Description

516258 5. Description of the invention (1) The present invention is a general description of a connection device of the type used to connect any kind of coaxial cable. It is therefore also about such a connecting device, which forms an autonomous entity, which then has a separate casing, as it is the case when only one coaxial cable is connected to another coaxial cable, and about this connecting device, It forms an integral part of any type of receptacle, in which case its casing is usually formed early with the recipient 'as is possible when the receptacle is connected. More precisely, when the 'connecting device forms an autonomous entity, the present invention is also about the case where the autonomous entity constitutes an & -shaped socket, and with regard to its constitution, a female plug to be inserted into a convex socket. The present invention is particularly (although not necessarily specific) a coaxial cable or a cable to which a line is connected, for the case of a high-frequency signal, such as a stub of a television signal. In all cases, the connecting device used has more than one function. It must hold the coaxial cable, and it must also separately provide a first electrical contact with the metal braid that usually forms the inner shield of this coaxial cable, and a second electrical contact with its conductive central core. At present, the connection device for this purpose usually includes a terminal, which is more or less complicated, after the end is peeled off, the row is attached and clamped to the coaxial cable, and a jack, which Forming part of the receiver, the cable is connected to the receiver, and a terminal that has been attached to the coaxial cable must be inserted into it. However, the hold of the coaxial cable proved to be slightly uncertain in practice, let alone the cost of the system and the relative complexity of the required operations. Other connection devices that are also well known in the art use a clamping structure ι · ΚΜΗΙ1_ 酬 隐 ______ Page 5 516258 5. Description of the invention (2), such as a cable clamp, which firmly attaches the coaxial cable To the receiver, and also make an electrical contact with its metal braid, with a terminal for making an electrical contact with its central core. Although these connection devices hold the coaxial cable satisfactorily, they still have the disadvantage of requiring relatively complicated and time-consuming operations to install them. In particular, " Tong Xing Yucai and the wire need to be peeled off to reach the metal braided layer of his protective screen. In European Patent Application No. 0 6 7 1 78 7, to prevent the cable from being stripped, the corresponding connection device includes a contact member, and the related cable must be directly placed on the contact member, thereby pinning to this member and inserting it In its outer sheath and-»+ Ju-it X_ 口 ΡΪ However, the European patent application No. 0 6 7 1 7 8 7 is not about connecting coaxial cables, but about a simple shielded cable, and therefore No other contacts are provided. Moreover, clamping the assembly to the cable requires still slightly complicated operations. The Spanish Utility Model Application No. 9 2 0 1 7 3 9 (Publication No. 10 2 1 4 4 9) also recommends direct bonding of the cables. However, although the cable is a coaxial cable in this case, the Spanish Utility Model Application No. 9 2 0 1 7 3 9 is only about a terminal that makes an electrical contact with the central core of the coaxial cable, without mentioning its protection Screen. The invention resides in a coaxial cable connection device that is fast and easy to use, and that it simply and firmly holds the coaxial cable. The general feature of the connecting device is that it includes at least one compartment, suitable for

The central core of the coaxial cable is suitable for fitting. With more than one type of connection device, it is only necessary to peel off the central core of the coaxial cable without peeling off the protective screen which is more and more difficult at the beginning and end.

In the embodiment of the present invention shown in Figs. 1 to 20, the indexing device includes a ^ · O: \ 61 \ 61686.PTD page 15 516258 5. Description of the invention (12) Set of casing 16A, self-supporting The raised edge 59 in the middle area of the frame 48 and the two ends 47 of the sleeve 44 of the cam 20 make a 90 ° cut 60 with each other. In the illustrated embodiment of the present invention, the cam 20 has only one clamping rib 21, but the rib is divided into two lateral flaps 62 opposite to each other in the diameter direction, and one flap 62 is provided for each compartment 18. For example, as shown here, each flap 62 has a flat-topped triangular profile in axial section. In the preferred embodiment of the invention shown in Fig. 23, each flap 62 has a flat-topped actual rectangular end profile in axial section. In the illustrated embodiments of the present invention, the cam 20 is formed as a single body, and its clamping rib 21 is integrated with its sleeve 44. It is made of metal, for example. The embodiment of the invention shown in the drawings, 1 to 20, and as can be seen more clearly in FIGS. 10 to 12, the two cavities 29 formed by the inner block 25A are joined by a bridge portion 63 Together, first on the side facing the bracket 4 8 formed by the sleeve housing 16A, the tongues 5 6 already described, and second on the side facing the printed circuit 26, which helps the inner block 2 5 A The rods 6 4 fixed on the casing 16 are aligned back to back with each other, protruding from the middle part.

