[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of optical module packaging, and in particular to a temperature control coupling tool for an optical component. Background Art
[0002] With the development of new services and application models such as cloud computing, mobile Internet, and video, the advancement of optical communication technology has become increasingly important. In optical communication technology, optical modules, as one of the key components in optical communication equipment, can realize the conversion of optical and electrical signals. In the development of optical communication technology, the data transmission rate of optical modules is required to be continuously improved.
[0003] An optical module generally includes a circuit board, an optical transmitter component and / or an optical receiver component. The optical transmitter component and / or the optical receiver component are generally installed on the circuit board. The laser of the optical transmitter component generates heat when working. Since there is no temperature control device on the circuit board, the heat generated by the laser causes the internal temperature of the optical module to rise, which can easily affect the coupling yield of the optical device due to excessive temperature. Traditional methods often use aluminum and copper tooling to directly contact the optical device for heat dissipation.
[0004] However, the heat dissipation method of using aluminum and copper tooling to contact optical devices is mostly passive heat dissipation, which is accompanied by problems such as long heat dissipation time and poor heat dissipation effect, making it impossible to obtain the most effective solution to the heat dissipation of optical components.

[0059] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings to clearly and in detail describe the technical solutions in some embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments provided by the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary operators in the field are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
[0060] In optical communication technology, in order to establish information transmission between information processing devices, it is necessary to load information onto light and use the propagation of light to achieve information transmission. Here, the light loaded with information is an optical signal. When optical signals are transmitted in information transmission equipment, the loss of optical power can be reduced, so high-speed, long-distance, and low-cost information transmission can be achieved. The signals that information processing equipment can recognize and process are electrical signals. Information processing equipment usually includes optical network terminals (Optical Network Unit, ONU), gateways, routers, switches, mobile phones, computers, servers, tablets, televisions, etc., and information transmission equipment usually includes optical fibers and optical waveguides.
[0061] The optical module can realize the mutual conversion between optical signals and electrical signals between information processing equipment and information transmission equipment. For example, at least one of the optical signal input end or the optical signal output end of the optical module is connected to an optical fiber, and at least one of the electrical signal input end or the electrical signal output end of the optical module is connected to an optical network terminal; the first optical signal from the optical fiber is transmitted to the optical module, and the optical module converts the first optical signal into a first electrical signal, and transmits the first electrical signal to the optical network terminal; the second electrical signal from the optical network terminal is transmitted to the optical module, and the optical module converts the second electrical signal into a second optical signal, and transmits the second optical signal to the optical fiber. Since multiple information processing devices can transmit information through electrical signals, at least one of the multiple information processing devices needs to be directly connected to the optical module, and all information processing devices do not need to be directly connected to the optical module. Here, the information processing device directly connected to the optical module is called the upper computer of the optical module. In addition, the optical signal input end or the optical signal output end of the optical module can be called an optical port, and the electrical signal input end or the electrical signal output end of the optical module can be called an electrical port.
[0062] Figure 1 is a structural diagram of an optical module provided according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, Figure 2 FIG. 1 is an exploded view of an optical module provided according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the optical module includes a shell, a circuit board 300 disposed in the shell, an optical emitting component 400, an optical receiving component 500 and a pigtail. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the optical module includes one of the optical emitting component 400 and the optical receiving component 500.
[0063] The housing comprises an upper housing 201 and a lower housing 202 . The upper housing 201 covers the lower housing 202 to form the housing having two openings 204 and 205 . The outer contour of the housing is generally a square body.
[0064] In some embodiments, the lower shell 202 includes a bottom plate 2021 and two lower side plates 2022 located on both sides of the bottom plate 2021 and arranged perpendicular to the bottom plate 2021; the upper shell 201 includes a cover plate 2011, and the cover plate 2011 covers the two lower side plates 2022 of the lower shell 202 to form the above-mentioned shell.
[0065] In some embodiments, the lower shell 202 includes a bottom plate 2021 and two lower side plates 2022 located on both sides of the bottom plate 2021 and vertically arranged with the bottom plate 2021; the upper shell 201 includes a cover plate 2011 and two upper side plates located on both sides of the cover plate 2011 and vertically arranged with the cover plate 2011, and the two upper side plates are combined with the two lower side plates 2022 to realize that the upper shell 201 covers the lower shell 202.
[0066] The direction of the connection line of the two openings 204 and 205 may be consistent with the length direction of the optical module, or may be inconsistent with the length direction of the optical module. For example, the opening 204 is located at the end of the optical module ( Figure 1 The opening 205 is also located at the end of the optical module ( Figure 1 Alternatively, the opening 204 is located at the end of the optical module, and the opening 205 is located at the side of the optical module. The opening 204 is an electrical port, and the gold finger of the circuit board 300 extends from the electrical port and is inserted into the electrical connector of the host computer 100; the opening 205 is an optical port, which is configured to access an external optical fiber so that the optical fiber connects the optical emitting component 400 and the optical receiving component 500 in the optical module.
[0067] In some embodiments, the optical module further includes an unlocking component 600 located outside its housing. The unlocking component 600 is configured to achieve a fixed connection between the optical module and the host computer 100, or to release the fixed connection between the optical module and the host computer 100.
[0068] The circuit board 300 includes circuit traces, electronic components and chips, etc. The electronic components and chips are connected according to the circuit design through the circuit traces to realize the functions of power supply, electrical signal transmission and grounding. The electronic components may include capacitors, resistors, transistors, metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor, MOSFET). The chip may include a microcontroller unit (Microcontroller Unit, MCU), a laser driver chip, a transimpedance amplifier (Transimpedance Amplifier, TIA), a limiting amplifier (Limiting Amplifier, LA), a clock and data recovery chip (Clock and Data Recovery, CDR), a power management chip, and a digital signal processing (Digital Signal Processing, DSP) chip.
[0069] The circuit board 300 is generally a rigid circuit board. Due to its relatively hard material, the rigid circuit board can also realize the load-bearing function. For example, the rigid circuit board can stably carry the above-mentioned electronic components and chips; the rigid circuit board can also be inserted into the electrical connector in the cage of the host computer.
[0070] The circuit board 300 also includes a gold finger formed on the end surface thereof, and the gold finger is composed of a plurality of independent pins. The circuit board 300 is inserted into the cage, and the gold finger is connected to the electrical connector in the cage. The gold finger can be provided on the surface of only one side of the circuit board 300 (for example, Figure 2The upper surface shown in the figure) can also be set on the upper and lower surfaces of the circuit board 300 to provide a larger number of pins, so as to adapt to occasions where the number of pins is large. The gold finger is configured to establish an electrical connection with the host computer to achieve power supply, grounding, two-wire synchronous serial (Inter-Integrated Circuit, I2C) signal transmission, data signal transmission, etc. Of course, flexible circuit boards are also used in some optical modules. Flexible circuit boards are generally used in conjunction with rigid circuit boards to supplement rigid circuit boards.
[0071] In some embodiments, the light emitting component 400 and the light receiving component 500 may be directly disposed on the circuit board 300. For example, the light emitting component 400 and the light receiving component 500 may be disposed on the surface of the circuit board 300 or on the side of the circuit board 300.
[0072] The optical emitting component 400 generally includes optical components such as a laser and a lens. The laser can be connected to the circuit board 300 by wiring to drive the laser to generate a laser beam. The laser needs to be optically coupled with the lens, and the lens is optically coupled with the pigtail. In this way, the laser beam is coupled to the pigtail via the lens to realize light emission.
[0073] However, a large amount of heat is generated when the laser is working, and the heat will be conducted to the circuit board 300. Since there are no temperature control components on the circuit board 300, the temperature of the circuit board 300 will rise. When the optical components such as the laser, lens, and pigtail on the circuit board 300 are coupled, the temperature of the circuit board 300 is too high, which may cause the optical components to deform, affecting the coupling yield of the optical components, increasing the return rate during the production of the optical module, affecting the pass rate, and causing a waste of manpower costs. At the same time, there will also be problems such as the product quality cannot be effectively guaranteed.
[0074] In response to the above problems, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a temperature control coupling tool for an optical component, which adopts an external active temperature control technical method to solve the problem of poor coupling of optical components caused by excessive temperature of the circuit board due to the heat generated by the operation of the optical component, so as to improve the production yield of the optical module.

