Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of radio frequency connector production, and more particularly to an intelligent test device for radio frequency connector connection performance. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, when testing an RF connector, the RF connector is first inserted into a tester to connect the RF connector to the circuit in the tester, and then the transmission stability of the RF connector is tested through the tester. However, the pins of some RF connectors are exposed, resulting in pin collision during the transfer of the RF connector, which in turn causes the pins to bend. When the RF connector with bent pins is connected to the tester for testing, the insertion fails, resulting in test failure.

[0003] Therefore, existing equipment will set up a detection mechanism and a correction mechanism above the test machine. When testing the RF connector, the pins of the RF connector are first detected by the detection mechanism. When the pins are detected to be bent, the bent pins are corrected by the correction mechanism, and then the RF connector is inserted into the test machine for testing. The operation process is cumbersome and inefficient. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcoming of low efficiency of existing equipment in testing radio frequency connectors with bent pins, the present invention provides an intelligent testing device for the connection performance of radio frequency connectors.

[0005] The technical solution is:

[0006] A radio frequency connector connection performance intelligent test device includes a tester and a socket; the tester is equipped with several sockets; it also includes a connecting block, a cylinder, a spring 1 and a round rod; each socket is fixedly connected to a connecting block; each connecting block is slidably connected to several cylinders; each cylinder is fixedly connected to a spring 1, and the other end of the spring 1 is fixedly connected to the corresponding socket; each socket is fixedly connected to several round rods, the round rods are connected to the tester, and the round rods are slidably connected to the corresponding cylinders; each cylinder is provided with a conical surface portion 1; each round rod is provided with a conical surface portion 2, and the conical surface portion 2 and the corresponding conical surface portion 1 are located on the same conical surface.

[0007] Furthermore, it also includes a limiting component; the limiting component is connected to the socket; the limiting component includes a limiting block and a linkage unit; each socket is slidably connected with at least two limiting blocks, and the limiting blocks are located on the lower side of the corresponding cylinder; the socket is connected to the linkage unit, and the linkage unit is used to drive the limiting block to move horizontally.

[0008] Furthermore, the linkage unit includes a linkage block and a spring 2; at least two linkage blocks are fixedly connected to each limit block, and the linkage blocks cooperate with the RF connector body; a spring 2 is commonly fixedly connected between each linkage block and the corresponding socket; four inclined portions are provided on the RF connector body, and the inclined portions cooperate with the corresponding linkage blocks.

[0009] Furthermore, the linkage block is configured to be made of a non-conductive wear-resistant material.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes an auxiliary component; the auxiliary component is connected to the cylinder; the auxiliary component includes a ring, a spring three, a pressure sensor and a buzzer; each cylinder is slidably connected to a ring; at least two springs three are fixedly connected between each ring and the corresponding cylinder; a pressure sensor is fixedly connected between each ring and the corresponding cylinder; and a buzzer is installed on the tester.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes friction blocks; at least four friction blocks are fixedly connected to each socket.

[0012] Furthermore, the friction block is detachably connected to the corresponding socket.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a clamping assembly; the clamping assembly is connected to the socket; the clamping assembly includes a fixed block, a spring four and a pipe; each socket is sealed and slidably connected to at least two fixed blocks; at least two springs four are fixedly connected between each fixed block and the corresponding socket; each socket is fixedly connected to at least two pipes.

[0014] Furthermore, the fixing block is provided with a plurality of grooves.

[0015] Furthermore, a chamfer is provided at the opening of the socket.

[0016] The beneficial effects are:

[0017] 1. Manually, the RF connector body only needs to be inserted into the socket, and the cylinder and the round rod can cooperate to automatically test the RF connector body with bent pins. Compared with existing equipment, this equipment does not need to perform pin bend detection and pin bend correction operations, eliminating work steps and helping to improve efficiency. At the same time, through the cooperation of the cylinder and the spring, after the cylinder guides the pin part, it can automatically avoid downward, so that the relatively short pin part can still be stably inserted into the round rod, thereby ensuring the stability of the RF connector body test operation. At the same time, the avoidance process of the cylinder is completed in conjunction with the insertion of the RF connector body, and the structure is ingenious.

