CONNECTOR, CONNECTOR FITTING DETERMINATION DEVICE AND CONNECTOR FITTING DETERMINATION METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a connector fitting determination device capable of accurately determining a fitting state of connectors without increasing man-hours in connector fitting work.;SOLUTION: The connector fitting determination device comprises: a male connector including a lock arm in which a lock claw is provided and which is elastically deformable; and a female connector including first and second lock holes which can be fitted with the lock claw. The connector fitting determination device determines a connector fitting state where, as the male connector is inserted into the female connector, the lock claw is temporarily fitted with the first lock hole and separated from the first lock hole thereafter and the lock claw is finally fitted with the second lock hole. The connector fitting determination device comprises: a detection device for successively detecting sounds or vibrations to be generated when successively fitting the lock claw with the first and second lock holes; and a fitting determination part for determining the connector fitting state by comparing the sounds or vibrations which are successively detected by the detection device, with each other.;SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1;COPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT
