Abstract

A coaxial cable connector structure including a sleeve and an annular nut on the front end of the sleeve is disclosed, wherein an inner tube is disposed inside the sleeve for connecting the coaxial cable, and a spring is disposed on the bottom of the annular nut for the end surface of the connection base towards the annular nut to contact the spring and electrically connect the inner tube when the connection base is screwed into the annular nut, so that the coaxial cable connector structure can transmit signals when it is not completely screwed onto the connection base, and provide the effect of vibration suppression from the compressed spring having its two ends abutted against the bottom of the annular nut and the end surface of the connection base by the elastic restoring force when the connection base is completely screwed onto the connection base.

Claims (17)

1. A coaxial cable connector structure including a sleeve and an annular nut disposed on the front end of the sleeve, and an inner tube disposed inside the sleeve for connecting the coaxial cable, the annular nut having an inner thread on its inner surface for combining with a connection base having an outer thread, characterized in that a coil spring is disposed on the bottom of the annular nut for the end surface of the connection base towards the annular nut to contact the spring and electrically connect the inner tube when the connection base is partially screwed into the inner thread of the annular nut, and when the connection base is fully screwed into the inner thread of the annular nut the end surface of the connection base will contact the inner tube and the coil spring.

2. The coaxial cable connector structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a flange part is disposed on the front end of the inner tube for engaging the bottom of the annular nut, and a gap is formed between the flange part and the annular nut for receiving the spring inside.

3. The coaxial cable connector structure as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the flange part has an indentation thereon for receiving an O-ring within it.

4. The coaxial cable connector structure as claimed in claim 2 , wherein one end of the coil spring is fixed on the bottom of the annular nut.

5. The coaxial cable connector structure as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the coil spring is engaged on the inner thread of the annular nut.

6. The coaxial cable connector structure as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the outer diameter of the coil spring is smaller than or equal to the inner diameter of the annular nut.

7. The coaxial cable connector structure as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the coil spring is a metal coil spring with electric conductivity.

8. The coaxial cable connector structure as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the thickness of the flange part is greater than or equal to the height of the coil spring after being compressed.

9. The coaxial cable connector structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a flange part is disposed on the front end of the inner tube for fixing the bottom of the annular nut, and a groove is disposed on the flange part for receiving the coil spring.

10. The coaxial cable connector structure as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the coil spring is a metal spring with electric conductivity.

11. The coaxial cable connector structure as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the depth of the groove is greater than or equal to the height of the coil spring after being compressed.

12. A coaxial cable connector structure including a sleeve and an annular nut disposed on the front end of the sleeve, and an inner tube disposed inside the sleeve for connecting the coaxial cable, the annular nut having an inner thread on its inner surface for combining with a connection base having an outer thread, the inner tube having a front end with a front surface toward the connection base and wherein the front end of the inner tube has an outer surface of a diameter less than the diameter of the inner thread of the annular nut such that a gap is formed between the outer surface of the front end of the inner tube and the inner threads of the annular nut, a coil spring having a rearward end and a forward end, the rearward end of the coil spring having one or more windings that frictionally engage the outer surface of the front end of the inner tube such that the rearward end of the spring is disposed within the gap and the forward end of the coil spring extends forward of the front surface of the front end of the inner tube for the end surface of the connection base towards the annular nut to contact and electrically connect the inner tube when the connection base is partially screwed into the inner thread of the annular nut, and when the connection base is fully screwed into the inner thread of the annular nut the end surface of the connection base will contact the front surface of the front end of the inner tube, and the coil spring will remain in contact with the end surface of the connection base and the outer surface of the inner tube.

13. The coaxial cable connector structure of claim 12 , wherein the rearward end of the coil spring is fixed on the bottom of the annular nut.

14. The coaxial cable connector structure of claim 12 , wherein the spring engages the inner thread of the annual nut.

15. The coaxial cable connector structure of claim 12 , further comprising a groove formed on the front end of the inner tube for receiving the rearward end of the spring.

16. The coaxial cable connector structure of claim 12 , wherein the entire spring is disposed within the gap when the connection base is fully screwed into the inner thread of the annular nut.

17. The coaxial cable connector structure of claim 12 , wherein the annular nut further comprises a bottom end and the rearward end of the spring engages the bottom end of the nut to dampen vibration of the annular nut.
