[0065] An embodiment of the present invention provides a snap-type fiber optic connection device and a fiber optic wiring method, which are used to solve the technical problems that the traditional fiber optic connection method cannot ensure connection accuracy, and there are connection errors and data transmission caused by improper operation or unstable connection.
[0066] In order to make the objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0067] Please refer to Figures 1-8, a snap - type optical fiber connection device provided by the present invention includes a device board 1; the device board 1 is provided with an optical fiber connector 2 and an optical fiber adapter 3; a connection component is arranged between the optical fiber connector 2 and the optical fiber adapter 3; a snap - locking component is arranged between the outer sides of the optical fiber connector 2 and the optical fiber adapter 3; positioning and moving components are arranged at the bottoms of both the optical fiber connector 2 and the optical fiber adapter 3; the positioning and moving components are used to drive the optical fiber connector 2 and the optical fiber adapter 3 to move on the device board 1.
[0068] It should be noted that the positioning and moving components drive the optical fiber adapter 3 and the optical fiber connector 2 to move coaxially and towards each other on the device board 1, and the optical fiber adapter 3 and the optical fiber connector 2 are electrically connected through the connection component; the optical fiber adapter 3 and the optical fiber connector 2 are limitedly connected through the snap - locking component; the connection and wiring of the optical fiber connector 2 and the optical fiber adapter 3 are completed. The snap - locking component with a snap - type design makes the optical fiber connection more convenient and fast, without the need for additional tools or rotational operations, saving connection time and improving work efficiency. The elastic - structured optical fiber connector can be pressed open and docked with the optical fiber end face inside the socket to ensure accurate connection, reducing the connection error rate and maintenance cost. A positioning structure is provided between the optical fiber adapter 3 and the optical fiber connector 2 to ensure the stability and reliability of the connection, reducing the risk of network failures caused by unstable connections. The snap - type optical fiber connection device is easy to operate, does not require too much human intervention, reduces the risk of equipment damage caused by accidental operations, has a reasonable structure design, is convenient for replacing and adjusting the connection method, and improves the flexibility and scalability of the network; it solves the technical problems that the traditional optical fiber connection method cannot ensure connection accuracy and there are connection errors and data transmission caused by improper operation or unstable connection.
[0069] One side of both the optical fiber connector 2 and the optical fiber adapter 3 is connected with a transmission optical fiber 4; connection rubber sleeves 5 are installed between the transmission optical fiber 4 and both the optical fiber connector 2 and the optical fiber adapter 3.
[0070] It is worth mentioning that the elastic material of the connection rubber sleeve 5 can not only enhance the connection stability but also play a certain shock - absorbing role. When the device is subjected to external vibrations, the connection rubber sleeve 5 can absorb part of the vibration energy, protecting the transmission optical fiber 4 from vibration damage and improving the reliability of the optical fiber connection device in a vibration environment. The design of internal anti - slip patterns and outer annular protrusions enables the connection rubber sleeve 5 to form a sealing effect when connecting the transmission optical fiber 4 with the optical fiber connector 2 and the optical fiber adapter 3, preventing dust and moisture from entering the connection part and effectively improving the connection tightness and durability.
[0071] The connecting component includes a male conductive member 6; the male conductive member 6 is fixed on one side of the inner wall of the optical fiber adapter 3, and a plug rod 7 is electrically connected to one side of the male conductive member 6; a connecting block 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the optical fiber adapter 3; a connecting groove 9 is formed on one side surface of the connecting block 8; a female conductive member 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the optical fiber connector 2; a socket 11 is electrically connected to one side of the female conductive member 10, and both the female conductive member 10 and the male conductive member 6 are electrically connected to the optical fiber adapter 3.
[0072] It is worth mentioning that the male conductive member 6 and the female conductive member 10 made of gold-plated material can not only improve the electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance, but also reduce the contact resistance, reduce the energy loss during signal transmission, and significantly improve the quality and stability of signal transmission.
[0073] It is worth mentioning that the elastic claws on the plug rod 7 and the guiding inclined surface design inside the socket 11 make the connection more firm while facilitating the connection operation. Even in a relatively harsh environment, the reliability of the electrical connection can be ensured, enhancing the adaptability of the optical fiber connection device in different environments.
