Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a connector for wiring in a vehicle, and more particularly, to a vehicle wiring connector which can be firmly attached to a vehicle panel by a simple operation.
  • Typical of the connectors conventionally used for wiring in automobiles are the pair of connectors as shown in Fig. 15, wherein one connector 35 is attached to a terminal end of a harness W and the other connector 40 is attached to a terminal end of a harness W′.
  • the harness W is passed through a grommet 30 and a silencing cap 31 and thereafter, fitted in the front end opening portion of the grommet 30.
  • the grommet 30 is the fitted in a hole "a" in the vehicle panel "A” and a sound baffle 31 is fitted into the front end opening of the grommet 30. Thereafter, the connector 35 and the connector 40 disposed away from the vehicle panel "A" are electrically connected.
  • FIG. 16 Another known pair of connectors is shown in Fig. 16, wherein one connector 35 attached to a terminal end of a harness W has forwardly inclined latching arms 36, 36 provided with engagement protrusions 36a, 36a, and the other connector 40 is attached to a terminal end of a harness W′.
  • a grommet 30 is fitted around the periphery of the rear end of the connector 35.
  • the engagement protrusions 36a, 36a of the latching arms 36, 36 provided on the connector 35 are forcibly pressed into a hole "a" in the vehicle panel "A”, to thereby simultaneously attach the connector 35 and the grommet 30 to the vehicle panel "A", and thereafter, the connector 40 is connected to the connector 35.
  • the grommet 30 and the connector 35 are fitted simultaneously to the vehicle panel “A” by press-fitting the engagement protrusions 36a, 36a formed at the front ends of the latching projections 36, 36 provided on the connector 35 into the hole “a" in the vehicle panel “A”, and thus the connecting of the connectors 35 and 40 can be done with one hand, and accordingly, the work efficiency is improved.
  • the connection shown in Fig. 16 if a mechanical pushing force, etc., is exerted in the axial direction on the connector 35, the connector 35 is very easily detached from the vehicle panel "A".
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle wiring connector providing a superior work efficiency and able to be securely and firmly attached to the vehicle panel.
  • the present invention provides a first connector for wiring in a vehicle comprising: a connector body consisting of a male or a female connector attached to a terminal end of a harness; engagement projections formed at the outer wall surface of the connector body and engageable with the two side edges of a hole made in a vehicle panel; and characterized by a upwardly inclined movable piece formed at the outer wall surface of the connector body and pressed into contact with the inside surface of the hole in the panel by a repulsion spring force thereof to thereby engage the engagement projections with the hole in the vehicle panel.
  • grommet e.g., a rubber grommet
  • grommet is attached to the periphery of the one of the connector bodies.
  • the engagement projections of the connector body engage with the two side edges of the hole in the vehicle panel, the upwardly inclined movable piece is pressed into contact with the inside surface of the hole in the panel, and due to the repulsion spring force thereof, the engagement projections are securely and firmly engaged with the edges of the hole in the vehicle panel.
  • the present invention provides a second connector for wiring in a vehicle comprising: a connector body consisting of a male or a female connector attached to a terminal end of a harness; engagement projections formed at the outer wall surface of the connector body and engageable with the two side edges of a hole made in a vehicle panel; characterized by a movable piece formed at the outer wall surface of the connector body and pressed into contact with the inside surface of the hole in the panel; a locking key insertion portion formed under the movable piece; and a locking key to be inserted into the locking key insertion portion to lock the movable piece and firmly engage the engagement projections with the hole in the vehicle panel.
  • a third connector is also realized according to claim 5.
  • the movable piece is provided with a repulsion spring force sufficient to press the movable piece into contact with the inside surface of the hole in the vehicle panel to thereby firmly engage the engagement projections with the hole in the vehicle panel.
  • the movable piece is provided with a stopper projection formed at the base end thereof, such that the front end of the locking key abuts against the stopper projection.
  • a grommet preferably a rubber grommet, is attached to the periphery of one of the connector bodies.
  • the engagement projections of the connector body engage with the two side edges of the hole in the vehicle panel, and the movable piece is pressed into contact with the inside surface of the hole in the vehicle panel. Then, to the repulsion spring force of the movable piece, the engagement projections are firmly engaged with the two side edges of the hole in the vehicle panel. Thereafter, locking key is inserted into the locking key insertion portion, to thereby stop any movement of the movable piece to thus securely and firmly fix the connector to the vehicle panel.
