Abstract
The invention relates to a coupling device for coaxial plug-in connectors, comprising a plug-in side end (16) for connecting to a coaxial plug-in connector (20), an end facing away from the plug-in side end, especially for connecting to a coaxial cable, a contact sleeve (10), which is configured in the form of a collet chuck (18) at the plug-in end, and an axially moveable locking sleeve (14) that overlaps the collet chuck (18). Said locking sleeve has an unlocking position in which the collet chuck (18) can be expanded and the coaxial plug-in connector (20) can be inserted into the coupling device until the collet chuck (18) snaps into a groove (22) on the coupling device side; and a locking position in which the collet chuck (18) cannot be expanded and the coaxial plug-in connector (20) cannot be detached from the coupling device. According to the invention, the arrangement is such that an end (28) of the locking sleeve (14) facing away from the plug-in side end of the coupling device has at least one radially elastic resilient section (30), which is configured in such a way that it interacts with a surface of the coupling device in such a way that when the locking sleeve (14) is pivoted out of the locking position, the radial pivoting movement of the elastically resilient section (30) of the locking sleeve (14) causes a restoring force to the locking position to be produced.
Description
' ~ . CA 02387867 2002-04-17 Coupler for coaxial plug connector The invention concerns a coupler for a coaxial plug connector with a plug-side end for connecting to a coaxial plug, s an end facing away from the plug-side end, particularly for connecting with a coaxial cable, a contact sleeve formed on the plug-side as collet and with a locking sleeve overlapping the collet and movable axially, having an unlocking position in which the collet is expansible and so that the coaxial plug may io be plugged into the coupler to the point of latching of the collet into a coupling-side groove, and also having a locking position in which the collet is not expansible and therefore the coaxial plug is not releasable from the coupler, according to the generic portion of Claim 1.
i5 Coaxial plug connectors of this type with snap mechanism are described, for instance, for an SMB series in the German norm DIN EN 122130. In these plug connectors, a collet-shaped contact sleeve of a coupler snaps into a groove of a plug. Thus the plug connection can only be loosened by application of an 2o appropriate force determined by the force of the snap connection. It has been found, however, that this plug connection loosens itself in undesirable manner under the influence, for instance, of vibration. In order to prevent this, it is already known to provide a locking sleeve on the coupler, 2s which in a locking position prevents expansion of the collet of the contact sleeve of the coupler and thus blocks withdrawal of the plug from the coupler. The mechanisms found on the market in this connection have the disadvantage, however, that the locking sleeve must either be brought manually into the locking position 30 or has a corresponding return mechanism for the locking sleeve with many individual parts having a complicated design and correspondingly high manufacturing and assembly costs.
The invention is therefore based on the aim of creating a coupler of the aforementioned type having a simple structure and simultaneously being functionally reliable in use and secure against unwanted loosening of the plug connection once made.
This aim is fulfilled according to the invention with a coupler of the aforementioned type having the features in Claim s 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are described in the other claims.
According to the invention, it is provided in a coupler of the aforementioned type that an end of the locking sleeve facing away from the plug-side end of the coupler has at least one io radially elastically sprung section so designed that it interacts with a surface of the coupler in such a manner that on axial displacement of the locking sleeve from the locking position through radial displacement of the elastically sprung section of the locking sleeve, a force is produced tending to i5 return it to the locking position.
This has the advantage that with automatic locking after insertion of the coaxial plug into the coupler, the plug has few parts and particularly the mechanism of the automatic return of the locking sleeve into the locking position is realised 2o exclusively through interaction of locking sleeve and coupler, without additional separate components. This makes the coupler according to the invention economical and simple in manufacturing and assembly, as well as functionally reliable in use. The solution according to the invention has the particular 2s advantage that it can also be realised economically for relatively small couplers.
The locking sleeve has, for instance, a first unlocking position for inserting the coaxial plug and a second unlocking position for releasing the coaxial plug from the coupler, 3o whereby, in the first unlocking position, the locking sleeve is pushed out of the locking position in the direction of the plug-side end of the coupler and, in the second unlocking position, in the direction of the end of the coupler facing away from the plug-side end.

The locking sleeve has, for instance, a first unlocking position for inserting the coaxial plug and a second unlocking position for releasing the coaxial plug from the coupler, 3o whereby, in the first unlocking position, the locking sleeve is pushed out of the locking position in the direction of the plug-side end of the coupler and, in the second unlocking position, in the direction of the end of the coupler facing away from the plug-side end.