[0074] Two elastic paddles 12 are respectively fixed to the front side and the rear side of the optical fiber connector 2; fixing shells 13 are fixedly connected to both the front side and the rear side of the optical fiber adapter 3; a receiving groove 14 is formed on one side surface of the fixing shell 13, and the elastic paddle 12 is slidably connected to the receiving groove 14; a moving rod 15 is arranged on the front side of the fixing shell 13; the rear end of the moving rod 15 penetrates through the fixing shell 13 and extends into the interior of the fixing shell 13; the moving rod 15 is slidably connected to the fixing shell 13; a pressing button 16 is fixedly connected to the front end of the moving rod 15.
[0075] It is worth mentioning that the elastic paddle 12 is made of high-strength spring steel material, which not only has good elasticity and durability, but also can provide a certain pre-tightening force during connection, making the connection between the optical fiber connector 2 and the optical fiber adapter 3 tighter, and improving the firmness and stability of the connection.
[0076] It is worth mentioning that the fixing shell 13 is designed to be made of a transparent material, which is convenient for users to directly observe the position and state of the elastic paddle 12, timely discover connection problems, and facilitate users to troubleshoot and maintain.
[0077] In the embodiment of the present invention, as Figures 1-6As shown in the figure, the snap-fastening component includes two elastic flaps 12. The two elastic flaps 12 are respectively fixed to the front side and the rear side of the optical fiber connector 2. Fixed shells 13 are fixedly connected to both the front side and the rear side of the optical fiber adapter 3. A receiving groove 14 is formed on one surface of the fixed shell 13. The elastic flap 12 is slidably connected to the receiving groove 14. A moving rod 15 is arranged on the front side of the fixed shell 13. The rear end of the moving rod 15 penetrates through the fixed shell 13 and extends into the interior of the fixed shell 13, that is, extends into the receiving groove 14. The moving rod 15 is slidably connected to the fixed shell 13. The front end of the moving rod 15 is fixedly connected to a pressing button 16. By pressing the pressing button 16, the elastic flap 12 can be conveniently compressed, the opening angle of the elastic flap 12 can be changed, so that it is separated from the inner wall of the fixed shell 13, and thus the elastic flap 12 can slide out of the receiving groove 14, facilitating the fixation and separation of the optical fiber connector 2 and the optical fiber adapter 3.
[0078] In a snap-fastening type optical fiber connection device provided by the present invention, the positioning and moving component includes two moving slides 17; the two moving slides 17 are respectively fixed to the bottoms of the optical fiber connector 2 and the optical fiber adapter 3; a disassembly and assembly component is arranged between the optical fiber connector 2 and the moving slide 17; a limiting chute 18 is formed on the top surface of the device board 1; a limiting slide 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the moving slide 17, and the limiting slide 19 is slidably connected to the limiting chute 18; a through chute 23 is formed on the front surface of the device board 1; a connecting slide rod 20 is fixedly connected to the front side of the limiting slide 19, and the connecting slide rod 20 is slidably connected to the through chute 23; the front end of the connecting slide rod 20 is fixedly connected to a moving plate 21, and a pushing plate 22 is fixedly connected to the front side of the moving plate 21.
[0079] It is worth mentioning that the moving slide 17 and the limiting slide 19 are made of high-strength aluminum alloy material, which is light and strong. The balls arranged on both sides of the limiting slide 19 and the anti-slip pads on the top of the moving slide 17 make the movement of the optical fiber connector 2 and the optical fiber adapter 3 on the device board 1 smoother and more stable, improving the convenience and accuracy of the connection operation.
[0080] This design of the positioning and moving component can also conveniently adjust the positions of the optical fiber connector 2 and the optical fiber adapter 3 to adapt to different installation requirements, increasing the flexibility and versatility of the optical fiber connection device.
[0081] It is worth mentioning that the operating component composed of the connecting slide rod 20, the moving plate 21 and the pushing plate 22 has an arc design that conforms to the ergonomic principle and is more comfortable to use. At the same time, the anti-slip lines on the surface of the pushing plate 22 increase the friction force, facilitating the user's operation and enhancing the user's operation experience.
