Embodiment
The present invention has realized that except interconnection place between inside and outside conductor and each coaxial connector of coaxial cable, and PIM can also generate at the electrical interconnection place between the attachment unit interface of the coaxial connector of pairing.
In addition, threaded interconnect interface may be difficult to connect in high density/next-door neighbour's connector situation, is wherein limited to the access of individual connector body.According to bnc interface standard, because, due to the spring contact applying between positive and negative part, connector body may rotate along relative two latch (dual retaining pin) and contained spring element transverse pivot, so, even in using more minor diameter cable, the quick connecting interface of standard, such as BNC type interconnect, also may provide not satisfied electric property about PIM.In addition, although the interconnection of BNC type can connect fast, the demand of reversing engagement lock ring has stoped this connecting interface expecting blind local use of joining.
As shown in Fig. 1-2, blind exemplary embodiment of joining formula attachment unit interface has illustrated rigid connector interface, wherein positive and negative part 8,16 the interface end 14 of each part along self aligned, be generally together with conical matching surface is arranged to.
Those skilled in the art will recognize that, interface end 14 and cut cable 15 be in this article as the identifier of the corresponding end of the discrete component as two connectors and connector assembly described herein, so as according to they along in positive and negative part 8,16 each interface end 14 and cut cable 15 between the vertical shaft alignement identification of connector identical and the interconnect surface of their correspondences.In the time interconnecting by attachment unit interface, the interface end 14 of positive part 8 is coupled to the interface end 14 of negative part 16.
Positive part can also comprise the peripheral groove 10 that docking port end 14 is open, the overall diameter that is dimensioned to the interface end 14 of receiving negative part 16 of this peripheral groove 10.Thus, positive external conductor coupled surface 9 can extend to positive part 8 from peripheral groove 10 and contact the part of the internal side wall 46 of negative part 16, thereby increases significantly the surface area that can be used for positive external conductor coupled surface 9.
Polymer-supported support member 55 can be with respect to sheath (jacket) sealing of (against) cable 6, to both for the cut cable 15 of interconnection provides environmental sealing, provide again the structural strengthening of cable 6 to the interconnection of positive part 8.
Environmental sealing can be by providing ring packing groove 60(wherein can settle the seal 62 such as elasticity O ring etc. in overall diameter seating face 12) apply.Because the taper shape between overall diameter seating face 12 and exterior side wall 30 coordinates, so compared with being sealed in the friction running into while applying between telescopic cylindrical surface, seal 62 can experience the insertion friction reducing, make seal 62 sizes slightly bigger than normal, this can cause the environmental sealing improving between overall diameter seating face 12 and exterior side wall 30.Further seal 62 can be applied to the overall diameter of negative part 16, for the exterior side wall sealing (if present) with respect to peripheral groove 10.
The inventor also recognizes, forms contrast with the traditional mechanism of scolder and/or conductive adhesion interconnection, and the interconnection of molecular link type can reduce alumina surface coating problem, PIM generation and/or improve long-term interlinking reliability.
As used in this article, " molecular link " is defined as a kind of interconnection, the exchange of the material of each, mixing, fusion etc. in two elements that wherein the composition surface utilization between two elements is joined together.Generate boundary layer from the exchange of the material of each in two elements, mixing, fusion etc., the combination of materials mixing there becomes to comprise the composite material from the material of each in two elements that are joined together.
Those skilled in the art will recognize that, the heat that molecular link can be enough to by applying the composition surface of each in fusing two elements that will be joined together generates, and makes boundary layer become the surface exchange material each other of fusing and two fusings.So two elements relatives, in keeping each other stable, are enough to solidify until the boundary layer of fusing is cooled to.
Resultant interconnection transboundary surface layer is continual, thereby has eliminated quality interconnection and/or degradation problem such as material creep, oxidation, couple corrosion, moisture infiltration and/or interconnect surface drift.
The interconnect surface that molecular link between external conductor 44 and the positive part 8 of cable 6 can be expected between heat is to external conductor 44 and positive part 8 applies, for example, through laser or friction welding and generate.Friction welding can for example apply as the welding of rotation and/or ultrasonic type.
Molecular link between positive part 8 and external conductor 44 can be by forming ready cable 6 end patchhole 48, external conductor 44 is flushed with the interface end 14 in hole 48, thereby make laser be applied to the circumferential joint (circumferential joint) between the overall diameter of external conductor 44 and the interior diameter in hole 48 in interface end 14.
