[0060] In some embodiments, the fiber clamp is provided with a slot extending in the extension direction of the connecting portion, and the size of the opening of the slot can be greater than, less than, or equal to the diameter of the optical fiber connected to the optical fiber connector. In this embodiment, the optical fiber connected to the optical fiber connector can pass through the slot, so that the optical fiber is effectively fixed on the fiber clamp through the slot to ensure the stability of the clamping.

[0061] In some embodiments, the fiber clamp includes an inclined surface toward the head portion, the inclined surface extends from the connection portion to an end of the fiber clamp away from the connection portion, and the inclined surface is arranged at an obtuse angle with the extension direction of the connection portion. In this embodiment, since the inclined surface is arranged at an obtuse angle with the extension direction of the connection portion, it is convenient for other optical fibers located between the fiber clamp and the head portion to leave the area between the fiber clamp and the head portion from the inclined surface without interfering with the fiber clamp.

[0062] In some embodiments, the identification surface is the surface of the tail away from the head. That is, in the axial direction or length direction of the optical fiber connector, the identification surface is perpendicular to the axial direction of the connector. In this embodiment, since the identification surface is located on the surface of the tail away from the head, and the identification surface is perpendicular to the axial direction of the connector, it is convenient to identify the label information on the identification surface from the axial direction of the optical fiber connector.

[0063] In some embodiments, the identification surface is the surface of the tail away from the head. That is, in the axial direction or length direction of the optical fiber connector, the identification surface is perpendicular to the axial direction of the connector. In this embodiment, since the identification surface is located on the surface of the tail away from the head, and the identification surface is perpendicular to the axial direction of the connector, it is convenient to identify the label information on the identification surface from the axial direction of the optical fiber connector.

[0064] In some embodiments, the tail is a block structure with multiple faces, and at least two of the multiple faces of the tail are identification faces. In this embodiment, when the optical fiber connector assembly is inserted into the adapter, the identification face on the tail can be scanned not only by a camera on the front side, but also by a camera in other directions, so that the application scenarios are diversified.

[0065] In some embodiments, the outer surface of the connection portion is a marking surface for setting label information. In this embodiment, the marking surface on the connection portion can be scanned by camera equipment in multiple directions, so that the application scenarios are diversified.

[0066] In some embodiments, the outer surface of the head is a marking surface for setting tag information. In this embodiment, the marking surface on the head can be scanned by camera devices in multiple directions, so that the application scenarios are diversified.

[0101] The following first explains some terms involved in the embodiments of the present application.

[0102] The terms "first", "second", "third", "fourth", etc. in the specification and claims of the embodiments of the present application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can, for example, be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any of their variations are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product or device comprising a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0103] In this specification, the terms "perpendicular", "parallel", etc. are explained.

[0104] Vertical: The verticality defined in this application is not limited to an absolute vertical intersection relationship (angle of 90 degrees). It allows for non-absolute vertical intersection relationships caused by factors such as assembly tolerance, design tolerance, and influence of structural flatness. It also allows for errors in a small angle range. For example, the assembly error range of 80 to 100 degrees can be understood as a vertical relationship.

[0105] Parallelism: The parallelism defined in this application is not limited to absolute parallelism. This definition of parallelism can be understood as basic parallelism, which allows for situations where the absolute parallelism is not caused by factors such as assembly tolerance, design tolerance, and influence of structural flatness. These situations will lead to the sliding fitting part and the first door panel not being absolutely parallel, but this application also defines this situation as parallelism.

[0106] The present application provides a label structure, which can accurately and efficiently identify the optical fiber connector assembly based on the label structure provided by the present application, effectively ensuring that the optical fiber connector assembly can achieve accurate transmission of optical signals. In order to better understand the label structure provided by the present application, the optical network system in which the optical fiber connector assembly using the label structure is applied is first described below:

[0107] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is an example diagram of an embodiment of the optical network provided by this application. Figure 1 As shown, the present application takes the application of the optical fiber connector assembly in a passive optical network (PON) system as an example for exemplary description:

[0108] The passive optical network system includes an optical line terminal 101 (OLT), which is used to provide a network-side interface for an optical access network (OAN). The optical line terminal 101 is connected to the upper-layer network-side equipment (such as switches, routers, etc.), and the lower layer is connected to one or more optical distribution networks 102 (ODN).

[0109] The optical distribution network 102 includes a passive optical splitter for optical power distribution, a trunk optical fiber connected between the passive optical splitter and the optical line terminal 101, the trunk optical fiber is used to realize the transmission of optical signals between the optical line terminal 101 and the optical distribution network 102, and the optical distribution network 102 also includes a branch optical fiber connected between the passive optical splitter and the optical network unit 103 (optical network unit, ONU), the branch optical fiber is used to realize the transmission of optical signals between the optical distribution network 102 and the optical network unit 103.

[0110] When the optical line terminal 101 needs to transmit a downlink optical signal to the optical network unit 103, the optical distribution network 102 transmits the downlink optical signal from the optical line terminal 101 to each optical network unit 103 through a passive optical splitter. Similarly, when the optical network unit 103 needs to transmit an uplink optical signal to the optical line terminal 101, the optical distribution network 102 aggregates the uplink optical signal from the optical network unit 103 and transmits it to the optical line terminal 101.

[0111] The optical network unit 103 provides a user-side interface for the optical access network and is connected to the optical distribution network 102. If the optical network unit 103 also provides a user port function, such as the optical network unit 103 provides an Ethernet user port or a plain old telephone service (POTS) user port, it is called an optical network terminal (ONT). The present application uniformly refers to the optical network unit 103 or the optical network terminal as the optical network unit 103.

