Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a satellite micro-density space optical cable connector insertion and removal alignment device and method, in the field of spacecraft laser communication technology. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of fiber optic communication, optical cable connectors are responsible for enabling signal transmission between optical fibers and ensuring the stability and reliability of transmission. FC connectors, as the most common type of movable optical cable connector, offer a flexible and detachable connection method. FC optical cable connectors primarily achieve optical signal interconnection through adapters. During the insertion or removal of the adapter, the angle between the FC pins and the adapter's ceramic sleeve causes stress concentration in the ceramic sleeve, potentially leading to breakage of the internal ceramic sleeve. This significantly impacts the debugging and assembly of laser communication systems, severely affecting the smooth progress of project tasks.

[0003] Currently, the insertion and removal of FC type active connectors are mainly done manually. This process carries the risk of ceramic sleeve breakage. To avoid the ceramic sleeve of the adapter breaking due to tilted insertion of FC optical cable connectors, it is urgent to develop a satellite micro-density space optical cable connector insertion and removal alignment device to assist in the insertion and separation of FC optical cable connectors and adapters, ensuring the service life of the adapter while improving production efficiency and product quality. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the aforementioned defects and provide a device and method for aligning and inserting optical cable connectors in satellite microspace, solving the technical problem that the insertion and removal of optical cable connectors in satellite microspace cannot achieve a 100% first-pass yield. This invention allows operators to complete the insertion and removal of optical cable connectors in satellite microspace, improving production efficiency while avoiding the breakage of the adapter ceramic sleeve due to tilted insertion and removal of FC optical cable connectors, achieving a 100% insertion and removal yield.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A satellite micro-density space optical cable connector insertion and removal alignment device includes: a base module, a directional guide pin, and a clamping module; The base module includes a base and a resilient top post mounted on the base; the base is mounted on the outside of the target adapter; the resilient top post is used to lock the base and the target adapter together. The clamping module is used to clamp FC optical cable connectors; The two ends of the directional guide pin are connected to the base module and the clamping module, respectively, and are used to guide the FC optical cable connector horizontally, so that the FC optical cable connector can be horizontally inserted into the target adapter from the clamping module or horizontally pulled out from the target adapter.

[0006] Furthermore, the shape of the base mounting surface matches the target adapter, and when the base is installed on the outside of the target adapter, the base mounting surface fits tightly with the outer surface of the target adapter.

[0007] Furthermore, the base has a rectangular frame structure; The flexible top posts are set on the upper and lower edges of the base; The base is provided with guide holes, which are located on both sides of the base. The upper frame of the base has an opening. After the FC optical cable connector is plugged in, the base module can be detached from the target adapter through the opening, or the base module can be installed with the target adapter through the opening before the FC optical cable connector is pulled out.

[0008] Furthermore, the resilient top post includes a threaded housing, a metal ball, a spring, and a screw; The outer side of the threaded housing connects to the base; The threaded housing contains a screw, a spring, and a metal ball arranged in sequence. The screw is fixed to the first end of the threaded housing, and the second end of the threaded housing has a metal ball inlet and outlet. The screw compresses or releases the spring along the threaded inner surface of the threaded housing, causing the metal ball to extend from the metal ball inlet and outlet to lock the target adapter or retract to release the lock on the target adapter.

[0009] Furthermore, during the insertion and removal of the FC optical cable connector, the directional guide pin is coaxial with the ceramic sleeve of the target adapter.

[0010] Furthermore, the clamping module includes an upper cover plate, a lower cover plate, and a magnetic closure; The upper and lower cover plates are combined on the first side by a directional guide pin to form a hinge structure. The second side of the upper and lower cover plates is equipped with magnetic attraction. When the upper and lower cover plates are opened, the upper cover plate is rotated around the directional guide pin as the pivot. When the upper and lower cover plates are fastened together, they are connected by magnetic attraction. The FC optical cable connector is clamped between the upper and lower cover plates.

[0011] Furthermore, the front end of the upper cover plate is provided with a claw, which is used to limit the nut of the FC optical cable connector; The front end of the top cover plate is provided with a positioning protrusion, which is used to cooperate with the glue injection groove of the FC optical cable connector to realize the positioning of the FC optical cable connector.

[0012] Furthermore, during the insertion and removal of the FC optical cable connector, the key of the FC optical cable connector is aligned with the keyway of the target adapter.

