector 3 can be placed on the upper surface of the female connector arrangement section 71, and its position in the X-axis direction on the female connector arrangement section 71 can be changed. A restricting plate 714 (only shown in Figure 1) is erected on the upper surface of the female connector arrangement section 71 and is inserted into the entrance 39 of the female connector 3 to prevent the female connector 3 from falling out of the female connector arrangement section 71.

The male pressing portion 86 shown in FIG. 1 is disposed, for example, on one end side surface on the -Y direction side of the base 80, and is formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. The shape of the male pressing portion 86 may be substantially L-shaped in side view. The button 21 of the male connector 2 disposed in the male connector arrangement portion 73 is positioned directly below the lower end of the male pressing portion 86. Note that, although there is one male pressing portion 86 in this embodiment, two may be disposed side by side in the X-axis direction. Also, the male pressing portion 86 may be capable of pressing two buttons 21 of the male connector 2 simultaneously.

The female pressing portion 84 shown in FIG. 1 is disposed on the other end side surface on the +Y direction side of the base 80, and has a shape of, for example, two plates arranged vertically. The shape of the female pressing portion 84 may be a roughly L-shape in side view. The button 32 of the female connector 3 arranged in the female connector arrangement portion 71 is positioned directly below the lower end of the female pressing portion 84. The female pressing portion 84 may be capable of pressing two buttons 32 of the female connector 3 simultaneously.

The lifting mechanism 6 shown in Figures 1 and 2 includes a guide section 63 that guides the male pressing section 86 and the female pressing section 84 in the lifting direction, and a biasing member, such as a spring 66, that biases the male pressing section 86 (female pressing section 84) in a direction to lift it, i.e., in a direction away from the placement section 7. The lifting mechanism 6 may include a rubber column as a biasing member instead of the spring 66.

The guide section 63 shown in Figures 1 and 2 includes, for example, a lifting column storage chamber 630 formed by cutting the base 70 of the placement section 7 from the top surface toward the inside into a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, a lifting column 631 of a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape inserted into the lifting column storage chamber 630, two long holes 633 formed through both side surfaces of the base 70 of the placement section 7 (both side surfaces in the X-axis direction in Figures 1 and 2) and extending in the lifting direction, and a lifting bolt 635 inserted into the two long holes 633 and extending in the X-axis direction.

For example, a through hole (not shown) through which the lifting bolt 635 passes is formed in the lower part of the lifting column 631, and the lifting bolt 635 passes through the through hole and is connected to the lifting column 631 by a fixing nut 636 (shown only in FIG. 3). The lifting bolt 635 and the fixing nut 636 move up and down within the elongated hole 633, so that the lifting column 631 inserted in the lifting column storage chamber 630 is supported so that it can be raised and lowered. The lower surface of the base 80 of the pushing section 8 is integrally connected to the upper end surface of the lifting column 631.

The lower end of the spring 66 (coil spring) is connected to the bottom surface of the lifting column storage chamber 630. The upper end of the spring 66 is connected to the lower end of the lifting column 631. In other words, the spring 66 is stored between the bottom surface of the lifting column storage chamber 630 and the lower surface of the lifting column 631 stored in the lifting column storage chamber 630. The upper end of the spring 66 may be fixed to the lower end of the lifting column 631 by a lifting bolt 635 and a fixing nut 636. The upper end of the long hole 633 serves as a stopper for the lifting bolt 635 and the fixing nut 636, and the spring 66 is slightly compressed and stored in the lifting column storage chamber 630, causing the lifting column 631 to wait at the top position. The spring 66 may be at its natural length when not being pressed from above.

1 and 2 includes, for example, a substantially rectangular parallelepiped housing 20. At one end of the housing 20, for example, two columnar buttons 21 are arranged side by side so that a portion of the buttons is exposed from inside the housing 20, and two wire inlets 23 for inserting the wires 9 are provided.
As shown in FIG. 1 , the end 213 of the button 21 is capable of coming into contact with a biasing member 256 , such as a leaf spring, disposed inside the housing 20 .

The gripping portions 25, which are arranged inside the male connector 2 shown in Figure 1 in, for example, two pieces (only one is shown in Figure 1) and can be opened and closed by a button 21, are configured as a pair of a biasing member 256 and a male pin 259 and have a biasing force for gripping the core wire 90 of the wiring 9.
The male pin 259 is disposed in the housing 20 so as to face the biasing member 256. When the female connector 3 and the male connector 2 shown in FIG. 1 are joined together, the tip 258 of the male pin 259 comes into contact with the tip 367 of the female pin 369 of the female connector 3.

