[0053] In this application, if Figure 3 、 5 As shown in Figures 6 and 7, an integrated plane mirror 1215, a convex mirror assembly, and a receiving module 311 are introduced into the module receiving seat. The integrated optical structure design allows the entire assembly process to be completed by simply controlling the precise movement of the ferrule 111 during the docking installation of the optical fiber module, thereby achieving rapid assembly and alignment, reducing the difficulty of assembly, and at the same time reducing material costs, while also providing stable reliability.

[0054] During the precise docking movement process, a clamping assembly and a fine adjustment frame are used, which can solve the problems of the existing ferrule 111 being difficult to insert and difficult to control the accuracy.

[0055] Furthermore, the clamping assembly includes two first mounting blocks 813 slidably mounted in the slide groove 220 relative to each other, and the opposite surfaces of the two first mounting blocks 813 are respectively provided with mounting shafts 816, and each mounting shaft 816 is provided with two rotatable sleeves 815, and the two sleeves 815 are correspondingly connected with two openable and closable transmission covers 814, and the cross-sections of the two transmission covers 814 are both right-angled fan-shaped structures, and a plurality of first jackets 818 are provided on the contact end surfaces of the two transmission covers 814, and the inner sides of the front and rear ends of each first jacket 818 are respectively provided with a third jacket 820 and a second jacket 819; the third jacket 820, the first jacket 818, and the second jacket 819 They are all made of flexible rubber material. When the front ends of the two transmission covers 814 are deflected inward and closed, the third jacket 820, the first jacket 818, and the second jacket 819 form a full circle and cover the outer wall of the core 111 for clamping it and forming a glue injection cavity; the fine adjustment frame is connected to a support frame 8111, and two racks 811 arranged on the support frame 8111, and teeth 812 arranged on the arc-shaped outer walls of the two transmission covers 814, and the teeth 812 are engaged with the racks 811 for transmission; and a first driving rod 5111 connected to the two first mounting blocks 813, the two first driving rods 5111 extend to the outer wall of the box seat 211 and are connected to the first hand push rod 511.

[0056] Furthermore, the fine adjustment frame includes a slide rail 711 fixed on the inner wall of the box seat 211, an end block 712 arranged at the end of the slide rail 711, and a mounting bar 713 installed in the slide rail 711 and capable of sliding horizontally, the end block 712 is used to limit the movement of the mounting bar 713 and trigger a fine adjustment signal; a ratchet 911 is slidably installed on the upper surface of the mounting bar 713, and a support frame 8111 is slidably installed on the lower surface of the mounting bar 713, and a connecting block 850 is provided at the end of the support frame 8111, the connecting block 850 is fixed to the end of the ratchet 911, and a second spring is provided between the connecting block 850 and the mounting bar 713; a ratchet assembly is arranged on the slide rail 711, the ratchet assembly includes a connecting rod 912, a ratchet block 913 arranged on the connecting rod 912 and adapted to the ratchet 911, and an elastic pressing piece 914 arranged on the slide rail 711, and both ends of the connecting rod 912 pass through the box seat 211 and are provided with handles 915.

[0057] By setting the clamping assembly and the fine adjustment frame structure, specifically, Figure 4 、 5, 6 and 7, the two symmetrical clamping assemblies gradually approach and clamp the ferrule 111 through their own deflection, and the front end of the ferrule 111 passes through the entry slot 213 and is placed between the two open and closed transmission covers 814 and extends a distance. At this time, the first hand push rod 511 is pushed to drive the two first mounting blocks 813 to move in the direction close to the plane mirror 1215 inside the slide groove 220. Preferably, damping is provided between the teeth 812 and the mounting bar 713, and between the mounting bar 713 and the slide rail 711. When the first mounting block 813 begins to be pushed, the rack 811 remains stationary due to the damping setting. Under the meshing action of the rack 811 and the teeth 812, the two transmission covers When the front end of the body 814 is deflected inward and closed, since the third jacket 820, the first jacket 818, and the second jacket 819 are all made of flexible rubber materials, and the two transmission covers 814 at the upper and lower parts are symmetrically distributed, the third jacket 820, the first jacket 818, and the second jacket 819 finally form a full circle and cover the outer wall of the ferrule 111 for clamping and forming a glue injection cavity. This clamping and wrapping method drives the alignment process of the ferrule 111, avoiding the wear of the head of the ferrule 111 itself during insertion. At the same time, this covering clamping method makes the alignment process of the ferrule 111 more accurate, effectively reducing the deformation and bending of the ferrule 111 during the advancement process.

