A probe protrudes downward from the support member. A flange supports the support member so that the support member moves in the up-down direction and the orthogonal direction. A sliding member is supported by the flange so as to be movable in the up-down direction with respect to the flange, and has a second alignment plane facing downward.

[0003] Patent Document 1: International Publication No. 2022 / 014435

[0004] However, the inspection detector device described in Patent Document 1 may connect to the connector at a position slightly offset from directly above the connector in the front-back or left-right direction. In such cases, there is a possibility that the inspection detector may not be able to connect properly to the connector. Summary of the Invention

[0025] (Implementation Method)

[0026] [Inspect the construction of the connector]

[0027] Hereinafter, the construction of the inspection connector 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional view of the connector 10 for inspection. Figure 2 This is an exploded perspective view of connector 10 for inspection. Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 This is a cross-sectional view of connector 10 for inspection. Figure 5 This is a cross-sectional view of connector 500.

[0028] like Figures 1-5As shown, the direction in which the detector 134 extends is defined as the up-down direction. Directions orthogonal to the up-down direction are defined as the left-right and front-back directions. The left-right direction is orthogonal to the front-back direction. Furthermore, the up-down, left-right, and front-back directions are defined for ease of explanation. Therefore, the up-down, left-right, and front-back directions may not be consistent with the up-down, left-right, and front-back directions used when using the inspection connector 10. Additionally, the up and down directions, the left and right directions, and the front and back directions can be interchanged.

[0029] Connector 10 is used for measuring high-frequency signals transmitted within electronic devices such as smartphones. For example... Figures 1-3 As shown, the inspection connector 10 includes a support member 101, a flange 106, a spring 108, a sliding member 110, a spring 112, a detector 134, and an insulating support member 136 (see reference). Figure 4 ), roller (barrel) 138 (reference) Figure 4 ) and coaxial cable 202.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the support component 101 includes a plunger 102 and a housing 104. A grounding potential is connected to the plunger 102. Figure 2 As shown, the plunger 102 includes a lower plunger portion 102a and an upper plunger portion 102b. The lower plunger portion 102a has a cuboid shape. Figure 4 As shown, a through hole h extending in the upward and downward direction is provided in the lower part 102a of the plunger. The through hole h penetrates the lower part 102a of the plunger in the upward and downward direction.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, the upper plunger portion 102b is located above and connected to the lower plunger portion 102a. The upper plunger portion 102b has a cylindrical shape with a central axis extending in the upward and downward direction. Such a plunger 102 is made of a metal with high electrical conductivity. The plunger 102 is made of, for example, SUS.

[0032] exist Figure 4 The roller 138 shown is connected to a ground potential. The roller 138 has a cylindrical shape with a central axis extending in the vertical direction. The roller 138 extends vertically within a through-hole h. Furthermore, the roller 138 is supported by a plunger 102 through contact with the inner circumferential surface of the through-hole h. Therefore, the roller 138 is electrically connected to the plunger 102.

[0033] exist Figure 4The detector 134 shown transmits a high-frequency signal. Detector 134 is a terminal to which a high-frequency signal with a relatively high frequency is applied. The high-frequency signal with a relatively high frequency is, for example, a millimeter-wave signal or a microwave signal with a frequency of 0.3 GHz to 0.3 THz.

[0034] The detector 134 has a rod-like shape extending in the upward and downward direction. The detector 134 extends in the upward and downward direction within the roller 138. Therefore, the detector 134 extends in the upward and downward direction within the through hole h. The lower end of the detector 134 is located below the lower surface of the lower part 102a of the plunger. Thus, the detector 134 protrudes downward from the support member 101. Furthermore, the detector 134 does not contact the inner circumferential surface of the through hole h or the inner circumferential surface of the roller 138. Therefore, the detector 134 is not electrically connected to the plunger 102.

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, the detector 134 includes a cylindrical portion 1202, a lower probe 1204, a spring 1208, and a socket 1210. The cylindrical portion 1202 has a cylindrical shape with a central axis extending in the upward and downward direction. The upper end of the cylindrical portion 1202 is not open. The lower end of the cylindrical portion 1202 is open. The diameter of the lower end of the cylindrical portion 1202 is smaller than the diameter of the rest of the cylindrical portion 1202. That is, the cylindrical portion 1202 has a shape that is slightly tapered at the lower end.

