Abstract

To provide a connector mating jig that enables safe and precise connector mating. [Solution] The connector mating jig according to this disclosure is characterized by having a load-applying block corresponding to the shape of the connector, a link mechanism connected to the load-applying block, and a spring mechanism connected to the link mechanism. The connector mating jig may also have a lever that is operated by hand, such that when the lever is squeezed the spring mechanism is compressed and when the lever is released the spring mechanism is extended.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a jig for connector fitting.

Background Art

[0002] Patent Document 1 below discloses a blade fixing mechanism of a blade surface grinding device for grinding the surface of a turbine blade, which includes a fitting jig having a groove into which the root portion of the turbine blade fits and an insertion port of the groove into which the root portion of the turbine blade is inserted, a groove cover capable of closing the insertion port, and groove cover biasing means for biasing the groove cover against the fitting jig. The blade fixing mechanism is characterized in that when the groove cover is pressed against the fitting jig, the insertion port is closed, and when the groove cover is separated from the fitting jig, the insertion port is opened.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] During the operation of fitting an FPC connector, in manual operation, the load cannot be managed, and the product may be damaged. In addition, due to the deflection of the substrate, a deviation occurs in the load application position, and the required load cannot be locally ensured, resulting in semi-fitting.

[0005] The present disclosure has been made to solve the above problems. The object of the present disclosure is to provide a jig for connector fitting that can perform the connector fitting operation safely and precisely.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] The jig for connector fitting according to the present disclosure includes...

Effects of the Invention

[0007] This disclosure makes it possible to provide a connector mating jig. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0008] [Figure 1] This is a cross-sectional view of a connector mating jig according to Embodiment 1. [Figure 2] This is a perspective view of a connector mating jig according to Embodiment 1. [Figure 3] This is a cross-sectional view showing a comparative example. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0009] Embodiments will be described below with reference to the drawings. Common or corresponding elements in each drawing are denoted by the same reference numerals, and their descriptions are simplified or omitted. The configurations shown in the embodiments below are examples of the technical ideas related to this disclosure and can be combined with other known technologies, or multiple technical ideas described in this disclosure can be combined. Furthermore, it is possible to omit or modify parts of the configuration without departing from the gist of this disclosure.

[0010] Embodiment 1. Figure 1 is a cross-sectional view of the connector mating jig 1 according to Embodiment 1. Figure 2 is a perspective view of the connector mating jig 1 according to Embodiment 1. As shown in these figures, the connector mating jig 1 of this embodiment comprises a load-applying block 2 corresponding to the shape of the connector 90, a link mechanism 3 connected to the load-applying block 2, and a spring mechanism 4 connected to the link mechanism 3. The connector 90 may be an FPC connector. The link mechanism 3 rotatably connects the load-applying block 2 and the spring mechanism 4.

[0011] The workpiece ECU91 has an ECU board92 inside. The ECU board92 is provided with a connector receiving portion93 for receiving a connector90.

[0012] Initially, the connector insertion direction D1 is perpendicular to the body of the ECU 91. However, the ECU base 92 tilts by approximately 2 degrees due to deflection. Correspondingly, the connector 90 also tilts by approximately 2 degrees. The connector mating jig 1, equipped with a link mechanism 3, can tilt the load-applying block 2. Therefore, it is possible to tilt the connector insertion direction by approximately 2 degrees to correspond to this tilt. That is, the insertion direction D2 after the connector 90 has tilted is tilted by approximately 2 degrees with respect to the direction perpendicular to the ECU 91. In this embodiment, it is possible to apply a load in accordance with the tilt of the connector 90. As a result, the connector 90 can be reliably mated.

[0013] As shown in Figure 2, the connector mating jig 1 of this embodiment has a lever 5 that is operated by hand. When the lever 5 is squeezed, the spring mechanism 4 is compressed and energy is stored. When the lever 5 is released, the spring mechanism 4 extends and the energy is released. In the connector mating jig 1, the force of the extending spring mechanism 4 causes the load load block 2 to press against the connector 90. This makes it possible to control the connector insertion load to an appropriate value, and reliably prevents product damage to the connector 90 or partial mating of the connector 90.

[0014] In contrast, with manual fitting, load control is impossible, leading to damage to the product. For example, if the applied load exceeds a certain standard (e.g., 80N), the product's performance cannot be guaranteed.

[0015] The connector mating jig 1 of this embodiment has a pressing portion 6 that contacts the back surface of the ECU 91. The connector 90, connector receiving portion 93, ECU base 92, and ECU 91 are pressed between the load-applying block 2 and the pressing portion 6 by the force of the spring mechanism 4.

[0016] FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a comparative example. The comparative example shown in FIG. 3 is an example that does not have a link mechanism between the load application block 94 and the spring mechanism 95. In this example, due to the deflection of the ECU board 92, a bias occurs at the load application position, and the required load (for example, 60 N) cannot be locally ensured, resulting in a semi-fitting state.

[0017] Also, in the present embodiment, a sensor may be used to detect "set to the workpiece" and "stroke to the fitting state".

[0018] In the present embodiment, the operation of fitting the FPC connector 90 can be performed safely and precisely. By establishing quality assurance for connector fitting, it is possible to reliably prevent the loss of battery function due to connector detachment or the like.

[0019] Also, in the present embodiment, it is possible to perform operations in a small space. In addition, the load applied to a person's finger is eliminated, and the risk of injury to the operator can be eliminated. It is possible to fit the connector with a constant load, and it is possible to reliably prevent damage to the product. Since the load is applied following the strain on the product side, semi-fitting can be reliably prevented.
