[0002] In the production and processing of optical modules, in order to improve the transmission efficiency of optical modules, a material tray is usually used to realize the synchronous transportation of several optical modules. The material tray includes a plate body and several material slots opened on the plate body, and each optical module is respectively accommodated in a corresponding material slot. However, during the processing of the material tray, errors in the size of the material slot are inevitable. If the size of the material slot is too large, the optical module is easy to fall out of the material slot; if the size of the material slot is too small, the optical module needs to be mechanically inserted into the material slot during loading, which not only has low loading efficiency, but also easily causes damage to the optical module.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the fixing strength of the clamping block and the matching block in the material trough is effectively improved.

[0019] In a specific possible implementation mode, the loading tray further has two third inner walls arranged opposite to each other, the two third inner walls are respectively located on both sides of the width direction of the first trough body, and there is a gap between each of the third inner walls and the clamping block.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the movement of the clamping block in the material slot is greatly facilitated, and the clamping block is prevented from interfering with the third inner wall during the movement, thereby affecting the clamping of the optical module.

[0032] The present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0033] See also Figure 1-3 As shown, a loading tray for an optical module is shown, comprising a tray body 1, and a plurality of material slots 2 opened on the tray body 1, wherein the plurality of material slots 2 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the tray body 1 and the length direction thereof is perpendicular to the length direction of the tray body 1. The material slot 2 has a first inner wall 21 and a second inner wall 22 arranged opposite to each other, and the first inner wall 21 and the second inner wall 22 are respectively located at two ends of the material slot 2 in the length direction.

[0034] Combination Figure 1-2 As shown, the loading tray also includes a clamping assembly 3, which includes a clamping block 31 movably arranged in the material trough 2, an elastic member 32 whose two ends are respectively connected to the first inner wall 21 and the clamping block 31, and a first slot body 23 for accommodating the optical module is formed between one end of the clamping block 31 away from the elastic member 32 and the second inner wall 22.

[0035] The above arrangement not only facilitates the loading of the optical module into the material trough 2 and improves the loading efficiency, but also enables the optical module to be effectively fixed, thereby preventing the optical module from falling out of the material trough 2 .

[0036] When loading, first move the clamping block 31 toward the direction close to the first inner wall 21, then easily load the optical module into the first slot 23, and then move the clamping block 31 toward the direction away from the first inner wall 21 and against the optical module to achieve clamping of the optical module. When the clamping block 31 moves toward the direction close to the first inner wall 21, it can compress the elastic member 32. When the optical module is loaded, the clamping block 31 moves toward the direction away from the first inner wall 21 and against the optical module under the rebound action of the elastic member 32, thereby achieving clamping of the optical module.

[0037] In this embodiment, the elastic member 32 includes three springs arranged at intervals along the width direction of the disk body 1, and the two ends of each spring are respectively connected to the first inner wall 21 and the clamping block 31. The three springs can not only increase the clamping force of the clamping assembly 3, but also prevent the clamping block 31 from deviating during movement and affecting its clamping effect on the optical module.

[0038] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a second slot body 24 for accommodating three springs is formed between the clamping block 31 and the first inner wall 21, and the clamping assembly 3 further includes an upper pressing plate 33 shielded on the second slot body 24, and both ends of the upper pressing plate 33 are respectively connected to the two side slot walls of the second slot body 24. The length direction of the upper pressing plate 33 is the same as the arrangement direction of the multiple springs.

[0039] Through the above arrangement, the upper pressure plate 33 can resist the spring and limit the three springs at the same time, effectively avoiding radial distortion of the spring when compressed, ensuring that the three springs can generate effective pushing force on the clamping block 31, and improving the pushing effect of the spring on the clamping block 31.

[0040] In this embodiment, if Figure 1As shown, a matching block 34 is attached to the second inner wall 22, the matching block 34 and the clamping block 31 are located on the same plane, and the first slot 23 is formed between the matching block 34 and the clamping block 31. The matching block 34 can cooperate with the clamping block 31 to clamp the optical module, which greatly improves the loading strength of the optical module in the first slot 23.

[0041] The loading tray further includes two bearing blocks 4 respectively arranged at both ends of the length direction of the trough 2, the two bearing blocks 4 are respectively connected to the first inner wall 21 and the second inner wall 22, and the clamping block 31 and the matching block 34 are respectively and correspondingly carried on the two bearing blocks 4. The arrangement of the bearing blocks 4 can effectively improve the fixing strength of the clamping block 31 and the matching block 34 in the trough 2.

[0042] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the loading tray also has two third inner walls 25 arranged opposite to each other, and the two third inner walls 25 are respectively located on both sides of the width direction of the first slot body 23, and there is a gap 26 between each third inner wall 25 and the clamping block 31. The existence of the gap 26 can greatly facilitate the movement of the clamping block 31 in the slot 2, and prevent the clamping block 31 from interfering with the third inner wall 25 during the movement, thereby affecting its clamping of the optical module.

[0043] In this embodiment, each third inner wall 25 is provided with a protrusion 5, and the two protrusions 5 are staggered in the length direction of the trough 2. The end of the protrusion 5 away from the third inner wall 25 has an arc-shaped pressing surface.

[0044] The two protrusions 5 can respectively abut against the two sides of the optical module in the width direction, further improving the loading strength of the optical module in the first slot 23 and effectively preventing the optical module from falling out of the first slot 23; at the same time, the arc-shaped pressing surface can effectively prevent the protrusions 5 from causing damage to the optical module.

[0045] The implementation principle of a loading tray in an embodiment of the present application is:

[0046] The clamping block 31 in the first trough 2 is moved toward the direction close to the first inner wall 21. The clamping block 31 compresses the spring during the movement, so that the spring is in a compressed state.

[0047] Then, the optical module is installed into the first slot 23, and the clamping block 31 is slowly released. The clamping block 31 moves away from the first inner wall 21 under the rebound effect of the spring and presses against the optical module.

[0048] Repeat the above steps until each material slot 2 is loaded with an optical module.

[0049] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
