[0019] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solution of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the specific embodiments of the present application and the corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0020] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described here, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are generally of one type, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object can be one or more.

[0021] The technical solutions disclosed in various embodiments of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The embodiment of the present application discloses an optoelectronic composite connector, which is used to connect an optoelectronic composite cable and a terminal device, and the terminal device may be an optoelectronic adapter. The end of the optoelectronic composite cable is connected to the optoelectronic composite connector to achieve optical and electrical connections between the optoelectronic composite cable and the optoelectronic composite connector, and the optoelectronic composite connector and the port of the terminal device can be plugged in and matched, so that the optoelectronic composite cable can achieve optical and electrical connections with the terminal device through the optoelectronic composite connector. In the scenario where a home user is in a power outage, the optoelectronic composite cable can still provide power and data transmission channels to the terminal device to ensure that the user can continue to use broadband Internet services.

[0023] The above-mentioned optoelectronic composite connector may include a shell 110 and a core 120. The shell 110 is provided with a shell cavity inside. The core 120 is arranged in the shell cavity of the shell 110. The core 120 is used to connect with the end of the optoelectronic composite cable extending into the shell cavity. According to the functional division, the core 120 can be divided into an optical connection part and an electrical connection part when connected to the optoelectronic composite cable. When the optoelectronic composite connector is plugged in with the terminal device, the structural connection, optical connection and electrical connection between the two can be realized at the same time, so that the optoelectronic composite cable can supply power to the terminal device through the optoelectronic composite connector and perform corresponding data interaction.

[0024] In actual use, the optoelectronic composite connector and the optoelectronic composite cable can be combined with each other to form an optoelectronic composite connection component. In order to facilitate the recording of relevant information of the optoelectronic composite connection component, a barcode label 130 can be set on the surface of the shell 110. The barcode label 130 can be attached to the surface of the shell 110 by bonding, or the above-mentioned barcode label 130 can be directly formed on the surface of the shell 110 by printing. The barcode label 130 serves as an information carrier and can record relevant information of the optoelectronic composite connection component. In an optional embodiment of the present application, the barcode label 130 at least includes configuration information of the optoelectronic composite connector, wherein the configuration information of the optoelectronic composite connector may include information such as the physical location, installation time, and usage time of the optoelectronic composite connector, and the configuration information of the optoelectronic composite connector can actually represent the configuration information of the optoelectronic composite connection component.

[0025] Combined with the actual installation scenario, the physical location of the optoelectronic composite connector may include the building number, floor number, communication cabinet number, etc. During the initial installation, the barcode recognition device may be used to identify the barcode label 130 on the optoelectronic composite connector, and the above-mentioned barcode label 130 may be initially configured. For example, the physical location, installation time and other information of the optoelectronic composite connector may be recorded and uploaded to the management platform at the same time, and identity information is assigned to the optoelectronic composite connector and the corresponding optoelectronic composite cable. During the operation and maintenance process, the optoelectronic composite connector and the corresponding optoelectronic composite cable may be quickly located through the management platform, thereby improving the efficiency of operation and maintenance to a certain extent.

[0026] It should be noted that the barcode recognition device can be a handheld barcode scanner, a mobile phone, a wearable device, etc. The management platform can be connected to the communication network where the optoelectronic composite connector and the optoelectronic composite cable are located. When the barcode label 130 is initially configured, the barcode recognition device can be used to identify the barcode label 130 and enter the configuration interface of the barcode recognition device. The operator can enter the configuration information of the optoelectronic composite connector in the configuration interface, such as the physical location and installation time of the optoelectronic composite connector, and then synchronize the configuration information to the management platform. The management platform can establish a mapping relationship between the physical location and the virtual location of the optoelectronic composite connector. When the management platform identifies that the virtual location where the optoelectronic composite connector is located has a fault, the physical location of the optoelectronic composite connector can be quickly located according to the mapping relationship, so that the physical location of the optoelectronic composite cable corresponding to the optoelectronic composite connector can be quickly located, so that the operator can perform operation and maintenance.

