A cavity located at the bottom of the positioning hole is provided on the inner column. A guide groove is provided on the sleeve.

[0021] See also Figure 1-14An optical cable hierarchical connector provided by an embodiment of the present invention comprises a first connector 1 and a second connector 2. The first plug and the second plug need to be plugged together. The first connector 1 comprises a sleeve 1.1, a non-cylindrical guide rod 1.2 slidably connected to the sleeve 1.1, a plurality of coaxially sleeved annular members 1.3 and a first elastic member 1.4. Adjacent annular members 1.3 are slidably connected along the axial direction. The outermost annular member 1.3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sleeve 1.1. The innermost annular member 1.3 is fixedly sleeved on the guide rod 1.2. A plurality of ceramic pins 1.5 are arranged on the end surface of each annular member 1.3 facing the outlet of the sleeve 1.1. Each ceramic pin 1.5 is connected to an optical fiber branch (not shown in the figure). The process of restoring the deformation of the first elastic member 1.4 drives the annular members 1.3 to slide and displace relative to each other into a tower shape, such as Figure 1-3 The first elastic member 1.4 is preferably a first compression spring, which is movably sleeved on the guide rod 1.2, one end of the first compression spring abuts against the innermost annular member 1.3, and the other end abuts against the partition 1.8 on the sleeve 1.1, the partition 1.8 is fixedly connected in the sleeve 1.1, and a plurality of through holes for the optical fiber branches to pass through are provided on the partition 1.8; in this embodiment, the number of coaxially sleeved annular members 1.3 is three, the inner wall of the middle annular member 1.3 is slidably connected to the peripheral side of the innermost annular member 1.3, and the peripheral side of the middle annular member 1.3 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the outermost annular member 1.3. The second connector 2 includes an inner column 2.1, and the end surface of the inner column 2.1 is provided with a positioning hole 2.2 corresponding to the guide rod 1.2 and a plurality of jacks 2.3 corresponding to each ceramic pin 1.5. During the mutual plugging process of the sleeve 1.1 of the first joint 1 and the inner column 2.1 of the second joint 2, the guide rod 1.2 is first inserted into the positioning hole 2.2, and then each ring member 1.3 approaches the inner column 2.1 in turn to allow each ceramic pin 1.5 to be inserted into the corresponding plug hole 2.3 in batches.
[0022] The present invention provides an optical cable graded connector. During the mutual plugging process of the sleeve 1.1 of the first connector 1 and the inner column 2.1 of the second connector 2, the guide rod 1.2 is first inserted into the positioning hole 2.2, and then the annular members 1.3 approach the inner column 2.1 in turn to allow the ceramic pins 1.5 to be inserted into the corresponding plug holes 2.3 in batches, thereby greatly reducing the resistance during the plugging of the first connector 1 and the second connector 2. The plugging can be completed with a smaller plugging force, and the plugging feel is better. At the same time, the phenomenon of uneven force and deflection of the ceramic pins 1.5 during the plugging process can be significantly reduced, thereby reducing the insertion loss.
