Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of optical communication device manufacturing, and specifically to a power supply clamping device. Background Technology

[0002] The manufacturing process of active devices includes processes such as optical coupling, temperature cycling, and lens coupling. In the coupling process, it is necessary to supply power to the active devices.

[0003] In related technologies, for general devices, flexible tape is soldered onto ceramic pads and connected to an external connector for power supply. For high-speed devices, power is supplied directly by wire bonding onto the ceramic pads to avoid the losses caused by flexible tape. Therefore, the manufacturing process of high-speed devices includes wire bonding, optical coupling, wire removal, temperature cycling, wire bonding again, lens coupling, and wire removal. In other words, the manufacturing process of high-speed devices adds repeated wire bonding and removal processes. This not only increases the difficulty and cost of device manufacturing and reduces production efficiency, but also affects the aesthetics of the device and may even damage the ceramic pads. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0066] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this disclosure clearer, the specific technical solutions of the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this disclosure. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this disclosure, but are not intended to limit the scope of this disclosure.

[0067] Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional structural schematic of a power supply clamping device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1 ,like Figure 1 As shown, the power supply clamping device 100 includes:

[0068] The probe assembly 101 includes a printed circuit board 1011 and a probe 1012, wherein a first end of the probe 1012 is fixedly connected to the printed circuit board 1011.

[0069] The fixing component 102 is located on one side of the printed circuit board 1011 and is fixedly connected to the printed circuit board 1011;

[0070] The base 103, located on the side of the fixing component 102 facing away from the printed circuit board 1011, includes: a mounting groove 1031 for mounting at least a portion of the fixing component 102;

[0071] The clamping assembly 104 is located on the same side of the base 103 as the fixing assembly 102, and is fixedly connected to the base 103 for positioning and clamping the device to be powered 105.

[0072] The device to be powered 105 is fixedly connected to the clamping assembly 104 and includes a pad 1051. When the pad 1051 contacts the second end of the probe 1012 and the printed circuit board 1011 is connected to an external power supply, the external power supply supplies power to the pad 1051.

[0073] The power supply clamping device provided in this embodiment can be applied to any process that requires powering a device. That is, the power supply clamping device can be applied to any production equipment involved in a process requiring power supply. For example, the power supply clamping device can be applied to an optical coupling device; another example is that it can be applied to a lens coupling device. The production equipment may include a positioning part. By installing the power supply clamping device on the positioning part, the power supply clamping device can be applied to the production equipment and achieve the function of powering the device to be powered.

[0074] In some embodiments, the power supply clamping device can be applied to any step in the manufacturing process. That is, even if the device to be powered does not need to be powered in the step, the power supply clamping device can be used to position and clamp the device to be powered, thereby further avoiding repeated disassembly of the device to be powered and simplifying the manufacturing process.

[0075] Here, the device to be powered can be an active device, a passive device, or any type of device in the optical communication device manufacturing process. Among them, active devices are electronic components that require power to realize their specific functions, and can include: optical receivers (ROSAs), optical transmitters (ROSAs), etc.

[0076] In some embodiments, the power supply clamping device may include a probe assembly, which may include a printed circuit board and a probe, with a first end of the probe fixedly connected to the printed circuit board. The probe may be made of a conductive material; moreover, it may be made of a material suitable for probing soft materials, so that the probe will not damage the pads when in contact with them. For example, the probe may be made of tungsten and plated with gold; another example is that the probe may be made of beryllium copper.

[0077] Here, the power supply clamping device may include a fixing component located on one side of the printed circuit board and fixedly connected to the printed circuit board. In some embodiments, different connection methods can be selected depending on the materials of the fixing component and the printed circuit board. For example, when the fixing component and the printed circuit board are made of metal, they can be fixedly connected by threaded connection and soldering connection. In other embodiments, the fixing component and the printed circuit board can be fixedly connected by providing fixing connectors on the fixing component and the printed circuit board. For example, fixing connection holes can be provided on the fixing component, and fixing connection posts can be provided on the printed circuit board. The fixing component and the printed circuit board are fixedly connected by passing the fixing connection posts through the fixing connection holes.

