Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] However, in conventional shield shells, the first and second shield shells are bolted together to form a single unit. In the case of a shield connector in which multiple wires are arranged side by side in the connector width direction, the dimensions of the first and second shield shells become longer in the connector width direction. As a result, the repulsive force from the shield pipes of the multiple wires being held can cause the wire holding portion to bend outward in the center along the connector width direction, potentially leading to unstable contact with the multiple shield pipes.

[0006] Therefore, by fastening the first shield shell and the second shield shell with multiple bolts, the deflection of the wire holding section is suppressed, and contact with the multiple shield pipes is stabilized. As a result, conventional shield connectors had the problem of becoming larger due to the increased number of bolt fastening points and the increase in the number of parts.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0012] Hereinafter, examples of embodiments according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. (Embodiment) Figs. 1 to 3 are perspective views and exploded perspective views of a shield connector 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this specification, the front-rear direction, the up-down direction, and the left-right direction of the shield connector 1 shall follow the directions of the arrows shown in Figs. 1 to 3. That is, the front-rear direction is the direction along the connector fitting direction of the shield connector 1, and the side where the fitting portion of the fixed portion is fitted to the mating portion is defined as the front of the housing 10. The up-down direction is the extending direction of the shield wire 44 orthogonal to the connector fitting direction of the shield connector 1, and the leading-out direction of the shield wire 44 is defined as the downward direction. Further, the left-right direction is the connector width direction along the longitudinal direction of the substantially oval cross-section of the fitting portion 22 orthogonal to the connector fitting direction.

[0013] As shown in Figs. 1 to 3, the shield connector 1 according to this embodiment has a housing 10, four terminal wires 40, a cover 30, and a shield shell 60. This shield connector 1 is, for example, a connector used for a power supply circuit such as an inverter or a motor of a vehicle such as a hybrid vehicle or an electric vehicle. This shield connector 1 is fitted to a mating connector (fitting portion) provided in a shield case (fixed portion), not shown, such as an inverter or a motor, and is electrically connected.

[0014] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the housing 10 is a substantially L-shaped housing having a fitting portion 22 that houses the tab terminal (terminal) 41 of the wire 40 with terminals and is fitted to a mating connector, and four wire introduction portions 12 through which the ends of the shield wire 44 connected to the tab terminal 41 are introduced from below in a direction intersecting the fitting direction of the fitting portion 22 (front-rear direction in FIG. 2).

[0015] The fitting portion 22 is formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape having a substantially oval cross-section and protrudes forward in the fitting direction with the mating connector in the housing 10. Four terminal insertion holes 14 (see FIG. 3) are formed side by side in the left-right direction (connector width direction) at the bottom of the fitting portion 22.

[0016] The four wire introduction portions 12 extend downward in a direction intersecting the fitting direction of the housing 10 with the mating connector and are arranged side by side in the left-right direction. Wire insertion holes for inserting the shield wire 44 are formed in these wire introduction portions 12, respectively.

[0017] As shown in FIG. 3, the housing 10 has a housing portion 13 formed in a concave shape with the rear portion on the opposite side of the fitting portion 22 being opened by an opening 16. A cover 30 is assembled to the opening 16 on the opposite side of the fitting portion 22 at the rear of the housing 10. The housing 10 and the cover 30 are molded from a synthetic resin having electrical insulation properties.

[0018] When the cover 30 is assembled to the housing 10, the opening 16, which is the mounting work hole for the wire 40 with terminals, is covered by the cover 30. A plurality of locking claws 15 project from the outer peripheral surface 10a of the housing 10. Also, a locking projection 17 projects from the upper center of the outer peripheral surface 10a.

[0019] As shown in FIG. 3, the cover 30 is formed in a substantially rectangular plate shape and is assembled from the rear side to the opening 16 of the housing 10 via an annular seal member 50. The sealing member 50 is attached to the outer sealing surface of the cover 30 and provides a waterproof seal between the opening 16 of the housing 10 and the cover 30.

