Abstract

A power connector dedicated to a heating film includes: a male connector formed in a rectangular thin plate shape, having a power inlet plug formed as a thin plate-shaped electrode on a right side thereof, having a first electrode for wiring a heating film formed as a thin plate-shaped electrode on an upper side, and having a left side to which a power cable internally wired to the power inlet plug is connected; and a female connector formed in a rectangular thin plate shape, having a right side to which the power cable is connected, having a second electrode for wiring a heating film formed as a thin plate-shaped electrode on a right side thereof, and having a power outlet socket wired to the power inlet plug.

Claims (15)

1. A power connector dedicated to a heating film, the power connector comprising:

a male connector ( 1 ) formed in a rectangular thin plate shape, having a power inlet plug ( 12 ) formed as a thin plate-shaped electrode on a right side thereof, having a first electrode ( 11 ) for wiring a heating film formed as a thin plate-shaped electrode on an upper side, and having a left side to which a power cable ( 3 ) internally wired to the power inlet plug ( 12 ) is connected; and

a female connector ( 2 ) formed in a rectangular thin plate shape, having a right side to which the power cable ( 3 ) is connected, having a second electrode ( 21 ) for wiring a heating film formed as a thin plate-shaped electrode on a right side thereof, and having a power outlet socket ( 22 ) wired to the power inlet plug ( 12 ),

wherein the power cable ( 3 ) is adjusted in length in accordance with a distance of a copper electrode ( 50 ) of the heating film and is wired in a plane shape to the copper electrode ( 50 ) of the heating film that is constructed flat, and power is connected to a plurality of sequential heating films ( 5 ) by continuously maintaining connection of the male connectors ( 1 ) and the female connectors ( 2 ).

2. The power connector dedicated to a heating film of claim 1 , wherein a heating film mounting slot ( 40 ) in which the heating film ( 5 ) is fitted to set a coupling position is formed on an upper side of each of the female connector ( 2 ) and the male connector ( 1 ), so the heating film ( 5 ) is inserted into the heating film mounting slot ( 40 ) and an electrode coupling position is determined, and then the first electrode ( 11 ) for wiring a heating film and the second electrode ( 21 ) for wiring a heating film are wired to the cooper electrode ( 50 ) of the heating film.

3. The power connector dedicated to a heating film of claim 2 , wherein the first electrode ( 11 ) for wiring a heating film and the second electrode ( 21 ) for wiring a heating film are formed as thin plate-shaped electrodes with a through-hole ( 210 ) at an end, are inserted to be connected to the copper electrode ( 50 ) of the heating film by opening laminating films 51 and 52 of the heating film, and then are fixed together with the heating film ( 5 ) in the through-holes ( 210 ) by a hole tack ( 8 ), thereby being wired to the cooper electrode ( 50 ) of the heating film.

4. The power connector dedicated to a heating film of claim 1 , wherein the power connector dedicated to a heating film is exclusively used for a ground type heating film by forming the power inlet plug ( 12 ) as a plug to which three single-phased interior power lines (an activation line, a neutral line, and a ground line) are connected, forming the first electrode ( 11 ) for wiring a heating film to include a ground electrode ( 11 - 1 ), and forming the power cable ( 3 ) and the power outlet socket ( 22 ) to include a ground track.

5. The power connector dedicated to a heating film of claim 1 , wherein the female connector ( 2 ) further includes a cap plug ( 6 ) inserted in the power outlet socket ( 22 ), so when there is not male connector ( 1 ) of another power connector ( 2 ) to be coupled to the female connector ( 2 ), electrical safety is performed by inserting the cap plug ( 6 ).

6. The power connector dedicated to a heating film of claim 1 , wherein the male connector ( 1 ) and the female connector ( 2 ) are each manufactured by fixing the first electrode ( 11 ) or second electrode ( 21 ) for wiring a heating film, wires of the power cable ( 3 ), and electrode terminals of the power inlet plug ( 12 ) to a PCB through soldering ( 15 ), electrically connecting the wires and the electrode terminals to a front side and/or a rear side of the PCB through soldering ( 15 ), and then putting them into a mold to be formed with heat resistant resin, or

by preparing and arranging one or more straight metal terminals having a socket at a side in which the wires of the power cable ( 3 ) are inserted and fixed and/or a T-shaped metal terminal having a socket at a side in which the wires of the power cable ( 3 ) are inserted and fixed, by bending overlapping portions of the metal terminals ( 11 , 12 ) to be stepped so that they do not make a short circuit, by disposing an insulator ( 60 ) between the metal terminals ( 11 , 12 ) at the overlapping portions of the metal terminals ( 11 , 12 ), and then by putting them into a mold to be formed with heat resistant resin.

7. A power connector dedicated to a heating film, the power connector comprising:

a male connector-dedicated connector formed in a rectangular thin plate shape, having two male connectors ( 1 ) that have a power inlet plug ( 12 ) formed as a thin plate-shaped electrode on a side thereof, that have the other side to which a power connector ( 3 ) internally wired to the power inlet plug ( 12 ) is connected, and that are disposed at both ends of the power cable ( 3 );

a female connector ( 20 ) formed in a rectangular thin plate shape, having two electrodes for wiring a heating film formed as thin plate-shaped electrodes on an upper side thereof, having a power outlet socket ( 22 ) coupled to the power inlet plug ( 12 ) on each of a left side and a right side, and having a power inlet plug internally wired to the electrodes for wiring a heating film and formed as a thin plate-shaped electrode,

wherein the two electrodes for wiring a heating film of the female connector ( 20 ) are respectively wired in a plate shape to cooper electrodes 50 formed on both sides of heating films ( 5 ) that are constructed flat, the female connector ( 20 ) is connected to each of the heating films ( 5 ), main power is supplied to the power inlet plug of a female connector ( 20 ) connected to any one heating film ( 5 ) selected from the heating films ( 5 ) that are arranged, and power is sequentially connected to the heating films ( 5 ) that are arranged by the power inlet plug ( 12 ) of the male connector-dedicated connector to each of the power outlet sockets ( 22 ) formed on left and right sides of each of the female connectors ( 20 ).

8. The power connector dedicated to a heating film of claim 7 , wherein the female connector ( 20 ) further includes a protective cap ( 60 ) that covers the power inlet plug ( 12 ), so when there is no power socket ( 7 ) to be coupled to the power inlet plug ( 12 ) of the female connector ( 20 ), electrical safety is performed by covering the power inlet plug ( 12 ) of the female connector ( 20 ) with the protective cap ( 60 ).
