    CONNECTOR
    REFERENCE TO RELEVANT PATENT APPLICATIONS This Patent Application is based on the Japanese Patent Application (No. 2016-158046) filed on August 10, 2016 and the content of which is incorporated herein by reference.
    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
    1. Field of the Invention
    The present invention relates to a connector.
    2. Description of the Prior Art
    When a power connector which acts as a counterpart connector is fitted inside a charging connector which is assembled at the body of a vehicle, a battery which is mounted in the vehicle, such as an electric vehicle or a rechargeable hybrid electric vehicle is charged.
    0 A connector is known as such a charging connector.
    According to the connector, an electric cable is placed on a thermistor so that the thermistor and the electric cable can be fixed firmly to each other. The temperature of the electric cable is measured by means of a thermistor so as to monitor the presence / absence of an overcurrent
    5 or similar which is applied during charging (see for example the document
    S63186 FR HA-P
    JP-A-2015-8099). In addition, another connector is known as such a charging connector. According to this other connector, the temperature of a terminal is measured by means of a thermistor through an electrically insulating and thermally conductive material (for example, see document JP-A-2002-352635).
    According to the connector which is described in the document JP-A-2015-8099, the temperature of the electric cable can be measured precisely. However, in a position in which it is separated from a terminal, the thermistor is arranged along the electrical cable. For this reason, it is difficult to measure the temperature of the terminal precisely. In addition, according to the connector which is described in the document JP-A-2002-352635, the temperature of the terminal is measured by means of the thermistor through the electrically insulating and thermally conductive material. For this reason, it is difficult to measure the temperature of the terminal quickly when there is a sudden change in temperature.
    SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
    The present invention has been developed in consideration of
    0 circumstances which have been mentioned above. An object of the present invention is to provide a connector within which the temperature of a terminal can be measured precisely even when there is a sudden change in temperature.
    S63186 FR HA-P
    In order to achieve the object which was mentioned above, the connector according to the present invention is characterized by the configurations (1) to (4) which follow.
    (1) A connector including:
    a terminal which is configured to be connected to an electric cable;
    a housing which is configured to contain the terminal; a terminal support which is configured to be connected to the housing, and which has a housing space part which is configured to contain a connection section between the terminal and an end part of the electric cable;
    a sensor housing part which is provided in the terminal support in a position adjacent to the housing space part; and a temperature sensor which is configured to be contained and supported in the sensor housing portion, wherein the temperature sensor has an end face which is located on a front side in a mounting direction of the support terminal inside the housing; and
    0 in which the end face of the temperature sensor is exposed from the sensor housing part and is brought into direct abutment against the terminal.
    (2) The connector according to the configuration (1) which has been mentioned above, connector according to which a pressure rib which is configured so
    5 to exert pressure on the temperature sensor which is contained in the
    S63186 EN HA-P sensor housing part in the direction of the housing space part is projecting on, from among internal wall faces which form the sensor housing part, at least one internal wall face which is opposite the accommodation space part except for an inner wall which is adjacent to the accommodation space part.
    (3) The connector according to configuration (1) or (2), which configurations have been mentioned above, connector according to which a layer of air is provided around the temperature sensor with the exception of the side of part d housing space in the sensor housing part.
    (4) The connector according to any one of the configurations (1) to (3) which have been mentioned above, connector according to which a pressure piece which is configured so as to exert pressure on the temperature sensor in the mounting direction is provided on a rear side of the sensor housing part in the mounting direction.
    (5) The connector according to any of the configurations (1) to (4) which have been mentioned above, connector according to which the end face of the
    0 temperature sensor protrudes from an end portion of the sensor housing portion in the mounting direction.
    S63186 FR HA-P
    According to the connector which has the configuration (1) which was mentioned above, the temperature of the terminal can be measured directly by means of the temperature sensor, one end face of which is in the direction of mounting of the terminal support at the inside the housing has been brought into abutment against the terminal. Therefore, the temperature of the terminal can be measured while an influence generated by an external factor such as the ambient temperature is minimized. Therefore, the temperature of the terminal can be precisely measured with an excellent sensitivity / response even in the case of a sudden variation in the temperature of the terminal.
    According to the connector which has the configuration (2) which has been mentioned above, the temperature sensor which is contained in the sensor housing part is pressed by the pressure rib against the inner wall face on the side of the part of housing space which houses an end part of the terminal to which the electric cable is connected. Thus, the temperature sensor which is contained in the sensor housing part can be arranged as close as possible to the side of the terminal. Therefore, the terminal temperature can be measured more precisely.
