Further, the front side of the movable frame 34 is a portion that becomes the opening 11.

そして、このように構成された各部品が組み合わされて実施形態のコネクタとなる。この組み合わせは、図３Ｃに示すように、コンタクト１４が一体となるように形成されたハウジング１７をカバー部材本体２１の内側に取り付ける。このとき、カバー部材本体２１の上面部２２、一方の側面部２８、他方の側面部２９、及び底面部３３に囲まれた部分にハウジング１７の取付部１９が取り付けられる。なお、ハウジングとカバー部材本体の取り付けは、ハウジングの形成時にコンタクトと共に一体に形成するようにしてもよい。また、ハウジング１７が取り付けられたカバー部材本体２１に可動枠体３４を取りつける。この取り付けは、カバー部材２０の軸部１３となるカバー部材本体２１の一方の側面部２８及び他方の側面部２９に形成された円状の突起部３０と、可動枠体３４の一方の側部３８及び他方の側部３９の各腕部４２に形成された円状の貫通孔４３とが嵌め合わせて行なわれる。そして、可動枠体３４が軸部１３を軸に移動可能に取り付けられるようになる。 And each component comprised in this way is combined and it becomes the connector of embodiment. In this combination, as shown in FIG. 3C, the housing 17 formed so that the contacts 14 are integrated is attached to the inside of the cover member main body 21. At this time, the mounting portion 19 of the housing 17 is attached to a portion surrounded by the upper surface portion 22, the one side surface portion 28, the other side surface portion 29, and the bottom surface portion 33 of the cover member main body 21. Note that the housing and the cover member main body may be integrally formed with the contact when the housing is formed. Further, the movable frame 34 is attached to the cover member main body 21 to which the housing 17 is attached. In this attachment, the circular protrusion 30 formed on one side surface portion 28 and the other side surface portion 29 of the cover member main body 21 that becomes the shaft portion 13 of the cover member 20 and one side portion of the movable frame 34 are provided. 38 and the circular through-holes 43 formed in the arm portions 42 of the other side portion 39 are fitted together. Then, the movable frame 34 is attached so as to be movable around the shaft portion 13.

なお、軸部１３は、突起部３０を貫通孔４３に貫通させた後に、さらに、カバー部材本体２１の後面部２５の屈曲部２６に形成された貫通孔４３より小さい孔部２７に、各突起部３０の中心部に形成された小突起部３１を挿通させるようにしてもよい（図２Ｂ及び図４Ａ参照）。 In addition, after the shaft portion 13 penetrates the projecting portion 30 through the through hole 43, each shaft portion 13 is further inserted into each hole portion 27 smaller than the through hole 43 formed in the bent portion 26 of the rear surface portion 25 of the cover member main body 21. You may make it insert the small protrusion part 31 formed in the center part of the part 30 (refer FIG. 2B and FIG. 4A).

また、開口部１１が開いた状態のコネクタ１０では、図１Ａに示すように、カバー部材本体２１に対して、軸部１３を軸に、カバー部材本体２１の底面部３３側に移動している。このとき、カバー部材本体２１の一方及び他方の側面部２８、２９に形成された開口時規制片３２に可動枠体３４の一方及び他方の側部３８，３９に形成された当接部４１が当接することで可動枠体３４の移動が規制されている。なお、開口時規制片３２と当接部４１が当接した状態で、一時的に固定できるようにしてもよい。 Further, in the connector 10 with the opening 11 open, as shown in FIG. 1A, the cover 10 is moved toward the bottom surface 33 of the cover member main body 21 with the shaft portion 13 as an axis. . At this time, the contact portion 41 formed on one and the other side portions 38 and 39 of the movable frame 34 is formed on the opening restriction piece 32 formed on the one and other side portions 28 and 29 of the cover member main body 21. The movement of the movable frame 34 is restricted by the contact. In addition, you may enable it to fix temporarily in the state which the contact piece 41 at the time of opening contact | abutted, and the contact part 41 contact | abutted.

