Those skilled in the art can make adjustments as needed to adapt to specific application scenarios.

[0038] Secondly, it should be noted that, in the description of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0039] Furthermore, it should be noted that in the description of this application, the terms "upper," "lower," "front," "back," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0040] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0041] As shown in the background section, in existing technologies, when various optical modules are used in conjunction with network devices, multiple indicator lights are typically installed on the network device's panel to indicate the operating status of each optical module. Each indicator light corresponds to a different optical module, and the operating status of each optical module is determined by the different displays of the indicator lights.

[0042] However, the above method of determining the working status requires referring to the correspondence between the indicator light and the optical module, which results in low efficiency in determining the working status of the optical module.

[0043] Based on this, the optical module provided in this application comprises a first housing, a circuit board, an operating component, a first conductive component, and a second conductive component. The circuit board is disposed within the first housing; the first conductive component is also disposed within the first housing. The operating component is connected to the first housing and has at least one indicator light; the second conductive component is disposed on the operating component. The first conductive component is electrically connected to the circuit board, the second conductive component is electrically connected to the indicator light, and the second conductive component is electrically connected to the first conductive component, thereby completing the circuit closure. This ensures that the circuit board transmits electrical signals to the indicator light, enabling the indicator light to function normally and indicating the working status of the circuit board, thus improving the efficiency of determining the working status of the optical module.

[0044] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar components or components having the same or similar functions throughout. The described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of this application. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the optical module provided in this application includes: a first housing 100, a circuit board 200, an operating component 400, a first conductive component 300, and a second conductive component 500. The circuit board 200 is disposed within the first housing 100; the first conductive component 300 is disposed within the first housing 100 and is electrically connected to the circuit board 200.

[0046] An operating component 400 is connected to the first housing 100 and is provided with at least one indicator light 700; a second conductive component 500 is provided on the operating component 400 and is electrically connected to the indicator light 700 and the first conductive component 300, so that the indicator light 700 indicates the working status of the circuit board 200.

[0047] Understandably, the first housing 100 can accommodate the circuit board 200 and other internal components, providing the basic structure and protection of the optical module. The first housing 100 can be made of a sturdy and lightweight material, such as metal or high-strength plastic, as long as the durability and heat dissipation performance of the optical module can be ensured. This application embodiment does not impose too many restrictions on this.

[0048] As an important component of the optical module, the circuit board 200 can realize signal processing and conversion functions, including photoelectric conversion and electro-optical conversion.

[0049] By attaching the operating member 400 to the first housing 100, it facilitates the insertion and removal of the optical module. The operating member 400 can extend out of the first housing 100 for easy gripping and operation. Simultaneously, the operating member 400 provides a mounting location for the indicator light 700, which is located on the operating member 400, protruding from the first housing 100 and the network device's panel. The indicator light 700 is unobstructed, easy to observe and identify, and reduces the possibility of incorrectly removing the optical module. Exemplarily, the operating member 400 can be a pull ring, a handle, or other structures; this application embodiment does not impose excessive limitations on these aspects.

[0050] It should be noted that the indicator light 700 provides a visual indication of the optical module's operating status, helping users quickly determine the optical module's operating status. Different colors or flashing patterns can be used to indicate different operating statuses (such as normal, warning, or fault).

[0051] Specifically, since the first conductive component 300 is electrically connected to the circuit board 200 and the second conductive component 500 is electrically connected to the indicator light 700, when the second conductive component 500 is electrically connected to the first conductive component 300, the indicator light 700 is electrically connected to the circuit board 200 through the first conductive component 300 and the second conductive component 500, thus completing the circuit closure. This ensures that the circuit board 200 transmits electrical signals to the indicator light 700, enabling the indicator light 700 to work normally and thus allowing the indicator light 700 to indicate the working status of the circuit board 200.

[0052] In some embodiments, the number of indicator lights 700 can be two. A socket can be provided inside the operating component 400, and both indicator lights 700 are plugged into the internal socket of the operating component 400. Compared to a soldered connection, this method is easier to install, replace, and maintain. After receiving an electrical signal from the circuit board 200, the two indicator lights 700 flash to indicate the working status. In a specific implementation, two power supply lines can be used to electrically connect the two indicator lights 700 to the internal control chip of the circuit board 200 respectively. The internal control chip of the circuit board 200 can provide clockwise current to control the first indicator light 700 to light up, and counterclockwise current to control the second indicator light 700 to light up. By controlling the current direction and on / off time, the first and second indicator lights 700 can be made to be constantly lit or flashing, thereby indicating different working states of the optical module. It should be noted that in simpler cases, the number of indicator lights 700 can also be one to reduce costs.