[0112] To achieve optical signal transmission, the optical fiber output from the optical line terminal 101 is connected to an optical distribution frame (ODF) unit included in the optical distribution network 102. The optical distribution frame unit 104 may include one or more optical distribution frames.

[0113] Through the distribution of the fiber distribution frame unit 104, the output optical fibers are connected to a fiber distribution terminal (FDT) unit. The fiber distribution terminal unit 105 may include one or more fiber distribution terminals.

[0114] The fiber optic junction box unit 105 is used for secondary distribution of optical fibers. The management scope of a fiber optic junction box unit 105 may be a community, a street, or a building, and the number of optical fiber connector components connected to the fiber optic junction box unit 105 can be selected according to the number of users that the fiber optic junction box unit 105 needs to manage.

[0115] The optical fiber junction box unit 105 is connected to the optical fiber access terminal (FAT) unit through optical fibers. The optical fiber access terminal unit 106 includes one or more optical fiber access boxes.

[0116] The optical fiber splitter box unit 106 is connected to the optical network unit 103, wherein the optical fiber splitter box unit 106 is used to connect to the user access point of the home optical fiber, and the home optical fiber section refers to the section of optical fiber from the optical fiber splitter box unit 106 to the user's home.

[0117] The fiber optic connector assembly provided in the present application can be connected to scenarios such as patch cables or pigtails. This example uses the application of the fiber optic connector assembly to both sides of a patch cable as an example for illustrative explanation, that is, the two ends of a patch cable are respectively connected to two fiber optic connector assemblies, and the patch cable can be applied to a fiber optic distribution frame unit 104, a fiber optic junction box unit 105, or a fiber optic splitter box unit 106, without specific limitation.

[0118] For example, the patch cord is connected in any of the following scenarios:

[0119] It is connected between two interconnected optical fiber distribution frames included in the optical fiber distribution frame unit 104, connected between different adapters of the same optical fiber distribution frame, connected between the optical line terminal 101 and the optical fiber distribution frame, connected between two interconnected optical fiber junction boxes included in the optical fiber junction box unit 105, connected between different adapters of the same optical fiber junction box, connected between two interconnected optical fiber distribution boxes included in the optical fiber distribution box unit 106, connected between the optical fiber distribution box unit 106 and the optical terminal box (access terminal box, ATB), or connected between the optical fiber distribution box unit 106 and the optical network unit 103.

[0120] It should be made clear that the various embodiments shown in the present application are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than to limit them. Although the present application is described in detail with reference to the following embodiments, a person of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions described in the following embodiments may still be modified, or some of the technical features may be replaced by equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.

[0121] Figure 2 This is a structural example diagram of a network node of a communication device 1000 provided in an embodiment of the present application; the network node of the communication device 1000 shown in this embodiment may be an optical line terminal 101, an optical network unit 103, a fiber optic distribution frame, a fiber optic junction box or a fiber optic splitter box, and this embodiment does not limit the specific type of the network node of the communication device 1000.

[0122] The communication device 1000 comprises an insertion frame 1 , on which a plurality of adapters 2 are fixed. The adapters 2 are used for inserting and fixing optical fiber connector assemblies 3 .

[0123] Specifically, taking an adapter 2 included in the plug-in frame 1 as an example, the adapter 2 has a plug-in interface, and the plug-in interface is used to plug and fix the optical fiber connector assembly 3. When the optical fiber connector assembly 3 is plugged into the adapter 2, the optical signal can be exchanged between the optical fiber connector assembly 3 and the network node of the communication device 1000.

[0124] The plug-in frame 1 shown in this embodiment may be a high-density plug-in frame 1, wherein a high-density plug-in frame 1 refers to a unit area of ​​a plug-in frame 1 panel in which multiple optical fiber connector assemblies 3 are inserted, and the gaps between adjacent optical fiber connector assemblies 3 are very small. The following describes the arrangement of the high-density plug-in frame 1:

[0125] The multiple adapters 2 included in the subrack 1 form an adapter 2 array, which includes N rows of adapters 2 arranged in the horizontal direction of the subrack 1, and the adapter 2 array also includes M columns of adapters 2 arranged in the vertical direction of the subrack 1. The horizontal direction is perpendicular to the vertical direction, and the specific values ​​of M and N are not limited in this embodiment.

[0126] It can be seen that in the high-density plug-in frame 1, the gap between adjacent optical fiber connectors is very small, and the number of optical fiber connector assemblies 3 inserted in the plug-in frame 1 is very large, which causes a large number of optical fibers connected to a large number of optical fiber connector assemblies 3 to interfere with each other. Figure 2AThere is a high possibility that other optical fibers 4 pass through between the head 10 and the tail 20 of the label structure 5 of the optical fiber connector assembly 3. Due to the interference of the tail 20 of the label structure 5 with other optical fibers 4, when the optical fiber connector assembly 3 is pulled out from the adapter 2, other optical fiber connector assemblies 3 may become loose or be pulled out indirectly, resulting in the inability to perform normal optical signal interaction between the optical fiber connector assembly 3 and the adapter 2.

[0127] The specific structure of the optical fiber connector assembly 3 shown in this embodiment is described below:

[0128] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the structure of an optical fiber connector assembly 3 provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 3 The optical fiber connector assembly 3 in the embodiment can be used not only in Figure 2 In the network node of the frame-type communication device 1000, the ports of the network node of the communication device 1000 are arranged in multiple rows and columns. Figure 3 The optical fiber connector assembly 3 in the embodiment may also be applied to a network node of a communication device 1000 whose ports are arranged in a single row or a single column.

