Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to an improved connector for preventing the generation of collision noise.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, for example, a connector used for electric wiring of an automobile has a problem that it collides with a vehicle body or the like while traveling and generates an unpleasant collision sound. For this reason,
Normally, the connector is tied to the above-mentioned vehicle body or the like with tape or bind wire, but the work is troublesome, and depending on the place, there are places where it cannot be tied or untied. However, there was a problem that the collision noise could not be completely prevented.

Therefore, for example, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. Sho 60-94782, a fin portion is provided on the outer surface portion of the connector in a standing state, and when the connector collides with the vehicle body or the like, the fin portion softly contacts to collide. Something to prevent the generation of sound is considered.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) However, the one considered as described above has a drawback that the connector is bulky at the time of transportation etc. due to the fin portion, and it is difficult to pass a narrow place when wiring. It had a drawback.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and therefore, the object thereof is that it does not require binding to other parts, is not bulky during transportation, and can be easily passed through a narrow space. An object of the present invention is to provide an excellent connector capable of preventing the occurrence of collision noise.

[Means for Solving the Problems] (Means for Solving the Problems) The connector of the present invention is provided with a fin portion in a prone state on the outer surface portion of one unit connector of one side and the other side, and the other side. This is characterized in that the side unit connector is provided with a raised portion for holding the fin portion in an upright state when connected to the unit connector on the one side.

(Operation) According to the above means, the fin portion is normally present in the prone state, and it is not bulky during transportation or the like, and it is possible to easily pass through a narrow place.

On the other hand, at the time of a collision, the fin portion held in the upright state makes soft contact with the collision point, so that generation of a collision sound can be prevented.

(Embodiment) An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

First, in FIG. 2, reference numeral 1 is a female connector which is a unit connector on one side, and 2 is a male connector which is a unit connector on the other side.
It is equipped with a terminal that can be connected and disconnected to make the connection state. On the other hand, in this case, on the four outer surfaces of the female connector 1, two fins 5 are formed on each of all four surfaces of the female connector 1 in a prone state in which the fins are spread from the central portion to the left and right sides by integral molding of plastic. It is provided. On the other hand, on the outer surface of the male connector 2, which also has four surfaces, all of the four surfaces have a pine needle pin-shaped raised portion 6 directed rearward.
Is also formed by integral molding of plastic.

Therefore, in the case of the above configuration, when the male side connector 2 is inserted into the female side connector 1 in order to bring the lead wires 3 and 4 into the connected state, as shown in FIG. The fins 5 are raised under the respective bases, and the fins 5 are raised, and the raised state, that is, the standing state is maintained. Thus, the fin portion 5 held in such an upright state folds when the connector collides with another portion and makes a soft contact with the collision portion, and thus it is possible to prevent generation of a collision sound. Therefore, binding to other parts is not required.

Further, the fin portion 5 exists in the prone state shown in FIG. 2 before the above-mentioned process, and therefore, the fin portion 5 does not need to be bulky during transportation or the like and can easily pass through a narrow place when wiring.

Further, the raising of the fin portion 5 from the prone state is performed at the same time by coupling the female side connector 1 and the male side connector 2, and it is not necessary to perform a special raising operation. When the connection with the male connector 2 is released, the fin portion 5 can be returned to the original prone state, and therefore the returning operation does not need to be special and can be conveniently performed.

In the above embodiment, the female connector 1 is used as the unit connector on one side, the fin portion 5 is provided on the unit connector, and the male connector 2 is used as the unit connector on the other side, and the raised portion 6 is provided. The configuration may be reversed. Further, the fin portion 5 and the raised portion 6 may be provided separately by being separately formed and attached to the one side unit connector and the other side unit connector, respectively. Furthermore, the fins 5 and the raised portions 6 may be provided only at necessary places, not on the entire surfaces of the unit connector on the one side and the unit connector on the other side.

Besides, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above and shown in the drawings, and various modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the invention.

[Effects of the Invention] As is apparent from the above description, according to the connector of the present invention, the fin portion is provided in the prone state on the outer surface of the unit connector on one side of the unit connectors on the one side and the other side. , The other unit connector is provided with a raised portion that holds the fin portion in an upright state when connected to the one unit connector, so that it does not need to be bound to other portions, and It is easy to pass through a narrow space without being bulky during transportation and can prevent the occurrence of collision noise.
Also, no special operation is required to undulate the fins,
It has an excellent effect of being convenient.

[Brief description of drawings]
