TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention is related to a coaxial cable connector, especially, related to a coaxial cable connector with good electrical connectivity.

BACKGROUND

At present, TV reception is mainly based on cable TV. The signal of the cable TV is transmitted to the receiving TV by a coaxial cable. This coaxial cable connects to the cable TV decoders, cassette recorders/digital video discs (VCR/DVD) hard disk digital recorders, satellite receivers, video games, TV signal distribution splitters, and switch connections via the screw-on F-Type connectors.

The above-mentioned problem of poor electrical conduction will result in poor grounding of the connector body and the threaded interface connector. The reasons of poor grounding of the conventional screw-on F-Type connector may be caused via that the nut of the F-type connector did not tightly contact with inner sleeve of the F-type connector, and/or via that the inner sleeve of the F-type connector did not contact with the above-mentioned threaded surface connector of the device. That is, the poor contact condition of the F-type connector itself and the poor contact condition between the F-type connector and the threaded surface connector threaded surface connector lead to the poor grounding, and further, the performance of the electrical signal transmission becomes worse. In addition, the external force, such as pulling force, applied to the coaxial cable may cause the coaxial cable detach from the coaxial cable connector so that the signal transmission becomes unstable.

Referring to FIGS. 1, 3, 4 and 5, the spring 4 is sleeved on the second surface 12 of the inner sleeve 1. In this embodiment, the spring 4 includes a baffle portion 41, a plurality of base sections 42, a plurality of connecting portions 43, and a plurality of elastic wing 44. The baffle portion 41 has a through hole 45. The configuration of the baffle portion 41 can be a ring-like structure or a structure with a cavity having a radian ranging from 10 degrees to 30 degrees, ranging from 20 degrees to 45 degrees, ranging from 60 degrees to 150 degrees, or ranging from 60 degrees to 120 degrees. The diameter of the baffle portion 41 must be limited to the range where the spring 4 can be arranged tightly to the edge of the second surface 12 of the inner sleeve 1. The base 42 is surrounded to the second surface 12 of the inner sleeve 1. The connecting portions 43 are arranged at intervals along the circumference. One end of each connecting portion 43 is connected to the baffle portion 41, and the other end is connected to the corresponding base 42. The elastic wings 44 are respectively connected to the base 42, wherein each elastic wing 44 is pressed against the inclined surface 221 of the inner flange 22 of the nut 2. Preferably, the baffle portion 41, the base 42, the connecting portion 43, and the elastic wing 44 are integrated.

In the present invention, the spring 4 is in a relaxed state before assembled with other components. Each elastic wing 44 is bent outward based on the corresponding base 42 with a first angle B. The first angle B is an acute angle ranging from 10 degrees to 20 degrees, ranging from 15 degrees to 60 degrees, ranging from 20 degrees to 45 degrees, or ranging from 30 degrees to 75 degrees, and an opening of the first angle B faces to the baffle portion 41. As the spring 4 is arranged in the inner sleeve 1, the elastic wing 44 presses against the inclined surface 221 of the inner flange 22 of the nut 2, and the connecting portion 43 of the spring 4 is tightly contact to the peripheral edge of the second surface 12. Thus, the assembly of the spring 4 and the inner sleeve 1 can be stable and fastened. Furthermore, the thicknesses of the baffle portion 41, the connecting portion 43, and the elastic wing 44 of the spring 4 can be ranging from 0.05 mm to 0.5 mm or ranging from 0.03 mm to 1 mm selectively.

FIG. 1 illustrates a cross-sectional view of a first embodiment of a coaxial cable connector of the present invention. FIG. 5 illustrates a front-side view of the spring of the first embodiment. FIG. 6 illustrates a cross-sectional view of the coaxial cable connector having the coaxial cable illustrated in the first embodiment, wherein a first outer sleeve of the first embodiment has not been pressed and deformed by a second outer sleeve. FIG. 7 illustrates a cross-sectional view of the coaxial cable connector having the coaxial cable illustrated in the first embodiment, wherein the end portion of the first outer sleeve of the first embodiment has been compressed and moves toward to the coaxial cable. Referring to FIGS. 1, 5, 6 and 7 in order, one of the procedures for assembling the coaxial cable connector is illustrated. At first, thread the inner sleeve 1 from the end of the rear end extension 14 through the through hole 45 of the spring 4 so that the through hole 45 of the spring 4 can be tightly fit to the second surface 12 of the inner sleeve 1. Then, thread the inner sleeve 1 having the spring 4 from the end of the rear end extension 14 through the nut 2 so that the inner flange 22 of the nut 2 surrounds the second surface 12 of the inner sleeve 1 and the surface of the spring 4. Then, tightly thread the inner sleeve 1 having the spring 4 from the end of the rear end extension 14 through the first outer sleeve 31. The first surface 11 of the inner sleeve 1 is exactly assembled to the head portion 311 of the first outer sleeve 31. At last, thread the end portion 312 of the first outer sleeve 31 through the second outer sleeve 32.