[0058] By further setting of the fine adjustment frame structure, such as Figure 7 、 8 As shown, when the two transmission covers 814 are combined and pressed against each other, the force of pushing the first mounting block 813 will further drive the transmission cover 814, the rack 811, and the mounting bar 713 to move forward as a whole. When the mounting bar 713 contacts the end block 712, the force of the first mounting block 813 moving forward will further drive the support frame 8111 to move relative to the slide rail 711. Figure 11 As shown, under the action of the further arranged ratchet assembly, the support frame 8111 drives the ratchet 911 to move to a position close to the slide rail 711 and compresses the second spring between the connecting block 850 and the mounting bar 713. Under the joint action of the ratchet block 913, the elastic pressure piece 914 and the ratchet 911, the ferrule 111 where the transmission cover 814 is located can be fed unidirectionally and step by step. Through this precise unidirectional feeding method, rapid alignment can be achieved, reducing the difficulty of alignment.

[0059] Example 2

[0060] As another embodiment of the present invention, a storage capsule 817 is provided inside each transmission cover 814, and a photosensitive adhesive is provided in the storage capsule 817. A connecting cavity 411 is provided outside the arc-shaped contour of the transmission cover 814 corresponding to the storage capsule 817. A pressure valve assembly is provided between the storage capsule 817 and the connecting cavity 411. The pressure valve assembly includes a valve body 8171, and a mounting member 8175, a plug ball 8173, and a plug body 8172, which are sequentially arranged inside the valve body 8171. The mounting member 8175 is a cross structure, and the plug ball 8173 is connected to the mounting member 8175 by a first spring 8174. The assembly 8175 is in contact with the plug body 8172 under the action of elastic force, which is used to block the channel of the valve body 8171; and the molding module is arranged on the box seat 211, which is used to squeeze toward the position of the storage bag 817, forcing the pressure valve assembly to open for injecting glue into the connecting cavity 411; it also includes a plurality of reinforcing cavities 412 connected to the connecting cavity 411, each reinforcing cavity 412 is connected to the first jacket 818, and is used to inject glue into the glue injection cavity formed by the third jacket 820, the first jacket 818, the second jacket 819, and the core 111, and the connecting cavity 411 and the first jacket 818 are made of light-transmitting materials.

[0061] Furthermore, the molding module includes two second mounting blocks 1011 slidably mounted on the rear half of the slide groove 220 and arranged opposite to each other, and a connecting frame 1013 respectively connected to the opposite surfaces of the two second mounting blocks 1011, a pressure roller 1012 is horizontally connected between the two connecting frames 1013, which is used to squeeze the storage capsule 817 when it moves toward the transmission cover 814, and an ultraviolet lamp board 1014 is arranged on the connecting frame 1013, which emits ultraviolet rays and irradiates vertically on the reinforcement cavity 412 and the first jacket 818 for rapid curing of the photosensitive adhesive.

[0062] In this embodiment, an efficient gluing method is provided, and a storage bag 817 is further provided under the shape of the transmission cover 814, such as Figure 8 As shown, storage capsule 817 contains photosensitive adhesive, also known as light-curing adhesive or UV adhesive, which is a type of adhesive that achieves adhesion under ultraviolet light. It has the advantages of fast curing speed, high mechanical strength, low environmental pollution, long storage life, high energy utilization, and low-temperature curing capability.

[0063] Specifically, after the ferrule 111 completes the alignment step, the one-way locking of the fine adjustment frame structure position is completed mechanically under the action of the ratchet assembly, and the ferrule 111 can be pre-fixed through the covering effect of the third jacket 820, the first jacket 818, and the second jacket 819. At this time, the molding module is further pushed toward the direction of the transmission cover 814, and the pressure roller 1012 gradually approaches and squeezes the storage capsule 817. Due to the pressure valve assembly set between the storage capsule 817 and the connecting cavity 411, as shown Figure 8 、 13 As shown, when the storage capsule 817 is under pressure, the glue will squeeze the plug ball 8173 so that it is separated from the plug body 8172 and compress the first spring 8174. At this time, the corresponding valve body 8171 channel opens, and the glue enters the connecting cavity 411 and the reinforcing cavity 412 in sequence and is poured into the glue injection cavity formed by the third jacket 820, the first jacket 818, the second jacket 819, and the insert 111. After the pressure roller 1012 completely enters the transmission cover 814 to complete the glue injection of the storage capsule 817, the two ultraviolet light panels 101 at the upper and lower positions thereof are opened. 4 is placed directly above the reinforcement cavity 412, and controls the operation of the ultraviolet lamp board 1014 to emit ultraviolet rays and irradiate vertically on the reinforcement cavity 412 and the first jacket 818 for rapid curing of the photosensitive adhesive, so as to quickly fix the ferrule 111 after alignment. This process has a short curing time and eliminates the need for manual gluing. At the same time, the cured connecting cavity 411 and the reinforcement cavity 412 can form a stable connection portion of the ferrule 111, which can effectively reduce the adverse effects caused by subsequent pulling and bending, and further improve its service life.
