Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an easy-to-maintain radio frequency connector. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of electronic technology, radio frequency connectors have been widely used in communication, electronic equipment and other fields.

[0003] In the actual assembly process, traditional RF connectors are mostly connected by screwing the outer conductor and the tail sleeve together with a wrench until they can no longer be rotated, thus securing the connection. However, when it is necessary to maintain the connector or replace parts, the connection is too tight, making the disassembly and connection process cumbersome. This not only consumes a lot of time, but may also cause damage to parts due to improper operation, increasing maintenance costs and equipment downtime. It is difficult to meet the requirements of modern electronic equipment for connectors with high stability and convenient maintenance.

[0004] Therefore, an easy-to-maintain RF connector is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an easy-to-maintain radio frequency connector to solve the problem mentioned in the background art of the cumbersome disassembly and connection process when traditional radio frequency connectors require maintenance or component replacement.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an easy-to-maintain radio frequency connector, including an outer conductor and a tail sleeve, wherein a fastening part is provided at the lower part of the outer conductor, and a fixing component is provided at the connection end between the tail sleeve and the outer conductor;

[0007] The fastening part and the fixing component cooperate with each other so that the outer conductor is connected to the tail sleeve through the fastening part.

[0008] Preferably, the fixing component includes a fixing sleeve disposed on the upper part of the tail sleeve, the fixing sleeve having a content groove in the middle, and two sets of fixing grooves being disposed on the outer wall side of the content groove, and the two sets of fixing grooves being mirror images of each other.

[0009] Preferably, a fixing plate is provided in the middle of the content slot, and limiting wing plates are symmetrically provided on the inner wall side of the fixing plate.

[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the fixed sleeve is provided with two sets of limiting grooves that cooperate with the limiting wing plate, so that the fixed plate can move linearly inside the limiting groove through the limiting wing plate.

[0011] Preferably, the fixing groove is provided with multiple sets of fixing springs, and the multiple sets of fixing springs are located directly below the fixing plate, so that the fixing plate can move elastically inside the fixing groove.

[0012] Preferably, the fastening part includes a compression cylinder disposed at the lower part of the outer conductor, and inner fastening bolts are symmetrically disposed on the outer periphery of the compression cylinder.

[0013] Preferably, the extrusion cylinder and the inner tank cooperate with each other so that the outer conductor is inserted into the inner tank through the extrusion cylinder.

[0014] Preferably, the fixing groove is J-shaped, and the fixing groove and the inner buckle cooperate with each other.

[0015] Preferably, a pressure-bearing rubber pad is provided between the outer conductor and the tail sleeve.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] This invention achieves the connection between the outer conductor and the tail sleeve through the cooperation of the snap-fit ​​part and the fixing component. Compared with the traditional method of using a wrench to screw, there is no need to use tools for cumbersome screwing operations. The connection and disassembly process is simple and quick, which can effectively save maintenance time, improve maintenance efficiency, reduce equipment downtime, and meet the needs of modern electronic equipment for efficient maintenance.

[0018] Traditional connection methods, due to their overly tight fit, are prone to damage to components during disassembly due to improper handling. However, the design of the locking and fixing components in this connector allows for smoother connection and separation between the outer conductor and the tail sleeve, preventing component damage caused by excessive force during disassembly, reducing maintenance costs, and improving the connector's lifespan and reliability.

[0019] The fixing slots, fixing plates, and fixing springs in the fixing assembly work together to ensure a tight and stable connection between the outer conductor and the tail sleeve. The elasticity of the fixing spring allows the outer conductor and the tail sleeve to be elastically engaged, ensuring the reliability of the connection and preventing loosening due to vibration or other reasons, thereby ensuring the stability of radio frequency signal transmission.

[0020] Due to its easy disassembly and assembly characteristics, when it is necessary to inspect, repair or replace the internal components of the connector, the staff can quickly open the connector, complete the corresponding operation and then easily reassemble it. There is no need to worry about the maintenance progress being affected by the tight connection and difficulty in disassembly, which ensures the normal operation of the equipment and the smooth progress of maintenance work.

