[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-5 One embodiment provided by this utility model:

[0023] A locking structure for an RF connector includes a first connector 1. A second connector 2 is disposed on the surface of the first connector 1. The first connector 1 and the second connector 2 are existing products and are not considered as technical protection points of this application, so they will not be described in detail here. A locking clip 3 is disposed on the surface of the second connector 2. The locking clip 3 is used to clamp the connection between the first connector 1 and the second connector 2, which can improve the connection stability of the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 and achieve secondary locking. The opening of the locking clip 3 increases from the inside to the outside, thereby facilitating the user to install the locking clip 3. A push plate 4 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the locking clip 3. The push plate 4 is used to facilitate the user to push the locking clip 3 to clamp the connection between the first connector 1 and the second connector 2. A pull plate 5 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the locking clip 3. The pull plate 5 is used to facilitate the user to pull the locking clip 3 to remove the locking clip 3. A reinforcing block 6 is fixedly connected to the surface of the pull plate 5. The reinforcing block 6 is used to strengthen the connection strength between the pull plate 5 and the locking clip 3. A mounting base 7 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the locking clip 3. The mounting base 7 is used to hold a rotating frame 8, a screw 9, and a limiting block 10. The tightening plate 11 is mounted on the locking clamp 3. A rotating frame 8 is hinged to the surface of the mounting base 7. The rotating frame 8 drives the screw 9, the limiting block 10, and the tightening plate 11 to rotate, and simultaneously limits the tightening plate 11, preventing it from rotating with the screw 9 and allowing only horizontal movement. The rotating frame 8 is threadedly connected to the screw 9, which drives the tightening plate 11 to move, causing it to push the locking clamp 3 to close. This further clamps the connection between the first connector 1 and the second connector 2, further improving the connection. To improve the connection stability of connector 1 and connector 2, a limiting block 10 is fixedly connected to the surface of screw 9. The limiting block 10 is used to limit the tightening plate 11, so that the tightening plate 11 will not detach from screw 9 and will not rotate with screw 9. The tightening plate 11 is movably connected to the surface of limiting block 10. The tightening plate 11 is used to push locking clip 3 to close, so that locking clip 3 further clamps the connection between first connector 1 and second connector 2, further improving the connection stability of first connector 1 and second connector 2.

[0024] Furthermore, the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 are existing products and are not considered as technical protection points of this application. They will not be described in detail here. The opening of the locking clip 3 increases from the inside to the outside. The locking clip 3 is used to clamp the connection between the first connector 1 and the second connector 2, which can improve the connection stability of the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 and realize secondary locking. The opening of the locking clip 3 increases from the inside to the outside, which makes it easier for the user to install the locking clip 3. The push plate 4 is used to make it easier for the user to push the locking clip 3 to clamp the connection between the first connector 1 and the second connector 2. The pull plate 5 is an arc-shaped plate. The pull plate 5 is used to make it easier for the user to pull the locking clip 3 to remove the locking clip 3.

[0025] Furthermore, the reinforcing block 6 is block-shaped, and two sets of reinforcing blocks 6 are symmetrically distributed on the surface of the pull plate 5. The reinforcing block 6 is fixedly connected to the locking clip 3, and the reinforcing block 6 is used to strengthen the connection strength between the pull plate 5 and the locking clip 3.

[0026] Furthermore, the mounting base 7 is block-shaped. The mounting base 7 is used to install the rotating frame 8, screw 9, limit block 10 and tightening plate 11 on the locking clamp 3. The rotating frame 8 has an "L" shaped cross section. The rotating frame 8 is used to drive the screw 9, limit block 10 and tightening plate 11 to rotate. At the same time, it is used to limit the tightening plate 11 so that the tightening plate 11 will not rotate with the rotation of the screw 9, but can only move horizontally.

[0027] Furthermore, the screw 9 is rotatably connected to the rotating frame 8 and the mounting base 7, and the screw 9 is movably connected to the tightening plate 11 through the limiting block 10. The screw 9 is used to drive the tightening plate 11 to move, so that the tightening plate 11 pushes the locking clip 3 to close, thereby further clamping the connection between the first connector 1 and the second connector 2, and further improving the connection stability of the first connector 1 and the second connector 2.

[0028] Furthermore, the radius of the limiting block 10 is larger than the radius of the screw 9, and the limiting block 10 is cylindrical in shape. The limiting block 10 is used to limit the tightening plate 11 so that the tightening plate 11 will not detach from the screw 9, and at the same time, the tightening plate 11 will not rotate with the rotation of the screw 9.

[0029] Furthermore, the tightening plate 11 is rotatably connected to the rotating frame 8 and the mounting base 7, and the tightening plate 11 is slidably connected to the rotating frame 8 via the screw 9. The tightening plate 11 is used to push the locking clip 3 to retract, thereby further clamping the connection between the first connector 1 and the second connector 2, and further improving the connection stability of the first connector 1 and the second connector 2.

[0030] Working principle: After connecting the first connector 1 and the second connector 2, the locking clip 3 is used to clamp the connection between the first connector 1 and the second connector 2. The locking clip 3 can improve the connection stability of the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 and achieve secondary locking. At the same time, the device has a simple structure, is lightweight, is easy and quick to install, has low production cost, and can be widely used.

[0031] After clamping the connection between the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 with the locking clip 3, rotate the rotating frame 8 to make the tightening plate 11 vertical. Then, use a tool to rotate the screw 9. The screw 9 can drive the tightening plate 11 to move. The movement of the tightening plate 11 can push the locking clip 3 to close, thereby further clamping the connection between the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 with the locking clip 3, and further improving the connection stability of the first connector 1 and the second connector 2.

[0032] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