[0020] As a result, the opening 16 of the housing 10's dwelling section 13 is sealed watertight by the cover 30. The cover 30 has a plurality of locking pieces 35 formed on its periphery, each having a locking hole. When the cover 30 is assembled to the housing 10, the locking claws 15 formed on the housing 10 fit into the locking holes of these locking pieces 35. Each locking piece 35 is then locked by the locking claws 15, holding the cover 30 in the assembled state relative to the housing 10.

[0021] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the terminal-equipped electric wire 40 consists of a shielded electric wire 44, a tab terminal (terminal) 41 connected to the conductor end of the shielded electric wire 44, a shield terminal 43 connected to the braid (shielding member) of the shielded electric wire 44, and first and second sealing packings 45 and 46 that provide a watertight seal between the electric wire introduction section 12 of the housing 10 and the shielded electric wire 44.

[0022] The shielded cable 44 is configured as a coaxial cable consisting of a core wire arranged from the center, an inner sheath covering the core wire, a conductive braid covering the inner sheath, and an outer sheath covering the braid.

[0023] The tab terminal 41 is formed from a conductive metal material such as copper, copper alloy, aluminum, or aluminum alloy. This tab terminal 41 is crimped onto the exposed core wire at the end of the shielded wire 44 and electrically connected to the shielded wire 44. This tab terminal 41 is inserted into the electrical connection portion of the mating terminal (not shown) provided on the mating connector, and an electrical connection is made.

[0024] The terminal-equipped wire 40, which is assembled to the housing 10, has its shielded wire 44 passed through the wire insertion hole of the wire introduction section 12, and its tab terminal 41 is inserted into the terminal insertion hole 14 of the mating section 22 and housed in the terminal housing chamber 21 of the inner housing 20. In this way, the tab terminal 41 of the terminal-equipped wire 40 is fixed to the mating section 22 of the housing 10.

[0025] Furthermore, each shielded wire 44 of the terminal-equipped wire 40 is fitted with first and second sealing packings 45 and 46. The first sealing packing 45 seals the space between the shield terminal 43 connected to the braid of the shielded wire 44 and the wire introduction section 12. The second sealing packing 46 seals the space between the shielded wire 44 and the shield terminal 43. These first and second sealing packings 45 and 46 seal the space between the shielded wire 44 and the wire introduction section 12.

[0026] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the shield connector 1 according to this embodiment includes a shield shell 60 composed of an upper shield shell (first shield shell) 61 assembled from the rear side of the housing 10 and a lower shield shell (second shield shell) 62 assembled from below. The upper shield shell 61 is formed by press-forming a metal plate, and the lower shield shell 62 is formed by die-casting molten metal.

[0027] As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the upper shield shell 61 is formed in a box shape having a substantially rectangular flat bottom plate portion 63 and peripheral walls 65 that are vertically attached to the periphery of the bottom plate portion 63. The bottom plate portion 63 covers the rear surface of the housing 10, and the peripheral walls 65 cover the top surface and left and right sides (sides) of the housing 10. Below the bottom plate portion 63, a first shield terminal clamping portion 73 is provided for clamping the shield terminal 43 of the terminal-equipped wire 40 extending from the wire introduction portion 12 of the housing 10.

[0028] The first shield terminal clamping portion 73 has a pressing portion 80 on the central side in the direction in which the multiple shield terminals 43 are arranged side by side, which protrudes inward more than on both ends. The pressing portion 80 is made up of a bent portion formed by bending the central side of the first shield terminal clamping portion 73 so that it is convex inward. That is, the central side of the upper shield shell 61 in the left-right direction is bent along the bending line 77 so that it protrudes inward more than on the left and right ends, thereby forming the pressing portion 80 on the first shield terminal clamping portion 73.

[0029] Furthermore, slits 78 and 79 are formed on the extension of the bending line 77 in the peripheral wall 65 and the first shield terminal clamping portion 73, respectively, in order to facilitate the bending of the upper shield shell 61 along the bending line 77.

[0030] Furthermore, the upper shield shell 61 is provided with a fixing piece 67 having a hole 67a protruding from the left side of the fixing portion 70 of the first shield terminal clamping portion 73, a mounting piece 68 having a hole 68a protruding from the upper right corner of the peripheral wall 65, a pair of through holes 69 formed at both ends in the connector width direction below the bottom plate portion 63, and a locking hole 75 formed in the upper center of the peripheral wall 65.

