[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of VPX board connection equipment, specifically to VPX board radio frequency connectors. Background Technology

[0002] VPX boards, as a commonly used board structure, often involve a mix of digital and analog signals. However, conventional VPX connectors only support digital signals. RF connections to VPX boards require cables. Therefore, it is common to use customized VPX hybrid connectors, where the original VPX definitions specify P5 and P6 positions as RF jacks, connecting the board to the VPX connector via RF cables.

[0003] For example, a novel VPX board RF connector with application number CN202123304313.0 includes a board and an RF connector. The RF connector has an interface slot, and an array of first connectors are spaced apart in the interface slot. The RF connector is detachably connected to an RF plug. The RF plug has a mating block corresponding to the interface slot. The mating block has a first connector slot corresponding to the first connector spaced apart. A second connector is fixedly connected to one end of the RF plug spaced apart. The board has a second connector slot corresponding to the second connector.

[0004] The aforementioned patent proposes a VPX board RF connector. When connecting the RF plug and RF connector on one side of the board, the connection is fixed by screws and threaded holes. This setup requires tools to disassemble the RF plug and RF connector, which is inconvenient.

[0005] Therefore, we proposed the VPX board RF connector to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a VPX board RF connector to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that when connecting the RF plug and RF connector on one side of the board, the connection is fixed by screws and threaded holes. This setting means that when the RF plug and RF connector need to be disassembled, tools are required, which is inconvenient.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a VPX board RF connector, including a board and an RF connector disposed on one side of the outer wall of the board, wherein an RF plug is installed at one end of the RF connector, and retaining components are movably limited and installed at the four corners of one end of the RF connector, and the retaining components are configured to fix the RF connector at one end of the RF connector.

[0008] The retention assembly includes a long block and locking posts fixedly installed on both sides of one end of the long block. A first spring is fixedly installed in the middle of one end of the long block, and a T-shaped post is fixedly installed at one end of the first spring.

[0009] Preferably, an insertion block is fixedly installed at each of the four corners of one end of the RF connector, a second spring is embedded and fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the insertion block, and a semi-circular retaining ball is fixedly installed at one end of the second spring.

[0010] Preferably, a placement groove is provided in the middle of one side of the outer wall of the insertion block, and a receiving groove is provided in the middle of one end of the insertion block.

[0011] Preferably, the upper and lower ends of the receiving groove are respectively provided with first circular grooves, and the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the receiving groove is provided with a limiting groove.

[0012] Preferably, a connecting long groove is formed at each of the four corners of one end of the radio frequency plug, a second circular groove is formed on both sides of one end of the opening of the connecting long groove, and a top-out groove is formed on one side of the outer wall of the connecting long groove.

[0013] Preferably, the insertion block is movably installed in the inner cavity of the communicating long slot, and the semi-circular ball is automatically locked into the inner cavity of the ejection slot under the elastic force of the second spring.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. After the insert block is inserted into the inner cavity of the connecting long slot, pull the long block so that the long block drives the first spring to move away from the limiting slot. After the long block drives the locking pin to rotate 90 degrees, the locking pin and the second circular slot are aligned. Then release the long block so that the long block drives the locking pin to automatically lock into the inner cavity of the second circular slot under the elastic force of the first spring, thus completing the fixing of the RF connector and RF plug.

[0016] 2. When one end of the RF plug is mated with the RF connector, the insertion block is directly inserted into the inner cavity of the connecting slot. This causes the semi-circular retaining ball, which is fixed by the second spring, to retract after being squeezed. When the semi-circular retaining ball encounters the ejection slot, it will automatically be ejected from the inner cavity of the ejection slot under the elastic force of the second spring, thus completing the pre-fixation of the RF connector and the RF plug.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-4 The VPX board RF connector includes a board 1 and an RF connector 2 disposed on one side of the outer wall of the board 1. An RF plug 3 is installed at one end of the RF connector 2. A retaining component 4 is installed at each of the four corners of one end of the RF connector 2. The retaining component 4 is configured to fix the RF connector 2 at one end of the RF connector 2.

[0024] The insertion block 21 is movably installed in the inner cavity of the connecting long groove 31, and the semi-circular locking ball 23 is automatically locked into the inner cavity of the ejection groove 33 under the elastic force of the second spring 22.

