[0032] A positioning frame 7, in which a coupling end resistor plate 8 is placed, a positioning groove 9 is provided on the side of the positioning frame 7, and a traction plate 10 is provided in the positioning groove 9;
[0033] When in use, the overall volume of the device is greatly reduced by integrating the coupler with the load and using ferrite 1 as the base material, which is convenient for integration. The output port 4, the input port 5, the coupling port 6 and the coupling end resistor plate 8 are set to effectively distribute the transmission of the power signal, and greatly improve the consistency and stability of the product, the surface flatness, and the coupling accuracy, and can perform microwave adjustment operations well. The input port 5, the output port 4, the coupling port 6, and the coupling end resistor plate 8 are formed by a vacuum sputtering process, and the coupling end resistor plate 8 is laser-trimmed, which greatly reduces the production time and improves the production efficiency.
[0034] Embodiment 2: On the basis of Embodiment 1, a positioning frame 7 is provided for the convenience of quickly installing the coupling-end resistor plate 8. There are two groups of positioning grooves 9, and the two groups of positioning grooves 9 are symmetrically distributed about the left and right of the positioning frame 7. The traction plate 10 can be displaced in the positioning groove 9. The traction plate 10 is integrally in an "L"-shaped plate structure. A traction ring 15 is arranged on the outer side surface of the traction plate 10. The traction plate 10 can cover the side surface of the positioning groove 9. When the traction plate 10 is not in use in the positioning groove 9, it is flush with the side surface of the positioning frame 7. A moving groove 16 is formed on the surface of the positioning frame 7, and the side surface of the moving groove 16 communicates with the positioning groove 9. The moving groove 16 is integrally in a square plate structure. There are multiple groups of moving grooves 16, and the multiple groups of moving grooves 16 are respectively distributed on the surfaces of the four corners of the positioning frame 7. A positioning card slot 17 is formed on the surface of the moving groove 16, and a limiting plate 18 can be inserted into the positioning card slot 17. A baffle 19 is arranged at the end surface of the limiting plate 18, and the baffle 19 can close the end surface of the moving groove 16. The limiting plate 18 is in a square plate structure. A support rod 20 is arranged at the end surface of the moving groove 16, and a limiting spring 21 and a moving plate 22 are sleeved on the surface of the support rod 20. The moving plate 22 can be displaced on the support rod 20. The moving plate 22 is integrally in a square plate structure. One end of the limiting spring 21 is fixedly connected to the end surface of the moving groove 16, and the other end of the limiting spring 21 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the moving plate 22. The inner side surface of the baffle 19 contacts the end surface of the support rod 20, and the side surface of the moving plate 22 is connected to the side surface of the traction plate 10;
[0035] During use, first, pull the two traction plates 10 outwards through the traction ring 15 so that the traction plates 10 drive the fixing plate 23 to move backward. Then, the coupling-end resistor plate 8 can be placed in the positioning frame 7. Release the traction ring 15 so that the moving plate 22 is reset under the elastic force of the limiting spring 21. Thus, the fixing plate 23 can be inserted into the limiting card slot 32 in cooperation with the rubber plate 29, and the coupling-end resistor plate 8 can be fixedly installed in the positioning frame 7, which is convenient for installing and removing the coupling-end resistor plate 8 and avoids the problem that it is inconvenient to disassemble when welded in the ferrite 1. The setting of the limiting spring 21 can conveniently limit the fixing plate 23 to prevent the fixing plate 23 from disengaging from the limiting card slot 32, and it is also convenient for the moving plate 22 to automatically reset after pulling the moving plate 22, which is convenient for use.
[0036] By inserting the limiting plate 18 into the positioning card slot 17, it is convenient to use the baffle 19 to limit the end surface of the support rod 20 to prevent the moving plate 22 from disengaging from the support rod 20. The baffle 19 can also cooperate with the traction plate 10 to close the side surfaces of the positioning groove 9 and the moving groove 16, playing a role of filling and beautifying.
[0037] The integrated ferrite 1 is convenient for integration. The output port 4 and the input port 5 are fixedly connected to the surface of the placement groove 2. The output port 4 and the input port 5 are connected to each other through the first wire 11. The upper surfaces of the output port 4 and the input port 5 are flush with the surface of the ferrite 1. The positioning frame 7 is fixedly connected to the storage groove 3. The coupling port 6 is fixedly connected to the storage groove 3. The coupling port 6 and the coupling end resistor plate 8 are connected through the second wire 12. The second wire 12 is fixedly connected to the inside of the storage groove 3. The second wire 12 is arranged in an overall "C"-shaped structure.
