[0026] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a butterfly optical cable with a connection structure includes an optical cable 1, wherein the optical cable 1 is provided with a first connector 2, wherein the first connector 2 is provided with a first connecting mechanism, wherein the first connector 2 is provided with a connecting groove 3, wherein the connecting groove 3 is provided with a connecting piece, wherein the first connector 2 is detachably connected to a second connector 4 via the connecting piece, and wherein the second connector 4 is provided with a second connecting mechanism at a position away from the first connecting mechanism.

[0027] The first connector 2 and the second connector 4 are connected by the provided connecting piece, so as to fix the optical cable 1, so as to avoid axial displacement between the cable 1 and the plug when subjected to external force, which may cause poor connection. The optical cable 1 is fixed by the provided second connecting mechanism, so as to avoid separation between the cable 1 and the plug when being dragged, which may cause connection interruption. The optical cable 1 is bent by the provided first connecting mechanism, so that the optical cable 1 has a certain reserved length, which can reduce the influence on the connection of the optical cable 1 when the optical cable 1 is dragged, and the first connecting mechanism can fix the optical cable 1 during the reserved process of dragging the optical cable 1, so as to further avoid separation between the optical cable 1 and the plug, which may cause connection interruption.

[0028] In one embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, the connecting member includes a sliding rod 5 slidably connected to the connecting groove 3, one end of the sliding rod 5 extending outside the connecting groove 3 is fixedly connected to a pressing block 6, one end of the sliding rod 5 away from the pressing block 6 is hinged to a connecting rod 7, one end of the connecting rod 7 away from the sliding rod 5 is fixedly connected to a clamping block 8, one end of the clamping block 8 away from the sliding rod 5 is hinged to the first connecting head 2, one end of the sliding rod 5 away from the pressing block 6 is fixedly connected to a first spring 9, and the other end of the first spring 9 is located in the connecting groove 3 and fixedly connected to the first connecting head 2.

[0029] When the first connector 2 and the second connector 4 are connected, the first connector 2 is inserted into the second connector 4, and one end of the second connector 4 squeezes the block 8, so that the block 8 enters the connecting groove 3. When the first connector 2 is in place, under the action of the first spring 9, the sliding rod 5 moves, and the movement of the sliding rod 5 drives the connecting rod 7 to rotate, and the rotation of the connecting rod 7 drives the block 8 to rotate, and the block 8 rotates into the slot 23 provided on the second connector 4, so that the first connector 2 and the second connector 4 are fixed, so as to avoid axial displacement of the optical cable 1 and the plug when the optical cable 1 is subjected to external force, resulting in poor connection.

[0030] In one embodiment, Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, the first connecting mechanism includes a rotating shaft 10 which is symmetrically connected to the first connecting head 2 for rotation, a supporting roller 11 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 10 at a position away from the central axis, a supporting groove 12 is provided on the supporting roller 11, a sliding groove 13 is provided at a position of the first connecting head 2 close to the rotating shaft 10, a push rod 14 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 13, a pushing rod 15 is fixedly connected to one end of the push rod 14 close to the supporting roller 11, an installation groove 16 is provided at the first connecting head 2 away from the pushing rod 15, a pushing ring 17 is slidably connected in the installation groove 16, a first fixed rod 18 is hingedly arranged in an array at one end of the installation groove 16 away from the pushing rod 15, a second spring 19 is fixedly connected between the first fixed rod 18 and the first connecting head 2, and a gear 20 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 10 away from the supporting roller 11.

[0031] The second spring 19 keeps the first fixing rod 18 at a position away from the axis of the first connector 2, so that the optical cable 1 is located between the first fixing rods 18, which is convenient for fixing the optical cable 1. During the connection between the first connector 2 and the second connector 4, the rack 24 is meshed with the gear 20 and drives the gear 20 to rotate. The rotation of the gear 20 drives the rotating shaft 10 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft 10 drives the supporting roller 11 to rotate. Because the supporting roller 11 and the rotating shaft 10 are eccentric structures, when the rotating shaft 10 drives the supporting roller 11 to rotate, the supporting roller 11 drives the optical cable 1 to bend, so that the optical cable 1 is in the first There is a certain reserved length in the connector 2. When being dragged, the reserved optical cable 1 is straightened. In the process of straightening the optical cable 1, the optical cable 1 drives the support roller 11 to rotate. The rotation of the support roller 11 makes the support roller 11 abut against the pushing rod 15, and drives the pushing rod 15 to move. The movement of the pushing rod 15 drives the top rod 14 to move. The movement of the top rod 14 drives the pushing ring 17 to move. The movement of the pushing ring 17 and the first fixing rod 18 move, so that the first fixing rod 18 fixes the optical cable 1 to prevent the optical cable 1 from continuing to move and to prevent the optical cable 1 from separating from the plug, causing the connection to be interrupted.

[0033] During the connection between the first connector 2 and the second connector 4, the fixing groove 25 provided on the first connector 2 is connected to the second fixing rod 21. When continuing to move, the first connector 2 drives the second fixing rod 21 to move, so that the second fixing rod 21 fixes the optical cable 1 to avoid the optical cable 1 being separated from the plug when being dragged, causing the connection to be interrupted. The third spring 22 keeps the second fixing rod 21 at a position away from the axis of the second connector 4, ensuring that when the optical cable 1 moves into the second connector 4, it can be located between the second fixing rods 21, thereby facilitating the fixation of the optical cable 1.

[0034] In one embodiment, Figure 7 As shown, the rack 24 is meshed with the gear 20 , and when the first connector 2 and the second connector 4 are connected, the rack 24 can drive the gear 20 to rotate.

[0035] In one embodiment, Figure 7 As shown, the gear 20 is a half gear 20, so that when the optical cable 1 is pulled, the gear 20 can be driven to rotate in the direction without teeth, so that the support roller 11 contacts the push rod 15 and drives the push rod 15 to move.

[0036] In one embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, one end of the push rod 14 extending into the installation groove 16 abuts against the push ring 17 , and when the push rod 14 moves, it can drive the push ring 17 to move, thereby allowing the first fixing rod 18 to fix the optical cable 1 .

[0037] In one embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the push rod 15 abuts against a position of the support roller 11 away from the support groove 12, so that the support roller 11 drives the push rod 15 to move when rotating.

[0038] In one embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, one end of the block 8 away from the sliding rod 5 is located outside the connecting groove 3, so that the block 8 can enter the groove 23 under the action of the first spring 9 to fix the first connector 2 and the second connector 4.

[0039] In one embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, a fixing groove 25 is provided at a position corresponding to the first connector 2 and the second fixing rod 21. The fixing groove 25 is arranged in a slope, which facilitates the second fixing rod 21 to enter the fixing groove 25, so that the first connector 2 drives the second fixing rod 21 to fix the optical cable 1.