[0018] Second, the cylinder is blocked and limited by the limit block to prevent it from moving downward, thus avoiding the problem of RF connector body test failure caused by the misalignment of the cone surface part 1 and the cone surface part 2. The limit block can be automatically unlocked as the RF connector body is inserted, without the need for an additional electric drive component, and the structure is ingenious.

[0019] Third, by cooperating with the ring and pressure sensor, RF connector bodies with excessively large pin bend angles can be automatically screened out during manual insertion of the RF connector body, thereby avoiding misjudgment by the tester when testing an unconnected RF connector body;

[0020] 4. When manually inserting the RF connector body into the socket, friction is generated between the RF connector body and the friction block, causing the RF connector body to slide down in a damped manner, greatly reducing the movement speed of the RF connector body, thereby effectively avoiding the problem of further bending the pin portion. At the same time, the RF connector body is clamped by the fixing block, further avoiding the problem of bending the pin portion. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] An intelligent test device for the connection performance of radio frequency connectors, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, it includes a tester 1 and a socket 2; four sockets 2 are installed on the tester 1, and the sockets 2 are set to plastic material; it also includes a connecting block 3, a cylinder 4, a spring 5 and a round rod 6; each socket 2 is fixedly connected to a connecting block 3; each connecting block 3 is slidably connected to three cylinders 4; each cylinder 4 is fixedly connected to a spring 5, and the other end of the spring 5 is fixedly connected to the corresponding socket 2; each socket 2 is fixedly connected to three round rods 6, the round rods 6 are connected to the tester 1, and the round rods 6 are slidably connected to the corresponding cylinder 4; each cylinder 4 is provided with a conical surface part 92; each round rod 6 is provided with a conical surface part 93, and the conical surface part 93 and the corresponding conical surface part 92 are located on the same conical surface.

[0032] It also includes a limiting component; the limiting component is connected to the socket 2; the limiting component includes a limiting block 201 and a linkage unit; each socket 2 is slidably connected to two limiting blocks 201, and the limiting blocks 201 are located on the lower side of the corresponding cylinder 4, and the cylinder 4 is supported and limited by the limiting blocks 201; the socket 2 is connected to a linkage unit.

[0033] The linkage unit includes a linkage block 202 and a spring 203; each limit block 201 is bolted to at least two linkage blocks 202; each linkage block 202 and the corresponding socket 2 are commonly fixed with a spring 203, and the spring 203 is set to an alloy material; four inclined portions 94 are set on the RF connector body 7.

[0034] The linkage block 202 is made of a non-conductive, wear-resistant material to increase the service life of the linkage block 202 and reduce the risk of short circuits.

[0035] During the test, the RF connector body 7 is manually inserted downward into the socket 2 until the RF connector body 7 just contacts the cylinder 4. During this process, if the pin portion 91 does not bend, the lower end of the pin portion 91 is directly inserted downward into the round rod 6. If the pin portion 91 is bent, the pin portion 91 first contacts the conical portion 1 92 during the downward movement. The RF connector body 7 continues to move downward, so that the conical portion 1 92 guides the lower end of the pin portion 91, so that the lower end of the pin portion 91 moves to the conical portion 2 93. The RF connector body 7 continues to move downward, so that the conical portion 2 93 guides the lower end of the pin portion 91, so that the lower end of the pin portion 91 is inserted into the round rod 6, thereby electrically connecting the pin portion 91 to the round rod 6. Then, the RF connector body 7 is tested by the tester 1.