[0013] A method for aligning and removing satellite micro-density space optical cable connectors, implemented using the aforementioned satellite micro-density space optical cable connector alignment and removal device, includes: Connection method: Open the clamping module, place the FC optical cable connector into the clamping module, and rotate the FC optical cable connector to position the keyway of the FC optical cable connector; Install the base module on the outside of the target adapter; Connect the directional guide pin to the base module; Push the clamping module forward, and under the guidance of the directional guide pin, push the FC optical cable connector key into the adapter keyway to complete the insertion of the FC optical cable connector. How to pull it out: Open the clamping module and place the FC optical cable connector into the clamping module; Install the base module on the outside of the target adapter; Connect the directional guide pin to the base module; Push the clamping module backward, and under the guidance of the directional guide pin, complete the removal of the FC optical cable connector; Remove the FC fiber optic connector from the clamping module and detach the base module from the target adapter.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least one of the following advantages: (1) The present invention, through its unique base structure, can meet the application scenario of close-packed adapters with zero gaps, and at the same time achieves the functions of precise positioning and fixation; (2) The present invention effectively utilizes the glue injection groove inside the FC optical cable connector as a positioning groove and designs positioning points on the device so that the FC optical cable connector will not rotate during insertion and removal. The FC optical cable connector key is always aligned with the key groove of the adapter, thus realizing the function of positioning the FC key direction.

[0015] (3) During the insertion and removal process of this invention, the FC pin and the ceramic sleeve of the adapter are always coaxial, and there is no phenomenon of insertion and removal at an angle, which can ensure that the ceramic sleeve of the adapter is absolutely safe.

[0016] (4) The present invention is fixed with the adapter structure and adopts an elastic top bead design to prevent excess material from remaining in the compartment. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The features and advantages of the present invention will become clearer and more apparent from the following detailed description.

[0020] The term “exemplary” as used herein means “serving as an example, embodiment, or illustration.” Any embodiment illustrated herein as “exemplary” is not necessarily to be construed as superior to or better than other embodiments. Although various aspects of embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale unless specifically indicated otherwise.

[0021] Satellite laser communication terminals are characterized by high bandwidth, small size, light weight, and low power consumption, making them an effective means of achieving high-speed satellite communication. The optical signals inside a spaceborne laser communication terminal are typically transmitted via fiber optic cable plug-in or fusion splicing. When the terminal needs to interconnect with an external optical link, it must be connected to an external fiber optic connector via an adapter. Currently, when connecting or disconnecting the fiber optic cable assembly (FC-type movable connector) to the adapter interface of the laser communication terminal, the FC fiber optic connector is manually aligned. This process results in angled insertion and removal. Analysis shows that when the insertion / removal angle is greater than 3°, stress concentration occurs in the ceramic sleeve, ultimately leading to its breakage and product failure.

[0022] Specifically, the existing methods for plugging and unplugging optical cable connectors have the following problems: (1) During manual insertion and removal, it is impossible to ensure that the FC pin and the adapter ceramic sleeve are coaxial, resulting in angular insertion and removal. When the angle is greater than 3°, the adapter ceramic sleeve is prone to breakage.

[0023] (2) The optical cable connector insertion and removal alignment must be completed in the micro-space of the satellite, and the device must be small in size and light in weight.

[0024] (3) For polarization-maintaining optical cable assemblies, during the insertion process, the key of the optical cable connector must be aligned with the keyway of the adapter. When the operating space is narrow, the operator cannot observe.

[0025] (4) It is necessary to realize the insertion and removal of FC optical cable connectors when the FC adapters are densely distributed in multiple rows.

[0026] With the increasing application of spaceborne laser communication, the requirements for the insertion and removal technology of satellite micro-density optical cable connectors are also becoming more and more stringent. The traditional manual insertion and removal method of optical cable connectors is difficult to meet the current needs. There is an urgent need to develop a satellite micro-density optical cable connector insertion and removal alignment device to assist in the docking of FC type movable connectors and adapters. In order to avoid the cracking of the adapter ceramic sleeve due to tilting the insertion and removal of FC type movable connectors, the safety, reliability and production efficiency of the products can be guaranteed.

[0027] The conceptual idea of ​​this invention is: (1) By designing directional guide pins, the FC connector and the adapter are made coaxial, avoiding angled plugging and unplugging.

[0028] (2) The device is designed as an integrated structure to achieve miniaturization and enable operators to plug and unplug optical cable connectors in the micro-space of the satellite.

[0029] (3) The device is designed with elastic top ball positioning points. During the insertion and removal process, the FC optical cable connector will not rotate and no new screws are needed for fixing. This ensures that the key of the FC optical cable connector is always aligned with the keyway of the adapter while preventing the generation of foreign objects.

[0030] (4) The structure of the positioning base should be designed reasonably to meet the requirements of FC optical cable connector insertion and removal when the adapters are closely arranged.

[0031] like Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the optical cable connector insertion and removal alignment device. The optical cable connector insertion and removal alignment device consists of three parts: base module 1, directional guide pin 2, and clamping module 3.