[0082] The stainless steel material connecting the sliding rod 20 is strong and durable, capable of withstanding a large thrust force, ensuring the stability of the optical fiber connector 2 and the optical fiber adapter 3 during movement, and enhancing the reliability of the optical fiber connection device.
[0083] The optical fiber connector 2 and the optical fiber adapter 3 are coaxially arranged on the device board 1. On one side of the device board 1 where the optical fiber connector 2 and the optical fiber adapter 3 are arranged, a limiting sliding groove 18 is provided. The size of the limiting sliding groove 18 is adapted to the limiting sliding plate 19 installed at the bottom of the optical fiber connector 2 and the optical fiber adapter 3 for sliding connection with the limiting sliding groove 18. That is, the thickness of the limiting sliding plate 19 is adapted to the width of the limiting sliding groove 18, which can ensure that the optical fiber connector 2 and the optical fiber adapter 3 will not be unable to accurately align and connect due to the mismatch between the width of the limiting sliding groove 18 and the limiting sliding plate 19 when sliding on the device board 1.
[0084] It is worth mentioning that the optical fiber connector 2 and the optical fiber adapter 3 are coaxially arranged on the device board 1 to make the propagation direction of the optical signal consistent with the axis of the transmission optical fiber 4. It should be noted that the transmission optical fiber 4 is a cylindrical structure, and its axis is a virtual straight line passing through the center of the optical fiber. When the device board 1 is vertically installed on the wall, the axis of the transmission optical fiber 4 is in the vertical direction at this time; when the device board 1 is inclined and installed on a special structure, the axis of the transmission optical fiber 4 will also be inclined accordingly. Since the propagation direction of the optical signal is consistent with the axis of the transmission optical fiber 4, the energy of the light can be more concentrated and propagated along the predetermined direction, reducing the dispersion of energy, thereby achieving the effect of improving the signal transmission efficiency. At the same time, since the optical fiber connector 2 and the optical fiber adapter 3 are coaxially arranged, the transmission path of the optical signal between the two is straight. The optical signal propagates in the transmission optical fiber 4 in the form of total reflection. The coaxial arrangement can ensure that the propagation direction of the optical signal remains unchanged to the greatest extent, reducing the signal loss caused by the deviation of the refraction and reflection angles, thereby achieving the effect of reducing signal loss.
[0085] It is worth mentioning that there are two limiting sliding grooves 18, which are respectively used for the optical fiber connector 2 and the optical fiber adapter 3 to slide on the device board 1. Even if the sizes of the two limiting sliding grooves 18 are inconsistent, since the bottoms of the optical fiber connector 2 and the optical fiber adapter 3 are connected to the limiting sliding plate 19 through the moving sliding plate 17, as long as it can be ensured that the thickness of the limiting sliding plate 19 for sliding at the bottom of the optical fiber connector 2 is adapted to the width of the limiting sliding groove 18, and the thickness of the limiting sliding plate 19 for sliding at the bottom of the optical fiber adapter 3 is adapted to the width of the limiting sliding groove 18, and at the same time, it is ensured that the optical fiber connector 2 and the optical fiber adapter 3 are coaxially arranged on the device board 1, the effect of accurate alignment and connection can be achieved.
[0086] The bottom surface of the inner wall of the limiting sliding groove 18 is provided with an inner cavity 24; a connecting sliding plate 25 is slidably connected inside the inner cavity 24; the connecting sliding plate 25 is fixedly connected to the limiting sliding plate 19; a connecting spring 26 is fixedly connected between the connecting sliding plate 25 and the inner wall of the inner cavity 24.
[0087] It is worth mentioning that the combination of the pulley provided at the bottom of the connecting sliding plate 25 and the connecting spring 26 makes the sliding of the limiting sliding plate 19 in the limiting sliding groove 18 smoother. The connecting spring 26 plays a buffering role during the movement of the optical fiber connector 2 and the optical fiber adapter 3, reducing the impact force, protecting the device, and improving the durability of the optical fiber connection device. When the optical fiber connector 2 and the optical fiber adapter 3 move to a certain position, the connecting spring 26 can automatically reset, making the device return to the initial position, facilitating the next use, and increasing the operation convenience of the optical fiber connection device.
