    [0001] FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a connector with a slider and to a connector assembly structure. In the prior art, it is conventionally known a semi-as-sembled state detection connector which detects, by an activation of a slider preloaded elastically on one of the connectors, a semi-assembled state relative to to the other connector. Fig. 8 shows the conventional semi-assembled state sensing connector disclosed in JP 2001-326032 A. The semi-assembled state sensing connector 100 in JP 2001-326032 A includes a pair of a male connector 200 and a female connector 300 arranged so that they can be assembled one on the other, and a slider 400 arranged on the male connector 200 preloaded to the female connector 300 such that the slider 400 can slide in the direction assembly and separation of connectors. The slide 400 has an abutment projection 250 which abuts against the female connector 300, a stop arm 240 having at its leading end portion the abutment projection 250, a first inclined guide portion 270 and a second inclined guide portion 280 for bending a later described locking arm 380 of the male connector 200. The male connector 200 has a locking projection 290 which is latched to the female connector 300, the locking arm 380 having, at its head end portion, the locking projection 290, and a guide projection 360 for bending the stop arm 240 and for pushing up the stopper projection 250. The female connector 300 has a projection of stop 50 intended to abut against the abutment projection 250 of the slide 400, and a locking projection 20 for locking the locking projection. 290 of the male connector 200. According to the semi-assembled state-sensing connector 100 in JP 2001326032 A, if the two connectors 200 and 300 are assembled one on the other, the abutment projection 50 of the female connector 300 grows. the abutment projection 250 of the slider 400 and the slider 400 retracts.

The abutment projection 250 of the slider 400 slides along the guide projection 360 of the male connector 200. As a result, the abutment arm 240 is bent upwards, and the abutment between the abutment projection 250 and the abutment protrusion 50 of the female connector 300 is released. If the stop between the abutment projections 50 and 250 is released, the slider 400 is pushed forward by a preload force. At this time, the abutment projection 250 of the slider 400 moves past the abutment projection 50 of the female connector 300 and moves forward. If the second inclined guide portion 280 moves unitarily forward with the slider 400, the stop between the locking projection 290 of the locking arm 380 and the second inclined guide portion 280 is released, the locking arm 380 is resiliently biased in the horizontal direction, and the locking projection 290 is coupled to the locking projection 20 of the female connector 300. However, on the semiautomated state detection connector 100 described in JP 2001- 326032 A, to release the abutment between the two abutment protrusions 50 and 250, it is necessary that the male connector 200 includes the guide projection 360 which bends the abutment arm 240.

The ram arm 33 is of a cantilevered structure formed at the head end portion with a free end. The slide arm 33 is unitarily arranged with the wide portion 31. A slide stop portion (first stop portion) 33a is provided on a head end portion of the slide arm 33, and the slide arm slide 33 has a certain flexibility. When the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 are assembled together, an abutment surface 33b of the slide abutment portion 33a is opposed and abuts against a female connector abutment portion (second stop portion) 73 described later. The abutment surface 33b tilts upwardly as the abutment surface 33b approaches a leading end portion of the slider arm 33. In a state in which the slider 3 is received on the male connector 1 and The connector locking surface 61a of the connector locking portion 61 and the slider locking surface 36a of the slider 3 are locked to one another, the slider abutment portion (first abutment portion) 33a the slide arm 33 is placed closer to the female connector 2 in the assembly direction D than the male connector locking portion 46 of the locking arm 44. When the slide 3 is pushed into the slide receiving portion 6 deeper (near the male connector 1 in the assembly direction D), the slider abutment portion (first abutment portion) 33a is placed closer to the female connector 2 in the assembly direction. ge D that the male connector locking portion 46.
    [0008] The slider pressure portion 38 is placed at a position slightly closer to the male connector 1 than one side of the port 35 on the male connector side 1 in the assembly direction D (root of the slider arm 33). ). The slider pressure portion 38 is a protruding member which extends from a lower surface of the slider 3. The slider pressure portion 38 is positioned so that it is located directly above the male connector locking portion 46 when the male connector 1 and the female connector 3034575 2 are assembled one on the other. The slide pressure portion 38 serves to press the male connector locking portion 46 from above so that the locked state between the male connector locking portion 46 and the female connector locking portion 74 is not released when the slide pressure portion 38 is placed in the assembled state. When the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 are assembled one on the other, the sliding surfaces of the inclined parts 34 and 34 slide on the sliding parts 45A and 45A of the locking arm 44, and the inclined parts 34 and 34 bend the locking arm 44 upwards (towards the slide 3).
