[0018] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the utility model.

[0019] As shown in Figure 1 , 2 Embodiment 1, a low-cost reliable grounding welding-free radio frequency contact, comprising outer shell 1 and inner shell 2 sleeved outside and inside, in the embodiment, the outer shell 1 and the inner shell 2 are inserted and fit, and the fixed connection between the two is realized. The inner support assembly is arranged in the inner shell 2, and the inner support assembly cooperates with the inner contact 4, the inner support assembly gives the floating support to the inner contact 4, so that the floating connection can be realized when being connected and used, and the stability of the connection is ensured. The grounding ring 5 is arranged on the outer side of the inner shell 2 and slides, the elastic support 6 is arranged between the grounding ring 5 and the inner shell 2 or the outer shell 1, the elastic support can elastically support the grounding ring, and the floating of the grounding ring is realized. In the embodiment, the elastic closing part 7 is arranged on the grounding ring 5, and the elastic closing part 7 cooperates with the outer side wall of the inner shell 2. In the embodiment, the related structure function for floating connection purpose in the prior art is changed to the form of the elastic closing part 7 and arranged on the grounding ring 5, so that the expansion force test and heat treatment processes during processing in the prior art are avoided, and the processing complexity and cost are reduced. Further, the anti-disengagement structure is arranged between the elastic closing part 7 and the inner shell 2, the arrangement of the anti-disengagement structure can avoid the elastic closing part from being disengaged from the inner shell in the non-use state, and the reliability of the floating connection is improved.

[0020] As a further specific embodiment, the elastic closing part 7 comprises a plurality of elastic sheet parts 71 arranged circumferentially along the grounding ring 5, and a plurality of slots 72 arranged between adjacent elastic sheet parts 71. Since the grounding ring is short in length, the length of the slots is limited, and the wall thickness of the elastic sheet part of the grounding ring is thick, so the number of slots should be as large as possible, and the width of the slots should be as large as possible. In this embodiment, eight slots 72 are arranged on the grounding ring, corresponding to eight elastic sheet parts, which are arranged in a closing state, so that the end part is in elastic contact with the inner shell. The grounding ring can be made of tin bronze material, and the elastic closing part 7 is formed by machining, and the structure of the eight elastic sheet parts 71 of the grounding ring is designed as a slope, which can simulate the shape after closing, thereby reducing the cost of closing test force. At the same time, since the material of the grounding ring is tin bronze, it does not need to be heat treated, and the processing cost can also be reduced.

[0021] When the grounding ring is stressed to retreat, it is equivalent to the process of plugging the elastic closing part and the inner shell, at this time a certain plugging force will be generated, which can ensure the reliable contact between the grounding ring and the inner shell, ensure the stability of signal transmission, make the electromagnetic wave in the chain link propagate along the medium channel inside the inner shell, and not make the current propagate along the elastic support, at the same time, increase the contact pressure between the grounding ring and the outer pad of the printed board, and improve the shielding performance of the product. This embodiment significantly improves the grounding cost of the solderless radio frequency contact, conforms to the market trend of the current radio frequency connector, and reduces the complexity of the existing assembly process in a floating connection mode. Compared with the conventional welding connection mode, the maintainability is improved.

[0022] In embodiment 2, a low-cost and reliable solderless radio frequency contact is provided, which is based on embodiment 1.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the step I 81 is in interference fit with the outer wall of the inner shell 2, and the step II 82 is in clearance fit with the elastic sheet part 71. Under the elastic action of the elastic sheet part, the interference fit can maintain the communication between the step I and the inner shell, achieve the purpose of elastic connection, realize the floating termination of the grounding ring and the outer pad of the printed board, and maintain the connection reliability. The interference amount of the two should be as small as possible to ensure that the grounding ring can reliably cooperate with the inner shell when floating, and the friction between the two should be as small as possible to ensure that the elastic force of the elastic support is greater than the friction so that it can be smoothly rebounded.

[0023] As a further specific embodiment, the distance from the mating surface of the step I 81 to the end surface of the outer shell 1 is greater than or equal to the distance to the bottom of the slot 72. In this embodiment, the length of the slot is minimized so that the slot does not leak out of the outer shell or leaks out of the outer shell as little as possible, thereby preventing leakage of the radio frequency channel. Under the action of the elastic support, the corresponding mating surfaces between the step I and the step II are in contact with each other, at this time the slot 72 is completely covered by the inner shell and the outer shell in the axial direction, avoiding the leakage of the radio frequency channel.

[0024] In this embodiment, the grounding ring compression spring realizes axial sliding, the height of the grounding ring exposed to the shell 1 determines the axial floating distance of the contact end surface.

[0025] In addition, the elastic support 6 is a spring, which can be made of stainless steel wire material. One end of the elastic support 6 is matched with the end surface of the step I 81, and the inner wall of the inner shell 2 or the inner wall of the outer shell 1 is provided with a step III 61 for supporting the other end of the elastic support 6. In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, the step III is provided on the inner wall of the outer shell as a step hole to provide axial support for the spring. The elastic support 6 is gap matched with the inner wall of the outer shell to ensure smooth rebound. The spring is in a pre-compressed state and can push the step I and the step II into contact after installation. During installation and use, the grounding ring contacts the outer pad of the printed board and moves back along the axial direction while compressing the elastic support. The elastic support provides a positive pressure to ensure that the grounding ring reliably and stably contacts the outer pad of the printed board. At this time, the grounding ring is in elastic contact with the printed board, the step I and the step II are separated, and the step I maintains contact with the outer wall of the inner shell to maintain the connected state.
