Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of optical fibers, and in particular relates to a convenient optical fiber connector. Background Art

[0002] Optical fiber is the abbreviation of optical fiber. It is a fiber made of glass or plastic that can be used as a light transmission tool. Fiber optic connectors are needed to connect optical fibers. They precisely connect the two end faces of the optical fiber to maximize the coupling of the light energy output by the transmitting optical fiber to the receiving optical fiber, and minimize the impact on the system caused by its involvement in the optical link.

[0003] Existing optical fiber connecting components may become loose or even disintegrate under long-term use or external factors, making it impossible to ensure the stability of the connecting parts between optical fibers, affecting the transmission of optical fiber signals and causing the optical fibers to malfunction. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention provides a convenient optical fiber connector, the purpose of which is to solve the problem that existing optical fiber connecting components may cause the connecting components to loosen or even disintegrate due to long-term use and external factors, and cannot ensure the stability of the connecting parts between optical fibers, affecting the transmission of optical fiber signals and causing the optical fiber to fail to work normally.

[0005] An embodiment of the present invention provides a portable optical fiber connector, comprising an optical fiber A and an optical fiber B, wherein the optical fibers A and B are connected to each other via a connecting component, and protective components are movably mounted on the optical fibers A and B, and the connecting component is located inside the protective components;

[0006] The connecting component includes a connecting portion A and a connecting portion B. The connecting portion B includes a connector B fixedly connected to the optical fiber A, a protective sleeve B installed inside the connector B, and a connecting portion tube. The connecting portion A includes a connector A threadedly connected to the connector B, a protective sleeve A screwed inside the connector A, and an optical fiber core installed inside the protective sleeve A.

[0007] The leak-proof part and the ring B are fixedly connected inside the joint of the joint B. The joint of the joint B is movably provided with a variable column for expanding the leak-proof part.

[0008] A circular ring A is movably mounted on the inside of the joint A along its vertical centerline via tower spring A. A disassembly unit is movably mounted on joint A along its vertical centerline via tower spring B. A traction unit is movably mounted in the middle of joint A along its horizontal direction. A suction platform for actuating the traction unit is reserved on the outer ring of the disassembly unit. A tilted placement opening is reserved in joint A, in which a self-moving ball is mounted. A guide platform that cooperates with the ball is mounted on the circular ring A.

[0009] The guide platform is equipped with inclined guide walls C and barrier walls. When the ball presses the guide wall C, the ring A can move away from the ring B.

[0010] When connector A and connector B are firmly assembled, connector A can compress the variable column to expand the leak-proof part and make the inner surface of the leak-proof part tightly adhere to the outer surface of the protective sleeve A. The compression ring A and the ring B can be embedded with each other to tighten the connection between connector A and connector B.

[0011] When the suction stage is at the top of the joint A and pulls the disassembling part outward and returns the disassembling part, the disassembling part can press the traction part to allow the ball to drive the ring A and the ring B to separate through the guide stage.

[0012] Furthermore, a channel A for allowing the disassembling part to move and a channel B for allowing the pulling part to move are reserved in the joint A, and the placement port and the channel A and the channel B are connected to each other.

[0013] Furthermore, the suction platform is located at the top of channel B.

[0014] Furthermore, the side of the placement opening farther from the channel B is located on the side of the suction platform farther from the joint B, and the placement opening is tilted toward the outside of the joint A.

[0015] Furthermore, a plurality of teeth B are reserved on the outer circumference of the circular ring B, and a guide wall B is reserved on the teeth B. A plurality of teeth A are reserved on the inner circumference of the circular ring A, and a guide wall A cooperating with the guide wall B is reserved on the teeth A.

[0016] Furthermore, a contact wall for cooperating with the sphere is reserved on one side of the traction part, a compression surface is reserved on the other side of the traction part, a cooperation surface for cooperating with the compression surface on the traction part is reserved on the side of the disassembly part close to the joint B, and a sleeve is installed on the side of the disassembly part farther from the joint B. The contact wall and the compression surface are both arched.

[0017] Furthermore, when the joint A and the joint B are fastened, the traction part presses the disassembly part under the cooperation of the suction platform, and the ball is constrained by the traction part and is placed in the placement opening;

[0018] When connector A and connector B are disassembled, the ball is at the bottom of the traction part.

[0019] Furthermore, the variable column is connected via the tower spring C and the joint B.

[0020] Furthermore, the protective member includes a pair of protective tubes movably mounted on the optical fibers A and B. The opposing sides of the protective tubes are fixedly connected to magnetic rings, and the pair of magnetic rings are attracted to each other.