[0053] Understandably, compared to the low efficiency of determining the working status of optical modules in existing technologies, the optical module in this embodiment improves the efficiency of determining the working status of the optical module by setting up a first housing 100, a circuit board 200, an operating component 400, a first conductive component 300, and a second conductive component 500. The circuit board 200 is disposed within the first housing 100; the first conductive component 300 is disposed within the first housing 100. The operating component 400 is connected to the first housing 100 and is provided with at least one indicator light 700; the second conductive component 500 is disposed on the operating component 400. The first conductive component 300 is electrically connected to the circuit board 200, and the second conductive component 500 is electrically connected to the indicator light 700 and the first conductive component 300, thereby completing the circuit closure. This ensures that the circuit board 200 transmits electrical signals to the indicator light 700, enabling the indicator light 700 to work normally and indicate the working status of the circuit board 200, thus improving the efficiency of determining the working status of the optical module.

[0054] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the first conductive component 300 includes: a support 310; a power supply pin 320 disposed on the support 310, the power supply pin 320 being used for electrical connection with the circuit board 200; and a conductive element 330 inserted on the support 310, the conductive element 330 being used for contact with the second conductive component 500.

[0055] The support 310 serves as the basic structure of the first conductive component 300, providing mechanical support and positioning functions. The support 310 can be used to fix the power supply pin 320 and the conductive component 330, ensuring their correct position and stability in the optical module.

[0056] The power supply pin 320 is electrically connected to the circuit board 200, transmitting electrical signals from the circuit board 200 to the first conductive component 300, and further via the second conductive component 500 to the indicator light 700. Exemplarily, the power supply pin 320 and the circuit board 200 can be connected by soldering, plugging, or other methods, as long as good conductivity and mechanical strength are ensured. This application embodiment does not impose excessive limitations in this regard. The conductive component 330 abuts against the second conductive component 500, thereby closing the circuit and enabling the indicator light 700 to receive electrical signals and operate normally. It should be noted that the second conductive component 500 may also include a fixing pin 350, which is disposed on the support 310 and connected to the circuit board 200.

[0057] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 As shown, the first conductive component 300 also includes a first elastic element 340, which is disposed in the support 310 and connects the conductive component 330 and the power supply pin 320.

[0058] It should be noted that by providing the first elastic element 340, the conductive element 330 can extend into the support 310 by pressing the first elastic element 340, thereby facilitating the installation of the first conductive component 300 within the first housing 100. Furthermore, after the first conductive component 300 is installed, a portion of the conductive element 330 can automatically extend out of the support 310 under the action of the first elastic element 340, and the extended conductive element 330 can abut against the second conductive component 500. Exemplarily, the first elastic element 340 can be a spring or other elastic components; this application embodiment does not impose excessive limitations on this.

[0059] In some embodiments. See reference. Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the second conductive component 500 includes: a sleeve 510, in which a second elastic member 520 is disposed; and a probe 530, which is inserted into the sleeve 510, connected to the second elastic member 520, with a portion of the probe 530 extending out of the sleeve 510 to abut against the conductive member 330.

[0060] Specifically, the sleeve 510 is used to accommodate the probe 530 and the second elastic element 520. The sleeve 510 provides protection for the probe 530, preventing it from bending or being damaged. The sleeve 510 also guides and positions the probe 530 to ensure that it maintains the correct position during extension and retraction.

[0061] The second elastic element 520 provides elastic support for the probe 530 within the sleeve 510, enabling the probe 530 to make good contact with the conductive element 330. For example, the second elastic element 520 may be a spring.

[0062] Understandably, a portion of the probe 530 extends out of the sleeve 510 to contact the conductive element 330, thereby transmitting an electrical signal from the conductive element 330 to the indicator light 700. The probe 530 can be made of a highly conductive metal, such as a copper alloy, or other materials; this embodiment does not impose excessive limitations on this.

[0063] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the operating member 400 is provided with a plug-in portion 410, the second conductive component 500 is inserted into the plug-in portion 410, and a portion of the second conductive component 500 extends out of the plug-in portion 410.

[0064] It should be noted that by providing the plug-in part 410, an installation position is provided for the second conductive component 500. Specifically, the plug-in part 410 can be a socket, in which the second conductive component 500 is inserted to facilitate electrical connection between the second conductive component 500 and the indicator light 700 on the operating member 400. Furthermore, the plug-in part 410 can provide protection for the second conductive component 500 to prevent it from being damaged.

[0065] It should also be noted that a portion of the second conductive component 500 extends out of the plug portion 410, which ensures that the second conductive component 500 abuts against the conductive element 330 on the first conductive component 300, thereby achieving an electrical connection.

[0066] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the first housing 100 is provided with a receiving groove 110 and a through hole 120, and the receiving groove 110 communicates with the through hole 120; the receiving groove 110 is used to receive the plug-in part 410, and the conductive member 330 abuts against the extended second conductive component 500 through the through hole 120.

[0067] Specifically, by providing a receiving groove 110 on the first housing 100, the receiving groove 110 provides a placement space for the insertion portion 410 on the operating member 400, which helps to ensure the compactness between the first housing 100 and the operating member 400.