[0027] In addition, when the optoelectronic composite connector and the optoelectronic composite cable are combined to form an optoelectronic composite connection assembly, the barcode label 130 can also record information such as the product batch, rated voltage, maximum current and rated resistance of the optoelectronic composite cable. In order to ensure the safety of construction personnel, the barcode label 130 can also provide operation safety information, including but not limited to the operation video and electrical performance indicators of the optoelectronic hybrid cable. The operator can quickly obtain the above information contained in the barcode label 130 through electronic devices with code scanning function such as mobile phones and smart watches.

[0028] From the above, it can be seen that the optoelectronic composite connector disclosed in the embodiment of the present application improves the relevant technology, and uses the barcode label 130 as an information carrier, and then cooperates with the corresponding management platform and barcode recognition equipment, so that the configuration information of the optoelectronic composite connector can be quickly entered into the management platform, and the digital management of the configuration information can be realized, thereby improving the deployment efficiency of the optoelectronic composite connector and the optoelectronic composite cable, wherein the configuration information of the optoelectronic composite connector includes the physical location of the optoelectronic composite connector; and, in the subsequent operation and maintenance process, the barcode label 130 can also be used as the identity of the optoelectronic composite connector, and the physical location of the faulty node can be quickly located through the barcode label 130, thereby improving the efficiency of operation and maintenance.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the housing 110 may include a housing body 111 and a sheath 112, the housing cavity is provided in the housing body 111, the sheath 112 is connected to the open end of the housing body 111, and the sheath 112 and the housing body 111 may be assembled by bonding, clamping, etc. The sheath 112 is provided with a wire passage cavity for accommodating an optoelectronic composite cable, and the optoelectronic composite cable may extend into the housing cavity through the wire cavity, and the sheath 112 may prevent the optoelectronic composite cable from bending and abrasion, so as to protect the optoelectronic composite cable.

[0030] When setting the barcode label 130, the barcode label 130 can be set on the surface of the shell body 111, the barcode label 130 can also be set on the surface of the sheath 112, or the barcode label 130 can be set on the surface of both the shell body 111 and the sheath 112. The specific setting position of the barcode label 130 can be selected according to its own size, the surface area of ​​the shell body 111 and the sheath 112, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0031] In an optional embodiment of the present application, Figures 1 to 3As shown, considering that the surface of the sheath 112 has a large exposed area, the barcode label 130 can be set on the surface of the sheath 112, thereby improving the efficiency of the deployment of the barcode label 130. The barcode label 130 can be attached to the surface of the sheath 112 by bonding, or directly formed on the surface of the sheath 112 by printing.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the number of barcode labels 130 can be multiple, and the information contained in the multiple barcode labels 130 can be the same or different. For example, when the information to be recorded exceeds the upper limit of the capacity of a single barcode label 130, multiple barcode labels 130 can be used to record different information respectively; or, when the information contained in multiple barcode labels 130 is the same, when an individual barcode label 130 is difficult to be identified due to wear and tear, other barcode labels 130 can be identified, thereby improving the error tolerance rate.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in order to improve the wrapping of the sheath 112 on the optoelectronic composite cable, the sheath 112 can be a tubular structure, and a plurality of barcode labels 130 can be arranged at intervals along the circumference of the sheath 112, thereby improving the utilization rate of the surface area of ​​the sheath 112 and making it easier for the barcode recognition device to recognize the barcode label 130 from multiple angles.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the sheath 112 can be approximately a rectangular parallelepiped structure with one end narrowed. The sheath 112 can specifically include multiple side surfaces connected in sequence, and the multiple side surfaces together form a wire passage cavity, and the barcode label 130 is correspondingly arranged on the side surface. In a specific embodiment of the present application, the sheath 112 can include four side surfaces, and each side surface is correspondingly provided with a barcode label 130. Both ends of the sheath 112 are provided with opening structures to allow the optoelectronic composite cable to pass through, and the narrowed end is used to fix the optoelectronic composite cable to prevent the optoelectronic composite cable from sliding in the sheath 112.

