Coaxial Joint Structure With Movable Contact Alignment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional coaxial connectors are prone to deformation and misalignment of the central terminal with the contact member, leading to poor contact and transmission effects, and have a complex structure with poor anti-noise performance.
Innovation Solution
A joint and connector system featuring a seat body, a movable member, an elastic cushioning member, and a sleeve member, which provides a stable connection by allowing the movable member to move relative to the seat body, preventing deformation and misalignment, and enhancing durability and anti-noise performance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a conventional connector structure is used, then the connector can be manufactured and assembled, but the central terminal is easy to deform or misalign with the contact member due to improper operation, resulting in poor contact and poor transmission effects
Solution Approach 1:
The movable member is designed to move along the axial direction within the moving space of the seat body, allowing dynamic adjustment during insertion to accommodate operational variations and ensure reliable contact between the central terminal and contact member
Solution Approach 2:
The elastic cushioning member is pre-installed between the movable member and the central terminal to provide cushioning force, preventing deformation and misalignment of the central terminal before improper operation can cause damage
2Reliability
If a conventional connector structure is used, then the basic connection function is achieved, but the structure is complicated and has poor anti-noise effect and is not conductive to minimization and manufacturing
Solution Approach 1:
The connector is divided into distinct functional modules: a seat body with moving space, a movable member with insertion slot, an elastic cushioning member, and a sleeve member with abutting structure, allowing each component to be optimized independently for both performance and manufacturing
Solution Approach 2:
The elastic cushioning member acts as a flexible element that provides anti-noise protection and structural compliance without requiring complex rigid structures, simplifying the overall design while maintaining reliability
