In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0024] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model can be understood by specific circumstances.

[0025] See also Figures 1 to 5 The push-pull self-locking optoelectronic hybrid connector of the embodiment of the utility model includes: a sleeve member 1, which has a fixed plate 2 built in, the fixed plate 2 is connected to a pin insulator assembly 3, the sleeve member 1 is provided with a slide 4, the sleeve member 1 is provided with a barb 6, one end of the slide 4 abuts against the inclined surface of the barb 6; a plug housing 7 sleeved with the sleeve member 1, with a jack assembly 8 built in, the plug housing 7 is provided with a groove hole 71 that fits with the barb 6; a core assembly 9, including a first core 91 and a second core 92, the first core 91 is arranged on the pin insulator assembly 3, and the second core 92 is arranged on the jack assembly 8; when the plug housing 7 is sleeved on the sleeve member 1, the pin insulator assembly 3 is embedded in the jack assembly 8, the barb 6 is embedded in the groove hole 71, and the first core 91 is connected to the second core 92.

[0026] In the above embodiment, the push-pull self-locking optoelectronic hybrid connector is mainly composed of key parts such as a sleeve member 1, a plug housing 7, and a core assembly 9. Among them, the sleeve member 1 has a fixed plate 2 built in, and a pin insulator assembly 3 is connected to the fixed plate 2, and a slide 4 and a barb 6 are arranged on the outside of the sleeve member 1. The plug housing 7 is sleeved on the sleeve member 1, and has a jack assembly 8 built in, and a groove hole 71 is arranged corresponding to the barb 6 on the sleeve member 1. The core assembly 9 includes a first core 91 and a second core 92, which are respectively arranged in the pin insulator assembly 3 and the jack assembly 8. When the plug housing 7 begins to be sleeved on the sleeve member 1, the inner wall of the plug housing 7 interacts with the outer wall of the sleeve member 1, so that the plug housing 7 gradually slides toward the sleeve member 1. In this process, the pin insulator assembly 3 is gradually embedded in the jack assembly 8 as the plug housing 7 moves. When the plug housing 7 is further sleeved, the groove hole 71 on it will be aligned with the barb 6 on the sleeve member 1. Due to the inclined surface design of the barb 6, when the plug housing 7 continues to move forward, the barb 6 will naturally embed into the groove hole 71 to achieve preliminary locking. At this time, the first ferrule 91 and the second ferrule 92 will also contact and connect with each other, thereby completing the transmission of the photoelectric signal. In the locked state, even if subjected to slight external vibration or pulling force, the plug housing 7 and the sleeve member 1 will not be easily separated due to the locking effect of the barb 6 and the groove hole 71, ensuring the stability and reliability of the connection. When it is necessary to disconnect, the slide 4 can be moved, the slide 4 squeezes the barb 6, and the barb 6 is separated from the groove hole 71, thereby changing the relative position of the barb 6 and the groove hole 71. When the barb 6 is separated from the groove hole 71, the locking effect between the plug housing 7 and the sleeve member 1 disappears, and the plug housing 7 can be easily pulled out from the sleeve member 1. When the plug housing 7 is pulled out, the pin insulator assembly 3 will also be pulled out from the jack assembly 8, the first ferrule 91 and the second ferrule 92 are disconnected, and the photoelectric signal transmission is interrupted.

[0027] See also Figures 1 to 5 In another embodiment, the barb 6 is an inverted triangle.

[0028] In the above embodiment, the slope characteristics and stability of the inverted triangle are utilized. During the relative movement of the plug housing 7 and the sleeve member 1, the slope of the inverted triangle guides the groove hole 71 on the plug housing 7 to align with it, and with further advancement, the tip of the barb 6 will naturally fit into the groove hole 71 to achieve a stable locking. This design not only ensures the stability of the connection, but also enhances the connection's ability to resist vibration and external force pulling, so that the connector can maintain stable performance even in complex environments.

[0029] See also Figures 1 to 5 In another embodiment, the slide cylinder 4 is provided with a spring 5 , one end of the spring 5 abuts against the inner wall of the slide cylinder 4 , and the other end abuts against the fixing plate 2 .

[0030] In the above embodiment, when a spring 5 is provided in the slide 4, and one end of the spring 5 abuts against the inner wall of the slide 4, and the other end abuts against the fixing plate 2, the working principle of the push-pull self-locking optoelectronic hybrid connector will be further enhanced. Specifically, when the plug housing 7 is separated from the sleeve member 1, the elastic force of the spring 5 will push the slide 4 to slide along the sleeve member 1, thereby causing the barb 6 to pop out of the groove hole 71, thereby realizing the automatic unlocking function. This design not only simplifies the unlocking process of the connector and improves the operating efficiency, but also ensures that the connector can be quickly and completely separated when disconnected, thereby avoiding damage or failure caused by improper operation. At the same time, the elastic force of the spring 5 can also ensure that when the plug housing 7 is connected to the sleeve member 1, the barb 6 can be stably embedded in the groove hole 71 to form a reliable locking state.

[0031] See also Figures 1 to 5 In another embodiment, a sealing member is provided between the sleeve member 1 and the plug housing 7 .

[0032] In the above embodiment, the main function of the seal is to prevent dust, moisture or other contaminants from entering the interior of the connector, thereby ensuring the cleanliness and dryness of the internal parts of the connector and ensuring the stability and reliability of the connector. At the same time, the seal can also resist the pressure or temperature changes of the external environment to a certain extent, ensuring that the connector can work normally even in harsh environments. In addition, the design of the seal also takes into account the dynamic sealing requirements of the connector during connection and disconnection. In the process of the plug housing 7 being sleeved on the sleeve member 1, the seal can maintain a tight fit as the two move relative to each other, thereby ensuring that good sealing performance can be maintained throughout the entire connection process. When the plug housing 7 is pulled out of the sleeve member 1, the seal can also quickly return to its original state to prepare for the next connection.

[0033] See also Figures 1 to 5 In another embodiment, the contact surfaces of the first ferrule 91 and the second ferrule 92 are provided with a metal coating.

[0034] In the above embodiment, the metal plating provides good conductivity and contact stability. Since the contact surface between the plugs is treated with metal plating, its surface is smoother and more uniform, thereby reducing the contact resistance and improving the current transmission efficiency. At the same time, the metal plating can also effectively prevent oxidation and corrosion, maintain the long-term stability of the contact surface, and extend the service life of the connector. In addition, the metal plating can also enhance the mechanical connection strength between the plugs. During the connection process, the metal plating can increase the friction between the plugs, making the connection between the plugs more firm and reliable. This can not only prevent the plug from loosening or falling off due to external forces, but also improve the stability of the connector in harsh environments such as vibration and impact.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any form of limitation to the present invention. Although the present invention has been disclosed as a preferred embodiment as above, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any technician familiar with the profession can make some changes or modify the technical contents disclosed above into equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention. However, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
