[0062] In order to enable persons skilled in the art to better understand the scheme of the present application, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by persons skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0063] The embodiments of the present application provide an optical transceiver module fixing structure, an optical transceiver module and a camera module, which can solve the technical problem of occupying a large volume in a vehicle in the related art.

[0064] Reference is made to Figures 1 to 3As shown, the optical transceiver assembly fixing structure 100 provided by the embodiment of the application comprises an adapter main body 1, the adapter main body 1 is internally provided with a mounting cavity 11 and a mating socket 10, the mating socket 10 is in communication with the mounting cavity 11; an optical transceiver assembly 2 is mounted in the mounting cavity 11; a fixing member 3 is fixedly arranged on the adapter main body 1, the fixing member 3 is integrally formed with the adapter main body 1 or separately formed and fixed with the adapter main body 1, and the fixing member 3 and the adapter main body 1 wrap the optical transceiver assembly 2; a conductive sheet 6 is further arranged in the adapter main body 1, and the conductive sheet 6 is exposed to the mating socket 10.

[0065] In the embodiment, the front part of the adapter main body 1 is provided with the mating socket 10, which is used for connecting a connector such as an optical and electrical connector. The rear part of the adapter main body 1 is provided with the mounting cavity 11 for mounting the optical transceiver assembly 2, which can be a bosa for example. The fixing member 3 is located at the rear of the adapter main body 1 and wraps the optical transceiver assembly 2 from the rear, so that the optical transceiver assembly 2 is completely accommodated in the adapter main body 1 and the fixing member 3. The pin 21 of the optical transceiver assembly 2 needs to be extended out of the fixing member 3 and the adapter main body 1 to cooperate with other devices to realize signal transmission. The adapter main body 1 in the embodiment can be integrally formed with the fixing member 3, or separately formed and fixed together, for example, can be welded together or integrally injection molded.

[0066] In the embodiment, the mounting cavity 11 adapted to the optical transceiver assembly 2 is arranged in the adapter main body 1, and a limiting surface for limiting the front, rear, left, right and up and down of the optical transceiver assembly 2 can be arranged in the mounting cavity 11 or around the mounting cavity 11, so that the optical transceiver assembly 2 can be accurately positioned after being mounted into the adapter main body 1 and the fixing member 3 distributed in the axial direction and cannot be moved at will. When the optical transceiver assembly 2 is mounted to the main board 200 (such as a PCB), the optical transceiver assembly 2 is not exposed on the surface of the main board 200, but is wrapped inside the adapter main body 1 and the fixing member 3, so that the optical transceiver assembly 2 can be fully protected, and the pin 21 of the optical transceiver assembly 2 can be exposed outside to facilitate welding with the main board 200. At the same time, the conductive sheet 6 in the adapter main body 1 is exposed to the mating socket 10, which can not only realize optical signal transmission, but also realize power supply for the BOSA or other components, thereby solving the technical problem of occupying a large volume in the vehicle by two interfaces in the related art.

[0067] Meanwhile, the structure of fixing the optical transceiver assembly 2 is divided into the adapter body 1 and the fixing member 3 arranged along the axial direction (i.e. the front-rear direction) in the embodiment, the optical transceiver assembly 2 can be fully wrapped in the adapter body 1 and the fixing member 3, and the arrangement along the front-rear direction makes the part of the adapter body 1 located in front of the optical transceiver assembly 2 an integral whole, which is convenient for sealing the front part of the adapter body 1 and suitable for the vehicle-mounted field. In other embodiments, the adapter body 1 and the fixing member 3 can be arranged along other directions, for example, the up-down direction, and the optical transceiver assembly 2 can be wrapped from the up-down direction.

[0068] Further, in an embodiment, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 9 , the adapter body 1 extends along the axial direction with a sliding groove 12, the optical transceiver assembly 2 is inserted into the mounting cavity 11 along the sliding groove 12, and the optical transceiver assembly 2 is at least partially accommodated in the sliding groove 12. In the embodiment, the adapter body 1 is preferably integrally injection molded, the front part of the adapter body 1 is cylindrical, the rear part is integrally connected with the front part and extends backward to form the sliding groove 12 arranged in the rear part of the adapter body 1 and penetrating the adapter body 1 backward, so that the optical transceiver assembly 2 can be pushed into the mounting cavity 11 from the rear of the adapter body 1 along the sliding groove 12 during installation. During the movement of the optical transceiver assembly 2 along the sliding groove 12, the sliding groove 12 can limit and guide the optical transceiver assembly 2 to move along the axial direction until the optical transceiver assembly 2 slides into the mounting cavity 11 in front, and when the optical transceiver assembly 2 slides to the final position, the front part of the optical transceiver assembly 2 is accommodated in the mounting cavity 11 and the rear part is accommodated in the sliding groove 12. Meanwhile, when the fixing member 3 is buckled to the adapter body 1, the upper part of the optical transceiver assembly 2 is accommodated in the fixing member 3.

[0069] Further, in some optional embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 8As shown, the fixing member 3 and / or the adapter body 1 is further provided with a mainboard clamping portion 5 and a mainboard positioning column 4. In this embodiment, the mainboard positioning column 4 and the mainboard clamping portion 5 that cooperate with the mainboard 200 can be provided on the fixing member 3, or can be separately provided on the adapter body 1, or can be provided on both the fixing member 3 and the adapter body 1, or can be provided on one of the fixing member 3 and the adapter body 1 and the other one of the fixing member 3 and the adapter body 1. In this embodiment, by providing the mainboard positioning column 4 and the mainboard clamping portion 5 on the fixing member 3 and / or the adapter body 1, when the optical transceiver assembly fixing structure 100 is installed on the mainboard 200, the mainboard positioning column 4 can position and limit the position of the optical transceiver assembly fixing structure 100 on the mainboard 200, and the mainboard clamping portion 5 can be clamped with the mainboard 200, so that the optical transceiver assembly fixing structure 100 is stably fixed to the mainboard 200. In addition to the pin 21 of the optical transceiver assembly 2 being connected with the mainboard 200, the mainboard clamping portion 5 is further fixed with the mainboard 200, so that the optical transceiver assembly 2 is not easy to be separated from the mainboard 200, and the stability and the fixing strength are improved. At the same time, by providing the mainboard positioning column 4, the installation precision of the optical transceiver assembly 2 on the mainboard 200 is improved.

