Description

Connector including moving member and holder {CONNECTOR COMPRISING MOVING UNIT AND HOLDER}

The present invention relates to a connector including a movable member and a holder. More specifically, the present invention relates to a connector in which the movable member and the holder are more easily coupled, thereby improving stability.

In general, there are many electrical components including various sensors in the engine room of a car. Most of the sensors in the engine room are attached to the engine or transmission, so various types of band cables, connectors, etc. are used to fix or connect the wires until they reach each location.

These connectors include a male housing having a male terminal and a female housing having a female terminal connected to the male terminal. A Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) connector may be used to join the male housing and the female housing. When the male housing and the female housing are joined in the TPA connector, bending defects of the male terminal or the female terminal frequently occur due to external factors.

The technical problem that the present invention seeks to solve is to provide a connector with a reduced defect rate.

The technical problems of the present invention are not limited to the technical problems mentioned above, and other technical problems not mentioned will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the description below.

According to some embodiments for achieving the above technical problem, a connector comprises a male housing having a male terminal extending in a first direction, a female housing coupleable with the male housing, connected to the male terminal, and having a female terminal extending in the first direction, a movable member disposed within the male housing, and a holder disposed within the female housing and coupleable with the movable member, wherein the movable member comprises a body portion, a protrusion portion protruding from the body portion in the first direction, and a lock portion protruding from a side wall of the protrusion portion in a second direction intersecting the first direction, and the holder comprises a body portion, a fixing portion protruding from an inner side wall of the body portion in the second direction, and a receiving portion into which the protrusion portion is inserted according to movement of the movable member, wherein when the movable member and the holder are coupled, the lock portion and the fixing portion are coupled to each other.

In some embodiments, the fatigue member is elastic and the fatigue member is engaged with the lock member by a chamfer of the mail housing.

In some embodiments, the lock portion includes a first portion protruding from a first sidewall of the protrusion portion and a second portion protruding from a second sidewall of the protrusion portion, wherein the first sidewall and the second sidewall face each other.

In some embodiments, the movable member includes guide protrusions respectively disposed on the upper and lower portions of the body portion.

In some embodiments, the guide protrusion protrudes in a third direction intersecting the first and second directions.

In some embodiments, the holder includes guide slopes disposed on the upper and lower portions of the body, and the guide protrusion is insertable along the guide slopes.

In some embodiments, the lock portion and the fatigue portion are first joined, and then the guide projection is inserted along the guide slope.

In some embodiments, after the guide projection is disengaged along the guide slope, the connection between the lock portion and the fatigue portion is disengaged.

In some embodiments, the guide protrusion is elastic.

In some embodiments, the movable member includes a stopper that prevents dislodgement of the movable member within the mail housing.

In some embodiments, the stopper comprises first and second stoppers disposed on opposite inner walls of the body portion of the movable member, the first and second stoppers being diagonally spaced from each other.

Specific details of other embodiments are included in the detailed description and drawings.

According to some embodiments of the technical idea of the present invention, at least the following effects are achieved.

A connector according to some embodiments may include a movable member and a holder. The movable member and the holder may be coupled. The movable member and the holder may be coupled primarily by a locking engagement between a locking portion of the movable member and a fatigue portion of the holder. Secondarily, a guide projection of the movable member may be inserted into a guide slope of the holder to be fixed to each other.

Due to the above-mentioned coupling method, the coupling between the movable member and the holder is more stable, and thus the bending phenomenon between the male terminal and the female terminal can be reduced.

Hereinafter, connectors according to exemplary embodiments will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7.

FIG. 1 is an exemplary perspective view illustrating a connector according to some embodiments.

First, referring to FIG. 1, a connector according to some embodiments includes a male housing (110) and a female housing (210). The male housing (110) and the female housing (210) may be mated to each other.

