Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector technology, and in particular to a locking structure for the end of an RF connector. Background Technology

[0002] Existing RF connector locking structures mostly use threaded tightening, snap-on pressing, or spring pin fixing methods, which have the following drawbacks: Threaded locking: cumbersome operation, requiring multiple rotations, and not suitable for frequent plugging and unplugging scenarios; Elastic snap-on: after long-term use, the elastic components are prone to fatigue, resulting in a decrease in locking force; Spring pin structure: many parts, complex assembly, and high cost.

[0003] Furthermore, existing structures struggle to simultaneously meet the dual requirements of rapid unlocking and stable locking within a compact space. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: in order to overcome the problem that the existing locking structure is difficult to meet the dual requirements of fast unlocking and stable locking in a compact space, a locking structure for the end of an RF connector is provided.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a locking structure for the end of an RF connector, the RF connector including a connector body, the connector body having a groove, and the portion of the connector body located below the groove forming a mating part capable of elastic deformation.

[0006] The locking structure includes a locking body arranged on the connector body. The bottom of the locking body is bent inward to form a hook. The locking body can move up and down along the connector body so that the position of the hook can switch between the groove and the mating part. Through the cooperation of the groove and the mating part on the connector body and the hook on the locking body, the state (unlocked and locked) can be switched simply by sliding the locking body up and down, which improves the operating efficiency and makes the adjustment convenient and quick.

[0007] To address the issue of the latch body and connector body becoming loose after installation, causing the latch body to wobble freely, the latch body is further equipped with several clamping claws spaced apart on its top surface, with the clamping claws offset towards the inside of the latch body.

[0008] To address the issue of the inability to control the latch body to be in a locked state, making the locked state easy to release, a further feature is provided: a limiting protrusion is formed on the inner wall of the latch body, the limiting protrusion is located above the hook claw, and the limiting protrusion can be embedded in the groove.

[0009] When the hook claw abuts against the docking part, the limiting protrusion is embedded in the groove.

[0010] It further includes a positioning protrusion protruding from the top surface of the first end of the locking body.

[0011] To address the issue of the lock body being inconvenient to detach from the connector body, a pressing portion is further provided by bending the top surface of the tail end of the lock body outward.

[0012] To address the issue of the locking body easily moving excessively, causing the claws to damage the connector body, a limiting part is further formed on the bottom surface of the tail end of the locking body.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: the locking structure of the RF connector wire end provided by this utility model, through the cooperation of the groove and mating part on the connector body and the hook on the locking body, the state (unlocking and locking) can be switched by simply sliding the locking body up and down, which improves the operation efficiency and makes adjustment convenient and quick.

[0022] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.

[0023] like Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model, showing a locking structure for the end of an RF connector. The RF connector includes a connector body 1, which has a groove 11. The portion of the connector body 1 located below the groove 11 forms a mating portion 12 capable of elastic deformation.

[0024] like Figure 3 , 5 As shown, the locking structure includes a locking body 2 arranged on the connector body 1. The bottom surface of the locking body 2 is bent inward to form a hook 21. The locking body 2 can move up and down along the connector body 1 so that the position of the hook 21 can be switched between the groove 11 and the mating part 12. Through the cooperation of the groove 11 and the mating part 12 on the connector body 1 and the hook 21 on the locking body 2, the state (unlocked and locked) can be switched simply by sliding the locking body 1 up and down, which improves the operating efficiency and makes the adjustment convenient and quick.

[0025] like Figure 4 , 5 As shown, a number of clamping claws 22 are arranged at intervals on the top surface of the locking body 2. The clamping claws 22 are offset inward to the inside of the locking body 2. The locking body 2 achieves a stable connection with the connector body 1 through the design of the clamping claws 22 that are offset inward, so that the locking body 2 can be stably connected to the connector body 1.

[0026] like Figure 3 , 5 As shown, a limiting protrusion 23 is formed on the inner wall surface of the locking body 2. The limiting protrusion 23 is located above the hook 21. The limiting protrusion 23 can be embedded in the groove 11. When the hook 21 abuts against the docking part 12, the up and down movement of the locking body 2 is unrestricted. In this state, the locking body 2 is very easy to move up and down, causing the locking body 2 to release the restriction on the docking part 12 of the connector body 1. The limiting protrusion 23 is used to provide a fixed point for the locking body 2 (the connector body 1 is in a locked state).

[0027] When the hook 21 abuts against the mating part 12 (the connector body 1 is in a locked state), the limiting protrusion 23 is embedded in the groove 11.

[0028] like Figure 1 , 5 As shown, a positioning protrusion 24 is formed on the top surface of the first end of the latch body 2. The positioning protrusion 24 guides the latch body 2 to move in a predetermined direction to prevent offset or rotation during assembly.

[0029] like Figure 1 , 3As shown in Figure 5, the top surface of the tail end of the locking body 2 is bent outward to form a pressing part 25. By pressing, the clamping claw 22 on the locking body 2 and the resistance of the hook 21 located in the groove 11 or the resistance of the limiting protrusion 23 located in the groove 11 are overcome, so that the locking body 2 can be displaced and can be separated from the connector body 1.

[0030] like Figure 1 , 5 As shown, a limiting part 26 is formed inward on the bottom surface of the tail end of the locking body 2. The limiting part 26 can prevent the locking body 2 from moving upward excessively, causing the locking body 2 to be stuck in the connector body 1.

[0031] Work status:

[0032] Unlocked state: The latch body 2 moves up until the hook 21 is embedded in the groove 11. At this time, the mating part 12 of the connector body 1 can expand outward elastically without affecting the opening and closing of the connector body 1 itself, that is, without affecting the mating and unmatting actions of the male and female ends of the connector body 1.

[0033] Locking state: The locking body 2 moves down, the hook 21 presses against the mating part 12, restricts the movement of the mating part 12, and locks it, preventing the outer wall of the connector from expanding outward, that is, preventing the male end and the female end of the connector from mating and disassembling. At this time, the limiting protrusion 23 is located in the groove 11, providing a fixed point for the locking body 2, and preventing the locking state from being terminated due to the locking body 2 moving up and down arbitrarily.

[0034] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
