Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fixture technology for radio frequency modules, and in particular to a quick clamp for radio frequency modules. Background Technology

[0002] In the installation and use of antenna RF modules, traditional clamps often suffer from insufficient positioning accuracy. They lack a preliminary positioning structure that adapts to the module's shape, leading to initial positional deviations when the module is placed. This affects the accuracy of docking with the connector adapter board and can even cause interface wear. Furthermore, the clamping mechanisms of existing clamps are cumbersome to operate, making rapid fixation difficult. The clamping force application point is also inaccurate, easily causing module displacement during docking or operation, affecting connection stability. In addition, most clamps lack a dedicated structure designed for the heat dissipation requirements of the RF module during operation. Coupled with insufficient rigidity in the connection between the fixing components and the side plate, this not only affects module performance due to excessive temperature but may also further exacerbate docking deviations due to insufficient structural stability. These combined problems result in low installation efficiency and poor docking reliability for the RF module, making it difficult to meet the requirements for efficient and stable use. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a quick clamp for radio frequency modules, which solves the above-mentioned problems.

[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] A quick clamp for an RF module includes a base plate, with side plates provided on one pair of sides of the base plate, and a connector adapter plate and a front panel respectively mounted on the other pair of sides of the base plate.

[0006] The front panel is frame-shaped, and its blank area corresponds to the area on the connector adapter plate where the adapter is installed; the two sides of the front panel are equipped with toggle-type quick clamps, and the front panel is provided with fixing components at the positions corresponding to the side plates.

[0007] An installation groove is provided in the middle of the side plate along its length. A limiting slide groove is installed in the installation groove. The installation groove divides the side plate into upper and lower parts. Two fixing posts are located in the upper and lower parts of the side plate, respectively, and both the upper and lower parts of the side plate are hollow structures.

[0008] Furthermore,

[0009] The fixing component includes a fixing post and a C-shaped fixing block. The fixing post passes through the front panel and the corresponding side panel and is connected to the side of the end of the C-shaped fixing block. The middle position of the C-shaped fixing block is opposite to the end of the push rod in the toggle-type quick clamp.

[0010] Furthermore,

[0011] The upper wall length of the limiting slide is less than the bottom wall length and is exactly the same as the distance between the RF module and the connector adapter board when they are successfully plugged in. The upper wall of the limiting slide extends from the connector adapter board to the front panel.

[0012] Furthermore,

[0013] The frame shape of the front panel is adapted to the shape of the radio frequency module to perform preliminary positioning of the radio frequency module.

[0014] Furthermore,

[0015] The adapters on the connector adapter board are arranged in an array, corresponding to the blank area of ​​the front panel.

[0016] Furthermore,

[0017] On both sides of the front panel, openings are made at the mounting grooves on the corresponding side panels, with the openings conforming to the vertical axis of the front panel.

[0018] Furthermore,

[0019] The two ends of the C-shaped fixing block are located on the upper and lower halves of the side plate, respectively. The center of the C-shaped fixing block and the axis of the mounting groove are on the same horizontal plane. A pushing hole is opened in the middle of the side of the C-shaped fixing block facing the front panel.

[0020] Furthermore,

[0021] In the toggle-type quick clamp, the diameter of the push rod is larger than the diameter of the push hole. An inclined surface offset towards the axis of the push rod is provided at the end of the push rod, so that the end of the push rod forms a trapezoidal platform that can just fit into the push hole.

[0022] Furthermore,

[0023] A heat dissipation assembly is installed on one of the outer sides of the two side plates. The heat dissipation assembly includes an L-plate and a fan. The short plate of the L-plate is connected to the upper surface of the corresponding side plate, while the long plate just covers the side plate. The long plate has a receiving hole for accommodating the fan.

[0024] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0025] 1. The front panel adopts a frame structure that matches the shape of the RF module, which can achieve initial positioning directly when the module is placed without repeated manual adjustments. This provides a reference for subsequent docking and clamping, greatly reducing the alignment time during installation and effectively improving the overall installation efficiency.

[0026] 2. The length of the upper wall of the limiting slide in the side plate mounting slot is precisely matched with the distance when the RF module and connector adapter board are successfully mated. When the module moves along the slide until it is blocked by the upper wall, it is precisely mated, avoiding over-insertion or under-insertion, significantly reducing the risk of interface wear caused by mating deviation, and improving mating reliability.