The male housing (110) may have a male terminal (120). The male terminal (120) may be extended in a first direction (X). In the present specification, the first direction (X), the second direction (Y), and the third direction (Z) may intersect each other. The first direction (X), the second direction (Y), and the third direction (Z) may be substantially perpendicular to each other. Although not illustrated, the male housing (110) may include a male terminal receiving portion that is open on one side. The male terminal (120) may be inserted into the male terminal receiving portion. The male terminal receiving portions may be arranged in multiple numbers at regular intervals. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 1, six male terminals (120) may be provided, and accordingly, six male terminal receiving portions may also be provided. The male terminal (120) may have a pointed end formed to facilitate insertion into the female terminal (220), but is not limited thereto. A mail terminal support member may be additionally formed inside the mail housing (110) to prevent the mail terminal (120) from coming off.

The female housing (210) may have a female terminal (220). The female terminal (220) may be extended in a first direction (X). The female terminal (220) may be connected to the male terminal (120). Although not shown, the female housing (210) may include a female terminal receiving portion that is open on one side. The female terminal (220) may be inserted into the female terminal receiving portion. The female terminal receiving portions may be arranged in multiple numbers at regular intervals.

In some embodiments, the number of female terminals (220) may be the same as the number of male terminals (120). For example, since six male terminals (120) are provided as shown in FIG. 1, six female terminals (220) may be provided correspondingly. Accordingly, six female terminal receiving portions may also be provided. A female terminal support portion may be additionally formed inside the female housing (210) to prevent the female terminal (220) from being detached.

Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view of a connector according to some embodiments.

Referring to FIG. 2, a connector according to some embodiments may further include a movable member (150) and a holder (250).

The movable member (150) can be placed inside the male housing (110). The movable member (150) can surround the male terminal (120) inside the male housing (110). The movable member (150) can protect the male terminal (120). The movable member (150) can be moved in a first direction (X) inside the male housing (110). The movable member (150) can be slidably inserted in the first direction (X) or the -first direction (-X) inside the male housing (110).

The holder (250) may be placed within the female housing (210). The holder (250) may surround the female terminal (220) within the female housing (210). The holder (250) may protect the female terminal (220). The holder (250) may be coupled with the moving member (150). A method of coupling the holder (250) and the moving member (150) will be described later.

FIGS. 3A and 3B are exemplary perspective views for explaining the movable member of FIG. 2. FIG. 4 is an exemplary perspective view for explaining the holder of FIG. 2.

First, referring to FIGS. 3a and 3b, the moving member (150) may include a body portion (151), a protrusion portion (152), a lock portion (153), a guide protrusion (154), and a stopper (155).

The body part (151) may have a rectangular shape. The body part (151) may be a central part in which a protrusion (152), a lock part (153), a guide projection (154), and a stopper (155) are formed. The body part (151) may be placed inside the mail housing (110 of FIG. 1). The body part (151) may move in a first direction (X) or a -first direction (-X) within the mail housing (110).

The protrusion (152) can protrude from the body (151) in the first direction (X). The protrusion (152) can be inserted into the receiving portion (252) of the holder (250) to be described later. Since the protrusion (152) has a structure in which it is inserted into the receiving portion (252), the moving member (150) and the holder (250) can be more stably coupled. As a result, the bending phenomenon between the male terminal (120) and the female terminal (220) can be reduced.

The lock portion (153) may be formed on the side wall of the protrusion portion (152). The lock portion (153) may protrude from the side wall of the protrusion portion (152) in the second direction (Y) or the -second direction (-Y). For example, the lock portion (153) may include a first lock portion (153a) and a second lock portion (153b). The first lock portion (153a) may be formed on the first side wall (152SW1) of the protrusion portion (152). The first lock portion (153a) may protrude from the first side wall (152SW1) in the -second direction (-Y). The second lock portion (153b) may be formed on the second side wall (152SW2) of the protrusion portion (152). The second lock portion (153b) may protrude in the second direction (Y) from the second side wall (152SW2). The second side wall (152SW2) may face the first side wall (152SW1).

That is, the protrusion (152) can extend in the first direction (X), and the lock portion (153) can protrude in the second direction (Y). The extension direction of the protrusion (152) and the protrusion direction of the lock portion (153) can be perpendicular.

In some embodiments, the lock portion (153) may be lock-engaged with the fatigue portion (253) of the holder (250) to be described later. The lock portion (153) and the fatigue portion (253) may be lock-engaged to couple the moving member (150) and the holder (250).