[0036] The lower probe 1204 is a rod-shaped component extending in the upward and downward direction. The upper part of the lower probe 1204 is located inside the cylindrical portion 1202. The lower part of the lower probe 1204 protrudes downward from the cylindrical portion 1202. Furthermore, the lower probe 1204 protrudes downward from the lower surface of the plunger 102. However, the diameter of the upper part of the lower probe 1204 is larger than the diameter of the lower part. Therefore, the lower probe 1204 cannot pass downward through the opening at the lower end of the cylindrical portion 1202.

[0037] Spring 1208 is an elastic body disposed within the cylinder 1202. The lower end of spring 1208 contacts the upper end of lower probe 1204. The upper end of spring 1208 contacts the upper end of the inner circumferential surface of cylinder 1202. Thus, spring 1208 pushes lower probe 1204 downwards. The detector 134, having the above structure, can extend and retract in the vertical direction via spring 1208. The detector 134 described above is, for example, made of brass.

[0038] The socket 1210 extends upward from the upper end of the cylindrical portion 1202. The socket 1210 has a cylindrical shape with a central axis extending in the upward and downward direction. The lower end of the socket 1210 is not open. The upper end of the socket 1210 is open.

[0039] An insulating support member 136 is disposed within the roller 138. The insulating support member 136 supports the detector 134, insulating the detector 134 from the roller 138. The insulating support member 136 has an annular shape surrounding the detector 134 when viewed in the vertical direction. More specifically, the insulating support member 136 has a cylindrical shape with a central axis extending in the vertical direction. The central axis of the insulating support member 136 coincides with the central axis of the detector 134. The insulating support member 136 is located at the lower end of the roller 138. Furthermore, the detector 134 extends vertically within the insulating support member 136. Thus, the insulating support member 136 is supported by the roller 138 and supports the detector 134. That is, the detector 134 is supported by the support member 101 via the insulating support member 136 and the roller 138. Such an insulating support member 136 is made of an insulating resin. The insulating support member 136 is, for example, made of epoxy resin. Thus, detector 134 is insulated from plunger 102 and roller 138.

[0040] like Figure 4 As shown, the coaxial cable 202 includes a center conductor 204, an outer conductor 206, a first insulator 208, and a second insulator 210. The center conductor 204 is the core wire of the coaxial cable 202. Therefore, the center conductor 204 is located at the center of the coaxial cable 202. High-frequency signals are transmitted through the center conductor 204. The center conductor 204 is made of a conductor with low resistance. The center conductor 204 is, for example, made of copper.

[0041] The outer conductor 206 surrounds the central conductor 204 when viewed in an upward or downward direction. Therefore, the outer conductor 206 has a ring shape in a cross-section orthogonal to the direction in which the coaxial cable 202 extends. A grounding potential is connected to the outer conductor 206. This outer conductor 206 is made, for example, by braiding a thin wire. The outer conductor 206 is made of a conductor with low resistance. The outer conductor 206 is made of copper, for example.

[0042] A first insulator 208 insulates the center conductor 204 from the outer conductor 206. The first insulator 208 is located between the center conductor 204 and the outer conductor 206. The first insulator 208 surrounds the center conductor 204 when viewed in an upward or downward direction. The first insulator 208 is surrounded by the outer conductor 206. The first insulator 208 has a ring shape in a cross-section orthogonal to the direction of extension of the coaxial cable 202. The first insulator 208 is made of an insulating resin. For example, it is made of polyethylene. Furthermore, the first insulator 208 has multiple holes to allow the coaxial cable 202 to be flexibly deformed.

[0043] The second insulator 210 surrounds the outer conductor 206 when viewed in the upward and downward directions. Therefore, the second insulator 210 has a ring shape in a cross-section orthogonal to the direction in which the coaxial cable 202 extends. The second insulator 210 is made of an insulating resin. For example, the second insulator 210 is made of polyethylene. However, the second insulator 210 does not have multiple holes, or has fewer holes than the first insulator 208. Therefore, the second insulator 210 is less prone to deformation than the first insulator 208. Therefore, the Young's modulus of the second insulator 210 is greater than that of the first insulator 208.

[0044] The center conductor 204 includes a center conductor exposure portion P1 exposed at the lower end of the coaxial cable 202. Specifically, the center conductor 204 is exposed from the coaxial cable 202 by removing the outer conductor 206, the first insulator 208, and the second insulator 210 at the lower end of the coaxial cable 202.