[0023] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a first locking mechanism 1.6 is provided between each adjacent two ring members 1.3. Among the three ring members 1.3 in this embodiment, a first locking mechanism 1.6 is provided between the middle ring member 1.3 and the innermost ring member 1.3, and another first locking mechanism 1.6 is provided between the middle ring member 1.3 and the outermost ring member 1.3. When the elastic force of the first elastic member 1.4 is released to make the ring members 1.3 slide and displace relative to each other into a tower shape, each first locking mechanism 1.6 is automatically locked. When the ceramic pin 1.5 on the innermost ring member 1.3 is inserted into the corresponding socket 2.3, the first locking mechanism 1.6 between the innermost ring member 1.3 and the middle ring member 1.3 is triggered to unlock. Figure 4-6 Then, each ceramic pin 1.5 on the middle ring member 1.3 can be inserted into the corresponding socket 2.3, and the first locking mechanism 1.6 between the middle ring member 1.3 and the outermost ring member 1.3 is triggered to unlock. Figure 7-9 , so that each ceramic pin 1.5 on the outermost ring member 1.3 can be inserted into the corresponding socket 2.3, the end faces of each ring member 1.3 are aligned, and all ceramic pins 1.5 are inserted into the corresponding socket 2.3 on the inner column 2.1, such as Figure 10-13Specifically, for the first locking mechanism 1.6 between any two adjacent ring members 1.3, the first locking mechanism 1.6 includes a latch pin 1.61, a second elastic member 1.62, a wedge block 1.63 and a slide bar 1.64. The latch pin 1.61 is slidably arranged on the inner ring member 1.3 in an embedded manner, and the sliding direction is a radial direction of the ring member 1.3. A lock hole 1.65 adapted to the latch pin 1.61 is arranged on the inner wall of the outer ring member 1.3. When the two ring members 1.3 are in a state of sliding dislocation, the second elastic member 1.62 restores its deformation to drive the latch pin 1.61 to slide into the lock hole 1.65. The second elastic member 1.62 is preferably a second compression spring, and a first end of the second compression spring abuts against the latch pin 1.61, and the other end abuts against the inner ring member 1.3. The wedge block 1.63 is fixedly connected to the latch pin 1.61, and the slide bar 1.64 is fixedly connected to the latch pin 1.61. The slide bar 1.64 is fixedly connected to the inner ring member 1.3. The rod 1.2 is slidably connected to the inner ring member 1.3 in the length direction, one end of the pin 1.61 is slidably connected to the inclined surface of the wedge block 1.63, and the other end protrudes from the end surface of the inner ring member 1.3 close to the inner column 2.1. When the ceramic pins 1.5 on the inner ring member 1.3 are inserted into the corresponding sockets 2.3 on the inner column 2.1, the sliding rod 1.64 abuts against the inner column 2.1, so that the sliding rod 1.64 slides relative to the inner ring member 1.3, and the sliding rod 1.64 and the wedge block 1.63 slide and cooperate, so that the pin 1.61 overcomes the elastic force of the second elastic member 1.62 and slides out of the lock hole 1.65, and the sleeve 1.1 of the first joint 1 is continuously applied with the plugging force, so that the outer ring member 1.3 slides relative to the inner ring member 1.3, so that each ceramic pin 1.5 on the outer ring member 1.3 is inserted into the corresponding sockets 2.3 on the inner column 2.1.
[0024] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a second locking mechanism 1.7 is provided between the guide rod 1.2 and the inner column 2.1. Before all the ceramic pins 1.5 on the annular member 1.3 are inserted into the corresponding sockets 2.3, the second locking structure is unlocked. After all the ceramic pins 1.5 on the annular member 1.3 are inserted into the corresponding sockets 2.3, the second locking mechanism 1.7 is triggered to lock, thereby locking the guide rod 1.2 and the inner column 2.1, that is, locking the first joint 1 and the second joint 2. Specifically, the second locking mechanism 1.7 includes a locking block 1.71, a third elastic member 1.73 and an operating rod 1.74. The locking block 1.71 is rotatably connected to the outer end of the guide rod 1.2 through a central rotating shaft 1.72. The central rotating shaft 1.72 is fixedly connected to the locking block 1.71 and is rotatably connected to the guide rod 1.2. The locking block 1.71 has an unlocking position that completely overlaps with the guide rod 1.2 and a locking position that is misaligned with the guide rod 1.2 in the rotation stroke relative to the guide rod 1.2. The process of the third elastic member 1.73 restoring its deformation drives the locking block 1.71 to rotate from the unlocking position to the locking position. The third elastic member 1.73 is preferably a torsion spring, which is movably sleeved on the central rotating shaft 1.72, and one end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to the central rotating shaft 1.72 The other end is fixedly connected to the guide rod 1.2; the operating rod 1.74 is fixedly connected to the end of the central shaft 1.72 away from the locking block 1.71, the operating rod 1.74 is perpendicular to the central shaft 1.72, the inner column 2.1 is provided with a cavity 2.4 located at the bottom of the positioning hole 2.2, the sleeve 1.1 is provided with a guide groove 1.75, the guide groove 1.75 includes a connected straight groove 1.751 and an annular groove 1.752, the straight groove 1.751 is parallel to the axial direction of the sleeve 1.1, the annular groove 1.752 is distributed along the circumference of the sleeve 1.1, the annular groove 1.752 is located at the end of the straight groove 1.751 away from the locking block 1.71, the operating rod 1.74 passes through the guide groove 1.75 to the outside of the sleeve 1.1, and the end of the operating rod 1.74 located outside the sleeve 1.1 is the operating end.