As an alternative, can be by apply ultrasonic vibration under pressure in the land of expecting between two parts welded together, generation is enough to plastify the amount of localized heat of adjacently situated surfaces, then surface will be kept in touch each other until (interflowed) surface cool of mixed flow, complete molecular link, thereby molecular link can form through ultra-sonic welded.Ultra-sonic welded can extremely highly precisely be applied to through a sonotrode and/or ultrasonic bond simultaneously the surface of a point and/or extension.In the ultra-sonic welded of application point, can apply in succession overlapping spot welding, to generate continuous ultra-sonic welded.Ultrasonic vibration can apply and/or reciprocal along segmental arc at for example linear direction, and this is called as twisting vibration.
Illustrate in Fig. 2 through external conductor molecular link ultrasonic or laser welding and positive part 8.Interface end 14 from hole 48 towards positive part 8 radially outward has the flared surfaces 50 of an angle open to the interface end 14 of positive part 8, thereby matching surface is provided, and the front end enlarging of external conductor 44 can be ultrasonically welded to this matching surface by the external conductor sonotrode that is inserted into the ultrasonic soldering contacting with front end enlarging from interface end 14.
In alternative, the interconnection between cable 6 and positive and/or negative part 8,16 can apply more routinely, for example, utilizes clamp type as known in the art and/or welding flux interconnected.
Before interconnection, the front end of cable 6 can be prepared by cutting cable 6, and inner conductor 63 is extended from external conductor 44.And the external jacket that the dielectric material that may exist between inner conductor 63 and external conductor 44 can return stripping and certain length is removed, to expose inner conductor 63 and the external conductor 44 of expecting Cheng Changdu.The size of inner conductor 63 can be designed to extend through attached coaxial connector, interconnects, as a part for connecting interface for directly touching part 71 with the inner conductor of negative part 16.As an alternative, for example, inner conductor section that need to be incompatible with the inner conductor of selected cable 6 63 at selected connecting interface and/or the material of inner conductor 63 are unexpected inner conductor attachment unit interface materials, such as aluminium time, can add inner conductor cap 64 and provide the positive inner conductor surface 65 of expectation in the interface end of positive part 8 for inner conductor 63 by application.
For example shown in Fig. 2, inner conductor cap 64 can be by forming such as brass, the metal of bronze or the metal of other expectation best.Inner conductor cap 64 can utilize molecular link to be applied to the end of inner conductor 63, is also for example by the friction welding such as rotation or ultra-sonic welded.Inner conductor cap 64 can have through hole or inner conductor socket (socket) and the inner conductor interface of expectation is provided in interface end 14 at cut cable 15.The size of inner conductor socket can be designed to coordinate with the ready end of the inner conductor 63 of cable 6.In order to apply inner conductor cap 64,63 these ends of inner conductor can be prepared to the pin section of the socket geometry that provides selected corresponding to inner conductor cap 64.In order to allow material mixed flow in the process of weld attachment, the socket geometry of inner conductor cap 64 and/or the end of inner conductor 63 can be formed as providing material gap in the time that inner conductor cap 64 is placed on the ready end of inner conductor 63.
Rotation key can provide on inner conductor cap 64, and being dimensioned to throw or sonotrode of this rotation key coordinates, for rotating and/or reversing reciprocal inner conductor cap 64, for carrying out molecular link interconnection through rotation or ultrasonic friction welding.
As an alternative, inner conductor cap 64 can be through being applied to the seam between the overall diameter of inner conductor 63 and the overall diameter of the cut cable 15 of inner conductor cap 64, or be applied in molecular link from the laser welding of the interface end 14 between the overall diameter of inner conductor and the interior diameter in inner conductor cap hole.
Connecting interface can utilize conventional " physical contact " current motor coupling to apply.Generate in order also further to eliminate PIM about the connecting interface between coaxial connector, connecting interface can be enhanced in order to using capacitive coupling.
Capacitive coupling can obtain by applying dielectric isolation part between the inside in attachment unit interface and/or external conductor contact surface.Capacitive coupling between the conductive surface separating has been eliminated the interconnection of Direct Current between these surfaces, these surfaces otherwise can suffer herein above about cable connector to generate/degradation of the PIM described in the interconnection of connector.
Those skilled in the art will recognize that, capacitive coupling interconnection can be optimized for concrete operational frequency bands.For example, capacitive coupling level between the conductive surface, separating is the function of surface area, the dielectric constant of dielectric isolation part and the thickness of dielectric isolation part (distance between the conductive surface separating) of the desired frequency band of the signal of telecommunication, the conductive surface that separates.
