One side of the sealing airbag (59) is connected to the airflow groove (510). The rotating head (42) is threaded onto the outer surface of the threaded tube (52), and the top ring (43) is inserted into the inside of the sleeve groove (54).

10. A connection method for a high-stability optical fiber connection device as described in any one of claims 1-9, characterized in that: Includes the following steps: S1: Strip the outer sheath of the optical fiber to expose the fiber core and cladding, cut the optical fiber, and use an optical fiber cleaver to cut the optical fiber into a flat end face. S2: Sequentially cover the outer surfaces of the two optical fibers (6) to be connected with a sealing sleeve (5), a locking head (3) and a plug assembly (2). S3: Adjust the distance between the optical fiber (6) to be connected and the plug assembly (2). By rotating the rotating nut (32), the compression sleeve (31) is threaded onto the outer surface of the first thread (23). At this time, the side of the locking block (22) is squeezed by the tapered groove (34) and locked onto the outer surface of the optical fiber (6) to be connected, thus completing the fixation of the optical fiber (6) to be connected inside the plug assembly (2). S4: Take out the connector (1), insert the fiber core of the optical fiber (6) to be connected, which is fixed inside the plug assembly (2), into the inside of the fixing frame (11), so that the fiber cores of the optical fibers (6) to be connected at both ends of the fixing frame (11) are in contact with each other inside the fixing frame (11), and keep the fiber cores of the optical fibers (6) to be connected at both ends in a certain bent state. At this time, the plug block (24) is inserted into the inside of the support sleeve (12). The plug block (24) deforms and, through its own reaction force, makes the locking block ( 25) The push rod (26) is inserted into the inside of the snap-fit ​​groove (14) and pushes the sliding blocks (15) on both sides of the fixing frame (11) to move towards each other, squeezing the two ends of the spring sheet (18). The spring sheet (18) deforms and is squeezed to the side of the fiber core of the optical fiber (6) to be connected through the through groove on the side of the sliding groove (17). As the spring sheet (18) deforms, the auxiliary ball (110) moves to both sides and assists the side of the fiber core to maintain the stability of the fiber core. S5: Move the auxiliary head (51) to the side of the locking head (3), so that the compression springs (53) at both ends are pressed against the side of the locking head (3), and by rotating the rotating head (42), the rotating head (42) is threaded onto the outer surface of the threaded tube (52). At the same time, the top ring (43) pushes the movable airbag (55) inside the socket groove (54), so that the support spring (56) is compressed. The gas inside the movable airbag (55) enters the interior of the sealing airbag (59) through the airflow groove (510). The sealing airbag (59) expands and wraps the outer surface of the optical fiber (6) to be connected, forming a seal.