[0035] The above-mentioned barcode label 130 may include one or a combination of a one-dimensional code label and a two-dimensional code label. In an optional embodiment of the present application, a two-dimensional code label may be used as an information carrier to obtain a larger information storage capacity.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the shell body 111 may include an outer shell 1111 and an inner shell 1112. The outer shell 1111 is sleeved outside the inner shell 1112. The inner shell 1112 can be divided into two connectable parts. The inner shell 1112 is provided with a mounting hole. The core 120 is provided in the mounting hole. The optoelectronic composite cable can be extended into the mounting hole through the wire cavity of the sheath 112, and cooperate with the core 120 in the mounting hole to realize optical connection and electrical connection.

[0037] When setting the barcode label 130, the barcode label 130 can be set on the surface of the shell 1111, the barcode label 130 can also be set on the surface of the sheath 112, or the barcode label 130 can be set on the surface of the shell 1111 and the surface of the sheath 112. The specific setting position of the barcode label 130 can be selected according to its own size, the surface area of ​​the shell 1111 and the sheath 112, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0038] During long-term use, in order to prevent the barcode label 130 from losing clarity of the barcode image due to wear, oxidation and other factors, resulting in the barcode recognition device being unable to recognize it normally, a light-transmitting protective layer can be set on the surface of the barcode label. The light-transmitting protective layer can be made of glass, acrylic and other materials.

[0039] The embodiment of the present application also discloses an optoelectronic composite connection component, and the disclosed optoelectronic composite connection component may include an optoelectronic composite cable and the above-mentioned optoelectronic composite connector. The end of the optoelectronic composite cable can extend into the shell cavity of the shell 110 and be connected to the ferrule 120. It should be noted that the optoelectronic composite cable includes an optical connection part and an electrical connection part, and the ferrule 120 is provided with an optical connection matching part and an electrical connection matching part, the optical connection part is connected to the optical connection matching part, and the electrical connection part is connected to the electrical connection matching part, so that the optical connection and electrical connection between the electrical composite cable and the optoelectronic composite connector can be realized.

[0040] From the above, it can be seen that in the optoelectronic composite connection component disclosed in the embodiment of the present application, the optoelectronic composite connector improves the relevant technology, uses the barcode label 130 as an information carrier, and then matches it with the corresponding management platform and barcode recognition equipment, the configuration information of the optoelectronic composite connector can be quickly entered into the management platform, and the digital management of the configuration information can be realized, thereby improving the layout efficiency of the optoelectronic composite connector and the optoelectronic composite cable, wherein the configuration information of the optoelectronic composite connector includes the physical location of the optoelectronic composite connector; and, in the subsequent operation and maintenance process, the barcode label 130 can also be used as the identity of the optoelectronic composite connector, and the physical location of the faulty node can be quickly located through the barcode label 130, thereby improving the efficiency of operation and maintenance.

In the scenario where a home user is in a power outage, the optoelectronic composite cable can still provide the user with power and data transmission channels to ensure that the user can continue to use broadband Internet services.

[0042] From the above, it can be seen that in the communication system disclosed in the embodiment of the present application, the optoelectronic composite connector improves the relevant technology, uses the barcode label 130 as an information carrier, and then matches it with the corresponding management platform and barcode recognition equipment, the configuration information of the optoelectronic composite connector can be quickly entered into the management platform, and the digital management of the configuration information can be realized, thereby improving the deployment efficiency of the optoelectronic composite connector and the optoelectronic composite cable, wherein the configuration information of the optoelectronic composite connector includes the physical location of the optoelectronic composite connector; and, in the subsequent operation and maintenance process, the barcode label 130 can also be used as the identity of the optoelectronic composite connector, and the physical location of the faulty node can be quickly located through the barcode label 130, thereby improving the efficiency of operation and maintenance.