[0078] In some embodiments, the power supply clamping device may include a base located on the side of the fixing component facing away from the printed circuit board. The side of the base facing the fixing component has a mounting groove for mounting at least part of the fixing component. Here, the depth of the mounting groove may be less than the thickness of the fixing component, as long as the fixing component can be mounted in the mounting groove.

[0079] In some embodiments, the clamping component is located on the same side of the base as the fixing component. The device to be powered can be located on the base, and the clamping component is fixedly connected to the base. It can also be used to position and clamp the device to be powered. With the printed circuit board fixedly connected to the fixing component, the fixing component mounted on the base, and the clamping component, base, and device to be powered fixedly connected, the pads can contact the second end of the probe. Furthermore, when the printed circuit board is connected to an external power supply, the external power supply can provide power to the pads, thereby powering the device to be powered.

[0080] Here, the number of probes and their front-end distribution are consistent with the number and distribution of the pads to be powered on the device to be powered. In other words, if the device to be powered is replaced, resulting in a change in the pads to be powered on the device, the corresponding probe assembly also needs to be replaced to ensure that the number of probes and their front-end distribution on the probe assembly correspond to the pads to be powered. The probe assembly can achieve precise power supply to the pads to be powered.

[0081] In some embodiments, different connection methods can be selected based on the materials of the clamping component and the base. For example, when the clamping component and the base are made of metal, they can be fixedly connected using threaded connections and welding connections. In other embodiments, the clamping component and the base can be fixedly connected by providing fixing connectors on the clamping component and the base. For example, a fixing connection hole can be provided on the clamping component, and a fixing connection post can be provided on the base. The fixing connection post is passed through the fixing connection hole to achieve a fixed connection between the clamping component and the base.

[0082] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, a probe assembly is provided, a fixing assembly is used to fix the printed circuit board in the probe assembly, a mounting slot on the base is used to install the fixing assembly, a clamping assembly is fixedly connected to the base, and the clamping assembly is used to position and clamp the device to be powered. When the probe in the probe assembly contacts the pad on the device to be powered, and the printed circuit board is connected to an external power supply, the external power supply can supply power to the pad.

[0083] In this way, by using the probe to contact the pad for power supply, the power supply clamping device can be used directly to supply power to the pad during the manufacturing process, without the need to repeatedly disassemble the device to be powered. This not only simplifies the manufacturing process, reduces production costs and improves production efficiency, but also avoids damage to the device to be powered, ensuring the aesthetics of the device.

[0084] Figure 2 This is a partial three-dimensional structural diagram of a power supply clamping device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1 ,like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the power supply clamping device 100 includes:

[0085] An adjustment hole 1013 and at least two mounting holes 1014 penetrate the printed circuit board 1011;

[0086] A first adjusting member 106 passes through the adjusting hole 1013 and is connected to the fixing component 102, for adjusting the distance between the probe 1012 and the pad 1051 when the first adjusting member 106 moves relative to the printed circuit board 1011.

[0087] In some embodiments, the printed circuit board has an adjustment hole and at least two mounting holes. Figure 3 This is a three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of a probe assembly according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, such as... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the printed circuit board 1011 may have one adjustment hole 1013 and two mounting holes 1014. A conductive portion 1015 may be provided at the other end of the printed circuit board 1011 opposite to the probe 1012. The adjustment hole may be located on the central axis of the printed circuit board to ensure that all probes can simultaneously contact the pads. The two mounting holes may be distributed on both sides of the adjustment hole, or on one side of the adjustment hole; the two mounting holes may be symmetrically arranged about the adjustment hole, or they may not be symmetrically arranged about the adjustment hole.

