Taking the fiber bending radius of 6mm as an example, the fiber bending diameter is 12mm, plus the space installation gap of the fiber cover 1', it will occupy 15*15mm 2 The optical device 2' will move toward the optical fiber interface, resulting in a reduction in the layout space of the printed circuit board (PCB), and a double-layer printed circuit board design has to be adopted. However, the double-layer PCB 3' needs to be a soft belt for communication connection, which increases the manufacturing cost sharply, and the heat dissipation problem of the double-layer PCB 3' is very difficult to solve. The heat dissipation of the optical module is through the top of the module. A slave board is sandwiched between the top of the module and the PCB main board, which makes heat dissipation difficult.

The bottom of the clamping disc 2010 is set as a plane, so that the plane abuts against the upper surface of the anti-rotation boss 33, which can ensure that the clamping disc 2010 does not rotate; in addition, the plane on the clamping disc 2010 does not necessarily need to be set at the bottom, but can also be set at the side or the top. Accordingly, the anti-rotation boss 33 is adjusted accordingly according to the position of the plane of the clamping disc 2010, so that the plane of the clamping disc 2010 can abut against the plane of the anti-rotation boss 33.

[0085] In the above structure, it is mentioned that the front positioning column 200 is inserted into the optical fiber interface 110. Specifically, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the inner end surface of the base 11 is provided with a positioning hole 111, the positioning hole 111 is communicated with the optical fiber interface 110, the positioning hole 111 is located at the center of the optical fiber interface 110, and the positioning hole 111 is used to accommodate the front positioning column 200. Therefore, when the optical fiber pin 20 is installed, it is inserted into the optical fiber interface 110 from the positioning hole 111.

[0086] like Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, a double-hole absorbing plate 4 is provided between the positioning plate 2010 and the base 11, and two round holes 40 are provided on the double-hole absorbing plate 4, and the round holes 40 are used for the front positioning column 200 to pass through and be inserted into the positioning hole 111. The reason for providing the double-hole absorbing plate 4 between the optical fiber interface 110 and the optical fiber pin 20 is that the double-hole absorbing plate 4, as a kind of material that can absorb the electromagnetic wave energy projected onto its surface, plays a role in absorbing the electromagnetic radiation that may be generated in the optical module, which helps to reduce the potential impact of electromagnetic radiation on the equipment and the environment; secondly, the double-hole absorbing plate 4 can effectively absorb the leakage electromagnetic radiation that may be generated, thereby achieving the purpose of removing electromagnetic interference, ensuring the normal operation of the optical module, and improving the stability and reliability of the system; in addition to the above-mentioned direct effects, the double-hole absorbing plate 4 can also optimize certain performance parameters of the optical module through its special structure and material characteristics. For example, through the design and application of absorbing materials, it is possible to improve the performance indicators such as insertion loss and return loss of the optical module.

[0087] Considering that the fiber coil cover 3 is arranged inside the packaging shell 1 and covers the top of the optical device 25, even if the fiber coil cover 3 can be limited by the raised optical device 25, during the process of removing or installing the optical module, the optical module will inevitably tilt due to the operation. Only relying on the optical device 25 to limit or block the fiber coil cover 3 cannot completely ensure the stability of the fiber coil cover 3 inside the packaging shell 1. Therefore, if Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, a card plate 100 is provided on the inner side of the upper cover 10, and two second card slots 1000 are provided on the card plate 100. The second card slots 1000 are semicircular and are engaged with the rear positioning column 201. When the second card slots 1000 are engaged with the rear positioning column 201, the outer side surface of the card plate 100 abuts against the inner side surface of the fiber coiling cover 3 to limit the position of the fiber coiling cover 3. Since the upper cover 10 and the base 11 are fixedly connected, the card plate 100 provided on the upper cover 10 limits the position of the fiber coiling cover 3, so as to ensure that the fiber coiling cover 3 remains stable in a shaking environment.

[0088] In the process of buckling the upper cover 10 and the base 11, high precision is required so that the screw holes on the upper cover 10 and the base 11 can be used to fix them. Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, positioning protrusions 101 are respectively provided on both sides of the upper cover 10, and the outer contour of the positioning protrusion 101 matches the inner edge of the base 11 in the corresponding area; positioning bosses 112 are provided on both sides of the base 11, and when the upper cover 10 and the base 11 are buckled, the lower surface of the positioning protrusion 101 and the upper surface of the positioning boss 112 are in contact. During the installation process, the positioning protrusion 101 and the positioning boss 112 are coupled to ensure the coupling accuracy between the upper cover 10 and the base 11.