[0031] As shown in Figure 3, the lower shield shell 62 has a second shield terminal clamping portion 71 for clamping the shield terminal 43 of the terminal-equipped wire 40 extending from the wire introduction portion 12 of the housing 10, and covers the portion of the front of the housing 10 excluding the fitting portion 22. Four wire insertion grooves 76 are provided on the lower end inner surface of the second shield terminal clamping portion 71, into which the shield wires 44 of the terminal-equipped wire 40 are each inserted.

[0032] Furthermore, the lower shield shell 62 is provided with a fixing piece 64 having a hole 64a that protrudes from the left side of the second shield terminal clamping portion 71 corresponding to the fixing piece 67, and a pair of screw holes 66 formed above the second shield terminal clamping portion 71 corresponding to a pair of through holes 69.

[0033] Next, we will describe how to assemble the shield connector 1 according to this embodiment. First, as shown in Figure 3, the shielded wire 44 of the terminal-equipped wire 40 is passed through the wire entry section 12 of the housing 10, and the tab terminal 41 is pulled out towards the housing section 13. Then, the tab terminal 41 is inserted into the terminal insertion hole 14 of the housing 10.

[0034] Then, the cover 30 is brought close to the housing portion 13 of the housing 10 so as to cover the opening 16 from the rear side, and the locking claws 15 of the housing 10 are locked into the locking pieces 35 of the cover 30. As a result, the sealing member 50 attached to the housing 10 provides a waterproof seal between the opening 16 of the housing 10 and the cover 30.

[0035] Next, the shield shell 60 is attached to the housing 10. First, as shown in Figures 6 and 7, the lower shield shell 62 of the shield shell 60 is attached from below so as to cover the wire entry section 12 of the housing 10 and the shield terminal 43 of the terminal-equipped wire 40, and the shield wire 44 is inserted into the wire insertion groove 76.

[0036] Next, the upper shield shell 61 of the shield shell 60 is attached from the rear so as to cover the housing 10 to which the cover 30 is assembled. The upper shield shell 61 is attached to the rear of the housing 10 by first engaging the locking hole 75 with the locking projection 17 of the housing 10, then placing the first shield terminal clamping portion 73 over the wire introduction portion 12 and the shield terminal 43 of the wire with terminal 40, and placing the fixing portion 70 over the wire insertion groove 76.

[0037] In this case, the first shield terminal clamping portion 73 having the pressing portion 80 protrudes inward from the center side in the direction in which the multiple shield terminals 43 are arranged side by side, compared to the ends. Therefore, as shown in Figure 7, the distance between the first shield terminal clamping portion 73 and the two inner shield terminals 43 on the left and right sides is narrower than the distance between the two outer shield terminals 43 on the left and right sides.

[0038] The upper shield shell 61 and lower shield shell 62 are then mounted on the housing 10, with the through hole 69 of the upper shield shell 61 and the screw hole 66 of the lower shield shell 62 in communication. Subsequently, as shown in Figure 8, the upper shield shell 61 and lower shield shell 62 are fixed to the housing 10 by inserting the bolt 81 into the through hole 69 and screwing it into the screw hole 66.

[0039] In this case, the upper shield shell 61 fixed to the housing 10 first has the pressing portion 80 of the first shield terminal clamping portion 73 contact the two inner shield terminals 43 on the left and right sides, and then both ends of the first shield terminal clamping portion 73 contact the two outer shield terminals 43 on the left and right sides. Then, the first shield terminal clamping portion 73 of the upper shield shell 61 and the second shield terminal clamping portion 71 of the lower shield shell 62, which clamp the four shield terminals 43 arranged side by side in the width direction of the connector, are fastened and fixed at both ends in the width direction of the connector by a pair of bolts 81.