[0088] In the embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 1 、 2 shown in Figures 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8, the positioning and moving assembly includes two moving sliding plates 17, which are respectively fixed to the bottoms of the optical fiber connector 2 and the optical fiber adapter 3. An assembly and disassembly component is provided between the optical fiber connector 2 and the moving sliding plate 17. The top surface of the device plate 1 is provided with a limiting sliding groove 18. The bottom of the moving sliding plate 17 is fixedly connected with a limiting sliding plate 19, and the limiting sliding plate 19 is slidably connected with the limiting sliding groove 18. The front side surface of the device plate 1 is provided with a through sliding groove 23. The front side of the limiting sliding plate 19 is fixedly connected with a connecting sliding rod 20, and the connecting sliding rod 20 is slidably connected with the through sliding groove 23. The front end of the connecting sliding rod 20 is fixedly connected with a moving plate 21, and the front side of the moving plate 21 is fixedly connected with a pushing plate 22. The bottom surface of the inner wall of the limiting sliding groove 18 is provided with an inner cavity 24, a connecting sliding plate 25 is slidably connected inside the inner cavity 24, the connecting sliding plate 25 is fixedly connected to the limiting sliding plate 19, and a connecting spring 26 is fixedly connected between the connecting sliding plate 25 and the inner wall of the inner cavity 24, which is convenient for the limiting sliding plate 19 to slide in the limiting sliding groove 18, playing a role of limiting and positioning, making the slot 11 on the optical fiber connector 2 and the insertion rod 7 on the optical fiber adapter 3 be on the same horizontal line, and facilitating the quick connection of the optical fiber connector 2 and the optical fiber adapter 3.
[0089] For a snap - type optical fiber connection device provided by the present invention, mounting plates 27 are fixedly connected to both the front side and the rear side of the device plate 1;
[0090] The front side surface of the mounting plate 27 is provided with mounting holes 28.
[0091] It should be noted that, as Figure 1 、 2 shown, mounting plates 27 are fixedly connected to both the front side and the rear side of the device plate 1, and the front side surface of the mounting plate 27 is provided with mounting holes 28, which is convenient for the installation and fixation of the overall device.
[0092] It is worth mentioning that the mounting plate 27 is made of stainless steel, which is strong and durable. The mounting holes 28 are set as oblong, facilitating the adjustment of the mounting position, enabling the fiber optic connection device to adapt to different mounting environments and requirements, improving the mounting adaptability of the fiber optic connection device. The rust-proof coating on the surface of the mounting plate 27 enhances the corrosion resistance, extends the service life of the device, and strengthens the reliability and durability of the fiber optic connection device.
[0093] For the snap-type fiber optic connection device provided by the present invention, the disassembly and assembly component includes two fixing blocks 29; the two fixing blocks 29 are respectively fixed at the bottoms of the fiber optic connector 2 and the fiber optic adapter 3; a first threaded hole 30 is formed on one side surface of the fixing block 29; a fixing card slot 31 is formed on the top surface of the moving slide plate 17.
[0094] The fixing block 29 is movably clamped with the fixing card slot 31; a second threaded hole 32 is formed on one side surface of the inner wall of the fixing card slot 31; fixing bolts 33 are threadedly connected inside both the second threaded hole 32 and the first threaded hole 30.
[0095] It should be noted that, as Figure 5 shown, the disassembly and assembly component includes two fixing blocks 29, the two fixing blocks 29 are respectively fixed at the bottoms of the fiber optic connector 2 and the fiber optic adapter 3, a first threaded hole 30 is formed on one side surface of the fixing block 29, a fixing card slot 31 is formed on the top surface of the moving slide plate 17, the fixing block 29 is movably clamped with the fixing card slot 31, a second threaded hole 32 is formed on one side surface of the inner wall of the fixing card slot 31, and fixing bolts 33 are threadedly connected inside both the second threaded hole 32 and the first threaded hole 30, enabling the fiber optic connector 2 and the fiber optic adapter 3 to be disassembled from the moving slide plate 17, thus facilitating the connection of fiber optic connectors 2 of different models.