[0021] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0022] 1. The present invention allows the assembly of connectors A and B to be more stable through the cooperation of the circular ring A and the circular ring B. When the connecting part A and the connecting part B are disassembled, it can be completed by pulling the disassembly part. Moreover, when connectors A and B are in the connecting part state and when connectors A and B are in the disassembling state, the sleeve is in close contact with the wall surface of connector A to prevent connectors A and B from being disassembled due to unintentional contact with the sleeve, thereby ensuring the stability of the connecting part of connectors A and B, and being very convenient to use.

[0023] 2. In the present invention, after optical fiber A and optical fiber B are assembled, a pair of protective tubes are pushed to make them close to each other, and then they are attracted to each other through a pair of magnetic rings. The pair of protective tubes are sleeved on the outside of the connecting component to protect the connecting component. When optical fiber A and optical fiber B are disassembled, the pair of protective tubes are directly pulled toward both sides, and the pair of magnetic rings are separated from each other. After that, optical fiber A and optical fiber B can be disassembled, which is very convenient to use.

[0024] Other features and advantages of the present invention will be described in the following description, and in part will become apparent from the description, or will be understood by practicing the present invention. The purpose and other advantages of the present invention can be realized and obtained through the structures particularly pointed out in the description and the drawings.

[0042] Reference Figure 4 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 and Figure 11 The inside of the joint of joint B4 is fixedly connected with the leak-proof part 43 and the ring B44. The leak-proof part 43 is a ring-shaped and hollow rubber ring. The leak-proof part 43 is located between the protective sleeve B41 and the ring B44. The joint of joint B4 is movably provided with a variable column 45 used to expand the leak-proof part 43. One end of the variable column 45 is fixedly connected to the rubber platform. The variable column 45 is connected to the joint B4 via the tower spring C451. At the beginning, the joint A3 does not press the variable column 45, and the leak-proof part 43 is filled with air.

[0043] Reference Figure 4-Figure 9 、 Figure 11 and Figure 12 A circular variable piece 330 is movably installed inside the joint of the joint A3 along its vertical center line. The side of the variable piece 330 facing the joint B4 is fixedly connected to the circular ring A33 that cooperates with the circular ring B44. The side of the variable piece 330 farther from the joint B4 is connected to the joint A3 via the tower spring A331. A plurality of teeth B441 are reserved on the outer circumference of the circular ring B44. A guide wall B4411 is reserved on the teeth B441. Several teeth A332 are reserved on the inner circumference of the ring A33, and guide walls A3321 that cooperate with the guide wall B4411 are reserved on the teeth A332. A ring-shaped disassembly part 34 is movably installed on the joint A3 along its vertical centerline via the tower spring B341. A sleeve 342 is installed on the side of the disassembly part 34 farther from the joint B4. A channel A301 is reserved in the joint A3 to allow the disassembly part 34 to move. Initially, with the cooperation of the tower spring B341, the sleeve 342 and the joint A3 are in close contact.

[0044] Reference Figure 4-Figure 7 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10The traction part 35 is arranged in a movably horizontal direction in the connector A3, and a channel B302 is reserved in the connector A3 for the movement of the traction part 35. A suction platform 36 for attracting the traction part 35 is reserved at the outer ring of the disassembly part 34 on the connector A3. The suction platform 36 is a permanent magnet and is located at the top of the channel B302. A skewed placement opening 303 is reserved in the connector A3, and a sphere 37 that can move on its own is arranged in the placement opening 303. A guide platform 38 that cooperates with the sphere 37 is fixedly connected to the outer peripheral surface of the variable piece 330; the placement opening 303 and the channel A301 and the channel B302 are connected to each other, and the side of the placement opening 303 farther from the channel B302 is located at the suction platform 3 6 is located on the side farther from the joint B4, and the placement opening 303 is tilted toward the outside of the joint A3; one side of the traction portion 35 is provided with a contact wall 351 for cooperating with the ball 37, and the other side of the traction portion 35 is provided with a pressing surface 352. The side of the disassembly portion 34 close to the joint B4 is provided with a cooperation surface 343 for cooperating with the pressing surface 352 on the traction portion 35. Both the contact wall 351 and the pressing surface 352 are arched. The guide platform 38 is provided with a tilted guide wall C381 and a barrier wall 382. When the ball 37 presses the guide wall C381 toward one side, the ring A33 can move toward the side away from the ring B44, thereby facilitating the disassembly between the rings A33 and B44.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The protective member 5 includes a pair of protective tubes 51 movably mounted on the optical fiber A1 and the optical fiber B2. The opposing sides of the protective tubes 51 are fixedly connected to magnetic rings 52, and the pair of magnetic rings 52 are attracted to each other.

