Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of radio frequency coaxial connectors, and in particular to a radio frequency coaxial connector and a shielding sleeve thereof. Background Art

[0002] The contact part of the coaxial radio frequency connector includes a shielding sleeve, an insulator and an inner conductor arranged in the shielding sleeve. The inner conductor is used for transmitting signals, and the shielding sleeve is used for shielding signals.

[0003] The invention patent document with the authorization announcement number US10826216B2 and the authorization announcement date of November 3, 2020 discloses a shielding sleeve, such as Figure 1 As shown, a connecting ring 101 is provided at the front end of the shielding sleeve, and a bevel 102 is provided circumferentially of the connecting ring 101 to provide a deformation margin for the connecting ring 101 to shrink radially inward during the process of connector plugging. A plurality of elastic contact fingers 103 are provided on the rear side of the connecting ring 101, and an outer protrusion 104 is provided at the front end of the elastic contact finger 103, and the outer protrusion 104 is connected to the connecting ring 101. During the plugging of the connector, under the extrusion of the plug-in sleeve, the elastic contact finger 103 and the connecting ring 101 are deformed radially inward. After being plugged in place, the outer protrusion 104 on the elastic contact finger 103 elastically presses against the wall of the plug-in sleeve, which can ensure that the two connectors are not loose after being connected. However, the structural setting of the above-mentioned shielding sleeve requires a larger plugging and pulling force during the plugging of the two connectors.

[0004] Another utility model patent document with authorization announcement number CN212060720U and authorization announcement date of December 1, 2020 discloses a high-frequency female data connection terminal for automobiles, which is the contact part of the coaxial RF connector, such as Figure 2 As shown, the outer conductor 105 in the connecting terminal is the shielding sleeve, and the front end of the elastic contact finger, i.e., the front spring piece 106, on the shielding sleeve is suspended in the air. During the plugging process of the connector, the front spring piece 106 will be retracted toward the radial inner side of the shielding sleeve. After being plugged in, the front end of the front spring piece 106 elastically presses against the inner wall of the plug-in cylinder to prevent the two connectors from loosening. The shielding sleeve setting of this structure can reduce the plugging and unplugging force required during the plugging and unplugging process of the two connectors. However, the shielding sleeve structure of the above structure cannot ensure absolute coaxial plugging during the plugging and unplugging of the two connectors. The skewed plugging will cause the front spring piece at the front end of the shielding sleeve to be against the cylinder wall of the plug-in sleeve, thereby causing damage to the front spring piece and failure of signal shielding. Summary of the invention

[0009] Furthermore, the two first elastic contact fingers are deformation opening contact fingers, the deformation opening contact fingers are located at two sides of the deformation opening in the circumferential direction, and a deformation groove communicating with the deformation opening is formed between the two deformation opening contact fingers.

[0014] The beneficial effect is that the above structural arrangement can help to make the shielding sleeve evenly stressed in the circumferential direction after the two connectors are plugged into place.

[0047] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with embodiments.

[0048] Specific embodiment 1 of the radio frequency coaxial connector provided by the present invention:

[0049] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the RF coaxial connector includes a shielding sleeve 1, an inner conductor 3 and an insulator 2. The inner conductor 3 is located in the shielding sleeve 1 and plays a role in signal transmission. The inner conductor 3 is coaxially arranged with the shielding sleeve 1, and the insulator 2 is located between the inner conductor 3 and the shielding sleeve 1. The front end of the RF coaxial connector is a plug-in end. The shielding sleeve 1 includes a plug-in part 6, a middle part 5 and a cable connecting part 4 arranged from front to back. A window 14 is provided on the wall of the cable connecting part 4 to facilitate welding of the coaxial cable and the shielding sleeve 1. A spike 15 is provided on the inner wall of the cable connecting part 4 to facilitate connection with the coaxial cable by cold pressing.

[0050] In this embodiment, Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the inner diameter of the plug-in part 6 is smaller than the inner diameter of the middle part 5 to form an axial front stop surface between the plug-in part 6 and the middle part 5 in the shielding sleeve 1, and a circumferential annular groove is provided between the cable connecting part 4 and the middle part 5, and the circumferential annular groove is arranged to protrude radially inward to form an axial rear stop surface facing the front between the middle part 5 and the cable connecting part 4, and the insulator 2 is assembled in the middle part 5 of the shielding sleeve 1, and the shielding sleeve 1 is rolled into shape. Before rolling, the insulator 2 is placed in the middle part 5 and is located between the front stop surface and the rear stop surface. After the shielding sleeve is rolled into shape, the insulator 2 can be prevented from falling out of the shielding sleeve 1 under the stopping action of the front and rear stop surfaces.