    According to the connector which presents the configuration (3) which has been
    0 mentioned above, due to a thermal insulation effect which is generated by the air layer, the heat which is transmitted from the terminal to the temperature sensor can be prevented in a very high degree from being released outside. Therefore, the terminal temperature can be measured more precisely.
    S63186 FR HA-P
    According to the connector which has the configuration (4) which was mentioned above, the temperature sensor is pressed in the mounting direction by an elastic repulsive force of the pressure piece. Therefore, the end face of the temperature sensor on the front side in the mounting direction is pushed against the terminal. Thus, close / tight contact between the temperature sensor and the terminal can be improved so that the temperature of the terminal can be more accurately measured.
    According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a connector according to which the temperature of a terminal can be measured precisely even when there is a sudden change in temperature.
    The present invention has been described above briefly. Following the reading of an embodiment (hereinafter called “embodiment”) mentioned below concerning the implementation of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings, details of the invention may be made clearer.

    DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS PRESENTED AT
    TITLE OF EXAMPLES
    An embodiment of the present invention will be described below by way of example with reference to the drawings.
    Fig. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a connector 10 according to the embodiment. Fig. 2 is a view in horizontal section of the connector 10 according to the embodiment.
    S63186 FR HA-P
    As shown in Fig. 1 and in FIG. 2, the connector 10 in accordance with the embodiment of the invention is provided with a housing / housing means 20, charging terminals (terminals) 40, a capacity / terminal support 60, sensors temperature 70 and rear supports 80.
    The connector 10 is a charge input connector which is assembled on the vehicle body of a vehicle on which a battery is mounted, such as an electric vehicle (EV) or a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV). . When the vehicle battery is charged, a power connector on a power device (which is not shown) is fitted inside the connector 10. In the state in which the power connector is fitted inside the connector 10, electrical power / energy is supplied from the supply device towards the side of the vehicle so that the battery can be charged.
    The housing 20 is formed from an insulating synthetic resin. The housing 20 thus formed is similarly shaped to a cylinder equipped with a bottom which has a bottom plate portion 21 on its rear end side. A fixing flange 23 which has insertion holes 22 is formed
    0 on an outer circumference of the cylinder fitted with a bottom. The housing 20 is fitted from the side of the bottom plate portion 21 inside a tie hole which is formed in a vehicle body panel which constitutes the vehicle body. Bolts are inserted through the insertion holes 22 of the mounting flange 23 so that they are
    S63186 FR HA-P screwed inside tapped holes in the vehicle body panel. Thus, the housing 20 is linked and fixed to the vehicle body panel.
    The housing 20 has a casing recess 25 which opens on its front end side. A housing of the power connector is fitted inside the casing recess 25. The housing 20 has a cap which is coupled to a part of an edge part of the casing recess 25 by means of a hinge part 26. The cap 27 is pivoted on the hinge part 26. Thus, the casing recess 25 is opened / closed by means of the cap 27
    A locking mechanism 30 for locking a locking pawl 27a which is formed at an edge portion of the cap 27 is provided in a position opposite to the hinge portion 26 at an edge portion of the end front of the housing 20. Consequently, at the level of the cap 27, the locking pawl 27a can be blocked by means of the locking mechanism 30. Thus, when the locking pawl 27a of the cap 27 is blocked by means of the locking mechanism 30 , the housing 20 is kept in a closed state by means of the cap 27.
    0 Parts of a pair of terminal housing cylinder parts which protrude inside the socket recess 25 are formed in the bottom plate part 21 of the housing 20. In addition, parts d 'a pair of terminal housing parts (not shown) are formed in upper and lower positions between the cylinder parts of
    S63186 EN HA-P terminal housing 28 in the bottom plate part 21 of the housing 20.
    Each of the charging stations 40 is a charging station through / through which a charging current is caused to flow.
    For example, the charging stations 40 are formed from an electrically conductive metal material such as copper or a copper alloy etc. The charging terminals 40 are fitted inside the terminal housing cylinder parts 28 from the rear side of the housing 20 so that they are contained in parallel in the housing 20 in a horizontal plane.
