[0038] In addition, the technical features involved in different embodiments of the present utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0039] The following will describe the embodiments of the present utility model in conjunction with Figures 1 to 9 , the embodiments of the present utility model are described.

[0040] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, a connector installation tool is provided for rotating a connector 6. One side of the connector 6 is connected with a cable 8. The connector installation tool includes:

[0041] A fixing rod 1, inside which a channel 101 for accommodating the cable 8 is provided. The first end of the channel 101 forms an opening on one end face of the fixing rod 1 along its length direction;

[0042] A placement groove 2 is provided on the side wall of the fixing rod 1 corresponding to the position of the channel 101, and the placement groove 2 penetrates the side wall of the fixing rod 1 so that the cable 8 can be placed in the channel 101 through the placement groove 2;

[0043] The first clamping groove 3 is arranged at the first end of the channel 101, and at least a part of the sleeve part 61 of the connector head 6 is located in the first clamping groove 3, so that the first clamping groove 3 forms a limit on the sleeve part 61 along the circumferential direction of the sleeve part 61.

[0044] For the connector head installation tool provided in this embodiment, the cable 8 is placed into the channel 101 through the placement groove 2, and the sleeve part 61 is clamped by the first clamping groove 3. When the female connector head is arranged in the groove, the connector head 6 is driven by the fixing rod to extend into the groove and drive the connector head 6 to rotate, so as to be applicable to the disassembly and assembly of the connector head 6 on the female connector head located in the groove.

[0045] Specifically, the placement groove 2 penetrates through the side wall of the fixing rod 1 along the radial direction of the fixing rod 1 to communicate the outside of the fixing rod 1 and the inside of the channel 101 in the radial direction of the fixing rod 1. The shape of the first clamping groove 3 is adapted to the shape of the sleeve part 61. As a feasible implementation form, the outer peripheral wall of the sleeve part 61 is constructed as a hexagon, and the first clamping groove 3 is correspondingly constructed in the form of an internal hexagon to facilitate forming a limit on the sleeve part 61 in the circumferential direction.

[0046] Taking the installation of the connector head 6 as an example, place the connector head 6 on the side of the fixing rod 1 provided with the first clamping groove 3 correspondingly, and there is a certain interval distance from the end of the fixing rod 1 (for example, leave a distance of about 2 cm from the end of the fixing rod 1), and place the cable 8 into the channel 101 through the placement groove 2; pull the cable 8 along the channel 101 in the direction away from the first clamping groove 3. Driven by the cable 8, at least a part of the connector head 6 is pulled into the first clamping groove 3. The inner wall of the first clamping groove 3 is adapted to abut against the outer side wall of the connector head 6 and forms a limit on the connector head 6 in the circumferential direction. At this time, the length direction of the fixing rod 1 is arranged at an angle with the rotation plane of the connector head 6. Preferably, the length direction of the fixing rod 1 is perpendicular to the rotation plane of the connector head 6; move the fixing rod 1 to drive the connector head 6 to extend into a narrow space such as a groove with a female connector head; align the connector head 6 with the female connector head, and drive the connector head 6 to rotate on the female connector by rotating the fixing rod 1, so as to realize the installation of the connector head 6; after completing the installation work, pull out the fixing rod 1 outward, and pull the cable 8 out of the channel 101 through the placement groove 2, and the connector head installation tool can be disassembled. The whole process is convenient and simple to use.

[0047] A channel 101 is provided inside the fixing rod 1, and a partial area corresponding to the channel 101 on the side wall of the fixing rod 1 penetrates through to form an insertion groove 2. The first clamping groove 3 is arranged at the first end of the channel 101. The overall structure is simple and reliable, and the production cost is relatively low. By setting the length direction of the fixing rod 1 at an angle to the rotation plane of the connector 6, it is applicable to the situation where the female connector base is located in a narrow space such as a groove. Of course, it can also be applicable to the situation where there is enough space around the female connector base, and it has strong environmental adaptability. The connector installation tool provided in this embodiment can solve the problem that a common wrench cannot reach into a narrow space, resulting in the inability to lock and remove the connector. Thus, the female connector base can be arranged in a narrow space such as a groove, thereby avoiding contact and operation by unauthorized personnel, and at the same time not affecting the installation and removal by relevant personnel holding the tool. Taking an SMA radio frequency cable as an example, arranging the female connector base in a narrow space such as a groove is beneficial to avoid the situation that most devices using SMA connectors on the market usually arrange the SMA female base on the surface, but there is a risk of burning out the power amplifier device after the cable 8 and the connector 6 are accidentally removed by mistake in a radio frequency device.

[0048] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 9 the shape of the channel 101 includes a straight tubular shape.

[0049] Specifically, the shape of the channel 101 can be a straight tubular shape, and the first end of the channel 101 penetrates through an end face of the fixing rod 1 along its length direction. As a preferred implementation form, as shown in Figures 3 to 5 the length direction of the channel 101 is parallel to the length direction of the fixing rod 1, and both ends of the channel 101 form openings at the two end faces of the fixing rod 1 along its length direction. At this time, in addition to penetrating through the side wall of the fixing rod 1 along the radial direction of the fixing rod 1, the insertion groove 2 also penetrates through the side wall of the fixing rod 1 along the length direction of the fixing rod 1; the shape of the channel 101 can also be a bent tubular shape, that is, one end of the channel 101 forms an opening at an end face of the fixing rod 1 along its length direction, and the other end forms an opening on the outer side wall of the fixing rod 1. At this time, the insertion groove 2 only penetrates through the side wall of the fixing rod 1 along the radial direction of the fixing rod 1.

