Die in Fig. 1 dargestellte bevorzugte Ausführungsform einer erfindungsgemäßen Verbindungseinrichtung ist mit einem erfindungsgemäßen HF-Interface 10 in Form eines Hohlleiters mit einem Koaxial-Hohlleiterübergang dargestellt. Dies ist jedoch lediglich beispielhaft. Statt als Hohlleiter kann das HF-Interface 10 auch als HF-Koaxialsteckverbinder mit einem entsprechenden Steckinterface in Form einer Buchse oder eines Steckers ausgebildet sein. Die Verbindungseinrichtung verbindet das HF-Interface 10 mit einem HF-Kabel 12, welches in Fig. 1 beispielhaft in Form eines Koaxial-Wellmantelkabels dargestellt ist.In the Fig. 1 illustrated preferred embodiment of a connecting device according to the invention is shown with an inventive RF interface 10 in the form of a waveguide with a coaxial waveguide transition. However, this is just an example. Instead of a waveguide, the RF interface 10 may also be formed as an RF coaxial connector with a corresponding plug-in interface in the form of a socket or a plug. The connecting device connects the RF interface 10 to an RF cable 12 which is in Fig. 1 is exemplified in the form of a coaxial corrugated cable.

Die Verbindungseinrichtung weist eine Hülse 14, ein Stützelement 16, eine Überwurfmutter 18 und einen Zylinderstift 20 auf. Das HF-Interface 10 weist ein Anschlussteil 22 mit einem Außengewinde 24 und einem Hohlleiterflansch 26 auf. Die Hülse 14 ist derart ausgebildet, dass diese in das Anschlussteil 22 hinein steckbar ist, so dass eine Fläche eines Außenumfangs der Hülse 14 einer Fläche eines Innenumfangs des Anschlussteils 22 zugewandt ist. Es ist jedoch in einer alternativen Ausführungsform möglich, dass die Hülse das Anschlussteil 22 über einen vorbestimmten axialen Abschnitt umgreift, so dass eine Fläche eines Außenumfangs des Anschlussteils 22 einer Fläche eines Innenumfangs der Hülse 14 zugewandt ist.The connecting device has a sleeve 14, a support element 16, a cap nut 18 and a cylindrical pin 20. The RF interface 10 has a connection part 22 with an external thread 24 and a waveguide flange 26. The sleeve 14 is formed such that it can be plugged into the connecting part 22, so that a surface of an outer circumference of the sleeve 14 faces a surface of an inner circumference of the connecting part 22. However, in an alternative embodiment, it is possible that the sleeve engages around the attachment part 22 over a predetermined axial section, so that a surface of an outer periphery of the attachment part 22 faces a surface of an inner circumference of the sleeve 14.

Wie insbesondere aus Fig. 2 und 3 ersichtlich, sind auf dem Außenumfang der Hülse 14 mehrere erste Nuten 30 ausgebildet. Wie insbesondere aus Fig. 4 ersichtlich, sind auf dem Innenumfang des Anschlussteils 22 mehrere zweite Nuten 32 ausgebildet. Die ersten und zweiten Nuten 30, 32 sind derart ausgebildet und angeordnet, dass bei entsprechender Winkelstellung der Hülse 14 relativ zum Anschlussteil 22 wenigstens jeweils eine erste Nut 30 mit einer zweiten Nut 32 fluchten und zwischen sich einen Raum zur Aufnahme des Zylinderstiftes 20 ausbilden. Durch die Anordnung des Zylinderstiftes 20 in zwei miteinander fluchtenden ersten und zweiten Nuten 30, 32 ist eine Verdrehung des Hülse 14 relativ zum Anschlussteil 22 blockiert, so dass die relative Winkellage von Hülse 14 relativ zum Anschlussteil 22 fixiert ist.As in particular from FIGS. 2 and 3 can be seen, a plurality of first grooves 30 are formed on the outer circumference of the sleeve 14. As in particular from Fig. 4 can be seen, a plurality of second grooves 32 are formed on the inner circumference of the connecting part 22. The first and second grooves 30, 32 are formed and arranged such that with a corresponding angular position of the sleeve 14 relative to the connecting part 22 at least one first groove 30 are aligned with a second groove 32 and between them form a space for receiving the cylindrical pin 20. Due to the arrangement of the cylindrical pin 20 in two mutually aligned first and second grooves 30, 32 is a rotation of the sleeve fourteenth blocked relative to the connecting part 22, so that the relative angular position of sleeve 14 is fixed relative to the connecting part 22.

Für eine Grobjustierung der Winkellage zwischen Hülse 14 und Anschlussteil 22 sind am Außenumfang der Hülse 14 sechs erste Nuten 30 in gleichmäßigem Abstand von einem Winkel α 34 mit einem Wert α = 60° über den Umfang verteilt ausgebildet. Für eine Feinjustierung der Winkellage zwischen Hülse 14 und Anschlussteil 22 sind am Anschlussteil 22 fünf zweite Nuten 32 mit einem Winkel β 36 mit einem Wert β = 15° ausgebildet.For a coarse adjustment of the angular position between the sleeve 14 and the connecting part 22, six first grooves 30 are formed on the outer circumference of the sleeve 14 at a uniform distance from an angle α 34 with a value α = 60 ° distributed over the circumference. For a fine adjustment of the angular position between the sleeve 14 and the connection part 22, five second grooves 32 are formed at the connection part 22 at an angle β 36 with a value β = 15 °.