    Each of the charging terminals 40 has a front end side terminal connection portion 41, a rear end side cable connection portion 42 and a flange portion 43. The flange portion 43 protrudes from an external circumference of the charging terminal 40 so that it extends circumferentially between the terminal connection part 41 and the cable connection part 42.
    Each of the terminal connection parts 41 of the charging terminals 40 is formed according to a cylinder which has a casing hole 45. A
    0 plurality of slots 41a each extending in an axis direction are formed in the terminal connection portion 41 such that the terminal connection portion 41 is divided into a plurality of sections circumferentially. The charging terminals of the power connector which is a counterpart connector are nested inside the casing holes
    5 45 of the terminal connection parts 41. Thus, the charging terminals 40 are
    S63186 FR HA-P electrically connected to the charging terminals of the power connector which are fitted inside the socket holes 45.
    Each of the cable connection portions 42 of the charging terminals 40 has a connection hole 47. In addition, in the cable connection portion 42 of the charging terminal 40, a groove portion 44 which extends circumferentially is formed in a position which is adjacent to the flange / sole part 43. An O-ring 48 is mounted on the groove part 44.
    At the charging terminals 40, power cables 51 are connected to the cable connection parts 42. The power cables 51 are electric cables which are connected to the vehicle battery and through which a large current is brought to circulate. Each of the power cables 51 has a conductor 51a which is exposed from a coating 51b at an end portion of the power cable 51. The conductors 51a which are exposed at the end portions of the cables d power 51 are inserted inside the connection holes 47 which are formed in the cable connection parts 42 of the charging terminals 40 so that the conductors 51a can be matted or caulked on
    0 the connection holes 47. Consequently, the power cables 51 are electrically connected to the charging terminals 40. By the way, the structure for connecting the power cables 51 to the charging terminals 40 is not limited to fixing by matting or caulking. There can of course be various connection structures known from the public domain
    5 which can be used as an alternative.
    S63186 FR HA-P
    The terminal support 60 is formed from an insulating synthetic resin. The terminal support 60 comprises a pair of support parts 61 which are formed according to cylinders which cover connection sites respectively between the charging terminals 40 and the power cables 51. The connection sites between the charging terminals 40 and the end portions of the power cables 51 are contained in housing space portions 62 which are formed in the support portions 61. The power cables 51 are routed rearward from the portions of housing space 62 of the support parts 61. Under these circumstances, open front ends of the terminal support 60 abut against the flange / sole parts 43 of the load terminals 40. Thus, the load terminals 40 according to which the cable connection parts 42 are inserted into the housing space parts 62 are positioned.
    A rubber plug 52 and a rubber plug holder fixing accessory member 53 are mounted in advance on each of the power cables 51 which are routed out of the housing space parts 62 of the parts support 61. The rubber plugs 52 are fitted inside the housing space parts 62
    0 support parts 61 and further, the rubber plug support attachment accessory parts 53 are fixed to end parts of the support parts 61. Thus, the support parts 61 from which the cables feed 51 are routed are made watertight by means of the rubber plugs 52. By the way, when a
    5 watertightness at the terminal support 60 is not necessary, the
    S63186 FR HA-P rubber stoppers 52 which are fitted inside the housing space parts 62 of the support parts 61 can be removed.
    Figs. 3A and 3B are views which show the terminal support 5 60 in which temperature sensors 70 are contained. Fig. 3A is a perspective view of the terminal support 60. FIG. 3B is a front view of the terminal support 60. FIG. 4 is an enlarged horizontal sectional view of a part of the connector 10 at which the temperature sensors 70 are arranged.
    As shown in Figs. 3A and 3B and in FIG. 4, the terminal support 60 has sensor housing parts 65 in the support parts 61, respectively. The temperature sensors 70 are respectively contained within the sensor housing parts 65. The sensor housing parts 65 are disposed between the support parts 61. In a state in which the terminal support 60 is mounted on the inside the housing 20, the sensor housing parts 65 are arranged in positions in which they face the flange / sole parts 43 of the charging terminals 40.
    0 Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the temperature sensors 70.
    As shown in Fig. 5, each of the temperature sensors which are contained in the sensor housing portions 65 is, for example, a thermistor which has a thermistor element for detecting the temperature. The temperature sensor 70 is formed so
    5 analogous to a cuboid and inside of it, the thermistor element is
    S63186 FR HA-P coated with resin. A detection line 71 which is connected to the thermistor element is output from a rear end of the temperature sensor 70.
