DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

Hereinafter technical solutions in embodiments of the present disclosure are described in conjunction with the drawings in embodiments of the present disclosure. The described embodiments are only some rather than all of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Any other embodiments obtained based on the embodiments of the present disclosure by those skilled in the art without any creative effort fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

As described in the background, conventionally soldering is used for wiring between an antenna and a cable. However such soldering method will damage to base material of antenna pattern due to high temperature and decrease productivity.

According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a connector is provided for connecting an antenna and a cable. The connector includes a first clamper for clamping the antenna and a second clamper for clamping the cable. The antenna and the cable are electrically connected to each other when the antenna and the cable are clamped by the first clamper and the second clamper respectively. In this way, the antenna and the cable can be electrically connected to each other by the connector, which is simple for connecting, with no damage to base material of the antenna and low cost.

The structures of the antenna and the cable will be described first.

Figure 1 illustrates a schematic structural diagram of an antenna according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The antenna includes a GND pad and a Feed pad. The GND pad is connected to a ground, and the Feed pad is connected to a RF circuit. In a scene where the antenna is applied to an AR glass, the antenna may be formed by transparent material.

It should be noted that the antenna may be formed in other patterns, which is not limited herein.

Figure 2 illustrates a schematic structural diagram of an antenna forming on a substrate according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In an embodiment, the antenna pattern is formed directly on a substrate.

For example, in a scene where the antenna pattern is applied to an AR glass, the antenna pattern may be formed on a transparent plastic, such as Polycarbonate (PC) or polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) , around 1 mm in thickness.

Figure 3 illustrates a schematic structural diagram of an antenna pattern forming on a film and a substrate according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In an embodiment, the antenna pattern is formed on a film, and then the film is pasted on a substrate.

For example in also the scene where the antenna pattern is applied to an AR glass, the antenna pattern is formed on a transparent film such as Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) , Polycarbonate (PC) and Polyimide (PI) , around 0.1mm in thickness, and then the transparent film is pasted on a substrate such as a transparent plastic.

Figure 4 illustrates a schematic structural diagram of a micro coaxial cable according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The micro coaxial cable includes a center-conductor for conducting, a dielectric-layer for isolation, an outer-conductor for shielding and a jacket for protection from inner to outer.

It is to be noted that the micro coaxial cable is illustrated above as an example. The present disclosure is also applicable to other cables or wires which have conducting function.

Now connectors for connecting the antenna and the cable are described below.

Figure 5 illustrates a schematic structural diagram of a connector according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 5, the connector includes a first clamper 1, a second clamper 2, a pillar 3, and a force-applied part 4. The first clamper 1 is arranged at one end of the connector and is configured to clamp the antenna. The second clamper 2 is arranged beside the first clamper 1 and is configured to clamp the cable. The force-applied part 4 is located at the other end of the connector. The pillar 3 is located between the clampers and the force-applied part. The connector is deformable. When a force is applied on the force-applied part 4, deformation of the force-applied part 4 changes clamping forces of the first clamper 1 and the second clamper 2 through the pillar 3 as a fulcrum shaft.

In an implementation, the connector is integrated molding, and is made of metal which has property of elastic deformation and property of conducting.

In an implementation, the connector is integrated molding, and is made of plastic which has property of elastic deformation. Since the plastic does not have the function of conducting, a conducting wire may be added between the first clamper and the second clamper for electronically connecting the antenna and the cable. The conducting wire may be arranged inside the connector or may be pasted on the connector.

In an implementation, the connector is made of plastic which has property of elastic deformation and metal which has property of elastic deformation and property of conducting. The metal may be formed between the first clamper and the second clamper for electronically connecting the antenna and the cable, and the plastic may be formed as a frame.

In an embodiment, the first clamper is formed by two protrudes and the antenna is clamped by the two protrudes.

In an embodiment, deformation of the force-applied part 4 is caused by a force-applied device. The force-applied part 4 has an open space for accommodating a force-applied device, and the force-applied device is configured to apply force on the force-applied part to cause the force-applied part to deform, so as to changes clamping forces of the first clamper and the second clamper.