[0046] After the optical fiber A1 and the optical fiber B2 are assembled, the pair of protective tubes 51 are pushed to make them close to each other, and then they are attracted to each other through the pair of magnetic rings 52, so that the pair of protective tubes 51 are placed on the outside of the connecting component to protect the connecting component. When disassembling the optical fiber A1 and the optical fiber B2, the pair of protective tubes 51 are directly pulled toward both sides, and the pair of magnetic rings 52 are separated from each other. After that, the optical fiber A1 and the optical fiber B2 can be disassembled, which is very convenient to use.

[0047] The specific implementation method is as follows: Taking the case where the suction platform 36 is at the top as an example, initially, when the connectors A3 and B4 are not connected together, the disassembly unit 34 cooperates with the tower spring B 341, and the sleeve 342 on the disassembly unit 34 is in close contact with the wall surface of the connector A3. The disassembly unit 34 blocks one side of the outer portion of the channel B 302. Under the cooperation of the suction platform 36, the pressure surface 352 on the traction unit 35 faces outward and is in close contact with the inner surface of the disassembly unit 34. The ball 37 is constrained by the traction unit 35 and is located in the placement opening 303.

[0048] Then, the connection between connector A3 and connector B4 is inserted, and then connector B4 on one side is kept stationary, and connector A3 is rotated toward one side to assemble connector A3 and connector B4. During this period, ring A33 slowly approaches ring B44, and connector A3 slowly presses the variable column 45, so that the optical fiber core 32 can be embedded in the connection tube 42. When ring A33 and ring B44 are in close contact, as connector A3 continues to rotate, tower spring A331 is shortened under pressure, and when the tooth A332 is facing the position between a pair of tooth teeth B441, tower spring A331 can press ring A33 and ring B44 to perform embedding. At this time, connector A3 cannot be rotated in the opposite direction. Due to the cooperation between the guide wall B4411 and the guide wall A3321, the connector A3 can continue to rotate, so that the connection between the connector A3 and the connector B4 can be more firmly established. The connector A3 presses the variable column 45 to expand the leak-proof part 43 and make the inner surface of the leak-proof part 43 closely adhere to the outer surface of the protective sleeve A31, thereby isolating the area where the optical fiber core 32 and the connecting part tube 42 are connected from the outside. When the connector A3 is rotated to the farthest point, the rotation of the connector A3 is canceled. At this time, the connection between the connector A3 and the connector B is very firm, and the ring A33 and the ring B44 are embedded with each other, so that the connector A3 and the connector B4 cannot be separated from each other.

[0049] When disassembling the connecting parts A and B, the connecting parts A and B are rotated together to position the suction platform 36 at the top of the joint A3. Then, the sleeve 342 is pulled away from the joint B4 to remove the disassembling part 34 and eliminate the obstruction on the outer side of the channel B302. At this time, the suction platform 36 can attract the traction part 35, so that the traction part 35 and the suction platform 36 are in close contact. At this time, the traction part 35 is removed and the constraint on the ball 37 in the placement opening 303 is released. The ball 37 slides into the channel B302 and is located at the bottom of the traction part 35. The ball 37 is now in contact with the guide wall C381.

[0050] The sleeve 342 is then pulled toward the side closest to the connector B4 to re-engage the sleeve 342 with the outer wall of the connector A3. During this time, the disassembly portion 34 can press the pressing surface 352 via the cooperating surface 343, causing the traction portion 35 to move inward. The traction portion 35 then presses the ball 37 via the contact wall 351, allowing the ball 37 to be smoothly pressed inward. This in turn presses the guide wall C381, causing the ring A33 to move away from the ring B44 and disassemble from the ring B44. The connector A3 can then be rotated in the opposite direction to disassemble the connection portion A from the connection portion B.

[0051] After the connection part A and the connection part B are disassembled, the variable column 45 and the leak-proof part 43 return to their original state under the cooperation of the tower spring C451.

[0052] Then, the connecting part A is rotated to allow the suction platform 36 to be at the top of the connector A3, and the sleeve 342 is pulled outward to separate the sleeve 342 from the wall of the connector A3, which allows the disassembly part 34 to be moved away and eliminates the obstruction on the outer side of the channel B302. At this time, the suction platform 36 can suck the traction part 35 to make the traction part 35 and the suction platform 36 closely contact each other. Then, the connection of the connector A3 is adjusted to be vertically upward. At this time, the ball 37 slides back into the placement opening 303 under its own weight, and then the sleeve 342 is pulled to make the sleeve 342 and the wall of the connector A3 closely contact each other again. At this time, under the cooperation of the suction platform 36, the pressure surface 352 on the traction part 35 contacts the inner surface of the disassembly part 34 outward. The ball 37 is constrained by the traction part 35 and is in the placement opening 303 and returns to the starting position.

Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are merely illustrative of the principles of the present invention.