[0045] The outer conductor 206 includes an outer conductor exposure portion P2 that is exposed above the center conductor exposure portion P1 of the coaxial cable 202. Specifically, the outer conductor 206 is exposed from the coaxial cable 202 by removing the second insulator 210 above the exposed portion of the center conductor 204.

[0046] The exposed portion P1 of the center conductor is inserted into the socket 1210. The exposed portion P1 of the center conductor is fixed to the socket 1210 by solder or the like (not shown). Thus, the center conductor 204 is electrically connected to the detector 134.

[0047] The exposed portion P2 of the outer conductor is inserted into the roller 138. The exposed portion P2 of the outer conductor is fixed to the roller 138 by solder or the like (not shown). Thus, the outer conductor 206 is electrically connected to the roller 138 and the plunger 102.

[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, the housing 104 includes a housing body 104a and a limiter 104b. The housing body 104a has a cylindrical shape with a central axis extending in the upward and downward directions.

[0049] A limiter 104b is disposed at the upper end of the housing body 104a. The limiter 104b has a plate shape with a first alignment plane S1 facing upward. Thus, the support member 101 also has a first alignment plane S1 facing upward. The first alignment plane S1 is orthogonal to the vertical direction. The limiter 104b protrudes from the housing body 104a in the forward and backward directions as well as the left and right directions. Thus, when viewed in the vertical direction, the outer edge of the housing body 104a is contained within the outer edge of the limiter 104b.

[0050] The lower end of the housing 104 described above is inserted into the upper part 102b of the plunger. Furthermore, the housing 104 is fixed to the upper part 102b of the plunger. Such a housing 104 is made of a metal with high electrical conductivity. For example, the housing 104 is made of SUS.

[0051] like Figure 3 As shown, flange 106 includes a base plate 106a and a guide member 106b. The base plate 106a is a plate-shaped member with a through hole H extending vertically. The base plate 106a is rectangular when viewed from below. The base plate 106a is positioned near the upper end of the housing 104 in the vertical direction. The through hole H extends vertically through the base plate 106a. The diameter of the through hole H is larger than the diameter of the housing body 104a. The housing body 104a passes through the through hole H in the vertical direction. Thus, the base plate 106a supports the support member 101, allowing the support member 101 to move vertically and in orthogonal directions. However, the range of motion of the support member 101 relative to the base plate 106a in the vertical direction is larger than the range of motion of the support member 101 relative to the base plate 106a in the orthogonal direction.

[0052] Furthermore, the diameter of the through hole H in the base plate 106a is smaller than the length of the limiter 104b in both the front-rear direction and the left-right direction. Therefore, the limiter 104b cannot pass downwards through the through hole H. Moreover, a recess G is provided on the first alignment plane S1 of the base plate 106a. When viewed in the up-down direction, the recess G surrounds the through hole H. When viewed in the up-down direction, the shape of the recess G matches the shape of the limiter 104b. Thus, when the support member 101 is located at the lower end of its movable range relative to the base plate 106a (flange), the limiter 104b is located within the recess G. At this time, the support member 101 will not move orthogonally relative to the base plate 106a (flange). Such a base plate 106a is made of a metal with high electrical conductivity. For example, the base plate 106a is made of SUS.

[0053] The spring 108 (first repulsion generating component) is an elastic body connected to the plunger 102 (support component) and the base plate 106a (flange). Specifically, the upper end of the spring 108 contacts the lower surface of the base plate 106a. The lower end of the spring 108 contacts the upper surface of the upper part 102b of the plunger. Furthermore, the housing body 104a extends vertically within the spring 108. Moreover, the spring 108 (first repulsion generating component) pushes the plunger 102 (support component) downwards. More specifically, the plunger 102 and the housing 104 are integrated. Therefore, if the plunger 102 is pushed upwards, the spring 108 contracts, and the plunger 102 and the housing 104 are displaced upwards relative to the base plate 106a. At this time, the spring 108 pushes the plunger 102 and the housing 104 downwards.

[0054] like Figure 2 As shown, the guide member 106b is located on the base plate 106a. The guide member 106b is fixed to the base plate 106a. The guide member 106b has a cylindrical shape with a central axis extending in the upward and downward direction. Figure 3 As shown, the central axis of the guide member 106b coincides with the central axis of the through hole H. Furthermore, the lower surface of the guide member 106b is open, while the upper surface is not.

