Coaxial connector with quick locking and separating mechanism

A coaxial connector assembly with a quick locking and separating mechanism, comprising:

• a first connector and a second connector, a locking flange being arranged at one end portion of the second connector;
• and
• a quick locking and separating mechanism for quickly connecting and separating the first connector and the second connector;
• wherein the quick locking and separating mechanism comprises:
• a locking member fixedly arranged on a first end portion of the first connector and provided with a depression for accommodating the locking flange of the second connector;
• and
• a sliding sleeve arranged around the first connector and being slidable between a locking position in which the sliding sleeve locks the locking flange of the second connector in the depression of the locking member so as to connect the first connector and the second connector and an unlocking position in which the sliding sleeve allows the locking flange of the second connector to disengage from the depression of the locking member so as to allow the first connector to be separated from the second connector;
• wherein the locking member is a closed locking ring comprising,
• a first connecting portion fixedly arranged on the first end portion of the first connector;
• a radial extension extending radially outwardly from an end portion of the first connecting portion;
• and
• at least one elastic claw extending from the radial extension along an axial direction parallel to the first connector and forming, together with the radial extension, the depression for accommodating the locking flange of the second connector, an end portion of the elastic claw distal from the radial extension being provided with a radial locking portion extending radially inwardly and outwardly;
• wherein, at the locking position of the sliding sleeve, the radial locking portion of the elastic claw abuts a projection arranged on an inner circumferential surface of the sliding sleeve, so as to prevent the elastic claw from elastically deforming radially outwardly and to lock the locking flange of the second connector in the depression so as to connect the first connector and the second connector;
• and
• wherein, at the unlocking position of the sliding sleeve, the projection on the inner circumferential surface of the sliding sleeve does not abut the radial locking portion of the elastic claw, so as to allow the elastic claw to elastically deform radially outwardly and to allow the locking flange of the second connector to disengage from the depression so as to allow the first connector to be separated from the second connector.