The slide mechanism 20 is installed on the base 10. The slide mechanism 20 can be adjusted in the Y-axis direction, the X-axis direction, the TY rotation and the TZ rotation. The carrier mechanism 30 is installed on the slide mechanism 20. The slide mechanism 20 drives the carrier mechanism 30 to adjust the position in different directions; the dynamic pressure block mechanism 50 is fixedly connected to the carrier mechanism 30, and the dynamic pressure block mechanism 50 cooperates with the carrier mechanism 30 to fix the light emitting component 400. After the light emitting component 400 is fixed, the position of the light emitting component 400 is adjusted by the slide mechanism 20 to facilitate the optical coupling of the light emitting component 400 and the pigtail; the heat dissipation mechanism 40 is fixedly connected to the carrier mechanism 30, and the heat dissipation mechanism 40 is located below the circuit board 300, so that the heat dissipation mechanism 40 is used to dissipate the heat of the circuit board 300. In this way, the heat generated by the light emitting component 400 is transferred to the circuit board 300, and the heat dissipation mechanism 40 dissipates the heat of the circuit board 300, thereby avoiding the problem of poor coupling of optical components caused by the excessive temperature of the circuit board 300.

Fig.14 and Fig.15 As shown, a notch 304 is formed on the fixed base 301 , and the notch 304 extends from the side surface of the fixed base 301 toward the central axis direction of the fixed base 301 , so that an L-shaped notch is formed on the fixed base 301 .
[0108] The fixed base 301 is also formed with a mounting hole 306, a first mounting surface 316 and a second mounting surface 315. The mounting hole 306 passes through the fixed base 301. The upper portion of the mounting hole 306 may be a square hole, and the lower portion of the mounting hole 306 may be a round hole. An opening is formed on one side of the mounting hole 306. The mounting hole 306 is connected to the notch 304 through the opening to facilitate the connection between the heat dissipation mechanism 40 and the fixed base 301.
[0109] The first mounting surface 316 surrounds the mounting hole 306, and the heat transfer sheet 312 is fixedly mounted on the first mounting surface 316 so that the heat transfer sheet 312 covers the mounting hole 306. A portion of the heat dissipation mechanism 40 is inserted into the mounting hole 306 so that the heat dissipation mechanism 40 is close to the heat transfer sheet 312, thereby dissipating heat from the heat transfer sheet 312 through the heat dissipation mechanism 40.

