[0002] An optical transceiver generally refers to a device that can realize the mutual conversion between optical signals and electrical signals. An optical module is the core implementation unit of the optical transceiver function, responsible for the conversion and transmission of optical and electrical signals, and is usually used in the interface slots (such as SFP, QSFP, etc. packaging forms) of network devices such as switches and routers. The composition of an SFP optical module includes: a laser (including a transmitter TOSA and a receiver ROSA), a circuit board IC, and external accessories. The external accessories are composed of a base, a PCBA, a pull ring, an unlocking member, a housing, and a buckle.

[0003] When assembling the external accessories, first fix the PCBA on the base, then install the pull ring and the unlocking member at the head of the base (the end away from the PCBA gold finger), and finally fix the housing on the base through the buckle. Since there is a direct mechanical cooperation relationship between the pull ring and the unlocking member, pulling the pull ring can trigger the action of the unlocking member, so that the optical module can be safely and conveniently pulled out from the device port.

[0004] The prior art refers to a housing structure for an SFP / SFP+ optical module disclosed in the publication number CN110989107A, including: a bottom case, an upper case, a sliding lock, a pull ring, a return spring, and a sheet metal spring piece. The optical module cavity formed by assembling the bottom case and the upper case is used to accommodate and fix the optical and electrical parts of the optical module. The sliding lock can be slidably installed in the bottom case and, under the push of the pull ring, advances to push up the spring lock on the metal cage on the upper case, so that the optical module is unlocked, and then the pull ring is pulled outwards to make the optical module exit the metal cage.

[0005] When the above prior art is used for plugging in an optical fiber, since there is no shielding at the port, dust easily enters from the port and lands on the return spring. After long-term use, the return spring is prone to reset failure due to dust accumulation, and it is necessary to clean or replace the return spring regularly to avoid the decrease in the spring force of the return spring after long-term use, resulting in difficult overall plugging and unplugging.

[0045] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is necessary to point out here that the following specific implementation manners are only used to further illustrate the present application and cannot be construed as limiting the protection scope of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application according to the above application content.

[0046] Refer to the accompanying Figures 1 to 9, An optical transceiver with a dust-proof function, comprising a transceiver body 1. The transceiver body 1 includes a base 11. One end of the base 11 is equipped with an unlocking member 12, and a pull ring 13 is installed on the unlocking member 12. A locking block 111 and a pull-ring fixing block 112 are fixedly provided on the base 11, and the locking block 111 is arranged on one side of the pull-ring fixing block 112. A first bayonet 1111 is formed inside the locking block 111, and a second bayonet 1112 is formed at one end of the top of the locking block 111. A third bayonet 1121 is formed inside the fixing block 112, and the opening of the third bayonet 1121 faces the opening of the first bayonet 1111; Card shafts 121 are fixedly provided at both ends of the unlocking member 12, and a card slot 122 is formed on the bottom surface of the unlocking member 12. A guiding inclined block 124 is fixedly provided on the card shaft 121; A protruding portion 131 is fixedly provided in the middle of the pull ring 13, and the protruding portion 131 is rotatably arranged inside the card slot 122. A locking piece 123 is fixedly provided on the side of the unlocking member 12 away from the pull ring 13; When the pull ring 13 rotates clockwise with the pull-ring fixing block 112 as the axis, the protruding portion 131 changes from horizontal to inclined, and the middle section of the protruding portion 131 jacks up the card slot 122, causing the side of the unlocking member 12 away from the locking piece 123 to move upward and form an inclined state. When the unlocking member 12 is in the inclined state, the guiding inclined block 124 is adapted to the second bayonet 1112. When the side of the unlocking member 12 away from the locking piece 123 moves downward and forms a horizontal state, the guiding inclined block 124 slides into the second bayonet 1112 along its inclined surface, and the card shaft 121 slides into the first bayonet 1111. When the pull ring 13 rotates counterclockwise, the protruding portion 131 changes from inclined to horizontal.

[0047] It should be noted that the clockwise rotation of the axis of the pull ring 13 is based on Figure 9 From a perspective, two sets of the locking block 111 and the pull-ring fixing block 112 are arranged oppositely, and the openings of the locking block 111 and the pull-ring fixing block 112 are arranged oppositely. The distance between the two sets of locking blocks 111 is greater than the distance between the two sets of pull-ring fixing blocks 112. The card shaft 121 is inserted into the locking block 111, and the end of the pull ring 13 with the protruding portion 131 is inserted into the pull-ring fixing block 112. The upper surface of the guiding inclined block 124 is an inclined surface. The locking block 111 is divided into two sections. The section close to each other is the inner section, and the second bayonet 1112 is located in the inner section and the top is open. The guiding inclined block 124 corresponds to the second bayonet 1112. The other section is the outer section. The height of the locking piece 123 is lower than the height of the main body of the unlocking member 12, that is, the sides of the unlocking member 12 and the locking piece 123 are in a Z shape. The shape of the card slot 122 is adapted to the shape of the protruding portion 131.