[0032] The base module 1 is assembled with the target adapter, serving a positioning function; simultaneously, it tightly engages with the target adapter to prevent the alignment device from loosening, thus providing a fixing function. The directional guide pin 2 is fixed to the base module 1, providing horizontal guidance so that the FC optical cable connector can be inserted and removed horizontally and linearly. The clamping module 3 is adapted to the FC optical cable connector, effectively utilizing the glue injection groove inside the FC optical cable connector as a positioning groove, preventing the FC optical cable connector from rotating during insertion and removal. The FC optical cable connector key position always aligns with the adapter's keyway, achieving the function of positioning the FC key position direction; at the same time, it limits the position of the nut, ensuring that the nut does not obstruct the key position during connector insertion and removal, allowing the operator to always see the key position direction, enabling safe connector insertion and removal with a 100% pass rate.

[0033] like Figure 2As shown, the base module 1 of the optical cable connector insertion and removal alignment device consists of two parts: a base 11 and a flexible top post 12. The base module is 19mm long, 27mm wide, and 7mm thick, reflecting its miniaturization and making it convenient for operators to hold and operate.

[0034] The base 11 adopts an overhead structure that can cover the surface of the adapter, avoiding interference between the sides of the base 11 and the adjacent adapters. Even when the adapters are closely packed with zero gaps, the base 11 can still be installed on the target adapter.

[0035] The gap between the upper and lower edges of the base 11 is consistent with the width of the adapter, which facilitates a tight fit with the adapter. At the same time, four sharp corners are designed on the upper and lower edges according to the shape of the adapter, which can be adapted to the shape of the adapter and play a role in precise positioning.

[0036] The upper frame of the base 11 has an opening with a width of 3.5mm, which is larger than the outer diameter of the optical cable (i.e., the FC optical cable connector), so that the insertion and removal alignment device can be detached from the optical cable after the insertion is completed.

[0037] like Figure 3 The upper and lower edges of the base 11 are each fitted with two elastic top posts 12. Each elastic top post 12 consists of four parts: a screw, a threaded housing 121, a metal ball 122, and a spring 123. The elastic top post 12 is connected to the edge of the base 11 through the threaded housing 121. The elastic top post 12 contains a spring 123 and a metal ball 122. The metal ball 122 has the function of free extension and retraction. When the base 11 is assembled onto the adapter, the metal ball 122 can effectively prevent scratching the side of the adapter. At the same time, under the action of the screw and the spring 123, the metal ball 122 applies clamping force to the upper and lower surfaces of the adapter respectively, thereby fixing the base 11.

[0038] like Figure 4 The directional guide pin 2 is perpendicular to the adapter mounting surface and can guide the clamping module 3 to move horizontally. During the insertion and removal of the FC optical cable connector, the FC pin is always coaxial with the adapter ceramic sleeve, and there is no phenomenon of insertion and removal at an angle, which ensures that the adapter ceramic sleeve will not break.

[0039] On the other hand, the directional guide pin 2 acts as a pivot, which can make the upper cover of the clamping module 3 flip up to realize the hinge function.

[0040] like Figure 5 The clamping module 3 consists of three parts: an upper cover plate 31, a lower cover plate 32, and a magnetic 33. The upper cover plate 31 and the lower cover plate 32 are combined by directional guide pins 2 to form a hinge structure. The upper cover plate can be flipped, and the magnetic 33 enables the upper cover plate 31 and the lower cover plate 32 to be effectively attracted when they are fastened together.

[0041] like Figure 6 The front end of the upper cover plate 31 features a "hook"-shaped claw to limit the nut of the FC optical cable connector, ensuring that the nut does not obstruct the key positions during connector insertion and removal, allowing the operator to always see the key position orientation. The upper cover plate 31 is milled according to the external dimensions of the FC optical cable connector to ensure a tight fit between the upper cover plate and the FC optical cable connector. A positioning point is provided at the front end of the upper cover plate 31, effectively utilizing the glue injection groove inside the FC optical cable connector as a positioning groove. This prevents the FC optical cable connector from rotating during insertion and removal, ensuring that the FC optical cable connector key positions are always aligned with the adapter's key slots, thus achieving the function of positioning the FC key positions.

[0042] like Figure 7 According to the external dimensions of the FC optical cable connector, the lower cover plate 32 is machined and milled so that the upper cover plate 31 and the lower cover plate 32 can effectively fix the FC optical cable connector after they are closed.

[0043] like Figure 8 The satellite micro-density space optical cable connector insertion and removal method includes the following steps: 1. Optical cable connector insertion method: The fiber optic connector insertion includes: (1) assembling the FC fiber optic connector with the insertion and removal alignment device, (2) installing the insertion and removal alignment device, and (3) inserting the fiber optic connector.

Rotate the FC optical cable connector until the positioning point at the front end of the upper cover plate 31 is engaged with the glue injection groove of the FC optical cable connector. At this point, the key position orientation of the FC optical cable connector is positioned.

