The diameter of the post fitting portion 33 of the terminal 30 is increased. Accordingly, the post fitting portion 33 can be easily fitted to the battery post 40 in this state.
When the post fitting part 33 is fitted to the battery post 40, the cam part 32a is pressed against the peripheral surface of the battery post 40 by tilting the cam lever 32 as shown in FIG. Then, the inner peripheral surface of the post fitting portion 33 of the battery terminal 30 is pressure-bonded to the peripheral surface of the battery post 40 by a reaction force caused by pressing of the cam portion 32 a. As a result, the battery terminal 30 is electrically and mechanically connected to the battery post 40 by the frictional force between the inner peripheral surface of the post fitting portion 33 and the outer peripheral surface of the battery post 40.
By the way, since the conventional battery terminal 30 has a configuration in which the metal portion including the cam lever 32 as a crimping operation member is exposed as it is, there is a risk of electric shock when the battery post 40 is detached.
In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a highly safe battery connector that does not cause an electric shock.

In the battery connector according to the present invention, the crimp fitting member provided on the terminal cover is moved from the initial position to the tightening position while the battery terminal is covered with the terminal cover. Tightening can be performed. Therefore, the exposed portion of the metal other than the necessary portion can be eliminated, and safety during the mounting operation can be ensured.
The invention according to claim 2 is the battery connector according to claim 1, wherein the crimping operation member is rotatably assembled to the terminal cover, and the crimping operation member is rotated from the initial position to the tightening position. In this case, there is provided a pressing portion for reducing the diameter by pressing the post fitting portion from the outside.
In the battery connector according to the present invention, the crimping operation member is rotatably attached to the terminal cover, and the post fitting accommodated in the terminal cover is simply rotated from the initial position to the tightening position. The part can be easily crimped to the battery post.
A third aspect of the present invention is the battery connector according to the second aspect, wherein the pressing portion includes the crimping operation member. Side plate The post-fitting portion is gradually pressed from the outside to reduce the diameter as the crimping operation member is rotated from the initial position toward the tightening position. In addition, the crimping operation member is arranged in parallel to the rotation surface of the crimping operation member, and thus the crimping operation member is rotated to the tightening position. And a parallel portion that cancels the return in the rotation direction and maintains the reduced diameter state of the post fitting portion.
In the case of the battery connector according to the present invention, since the turning force of the crimping operation member is converted into the reduced diameter force of the post fitting portion by the inclined portion, the post fitting portion is expanded while the crimping operation member is being rotated. Although the rotational force is returned to the crimping operation member due to the elastic reaction force in the radial direction, at the stage where the crimping operation member is finally rotated to the tightening completion position, Side plate Since the parallel part arranged in parallel with the post fitting part hits the post fitting part, the return rotation of the crimping operation member due to the reaction force in the diameter expansion direction of the post fitting part cancels out, so that the post fitting part has a stable reduced diameter state (battery Can be held in a stable crimped state against the post). In other words, the crimping operation member can be stably held at the tightening position without providing any particular locking means.

The battery terminal 5 attached to the tip of W can be inserted therein. Here, when the battery terminal 5 is accommodated in the terminal cover 10, the post fitting portion 5a is fitted to the battery post 2 in a part of the left side wall 11c corresponding to the inlet 5e of the post fitting portion 5a. An opening 12 is provided for insertion. A mounting port 13 for assembling the crimping operation member 15 is provided on the upper wall 11a located on the upper side of the post fitting portion 5a.
As shown in FIG. 2, the crimping operation member 15 has a top plate 15a corresponding to the size of the mounting opening 13, and triangular side plates 15b and 15b projecting downward from both left and right edges. A pin 17 that functions as a rotating shaft protrudes from the ends of the side plates 15b and 15b. As shown in FIG. 1, the left and right pins 17 are engaged with recesses (not shown) provided on the left and right sides (left and right when viewed from the right side wall 11 d of the terminal cover 10) of the terminal cover 10. By joining, the crimping operation member 15 is assembled to the terminal cover 10 so as to be rotatable in the vertical direction.
In this case, the pin 17 is located on the upper side in the vicinity of the inlet 5e [see FIG. 5A] of the post fitting portion 5a (that is, on the upper side near the left side wall 11c of the terminal cover 10). The member 15 is attached so that the free end extending toward the right side wall 11d can be moved up and down with the pin 17 at the vicinity of the left side wall 11c of the terminal cover 10 as a fulcrum. An operation convex portion 15c is provided at the end of the top plate 15a to facilitate the push-down operation with a finger.
As shown in FIG. 2, the crimping operation member 15 is shown on the left and right side plates 15b of the crimping operation member 15 from the initial position shown in FIGS. 1, 3A, 4A, and 5A. A pressing wall (pressing portion) 16 that presses the post fitting portion 5a from the outside to reduce the diameter when rotated to the tightening position shown in 3 (b), FIG. 4 (b), and FIG. 5 (b). Is provided. The left and right pressing walls 16 face each other in parallel, and an inclined portion 16a is provided on the lower opposing surface (inner surface) of each pressing wall 16, and a parallel portion 16b is provided on the upper opposing surface (inner surface). ing.
