When the utility model needs to pass through the pipeline, the pull shell 5 is threadedly connected with the stopper ring, and the pull shell 5 is pulled by a hook to drive the semi-finished product through the pipeline. After passing through the pipeline, the pull shell 5 is twisted open, and the housing assembly 4 is buckled with the stopper 3 and sleeved on the outside of the cable core assembly 21 to complete the entire MPO connector. The housing assembly 4 is tightly buckled with the stopper 3, and the overall structure is stable.

[0019] The utility model is pre-assembled, and when passing through a pipeline, a pulling pipe is adopted to facilitate passing through the pipeline, and reassembly is convenient. After reassembly, the tightness of the structure combination is high and the structure is stable.

[0020] The stopper 3 includes a hollow circular first connection part 31, a hollow circular second connection part 32 that is concentrically connected to and fixedly connected to the first connection part 31, and a stopper 33 that is fixedly connected to the second connection part 32. The first connection part 31 is provided with a first external thread 311 on the outside, and the first external thread 311 is threadedly connected to the metal crimping ring 22. The second connection part 32 is provided with a second external thread 321 on the outside, and the second external thread 321 is used for threading with the pull tube. When removing the pull tube, the pull tube can be twisted out of the second external thread 321. Two parallel cut surfaces 322 are provided on the outside of the second external thread 321, and the stopper 33 is arranged parallel to the cut surfaces 322. The stopper 33 is arranged on the upper side of the second connection part 32, and the top of the second connection part 32 and the bottom of the stopper 33 form a first step 34. After the pull tube is removed, the housing assembly 4 is sleeved on the outer side of the stopper 3 along the direction of the cut surface 322 and is buckled with the outer side of the stopper 3. The first step 34 is set to limit the housing assembly 4 in the downward direction. The setting of the cut surface 322 ensures the correct installation orientation of the housing assembly 4.

[0021] On the basis of the above embodiment, as a further preference, the stop portion 33 includes two symmetrically arranged └-shaped stop blocks 331, the stop block 331 includes a vertical block 3311 forming a └ shape and a horizontal block 3312 forming a 90° right angle with the vertical block 3311, the horizontal block 3312 is arranged at the lower part of the stop block 331, the horizontal block 3312 extends and protrudes from the vertical block 3311 toward the center line of the first connecting portion 31 and the second connecting portion 32, the two stop blocks 331 are symmetrical relative to the center line of the first connecting portion 31 and the second connecting portion 32, a first gap 3313 is formed between the two horizontal blocks 3312, and a second gap 3314 located on the upper side of the first gap 3313 is formed between the two vertical blocks 3311.

[0022] The cable core assembly 21 includes a cable core 211, an adapter 212 fixedly connected to the tail end of the cable core 211, and a spring 213 sleeved on the outside of the cable core 211 and arranged on the lower side of the adapter 212, the lower part of the spring 213 is limited in the first gap 3313, the upper part of the spring 213 is arranged in the second gap 3314, the adapter 212 is arranged on the upper side of the setting block, and the width of the adapter 212 is greater than the width of the second gap 3314. The width of the first gap 3313 is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the spring 213.

[0023] When the cable core assembly 21 is assembled, the wire body 1 passes through the first connecting portion 31, the second connecting portion 32, the first gap 3313, and the second gap 3314. The outer skin of the tail of the wire body 1 is peeled off to form the cable core 211. The cable core 211 is inserted into the adapter 212. The lower part of the spring 213 is defined in the first gap 3313. Since the width of the first gap 3313 is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the spring 213, the spring 213 is fixed in the first gap 3313. The upper part of the spring 213 is defined in the second gap 3314. The upper part of the spring 213 can elastically move up and down in the second gap 3314. In a normal state, the spring 213 is in a relaxed state, and the spring 213 supports the adapter 212 and is higher than the top of the vertical part. When the plug-in is applied, the adapter 212 moves downward under the action of the plug-in force. Under the support force of the spring 213, the adapter 212 is stopped and positioned by the top of the vertical block 3311. Since the upper portion of the spring 213 can elastically move up and down in the second gap 3314, when the adapter 212 is withdrawn from the insertion, under the reaction force of the spring 213, the adapter 212 withdraws a distance from the top of the vertical block 3311 and returns to its original position.

[0024] On the basis of the above embodiment, as a further preference, a buckle 33111 is provided on the outer side of the vertical block 3311 away from the horizontal block 3312, an arc-shaped edge 33121 is provided on the edge of the horizontal block 3312 toward the center line direction of the first connection part 31 and the second connection part 32, and an arc-shaped edge 33112 is provided on the edge of the vertical block 3311 toward the center line direction of the first connection part 31 and the second connection part 32.

[0025] After the pull tube is removed, the shell assembly 4 is sleeved on the outer side of the stopper 3 along the direction of the cut surface 322 and buckled with the outer side of the stopper 3. The setting of the first step 34 limits the shell assembly 4 in the downward direction. The setting of the arc shape 1 33121 and the diameter of the first gap 3313 are slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the spring 213, so that the first gap 3313 can better accommodate the spring 213 and the spring 213 can be fixed in the first gap 3313. The setting of the arc shape 2 33112 and the diameter of the second gap 3314 are slightly larger than the diameter of the spring 213, so that the second gap 3314 can better accommodate the spring 213, so that the spring 213 can move up and down in the second gap 3314.

[0026] It should be noted that for the preferred implementation of the utility model, ordinary technicians in this technical field can make several improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the utility model.