To create the largest possible returning force on displacement of the locking sleeve, the end of the coupling sleeve facing away from the plug-side end of the coupler is designed collet-like.
s In a preferred embodiment, on the elastically sprung section of the locking sleeve, a cam and, on the surface of the coupler in the region of the cam, two opposed angled surfaces are formed, which are so arranged and designed that the cam, on displacement,of the locking sleeve out of the locking position, io glides along one of the angled surfaces according to the axial movement direction of the locking sleeve and causes a displacement of the elastically sprung section of the locking sleeve. The cam is preferably designed in one piece with the locking sleeve.
15 In an alternative preferred embodiment, on the surface of the coupler a cam and, on the elastically sprung section of the locking sleeve in the region of the cam, two opposed angled surfaces are formed, which are so arranged and designed that, on displacement of the locking sleeve out of the locking position, 2o one of the angled surfaces glides over the cam according to the axial movement direction of the locking sleeve and causes a displacement of the elastically sprung section of the locking sleeve. The angled surfaces are suitably designed in one piece with the locking sleeve.
2s In order to limit the axial movement of the locking sleeve, the angled surfaces have stop edges.
To provide for economical and automatic mass production, the locking sleeve is designed as injection moulded item, whereby the locking sleeve is made, for instance, from plastics.
3o To provide for a high degree of mechanical stability in the locking device, the locking sleeve has an inlaid metal part in the region of the locking device of the collet, particularly a brass part.

The invention will now be described in greater detail with the aid of the drawings. These show:
Fig. 1 a preferred embodiment of a coupler according to the invention in schematic side view, s Fig. 2 the coupler in Fig. 1 on insertion of a plug to create a coaxial plug connection in schematic side view and, Fig. 3 the coupler in Fig. 1 on release of a plug to separate a coaxial plug connection in schematic io side view.
The preferred embodiment illustrated in Fig. 1 of a coupler according to the invention comprises a contact sleeve 10, a central conductor 12 and a locking sleeve 14. The contact sleeve is designed at a plug-side end with a collet 18, into which a i5 plug 20 indicated with broken lines may be inserted. The internal diameter of the collet 18 and the external diameter of the plug 20 are so dimensioned that for insertion of the plug 20, the collet 18 must be expanded. The plug 20 also has a surrounding groove 22 into which, with plug 20 fully inserted 2o into the contact sleeve 10, the collet 18 latches and thus provides a certain resistance to release of plug 20 and contact sleeve 10.
The locking sleeve 14 is so designed at its plug-side end 16 that in a locking position shown in Fig. 1, it prevents 2s expansion of the collet 18 and therefore insertion or removal of the plug 20. For this purpose, the locking sleeve 14 has in the region 24 a suitable elevation 26, against which corresponding segments of the collet 18 make contact when the locking sleeve 14 is in the locking position shown in Fig. 1. Through this 3o contacting of the segments of the collet 18, expansion of same is prevented and insertion or removal of the plug 20 is blocked.
On an end 28 of the coupler facing away from the plug-side end, the locking sleeve 14 has a plurality of elastically sprung sections 30 arranged collet-like around the circumference of the locking sleeve 14. The elastically sprung sections 30 are so designed that they may be displaced elastically sprung in radial direction relative to the coupler. Each elastically sprung section 30 has a cam 32, which engages in a recess 34 in the s contact sleeve 10 of the coupler. The recess 34 is so designed with two angled surfaces 36 that on displacement of the locking sleeve 14 from the locking position shown in Fig. 1, the cam 32 glides along a respective angled surface 36 and thus leads to a displacement,of the elastically sprung sections 30 of the to locking sleeve 14. In this way, a restoring force results which automatically moves the locking sleeve 14 back into the locking position shown in Fig. 1 after its release.
As can be directly seen from Fig. 1, according to the invention a return mechanism to return the locking sleeve 14 i5 into the locking position is therefore realised in which only the locking sleeve 14 interacts with the contact sleeve 10, without additional separate parts. The axial movement of the locking sleeve 14 on the contact sleeve 10 is limited by suitable stops 38 of the recess 34 at the ends of the angled 2o surfaces 36. The cams 32 contact these stops 38 on corresponding displacement of the locking sleeve 14 and the locking sleeve 14 may not be moved any further axially.
