Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of AOC active optical cable multimedia plugs, and in particular relates to a detachable multimedia plug for an AOC active optical cable. Background Art

[0002] AOC (Active Optical Fiber) active optical cable refers to a communication cable that requires optical transceiver devices to convert electrical signals into optical signals, or convert optical signals into electrical signals during the communication process. The optical transceivers at both ends of the optical cable provide photoelectric conversion and optical transmission functions.

[0003] The two sides of the AOC active optical cable are connected to the optical transceiver by connecting the optical module plug. The optical module plug here is one of the many multimedia plugs of the AOC active optical cable. It can convert gigabit electrical signals into optical signals. It is an industry-standard small pluggable gigabit optical transceiver integrated module.

[0004] When connecting the optical transceiver, AOC active optical cable and optical module plug, first take out the optical module plug and insert it into the socket of the optical transceiver, then connect the connector of the AOC active optical cable to the optical module plug, and wait for the indicator light on the optical transceiver to light up before the connection is complete;

[0005] When dismantling the above-mentioned equipment, the above-mentioned operation is performed in reverse. After unplugging the connector of the AOC active optical cable from the optical module plug, the optical module plug is taken out. Here, because the optical transceiver is connected to more than one AOC active optical cable, after unplugging the connector of the AOC active optical cable from the optical module plug, the infrared rays refracted into the optical transceiver by other AOC active optical cables will be emitted from the interface of the optical module plug. When people who do not understand this part of knowledge check the optical module and look directly at the interface part of the optical module plug, the infrared rays will cause serious damage to their eyeballs.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0031] The present invention provides a detachable multimedia plug for an AOC active optical cable, such as Figures 1 to 10 As shown, it includes an AOC optical cable 1, a connector 2, and an optical module plug 3 with an interface 4;

[0032] There are two connectors 2, and the outer walls of the two connectors 2 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of one side of the AOC optical cable 1. There are two interfaces 4, and the two interfaces 4 are both opened on the outer wall of one side of the optical module plug 3. The AOC optical cable 1, connector 2, optical module plug 3 and interface 4 are all universal standard parts or parts known to those skilled in the art, and their structures and principles can be known to those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods.

[0033] The AOC optical cable 1 is fixedly installed with a protective shell 5, and the upper and lower sides of the protective shell 5 are as follows. Figures 1 to 3As shown, a spring piece is arranged on it to engage with the interface 4, the inner wall of one side of the protective shell 5 is fixedly connected to the outer walls of the two connectors 2 on both sides, the outer wall of the protective shell 5 is fixedly installed with a push plate 6, the push plate 6 is elliptical in shape, and an elliptical fixing ring 23 is fixedly installed on the side of the push plate 6 close to the optical module plug 3, and a connecting frame 8 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of one side of the rubber sleeve 7. The outer wall of the connecting frame 8 is slidably connected to the outer wall of one side of the optical module plug 3, and the side of the rubber sleeve 7 away from the connecting frame 8 is in contact with the outer wall of the push plate 6. The top of the baffle plate 9 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the rubber sleeve 7, and the bottom of the lower baffle plate 10 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom of the rubber sleeve 7. The upper baffle plate 9 and the lower baffle plate 10 are both located in the middle of the rubber sleeve 7. The upper baffle plate 9 and the lower baffle plate 10 are both inclined at an angle of 15 degrees away from the connection frame 8. The upper baffle plate 9 is located on the side of the lower baffle plate 10 away from the connection frame 8. When connecting the AOC optical cable 1 and the optical module plug 3, first install the protective device on the optical module plug 3, and then insert the AOC optical cable 1 and the protective shell 5 into the rubber sleeve. 7, push the AOC optical cable 1 and the protective shell 5 with force, because the area of ​​the pushing plate 6 is larger than the area of ​​one end of the rubber sleeve 7, the pushing plate 6 will make one end of the rubber sleeve 7 evenly stressed, and at the same time, the area of ​​the fixing ring 23 is smaller than the area of ​​one end of the rubber sleeve 7, and the fixing ring 23 will be inserted into the inner wall of the rubber sleeve 7. When the pushing plate 6 pushes the rubber sleeve 7, the rubber sleeve 7 will squeeze the fixing ring 23 inward, and the fixing ring 23 will provide support for the rubber sleeve 7, thereby preventing the pushed end of the rubber sleeve 7 from being sunken inward. At the same time, because the outer shape of the rubber sleeve 7 is elliptical, the area of ​​the middle position of the rubber sleeve 7 is larger than the area of ​​the two end positions, so when the rubber sleeve 7 is pushed, the middle position of the rubber sleeve 7 will expand outward, but the length of the rubber sleeve 7 will be reduced. The upper baffle 9 and the lower baffle 10 are used inside the rubber sleeve 7 to prevent the infrared laser from being emitted. When the middle position of the rubber sleeve 7 expands outward, the upper baffle 9 and the lower baffle 10 will be driven to move upward, so that the AOC optical cable 1 can be connected to the optical module plug 3 through the rubber sleeve 7;

