Definitions

  • the invention relates to a coaxial connector part according to the preamble of the main claim.
  • a coaxial connector part is e.g. from WO 2007/002692 Al known.
  • Fig. 1 shows the longitudinal section through a coaxial connector, as it is known in a similar design, for example as an N-type plug. It consists of a plug part 1 and a female part 2.
  • the plug 1 consists of an outer conductor 3, in which via a
  • Support disk 4 of the inner conductor 5 is arranged coaxially.
  • the Koaxial1eitung consisting of inner conductor 5 and outer conductor 3 is continued on the rear side of the plug 1, not shown, for example, in a device or in a coaxial cable.
  • On the outer conductor 3 a cap nut 6 is rotatably mounted, which is connected via a snap ring 7 axially frictionally connected to the outer conductor 3.
  • the internal thread 8 of the union nut 6 must be screwed onto the external thread 9 of the socket 2 until the coaxial connection is produced, until the annular end contact surface 10 of the external conductor 3 of the plug 1 has the corresponding annular shape
  • coaxial connectors as they are under the designations N-, 2.92 mm, SMA, 1.85 mm, 3.5 mm or 2.4 mm connector or as so-called hermaphroditic connector under the name PC7 are known, all are constructed according to this principle with a screwed onto the outer conductor union nut, in some cases, the union nut may also be provided on the female part.
  • the quality of a coaxial connector is very much dependent on a sufficiently large axial preload. Too small values can lead to an unreliable connection, because the low contact pressure at the outer conductor is not sufficient to ensure a consistently low contact resistance over the entire circumference of the annular contact surface.
  • Too low axial preload also has the disadvantage that a connector can easily solve, in particular by torque attack on the bolted components, without the nut comes into play.
  • excessively tight tightening can lead to premature plug wear and significant dimensional changes due to the introduced mechanical stresses. This is especially true for components of defined electrical length, such as e.g. Short circuits in calibration kits.
  • the invention is based on the recognition that the
  • Friction conditions in the region of the axial frictional connection between the union nut and outer conductor of a coaxial high-frequency connector have a decisive influence on the quality of the connector.
  • Sharing is achieved according to the invention, that at a predetermined tightening torque, a higher contact pressure is achieved, the outer conductor also not so easy rotates and also higher security against unintentional release of the connector is.
  • Fig. 6 is a section through the fourth embodiment of the invention in the assembled state.
  • the basic relationships between the torque applied to the cap nut and the axial preload force caused thereby are illustrated. Particular attention is paid to the influence of friction and adhesion on the various mechanical contact surfaces. It turns out that the snap ring used for transmitting power from the nut to the outer conductor of the plug has a considerable influence on the achievable axial preload and the reliability of the connection.
  • the torque M to be applied to the cap nut is proportional to the desired axial preload force F:
  • the coefficient K depends on the dimensions of the screw connection and the different coefficients of friction. There are two cases to be distinguished: a) The outer conductors of plug and socket do not twist against each other during screwing
  • Table 1 shows, for cases a) and b), what preload force F is achieved with a 12 inch-lbs torque for an N-type connector and how the tightening torque applied to the nut splits. It is assumed that an N-type connector made of stainless steel with a snap ring made of bronze. The coefficients of friction are taken as follows: steel on steel (face and thread) 0.15; Bronze on steel 0.20 (dry) or 0.05 (lubricated).
  • Table 1 Preload force and torque split for an N-type connector The comparison of cases a) - dry and b) illustrates the phenomenon known to any practitioner that a N-bond can be tightened more tightly, if rotation of the outer conductors relative to each other is allowed. The same effect can apparently be achieved without rotation with a greased snap ring, which, among other things, protects the contact surfaces of the inner and outer conductors.
  • the diameter of the snap ring for technical reasons, must be much larger than the average face diameter - in the conventional connector systems N, SMA or 2.4, it is about twice as large - the friction coefficient between snap ring and nut or snap ring and outer conductor in any case significantly smaller than be on the front surface.
  • Plug connection against release must therefore be formulated differently.
  • the release torque for the cap nut does not differ significantly from the tightening torque and the connection must not be released when the outer conductors are twisted against each other.
  • Plug connection (clamp value for lubricated snap ring)
  • the outer conductor and the union nut is usually made of stainless steel and the snap ring, for example, made of bronze. To reduce the coefficient of friction, these parts could also be made of other materials having a lower coefficient of friction, e.g. a suitable metal or plastic.
  • Figures 2 to 6 show further possibilities for the reduction of the friction coefficient between the union nut 6 and outer conductor 3 by installing corresponding bearings.
  • types of many bearings are suitable, for example, axial and radial ball bearings, axial roller bearings, axial needle roller bearings, angular contact ball bearings or simple axial plain bearings.
  • Fig. 2 shows the installation of a radial ball bearing 20 between the union nut 6 and outer conductor 3.
  • Each radial ball bearing acts not only as a radial bearing but also to a certain extent as a thrust bearing and is therefore also suitable for the purpose of the invention.
  • the mounted in a cage ring balls 20 run in corresponding annular grooves on the inner circumference of the nut 6 and the outer circumference of the outer conductor 3.
  • Fig. 3 shows another possibility using a needle or cylindrical roller bearing.
  • Cylindrical rollers or needles 21 again arranged in a cage in a cage run on the annular end faces of a flange 22 of the outer conductor 3 and the opposite annular end face of one inside drawn radial flange 23 of the union nut 6.
  • these rollers 21 act friction friction reducing again.
  • FIG. 4 shows how the frictional force between cap nut 6 and outer conductor 3 can be reduced in both axial directions by a double roller bearing.
  • a radially projecting flange 24 is provided on the opposite annular surfaces each ball bearings 26, 27 roll, which in turn are mounted in corresponding grooves 28, 29 on the inside of the nut 6.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 show an arrangement with one-sided roller bearings.
  • the rolling bearing is then loaded in this arrangement when an axial force has built up between the two end faces of plug and socket, ie in the course of the screwing or at the beginning of the release phase.
  • the connection is disconnected, the Bearing the union nut on various cylindrical surfaces; the rolling bearing is not involved.
  • the plug disc springs 29 On the outer conductor 3 of the plug disc springs 29 are pushed, which act between a cage-like spring retainer 31, which in turn is positively mounted in the union nut 6, and a radial annular wall 30 of two wave disks 32, 33 and only schematically indicated roller bearing 34.
  • the disc springs can be performed either on the outer conductor 3 or in the spring holder 31.
  • the wave washer 33 When screwed not yet with the socket part union nut 6 (Fig. 5), the wave washer 33 is due to the spring bias on an annular projection 35 of the union nut, and the rolling bearing does not press on the flange ring 36 of the outer conductor.
  • the bearing parts 32, 33, 34 are held by the prestressed disc springs 29 only in the union nut 6 (fixed). Only when the union nut 6 is screwed onto the external thread 9 of the schematically indicated female part 2 (FIG. 6) and the wave washer 33 presses on the flange 36 of the outer conductor 3, the frictional connection between the wave washer 33 and the annular projection 35 is released, and the axial contact force is on the union nut 6 and the
  • the invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiments and is not only suitable for so-called N-plug but for all types of commercial coaxial connectors. All described and / or drawn features can be combined with each other in the context of the invention.
