DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0047] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0048] In addition, when an element in the present invention is referred to as being "fixed to" or "disposed on" another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be an intermediate element. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only implementation method.

[0049] 1 to 4 , the coaxial cable connector of the embodiment of the present invention includes a first connecting terminal 1 and a second connecting terminal 2 adapted to the first connecting terminal 1 . The first connecting terminal 1 and the second connecting terminal 2 can establish an electrical connection and are respectively connected to a cable.

[0050] The coaxial cable connector further comprises:

[0051] A pipe fitting 3 is rotatably mounted on the second connecting terminal 2, and two sets of sliding limiting structures are provided between the outer wall of the pipe fitting 3 and the inner wall of the first connecting terminal 1;

[0052] An elastic support structure is installed on the first connecting terminal 1 , and the elastic support structure can store elastic potential energy when the second connecting terminal 2 is inserted into the first connecting terminal 1 , and release the elastic potential energy after the tube 3 rotates.

[0053] The sliding limiting structure includes a boss 4 provided on the outer wall of the pipe 3 and a groove provided on the inner wall of the first connecting terminal 1. The groove is adapted to the boss 4 and includes a first axial section 101, an arc section 102 and a second axial section 103 connected to each other.

[0054] The elastic support structure includes a first ring body 104 fixed to the outer wall of the first connecting terminal 1 and a second ring body 7 slidably mounted on the outer wall of the first connecting terminal 1. Multiple sets of elastic connectors are equidistantly arranged along the circumference between the first ring body 104 and the second ring body 7. The elastic connectors include a connecting post 5 mounted on the second ring body 7 and a first cylindrical spring 6 sleeved around the outer circumference of the connecting post 5. The connecting post 5 passes through the first ring body 104 and is slidably connected to the first ring body 104. The two ends of the first cylindrical spring 6 respectively connect the first ring body 104 and the second ring body 7. Multiple push rods 301 are also provided on the outer wall of the pipe 3.

[0055] In actual use, the second connecting terminal 2 is inserted into the first connecting terminal 1 (aligning the boss 4 with the first axial segment 101) until the boss 4 slides along the first axial segment 101 to the connecting inflection point of the first axial segment and the arc segment 102. During this process, the push rod 301 pushes the second ring body 7, causing the second ring body to slide toward the first ring body 104, and the first cylindrical spring 6 is compressed.

[0056] Subsequently, the tube 3 is rotated until the boss 4 slides along the arc segment 102 to the connecting inflection point between the arc segment and the second axial segment 103, and then the tube 3 is released. The first cylindrical spring 6 will rebound, and the boss 4 will be transferred from the connecting inflection point between the arc segment 102 and the second axial segment 103 to the end of the second axial segment 103 away from the arc segment 102. Under the action of the elastic supporting force of the first cylindrical spring 6, the first connecting terminal 1 and the second connecting terminal 2 are stably connected.

[0057] In summary, through the mutual cooperation between various structures and components, an effective connection function between cables is achieved, and when the connector is actually used, only three steps of insertion, rotation and release are required. The installation and disassembly process is convenient and quick. Compared with the existing threaded connection, it can save operation time, effectively improve work efficiency, and avoid the problem of thread wear and failure. It has better durability and is suitable for promotion and use.

[0058] Referring again to FIG. 5 to FIG. 13 , as another embodiment of the present invention, an assembly device is provided for assembling the coaxial cable connector and the cable, comprising a base 8 and a riser 9 mounted on the base 8, and further comprising:

[0059] An assembly plate 10 is rotatably mounted on the base 8. The assembly plate 10 is provided with a clamping mechanism for fixing the cable. The rotation axis of the assembly plate 10 is connected to a bidirectional transverse movement mechanism mounted on the vertical plate 9. The bidirectional transverse movement mechanism can drive the assembly plate 10 to rotate.

[0060] The connecting plate 48 is connected to the bidirectional transverse movement mechanism via an elastic trigger mechanism, and a first pulley 49 and a second pulley 50 are mounted on the connecting plate 48. The bidirectional transverse movement mechanism can drive the connecting plate 48 to move laterally and cause the elastic trigger mechanism to be triggered at the end point of the travel of the connecting plate 48.

[0061] a glue supply head 11 movably mounted on the base 8 and connected to a first driven mechanism mounted on the base 8 and capable of cooperating with the first pulley 49, wherein the first driven mechanism is capable of driving the glue supply head 11 toward the cable to apply glue to the cable;

[0062] The adsorption head 12 and the pressure wheel 13 are movably arranged on the base 8, and are respectively connected to the second driven mechanism and the third driven mechanism, and the second driven mechanism and the third driven mechanism can cooperate with the second pulley 50 in sequence, so that the second driven mechanism drives the adsorption head 12 to transfer the first connecting terminal 1 or the second connecting terminal 2 to the gluing position on the cable, and the third driven mechanism drives the pressure wheel 13 to roll the gluing position.

