Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of photoelectric coupling, and in particular to a photoelectric coupling device for a signal line. Background Art

[0002] The photoelectric coupling device is also called a photoelectric isolator or an optical coupler, or optocoupler for short. It is a device that uses light as a medium to transmit signal line signals. Usually, the light emitter (such as a light-emitting diode chip) and the light receiver (such as a photosensitive chip) are encapsulated in the same cavity, and the optical transmission process is divided into an input end and an output end. When an electrical signal is applied to the signal line at the input end, the light emitter emits light, and the light receiver receives the light and generates an electrical signal, thereby realizing the "electric-light-electric" conversion. Since the input and output of the photoelectric coupler are isolated from each other, and the electrical signal transmission has the characteristics of unidirectionality, it has good electrical insulation and anti-interference capabilities. Therefore, it is widely used in various circuits such as switching circuits, logic circuits, and high-voltage voltage stabilization circuits;

[0003] In order to ensure the airtightness of the structure, the traditional photoelectric coupling device used for signal line signal transmission is usually packaged with colloid. This leads to the fact that in some university courses, it is not convenient to disassemble the photocoupler, and it is not easy to show the internal structure for students to understand. It is well known that the pins of the photocoupler are relatively important and easy to deform, and the deformation of the pins represents the damage of the photocoupler. The pins cannot be replaced in the structure of colloid packaging, which greatly increases the teaching cost of colleges and universities. Therefore, the present invention proposes a photoelectric coupling device for signal lines to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In order to deepen the understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with examples. The examples are only used to explain the present invention and do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the present invention.

[0025] according to Figure 1-8 As shown, this embodiment proposes an optoelectronic coupling device for a signal line, comprising an upper cover 1, a lower shell 2, a light source 3 and a light receiver 4, two groups of U-shaped conductive plates 5 are symmetrically distributed on the lower shell 2, the light source 3 and the light receiver 4 are symmetrically welded on the two groups of U-shaped conductive plates 5, a first seal is provided between the light source 3 and the light receiver 4, the light path between the light source 3 and the light receiver 4 is sealed by the first seal, pins 6 are detachably installed at both ends of the U-shaped conductive plate 5, a mounting groove 11 adapted to the light source 3, the light receiver 4, the U-shaped conductive plate 5, the first seal and the pin 6 is provided on the upper cover 1, the upper cover 1 and the lower shell 2 are clamped by a clamping assembly, and a second seal for airtight sealing is also provided between the upper cover 1 and the lower shell 2.

[0026] In the device, the light source 3 is a light emitting diode, and the light receiver 4 is a phototransistor. Insulation isolation is formed between the light emitting diode and the phototransistor. The light path between the light emitting diode and the phototransistor is sealed by a first sealing member to reduce the divergence of the light source, thereby increasing the receiving effect of the phototransistor and preventing dust from polluting the phototransistor. At the same time, an airtight seal is formed between the upper cover 1 and the lower shell 2 by a second sealing member to prevent dust from entering the interior and ensure the sealing between the upper cover 1 and the lower shell 2. At the same time, the upper cover 1 and the lower shell 2 of the device are connected by a snap-fit ​​method to facilitate disassembly.

[0027] The first sealing component includes a sealing cover 7, a reflective coating 8, a plug-in block 9 and a plug-in slot 10. The inner wall of the sealing cover 7 is provided with a reflective coating 8. The two ends of the sealing cover 7 are respectively connected to the light source 3 and the light receiver 4. The bottom of the sealing cover 7 is symmetrically provided with plug-in blocks 9. The lower shell 2 is provided with a plug-in slot 10 adapted to the plug-in block. The plug-in block 9 is inserted into the plug-in slot 10. The sealing cover 7 is also provided with a heat sink 12.

[0028] The sealing cover 7 forms a seal between the light-emitting diode and the phototransistor, and the reflective coating 8 further increases the focusing effect, thereby ensuring the transmission of the signal. At the same time, the arrangement of the plug-in block 9 and the plug-in slot 10 ensures the stability of the sealing cover 7, and the arrangement of the heat sink 12 can dissipate the heat for the reflective diode and the phototransistor, further increasing the service life of the device.

[0029] A convex lens 24 is provided inside the sealing cover 7, and a storage groove 25 is provided on the inner wall of the sealing cover 7 close to one end of the photoreceiver 4. A cleaning pad 26 for cleaning the glass sheet at the receiving end of the photoreceiver 4 is provided in the storage groove 25. A push rod 27 is penetrated through the side wall of the sealing cover 7, and one end of the push rod 27 is fixedly connected to the cleaning pad 26. The sealing cover 7 and the convex lens 24 of the device are both made of insulating materials, and the convex lens 24 and the sealing cover 7 are fixedly connected, thereby forming a sealed isolation package between the light source 3 and the photoreceiver 4. Because the sealing cover 7 is sealed and insulated, and the convex lens 24 is light-transmitting and insulated, it fully meets the requirements of the optical coupling isolation package. In the optical path, because the convex lens 24 has the function of focusing light, when the light is irradiated, it will concentrate the light at the center position of the receiving end of the photoreceiver 4. In this way, a storage groove 25 is provided on the front side wall of the photoreceiver 4, and the cleaning pad 26 is stored in the storage groove 25, which will not affect the transmission of the optical path.

