Definitions

  • the invention relates to a coaxial connector part according to the preamble of the main claim.
  • a coaxial connector part is for example from the WO 2007/002692 A1 known.
  • the US 4,801,274 shows a connector coaxial type according to the preamble of claim 1 for use in high-frequency lines. It consists of an inner conductor, an outer conductor and a ball bearing which connects the part of the outer conductor connected to the electrical line to the external interface of the outer conductor.
  • the inner conductor is located exclusively in the part which is connected to the electrical line. The two parts are axially displaceable against each other.
  • the Fig. 1 shows the longitudinal section through a coaxial connector, as it is known in a similar design, for example as an N-plug. It consists of a plug part 1 and a socket part 2.
  • the plug 1 consists of an outer conductor 3, in which via a support plate 4 of the inner conductor 5 is arranged coaxially.
  • the coaxial line 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 cap nut 6 must be screwed onto the external thread 9 of the socket 2 until the annular end contact surface 10 of the outer conductor 3 of the plug 1 contacts the corresponding annular end contact surface 11 of the socket 2 to produce the coaxial connection.
  • the tip 12 of the inner conductor 5 is thereby inserted into the radially sprung sleeve-shaped bushing 13 of the female part 2.
  • 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. Due to the disturbed current distribution in the contact region of the outer conductor reflections and attenuation increases can then occur at higher frequencies: an effect that can hardly be detected in the low frequency range, because there meets a low contact resistance at only a single contact point for the entire compound.
  • 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.
  • Table 1 shows, for cases a) and b), what preload force F is achieved at a torque of (12 inch-lbs) 135'81 Ncm 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 without rotation of the outer conductor with rotation ...
  • the diameter of the snap ring since 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. With a coefficient of static friction ⁇ ' 0 of 0.18, a maximum coefficient of friction ⁇ s of 0.076 for an N-type connector would have to be demanded according to this consideration, which could be achieved in the lubricated case.

  • Fig. 1 lubricate the surface of the snap ring 7 and / or the surface of cooperating with this snap ring groove 7 of the union nut 6 and the outer conductor 3 to be provided with a corresponding lubricious coating.
  • a lubricant for example, the snap ring or the surfaces interacting therewith could be provided with a Teflon coating or a nano-slip film.
  • any lubricious coating for example so-called solid lubricants.
  • 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.
  • FIGS. 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 up to a certain load 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 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 finally shows how the friction force between the union nut 6 and outer conductor 3 can be reduced by a double roller bearing in both axial directions.
  • 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.
  • the rolling bearings and their arrangement between the union nut and outer conductor are each shown only schematically, in practice, it is necessary for the installation of rolling bearings of course, the receiving parts such as outer conductor, union nut and the like divisible and form, for example screwed together , For clarity, these pure design features required for assembly are not shown.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 finally show an arrangement with one-sided rolling bearing.
  • 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 is due to the spring bias on an annular projection 35 of the 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.
  • the plate springs By the plate springs, the necessary axial displacement for the mounting of the bearing parts 32, 33, 34 and the spring retainer 31 with the nut 6 is guaranteed (bayonet locking the spring retainer 31 with nut 6).
  • the bearing parts 32, 33, 34 are held together by these disc springs within the union nut, wherein thermal changes in length of the connector can be compensated without tensions occur.
  • the use of springs allows a more cost-effective production and assembly of the relevant items, since disturbing summations of manufacturing tolerances can be easily compensated by spring elements. From the optimization of these spring functions, it also depends on how many disc springs are used, in the simplest case, a single plate spring, in the embodiment, five disc springs are shown.