[0050] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 9 the spacing between the two side walls of the insertion groove 2 is smaller than the inner diameter of the channel 101.

[0051] For the connector installation tool provided in this embodiment, by making the spacing between the two side walls of the insertion groove 2 smaller than the inner diameter of the channel 101, it is convenient to press a cable that is larger than the opening width of the insertion groove 2 and smaller than or equal to the inner diameter of the channel 101 into the channel 101 through the insertion groove 2, so that the side wall of the fixing rod 1 forms a limit on the cable 8 in its radial direction, thereby improving the convenience during the disassembly and assembly of the connector 6.

[0052] Specifically, when the diameter of the cable 8 is less than or equal to the opening width of the insertion groove 2, the cable 8 can be directly placed into the channel 101 through the insertion groove 2. When the diameter of the cable 8 is greater than the opening width of the insertion groove 2, since the cable 8 usually has a certain degree of flexibility and can deform under pressure, and since there is a channel 101 inside the fixing rod 1, the fixing rod 1 is not a solid rod, and the thickness of the side wall of the fixing rod 1 is relatively thin, the interval distance between the two side walls of the insertion groove 2 can be changed under the action of external extrusion, so as to realize pressing the cable 8 into the channel 101 through the insertion groove 2.

[0053] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 9 At least one handle 4 is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the fixing rod 1, and the handle 4 is arranged at one end of the fixing rod 1 away from the first clamping groove 3.

[0054] For the connector installation tool provided in this embodiment, by fixedly connecting a handle to the outer wall of the fixing rod 1, compared with directly rotating the fixing rod 1, the lever arm can be increased, the force required for disassembling and assembling the connector 6 can be reduced, and it is convenient for disassembly and assembly.

[0055] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 9 The handle 4 includes a straight rod.

[0056] Specifically, the handle 4 can be constructed in the form of a straight rod, or can also be constructed in the form of a flat plate or a bent rod, etc.

[0057] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 9 The handle 4 extends along a direction away from the axis of the fixing rod 1.

[0058] Specifically, the extending direction of the handle 4 is set at an angle with the length direction of the fixing rod 1. Preferably, the handle 4 extends along the radial direction of the fixing rod 1.

[0059] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 9 A flexible member is provided on the outer wall of the handle 4.

[0060] For the connector installation tool provided in this embodiment, by providing a flexible member on the outer wall of the handle 4, it can play the effects of soft protection and increasing friction, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.

[0061] Specifically, the flexible member includes a rubber pad, a silica gel pad, a fabric layer. Preferably, the flexible member wraps the outer wall of the handle 4.

[0062] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 9 The junction of the side wall of the insertion groove 2 and the outer side wall of the fixing rod 1 is constructed as an arc surface 5 or an inclined straight surface 9.

[0063] The connector installation tool provided in this embodiment forms an arc surface 5 or an inclined straight surface 9 at the junction of the side wall of the insertion groove 2 and the outer side wall of the fixing rod 1 to form a guiding surface for guiding the cable 8 to enter the channel 101 through the insertion groove 2, which is beneficial to improving the operability of pressing the cable 8 into the channel 101 at the insertion groove 2.

[0064] Specifically, as shown in Figure 7 , an arc surface 5 or an inclined straight surface 9 is formed at the junction of the side wall of the insertion groove 2 and the outer side wall of the fixing rod 1, and along the direction in which the cable 8 is pressed into the channel 101 at the insertion groove 2, the interval distance between the two guiding surfaces gradually decreases.

[0065] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 9 , the connector 6 further includes a main body portion 62. The main body portion 62 is located on the side of the threaded sleeve portion 61 facing the cable 8. The main body portion 62 is adapted to be fixedly connected to the cable 8. A second clamping groove 10 is provided at a position on the inner wall of the channel 101 corresponding to the main body portion 62. The second clamping groove 10 is adapted to abut against the outer wall of the main body portion 62.

[0066] The connector installation tool provided in this embodiment clamps the main body portion 62 through the second clamping groove 10 to facilitate improving the overall stability during the process of rotating the connector 6 by using the connector installation tool.

[0067] Specifically, when at least a part of the threaded sleeve portion 61 is located in the first clamping groove 3, at least a part of the main body portion 62 is located in the second clamping groove 10, and the outer wall of the main body portion 62 abuts against the inner wall of the second clamping groove 10. The connector 6 is clamped jointly by the first clamping groove 3 and the second clamping groove 10 to facilitate enhancing the integrity of the connection and cooperation between the fixing rod 1 and the connector 6.

[0068] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 9 , a reinforcing sleeve 7 is fixedly connected to a region of the outer peripheral wall of the cable 8 close to the main body portion 62. The reinforcing sleeve 7 is fixedly connected to the main body portion 62, and the outer diameter of the reinforcing sleeve 7 is less than or equal to the inner diameter of the channel 101.

[0069] Specifically, the reinforcing sleeve 7 is fixedly sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the cable 8 and is fixedly connected to the main body portion 62, thereby protecting the connection part between the cable 8 and the main body portion 62 and reducing the risk of damage.

[0070] Obviously, the above embodiments are only examples given for clear illustration and are not limitations on the implementation manners. Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and variations all fall within the scope defined by the present invention.