[0129] Reference Figure 3 The optical fiber connector assembly 3 includes an optical fiber connector 6 and a label structure 5. The optical fiber connector 6 is connected to the adapter 2 in the network node of the communication device 1000 to realize the interaction of optical signals. The label structure 5 is connected to the optical fiber connector 6. Since label information is set on the label structure 5, it can accurately identify the corresponding information of the port and realize the digital management of port resources.

[0130] In some embodiments, the optical fiber connector 6 includes a plug 61, a middle piece 62 and a tail sleeve 63, wherein the middle piece 62 is connected between the plug 61 and the tail sleeve 63, and the tail sleeve 63 is connected to the optical fiber, wherein the optical fiber is connected to the optical fiber located inside the optical fiber connector 6, thereby realizing the transmission of the optical signal. The plug 61 is used to be inserted into the adapter 2 to realize the connection between the optical fiber connector 6 and the adapter 2.

[0131] The type of the optical fiber connector 6 in this embodiment is not limited. For example, the type of the optical fiber connector 6 shown in this embodiment is any one of the following: a ferrule connector (FC) type optical fiber connector, a subscriber connector (SC) type optical fiber connector, a lucent connector (LC) type optical fiber connector, a straight tip (ST) type optical fiber connector, or a fiber distributed data interface (FDDI) type optical fiber connector, etc.

[0132] In some embodiments, the label structure 5 includes a head 10, a tail 20, and a connecting portion 30 and a slide rail structure 40 located between the head 10 and the tail 20, wherein the connecting portion 30 has two ends in its extension direction X, one end 31 of the connecting portion 30 in the extension direction X is connected to the head 10, and the other end 32 of the connecting portion 30 in the extension direction X is connected to the tail 20 through the slide rail structure 40, that is, the slide rail structure 40 is connected between the other end 32 of the connecting portion 30 in the extension direction X and the tail 20.

[0133] It can be understood that in some embodiments, the connection portion 30 is substantially in the shape of a straight strip, and the extension direction X of the connection portion 30 is the length direction of the connection portion 30. The head portion 10, the connection portion 30, the slide rail structure 40, and the tail portion 20 are sequentially connected along the extension direction X of the connection portion 30. In other embodiments, the connection portion 30 is in the shape of a strip with a certain curvature, and the extension direction is the trajectory of the extension of the connection portion 30.

[0134] In some embodiments, the head 10 is connected to the optical fiber connector 6, for example, the head 10 is connected to the plug 61 of the optical fiber connector 6. It is understandable that in some other embodiments, the label structure 5 can also be connected to the middle piece 62 and the tail sleeve 63 of the optical fiber connector 6.

[0135] In some implementations, the head 10 is provided with a slot 11 , and the plug 61 is disposed in the slot 11 .

[0136] In some embodiments, there is a receiving space 120 between the head 10 and the tail 20, the plug 61 of the optical fiber connector 6 is inserted into the slot 11, and the middle piece 62 and the tail sleeve 63 of the optical fiber connector 6 are located in the receiving space 120 between the head 10 and the tail 20. It can be understood that in some embodiments, the plug 61 and the middle piece 62 of the optical fiber connector 6 can also be inserted into the slot 11, and the tail sleeve 63 can be arranged in the receiving space 120 between the head 10 and the tail 20. By arranging the middle piece 62 and / or the tail sleeve 63 of the connector in the receiving space 120, the volume of the optical fiber connector assembly 3 can be effectively reduced, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the optical fiber connector assembly 3.

[0137] In some implementations, the tail portion 20 includes a marking surface 21 , on which label information is set for easy identification.

[0138] It can be understood that the label information shown on the identification surface 21 in this embodiment can be set on the identification surface 21 when the optical fiber connector assembly 3 leaves the factory, or the label information can be set on the identification surface 21 when the optical fiber connector assembly 3 is used subsequently.

[0139] The label information used to identify the optical fiber connector 6 on the identification surface 21 in this embodiment is not limited, as long as the label information can uniquely identify the optical fiber connector 6. That is, different label information can be used to identify different optical fiber connectors 6. For example, the label information can be a two-dimensional code, a unique identifier, a barcode, or digital text information used to uniquely identify the optical fiber connector 6.

[0140] It is understandable that, since there is a receiving space 120 between the head 10 and the tail 20, and the optical fiber connector assembly 3 is arranged at a high density in the insertion frame 1, other optical fibers 4 connected to other optical fiber connector assemblies 3 may be mixed into the receiving space 120 between the head 10 and the tail 20. The optical fiber connector assembly 3 in the embodiment of the present application can effectively avoid the interference of other optical fibers 4 in the receiving space 120 between the head 10 and the tail 20 with the optical fiber connector assembly 3.

[0141] In some embodiments, since the slide rail structure 40 is located between the tail 20 and the other end 32 of the extension direction X of the connecting portion 30, the slide rail structure 40 can make other optical fibers 4 located in the accommodating space 120 between the head 10 and the tail 20 slide along the slide rail structure 40 and detach from the tail 20, thereby avoiding the clamping phenomenon of the tail 20 on other optical fibers 4, so that other optical fibers 4 and the tail 20 will not interfere with each other, and will not cause the connection between some optical fiber connector components 3 and the adapter 2 to become loose. For example, after the slide rail structure 40 extends from the other end 32 of the extension direction X of the connecting portion 30 to the multiple corners 23 of the first surface 22, a surface with a smooth transition from the connecting portion 30 to the corners 23 of the first plane will be formed on the slide rail structure 40, so that other optical fibers 4 and the tail 20 can be prevented from interfering with each other through the smooth transition surface. This can be specifically analyzed through the embodiment of the label structure 5 in the following embodiment.

