[0031] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0032] See also Figures 1 to 14 As shown, a coaxial connector for a vehicle-mounted camera includes a metal rear shell 1 and a plug-in conductive component.

[0033] In the present application, the metal back shell 1 for the vehicle-mounted camera is the prior art, and the metal back shell 1 is provided with a plug-in cavity 11, the inner end of the plug-in cavity 11 is connected to the inside of the metal back shell 1, and the plug-in cavity 11 is used to plug in the wiring harness and the conductive component. The change of the appearance structure of the metal back shell 1 is not a limitation to the protection of the present application.

[0034] In the present application, the plug-in conductive assembly is composed of an inner conductor 23, an insulator 22 and an outer conductor 21 arranged from inside to outside, and the insulator 22 is an insulator formed by sintering glass or ceramic. The inner conductor 23 is made of expansion alloy, and the outer conductor 21 is made of nickel-based high-temperature alloy. The insulator 22 is sintered between the outer conductor 21 and the inner conductor 23, and compressive stress is more easily generated between the glass or ceramic and the inner conductor 23 and the outer conductor 21, thereby improving the microscopic bonding degree of the glass or ceramic and the metal to each other, and greatly reducing the possibility of leakage during the sintering process or the use process.

[0035] The outer conductor 21 is in a hollow cylindrical shape, the outer end of the outer conductor 21 is inserted upward into the plug-in cavity 11, and the inner end of the outer conductor 21 is welded and sealed to the metal rear shell 1.

[0036] To facilitate positioning of the insertion depth of the outer conductor 21 , in the embodiment of the present application, an outer flange 211 is provided at the inner end of the outer conductor 21 , and the outer flange 211 is pressed against the inner end edge of the insertion cavity 11 to limit the insertion depth of the outer conductor 21 into the insertion cavity 11 .

[0037] like Figures 1 to 6 The first and second embodiments shown in FIG. Fig.11 and Fig.12 In the fifth embodiment shown, the outer flange 211 is brazed to the inner end of the plug-in cavity 11, and its specific implementation structure is as follows: a countersunk hole 111 is provided at the inner end of the plug-in cavity 11, and the bottom of the countersunk hole 111 is penetrated by the central through hole of the plug-in cavity 11. The outer conductor 21 is inserted into the plug-in cavity 11 through the central through hole at the bottom of the countersunk hole 111 until the outer flange 211 is attached to the bottom of the countersunk hole 111 to limit the depth of the outer conductor 21 inserted into the plug-in cavity 11.

[0038] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 The third embodiment shown, as Fig. 9 and Fig.10 The fourth embodiment shown is as follows: Fig.13 and Fig.14 In the sixth embodiment shown, a circle of convex edge 112 is provided at the center of the bottom of the countersunk hole 111, and the convex edge 112 is arranged around the outer circumference of the central through hole of the plug-in cavity 11. The outer flange 211 is arranged horizontally, and the outer edge of the outer flange 211 is bent upward to form a folded edge 212. The folded edge 212 is arranged to fit the outer periphery of the convex edge 112, and an area for accommodating brazing solder is formed between the folded edge 212 and the side wall of the countersunk hole 111. During brazing, the outer side of the folded edge 212 and the side wall of the plug-in cavity 1 are both brazed and welded, which increases the solder welding area and is beneficial to enhancing the welding firmness between the outer conductor 21 and the metal back shell 1.

[0039] like Fig. 9 and Fig.10In the fourth embodiment shown, the inner wall of the outer end of the outer conductor 21 is welded or riveted to hold the metal sleeve 24, which reduces the inner diameter of the outer end of the inner conductor 21 and is applied to a plug port of corresponding specifications, so that the outer conductor 21 is tightly plugged into the plug on another connector.

[0040] like Figures 11 to 14 In the fifth and sixth embodiments shown, the outer end of the outer conductor 21 has a smaller diameter than the inner end. To keep the outer diameters of both ends consistent, the outer end of the outer conductor 21 is welded or riveted to the outer wall to secure the metal sleeve 24 so that the outer conductor 21 is tightly plugged into the metal rear shell 1.

[0041] The soldering adopts tin wire 3, solder paste or other solder. In addition to soldering, a more environmentally friendly welding process can also be adopted, such as laser welding the outer edge of the outer flange 211 of the inner end of the outer conductor 21 to the inner end of the plug cavity 11.

[0042] The above are only preferred specific implementation methods of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model, who makes equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical scheme and utility model concept of the utility model, should be covered by the protection scope of the utility model.