[0027] 3. The push rod end of the toggle-type quick clamp is designed with a trapezoidal platform, the diameter of which is larger than the push hole of the C-shaped fixing block and has an inclined surface. This facilitates the push rod to smoothly enter the push hole for quick clamping, and the interference fit ensures the stability after clamping. It is labor-saving to operate and can effectively prevent the module from shifting during docking or operation, thus realizing the core function of "quick clamp".

[0028] 4. In the heat dissipation assembly on the outside of the side plate, the fan can directly supply air to the side plate and the nearby RF module for heat dissipation through the receiving holes of the L-plate. The shielding effect of the long plate can protect the fan and guide the airflow to concentrate on the heat dissipation area. Combined with the hollow structure of the side plate to enhance natural heat dissipation, it can effectively prevent the RF module from being affected by excessive temperature during operation, thus expanding the applicable scenarios of the fixture.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0044] See the example. Figures 1 to 9 :

[0045] A quick clamp for an RF module includes a base plate 1, with side plates 2 on one pair of sides of the base plate 1, and a connector adapter plate 4 and a front panel 3 respectively mounted on the other pair of sides of the base plate 1.

[0046] The front panel 3 is frame-shaped, and its blank area corresponds to the area on the connector adapter plate 4 where the adapter is installed; the two sides of the front panel 3 are equipped with toggle-type quick clips 6, and the front panel 3 is provided with a fixing component 7 at the position corresponding to the side plate 2.

[0047] An installation groove 20 is provided in the middle of the side plate 2 along the length direction. A limiting slide groove 21 is installed in the installation groove 20. The installation groove 20 divides the side plate 2 into upper and lower parts. Two fixing posts 70 are located in the upper and lower parts of the side plate 2 respectively, and both the upper and lower parts of the side plate 2 are hollow structures.

[0048] Furthermore,

[0049] The fixing component 7 includes a fixing post 70 and a C-shaped fixing block 71. The fixing post 70 passes through the front panel 3 and the corresponding side panel 2 and is connected to the side of the end of the C-shaped fixing block 71. The middle position of the C-shaped fixing block 71 is opposite to the end of the push rod 60 in the toggle-type quick clamp 6.

[0050] The front panel 3, side panel 2 and C-shaped fixing block 71 are stably connected by the fixing column 70 to form a rigid integral structure, which improves the structural stability of the fixture. The C-shaped fixing block 71 is opposite to the end of the push rod 60, which provides a precise point of application for the clamping force of the toggle-type quick clamp 6, ensuring that the clamping force can be directly applied to the position that needs to be fixed, and ensuring that the RF module will not be displaced during docking.

[0051] Furthermore,

[0052] The upper wall 210 of the limiting slide groove 21 is shorter than the bottom wall and is exactly the same as the distance between the RF module and the connector adapter plate 4 when they are successfully plugged in. The upper wall 210 of the limiting slide groove 21 extends from the connector adapter plate 4 to the front panel 3.

[0053] The precise design of the upper wall 210 can strictly limit the insertion depth of the RF module. When the RF module is inserted along the limiting slide 21 and successfully mated with the connector adapter plate 4, it will be blocked by the upper wall 210 of the limiting slide 21, avoiding over-insertion or incomplete insertion, greatly improving the docking accuracy and reducing the risk of interface damage caused by docking deviation.

[0054] Furthermore,

[0055] The frame shape of the front panel 3 is adapted to the shape of the radio frequency module to perform preliminary positioning of the radio frequency module.

[0056] The frame structure enables rapid initial positioning during RF module installation, eliminating the need for repeated manual adjustments and reducing alignment time during installation. It also provides a reference for subsequent clamping operations, improving overall installation efficiency.

[0057] Furthermore,

[0058] The adapters on the connector adapter board 4 are arranged in an array, corresponding to the blank area of ​​the front panel 3.

[0059] The array of adapters can adapt to the connection requirements of multi-interface RF modules and meet the docking scenarios of different specifications of RF modules; and the adapters correspond to the blank area of ​​the front panel 3, which can avoid the front panel 3 from blocking the adapters, ensuring that the connection process between the RF module and the adapters is unobstructed and ensuring smooth docking.

[0060] Furthermore,

[0061] On both sides of the front panel 3, openings 30 are formed at the mounting grooves 20 on the corresponding side panels 2, which are aligned with the vertical axis of the front panel 3. The openings 30 are adapted to the mounting grooves 20.