    Figs. 6A and 6B are views which represent the terminal support 60 inside which the temperature sensors 70 are not yet contained. Fig. 6A is a perspective view of the terminal support 60. FIG. 6B is a front view of the terminal support 60. FIG. 7 is a front view of one of the sensor housing parts 65 of the terminal support 60 inside which the temperature sensors 70 are not yet contained.
    As shown in Figs. 6A and 6B as well as in FIG. 7, each of the sensor housing parts 65 includes a hole part which is shaped, in section, similar to a rectangle and which opens out on the front side. The sensor housing portion 65 is formed so as to be adjacent to the housing space portion 62. An end portion of the charging terminal 40 to which the power cable 51 is connected is contained in the interior of the housing space portion 62. The sensor housing portion 65 has an inner wall face 65a on the side of
    0 the housing space portion 62 of the support portion 61, an inner wall face 65b which faces the inner wall face 65a and two inner wall faces 65c on opposite end sides of the wall faces internal 65a and 65b. In the sensor housing part 65, a plurality of pressure ribs 66 each of which extends in the axis direction are provided in
    5 protuberance on all the inner wall faces 65b and 65c with the exception of the
    S63186 EN HA-P inner wall face 65a which is located on the side of the housing space part 62 of the support part 61. A space part which is surrounded by the internal wall face 65a and by the pressure ribs 66 in the sensor housing part 65 is formed so as to have a dimension slightly smaller than the dimension of the cross-sectional shape of the temperature sensor 70.
    In addition, a rear end side of the sensor housing portion 65 is closed by a rear wall 67. A pressing piece 68 which projects forward is formed on the rear wall 67. In addition, a hole electrical cable insertion 69 which communicates with the outside is formed in the rear wall 67.
    The temperature sensor 70 is contained within the sensor housing portion 65 in the following manner. That is, first, the detection line 71 which is routed out from the temperature sensor 70 is inserted from the open front side of the sensor housing portion 65. The detection line 71 is inserted inside the electrical cable insertion hole 69 of the rear wall 67 and is routed in
    0 exit from the rear side. At the same time, the temperature sensor 70 is inserted from its rear end side inside the sensor housing part 65 so that it is contained inside the sensor housing part 65.
    S63186 FR HA-P
    Fig. 8 is a front view of the sensor housing part 65 of the terminal support 60 inside which the temperature sensor 70 is contained.
    As shown in Fig. 8, when the temperature sensor 70 5 is contained inside the sensor housing part 65, the pressure ribs 66 which are pressed by an outer circumferential face of the temperature sensor 70 are elastically deformed. Therefore, by means of the elastic force of the pressure ribs 66 on the inner wall face 65b, the temperature sensor 70 is pressed against the inner wall face 65a on the side of the housing space portion 62 which accommodates the charging terminal 40. At the same time, the temperature sensor 70 is held from the opposite sides by means of the pressure ribs 66 on the inner wall faces 65c. Therefore, the temperature sensor 70 is firmly held by means of the pressure ribs 66 inside the sensor housing part 65. In addition, when the temperature sensor 70 is contained inside the sensor part sensor housing 65, an air layer S is formed between all the inner wall faces 65b and 65c with the exception of the inner wall face 65a and the temperature sensor 70 by means of the pressure ribs 66. In addition , a rear end face 70b of the sensor
    0 temperature 70 abuts against the pressure piece 68 which is formed on the rear wall 67. In this state, a front end face (an end face) 70a of the temperature sensor 70 protrudes slightly from the sensor housing part 65.
    S63186 FR HA-P
    Thus, the terminal support 60 inside which the temperature sensors 70 are contained in the sensor housing parts 65 is mounted inside the housing 20 from the rear side. When the terminal support 60 is mounted inside the housing 20, the temperature sensors 70 which protrude slightly from the sensor housing parts 65 abut against the flange parts 43 of the charging terminals 40 at their front end faces 70a so that they are pushed inside the sensor housing part 65 while they elastically deform the pressure pieces 68. Thus, the front end faces 70a of the sensors temperature 70 are pushed against the collar portions 43 of the charging terminals 40 due to an elastic force of the elastically deformed pressure pieces 68 (see FIG. 4).
    Incidentally, in accordance with another configuration, the temperature sensors 70 can be contained and positioned without elastically deforming the pressure pieces 68 so that the front end faces 70a of the temperature sensors 70 can come to be flush with front end faces of sensor housing portions 65.
