Description

Technical Field

[0002] With the rapid development of network technology, fiber-optic communication has gradually replaced conventional electrical communication technologies due to its numerous advantages, including high transmission speeds, long transmission distances, immunity to electromagnetic interference, and high security. Consequently, fiber-optic communication has become a major modern communication technology, widely used for information communication between various fiber-optic network devices.

[0003] In the fiber-optic communications industry, fiber-optic network equipment often incorporates optoelectronic conversion devices. These devices perform optoelectronic conversion on transmitted signals, converting electrical signals into optical signals and vice versa, enabling high-capacity and high-speed signal transmission.

[0051] In addition, it should be noted that in order to make the disclosed content more concise and easier to understand, the components with the same or similar functions in the following embodiments will be described using the same symbols, and the description of the same or equivalent features will be omitted.

[0052] The present application provides a photoelectric conversion device, which can be set in a fiber optic network device and can operate in a heat dissipation liquid with the fiber optic network device. The photoelectric conversion device includes a photoelectric conversion module and a covering film, wherein the photoelectric conversion module includes a photoelectric conversion module processing part, and the covering film covers the photoelectric conversion module processing part to provide a sealed execution environment for the photoelectric conversion module processing part. In this way, when the photoelectric conversion device operates in a heat dissipation liquid, the heat dissipation liquid can be prevented from penetrating the photoelectric conversion module processing part and affecting the operation of the photoelectric conversion module.

[0053] For the description of the embodiments disclosed in this application, please refer to Figures 1 to 8 .

[0054] At Figures 1 to 8 In the embodiment shown, a photoelectric conversion device 1 is provided, which can be used to transmit a signal, and the photoelectric conversion device 1 can be used with an optical fiber network device 2. The photoelectric conversion device 1 includes: a photoelectric conversion module 11, a device carrier 12, a glue 13, a covering film 14, a device cover 16 and a signal optical cable 18.

[0055] It should be noted that the optical fiber network device 2 can be immersed in a heat dissipation liquid L with high thermal conductivity, allowing the optical fiber network device 2 to operate in a liquid heat dissipation environment. Heat generated by the operation of the optical fiber network device 2 can be quickly dissipated through the heat dissipation liquid, thereby improving the performance and lifespan of the optical fiber network device 2. Accordingly, the photoelectric conversion device 1 can be immersed in the heat dissipation liquid L along with the optical fiber network device 2.

[0056] The photoelectric conversion module 11 includes a photoelectric conversion module processing portion 111 and a photoelectric conversion module interface portion 112. The photoelectric conversion module processing portion 111 is capable of performing photoelectric conversion processing on the signal, where photoelectric conversion processing refers to converting an electrical signal into an optical signal, or vice versa. The photoelectric conversion module interface portion 112 is capable of interfacing with the optical network device 2 to transmit the signal to the optical network device 2.

[0057] Regarding the equipment carrier 12, the equipment carrier 12 includes a carrier internal space S12 and a carrier docking port P121. The equipment carrier 12 is provided to carry the photoelectric conversion module 11, so that the photoelectric conversion module processing part 111 is accommodated in the carrier internal space S12, and the photoelectric conversion module docking part 112 is located at the carrier docking port P121 to provide docking with the optical fiber network device 2. Figure 5As shown, the device carrier 12 includes a frame-shaped cross section that can form the carrier internal space S12. However, this is not limited to this. For example, Figure 4 As shown, the device carrier 12 includes a U-shaped cross-section capable of forming the carrier internal space S12.

[0058] The adhesive 13 fills the carrier's internal space S12 to form a sealed subspace S121 within the carrier's internal space S12. The photoelectric conversion module processing unit 111 is located within the sealed subspace S121, providing a sealed operating environment for the photoelectric conversion module processing unit 111. Therefore, if the photoelectric conversion device 1 along with the optical fiber network device 2 is immersed in the heat dissipation liquid L, the adhesive 13 prevents the heat dissipation liquid L from seeping into the sealed subspace S121, thereby improving the waterproof performance of the photoelectric conversion device 1.

[0059] It should be noted that in the above embodiment, the adhesive 13 can be, but is not limited to, epoxy resin (EPOXY). Furthermore, the photoelectric conversion module 11 can perform photoelectric conversion processing within the sealed subspace S121. Thus, when the photoelectric conversion device 1 is immersed in the heat dissipation liquid L and operates, the heat dissipation liquid L is prevented from seeping in and affecting the photoelectric conversion processing of the photoelectric conversion module 11, thereby effectively improving the operating efficiency and lifespan of the photoelectric conversion device 1.

