Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a connector mounting structure, particularly to a connector mounting structure that can be mounted with one hand.

In general, connectors are used to connect electric wires, so considerations include ease of connection to the electric wires to be connected and prevention of the electric wires from falling off once connected.

FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view of a conventional connector, in this case shown as an example used for electrically connecting an injection mixer and a vehicle body of an automobile. In Figure 1, 1 indicates a connector in a connected state, and as shown in Figure 2, it consists of a male terminal 2 and a female terminal 3. For example, a cable 4 fixed to the male terminal 2 is an indicator A cable 5 connected to the extension mixer and fixed to the female side terminal 3 is connected to the vehicle body. Therefore, when connecting these to each other, hold the male and female terminals 2 and 3 with both hands, respectively, and complete the electrical connection by joining them in the direction of the arrow shown in Figure 2. Furthermore, it is configured to be mechanically held by a clip 6 fixed in advance.

However, with the above-mentioned conventional device, each terminal must be electrically connected using both hands at the time of connection, and then it must be fixed with a holding means such as a clip, which makes the connection complicated. It has the disadvantage that it requires

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, and aims to provide a connector mounting structure that allows easy connection and requires less man-hours.

In the present invention, one connector is fixed to the bracket in advance with a band-shaped plate, and
This bracket is fixed to the ignition mixer, and the other connector connected to the vehicle body is connected to the fixed connector with one hand.

Examples will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 3 is a front view of an embodiment of the connector mounting structure according to the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the bracket portion separated.

In FIG. 3, reference numeral 7 denotes a bracket, which is fixed to the injection mixer by screws 8. Reference numeral 9 indicates the female side of the connector terminal, which is shown connected in the direction of the arrow in the figure. Furthermore, the third
The male side of the connector terminal is not shown in the figure.

As shown in FIG. 4, the bracket 7 includes a U-shaped duct body 10 and a band-shaped holding portion 1 integrally provided at one end of the duct body 10.
1, and the band-like holding portion 11 has a connecting piece 12 protruding from the width of the duct body 10. Further, the connection piece 12 is attached to the duct body 10.
A fixing frame 13 is provided protrudingly opposite to the fixing frame 13, and can be fastened to each other via screws 14.
In FIG. 4, the end of the fixing frame 13 is bent toward the surface of the band-like holding part, and this serves as a stopper when the screw 14 is tightened. 15 is a hole, which is a band-shaped holding part 1;
1, and when the male terminal 16 of the connector is attached, it engages with a protrusion 17 formed on the male terminal surface to prevent the cable from falling off. Therefore, the shape of the hole has the same shape as the protrusion.

Next, the connection operation will be explained. First, the U-shaped duct body (bracket) 10 is fixed to an injection mixer (not shown) with screws 8, and then the male terminal 16 of the connector is inserted from below, and the protrusion 17 is engaged with the hole 15. Then, tighten and fix the band-shaped holding part 11 with screws 14. In this state, if the other connector 9 is attached with one hand, the connection is completed. Moreover, since the hole 15 on the bracket side and the protrusion 17 on the connector side are engaged and firmly tightened by the band-like holding portion, the other connector can be inserted and removed stably.

As explained above, according to the present invention, one of the connectors is fixed to the bracket, and the bracket itself is also fixed, so that the connector connected to the bracket can not only be inserted and removed stably with one hand, but also It is possible to provide a connector mounting structure that can save labor during connection work.
