DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described more fully below with reference to the relevant drawings. Preferred embodiments of the present invention are provided in the drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the understanding of the disclosure of the present invention more thorough and comprehensive.

[0043] This embodiment provides a medical optical fiber ferrule 10, such as Figures 1 to 5As shown, the medical fiber optic ferrule 10 includes a ferrule head 11 and a ferrule base 12 detachably connected to the ferrule head 11, the ferrule head 11 has a first fiber optic jack 111 for the medical optical fiber to pass through, the ferrule base 12 has a second fiber optic jack 122 for the medical optical fiber to pass through and a ferrule jack 121 communicating with the second fiber optic jack 122, one end of the ferrule head 11 is inserted into the ferrule jack 121 and the insertion depth of the ferrule head 11 is adjustable, and the central axis of the first fiber optic jack 111 coincides with the central axis of the second fiber optic jack 122.

[0044] The above-mentioned medical fiber optic ferrule 10 makes the ferrule head 11 and the ferrule base 12 detachably connected, one end of the ferrule head 11 is inserted into the ferrule socket 121 and the insertion depth of the ferrule head 11 is adjustable. Therefore, a medical fiber optic connector using the medical fiber optic ferrule 10 can retract the end face of the medical optical fiber into the first fiber optic socket 111 by a preset distance by adjusting the insertion depth of the ferrule head 11 in the ferrule socket 121, effectively preventing the end face of the medical optical fiber from being damaged due to collision during the use of the medical fiber optic connector, thereby protecting the end face of the medical optical fiber.

[0045] In some embodiments, an external thread 112 is provided on the outer wall of the insertion end of the ferrule head 11 (eg, Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the inner wall of the ferrule socket 121 is provided with an internal thread that can cooperate with the external thread 112. After the ferrule head 11 is inserted into the ferrule socket 121, the external thread 112 and the internal thread cooperate with each other to achieve a detachable connection with the ferrule base 12. The operator can easily adjust the insertion depth of the ferrule head 11 in the ferrule socket 121 by rotating the ferrule head 11, thereby controlling the distance between the end face of the medical optical fiber and the end face of the ferrule head 11.

[0046] Furthermore, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a first positioning mark 113 is provided on the outer wall of the ferrule head 11, and a second positioning mark 123 and a third positioning mark 124 are provided on the outer wall of the ferrule base 12. The third positioning mark 124 and the second positioning mark 123 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the ferrule base 12. The operator can quickly and accurately adjust the insertion depth of the ferrule head 11 in the ferrule socket 121 by controlling the first positioning mark 113 and the second positioning mark 123 or the third positioning mark 124 to be on the same straight line.

[0047] Specifically, the third positioning mark 124 and the second positioning mark 123 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the ferrule base 12. When the ferrule head 11 is inserted into the ferrule socket 121 and then rotated until the first positioning mark 113 and the second positioning mark 123 are located on the same straight line, the insertion depth of the ferrule head 11 is H1; when the ferrule head 11 is inserted into the ferrule socket 121 and then rotated until the first positioning mark 113 and the third positioning mark 124 are located on the same straight line, the insertion depth of the ferrule head 11 is H2, and H2 is less than H1. The operator can easily determine the current insertion depth of the ferrule head 11 according to the status of the first positioning mark 113 and the second positioning mark 123 or the third positioning mark 124.

[0048] Optionally, the first positioning mark 113, the second positioning mark 123 and the third positioning mark 124 can be groove structures. Of course, the first positioning mark 113, the second positioning mark 123 and the third positioning mark 124 can also be other forms of marks, such as convex structures, as long as it is convenient for operators to control and judge the insertion depth of the ferrule head 11.

[0049] In other embodiments, the insertion depth of the ferrule head 11 in the ferrule socket 121 can also be adjusted in the following way: the ferrule head 11 includes a main body and an insertion portion connected to the main body and capable of being inserted into the ferrule socket 121, the outer diameter of the main body is larger than the aperture of the ferrule socket 121, the medical fiber optic ferrule 10 also includes an adjusting gasket, and the adjusting gasket can be sleeved on the outer periphery of the insertion portion, so that the insertion depth of the ferrule head 11 in the ferrule socket 121 can be adjusted by adding the adjusting gasket sleeved on the outer periphery of the insertion portion, and adjusting gaskets of different thicknesses correspond to different insertion depths.

[0050] Alternatively, the ferrule head 11 includes a main body and an insertion portion connected to the main body and capable of being inserted into the ferrule socket 121. A flange is provided at the connection between the insertion portion and the main body. The outer diameter of the flange is larger than the aperture of the ferrule socket 121. The medical fiber optic ferrule 10 also includes an adjusting gasket, which can be sleeved on the outer periphery of the insertion portion. By adding the adjusting gasket sleeved on the outer periphery of the insertion portion, the insertion depth of the ferrule head 11 in the ferrule socket 121 can be adjusted. Adjustment gaskets of different thicknesses correspond to different insertion depths.

[0051] Figures 1 to 5The method of using the medical fiber optic ferrule 10 is as follows: first, thread the ferrule head 11 and the ferrule base 12 together, so that the first positioning mark 113 and the second positioning mark 123 are aligned (that is, the first positioning mark 113 and the second positioning mark 123 are located on the same straight line); then, the medical optical fiber passes through the fastener 20, the ferrule base 12 and the ferrule head 11 in sequence, adjust the length of the medical optical fiber extending out of the ferrule head 11, and fix the medical optical fiber to the ferrule base 12 through the fastener; then, grind the end face of the medical optical fiber, that is, grind the installed medical optical fiber multiple times until the desired end face effect of the medical optical fiber is achieved, and this At this time, the end face of the medical optical fiber is flush with the end face of the ferrule head 11; finally, the ferrule head 11 and the ferrule base 12 are loosened, and thread glue is applied to the external thread 112 of the ferrule head 11, and the ferrule head 11 is threadedly connected to the ferrule base 12 again, and the first positioning mark 113 and the third positioning mark 124 are aligned (that is, the first positioning mark 113 and the third positioning mark 124 are located on the same straight line), and it is left to stand for a while until the thread glue solidifies, and the installation of the medical optical fiber is completed. At this time, the end face of the medical optical fiber is retracted into the ferrule head 11 by a preset distance, that is, the end face of the medical optical fiber is at a set safety distance (for example, 0.1mm) to the end face of the ferrule head 11.

[0052] In summary, the insertion depth of the ferrule head 11 of the medical optical fiber ferrule 10 of the present invention in the ferrule socket 121 of the ferrule base 12 is adjustable, so that the medical optical fiber connector using this medical optical fiber ferrule 10 can control the distance between its medical optical fiber end face and the end face of the ferrule head 11, so that the medical optical fiber end face is retracted a certain distance in the first optical fiber socket 111 of the ferrule head 11, effectively preventing the occurrence of collision during the use of the medical optical fiber connector, resulting in damage to the medical optical fiber end face, thereby extending the service life of the entire medical optical fiber connector.
