Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a cable connecting structure for connecting a terminal of a cable to a connecting portion of a lever via a holder so that a tensile force is transmitted.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventional cable connection structures include those shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, for example. In this structure, a disc-shaped terminal member (103) is fixed by molding at the end of the inner cable (102) inserted through the outer cable (101), and the hole (103 a) of the terminal member (103) is fixed. And a shaft-shaped holder (105) made of a synthetic resin material or the like in a hole (104a) of a connecting portion (104) which is a lever of a mating component rotatably pivotally attached to the substrate and a claw portion (105a). ) Is elastically deformed to be inserted so that the end of the inner cable (102) is connected to the connecting portion (104) of the lever via the holder (105) so that the tensile force is transmitted.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the conventional connecting structure as described above, when connecting the end of the inner cable (102) to the connecting portion (104) of the lever, the end member (103) is fixed to the inner cable (102), and Since the holder (105) must be prepared separately, there are problems that the number of parts increases, assembly becomes complicated, and cost increases. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above problems of the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a cable connection structure in which the number of parts is reduced and assembly can be performed easily.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 To achieve the above object, the structure of the present invention is a cable connecting structure for connecting a terminal of a cable to a connecting part of a lever so that a pulling force is transmitted. The bent portion is formed, and the bent portion has a base portion that can be fitted to the connecting portion of the lever, an engaging portion that can be engaged with the base portion in the cable pulling direction, and a facing portion that faces the engaging portion. It is characterized in that the holder portion, which is formed by the above-mentioned method and has an elastic force and a flange portion which can hold the lever by the engaging portion, is fixed.

[0005]

[Action]

 By fitting the base of the holder to the connecting part of the lever, the front and back of the connecting part of the lever are elastically held by the flange and the engaging part, and the cable is easily connected to the lever. In addition, since the bent portion of the cable is bent into an L shape, even if a tensile force acts on the cable, the bent portion extending in a direction substantially orthogonal to the pulling direction is the base portion. The end of the cable does not come out of the holder because it is engaged with.

[0006]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. A cable (2) connected to a connecting portion (1a) of a lever (1) pivotally attached to a substrate such as a panel (not shown) by a shaft includes an outer cable (3) made of a covering material and an outer cable. The inner cable (4) is inserted through the cable (3), and a bent portion (4a) bent into an L shape is formed at the tip of the inner cable (4) as shown in FIG. Has been. The other end of the cable (2) is connected to another lever so that the lever (1) and the other lever are connected so that a tensile force is transmitted.

A holder part (5) integrally formed of a synthetic resin material or the like having elasticity is molded and fixed to the bent part (4a). The holder part (5) is molded in the bent part (4a) of the inner cable (4) when the cable (2) is cut into a predetermined length, and is drilled in the lever (1). And a pair of elastically deformable collars (5b) extending radially from the base of the base (5a) that rotatably fits into the circular connecting hole (1b). The base (5a) is formed so as to face the flange (5b) at the tip of the base (5a), and the inward elastic engaging part (5c) and the base (5a) are formed as indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. It is formed of an extension portion (5d) extending along the inner cable (4).

To connect the cable (2) to the lever (1), the engaging part (5c) of the holder part (5) is fitted into the connecting hole (1b) of the lever (1). Then, the engaging portion (5c) passes through the connecting hole (1b) while elastically deforming inward, and the base portion (5a) fits into the connecting hole (1c). As a result, the front and back of the connecting portion (1a) of the lever (1) are sandwiched by the elastic force by the collar portion (5b) and the engaging portion (5c), and the holder portion (5) does not rattle and is simple. The cable (2) is connected to the connecting portion (1a) of the lever (1). In addition, since the bent portion (4a) of the inner cable (4) is bent in an L shape, even if a tensile force is applied to the inner cable (4), it is in a direction substantially orthogonal to the pulling direction. Since the bent portion (4) extending to the end is engaged with the base portion (5a), the tip of the inner cable (4) does not come out of the holder portion (5).

4 to 6 show a second embodiment of the present invention. An L-shaped bent portion (8a) is formed at the tip of the inner cable (8) of the cable (7) connected to the connecting portion (6a) of the lever (6) pivotally attached to the substrate. The bent portion (8a) has a base portion (9a) which engages with a slit (6b) cut in the connecting portion (6a) and a spherical engagement portion (9a) formed at the front end of the base portion (9a). 9c) and a pair of elastically deformable collars (9b) formed at the base of the base (9a), and a holder (9) molded of a synthetic resin material is fixed by molding. .

To connect the cable (7) to the lever (5), the base portion (9a) of the holder portion (9) is fitted in the slit (6b) of the connecting portion (6a) along the direction of the arrow. Then, the connecting portion (6a) is held by the engaging portion (9c) and the flange portion (9b), and the inner cable (8) is connected to the lever (6) via the holder portion (9). In the second embodiment as well, similar to the first embodiment, the bent portion (8a) of the inner cable (8) is bent in an L-shape, and is substantially in the pulling direction of the inner cable (8). By extending in the orthogonal direction, even if a tensile force acts on the inner cable (8), the bent portion (8a) engages with the engaging portion (9a) of the holder portion (9), The tip of the cable (8) will not come out of the holder (9).

[0011]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, by fixing the holder portion to the end of the cable bent into an L shape, the number of parts is reduced, the assembly can be performed easily, and the cost is reduced. Can be planned.
