Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical equipment accessories, in particular to a multifunctional radio frequency connector. Background Art

[0002] Radio frequency (RF) signal transmission is an integral part of medical equipment, particularly in applications requiring high-precision and efficient signal transmission. However, traditional RF connector designs are often limited to transmitting a single signal, such as RF energy or data. This makes practical applications, especially in medical devices like microwave ablators, inflexible and cumbersome. For example, medical devices like microwave ablators require not only the transmission of high-power RF (microwave) energy but also control and feedback signals, such as digital and analog signals, for precise control and monitoring.

[0003] In traditional designs, RF energy and control signals are typically transmitted through two different connectors and cables. This separate design not only increases device complexity and leads to a cluttered cable system, but can also affect device portability and operational efficiency. In medical settings, this not only increases the operational burden on medical staff but can also affect surgical efficiency and safety. Furthermore, the separate design limits device design flexibility, making miniaturization and integration difficult, increasing device size and weight, and reducing portability and patient comfort.

[0004] With the advancement of technology, medical devices are placing higher demands on the integration and efficiency of signal transmission. Against this backdrop, developing a multifunctional RF connector capable of simultaneously transmitting RF energy and control signals has become an effective solution to these challenges. Such a connector must not only ensure high-quality RF signal transmission but also be capable of stable transmission of small digital and analog signals. Furthermore, its design must balance portability, ease of operation, and device miniaturization. Therefore, designing a multifunctional RF connector that meets these requirements has become a pressing technical challenge for those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention
