Embodiment Construction

[0018] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0019] As shown in the drawings, a novel dual-path optical fiber rotary connector of the present invention includes a stator housing, a rotor sleeve 17, a rotating shaft, a central channel and a side shaft channel. The stator housing consists of a stator sleeve 18 and an end The cover 24 is composed of three screw holes 25 evenly distributed on the end surface of the stator sleeve and fixed on the stator sleeve 18 by bolts.

[0020] The central channel is composed of a central incident light collimation system 2, a mirror 4, and a central channel receiving collimator 3. The optical axis of the central incident collimator 2 is coaxial with the rotation axis, and the central channel receives the collimator The optical axis of the device 3 is perpendicular to the rotation axis;

[0021] The paraxial channel is composed of a paraxial incident light collimating system 1, a c...

Abstract

The invention discloses a novel double-path optical fiber rotary connector which comprises a central passage and a paraxial passage, wherein a central incident light collimation system arranged on a rotating shaft reflects onto a central passage receiving collimator perpendicular to the rotating shaft through a 45-degree reflector, and signal aligned coupling of the central passage is achieved. A paraxial incident light collimation system arranged on the rotating shaft emits parallel light, the parallel light passes through a convex lens and a concave lens which are coaxial with the rotary connector and then enters a paraxial receiver, and rotary continuous transmission of paraxial light signals is ensured by aid of the axial symmetry property of the lenses. The space between the convex lens and the concave lens is determined by the paraxial receiver which can be a collimator or a large-core-diameter optical fiber. The central incident light collimation system, the paraxial incident light collimation system and a rotor sleeve form a rotor part, the other parts form a stator part, and the 45-degree reflector and a stator are kept relative static through pair coupling of a magnet. The novel double-path optical fiber rotary connector has the advantages of being simple in structure, small in inserting loss, high in coupling accuracy and stable and reliable in performance.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of optical fiber communication, especially relates to the field of large-capacity and high-speed signal transmission, and is mainly applied to the occasions where there are two-channel optical signal rotation coupling transmission between relative rotating devices.
