Technical field
The present invention relates generally to coaxial cable connector, and specifically, the present invention relates to the coaxial cable connector with overall contact portion, described overall contact portion and another coaxial cable connector assembly are global formation, and for radio frequency interference (RFI) and earth shield provide continuity but not by independent continuity parts between coaxial cable and electric equipment connector, and the tightness coupled of no matter coaxial cable connector and electric equipment connector, and do not limit the movement of the coupler of the coaxial cable connector when coaxial cable connector is attached to electric equipment connection.
Background technology
Use the coaxial cable connector as F-type connector that coaxial cable is attached to another object or electrical equipment (such as, having the television set of the terminal being suitable for engaging connector, DVD player, modulator-demodulator or other electronic communication device).The terminal of electrical equipment comprise inside conductor and around outer conductor.
Coaxial cable comprises the center conductor for signal transmission.Dielectric substance is around center conductor, and outer conductor is around dielectric substance.Outer conductor can be the form of conductive foil and/or braiding sheath.Outer conductor is maintained at usually the signal that earthing potential sentences the transmission of shielding center conductor to affect from clutter noise, and maintains the continuous print on signal path, desired impedance.Usual plastic cable sheath is around outer conductor, and described plastic cable sheath electric isolution also mechanically protects outer conductor.Before on installation coaxial connector to the end of coaxial cable, usually to assign to prepare the end of coaxial cable with the terminal part exposing outer conductor by the end section of stripping sheath.Similarly, it is common for peeling off a dielectric part to expose the end section of center conductor.
The coaxial cable connector being known as the type of " F-type connector " in industry generally includes tubular post, described tubular post through design with the outer conductor slid underneath of the end of the preparation at coaxial cable side and coaxial cable on the dielectric material.If the outer conductor of cable comprises braiding sheath, then usually make braiding sheath doubling above cable cover(ing) of exposure.The outer conductor of cable cover(ing) and doubling extends around the outside of tubular post substantially and is usually received in the outer main body of connector.The outer main body of connector is fixedly secured to tubular post usually.Coupler is rotatably fixed around tubular post usually, and described coupler comprises threaded region, and described threaded region is formed in the external screw thread on the outer conductor of electrical equipment terminal for engaging.Or or in addition, coupler can frictional fit, spiral and/or be latched on the outer conductor of electrical equipment terminal.
When the end of connecting coaxial cable is to the terminal of television set, appliance case, modulator-demodulator, computer or other electrical equipment, realize reliably being electrically connected very important between the outer conductor and the outer conductor of electrical equipment terminal of coaxial cable.Usually, this target realizes by above the connector of guaranteeing to make the coupler of connector to be completely fixed in electrical equipment usually.When fully tightening, the head of the tubular post of connector directly engages the edge of the outer conductor of electrical equipment port, thus electrical equipment port outer conductor with form direct electrical grounding between tubular post and be connected.Tubular post is engaged with the outer conductor of coaxial cable.
The use being provided to the proprietary increase from mounting kit in house by some CATV system operator has caused the customer complaint due to the imperfect picture quality in video system and/or the bad data performance in computer/Internet system.In addition, CATV system operator has found by the upstream data problem of the interference RF signal induction of the system of entering.This type of complaint causes CATV system operator to need technician to deal with problems.The reason often Reported a Problem by technical staff is that loose F-type connector coordinates, and sometimes causes from the inappropriate installation of mounting kit because house is proprietary.Because have incoherence along the electrical path between device, therefore install inadequately or loose connector can cause bad Signal transmissions, thus cause entering of radio frequency (" RF ") signal improperly, RF energy wherein from external source or multiple external source can enter connector/cable configurations, cause signal noise ratio problem, described signal noise ratio problem cause picture or data performance unacceptable.Many present stages, the F-type connector of technology relied on close contact between F type public connector interface and F type female connectors interface.If because of some reasons, to allow attachment unit interface from (as when the public coupler of loose F type) drawn apart from one another, then can produce interface " gap ".If without other protection, this gap can be the point that above-mentioned RF enters.
As mentioned above, coupler is usually made rotatably to fix around the head of tubular post.The head of tubular post generally includes the shoulder of amplification, and coupler generally includes the flange to interior orientation, and described flange is used for extending above the shoulder of tubular post and around the shoulder of tubular post.For not disturbing rotating freely of coupler, the outer dia of shoulder (the head place in tubular post) is usually fabricated to the size of the inside diameter of the centre bore being less than coupler by the manufacturer of this type of F-type connector.Similarly, the inside diameter of the flange to interior orientation of coupler is usually fabricated to the size of the outer dia of the non-shoulder segments being greater than tubular post by manufacturer, again to avoid interference the rotation of coupler relative to tubular post.In loose connected system, wherein the coupler of coaxial connector is not inserted into electrical equipment opening connector tightly, interleaved ground path may produce because of the contact between coupler and tubular post by accident, if especially not by coupler centering and like this when not making coupler axially aim at tubular post above tubular post.But this alternative grounding path is unstable, and this interleaved ground path can be interrupted due to vibration, the movement of electrical equipment, the movement of cable etc.
Or, if form outer main body by electric conducting material, then there is the certain situation that interleaved ground path is provided by the brought into incidental contact between coupler and the outer main body of coaxial connector.Be unstable like this interleaved ground class of paths, and can be interrupted by the relative movement (or by vibrating) between electrical equipment and cable.In addition, if with the outer main body of non-conducting material structure coaxial connector, then this interleaved ground path does not exist completely.This type of unstable grounding path can cause intermittent fault, diagnoses described intermittent fault cost intensive and expends time in.
Coaxial cable connector has been attempted solving the problems referred to above by making continuity Zu Jian Merger enter in coaxial cable connector as independent assembly.At this on the one hand, Fig. 1 illustrates the connector 1000 in prior art, and described connector 1000 has coupler 2000, independent post 3000, independent continuity assembly 4000 and main body 5000.In connector 1000, between post 3000 and main body 5000, catch independent continuity assembly 4000, and described independent continuity assembly 4000 contacts coupler 2000 at least partially.Coupler 2000 is preferably made by the metal of such as brass and is electroplate with the electric conducting material as nickel.Post 3000 is preferably made by the metal of such as brass and is electroplate with the electric conducting material as tin.Independent continuity assembly 4000 is preferably made by the metal of such as phosphor bronze and is electroplate with the electric conducting material as tin.Main body 5000 is preferably made by the metal of such as brass and is electroplate with the electric conducting material as nickel.