[0088] The conductive part can be a conductive via, wherein the circumference of the conductive via can be provided with a conductive material, such as copper or tin. The number of conductive vias is the same as the number of probes on the printed circuit board. The conductive vias are connected to jumpers, and an external power supply can be connected to the printed circuit board through jumpers. Each probe can correspond to one conductive via. Here, the conductive parts can be evenly distributed or unevenly distributed, and the layout of the conductive parts can be adjusted according to actual needs and the convenience of setting up.

[0089] Here, standard connectors can be directly soldered onto the printed circuit board to connect to an external power supply, as long as the pads can be connected to the external power supply through the printed circuit board to supply power to the device to be powered.

[0090] In other embodiments, the printed circuit board may have an adjustment hole and a mounting hole, with the mounting hole ensuring that the printed circuit board is fixed to the fixing component.

[0091] In some embodiments, the first adjusting member can be a thumbscrew, which can be made of plastic or metal. The first adjusting member can also be any adjusting member, as long as it allows adjustment of the distance between the probe and the pad. The first adjusting member can pass through an adjusting hole and be connected to a fixing component. The first adjusting member can move relative to the printed circuit board to adjust the distance between the probe and the pad. For example, when the first adjusting member moves upward relative to the printed circuit board, the distance between the probe and the pad decreases. Conversely, when the first adjusting member moves downward relative to the printed circuit board, the distance between the probe and the pad increases.

[0092] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, a first adjusting member is provided to pass through the adjusting hole and be connected to the fixing component. The distance between the probe and the pad can be adjusted to a suitable size by adjusting the first adjusting member, so as to ensure that the probe and the pad can make contact with each other at the same time, and the probe will not squeeze the pad and damage it.

[0093] Figure 4 This is a partial three-dimensional structural diagram of a power supply clamping device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 ,like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the power supply clamping device 100 includes:

[0094] The first through hole 1032 penetrates the first sidewall of the mounting groove 1031;

[0095] The second adjusting member 107 passes through the first through hole 1032 and abuts against the fixing component 102 installed in the mounting groove 1031, for adjusting the relative position between the probe 1012 and the pad 1051 when the second adjusting member 107 moves relative to the first sidewall.

[0096] Here, the second adjustment component can be a hand-tightening screw, which can be made of plastic or metal. The second adjustment component can also be any type of adjustment component, as long as it allows adjustment of the relative position between the probe and the pad.

[0097] In some embodiments, the first sidewall of the mounting slot has a first through hole, through which the second adjusting member can pass and abut against the fixing assembly mounted in the mounting slot. When the second adjusting member moves relative to the first sidewall, the fixing assembly moves under the action of the second adjusting member, thereby moving the probe assembly connected to the fixing assembly, and thus changing the relative position between the probe and the pad.

[0098] In some embodiments, during the process of supplying power to a device using a power supply clamping device, firstly, the device is positioned and clamped by the base and clamping components, allowing it to be located on the base and fixed between the clamping components. Then, a first adjusting member on the fixing component can be adjusted to reduce the distance between the probe and the pad, while ensuring the probe does not contact the pad. Next, a second adjusting member can be adjusted to change the relative position between the probe and the pad, aligning the probe with the pad. Finally, the first adjusting member can be adjusted again, allowing the probe to contact the pad, enabling the external power supply to provide power to the device when the printed circuit board is connected to an external power source.

[0099] In this embodiment, the distance between the probe and the pad is adjusted by a first adjusting member, and the relative position between the probe and the pad is adjusted by a second adjusting member. In this way, through clever structural design and the coordinated use of components, precise alignment between the probe and the pad can be achieved.

[0100] Figure 5 This is a three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of a fixing component according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, such as... Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the fixing component 102 includes:

[0101] First fixing part 1021 and second fixing part 1022;

[0102] The first connector 1023 is movably connected to the first fixing part 1021 and the second fixing part 1022, and is used to allow the first fixing part 1021 to rotate relative to the first connector 1023 when the device to be powered 105 is installed on the power supply clamping device 100 and when the device to be powered 105 is removed from the power supply clamping device 100.

[0103] Here, the fixing assembly may include a first fixing part and a second fixing part, and the first fixing part and the second fixing part are movably connected by a first connector. The first connector may be a pin, or any component that allows the first fixing part and the second fixing part to be movably connected.

