The shielding structure 3 is fixed on the base 1, and springs are arranged around the shielding structure 3.

[0043] In this embodiment, by sleeve-mounting the housing 2 on the base 1, the internal space on the base 1 for fixing the PCBA 4 is encapsulated inside the housing 2, so that the head of the PCBA 4 is encapsulated inside the housing, and the encapsulation of the PCBA 4 is realized. Multiple parts for encapsulating the PCBA 4 are integrated into two (the structure of the base 1 and the housing 2), reducing the use of shielding glue for blocking. At the same time, a shielding structure 3 is provided, and springs 303 are provided around the shielding structure 3 to ensure that the PCBA 4 can be well grounded, thereby making the optical module packaging structure have good electromagnetic interference shielding characteristics. In this embodiment, the optical port direction of the PCBA 4 is sealed by the above structure, and the head of the PCBA 4 is the optical port.

[0044] like Figure 4 , Figure 7 as well as Fig. 9 As shown, the base 1 is provided with a triangular protrusion 101, a first surface 102, a second surface 103, a screw hole 104, a second columnar member 105, a first columnar member 106, a partition 107 and a semicircular groove 108. When the PCBA 4 is installed on the inner space of the base 1, the cylindrical groove 404 of the PCBA 4 cooperates with the semicircular groove 108 of the base 1, so that the arc surface of the PCBA 4 fits into the space inward of the cylindrical groove 404. The U-shaped hole 406 of the PCBA 4 cooperates with the second columnar member 105, so that the second columnar member 105 is inserted into the U-shaped hole 406, thereby ensuring the stability of the PCBA 4.

[0045] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the shielding structure 3 includes a first shielding sheet 301 and a second shielding sheet 302 , which form a closed shape, wherein a portion of the elastic sheet 303 is located on the first shielding sheet 301 , and another portion of the elastic sheet is located on the second shielding sheet 302 .

[0046] The first shielding sheet 301 and the second shielding sheet 302 are enclosed in a closed shape, and both the first shielding sheet 301 and the second shielding sheet 302 are provided with springs, so that the base 1 can be grounded in all directions, further improving the light shielding performance of the optical module. At the same time, the head of the PCBA is arranged inside the closed shape to prevent electromagnetic waves from leaking from the optical port direction of the PCBA.

[0047] In this embodiment, Figure 5As shown, the first shielding sheet 301 is bent, and a first plug hole 3011 is provided on one side of the bent position, so that the head 402 of the PCBA can be inserted into the first plug hole 3011, and a second plug hole 3012 is provided on the other side of the bent position, and the second plug hole 3012 is plugged into the triangular protrusion 101 of the base 1. The stability of the first shielding sheet 301 installed on the base 1 is improved.

[0048] In this embodiment, Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the head 402 of PCBA 4 is inserted into the first plug hole 3011, so that the outer plane 3014 of the first shielding sheet 301 is in contact with the disc surface 403. Then, the assembled first shielding sheet 301 and PCBA 4 are assembled to the base 1, so that the partition 107 of the base 1 is inserted into the long groove 3015 of the first shielding sheet 301, and the second plug hole 3012 is matched with the triangular protrusion 101, so that the first shielding sheet 301 is plugged and fixed to the base 1. At the same time, the first shielding sheet 301 is provided with a notch 3013, and the shell 2 is provided with an extension sheet 205, and the extension sheet 205 is embedded in the notch 3013, so that the top surface of the first shielding sheet 301 and the shell 2 are on the same plane, and the setting of the extension sheet 205 and the notch 3013 also reduces the gap area between the first shielding sheet 301 and the shell 2, further improving the light shielding performance. The head of the PCBA in this embodiment is an optical port.

[0049] like Figure 6 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, the second shielding plate 302 is constructed in a U shape, and the end of the second shielding plate 302 is provided with a first hook 3021 and a second hook 3022, the first hook 3021 is clamped on the first surface 102 of the base 1, and the second hook 3022 is clamped on the second surface 103 of the base 1, the first surface 102 is connected to the second surface 103, and the first surface 102 is perpendicular to the second surface 103.

[0050] In this embodiment, in order to improve the stability of the connection between the second shielding sheet 302 and the base 1 , a slot may be provided on the first surface 102 , so that the first hook 3021 is engaged in the slot, and the slot is adapted to the first hook 3021 .

[0052] In this embodiment, the second shielding sheet 302 is constructed in a U-shape, so that spring pieces 303 are arranged on three sides of the base 1, and the spring pieces 303 corresponding to the first shielding sheet 301 are arranged on another side of the base 1, so that spring pieces 303 are arranged on all sides of the base 1, ensuring that when the optical module proposed in this embodiment is working, no matter what posture the base 1 is in, the PCBA 4 can be grounded through the spring pieces 303. In this embodiment, the head 402 of the PCBA 4 is arranged in a closed space surrounded by the first shielding sheet 301 and the second shielding sheet 302.

[0055] The inner bottom surface 202 is provided with an elastic protrusion 201, which protrudes toward the inside of the housing 2. The elastic protrusion 201 is elastic. When the housing 2 and the base 1 are assembled, the elastic protrusion 201 abuts against the base 1 under the action of elastic force, thereby improving the stability of the assembly of the housing 2 and the base 1. And under the elastic force of the elastic protrusion 201, after the housing 2 and the base 1 are assembled, the inner top surface 206 of the housing 2 and the plane of the base 1 relative to the inner top surface 206 are in contact with each other, thereby reducing the gap between the base 1 and the housing 2 and improving the electromagnetic interference shielding performance of the optical module.

[0056] The housing 2 is provided with a third plug hole 204, which is inserted into the triangular protrusion 101, and the third plug hole 204 and the second plug hole are arranged to overlap in the axis direction of the third plug hole 204 or the second plug hole, thereby further improving the connection stability between the housing 2 and the base 1.

[0057] In this embodiment, a first columnar member 106 is further provided on the side of the base 1. The space between the first columnar member 106 and the second columnar member 105 clamps part of the U-shaped hole 406. After the outer shell 2 and the base 1 are assembled, the cylindrical surface of the first columnar member 106 rests on the inner wall surface of the outer shell 2.

[0058] The process of assembling the optical module in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 4 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10As shown, the head of PCBA 4 is inserted into the first jack 3011, and the outer plane 3014 of the first shielding sheet 301 is aligned with the disc surface 403, and then the second jack 3012 of the first shielding sheet 301 is inserted into the triangular protrusion 101, and the cylindrical groove 404 of PCBA 4 and the semicircular groove 108 of the base 1 are matched, so that the arc surface of PCBA 4 is aligned with the inner space of the cylindrical groove 404. Then the second shielding sheet 302 is assembled on the base 1, and the shell 2 is sleeved on the base 1, so that the third jack is inserted into the triangular protrusion 101, and the elastic protrusion 201 is against the outer wall surface of the base 1, and the second columnar member is against the inner wall surface of the shell 2. Finally, the base 1 and the shell 2 are fixed by the countersunk screw 6, and the PCBA 4, the base 1 and the shell 2 are fixed together by the pan head screw 5 passing through the screw hole 203, the screw hole 405 and the screw hole 104.