[0070] Preferably, corresponding positioning holes 202 and clamping holes 203 are formed on the mainboard 200, the positioning holes 202 cooperate with the mainboard positioning column 4 to position, and the clamping holes 203 cooperate with the mainboard clamping portion 5 to clamp and fix.

[0071] In the related art, since the home optical network terminal and the ONU are in a static environment, the internal BOSA and other devices do not need special protection and can be directly welded to the PCB. However, if the same method is used on a vehicle, the severe vibration during the running of the vehicle can cause the BOSA device to be detached from the PCB, etc. The adapter body 1 and the fixing member 3 provided in this embodiment wrap the BOSA, and the fixing member 3 and / or the adapter body 1 fix the BOSA to the PCB and the device shell, thereby improving the anti-vibration performance of the device.

[0072] In one embodiment, the axes of the mainboard clamping portion 5 and the mainboard positioning column 4 are perpendicular to the axis of the adapter body 1, or the axes of the mainboard clamping portion 5 and the mainboard positioning column 4 are parallel to the axis of the adapter body 1.

[0073] Specifically, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 8As shown, in an embodiment, the fixing member 3 has a first assembly surface 31 perpendicular to the axis of the adapter body 1 and a second assembly surface 32 perpendicular to the first assembly surface 31, and the first assembly surface 31 and the second assembly surface 32 are both provided with the mainboard positioning column 4 and the mainboard clamping portion 5; the adapter body 1 has a third assembly surface 13 flush with the second assembly surface 32, and the third assembly surface 13 is also provided with the mainboard positioning column 4 and the mainboard clamping portion 5.

[0074] In this embodiment, the optical transceiver assembly 2 has pins 21 extending along the axis direction of the adapter body 1 and pins 21 extending vertically, and the pins 21 extending along the axis direction are perpendicular to the pins 21 extending vertically. The mainboard positioning column 4 and the mainboard clamping portion 5 are arranged on the vertical first assembly surface 31, so that the optical transceiver assembly fixing structure 100 and the mainboard 200 can be vertically installed (see Figure 10 As shown); and the mainboard positioning column 4 and the mainboard clamping portion 5 are arranged on the horizontal second assembly surface 32 and the third assembly surface 13, so that the optical transceiver assembly fixing structure 100 and the mainboard 200 can be horizontally installed (see Figure 11 As shown). In vertical installation, the horizontally extending pins 21 of the optical transceiver assembly 2 are inserted into the mainboard 200 and welded with the mainboard 200 to achieve hard connection, and the vertically extending pins 21 can be connected with the mainboard 200 through pin soft belt to achieve soft connection; in horizontal installation, the vertically extending pins 21 of the optical transceiver assembly 2 are inserted into the mainboard 200 and welded with the mainboard 200 to achieve hard connection, and the horizontally extending pins 21 can be connected with the mainboard 200 through pin soft belt to achieve soft connection.

[0075] Further, in an embodiment, the adapter body 1 is provided with two conductive sheets 6, and the two conductive sheets 6 are arranged on opposite sides of the optical transceiver assembly 2. In this embodiment, there is one conductive sheet 6 on the left side of the optical transceiver assembly 2 and one conductive sheet 6 on the right side, and the two symmetrical conductive sheets 6 are exposed to the docking port 10 for electrical connection.

[0076] Further, in an embodiment, as shown in Figure 7 The conductive sheet 6 has a first pin 61 and / or a second pin 62 (see Figure 4As shown in FIG. 1, the first pin 61 is perpendicular to the axis of the adapter body 1, and the second pin 62 is parallel to the axis of the adapter body 1. In this embodiment, the adapter body 1 is also provided with two terminal grooves 19, each of which is provided with a conductive sheet 6. The terminal groove 19 can wrap the conductive sheet 6 inside. The two terminal grooves 19 extend along the axial direction of the adapter body 1, and are spaced apart in the left-right direction and distributed on the left and right sides of the optical transceiver assembly 2. At the same time, the terminal groove 19 is spaced apart from the sliding groove 12 in the left-right direction, and the optical transceiver assembly 2 is spaced apart from the conductive sheet 6 after being installed in the sliding groove 12 and the mounting cavity 11. By installing the optical transceiver assembly 2 and the conductive sheet 6 in the adapter body 1, the adapter body 1 can not only realize the transmission of optical signals, but also realize power supply. At the same time, each conductive sheet 6 can be provided with a first pin 61, a second pin 62, or both a first pin 61 and a second pin 62. The first pin 61 and the second pin 62 are used for welding and fixing with the mainboard 200.

[0077] Further, in an embodiment, referring to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown in FIG. 1, the adapter body 1 is provided with a first clamping position 14 and a second clamping position 15. The fixing member 3 is clamped in the first clamping position 14 and the second clamping position 15. The first clamping position 14 limits the movement of the fixing member 3 relative to the adapter body 1 in the axial direction of the adapter body 1 and in the first direction, which is perpendicular to the axial direction of the adapter body 1. The second clamping position 15 limits the movement of the fixing member 3 in the second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction and the axial direction of the adapter body 1.