[0036] In order to ensure that the pin portion 91 of various bending angles can be smoothly inserted into the conical surface portion 92, the diameter of the opening on the conical surface portion 92 should be set large enough, and in order to ensure the guiding effect of the conical surface portion 92 on the pin portion 91, the slope of the conical surface portion 92 should also be set large enough, which results in the height of the conical surface portion 92 being relatively large, and the length of the pin portion 91 being relatively small, resulting in that after the pin portion 91 is inserted into the round rod 6, only a very small part of the pin portion 91 is in contact with the round rod 6, resulting in low connection stability, and further resulting in low stability of the test operation. Therefore, when the RF connector body 7 is in contact with the cylinder 4 and the lower end of the pin portion 91 is inserted into the round rod 6, the RF connector body 7 is manually pushed downward until the RF connector body 7 is tightly inserted into the socket 2. During this process, the RF connector body 7 pushes the cylinder 4 downward and presses the spring 1 on the pin portion 91. 5 is compressed, so that the pin portion 91 moves downward and is deeply inserted into the round rod 6, thereby making the pin portion 91 stably contact with the round rod 6, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the test operation. When in use, the human only needs to insert the RF connector body 7 into the socket 2, and the cylinder 4 and the round rod 6 can cooperate to automatically test the RF connector body 7 with the bent pin portion 91. Compared with the existing equipment, this equipment does not need to perform pin bending detection and pin bending correction operations, eliminates the working steps, and is beneficial to improving efficiency. At the same time, through the cooperation of the cylinder 4 and the spring 15, after the cylinder 4 completes the guidance of the pin portion 91, it can automatically avoid downward, so that the relatively short pin portion 91 can still be stably inserted into the round rod 6 to ensure the stability of the test operation of the RF connector body 7. At the same time, the avoidance process of the cylinder 4 is completed in conjunction with the insertion of the RF connector body 7, and the structure is ingenious.

[0037] When the pin portion 91 contacts the conical surface portion 1 92 and the RF connector body 7 continues to move downward, the pin portion 91 will generate a downward thrust on the cylinder 4. If the thrust is too large, the pin portion 91 will push the cylinder 4 downward and compress the spring 1 5, thereby causing the conical surface portion 1 92 and the conical surface portion 2 93 to be staggered, which makes it impossible to guide the pin portion 91 into the round rod 6, thereby causing the RF connector body 7 to fail to test. Therefore, during the process of the conical surface portion 1 92 guiding the pin portion 91, the cylinder 4 is blocked and limited by the limit block 201 to prevent the cylinder 4 from moving downward, thereby avoiding the problem of the RF connector body 7 test failure caused by the staggered conical surface portion 1 92 and the conical surface portion 2 93. When the lower end of the pin portion 91 is inserted into the round rod 6, the inclined portion 94 on the RF connector body 7 just contacts the linkage block 202, and a certain gap is formed between the RF connector body 7 and the cylinder 4. The gap is formed, and then the RF connector body 7 is manually pushed downward until the RF connector body 7 is tightly inserted into the socket 2. During this process, the RF connector body 7 pushes the linkage block 202 to move through the inclined portion 94 and compresses the spring 203, so that the linkage block 202 drives the limit block 201 away from the bottom of the cylinder 4, thereby causing the limit block 201 to stop blocking the cylinder 4. Then, the RF connector body 7 pushes the cylinder 4 downward so that the pin portion 91 can be stably and deeply inserted into the round rod 6, and then the test operation is performed. When in use, the limit block 201 blocks and limits the cylinder 4 to prevent the cylinder 4 from moving downward, thereby avoiding the problem of test failure of the RF connector body 7 caused by the misalignment of the conical portion 1 92 and the conical portion 2 93. Moreover, the limit block 201 can be automatically unlocked as the RF connector body 7 is inserted, without the need to set up an additional electric drive component, and the structure is ingenious.

[0038] Example 2

[0039] On the basis of Example 1, Figure 1 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, it also includes an auxiliary component; the auxiliary component is connected to the cylinder 4; the auxiliary component includes a ring 204, a spring three 205, a pressure sensor 206 and a buzzer 207; each cylinder 4 is slidably connected to a ring 204; two springs three 205 are fixedly connected between each ring 204 and the corresponding cylinder 4, and the spring three 205 is set to an alloy material; each ring 204 is fixedly connected to the corresponding cylinder 4 with a pressure sensor 206, and the pressure sensor 206 is used to monitor whether the ring 204 is under force; a buzzer 207 is installed on the tester 1.

