[0038] The above and other technical contents, features and effects of the present invention will be clearly presented in the following detailed description of the embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings. The directional terms mentioned in the following embodiments, such as up, down, left, right, front or back, etc., are only the directions of the reference drawings. Therefore, the directional terms used are used to illustrate and not to limit the present invention. In addition, in all embodiments, the same reference numerals represent the same elements.

[0039] Embodiment 1

[0040] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a photoelectric hybrid flange connector, comprising:

[0041] The main body includes a first shell 201 and a second shell 202; wherein the second shell 202 has an upper cover 4 hinged to the second shell 202;

[0042] A locking member 8, provided on the surface of the first housing 201;

[0043] The tail sleeve 9 is arranged on one side of the first housing 201;

[0044] Pin 6, provided at the connection between the first housing 201 and the second housing 202, for aligning and adjusting the optical fiber;

[0045] The optical fiber groove 5 is provided in the second housing 202 and is used to fix the optical fiber and isolate the optical fiber from the copper wire;

[0046] The ejector pin 7 is disposed on the inner wall of the second housing 202 and is located on one side of the optical fiber groove 5;

[0047] Among them, when the plug of the optoelectronic hybrid flange connector 2 is inserted into the corresponding socket, the locking piece 8 is pushed to the locking position, and the optoelectronic hybrid flange connector 2 remains stable in the inserted state; when the optoelectronic hybrid flange connector 2 needs to be disassembled, the locking piece 8 is pushed in the opposite direction to the unlocking position to disassemble the optoelectronic hybrid flange connector 2.

[0048] This embodiment provides an optoelectronic hybrid flange connector, which is directly connected to an optoelectronic hybrid cable and a slave gateway, and the optoelectronic hybrid cable is used to meet the transmission of electrical signals and optical signals from the slave gateway to realize home networking.

[0049] In this embodiment, the main body can effectively protect the internal optical fiber and copper wire components to prevent them from being affected by mechanical damage, dust, moisture and other external environmental factors, and is used to fix the various components inside the optoelectronic hybrid flange connector 2. The first shell 201 and the second shell 202 are through, but the structural forms of the two are different. The first shell 201 includes a group of parallel first side panels and a group of parallel second side panels, the second side panel is arranged on one side of the first side panel, and the first side panel and the second side panel enclose a receiving cavity; the second shell 202 includes a bottom plate and vertical panels arranged vertically on both sides of the bottom plate, and the height of the vertical panel is less than the height of the second side panel. The space between the vertical panels on both sides can be used to install the optical fiber groove 5. It can be understood that when the upper cover 4 is not installed, the second shell 202 is a non-enclosed component; when the upper cover 4 is buckled with the second shell 202, the second shell 202 is a component with an opening on one side.

[0050] Furthermore, the center line of the first shell 201 coincides with the center line of the second shell 202, thereby ensuring that the optical fiber can pass through the first shell 201 and the second shell 202 in sequence, preventing the optical fiber from bending when passing through the main body and failing to enter the second shell 202 from the first shell 201.

[0051] In this embodiment, the diameter of the pin 6 is greater than the diameter of the optical fiber.

[0052] In this embodiment, the locking member 8 includes a body 801, a push-pull plate 802 slidably connected to the body 801, and a lock buckle provided on one side of the push-pull plate 802; the first housing 201 is provided with a lock slot, and the locking member 8 is pushed toward the lock slot until the lock buckle is inserted into the lock slot, and the locking member 8 reaches a locked position. When the optoelectronic hybrid flange connector is inserted into the corresponding interface, a stable connection between the optoelectronic hybrid flange connector 2 and the interface can be ensured, which can prevent the connector from accidentally loosening or falling off during use, and ensure the reliability and stability of the connection.

[0053] Specifically, the lock buckle has a certain elasticity, and the material of the lock buckle can be selected from ABS plastic (a terpolymer of three monomers: acrylonitrile (A), butadiene (B), and styrene (S)). When the locking member 8 is pushed toward the lock slot, the lock buckle can be inserted into the lock slot to achieve a snap connection, thereby achieving locking. When the locking member 8 is pressed, the lock buckle is disengaged from the lock slot, and the locking member 8 is pushed away from the lock slot in the opposite direction to release the lock.

[0054] In this embodiment, the tail sleeve 9 includes a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion, wherein the second connecting portion is disposed on one side of the first shell 201 , and the inner diameter of the first connecting portion is smaller than the inner diameter of the second connecting portion.

[0055] The working principle of the utility model is as follows:

[0056] When in use, the optoelectronic hybrid cable 1 is stripped at a suitable position of the optoelectronic hybrid cable 1 to expose a certain length of internal copper wires and optical fibers.

[0057] Lift up the upper cover 4 of the optoelectronic hybrid flange connector 2, pass the optical fiber through the optical fiber slot 5, push it inward to contact the pin 6, and at the same time put the copper wire into the side of the optical fiber slot 5 to connect it with the ejector pin 7. After the optical fiber is slightly bent, close the upper cover 4 and push the locking piece 8 to fix the connection.

[0060] The present embodiment provides an optoelectronic hybrid flange connection device, which can be plugged in and out at any time, and the length of the optoelectronic hybrid cable 1 can be set by oneself to connect to the gateway, saving space and cost, and facilitating maintenance and assembly; in addition, the optoelectronics are separated in the optoelectronic hybrid flange connector 2, and the pin 7 is used for power supply to reduce additional line connections, reduce the possibility of connection failure, and have greater compatibility with the positions of the electrical module and the optical module in the gateway.

[0061] In this embodiment, there is an optical fiber line inside the tail sleeve 9 of the optoelectronic hybrid flange connector 2, which is connected to the optical module 11 of the slave gateway 3, and the lower part of the pin 7 of the optoelectronic hybrid flange connector 2 is connected to the step-down module 12 of the slave gateway 3 to step down the direct current transmitted by the optoelectronic hybrid cable 1.

[0062] The working principle of the utility model is as follows:

After the optical fiber is slightly bent, close the upper cover 4 and push the locking piece 8 to fix the connection.

[0065] The end of the optoelectronic hybrid flange connector 2 is connected to the optical module 11 of the slave gateway 3 through an optical fiber to complete the transmission of the optical signal. The ejector pin 7 of the optoelectronic hybrid flange connector 2 is connected to the step-down module 12 of the slave gateway 3, and the current is stepped down from 48V to 12V for use by the slave gateway 3. Specifically, there is an optical fiber line inside the tail sleeve 9 connected to the optical module 11 of the slave gateway 3, and different positions can be selected appropriately. The lower part of the ejector pin 7 is connected to the step-down module 12 of the slave gateway 3 to step down the DC power transmitted by the optoelectronic hybrid cable for use.

[0066] Finally, check whether the optoelectronic hybrid flange connection device composed of the optoelectronic hybrid cable 1, the optoelectronic hybrid flange connector 2 and the slave gateway 3 can be powered normally. At the same time, test whether the optical power is within the range of -15dBm to -20dBm, judge the connection status, and complete the integrated connection of the optoelectronic hybrid cable 1 and the slave gateway 3.
