    [0001] LEVER CONNECTOR In its field the invention relates to a lever connector. In the description of the prior art, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2012-146445 discloses a known connector which includes a housing with a terminal receiving portion and a lever receiving portion on a side of the receiving portion. of terminal. The terminal receiving portion receives terminal fittings and can be assembled in a receptacle of a conjugate connector. A plate-shaped lever is mounted to be movable in the lever receiving portion of the housing and has a cam groove. The lever can be activated while coupling the cam groove of the lever to a cam pin of the mated connector to produce a camming action that causes connection and separation of the connector and the mating connector. However, the side of the connector that includes the lever tends to move earlier than the opposite side of the connector to the lever. Thus, the connector tends to tilt into the receptacle of the conjugate connector, and improvement is desired. The invention has been made on the basis of the foregoing situation and is intended to create a lever connector which can prevent the inclination of the connector when the connector is connected. In summary, the invention relates to a set of connectors with first and second connectors. The first connector has a housing with a terminal receiving portion for receiving terminal fittings and a lever receiving portion for receiving a lever. The second connector includes a receptacle that can receive the terminal receiving portion of the first connector. The lever may be activated to cause the terminal receiving portion of the first connector to move into the receptacle of the second connector or to separate from the receptacle of the second connector. A guide rib extends over an inner peripheral surface of the receptacle and a guide groove is provided between the terminal receiving portion and the lever receiving portion. The guide rib can be assembled in the guide-free guide groove in a direction of arrangement of the terminal receiving portion and the lever receiving portion. The guide rib contacts the guide groove in the arrangement direction of the terminal receiving portion and the lever receiving portion at a position close to the lever and, therefore, at a position in which the The connector tends to tilt forward by activating the lever. Therefore, the inclination of the connector during a connection can be prevented. The terminal fittings are connected to the end portions of wires that are pulled from the back surface of the housing. A wire cover for covering the extracted portions of the wires may be slid over the rear surface of the housing in an intersecting direction which intersects the direction of arrangement. A guide rib for guiding a sliding movement of the wire cover is arranged within a formation range of the guide groove in the housing arrangement direction. According to this configuration, the dimensions of the connector in the arrangement direction of the terminal receiving portion and the lever receiving portion can be made compact in comparison to the case in which the guide groove and the guide rib are arranged. at offset positions in the arrangement direction of the terminal receiving portion and the lever receiving portion. A lightening portion may be formed on a portion of the housing located within the guide groove. According to this configuration, the portion of the housing located inside the guide groove is thin and cavities 3 - 3 are not formed. The lightening portion may include a reinforcing wall to improve the strength of the housing while preventing the formation of cavities. Terminal receiving chambers are arranged on the terminal receiving part 5 to individually receive the terminal connectors and are arranged side by side in the direction of intersection. The reinforcing wall may be formed continuously in the arrangement direction, a partition wall providing separation between the terminal receiving chambers. According to this configuration, the resistance of the housing can be increased compared to the case in which the reinforcing wall is offset from the partition wall. The drawings will then be briefly described. Fig. 1 is a front view showing a first connector in one embodiment.

