[0020] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-5 The lightweight radio frequency coaxial connector housing structure shown includes a plug 2 and a socket 3 of a radio frequency connector 1, and a plurality of weight reduction slots 11 are provided on the radio frequency connector 1. In this embodiment, the lightweight RF coaxial connector housing structure is centered on the RF connector 1 and consists of a plug 2 and a socket 3. The overall structure achieves stable connection and lightweight design through the cooperation of multiple sets of structures. Multiple weight-reduction grooves 11 are formed on the outer wall of the RF connector 1 to reduce the overall weight while ensuring structural strength, making it suitable for application scenarios with high requirements for lightweight equipment.

[0022] Specifically, the plug 2 has multiple slots 21 on its outer wall, the socket 3 has multiple positioning grooves 31 on its outer wall, multiple plug blocks 22 are provided between multiple adjacent slots 21, a stabilizing ring 23 is fixed to the outer bottom of multiple plug blocks 22, multiple plug blocks 22 are matched and inserted into multiple positioning grooves 31, a fixing block 32 is provided between multiple adjacent positioning grooves 31, multiple fixing blocks 32 are matched and inserted into multiple slots 21, and a locking component 4 is provided on the top of the fixing block 32 and the bottom of the slot 21, the locking component 4 fixes the fixing block 32 to the bottom of the slot 21.

[0023] In this embodiment, multiple slots 21 are evenly formed circumferentially on the outer wall of the plug 2, and plug blocks 22 are formed between adjacent slots 21. An annular stabilizing ring 23 is fixed to the outer bottom of the plug block 22. The stabilizing ring 23 can enhance the structural stability of the plug block 22 and prevent the plug block 22 from deforming during insertion and removal. The outer wall of the socket 3 is provided with multiple positioning grooves 31 and fixing blocks 32 corresponding to the slots 21 and plug blocks 22 of the plug 2. The positioning grooves 31 are matched with the length and width of the plug block 22, and the fixing blocks 32 are matched with the length and depth of the slots 21. The depth of the positioning grooves 31 is less than the thickness of the fixing blocks 32, ensuring that the plug 2 and the socket 3 form a tight fit when they are connected.

[0024] Specifically, the locking component 4 includes a locking block 41 fixed to the top of the fixing block 32, a locking hook 42 on one side of the locking block 41, a locking groove 43 matching the locking block 41 at the bottom of the slot 21, an unlocking groove 44 on one side inside the locking groove 43, and an unlocking strip 45 installed inside the unlocking groove 44.

[0025] Specifically, the bottom side of the locking groove 43 is connected to the unlocking groove 44, that is, the unlocking bar 45 moves in the unlocking groove 44 and contacts the locking hook 42 on one side of the locking block 41 in the locking groove 43.

[0026] Specifically, the end of the unlocking bar 45 is provided with a limiting bar 46, and the opening of the unlocking groove 44 is provided with a limiting frame 47 that matches the limiting bar 46, that is, the unlocking bar 45 moves within the unlocking groove 44 and is restricted from moving out of the groove.

[0027] Specifically, the front of the unlocking strip 45 has multiple anti-slip markings 48.

[0028] In this embodiment, the locking component 4 is used to fix the plug 2 and the socket 3, including a locking block 41, a locking hook 42, a locking groove 43, an unlocking groove 44, an unlocking strip 45, a limiting strip 46, and a limiting frame 47. The locking block 41 is fixed to the top of the fixing block 32, and the locking hook 42 on one side is made of elastic material and has a certain deformation capability; the locking groove 43 is opened at the bottom of the slot 21 and is completely matched with the shape and size of the locking block 41; the unlocking groove 44 is connected to the bottom side of the locking groove 43, and the unlocking strip 45 installed inside can slide along the groove. The limiting strip 46 at the end cooperates with the limiting frame 47 at the opening of the unlocking groove 44 to prevent the unlocking strip 45 from moving out of the groove; the unlocking strip 45 has multiple anti-slip marks 48 on its front side to increase the friction during operation and facilitate the application of force.

[0029] Specifically, the positioning groove 31 is set on the outer wall of the socket 3, and the groove depth is less than the thickness of the fixing block 32. The depth of the insert block 22 matches the width of the positioning groove 31, and the slot 21 is set as a through groove, that is, its groove depth matches the thickness of the fixing block 32.

[0030] Specifically, the slot 21 matches the length of the fixing block 32, and the positioning slot 31 matches the length of the insert block 22.

[0031] Specifically, both the locking block 41 and the locking hook 42 are made of elastic material.

[0032] In this embodiment, the connection operation process is as follows: When it is necessary to connect the plug 2 to the socket 3, align the plug block 22 with the positioning groove 31 and the fixing block 32 with the slot 21, and apply axial pressure to push the plug 2 towards the socket 3. During this process, the fixing block 32 gradually inserts into the slot 21, and the locking block 41 enters the locking groove 43 along with the fixing block 32. The locking hook 42 undergoes elastic deformation due to the compression of the inner wall of the locking groove 43. When the locking block 41 is fully inserted into the locking groove 43, the locking hook 42 returns to its original shape and engages with the inner wall of the locking groove 43, completing the locking of the plug 2 and the socket 3. At this time, the stabilizing ring 23 is in contact with the outer wall of the socket 3, further improving the stability of the connection.

[0033] In this embodiment, the unlocking operation is as follows: To separate plug 2 from socket 3, push unlocking strip 45 along unlocking groove 44 towards locking groove 43 using anti-slip mark 48. The end of unlocking strip 45 contacts locking hook 42 and applies a pushing force, causing locking hook 42 to elastically deform and disengage from the inner wall of locking groove 43. At this point, pull plug 2 in the opposite direction, and fixing block 32 is pulled out of slot 21, while insertion block 22 disengages from positioning groove 31, thus separating plug 2 from socket 3. After unlocking, release unlocking strip 45, which returns to its initial position under the reverse force of locking hook 42. Limiting strip 46 contacts limiting frame 47, restricting the movement range of unlocking strip 45.

[0034] In this embodiment, by creating multiple weight-reduction slots 11 on the RF connector 1, the weight of the housing is significantly reduced without affecting the structural strength. Compared with traditional connector housings, it is more suitable for fields such as aerospace and mobile communications where the weight of the equipment is sensitive.

[0035] In this embodiment, the plug 2 and the socket 3 achieve circumferential positioning through multiple sets of cooperation between the plug block 22 and the positioning groove 31, and the fixing block 32 and the slot 21. With the support of the stabilizing ring 23, relative rotation is effectively prevented after connection. The locking hook 42 of the locking component 4 and the locking groove 43 are tightly engaged and can withstand a certain axial tension and vibration impact, ensuring stable connection in complex environments and uninterrupted signal transmission.

[0036] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
