Detailed Description
Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like or similar reference numerals refer to like or similar elements or elements having like or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are illustrative only and are not to be construed as limiting the invention.
The radio frequency adapter 1 shown in fig. 1-3 can be installed in a passive radio frequency device automatic test system 1000, and is used as a special adapter for testing the passive radio frequency device automatic test system 1000, and is used for connecting with a radio frequency device to be tested, realizing quick connection of a test cable and the radio frequency device to be tested, protecting the test cable and facilitating testing of the radio frequency device to be tested.
The radio frequency adapter 1 comprises an adapter main body 11, two ends of which are respectively provided with a cable connection end 111 and an adapter male head 112, and a mounting sleeve 12, an elastic element 13 and a male head shell 14 which are sequentially sleeved on the adapter main body 11 from the cable connection end 111 to the adapter male head 112. The cable connection end 111 is used for connecting with a test cable to input a test signal, and the male housing 14 is used for sleeving with a female of a radio frequency device to be tested to test the radio frequency device to be tested (refer to fig. 4).
The mounting sleeve 12 is provided with a first through hole 121 and is sleeved on the adapter main body 11 by means of the first through hole 121, the mounting sleeve 12 can axially move along the adapter main body 11 under the action of external force, and the elastic element 13 is sprung between the mounting sleeve 12 and the male housing 14 and radially suspended in the adapter main body 11.
The outer periphery of the cable connection end 111 is provided with a threaded portion 1111, a limit boss 113 is arranged near the threaded portion 1111, and a clamping boss 114 is arranged near the adaptor male head 112. The mounting sleeve 12 and the elastic element 13 are both positioned between the limiting boss 113 and the clamping boss 114, and the male housing 14 is fixedly connected to the clamping boss 114. A gap for radial adjustment of the main body of the radio frequency adapter 1 is reserved between the first through hole 121 and the adapter main body 11.
The floating adjustment process of the radio frequency adapter 1 is as follows: the installation sleeve 12 drives the whole radio frequency adapter 1 to move towards the radio frequency device to be tested under the action of external force, when the male head shell 14 of the radio frequency adapter 1 is propped against the female head of the radio frequency device to be tested, the installation sleeve 12 is further driven to axially move along the adapter main body 11 under the action of external force, and then the elastic element 13 is compressed, so that the female head and the male head shell 14 of the radio frequency device to be tested gradually reach a tightening state, and axial adjustment is realized. In this process, if the female and male housings 14 of the rf device to be tested have a positional deviation, since the male housing 14 is fixedly connected to the positioning boss 114 and a gap is provided between the first through hole 121 of the mounting sleeve 12 and the adapter main body 11, the adapter main body 11 is suspended in the mounting sleeve 12, and when the female and male housings 14 of the rf device to be tested have a handling deviation, the female of the rf device to be tested will generate a reaction force on the male housing 14, so that the adapter main body 11 can move radially in the gap distance towards the female direction, thereby realizing a floating adjustment in the radial direction. Therefore, the radio frequency adapter 1 provided by the embodiment of the invention can realize radial 360-degree and axial floating adjustment, so that the matching surface of the male head shell 14 and the female head of the radio frequency device to be tested are tightly attached, and the reliability of the test index is improved.
In the embodiment of the invention, the radio frequency adapter 1 only comprises an adapter main body 11, a mounting sleeve 12, an elastic element 13 and a male head shell 14, and has the advantages of simple structure, easy processing and low production cost; and the adapter main body 11 is integrally formed, so that the overall test index is more stable, the mounting sleeve 12, the elastic element 13 and the male head shell 14 can complete the assembly work of the radio frequency adapter 1 only by being sleeved on the adapter main body 11, and the mounting and the dismounting are simpler and more convenient, thereby being suitable for mass production.
In addition, the radio frequency adapter 1 is sleeved on the adapter main body 11 by adopting the elastic element 13, and the mounting sleeve 12 and the male head shell 14 are tightly propped, so that the connection between the radio frequency adapter 1 and the radio frequency connector to be tested is more flexible, rather than hard plug, the abrasion of the radio frequency adapter 1 is reduced, and the service life is longer.
