Definitions

  • the invention relates to a coupler for a coaxial connector with a plug end for connecting to a coaxial connector, one the plug end End facing away from the end, in particular for connecting with a coaxial cable, a contact sleeve, which is designed as a collet on the plug side, and with an axially movable locking sleeve overlapping the collet, which is an unlocked position in which the collet can be expanded and thus the coaxial connector in the coupler until the collet snaps in a groove on the coupler side can be inserted, and furthermore has a locking position, in which the collet cannot be expanded and thus the coaxial connector from Coupler is not detachable, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such coax connectors with snap mechanism are, for example, for a sogn. SMB series described in the German standard DIN EN 122130. at a snap-in contact sleeve snaps these plug connections of a coupler into a groove of a plug. This is the plug connection only by applying a corresponding force, which by the force the snap connection is intended to solve.
  • this connector is undesirable, for example, under the influence of vibrations solves.
  • US-A-3 885 851 describes a coupler according to the Preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object, a coupler of the above.
  • Kind to create which has a simple structure and at the same time reliable in handling and safe against unwanted loosening of the once made Plug connection is.
  • a coupler of the above is in a coupler of the above.
  • a at least the end of the locking sleeve facing away from the plug-side end of the coupler has a radially resilient section which is formed in this way is that it cooperates with a surface of the coupler such that with axial deflection of the locking sleeve from the locking position by radially deflecting the elastically resilient section of the locking sleeve results in a restoring force in the locking position.
  • the locking sleeve has, for example, a first unlocking position Insert the coaxial connector and a second unlock position to release of the coaxial connector from the coupler, with the locking sleeve in the first Unlocking position from the locking position in the direction of the plug side End of the coupler and in the second unlocking position in the direction of the end of the coupler facing away from the plug end.
  • the locking sleeve is formed like a collet.
  • the locking sleeve a cam and on the surface of the coupler in the area of the cam formed two oppositely beveled surfaces, which are arranged and designed such that the cam upon deflection of the Locking sleeve from the locking position depending on the axial direction of movement the locking sleeve slides along one of the inclined surfaces and deflection of the resilient portion of the locking sleeve causes.
  • the cam is preferably formed in one piece with the locking sleeve.
  • the surface of the Coupler a cam and on the resilient portion of the locking sleeve two oppositely beveled surfaces in the area of the cam trained, which are arranged and designed such that upon deflection the locking sleeve from the locking position depending on the axial direction of movement the locking sleeve one of the inclined surfaces above the cam slides and a deflection of the resilient portion of the locking sleeve causes.
  • the inclined surfaces are expediently in one piece formed with the locking sleeve.
  • the locking sleeve preferably have the sloping surfaces.
  • the locking sleeve is preferred for cost-effective and automated mass production formed as an injection molded part, the locking sleeve for example is made of plastic.
  • the locking sleeve has a mechanically high stability of the locking preferably an inserted metal part in the area of the locking of the collet, in particular a brass part, on.
  • the preferred embodiment shown in Fig. 1 of an inventive Coupler includes a contact sleeve 10, a central conductor 12 and a locking sleeve 14.
  • the contact sleeve 10 is at one end with a plug Collet 18 formed, in which a plug indicated with dashed lines 20 can be inserted.
  • the inside diameter of the collet 18 and the outside diameter of the connector 20 are dimensioned such that for insertion of the plug 20, the collet 18 must be expanded.
  • the connector 20 also has a circumferential groove 22, in the completely in the contact sleeve 10 inserted plug 20 snaps the collet 18 and thus one certain resistance to loosening of connector 20 and contact sleeve 10 for Provides.
  • the locking sleeve 14 is formed at its plug-side end 16 in such a way that they expand in a locking position shown in Fig. 1 Collet 18 and thus prevents the plug 20 from being inserted or removed.
  • the locking sleeve 14 has a corresponding elevation in the area 24 26, strike the corresponding segments of the collet 18, when the locking sleeve 14 in the locking position shown in Fig. 1 located. By striking the segments of the collet 18 is prevents the same from expanding and plugging or unplugging the plug 20 blocked.
  • the resilient portions 30 are formed such that they are of the coupler can be deflected elastically resilient in the radial direction.
  • Each elastically resilient section 30 has a cam 32 which is in a recess 34 engages in the contact sleeve 10 of the coupler.
  • the recess 34 is formed with two inclined surfaces 36 such that when the locking sleeve is deflected 14 from the locking position of the cams shown in FIG.
  • a reset mechanism is thus according to the invention realized for the locking sleeve 14 in the locking position, at which only the locking sleeve 14 interacts with the contact sleeve 10, without additional separate parts.
  • the axial movement of the locking sleeve 14 on the contact sleeve 10 is the corresponding stops 38 of the Recess 34 limited at the ends of the inclined surfaces 36. At these attacks 38 strike the cams 32 with a corresponding deflection of the locking sleeve 14 on and the locking sleeve 14 is no longer axially movable.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates a first unlocking position of the locking sleeve 14 for inserting the plug 20 into the contact sleeve 10 with simultaneous expansion and snapping the collet 18 into the groove 22.
  • the locking sleeve 14 manually in the direction of the plug end 16 of the coupler moved so that the corresponding segments of the collet 18 in radial Direction have an opening to widen the collet.
  • the coupler manually by hand in the area of the locking sleeve 14 gripped and the connector 20 and the coupler pressed against each other, so that a force in the direction of arrow 40 is exerted on the locking sleeve 14 becomes.
  • the cams 32 slide along the inclined surfaces 36 and thus lead to the 2 apparent elastic deflection of the resilient portions 30.
  • the cams 32 and thus the locking sleeve 14 are accordingly under a bias, which is a restoring force towards the locking position.
  • Fig. 3 shows a second unlocking position of the locking sleeve 14 for releasing the coaxial connector and for pulling the plug 20 out of the Contact sleeve 10.
  • the connector 20 and the locking sleeve 14th manually gripped and pulled away from each other, creating a releasing force results in the direction of arrow 42.
  • the locking sleeve 14 in Direction of an end of the coupler facing away from the plug-side end 26 axially moved and the segments of the collet 18 have a corresponding Clearance in the radial direction to expand the collet 18 so that it is out the groove 22 of the plug 20 can be pulled out.
  • Couplers intuitive and without special attention to manufacture or release a coaxial connector can be handled, the user in particular about the required unlocking position of the locking sleeve 14 no need to worry
  • the correct unlocking position results automatically when the coupler and connector 20 are pressed together during manufacture the coaxial connector as well as when pulling the coupler and Plug 20 to release the coaxial connector.
  • the plug connection is also manually only by consciously corresponding Holding the coupler on the locking sleeve 14 releasably, otherwise even when force is applied between the coupler and the plug 20 in the release direction 42 (Fig. 3) the locking sleeve 14 remains in the locking position shown in FIG. 1 and releasing the plug 20 from the collet 18 of the contact sleeve 10 is prevented.
  • the coupler is removed from the connector 20 due to accidental tensile load on the coaxial cable attached to the coupler prevented.