[0040] Here, the upper shield shell 61, which is longer in the connector width direction, is deformed by the repulsive force P from the four shield terminals 43 being clamped, causing the first shield terminal clamping portion 73 to bend outward in the center along the connector width direction. However, the pressing portion 80 of the first shield terminal clamping portion 73 protrudes inward more than both ends in the direction in which the four shield terminals 43 are arranged side by side.

[0041] Therefore, as shown in Figure 9, the fastening force F2 on the left and right center side by the pressing part 80 is greater than the fastening force F1 on both the left and right ends by the pair of bolts 81 in the first shield terminal clamping part 73. As a result, the contact with the two inner left and right shield terminals 43 is good, just like the contact with the two outer left and right shield terminals 43. Therefore, in this embodiment, the contact of the upper shield shell 61 with the four shield terminals 43 is stable, and contact reliability can be improved.

[0042] The upper shield shell 61 and the lower shield shell 62 are electrically connected to each other via bolts 81. Furthermore, one end of the braided shield wire 44 is electrically connected to the shield shell 60 by the shield terminal 43 of the terminal-equipped wire 40.

[0043] Furthermore, after the shield connector 1 is mated with the mating connector provided on the shield case, it is fastened and fixed to the shield case by a pair of fixing bolts (not shown) inserted into the holes 68a of the mounting piece 68 of the upper shield shell 61 and the holes 64a and 67a of the fixing pieces 64 and 67, thereby ensuring a secure electrical connection. As a result, the shield connector 1 is covered by the shield shell 60 fixed to the shield case, providing a good electromagnetic shielding effect.

[0044] (Reference example) Figures 10 and 11 are perspective and cross-sectional views illustrating the assembly procedure of a shield connector 1A according to a reference example. The shield connector 1A in the reference example differs from the embodiment described above in that the shape of the shield shell 60A is different. In the following, the same reference numerals are used for parts that are the same as in the embodiment described above, and their descriptions are omitted.

[0045] As shown in Figure 10, the shield shell 60A in the reference example is composed of an upper shield shell (first shield shell) 61A and a lower shield shell (second shield shell) 62A. The upper shield shell 61A is formed in a box shape having a substantially rectangular flat bottom plate portion 63A and peripheral walls 65 that are vertically attached to the periphery of the bottom plate portion 63A. The bottom plate portion 63A covers the rear surface of the housing 10, and the peripheral walls 65 cover the top surface and left and right sides (sides) of the housing 10. Below the bottom plate portion 63A, a first shield terminal clamping portion 73 is provided for clamping the shield terminal 43 of the terminal-equipped wire 40 extending from the wire introduction portion 12 of the housing 10.

[0046] Furthermore, the upper shield shell 61A is provided with a pair of through holes 69 formed at both ends in the connector width direction below the bottom plate portion 63A, and a through hole 74 formed in the center of the fixing portion 70 in the connector width direction.

[0047] Furthermore, the lower shield shell 62A is provided with a pair of screw holes 66 formed above the second shield terminal clamping portion 71 corresponding to a pair of through holes 69, and a screw hole 72 formed below the second shield terminal clamping portion 71 corresponding to a through hole 74.

[0048] Therefore, when assembling the shield connector 1A according to the reference example, as shown in Figure 11, a pair of bolts 81 are inserted into a pair of through holes 69 and screwed into the screw holes 66, and a bolt 81 is inserted into a through hole 74 and screwed into the screw hole 72. In this way, the upper shield shell 61A and the lower shield shell 62A are fixed to the housing 10.

[0049] Here, the upper shield shell 61A, which is longer in the connector width direction, is deformed by the repulsive force P from the four shield terminals 43 it holds, causing the first shield terminal clamping portion 73 to bend outward in the center along the connector width direction. Therefore, by fastening the central part of the fixing portion 70 in the connector width direction with a bolt 81, the bending of the first shield terminal clamping portion 73 is suppressed, and the contact of the upper shield shell 61A with the four shield terminals 43 is stabilized. As a result, three bolts 81 are required, increasing the number of parts.

[0050] In contrast, the shield connector 1 of this embodiment described above makes it possible to improve the contact reliability between the shield shell 60 and the shield terminal 43 without increasing the number of bolt fastening portions of the shield shell 60.

