However, in the implementation process of the related art, the concentricity of the inner and outer cylindrical surfaces of the rotating member and the assembly tolerance of the rotating member and the insertion hole of the ferrule have a great influence, which reduces the overall assembly precision, and further affects the alignment effect between the optical fibers.

[0012] In some possible implementation manners, the ferrule body is provided with a placement cavity, the placement cavity is provided with the rectangular groove at a bottom wall, and the surrounding member is overlapped with a cavity wall of the placement cavity, and at least one side of the surrounding member and the cavity wall of the placement cavity form a glue containing groove.
[0013] In some possible implementation manners, the rectangular cavities are provided in at least two, the through cavities are provided in at least two, and the at least two through cavities and the at least two rectangular cavities are arranged in one-to-one correspondence, and the connection portions of all the single-core optical fibers in each group of the single-core optical fiber groups are partially limited in the through cavities.

[0018] Advantages of the present application:
[0019] The optical fiber ferrule structure provided by the application comprises a ferrule and at least one single-core optical fiber group. Before each single-core optical fiber group is installed, all single-core optical fibers in each single-core optical fiber group are arranged in a matrix, and the butt joint portions of all single-core optical fibers in each single-core optical fiber group pass through the penetrating cavity and are limited in the rectangular cavity.

In addition, the alignment accuracy of the single-core optical fiber group and the multi-core optical fiber is mainly affected by one factor of the rectangular cavity, thereby solving the problem of reduced overall assembly accuracy caused by assembly gaps, reducing the influence on the alignment effect between optical fibers, and further reducing the influence on the transmission performance during butt joint. Furthermore, by processing the rectangular cavity, the single-core optical fiber group can be constrained, and the structure is relatively simple. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0042] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0043] Example 1
[0044] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this embodiment provides an optical fiber ferrule structure, including a ferrule 1 and at least one set of single-core optical fiber groups 2. The ferrule 1 is provided with a penetration cavity 11 and at least one rectangular cavity 12, and the rectangular cavity 12 is connected to the penetration cavity 11. At least one set of single-core optical fiber groups 2 is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with at least one rectangular cavity 12. Each set of single-core optical fiber groups 2 includes at least two single-core optical fibers 21. The single-core optical fiber 21 includes a connecting part 211 and a docking part 212 connected in sequence. In each set of single-core optical fiber groups 2, all single-core optical fibers 21 are arranged in a matrix, and the connecting parts 211 of all single-core optical fibers 21 are partially disposed in the penetration cavity 11, and the docking parts 212 of all single-core optical fibers 21 are confined within the rectangular cavity 12.
[0045] Before installing each group of single-core fiber optic cables 2, all the single-core fibers 21 of each group of single-core fiber optic cables 2 are arranged in a matrix. The splice portion 212 of all the single-core fibers 21 in each group of single-core fiber optic cables 2 passes through the penetration cavity 11 and is confined within the rectangular cavity 12. Since all the single-core fibers 21 in each group of single-core fiber optic cables 2 are distributed in a matrix and confined within the rectangular cavity 12, after the single-core fiber optic cable 2 enters the rectangular cavity 12, the position of the single-core fiber optic cable 2 can be accurately defined due to the constraint of the rectangular cavity 12, and the single-core fiber optic cable 2 as a whole will not rotate. The rotation of a single single-core fiber 21 does not affect the alignment. In addition, the alignment accuracy of the single-core fiber optic cable 2 and the multi-core fiber is mainly affected by the rectangular cavity 12, which can solve the problem of reduced overall assembly accuracy due to assembly gaps, reduce the impact on the alignment effect between fibers, and thus reduce the impact on transmission performance during splicing. Furthermore, by processing the rectangular cavity 12, the single-core fiber optic cable 2 can be constrained, making the structure simpler.
[0046] Optionally, the outer diameter of the abutting portion 212 is smaller than the outer diameter of the connecting portion 211. Since the size of the rectangular cavity 12 matches the size of the single-core optical fiber 21, the outer diameter of the abutting portion 212 is made smaller, the size of the rectangular cavity 12 is made smaller, and the overall size of the ferrule 1 is reduced, thereby saving space and facilitating abutting.