Preferably, the elastic element 13 is an olive-shaped spring. The olive-shaped spring is a special spring with a large middle diameter and gradually reduced diameters at two ends. The maximum diameter of the olive-shaped spring abuts against the inner side wall of the cylindrical housing 122 to limit the position of the olive-shaped spring in the mounting sleeve 12, so that the adaptor main body 11 can be automatically adjusted easily and accurately and finally automatically reset in a state that the external force disappears after radial floating adjustment is realized, and the testing efficiency and the testing precision are improved. It should be noted that, because the maximum diameter of the olive-shaped spring abuts against the inner side wall of the cylindrical housing 122, a certain friction force is provided between the spring compression process and the spring release elastic potential energy restoring process and the inner side wall of the cylindrical housing 122, and the friction force can be adjusted by setting the number of turns and the thickness of the olive-shaped spring, so that the maximum diameter of the olive-shaped spring is always located in the cylindrical housing 122 to limit the position of the olive-shaped spring in the mounting sleeve 12.
In addition, the pressing force of the radio frequency adapter 1 can be adjusted by replacing the olive springs with different thicknesses and turns. As described above, the radio frequency adapter 1 according to the present invention includes the adapter body 11, the mounting sleeve 12, the elastic element 13 and the male housing 14, and since the adapter body 11 adopts an integrally formed structure, the radio frequency adapter 1 according to the present invention has a simple structure and is easy to install. Of course, the disassembly of the olive-shaped spring is also simple and convenient, so that the pressing force of the radio frequency adapter 1 can be adjusted by changing the olive-shaped spring with different thickness and turns to be suitable for external radio frequency devices (such as 7/16 type head, N type head and radio frequency devices of 4.3-10 type head) with different types, and the radio frequency adapter 1 has wider use orientation and stronger adaptability.
Preferably, the opposite end surfaces of the mounting sleeve 12 and the male housing 14 are respectively provided with a spring mounting groove 1231, and two ends of the olive-shaped spring are respectively arranged in the spring mounting grooves 1231, so as to be capable of being sprung between the mounting sleeve 12 and the male housing 14. The elastic member 13 in the present invention is not limited to the olive spring.
Preferably, the mounting sleeve 12 includes the cylindrical housing 122 and a limiting plate 123 connected to one end thereof, and the first through hole 121 and the spring mounting groove 1231 are formed on the limiting plate 123.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the diameter of the first through hole 121 is larger than the axial diameter of the adaptor body 11 to form a gap for radial adjustment of the body of the radio frequency adaptor 1. The radial limit adjustment size of the radio frequency adapter 1 can be adjusted by adjusting the gap between the first through hole 121 and the adapter body 11. When the diameter of the first through hole 121 is larger than the axial diameter of the adaptor body 11, the larger the gap between the first through hole 121 and the adaptor body 11 is, the larger the radial limit adjustment size of the radio frequency adaptor 1 is (the larger the range of radial floating adjustment is), and vice versa is, the smaller is. Therefore, the flexibility of the radio frequency adapter 1 of the present invention is higher, and the radio frequency device to be tested in different assembly tolerance ranges can be adapted by controlling the gap between the adapter body 11 and the first through hole 121.
Preferably, the limiting boss 113 is provided with a first inclined surface 1131 inclined toward the axis of the adaptor body 11 along the direction from the cable connection end 111 to the adaptor male end 112, and one end of the inner side wall of the first through hole 121 facing away from the cylindrical housing 122 is provided with a second inclined surface 1211 capable of mutually attaching to the first inclined surface 1131.