[0062] The matching design of the opening 30 and the mounting groove 20 facilitates the assembly and positioning of the side plate 2 and the front panel 3, making the connection between the two tighter. At the same time, the opening 30 and the mounting groove 20 form a continuous spatial structure, which will not obstruct the installation path of the RF module or the function of the limiting slide 21, thus ensuring the rationality of the internal space of the fixture.

[0063] Furthermore,

[0064] The two ends of the C-shaped fixing block 71 are located on the upper and lower halves of the side plate 2, respectively. The center of the C-shaped fixing block 71 and the axis of the mounting groove 20 are on the same horizontal plane. A pushing hole 710 is opened in the middle of the side of the C-shaped fixing block 71 facing the front panel 3.

[0065] The C-shaped fixing block 71 is located at the upper and lower parts of the side plate 2, which can evenly distribute the clamping force and avoid structural deformation caused by unilateral force. The center is on the same horizontal plane as the axis of the mounting groove 20, ensuring that the clamping force is applied along the docking direction of the RF module and the connector adapter plate 4, improving the clamping accuracy. The push hole 710 provides a clear working position for the push rod 60, ensuring effective transmission of clamping force.

[0066] Furthermore,

[0067] In the toggle-type quick clamp 6, the diameter of the push rod 60 is larger than the diameter of the push hole 710. An inclined surface offset towards the axis of the push rod 60 is provided at the end of the push rod 60, so that the end of the push rod 60 forms a trapezoidal platform 601, which can be just inserted into the push hole 710.

[0068] The diameter of the push rod 60 is larger than that of the push hole 710, ensuring an interference fit between the push rod 60 and the push hole 710 after clamping, making it less prone to loosening; the engaging structure between the trapezoidal platform 601 and the push hole 710 enables quick clamping, while the inclined surface reduces the resistance of the push rod 60 entering the push hole 710, making operation easier; the whole design ensures both the stability of the clamping and the convenience of operation, achieving the core function of "quick clamping".

[0069] Furthermore,

[0070] A heat dissipation assembly 5 is installed on one of the outer sides of the two side plates 2. The heat dissipation assembly 5 includes an L-plate 50 and a fan 51. The short plate 501 of the L-plate 50 is connected to the upper surface of the corresponding side plate 2, while the long plate 502 just covers the side plate 2. The long plate 502 has a receiving hole for accommodating the fan 51.

[0071] The fan 51 can directly dissipate heat from the side plate 2 and the nearby RF module through the receiving hole, preventing the RF module from being affected by excessive temperature during operation; the shielding effect of the long plate 502 of the L plate 50 can protect the fan 51 and guide the airflow to the heat dissipation area, improving the heat dissipation efficiency; the stable connection between the short plate 501 and the side plate 2 ensures the installation reliability of the heat dissipation component 5, making the clamp have both fixing and heat dissipation functions, expanding the applicable scenarios.

[0072] The method of using this utility model is as follows:

[0073] When using this RF module quick clamp, first place the RF module along the frame structure of the front panel 3 to achieve initial positioning. Its shape matches the frame shape to ensure accurate initial position. Then, push the module along the limiting slide 21 in the mounting slot 20 of the side panel 2 to move towards the connector adapter plate 4. Since the length of the upper wall 210 of the limiting slide 21 is consistent with the distance when the module and the adapter plate are successfully mated, the module will be precisely mated when it is blocked by the upper wall 210. At this time, the adapters distributed in the array on the adapter plate match the corresponding interfaces of the module through the blank area of ​​the front panel 3.

[0074] Next, operate the toggle-type quick clamps 6 on both sides of the front panel 3. The trapezoidal platform 601 at the end of the push rod 60 (because its diameter is larger than the push hole 710 of the C-type fixing block 71 and has an inclined surface) will smoothly fit into the push hole 710. The clamping force is transmitted to the module by means of the C-type fixing block 71 connected by the fixing column 70. Combined with the rigid connection between the fixing component 7 and the side plate 2, a stable fixation is achieved to avoid displacement during the docking process.

[0075] Meanwhile, the hollow structure of the side plate 2 facilitates natural heat dissipation, and the fan 51 of the outer heat dissipation component 5 delivers air in a directional manner through the receiving hole of the L plate 50 and the long plate 502, further ensuring the temperature stability of the module during operation. The overall system achieves convenient installation and reliable operation of the RF module through the synergy of structural positioning, precise limiting, quick clamping and efficient heat dissipation.

[0076] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
