Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to coaxial cable connectors. More specifically, the present invention relates to a coaxial cable connector with ease of installation features that is installable with reduced connector specific tooling requirements.
  • Coaxial cable connectors are used, for example, in communication systems requiring a high level of reliability and precision.
  • a connector that is poorly installed may damage equipment, significantly degrade system performance and or lead to premature system failure. Therefore, prior connectors typically include extensive installation instructions that require costly specialized tools specific to each connector.
  • the jacket stripper is used to accurately strip away outer sheathing from the coaxial cable to expose a specified length of outer conductor for electrical contact with the desired surfaces of the connector. If the amount of outer sheathing removed is short, long or nonuniform, the electrical connection and or the environmental seal of the connector to the cable may be degraded.
  • Connectors may be used in confined spaces, for example among banks of cables with minimal spacing between them. Confined spaces increase the difficulty of proper connector installation and or interconnection by increasing the time required to make repeated small turns allowed by the confined space when threading the connectors by hand and or with the aid of a wrench. Also, connectors may be installed in exposed locations such as the top of radio towers where installation personnel may be less inclined to properly follow time-consuming installation procedures.
  • Threaded connections on and between connectors are typically tightened using wrenches having the potential for large moment arm force generation that may damage the connector and or associated cable(s). Therefore, use of a torque wrench with a torque setting specific to each connector is often specified by the prior connector installation instructions. Applying the proper torque, for example 15-20 Ib-inches, to threaded connections ensures correct electrical interconnection and prevents application of excessive force that may deform or otherwise damage threads, seals and or the relatively soft metal(s) of the cable(s).
  • the torque wrench is a costly and easily damaged tool that the installation personnel may not always have on hand or bother to use correctly, if at all.
  • a connector 1 for use with a coaxial cable 5 has a rear clamp nut 10 adapted to fit over an end portion of the cable 5.
  • a sheath 20 of the cable 5 is removed from the end of the cable 5 to expose the outer conductor 15.
  • Threads 25 operate to clamp the outer conductor 15 between the connector body 50, a circular coil spring 31, a thrust collar 33 and a first inner coupling sleeve 26 coupled to the rear clamp nut 10 via an over-tightening protection assembly 24, described herein below, to secure the connector 1 to the cable 5.
  • the threads 25 may be formed on the clamp nut 10 and the first inner coupling sleeve 26 omitted.
  • the circular coil spring 31 may be omitted and the outer conductor 15 clamped directly between the connector body 50 and the first inner coupling sleeve 26 or the rear clamp nut 10.
  • An inner conductor 27 of the coaxial cable 5 engages an inner contact 30 of the connector 1 that is spaced away from the outer conductor 15 mating surfaces by an insulator 35.
  • FIGS 2-4 show a simplified version of the rear clamp nut 10.
  • the rear clamp nut 10 has a rear clamp nut bore 32 with a first inner diameter D1 at the cable end 28 of the connector 1 adapted to receive the coaxial cable 5 with sheath 20.
  • a smaller second inner diameter D2 of the rear clamp nut bore 32 at a connection end 29 is adapted to receive only the outer conductor 15 of the cable 1.
  • a slot 40 formed in the rear clamp nut 10 has a cutting edge 45 at the end of a helical step 47 between the first inner diameter D1 and the second inner diameter D2.
  • the sheath 20 bottoms against the helical step and the cutting edge 45.
  • Rotating the rear clamp nut 10 about the cable 5 drives the sheath 20 against the cutting edge 45 which cuts and separates the sheath 20 from the outer conductor 15.
  • the cut portion of the sheath 20 exits through the slot 40 as the rear clamp nut 10 is advanced over the cable 5.
  • the sheath 20 is trimmed to the correct length, for example, when the outer conductor 15 reaches the connection end of the rear clamp nut 10.
  • the rear clamp nut 10 may be attached to the connector body 50 via threads 25 shown in detail on Figure 5.
  • the threads 25 comprise four interleaved concentric threads equally spaced from each other along the length of the connector. Each of the four threads has the same lead with thread ends spaced 90 degrees apart from each other around the axis of the connector 1.
  • the interleaved threads 25 have a pitch that is four times normal, resulting in threaded assembly of the connector 1 requiring only one quarter the number of turns compared to a common single thread. Because the threads 25 are interleaved, the threads maintain the same overall thread to thread contact area resulting in a thread 25 with strength comparable to common single threading but with a pitch that is increased by a factor of 4.
  • One or more over-tightening protection assembly(s) 24 of the connector 1 prevents damage from over tightening of the coupling nut 54 and or rear clamp nut 10 to the coupling nut 54, connector body 50, rear clamp nut 10 (if present), threads, seals and or the relatively soft metal(s) of the cable(s).
  • a separate over-tightening protection assembly 24 may be applied to operate with respect to the threads 25 and the connector threads 56, each with a separate desired torque rating.
  • the over-tightening protection assembly 24 is first explained with the aid of a simplified version of connector 1, as shown in figures 6-8, having an over-tightening protection assembly 24 in the coupling nut 54.
  • the coupling nut 54 has an aperture dimensioned to accept a second inner coupling sleeve 60.
  • the second inner coupling sleeve 60 has connector threads 56 located on an inner diameter 59 for coupling with other connectors and or equipment. Where the mating threaded surface is similarly configured, the connector threads 56 may be multiple interleaved concentric threads as described herein above.
  • the second inner coupling sleeve 60 may be retained upon the connector body 50 in a rotatable configuration by an inward protruding coupling sleeve flange 61 that overlaps a corresponding outer protruding interface flange 62 of an interface 63 that is, for example, press fit into the cable end 28 of the connector body 50.