[0051] Specifically, in this embodiment, Figures 3 to 7 As shown, the shielding sleeve 1 has a rolled seam 13, and a connecting ring 7 is provided at the front end of the plug-in part 6 of the shielding sleeve 1. The connecting ring 7 has a deformation opening 8 in the circumferential direction. The deformation opening 8 is located at the rolled seam 13 of the shielding sleeve 1, which is convenient for the processing of the deformation opening 8 on the shielding sleeve 1, and the width of the deformation opening 8 is greater than the width of the rolled seam 13. When the two connectors are plugged together, the setting of the deformation opening 8 can provide a margin for the connecting ring 7 at the front end of the shielding sleeve 1 to shrink and deform radially inward.

[0052] like Figures 4 to 9 As shown, the plug-in portion 6 of the shielding sleeve 1 is provided with circumferentially arranged first elastic contact fingers 9 and second elastic contact fingers 10 on the rear side of the connecting ring 7, four first elastic contact fingers 9 are provided, three second elastic contact fingers 10 are provided, and the first elastic contact fingers 9 and the second elastic contact fingers 10 are staggered in the circumferential direction, and the second elastic contact finger 10 is located between two adjacent first elastic contact fingers 9 arranged in the circumferential direction, and the first elastic contact fingers 9 and the second elastic contact fingers 10 are both formed by stamping and bending the barrel wall of the shielding sleeve 1. Specifically, the first elastic contact finger 9 and the second elastic contact finger 10 both include a contact arm extending from the back to the front and an outer protrusion arranged at the front end of the contact arm, the radial inner surface and the radial outer surface of the outer protrusion are both arc-shaped outer convex surfaces protruding toward the radial outside, the outer protrusion on the first elastic contact finger 9 is the first outer protrusion 11, and the outer protrusion on the second elastic contact finger 10 is the second outer protrusion 12. The difference between the two types of elastic contact fingers is that the front end of the first outer protrusion 11 on the first elastic contact finger 9 is connected to the connecting ring 7, the second outer protrusion 12 on the second elastic contact finger 10 is not connected to the connecting ring 7, and in the natural state, the front end of the second outer protrusion 12 on the second elastic contact finger 10 is suspended.

[0053] When two connectors are plugged in, the outer protrusions of the two types of elastic contacts are deformed radially inward under the squeezing effect on the inner wall of the plug-in tube. Since the front end of the second elastic contact finger 10 is suspended in the air, the squeezing force between the second elastic contact finger 10 and the inner wall of the plug-in tube can be reduced, thereby reducing the friction resistance when the two connectors are plugged in, and the plug-in and pull-out force when the connectors are connected and disconnected can be reduced.

[0054] In order to prevent the front end of the plug-in barrel from axially abutting against the second elastic contact finger 10 during the plug-in process of the two connectors, thereby damaging the shielding sleeve 1 and causing shielding failure, in this embodiment, Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, the maximum distance between the front end face of the second outer protrusion 12 and the central axis of the shielding sleeve 1 is smaller than the maximum distance between the outer peripheral surface of the connecting ring 7 and the central axis of the shielding sleeve 1, so as to ensure that after the connecting ring 7 enters the insert cylinder body, the front end face of the second outer protrusion 12 does not contact the insert cylinder body. In addition, the maximum distance between the outer peripheral surface of the first outer protrusion 11 and the central axis of the shielding sleeve 1 is greater than the maximum distance between the outer peripheral surface of the connecting ring 7 and the central axis of the shielding sleeve 1, and the maximum distance between the outer peripheral surface of the second outer protrusion 12 and the central axis of the shielding sleeve 1 is greater than the maximum distance between the outer peripheral surface of the connecting ring 7 and the central axis of the shielding sleeve 1, so as to ensure that after the connecting ring 7 enters the insert cylinder body, the outer peripheral surfaces of the first outer protrusion and the second outer protrusion 12 are both pressed into contact with the inner wall surface of the insert cylinder body.

[0055] In this embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the rolled seam 13 is located between two adjacent first elastic contact fingers 9 in the circumferential direction, and the two first elastic contact fingers 9 are located on both sides of the deformation opening 8 in the circumferential direction to form deformation opening contact fingers, and the circumferential width of the deformation opening contact fingers is smaller than the width of the remaining first elastic contact fingers 9. A deformation groove is provided between the two deformation opening contact fingers, and the deformation groove is connected to the deformation opening 8 on the connecting ring 7, and the circumferential width of the deformation groove is equal to the circumferential width of the deformation opening 8. The provision of the deformation groove helps to shrink and deform the two deformation opening contact fingers toward the radial inner side, and helps to reduce the plugging and unplugging force when the two connectors are connected and disconnected.