[0063] It should be supplemented that the ends of the first connecting terminal 1 and the second connecting terminal 2 are further provided with rubber rings (not numbered in the figure), which are used to adhere to the cable by glue.

[0064] Furthermore (see FIG. 10 ), the clamping mechanism includes a bidirectional screw 51 rotatably mounted on the assembly plate 10 , two transverse plates 53 symmetrically arranged on the bidirectional screw and threadedly connected thereto, and two clamping plates 54 respectively mounted on the two transverse plates 53 .

[0065] Arc-shaped grooves are provided on opposite sides of the two clamping plates 54 for placing cables. A column 52 is also installed on the assembly plate 10 . The column 52 passes through the two transverse plates 53 and is slidably connected to the two transverse plates 53 .

[0066] When in use, the cable is placed between the two clamps 54, and then the bidirectional screw rod 51 is rotated. The column 52 guides the two cross plates 53, so that the two cross plates 53 are simultaneously threadedly engaged with the bidirectional screw rod 51 and move closer to each other. The cable can thus be stably clamped and fixed between the two clamps 54.

[0067] It should be noted that when placing the cable, the end of the cable needs to extend a certain length to facilitate subsequent assembly.

[0068] After the cable is fixed, the bidirectional transverse mechanism works forward, driving the assembly plate 10 to rotate the cable. At this time, the bidirectional transverse mechanism drives the connecting plate 48 to drive the first pulley 49 and the second pulley 50 to move toward one side. During this process, the first pulley 49 will cooperate with the first follower mechanism, while the second pulley 50 will not cooperate with the second follower mechanism and the third follower mechanism. The first follower mechanism thus drives the glue supply head 11 to approach the cable and then away from the cable, cooperating with the rotation of the cable to apply glue to the outer wall of the cable. After the connecting plate 48 reaches the end of its stroke, the elastic trigger mechanism moves, causing the connecting plate 48 to move upward, thereby changing the height of the first pulley 49 and the second pulley 50. The first pulley 49 is offset from the first follower mechanism, while the second pulley 50 is aligned with the second follower mechanism and the third follower mechanism.

[0069] Subsequently, the bidirectional transverse movement mechanism works in the opposite direction, driving the connecting plate 48 to drive the first pulley 49 and the second pulley 50 to make a return movement toward the other side. During this process, the first pulley 49 does not cooperate with the first follower mechanism, and the second pulley 50 will cooperate with the second follower mechanism and the third follower mechanism in turn. The second follower mechanism drives the adsorption head 12 (by adsorbing the first connection terminal 1 or the second connection terminal 2 through negative pressure) close to the cable end (along the axial direction of the cable), transferring the first connection terminal 1 or the second connection terminal 2 to the end of the cable, so that the first connection terminal 1 or the second connection terminal 2 can be adhered to the cable by glue. Then the third follower mechanism will drive the pressure wheel 13 to move toward the cable. In conjunction with the rotation of the cable, the pressure wheel 13 can roll the part of the cable coated with glue, thereby improving the tightness of the adhesion between the rubber ring on the first connection terminal 1 or the second connection terminal 2 and the cable, thereby improving the assembly effect.

[0070] In summary, during the assembly process, the various mechanisms and components cooperate with each other, so that the glue supply head 11, the adsorption head 12 and the pressure wheel 13 perform glue coating, feeding and rolling work in turn. The entire assembly process is carried out in an orderly manner and the degree of assembly automation is high.

[0071] Referring again to Figure 10 , the first driven mechanism comprises two vertical rods 14 fixed to the base 8, two horizontal rods 15 slidably mounted on the vertical rods 14, and two second cylindrical springs 18 respectively sleeved around the outer circumferences of the horizontal rods 15. A mounting plate 16 is provided at one end of the horizontal rods 15, to which the adhesive supply head 11 is mounted. A first driven plate 17 is provided at the other end of the horizontal rods 15. The first driven plate 17 comprises a first inclined portion 1701, a first straight portion 1702, and a second inclined portion 1703, which are connected to each other.