    [0013] The lever 30 of the first connector 10 is initially set to the initial position and the wire cover 50 is mounted. As shown in Fig. 4, the leading edge of the wire cover 50 is inserted into the slider portions 17 from the left or right side of the first housing 11 while the cover opening 51 of the wire cover 50 is arranged on a front side in the direction of sliding 25 and all of the son W is received inside the cover wire 50. The guide ribs 20 of the first housing 11 are then inserted into the sliding grooves 52 of the wire cover 50. When the Cover 50 is slid, the wires W are bent on the wire cover 50 and the cover opening 51 of the wire cover 50 reaches the opposite side of the first housing 11. Then, as shown in FIG. Cover locks 53 are locked to the cover locking portions 18 to limit sliding movement in an opposite direction. In addition, the guide ribs 20 reach the closed end portions of the sliding grooves 52 to limit further sliding movement. The guide ribs 20 and the sliding grooves 52 are locked in the longitudinal direction in order to limit the separation of the wire cover 50 in the longitudinal direction, thus completing the fitting of the wire cover 50. The first connector 10 is then assembled loosely in the receptacle 44 of the connector assembly portion 43, as shown in Fig. 7 (the wire cover 50 and the wires W are not shown). The leading end portions of the guide ribs 48 are then inserted into the leading end portions of the guide grooves 15, and the joining ribs 28 are then assembled into the joining grooves 49, as shown. Figure 8. The cam pin 46 then enters through the cam groove 33 entrance from the first reception path 21 and the latch release portion 47 enters from the second reception path 22 in order to releasing the locked state of the initial locking member 34 and the latch receiving portion 23. In this manner, a state is defined in which the lever 30 at the home position is allowed to rotate. The lever 30 is then turned to the connection position by pressing the control portion 32 of the lever 30, and the first connector 10 is driven to the connector assembly portion 43 by the cam action of the cam pin. 46 coupled in the cam groove 33 so that the first connector 10 is further assembled in the receptacle 44 (see Figure 9). The upper side of the first connector 10 tends to move earlier than the lower side to tilt the first connector 10 forward. However, guide ribs 48 and guide grooves 15 contact in the vertical direction to limit inclination. Thus, the first connector 10 moves forward without being inclined in the receptacle 44, i.e., while being maintained in a correct posture in which the first terminal connectors 12 are arranged substantially parallel to the Second terminal connectors 42. When the first connector 10 reaches a correct connection position with respect to the receptacle 44, the short-circuit release portions 45 release the short-circuited state between the first terminal connectors 12. specific, and the respective first and second terminal connectors 12 and 42 are electrically connected. In this way, the assembly operation of the first connector 5 in a first connector assembly portion 43 of the second connector 40 is completed. An operation of connecting all the first connectors 10 to the second connector 40 is completed by performing such an assembly operation for three first connectors 10. The lever connector of this embodiment is configured such that the first connector 10 is connected to the second connector 40 or separated therefrom by activating the lever 30 on the first connector 10. Thus, the first connector 10 is assembled in the receptacle 44 on the second connector 40. The first housing 11 of the first connector 10 includes the terminal receiving portion 13 for receiving the first terminal connectors 12 and the lever receiving portion 14 for receiving the lever 30. The guide grooves 15 are arranged between the terminal receiving portion 13 and the lever receiving portion 14 and the guide ribs 48 extending on the inner peripheral surface of the receptacle 44 are assembled vertically. in the guide grooves 15.
    [0014] According to this configuration, the guide ribs 48 and the guide grooves 15 come into vertical contact at positions close to the lever 30, i.e. at positions in which the first connector 10 tends to tilt towards the front by the activation of the lever 30. Therefore, the inclination of the first connector 10 is prevented when the first connector 10 is assembled in the receptacle 44 of the second connector 40. The first terminal connectors 12 are connected to the parts end of the son W, the son W are extracted from the back of the prèiiei * housing 11, the cover wire 50 for covering the parts extracted son W is slid in the lateral direction to be mounted on the rear surface of the first housing 11, and the guide ribs 20 for guiding a sliding movement of the wire cover 50 are arranged within the guide groove forming region 30 in the direction Thus, the first connector 10 can be made compact in comparison to the case in which the guide grooves 15 and the guide ribs 20 are arranged at vertically offset positions. The lightening portion 16 is formed on the portion of the first housing 11 inwardly of the guide grooves 15. According to this configuration, the portion of the first housing 11 towards the inside of the guide grooves 15 is not thick and cavities are not formed.
    [0015] In addition, the lightening portion 16 includes the reinforcing walls 24. Therefore, it is possible to improve the resistance of the first housing 11 while preventing the formation of cavities. The terminal receiving chambers 13R for individually receiving the first terminal connectors 12 are arranged side-by-side in the terminal direction of the terminal receiving portion 13 and the reinforcing walls 24 are arranged continuously upwardly from separation walls between the terminal receiving chambers 13R. According to this configuration, the resistance of the first housing 11 can be increased compared to the case in which the reinforcing walls 24 are offset with respect to the partition walls. The invention is not limited to the embodiment described and shown above. For example, the following embodiments are also within the scope of the invention. The connector assembly described above is configured such that a plurality of first connectors 10 are connected to the second connector 40. However, there is no limitation thereto and the invention can also be applied, for example, to to connect first and second connectors one by one. Although the second connector 40 is a printed circuit connector in the previous embodiment, there is no limitation thereto and the invention can also be applied to cases in which a second connector is not a printed circuit connector.