次に、図１Ｂ及び図５を参照して、可動枠体３４を移動させて開口部１１を狭くした状態の実施形態のコネクタ１０について説明する。コネクタ１０の開口部１１を狭くする場合は、開口部１１が開いた状態のコネクタ１０のカバー部材２０の可動枠体３４を、カバー部材本体２１に対して開口部１１が狭くなる方向、すなわち、カバー部材本体２１の上面部２２側に移動させることで行なわれる。 Next, with reference to FIG. 1B and FIG. 5, the connector 10 of the embodiment in a state where the movable frame body 34 is moved to narrow the opening 11 will be described. When narrowing the opening 11 of the connector 10, the movable frame 34 of the cover member 20 of the connector 10 in a state in which the opening 11 is opened is arranged in a direction in which the opening 11 becomes narrower than the cover member main body 21, that is, This is performed by moving the cover member body 21 toward the upper surface portion 22 side.

このとき、可動枠体３４自体も軸部１３を軸として、カバー部材本体２１の方向に移動するようになり、カバー部材本体２１の一方及び他方の側面部２８、２９の傾斜に沿うように、可動枠体３４の底部３５が傾斜した状態になる。このとき、コネクタ１０の内部の収容空間１２も狭められるようになる。このようにすることで、可動枠体３４の移動した分のコネクタのスペースを小さくすることができ、コネクタの小型化及び省スペース化を図ることができる。 At this time, the movable frame 34 itself also moves in the direction of the cover member main body 21 about the shaft portion 13 as an axis, and along the inclination of one and the other side surface portions 28 and 29 of the cover member main body 21, The bottom portion 35 of the movable frame 34 is inclined. At this time, the accommodating space 12 inside the connector 10 is also narrowed. By doing in this way, the space of the connector for the amount of movement of the movable frame 34 can be reduced, and the connector can be reduced in size and space.

なお、可動枠体３４を開口部１１が狭くなる方向に移動させると、カバー部材本体２１の上面部２２に形成された一対の狭め時規制片２４に可動枠体３４の一方及び他方の側部３８，３９の上側が当接する。この当接により、可動枠体３４の移動が規制されるようになる。なお、狭め時規制片２４と一方及び他方の側部３８，３９が当接した状態で、一時的に固定できるようにしてもよい。 When the movable frame 34 is moved in the direction in which the opening 11 is narrowed, one side and the other side of the movable frame 34 are paired with a pair of narrowing restriction pieces 24 formed on the upper surface 22 of the cover member main body 21. The upper side of 38 and 39 contacts. Due to this contact, the movement of the movable frame 34 is regulated. The narrowing restriction piece 24 may be temporarily fixed in a state where the one and other side portions 38 and 39 are in contact with each other.

また、コネクタ１０の開口部１１を狭くした状態から、開口部１１を開く場合は、可動枠体３４をカバー部材本体２１の底面部３３側に移動させることで、軸部１３を軸に可動枠体３４が移動させることで行なわれる。このとき、上述したように、カバー部材本体２１の一方及び他方の側面部２８、２９に形成された開口時規制片３２に可動枠体３４の一方及び他方の側部３８，３９に形成された当接部４１が当接することで可動枠体３４の移動が規制されるようになる。 Further, when opening the opening 11 from the state in which the opening 11 of the connector 10 is narrowed, the movable frame 34 is moved to the bottom surface 33 side of the cover member main body 21 to move the movable frame about the shaft 13. This is done by moving the body 34. At this time, as described above, the opening restriction piece 32 formed on the one and other side surfaces 28 and 29 of the cover member main body 21 is formed on the one and other side portions 38 and 39 of the movable frame 34. The movement of the movable frame 34 is regulated by the contact of the contact portion 41.

なお、実施形態では、軸部は、カバー部材本体に突起部を形成し、可動枠体に突起部が貫通する貫通孔を形成した場合を説明したが、これに限らず、カバー部材本体に貫通孔を形成し、可動枠体に突起部を形成するようにしてもよい。 In the embodiment, the case where the shaft portion is formed with the projection portion in the cover member main body and the through-hole through which the projection portion penetrates is formed in the movable frame body is not limited to this, but the shaft portion penetrates into the cover member main body. You may make it form a hole and form a projection part in a movable frame.