[0104] In some embodiments, when the device to be powered is installed onto the power supply clamping device, the first fixing part can rotate relative to the first connector. That is, the first fixing part can gradually move away from the second fixing part, realizing a large-angle flip of the first fixing part, which facilitates the installation of the device to be powered onto the power supply clamping device.

[0105] In other embodiments, when the device to be powered is removed from the power supply clamping device, the first fixing part can rotate relative to the first connector. That is, the first fixing part can gradually move away from the second fixing part, and the probe can gradually detach from the pad, making it easier to remove the device to be powered from the power supply clamping device.

[0106] In some embodiments, the first adjusting member can be threadedly connected to the first fixing part through the adjusting hole, and the end of the first adjusting member extending out of the first fixing part can abut against the second fixing part. By adjusting the first adjusting member, the first adjusting member can move relative to the printed circuit board, and the length of the part of the first adjusting member extending out of the first fixing part changes accordingly. The included angle between the first fixing part and the second fixing part also changes accordingly, thereby adjusting the distance between the probe and the pad.

[0107] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the first fixing part and the second fixing part are movably connected by the first connector, which can change the included angle between the first fixing part and the second fixing part. The first fixing part can be rotated at a large angle, which facilitates the installation of the device to be powered onto the power supply clamping device and the removal of the device to be powered from the power supply clamping device.

[0108] Figure 6 This is a schematic cross-sectional view of a fixing component according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, such as... Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the second fixing part 1022 includes:

[0109] An accommodating space 1024 is formed on the second fixing part 1022;

[0110] A magnet 1025 is located within the accommodating space 1024 and is fixedly connected to the second fixing part 1022. The surface of the magnet 1025 is lower than or equal to the surface of the second fixing part 1022.

[0111] The first fixing part 1021 is made of magnetic material. Under the magnetic attraction of the magnet 1025, the first fixing part 1021 moves closer to the second fixing part 1022.

[0112] In some embodiments, the accommodating space can extend through the second fixing portion, which facilitates the formation of the accommodating space by directly penetrating the second fixing portion. In other embodiments, the accommodating space can be a recess formed on the second fixing portion, and the opening of the recess can face towards the first fixing portion or away from the second fixing portion. In still other embodiments, the accommodating space can be a hollow structure formed inside the second fixing portion, that is, the magnet is fixed inside the second fixing portion.

[0113] It should be noted that the shape and formation of the accommodating space can be adjusted according to actual needs to ensure that the magnet can be fixed in the accommodating space. The thickness of the second fixing part is greater than the thickness of the magnet, and the surface of the magnet is lower than or equal to the surface of the second fixing part.

[0114] In some embodiments, the magnet and the second fixing part can be fixedly connected by a fastener. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the magnet and the second fixing part can be fixedly connected by a fastener 108 located on the side wall of the second fixing part, which can be a set screw. The number of fasteners can be the same as the number of magnets.

[0115] In other embodiments, the magnet and the second fixing part can be fixedly connected by adhesive. For example, adhesive can be applied to the mounting gap between the magnet and the second fixing part, and the magnet can be fixed to the second fixing part.

[0116] In other embodiments, the magnet and the second fixing part can be fixedly connected by an interference fit. For example, when the second fixing part is made of an elastic material, the elasticity of the second fixing part is used to expand and deform the accommodating space, thereby placing the magnet in the accommodating space. When the accommodating space returns to its original state, a clamping force is generated on the magnet, so that the magnet is fixedly connected to the second fixing part.

[0117] Here, the first fixing part can be made of magnetic material, and the base can also be made of magnetic material. Under the magnetic effect of the magnet, the first fixing part can be close to the second fixing part, and the second fixing part and the base can be connected by magnetic attraction. In some embodiments, the second fixing part can be made of metal or plastic.