[0034] In order to prevent users who are not skilled in the field from unplugging the AOC optical cable 1 and checking the interface 4 with their eyes, a protective device is provided to prevent users from looking directly at the interface 4. However, the user may poke the upper baffle 9 and the lower baffle 10 apart with their fingers to view the interface 4. Therefore, a snap-fit ​​block 11 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the upper baffle 9, and a snap-fit ​​groove 12 is provided at the top of the lower baffle 10. The snap-fit ​​block 11 is tilted upward by five degrees. When the upper baffle 9 and the lower baffle 10 are pushed horizontally, their angles will change, and the upper baffle 9 will move toward the lower baffle 10, and the snap-fit ​​block 11 will enter the snap-fit ​​groove. 12, the engaging block 11 will be engaged with the engaging groove 12, and it will be difficult for the user to continue to push the upper baffle 9 and the lower baffle 10. In order to improve the tighter engagement of the engaging block 11 and the engaging groove 12 when being pushed, the outer shape of the engaging groove 12 is set to be L-shaped, so that a hook-shaped protrusion is formed on the top of the engaging groove 12. When the upper baffle 9 and the lower baffle 10 are pushed, the engaging groove 12 will hook the engaging block 11. Here, the engaging block 11 and the engaging groove 12 are not in contact in a normal state. Only when the upper baffle 9 is subjected to sufficient lateral force, the engaging block 11 and the engaging groove 12 will be in contact.