    The rear supports 80 are mounted in advance on lines of
    0 signal 81. Signal lines 81 are electrical cables which are connected to signal lines of the counterpart connector so as to transmit / receive signals and so as to exchange communications between the power supply device and the vehicle. Signal terminals (not shown) are connected by crimping to end portions of the
    5 signal lines 81. The signal terminals of signal lines 81 are inserted
    S63186 EN HA-P inside the terminal housing parts of the housing 20. The rear supports 80 are fitted and mounted on the terminal housing parts in which the signal terminals have been inserted. Thus, the signal terminals are contained in the terminal housing portions of the housing 20, and the signal lines 81 are routed backward from the housing 20. Signal terminals which are crimp connected to parts of end of the signal lines of the power connector which acts as a counterpart connector are connected to the signal terminals which are contained in the terminal housing parts of the housing 20. Thus, the signal lines 81 of the connector 10 and the signal lines of the counterpart connector are connected to each other in an electrical conduction manner, respectively, so that transmission / reception of signals or exchange of communications can be performed.
    When the power connector is fitted inside the connector 10 which is thus configured so as to charge the vehicle battery in this way, temperatures of the charging stations 40 can be detected by the temperature sensors 70. By means of the power supply device etc., a state of charge can be monitored on the basis of the
    0 temperatures of the charging stations 40 which are measured by means of the temperature sensors 70.
    According to the connector 10 according to the embodiment as described above, the temperatures of the charging stations can be
    5 measured directly by means of temperature sensors 70, the
    S63186 EN HA-P front end faces 70a in a mounting direction of the terminal support 60 inside the housing 20 have been brought into abutment against the flange parts 43 of the charging terminals 40. Thus, it is possible to measure the temperatures of the charging stations 40 while minimizing the influence generated by an external factor such as ambient temperature, etc. Consequently, it is possible to measure the temperatures of the charging stations 40 precisely with excellent reactivity even in the case of a sudden variation in the temperatures of the charging stations 40.
    Therefore, when the power connector is fitted inside the connector 10 for the purpose of thus charging the vehicle battery, the state of charge can be precisely monitored based on the temperatures of the charging stations. 40 which are measured by means of the temperature sensors 70.
    Furthermore, according to the connector 10 according to the embodiment, the temperature sensors 70 which are contained inside the sensor housing parts 65 are pressed by the pressure ribs 66 against the inner wall faces 65a on the sides parts of space from
    0 housing 62 which houses the end parts of the charging terminals 40 to which the power cables 51 are connected. Thus, the temperature sensors 70 which are contained inside the sensor housing parts 65 can be arranged as close as possible to the sides of the charging stations 40. Therefore, the temperatures of the charging stations 40
    5 can be measured more precisely.
    S63186 FR HA-P
    Furthermore, according to the connector 10 according to the embodiment, due to a thermal insulation effect which is generated by the layers of air S which are formed around the temperature sensors 70 with the exception of the sides of the parts. of housing space 62, the heat which is transmitted from the charging terminals 40 to the temperature sensors 70 can be prevented to a high degree from being released to the outside. Thus, the temperatures of the charging stations 40 can be measured more precisely.
    Furthermore, according to the connector 10 according to the embodiment, the temperature sensors 70 are pressed in the mounting direction by elastic repulsion forces of the pressure pieces 68 which are formed on the rear walls 67 on the rear side in the mounting direction in the sensor housing portions 65. Therefore, the front end faces 70a on the front side in the mounting direction are pushed against the flange portions 43 of the charging terminals 40. Thus, a firm contact between the temperature sensors 70 and the charging stations 40 can be improved so that the temperatures of the charging stations 40
    0 can be measured more precisely.
    In addition, the case where the connector 10 is used as a charge input connector which is assembled on the vehicle body of a vehicle which is equipped with a battery has been described according to the mode of
    5 achievement which was mentioned above. However, the connector
    S63186 EN HA-P according to the present invention is not limited to this case but it can be used as a power output connector to supply electrical power to a device outside a vehicle from a vehicle battery.
    By the way, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment which was mentioned above. Modifications, improvements, etc. can be made to the present invention, judiciously and advantageously. What is more, materials, shapes, dimensions, numbers, layout sites, etc. respective components according to the embodiment which was mentioned above are not limited. Any material, any shape, any size, any number, any layout site, etc. can be used as long as the object of the present invention can be achieved.