また、可動枠体により開口部が開口され、開口時規制片３２と当接部４１が当接した状態と、開口部が狭められ、狭め時規制片２４と一方及び他方の側部３８，３９が当接した状態において、例えば、カバー部材本体及び可動枠体に形成した凹凸を噛み合わせたりすることで、一時的に固定できるようにしてもよい。 Further, the opening is opened by the movable frame body, and the opening restriction piece 32 and the contact portion 41 are in contact with each other, and the opening is narrowed, and the narrowing restriction piece 24 and the one and the other side portions 38 and 39. In the state in which the contact is made, for example, the cover member main body and the movable frame body may be engaged with each other so as to be able to be temporarily fixed.

また、ばね等の弾性部材を用いて、コネクタを使用しない場合は、弾性力により、可動枠体を開口部が狭くなる方向に常に移動させるようにしておくこともできる。 Further, when the connector is not used by using an elastic member such as a spring, the movable frame body can always be moved in the direction in which the opening is narrowed by the elastic force.

なお、実施形態のコネクタ１０において、相手方プラグを挿入した場合と、開口部１１を狭くした場合において、以下のような構成とすることが好ましい。すなわち、図６Ａに示すように、コネクタ１０に相手方プラグＰを挿入した場合では、相手方プラグＰに押圧されたカバー部材本体２１の上面部２２に設けられた支持部２３と可動枠体３４の底部３５に設けられた支持部３７は外側、すなわちカバー部材本体２１の上面部２２及び可動枠体３４の底部３５から離れる方向に向かって移動される。一方、図６Ｂに示すように、コネクタ１０の開口部１１を狭くした場合では、可動枠体３４はカバー部材本体２１の上面部２２の方向へ移動され、それに伴い、可動枠体３４の一方の側部３８及び他方の側部３９もカバー部材２０の上面部２２の方向へ移動される。 In addition, in the connector 10 of embodiment, when the other party plug is inserted and when the opening part 11 is narrowed, it is preferable to set it as the following structures. That is, as shown in FIG. 6A, when the mating plug P is inserted into the connector 10, the support 23 provided on the upper surface 22 of the cover member main body 21 pressed by the mating plug P and the bottom of the movable frame 34. The support portion 37 provided on 35 is moved outward, that is, in a direction away from the upper surface portion 22 of the cover member main body 21 and the bottom portion 35 of the movable frame body 34. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6B, when the opening 11 of the connector 10 is narrowed, the movable frame 34 is moved in the direction of the upper surface portion 22 of the cover member main body 21. The side portion 38 and the other side portion 39 are also moved in the direction of the upper surface portion 22 of the cover member 20.

このとき、図６Ｃに示すように、コネクタ１０に挿入された相手方プラグＰに押圧されて移動されたカバー部材本体２１の支持部２３のうち、最も外側へ移動した部分２３ａとカバー部材本体２１の上面部２２との垂直方向の間の距離をＸとする。また、図６Ｄに示すように、コネクタ１０の開口部１１を狭くした状態の可動枠体３４の一方の側部３８及び他方の側部（図示省略）のうち、最もカバー部材本体２１の上面部２２の方向へ移動した部分３８ａとカバー部材本体２１の上面部２２との垂直方向の間の距離をＹとする。そして、これらのＸとＹとの距離を比較した場合、ＸよりもＹのほうが短い距離となるように構成されている。 At this time, as shown in FIG. 6C, the portion 23 a moved to the outermost side of the support portion 23 of the cover member main body 21 moved by being pressed by the mating plug P inserted into the connector 10 and the cover member main body 21. Let X be the distance between the top surface 22 and the vertical direction. Further, as shown in FIG. 6D, the uppermost portion of the cover member main body 21 among the one side portion 38 and the other side portion (not shown) of the movable frame 34 in a state where the opening portion 11 of the connector 10 is narrowed. Y is the distance between the vertical direction of the portion 38a moved in the direction 22 and the upper surface portion 22 of the cover member main body 21. When the distances between X and Y are compared, Y is shorter than X.