[0035] The rubber sleeve 7 and the outer wall of the connecting frame 8 are connected with a connecting device, and the connecting device is used to quickly connect the connecting frame 8 and the optical module plug 3. The inner walls of the upper and lower sides of the end of the connecting frame 8 close to the optical module plug 3 are provided with positioning grooves 20. The connecting device includes: a fixing column 17 and a connecting block 19. There are two fixing columns 17. The two fixing columns 17 are fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the rubber sleeve 7 respectively. The cross-sectional area of ​​the rubber sleeve 7 is T-shaped. Elastic ropes 18 are fixedly installed on the outer walls of one side of the two rubber sleeves 7. The outer wall of the other end of the elastic rope 18 is fixedly installed with a connecting rod. Connecting block 19, positioning blocks 21 are fixedly installed on the upper and lower outer walls of one end of the optical module plug 3, and the side of the positioning block 21 away from the optical module plug 3 is threadedly connected to the connecting block 19. In order to facilitate the use of the quick installation rubber sleeve 7, a connecting device is provided. When installing the rubber sleeve 7 and the connecting frame 8, the connecting frame 8 is slidably connected to the optical module plug 3, so that the positioning block 21 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the positioning groove 20, and then the elastic rope 18 is pulled to make the connecting block 19 contact with the positioning block 21. A threaded hole is provided on one side of the positioning block 21 for rotating connection. The connecting block 19 is inserted into the positioning block 21, so that the connecting frame 8 and the optical module plug 3 can be connected together. The outer wall at the bottom of the fixing column 17 is rotatably connected to two connecting rings 22. The two connecting rings 22 are both semi-elliptical in shape, and the radius of the connecting ring 22 is greater than the radius of the rubber sleeve 7. At the same time, in order to facilitate the user to remove the rubber sleeve 7, a connecting ring 22 is provided on the fixing column 17. By pulling the connecting ring 22, the force on the rubber sleeve 7 is more uniform, which prevents the rubber sleeve 7 from being torn by excessive force. The semi-elliptical shape is to enable the connecting ring 22 to fit the rubber sleeve 7 more closely, and prevent the connecting ring 22 from hooking other objects when not in use. When the optical module plug 3 needs to be pulled out of the optical transceiver, the connecting ring 22 can be pulled to make the optical module plug 3 evenly stressed, and avoid damage to the optical module plug 3 when pulling the optical module plug 3. In this way, there is no need to install additional connectors on the optical module plug 3, thereby reducing the weight of the optical module plug 3. Here, the material of the fixing column 17 and the connecting ring 22 are both soft rubber materials.

[0036] A brush 24 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the upper baffle 9. By setting the brush 24, when the AOC optical cable 1 and the connector 2 enter the rubber sleeve 7, the dust on the AOC optical cable 1 and the connector 2 can be brushed away by the brush 24, thereby preventing the dust on the AOC optical cable 1 and the connector 2 from entering the interface 4. Here, in order to prevent static electricity from being generated when the brush 24 brushes away the dust, the brush 24 is made of soft rubber material.

[0037] An upper rubber block 13 is fixedly installed on the top of the side of the rubber sleeve 7 away from the connecting frame 8, and a lower rubber block 14 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the side of the rubber sleeve 7 away from the connecting frame 8. A buckle strip 15 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of one side of the upper rubber block 13, and a connecting groove 16 is provided on the other side of the lower rubber block 14. In order to prevent dust from entering the optical module plug 3 when the optical module plug 3 is not in use, the side of the upper rubber block 13 with the buckle strip 15 can be turned downward, and the side of the lower rubber block 14 with the connecting groove 16 can be turned upward. After pressing the rubber sleeve 7, the buckle strip 15 is pressed into the connecting groove 16, and the upper rubber block 13 and the lower rubber block 14 are fitted together. Fig.10 As shown, protrusions are provided on both sides of the buckle strip 15, and grooves are provided on both sides of the connecting groove 16. When the buckle strip 15 is inserted into the connecting groove 16, the protrusions will be engaged in the grooves to prevent the buckle strip 15 from being separated from the connecting groove 16. Here, the protrusions are made of soft rubber material.

[0038] The outer wall of the push disk 6 is in contact with a protective device, which is used to protect the user's eyes from being injured by the laser at the interface 4.

[0039] Working principle: When connecting the AOC optical cable 1 and the optical module plug 3, first install the protective device on the optical module plug 3, then insert the AOC optical cable 1 and the protective shell 5 into the rubber sleeve 7, and then push the AOC optical cable 1 and the protective shell 5 with force. The pushing plate 6 will push the rubber sleeve 7 to expand the middle position of the rubber sleeve 7 outward, thereby driving the upper baffle 9 and the lower baffle 10 to move upward, so that the AOC optical cable 1 can be connected to the optical module plug 3 through the rubber sleeve 7. When installing the rubber sleeve 7, slide the connecting frame 8 and the optical module plug 3, and then thread the connecting block 19 and the positioning block 21 to complete the installation. When the optical module plug 3 needs to be pulled out of the optical transceiver, pull the connecting ring 22 to pull out the optical module plug 3.

[0040] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit them.