Each cavity 29 in the inner block 2 5 A has a boring hole 6 7. The central core 1 1 of the coaxial cable 10 passes through this boring hole, and the bottom of the corresponding compartment 1 8 in the casing 1 3 The openings 3 of 4 are in line and extend along the axis A 1 of the compartment 18. As in the case of the illustrated embodiments of the invention, an insertion cone 6 8 is preferred.

O: \ 61 \ 61686.PTD Page 16 516258 5. Description of the invention (13) is located before boring 6 7. In the embodiment of the present invention shown in Figs. 1 to 20, the outlet of the insertion cone 6 8 is surrounded by a raised flange 69, which also helps to hold the inner block 25A to the sleeve 16. In the illustrated embodiment of the invention, as can be seen more clearly in FIG. 18, the terminal 22 of each compartment 18 has a bore 70 for the central core 11 of the coaxial cable 10 to pass through, and The two elastically deformable lips 71 are in line with the boring hole 70 and are opposed to each other at their ends, and together form an elongated cutout 72 that is perpendicular to the axis A 1 of the corresponding compartment 18. In these embodiments of the invention, the terminal 22 of each compartment 18 has a tail end 73 attached to the printed circuit board 26.

In the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 20, in order to enhance the insulation of the terminal 22, the sleeve housing 16A has a leaf member 78 between the two chambers 30, so that the wall extends between the two chambers 30 and extends Beyond the plane where it meets the top cover 16B.

O: \ 61 \ 61686.PTD Page 17 516258 V. Description of the invention (14) As suggested in FIG. 4, when assembling the components of the connection device 15 of the present invention, they are only stacked on top of each other, please It is understood that the terminals 22 and the contact members 2 4, 2 4, 2, 2 4 π are first soldered to the printed circuit board 26 for the track provided by them to be attached to the board. The cam 20 is initially inserted obliquely into the chamber 36 of the sleeve housing 16A so as to insert the end 4 5 of its sleeve 4 4 into the bearing 46 and then straighten it so that the other end 47 of the sleeve 44 Lay flat on the bracket 48 provided for it. The inner block 25A then fixes the cam 20 in the axial direction and holds it in position in the lateral direction. In the waiting position, the flaps 62 of the clamping ribs 21 of the cam 20 are formed in a cross shape with respect to the compartment 18 of the casing 16A. It therefore does not cover the space between the contact member 19 of the cam 20 and the contact member 18 associated with the compartment 18. To connect the coaxial cable 10, the first step shows that the end of the relevant cable is stripped farther than what is needed. 'It is a compartment 18 of the coaxial winding device 15 so that it corresponds to the contact member 1. 9, and the component is at the center core of its coaxial cable 10, and also at 29 ', and is attached to each other at the end 7 1 through the hole 2g. Therefore, if the cam 20 is rotated, the outer sleeve 13 of the clamping line 10 of the cam 20 is pushed back against the contact point as shown in FIG. 19 by a continuous line to its central core 1 1 . The thread 10 is forcibly inserted into the connection of the present invention, as also shown in Fig. 19, pinned between the outer cover 13 and its shield 12. After fitting the bore 70 of the corresponding space 22 of the inner block 2 5 A, turn it a quarter of a turn with its lip. The relevant flap 6 2 of the rib 2 1 will move the coaxial cable 19 to the back of the notch 4 2 so that

