Coaxial Cable Connection Seat With Integrated Joint Structure
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing connection methods for coaxial cables often result in inaccurate assembly, leading to signal transmission instability and increased replacement rates due to loosening and breakage of connectors during repeated assembly and disassembly processes.
Innovation Solution
A connection seat design featuring a base with trenches and a metal member, along with a press cover and flexible concatenation portion, allows for secure and detachable mounting of coaxial cables, eliminating the need for pre-assembly with joints and reducing material breakage by ensuring proper contact with the circuit board through a through-hole.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the connector is repeatedly unfastened and fastened to the joint seat, then the connection can be adjusted and repositioned, but the latch of the connector is likely to be loosened and broken, resulting in separation or poor contact
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the joint and joint seat into a single integrated structure, eliminating the separate connector component with its latch mechanism. This merging of components removes the latch entirely, preventing latch loosening and breakage while maintaining the ability to repeatedly connect and disconnect the coaxial cable through the integrated joint structure.
2Ease of manufacture
If the connector is assembled by crimping the coaxial cable and joint separately, then the connection can be formed, but assembly accuracy is affected and defects occur
Solution Approach 1:
The joint and joint seat are integrated into a single component, eliminating the separate crimping assembly step. The coaxial cable is directly mounted to the integrated structure through positioning features in the base, ensuring consistent assembly accuracy without the variability introduced by separate crimping operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated joint structure includes pre-formed positioning features and mounting structures that guide the coaxial cable into the correct position during assembly. This preliminary preparation of the joint structure ensures accurate cable placement and connection without requiring precise manual adjustment during the assembly process.
3Ease of operation
If a separate connector with latch is used to connect the coaxial cable, then the connection can be made and removed, but the latch loosens and breaks leading to poor contact
Solution Approach 1:
The connector functionality is merged into the integrated joint structure, eliminating the separate latch mechanism. The detachable connection is achieved through the integrated joint's mounting features that secure the coaxial cable without requiring a separate connector component with a latch, thereby maintaining contact stability during repeated operations.

AI summary
A connection seat includes a base including a top plate and a pedestal connected to each other, a metal member including a body and at least one grounding end, a press cover including a protruding portion, and a flexible concatenation portion connecting the base and the press cover. The base further includes a first trench located on the top plate, a second trench located between the top plate and the pedestal, and a through-hole running through the top plate and the pedestal. A coaxial cable can extend into the base along the first trench, to be detachably mounted to the base. The body extends into the second trench to engage the metal member with the base, and the grounding end extends out of the pedestal. When the concatenation portion is bent such that the press cover covers the top plate, the protruding portion correspondingly protrudes toward the through-hole.
