[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-5 The present invention provides an embodiment of a high-efficiency waterproof radio frequency coaxial connector, comprising a male connector 1 and a female connector 2 for plugging into and electrically connecting with the male connector 1. A connecting post 9 and an inner protective sleeve 8 are respectively fixed at opposite ends of the male connector 1 and the female connector 2. The inner protective sleeve 8 and the connecting post 9 are plugged into each other. A support ring 3 is fixed at one end of the surface of the male connector 1, and an external threaded sleeve 4 is fixed on the outer wall of the support ring 3 near the female connector 2. An internal threaded sleeve 5 is rotatably installed at one end of the surface of the female connector 2. The internal threaded sleeve 5 and the external threaded sleeve 4 form a threaded tensioning structure. A ring sealing structure for forming a second sealing surface with the end of the female connector 2 is installed at the end of the male connector 1 on one side of the external threaded sleeve 4.

[0020] When connecting the male connector 1 and the female connector 2, the operator continuously screws on the inner thread sleeve 5. Due to the threaded engagement of the outer thread sleeve 4 and the inner thread sleeve 5, the inner thread sleeve 5 continuously pulls the outer thread sleeve 4, the support ring 3, and the male connector 1 towards the female connector 2. This structural design makes the connection more secure and effectively prevents the connector from loosening under vibration or external force.

[0021] The ring sealing structure includes a central sealing ring 6 and a sealing sleeve 7 fixed at the opposite ends of the male connector 1 and the female connector 2. The central sealing ring 6 and the sealing sleeve 7 are interlocked. An annular groove 601 is provided on the outer wall of one side of the central sealing ring 6. The thickness of the annular groove 601 is equal to the thickness of the sealing sleeve 7. After the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 are connected, the sealing sleeve 7 is inserted into the annular groove 601 of the central sealing ring 6. The central sealing ring 6 and the sealing sleeve 7 further improve the waterproof performance of the connector and reduce the entry of water and moisture into the connector.

[0022] One end of the surface of the connector female head 2 is fixed with an E-shaped annular lip 201, and one end of the internal threaded sleeve 5 is fixed with two annular inner edges for rotatable connection with the outer wall of the E-shaped annular lip 201. The E-shaped annular lip 201 plays a role in limiting and supporting the rotation of the internal threaded sleeve 5.

[0023] The top wall of the inner protective sleeve 8 is fixed with a rectangular rib 802. The outer wall of the connecting post 9 is provided with a rectangular groove 902 that slides into the rectangular rib 802. The inner protective sleeve 8 is fixed with a pin 801. The connecting post 9 is provided with a pin hole 901 for interlocking with the pin 801. The inner protective sleeve 8 and the connecting post 9 are connected. During this process, the rectangular rib 802 on the inner wall of the inner protective sleeve 8 and the rectangular groove 902 on the outer wall of the connecting post 9 slide into each other, and the pin 801 enters the pin hole 901. This helps to prevent the connection from loosening due to vibration or external force and improves the reliability of the RF connector.

[0024] In this embodiment, during use, the operator first removes the male connector 1 and female connector 2 to be connected, aligning the connecting post 9 and inner protective sleeve 8 of the male connector 1 and female connector 2. The connecting post 9 is then inserted into the inner protective sleeve 8, with its end fully inserted. The operator then continuously screws on the inner threaded sleeve 5, causing it to pull the outer threaded sleeve 4, support ring 3, male connector 1, and other components closer to the female connector 2, until the connecting post 9 is fully inserted into the inner protective sleeve 8. At this point, a first sealing surface is formed between the inner threaded sleeve 5 and the outer threaded sleeve 4. The sealing sleeve 7 is inserted into the interior of the central sealing ring 6, forming a second sealing surface. The inner protective sleeve 8 and the connecting post 9 themselves form a third sealing surface. By forming a triple waterproof surface, the male and female heads of the RF connector can effectively prevent external moisture from entering the connector in a humid environment, improving the waterproof performance of the connector. This effectively protects the electronic components and circuits inside the connector and prevents short circuits, leakage and other problems caused by moisture intrusion. The threaded tensioning structure formed by the external threaded sleeve 4 and the internal threaded sleeve 5 makes the connection between the male and female heads firm, which can effectively prevent the connector from loosening under vibration or external force, thereby improving the reliability of the connector.

[0025] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