[0068] It should be noted that by providing a through hole 120 on the first housing 100, the conductive element 330 can extend to the other side of the first housing 100 through the through hole 120; since the through hole 120 communicates with the receiving groove 110, and the insertion part 410 is located in the receiving groove 110, the conductive element 330 is on the extension path of the insertion part 410. Furthermore, since the second conductive component 500 inserted in the insertion part 410 extends out of the insertion part 410, the extended second conductive component 500 can abut against the conductive element 330, thereby realizing the transmission of electrical signals.

[0069] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the operating member 400 is provided with a snap-fit ​​member 420, and the first housing 100 has a first snap-fit ​​groove 130 that matches the snap-fit ​​member 420. The snap-fit ​​member 420 is snapped into the first snap-fit ​​groove 130.

[0070] Understandably, the snap-fit ​​component 420 snaps into the first snap-fit ​​groove 130, securely connecting the operating component 400 to the first housing 100, and can withstand a certain mechanical stress to ensure that the operating component 400 will not loosen or fall off during use.

[0071] The snap-fit ​​connector 420 is snapped into the first snap-fit ​​groove 130, simplifying the assembly process of the operating component 400 and the first housing 100. During installation, simply align the snap-fit ​​connector 420 with the first snap-fit ​​groove 130 and apply appropriate pressure to complete the fixation, without the need for additional tools, thus improving production efficiency and assembly convenience.

[0072] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the snap-fit ​​member 420 is provided with an abutment portion 430, and the first housing 100 is provided with a third elastic member 140, and the abutment portion 430 abuts against the third elastic member 140.

[0073] Specifically, by providing the third elastic element 140, the installation and removal process of the operating member 400 is smoother. When installing the operating member 400, the third elastic element 140 helps guide the snap-fit ​​member 420 and the abutment portion 430 into the correct position, and after being fixed, it abuts against the abutment portion 430 to provide additional holding force. When removing the operating member 400, the elastic properties of the third elastic element 140 make the snap-fit ​​member 420 easier to remove, facilitating disassembly.

[0074] It should be noted that, by providing a third elastic element 140 on the first housing 100, the snap-fit ​​element 420 can move within the first snap-fit ​​groove 130 (along...). Figure 1 (The arrow indicates the +X or -X direction), meaning the operating component 400 can move relative to the first housing 100. Since the operating component 400 has a plug-in portion 410, the second conductive component 500 is inserted into the plug-in portion 410. A second elastic element 520 is provided inside the sleeve 510 of the second conductive component 500. The probe 530 is connected to the second elastic element 520, which allows the probe 530 to make good contact with the conductive element 330, thus ensuring that the movement of the operating component 400 does not affect the electrical connection of the indicator light 700. The probe 530 abuts against the conductive element 330, facilitating separation of the probe 530 and the conductive element 330, further improving the disassembly efficiency of the operating component 400. It should be noted that the material of the operating component 400 can include plastic and metal, and the material of the sleeve 510 can be an insulating material to avoid short circuits.

[0075] It should also be noted that the third elastic element 140 provides elastic buffer for the snap-fit ​​element 420, which can absorb and mitigate mechanical shock caused by the insertion and removal operation of the operating element 400 or external vibration, and helps to protect the internal components of the optical module.

[0076] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 As shown, the optical module also includes a second housing 600, which is connected to the first housing 100. The first housing 100 and the second housing 600 are located on opposite sides of the circuit board 200.

[0077] Understandably, the second housing 600 and the first housing 100 together surround the circuit board 200, providing all-round mechanical protection, which can effectively prevent external impacts, dust and moisture from damaging the circuit board 200, and improve the durability and reliability of the optical module.

[0078] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, the second housing 600 is provided with a snap-fit ​​part 610, and the first housing 100 is provided with a second snap-fit ​​groove 150 that matches the snap-fit ​​part 610. The snap-fit ​​part 610 snaps into the second snap-fit ​​groove 150.

[0079] Understandably, the engagement of the snap-fit ​​part 610 and the second snap-fit ​​groove 150 provides a stable connection between the first housing 100 and the second housing 600, which can withstand a certain mechanical stress and prevent the first housing 100 and the second housing 600 from loosening or separating during insertion and removal.

[0080] It should be noted that the snap-fit ​​part 610 snaps into the second snap-fit ​​slot 150, which is convenient to operate and further improves the production efficiency of optical modules.

[0081] Those skilled in the art will understand that the optical module provided in this application comprises a first housing 100, a circuit board 200, an operating component 400, a first conductive component 300, and a second conductive component 500. The circuit board 200 is disposed within the first housing 100; the first conductive component 300 is disposed within the first housing 100. The operating component 400 is connected to the first housing 100 and has at least one indicator light 700; the second conductive component 500 is disposed on the operating component 400. The first conductive component 300 is electrically connected to the circuit board 200, and the second conductive component 500 is electrically connected to the indicator light 700 and the first conductive component 300, thereby completing the circuit closure. This ensures that the circuit board 200 transmits electrical signals to the indicator light 700, enabling the indicator light 700 to function normally and indicate the working status of the circuit board 200, thus improving the efficiency of determining the working status of the optical module.