[0060] At Figures 2 to 3 In the illustrated embodiment, the photoelectric conversion device 1 further includes a stopper 19 located between the carrier interior space S12 and the carrier docking port P121 to prevent the adhesive 13 from entering the carrier docking port P121 from the carrier interior space S12. It should be noted that the stopper 19 and the device carrier 12 can be formed integrally or separately.

[0061] Regarding the covering film 14, the covering film 14 covers the photoelectric conversion module processing part 111 in the internal space S12 of the carrier to separate the adhesive 13 from the photoelectric conversion module processing part 111. Therefore, the covering film 14 can prevent the adhesive 13 from adhering to the photoelectric conversion module processing part 111, thereby preventing the adhesive 13 from affecting the photoelectric conversion module processing part 111.

[0062] It should be noted that Figure 6In the illustrated embodiment, the adhesive 13 can be omitted, and the coating 14 can alternatively cover the photoelectric conversion module processing portion 111 to form a sealed subspace S121. The photoelectric conversion module processing portion 111 is located within the sealed subspace S121, which provides a sealed operating environment for the photoelectric conversion module processing portion 111. Therefore, if the photoelectric conversion device 1 along with the optical fiber network device 2 is immersed in the heat dissipation liquid L, the coating 14 can prevent the heat dissipation liquid L from seeping into the sealed subspace S121, thereby improving the waterproof performance of the photoelectric conversion device 1.

[0063] Regarding the device cover 16, the device cover 16 covers the device carrier 12. In the above embodiment, the device cover 16 can limit the position of the adhesive 13 to shield the internal space S12 of the signal carrier, and allow the adhesive 13 to be located in the internal space S12 of the signal carrier to meet the aesthetic requirements.

[0064] Regarding the signal optical cable 18, it can pass through the adhesive 13 and the coating 14 and connect to the photoelectric conversion module processing portion 111 to transmit the signal. It should be noted that the signal optical cable 18 includes a signal optical fiber (fiber core), which can be made of glass or plastic to transmit the signal.

[0065] At Figure 8 In the illustrated embodiment, the photoelectric conversion device 1 further includes a first cooling member 15. The first cooling member 15 is located in the sealed subspace S121 and contacts the photoelectric conversion module processing portion 111 to absorb heat from the photoelectric conversion module processing portion 111, thereby cooling the photoelectric conversion module processing portion 111. Accordingly, the covering film 14 can also cover the first cooling member 15 to separate the adhesive 13 from the first cooling member 15, thereby preventing the adhesive 13 from adhering to the first cooling member 15.

[0066] Preferably, the first cooling member 15 can be a heat-conducting metal member to conduct heat away from the photoelectric conversion module processing portion 111. Furthermore, the first cooling member 15 can be a water block including a first cooling member water channel 151. The first cooling member water channel 151 can provide a coolant flow to conduct heat away from the photoelectric conversion module processing portion 111, thereby cooling the photoelectric conversion module processing portion 111.

[0067] At Figure 7In the embodiment shown, the photoelectric conversion device 1 also includes a second cooling member 17, which is located in the internal space S12 of the carrier. One end of the second cooling member 17 passes through the coating film 14 and contacts the photoelectric conversion module processing part 111 to absorb heat from the photoelectric conversion module processing part 111, and the other end of the second cooling member 17 passes through the adhesive 13 and contacts the device cover 16 to conduct the heat absorbed from the photoelectric conversion module processing part 111 to the outside through the device cover 16, thereby achieving cooling of the photoelectric conversion module processing part 111.

[0068] Preferably, the device carrier 12 can be a heat-conducting metal carrier capable of conducting heat. The second cooling member 17 can be a heat-conducting metal member capable of conducting heat. The device cover 16 can be a heat-conducting metal cover capable of conducting heat. The device carrier 12 can optionally contact the device cover 16 to absorb heat from the photoelectric conversion module processing portion 111, thereby cooling the device cover 16 and accelerating the cooling of the photoelectric conversion module processing portion 111.

[0069] It should be noted that the photoelectric conversion device of the present application can also omit some components or structures and is not limited to the above embodiments.

[0070] For example, the photoelectric conversion device of the present application may optionally include: a photoelectric conversion module, a device carrier, a plastic material, and a coating film.