The biasing member 256 shown in FIG. 1 has a deformation portion 254 that is formed, for example, in a generally arcuate shape when viewed from the side and that contacts the male pin 259. When the deformation portion 254 is in its natural length and not pressed by the button 21, the deformation portion 254 is in contact with the side of the male pin 259. When the deformation portion 254 is pressed and deformed by the button 21, a gap is formed between the male pin 259 and the deformation portion 254 that allows the core wire 90 of the wiring 9 to enter, and the gripping portion 25 opens and becomes capable of gripping the core wire 90 of the wiring 9.

For example, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, a mounting plate 27 is integrally formed on one end side of the housing 20 of the male connector 2, and with the wiring 9 (see Figure 4) held by the gripping portion 25 shown in Figure 1 aligned along the mounting plate 27, the male connector 2 and the female connector 3 combined with the male connector 2 can be attached to a specified electronic device, etc., using bolt holes (not shown) and fixing bolts formed in the mounting plate 27.

For example, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the outer surface of the housing 20 of the male connector 2 is formed with a hooking protrusion 206 that is hooked onto the lever 38 of the female connector 3 to fix the male connector 2 so that it does not come off the female connector 3 when the male connector 2 is combined with the female connector 3 shown in Figure 3, i.e., when the entire male connector 2 is inserted into the entrance 39 of the female connector 3.

The female connector 3 shown in Figures 1 and 3 includes, for example, a substantially rectangular parallelepiped housing 30. As shown in Figures 1 and 3, one end of the housing 30 has, for example, two columnar buttons 32 arranged side by side and partially exposed from inside the housing 30, and has two wire inlets 34 for inserting wires 9. Also, as shown in Figure 1, the other end of the housing 30 has an inlet 39 through which the entire male connector 2 enters when combined.
An end of the button 32 shown in FIG. 1 is capable of coming into contact with a biasing member 368 such as a leaf spring disposed inside the housing 30 .

The gripping portions 36, for example two in number (only one is shown in FIG. 1 ) arranged inside the female connector 3 shown in FIG. 1 and capable of being opened and closed by corresponding buttons 32, are configured as a pair of the above-mentioned biasing member 368 and female pin 369 and have a biasing force for gripping the core wire 90 of the wiring 9.
Furthermore, within the housing 30, the female pin 369 is arranged opposite the biasing member 368, and when the female connector 3 and the male connector 2 are combined, the tip portion 367 of the female pin 369 comes into contact with the tip portion 258 of the male pin 259 of the male connector 2.

The biasing member 368 shown in FIG. 1 has a deformation portion 366 that is bent, for example, into a generally arc shape in side view and contacts the female pin 369, and when the deformation portion 366 is in its natural length and not pressed by the button 32, the deformation portion 366 is in contact with the side of the female pin 369. When the deformation portion 366 is pressed and deformed by the button 32, a gap is formed between the female pin 369 and the deformation portion 366 through which the core wire 90 of the wiring 9 (see FIG. 4) can enter, and the gripping portion 36 opens and becomes capable of gripping the core wire 90 of the wiring 9.

For example, the outer surface of the housing 30 of the female connector 3 shown in Figures 1 and 3 is provided with a hook portion 381 of the lever 38 on which the hook protrusion 206 of the male connector 2 hooks when the female connector 3 is mated with the male connector 2.

The following describes a case in which the connector tool 1 shown in FIG. 1 is used to grip the core wire 90 (see FIG. 4) of the wiring 9 with the gripping portion 25 of the male connector 2 shown in FIG. 1, and the core wire 90 of the wiring 9 is gripped with the gripping portion 36 of the female connector 3 shown in FIG. 1, and then the female connector 3 and the male connector 2 are joined together.

For example, a strip gauge (not shown) is formed on the outer surface of the male connector 2 and the female connector 3, and the core wire 90 of the wiring 9 shown in FIG. 4 can be accurately exposed to a specified length from the coating 92 using the strip gauge.