[0096] It is worth mentioning that the trapezoidal shape design of the fixing block 29 and the fixing card slot 31 increases the clamping force, making the connection between the moving slide plate 17 and the fiber optic connector 2 and the fiber optic adapter 3 more firm, improving the overall stability of the fiber optic connection device. The design of the hexagon socket threaded hole facilitates the installation and disassembly of the fixing bolts 33. When it is necessary to replace the fiber optic connector 2 or the fiber optic adapter 3, the disassembly and installation can be carried out quickly, increasing the maintenance convenience of the fiber optic connection device.
[0097] The working principle of the present invention:
[0098] By inserting the fixing blocks 29 at the bottoms of the optical fiber connector 2 and the optical fiber adapter 3 into the fixing card slots 31, a snap connection is formed. Subsequently, by rotating the fixing bolt 33, and since the fixing bolt 33 is threadedly connected to the second threaded hole 32 and the first threaded hole 30, the fixing bolt 33 is screwed into the second threaded hole 32 and the first threaded hole 30, completing the connection and fixation between the optical fiber connector 2, the optical fiber adapter 3 and the moving slide plate 17. Subsequently, by pushing the two push plates 22 towards both sides along the Y-axis, the two push plates 22 drive the two moving plates 21 to move away from each other. At the same time, the connecting slide rods 20 at the rear sides of the moving plates 21 slide inside the through slots 23, thereby driving the limiting slide plate 19 to slide inside the limiting slot 18. Through the limiting sliding of the limiting slide plate 19 and the limiting slot 18 and the fact that the connecting slide rods 20 can only slide inside the through slots 23, it is prevented that the optical fiber connector 2 moves in a non-vertical direction, playing a limiting role on the optical fiber connector 2. At the same time, since the limiting slide plate 19 is fixedly connected to the connecting slide plate 25, the connecting spring 26 is compressed by driving the limiting slide plate 19 and the connecting slide plate 25. Subsequently, the optical fiber connector 2 and the optical fiber adapter 3 move closer to each other by the resilience of the connecting spring 26, forming an electrical connection between the slot 11 and the plug rod 7. At the same time, the elastic flap 12 moves when the optical fiber connector 2 and the optical fiber adapter 3 move closer to each other, so that the elastic flap 12 slides inside the receiving slot 14. During the process of the elastic flap 12 sliding into the receiving slot 14, the elastic flap 12 is squeezed, so that the elastic flap 12 is compressed and enters the fixed shell 13. After the elastic flap 12 completely enters the fixed shell 13, it rebounds from the receiving slot 14 into the internal space of the fixed shell 13, completing the connection and wiring of the optical fiber connector 2 and the optical fiber adapter 3. When separating the optical fiber connector 2 and the optical fiber adapter 3, by pressing the pressing button 16, the pressing button 16 drives the moving rod 15 to move towards the inside of the fixed shell 13, so that the moving rod 15 squeezes the elastic flap 12 to be compressed. The optical fiber connector 2 and the optical fiber adapter 3 rebound by the resilience of the connecting spring 26 inside the inner cavity 24, so that the elastic flap 12 slides out of the receiving slot 14 in the compressed state, and then the separation of the optical fiber connector 2 and the optical fiber adapter 3 is completed.