[0038] During use, the ferrite 1 is polished. By integrating the coupling port 6 with each port and using the ferrite 1 as the base material, the volume of the device is greatly reduced, which is convenient for integration.
[0039] Embodiment 3: On the basis of Embodiment 2, in order to improve safety, a support plate 14 and a rubber plate 29 are provided. The positioning frame 7 is provided with heat dissipation openings 13 on the side. There are multiple groups of heat dissipation openings 13, and multiple groups of heat dissipation openings 13 are respectively distributed on the four sides of the positioning frame 7. The heat dissipation openings 13 are located at the bottom of the positioning frame 7. A support plate 14 is arranged on the inner side of the positioning frame 7. The support plate 14 is in the shape of a square plate. There are multiple groups of support plates 14, and multiple groups of support plates 14 are linearly arranged at equal intervals on the inner side of the positioning frame 7. A soft rubber pad 25 is glued to the surface of the support plate 14. The soft rubber pad 25 is in the shape of a square plate as a whole. The length of the long side of the side of the soft rubber pad 25 is less than the length of the long side of the side of the support plate 14. An installation plate 27 is sleeved on the surface of the positioning screw 26, and a limit nut 28 is screwed on the surface of the positioning screw 26. One end of the installation plate 27 is provided with a rubber plate 29. The rubber plate 29 is in the shape of an "L"-shaped plate as a whole. A buffer cavity 30 is provided on the surface of the rubber plate 29. Multiple rubber sheets 31 are arranged in the buffer cavity 30. Multiple groups of rubber sheets 31 are evenly fixed in the buffer cavity 30. A limit card slot 32 is provided on the side of the coupling end resistor plate 8. The rubber plate 29 and the fixed plate 23 can be inserted into the limit card slot 32. The side height of the rubber plate 29 is higher than the side height of the moving plate 22.
[0040] When in use, firstly, a heat dissipation port 13 opened at the bottom of the positioning frame 7 can be used to facilitate heat dissipation of the bottom of the coupling-end resistor plate 8 when working. The setting of the support frame plate 14 can facilitate the coupling-end resistor plate 8 to use the heat dissipation port 13 to dissipate heat. Then, after the coupling-end resistor plate 8 is fixed by using the fixing plate 23 and the rubber plate 29, the rubber plate 29 and the soft rubber pad 25 can be used to buffer the coupling-end resistor plate 8 to avoid the problem that the shaking impact force caused when the device is taken and shaken may cause damage to the inside of the coupling-end resistor plate 8. The buffer cavity 30 opened on the surface of the rubber plate 29 can improve the buffering effect of the rubber plate 29 on the coupling-end resistor plate 8. The setting of the rubber sheet 31 can support the inside of the rubber plate 29 on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is convenient to quickly reset the compressed rubber plate 29. The side height of the rubber plate 29 is higher than the side height of the moving plate 22, which can facilitate buffering the coupling-end resistor plate 8 so that the rubber plate 29 can withstand the impact of the coupling-end resistor plate 8.
[0041] A fixed plate 23 is disposed on the side of the movable plate 22. The fixed plate 23 is an "L"-shaped plate structure as a whole. A limiting groove 24 is provided on the surface of the fixed plate 23. A positioning screw 26 is disposed in the limiting groove 24. The positioning screw 26 is provided in multiple groups. The multiple groups of positioning screws 26 are linearly arranged equidistantly on the surface of the limiting groove 24.
[0042] When in use, the mounting plate 27 can be conveniently fixed on the positioning screw 26 by cooperating with the limiting nut 28. When the rubber plate 29 needs to be taken out, the limiting nut 28 can be directly rotated to disengage the limiting nut 28 from the positioning screw 26, which is more convenient.
[0043] In actual use, the overall volume of the device is greatly reduced by integrating the coupler with the load and using ferrite 1 as the substrate, which is convenient for integration. The output port 4, the input port 5, the coupling port 6 and the coupling end resistor plate 8 are set to effectively distribute the transmission of the power signal, and greatly improve the consistency and stability of the product, the surface flatness, and the coupling accuracy, so that microwave adjustment operations can be performed well. The input port 5, the output port 4, the coupling port 6, and the coupling end resistor plate 8 are formed by a vacuum sputtering process, and the coupling end resistor plate 8 is laser-trimmed, which greatly reduces the production time and improves the production efficiency. This avoids the current industry practice of welding chip resistors inside the cavity as loads. When the frequency band reaches 8G, various indicators will decrease due to the internal welding resistance, and the existing external loads on the market are too large in size and too expensive to meet the demand for miniaturization of isolators in radar and communication systems.
[0044] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