[0055] like Figure 3 As shown, the sliding member 110 is located on the housing 104 (support member) and is supported by the guide member 106b (flange) to be movable in the vertical direction relative to the base plate 106a (flange). More specifically, the sliding member 110 includes a sliding member body 110a and sliding member support portions 110b and 110c. The sliding member body 110a has a cylindrical shape with a central axis extending in the vertical direction. The sliding member body 110a is located inside the guide member 106b. The sliding member body 110a is movable in the vertical direction along the inner circumferential surface of the guide member 106b.

[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, the sliding member support 110b extends to the left from the lower end of the sliding member body 110a. However, the left end of the sliding member support 110b bends downward. The sliding member support 110c extends to the right from the lower end of the sliding member body 110a. However, the right end of the sliding member support 110c bends downward. Thus, the sliding member supports 110b and 110c (sliding members) have a second alignment plane S2 facing downward. The second alignment plane S2 is orthogonal to the vertical direction. The second alignment plane S2 is located above the lower ends of the sliding member supports 110b and 110c. The lower ends of the sliding member supports 110b and 110c are in contact with the base plate 106a, so the second alignment plane S2 is not in contact with the base plate 106a. Therefore, as Figure 3 As shown, when the housing 104 (support member) is located at the lower end of its movable range relative to the base plate 106a (flange), the first alignment plane S1 is opposite to the second alignment plane S2 via the gap Sp. That is, the first alignment plane S1 does not contact the second alignment plane S2.

[0057] Spring 112 (the second repulsion generating component) is an elastic body connected to sliding component 110 and guide component 106b (flange). Specifically, spring 112 is located inside guide component 106b. The upper end of spring 112 contacts the upper end of the inner circumferential surface of guide component 106b. The lower end of spring 112 contacts the upper surface of sliding component 110. Thus, spring 112 (the second repulsion generating component) pushes sliding component 110 downward.

[0058] The above-mentioned inspection connector 10 is used to have Figure 5 Inspection of the electronic equipment represented by connector 500. Connector 500 includes an outer conductor 502 and a center conductor 504. The outer conductor 502 is connected to ground potential. High-frequency signals are input and output through the center conductor 504.

[0059] The operation of the inspection connector 10 will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figures 6-9 This is a cross-sectional view showing the process of inspecting the connection between connector 10 and connector 500.

[0060] The inspection connector 10 is placed on top of the connector 500. Then, the inspection connector 10 is lowered. Thus, as... Figure 6 As shown, plunger 102 contacts connector 500. However, inspection connector 10 is slightly offset to the left relative to connector 500.

[0061] If the connector 10 is lowered further during inspection, then as follows Figure 7 As shown, the connector 10 is subjected to force from the connector 500, and the housing 104 is tilted relative to the vertical direction. In this embodiment, the housing 104 is tilted to the left relative to the vertical direction. Although not shown in the figure, the detector 134 is also tilted to the left relative to the vertical direction. At this time, the first alignment plane S1 is also tilted relative to the left and right directions. Specifically, the right end of the first alignment plane S1 is above the left end of the first alignment plane S1. Thus, the right end of the first alignment plane S1 comes into contact with the second alignment plane S2.

[0062] If the connector 10 is lowered further during inspection, then as follows Figure 8 As shown, the limiter 104b protrudes beyond the recess G. This allows the housing 104 to move orthogonally relative to the base plate 106a. In this embodiment, the housing 104 moves slightly to the left relative to the base plate 106a. This causes the first alignment plane S1 to contact the second alignment plane S2. At this time, the detector 134 extends in the vertical direction. That is, the detector 134 is not tilted relative to the vertical direction. Furthermore, the inspection connector 10 is properly connected to the connector 500.

[0063] If the connector 10 is lowered further during inspection, then as follows Figure 9As shown, the first alignment plane S1 pushes the second alignment plane S2 upward. This, in turn, pushes the sliding member 110 upward through the housing 104. Then, the spring 112 contracts, and the sliding member 110 moves upward relative to the base plate 106a. At this time, the springs 108 and 112 push the detector 134 and the plunger 102 downward. Therefore, the detector 134 is pressed more forcefully against the center conductor 504, and the plunger 102 is pressed more forcefully against the outer conductor 502.