    [0009] Orifices 39 and 39 are formed on both sides of the wide portion 31 in the transverse direction of the orifice 35. The inclined portions 34 and 34 are supported by support walls 39a and 39a which are suspended from internal edges of the orifices 39 and 39 in the transverse direction. The inclined portions 34 and 34 are arranged on both sides of the slide arm 33 in the transverse direction of the wide portion 31, and are placed closer to the male connector 1 in the assembly direction D than the stop portion of slide 33a. The inclined portions 34 and 34 are located at higher (upward) positions at the female connector lock portion 74 when the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 are assembled to one another. The inclined portions 34 and 34 incline upwardly as they approach the female connector 2 in the assembly direction D. A substantially rectangular orifice 36 in which the connector locking portion 61 is placed is formed on a substantially central portion of the narrow portion 32. The orifice 36 extends in the assembly direction D. The slider 3 is received in the slider receiving portion 6 so that the connector locking portion 61 is placed in the orifice 36. An inner edge of the orifice 36 on the side of the male connector 1 in the assembly direction D forms the slide locking surface 36a which is locked on the connector locking surface 61a of the connector locking portion 61. The slide locking surface 36a of the slider 3 is locked to the connector locking surface 61a. As a function of this, the slider 3 remains in the slider receiving portion 6 without separating from the opening of the male connector 1 on the side of the female connector 2 in the assembly direction D. The slider 3 is inserted in the slider receiving portion 6 from the opening of the outer housing 5 on the side of the female connector 2 so that the narrow portion 32 of the slider 3 is first inserted into the receiving portion of the A thick portion of the wide portion 31 forms resilient abutment surfaces 37 and 37. The resilient abutment surfaces 37 and 37 abut against the compression springs 63 and 63 in the slipper receiving portion 6. The female connector 2 comprises a female terminal 71 corresponding to a male terminal of the male connector 1 and a female housing 7. A side of the female housing 7 on the side of the male connector 1 in the assembly direction D is open. A cross-section of the female housing 7 intersecting the right-angle assembly direction D is made of a substantially rectangular shape. The female housing 7 enters the male connector 1 so that the inner housing 4 is received in the female housing 7 when the female housing 7 is assembled on the male connector 1. An upper surface 72 of an upper wall of the female housing 7 comprises a protrudingly projecting female connector abutment portion 73 which abuts against the slide abutment portion 33a, and the female connector locking portion 74 which is locked to the male connector locking portion 46. The female connector abutment portion 73 and the female connector locking portion 74 are arranged side by side on the same line parallel to the assembly direction D. The female connector locking portion 74 is arranged closer to the male connector 1 in the assembly direction D as the female connector stop portion 73. The female connector lock portion 74 tilts upwardly as it approaches the female connector 2 in the assembly direction D. The female connector stop portion 73 extends further than the female connector lock portion 74. When the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 are assembled one on the other, the female terminal 71 is assembled and inserted into the terminal receiving chamber 42, and if the assembly operation is completed, the female terminal 71 and the male terminal are electrically connected to each other.
    [0010] Next, an example of the operation of the connector with a slider 1B and the assembly operation of the connector assembly structure 1A will be described using FIGS. 4 to 7. Before starting the assembly operation , the slider 3 is received in the slider receiving portion 6 of the male connector 1 (connector with slider 1B). The slider 3 is received in the slider receiving portion 6 such that the connector locking surface 61a and the slider locking surface 36a are locked to one another. When the assembly operation is started, the female housing 7 of the female connector 2 begins to enter the male connector 1 (connector with slider 1B) as shown in FIG. 4 so that the inner housing 4 of the male connector 1 is received in the female housing 7 of the female connector 2, and the female connector abutment portion 73 of the female connector 2 and the slider abutment portion 33a of the slider 3 abut against each other. If the assembly operation continues, the female connector 2 pushes the slider 3 towards a deep side of the slider receiving portion 6 (towards the male connector 1 in the assembly direction D), this is that is, in the direction of the input of the female connector 2 all now the stop state. The slider 3 is pushed towards the deep side of the slider receiving portion 6 which compresses the compression springs 63 and 63.
