Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] RF connectors are electronic components specifically designed for transmitting radio frequency signals (typically in the range of 800MHz to 110GHz). RF connectors have a wide range of critical applications in the automotive industry, primarily serving high-frequency signal scenarios such as vehicle communication, radar detection, and multimedia transmission.

[0003] For example, a connector terminal with announcement number "CN222958884U" has a terminal body integrally stamped from a sheet metal, forming a first connecting end and a second connecting end. The first and second connecting ends are perpendicular to each other, and the projection of the first connecting end onto the second connecting end coincides with the position of a first mounting hole on the second connecting end. This special design of the first mounting hole eliminates the need for a larger installation space in the width direction when connecting the machined copper busbar to the terminal body. The installation space between the machined copper busbar and the connector can be narrower, allowing the low-cost, stamped connector terminal to meet the connection requirements in confined spaces. However, in the above structure, the stamping of the terminal body can easily lead to localized thinning, making it susceptible to deformation or breakage under external forces such as vibration. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This utility model aims to solve the problems existing in the prior art by providing a hardware shell and terminal assembly structure for an RF connector. Through the use of reinforcing ribs and spring washers, it aims to reduce the likelihood of deformation or breakage of the terminal body.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: This RF connector hardware shell and terminal combination structure includes a shell and a terminal body. The terminal body is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the shell. A protective structure is provided on the outer side of the terminal body. The protective structure includes a reinforcing block, a spring washer, and an annular reinforcing rib. The two ends of the annular reinforcing rib are fixedly connected to the pressure plate and the terminal body, respectively. A connector is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the annular reinforcing rib. The outer wall of the spring washer is fixedly connected to the terminal body and the shell, respectively. The outer wall of the reinforcing block is fixedly connected to the terminal body and the shell, respectively.

[0006] To further improve the design, a first mounting hole is machined on the inner wall of the terminal body, and a second mounting hole is machined on the inner wall of the pressing piece.

[0007] Further improvements include a lower part of the connector being fixedly connected to the terminal body, and an upper part of the connector being fixedly connected to the pressure plate component.

[0008] Further improvements include a fixed connection between the outer wall of the tablet press and the outer shell, and a second opening machined on the lower outer side of the outer shell.

[0009] Further improvements include a first opening machined on the inner side of the lower part of the outer shell, and threaded holes machined at all four corners of the outer shell.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Through the cooperation of the terminal body, the outer shell and the protective structure, the material of the annular reinforcing rib and the reinforcing block is stainless steel. When the outer shell is subjected to external vibration, the load on the terminal body can be distributed by the annular reinforcing rib and the reinforcing block. At the same time, when the spring washer is subjected to force, it deforms and absorbs the vibration energy, reducing the possibility of deformation or breakage of the terminal body.

[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0017] See attached document Figures 1-4In this embodiment, an RF connector hardware shell and terminal assembly structure includes a shell 1 and a terminal body 2. The terminal body 2 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the shell 1. The shell 1 is made of aluminum alloy, and the terminal body 2 is made of copper. The upper part of the terminal body 2 is a second connection end, and the lower part of the terminal body 2 is a first connection end. The bent part of the terminal body 2 is a connection part. A protective structure 6 is provided on the outer side of the terminal body 2. The protective structure 6 includes a reinforcing block 602, a spring washer 603, and an annular reinforcing rib 601. The two ends of the annular reinforcing rib 601 are fixedly connected to the pressing piece 9 and the terminal body 2, respectively. A connector 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the annular reinforcing rib 601. The outer wall of the spring washer 603 is fixedly connected to the terminal body 2 and the shell 1, respectively. The outer wall of the reinforcing block 602 is fixedly connected to the terminal body 2 and the shell 1, respectively.

[0018] The inner wall of the terminal body 2 is machined with a first mounting hole 7, the inner wall of the pressing piece 9 is machined with a second mounting hole 3, the lower part of the connector 8 is fixedly connected to the terminal body 2, the upper part of the connector 8 is fixedly connected to the pressing piece 9, the outer wall of the pressing piece 9 is fixedly connected to the outer shell 1, the lower outer side of the outer shell 1 is machined with a second opening 5, the lower inner side of the outer shell 1 is machined with a first opening 4, and the four corners of the outer shell 1 are machined with threaded holes 10.

[0019] Working principle:

[0020] The hardware housing and terminal assembly structure for using RF connectors:

[0021] The operator uses the first mounting hole 7 and the second mounting hole 3 in conjunction with the bolt to fix the second connecting end above the terminal body 2 (made of copper) to the copper busbar at the end of the vehicle, and inserts the first connecting end below the terminal body 2 into the female terminal to achieve circuit conduction;

[0022] The outer casing 1 (made of aluminum alloy) can be installed in a designated position by bolts and threaded holes 10;

[0023] The annular reinforcing rib 601 and the reinforcing block 602 are made of stainless steel. When the outer shell 1 is subjected to external vibration, the annular reinforcing rib 601 and the reinforcing block 602 can disperse the load on the terminal body 2. At the same time, when the spring washer 603 is subjected to force, it deforms and absorbs the vibration energy, reducing the possibility of deformation or breakage of the terminal body.