Page 18 516258 V. Description of the invention (15) The outer cover 13 supports the shape of the contact member 19, so that the coaxial cable 10 is firmly held. If, as shown by the chain-dotted line in Figs. 19 and 20, a second coaxial cable 10 is also used, a single operation of the cam 20 is sufficient to fix two coaxial gauge lines 10 simultaneously. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention shown in Figs. 21 to 23, when the cam 20 is rotated by one quarter, the coaxial cable 10 and the outer sleeve 13 are pushed back to the recess of the contact member 19. In the mouth, the shape of the structure defined between the notch and the flap of the clamping rib of the cam is supported, so the coaxial cable 10 is firmly held. This configuration is particularly advantageous because it avoids tearing the outer jacket 13 if the tension is subsequently applied to the coaxial cable 10 connected in this way. The embodiment of the present invention shown in Figs. 24 to 35 is a preferred embodiment, and its entirety is similar to that shown in Figs. 1 to 20. However, since at least all the ports 80 extend along one of its bases, at least a part of its height from its open end, the cable inlet 2 3 'of the top cover 16 B is opened laterally. For example, as shown here, there are three cuts 80 at the entrance of the survey line 2 3 ′, which are evenly distributed around the periphery. The cable inlet 2 3 ′ is therefore sufficiently inherently resilient to avoid the need for the drum spring 3 3 previously provided. In the embodiments of the present invention, the ends 45, 47 of the joint 44 of the cam 20, the brackets 46 ', 48 provided on the joints on the housing 16A, rotate, and there is a car 50' covering the brackets. 4 6 ', 4 8 so that the sleeve is fixed transversely with respect to its axis of rotation A 2 instead of the elastically deformable rod 50 previously used. Like this elastic

O: \ 61 \ 61686.PTD Page 19 516258 V. Description of the invention (16) The deformable rod 50 is a part of the inner block 25A fastened to the casing 16A. In the illustrated embodiment, the yoke 50 'has a lateral cutout 82, and the clamping rib 21 on the cam 20 passes through this cutout, and it is substantially perpendicular to the rotation axis A2 of the cam 20. This divides it into four arms 8 3. In fact, at least one of these arms 83 forms part of the indexing device between the sleeve 44 of the cam 20 and the sleeve housing 16A. For this purpose, the arm 83 has an inwardly protruding bead 59 ' adapted to cooperate with one of the cutouts 60 in the sleeve 44 of the cam 20 instead of the lever 59 previously provided. For example, as shown here, each arm 8 3 of the yoke 50 'includes a crimp 5 9' of this nature. In the illustrated embodiment of the present invention, each of the brackets 4 6 ′, 4 8 of the cover housing 16 A is axially opened outward, and as a result, the user can access the cam 20 at each end 45, 47. Rehearsal 44. In the illustrated embodiment of the present invention, since a circular contour opening 8 5 in the casing 16 A is at the same height as the exit of the compartment 18, the bearing 4 6 ′ is opened outward. However, in this embodiment of the invention, the bracket 48 is inherently splayed outward. In this embodiment of the present invention, the lateral end face of the sleeve 44 is in direct cooperation with the sleeve housing 16A around the opening 85 and beyond the bracket 48, so that the cam 20 is actually axially fixed on the front side. The cam 20 has not only a cut 51 at the end 45 of its sleeve 44 but also a cut 51 'of the same type at the other end 47 thereof.

Description of the invention (π) To the limit As in the previous case, the cam 20 has a support 58 which moves in the peripheral direction to control its angular motion range. In fact, both ends 45, 47 of the sleeve 44 have supports 58 that move in the peripheral direction, and the brackets 46, 48 of the sleeve housing 16A each include lateral pawls 86 on both sides. In the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 24 to 35, one of the clamping ribs 21 of the cam 20, one of the flaps 62, is truncated at a peripheral end by a flat portion 87 to facilitate the 90 of the cam 20 ° Rotate. In this embodiment of the present invention, a clamping device 88 is provided between the sleeve housing 16A and the inner block 25A. When the connection device j 5 is assembled, it may therefore be advantageous for the sleeve housing 6a and the inner block 25A to form a single το subassembly, which holds the cam 20, and which can be rotated, but the cam 20 does not escape. Out, beans are easy to wear. The clamping device 88 actually actuates more than the cam 20, and 90, which is a part of the sleeve housing, which is in a follow-up form, and% replaces a single wall, so that the sleeve housing 16 & < a + < One to 30 is separated from each other and is in line with the brackets 46 and 48. For example, as shown here, the clamping device ^ 4 ^ seven π plus ⑴ 冰 冰 on / on on set 88 includes a head 91 on the sleeve housing 16A, which is convex above the bridge portion injury 90 And the lateral pawl 92 and the inner block 25Λ, the core between the meat 柃 "one month and the moon ★ called Pipi" two from 丄 r / the cavity 2 9 formed by the inner block 2 5 A # 式 Extends one elastically deformable lug 93 toward each other, and is suitable for the individual pawls 9 2 previously described. Σ In the illustrated embodiment of the present invention, the sleeve housing 16A has-recessed to its bottom

