AI Technical Summary
Existing optical connectors are prone to contamination in harsh environments, leading to increased optical loss. They also require manual installation of dust caps, which are easily forgotten, resulting in the failure of the optical cable.
An automatic dustproof multi-core connector is designed, including first and second connector ends, each with a dustproof component and a fixing component. Automatic dustproofing is achieved through threaded connection. The dustproof cap is automatically opened and closed using a dustproof cap drive and spring mechanism. Combined with the inner liner component and fixing component, it ensures that the optical fiber core is not easily exposed.
It effectively reduces the time that the fiber core is exposed to air, achieves good dust prevention, reduces optical cable loss, improves fiber splicing efficiency, shortens the construction cycle, and reduces the probability of fiber contamination.