    [0011] If the assembly operation continues further, a head end portion of the slider 3 is pushed back from the slider receiving portion 6, and the slider 3 extends from the male connector 1 (see FIG. ). At this time, as shown in FIG. 5, the sliding portions 45A and 45A of the arm portions 45 and 45 slide along the inclined surfaces of the inclined portions 34 and 34 of the slider 3, and the locking arm 44 begins. to move beyond the inclined portions 34 and 34. If the locking arm 44 moves beyond the inclined portions 34 and 34, the locking arm 44 begins to bend upward (toward the slider 3) . At this time, the male connector lock portion 46 begins to pass over the female connector lock portion 74.
    [0012] If the assembly operation continues, the leading end portion of the slider 3 further extends from the male connector 1 as shown in Fig. 6. The locking arm 44 is further flexed toward the by the inclined portions 34 and 34. The male connector locking portion 46 arranged on the head end portion of the locking arm 44 is located at a position higher than the female connector locking portion 74 which enters on the deep side of the male connector 1, the male connector locking portion 46 passes over the female connector locking portion 74, and is placed closer to the female connector 2 in the assembly direction D than the part of female connector lock 74.
    [0013] At this time, the male connector locking portion 46 abuts against a lower surface of the slide arm 33 (see FIG. 6). The latch arm 44 remains upwardly bent while maintaining a state in which the male connector locking portion 46 abuts the slide arm 33, and the latch arm 44 brings the slide arm 33 toward the latch arm 33. high. Depending on this, the stop between the slide abutment portion 33a and the female connector abutment portion 73 is released. If the stop is released, the slider 3 is pushed towards the female connector 2 in the assembly direction D by repulsive forces of the compression springs 63 and 63 (see Figure 7).
    [0014] At this time, the inclined portions 34 and 34 are also pushed towards the female connector 2 in the assembly direction D, and a state of sliding contact between the sliding parts 45A and 45A and the inclined portions 34 and 34 is also released. . Therefore, the latch arm 44 is, at the same time, resiliently biased back to its original shape, and the male connector locking portion 46 is locked to the female connector locking portion 74 (see FIG. 7). The slider 3 is pushed back to its initial position in which the connector locking surface 61a and the slider locking surface 36a are locked to one another, and the slider 3 remains in the receiving portion. 6. In function of this, the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 are assembled one on the other, and the male terminal 5 and the female terminal 71 (see Figure 7) are electrically connected to each other. 'other. If the slider 3 is pushed back onto the male connector 1, the slider pressure portion 38 is placed directly above the male connector locking portion 46. If the assembly operation is stopped in a state in which the The male connector lock portion 46 and the female connector lock portion 74 are not interlocked in FIGS. 5 and 6, i.e., in a semi-as-sembled state. , the slider 3 is preloaded by the repulsion forces of the compression springs 63 and 63, and the female connector 2 (or even 1) is pushed towards the female connector 2 in the assembly direction D, that is ie, in a direction in which the assembled state is released. According to this configuration, the connector assembly structure 1A and the connector with a slider 1B according to the embodiment can easily detect the semiautomatic state. According to the connector assembly structure 1A and the connector with a slider 1B of the embodiment, the male connector locking portion 46 and the female connector locking portion 74 are assembled one on the other. Therefore, the slider 3 has the inclined portions 34 and 34 to bend the locking arm 44 upward (towards the slider 3). When the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 are assembled one on the other and the locking arm 44 moves past the inclined portions 34 and 34 and is bent, the locking arm 44 abuts against the slide arm 33, the locking arm 44 pushes the slide arm 33, and the stop between the slide stopper portion 33a and the female connector stopper portion 73 is released. According to such a configuration, the operation of locking the male connector locking portion 46 and the female connector locking portion 74 to one another, i.e., the operation for To do so, the locking arm 44 can be used to release the slide abutment portion 33a and the female connector abutment portion 73. Therefore, it is unnecessary to provide an element for releasing the abutment. between the slider abutment portion 33a and the female connector abutment portion 73, and the size of the connector 5 may be reduced. The connector assembly structure 1A and the connector with a slider 1B of the embodiment are formed such that in an assembled state in which the connector locking surface 61a of the connector locking portion 61 and the slide lock 36a of slider 3 are locked to one another, slider abutment portion 33a which is the leading end portion of slider arm 33 is located closer to female connector 2 in the direction of assembly D that the male connector locking portion 46 of the locking arm 44. In this configuration, when the slider 3 is pushed towards the male connector 1 in the assembly direction D by the female connector 2, the part slider abutment 33a abuts against the male connector locking portion 46, and it is possible to reliably flex the slider arm 33 by flexing the According to the connector assembly structure 1A and the connector with a slider 1B of the embodiment, the female connector abutment portion 73 and the female connector locking portion 74 are arranged side by side. on the same line parallel to the assembly direction D, and the female connector abutment portion 73 extends further than the female connector locking portion 74. Depending on this, the slider arm 33 may be positioned at a higher position than the locking arm 44. Therefore, when the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 are assembled one on the other, the female connector locking portion 74 does not strike the stop portion 33A, and the female connector locking portion 74 may be arranged closer to the male connector 1 in the assembly direction D than the female connector abutment portion 73. In a state in which the slide abutment portion 33a and the female connector abutment portion 73 are still abutted against each other, the male connector locking portion 46 may be closer to the female connector 2 in the assembly direction D than the female connector locking portion 74. Therefore, the male connector locking portion 46 and the female connector locking portion 74 can be locked one of the two connectors. on the other when the stop between the slide abutment portion 33a and the female connector abutment portion 73 is released.