次に、図７及び図８を参照して、実施形態のコネクタ１０を電子機器等の筐体４６に取り付けた場合を説明する。なお、図７及び図８に示すように、実施形態のコネクタ１０は、筐体４６の端部であって、筐体４６のスペースが狭くなるような曲面状となっている部分に取り付けられている。このとき、コネクタ１０は、可動枠体３４の底部３５が筐体４６に取り付けられる。また、筐体４６内に設けられる基板等の被接続部材４８に、コネクタ１０のコンタクト１４の接続部１６及びカバー部材本体２１に形成された装着部２６ａ、３２ａ（３２ａは不図示）が半田付け等で取り付けられる。 Next, a case where the connector 10 of the embodiment is attached to a housing 46 such as an electronic device will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the connector 10 of the embodiment is attached to an end portion of the housing 46 and a curved portion that makes the space of the housing 46 narrow. Yes. At this time, the connector 10 has the bottom 35 of the movable frame 34 attached to the housing 46. Further, the connecting portion 16 of the contact 14 of the connector 10 and the mounting portions 26a and 32a (32a not shown) formed on the cover member main body 21 are soldered to a connected member 48 such as a substrate provided in the housing 46. Etc. are attached.

まず、コネクタ１０を使用しない場合、すなわち、コネクタ１０の開口部１１を狭くした状態について図７Ａ〜図７Ｄを参照して説明する。この場合、コネクタ１０は、相手方プラグと接続を行なわない状態であるため、上述したように、コネクタ１０の開口部１１が狭くなる方向に可動枠体３４が移動された状態となっている。このとき、筐体４６のコネクタ１０が取り付けられた部分も、移動可能な構成とされており、可動枠体３４の移動とともに、筐体４６の可動枠体３４が取り付けられた可動部４７が移動される。 First, a case where the connector 10 is not used, that is, a state where the opening 11 of the connector 10 is narrowed will be described with reference to FIGS. 7A to 7D. In this case, since the connector 10 is not connected to the counterpart plug, as described above, the movable frame 34 is moved in the direction in which the opening 11 of the connector 10 becomes narrower. At this time, the portion of the housing 46 to which the connector 10 is attached is also movable, and the movable portion 47 to which the movable frame 34 of the housing 46 is attached moves as the movable frame 34 moves. Is done.

そのため、コネクタ１０を使用しない場合は、コネクタ１０の可動枠体３４及び筐体４６の可動枠体３４が取り付けられた可動部４７が、開口部１１が狭くなる方向に移動され、傾斜した状態にさせることができる。そのため、実施形態のコネクタ１０を用いることで、コネクタ１０が取り付けられた部分の筐体４６を曲面状に形成しても、この曲面に沿うようにコネクタを設けることができるようになる。 Therefore, when the connector 10 is not used, the movable portion 47 to which the movable frame body 34 of the connector 10 and the movable frame body 34 of the housing 46 are attached is moved in the direction in which the opening portion 11 is narrowed and is in an inclined state. Can be made. Therefore, by using the connector 10 of the embodiment, even if the casing 46 to which the connector 10 is attached is formed in a curved shape, the connector can be provided along the curved surface.

また、コネクタ１０を使用する場合は、図８Ａ〜図８Ｄに示すように、コネクタの開口部１１が開いている状態となっている。すなわち、上述したように、コネクタ１０の可動枠体３４を開口部１１が広がる方向に移動させることで、開口部１１が開口される。このとき、筐体４６のコネクタ１０の可動枠体３４が取り付けられた可動部４７も移動され、コネクタ１０の開口部１１が現れるようになる。そして、コネクタに相手方プラグが接続できるようになる。 When the connector 10 is used, as shown in FIGS. 8A to 8D, the connector opening 11 is open. That is, as described above, the opening 11 is opened by moving the movable frame 34 of the connector 10 in the direction in which the opening 11 expands. At this time, the movable part 47 to which the movable frame 34 of the connector 10 of the housing 46 is attached is also moved, and the opening 11 of the connector 10 appears. Then, the counterpart plug can be connected to the connector.

以上より、実施形態のコネクタを用いることで、コネクタの使用しない状態においては、筐体の形状に応じて小型化及び省スペース化を図ることができ、また、コネクタを使用する場合は、通常のコネクタと同様に使用することができるようになる。 As described above, by using the connector according to the embodiment, in a state where the connector is not used, it is possible to reduce the size and the space according to the shape of the housing, and when using the connector, It can be used in the same way as a connector.