[0118] It should be noted that if the second fixing part is made of metal, the magnet still needs to be fixedly connected to the second fixing part. Since the first fixing part and the second fixing part are movably connected through the first connector, the power supply clamping device may be flipped during the manufacturing process. By using the magnet fixed to the second fixing part, the first fixing part can be attracted to the second fixing part under magnetic attraction, preventing the first fixing part from rotating.

[0119] In this embodiment, the first fixing part can be attracted to the second fixing part by a magnet located in the accommodating space of the second fixing part. During the manufacturing process, the rotation of the first fixing part is prevented, thereby ensuring that the relative position and distance between the probe and the pad are not affected, and ensuring the power supply to the device to be powered.

[0120] In some embodiments, there are at least two accommodating spaces, and the at least two accommodating spaces are symmetrical about the central axis of the second fixing part.

[0121] In some embodiments, there may be two accommodating spaces, which may be symmetrical about the central axis of the second fixing part. The number of accommodating spaces may be the same as the number of magnets, meaning the magnets are also located within the accommodating spaces and are symmetrical about the central axis of the second fixing part.

[0122] In other embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, there can be three accommodating spaces 1024. The first accommodating space can be located on the central axis of the second fixing part, and the second and third accommodating spaces can be symmetrical about the central axis of the second fixing part, that is, the second and third accommodating spaces can be symmetrical about the first accommodating space.

[0123] Here, the accommodating space and the number of magnets can be adjusted according to actual needs, ensuring that the accommodating space, i.e. the magnets, are symmetrical about the central axis of the second fixing part.

[0124] In this embodiment of the disclosure, when there are at least two accommodating spaces, i.e. at least two magnets, the at least two accommodating spaces are symmetrical about the central axis of the second fixing part, which can provide a uniform magnetic attraction to the first fixing part. Furthermore, the fixing component can move parallel to the first sidewall, making it easier to adjust the relative position between the probe and the pad.

[0125] Figure 7 This is a partial cross-sectional structural schematic diagram of a power supply clamping device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown below. Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the power supply clamping device 100 includes:

[0126] A fixing hole 1026 penetrates the first fixing part 1021, and the fixing hole 1026 is correspondingly provided with the adjusting hole 1013 and the mounting hole 1014;

[0127] The first adjusting member 106 passes through the adjusting hole 1013 and the fixing hole 1026 corresponding to the adjusting hole 1013 in sequence. When the first fixing part 1021 and the second fixing part 1022 are attracted to each other by magnetic attraction, the end of the first adjusting member 106 extending out of the fixing hole 1026 abuts against the magnet 1025. This is used to adjust the included angle between the first fixing part 1021 and the second fixing part 1022 when the first adjusting member 106 moves relative to the first fixing part 1021.

[0128] In some embodiments, the fixing hole through the first fixing part can be correspondingly provided with adjustment holes and mounting holes on the printed circuit board. The first adjusting member can pass through the adjustment hole and the corresponding fixing hole in sequence. When the first fixing part and the second fixing part are brought close to each other by magnetic attraction, the end of the first adjusting member extending out of the fixing hole abuts against the magnet.

[0129] It should be noted that the position of the accommodating space corresponds at least to the position of the adjustment hole, ensuring that the end of the first adjustment member extending through the adjustment hole and the fixing hole abuts against the magnet. Thus, when the first adjustment member is made of metal, the magnetic attraction provided by the magnet can not only attract the first fixing part, but also attract the first adjustment member, further fixing the first adjustment member to the fixing assembly.

[0130] In some embodiments, the first adjusting member can be threadedly connected to the first fixing part through the adjusting hole; that is, the fixing hole corresponding to the adjusting hole can be threadedly connected to the first adjusting member. The end of the first adjusting member extending out of the fixing hole can abut against the magnet. By adjusting the first adjusting member, the first adjusting member can move relative to the first fixing part, and the length of the portion of the first adjusting member extending out of the first fixing part changes accordingly. The included angle between the first fixing part and the second fixing part also changes accordingly, thereby adjusting the distance between the probe and the pad.