As installing the coaxial cable to the coaxial cable connector, the braid layer 56 and the plastic jacket 58 of the coaxial cable will be compressed and squeezed into the groove arranged between the rear end extension 14 of the inner sleeve 1 and the end portion 312 of the first outer sleeve 31. A part of the braid layer 56 will be turned outwards and cover a part of the plastic jacket 58. The metal wire 50, insulation layer 52, and metal film 54 of the coaxial cable are threaded through the outer flange 13 of the inner sleeve 1, wherein the metal wire 50 extends into the grooves of the threaded section 21 of the nut 2. In order to avoid the situation that the coaxial cable loosen from the connector due to the external forces (ex. pulling force), the inner peripheral surface of the second outer sleeve 32 tightly presses against the end portion 312 of the first outer sleeve 31 and gradually approaches to the axial line L as the second outer sleeve 32 axially moves toward the nut 2. Hence, the end portion 312 of the first outer sleeve 31 can be tightly assemble to the coaxial cable since the radial component force acts on the end portion 312 with elasticity, as shown in FIG. 7.

FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 illustrate a schematic diagram of the flowchart of connecting the coaxial cable connector to the connector of the electronic device according to the first embodiment. Referring to FIGS. 8 and 9, a schematic diagram of the flowchart of connecting the coaxial cable connector to the connector of the electronic device is illustrated. In the beginning, align the connector with the coaxial cable to the connector 91 with the threaded surface 92 of the electronic device 9, and thread the metal wire 50 arranged in the center of the coaxial cable through the connector 91 with the threaded surface 92. Then, screw the nut 2 to make the outer flange 13 of the inner sleeve 1 of the coaxial cable connector gradually approach the connector 91. During screwing the nut 2, the inner flange 22 of the nut 2 gradually approaches the baffle portion 41 of the spring 4 until mutually contacted. Meanwhile, the inner flange 22 of the nut 2 also presses the elastic wing 44 of the spring 4 so that the angle of the elastic wing 44 is restricted. During screwing the nut 2, the elastic wing 44 of the spring 4 are compressed (or constrained) from the relaxed state (as shown in FIG. 8) to the compressed state (as shown in FIG. 9). Both the coaxial cable connector and the connector 91 of the electronic device 9 are tightly and fixedly locked as the nut 2 is tightly assembled to the connector 91 of the electronic device 9. At this time, the elastic wing 44 is radially arranged between the inner flange 22 of the nut 2 and the second surface 12 of the inner sleeve 1. The inner flange 22 of the nut 2 is pressed against the baffle portion 41 of the spring 4. Because the reasons of that the baffle portion 41 to tightly contact the outer flange 13 of the inner sleeve 1 is tightly pressed via the inner flange 22 of the nut 2, that the baffle portion 41 is arranged between the outer flange 13 and the inner flange 22, and that the elastic wing 44 is elastic, the spring 4 can be tightly assembled to the surface of the inner sleeve 1. The elastic wing 44 and the connecting portion 43 are radially arranged between the inner flange 22 and the inner sleeve 1. The excellent contact interfaces among baffle portion 41, the elastic wing 44, and the connecting portion 43 can be implemented via the inner flange 22 of the nut 2. Thus, the performances of the electrical signal transmission as well as the electrical connection for grounding can both be greatly improved.

It is worth mentioning that purpose and effect of the coaxial cable connector can also be achieved if the spring 4 has one elastic wing 44, one connecting portion 43, and one base 42.

FIG. 13 illustrates a schematic diagram of an electronic device having the coaxial cable connector combined with the spring illustrated in FIG. 10.

Referring to FIGS. 10, 11, 12 and 13, another spring applied to the coaxial cable connector of the first embodiment is illustrated. The spring 4 has only one base 42, a plurality of connecting portion 43, and a plurality of elastic wing 44. The elastic wing 44, the base 42, and the connecting portion 43 are integrated. The connecting portions 43 and the elastic wings 44 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the base 42. As the coaxial cable connector is assembled to the electronic device 9, the inner flange 22 of the nut 2 is in contacted with the outer flange 13 of the inner sleeve 1, and the elastic wing 44 is radially arranged between the flange 22 of the nut 2 and the second surface 12 of the inner sleeve 1. The nut 2 is tightly assembled to the inner sleeve 1 via the elastic force of the elastic wing 44. Thus, the performances of the electrical signal transmission as well as the electrical connection for grounding can both be greatly improved.

FIG. 14 illustrates a cross-sectional view of the coaxial cable connector combined with a C-shaped ring according to the first embodiment. Referring to FIG. 14, a C-shaped ring 6 can be exerted to replace the spring. The C-shaped ring 6 is arranged between the second surface 12 of the inner sleeve 1 and the inclined surface 221 of the inner flange 22. The cross-section of the C-shaped ring 6 is a rectangle of equal width up and down in this embodiment. In other words, an upper-side width and a lower-side width of the C-shaped ring are equal cross-sectionally. For instance, the shape of cross-section of the C-shaped ring 6 illustrated is a rectangle with equal upper-side width and lower-side width. In other cases, the shape of cross-section of the C-shaped ring 6 can be a parallelogram, circle, ellipse, or polygon with equal upper-side width and lower-side width.
