Cavity filter with resilient member connected between slider and driving device
View Patent ↗A cavity filter includes a slider, a driving device, an adapter and a resilient member. The slider is used to slide relative to and couple with a plurality of resonators located in the cavity filter to change a resonating frequency of the cavity filter. The driving device is used to drive the slider slide relative to the plurality of resonators. The adapter is installed between the slider and the driving device. The resilient member is elastically connected between the slider and the adapter and used to absorb vibrations of the driving device to make the slider move on an even keel.
1. A cavity filter, comprising:
a slider, sliding relative to and coupled with a plurality of resonators located in the cavity filter to change a resonating frequency of the cavity filter;
a driving device, driving the slider to slide relative to the plurality of resonators;
an adapter, installed between the slider and the driving device; and
a resilient member, elastically connected between the slider and the adapter;
wherein when the driving device is powered on, the resilient member absorbs vibrations of the driving device to make the slider move on an even keel.
2. The cavity filter as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the driving device is a step motor.
3. The cavity filter as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the driving device comprises a shaft, the adapter defines an installing hole, the shaft is inserted into the installing hole and fixed to the adapter by a pin passing through the adapter and the shaft with a tight fit.
4. The cavity filter as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the slider defines a through hole, the adapter defines a screw hole opposite to the through hole, a screw passes through the through hole, the resilient member and is screwed into the screw hole, the screw engages with the through hole with a clearance fit.
5. The cavity filter as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the resilient member is a rubber ring coiled around the screw and clamped between the slider and the adapter.
6. The cavity filter as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the resilient member is a compression spring coiled around the screw and clamped between the slider and the adapter.
7. The cavity filter as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the resilient member is a compressible cushion or a spring washer stuck on the adapter to support the slider.
8. The cavity filter as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the adapter defines a receiving groove opened toward the slider, the screw hole is configured on a bottom of the receiving groove, the resilient member is partially received in the receiving groove.
9. A cavity filter, comprising:
a shell, comprising a plurality of positioning portions arranged in two rows opposite to each other;
a plurality of resonators, fixed in the shell and arranged in a row and locked between the two rows of the positioning portions;
a slider, positioned on the plurality of positioning portions, and comprising a plurality of tuning portions located above the plurality of resonators and used to couple to the plurality of resonators to change a resonating frequency of the cavity filter;
a driving device, driving the slider slide relative to the plurality of resonators;
an adapter, installed between the slider and the driving device; and
a resilient member, elastically connected between the slider and the adapter;
wherein when the driving device is powered on, the resilient member absorbs vibrations of the driving device to make the slider move on an even keel.
10. The cavity filter as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the driving device is a step motor.
11. The cavity filter as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the driving device comprises a shaft, the adapter defines an installing hole, the shaft is inserted into the installing hole and fixed to the adapter by a pin passing through the adapter and the shaft with a tight fit.
12. The cavity filter as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the slider defines a through hole, the adapter defines a screw hole opposite to the through hole, a screw passes through the through hole, the resilient member and is screwed into the screw hole, the screw engages with the through hole with a clearance fit.
13. The cavity filter as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the resilient member is a rubber ring coiled around the screw and clamped between the slider and the adapter.
14. The cavity filter as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the resilient member is a compression spring coiled around the screw and clamped between the slider and the adapter.
15. The cavity filter as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the resilient member is a compressible cushion or a spring washer stuck on the adapter to support the slider.
16. The cavity filter as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the adapter defines a receiving groove opened toward the slider, the screw hole is configured on a bottom of the receiving groove, the resilient member is partially received in the receiving groove.