[0051] Furthermore, in the shield connector 1 according to this embodiment, the upper shield shell 61 is formed by press-forming a metal plate, and the pressing portion 80 is composed of a bent portion formed by bending the central side of the first shield terminal clamping portion 73 so that it is convex inward. Therefore, by simply setting the external dimensions of the press-formed upper shield shell 61 (for example, the bending angle along the bending line 77) as appropriate, the pressing force of the pressing portion 80, which is formed by a bent portion that is bent so that the central side of the first shield terminal clamping portion 73 is convex inward, can be easily controlled.

[0052] Furthermore, in the shield connector 1 according to this embodiment, the upper shield shell 61 has a bottom plate portion 63 that covers the rear surface of the housing 10 and a peripheral wall 65 that is vertically attached to the periphery of the bottom plate portion 63 and covers the side surface of the housing 10. Therefore, the shield connector 1 can obtain a good electromagnetic shielding effect with simple assembly work.

[0053] Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and can be modified, improved, etc., as appropriate. In addition, the material, shape, dimensions, number, placement, etc. of each component in the embodiments described above are arbitrary and not limited, as long as they can achieve the present invention. For example, although the above embodiment describes an example in which the lower shield shell 62 is formed by die casting, the lower shield shell may also be formed by press molding. In this case, the second shield terminal clamping portion of the lower shield shell can also be provided with a pressing portion in which the central side in the direction in which the plurality of shield terminals 43 are arranged side by side protrudes inward more than the ends.

[0054] Herein, the features of the embodiments of the shielded connector according to the present invention described above are briefly summarized and listed below in [1] to [3]. [1] A housing (10) that accommodates the terminals (tab terminals 41), The housing (10) is covered by a first shield shell (upper shield shell 61) and a second shield shell (lower shield shell 62), Multiple shield terminals (43) are connected to the shielding members (braids) of multiple shielded wires (44) to which terminals (tab terminals 41) are connected, The connector comprises a pair of bolts (81) that fasten and fix at both ends in the connector width direction the first shield shell (upper shield shell 61) has a first shield terminal clamping portion (73) and the second shield terminal clamping portion (71) of the second shield shell (lower shield shell 62) for clamping the plurality of shield terminals (43) arranged in parallel in the connector width direction, Of the first shield terminal clamping portion (73) and the second shield terminal clamping portion (71), at least the first shield terminal clamping portion (73) has a pressing portion (80) that protrudes inward from the central side in the direction in which the plurality of shield terminals (43) are arranged side by side, compared to both ends. Shielded connector (1).

[0055] According to the shield connector (1) with the configuration described in [1] above, the first shield shell (upper shield shell 61), which is longer in the width direction of the connector, is deformed by the repulsive force (P) from the multiple shield terminals (43) it is clamped by, causing the first shield terminal clamping portion (73) to bend outward in the center along the width direction of the connector. However, the pressing portion (80) of the first shield terminal clamping portion (73) protrudes inward more than both ends in the direction in which the multiple shield terminals (43) are arranged side by side. Therefore, in the first shield terminal clamping portion (73), the fastening force (F2) on the center side in the connector width direction by the pressing portion (80) is greater than the fastening force (F1) on both ends in the connector width direction by the pair of bolts (81). As a result, the contact with the shield terminals (43) on the inside in the connector width direction is as good as the contact with the shield terminals 43 on the outside in the connector width direction. Therefore, in this configuration, the contact of the first shield shell (upper shield shell 61) with the multiple shield terminals (43) is stable, and the contact reliability can be improved.

[0056] [2] The first shield shell (upper shield shell 61) is formed by press-forming a metal plate, The pressing portion (80) is formed by a bent portion that is bent so that the central side of the first shield terminal clamping portion (73) is convex inward. The shield connector (1) described in [1] above.

[0058] [3] The first shield shell (upper shield shell 61) has a bottom plate portion (63) that covers the rear surface of the housing (10) and a peripheral wall (65) that is perpendicular to the periphery of the bottom plate portion (63) and covers the side surface of the housing (10), The shield connector (1) described in [2] above.
