Grasp ring 19 and can be formed C shape ring, for example shown in Figure 13 and 15-17, it has solid cross-section.Alternatively, grasp V and/or U-shaped cross-section formation that ring 19 also can keep flat, for example shown in figure 14.In this embodiment; Grasp ring 19 and have grip surface 17 is biased into the spring performance with the outer diameter part surface engagement of outer conductor 11, rather than be merely according to grasp ring 19 with respect to the lengthwise position of wedge-shaped surface 39 and via grasp ring 19 radially inwardly the direct mechanical of motion connect.
When wedge-shaped surface 39 axial when traversing and/or the variable-diameter characteristic of the expansion/contraction that grasps ring 19 when running into any foozle of diameter of coaxial cable outer conductor 11 need have gap 52 (thereby, grasp ring 19 and be C shape) along the circumference that grasps ring 19.The width in gap 52 can be selected based on the difference that grasps the ring 19 minimum and maximum diameters that provide of expectation.
Grasp ring 19 grip surface 17 and have the directivity bias voltage and make when tensioning the outer diameter part surface that engages and grasp outer conductor 11 towards cut cable 15, allow outer conductor 11 when when connector end 25 moves, sliding through grip surface 17 simultaneously.Grip surface 17 can be formed (Figure 15-17) groove or the barb 47 of a plurality of annulars (Figure 13-14) or spiral; Said groove or barb 47 are provided with the inclined plane 49 of groove top that extends to the connector end 25 of each groove and/or barb 47 from the bottom portion of groove of cut cable 15, and the face 51 that only stops of adjacent grooves is converged to a point with inclined plane 49 at the top of groove.With the face 51 that only stops of inclined plane 49 opposed can be the face vertical with respect to the coaxial connector longitudinal axis; And/or only stop face 51 and can tilt towards connector end 25, so that the barb point digs into and keeps outer conductor 11 when attempting to advance towards the direction that cut cable 15 comes out from connector body hole 5.Grip surface 17 can be provided with the profile of characteristic of the specific solid outer conductor 11 of coupling, and for example size is suitable for mating the bow profile of wave groove of the solid outer conductor coaxial cable 13 of ripple of annular, for example shown in Figure 18 and 19.Similarly, crooked profile also can be the convex configuration, and its size is suitable for holding up (cradle) ripple peak.
Grasp the lengthwise movement scope that ring 19 has in grasping ring groove 27.When grasping ring 19 along wedge-shaped surface 39 towards connector end 25 when moving; For example when drawing the edge before the outer conductor 11 when cut cable 15 is inserted into the connector body hole 5 and contact the inclined plane 49 of grip surface 17; Grasping ring 19 will launch perhaps will begin equally towards connector end 25 lengthwise movement in grasping ring groove 27 to allow outer conductor to pass through.Because wedge-shaped surface 39 is tapered, therefore, when grasping ring 19, grasps ring groove 27 and increase with respect to the degree of depth that grasps ring 19 towards connector end 25 motions.Thereby, grasp that ring 19 can radially outward be expanded so that outer conductor 11 can be through grasping ring 19 and passing through towards connector end 25.On the contrary, in case expansion grasps ring 19 and grasps joint towards producing between the inside outer diameter part surface that is biased in grip surface 17 and outer conductor 11 of its relaxed state.If tension force is applied between connector body 3 and the coaxial cable 13 to draw outer conductor 11 towards cut cable 15; Grasping ring 19 abuts against cone-shaped wedge-shaped surface 39 and is driven; Reduce to grasp the degree of depth of ring groove 27 gradually, grasp ring 19 and be driven to along with grip surface 17 in the outer diameter part surface of outer conductor 11 and further increase and grasp conjugation thereby radially inwardly drive.Cut cable grasps the ring groove sidewall and can be sized to and be positioned at such position; Promptly in this position; Grasp ring diameter and be configured to make grip surface 17 firm engagement outer conductor 11, can radially inwardly not move and cause outer conductor 11 radially inwardly to subside above the permission level but grasp ring with respect to the outer conductor diameter.
In order to reduce to reveal through the RF in gap 52, can use overlapping notch features 54, wherein, the masked segment 56 that grasps first end 58 of ring 19 extends towards the respective cut part 60 of second end 64 that grasps ring 19, for example shown in Figure 20-25.When grasping ring diameter owing to contacting with wedge-shaped surface 39 when reducing, masked segment 56 extends across gap 52, and enters into notch portion 60, thus closing gap 52, and can not stop the changeability of the diameter that grasps ring 19.Gap 52 has reduced the RF leakage through it significantly through the sealing of overlapping notch features 54.
Realize with respect to grasping the flange edge 66 that further reduction that ring 19 RF reveals can be close to the connector end that grasps ring 19, for example shown in Figure 22-25.Flange edge 66 if exist, extends radially outwardly around the circumference that grasps ring 19, and comprises masked segment 56.Grasp ring groove 27 and can be formed with flange edge stage portion 80; Flange edge 66 is coupled in the said flange edge stage portion 80; Or substituting ground; Grasp and comprise the part that forms the flange edge stage portion between the connector end that ring groove 27 can be formed in connector body 3 and holding ring 31, for example shown in Figure 26 and 27.Flange edge 66 also can provide the additional loop mapping function that grasps, and flange edge 66 provided before the interconnection of the end of coaxial connector 1 and coaxial cable 13 and grasps the additional maintenance that ring 19 is grasping in the ring groove 27.
Grasp ring 19 and preferably formed by a kind of material, for example stainless steel or beallon, its hardness property is greater than the hardness property of the material of outer conductor 11, so that grip surface 17 can engage and grasp the outer diameter part of outer conductor 11 reliably.For the ease of making, gap 52 can be set in the stable state that grasps ring 19 and extend to the yardstick in the gap 52 greater than masked segment 56, encircles 19 thereby can have grasping of overlapping notch features 54 via traditional metal machining technique manufacturing.For fear of combining, block and hang on the wedge-shaped surface and/or the sharp edges of the wedge-shaped surface of swiping grasping to produce on ring 19 first and second ends, inclined-plane 69 can be applied to first end 58 and second end 64, for example shown in Figure 22-25.
Have in the process of assembling on the embodiment of holding ring 31 and the maintenance characteristic 29 that comprises holding ring screw thread 37 at cable; The limited lengthwise movement that obtains in the connector body 3 through the holding ring 31 that is threaded can be used for driving wedge-shaped surface 39 against grasping ring 19; Radially be moved into to grasp securely and engage will grasp ring 19, and need between connector body 3 and coaxial cable 13, not apply tension force with outer conductor 11.Further; Spring contacts 21 also is present among the embodiment that grasps in the ring groove 27 therein; Holding ring 31 is threaded onto operation in the connector body hole 5 and can be configured to directly apply and/or exerts pressure on spring contacts 21 via spacer 43 (if any), thus, spring contacts 21 towards outer conductor 11 radially to internal strain; Thereby increase the contact pressure between spring contacts 21 and the outer conductor 11, thereby improve electric coupling therebetween.
Please referring again to Figure 26 and 27, sheath seal 53 and/or outer conductor seal 45 can be arranged in the sheath groove 55 of cut cable 15 of contiguous coaxial connector 1.As shown in Figure 27, be resisted against under the situation on the outer conductor at seal, the size of outer conductor seal 45 is adapted at sealing between connector body hole 5 or holding ring 31 (if any) and the sheath 57.If there is holding ring 31, further holding ring seal 59 can be provided and be used between holding ring 31 and connector body 3, sealing.