[0089] The optical devices 25 in the optical module, especially the optical active devices, are responsible for converting electrical signals into optical signals or converting optical signals into electrical signals. These optical devices 25 will generate optical signals when working. If there is no proper isolation between the optical devices 25, the optical signals may interfere with each other, resulting in a decrease in signal quality and affecting communication performance. Therefore, Fig.14 and Fig.15As shown, the upper surface of the fiber coil cover 3 is processed and provided with an isolation plate 32, and at least one claw 31 is provided on the isolation plate 32. The isolation plate 32 and the side of the fiber coil cover 3 form a receiving cavity, and the receiving cavity is used to receive the optical device 25 located on the circuit board 2. The bottom surface of the isolation plate 32 is provided with a shielding partition 320, and the shielding partition 320 isolates each of the optical devices 25. The area where the isolation plate 32 is located is the closed area of ​​the fiber coil cover 3. Based on this, the isolation plate 32 can effectively prevent the crosstalk between the optical signals of the optical device 25, and the highly sensitive optoelectronic device can quickly and accurately detect and convert the optical signal. However, if the distance between the optoelectronic devices is too close, they may be affected by the optical signals generated by each other, resulting in a decrease in sensitivity and a decrease in signal stability. The use of the isolation plate 32 can ensure the appropriate distance between the optoelectronic devices, thereby improving the signal stability.

[0090] In addition to the above structure, considering the heat dissipation requirements of the optical device 25, such as Fig.16 and Fig.17 As shown, the structure further includes a heat sink 5, the heat sink 5 includes a bonding surface 50 and a heat dissipation surface 51, the bonding surface 50 and the heat dissipation surface 51 are integrally formed; the bonding surface 50 is bonded to the bottom surface of the circuit board 2, and the heat dissipation surface 51 is bonded to the bottom surface of the optical device 25. Specifically, in this embodiment, the heat dissipation surface 51 is bonded to the bottom surface of the TOSA 23, and as shown in FIG. Fig.18 As shown in the dotted frame, a specific area for accommodating the heat sink 5 is specially provided on the inner side of the base 11 .

[0091] In actual application scenarios, the chips set on the circuit board 2 may include one or more of a microcontroller unit (MCU), a laser driver chip, a limiting amplifier (LimitingAmplifier), a clock and data recovery chip (Clock and Data Recovery, abbreviated as: CDR), a power management chip (Power Management Chip), and a digital signal processing (Digital Signal Processing, abbreviated as: DSP) chip.

[0092] The circuit board 2 is generally a rigid circuit board. Due to its relatively hard material, the rigid circuit board can also achieve a load-bearing function. For example, the rigid circuit board can stably carry the above-mentioned electronic components and chips.

[0093] The gold fingers of the circuit board 2 are formed on the end surface thereof. The gold fingers are composed of a plurality of independent pins. The circuit board 2 is inserted into the cage, and is electrically connected to the electrical connector in the cage by the gold fingers. The gold fingers can be arranged only on the surface of one side of the circuit board 2, or on the upper and lower surfaces of the circuit board 2 to adapt to occasions where a large number of pins are required. The gold fingers are configured to establish an electrical connection with the host computer to achieve power supply, grounding, I2C signal transmission, data signal transmission, etc. Of course, flexible circuit boards can also be used in some optical modules. Flexible circuit boards are generally used in conjunction with rigid circuit boards as a supplement to rigid circuit boards. For example, flexible circuit boards are typically used to compensate for the misalignment between the laser and / or detector in the BOSA device and the circuit board 2 after being fixed in the optical module housing.

[0094] In summary, based on the above structure, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for using an optical module that is convenient for cleaning an optical fiber interface, which is applicable to the optical module that is convenient for cleaning an optical fiber interface described in the above scheme, such as Fig.19 As shown, including:

[0097] In step S3 , the circuit board 2 and the fiber coil cover 3 are placed in the base 11 , and the optical fiber pin 20 is inserted into the optical fiber interface 110 from the inside of the base 11 .