After the circuit board 300 is placed on the heat transfer sheet 312, the light emitting component 400 is limited in the Y-axis direction by the first limiting member 310 to ensure that the circuit board 300 is installed and fixed.
[0112] The first stopper 310 includes an assembly surface 3102, which is fixedly mounted on the second mounting surface 315, so as to fix the first stopper 310 on the fixed base 301. Since the heat transfer sheet 312 is located below the first stopper 310, in order to prevent the first stopper 310 from affecting the installation of the heat transfer sheet 312, a recess is formed on the assembly surface 3102 of the first stopper 310, and the heat transfer sheet 312 is avoided by the recess.
[0113] The end face of one side of the first limiting member 310 is a limiting surface 3101, which is an inclined surface. After the circuit board 300 is placed on the heat transfer sheet 312, the limiting surface 3101 contacts the tube shell of the light emitting component 400, so that the limiting surface 3101 presses against the tube shell to limit the light emitting component 400 in the Y-axis direction.
[0114] After the light emitting component 400 is limited in the Y-axis direction by the first limiting member 310 , in order to fix the light emitting component 400 , the light emitting component 400 also needs to be limited in the X-axis direction.

The tube shell of the light emitting component 400 is against the first limiting plate 3090 to limit the light emitting component 400 in the X-axis direction.
[0117] An avoidance groove 3092 is formed on the first limiting plate 3090 , and the optical fiber connector connected to the light emitting component 400 is located in the avoidance groove 3092 so that the optical fiber connector is supported by the first limiting plate 3090 .
[0118] In some embodiments, the angle between the first limit plate 3090 and the second limit plate 3091 is not limited to 90°. As long as the difference between the angle between the first limit plate 3090 and the second limit plate 3091 and 90° is within a preset range, the first limit plate 3090 and the second limit plate 3091 can be considered to be perpendicular.
[0119] In some embodiments, the first limiting plate 3090 and the second limiting plate 3091 may not be perpendicular. For example, the first limiting plate 3090 is tilted, and the angle between the first limiting plate 3090 and the second limiting plate 3091 is an acute angle, or the angle between the first limiting plate 3090 and the second limiting plate 3091 is an obtuse angle, as long as the first limiting plate 3090 can limit the light emitting component 400 in the X-axis direction.

The second limiting plate 3091 is fixedly installed on the third mounting surface 302, and the first limiting plate 3090 abuts against the connecting surface between the third mounting surface 302 and the first mounting surface 316, so that the second limiting member 309 limits the light emitting component 400 in the X-axis direction.
[0121] In some embodiments, after placing the circuit board 300 on the heat transfer sheet 312, since the heat transfer sheet 312 is in contact with the fixed base 301, after the heat of the circuit board 300 is transferred to the heat transfer sheet 312, the heat of the heat transfer sheet 312 will be transferred to the fixed base 301, and the fixed base 301 may transfer the heat to the circuit board 300 again, which will affect the heat dissipation of the circuit board 300 by the heat dissipation mechanism 40.

The light emitting component 400 is limited by the first limiting piece 310, but the light emitting component 400 may move to the side away from the first limiting piece 310. Therefore, the dynamic pressure block mechanism 50 is located on the side of the light emitting component 400 away from the first limiting piece 310. The light emitting component 400 is limited by the dynamic pressure block mechanism 50, so that the dynamic pressure block mechanism 50 and the first limiting piece 310 cooperate to clamp and fix the light emitting component 400.

The dynamic pressure block 507 slides back and forth along the linear guide rail 508 under the action of the spring force to adjust the distance between the dynamic pressure block 507 and the light emitting component 400, so as to facilitate the dynamic pressure block 507 to press against the light emitting component 400.
[0134] Reference Fig.14 A first baffle 305 and a second baffle 307 are provided on the fixed base 301. The first baffle 305 is the side wall of the notch 304. The first baffle 305 and the second baffle 307 protrude from the top surface of the fixed base 301.

[0138] After the light emitting component 400 is locked and fixed by the stage mechanism 30 and the dynamic pressure block mechanism 50, the pigtail needs to be fixed in order to achieve optical coupling between the light emitting component 400 and the pigtail.

The pigtail fixing block 603 can move back and forth along the second adjustment hole 602 to adjust the position of the pigtail fixing block 603 on the fixing plate 601, so as to adapt to different pigtail adapters.

[0143] Since there are no temperature control components on the circuit board 300 , after the circuit board 300 is locked and fixed by the stage mechanism 30 and the dynamic pressure block mechanism 50 , the circuit board 300 needs to be cooled by the external heat dissipation mechanism 40 .