The inclined portion 16a is provided on the crimping operation member 15. The outer surface of the side plate 15b The parallel portion 16b is formed by a surface inclined with respect to the crimping operation member 15. The outer surface of the side plate 15b It is comprised by the surface parallel to. The direction of inclination of the inclined portion 16a is set such that the interval between the left and right inclined portions 16a facing each other becomes smaller toward the upper side of the pressing wall 16, and there is no step from the inclined portion 16a to the parallel portion 16b. Transitioning continuously.
The inclined portion 16a can perform the function of gradually reducing the diameter by pressing the post fitting portion 5a gradually from the outside as the crimping operation member 15 is rotated from the initial position toward the tightening position. Further, the parallel portion 16b cancels the return in the rotation direction of the crimping operation member 15 due to the reaction force in the diameter expanding direction of the post fitting portion 5a in a state where the crimping operation member 15 is rotated to the tightening position. The function of maintaining the reduced diameter state of the fitting portion 5a is exhibited.
First, as shown in FIG. 1, the battery terminal 5 is attached to the tip of the electric wire W, and the battery terminal 5 is inserted into the terminal cover 10 to which the crimping operation member 15 is previously attached (the crimping operation is performed). The member 15 can be assembled later).
At this time, the inlet 5 e side of the post fitting portion 5 a of the battery terminal 5 is inserted toward the opening 12 of the left side wall 11 c of the terminal cover 10. In this state, the battery terminal 5 is hidden in the terminal cover 10 made of an insulating material, thereby completing the battery connector C1.
Next, the battery connector C <b> 1 is fitted into the battery post 2. At that time, the rectangular tube-shaped terminal cover 10 is inserted into the space between the bottom surface of the recess 1 a on the battery 1 side and the upper wall 3, and the battery post 2 is received into the terminal cover 10 through the opening 12. As shown in FIG. 5A, the post fitting portion 5 a is loosely fitted to the battery post 2. At this time, the crimping operation member 15 is at the upper initial position as shown in FIGS. 3, 4 and 5 (a), and does not exert any force on the post fitting portion 5a. The post fitting portion 5a is in a free state and can be easily loosely fitted to the battery post 2.
Next, as shown in FIGS. 3A and 4A, the operation convex portion 15c at the rear end of the crimping operation member 15 is pushed down. Then, the crimping operation member 15 rotates downward with the pins 17 on both ends of the tip as fulcrums, so that the inclined portion 16a of the pressing wall 16 comes into press contact with the outer periphery of the post fitting portion 5a, and the wedge is formed by the inclined portion 16a. As a result, the diameter of the post fitting portion 5 a is forcibly reduced, and the inner peripheral surface of the post fitting portion 5 a is crimped to the outer peripheral surface of the battery post 2.
At this time, as can be seen from FIG. 4B, the rotation direction of the crimping operation member 15 is in a direction in which the curved portion of the post fitting portion 5a (the portion opposite to the inlet 5e) is pressed against the battery post 2. Therefore, the inner peripheral surface of the post fitting portion 5a can be crimped to the outer peripheral surface of the battery post 2 without a gap, and the reliability of electrical connection can be improved.
When the crimping operation member 15 is pushed down to the final tightening position, the parallel portion 16b is pressed against the outer periphery of the post fitting portion 5a, not the inclined portion 16a of the pressing wall 16, as shown in FIG. Thus, the post fitting portion 5a is sandwiched between the left and right parallel portions 16b and 16b and is stably held in a reduced diameter state. That is, even if an elastic reaction force in the diameter expansion direction of the post fitting portion 5a acts on the parallel portion 16b, no component force in the rotational direction is generated in the crimping operation member 15. Therefore, once the crimping operation member 15 is pushed down to a position where the parallel portion 16b hits the post fitting portion 5a, the crimping operation member 15 is naturally held in the pushed-down position even without locking by providing a locking means. Therefore, the configuration can be simplified.
Thus, when it becomes necessary to remove the battery connector C1 from the state where the battery connector C1 is connected to the battery post 2, the rear end (operation convex portion 15c) of the crimping operation member 15 is lifted up. Then, when the pressing wall 16 that has pressed the post fitting portion 5a is lifted upward, the post fitting portion 5a is restored to the initial expanded state by its own spring force. Connector C1 can be removed.
In the case of this battery connector C1, since the battery terminal 5 is accommodated in the terminal cover 10 and the exposed portion of the metal other than the necessary portion is eliminated, there is no risk of electric shock during the attachment / detachment operation with respect to the battery post 2. , Can increase safety. Further, since the crimping operation member 15 is rotatably assembled to the terminal cover 10 via the pin 17, there is no risk of the crimping operation member 15 dropping off, and the crimping operation member 15 is simply rotated (this example) Then, the post fitting portion 5a can be easily crimped to the battery post 2 or released from the crimping by simply pressing it down or lifting it up.