[0142] Figure 4 A schematic structural diagram of a label structure 5 provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 5 for Figure 4 A schematic structural diagram of the label structure 5 from another perspective. Figure 4 The label structure 5 in the embodiment can be applied not only to Figure 3 The optical fiber connector assembly 3 in the embodiment can also be used in conjunction with other types of optical fiber connectors.

[0143] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the label structure 5 includes a head 10 , a connecting portion 30 , a slide rail structure 40 and a tail 20 which are sequentially connected along an extension direction X of the connecting portion 30 .

[0144] The surface of the tail portion 20 facing the head portion 10 is the first surface 22, which is also the surface connected to the slide rail structure 40. That is, the slide rail structure 40 is connected to the other end 32 of the connecting portion 30 in the extension direction X and the first surface 22 of the tail portion 20.

[0145] The first surface 22 has a plurality of corners 23 formed by the edges of the first surface 22, and each corner 23 may be caught by other optical fibers 4 located between the head 10 and the tail 20 (refer to Figure 2A ), the slide rail structure 40 in the embodiment of the present application can prevent each corner 23 of the first surface 22 from getting stuck with other optical fibers 4 located at the head 10 and the tail 20.

[0146] In some embodiments, the slide rail structure 40 extends from the connection portion 30 to multiple corners 23 of the first surface 22, that is, the slide rail structure 40 extends from the other end 32 of the extension direction X of the connection portion 30 to each corner 23 of the first surface 22, so that other optical fibers 4 can be separated from any corner 23 through the slide rail structure 40, and then other optical fibers 4 can be separated from the first surface 22, which can avoid the first surface 22 from interfering with other optical fibers 4. Therefore, when the optical fiber connector assembly 3 is densely inserted in the insertion frame 1, it can be ensured that the optical fiber and the optical fiber connector assembly 3 do not interfere with each other, and the optical fiber connector assembly 3 arranged with high density can be connected normally and stably with the adapter 2.

[0147] It should be noted that the "corner 23" in the embodiment of the present application refers to a roughly angled portion, for example, some corners are still referred to as the "corner 23" in the present application after being rounded. The "corner 23" in the embodiment of the present application is formed by the edge of the first surface 22, is the portion where two adjacent edges of the first surface 22 intersect, and may catch other optical fibers 4.

[0148] It is understandable that the structure and shape of the slide rail structure 40 can be various, as long as the other optical fibers 4 located between the head portion 10 and the tail portion 20 can be separated from the tail portion 20 along the slide rail structure 40 .

[0149] In some embodiments, the slide rail structure 40 includes a plurality of guide portions 41, and the plurality of guide portions 41 extend from the connection portion 30 to the first surface 22. Specifically, the plurality of guide portions 41 extend from the other end 32 of the extension direction X of the connection portion 30 to the plurality of corners 23 of the first surface 22, and each corner 23 is connected to the guide portion 41. Since the plurality of guide portions 41 extend from the other end 32 of the extension direction X of the connection portion 30 to the plurality of corners 23, other optical fibers 4 between the head portion 10 and the tail portion 20 can smoothly pass through the plurality of guide portions 41 to detach from the plurality of corners 23 of the first surface 22, and since each corner 23 is connected to the guide portion 41, each corner 23 can be guided by the guide portion 41 to avoid being stuck with other optical fibers 4, thereby preventing other optical fibers 4 between the head portion 10 and the tail portion 20 from interfering with the tail portion 20, so as to ensure that the high-density arranged optical fiber connector assembly 3 can be normally and stably connected to the adapter 2. In addition, since the slide rail structure 40 in this embodiment is composed of a plurality of guide portions 41 , the guide portions 41 can be reasonably arranged according to the positions of the plurality of corner portions 23 of the first surface 22 , thereby improving the diversity of the design of the guide portions 41 .

[0150] In some embodiments, some of the plurality of guide portions 41 may extend from the other end 32 of the connecting portion 30 in the extension direction X to one of the corners 23 of the first surface 22 .

[0151] In some embodiments, some of the multiple guide portions 41 can extend from the other end 32 of the extension direction X of the connecting portion 30 to multiple corners 23 of the first surface 22, for example, they can extend from the other end 32 of the extension direction X of the connecting portion 30 to 2, 3 or 4 corners 23 of the first surface 22.

[0152] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the guide portion 41 includes a guide surface 411, and the guide portion 41 guides the other optical fibers 4 between the head portion 10 and the tail portion 20 through the guide surface 411 to guide the optical fiber away from the first surface 22. It should be noted that the guide surface 411 refers to the surface of the guide portion 41 that can contact the other optical fibers 4 between the head portion 10 and the tail portion 20, for example, the surface of the guide portion 41 that is away from the first surface 22 is the guide surface 411 in this embodiment.

[0153] In some embodiments, the guide surface 411 extends from the other end 32 of the extension direction X of the connecting portion 30 to at least one of the multiple corner portions 23. It can be understood that the guide surface 411 in some embodiments extends from the other end 32 of the extension direction X of the connecting portion 30 to one of the multiple corner portions 23. The guide surface 411 in some embodiments extends from the other end 32 of the extension direction X of the connecting portion 30 to multiple corner portions 23 among the multiple corner portions 23. Since the guide surface 411 extends from the other end 32 of the extension direction X of the connecting portion 30 to at least one of the multiple corners 23, the other optical fibers 4 located between the head 10 and the tail 20 can slide along the guide surface 411 from the connecting portion 30 to the corner 23 of the first surface 22, and then detach from the first surface 22 from the corner 23 of the first surface 22, and then detach from the tail 20, thereby avoiding mutual interference between the tail 20 and the other optical fibers 4 located between the head 10 and the tail 20, thereby ensuring that the high-density arranged optical fiber connector assembly 3 can be normally and stably connected to the adapter 2.

