Connector and optical fiber connecting assembly

Abstract

The invention discloses a connector and an optical fiber connecting assembly, and relates to the field of optical fiber communication. The connector comprises a connector main body, a buckle assembly,an elastic piece and an unlocking ring, wherein the connector main body comprises an insertion part, and two opposite sides of the insertion part are respectively provided with a positioning buckle;the buckle assembly comprises two elastic cantilevers which are fixed to the root of the insertion part and located on the other two opposite sides of the insertion part, and each elastic cantilever is sequentially provided with an unlocking buckle and a locking buckle used for being connected with a matched adapter in a clamped mode in the insertion direction; the elastic piece is arranged at theroot of the insertion part; the unlocking ring is arranged on the insertion part in a sleeving mode, one end of the unlocking ring abuts against the elastic piece, the other end of the unlocking ringabuts against the positioning buckle, the unlocking ring can move in the axial direction of the insertion part, and when the unlocking ring moves towards the root of the insertion part, the two elastic cantilevers can be extruded to get close to the insertion part. The connector provided by the invention is simple and convenient to operate and can realize high-density arrangement of pre-connectedproducts.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of optical fiber communication, in particular to a connector and an optical fiber connection assembly. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of the communication industry, signal connectors such as optical connectors and electrical connectors have been widely used. Among them, signal connectors such as MPO connectors and MTP connectors are used as standard connectors. Due to their small size and easy operation, they are used in a considerable amount. [0003] The structures of the above-mentioned MPO and MTP connector assemblies have a common feature, that is, the locking mechanisms of the two are the same, both of which are push-pull locking mechanisms. The connecting cap assembled on the plug shell is the key part. During the mating process, the plug and the socket are firstly inserted into each other. Before the plug is in place, the connecting cap is always in a blocked state. When it is in pl...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0006] At present, there are waterproof fiber optic connectors and adapters on the market. Most of the locking methods used are screw-type, and the screw-type locking method needs to reserve fingers around the connector and adapter due to its own characteristics. Operating space, under the limited installation space, especially in the case of high density requirements, the operation is very difficult
