Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of optical fiber connectors, and more particularly to a rotatable optical fiber connector end face detection device. Background Art

[0002] Fiber optic connectors are devices that are used to make detachable connections between optical fibers. They precisely connect the two end faces of the optical fiber so that the light energy output by the transmitting optical fiber can be coupled into the optical fiber to the maximum extent and the impact on the system caused by its involvement in the optical link is minimized. To a certain extent, fiber optic connectors will also affect the reliability and various performances of the optical transmission system. Therefore, before docking, the end faces of the fiber optic connectors are usually inspected for scratches and dirt to meet the basic requirements of the optical path system and reduce the errors caused by fiber docking. Usually, the end faces of the fiber optic connectors are inspected for scratches and dirt by using a fiber optic connector end face inspection device.

[0003] Current fiber optic connector end face detection devices usually use a straight head type, which can only be applied to a single scenario and cannot be used to detect fiber optic connectors in cabinets of various heights and depths. Summary of the invention

[0022] As Figure 1As shown in the figure, the rotatable end-face detection device for optical fiber connectors proposed in the embodiment of the present invention includes a first main body 1, a second main body 2, and a locking mechanism. The first main body 1 is for holding by hand, and the second main body 2 is provided with an interface and a lens. The first main body 1 and the second main body 2 are rotatably connected, and the first main body and the second main body are locked and opened through the locking mechanism. Since the specifications of each cabinet are different, when it is necessary to detect optical fiber connectors within different specifications, the first main body and the second main body are opened through the locking mechanism, so that the first main body and the second main body can rotate relative to each other. After rotating to an appropriate angle, the first main body and the second main body are locked through the locking mechanism, so that the first main body and the second main body are fixed and then detected, thereby realizing the detection of optical fiber connectors in cabinets with various heights and depths, being applicable to different application scenarios, and having a wide application range.

[0023] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown in the figure, the first main body 1 is provided with a through hole 11, and the second main body 2 is provided with a cylinder 21. The cylinder 21 is placed in the through hole 11 so that the first main body 1 and the second main body 2 can rotate relative to each other. The through hole 11 is located on the right side of the first main body 1, and the cylinder 21 is provided on the right side of the second main body 2; similarly, a through hole is provided on the left side of the first main body 1, and a cylinder is provided on the left side of the second main body 2, and the cylinder cooperates with the through hole.

[0024] The cylinder 21 is provided with a mounting hole 22 and mounting grooves 23. The mounting grooves 23 are a pair, and this pair of mounting grooves 23 are arranged along the radial direction of the mounting hole 22, and the mounting grooves 23 communicate with the mounting hole 22. Two groups of card slots are provided on the through hole 11, and an included angle is provided between the two groups of card slots. Each group of card slots has two card slots, and the two card slots in each group of card slots are arranged along the radial direction of the through hole 11. These two groups of card slots are the first group of card slots 12 and the second group of card slots 13. Three groups of card slots, four groups of card slots or more groups of card slots can also be provided on the through hole 11, which are set according to the required rotation angle.

[0025] The locking mechanism includes a limit plate 3, an elastic member 4, and a button. The button includes a body 51 and a latch 52 provided on the body. The latches 52 are a pair and are arranged along the radial direction of the body 51. The limit plate 3 is fixed on the first main body 1 by screws. The elastic member 4 is placed in the mounting hole 22 and contacts the body 51. The body 51 passes through the limit plate 3 so that the body 51 is exposed. The latches 52 are placed in the mounting grooves 23 and can enter each group of card slots or disengage from each group of card slots under the action of the elastic member 4. When the latches 52 enter each group of card slots, the first main body and the second main body are fixed. When the latches 52 disengage from each group of card slots, the first main body and the second main body can rotate relative to each other. One latch corresponds to one mounting groove and one card slot.

[0026] In this embodiment, the elastic member 4 is a spring. A positioning post 24 is provided in the mounting hole 22. One end of the spring is sleeved on the positioning post 24 to prevent the spring from moving within the mounting hole, and the other end of the spring is inserted into the main body 51.

[0027] As Figure 1 and Figure 4 shown, in the initial state, under the elastic force of the spring, the spring pushes the main body of the button outwards, and under the action of the limiting plate that limits the two clamping blocks, the two clamping blocks are exactly located within one set of clamping grooves and the mounting groove. At this time, the first main body 1 and the second main body 2 are fixed, and the second main body 2 cannot rotate; when the main body of the button is pressed inwards, the two clamping blocks of the button disengage from the clamping grooves, and the two clamping blocks of the button will completely enter the two mounting grooves. At this time, the second main body 2 can rotate. After rotating to an appropriate angle, release the main body of the button. Under the action of the spring, the two clamping blocks of the button will enter another set of clamping grooves to fix the first main body 1 and the second main body 2 again, thereby realizing the fixation of the angle.

[0028] As Figure 2 shown, a display screen 6 is provided on the first main body 1. During detection, the end face image of the optical fiber connector obtained will be displayed on the display screen 6.

[0029] A battery 7 is provided inside the first main body 1, and the battery 7 is detachably installed inside the first main body 1.