[0154] In some embodiments, the structures of the plurality of guide portions 41 are different. In order to distinguish the different guide portions 41, the guide surface 411 extending from the other end 32 of the extension direction X of the connecting portion 30 to one of the plurality of corner portions 23 is set as the first guide surface 421, and the guide portion 41 including the first guide surface 421 is set as the first guide portion 42. The guide surface 411 extending from the other end 32 of the extension direction X of the connecting portion 30 to two adjacent corner portions 23 among the plurality of corner portions 23 is set as the second guide surface 431, and the guide portion 41 including the second guide surface 431 is set as the second guide portion 43. The label structure 5 in the embodiment of the present application can be provided with a corresponding number of first guide portions 42 and second guide portions 43 according to the number of corner portions 23 of the first surface 22 and the shape of the first surface 22.

[0155] In some embodiments, the plurality of guide portions 41 include at least one first guide portion 42 and at least one second guide portion 43, the first guide surface 421 extends from the other end 32 of the extension direction X of the connection portion 30 to one of the plurality of corner portions 23, and the second guide surface 431 extends from the other end 32 of the extension direction X of the connection portion 30 to two adjacent corner portions 23 of the plurality of corner portions 23. For example, in some embodiments, one first guide portion 42 and two second guide portions 43 may be set. For another example, in some embodiments, two first guide portions 42 and two second guide portions 43 may be set. For another example, in some embodiments, multiple first guide portions 42 may be set without the second guide portion 43. Multiple second guide portions 43 may also be set without the first guide portion 42. In this embodiment, by the cooperation between the first guide portion 42 and the second wire portion and the first surface 22 of the tail portion 20, the design diversity of the tail portion 20 of the label structure 5 in the embodiment of the present application may be improved.

[0156] In some embodiments, the first surface 22 includes four corners 23. For ease of description, the four corners 23 are respectively set to be a first corner 231, a second corner 232, a third corner 233, and a fourth corner 234. The slide rail structure 40 in this embodiment includes a first guide portion 42 and two second guide portions 43. That is, in this embodiment, a first guide surface 421 and two second guide surfaces 431 are used to make the other optical fibers 4 in the accommodation space 120 between the head 10 and the tail 20 detach from the first surface 22. Specifically, the first guide surface 421 extends from the other end 32 of the extension direction X of the connecting portion 30 to the first corner 231, one of the second guide surfaces 431 extends from the other end 32 of the extension direction X of the connecting portion 30 to the second corner 232 and the third corner 233, and another second guide surface 431 extends from the other end 32 of the extension direction X of the connecting portion 30 to the third corner 233 and the fourth corner 234. In the present embodiment, the other optical fibers 4 in the accommodating space 120 between the head portion 10 and the tail portion 20 slide over the first corner 231 via the first guide surface 421, slide over the second corner 232 and the third corner 233 via one of the second guide surfaces 431, and slide over the third corner 233 and the fourth corner 234 via another of the second guide surfaces 431, so that the four corners 23 of the first surface 22 can avoid being stuck with the other optical fibers 4, thereby preventing the tail portion 20 from interfering with the other optical fibers 4 in the accommodating space 120 between the head portion 10 and the tail portion 20. In addition, since one of the second guide surfaces 431 extends from the other end 32 of the extension direction X of the connecting portion 30 to the second corner 232 and the third corner 233, and the other second guide surface 431 extends from the other end 32 of the extension direction X of the connecting portion 30 to the third corner 233 and the fourth corner 234, the two second guide surfaces 431 are connected at the third corner 233, so that the two second guide surfaces 431 can prevent other optical fibers 4 from passing through the area between the second guide portion 43 and the first surface 22, and can also reduce the probability of the optical fiber mistakenly passing through the area between the first guide portion 42 and the first surface 22.

[0157] In some embodiments, the second guide portion 43 is roughly a plate-like structure, and the second guide portion 43 includes a second edge portion 432 connected to the first surface 22, wherein the second edge portion 432 is connected to the edge where two adjacent corners 23 of the first surface 22 are located, for example, the second edge portion 432 is connected to the edge where the second corner 232 and the third corner 233 on the first surface 22 mentioned above are located, thereby avoiding the formation of a perforation between the second guide portion 43 and the first surface 22, so as to avoid other optical fibers 4 from mistakenly passing through the perforation between the second guide portion 43 and the first surface 22.

[0158] In some embodiments, the second guide portion 43 is shaped like a triangular plate structure, and three corners of the second guide portion 43 are respectively connected to the other end 32 of the connecting portion 30 in the extension direction X and two adjacent corner portions 23 .

[0159] In some embodiments, the first guide portion 42 is generally in a plate-like structure, and includes a first edge portion 422, the first edge portion 422 extends from one of the corner portions 23 of the first surface 22 to the second guide portion 43, and the first edge portion 422 is in contact with the first surface 22. Thus, a through hole can be avoided between the first guide portion 42 and the first surface 22, so as to prevent other optical fibers 4 from mistakenly passing through the through hole between the first guide portion 42 and the first surface 22.

[0160] It is understandable that in some other embodiments, the first guide portion 42 may not be a plate-shaped structure, but may be a columnar structure or other structures.

[0161] In some embodiments, the guide surface 411 may be a plane. In some other embodiments, the guide surface 411 may be a concave curved surface or a convex curved surface. The guide surface 411 may also be any combination of a plane, a concave curved surface, and a convex curved surface, such as a combination of multiple planes, planes, and curved surfaces. Through the smooth transition of the guide surface 411 from the connecting portion 30 to the corner 23 of the first surface 22, other optical fibers 4 can be separated from the tail portion 20 along the guide surface 411.

[0162] For example, in some embodiments, the first guide surface 421 is a plane.