[0072] During forward operation of the bidirectional transverse movement mechanism, the first pulley 49 is at the same height as the first driven plate 17, while the second pulley 50 is offset from the second and third driven mechanisms. Consequently, the first pulley 49 rolls sequentially along the first inclined portion 1701, the first straight portion 1702, and the second inclined portion 1703. As the first pulley 49 rolls on the first inclined portion 1701, it forces the first driven plate 17 toward the vertical rod 14, compressing the second cylindrical spring 18. Consequently, the first driven plate 17 pushes the mounting plate 16 via the two transverse rods 15, driving the glue applicator 11 toward the cable. Once the first pulley 49 rolls onto the first straight portion 1702, the glue applicator 11 moves to the appropriate gluing position, applying glue to the cable. Finally, the first pulley 49 disengages from the first straight portion 1702 and abuts against the second inclined portion 1703. At this time, the second cylindrical spring 18 rebounds, and the mounting plate 16 drives the glue supply head 11 to slowly move away from the cable (it should be pointed out that the provision of the second inclined portion 1703 can avoid the instantaneous rebound of the second cylindrical spring 18, ensure that the glue supply head 11 slowly resets, and avoid the glue on the cable being dragged due to the glue supply head 11 resetting too quickly, affecting the uniformity of the glue application), and the gluing is completed.

[0073] Referring again to Figures 6, 8, 11, and 12, the second follower mechanism comprises two guide rods 20 fixed to the base 8 via a protruding block 19, a mounting seat 21 slidably mounted on the two guide rods 20, and two third cylindrical springs 22 respectively sleeved around the outer circumferences of the two guide rods 20. The suction head 12 is mounted on the mounting seat 21, with the ends of the third cylindrical spring 22 connecting the protruding block 19 and the mounting seat 21, respectively. A connecting plate 24 is provided at the bottom of the mounting seat 21 via a fixed post 23. The base 8 is provided with a through slot for the fixed post 23 to move. The connecting plate 24 is provided with a second inclined slot 2401. A second follower plate 26 is also slidably mounted on the vertical plate 9. One end of the second follower plate 26 is provided with a driving post 25 that extends into the second inclined slot 2401 and is slidably connected to the connecting plate 24. The other end of the second follower plate 26 is formed with a connected third inclined portion 2601 and a second straight portion 2602.

[0074] During the reverse operation of the bidirectional transverse movement mechanism, the second pulley 50 is at the same height as the third inclined portion 2601 and the second straight portion 2602. The second pulley 50 will pass through the third inclined portion 2601 and the second straight portion 2602 in sequence. When the second pulley 50 rolls along the third inclined portion 2601, the second driven plate 26 is prompted to give way, so that the driving column 25 slides with the connecting plate 24 through the second inclined groove 2401, thereby causing the connecting plate 24 to drive the mounting seat 21 and the adsorption head 12 toward the cable end through the fixed column 23. The third cylindrical spring 22 is compressed, and the first connecting terminal 1 or the second connecting terminal 2 is transferred to the cable. After the second pulley 50 disengages from the second straight portion 2602, the third cylindrical spring 22 rebounds, and the mounting seat 21 drives the adsorption head 12 to move away from the cable and reset, thereby ending the transfer action of the first connecting terminal 1 or the second connecting terminal 2.

[0075] Referring again to Figures 6 and 11 , the third follower mechanism comprises two follower rods 28 slidably mounted on the vertical plate 9, and a third follower plate 27 fixedly connected to one end of the two follower rods 28. The pressure wheel 13 is mounted to the other ends of the two follower rods 28 via two sets of elastic telescopic rods. The third follower plate 27 includes a fourth inclined portion 2701 and a third straight portion 2702 connected to each other. The follower rods 28 also have an annular protrusion 29, which is connected to a fourth cylindrical spring 30 sleeved around the outer circumference of the follower rods 28. The fourth cylindrical spring 30, with its end away from the annular protrusion 29, is connected to the vertical plate 9.

[0076] It should be emphasized that the third inclined portion 2601, the second straight portion 2602, the fourth inclined portion 2701, and the third straight portion 2702 are all at the same height. After the second pulley 50 detaches from the second straight portion 2602 and rolls along the fourth inclined portion 2701, it causes the third driven plate 27 to move toward the vertical plate 9, compressing the fourth cylindrical spring 30. Accordingly, the driven rod 28, via two sets of elastic telescopic rods, drives the pressure wheel 13 into contact with the rubber ring, causing it to apply a certain amount of pressure to the rubber ring. As the cable rotates, the pressure wheel 13 acts as a rolling force, thereby eliminating any gaps in the colloid and ensuring a tight bond. After the second pulley 50 detaches from the third driven plate 27, the fourth cylindrical spring 30 rebounds, causing the pressure wheel 13 to return to its original position, ending the rolling process.

[0077] Referring again to Figures 5, 7, 9, and 13, the bidirectional traverse mechanism includes a one-way screw 32 rotatably mounted on the vertical plate 9, a threaded sleeve 33 sleeved on and threadedly connected to the one-way screw 32, and a drive motor 31 mounted on one side of the vertical plate 9. One end of the one-way screw 32 is connected to the output end of the drive motor 31. The threaded sleeve 33 is fixedly connected to a rack plate 34 via a vertical plate 39. The rack plate meshes with a gear 35 rotatably mounted on the vertical plate 9. The rotational axis of the gear 35 is connected to a transmission shaft 37 rotatably mounted on the vertical plate 9 via a bevel gear set 36. The transmission shaft is connected to the rotational axis of the assembly plate 10 via a transmission belt 38.