  • an over-protection assembly 24 may likewise be incorporated in the rear clamp nut 10 as shown in figure 1. Where the over-tightening protection assembly 24 is implemented with respect to the rear clamp nut 10, the description herein below with respect to the second inner coupling sleeve is similarly applied to the first inner coupling sleeve 26 or the like.
  • Rotation of the coupling nut 54 is coupled, within a selected torque range, to the second inner coupling sleeve 60 by a first interlock surface coupled to the coupling nut 54 and a corresponding second interlock surface coupled to the second coupling sleeve 60, the first interlock surface and the second interlock surface having complementary protrusions.
  • the first and second interlock surfaces are formed in a finger ring 65, as shown for example in figures 9 and 10, and a ramp ring 70, as shown for example in figures 11 and 12.
  • the finger ring 65 and the ramp ring 70 are located coaxially within a step or groove 52 formed in the coupling nut 54.
  • the finger ring 65 may be keyed to the coupling nut 54 by a plurality of first ring tab(s) 75 distributed around the inner diameter of the groove 52 which interlock with corresponding finger ring slot(s) 76 in the finger ring 65.
  • the ramp ring 70 may be keyed to the second inner coupling sleeve 60 by a plurality of inward projecting second ring tabs 77 that couple with inner coupling sleeve slot(s) 78 formed in, for example, a cable end of the second inner coupling sleeve 60.
  • Finger(s) 80 projecting inward from the finger ring 65 engage the ramp(s) 85 extending outwards from the ramp ring 70.
  • Rotation of the coupling nut 54 is transmitted to the second inner coupling sleeve 60 for threading of the connector threads 56 until a predetermined torque value is reached whereupon the finger(s) 80 of the finger ring 65 and or the ramp(s) 85 of the ramp ring 70 momentarily deflect / deform and slip past the ramp ring 70 or vice versa, preventing application of out of range torque levels to the second inner coupling sleeve 60 and thereby to the connector threads 56, gaskets and or the relatively soft metal(s) of the cable(s).
  • the finger(s) 80 impact a step side of the ramp(s) 85 having an increased angle ensuring that increased torque levels sufficient to enable unthreading of the connector 1 may be applied.
  • the torque value at which the finger ring 65 slips past the ramp ring 70 may be adjusted, for example, by selecting materials with desired bending/deformation characteristics; adjusting the angles of the mating surfaces of the finger(s) 80 and or ramp(s) 85; and or modifying the thickness of the selected material(s).
  • the finger ring 65 and or the ramp ring 70 may be formed using a wide range of techniques including, for example, machining, metal stamping, bending and ring rolling of metallic stock or injection molding from a material such as plastic, nylon, polycarbonate, ABS or the like.
  • the positions of the finger and ramp ring pairs may be switched and or either or both of the first and second rings replaced with other forms of complementary protrusions and or interlocking structures of which at least one of a complementary pair will temporarily or permanently deflect / deform and release the connector body 50 to second inner coupling sleeve 60 interlock when the applied rotation torque reaches a desired threshold level.
  • interlocking protrusions, bumps, arches and or leaf springs may be used with an equivalent effect according to the invention.
  • the overall size of the resulting assembly, manufacturing operations and total number of components may be reduced by incorporating the second inner coupling sleeve 60 or coupling nut 54 with the finger ring 65 and or ramp ring 70 interlocking protrusion(s) functionality.
  • the ramp(s) 85 are integrated with the second inner coupling sleeve 60.
  • the coupling nut 54 as shown in figures 15 and 16 again uses a plurality of first ring tab(s) 75 to rotatably interlock with finger ring slot(s) 76 of a finger ring 65, as shown in figures 9 and 10, dimensioned for press fitting within the groove 52.
  • the second inner coupling sleeve 60 is retained within the coupling nut 54 by a lip edge 87 formed around a connector end 29 of the second inner coupling sleeve 60.
  • the lip edge 87 snaps into and is rotatably retained within a corresponding coupling sleeve retention groove 89 as the second inner coupling sleeve 60 is inserted within the coupling nut 54.
  • a third embodiment demonstrates, for example, adaptations for a finger ring 65 formed from a plastic material.
  • the finger ring 65 has a simplified mounting within the groove 52 via a plurality of first ring slot(s) 90 formed around a cable end 28 of the coupling nut 54 which receive corresponding outwardly projecting fin(s) 91 of the finger ring 65.
  • the number of finger(s) 80 and corresponding ramp(s) 85 may be increased.
  • the lip edge 87 may be formed using a plurality of individual tine(s) 93 formed at the connector end of the second inner coupling sleeve 60.
  • the connector 1 may be adapted to mate with the dimensions and configuration of a specific coaxial cable 5, for example a coaxial cable with annular or helical corrugations in the inner and or outer conductors 27, 15. Further, the connector end of the connector 1 may be adapted to mate according to male and or female embodiments of a proprietary interface or any of the standard connector types, for example Type-F, BNC, Type-N or DIN.
  • the present invention provides coaxial connectors with ease of installation features and reduces specialized installation tool requirements.
  • the sheath stripping cutting edge slot eliminates the need for a dedicated sheath stripping tool and strips the sheath to the correct outer conductor exposure during connector assembly without requiring a separate stripping step. Interleaved threads allow the connector to be installed with a significantly reduced threading requirement. Also, protection from damaging excess torque application during connector installation and elimination of the need for torque wrenches may be built into the connector.
  • torque limiting coupling nut assemblies described herein may also be used in other, non-connector, applications where a torque limiting function is desirable.
  • the torque limiting coupling nut assembly may be used as a replacement for any common threaded nut, providing the benefit of torque limitation to any threaded interconnection.
  • torque limiting nuts according to the present invention may be used to limit the compression applied as the nut is tightened upon the bolt and thereby upon the glass panel.
