The main structural components of an RF connector include an inner conductor, an outer conductor, an insulator, and a connection interface. RF connector performance indicators include frequency range, insertion loss, return loss, and voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR). They are widely used in communications, test and measurement, aerospace, and other fields.

[0003] RF connectors need to be connected during use. When not connected, most of their connection parts are exposed to the outside world. If they are not connected for a long time, dust or moisture may accumulate. They need to be cleaned before use, otherwise the connection performance of the RF connector will be affected. Currently, RF connectors are usually given simple packaging before connection to protect the connection parts. However, this protection device is too simple, easy to fall off, and has poor protection performance with little effect.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a radio frequency connector connection protection device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0029] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-4 The radio frequency connector connection protection device shown includes a movable component 2 installed on the outer wall of the connection end of the radio frequency connector body 1, and a protection component 3 provided on the movable component 2. When the movable component 2 moves to the top, the protection component 3 covers the end of the radio frequency connector body 1.

[0031] Specifically, the RF connector body 1 has a plug portion 11 at one end, an inner conductor 12 inside the plug portion 11, and multiple moving slots 13 on the outer wall of the plug portion 11, with moving components 2 installed in the multiple moving slots 13.

[0032] Specifically, the moving component 2 includes a moving ring 21 disposed on the outer wall of the plug portion 11, and a slider 22 that matches the moving groove 13 is provided on the inner wall of the moving ring 21.

[0033] In this embodiment, during the production or assembly of the RF connector body 1, the movable component 2 is first installed into the movable groove 13 on the outer wall of the plug portion 11. Specifically, the slider 22 on the inner wall of the movable ring 21 is aligned with the movable groove 13, and then the movable ring 21 is slidably installed into place along the movable groove 13. Next, the protective component 3 is connected to one side of the movable component 2 via the connecting component 4. During connection, the rotating shaft 43 inside the fixed sleeve 41 and the rotating sleeve 42 is aligned, so that the rotating shaft 43 passes through the rotating hole 45 of the limiting plate 44, and then baffles 46 are installed at both ends of the rotating shaft 43 to complete the connection between the protective component 3 and the movable component 2.

[0034] Specifically, in the initial state, the moving component 2 is located at the bottom of the moving slot 13, and the protective component 3 is in a state where the plug portion 11 is not covered, which facilitates the connection operation of the RF connector.

[0035] Specifically, the protective component 3 includes a protective cover 31, the inside of which is provided with a groove 32 that matches the plug portion 11, and a connecting component 4 that connects the protective component 3 and the movable component 2.

[0036] Specifically, the connecting component 4 connects the protection component 3 to the side of the moving component 2.

[0037] Reference Figure 1-3 A sealing ring 14 is provided on the outer side of the top of the plug part 11, and a sealing groove 33 is provided on the inner side of the protective cover 31 around the groove 32. The protective cover 31 covers the top of the plug part 11.

[0038] Specifically, a magnetic base 15 is provided on one side of the plug part 11, and a magnetic head 34 is provided on one side of the protective cover 31 corresponding to the magnetic base 15. The magnetic head 34 matches the magnetic base 15, that is, the protective cover 31 covers the top of the plug part 11.

[0039] Specifically, the magnetic suction head 34 also has a lifting groove 35 on its front side.

[0040] In this embodiment, when protection of the RF connector plug portion 11 is required, such as when the RF connector is not in use or during transportation, the moving ring 21 is pushed upward along the moving groove 13. Due to the matching relationship between the slider 22 and the moving groove 13, the moving ring 21 can slide upward stably.

[0041] Specifically, as the moving ring 21 moves, the protective component 3 connected to one side of the moving ring 21 also moves accordingly. When the moving component 21 moves to the top, the groove 32 inside the protective cover 31 accurately covers the plug portion 11 under the action of the connecting component 4. At this time, the sealing ring 14 on the outer side of the top of the plug portion 11 and the sealing groove 33 on the inner side of the protective cover 31 fit tightly together to form a sealing structure. At the same time, the magnetic base 15 on one side of the plug portion 11 and the magnetic head 34 on one side of the protective cover 31 attract each other, further fixing the position of the protective cover 31 and ensuring that the protective cover 31 firmly covers the top of the plug portion 11.

[0042] Reference Figure 4 The connecting component 4 includes a fixed sleeve 41 disposed on one side of the moving ring 21 and a rotating sleeve 42 disposed on one side of the protective cover 31. Both the fixed sleeve 41 and the rotating sleeve 42 are provided with rotating shafts 43, and the rotating shafts 43 extend out of the sleeve. Both ends of the rotating shafts 43 are equipped with limiting plates 44. The limiting plates 44 are provided with rotating holes 45 corresponding to the rotating shafts 43. Both ends of the rotating shafts 43 pass through the limiting plates 44, and their ends are provided with baffles 46.

[0043] Specifically, the overall length of the moving slot 13 should at least allow for complete coverage and detachment of the moving component 2 and the protective component 3.

[0044] In this embodiment, when the RF connector needs to be used again, the protection device must be opened. First, a certain external force is applied through the lifting groove 35 on the front of the magnetic head 34 to overcome the attraction between the magnetic base 15 and the magnetic head 34, so that the magnetic head 34 separates from the magnetic base 15.

[0045] Specifically, by pulling the protective cover 31, the protective cover 31 can move flexibly within a certain range due to the movable connection of the connecting component 4. Next, push the moving ring 21 to move downward along the moving groove 13, causing the protective component 3 to move downward until the moving component 2 moves to the bottom of the moving groove 13. At this time, the protective component 3 is completely disengaged from the plug part 11, and the plug part 11 of the RF connector can be connected normally.

[0046] In this embodiment, after the covering operation is completed, the protective cover 31 can effectively protect the plug portion 11. Neither bumps and collisions during transportation nor dust and moisture in the storage environment can easily damage the plug portion 11. For example, during transportation, if vibration or collision occurs, the protective cover 31 can prevent other objects from directly impacting the plug portion 11, avoiding damage to the inner conductor 12 or scratches to the outer wall of the plug portion 11. Simultaneously, the sealing structure can prevent dust and moisture from entering the plug portion 11, keeping the inside of the plug portion 11 clean and dry, ensuring that the performance of the RF connector is not affected.

[0047] Specifically, the magnetic base 15 and the magnetic head 34, along with the sealing structure, ensure a very stable connection between the protective cover 31 and the plug 11. During normal handling or slight shaking of the equipment, the protective cover 31 will not easily detach, always maintaining protection for the plug 11.

[0048] In this embodiment, the design of the lifting groove 35 makes opening the protective cover 31 very convenient. No complicated tools are needed; simply hooking the lifting groove 35 with a finger or a simple tool allows the magnetic head 34 to be easily separated from the magnetic base 15. Furthermore, the movable connection of the connecting component 4 allows it to flexibly adapt to different operating angles and forces when moving the protective cover 31 and the moving component 2, preventing jamming or damage and improving operational efficiency and convenience.

[0049] Specifically, the entire opening process is simple and quick, enabling the RF connector to rapidly transition from a protected state to a usable state. This is crucial in scenarios requiring frequent use of the RF connector, such as in testing equipment, where operators can quickly open the protection device to connect and test the RF connector, saving time and improving work efficiency.

[0050] The above description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
