The transmitter assembly provided in this embodiment of the invention includes not only the transmitter element itself, but also a first housing unit and a first packaging unit. The distance between the transmitter element and the receiver element can be controlled by the height of the first housing unit and the depth of the first groove. The first housing unit, the first packaging unit, and the transmitter element together constitute an independent device. The first housing unit and the first packaging unit can fix and protect the transmitter element, improving the reliability, airtightness, and lifespan of the transmitter. At the same time, the first housing unit, the first packaging unit, and the transmitter element together constitute an independent device, which also facilitates adaptation, installation, and replacement with the receiver assembly. The first housing unit has a shape that matches the interior of the second housing unit in the receiver assembly, which facilitates the installation of the transmitter assembly in the second groove of the receiver assembly. The second housing unit of the receiver assembly further protects the transmitter assembly and prevents light leakage, while also making the structure of the optocoupler more stable and reliable.
[0039] Furthermore, the first groove is cylindrical or conical, and the first bottom end and the first opening end of the first groove are parallel planes.