[0131] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, by providing a corresponding fixing hole on the first fixing part and passing the first adjusting member through the corresponding fixing hole, the included angle between the first fixing part and the second fixing part can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the distance between the probe and the pad.

[0132] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the power supply clamping device 100 includes:

[0133] A limiting ring 109 is located above a first mounting hole on the printed circuit board 1011; wherein the first mounting hole is close to the probe 1012;

[0134] The limiting post 110 passes through the limiting ring 109 and the first mounting hole in sequence, and is used to abut against the second fixing part 1022 when the first fixing part 1021 and the second fixing part 1022 are close to each other.

[0135] In some embodiments, the limiting ring can be a nut, and the limiting post can be a screw. The screw passes through the nut and the first mounting hole near the probe in sequence. In this way, when the first fixing part and the second fixing part approach each other, the end of the screw extending out of the first mounting hole can abut against the second fixing part. Furthermore, the screw can form a locking structure with the nut, thereby limiting the minimum included angle between the first fixing part and the second fixing part.

[0136] In some embodiments, there can be two limiting posts, each passing through a corresponding limiting ring and a corresponding mounting hole. When the first fixing part and the second fixing part approach each other, both limiting posts can abut against the second fixing part. Two locking structures can be formed by the two limiting posts and the two limiting rings, and the two locking structures can simultaneously limit the minimum included angle between the first fixing part and the second fixing part.

[0137] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the locking structure formed by the limiting ring and the limiting post can prevent the probe from continuing to press down when it contacts the pad, thereby avoiding damage to the probe or the pad.

[0138] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the power supply clamping device 100 includes:

[0139] At least two openings 1033 penetrate the second sidewall of the mounting groove 1031, and the at least two openings 1033 are symmetrical about the central axis of the second sidewall; wherein the first sidewall and the second sidewall are opposite to each other;

[0140] Spring 111 passes through the opening 1033 and abuts against the fixing component 102 installed in the mounting groove 1031, for deforming when the second adjusting member 107 moves relative to the first sidewall, to adjust the relative position between the probe 1012 and the pad 1051.

[0141] In some embodiments, at least two openings penetrate the second sidewall of the mounting groove, and the at least two openings are symmetrical about the central axis of the second sidewall. At least two springs pass through the at least two openings respectively, wherein the number of openings may be the same as the number of springs.

[0142] One end of the spring abuts against the fixing component, while the other end can be fixed inside the opening. Here, the other end of the spring can be fixed inside the opening using a set screw, so that the fixing component can be elastically connected to the base. Adjusting the set screw can adjust the initial compression length of the spring, thereby changing the initial elastic force of the spring and the initial position of the fixing component.

[0143] Understandably, the side of the fixing component facing the first sidewall abuts against the second adjusting member, and the side of the fixing component facing the second sidewall abuts against the spring. When the second adjusting member moves relative to the first sidewall, the fixing component also moves relative to the first sidewall, and the spring deforms, thereby adjusting the relative position between the probe and the pad.

[0144] In this embodiment, a spring symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the second sidewall provides a uniform elastic force to the fixing assembly, allowing it to move parallel to the second sidewall. By placing the second adjusting member and the spring on opposite sides of the fixing assembly, smooth movement of the fixing assembly is ensured, making it easier to adjust the relative position of the probe and the device.

[0145] Figure 8 This is a three-dimensional structural schematic of a power supply clamping device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 ,like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the power supply clamping device 100 includes:

[0146] The first limiting member 112 is located on the side of the mounting groove 1031 near the clamping assembly 104;

[0147] The limiting block 113 includes: a second limiting member 1131, which is fixedly connected to the first limiting member 112. The limiting block 113 is used to limit the movement range of the fixing component 102 when the fixing component 102 is installed in the mounting groove 1031.

[0148] In some embodiments, the first limiting member can be a first limiting hole formed on the base, and the second limiting member can be a second limiting post formed on the limiting block. The second limiting post can pass through the first limiting hole, so that the first limiting hole and the second limiting post are fixedly connected, and the limiting block can be fixed on the base.