[0098] In step S4, the upper cover 10 and the base 11 are buckled and fixed to complete the assembly.

[0099] Embodiment 2:

[0100] The embodiment of the present invention further elaborates on the packaging housing 1 and the optical module that is easy to assemble based on the embodiment 1.

Fig. 20 As shown, it comprises: a packaging shell 1 and a pull ring 6; the pull ring 6 comprises fixed arms 60 respectively processed and arranged on both sides, and the fixed arms 60 abut against both sides of the packaging shell 1.

[0102] like Fig.21 and Fig. 22As shown, the packaging shell 1 includes an upper cover 10, a base 11 and a cover plate 12, wherein the upper cover 10 and the base 11 are fixedly connected, and the cover plate 12 is clamped with the base 11; the base 11 is provided with a first fixing plane 113, and a fixing protrusion 1130 is processed and provided on the first fixing plane 113; the pull ring 6 is provided with a second fixing plane 61, and the second fixing plane 61 is located between the fixing arms 60, and the second fixing plane 61 is provided with a fixing hole 610, and the fixing hole 610 is sleeved on the fixing protrusion 1130, and the cover plate 12 covers the second fixing plane 61, and the cover plate 12 is clamped and fixed with the base 11. Among them, the first end surface 114 of the base 11 is provided with an optical fiber interface 110, and the first end surface 114 is located on the handle 62 side of the pull ring 6. In order to allow the handle 62 to move forward and backward relative to the packaging shell 1, the fixing hole 610 is a waist-shaped hole.

[0103] The fixing protrusion 1130 is sleeved with a torsion spring 7; hooks 70 are provided on both sides of the torsion spring 7, and two locking protrusions 611 are provided on the second fixing plane 61 of the pull ring 6. The locking protrusions 611 are respectively located on both sides of the fixing hole 610. When the torsion spring 7 is sleeved on the fixing protrusion 1130, the hooks 70 hook the outer sides of the locking protrusions 611. In the natural state, Fig.23a As shown, the annular portion of the torsion spring 7 is sleeved on the fixing protrusion 1130, and the horizontal arms on both sides of the annular portion for connecting the hook 70 are in a horizontal state, the hook 70 hooks the outer side of the positioning protrusion 611, and the fixing protrusion 1130 is located on the side of the fixing hole 610 close to the pull ring 6 handle 62; as shown in Figure 23, when the pull ring 6 handle 62 is pulled, the position of the fixing hole 610 moves, and the fixing protrusion 1130 moves away from the handle 62, the hook 70 continues to hook the positioning protrusion 611, and the horizontal arm connecting the hook 70 is pulled by the fixing protrusion 1130, and the two horizontal arms change from a horizontal state to a state in which the opening is at a certain angle toward the handle 62. Fig.23c As shown, a notch 6110 is provided on the side of the locking protrusion 611 facing the handle 62 , and the notch is used to prevent the hook 70 from sliding out from above the locking protrusion 611 .

[0104] In one embodiment, the torsion spring 7 has a shape other than the single ring shape shown in FIG. 23 , such as Figure 24a-Figure 24c As shown, the torsion spring 7 may also be in a double ring shape or a non-ring shape, or the hook 70 of the torsion spring 7 may be arranged toward the handle 62 of the pull ring 6 .

[0105] Different from Fig.23a and Figure 23b The scheme presented, Fig.24aIn the figure, the torsion spring 7 includes two annular parts, and correspondingly, two fixing protrusions 1130 are processed and arranged on the first fixing plane 113, and each fixing protrusion 1130 is sleeved with an annular part, so that the stability of the structure can be increased.

[0106] Different from Fig.23a and Figure 23b The scheme presented, Figure 24b In the embodiment, the torsion spring 7 is formed by bending a straight steel wire, a fixing protrusion 1130 and a limiting boss 63 are processed and arranged on the first fixing plane 113, the connection between the two horizontal arms of the torsion spring 7 is arc-shaped, the fixing protrusion 1130 and the limiting boss 63 clamp and fix the arc portion of the torsion spring 7, and the two horizontal arms of the torsion spring 7 are in a state of opening in a preset angle in the direction opposite to the handle 62 in a natural state. When the pull ring 6 is pulled, the locking protrusion 611 pulls the hook 70 to move in the pulling direction, and the opening angle of the two horizontal arms becomes larger.