[0047] Optionally, in the present embodiment, each group of single-core optical fiber groups 2 has four single-core optical fibers 21, the cross section of the rectangular cavity 12 is square, and the four single-core optical fibers 21 are distributed in a square and located in the rectangular cavity 12. In this way, the application scenario in which the core of the multi-core optical fiber has four cores can be met. In other embodiments, the number of single-core optical fibers 21 can be determined according to the actual application scenario.
[0048] Optionally, the rectangular cavity 12 is provided with a tapered cavity 121 at the opening near the side of the through cavity 11. In this way, it is convenient to insert the single-core optical fiber group 2 and improve the installation convenience. Further, the opening of the tapered cavity 121 is provided with a chamfer 122. In this way, when the single-core optical fiber group 2 is inserted, the damage of the opening to the single-core optical fiber group 2 can be reduced.
[0049] Optionally, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 7 , the ferrule 1 is provided with at least one rectangular hole, and the rectangular hole is used as the rectangular cavity 12. Through the above arrangement, the rectangular cavity 12 can be formed by machining the rectangular hole on the ferrule 1, which is convenient to form the rectangular cavity 12 and has small damage to the ferrule 1.
[0050] Optionally, the rectangular cavity 12 is provided with at least two, the through cavity 11 is provided with at least two, and the at least two through cavities 11 and the at least two rectangular cavities 12 are one-to-one corresponding. In each group of single-core optical fiber groups 2, the connecting portion 211 of all single-core optical fibers 21 is located in the through cavity 11. Through the above arrangement, the single-core optical fiber group 2 is limited in the corresponding through cavity 11, which can avoid the shaking of the single-core optical fiber group 2 in the through cavity 11. In other embodiments, the through cavity 11 is provided with one, and all the single-core optical fiber groups 2 are located in the same through cavity 11. In this way, the through cavity 11 is convenient to process.
[0051] Optionally, in order to facilitate the insertion with the plug sleeve in which the multi-core optical fiber is installed, the at least two rectangular cavities 12 are arranged at equal intervals on the ferrule 1. In order to facilitate alignment, the upper wall of the rectangular hole is parallel to the top surface of the ferrule 1. Optionally, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the ferrule 1 is provided with a guide pin hole 13 for insertion with the guide pin of the plug sleeve.
[0052] Optionally, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the ferrule 1 is provided with a receiving groove 14, which is in communication with all the through cavities 11. The ferrule structure further comprises a cover member 3, which is overlapped with the groove bottom of the receiving groove 14 and covers all the through cavities 11. In this way, glue can be poured into the through cavities 11 through the receiving groove 14, so as to fix the single-core fiber group 2 in the through cavities 11. By arranging the cover member 3, the single-core fiber group 2 can be prevented from being exposed.
[0053] Optionally, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 7 , the through cavity 11 comprises a first cavity 111 and a second cavity 112. The cover member 3 covers the first cavity 111, the second cavity 112 is in communication with the first cavity 111, and the second cavity 112 is a tapered hole. Since the second cavity 112 is a tapered hole, it is convenient to insert the single-core fiber group 2 into the through cavity 11. In addition, the opening of the tapered hole away from the first cavity 111 side can be used as a glue pouring port. By arranging the second cavity 112 as a tapered hole, it is convenient for the glue to enter the first cavity 111. Optionally, as shown in Figure 2 , the groove bottom of the receiving groove 14 comprises a first wall surface 141 and a second wall surface 142. The first wall surface 141 is used to overlap the cover member 3, and the second wall surface 142 is used to contact the glue. The height of the second wall surface 142 is lower than that of the first wall surface 141. In this way, more glue can be accommodated, and the structure is more stable.
[0054] During installation, after the single-core fiber group 2 is inserted into the rectangular cavity 12, the position of the single-core fiber group 2 can be prevented from changing. After the single-core fiber group 2 is installed, glue can be poured into the through cavity 11 from the receiving groove 14, or glue can be poured into the through cavity 11 from the opening of the second cavity 112. The glue can fill the entire through cavity 11. After the glue solidifies, the fixation of the single-core fiber group 2 on the ferrule 1 is realized. At the same time, the cover member 3 is placed on the groove bottom of the receiving groove 14. After the glue solidifies, the fixation of the cover member 3 on the ferrule 1 is also realized.
[0055] Embodiment Two
[0056] As shown in Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figures 8 to 14 , the embodiment provides a fiber ferrule structure, which comprises a ferrule 1 and at least one single-core fiber group 2. The main difference between the fiber ferrule structure provided by the embodiment and the embodiment one is that the structure forming the rectangular cavity 12 is different.

