Protective casing used for mechanical connector and as tool

Abstract

Disclosed is a mechanical optical fiber connector for connecting optical fibers to one another. The mechanical connector includes: an optical fiber connection base including: a plurality of insertion parts arranged in the longitudinally opposite sides of the optical fiber connection base, each of the insertion parts having an insertion bore at the center thereof, so that an optical cable can be inserted into the insertion bore; and an optical fiber connection part arranged between and integrally formed with the insertion parts and having, at the center thereof, an optical fiber connection slot extending along the longitudinal direction; a base cover member engaged with the optical fiber connection base to cover the optical fiber connection part, the base cover member being adapted to press optical fibers connected within the optical fiber connection slot; and at least one anchoring clamp elastically engaged with the peripheral surfaces of the optical fiber connection base and the base cover member to anchor the base cover member to the optical fiber connection base. In accordance with the present invention, optical fibers can be safely introduced into an optical fiber connection groove formed in the center of the mechanical connector when optical fibers are introduced into the mechanical connector, the connected optical fibers can be clamped without needing a separate instrument, the connected condition of the optical fibers cannot be released easily, and the mechanical connector can be simply and conveniently disassembled and reassembled.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a protective shell for mechanical connectors and tools, especially a protective shell for mechanical connectors and tools that can be used to prevent foreign matter from entering the mechanical connector during optical fiber connection, and make the assembly of the mechanical connector simple and fast. shell. Background technique [0002] Generally speaking, optical communication is a communication method that uses optical fiber to transmit light and exchange information. The information transmitted by existing coaxial optical cable communication is hundreds of times the amount of information transmitted by electrical communication. At the same time, optical cable communication is not affected by external Influenced by radio waves and magnetic fields, its information transmission status is good, and it is widely used in the field of optical communication such as the Internet. [0003] There are many methods for optical f...