Die Überwurfmutter greift über die Hülse 14 mit einem entsprechenden Innengewinde auf das Außengewinde 24 des Anschlussteils 22 und fixiert in aufgeschraubtem Zustand in axialer Richtung die Hülse 14 in dem Anschlussteil 22. Die Hülse 14 ist gleichzeitig fest mit dem HF-Kabel 12 bzw. mit dessen Wellmantel bzw. mit dessen Außenleiter verbunden, so dass auf diese Weise das HF-Kabel 12 elektrisch und mechanisch mit dem HF-Interface 10 verbunden ist. Durch einfaches Abschrauben der Überwurfmutter 18 von dem Anschlussteil 22 und axiales herausziehen des Hülse 14 aus dem Anschlussteil 22 ist diese Verbindung lösbar und eine relative Winkellage zwischen Hülse 14 sowie Anschlussteil 22 und damit zwischen HF-Kabel 12 sowie HF-Interface 10 veränderbar. Sobald eine neue gewünschte Winkellage erreicht ist, wird die Hülse 14 wieder in das Anschlussteil 22 mit dem Zylinderstift zwischen zwei fluchtenden Nuten 30, 32 hinein geschoben und die Überwurfmutter 18 wieder auf das Anschlussteil 22 aufgeschraubt. Auf diese Weise kann eine Winkellage zwischen HF-Kabel 12 sowie HF-Interface 10 an eine Einbausituation jederzeit neu derart angepasst werden, dass der Anschluss des HF-Interface 10 an ein Gerät ohne Torsionsbelastung auf das HF-Kabel 12 erfolgen kann. Hierfür ist es dank der Erfindung nicht mehr erforderlich, dass ein neues HF-Kabel mit einem neuen HF-Interface konfektioniert werden muss. Auch ist es dank der Erfindung bei der Konfektionierung des HF-Kabels mit jeweiligen HF-Interfaces 10 nicht mehr notwendig, dass bereits bei der Montage der HF-Interfaces 10 an dem HF-Kabel 12 die spätere Einbausituation des HF-Kabels 12 berücksichtigt werden muss. Die Anpassung kann in der oben beschriebenen Art auf einfache Weise am Einbauort des HF-Kabels 12 erfolgen.The union nut engages over the sleeve 14 with a corresponding internal thread on the external thread 24 of the connecting part 22 and fixed in the screwed state in the axial direction of the sleeve 14 in the connecting part 22. The sleeve 14 is at the same time fixed to the RF cable 12 and with the Corrugated or connected to the outer conductor, so that in this way the RF cable 12 is electrically and mechanically connected to the RF interface 10. By simply unscrewing the union nut 18 of the connector 22 and axially pulling the sleeve 14 from the connector 22, this connection is detachable and a relative angular position between sleeve 14 and connector 22 and thus between RF cable 12 and RF interface 10 changeable. As soon as a new desired angular position is reached, the sleeve 14 is pushed back into the connecting part 22 with the cylinder pin between two aligned grooves 30, 32 and the cap nut 18 is screwed onto the connecting part 22 again. In this way, an angular position between the RF cable 12 and the RF interface 10 can be adapted to a mounting situation anytime new such that the connection of the RF interface 10 can be made to a device without torsional load on the RF cable 12. Thanks to this invention, it is no longer necessary for a new HF cable to be assembled with a new HF interface. Also, it is no longer necessary thanks to the invention in the assembly of the RF cable with respective RF interfaces 10 that already in the assembly of the RF interfaces 10 to the RF cable 12, the subsequent installation situation of the RF cable 12 must be considered , The adaptation can be made in the manner described above in a simple manner at the installation location of the RF cable 12.

Durch die Ausbildung der Verbindung zwischen Hülse 14 und Anschlussteil 22 mit Nuten 30, 32 und Zylinderstift 20 ist eine sehr passgenau Herstellung der Bauteile möglich, so dass die Verbindung zwischen Hülse 14 und Anschlussteil 22 im Wesentlichen spielfrei realisierbar ist. Dies ist besonders wichtig, um gute HF-Eigenschaften der Verbindung zu erzielen, dass diese Art der Verbindung von HF-Kabel 12 und HF-Interface 10 auch für sehr hochfrequente Signale ohne nennenswerte Verluste oder Signalverzerrungen verwendet werden kann.Due to the formation of the connection between sleeve 14 and connecting part 22 with grooves 30, 32 and cylindrical pin 20, a very precise production of the components is possible, so that the connection between sleeve 14 and connector part 22 is substantially free of play feasible. This is particularly important in order to achieve good RF characteristics of the connection, that this type of connection of RF cable 12 and RF interface 10 can also be used for very high frequency signals without significant losses or signal distortion.

Bei der oben beschriebenen Verbindungseinrichtung handelt es sich um ein multiples, konfektionsunabhängiges Verbindungselement zur Kraft- und Momentaufnahme, welches eine Beschädigung der zu verbindenden Komponenten wirksam verhindert und somit die volle Funktionsfähigkeit bei mechanischer Belastung garantiert. Die Verbindungsstelle kann einfach gelöst und die Ausrichtung von HF-Interface 10 und HF-Kabel 12 zueinander im Winkel angepasst an eine aktuelle Einbausituation für das HF-Kabel 12 verändert werden.In the above-described connection device is a multiple, independent Konfektionsunabhängiges connection element for force and snapshot, which effectively prevents damage to the components to be connected and thus guarantees full functionality under mechanical stress. The junction can be easily solved and the alignment of RF interface 10 and RF cable 12 to each other at an angle adapted to a current installation situation for the RF cable 12 to be changed.

Die Nuten 30, 32 sind bevorzugt derart ausgebildet, dass diese jeweils eine Hälfte eines Hohlzylinder ausbilden, in den der Zylinderstift 20 passt (Passfeder-Nut-Prinzip). The grooves 30, 32 are preferably formed such that they each form one half of a hollow cylinder into which the cylindrical pin 20 fits (key-groove principle).