[0056] In this embodiment, Figures 4 to 10 As shown, a chamfer is provided between the outer circumferential surface and the front end surface of the connecting ring 7, which can provide guidance for the coaxial plugging of the shielding sleeve 1 and the plug-in cylinder, thereby facilitating the smooth plugging of the two connectors.

[0057] Specific embodiment 2 of the radio frequency coaxial connector of the present invention:

[0058] The difference from specific embodiment 1 is that: three first elastic contact fingers are provided, and the circumferential widths of the first elastic contact fingers are equal, four second elastic contact fingers are provided, the first elastic contact finger is located between two adjacent second elastic contact fingers arranged in the circumferential direction, the rolled seam is located between two adjacent second elastic contact fingers in the circumferential direction, the two second elastic contact fingers are located on both sides of the deformation opening in the circumferential direction to form deformation opening contact fingers, the circumferential width of the deformation opening contact fingers is smaller than the width of the remaining second elastic contact fingers, and a deformation groove is provided between the two deformation opening contact fingers, the deformation groove is connected to the deformation opening on the connecting ring, and the circumferential width of the deformation groove is equal to the circumferential width of the deformation opening, and the provision of the deformation groove helps to shrink and deform the two deformation opening contact fingers toward the radial inside, which helps to reduce the plugging and unplugging force when the two connectors are connected and disconnected.

[0059] In other embodiments, the shielding sleeve is not provided with deformation opening contact fingers, and three of each type of elastic contact fingers are provided and are staggered in the circumferential direction. No slots are provided on the two types of elastic contact fingers. The shielding sleeve with such a structural arrangement can also provide deformation margin for the connecting ring to shrink radially inward during the process of plugging the two connectors.

[0060] Specific embodiment 3 of the radio frequency coaxial connector of the present invention:

[0061] The difference from specific embodiment 1 is that the front end face and the outer peripheral surface of the connecting ring are transitioned through an arc surface, which can also provide guidance for the coaxial plugging of the shielding sleeve and the plug-in cylinder during the plug-in process of the two connectors, thereby facilitating the smooth plug-in of the two connectors.

[0062] Specific embodiment 4 of the radio frequency coaxial connector of the present invention:

[0063] The difference from the specific embodiment 1 is that no second elastic contact finger may be provided between two first elastic contact fingers arranged adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction, and the two first elastic contact fingers arranged adjacent to each other are transitioned through the wall of the shielding sleeve.

[0064] In other embodiments, four second elastic contact fingers are provided, three first elastic contact fingers are provided, no first elastic contact finger may be provided between two circumferentially adjacent second elastic contact fingers, and the wall of the shielding sleeve is used as a transition between two adjacent second elastic contact fingers.

[0065] In other embodiments, the number of the first elastic contact fingers and the number of the second elastic contact fingers can be respectively set to be more than four, as long as the two types of elastic contact fingers are staggered in the circumferential direction.

[0066] Specific embodiment 5 of the radio frequency coaxial connector of the present invention:

[0067] The difference from the specific embodiment 1 is that the circumferential rolled seam of the shielding sleeve is located at the second elastic contact finger portion in the circumferential direction.

[0068] Or in other embodiments, two adjacent second elastic contact fingers are transitioned through the wall of the shielding sleeve, and the rolled seam is arranged at the position of this part of the wall in the circumferential direction.

[0069] Specific embodiment 6 of the radio frequency coaxial connector of the present invention:

[0070] The difference from the specific embodiment 1 is that the shielding sleeve is formed by machining, no rolling seam is provided on the shielding sleeve, and the circumferential annular groove between the cable connecting part and the middle part is formed by necking and deformation after the insulator is installed in the shielding sleeve.

[0071] In other embodiments, the shielding sleeve can also be formed by casting. No rolling seam is set on the shielding sleeve. The circumferential annular groove between the cable connecting part and the middle part is formed after the shielding sleeve is cast and after the insulator is installed in the shielding sleeve and is necked and deformed.

[0072] Specific implementation of the shielding sleeve provided by the present invention:

[0073] The structure of the shielding sleeve is the same as the structure of the shielding sleeve in the specific implementation of the above-mentioned radio frequency coaxial connector, and will not be repeated here.

[0074] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the aforementioned embodiments without creative work, or replace some of the technical features therein with equivalents.