[0025] Among the three annular members 1.3 in this embodiment, before the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 are plugged in, the three annular members 1.3 maintain a tower shape, the operating rod 1.74 is located at the end of the straight groove 1.751 close to the end away from the annular groove 1.752, the straight groove 1.751 restricts the rotation of the operating rod 1.74, the torsion spring is in a force storage state, the two first locking mechanisms 1.6 are in a locked state, and the second locking mechanism 1.7 is in an unlocked state. Figure 1-2During the plugging process between the first connector 1 and the second connector 2, when the locking block 1.71 and the guide rod 1.2 are inserted into the positioning hole 2.2 and the ceramic pin 1.5 on the innermost ring member 1.3 is inserted into the corresponding plug hole 2.3, the locking block 1.71 just passes through the positioning hole 2.2 and enters the cavity 2.4, that is, the side of the locking block 1.71 close to the guide rod 1.2 is located at the junction of the positioning hole 2.2 and the cavity 2.4, and the first locking mechanism 1.6 between the innermost ring member 1.3 and the middle ring member 1.3 is unlocked, as shown in FIG. Figure 4-5 Then, each ceramic pin 1.5 on the middle ring member 1.3 is inserted into the corresponding socket 2.3, and the first locking mechanism 1.6 between the middle ring member 1.3 and the outermost ring member 1.3 is unlocked, and the first compression spring is further compressed, and the operating rod 1.74 is located in the middle of the straight groove 1.751, and the straight groove 1.751 limits the rotation of the operating rod 1.74, such as Figure 7-8 When the ceramic pins 1.5 on the outermost annular member 1.3 can be inserted into the corresponding sockets 2.3, that is, all the ceramic pins 1.5 are inserted into the corresponding sockets 2.3 on the inner column 2.1, the first compression spring is further compressed again, and the operating rod 1.74 moves relatively to the junction of the straight groove 1.751 and the annular groove 1.752. At this time, the straight groove 1.751 can no longer limit the rotation of the operating rod 1.74, and the elastic force accumulated in the torsion spring is released, so that the operating rod 1.74, the central shaft 1.72 and the locking block 1.71 rotate together. The operating rod 1.74 moves along the annular groove 1.752 until it is blocked at one end of the annular groove 1.752 away from the straight groove 1.751, and the locking block 1.71 is rotated from the unlocking position to the locking position, that is, the locking block 1.71 is rotated and misaligned relative to the positioning hole 2.2, and the side of the locking block 1.71 close to the guide rod 1.2 is abutted and blocked by the junction of the positioning hole 2.2 and the cavity 2.4. Even if the first joint 1 and the second joint 2 are pulled out, the locking block 1.71 will not enter the positioning hole 2.2, so that automatic locking is achieved after the first joint 1 and the second joint 2 are plugged in. When unlocking, it is necessary to overcome the elastic force of the torsion spring, and rotate the operating rod 1.74 through the operating end to make the operating rod 1.74 move along the annular groove 1.752 to the intersection of the annular groove 1.752 and the straight groove 1.751. The operating rod 1.74 drives the locking block 1.71 to rotate and reset from the locking position to the unlocking position through the central rotating shaft 1.72. At this time, the first joint 1 and the second joint 2 can be pulled apart.
