Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of radio frequency connectors, and in particular to an SMA connector with good waterproof performance. Background Technology
[0002] SMA connectors are widely used small threaded coaxial connectors characterized by wide bandwidth, superior performance, high reliability, and long lifespan. SMA connectors are suitable for connecting RF cables or microstrip lines in the RF loops of microwave equipment and digital communication systems. They are applicable to microwave applications up to 18 GHz. Applications include telecommunications, networking, wireless communication, and testing and measuring instruments.
[0003] A search of Chinese patents revealed publication number CN209786328U: a stable SMA connector, comprising a connector body, a push rod, and a threaded hole. A rubber sleeve is located on the right side of the connector body, and a first spring is housed inside the rubber sleeve. A sleeve frame is located on the right side of the rubber sleeve, and a fixing seat is located on the right side of the sleeve frame. The interior of the fixing seat is connected to the bottom of a tapered connector. The push rod is located on the left side inside the sleeve frame, and its two ends are respectively connected to one end of a first moving rod and a second moving rod. The intersection of the first and second moving rods is located inside the tapered connector. This stable SMA connector, with its push rod, allows for inward compression of the second spring connecting the other ends of the first and second moving rods when pressed. This facilitates the connection between the connector body and the connector socket.
[0004] Existing connectors are inconvenient to install and disassemble. Generally, connectors are connected to the head via threads, requiring repeated rotation of the connector during installation and disassembly, which is cumbersome, increases workload, and reduces work efficiency. They also have poor waterproof performance. While connectors typically have internal sealing rings for waterproofing, these rings can deform during use, causing a decrease in sealing performance, making them prone to water ingress, and affecting the stability of use. To solve the above problems, we propose an SMA connector with better waterproof performance. Utility Model Content

An adjusting thread 4 is formed on the surface of the connector body 1, and a fixing ring 5 is threaded onto the surface of the adjusting thread 4. A sliding cylinder 6 is slidably sleeved on the surface of the connector body 1, and a first spring 7 is provided between the sliding cylinder 6 and the fixing ring 5. Multiple trapezoidal grooves 8 are formed on the inner wall of the sliding cylinder 6, and multiple fixing balls 9 are provided on the inner wall of the connector body 1. A snap-fit groove 10 is formed on the surface of the connector head 3, and the snap-fit groove 10 snaps into the fixing balls 9. By moving the sliding cylinder 6, the trapezoidal grooves 8 move, causing the steel balls to disengage from the snap-fit groove 10, allowing the connector head 3 to be removed. This facilitates assembly and disassembly, reduces workload, and improves work efficiency. Rotating the fixing ring 5 changes the elastic force of the first spring 7, allowing adjustment of the preload of the first spring 7 and ensuring connection stability.
[0032] refer to Figure 2 The surface of the slide cylinder 6 is provided with a first anti-slip texture 14. By setting the first anti-slip texture 14, the hand slips and the slide cylinder 6 is moved easily.
[0033] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The surface of the adjusting thread 4 is threaded with a threaded ring 15. By setting the threaded ring 15, the fixed ring 5 is fixed, thereby improving stability.
[0034] refer to Figure 3 The number of fixed balls 9 is four, and the four fixed balls 9 are evenly distributed in a ring inside the connector body 1. By setting the number of fixed balls 9 to four, and the four fixed balls 9 being evenly distributed in a ring inside the connector body 1, the stability of the connection is improved.
[0035] Example 2:
[0036] refer to Figure 2 A telescopic ring 11 is slidably sleeved on the inner wall of the connector body 1. A second spring 12 is provided between the telescopic ring 11 and the inner wall of the connector body 1. A sealing gasket 13 is adhered to the surface of the telescopic ring 11 and contacts the connector head 3. By having the telescopic ring 11 drive the sealing gasket 13 to press against the connector head 3 under the action of the second spring 12, the waterproof performance can be achieved, the service life can be improved, and the stability of the connection can be guaranteed. In conjunction with the rubber sealing ring 17, the waterproof performance is further improved.
[0037] refer to Figure 2 The sealing gasket 13 is made of fluororubber, which makes it durable and provides a good seal.
[0038] refer to Figure 1 The surfaces of the fixed ring 5 and the threaded ring 15 are provided with second anti-slip textures 16. By providing the second anti-slip textures 16, the hands are prevented from slipping and the fixed ring 5 and the threaded ring 15 are made easier to rotate.
[0039] refer to Figure 2 The connector body 1 has a rubber sealing ring 17 embedded in its inner wall. By setting the rubber sealing ring 17, the sealing performance is improved.
[0040] Brief description of the usage process: Move the slide cylinder 6, which in turn moves the trapezoidal groove 8. Then move the connector 3, which in turn moves the snap-fit groove 10. The snap-fit groove 10 moves and causes the steel ball to slide into the trapezoidal groove 8 and disengage from the snap-fit groove 10. Remove the connector 3 to complete the disassembly. Insert the connector 3 into the connector body 1 and release the slide cylinder 6. Under the action of the first spring 7, the slide cylinder 6 drives the trapezoidal groove 8 to reset. The reset trapezoidal groove 8 pushes the fixed ball 9 to snap into the snap-fit groove 10, fixing the connector 3 and completing the installation, thus achieving the purpose of easy assembly and disassembly. Under the action of the second spring 12, the telescopic ring 11 drives the sealing gasket 13 to press against the connector 3. When the sealing gasket 13 deforms, the second spring 12 automatically compensates for it. Together with the rubber sealing ring 17, the connection is sealed, thus achieving good waterproof performance.