Figure 6 illustrates a schematic diagram of applying a force-applied device on the force-applied part of the connector in Figure 5 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The force-applied device 5 is an extension-type support that can be controlled to be stretched or shortened. For example the extension-type support is a telescopic sleeve. When the extension-type support 5 is stretched, an upward force is applied on point A of the force-applied part 4, and the force is passed to the first and second clampers at points B and C via the pillar 3 and the points B and C subject a downward force, as thick arrows shown in Figure 6. In this way, the clampers 1 and 2 clamp the antenna and the cable.

Therefore, in the embodiment, by stretching the extension-type support 5, the clampers 1 and 2 can clamp the antenna and the cable and thus the antenna and the cable can be electrically connected to each other.

Accordingly, a method for connecting the antenna and the cable via the extension-type support 5 may include: inserting the antenna into the first clamper 1; inserting the cable into the second clamper 2; and stretching the extension-type support 5 to connect the antenna and the cable. In this way, the antenna and the cable can be electrically connected to each other by the connector, which is simple for connecting, with no damage to base material of the antenna and low cost.

Figure 7 illustrates a schematic diagram of applying a force-applied device on the force-applied part of the connector in Figure 5 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The force-applied device 5 is a spring. When the connector is to be used for connecting an antenna and a cable, the spring is firstly pressed. For example, people may press the force-applied part 4 at upper side of the force-applied part 4 by using for example his fingers, to press the spring. In this case, the point A is subjected a downward force. The force is passed to the first and second clampers at points B and C via the pillar 3 and thus the points B and C subject an upward force, as shown by black thick arrows in Figure 7. In this way, the clampers 1 and 2 are opened for inserting the antenna and the cable.

After the antenna and the cable are inserted into the first and second clampers, the spring can be released. In this case, an upward force is applied on point A of the force-applied part 4, and the force is passed to the first and second clampers at points B and C via the pillar 3 and thus the points B and C subject a downward force, as shown by white thick arrows in Figure 7. Therefore the clampers 1 and 2 clamp the antenna and the cable.

Therefore, in the embodiment, by loosening the spring 5, the clampers 1 and 2 can clamp the antenna and the cable and thus the antenna and the cable can be electrically connected to each other.

Accordingly, a method for connecting the antenna and the cable via the extension-type support 5 may include: pressing the spring; inserting the antenna into the first clamper 1; inserting the cable into the second clamper 2; and loosening the spring 5 to connect the antenna and the cable. In this way, the antenna and the cable can be electrically connected to each other by the connector, which is simple for connecting, with no damage to base material of the antenna and low cost.

Figure 8 illustrates a schematic diagram of applying a force-applied device on the force-applied part of the connector in Figure 5 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The force-applied device 5 is a flip that can be controlled to be flipped. When the flip is flipped, an upward force is applied on point A of the force-applied part 4, and the force is passed to the first and second clampers at points B and C via the pillar 3 and thus the points B and C subject a downward force, as thick arrows shown in Figure 8. In this way, the clampers 1 and 2 clamp the antenna and the cable.

Figure 9 illustrates a schematic diagram of a flip according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 9, the flip includes a shaft 51 and at least one cam 52. The shaft 51 is arranged along one side of the flip, and the at least one cam 52 is rotated as the shaft 51 being rotated. After the flip is inserted into the force-applied part 4 and by tilting the flip upwardly, the cam 52 of flip lifts up the force-applied part 4 at point A, and points B and C of the connector go down due to the force from point A. In this way, the clampers 1 and 2 clamp the antenna and the cable.

Therefore, in the embodiment, by flipping the flip 5, the clampers 1 and 2 can clamp the antenna and the cable and thus the antenna and the cable can be electrically connected to each other.

Accordingly, a method for connecting the antenna and the cable via the flip 5 may include: inserting the antenna into the first clamper 1; inserting the cable into the second clamper 2; and flipping the flip 5 to connect the antenna and the cable. In this way, the antenna and the cable can be electrically connected to each other by the connector, which is simple for connecting, with no damage to base material of the antenna and low cost.

In an implementation, the edge of the force-applied part 4 contacting with the force-applied device is slant, as shown in Figure 10. In this way, it is easy to slide the flip into the open space of the force-applied part 4 and the flip can be locked into the open space.