Depending on this, it is possible to lock the male connector locking portion 46 and the locking portion The connector connector 3034575 - 18 - is connected to each other simultaneously when the stopper is released. According to the connector assembly structure 1A and the connector with a slider 1B of the embodiment, if the assembly operation is completed and the slider 3 is pushed back into the male connector 1, the pressing portion 5 slide 38 is located directly above the male connector locking portion 46. According to this configuration, the male connector locking portion 46 does not readily emerge from the female connector locking portion 74, and the release of the Assembled state is less easy. The previously described embodiment only shows conventional embodiments of the present invention and the invention is not limited to the embodiment. That is, one skilled in the art can modify and implement the invention in a variety of ways over an extent that does not deviate from the main subject of the invention. Such modifications are contained within a category of the invention as long as the modifications include connector configurations with a slider and a connector assembly structure according to the invention. For example, although the locking arm 44 is substantially H-shaped in the embodiment, the invention is not limited only to this if the inclined portions 34 and 34 can bend the locking arm 44 with the some flexibility and, depending on this, the slide arm 33 can be raised. The abutment surface 33b of the slider abutment portion 33a is upwardly inclined as it approaches the end end portion of the slider arm 33 in the embodiment, but the invention is not only limited if the slider abutment portion 33a is opposed to and abuts against the female connector abutment portion 73. In the embodiment, the slide abutment portion 33a which is the leading end portion of the slide arm 33 of the slider 3 is located closer to the female connector 2 in the assembly direction D than the portion 30 locking the male connector 46 of the locking arm 44 in the assembled state, but the invention is not limited thereto. The invention is not limited to this only if the locking arm 44 can abut against the slide arm 33 and bend it by bending the locking arm 44 when, for example, the connector male 1 and the female connector 2 are assembled one on the other.
    [0016] The head end portion of the slider 3 is pushed from the slider receiving portion 6 and the slider 3 extends from the male connector 1 in the embodiment, the invention not being limited. to that. For example, the slider 3 may not be pushed from the slider receiving portion 6, and the slider 3 may be pushed towards the deep side (towards the male connector 1 in the assembly direction D) of the slide receiving part 6 on the male connector 1, that is to say, that the slider 3 can be pushed in the direction of the input of the female connector 2. The inclined portions 34 and 34 are arranged on the slider 3 and are placed closer to the male connector 1 in the assembly direction D than the slide abutment portion 33a in the embodiment, the invention not being particularly limited only to this if the locking arm 44 is bent and the male connector locking portion 46 can be locked to the female connector locking portion 74. For example, the inclined portions 34 and 34 can be arranged on the female connector 2 only if the 20 Inclined edges 34 and 34 are arranged at positions in which the assembled state with respect to the male connector 1 is not prevented. It is not necessary to form two inclined portions, and the number of inclined portions may be one, three or more. Although the compression springs are described as resilient members in the embodiment, the invention is not limited only to this if the slider 3 can be preloaded to the female connector 2 in the direction of Although the slider 3 is preloaded to the female connector 2 in the assembly direction D in the embodiment, the invention is not particularly limited thereto. The slider 3 may not be preloaded. The connector assembly structure IA may not have the elements