[0048] Furthermore, the pull ring 13 includes two sets of parallel Y columns. The two ends of the Y columns are vertically connected with X columns, and Z columns are connected to the X columns. The protruding portion 131 is fixedly connected to the Z column at the top of the Y column. A colored rubber sleeve is sleeved on the Z column connected to the bottom end of the Y column. The protruding portion 131 and the colored rubber sleeve are respectively located at the top and bottom of the base 11.

[0049] It should be noted that a concave section is provided between the Y column of the pull ring 13 and the X columns at both ends thereof, and the concave section is adapted to the end of the base 11.

[0050] Furthermore, a locking bump 125 is fixedly provided on the locking piece 123, a connecting groove 126 is formed in the unlocking member 12, an unlocking cavity 113 is formed in the base 11, the locking piece 123 is movably disposed inside the unlocking cavity 113, an outer shell 15 is detachably mounted on the base 11, a connecting piece 151 is fixedly provided at one end of the outer shell 15, and the connecting piece 151 is movably disposed inside the connecting groove 126. The outer shell 15 and the base 11 are fixedly connected by a snap component 152. A locking port 153 is formed in the outer shell 15, and the locking bump 125 penetrates through the inside of the locking port 153.

[0051] It should be noted that the outer shell 15 covers the base 11. The snap component 152 includes an inclined snap member and an inclined snap groove. The inclined snap member is fixed on the base 11, and the inclined snap groove is formed in the outer shell 15. When the locking bump 125 is snapped into the inside of the locking port 153 and the connecting piece 151 is snapped into the inside of the connecting groove 126, the unlocking member 12 and the pull ring 13 are in a locked state.

[0052] Furthermore, a circuit board 3 is installed inside the base 11, and an interface is provided at one end of the circuit board 3. A connecting chamber is provided at one end of the base 11 corresponding to the interface of the circuit board 3, and a dust cap 14 is movably disposed inside the connecting chamber.

[0053] It should be noted that when the dust cap 14 is inserted into the connecting chamber, it plays a role in dust prevention for the interface end of the circuit board 3.

[0054] In this embodiment, the implementation scenario is specifically as follows: At one end of the base 11, two sets of locking blocks 111 and pull-ring fixing blocks 112 are symmetrically arranged. The distance between the locking blocks 111 is greater than the distance between the pull-ring fixing blocks 112, and their openings face each other. The locking block 111 is divided into an inner section and an outer section with an open top. The inner section is used for guiding the insertion of the inclined block 124. A circuit board 3 is installed inside the base 11, and the interface end is protected by a dust cap 14. Unlocking cavities 113 are provided on both sides of the base 11 for accommodating the locking piece 123. Card shafts 121 are provided at both ends of the unlocking member 12, and a card slot 122 is opened on the bottom surface. The card slot 122 matches the shape of the protruding portion 131 of the pull ring. One side of the unlocking member 12 is connected to the locking piece 123. The height of the locking piece 123 is lower than that of the main body, and a locking convex point 125 is provided at the top. The pull ring 13 is composed of a Y column, an X column, and a Z column. The protruding portion 131 is located on the Z column at the top of the Y column, and a colored rubber sleeve is sleeved on the bottom Z column. The pull ring 13 drives the unlocking member 12 to act by flipping through the cooperation of the protruding portion 131 and the card slot 122. The housing 15 is fixed to the base 11 through a snap component 152. The connecting piece 151 is inserted into the connecting slot 126 of the unlocking member, and the locking convex point 125 of the locking piece 123 is snapped into the locking port 153 of the housing 15 to achieve double locking. When unlocking, pull the pull ring 13 to rotate clockwise with the pull-ring fixing block 112 as the axis. The protruding portion 131 changes from horizontal to inclined, and the middle section of the protruding portion 131 jacks up the card slot 122, causing the side of the unlocking member 12 away from the locking piece 123 to move upward and form an inclined state. The locking piece 123 enters the unlocking cavity 113, and the top of the locking piece 123 is flush with the locking port 153, facilitating the removal of the transceiver body 1 as a whole from the device. Conversely, when the pull ring 13 is rotated counterclockwise, the top of the locking piece 123 protrudes from the locking port 153, and the transceiver body 1 as a whole is clamped and fixed in the device. The whole locks and unlocks through the lever mechanism of the unlocking member 12 and the pull ring 13, canceling the reset spring to provide a reliable unlocking action and avoiding the failure of reset caused by dust accumulation, having ease of use, safety, and durability.