[0149] In other embodiments, the first limiting member can be a first limiting post formed on the base, and the second limiting member can be a second limiting hole formed on the limiting block. The first limiting post can pass through the second limiting hole, so that the first limiting post and the second limiting hole are fixedly connected, and the limiting block can be fixed on the base.

[0150] In other embodiments, the first limiting member can be a first limiting hole formed on the base, and the second limiting member can be a second limiting hole formed on the limiting block. The third limiting post can pass through the second limiting hole and the first limiting hole in sequence. In this way, the third limiting post, the first limiting hole and the second limiting hole are fixedly connected, and the limiting block can be fixed on the base.

[0151] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first limiting member 112 can be two first limiting holes formed on the base 103, the second limiting member 1131 can be two second limiting holes formed on the limiting block 113, and the third limiting post 1132 can be a screw.

[0152] In this embodiment of the disclosure, by fixing the limiting block to the base, it is possible to avoid the power supply clamping component flipping over during the manufacturing process, which could cause the fixing component to fall out of the mounting slot.

[0153] Figure 9 This is a three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the base according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, such as... Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the base 103 includes:

[0154] A limiting step 1034 is formed on the same side of the base 103 as the fixing component 102;

[0155] A positioning groove 1035 is formed on the side of the base 103 facing away from the fixing component 102, for mounting the base 103 onto the production equipment.

[0156] In some embodiments, the limiting step on the base can be set to achieve precise positioning of the device to be powered. In conjunction with the clamping component, the device to be powered can be positioned and clamped on the power supply clamping device.

[0157] In some embodiments, during the process of supplying power to the device to be powered, the power supply clamping device can be installed on the corresponding production equipment through the positioning groove at the bottom of the base, and the probe assembly can be connected to the external power supply to meet the clamping and power supply requirements of the device to be powered.

[0158] During the manufacturing process, the positioning slot on the base is compatible with both optical port coupling equipment and lens coupling equipment. Before the optical port coupling process, the device to be powered is positioned and clamped onto the power supply clamping device. In this way, the power supply clamping device with the device to be powered can be directly applied to the optical port coupling, temperature cycling, and lens coupling processes. After the above processes are completed, the device to be powered is removed from the power supply clamping device, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0159] It should be noted that if the power supply clamping device needs to be applied to other production equipment, the application range of the power supply clamping device can be expanded by setting a corresponding positioning groove on the base.

[0160] In this embodiment of the disclosure, by standardizing the design of the power supply clamping device and the coupling device, the device to be powered can be directly coupled to the power supply clamping device for optical port coupling, temperature circulation, and lens coupling without repeated disassembly, which simplifies the manufacturing process and improves production efficiency.

[0161] Figure 10 This is a partial three-dimensional structural diagram of a power supply clamping device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 3 ,like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the power supply clamping device 100 includes:

[0162] The first clamping block 1041 is fixedly connected to the first clamping hole 1036; wherein, the first clamping hole 1036 is formed on the same side of the base 103 as the first sidewall;

[0163] The second clamping block 1042 is opposite to the first clamping block 1041 and is fixedly connected to the second clamping hole 1037; wherein the second clamping hole 1037 is formed on the same side of the base 103 as the second sidewall.

[0164] like Figure 9 As shown, a first clamping hole 1036 is formed on the base 103 on the same side as the first sidewall, and a second clamping hole 1037 is formed on the base 103 on the same side as the second sidewall. The power supply clamping device may include a first clamping block and a second clamping block, with the first clamping block and the second clamping block disposed opposite to each other.

[0165] In some embodiments, the first clamping block is provided with a third clamping hole corresponding to the first clamping hole, allowing screws, pins, or other components to pass through the first and third clamping holes to achieve a fixed connection between the first clamping block and the base. Correspondingly, the second clamping block is provided with a fourth clamping hole corresponding to the second clamping hole, allowing screws, pins, or other components to pass through the second and fourth clamping holes to achieve a fixed connection between the second clamping block and the base.