The guide protrusion (154) may be formed on the upper and lower portions of the body portion (151). The guide protrusion (154) may protrude from the upper and lower portions of the body portion (151) in a third direction (Z) or a -third direction (-Z). The guide protrusion (154) may have an inclined surface. For example, the thickness of the guide protrusion (154) in the third direction (Z) may gradually increase as it moves away from the protrusion (152). The thickness of the guide protrusion (154) in the third direction (Z) may gradually decrease as it moves toward the first direction (X). The thickness of the guide protrusion (154) in the third direction (Z) may gradually increase as it moves toward the -first direction (-X). In some embodiments, the guide protrusion (154) may be insertable along the guide inclined surface (254) of the holder (250).

The protrusion (152) may protrude in a first direction (X), the lock portion (153) may protrude in a second direction (Y), and the guide protrusion (154) may protrude in a third direction (Z). The protrusion direction of the protrusion (152), the protrusion direction of the lock portion (153), and the protrusion direction of the guide protrusion (154) may be perpendicular to each other.

The movable member (150) according to some embodiments can be more stably combined with the holder (250) by having a locking portion (153) and a guide projection (154). Accordingly, the bending phenomenon between the male terminal (120 in FIG. 1) in the movable member (150) and the female terminal (220 in FIG. 1) of the holder (250) can be reduced.

The stopper (155) may be arranged on the inner wall of the body portion (151). The stopper (155) may include a first stopper (155a) and a second stopper (155b). The first stopper (155a) and the second stopper (155b) may be spaced apart from each other in a diagonal direction. For example, if the first stopper (155a) is arranged at the upper left end of the body portion (151), the second stopper (155b) may be arranged at the lower right end of the body portion (151). Conversely, if the first stopper (155a) is arranged at the upper right end of the body portion (151), the second stopper (155b) may be arranged at the lower left end of the body portion (151).

In some embodiments, the first stopper (155a) may protrude in the second direction (Y). The second stopper (155b) may protrude in the -second direction (-Y). However, the technical idea of the present invention is not limited thereto.

In some embodiments, the stopper (155) can secure the mail housing (110) and the movable member (150). The stopper (155) can prevent the movable member (150) from coming out of the mail housing (110). The stopper (155) can be secured to a catch jaw (115 of FIG. 7) of the mail housing (110) to be described later. When the movable member (150) moves, the stopper (155) can be secured to the catch jaw (115 of FIG. 7) to prevent the movable member (150) from coming out.

Referring to FIG. 4, the holder (250) may include a body portion (251), a receiving portion (252), a fatigue portion (253), and a guide slope (254).

The body part (251) may have a square shape. The body part (251) may be a central part in which a receiving part (252), a fatigue part (253), and a guide slope (254) are formed. The body part (251) may be placed inside a female housing (210 in FIG. 1).

The receiving portion (252) may be formed in the middle portion of the body portion (251). The receiving portion (252) may be a space into which the protrusion (152) of the moving member (150) is inserted. The protrusion (152) may be inserted into the receiving portion (252) according to the movement of the moving member (150) in the first direction (X). The protrusion (152) may be inserted into and fixed in the receiving portion (252). The protrusion (152) may be inserted into the receiving portion (252) so that the moving member (150) and the holder (250) may be coupled.

The fatigue member (253) may be formed on the inner wall of the body part (251). The fatigue member (253) may be formed on the inner wall of the receiving part (252). The fatigue member (253) may protrude from the inner wall of the body part (251) in a second direction (Y) or a -second direction (-Y). For example, the fatigue member (253) may include a first fatigue member (253a) and a second fatigue member (253b). The first fatigue member (253a) may be formed on one side wall of the body part (251). The second fatigue member (253b) may be formed on the other side wall of the body part (251). The first fatigue member (253a) may protrude from one side wall of the body part (251) in the second direction (Y). The second fatigue member (253b) can protrude in the -second direction (-Y) from the other side wall of the body member (251).

