Abstract

The present invention relates to a fastening structure of signal connector, comprises: a connector main body, which is a round-column shaped member, an insert orifice is provided on a top end of the connector main body and a signal terminal is provided in the connector main body, a middle portion of the connector main body has a combining ring-shaped surface, a positioning slot is provided on the combining ring-shaped surface, a bottom portion of the connector main body is provided with a positioning section; the connector main body is passed through a through hole preset on a base seat of an electronic equipment and the positioning section thereof is connected to a jointing section provided at a bottom end of the through hole; and a latching ring, an arched connecting sheet is provided between a top ring member and a bottom ring member for connection, and the latching ring is sleeved on the combining ring-shaped surface via the top end of the connector main body, so the bottom end of the bottom ring member is against the base seat and the connecting sheet is positioned in the positioning slot; when the top ring member is punched and downwardly moved, the connecting sheet is compressed and deformed and is latched in the positioning slot, so the connector main body is stably and tightly fastened on the base seat.

Claims

1. A fastening structure of signal connector, comprises:

a connector main body, which is a round-column shaped member, an insert orifice is provided on a top end of the connector main body, a middle portion of the connector main body has a combining ring-shaped surface, a positioning slot is provided on the combining ring-shaped surface, a bottom portion of the connector main body is provided with a positioning section;

the connector main body is passed through a through hole preset on a base seat of an electronic equipment and the positioning section thereof is connected to a jointing section provided at a bottom end of the through hole; and

a latching ring, an arched connecting sheet is provided between a top ring member and a bottom ring member for connection, and the latching ring is sleeved on the combining ring-shaped surface via the top end of the connector main body, so the bottom end of the bottom ring member is against the base seat and the connecting sheet is positioned in the positioning slot;

when the top ring member is punched and downwardly moved, the connecting sheet is compressed and deformed and is latched in the positioning slot, so the connector main body is stably and tightly fastened on the base seat.

2. The fastening structure of signal connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein a top portion of the connector main body has a thread section.

3. The fastening structure of signal connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein the combining ring-shaped surface is in a stepped shape, so a flange having a larger diameter is obtained, and the positioning slot is provided below the flange;

and the inner diameter of the top ring member of the latching ring is smaller than the outer diameter of the flange.

4. The fastening structure of signal connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein a tilt surface is formed on the periphery of the top end of the top ring member.

5. The fastening structure of signal connector as claimed in claim 3, wherein a tilt surface is formed on the periphery of the top end of the top ring member.

6. The fastening structure of signal connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein the positioning section is a block member having a geometric shape, and the jointing section is a rib member having a shape corresponding to the shape of the positioning slot.

7. The fastening structure of signal connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein the electronic equipment is a coaxial cable distributor, or a multitap, or a splitter, or a signal amplifier, or a direction coupler module.

8. A fastening structure of signal connector, comprises:

a connector main body, which is a round-column shaped member, two ends thereof are respectively provided with an insert orifice and respectively provided with a signal terminal in the connector main body, a top portion of the connector main body has a thread section, a middle portion of the connector main body has a combining ring-shaped surface, and a positioning slot is provided on the combining ring-shaped surface, a positioning section and an extended second thread section are in sequence provided below the positioning slot;

the connector main body is passed through a through hole preset on a base seat of an electronic equipment and the positioning section is against the base seat; and

a latching ring, an arched connecting sheet is provided between a top ring member and a bottom ring member for connection, and the latching ring is sleeved on the combining ring-shaped surface via the top end of the connector main body, so the bottom end of the bottom ring member is against the base seat and the connecting sheet is positioned in the positioning slot;

when the top ring member is punched and downwardly moved, the connecting sheet is compressed and deformed and is latched in the positioning slot, so the connector main body is stably and tightly fastened on the base seat.

9. The fastening structure of signal connector as claimed in claim 8, wherein the combining ring-shaped surface is in a stepped shape, so a flange having a larger diameter is obtained, and the positioning slot is provided below the flange;

and the inner diameter of the top ring member of the latching ring is smaller than the outer diameter of the flange.

10. The fastening structure of signal connector as claimed in claim 8, wherein a tilt surface is formed on the periphery of the top end of the top ring member.

11. The fastening structure of signal connector as claimed in claim 9, wherein a tilt surface is formed on the periphery of the top end of the top ring member.

12. The fastening structure of signal connector as claimed in claim 8, wherein the positioning section is a block member having a geometric shape.

13. The fastening structure of signal connector as claimed in claim 8, wherein the electronic equipment is a grounding module.