  • the front end of the locking key abuts against the stopper projection provided at the base end of the movable piece, and thus cannot be fully inserted into the locking key insertion portion, and accordingly, it can be detected that the connector is not properly attached to the vehicle panel.
  • the rubber grommet is fitted tightly to the vehicle panel, and thus prevents the entry of noise, rain water, and dust, etc., from the engine compartment to the passenger compartment of the vehicle.
  • 1 is a female connector comprised of a connector body 50
  • 2 is a fitting hole in which the front end of the opposing male connector 10 is fitted
  • 3 is a cutaway portion opening into the fitting hole 2
  • 4 is an upwardly inclined movable piece vertically and movably supported at the outer wall surface of end of the cutaway portion 3.
  • the upwardly inclined movable piece 4, as shown in Fig. 2 is pressed into contact with the inside surface of a hole "a" in a vehicle panel "A”, and due to a repulsive spring force thereof, causes later-mentioned engagement projections 5 and 6 to be fully engaged with the two side edges of the hole "a” in the panel.
  • Reference numerals 5 and 6 show engagement projections formed at the front end of the connector body 50.
  • the engagement projections 5 and 6 are designed in such a manner that they are engaged with the two side edges on both sides of the hole "a”, respectively, in the vehicle panel "A”.

  • positions at which the upwardly inclined movable piece 4 and the engagement projections 5 and 6 are provided are not limited and the design may be modified according to need.
  • Reference numeral 10 denotes a male connector comprised of a connector body 52 and a flange portion 11 provided at the outer peripheral surface of rear end of the connector body 52.
  • reference numeral 20 denotes a rubber grommet.
  • the rubber grommet 20 is provided with a fitting groove 21 which fits detachably over the flange portion 11 provided at the outer peripheral surface of the rear end of the male connector 10 and has a suction cup shaped tight-fitting portion 22 formed at the front end.
  • the female connector 1 when connecting, for example, a harness W disposed at the passenger compartment side and a harness W′ disposed in the engine compartment, as shown in Fig. 2, the female connector 1 is connected to the terminal end of the harness W disposed in the passenger compartment, is inclined to press the front end of the upwardly inclined movable piece 4 into contact with the inside surface of the hole "a" in the vehicle panel "A” to thereby bend the upwardly inclined movable piece 4 and force it inside the cutaway portion 3, or the upwardly inclined movable piece 4 can be manually forced into the cutaway portion 3, and accordingly, the engagement projections 5 and 6 are engaged with the two side edges of the hole "a" in the panel A. Therefore, as shown in Fig.
  • the male connector 10 attached to the grommet 20 is inserted into the fitting hole 2 of the female connector 1, whereby the harness W disposed in the passenger compartment and the harness W′ disposed in the engine compartment are electrically connected, and the suction cup shaped tight fitting portion 22 provided at the front end of the grommet 20 is tightly adhered to the vehicle panel "A", to thereby completely prevent the entry of noise, rain water, and dust, etc., from the engine compartment to the passenger compartment of the vehicle.
  • any movement of the upwardly inclined movable piece 4 provided in the female connector 1 is prevented by the outer wall surface of the male connector 10, as shown in Fig. 3, and therefore, the female connector 1 is securely and firmly fixed to the vehicle panel "A", and will not be detached therefrom even if a mechanical tensile force, etc. is exerted on the harness W.
  • the outer wall surface of the front end of the female connector 1 is provided with an upwardly inclined movable piece 4 and engagement projections 5 and 6, and the grommet 20 is attached to the male connector 10 to be connected to the female connector 1, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment as it is obviously possible to provide the upwardly inclined movable piece and the engagement projections at the outer wall surface of the front end of the male connector 10, and to attach the grommet to the female connector 1 to be connected to the male connector 10.
  • the female connector 1 not only can the female connector 1 be securely attached to the vehicle panel “A” by a simple operation of just inserting the female connector 1 into the hole “a” in the vehicle panel “A”, against the spring force of the upwardly inclined movable piece 1 provided in the female connector 1, to thereby engage the engagement projections 5 and 6 with the edges of the hole “a” in the panel “A”, but also the opposing male connector 10 can be connected to the female connector 1 with one hand, and thus the work efficiency is remarkably improved.
