It consists of a tube socket and a tube cap that are precisely aligned and packaged together through power welding. The tube socket is composed of a circular tube socket base and a rectangular chip. The rectangular chip is attached to the circular tube socket base through a placement machine. A lens that can transmit light is provided on the cylindrical tube cap, and a light path refraction prism is provided on the lens so that the light can be refracted at a specified angle when passing through the lens. Therefore, in the alignment packaging of the tube socket and the tube cap of the passive optical switch device, the identification point on the tube socket should be packaged together with the refraction prism on the tube cap lens. That is to say: in the alignment packaging of the tube cap and the tube socket, the packaging orientation of the tube cap and the tube socket should be aligned first, and the outer contour of the tube cap should be aligned with the outer contour of the tube socket. The existing passive optical switch cap and socket alignment packaging technology is completed by manual alignment. Alignment marking points are set on both the socket and the cap. The two markings are manually aligned before packaging. This alignment method has the problems of large manual alignment error, inaccurate alignment and low production efficiency, which cannot meet the requirements of factory automated assembly line production. How to achieve automatic and accurate alignment of the socket and the cap with high precision and realize mass automated production of passive optical switches is a practical problem that needs to be solved on site.

Finally, the tube cap is pressed down and packaged together with the tube socket. The present invention realizes fully automated and accurate alignment of the tube seat and the tube cap by first aligning the orientation of the tube seat and the tube cap and then aligning the outer contours of the two, thereby avoiding the misalignment of the packaging orientation of the tube cap and the tube seat during packaging, and improving the qualified rate and production efficiency of the passive optical switch.