[0163] In some embodiments, the first surface 22 is square when it includes four corners 23. Of course, in other embodiments, the first surface 22 may also be in a rhombus, rectangle, trapezoid, etc. In addition, in other embodiments, the first surface 22 may also include three corners 23, five corners 23, six corners 23, or more corners 23.

[0164] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5In some embodiments, the label structure 5 further includes a fiber clamp 50 located between the head 10 and the tail 20, the fiber clamp 50 is provided on the connection portion 30, and the fiber clamp 50 is used to clamp the optical fiber 7 connected to the optical fiber connector 6. In this embodiment, since the fiber clamp 50 is provided on the connection portion 30, the optical fiber 7 connected to the optical fiber connector 6 can be clamped by the fiber clamp 50. After the optical fiber is fixed, the gap between the optical fiber 7 connected to the optical fiber connector 6 and the connection portion 30 can be reduced, thereby greatly reducing the probability of other optical fibers 4 being inserted into the gap between the optical fiber 7 connected to the optical fiber connector 6 and the connection portion 30. In addition, since the fiber clamp 50 is provided and the optical fiber 7 connected to the optical fiber connector 6 is fixed on the fiber clamp 50, a part of the accommodation space 120 between the head 10 and the tail 20 can be occupied by the fiber clamp 50 and the optical fiber 7 connected to the optical fiber connector 6, thereby reducing the probability of other optical fibers 4 passing through the accommodation space 120 between the head 10 and the tail 20. Combined with the slide rail structure 40 mentioned above, the probability of other optical fibers 4 getting stuck with the tail 20 can be greatly reduced, so as to ensure a stable connection between the optical fiber connector assembly 3 and the adapter 2.

[0165] It can be understood that, under the premise of ensuring that the optical fiber 7 connected to the optical fiber connector 6 can be bent smoothly, the position of the fiber clamp 50 can be at any position in the extension direction X of the connecting portion 30. For example, in some embodiments, the fiber clamp 50 is located at the other end 32 of the extension direction X of the connecting portion 30, so that the distance between the fiber clamp 50 and the first surface 22 of the tail portion 20 can be minimized, thereby effectively reducing the probability of other optical fibers 4 entering the area between the fiber clamp 50 and the first surface 22, thereby effectively reducing the number of other optical fibers 4 that may interfere with the tail portion 20 of the label structure 5, thereby reducing the probability of other optical fibers 4 interfering with the tail portion 20 of the label structure 5, so as to ensure a stable connection between the optical fiber connector assembly 3 and the adapter 2.

[0166] In some embodiments, the fiber clamp 50 is provided with a slot 51 extending in the extension direction X of the connecting portion 30. The optical fiber 7 connected to the optical fiber connector 6 can pass through the slot 51, so that the optical fiber 7 is effectively fixed to the fiber clamp 50 through the slot 51 to ensure the stability of the clamping.

[0167] In some embodiments, the size of the opening of the card slot 51 is smaller than the diameter of the optical fiber 7 connected to the optical fiber connector 6. Since the size of the opening of the card slot 51 is smaller than the diameter of the optical fiber 7 connected to the optical fiber connector 6, the optical fiber 7 connected to the optical fiber connector 6 can be effectively fixed on the fiber clamp 50 to ensure the stability of the clamping.

[0168] It is understandable that the size of the opening of the card slot 51 may also be greater than or equal to the diameter of the optical fiber 7 connected to the optical fiber connector 6 , as long as the card slot 51 can limit the optical fiber 7 .

[0169] In some embodiments, the fiber clamp 50 includes an inclined surface 52 toward the head 10, and the inclined surface 52 extends from the connecting portion 30 to the end of the fiber clamp 50 away from the connecting portion 30. Through the inclined surface 52, other optical fibers 4 located between the fiber clamp 50 and the head 10 can be effectively guided to outside the area where the fiber clamp 50 and the head 10 are located, thereby preventing interference between the fiber clamp 50 and other optical fibers 4, thereby ensuring a stable connection between the optical fiber connector assembly 3 and the adapter 2.

[0170] In some embodiments, the inclined surface 52 and the extending direction X of the connecting portion 30 are substantially arranged at an obtuse angle 23. Since the inclined surface 52 and the extending direction X of the connecting portion 30 are arranged at an obtuse angle 23, it is convenient for other optical fibers 4 located between the fiber clamp 50 and the head 10 to leave the area between the fiber clamp 50 and the head 10 from the inclined surface 52 without interfering with the fiber clamp 50.

[0171] It is understandable that the inclined surface 52 may be a plane. In some other embodiments, the inclined surface 52 may also be a curved surface, such as a concave curved surface or a convex curved surface.

[0172] It is understandable that the structure of the fiber clamp 50 may also be other structures besides the above-mentioned embodiments, for example, the fiber clamp 50 may also be a movable clamp structure, and for another example, the fiber clamp 50 may also be provided with a through hole penetrating in the extension direction X of the connecting portion 30, and the optical fiber passes through the through hole to achieve the fixation of the optical fiber. Any fiber clamp 50 of any structure that can fix the optical fiber 7 connected to the optical fiber connector 6 is within the protection scope of this application.

[0173] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the head 10 includes a fixing frame 12 and a cover 13 detachably fixed to the fixing frame 12. The fixing frame 12 is provided with a slot 11. The cover 13 is detachably fixed at the opening of the slot 11. The slot 11 can accommodate the optical fiber connector 6 mentioned above, such as the plug 61 or the middle piece 62 of the optical fiber connector 6. After the cover 13 is fixed to the fixing frame 12, the opening of the slot 11 can be covered with the cover 13, and the optical fiber connector 6 located in the slot 11 can be fixed in the slot 11. By removing the cover 13, the optical fiber connector 6 can be easily taken out of the slot 11. Therefore, the label structure 5 in this embodiment can conveniently replace or maintain the clamped optical fiber connector 6.