[0045] (2) Install the insertion and alignment device The base module 1 of the hand-held plug-in alignment device is aligned with the target adapter, and the device is assembled onto the target adapter in the direction perpendicular to the adapter mounting surface.

[0046] (3) Optical cable connector insertion a. Push the clamping module 3 forward, and under the guidance of the directional guide pin 2, push the FC optical cable connector key into the adapter keyway; b. Open the upper cover 31; c. Tighten the nuts on the FC optical cable connector by hand. d. Remove the insertion / removal alignment device; e. Use a torque wrench to tighten the nut of the FC optical cable connector to complete the insertion of the FC optical cable connector.

[0047] Optical cable connector unplugging method: The fiber optic connector insertion process includes: (1) fully loosening the nut of the FC fiber optic connector, (2) installing the insertion alignment device, and (3) separating the fiber optic connector from the adapter.

[0048] (1) Loosen the nut of the FC optical cable connector completely so that the FC optical cable connector can be pulled out. (2) Install the insertion and alignment device; a. Open the upper cover 31; b. Insert the optical cable into the insertion and alignment device through the opening on the upper frame of the base 11; c. Align the base module 1 of the hand-held plug-in alignment device with the target adapter, and assemble the device onto the target adapter in the direction perpendicular to the adapter mounting surface; d. Fasten the upper cover plate 31; (3) Separate the optical cable connector from the adapter; a. Push the clamping module 3 backward to separate the FC optical cable connector from the adapter under the guidance of the directional guide pin 2; b. Open the upper cover 31 and take out the FC optical cable connector; c. Disconnect the plug-in alignment device from the adapter.

[0049] This invention employs a satellite micro-space optical cable connector insertion and removal alignment device. Through the optical cable connector insertion and removal alignment device with an integrated structure design, it solves the problem of achieving a 100% first-time pass rate for optical cable connector insertion and removal in satellite micro-space, and eliminates the possibility of cracks and damage to ceramic sleeves caused by angular deviations in the adapter.

[0050] This invention employs a satellite micro-density space optical cable connector insertion and removal alignment device. Through its unique base structure, it can meet the application scenarios of adapters being densely packed with zero gaps, while also achieving precise positioning and fixation.

[0051] This invention effectively utilizes the glue injection groove inside the FC optical cable connector as a positioning groove and designs positioning points on the device to prevent the FC optical cable connector from rotating during insertion and removal. The FC optical cable connector key is always aligned with the key slot of the adapter, thus realizing the function of positioning the FC key direction.

[0052] During the insertion and removal process of this invention, the FC pin and the adapter ceramic sleeve are always coaxial, and there is no phenomenon of insertion and removal at an angle, which can ensure the absolute safety of the adapter ceramic sleeve.

[0053] The invention is fixed to the outside of the adapter structure and adopts an elastic top bead design to prevent excess material from remaining in the compartment.

[0054] In terms of application scenarios, this invention can meet the requirements of close-packed adapters with zero gaps, enabling precise positioning of the target adapter. Regarding structural design, the integrated design achieves miniaturization, allowing operators to perform fiber optic connector insertion and removal within the confined space of a satellite. In terms of safety and reliability, it ensures that there is no tilt angle between the ceramic pins and the ceramic sleeve during insertion and removal of the FC-type fiber optic connector, avoiding stress concentration in the ceramic sleeve caused by angular insertion and removal, thus achieving the effect of blind insertion of the FC fiber optic connector. This invention improves production efficiency while preventing adapter ceramic sleeve breakage due to tilted insertion and removal of the FC fiber optic connector, achieving a 100% insertion and removal success rate.

[0055] The satellite micro-space optical cable connector insertion and removal alignment device of the present invention can effectively solve the problem that it is difficult to successfully insert and remove optical cable connectors in satellite micro-space. Using this device, the operation is simple and convenient, significantly improving the operation efficiency. It is highly practical and has a strong prospect for promotion and application.

[0056] Compared to manual connector insertion and removal, this invention ensures absolutely no damage to the ceramic sleeve of the adapter, offering extremely high safety and reliability. In terms of production efficiency, compared to traditional methods, it eliminates the possibility of ceramic ferrule cracking and breakage during insertion in narrow spaces at high altitudes, achieving a 100% first-pass yield and reducing the quality issue of ceramic sleeve cracking in satellite optical cable connectors to zero. Furthermore, this invention is miniaturized, allowing for single-person handheld operation, making it easy to carry and suitable for confined spaces; it also allows for normal operation even with tightly packed adapters and zero gaps.

[0057] Therefore, this invention can be applied to various different usage scenarios, and has extremely broad application prospects and extremely high market competitiveness.
