Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verbindungselement für ein koaxiales Hochfrequenz-Kabel, das einen Innenleiter, ein denselben umgebendes Dielektrikum und einen konzentrisch zum Innenleiter angeordneten, rohrförmigen Außenleiter aufweist. dessen Ende zur Schaffung einer umlaufenden Kontaktfläche konusförmig aufgeweitet ist, bestehend aus einer Kontaktbuchse mit einem zur Anlage an der Innenfläche der Kontaktfläche des Außenleiters bestimmten, umlaufenden Vorsprung mit konischer Außenfläche und einem den Außenleiter in Gebrauchslage umgebenden Rohrstück sowie aus einer axial verschiebbaren Kontakthülse, die an einem Ende eine umlaufende, sich konisch erweiternde und zur Anlage an der Außenfläche der Kontaktfläche des Außenleiters bestimmte Innenfläche hat, wobei die Kontakthülse durch eine Drehbewegung der Kontaktbuchse gegen die Kontaktfläche des Außenleiters drückbar ist (DE 27 24 862 C2).The invention relates to a connecting element for a coaxial high-frequency cable, the one inner conductor, a dielectric surrounding it and one concentric to the Has inner conductor arranged, tubular outer conductor. its end to creation a circumferential contact surface is widened conically, consisting of a Contact socket with one for contacting the inner surface of the contact surface of the outer conductor certain, circumferential projection with a conical outer surface and a the outer conductor in Pipe section surrounding use position and from an axially displaceable contact sleeve, which at one end is a circumferential, conically widening and to the plant on the Has outer surface of the contact surface of the outer conductor certain inner surface, the Contact sleeve by rotating the contact socket against the contact surface of the External conductor can be pressed (DE 27 24 862 C2).

Ein solches Verbindungselement dient beispielsweise zum Anschließen eines koaxialen Hochfrequenz-Kabels - im folgenden kurz "HF-Kabel" genannt - an eine weiterführende Steckverbindung, an ein HF-Gerät oder zum Durchverbinden mit einem anderen HF-Kabel. Die Innenleiter der HF-Kabel werden dabei in der Regel mit einem Stift und einer korrespondierenden Buchse durchverbunden. Probleme ergeben sich oft bei der Verbindung der Außenleiter der HF-Kabel, weil es bei nicht ausreichend guter Kontaktierung zu Intermodulationserscheinungen kommt. Das kann zur Anregung neuer Frequenzen führen, die das eigentliche Nutsignal störend beeinflussen.Such a connecting element is used, for example, to connect a coaxial High-frequency cable - hereinafter referred to as "HF cable" - to a further one Plug connection, to an HF device or to connect with another HF cable. The inner conductors of the RF cables are usually with a pin and one corresponding socket connected. Problems often arise with the connection the outer conductor of the HF cable, because if the contact is not good enough Intermodulation phenomena come. This can lead to the excitation of new frequencies that interfere with the actual groove signal.

Bei dem bekannten Verbindungselement nach der eingangs erwähnten DE 27 24 862 C2 ist die Kontaktierung des Außenleiters durch das Zusammenwirken von konischem Vorsprung der Kontaktbuchse und konischer Kontakthülse trotz einfachen Aufbaus gegenüber anderen Konstruktionen verbessert. Trotzdem treten störende Intermodulationserscheinungen auf. In the known connecting element according to the aforementioned DE 27 24 862 C2 the contacting of the outer conductor through the interaction of the conical projection Contact socket and conical contact sleeve despite simple construction compared to others Constructions improved. Nevertheless, disturbing intermodulation phenomena occur.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, das eingangs geschilderte Verbindungselement so zu gestalten, daß Intermodulationen bei der Kontaktierung des Außenleiters weitestgehend unterdrückt werden können.The invention has for its object the connection element described above to design that intermodulation when contacting the outer conductor as far as possible can be suppressed.

Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung dadurch gelöst,

  • daß auch die Außenfläche der Kontakthülse konisch verläuft und
  • daß über der Kontakthülse eine in axialer Richtung verschiebbare Druckbuchse mit einer sich konisch erweiternden, zur Anlage an der Außenfläche der Kontakthülse dienenden Innenfläche angebracht ist, die durch die Drehbewegung der Kontaktbuchse gegen die Kontaktfläche des Außenleiters drückbar ist.
According to the invention, this object is achieved by
  • that the outer surface of the contact sleeve is tapered and
  • that an axially displaceable pressure sleeve is attached above the contact sleeve with a conically widening inner surface serving to rest on the outer surface of the contact sleeve, which can be pressed against the contact surface of the outer conductor by the rotary movement of the contact sleeve.

Bei diesem Verbindungselement ist es auf sehr einfache Art und Weise gelungen, den Kontaktdruck am Außenleiter so zu erhöhen, daß durch diese Kontaktstelle keine Intermodulationen mehr hervorgerufen werden. Beim Anziehen der Kontaktbuchse werden durch deren Drehbewegung einerseits ihr konischer Vorsprung und andererseits die Kontakthülse sehr fest an die konische Kontaktfläche des Außenleiters angepreßt. Das ist dadurch besonders fest und durch keinen Anschlag begrenzt, daß die axial bewegliche Druckbuchse an ihrem Ende ebenfalls konisch ausgeführt ist. Sie überträgt also die in axialer Richtung auf sie einwirkende Kraft vollständig auf die Kontaktfläche des Außenleiters. Diese konische Kontaktfläche ist dadurch beidseitig fest eingeklemmt. Sie wird mit entsprechend hohem Druck an den Vorsprung der Kontaktbuchse gepreßt. Der Übergangswiderstand zwischen beiden Teilen ist daher extrem niedrig.With this connecting element, it was possible in a very simple manner To increase the contact pressure on the outer conductor so that none through this contact point Intermodulations are caused more. When tightening the contact socket through their rotary motion on the one hand their conical projection and on the other hand the Contact sleeve pressed very firmly against the conical contact surface of the outer conductor. This is thereby particularly firmly and not limited by a stop that the axially movable Pressure bushing is also conical at its end. So it transmits the axially Direction force acting on them completely on the contact surface of the outer conductor. This This means that the conical contact surface is firmly clamped on both sides. You will with accordingly high pressure pressed against the projection of the contact socket. The contact resistance between the two parts is therefore extremely low.