For example, the worker first places the female connector 3 on the female connector placement section 71 as shown in FIG. 3, and the restricting plate 714 shown in FIG. 1 enters the entrance 39 of the female connector 3. One of the buttons 32 of the female connector 3 is positioned directly below the female pressing section 84. Next, the worker holds the connector tool 1 with one hand and holds the wiring 9 shown in FIG. 4 with the other hand. Then, the core wire 90 of the wiring 9 held by the worker with the other hand is positioned over the wiring entrance 34 of the female connector 3 as shown in FIG. 4.

Next, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, when the operator presses the base 80 of the connector tool 1 held in one hand downward, the spring 66 connected to the lifting column 631 of the lifting mechanism 6 is compressed, and the spring 66, which is an example of a biasing member, stores a biasing force that returns to its natural length. At the same time that both ends of the lifting bolt 635 of the guide portion 63 descend along the elongated hole 633 and the lifting column 631 enters the lifting column storage chamber 630, the button 32 of the female connector 3 is pressed by the female pressing portion 84, which moves linearly in the -Z direction, and the deformation portion 366 of the biasing member 368 constituting the grip portion 36 is pressed and deformed by the button 32. As a result, a gap is created between the deformation portion 366 and the side of the female pin 369, allowing the core wire 90 to enter. In this way, the guide portion 63 allows the female pressing portion 84 to move linearly (descend) in the -Z direction without shaking in the horizontal direction.

In this state, the worker inserts the wire 9 held by the other hand into the female connector 3 from the wire inlet 34, and positions the core wire 90 in the gap between the deformation portion 366 and the female pin 369 as shown in FIG. 6. After this state is reached, the worker releases the downward pressure on the base 80, and the spring 66 expands to return to its natural length due to the biasing force, raising the female pressing portion 84 as shown in FIG. 7. This causes the female pressing portion 84 to move away from the button 32, and as shown in FIG. 7, the deformation of the deformation portion 366 is released by the biasing force that had been stored when the button 32 moves away, and the core wire 90 is gripped by the returned deformation portion 366 and the female pin 369. That is, the gripping portion 36 closes, and the core wire 90 of the wire 9 is gripped by the gripping portion 36 of the female connector 3.

After this, for example, the worker may shift the position of the female connector 3 on the female connector placement section 71 so that the other button 32 of the female connector 3 is positioned directly below the female pressing section 84, and another wire 9 may be connected to the female connector 3 by going through the same process as described above.

Then, the male connector 2 is placed by the operator on the male connector placement surface 730 of the male connector placement section 73 as shown in FIG. 2. In addition, one button 21 of the male connector 2 is positioned directly below the male pressing section 86. After this, the connection of the wiring 9 to the male connector 2 using the connector tool 1, i.e., the gripping of the core wire 90 of the wiring 9 by the gripping section 25, is performed in substantially the same manner as the connection of the wiring 9 to the female connector 3, so a description thereof will be omitted.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8, the male connector 2, which has the wiring 9 held by the gripping portion 25, is joined to the female connector 3, which has the wiring 9 held by the gripping portion 36. That is, the tip 258 of the male pin 259 of the male connector 2 shown in FIG. 2 is opposed to the entrance 39 of the female connector 3. Then, the male connector 2 is inserted into the entrance 39 of the female connector 3, and the hooking protrusion 206 of the male connector 2 is caught by the lever 38 of the female connector 3, and the male connector 2 and female connector 3 are joined as shown in FIG. 9. Also, the tip 367 of the female pin 369 of the female connector 3 (see FIG. 1) is in contact with the tip 258 of the male pin 259 (see FIG. 1).

For example, when releasing the combination of the male connector 2 and female connector 3 shown in FIG. 9, when the operating portion 382, which is the free end side of the lever 38, is pushed toward the outer surface of the housing 30, the hook portion 381 of the lever 38 is moved in a direction away from the outer surface of the housing 30, using the fulcrum 380 as a fulcrum, and the hook portion 381 is released from the hook protrusion 206 of the female connector 3, making it possible to remove the male connector 2 from the female connector 3.

