Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a connector, and particularly to a connector in which the connection angle can be changed by combining male and female housing connectors.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems]

Housing connectors are often used for internal wiring of electronic devices.

This connector generally consists of male and female housing connectors with square or rectangular end faces and a surface perpendicular to the axis, and is electrically connected by fitting the male and female housing connectors linearly in the axial direction. The connection is made. However, in the case of a connector in which the male and female housing connectors are fitted linearly in the axial direction as described above, it is inconvenient when changing the connection angle due to wiring reasons, especially when changing the connection angle to almost a right angle. When attempting to do so, it is undesirable because unreasonable stress is applied to the connecting cable, leading to accidents such as disconnection.

[Purpose of invention]

The present invention was developed based on the above circumstances, and it is possible to easily change the connection angle without applying undue stress to the connection cable when it is desired to change the connection angle due to reasons such as internal wiring. The purpose is to provide connectors.

[Summary of the idea]

That is, in the present invention, the connection end faces of the male and female housing connectors constituting the connector are formed to have a predetermined angle of inclination with respect to the central axis thereof, and the connection angle is changed by changing the butt direction of the male and female housing connectors. This connector is characterized by being changeable.

[Example of idea]

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

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a male housing connector according to the present invention. In this figure, a male housing connector casing 1 made of synthetic resin or the like has an inclined surface 1b formed at a predetermined angle of inclination .theta. with respect to a bottom surface 1a. A plurality of connection pins 2 are installed on this inclined surface 1b so as to be perpendicular to this inclined surface 1b.

An inclined surface 1b that rises at right angles from the bottom surface 1a.
The vertical surface 1c facing the male housing connector is provided with connection windows 3 having the same number and the same arrangement as the connecting pins 2 when viewed from the direction perpendicular to the inclined surface. Connection pin 2 and connection window 3
and are configured to be electrically connected to each other.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a female housing connector that is combined with the male housing connector configured as described above. In this figure, the casing 4 of the female housing connector has the same cross-sectional shape as the casing 1 of the male housing connector, and includes a bottom surface 4a, an inclined surface 4b, and a vertical surface 4c. This inclined surface 4b has the same number of connecting pins 2 of the male housing connector 1, and has the same arrangement as the connecting pins 2 when viewed from the direction perpendicular to the inclined surface 1b, and is used for connecting pins 2 to form electrical contact with the connecting pins 2. A window 5 is formed. Moreover, this inclined surface 4b
On a vertical surface 4c that is perpendicular to the bottom surface 4a facing the bottom surface 4a, connection pins 6 are planted in the same number as the connection windows 5 and in the same arrangement as those seen from the direction perpendicular to the inclined surface 4b. , is electrically connected to the connection window 5.

Next, how to use the male housing connector 1 and the female housing connector 4 having the above configuration will be explained with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.

When connecting the male housing connector 1 at right angles to the female housing connector 4, the third
As shown in the figure, the inclined surface 4b of both housings 4, 1
and 1b are combined so that their inclination angles θ are matched. In addition, when connecting the male housing connector 4 to the female housing connector 4 in a straight line, as shown in FIG.
is the obtuse angle φ of each housing connector 4, 1
Combine so that they are facing each other.

In the above case, the connecting pin 2 planted on the inclined surface 1b of the male housing connector 1 is inserted into the connecting window 5 of the female housing connector 4, and the two are integrally connected.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, this device makes it possible to change the connection angle to a right angle or straight line by changing the combination of the inclined surfaces of the male and female housing connectors, which is convenient when changing the wiring inside the device, etc. In particular, when changing the wiring to a right angle, it is possible to prevent accidents such as disconnection without applying undue stress to the wiring.