[0174] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the identification surface 21 is the surface of the tail 20 away from the head 10. That is, in the axial direction or length direction of the optical fiber connector 6, the identification surface 21 is arranged perpendicular to the axial direction of the optical fiber connector 6. In this embodiment, since the identification surface 21 is located on the surface of the tail 20 away from the head 10, and the identification surface 21 is arranged perpendicular to the axial direction of the optical fiber connector 6, it is convenient to identify the label information on the identification surface 21 from the axial direction of the optical fiber connector 6. Therefore, after a large number of optical fiber connector assemblies 3 are plugged into the adapter 2 on the plug-in frame 1 in a high-density arrangement, the identification surface 21 can be uniformly oriented in the same direction to facilitate uniform scanning.

[0175] In some embodiments, the tail 20 is a block structure with multiple faces, and at least two of the multiple faces of the tail 20 are identification faces 21. Through at least two identification faces 21, the identification faces 21 can be effectively scanned in various application scenarios. For example, for some pull-out optical fiber distribution frames, the front panel of the optical fiber distribution frame is a closed structure and cannot be opened. When the identification face 21 cannot be scanned from the front, the identification face 21 can still be scanned from other directions.

[0176] In some embodiments, the tail 20 is roughly in a rectangular parallelepiped structure, wherein the surface facing the head 10 is the first surface 22, and the other surfaces of the tail 20 can be set as the identification surface 21. For example, in some embodiments, in the width direction Y of the head 10 (the width direction as shown in the drawings), the two opposite surfaces of the tail 20 are set as the identification surface 21, and in addition, the surface of the tail 20 opposite to the first surface 22, that is, the surface away from the head 10, is set as the identification surface 21. Among them, the size of the width direction Y of the head 10 is greater than the size of the height direction of the head 10, and the length direction of the head 10 is the extension direction X of the connecting portion 30. With such a design, when the optical fiber connector assembly 3 is inserted into the adapter 2, the identification surface 21 on the tail 20 can be scanned not only by a camera device on the front side (that is, directly facing the tail 20 in the direction of the connecting portion 30 extending), but also by a camera device set in the width direction Y of the head 10.

[0177] Of course, in some other embodiments, other surfaces except the first surface 22 may be set as the identification surface 21 to adapt to more application scenarios. In addition, the identification surface 21 may be set on other heads 10 or connecting parts 30.

[0178] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of another optical fiber connector assembly 3 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3In the optical fiber connector assembly 3, the label structure 5 and the optical fiber connector 6 of the optical fiber connector assembly 3 in this embodiment are no longer detachably connected. Figure 6 The label structure 5 in the embodiment is based on Figure 3 and Figure 4 The improved label structure 5 in the embodiment, therefore, Figure 3-Figure 5 The terms mentioned in the following will not be repeated in detail, and can be directly referred to in the previous text.

[0179] Reference Figure 6 The head 10 of the label structure 5 is an integrated structure and does not have similar Figure 4 The detachable cover 13 in the embodiment and the optical fiber connector 6 are also directly encapsulated in the head 10. The head 10 in this embodiment can be directly connected to the adapter 2 as the plug 61 of the optical fiber connector 6. Such a design can improve the overall structural strength of the optical fiber connector assembly 3 and increase the service life.

[0180] The following embodiments are described by taking the first surface 22 having four corners 23 as an example. Figure 7-Figure 12 The slide rail structures 40 with different structures are introduced in the multiple embodiments. Figure 7-Figure 11 The head 10 of the label structure 5 is Figure 6 The head 10 of the label structure 5 in the embodiment is used as an example for description. It is understandable that the slide rail structure 40 with different structures can also be applied to Figure 4 The label structure 5 in the embodiment.

[0182] Reference Figure 7 In some embodiments, Figure 4 The difference between the slide rail structure 40 of the label structure 5 in the embodiment is that the shape of the first guide portion 42 in this embodiment is different. The first guide portion 42 in this embodiment includes a first guide surface 421, and the first guide surface 421 is a concave surface. By setting the first guide surface 421 as a concave surface, it is convenient for other optical fibers 4 located between the head 10 and the tail 20 to be able to smoothly detach from the tail 20 under the guidance of the first guide surface 421 and other guide surfaces 411, and will not be stuck with the tail 20, so as to ensure the stability of the connection between the optical fiber connector assembly 3 and the adapter 2.

[0183] Reference Figure 8 In some embodiments, Figure 4 The difference between the slide rail structure 40 of the label structure 5 in the embodiment is that the first guide portion 42 in the embodiment has a different shape. The first guide portion 42 in the embodiment includes a first guide surface 421, and the first guide surface 421 is a convex surface. By setting the first guide surface 421 as a convex surface, it is also convenient for other optical fibers 4 located between the head 10 and the tail 20 to be able to smoothly detach from the tail 20 under the guidance of the first guide surface 421 and other guide surfaces 411.

[0184] Reference Fig. 9 In some embodiments, Figure 4The difference between the slide rail structure 40 of the label structure 5 in the embodiment is that the slide rail structure 40 in this embodiment includes three second guide parts 43, but does not include the first guide part 42. The second guide surfaces 431 of the three second guide parts 43 are all planes. By setting the three second guide surfaces 431 as planes, it is also convenient for other optical fibers 4 located between the head 10 and the tail 20 to be able to smoothly detach from the tail 20 under the guidance of the three second guide surfaces 431. Moreover, since the second guide part 43 has a second edge 432 connected to the first surface 22, it is possible to avoid the formation of a perforation between the second guide part 43 and the first surface 22, thereby further avoiding other optical fibers 4 from mistakenly penetrating into the perforation between the second guide part 43 and the first surface 22, thereby further reducing the possibility of interference between the optical fiber and the label structure 5.

