Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a multiplex terminal arrangement for a multidrop connection used in a multiplex transmission terminal for an industrial field or vehicle system.
  • Fig. 1 shows an example of a multiplex transmission system using a multidrop connection system.
  • 101 and 102 denote power transmission lines for supplying power to terminals 105 and 106 and 103 and 104 denote data transmission lines for transmitting data information to the terminals 105 and 106.
  • the respective terminals 105 and 106 are provided with actuators 107 and 108 such as an electric motor or display lamp which are activated by the data information in addition to various switches 109 and 110 for inputting the data information.
  • the power lines 101 and 102 and data lines 103 and 104 are connected to the respective terminals 105 and 106 by means of one or more separate connectors.
  • An essential object of the present invention is to provide a multiplex transmission terminal which is easily mounted on a cable assembly and each connecting end of the multiplex transmission terminal can be easily connected with the cable assembly without any cable processing.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a multiplex transmission terminal which can be mounted anywhere on the cable assembly as desired.
  • a multiplex transmission terminal which is connected with a cable assembly having power conductors and signal conductors, said terminal comprising: a case body composed of a pair of case halves coupled by coupling means so that both of the halves are adapted to open and close around said coupling means; recess means defined inside said case body for accommodating a part of said cable assembly; at least one connecting member provided any one of the case halves, having an connecting end of said connecting member projected in said recess so that said connecting end is detachably contacted to any one of the conductors of said cable assembly.
  • the cable unit comprises a pair of power supply conductors 1 and 2 of an elongated strip shape extending parallelly, being opposed each other.
  • the two conductors 1 and 2 are separated as close as possible but assuring a desired withstand voltage.
  • the cable unit further comprises a pair of signal conductors 3 and 4 closely disposed each other and extending parallelly at any one side of the power supply conductors 1 and 2.
  • the respective distances between the signal conductor 3 and both of the power supply conductors 1 and 2 are made equal so as to prevent electrostatic induction from the power supply conductors 1 and 2.
  • the respective distances between the signal conductor 4 and both of the power conductors 1 and 2 are also equal.
  • the respective conductors 1 to 4 are covered with insulation material 11 (referred to as insulation layer hereinafter) as shown in Fig. 3. Although the conductors 1 to 4 are covered with insulation layer 11 over the whole length of the conductors, the terminal can be connected to the respective conductors 1 to 4 anywhere desired on the multiplex cable unit as mentioned below.
  • insulation layer referred to as insulation layer hereinafter
  • a terminal case 30 is composed of a top case half 30a and bottom case half 30b made of resin material.
  • the terminal case 30 is shown in a transparent manner.
  • Both of the case halves 30a and 30b are rotatably coupled by one or more hinges 19 so that both of the case halves 30a and 30b can be opened and closed around the hinge 19.
  • a lock mechanism 20 is provided at the right hand portion of the outside of the terminal case 30.
  • the locking mechanism 20 comprises a projection 20b projected outward from the bottom case half 30b and a resilient arm 20a projected from the top case half 30a in a generally L character shape so that the the resilient arm 20a can be releasably engaged beneath the lower part of the projection 20b.
  • a printed circuit board 25 is accommodated in the top case half 30a and possible circuit arrangement including such as integrated circuit chip 23 or other necessary components for use in the multiplex transmission terminal is provided on the printed circuit board 25.
  • Such circuit arrangement including the integrated circuit 23 and other components are respectively connected to the conductor patterns 24 formed on the printed circuit board 25 so as to provide a desired terminal circuit.
  • Three pressing connector pins 15, 17 and 18 are downwardly projected from the printed circuit board 25 toward a recess 26 detail of which is explained later and one pressing type connector pin 16 is upwardly projected from the bottom case half 30b toward the recess 26.
  • the connector pins 15 and 16 are so projected that the respective connector ends are opposed in the recess 26 and the connector pin 15 is connected to one of the printed circuit pattern 24.
  • the connector pins 17 and 18 are connected to the other printed circuit patterns 29 and the connector pin 16 is connected to printed circuit pattern 24 through a conductor wire 27.
  • the recess 26 is formed by a combination of elongated recesses 26x extending in a longitudinal direction of each of the case halves 30a and 30b on the respective inner surfaces 31 and 32.
  • the recess 26x has such a shape as to conform to the outside shape of the top half or bottom half of the cable unit 10.
  • the shape of the recess 26 is complementary to the outer shape of the multiplex cable unit 10, so that the multiplex cable unit 10 is accommodated in the recess 26 clamped by the inner surfaces 26y of the top half 30a or bottom half 30b which defines the recess 26x.
  • the respective connector pins 15 to 18 have their end portions shaped into a fork shape with the ends sharpened so that when the terminal 30 is closed accommodating the cable unit 10, the ends of the respective connector pins 15 to 18 can penetrate the insulation layer 11 of the cable unit 10 and the ends of the connector pins can be pressed and contacted with the conductors 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively.
  • the connector pin 15 may be supported to the upper half 30a through a resilient member 27 so as to contact to a conductor resiliently.
  • the top case half 30a and bottom case half 30b are opened around the hinge 19 as shown in Fig. 4.
  • the terminal 30 is mounted to the cable unit 10 by fitting the cable unit 10 in the recess 26 in such a manner that the power conductor portion 10f is laid in the generally flat shaped recess 26f and signal conductor portions 10r are laid in the round recesses 26r. Then the terminal 30 is closed as shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 5 with the top half 30a and bottom half 30b locked in a closed manner by engaging the arm 20a with the projection 20b.
  • Fig. 5 shows an example of mounting of the terminal 30 on the cable unit 10 with an electric motor 7 and a lamp 8 coupled to the terminal 30 through connection plug 60 so as to connect the motor 7 and lamp 8 to the connecting pins 21 projected from the side wall of the terminal 30.
  • an advantage of the present invention is in that the terminal 30 can be mounted on the cable unit 10 by only clamping operation and it is easily to have the connector pins contacted with the conductors of the cable unit without any works to the cable such as cable cutting and end processing. Moreover, since no connector member is unnecessary on the cable side, the cost of connecting the terminal to the cable can be reduced.
  • Another advantage of the present invention is in that the terminal can be mounted anywhere desired easily.
