[0031] The present application will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that in the drawings or descriptions, similar or identical parts use the same figure numbers, and the implementation methods not shown or described in the drawings are forms known to ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field. In the description of this application, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish the description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0032] This embodiment provides a housing for an optoelectronic communication optical module, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a base 1, an upper cover 2, an unlocking mechanism 3 and an elastic element 4.
[0033] In this embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, the unlocking mechanism 3 includes a push-pull portion 302; the elastic element 4 is mounted on the base 1, the push-pull portion 302 is slidably mounted on the base 1, the convex portion 304 is fixed on the push-pull portion 302, and the convex portion 304 protrudes outward relative to the push-pull portion 302, so that the push-pull portion 302 can drive the convex portion 304 to slide for unlocking. The inner hook 303 is fixed on the push-pull portion 302 and corresponds to the elastic element 304, so that the inner hook 303 can drive the elastic element 4 to deform.
[0034] In this embodiment, since the push-pull portion 302 can slide on the base 1, the push-pull portion 302 can be pushed and pulled on the base 1. Since the protrusion 304 and the inner hook 303 are both arranged on the push-pull portion 302, the push-pull portion 302 can drive the protrusion 304 and the inner hook 303 to achieve reciprocating push and pull.
[0035] In this embodiment, a recess 306 is further provided on the push-pull portion 302 , and a portion of the recess 306 is recessed inwardly relative to the push-pull portion 302 .
[0036] like Fig.11 As shown, when the optical module corresponding to the optoelectronic communication optical module housing is in a locked state, the switch spring 6 abuts against the recess 306, as shown in FIG. Fig.12 As shown, when unlocking, the push-pull portion 302 is pulled backward to make the protrusion 304 connect with the exchanger spring sheet 6. Since the protrusion 304 is arranged outward relative to the recess 306, the push-pull portion 302 can make the protrusion 304 bounce off the exchanger spring sheet 6, thereby achieving unlocking.
[0037] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the side of the base 1 has a sink, which includes a sliding surface 109 and a stop surface 102. The sliding surface 109 fits the inner side of the push-pull part 302, and the inner side can slide relative to the sliding surface 109. When the push-pull part 302 can slide along the sliding surface 109.
[0038] A transverse groove 107 is provided on the side of the base 1 , the inner hook 303 is passed through the transverse groove 107 , and the inner hook 303 extends to the inside of the base 1 , and the elastic element 4 is installed inside the base 1 .
[0039] The inner hook 303 extends toward the inside of the base 1 and can slide inside the transverse groove 107. The extension direction of the transverse groove 107 is the same as the movable direction of the push-pull portion 302. The two inner side walls of the transverse groove 107 in its extension direction limit the inner hook 303.
[0040] A vertical groove 108 is also provided on the side of the base 1, one end of the vertical groove 108 is connected to the horizontal groove 107, and the other end is connected to the outside. The width of the vertical groove 108 is greater than or equal to the width of the inner hook 303. When assembling the base 1 and the unlocking mechanism 3, the inner hook 303 is inserted from the vertical groove 108 into the horizontal groove 107, so that the inner hook 303 can slide in the horizontal groove 107.
[0041] In this embodiment, the extension direction of the transverse groove 107 is the same as the sliding direction of the push-pull portion 302. The role of the elastic element 4 is to enable the unlocked push-pull portion 302 to be reset. For example, when the push-pull portion 302 is driven to move backward so that the convex portion 304 is popped open, thereby unlocking, the elastic element 4 is in a compressed state. At this time, the push-pull portion 302 is released, and the push-pull portion 302 is reset under the action of the elastic force of the elastic element 4.
[0042] Therefore, in this embodiment, the length of the transverse groove 107 in the extension direction is less than or equal to the maximum deformation of the elastic element 4. The two opposite inner side walls of the transverse groove 107 in the extension direction can limit the inner hook 303. If the length of the transverse groove 107 in the extension direction is greater than the maximum deformation of the elastic element 4, when the push-pull part 302 is pulled, if too much force is applied, the inner hook will press the elastic element 4 until the elastic element 4 reaches the extreme compression. After the elastic element 4 is compressed to the extreme for a long time, the elastic element 4 will be deformed. Therefore, the length of the transverse groove 107 in the extension direction is less than or equal to the maximum deformation of the elastic element 4. When the inner hook 303 abuts against the inner side wall, it reaches the extreme position, which will not cause the extreme compression of the elastic element 4, thereby extending the service life of the elastic element 4. The elastic element 4 in this embodiment can be a spring.