In an implementation, the pillar 3 is curved, with bulge of the curved pillar 3 facing the force-applied part 4, as shown in Figure 11. In this way, it is easy for the pillar 3 to transfer the force from the force-applied part 4 to the clampers 1 and 2.

In an implementation, one or more notches are provided on the pillar 3, as shown in Figure 12. In this way, it is easy for the pillar 3 to transfer the force from the force-applied part 4 to the clampers 1 and 2.

Figure 13 illustrates a connector for connecting an antenna and a cable according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 13, the connector includes a first clamper 1, a second clamper 2 and an extension-type support 6. The first clamper 1 and the second clamper 2 are located at two ends of the connector, and the extension-type support 6 is located between the first clamper 1 and the second clamper 2. The extension-type support 6 can be controlled to be stretched or shortened. For example, the extension-type support may be a telescopic sleeve. When the extension-type support is stretched, as thick arrows shown in Figure 13, an upward force is applied on point A, and the force is passed to the first and second clampers at points B and C and thus the points B and C subject a downward force. In this case, the clampers 1 and 2 clamp the antenna and the cable.

Figure 14 illustrates a connector for connecting an antenna and a cable according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 14, the connector includes a first clamper 1, the second clamper 2 and a conducting wire 7. The first clamper 1 is configured to clamp the antenna. The second clamper 2 is configured to clamp the cable. The conducting wire 3 is configured to electrically connect the first clamper 1 and the second clamper 2. When the first and second clampers clamp the antenna and the cable, the conducting wire 3 electrically connecting the antenna and the cable.

In Figure 14, the first clamper 1 and the second clamper are the same. In other embodiments, the second clamper may be different from the first clamper, for example the second clamper may be formed by two platforms.

Figure 15 illustrates a schematic diagram of a connector connecting an antenna and a micro coaxial cable according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In this embodiment, the connector includes a first clamper for clamping the antenna and a second clamper for clamping the micro coaxial cable. The first clamper includes two first clamping chucks, and the two first clamping chucks are configured to clamp GND pad and Feed pad of the antenna respectively. The second clamper includes two second clamping chucks, and the two second clamping chucks are configured to clamp outer-conductor and center-conductor of the cable respectively. The first clamping chuck configured to clamp the GND pad of the antenna is electrically connected to the second clamping chuck configured to clamp the outer-conductor of the cable, and the first clamping chuck configured to clamp the Feed pad of the antenna is electrically connected to the second clamping chuck configured to clamp the center-conductor of the cable. Therefore, after the clamping chucks clamp the GND pad and Feed pad of the antenna and the outer-conductor and center-conductor of the cable, the GND pad of the antenna is electronically connected to the outer-conductor of the cable and the Feed pad of the antenna is electronically connected to the center-conductor of the cable.

In the above embodiment, the distance between the two platforms of the second clamping chuck configured to clamp the center-conductor of the cable is less than the distance between the two platforms of the second clamping chuck configured to clamp the outer-conductor of the cable. Those skilled in the art can design appropriate distance in view of different diameter of cable to be clamped.

In the above embodiment, when the antenna is formed on a substrate, the substrate including the antenna pattern may be inserted into the first clamper 1 for clamping.

It is to be noted that the connector including two first clamping chucks and two second clamping chucks can be applied to any of the above structures of connector. For example, for the structure of connector shown in Figure 14, there may be two first clampers and two second clampers, and a pair of first and second clampers is used for connecting GND pad of the antenna and outer-conductor of the cable and the other pair of first and second clampers is used for connecting Feed pad of the antenna and the outer-conductor of the cable.

Conventionally soldering is used for connecting the transparent antenna and the micro coaxial cable, which will damage to base material of the antenna due to high temperature. In this embodiment, a connector is used for connecting the transparent antenna and the micro coaxial cable. The connector may be any of the above connectors.

Figure 17 illustrates a schematic diagram of connection between an antenna and a micro coaxial cable via a connector in a glass style AR device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In the glass style AR device, the rim fixes the lens, and there is an open space between the lens and the rim. In the embodiment, the connector is formed in the open space between the lens and the rim, to save space and does not affect appearance of the glass style AR device. In this way, the micro coaxial cable for connecting the antenna and the cable can be arranged along outline of the lens, which saves space and has no affection on transparency of the glass.