O: \ 61 \ 61686.PTD 516258 V. Description of the invention (18) The groove 95 on the surface is in line with the chamber 36 containing the cam 20 and is parallel to the rotation axis A 2. The groove is suitable as a template for the central core 11 of the coaxial cable 10 for stripping. In the embodiment of the present invention shown in Figs. 24 to 35, the lip 7 1 of the terminal 22 does not reach the bore 70. As shown in Fig. 32, one of the terminals 22 can be seen more clearly. And, this creates a permanent contact between the central core 11 of a coaxial cable 10 and a terminal 22 of this nature, even if the central core 11 is retracted due to the bending of the coaxial cable 10. Otherwise, the configuration is similar to that described previously, and assembly is performed using the explained process. However, if necessary, the star-shaped boss 32 can be replaced by a simple circular boss, which then only strengthens the fixing of the contact member 2 4 ′, thereby helping it to make the quality of the electrical contact. As shown in FIG. 36, in order to fix the cam 20 in the axial direction, the flaps 62 of the clamping ribs 21 of the cam 20 can be formed in the embodiment described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 20 by Each end is supported by a middle section 54 of a sleeve 44 of a shoulder 55. However, in order to use the incision 82 thereon to be inserted between the arms 83 of the vehicle 50 ′ and cooperate with the arms 83 to obtain the axial fixation, the middle section 54 of the sleeve 44 of the cam 20 is on the shaft Shorter, its length is actually equal to (slightly less than) the width of the notch 8 2. In the above description, it is assumed that even if it is flexed, it does not flex much. When turning the cam 20, and therefore as shown, the side of the coaxial cable 10 and the compartment 18 opposite to the cam 20 are on the side. There may be a slight gap between compartments 1 and 8, when

O: \ 61 \ 61686.PTD Page 22 516258 V. Description of the invention (19) The contact member 19 associated with the compartment 18 is relatively rigid. However, as an alternative to this situation, the contact member 19 may have a certain degree of elasticity, which may cause the coaxial cable 10 to be pressed against its side opposite to the side of the cam 20 when the cam 20 is rotated. Between 1 and 8 walls. In another embodiment of the present invention not shown in the drawings, at least one of the contact members 19, for example, each of which is a part of a contact member, is separated from the casing 16 A and fastened therein. . Another embodiment of the present invention, which is not shown in the figure, is independent of the previous embodiment, but can be merged with it equally well, at least one of the contact members 19, for example, each in a compartment opposite to the cam 20 1 of the side. In another embodiment of the present invention, not shown in the figure, the cam 20 has at least two clamping ribs 21, which are staggered with each other along its rotation axis A2. In other words, to be as suitable as possible for coaxial cables 10 with different outer diameters, the peak distances D of the clamping ribs 21 are different for the same overall radius. More generally, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described and illustrated, or is only mentioned, but encompasses any variant implementation and / or combination of various embodiments. For example, the cam may be two parts, one including its sleeve and the other including its clamping ribs or ribs, rather than being a single body. The field of application of the present invention is not limited to those forming connection devices of autonomous entities, whether sockets or plugs, but also extends to connection devices integrated into any type of receiver for connection. If, as shown here, the connection device of the present invention includes two compartments, each adapted to accommodate a coaxial cable, the connection device can be used to connect only one coaxial cable