Example as shown in figs. 1 and 2, by utilizing dielectric coat to cover the positive external conductor coupled surface 9(seating face 12 of positive part 18) at least interface end 14, dielectric isolation part can be applied as external conductor dielectric isolation part 66 about external conductor 44.Similarly, positive inner conductor coupled surface 65, is here the overall diameter of inner conductor cap 64, can cover with dielectric coat, to form inner conductor dielectric isolation part 68.Alternatively and/or additionally, as known equivalent, what outside and inner conductor dielectric isolation part 66,68 can be applied to ring-shaped groove 28 and/or the tactile part 71 of inner conductor can application region.Thus, in the middle of positive part 8 is fixed on corresponding negative part 15 time, form complete capacity coupled interconnect interface., between the inner conductor of mid-span interface or external conductor electrical path, there is not direct current interconnect.
Dielectric coat outside and inner conductor dielectric isolation part 66,68 can be used as for example pottery or polymer dielectric material for electrical provides.Can be ceramic coating with an example of dielectric coat high-precision applications, that there is suitable compression and heat-resistant quality at very thin thickness.Through various depositing technics, such as physical vapor deposition (PVD) etc., ceramic coating can be applied directly to the surface of expectation.Ceramic coating has the further benefit of high rigidity characteristic, protects thus coated surface before interconnection, be not damaged and/or resist the varied in thickness causing due to the compression stress existing in interconnection.Application examples can reduce the surface area demand of conductive surface separately as being as thin as the ability of dielectric coat as thin as a wafer of 0.5 micron, thereby the overall size of connecting interface is reduced.
The inner conductor dielectric isolation part 68 that covers positive inner conductor surface here provides as the inner conductor cap 64 that is illustrated as trochoidal surface in Fig. 1 and 2.For example; the trochoidal surface applying with the cone angle of the cone angle corresponding to positive external conductor coupled surface (cone seat surface 12) can provide the interconnection list area of increase and/or initially insert angular region, so that in the protection that starts inside and outside conductor dielectric isolation part 66,68 for the initial engagement process interconnecting.
Exemplary embodiment is to illustrate about the cable 6 as RF type coaxial cable.Those skilled in the art will recognize that, by being applied in suitable conductor matching surface/individual interconnection of conductors of aiming in the hole 48 of positive and negative part 8,16, connecting interface can be applied to the cable 6 of any expectation, for example multiconductor cable, power cable and/or optical cable similarly.
Those of skill in the art also will appreciate that, the discrete component that attachment unit interface utilization reduces quantity provides quick connection rigidity interconnection, and this can simplify manufacture and/or assembling demand.Contrary with the conventional connecting interface that is characterized as screw thread, the conical appearance (aspect) of seating face 12 is normally self aligned, thereby allows in the case of starting interconnection without the positive along the longitudinal axis to the accurate initial alignment of negative part 8,16.
Further blind joining functionally can be provided about the radial motion scope of the longitudinal axis of positive part 8 and be applied by positive part 8.Thus, the slight misalignment between positive and negative part 8,16 can be absorbed, and can not retrain (binding) cooperation and/or in interconnection process, damage positive inside and outside conductor matching surface 65,9.
As shown in for example Fig. 3 and 5, with respect to the chocking construction that positive part 8 and negative part 16 is remained on to cooperation/interlocking position, positive part can make it feasible by the positive part 8 that can move radially support on the biasing web in kickboard 34 (bias web) 32 about the radial motion of negative part 16.
As best, shown in Fig. 6, kickboard 34 can be used as wherein and provides by the plane component of multiple roundabout (circuitous) support arm 36 formation biasing webs 32.Support arm 36, shown here is three support arms 36, can equidistantly provide each other generally, here for example spaced 120 degree.Biasing web groove 38 can provide between two in support arm 36, for positive part 8 being inserted to biasing web 32.Biasing web groove 38 coordinates (see figure 2) with the maintenance groove 42 forming in the overall diameter of positive part 8.
Those skilled in the art will recognize that, roundabout support arm 36 forms to be together biased to and makes being placed on that positive part 8 in biasing web groove 38 remains on biasing web 32Nei center but the spring with the radial motion of certain limit.The level of the spring biasing applying is support arm cross section and selected kickboard material, the function of for example stainless characteristic.The flatness of the response of kickboard 34 can be carried out cost by punching press, laser cutting etc. and effectively accurately be manufactured.