[0166] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, by fixing the clamping block on the clamping assembly to the clamping hole on the base, a fixed connection between the clamping assembly and the base can be achieved. In this way, the device to be powered can be fixed to the power supply clamping device through the cooperation of the clamping assembly and the base.

[0167] Figure 11 This is a partial perspective structural schematic diagram of a clamping assembly according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, such as... Figures 1 to 11As shown, the clamping assembly 104 includes:

[0168] The pressure block 1043 is located between the first clamping block 1041 and the second clamping block 1042 and is in contact with the surface of the device to be powered 105.

[0169] The third adjusting member 1044 passes through the second through hole 1045 on the first clamping block 1041 and abuts against the opening of the pressure block 1043 toward the first clamping block 1041.

[0170] The second connector 1046 passes through the third through hole 1047 on the pressure block 1043 and is fixedly connected to the pressure block 1043.

[0171] The third adjusting member 1044 includes:

[0172] A groove is formed at one end of the third adjusting member 1044 that abuts against the pressure block 1043, for forming a movable connection with the pressure block 1043 when the second connecting member 1046 passes through the third through hole 1047.

[0173] In some embodiments, Figure 12 This is a partial cross-sectional structural schematic diagram of a clamping assembly according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, such as... Figures 1 to 12 As shown, the second through hole 1045 on the first clamping block 1041 can be a threaded hole, and the third adjusting member 1044 can pass through the second through hole 1045 and be threadedly connected to the first clamping block 1041. The groove on the third adjusting member 1044 can cooperate with the second connecting member 1046 to form a movable connection with the pressure block 1043. The groove can be a trapezoidal groove or a wedge-shaped groove.

[0174] In some embodiments, the opening formed by the pressure block toward the first clamping block is larger than the end of the third adjusting member, thus facilitating the insertion of the end of the third adjusting member into the opening on the pressure block. A third through hole is formed on the side of the pressure block perpendicular to the opening, through which the second connecting member can pass and be located within the groove of the third adjusting member. In this way, the pressure block and the second connecting member are fixedly connected, and the pressure block and the third adjusting member are movably connected by the action of the second connecting member and the groove.

[0175] In some embodiments, when the third adjusting member moves away from the pressure block, the pressure block can also move away from the device to be powered. That is, the contact between the pressure block and the device to be powered is looser. This ensures that the pressure block and the device to be powered are in contact, but will not damage the device to be powered due to excessive contact.

[0176] In other embodiments, when the third adjusting member moves toward the pressure block, the pressure block can also move toward the device to be powered. That is, the contact between the pressure block and the device to be powered is closer, which ensures that the clamping assembly can better fix the device to be powered.

[0177] In some embodiments, the third adjusting member can be a hand-tightening screw, which can be made of plastic or metal. The third adjusting member can also be any adjusting member, as long as it can be used to adjust the tightness of the contact between the pressure block and the device to be powered.

[0178] In this embodiment, a groove and a second connector are provided to achieve a movable connection between the pressure block and the third adjusting member. The pressure block can rotate at any angle. Under the adjustment of the third adjusting member, the pressure block and the device to be powered can fit more closely. At the same time, the clamping force of the clamping assembly is controlled to firmly hold the device to be powered while avoiding excessive force that could deform the device to be powered.

[0179] In some embodiments, the size, shape, and depth of through holes, fixing holes, adjusting holes, openings, and mounting holes can be adjusted according to actual conditions.

[0180] In some embodiments, a spring can be provided between the mounting slot of the base and the fixing component to prevent the fixing component from moving away from the device to be powered due to the installation gap formed between the base and the fixing component, or to cause the movement of the fixing component to deviate, affecting the alignment contact between the probe and the pad.

[0181] The first adjusting component, the second adjusting component, the spring, the limiting block and the spring sheet can be used to adjust the fixed component. Under the adjustment, the fixed component can move within a small range, thereby driving the probe to align with the pad and achieve contact between the probe and the pad.
