Optical fiber splicing component and optical fiber connector with same

Abstract

Disclosed is an optical fiber splicing assembly, comprising: an optical - fiber- splicing support base (1) including a first end and a second end in a longitudinal direction, an optical fiber (61) to be spliced being introduced into the optical fiber splicing assembly from the second end, wherein the optical - fiber- splicing support base further includes a receiving groove provided between the first end and the second end, wherein a recess is provided in the bottom of the receiving groove, and the introduced optical fiber to be spliced is received in the recess; and the optical fiber splicing assembly further comprises an optical fiber locating assembly fitted onto the optical - fiber- splicing support base, the optical fiber locating assembly having a press portion (2) fitted within the receiving groove to press the optical fiber to be spliced and a fixing portion (3), wherein the press portion is movable between a press position at which the optical fiber is pressed and a release position at which the optical fiber is not pressed, and the fixing portion is adapted to releasably fix the press portion at the press position. The present invention also relates to a fiber optic connector having the optical fiber splicing assembly.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an optical fiber connection, in particular to an optical fiber splicing assembly capable of realizing rapid on-site connection of optical fibers and an optical fiber connector comprising the optical fiber splicing assembly. Background technique [0002] Optical fiber connectors are essential components in optical fiber communication systems. Due to the gradual fiberization of local communication networks, especially in order to meet the needs of optical fiber access networks and fiber-to-the-home (FTTH), the demand for optical fiber connectors is also rising, and assembly and grinding production in factories alone can no longer meet the needs, and Its cost is also high, so the assembly of connectors is moving from the factory to the installation engineering site, and there is an increasing demand for quick and easy field-assembled fiber optic connectors. [0003] Connectors suitable for field installation must save time, effor...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

For example, the optical fiber connector disclosed in the Chinese patent application No. 200910050536.3 has the above characteristics. However, the optical fiber connector has a disadvantage that it cannot be reused

That is to say, after the optical fiber is connected, the assembly parts are fixed to each other, and cannot be completely disassembled and reused without destroying the assembly part or the optical fiber.

[0004] The difficulty of optical fiber connectors lies in the precise matching of optical fibers. If the matching is not good, it will cause great attenuation and internal reflection, which will affect the performance of the connector

In order to make the precise matching of optical fibers, it is often necessary to ensure the precise matching of many components, and many existing optical fiber connectors also require special tools for installation and disassembly, resulting in relatively high production costs

In addition, many existing optical fiber connectors have low reliability, cumbersome assembly steps, and often require skilled technical workers to operate to meet the performance index requirements, and the connection failure rate is relatively high.