[0107] Different from Figure 23b The scheme presented, Fig.24c In the embodiment, a fixing protrusion 1130 is machined and arranged on the first fixing plane 113, the torsion spring 7 includes an annular portion, the hook 70 of the torsion spring 7 is arranged toward the handle 62 of the pull ring 2, and the end of the hook 70 continues to extend outward and bend to hook the side of the positioning protrusion 611 toward the handle 62. When the pull ring 2 is pulled, the positioning protrusion 611 pulls the hook 70 to move in the pulling direction, and the two horizontal arms change from a horizontal state to a state with an opening toward the handle 62 at a certain angle.

[0108] The present invention transfers the spring structure arranged on both sides of the packaging shell 1 in the prior art to the outer surface of the packaging shell 1. While realizing the connection between the pull ring 6 and the packaging shell 1, the space inside the packaging shell 1 will not be occupied, so that the available layout space for the optical device 25 and the PCB in the packaging shell 1 is more sufficient, and the performance and function expansion of the optical module are improved as much as possible; and the torsion spring 7 is arranged on the surface of the packaging shell 1 instead of the spring to improve the assembly convenience of the structure.

[0109] According to the structure in the above scheme, in order to ensure the integrity of the scheme, the above structures will be further elaborated below.

[0110] In the above solution, the pull ring 6 includes fixed arms 60 respectively processed and arranged on both sides, and the fixed arms 60 abut against the two sides of the packaging shell 1, specifically including: Fig.25As shown, the upper cover 10 is provided with first grooves 102 for accommodating the fixed arm 60 on both sides, and the base 11 is provided with second grooves 115 for accommodating the fixed arm 60 on both sides. When the upper cover 10 and the base 11 are buckled together, the sum of the widths of the first groove 102 and the second groove 115 matches the width of the fixed arm 60. In one embodiment, Fig.26 , Fig. 27 and Fig.28 As shown, except for the protrusion at the top of the fixing arm 60, the distance between the two fixing arms 60 gradually decreases in the direction away from the handle 62, so the first groove 102 and the second groove 115 on the upper cover 10 and the base 11 also have a shape in which the depth of the depression increases.

[0111] When the optical module is placed in the switch as a whole, springs 8 are provided on both sides of the switch interface (see Fig.29 As shown) is used to lock the optical module inserted into the switch in the switch. Based on this, Fig.25 and Fig.29 As shown, the top edge of the first groove 102 is processed and provided with a first stop step 1020, and the edge of the second groove 115 is processed and provided with a second stop step 1150. The first stop step 1020 and the second stop step 1150 are located on the same horizontal line. When the optical module is inserted into the switch, the first stop step 1020 and the second stop step 1150 are used together to stop the spring piece 8 of the switch.

[0112] After the optical module is inserted, it may be necessary to maintain or replace the optical module in the later stage of use. At this time, it is necessary to lift the spring 8 that fixes the optical module, release the lock of the optical module on the switch, and take the optical module out of the switch. Fig.30 As shown, the top of the fixed arm 60 is provided with an unlocking protrusion 600. When the fixed arm 60 is located in the first groove 102 and the second groove 115 in a natural state, the lateral sides of the fixed arm 60 on both sides of the unlocking protrusion 600 abut against the first stop step 1020 and the second stop step 1150, and the height of the unlocking protrusion 600 is higher than the height of the first stop step 1020 and the second stop step 1150; wherein the unlocking protrusion 600 is smoothly connected to the main body of the fixed arm 60. Therefore, in combination with Fig.29 and Fig.31It can be seen that since the height of the unlocking protrusion 600 is higher than the heights of the first stop step 1020 and the second stop step 1150, and the spring piece 8 is in contact with the first stop step 1020 and the second stop step 1150, when the pull ring 6 is pulled, the pull ring 6 moves in the pulling direction as a whole, and the unlocking protrusion 600 also moves backward, thereby lifting the spring piece 8. Since the unlocking protrusion 600 and the main body of the fixed arm 60 are smoothly connected, that is, the unlocking protrusion 600 and the main body of the fixed arm 60 are connected in an arc shape, the spring piece 8 will be lifted upward along the smooth surface between the unlocking protrusion 600 and the main body of the fixed arm 60, separated from the optical module, and unlocking is achieved.

