Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to coaxial line grounding technical field, especially relate to a elastic grounding ring. BACKGROUND

[0002] Coaxial line is a kind of double-conductor transmission line, and it mainly includes sheath, outer conductor, insulating layer and inner conductor from outside to inside in structure.Coaxial line is widely used in various electronic devices as radio frequency feeder due to its small radiation loss and strong anti-interference property.The outer conductor of general coaxial line needs to be grounded, and in electronic devices, the shell of metal material is often used as grounding point to make the outer conductor electrically connected with the shell to improve the anti-interference property of signal.

[0003] For example, the main board and the sub-board in mobile phone need to be connected by coaxial line for radio frequency signal connection, and additional grounding is needed in the middle of coaxial line due to long path.Usually, the outer conductor of coaxial line is electrically connected with the shell through tubular grounding ring, the grounding ring is sleeved on the outer conductor to make the grounding ring and the outer conductor contact to realize electrical connection;The metal shell of mobile phone has a clamping groove matched with the grounding ring, and the grounding ring is located in the clamping groove to make the grounding ring and the clamping groove contact to realize electrical connection;In turn, the outer conductor is electrically connected with the shell through the grounding ring to realize grounding, thereby ensuring the quality of signal transmission.But with the popularization of 5G, the number of coaxial lines needed increases, and the frequency band used becomes higher and higher, especially for millimeter wave products, the stability requirement for signal transmission is higher and higher, so the grounding stability of connector is also higher and higher.

[0004] And the conventional ground ring is a regular metal ring, which is a hard product and does not have elasticity.In order to assemble the grounding ring into the clamping groove, the groove width of the clamping groove is usually slightly larger than the outer diameter of the grounding ring, but once the groove width of the clamping groove is larger than the outer diameter of the grounding ring, the contact between the two is poor when the device is in working or vibrating scene, which leads to unstable contact with the mobile phone middle frame, and in turn leads to poor grounding stability of coaxial line.Therefore, in order to avoid the influence of poor grounding stability on the performance of the whole machine, it is necessary to design an elastic grounding ring to ensure stable contact.

[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0024] As shown in Figures 1 to 3 The embodiments of the present application provide an elastic grounding ring which is integrally bent and formed by a metal sheet, comprising a clamping piece 2 and a grounding spring piece 3. The clamping piece 2 is preferably made of stainless steel and is bent into a cylindrical shape, and is coaxially clamped and fixed on the outer conductor 101 of the coaxial line 1. The grounding spring piece 3 is pre-formed on the clamping piece 2. The grounding spring piece 3 is folded outward from part of the side wall of the clamping piece 2. The maximum width of the cross section of the elastic grounding ring is slightly larger than the inner distance of the grounding slot 4 on the metal shell of the electronic equipment, so that the grounding spring piece 3 can be in elastic abutment with the grounding slot 4, thereby realizing the grounding of the coaxial line 1.

[0025] As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 The grounding spring piece 3 can be folded outward from the side wall of the middle part of the clamping piece 2 and mirror-symmetrically formed on both sides of the clamping piece 2, or can be folded outward from the side wall of the two ends of the clamping piece 2 and mirror-symmetrically formed on both sides of the clamping piece 2, so as to increase the number of grounding contact points and the contact area. In addition, the mirror-symmetric design can also make the grounding spring piece 3 more evenly disperse the pressure when stressed, reduce stress concentration, improve connection reliability and structural stability.

[0026] In the embodiment, the grounding spring sheet 3 specifically comprises a supporting part 301, a bending part 302 and a pressing part 303, wherein the supporting part 301 is integrally connected with the clamping sheet 2 and is parallel to the inner side wall of the grounding slot 4; the bending part 302 is located at the end of the supporting part 301 and is bent to the outside of the clamping sheet 2; the pressing part 303 is connected with the bending part 302, and the contact surface of the pressing part 303 is a plane, which is used for directly pressing and contacting the inner side wall of the grounding slot 4 to ensure sufficient contact area. The bending angle of the pressing part 303 relative to the supporting part 301 is between 150° and 180°. When the elastic grounding ring is pressed into the grounding slot 4, the bending part 302 and the connecting part between the supporting part 301 and the main body of the clamping sheet 2 will elastically deform, so that the contact surface of the pressing part 303 can be more closely contacted with the inner side wall of the grounding slot 4 under the action of the elastic force.

[0027] In the embodiment, the grounding spring sheet specifically comprises a supporting part, a bending part and a pressing part, wherein the supporting part is integrally connected with the clamping sheet and is parallel to the inner side wall of the grounding slot; the bending part is located at the end of the supporting part and is bent to the outside of the clamping sheet; the pressing part is connected with the bending part, and the contact surface of the pressing part is a plane, which is used for directly pressing and contacting the inner side wall of the grounding slot to ensure sufficient contact area. The bending angle of the pressing part relative to the supporting part is between 150° and 180°. When the elastic grounding ring is pressed into the grounding slot, the bending part and the connecting part between the supporting part and the main body of the clamping sheet will elastically deform, so that the contact surface of the pressing part can be more closely contacted with the inner side wall of the grounding slot under the action of the elastic force.

[0028] The above embodiments only express the implementation of the present application, and the description is more specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as the limitation of the scope of the application patent.