[0043] In this embodiment, a rear end hole 101 is provided at the rear end of the base 1, and the elastic element 4 is fixed in the rear end hole 101 by screws. The axial direction of the rear end hole 101 does not coincide with the extension direction of the transverse groove.
[0044] In this embodiment, Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, after the base 1 and the unlocking mechanism 3 are assembled, the inner hook 303 is slidably arranged in the transverse groove 107. The inner side surface of the push-pull portion 302 is slidably matched with the outer side surface of the base 1, the sliding surface 109 is slidably matched with the concave portion 306, and the end of the mounting protrusion 304 of the push-pull portion 302 is against the stop surface.
[0045] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the upper cover 2 is buckled on the base 1, and a mounting area is formed between the upper cover 2 and the base 1, and the mounting area is used to mount a PCB board 5. Part of the PCB board 5 in this embodiment extends to the outside.
[0046] The upper cover 2 in this embodiment is provided with a limiting groove 204 , and the push-pull portion 302 is provided with a limiting block 305 , so that when the limiting block 305 abuts against the limiting groove 204 , the convex portion is located in the sink, and the convex portion is located on the stop surface 102 .
[0047] In this embodiment, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the mounting area includes a first mounting portion disposed on the base 1 and a second mounting portion disposed on the upper cover, and the first mounting portion is connected to both the PCB board 5 and the second mounting portion. The connection between the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion is conducive to forming a more stable cavity between the upper cover 2 and the base 1, due to the installation and fixation with the PCB board 5.
[0048] In this embodiment, the first mounting portion includes a first inclined block 105 and a semi-cylinder 106. The semi-cylinder 106 is fixed on the first inclined block 105 and arranged inwardly relative to the first inclined block 105. The first inclined block 105 and the semi-cylinder 106 are both mounted on the buckling surface of the base 1. In this embodiment, the bottom surface of the semi-cylinder 106 is completely fitted and fixed on the first inclined block 105, and the curved surface of the semi-cylinder 106 is arranged toward the inside of the mounting area.
[0049] The second mounting portion includes a second inclined block 201 , and the second inclined block 201 is arranged on the buckling surface of the upper cover 2 that matches the base 1 .
[0050] In this embodiment, an oblique groove is formed between the second oblique block 201 and the buckling surface of the upper cover 2, and the first oblique block 105 can be inserted into the oblique groove. When the base 1 and the upper cover 2 are buckled, the first oblique block 105 is inserted into the oblique groove. The first oblique block 105 can be inserted into the oblique groove, and after the first oblique block 105 is inserted into the oblique groove, the relative position of the first oblique block 105 and the second oblique block 201 is the same as the arrangement position of the base 1 and the upper cover 2. For example, if the base 1 and the upper cover 2 are arranged up and down, the first oblique block 105 and the second oblique block 201 are also arranged up and down. If the base 1 and the upper cover 2 are arranged left and right, the first oblique block 105 and the second oblique block 201 are also arranged left and right. In this embodiment, through the cooperation between the first oblique block 105 and the second oblique block 201, it is possible to install the first oblique block 105 and the second oblique block 201 without screws, which simplifies the installation steps.
[0051] The installation area further includes side columns 103 and a pressing block 202 . The side columns 103 are arranged on the base 1 , and the pressing block 202 is arranged on the upper cover 2 . The side columns 103 and the pressing block 202 are arranged opposite to each other.
[0052] In this embodiment, Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, when assembling the PCB board 5, the upper cover 2 and the base 1, the PCB board 5 is placed on the side column 103 of the base 1, and the semi-circular column 106 is stuck in the semi-circular hole 501 of the PCB board 5, and the semi-circular hole 501 is located on the side of the PCB board 5; then the upper cover 2 is buckled on the base 1, the first inclined block 105 and the second inclined block 201 are matched, and the pressing block is pressed on the PCB board 5, and finally the screws are passed through the through hole 203 and the corresponding through hole on the base 1 to make the upper cover 2 and the base 1 threadedly connected.
[0053] In this embodiment, the first inclined block 105 and the semi-cylinder 106 are sequentially arranged along the first direction. After the base 1 and the upper cover 2 are buckled, the first inclined block 105 and the second inclined block 201 are sequentially arranged along the second direction, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. In this embodiment, the first direction can be the width direction of the PCB board 5, and the second direction can be the thickness direction of the PCB board 5.