Fig. 2 illustrates a first unlocking position of the locking sleeve 14 for insertion of the plug 20 into the contact 2s sleeve 10 with simultaneous expansion and latching of the collet 18 into the groove 22. The locking sleeve 14 is thereby pushed manually in the direction of the plug-side end 16 of the coupler, so that the corresponding segments of the collet 18 have a free space in radial direction for expansion of the 3o collet. For insertion, the coupler is manually gripped in the region of the locking sleeve 14 and the plug 20 and coupler pushed against each other, so that a force is exerted on the locking sleeve 14 in the direction of the arrow 40. Due to the resultant axial displacement of the locking sleeve 14 in the . ~ CA 02387867 2002-04-17 direction of the plug-side end 16 of the coupler according to the invention, the cams 32 slide along the angled surfaces 36 and so produce the elastic displacement of the elastically sprung sections 30, as visible from Fig. 2. The cams 32 and thus s the locking sleeve 14 are thereby subjected to a tension producing a restoring force in the direction of the locking position. As soon as the plug 20 is completely pushed-into the contact sleeve 10 and the collet 18 latches into the groove 22 of the plug 20, the locking sleeve 14 can be released, whereupon io the restoring force automatically moves the locking sleeve 14 axially back into the locking position according to Fig. 1. This force is generated by the deflected sections 30 of the locking sleeve 14.
Fig. 3 shows a second unlocking position of the locking is sleeve 14 for release of the coaxial plug connection and for extraction of the plug 20 from the contact sleeve 10. To this end, the plug 20 and the locking sleeve 14 are manually grasped and pulled away from each other, whereby a releasing force is produced in the direction of the arrow 42. Due to this force, 2o the locking sleeve 14 is axially displaced in the direction of an end of the coupler facing away from the plug-side end 26 and the segments of the collet 18 have corresponding free space in radial direction for expansion of the collet 18, so that they may be pulled out of the groove 22 of the plug 20. At the same z5 time, due to the cam 32 sliding along the angled surface 36, a corresponding restoring force is again produced, imposing a tension on the locking sleeve 14 in the direction of the locking position according to Fig. 1. As soon as the plug 20 is now completely pulled out of the contact sleeve 10, the locking 3o sleeve 14 may be released, whereupon under the restoring force due to the elastically deflected sections 30, the locking sleeve 14 automatically slides back in axial direction into the locking position according to Fig. 1.
Fig. 1 a preferred embodiment of a coupler according to the invention in schematic side view, s Fig. 2 the coupler in Fig. 1 on insertion of a plug to create a coaxial plug connection in schematic side view and, Fig. 3 the coupler in Fig. 1 on release of a plug to separate a coaxial plug connection in schematic io side view.
The preferred embodiment illustrated in Fig. 1 of a coupler according to the invention comprises a contact sleeve 10, a central conductor 12 and a locking sleeve 14. The contact sleeve is designed at a plug-side end with a collet 18, into which a i5 plug 20 indicated with broken lines may be inserted. The internal diameter of the collet 18 and the external diameter of the plug 20 are so dimensioned that for insertion of the plug 20, the collet 18 must be expanded. The plug 20 also has a surrounding groove 22 into which, with plug 20 fully inserted 2o into the contact sleeve 10, the collet 18 latches and thus provides a certain resistance to release of plug 20 and contact sleeve 10.
The locking sleeve 14 is so designed at its plug-side end 16 that in a locking position shown in Fig. 1, it prevents 2s expansion of the collet 18 and therefore insertion or removal of the plug 20. For this purpose, the locking sleeve 14 has in the region 24 a suitable elevation 26, against which corresponding segments of the collet 18 make contact when the locking sleeve 14 is in the locking position shown in Fig. 1. Through this 3o contacting of the segments of the collet 18, expansion of same is prevented and insertion or removal of the plug 20 is blocked.
On an end 28 of the coupler facing away from the plug-side end, the locking sleeve 14 has a plurality of elastically sprung sections 30 arranged collet-like around the circumference of the locking sleeve 14. The elastically sprung sections 30 are so designed that they may be displaced elastically sprung in radial direction relative to the coupler. Each elastically sprung section 30 has a cam 32, which engages in a recess 34 in the s contact sleeve 10 of the coupler. The recess 34 is so designed with two angled surfaces 36 that on displacement of the locking sleeve 14 from the locking position shown in Fig. 1, the cam 32 glides along a respective angled surface 36 and thus leads to a displacement,of the elastically sprung sections 30 of the to locking sleeve 14. In this way, a restoring force results which automatically moves the locking sleeve 14 back into the locking position shown in Fig. 1 after its release.
