Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connector in the preamble of claim 1.
  • a connector is known from DE-A-35 22 736. It includes one Plug head on the cable end of a Plug sleeve is turned on and thereby a pressure ring or a clamping cone against the annular surface in the recess of the Pushes sleeve between this ring surface and the corresponding surface of the pressure ring or the clamping cone the crimped end of the outer cable clamp.
  • This connector is for field mounting only conditionally suitable because it consists of several, individually to be assembled one after the other and in the correct order Sharing exists.
  • Coaxial cable for commercial applications especially for Transfer of larger services, on the other hand, have one massive, screw or ring-corrugated outer conductor, which without Deterioration of the electrical properties of the cable gives a certain flexibility.
  • Connector developed in the pre-assembled state without previous disassembly mounted on the end of the coaxial cable can be what, especially at exposed assembly sites such as Antenna masts and the like a considerable time and Safety gain during assembly (see DE 43 43 229 C2).
  • the invention has for its object a connector of the genre specified in the introduction, that it is on a coaxial cable with a smooth cable outer conductor can be dismantled without disassembly.
  • This task is the introductory step for a connector mentioned type according to the invention solved by a for enclosing of the outer cable certain contact sleeve, the radially resilient segments with thickened ends and in the unloaded Condition has an inside diameter that is in the range the thickened ends of the segments smaller than the diameter of the flared end area of the outer cable and is larger than this diameter in the remaining area, and by a banjo bolt that surrounds the contact sleeve and after covering a span by turning in an internal thread of the recess of the plug head the segments the contact sleeve loaded in the clamping direction, so that this the flared end area of the outer cable against the ring surface in the recess of the plug head can jam.
  • This connector can be delivered pre-assembled be that he only up to the prepared cable end must be pushed to the stop. Then he needs Installer only screw the banjo bolt into the plug head, until a prescribed tightening torque is reached is, which indicates that a sufficiently firm clamping of the Cable outer conductor has occurred. Nevertheless, the fitter can the connector, if necessary, also by complete Disassemble the banjo bolt from the plug head.
  • the connector according to the invention in the Installation on a coaxial cable with a smooth outer conductor same advantages as a connector that can be assembled without disassembly for coaxial cables with corrugated outer conductor.
  • the connector has a device that Clamping path of the banjo bolt is divided into two sections, by which the first a pre-assembled state of the connector and the second, its final assembly on the cable correspond (claim 2). If the installer detects the connector completely disassembled, or completely disassemble this facility enables him to Plug connectors back in the correct, factory-set Bring pre-assembly condition, the prerequisite for correct installation on the cable.
  • the device for structuring the clamping path of the banjo bolt can consist of an O-ring in an annular groove lies, which is arranged so that the O-ring at the end of first span section on the cable end edge of the plug head and over the second span section is taken into the plug head (claim 3).
  • This execution of the facility for structuring the The tensioning path is structurally particularly simple.
  • the o-ring can simultaneously seal between the plug head and form the banjo bolt.
  • the banjo bolt has a cable side following the annular groove over an axial length that at least equal to the length of the second span section is an outer diameter that is smaller than the inner diameter the recess of the plug head on its cable side End is (claim 4).
  • the inner wall can be used to facilitate the assembly process the inside of the banjo bolt is a radially protruding one Shoulder that has a stop for a collar of the ring Contact sleeve forms and in the pre-assembled state of the connector limits the displacement of the contact sleeve that between the annular surface and the segments of the contact sleeve an insertion gap for the end area of the cable outer conductor remains (claim 5).
  • projecting shoulder of the banjo bolt can be another take on another function, namely that of transmission of the thrust of the banjo bolt on the contact sleeve.
  • the shoulder of the hollow screw is on best as a continuous or interrupted ring shoulder trained, the plug-side end face at the end of second clamping path section the clamping force on the thickened Formed ends of the segments of the contact sleeve Transmits counter surfaces (claim 6).
  • the cable 1 shows a coaxial cable of a newer type. It comprises a tubular inner conductor 1, a cable dielectric 2, usually a foam dielectric, a smooth outer cable 3 made of a copper or aluminum alloy and a cable sheath 4 made of plastic.
  • the cable outer conductor 3 has a crimped end region 32, here in a conical shape, with the largest diameter D 1 .
  • the flaring can also be flange-shaped at right angles.
  • the cable including the cable jacket 4 has an outer diameter D 2 .
  • the diameter D 1 must be less than or at most equal to the diameter D 2 because, as will be explained, the cable sheath extends into the connector, the latter at least at its cable end Must have inner diameter D 2 .
  • the connector shown in Fig. 2 in longitudinal section comprises a plug head 5, a contact sleeve 6, one of these enclosing hollow screw 7 and one in an annular groove 73 the hollow screw 7 lying O-ring 8. From the plug head 5 is only this in this figure and in the other figures for electrical contacting and mechanical clamping of the Cable outer conductor 3 formed part shown. To the left of the dashed line A-A, the plug head 5 one of the have usual, known constructions, which after the direct the respective application. Nor can he shown connector inner conductor after any, Principle known in the prior art with the inner cable 1 mechanically and electrically connected and in particular be contacted according to the plug / socket principle. This is not the subject of the invention.
  • Fig. 2 shows the connector in the pre-assembled state.
  • the O-ring 8 is just on the cable side Front edge 5a of the plug head 5, while the external thread 72 of the hollow screw 7 in the first threads of Internal thread 53 in the recess 51 of the plug head 5 intervenes.
  • the connector is already on the coaxial cable postponed, etc. until the first palpable Resistance occurs. This is caused by the fact that the Front edge of the crimped end portion 32 of the cable outer conductor 3 against a run-up surface 63b (see FIG.
  • the conical ring surface 63a has a few more tenth of a millimeter high, circumferential bead 66 on the after mounting on the outside of the flared end area 32 of the cable outer conductor 3 comes to rest there digs in a bit and thereby the mechanical clamping and electrical contacting improved and over the scope uniform. The latter is achieving a big one Intermodulation distance useful.
  • the banjo bolt 7 is inserted into the plug head 5 turned, etc. against the resistance of yourself deforming O-rings 8.
  • the contact sleeve 6 is initially still displaceable in the axial direction around the second clamping path section b, which is equal to the distance between the mating end face 71a of the ring shoulder 71 of the banjo bolt 7 to the thickened ends 63 of the segments 62 of the contact sleeve 6 trained counter surfaces 63c.
  • This Metal ring 9 primarily acts on the cable Bending forces, so that this at least largely from the Contacting point, that is between the surfaces 52 and 63 a (see FIG. 2) clamped, crimped end region 32 of the outer cable can be kept away.
  • a tight connection between the cable and the connector can e.g. with a shrink tube. This is known and therefore not shown.