[0040] The conical surface part 1 92 cannot guide the pin part 91 with an excessively large bending angle. Therefore, when the RF connector body 7 is manually inserted into the socket 2, the lower end of the pin part 91 with an excessively large bending angle will exceed the range covered by the opening on the conical surface part 1 92, that is, the lower end of the pin part 91 with an excessively large bending angle will contact the ring 204. When the RF connector body 7 continues to move downward, the pin part 91 pushes the ring 204 downward and compresses the spring 3 205. The downward movement of the ring 204 compresses the pressure sensor 206, so that the pressure sensor 206 detects the pressure. At this time, the pressure sensor 206 is pressed against the pressure sensor 206. The force sensor 206 transmits a signal to the buzzer 207, causing the buzzer 207 to sound an alarm. After hearing the alarm, the operator stops inserting the RF connector body 7 and pulls out the RF connector body 7 to avoid the tester 1 from misjudging the RF connector body 7 when testing an unconnected RF connector body 7. When in use, the ring 204 and the pressure sensor 206 cooperate to automatically screen out the RF connector body 7 with a pin portion 91 with an excessively large bending angle during the process of manually inserting the RF connector body 7 to avoid the tester 1 from misjudging the RF connector body 7 when testing an unconnected RF connector body 7.

[0041] Example 3

[0042] On the basis of Example 2, Figure 7 As shown, friction blocks 208 are also included; four friction blocks 208 are fixed to each socket 2. When the RF connector body 7 is inserted into the socket 2, friction resistance is generated with the friction blocks 208, thereby causing the RF connector body 7 to be slowly inserted into the socket 2.

[0043] The friction block 208 is detachably connected to the corresponding socket 2 so as to facilitate replacement of a damaged friction block 208 .

[0044] It also includes a clamping assembly; the clamping assembly is connected to the socket 2; the clamping assembly includes a fixed block 209, a spring four 2010 and a pipe 2011; each socket 2 is sealed and slidingly connected to two fixed blocks 209; two spring four 2010 are fixedly connected between each fixed block 209 and the corresponding socket 2; and two pipes 2011 are fixedly connected to each socket 2.

[0045] The fixing block 209 is provided with a plurality of grooves for increasing friction.

[0046] The opening of the socket 2 is provided with a chamfer, so that the RF connector body 7 is easier to insert into the socket 2 .

[0047] When the pin portion 91 squeezes the pressure sensor 206 through the ring 204, if the speed of manually inserting the RF connector body 7 is too fast, the RF connector body 7 will continue to move downward for a certain distance during the period from when the pressure sensor 206 detects the pressure to when the manual alarm is heard, thereby further bending the pin portion 91 and increasing the difficulty of repairing the pin portion 91. Therefore, a friction block 208 is provided on the inner wall of the socket 2. During the process of manually inserting the RF connector body 7 into the socket 2, friction is generated between the RF connector body 7 and the friction block 208, thereby causing the RF connector body 7 to slide down in a damped manner, greatly reducing the movement speed of the RF connector body 7, thereby effectively avoiding the problem of further bending the pin portion 91.

[0048] First, the external air pump is manually connected to the pipe 2011. When the pressure sensor 206 detects the pressure, it controls the external air pump to deliver air to the pipe 2011. The air flows into the cavity where the spring four 2010 is located through the pipe 2011, thereby pushing the fixed block 209 to move through the air pressure and stretching the spring four 2010, so that the fixed block 209 clamps the RF connector body 7, further avoiding the problem of bending the pin part 91 due to manual blind pressure.

[0049] The technical principles of the embodiments of the present invention have been described above in conjunction with specific embodiments. These descriptions are intended solely to explain the principles of the embodiments of the present invention and should not be construed in any way as limiting the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the explanations herein, those skilled in the art will be able to conceive of other specific implementations of the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort, and such implementations will fall within the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present invention.