As can be directly seen from Fig. 1, according to the invention a return mechanism to return the locking sleeve 14 i5 into the locking position is therefore realised in which only the locking sleeve 14 interacts with the contact sleeve 10, without additional separate parts. The axial movement of the locking sleeve 14 on the contact sleeve 10 is limited by suitable stops 38 of the recess 34 at the ends of the angled 2o surfaces 36. The cams 32 contact these stops 38 on corresponding displacement of the locking sleeve 14 and the locking sleeve 14 may not be moved any further axially.
Fig. 2 illustrates a first unlocking position of the locking sleeve 14 for insertion of the plug 20 into the contact 2s sleeve 10 with simultaneous expansion and latching of the collet 18 into the groove 22. The locking sleeve 14 is thereby pushed manually in the direction of the plug-side end 16 of the coupler, so that the corresponding segments of the collet 18 have a free space in radial direction for expansion of the 3o collet. For insertion, the coupler is manually gripped in the region of the locking sleeve 14 and the plug 20 and coupler pushed against each other, so that a force is exerted on the locking sleeve 14 in the direction of the arrow 40. Due to the resultant axial displacement of the locking sleeve 14 in the . ~ CA 02387867 2002-04-17 direction of the plug-side end 16 of the coupler according to the invention, the cams 32 slide along the angled surfaces 36 and so produce the elastic displacement of the elastically sprung sections 30, as visible from Fig. 2. The cams 32 and thus s the locking sleeve 14 are thereby subjected to a tension producing a restoring force in the direction of the locking position. As soon as the plug 20 is completely pushed-into the contact sleeve 10 and the collet 18 latches into the groove 22 of the plug 20, the locking sleeve 14 can be released, whereupon io the restoring force automatically moves the locking sleeve 14 axially back into the locking position according to Fig. 1. This force is generated by the deflected sections 30 of the locking sleeve 14.
Fig. 3 shows a second unlocking position of the locking is sleeve 14 for release of the coaxial plug connection and for extraction of the plug 20 from the contact sleeve 10. To this end, the plug 20 and the locking sleeve 14 are manually grasped and pulled away from each other, whereby a releasing force is produced in the direction of the arrow 42. Due to this force, 2o the locking sleeve 14 is axially displaced in the direction of an end of the coupler facing away from the plug-side end 26 and the segments of the collet 18 have corresponding free space in radial direction for expansion of the collet 18, so that they may be pulled out of the groove 22 of the plug 20. At the same z5 time, due to the cam 32 sliding along the angled surface 36, a corresponding restoring force is again produced, imposing a tension on the locking sleeve 14 in the direction of the locking position according to Fig. 1. As soon as the plug 20 is now completely pulled out of the contact sleeve 10, the locking 3o sleeve 14 may be released, whereupon under the restoring force due to the elastically deflected sections 30, the locking sleeve 14 automatically slides back in axial direction into the locking position according to Fig. 1.
It directly follows from the above that on manual plugging of coupler and plug 20, when holding the coupler by the locking sleeve 14, this is automatically pushed by the manually applied force (arrow 40 or 42) into the correct unlocking position s according to Fig. 2 or Fig. 3 and automatically moves back after insertion of the plug 20 into the coupler or after release of the plug 20 from the coupler into the locking position according to Fig. 1, where undesired release of the plug connection, for instance through vibration, is effectively prevented. Therefore, io the respective movement direction of the locking sleeve 14 required for insertion or release of the plug 20 simultaneously corresponds to a direction of a corresponding manual force exercised between coupler and plug 20 for plugging or unplugging. Thus the coupler according to the invention may be 15 handled intuitively and without particular attention for the making or releasing of a coaxial plug connection, whereby the user need not exercise thought, particularly about the required unlocking position of the locking sleeve 14. The correct unlocking position is automatically produced on pressing 2o together the coupler and plug 20 when making the coaxial plug connection and when pulling apart coupler and plug 20 to release the coaxial plug connection.
Furthermore, the plug connection is also releasable manually only by conscious appropriate holding of the coupler by 2s the locking sleeve 14, since otherwise, even when applying force between coupler and plug 20 in the releasing direction 42 (Fig.
3), the locking sleeve 14 remains in the locking position according to Fig. 1 and release of the plug 20 from the collet 18 of the contact sleeve 10 is prevented. In other words, 3o extraction of the coupler from the plug 20 by accidental traction loading of the coaxial cable attached to the coupler is prevented.
The mechanism according to the invention achieves with only one single part, namely the cam 32 formed on the section 30, an automatic axial restoring movement into the locking position from both displacement directions. This is achieved thereby that the radially sprung cams 32 on the locking sleeve 14 slide downwards by compression against the angled surfaces 36 on the s contact sleeve 10 and thus move the locking sleeve 14 back into the locking position.