[0029] To address the cumbersome disassembly and reconnection process required for maintenance or component replacement of traditional RF connectors, this invention provides an easy-to-maintain RF connector. The technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this invention, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0030] Please see Figure 1-7 This utility model provides an easy-to-maintain radio frequency connector, including an outer conductor 1 and a tail sleeve 2. A fastening part 3 is provided at the lower part of the outer conductor 1. The fastening part 3 includes a compression cylinder 31 disposed at the lower part of the outer conductor 1, and inner fasteners 32 are symmetrically arranged on the outer periphery of the compression cylinder 31. The compression cylinder 31 cooperates with the inner groove 42 to allow the outer conductor 1 to be inserted into the inner groove 42 through the compression cylinder 31.

[0031] A fixing component 4 is provided at the connection end between the tail sleeve 2 and the outer conductor 1. The fixing component 4 includes a fixing sleeve 41 disposed on the upper part of the tail sleeve 2. A content groove 42 is formed in the middle of the fixing sleeve 41. Two sets of fixing grooves 43 are formed on the outer wall side of the content groove 42, and the two sets of fixing grooves 43 are arranged in a mirror image. A fixing plate 44 is disposed in the middle of the content groove 42, and a limiting wing plate 441 is symmetrically arranged on the inner wall side of the fixing plate 44. Two sets of limiting grooves 411 are formed on the inner wall side of the fixing sleeve 41 to cooperate with the limiting wing plate 441, so that the fixing plate 44 can move linearly inside the limiting groove 411 through the limiting wing plate 441. Multiple sets of fixing springs 45 are disposed inside the fixing groove 43, and the multiple sets of fixing springs 45 are located directly below the fixing plate 44, so that the fixing plate 44 can move elastically inside the fixing groove 43. The fixing groove 43 is J-shaped and it cooperates with the inner buckle 32.

[0032] The fastening part 3 and the fixing component 4 cooperate with each other so that the outer conductor 1 is connected to the tail sleeve 2 through the fastening part 3.

[0033] A pressure-bearing rubber pad 5 is provided between the outer conductor 1 and the tail sleeve 2.

[0034] The working principle of the easy-to-maintain RF connector provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0035] During assembly, align the snap-fit ​​part 3 (compression cylinder 31 and its outer peripheral inner snap-fit ​​32) at the lower part of the outer conductor 1 with the fixing component 4 (content groove 42 of fixing sleeve 41) at the connecting end of the tail sleeve 2.

[0036] Push the outer conductor 1 to gradually insert the extrusion cylinder 31 into the inner groove 42. During the insertion process, the inner latch 32 on the outer periphery of the extrusion cylinder 31 will contact the entrance of the fixing groove 43. As the outer conductor 1 continues to advance, the inner latch 32 will squeeze the fixing plate 44, causing it to overcome the elastic force of the fixing spring 45 and move downward in the fixing groove 43. At the same time, the limiting wing plate 441 slides along the limiting groove 411, playing a guiding and limiting role, ensuring the stability of the movement of the fixing plate 44.

[0037] After the compression cylinder 31 is inserted into place, rotate the outer conductor 1. The inner buckle 32 rotates along the tail end of the fixing groove 43 to the "J"-shaped hook position. At this time, the compression of the outer conductor 1 is released, and then the elastic restoring force of the fixing spring 45 will push the fixing plate 44 to move upward, so that the inner buckle 32 is engaged in the "J"-shaped hook position of the fixing groove 43, thereby achieving a tight clamping and fixing of the outer conductor 1 and the tail sleeve 2, and completing the connection operation.

[0038] The pressure-bearing rubber pad 5 can fill the gap between the outer conductor 1 and the tail sleeve 2, providing compensation for the connection between the outer conductor 1 and the tail sleeve 2, and effectively preventing the inner buckle 32 from loosening inside the fixing groove 43.

[0039] During disassembly, press down on the outer conductor 1. The outer conductor 1 squeezes the fixing plate 44. The fixing plate 44 moves downward under the action of the fixing spring 45, causing the inner buckle 32 to disengage from the "J"-shaped hook part and enter the straight groove part of the fixing groove 43.

[0040] At this point, the outer conductor 1 can be pulled out from the tail sleeve 2 to complete the disassembly process.

[0041] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