After the test is completed, the external force driving the mounting sleeve 12 to move along the axis of the adapter main body 11 disappears, and because the elastic element 13 accumulates elastic force (i.e. the compression force between the radio frequency adapter 1 and the radio frequency device to be tested) in the test process, the elastic element 13 has a tendency to recover, and a reaction force is generated on the mounting sleeve 12 and the male housing 14, and because the male housing 14 is fixed on the adapter main body 11, the reaction force only drives the mounting sleeve 12 to move from the male adapter 112 to the direction of the cable connecting end 111, and the limiting boss 113 can block the movement of the mounting sleeve 12 to prevent the movement of the mounting sleeve 12 from separating from the adapter main body 11, so that the mounting sleeve is recovered to the original calibration position. In addition, the limiting boss 113 is provided with a first inclined surface 1131 inclined towards the axis of the adaptor main body 11 along the direction from the cable connection end 111 to the adaptor male head 112, and one end of the inner side wall of the first through hole 121, which is opposite to the cylindrical housing 122, is provided with a second inclined surface 1211 capable of mutually fitting with the first inclined surface 1131, so that when the mounting sleeve 12 is restored to the original calibration position, the first inclined surface 1131 of the limiting boss 113 is fitted with the second inclined surface 1211 of the cylindrical housing 122, thereby enabling the radio frequency adaptor 1 to restore to the initial positioning more rapidly and accurately, and being beneficial to ensuring the test index of the radio frequency adaptor 1.
Preferably, the male housing 14 includes a housing 142 and a clamping plate 143 connected to one end thereof, the clamping plate 143 is provided with a second through hole and is fixedly connected to the clamping boss 114 by means of the second through hole, the spring mounting groove 1231 is provided on the clamping plate 143, and an annular space is provided between the housing 142 and the male for covering a female head of the rf device to be tested.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the clamping boss 114 is provided with a thread, and the second through hole is a threaded hole, and the male housing 14 is screwed to the adapter body 11 by means of the clamping boss 114 and the second through hole. When the male housing 14 is mounted, the closer the male housing 14 is rotated to the elastic member 13, the larger the reaction force of the elastic member 13 is received, and when the male housing 14 is rotated to the bottom, the mounting sleeve 12, the elastic member 13 and the male housing 14 maintain a relatively balanced state due to the reaction force of the elastic member 13 in the axial direction, and the radio frequency adapter 1 maintains an effective whole without being in a loose state.
Preferably, an inner chamfer 1421 is provided on an inner sidewall of the end of the housing 142 remote from the detent plate 143. When the female connector of the rf device to be tested and the male connector housing 14 of the rf adapter 1 deviate from each other, the inner chamfer 1421 plays a guiding role, and is used for guiding the adapter body 11 to translate along the female connector direction within the range of the gap with the first through hole 121, so as to realize the radial floating adjustment of the rf adapter 1.
In addition, the invention also provides a testing system 1000, which comprises a driving device 2, the radio frequency adapter 1 connected with the driving device 2, and a clamp platform 3 for placing the radio frequency device to be tested and enabling the female head of the radio frequency device to be in butt joint with the male head of the radio frequency adapter 1. In the embodiment of the invention, the driving device can be a test cylinder, a test oil cylinder or a motor, and the invention is not limited to the driving device.
The driving device 2 comprises a connecting plate 21 and a limiting column 211 which is arranged on the connecting plate 21 and faces the clamp platform 3, and the driving device 2 is connected with the mounting sleeve 12 of the radio frequency adapter 1 by means of the connecting plate 21.
The working process of the test system 1000 is as follows: the driving device 2 clamps the mounting sleeve 12 of the radio frequency adapter 1 through the connecting plate 21 to be connected with the radio frequency adapter 1, the whole radio frequency adapter 1 moves towards the radio frequency device to be tested under the driving of the driving device 2 until the male head shell 14 abuts against the female head of the radio frequency device to be tested, after that, the driving device 2 continues to drive the mounting sleeve 12 to axially move along the adapter main body 11, so that the elastic element 13 is compressed, the male head shell 14 and the female head of the radio frequency device to be tested gradually reach an abutting state, a pressing force is generated on the radio frequency device to be tested, and axial adjustment is realized. It should be noted that, because the limiting post 211 is disposed on the connecting plate 21, in the process that the driving device 2 drives the radio frequency adapter 1 and the mounting sleeve 12 to move, the limiting post 211 is closer to the clamp platform 3, until the limiting post 211 abuts against the clamp platform 3, the radio frequency adapter 1 reaches the axial limit adjustment size. If during this process, if a positional deviation occurs between the female head of the radio frequency device to be tested and the male head housing 14, the radio frequency adapter 1 can achieve radial adjustment as described above.
The foregoing is only a partial embodiment of the present invention, and it should be noted that it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that modifications and adaptations can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention, and such modifications and adaptations are intended to be comprehended within the scope of the present invention.