[0078] It should be noted that the drive motor 31 should be a servo motor with a bidirectional output end, so as to drive the one-way screw 32 to rotate in the forward or reverse direction, so that the threaded sleeve 33 can move laterally by engaging with the thread of the one-way screw 32. During the movement of the threaded sleeve 33, the rack plate 34 is driven to move together via the vertical plate 39, and the rack plate drives the gear 35 to rotate. The rotating shaft of the gear drives the transmission shaft 37 to rotate via the bevel gear set 36, and the transmission shaft drives the assembly plate 10 to rotate via the transmission belt 38, thereby ensuring the comprehensiveness of subsequent gluing and rolling.

[0079] Specifically, the bevel gear set 36 includes a first bevel gear coaxially mounted with the gear 35 and a second bevel gear mounted on the end of the transmission shaft 37 , and the second bevel gear is meshed with the first bevel gear.

[0080] A slider 40 is slidably provided on the vertical plate 39, and the elastic trigger mechanism includes two cylinders 44 fixed on the slider 40 and two rods 45 slidably fitted with the two cylinders respectively. A ring 43 is fixed on the rod 45, and a fifth cylindrical spring 46 and a sixth cylindrical spring 47 are connected to both sides of the ring 43 respectively. The fifth cylindrical spring 46 and the sixth cylindrical spring 47 are both sleeved on the outer circumference of the rod 45, and the end of the two away from the ring 43 abuts against the inner wall of the cylinder 44.

[0081] The connecting plate 48 is fixed to one end of two rods 45, and the other ends of the two rods 45 are provided with second driven posts 42. The slider 40 is provided with a first driven post 41. The first driven post 41 and the second driven post 42 respectively extend into a rectangular slot and a first inclined slot 905 provided on the vertical plate 9, and are slidably connected to the vertical plate 9. The rectangular slot includes a first horizontal section 901, a first vertical section 902, a second horizontal section 903, and a second vertical section 904.

[0082] During the forward operation of the drive motor 31, the first driven column 41 slides along the first inclined groove 905, thereby causing the slider 40 to give way, and the slider 40 thereby drives the cylinder 44 to rise. Since the second driven column 42 slides within the first horizontal section 901 during this process, the rod 45 does not move in the vertical direction. The fifth cylindrical spring 46 is compressed. When the second driven column 42 slides to the inflection point where the first horizontal section 901 and the first vertical section 902 are connected (the gluing process is now complete), the fifth cylindrical spring 46 rebounds, causing the rod 45 to move upward until the second driven column 42 moves from the inflection point where the first horizontal section 901 and the first vertical section 902 are connected to the inflection point where the first vertical section 902 and the second horizontal section 903 are connected. Correspondingly, the rod 45 drives the connecting plate 48, the first pulley 49 and the second pulley 50 to move upward, so that the first pulley 49 is staggered with the first driven plate 17, and the second pulley 50 reaches the same height as the second driven plate 26 and the third driven plate 27, so as to facilitate the subsequent loading and rolling operations during the reverse operation of the drive motor 31.

[0083] During the reverse operation of the drive motor 31, the first driven column 41 will slide along the first inclined groove 905 again, and the first driven column 41 will slide in the second horizontal section 903 toward the second vertical section 904, and the slider 40 moves downward on the vertical plate 39. The sixth column spring 47 is compressed. After the first driven column 41 reaches the connecting inflection point of the second horizontal section 903 and the second vertical section 904 (at this time the loading and rolling process has ended), the sixth column spring 47 rebounds, causing the rod 45 to move downward, and the first driven column 41 moves to the connecting inflection point of the second vertical section 904 and the first horizontal section 901. The second pulley 50 is staggered with the second driven plate 26 and the third driven plate 27, and the first pulley 49 returns to a position at the same height as the first driven plate 17.

[0084] As another embodiment of the present invention, a method for assembling a cable connector is also provided, using the assembly device described above, comprising the following steps:

[0085] Step 1: Fix the cable to the assembly plate 10 through the clamping mechanism;

[0086] Step 2: The bidirectional traverse mechanism works in the forward direction, triggering the first driven mechanism to drive the glue supply head 11 toward the cable to apply glue to the cable;

[0087] In step three, the bidirectional transverse movement mechanism works in reverse, triggering the second follower mechanism and the third follower mechanism in turn. The second follower mechanism drives the adsorption head 12 to move toward the end of the cable to feed the cable to the gluing area. The third follower mechanism drives the pressure wheel 13 to move close to the gluing area of ​​the cable to roll the gluing area.