[0099] The beneficial effects achieved by the present invention:
[0100] 1. By setting up a connection component, a snap-fastening component, and a positioning and moving component, by pushing two push plates 22 towards the middle along the Y-axis, the two push plates 22 drive the two moving plates 21 to move away from each other, driving the limit sliding plate 19 to slide inside the limit sliding groove 18, playing a limiting role, automatically positioning the fiber optic connector 2 and the fiber optic adapter 3. Through the resilience of the connecting spring 26, the fiber optic connector 2 and the fiber optic adapter 3 move closer to each other, forming an electrical connection between the slot 11 and the plug rod 7, completing the connection and wiring of the fiber optic connector 2 and the fiber optic adapter 3. The snap-fastening design makes the fiber optic connection more convenient and fast, without the need for additional tools or rotational operations, saving connection time and improving work efficiency. The fiber optic connection head with an elastic structure can be pressed open and docked with the fiber optic end face inside the socket to ensure accurate connection, reducing the connection error rate and maintenance cost. A positioning structure is provided between the fiber optic adapter 3 and the fiber optic connector 2 to ensure the stability and reliability of the connection, reducing the risk of network failures caused by unstable connections. The snap-fastening fiber optic connection device is easy to operate, does not require excessive human intervention, reduces the risk of equipment damage caused by accidental operations, has a reasonable structure design, is convenient for replacing and adjusting the connection method, and improves the flexibility and scalability of the network;
[0101] 2. By setting up a disassembly and assembly component, the disassembly and assembly structure design enables the fiber optic connector 2 and the fiber optic adapter 3 to be easily disassembled and installed, facilitating maintenance personnel to repair, clean, or replace the fiber optic adapter 3, saving maintenance time and cost. The disassembly and assembly structure enables the fiber optic connector 2 and the storage to be flexibly adjusted and replaced to adapt to different interface requirements and connection methods, improving the flexibility and scalability of the system. The reasonably designed disassembly and assembly structure can ensure a tight and stable connection between the fiber optic adapter 3 and other devices, reducing the risk of network failures caused by loose connections;
[0102] In summary, through the mutual influence of the above multiple functions, the snap-fastening fiber optic connection device and the fiber optic wiring method can effectively improve the efficiency, accuracy, and stability of fiber optic connections, reduce maintenance costs and failure risks. Providing a disassembly and assembly structure for the fiber optic adapter 3 and the fiber optic connector 2 can improve the maintenance convenience, flexibility, and stability of the equipment, reduce the equipment damage rate, and bring many benefits to the operation and maintenance of the fiber optic communication system.
[0103] Please refer to Figure 9 , a fiber optic wiring method applied to a snap-fastening fiber optic connection device provided by the present invention includes:
[0104] Step 101: Drive the fiber optic adapter 3 and the fiber optic connector 2 to move coaxially towards each other on the device board 1 through the positioning and moving component, and electrically connect the fiber optic adapter 3 and the fiber optic connector 2 through the connection component;
[0105] Step 102: Limit and connect the fiber optic adapter 3 and the fiber optic connector 2 through the snap-fastening component.
[0106] In the embodiment of the present invention, since the snap-fastening fiber optic connection device may not be installed vertically or horizontally during operation, the snap-fastening fiber optic connection device of the present invention has a wide range of applicable places and is not limited to vertical or horizontal installation. Even if there is a certain inclination angle, the positioning and moving component can drive the fiber optic adapter 3 and the fiber optic connector 2 to move coaxially and towards each other on the device board 1, and the fiber optic adapter 3 and the fiber optic connector 2 can be electrically connected through the connection component, achieving the effect of precise alignment connection. At the same time, the snap-fastening component with a snap-fastening design makes the fiber optic connection more convenient and fast, without the need for additional tools or rotational operations, saving connection time and improving work efficiency. The fiber optic connection head with an elastic structure can be pressed open and docked with the fiber optic end face inside the socket to ensure accurate connection, reducing the connection error rate and maintenance cost.
[0107] Taking the vertical direction as an example, by pulling two push plates 22 towards the middle along the Y-axis, the two push plates 22 drive the two moving plates 21 to move closer to each other;
[0108] Drive the limit sliding plate 19 to slide inside the limit sliding groove 18 to play a limiting role and automatically position the fiber optic connector 2 and the fiber optic adapter 3;
[0109] Make the fiber optic connector 2 and the fiber optic adapter 3 move closer to each other to form an electrical connection between the slot 11 and the plug rod 7;
[0110] During the process of the fiber optic connector 2 and the fiber optic adapter 3 moving closer to each other, the elastic flap 12 is compressed, causing the elastic flap 12 to enter the fixed shell 13. After the elastic flap 12 completely enters the fixed shell 13, it rebounds from the storage groove 14 into the internal space of the fixed shell 13 to complete the connection wiring of the fiber optic connector 2 and the fiber optic adapter 3.
