In an embodiment, in order to increase the connection firmness between the vertical section 106 and the lateral section 107 and avoid the breakage of the connection between the vertical section 106 and the lateral section 107 due to the bending of the optical fiber, the included angle between the vertical section 106 and the lateral section 107 is rounded.

[0042] In an embodiment, in order to ensure the strength of the lateral section 107 wrapping the optical fiber and avoid the breakage of the lateral section 107 during the fixing of the optical fiber, the width of the lateral section 107 is not less than 3 mm.

[0043] In an embodiment, in order to avoid the bending of the vertical section 106 during the curling of the lateral section 107 and cause the spacing problem between the optical fiber and the vertical section 106, the width of the vertical section 106 is less than the width of the optical fiber.

[0047] Please refer to Figures 3 to 6 , Figure 3 for a structural schematic view of the structure of the connecting section between the plate body and the optical fibers in the embodiment; Figure 4 for Figure 3 a structural schematic view of the structure of the connecting section between the plate body and the optical fibers in another angle; Figure 5 for a structural schematic view of the structure of the connecting section between the plate body and the optical fibers in another embodiment;

[0048] Figure 6 for Figure 5 a structural schematic view of the structure of the connecting section between the plate body and the optical fibers in another angle.

[0049] The embodiment provides a substrate 201 used for fixing optical fibers, the substrate 201 comprising an upper layer plate 202 and a lower layer plate 203, the upper layer plate 202 and the lower layer plate 203 being arranged in a stack, the optical fibers being arranged between the upper layer plate 202 and the lower layer plate 203, and a part of the optical fibers being exposed outside the upper layer plate 202 and the lower layer plate 203 to form an exposed section. At least one side of the upper layer plate 202 and / or the lower layer plate 203 is provided with a connecting part 205; the connecting part 205 comprises a vertical section 206 and a horizontal section 207, one end of the vertical section 206 being fixedly connected with the horizontal section 207, and the other end being fixedly connected with the upper layer plate 202 or the lower layer plate 203, and the horizontal section 207 being capable of being curled to fix the optical fibers. In the embodiment, the fixed optical fibers are a plurality of single optical fibers combined into an optical fiber row 210. Specifically, the upper layer plate 202 and the lower layer plate 203 each have two ends, one of which is an in-fiber end 211, and the other of which is an out-fiber end 212. The in-fiber end 211 of the upper layer plate 202 and the in-fiber end 211 of the lower layer plate 203 are located on the same side, and the out-fiber end 212 of the upper layer plate 202 and the out-fiber end 212 of the lower layer plate 203 are located on the same side. Specifically, the main body structure of the upper layer plate 202 and the lower layer plate 203 is the same. Specifically, when the upper layer plate 202 and the lower layer plate 203 are both rectangular structures, one of the two opposite long sides is the out-fiber end 212, and the other is the in-fiber end 211. In other embodiments, the upper layer plate 202 and the lower layer plate 203 can both be pentagonal structures, or can be hexagonal structures or other polygonal structures, and the shape of the upper layer plate 202 and the lower layer plate 203 is not limited herein, as long as the upper layer plate 202 and the lower layer plate 203 have the in-fiber end 211 and the out-fiber end 212.

[0050] In an embodiment, the structure, shape and size of the upper layer plate 202 and the lower layer plate 203 can be the same as those of the plate body 101 in the above embodiment. In another embodiment, only one of the upper layer plate 202 and the lower layer plate 203 has the same structure, shape and size as the plate body 101 in the above embodiment, and the other one is not provided with the connecting part 205, but has the same main body structure as the plate body.

[0051] In an embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4The upper layer plate 202 and the lower layer plate 203 are provided with the connecting portions 205 in corresponding positions, and the transverse sections 207 on the upper layer plate 202 and the lower layer plate 203 are matched to form the clamping slots 209 for fixing the row of optical fibers 210. Specifically, the transverse sections 207 on the upper layer plate 202 are curled towards the lower layer plate 203, and the transverse sections 207 on the lower layer plate 203 are curled towards the upper layer plate 202, and then the curled transverse sections 207 are matched to form the clamping slots 209 for fixing the row of optical fibers 210. In order to make the clamping slots 209 more firmly fix the row of optical fibers 210, the lengths of the transverse sections 207 on the upper layer plate 202 and the lower layer plate 203 are not less than half of the circumference of the row of optical fibers 210. That is to say, the transverse sections 207 on the upper layer plate 202 and the transverse sections 207 on the lower layer plate 203 are connected to each other after being curled to form a closed clamping slot 209, the inner wall of the clamping slot 209 can be in contact with the outer wall of the row of optical fibers 210, and then the connection stability is improved.

[0052] In another embodiment, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 only the upper layer plate 202 or the lower layer plate 203 is provided with the connecting portions 205, and the transverse sections 207 on the upper layer plate 202 or the lower layer plate 203 are curled to form the clamping slots 209 for fixing the row of optical fibers 210. Specifically, in order to make the clamping slots 209 more firmly fix the row of optical fibers 210, the lengths of the transverse sections 207 on the upper layer plate 202 or the lower layer plate 203 are not less than the circumference of the row of optical fibers 210.

[0053] In the bending process of the row of optical fibers 210, in order to reduce the difference between the tension and the deformation force of the optical fibers in the middle position and the optical fibers on both sides, the shape of the clamping slot 209 is circular or elliptical, that is, when the row of optical fibers 210 is fixed in the clamping slot 209, the row of optical fibers 210 in the clamping slot 209 forms a cluster. The positions between the optical fibers at the end of the clamping slot 209 away from the upper layer plate 202 or the lower layer plate 203 change, so that when the row of optical fibers 210 is further bent left and right, the tension on the outermost optical fibers is further reduced, and the deformation force on the innermost optical fibers is also further reduced, thereby avoiding the optical fibers being pulled off or broken.

[0054] In an optional embodiment, referring to Figure 7 , Figure 7FIG. 6 is a structural schematic diagram of another embodiment of the substrate and the light emitting fiber connection in the present application. The substrate 201 further comprises at least one middle layer plate 213, which is arranged between the upper layer plate 202 and the lower layer plate 203.

The connecting part 205 arranged on the upper layer plate 202 and / or the lower layer plate 203 can fix all the light emitting fibers 210 between the upper layer plate 202, the middle layer plate 213 and the lower layer plate 203.

[0055] In an embodiment, in order to protect the exposed section of the light emitting fiber 210 from being damaged during production and use, the exposed section of the light emitting fiber 210 is sleeved with a protective sleeve 208. In order to avoid breaking the protective sleeve 208 during the left and right bending of the light emitting fiber 210, the end of the protective sleeve 208 is spaced apart from the upper layer plate 202 and the lower layer plate 203. The transverse section 207 in the upper layer plate 202 and / or the lower layer plate 203 is curled to form the clamping groove 209, and the clamping groove 209 is fixedly connected with the protective sleeve 208.

That is, the upper layer plate 202 or the lower layer plate 203 is fixedly connected with the connecting part 205 through the protrusion. The number of the connecting part 205 is the same as the number of the protrusion.
