Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of optical cable connection, in particular to a waterproof optical cable connector. Background Art
[0002] Optical cable is a communication cable assembly that uses one or more optical fibers placed in a sheath as a transmission medium and can be used alone or in groups. The optical cable is mainly composed of an optical fiber, a plastic protective sleeve and a plastic sheath. The optical cable connector is a passive optical device that uses a certain mechanical and optical structure to precisely connect the two end faces of the optical cable using an adapter to achieve physical contact between the end faces of the optical cable, so that the light energy output by the transmitting optical cable can be coupled to the receiving optical cable to the maximum extent. However, there are some shortcomings in the use of existing optical cable connectors;
[0003] The existing optical cable connector can only play the role of an auxiliary connection. However, because optical cables are mostly used outdoors, waterproofing is required when connecting optical cables to avoid water damage to the optical cables and to avoid major damage. The existing optical cable connector only connects optical cables by plugging. This causes water resources to gradually penetrate the connection of the connector and corrode the optical cable after a long period of infiltration, thereby causing damage to the optical cable. The existing optical cable connector lacks the clamping and fixing function for the optical cable, so when the optical cable is plugged in, it is easy to cause the optical cable to shake, causing the optical cable to move, thereby affecting the connection of the optical cable.

[0008] Furthermore, eight groups of grooves are provided on the surface of the sleeve, and the eight groups of grooves are distributed in a ring shape on the surface of the sleeve. A baffle is fixedly provided on the surface of the sleeve, and the baffle is located on the right side of the groove. The groove is used to increase the friction between the user's hand and the sleeve, so that the user can rotate the sleeve through the groove and use the user's hand to resist the baffle to facilitate the lateral movement of the sleeve.

[0011] Furthermore, the pressing plate is arranged in a semicircular structure as a whole, and a spring is provided to fix the pressing plate and the inner wall of the fixing tube, and ten groups of protrusions are fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the pressing plate. The arrangement of the semicircular structure can facilitate the pressing plate to press and fix the optical cable more closely, and the elasticity of the spring is used to push the pressing plate to press and fix the optical cables of different diameters, and the protrusions are used to increase the friction between the pressing plate and the optical cable, thereby better ensuring the pressing effect of the pressing plate on the optical cable.
[0012] Furthermore, the end of the outlet away from the connecting sleeve is fixedly set as a conical structure, and the conical structure is used to clamp and fix one end of the optical cable to prevent the optical cable from shaking at the outlet, thereby ensuring that the outlet can directly connect the optical cable at the outlet more quickly.
[0013] Furthermore, a rotating disk is fixedly provided at one end of the cap, and an anti-skid groove is fixedly provided on the surface of the rotating disk, so that the user can remove and install the cap by rotating the rotating disk, thereby using the cap to protect the discharge port, and the anti-skid groove can increase the friction between the user's hand and the rotating disk.
[0014] Beneficial effects of the utility model:
[0015] The utility model enables various components to be rotatably connected by arranging threads, and utilizes the conical structure of the components and the rubber ring to increase the fit between optical cables of different diameters and the components, which can not only increase the connection stability between the various components through the threaded connection, but also ensure the sealing between the various components, avoid water flow from damaging the optical cable, and has strong waterproof performance.