[0064] [Effect]

[0065] According to the inspection connector 10, even if the inspection connector 10 is offset relative to the connector 500 in the forward / backward or left / right direction, the inspection connector 10 can still properly connect with the connector 500. More specifically, the base plate 106a supports the housing 104 so that the housing 104 can move in the up / down direction and the orthogonal direction. Thus, as Figure 6 As shown, when the connector 10 is slightly offset to the left relative to the connector 500, the housing 104 can tilt to the left relative to the vertical direction. Furthermore, as... Figure 8 As shown, if the inspection connector 10 is lowered further, the first alignment plane S1 contacts the second alignment plane S2, and the detector 134 extends in the vertical direction. Consequently, the detector 134 and the plunger 102 move slightly to the left relative to the base plate 106a, positioned directly above the connector 500. Then, the inspection connector 10 is properly connected to the connector 500.

[0066] According to the inspection connector 10, the inspection connector 10 can also be properly connected to the connector 500 for the following reasons. More specifically, as Figure 7 As shown, when housing 104 is tilted, only spring 108 contracts. Therefore, housing 104 can be easily tilted. In other words, the left-right position of detector 134 and plunger 102 can be corrected with a relatively small force. Furthermore, when checking the connection between connector 10 and connector 500, as... Figure 9 As shown, springs 108 and 112 contract. This causes springs 108 and 112 to push detector 134 and plunger 102 downwards with greater force. Consequently, detector 134 and plunger 102 are pressed into connector 500, and inspection connector 10 is properly connected to connector 500.

[0067] In addition, such as Figure 7 As shown, when the plunger 102 contacts the connector 500, the spring 108 contracts, while the spring 112 does not. This prevents the plunger 102 from contacting the connector 500 with excessive force. Consequently, damage to both the plunger 102 and the connector 500 can be prevented.

[0068] Furthermore, the first alignment plane S1 and the second alignment plane S2 are orthogonal to the vertical direction. Therefore, the detector 134 and the plunger 102 can easily move relative to the base plate 106a in any direction, either forward / backward or left / right.

[0069] (Other implementation methods)

[0070] The inspection connector of the present invention is not limited to the inspection connector 10 of the above embodiment, and can be modified within the scope of its spirit.

[0071] Furthermore, the number of detectors in the inspection connector 10 is not limited to one. The number of detectors can also be multiple.

[0072] Furthermore, in the inspection connector 10, the detector 134 may not have a structure that allows it to extend and retract in the up and down directions.

[0073] Alternatively, rubber or magnets can be used as repulsive force generating components to replace springs 108 and 112.

[0074] Furthermore, the first alignment plane S1 and the second alignment plane S2 do not necessarily have to be orthogonal to the vertical direction. The first alignment plane S1 and the second alignment plane S2 only need to be within... Figure 3 As shown, they should be parallel.

[0075] Furthermore, the construction of the guide member 106b and the sliding member 110 is not limited to the illustrated construction. For example, the sliding member 110 may have an annular shape when viewed in the up-down direction. In this case, the guide member 106b is a rod-shaped member extending in the up-down direction. The guide member 106b passes through the sliding member 110 in the up-down direction. Moreover, the sliding member 110 is movable relative to the guide member 106b in the up-down direction.

[0076] Furthermore, the spring constants of springs 108 and 112 may not be constant. That is, springs 108 and 112 may also have spring constants with a non-linear relationship between compressive force and contraction. In this case, the spring constant in the region with relatively large compressive force is larger than the spring constant in the region with relatively small compressive force.

[0077] The present invention has the following structure.

[0078] (1) A connector for inspection, comprising:

[0079] The support component has a first alignment plane facing upwards;

[0080] The detector is supported by the aforementioned support member and protrudes downward from the aforementioned support member;

[0081] The flange supports the aforementioned support member so that the support member can move in the up-down direction and in a direction orthogonal to the up-down direction;

[0082] The first repulsive force generating component is connected to the aforementioned support component and the aforementioned flange, and pushes the aforementioned support component downward;

[0083] The sliding member, located on the aforementioned support member and supported by the aforementioned flange, is a sliding member capable of moving up and down relative to the aforementioned flange, and has a second alignment plane facing downward; and

[0084] The second repulsive force generating component is connected to the aforementioned sliding component and the aforementioned flange, and pushes the aforementioned sliding component downward.

[0085] When the support member is located at the lower end of its movable range relative to the flange, the first alignment plane is opposite to the second alignment plane via the gap.

[0086] When the first alignment plane and the second alignment plane come into contact, the detector extends in the upward and downward directions.

[0087] (2) According to the inspection connector described in (1),

[0088] When the support member is located at the lower end of its movable range relative to the flange, the support member does not move relative to the flange in the orthogonal direction.
