Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of optical fiber connectors, in particular to an optical fiber connector used for communication. Background Art

[0002] Fiber optic connectors, also known as fiber optic active joints, are connectors used for repetitive plugging and unplugging between optical fibers. They can precisely connect the two end faces of the optical fiber so that the light energy output by the transmitting optical fiber can be coupled to the receiving optical fiber to the maximum extent possible, and the impact on the system caused by its involvement in the optical link can be minimized.

[0003] At present, when installing fiber optic connectors in fiber optic switches, fiber optic distribution frames, fiber optic couplers and other fiber optic connector installation equipment, multiple fiber optic connectors are often installed side by side. When multiple fiber optic connectors are installed side by side, when the staff pulls out one of the fiber optic connectors, the distance between the fiber optic connectors is relatively close, and the hands are easy to touch the fiber optic connectors on both sides. Touching adjacent fiber optic connectors may cause their positions to shift, thereby affecting the stability of the established fiber optic connection. Utility Model Content

[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0021] See also Figure 1-4As shown, a fiber optic connector for communication includes a fiber optic connector housing 1, a ferrule 2 is installed inside the fiber optic connector housing 1, a fiber optic body 3 is connected to the right side of the fiber optic connector housing 1, an installation indicator block 4 is fixed to the left side above the fiber optic connector housing 1, the side of the fiber optic connector housing 1 provided with the installation indicator block 4 is the front side, and the corresponding optical modem socket is a groove, which can only be inserted when aligned with the position where the groove of the optical modem port is located, a disassembly block 5 is provided on the left side of the bottom of the fiber optic connector housing 1, and the disassembly block 5 is slidably connected to the surface of the fiber optic connector housing 1, two springs 6 are fixed to the right side of the bottom of the fiber optic connector housing 1, a pressing plate 7 is fixed to the bottom end of the spring 6, the pressing plate 7 is arranged in a T shape as a whole, and a connecting plate 8 is hinged on the left side of the pressing plate 7.

[0022] The connecting plate 8 is arranged tilted as a whole, and the side of the connecting plate 8 away from the pressing plate 7 is hinged to one side of the disassembly block 5. When the pressing plate 7 is pressed and moves upward, the pressing plate 7 will drive the connecting plate 8 to move, and the connecting plate 8 changes from an inclined state to a straight state, thereby causing the connecting plate 8 to push the disassembly block 5 on one side to move, causing the disassembly block 5 to move to the left.

[0023] Limiting frames 9 are fixed on the front and rear sides of the bottom of the optical fiber connector housing 1. The limiting frames 9 are located on the front and rear sides of the pressing plate 7, and the pressing plate 7 is slidably connected to the surface of the limiting frames 9. Limiting blocks 10 are fixed on the front and rear sides of the pressing plate 7, and the limiting blocks 10 are located inside the limiting frames 9 and are slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting frames 9. The limiting blocks 10 are rectangular as a whole. When the staff pushes the pressing plate 7 with their fingers, the limiting blocks 10 on both sides move inside the limiting frames 9, thereby limiting the moving direction of the pressing plate 7, so that the pressing plate 7 can only move up and down.

[0024] A positioning frame 11 is fixed on the left side below the optical fiber connector housing 1, and the disassembly block 5 passes through the positioning frame 11 and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the positioning frame 11. When the connecting plate 8 pushes the disassembly block 5 to move, the positioning frame 11 can guide the disassembly block 5 so that the disassembly block 5 can only move horizontally left and right.

[0025] There are several bumps 13 bonded to the bottom of the pressing plate 7, and they are evenly distributed on the right side of the bottom of the pressing plate 7. When the staff disassembles the optical fiber connector, they can press the bumps 13 at the bottom of the pressing plate 7 when their fingers touch them, without the need for the staff to bend over to find the position of the pressing plate 7.

[0026] A protective strip 12 is bonded to the surface on the left side of the disassembly block 5, and the material of the protective strip 12 is rubber. When the disassembly block 5 is pushed out, the protective strip 12 can protect the installation equipment of the fiber optic switch or other fiber optic connectors, preventing the disassembly block 5 from causing damage to the surface of the installation equipment.

[0027] Working principle: When the staff installs the fiber optic connector, the staff will take out the fiber optic connector and align the ferrule 2 with the installation hole of the fiber optic switch or other fiber optic connector installation equipment, and point the installation indicator block 4 above the fiber optic connector housing 1 upwards, and then insert the ferrule 2 into the installation equipment to complete the installation operation of the fiber optic connector. If the staff needs to disassemble the fiber optic connector, the staff only needs to place two fingers on the surface above the fiber optic connector housing 1 and the surface below the pressing plate 7 and press them, so that the pressing plate 7 moves upward to squeeze the spring 6, and the connecting plate 8 on one side of the pressing plate 7 will move, and the connecting plate 8 will push the disassembly block 5 to the left, and the disassembly block 5 will contact the surface of the installation equipment, so that the ferrule 2 is moved out of the installation hole above the installation equipment, so that the fiber optic connector is separated from the installation equipment, and the disassembly operation of the fiber optic connector is completed.

[0028] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