In some embodiments, the first fatigue member (253a) can be lock-coupled with the first lock member (153a). The second fatigue member (253b) can be lock-coupled with the second lock member (153b). The first lock member (153a) protrudes in the -second direction (-Y) and the first fatigue member (253a) protrudes in the second direction (Y), so that the lock-coupled members can be mutually engaged. Similarly, the second lock member (153b) protrudes in the second direction (Y) and the second fatigue member (253b) protrudes in the -second direction (-Y), so that the lock-coupled members can be mutually engaged.

Since the lock portion (153) and the fatigue portion (253) are locked in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction (X direction) of the protrusion (152) and the direction (Y direction), the locking can be more stable. In addition, since the locking is performed on both sides of the protrusion (152), a more stable locking can be achieved.

In some embodiments, the fatigue member (253) may be elastic. The fatigue member (253) may be coupled with the lock member (153) along the chamfer (110c in FIG. 5) of the mail housing (110) to be described later. A detailed description thereof will be described later.

The guide slope (254) may be formed on the upper and lower parts of the body (251). The guide slope (254) may be an inclined surface into which the guide protrusion (154) of the moving member (150) is inserted. That is, the guide protrusion (154) of the moving member (150) may be inserted along the guide slope (254). In some embodiments, the guide protrusion (154) may have elasticity, but is not limited thereto.

FIGS. 5 and 6 are exemplary cross-sectional views for explaining the combination of the movable member of FIG. 2 and the holder of FIG. 2. For reference, FIG. 5 may be a cross-section in the X-Y plane, and FIG. 6 may be a cross-section in the X-Z plane.

First, referring to FIG. 5, the lock portion (153) and the fatigue portion (253) can be coupled to each other.

The fatigue member (253) may have elasticity, and the fatigue member (253) may be coupled with the lock member (153) along the chamfer (110c) of the mail housing (110). The chamfer (110c) of the mail housing (110) may be a side wall of the mail housing (110).

As illustrated in FIG. 5, the thickness of the chamfer (110c) of the mail housing (110) gradually becomes thicker as it faces the first direction (-X). The thickness of the chamfer (110c) of the mail housing (110) gradually becomes thinner as it faces the first direction (X). Therefore, when the moving member (150) moves in the first direction (X), the fatigue member (253) can be coupled with the lock member (153) along the chamfer (110c) of the mail housing (110).

First, the protrusion (152) of the movable member (150) can be inserted into the receiving portion (252) of the holder (250). Then, the fatigue portion (253) can be coupled with the lock portion (153) along the chamfer (110c) of the mail housing (110). When the fatigue portion (253) and the lock portion (153) are coupled, the fatigue portion (253) and the lock portion (153) can overlap each other in the first direction (X).

For example, the first fatigue member (253a) can be combined with the first lock member (153a). The second fatigue member (253b) can be combined with the second lock member (153b). The first fatigue member (253a) overlaps the first lock member (153a) in the first direction (X). The second fatigue member (253b) overlaps the second lock member (153b) in the first direction (X).

Referring to FIG. 6, the guide protrusion (154) can be inserted along the guide slope (254).

The thickness of the guide protrusion (154) in the third direction (Z) gradually becomes thinner as it faces the first direction (X). The thickness of the guide protrusion (154) in the third direction (Z) gradually becomes thicker as it faces the -first direction (-X). Since the guide protrusion (154) has elasticity, the guide protrusion (154) can be inserted into the guide inclined surface (254) of the holder (250) as the moving member (150) moves in the first direction (X).

In this way, the movable member (150) and the holder (250) can be fixed by the locking engagement of the lock portion (153) and the fatigue portion (253) and the insertion of the guide projection (154) and the guide inclined surface (254). Since the movable member (150) and the holder (250) are doubly fixed by the locking engagement of the lock portion (153) and the fatigue portion (253) and the insertion of the guide projection (154), they can be more stably combined. In addition, the locking engagement of the lock portion (153) and the fatigue portion (253) can be performed in the second direction (Y), and the insertion of the guide projection (154) can be performed in the third direction (Z). Since the locking of the lock portion (153) and the fatigue portion (253) and the insertion of the guide projection (154) are performed in a direction perpendicular to each other, the moving member (150) and the holder (250) can be combined more stably.