As described above, the connector tool 1 according to the present invention has a gripping portion 36 having a biasing force for gripping the core wire 90 of the wiring 9, and a button 32 for opening the gripping portion 36 against the biasing force of the gripping portion 36. The gripping portion 36 opens when the button 32 is pressed. For example, the connector tool 1 of the present invention has a female connector arrangement portion 71 for arranging the female connector 3, a female pressing portion 84 for pressing the button 32 of the female connector 3 arranged in the female connector arrangement portion 71, and a lifting mechanism 6 for raising and lowering the female pressing portion 84 directly above the button 32. The lifting mechanism 6 guides the female pressing portion 84 in the lifting direction. By providing the guide portion 63 and a biasing member, such as a spring 66, which biases the female pressing portion 84 in a direction to raise it, the operator presses the button 32 of the female connector 3 with the female pressing portion 84 of the connector tool 1 held in one hand, opening the gripping portion 36 in the female connector 3. After the operator has inserted the core wire 90, which is the tip of the wiring 9 held in the other hand, into the gripping portion 36, the force pressing the female pressing portion 84 is reduced, and the female pressing portion 84 is separated from the button 32 by the reaction force of the spring 66, and the gripping portion 36 grasps the wiring 9 by the biasing force of the gripping portion 36, completing the arrangement of the wiring 9, making the work easier. In addition, by miniaturizing the connector tool 1 by configuring it so that the female pressing portion 84 moves vertically relative to the button 32, the work of connecting the wiring 9 can be performed in a place with a small working space.

In the connector tool 1 according to the present invention, the arrangement section includes a female connector arrangement section 71 for arranging the female connector 3 and a male connector arrangement section 73 for arranging the male connector 2, and the pressing section includes a female pressing section 84 for pressing the button 32 of the female connector 3 arranged in the female connector arrangement section 71 and a male pressing section 86 for pressing the button 21 of the male connector 2 arranged in the male connector arrangement section 73. This allows the worker to easily complete the connection of the wiring 9 to the male connector 2 and female connector 3 using a single connector tool 1, and then combine the male connector 2 and female connector 3.

The connector tool 1 according to the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and may be implemented in various different forms within the scope of its technical concept. Furthermore, the process of connecting the wiring 9 to the male connector 2 and female connector 3, and the configurations of the male connector 2 and female connector 3 are not limited to the above embodiment, and may be modified as appropriate within the scope of the effects of the present invention.

10 and 11 , the support wall 732 of the male connector arrangement portion 73 may be movable toward or away from the groove side surface 701 of the base 70. That is, the male connector arrangement portion 73 is not formed integrally with the base 70, and is capable of being separated from the base 70. In other words, the male connector mounting surface 730 is expandable and contractible in the Y-axis direction, and the support wall 732 is biased in a direction to approach the groove side surface 701.
The male connector placement portion 73 is configured to grip the male connector 2 placed on the male connector placement surface 730 between the groove side surface 701 and the support wall 732 .
10, a coil spring 734 capable of biasing the support wall 732 in a direction to approach the base 70 is disposed inside the male connector arrangement portion 73. For example, the male connector arrangement portion 73 has a cylindrical internal space 736 cut out from the outer surface toward the inside to allow the coil spring 734 to expand and contract in the Y-axis direction.

A fixing pin 737 that is roughly T-shaped in side view is disposed within the internal space 736. The fixing pin 737 has a head portion 7371 and a spring insertion portion 7374 that extends from the head portion 7371 toward the base 70 and has a smaller diameter than the head portion 7371. The tip of the spring insertion portion 7374 passes through a through hole 738 formed in the male connector arrangement portion 73 and is connected to the outer surface of the base 70.

The diameter of the head portion 7371 is larger than that of the coil spring 734, and the spring insertion portion 7374 is inserted into the center of the coil spring 734. One end of the coil spring 734 is connected to the inner surface of the head portion 7371, and the other end of the coil spring 734 is connected to the male connector arrangement portion 73 in the internal space 736.

When the male connector 2 is arranged in the male connector arrangement portion 73 as shown in FIG. 11 from a state in which the connector tool 1 is not used (the state shown in FIG. 10), the support wall 732 and the base 70 are held by hand and the support wall 732 is pulled in the −Y direction to separate it from the base 70, and the gap between the inner surface of the support wall 732 and the groove side surface 701 of the base 70 is widened, and the coil spring 734 is contracted in the male connector arrangement portion 73 to store the urging force. Then, after the male connector 2 is arranged in the male connector arrangement portion 73 as shown in FIG. 11, the male connector 2 may be held so as to be sandwiched from both sides in the Y-axis direction by the inner surface of the support wall 732 and the groove side surface 701 of the base 70, which are trying to return to their fixed position due to the urging force of the coil spring 734. The connector tool 1 shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11 is capable of appropriately handling male connectors 2 of different sizes.
The above structure may be provided on the female connector placement portion 71 side, which will be described later.