[0113] Based on the structure of the unlocking protrusion 600, in the preferred embodiment, by setting the unlocking protrusion 600 at the end of the fixed arm 60 of the pull ring 6, when the pull ring 6 is pulled out, the unlocking protrusion 600 can push open the spring piece 8 used by the switch to fix the optical module, making the installation and disassembly between the optical module and the switch easier and more convenient.

[0114] In order to make the fixing arm 60 fit better with the first groove 102 and the second groove 115, it is prevented that the fixing arm 60 is deformed after long-term use and cannot completely fit the groove bottom of the first groove 102 and the second groove 115. Fig.30 and Fig.32 As shown, a sink 1021 is provided on the top plane of the first groove 102, and the sink 1021 is provided close to the first stop step 1020; a limiting protrusion 601 is provided on the upper side of the fixed arm 60, and the width of the limiting protrusion 601 is smaller than the width of the sink 1021; Fig.33 As shown, when the fixed arm 60 is located in the first groove 102 and the second groove 115, the limiting protrusion 601 is located in the sunken groove 1021. Considering the requirement that the setting of the sunken groove 1021 and the limiting protrusion 601 cannot block the movement of the pull ring 6 relative to the packaging shell 1, it is mentioned in the scheme that the width of the limiting protrusion 601 is smaller than the width of the sunken groove 1021, that is, the distance that the fixed arm 60 can move relative to the packaging shell 1 is the width of the sunken groove 1021 minus the width of the limiting protrusion 601, and the width difference between the sunken groove 1021 and the limiting protrusion 601 should be able to ensure that the unlocking protrusion 600 can completely lift the spring piece 8 of the switch, so that the spring piece 8 does not contact the first stop step 1020 and the second stop step 1150.

[0115] In the above solution, it is mentioned that the cover plate 12 covers the second fixing plane 61, and the cover plate 12 is fixedly connected with the base 11 by clamping, wherein the specific method of clamping and fixing can be as follows: Fig.34 and Fig.35As shown, the cover plate 12 is provided with a plurality of lock openings 120, and the lock openings 120 are located on the side of the cover plate 12. The base 11 is provided with a plurality of lock heads 116, and the lock heads 116 are located on the side of the base 11. The lock openings 120 and the lock heads 116 are correspondingly arranged. When the lock heads 116 are located in the lock openings 120, the cover plate 12 is fixedly connected to the base 11. In one embodiment, a baffle 117 is provided on one side of the first fixing plane 113 of the base 11 close to the optical fiber interface 110, a locking head 116 is provided on the outer side of the baffle 117, a boss 118 is provided on the opposite side of the baffle 117, and a locking head 116 is provided on both sides of the boss 118; the cover plate 12 is processed to be provided with three folded side surfaces, the three folded side surfaces are respectively located on the two sides where the cover plate 12 abuts against the boss 118 and the side abutting against the outer side of the baffle 117, the locking opening 120 is respectively provided on the three folded side surfaces of the cover plate 12, when the pull ring 6 is assembled with the base 11, the torsion spring 7 is sleeved on the fixing protrusion 1130, so that the hook 70 hooks the locking protrusion 611, and after the locking opening 120 of the cover plate 12 is locked with the locking heads 116 on the baffle 117 and the boss 118, as shown in FIG. Fig.36 As shown, the inner bottom surface of the cover plate 12 abuts against the lower end of the locking protrusion 611 .

[0116] In summary, according to the structural scheme provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for using an optical module that is easy to assemble, which is applicable to the optical module that is easy to assemble described in the above scheme, including: aligning the fixing hole 610 of the pull ring 6 with the fixing protrusion 1130, so that the second fixing plane 61 abuts against the first fixing plane 113, sleeve the torsion spring 7 on the fixing protrusion 1130, so that the hooks 70 on both sides of the torsion spring 7 abut against the outer side of the locking protrusion 611, cover the cover plate 12 on the second fixing plane 61 and snap it with the base 11, fasten the upper cover 10 and the base 11 together to complete the assembly of the structure, push the pull ring 6, insert the optical module into the switch, so that the spring sheet 8 of the switch abuts against the blocking step on the base 11; when it is necessary to pull out the optical module, pull the pull ring 6, the torsion spring 7 is squeezed, and the top end of the pull ring 6 pushes open the spring sheet 8 to pull the optical module out of the switch.