Fig. 7 is an exemplary cross-sectional view for explaining the combination of the moving member of Fig. 2 and the mail housing of Fig. 2. For reference, Fig. 7 may be a cross-section in the X-Y plane.

Referring to FIG. 7, the first stopper (155a) can protrude in the second direction (Y). The mail housing (110) can have a catch step (115). When the moving member (150) moves in the first direction (X), the first stopper (155a) catches on the catch step (115). That is, the first stopper (155a) and the catch step (115) can fix the moving member (150) and the mail housing (110).

Although not shown, the second stopper can protrude in the -second direction (-Y). When the movable member (150) moves in the first direction (X), the second stopper is caught by the catch step (115). That is, the first stopper and the catch step (115) can fix the movable member (150) and the mail housing (110).

Hereinafter, a method of coupling a connector according to some embodiments will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 10.

FIGS. 8 to 10 are drawings for explaining a method of coupling a connector according to some embodiments.

Referring to FIG. 8, a method of coupling a connector according to some embodiments may include inserting a protrusion into a receiving portion (S110), coupling a lock portion and a fatigue portion to each other (S120), and inserting a guide protrusion into a guide slope (S130). Each step may be performed sequentially. That is, first, the protrusion may be inserted into the receiving portion, then the lock portion and the fatigue portion may be coupled to each other, and then the guide protrusion may be inserted along the guide slope.

More specifically, referring to FIG. 9, the movable member (150) may move in the first direction (X) so that the protrusion (152) may be inserted into the receiving portion (252). At this time, the fatigue portion (253) may not be combined with the lock portion (153).

Next, the movable member (150) can move further in the first direction (X). Accordingly, the fatigue member (253) can be coupled with the lock member (153) along the chamfer (110c) of the mail housing (110) (S120). Since the chamfer (110c) of the mail housing (110) has a thinner thickness toward the first direction (X), when the movable member (150) moves in the first direction (X), the fatigue member (253) can be coupled with the lock member (153) along the chamfer (110c). Since the fatigue member (253) has elasticity, it can be moved along the chamfer (110c). At this time, the guide protrusion (154) may not yet be inserted into the guide inclined surface (254).

Referring to FIG. 10, a guide protrusion (154) can be inserted along a guide slope (254).

The guide protrusion (154) can protrude in the third direction (Z). In addition, the guide protrusion (154) can have elasticity. Accordingly, when the moving member (150) moves in the first direction (X), the guide protrusion (154) can be pushed in the third direction (Z) and inserted along the guide slope (254). As the guide protrusion (154) is inserted into the guide slope (254), the connector can be coupled.

In this way, the connector according to some embodiments can be primarily fixed by the locking engagement of the lock portion (153) and the fatigue portion (253), and secondarily fixed by the insertion of the guide projection (154) into the guide inclined surface (254). As a result, the coupling between the movable member (150) and the holder (250) can be stabilized, and the bending phenomenon between the male terminal (120) and the female terminal (220) can be improved.

FIGS. 11 to 13 are drawings for explaining a method of disassembling a connector according to some embodiments.

First, referring to FIG. 11, a method of disassembling a connector according to some embodiments may include disassembling a guide protrusion from a guide slope (S210), disassembling a combination of a lock portion and a fatigue portion (S220), and disassembling a protrusion from a receiving portion (S230). Each step may be performed in sequence. That is, first, the guide protrusion may be disassembled from the guide slope, then the combination of the lock portion and the fatigue portion may be disassembled, and then the protrusion may be disassembled from the receiving portion.

Specifically, referring to FIG. 12, the guide protrusion (154) can be disassembled along the guide slope (254). As the moving member (150) moves in the -first direction (-X), the elasticity of the guide protrusion (154) can be released. The guide protrusion (154) can be disassembled along the inserted guide slope (254). At this time, the combination of the lock portion (153) and the fatigue portion (253) may not be disassembled.

Referring to FIG. 13, the joint between the fatigue member (253) and the lock member (153) is disengaged as the movable member (150) moves in the -first direction (-X). The fatigue member (253) can be disengaged from the joint with the lock member (153) as it moves along the chamfer (110c) of the mail housing (110).