[0025] The upper and lower ends of the groove of the receiving groove 212 are respectively provided with first circular grooves 213. The bottom surface of the inner cavity of the receiving groove 212 is provided with a limiting groove 214. The T-shaped column 44 is movably limited and installed in the inner cavity of the limiting groove 214. By limiting the installation of the T-shaped column 44, the first spring 43 is movably limited and installed in the inner cavity of the receiving groove 212.

[0026] An installation groove 211 is provided in the middle of one side of the outer wall of the insertion block 21, and a receiving groove 212 is provided in the middle of one end of the insertion block 21. A second spring 22 is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the installation groove 211, and the round ball 23 is moved and limited to one side of the outer wall of the insertion block 21 by the second spring 22.

[0027] The retaining component 4 includes a long block 41 and locking posts 42 respectively fixedly installed on both sides of one end of the long block 41. A first spring 43 is fixedly installed in the middle of one end of the long block 41, and a T-shaped post 44 is fixedly installed at one end of the first spring 43.

[0028] In this embodiment: When the operator installs the RF connector 2 and the RF plug 3, since the four corners of one end of the RF connector 2 are fixedly installed with insertion blocks 21, after the insertion blocks 21 are inserted into the inner cavity of the connecting long slot 31, the long block 41 is pulled, so that the long block 41 drives the first spring 43 to move away from the limiting slot 214, thereby causing the locking pin 42 embedded in the inner cavity of the first circular slot 213 to dislodge. The long block 41 is rotated again, so that the long block 41 drives the locking pin 42 to rotate 90 degrees, so that the locking pin 42 corresponds to the second circular slot 32. Then the long block 41 is released, so that the long block 41 drives the locking pin 42 to automatically lock into the inner cavity of the second circular slot 32 under the elastic force of the first spring 43, thereby completing the fixing of the RF connector 2 and the RF plug 3.

[0029] Example 2: This example is an improvement on Example 1. For details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 An insertion block 21 is fixedly installed at each of the four corners of one end of the RF connector 2. A second spring 22 is embedded and fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the insertion block 21. A semi-circular retaining ball 23 is fixedly installed at one end of the second spring 22.

[0030] The radio frequency plug 3 has a connecting long slot 31 at each of its four corners. The two sides of the opening of the connecting long slot 31 have a second round slot 32. The outer wall of the connecting long slot 31 has a push-out slot 33. The locking post 42 can be movably locked into the inner cavity of the first round slot 213 or the second round slot 32 under the elastic force of the first spring 43.

[0031] In this embodiment: when the operator mates one end of the RF plug 3 with the RF connector 2, the insertion block 21 will be directly inserted into the inner cavity of the connecting slot 31. This causes the semi-circular retaining ball 23, which is fixed by the second spring 22, to retract after being squeezed. When the semi-circular retaining ball 23 encounters the ejection slot 33, it will automatically be ejected from the inner cavity of the ejection slot 33 under the elastic force of the second spring 22, thereby completing the pre-fixation of the RF connector 2 and the RF plug 3.

[0032] Working principle: When the operator installs the RF connector 2 and the RF plug 3, since the four corners of one end of the RF connector 2 are fixedly installed with insertion blocks 21, when one end of the RF plug 3 is connected to the RF connector 2, the insertion blocks 21 will be directly inserted into the inner cavity of the connecting slot 31. This causes the semi-circular retaining ball 23, which is fixed by the second spring 22, to contract under pressure. When the semi-circular retaining ball 23 encounters the ejection slot 33, it will automatically be ejected from the inner cavity of the ejection slot 33 under the elastic force of the second spring 22, thus completing the connection of the RF connector 2 and the connector 3. After the RF connector 3 is pre-fixed, the long block 41 is pulled, causing the long block 41 to move the first spring 43 away from the limiting groove 214, thereby causing the locking pin 42 embedded in the inner cavity of the first circular groove 213 to disengage. The long block 41 is rotated again, causing the long block 41 to rotate the locking pin 42 90 degrees, so that the locking pin 42 corresponds to the second circular groove 32. Then the long block 41 is released, so that the long block 41 drives the locking pin 42 to automatically engage in the inner cavity of the second circular groove 32 under the elastic force of the first spring 43, thereby completing the fixing of the RF connector 2 and the RF connector 3.