[0030] The device achieves a focusing effect by arranging a convex lens 24 inside the sealing cover 7, thereby increasing the transmission effect of the device, and the device is provided with a cleaning pad 26 on the inner side of the sealing cover 7, which can be used to clean the glass sheet at the receiving end of the light receiver 4 when not in operation, to prevent dust from accumulating on the receiving end of the light receiver when the device is disassembled for demonstration, thereby affecting light reception, further increasing the service life of the device, and the cleaning pad 26 can be stored in the storage slot 25 when not in use, thereby not affecting the normal operation of the light receiver 4.

[0031] The push rod 27 includes a first connecting rod 28 , a second connecting rod 29 and a third connecting rod 30 . The first connecting rod 28 is connected to the cleaning pad 26 , the second connecting rod 29 is threadedly installed inside the first connecting rod 28 , and the third connecting rod 30 is threadedly installed inside the second connecting rod 29 .

[0032] The device adopts a nesting doll method to threadably install the second connecting rod 29 and the third connecting rod 30 on the first connecting rod 28, thereby reducing the overall length of the push rod 27. When in use, the second connecting rod 29 and the third connecting rod 30 can be unscrewed to ensure the length of the push rod 27, which is relatively convenient.

[0033] The second sealing member includes a sealing block 13, a sealing groove 14, a glue groove 15, a glue injection hole 16 and a solidified colloid 17. A frame-shaped sealing block 13 is provided at a position near the outer edge of the lower shell 2, and a matching sealing groove 14 is provided on the upper cover 1. Both the sealing block 13 and the sealing groove 14 are provided with a glue groove 15. The upper cover 1 is provided with a glue injection hole 16 connected with the glue groove 15. After the upper cover 1 and the lower shell 2 are sealed, epoxy resin glue is added into the glue groove 15 through the glue injection hole 16 and solidified to form a solidified colloid 17. By injecting glue into the glue groove 15, the fluidity of the colloid is used to prevent a gap from existing between the sealing block 13 and the sealing groove 14. After the colloid solidifies, a seal is formed between the sealing block 13 and the sealing groove 14, thereby ensuring the sealing effect of the connection between the upper cover 1 and the lower shell 2 of the device.

[0034] The upper cover 1 and the lower shell 2 are both made of PC material, and the sealing block 13 and the sealing groove 14 are made of PP material. The sealing block 13 and the sealing groove 14 are respectively connected to the lower shell 2 and the upper cover 1 using HY-302AB glue. The PP material and the epoxy resin glue cannot be bonded, so after the epoxy resin glue solidifies, no adhesive fixation will occur, and at the same time, the adhesive sealing effect can be guaranteed, so that the upper cover 1 and the lower shell 2 can be disassembled while ensuring the sealing of the connection.

[0035] Both ends of the U-shaped conductive plate 5 are provided with connecting grooves 18, and the upper end of the pin 6 is provided with a connecting block 19 adapted to the connecting groove 18, and the connecting block 19 is inserted into the connecting groove 18. Through the adaptation of the connecting groove 18 and the connecting block 19, it is convenient to align and install the pin 6. At the same time, the detachable pin 6 cooperates with the detachable upper cover 1 and the lower shell 2. When the pin 6 is damaged, the pin 6 can be replaced, thereby increasing the reusability of the device and reducing the teaching cost of colleges and universities.

[0036] A positioning groove 20 is also provided at the end of the connecting groove 18, and a matching positioning block 21 is provided on the pin 6. The positioning block 21 is inserted into the positioning groove 20. Through the gravity of the positioning block 21 itself, the pin 6 can be fixed after the positioning groove 20 is engaged, thereby facilitating the assembly of the device.

[0037] The snap-on assembly includes a snap-on groove 22 and a snap-on block 23. The lower shell 2 is provided with a snap-on groove 22, and the upper cover 1 is provided with a snap-on block 23 adapted to the snap-on groove 22. The snap-on block 23 is inserted into the snap-on groove 22 for snap-on fixation. The device is sealed and fixed by the arrangement of the snap-on groove 22 and the snap-on block 23, which is convenient for disassembly.

[0038] The photoelectric coupling device for the signal line is installed by snapping together the upper cover 1 and the lower shell 2, so that the lower shell 2 and the upper cover 1 can be disassembled. At the same time, the pin 6 can be replaced by the detachable connection between the pin 6 and the U-shaped conductive plate 5. The setting of the sealing cover 7 ensures the convergence of the light path between the light source 3 and the light receiver, thereby ensuring the transmission of the signal.

[0039] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principles of the present invention. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the present invention may have various changes and improvements, which fall within the scope of the present invention.
