[0002] A radio frequency cable connector, as the name implies, is a connector used to transmit radio frequency signals. It is usually installed on a cable or device and serves as a separable element for electrical connection of a transmission line system. A radio frequency connector has the common feature of a "separable element" of a connector. At the same time, its "transmission line system" specifically refers to a microwave transmission system. Common structural forms of transmission lines include coaxial lines, and the main mode of a coaxial line is TEM wave;
[0003] For existing radio frequency cable connectors, generally one or more non-metallic media are used to support the inner conductor inside. The added support will bring about impedance changes, and one or more levels of steps need to be designed for impedance matching, which inevitably complicates the overall structure. Furthermore, the electrical performance consistency of the assembled connector will become worse, and the overall processing cost will increase. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To facilitate the assembly of the connecting guide sleeve, as a preferred radio frequency cable connector with a concise structure of the utility model, the inner diameter of the connecting guide sleeve is in interference fit with the outer diameter of the cable outlet end.
[0008] To allow the cable inner conductor to pass through the connecting guide sleeve, as a preferred radio frequency cable connector with a concise structure of the utility model, an electrical compensation ring groove is penetrated and arranged on one side of the connecting guide sleeve.
[0009] In order to facilitate the assembly and connection of the guide sleeve, as an optimized radio frequency cable connector with a concise structure of the present utility model, a groove with an annular structure is provided on the outer wall of the cable inlet end.
[0010] In order to make the connection guide sleeve more stable after assembly, as an optimized radio frequency cable connector with a concise structure of the present utility model, the number of the grooves is one or more, and when there are multiple grooves, they are arranged in a staggered tooth shape.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:
[0012] The sizes of the inner conductor, dielectric, and outer conductor of the cable are combined and shared with the connector, which greatly reduces the component composition, improves the production efficiency, reduces the processing cost, and combines multiple structures. There are only steps at the diameter of the cable dielectric and the electrical compensation ring groove on the transmission line, and the structure is concise, making the electrical performance consistency of the assembled connector better.

The cable body 1 includes a cable outer conductor 3. Inside the cable outer conductor 3, there is a cable dielectric 4, and inside the cable dielectric 4, there is a cable inner conductor 5. The connector outer conductor 2 includes a cable inlet end 6 and a cable outlet end 7. The cable inlet end 6 and the cable outlet end 7 are fixedly connected. The outer wall of the cable outlet end 7 is detachably connected with a connection guide sleeve 8. Inside the cable inlet end 6 and the cable outlet end 7, there are respectively provided a cable outer conductor guide hole 9 and a cable dielectric guide hole 10. On the outer wall of the cable inlet end 6, there are provided a plurality of soldering exhaust holes 12.
[0020] In this embodiment: Before assembling the cable body 1 and the connector outer conductor 2, it is necessary to pre-process the cable body 1. As Figure 3 shown, cut and chamfer the cable body 1. Specifically, cut and strip the outer wall of the cable outer conductor 3. The stripping length is the matching dimension between the cable body 1 and the connector outer conductor 2. The length between the cutting position and the cable inner conductor 5 is the protruding length of the connector inner conductor;
[0021] During assembly, as Figure 3 shown, assemble the cable body 1 and the connector outer conductor 2.

The plurality of soldering exhaust holes 12 not only play the role of exhausting gas during soldering, making the solder more fluid, but also ensure the continuity between the connector and the inner wall of the cable outer conductor 3, forming a solder column in the holes to increase the welding strength;
[0022] Subsequently, cut off the process margin of the cable dielectric 4. After cutting, the end face of the dielectric should be flush with the end face of the cable outlet end 7 of the connector. The effect after cutting is as Figure 4 shown;
[0023] Assemble the connection guide sleeve 8 on the outer wall of the cable outlet end 7. The inner diameter of the connection guide sleeve 8 and the outer diameter of the cable outlet end 7 are in interference fit. On the outer wall of the cable inlet end 6, there is a groove 13 with an annular structure, arranged in an alternating tooth shape. During press-fitting, the volume of the plastically deformed part can be accumulated in the groove 13, preventing the press-fitting from being incomplete due to chip accumulation and making the accuracy after press-fitting more stable; during soldering, the soldering exhaust holes 12 at the bottom will accumulate solder, and the groove 13 also provides an overflow space for the solder, facilitating the control of the soldering process. After assembly, as Figure 1As shown in the figure, the sizes of the inner conductor, dielectric, and outer conductor of the cable are combined and shared with the connector, which greatly reduces the component composition, improves production efficiency, and reduces processing costs. There are only step changes at the diameter of the cable dielectric 4 and the electrical compensation ring groove 11 on the transmission line. The structure is streamlined, making the electrical performance and consistency of the assembled connector better.