[0057] Optionally, the ferrule 1 comprises a ferrule body 10 and a surrounding member 20, the surrounding member 20 is covered on the ferrule body 10, at least one of the ferrule body 10 and the surrounding member 20 is provided with a rectangular groove 101 at the side close to each other, to form a rectangular cavity 12, that is, the rectangular groove 101 can be provided at the side close to each other of the ferrule body 10 and the surrounding member 20, the rectangular grooves 101 of the two are surrounded to form the rectangular cavity 12; or the rectangular groove 101 is provided at the side of the ferrule body 10 close to the surrounding member 20, and the surrounding member 20 and the rectangular groove 101 are surrounded to form the rectangular cavity 12; or the rectangular groove 101 is provided at the side of the surrounding member 20 close to the ferrule body 10, and the surrounding member 20 and the rectangular groove 101 are surrounded to form the rectangular cavity 12. The rectangular cavity 12 is formed by machining the rectangular groove 101, when machining the rectangular groove 101, since the inner wall of the rectangular groove 101 is all exposed, it is convenient to machine the rectangular groove 101 and make it have higher machining and assembling precision. In addition, after the single-core optical fiber group 2 is installed on the rectangular groove 101, the surrounding member 20 is covered on the ferrule body 10, by providing the rectangular groove 101, it is convenient to install the single-core optical fiber group 2.

After the surrounding member 20 is overlapped on the cavity wall of the placement cavity 102, the fixation of the surrounding member 20 on the ferrule body 10 is realized by pouring glue into the glue containing groove 30. In this embodiment, the opposite sides of the surrounding member 20 and the cavity wall of the placement cavity 102 are surrounded to form the glue containing groove 30, specifically, the opposite sides of the surrounding member 20 are provided with the first recess 201, and the side wall of the placement cavity 102 is correspondingly provided with the second recess, and the first recess 201, the second recess and the bottom wall of the placement cavity 102 are surrounded to form the glue containing groove 30. In this way, the reliable connection of the surrounding member 20 and the ferrule body 10 can be realized. Further, in order to facilitate the glue to enter the glue containing groove 30, the first recess 201 is provided with an inclined surface 202. In addition, in other embodiments, one side of the opposite sides of the surrounding member 20 and the cavity wall of the placement cavity 102 can also be surrounded to form the glue containing groove 30.

[0061] In the installation, after the single-core optical fiber group 2 is inserted into the rectangular groove 101, the position of the single-core optical fiber group 2 can be prevented from changing, after the single-core optical fiber group 2 is installed, the enclosing member 20 is pressed on the single-core optical fiber group 2, and glue is poured in the glue accommodating groove 30, after the glue solidifies, the fixing of the enclosing member 20 and the ferrule body 10 is realized. Then glue can be poured from the accommodating groove 14 to the penetrating cavity 11, or glue can be poured from the opening of the second cavity 112 to the penetrating cavity 11, so that the glue fills the entire penetrating cavity 11, after the glue solidifies, the fixing of the single-core optical fiber group 2 on the ferrule 1 is realized; at the same time, the cover member 3 is placed on the groove bottom of the accommodating groove 14, after the glue solidifies, the fixing of the cover member 3 on the ferrule 1 is also realized.