[0185] Reference Fig.10 In some embodiments, Figure 4 The difference between the slide rail structure 40 of the label structure 5 in the embodiment is that the slide rail structure 40 in this embodiment also includes three second guide parts 43, but does not include the first guide part 42. At least one second guide surface 431 of the three second guide parts 43 is a concave surface, and the other second guide surfaces 431 are planes. By setting the three second guide surfaces 431 as planes or concave surfaces, it is also convenient for other optical fibers 4 located between the head 10 and the tail 20 to be able to smoothly detach from the tail 20 under the guidance of the three second guide surfaces 431. It can also further prevent other optical fibers 4 from mistakenly penetrating into the perforation between the second guide part 43 and the first surface 22, thereby further reducing the possibility of interference between the optical fiber and the label structure 5.

[0186] Reference Fig.11 In some embodiments, Figure 4 The difference between the slide rail structure 40 of the label structure 5 in the embodiment is that the slide rail structure 40 in this embodiment also includes three second guide parts 43, but does not include the first guide part 42. At least one second guide surface 431 of the three second guide parts 43 is a convex curved surface, and the other second guide surfaces 431 are planes. By setting the three second guide surfaces 431 as planes or convex curved surfaces, it is also convenient for other optical fibers 4 located between the head 10 and the tail 20 to be able to smoothly detach from the tail 20 under the guidance of the three second guide surfaces 431. It can also further prevent other optical fibers 4 from mistakenly penetrating into the perforation between the second guide part 43 and the first surface 22, thereby further reducing the possibility of interference between the optical fiber and the label structure 5.

[0187] Reference Fig.12 In some embodiments, Figure 4The difference between the slide rail structure 40 of the label structure 5 in the embodiment is that the first guide part 42 in the embodiment is different in form, and the first guide part 42 in the embodiment is a columnar structure. The first guide part 42 can also facilitate the other optical fibers 4 located between the head 10 and the tail 20 to be smoothly separated from the tail 20 under the guidance of the first guide part 42 and other guide parts 41, without being stuck with the tail 20, so as to ensure the stability of the connection between the optical fiber connector assembly 3 and the adapter 2.

[0188] It is understandable that the first guide portion 42 may be a straight rod-shaped structure or a rod-shaped structure with a certain curvature.

[0189] It is understandable that the above Figure 7-Figure 12 Different slide rail structures 40 in the embodiment may be combined with each other. For example, the guide surface 411 may be a random combination of a concave surface, a convex surface and a flat surface.

[0190] Reference Fig.13 In some embodiments, Figure 4 The difference between the slide rail structure 40 of the label structure 5 in the embodiment is that the slide rail structure 40 in the embodiment is a frustum-shaped structure, one end of the slide rail structure 40 facing the connection part 30 is connected to the other end 32 of the extension direction X of the connection part 30, one end of the slide rail structure 40 facing the first surface 22 is connected to the first surface 22, and the edge of the end of the slide rail structure 40 facing the first surface 22 is roughly coincident with the edge of the first surface 22. The slide rail structure 40 in the embodiment can also effectively guide the other optical fibers 4 between the head 10 and the tail 20 to smoothly disengage from the tail 20 without getting stuck with the tail 20, so as to ensure the stability of the connection between the optical fiber connector assembly 3 and the adapter 2.

[0191] It is understandable that in some other embodiments, the slide rail structure 40 may also be a prism-shaped structure.

[0192] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, it can be understood that the first surface of the tail is basically covered by the slide rail structure, so it cannot be directly shown in the drawings, and only the edge of the first surface can be seen in the drawings. Of course, it can also be understood that the slide rail structure is composed of the first surface of the tail, and in this case the slide rail structure is part of the tail.

[0193] It should be noted that, for a certain optical fiber connector assembly 3, the optical fibers other than the optical fiber 7 connected to the optical fiber connector 6 in the accommodating space 120 between the head 10 and the tail 20 of the corresponding label structure 5 are all referred to as "other optical fibers 4" above or below.

[0194] Fig.14 A schematic structural diagram of another label structure 5 provided in an embodiment of the present application; Fig.14The label structure 5 in the embodiment is based on Figure 3 and Figure 4 The improved label structure 5 in the embodiment, therefore, Figure 3-Figure 5 The terms mentioned in the following will not be repeated in detail, and can be directly referred to in the previous text. Figure 4 and Figure 5 Description in . Fig.14 The label structure 5 in the embodiment of Figure 3 and Figure 4 The same parts of the label structure 5 in the embodiment will not be described in detail below, and can also be directly referred to in the above Figure 4 and Figure 5 The following mainly describes Fig.14 The label structure 5 in the embodiment of Figure 3-Figure 5 Distinguishing features of the label structure 5 in the embodiment.

[0195] Reference Fig.14 , Fig.14 The position of the fiber clamp 50 of the label structure 5 in the embodiment of Figure 4 The position of the fiber clamp 50 of the label structure 5 in the embodiment is different. The fiber clamp 50 in this embodiment is arranged on the slide rail structure 40. In this embodiment, since the fiber clamp 50 is arranged on the slide rail structure 40, the distance between the fiber clamp 50 and the first surface 22 can be further reduced under the premise of ensuring that the optical fiber 7 connected to the optical fiber connector 6 can be bent smoothly, thereby further reducing the probability of other optical fibers 4 passing through the area between the fiber clamp 50 and the first surface 22, and the area between the fiber clamp 50 and the head 10, because the tail sleeve 63 of the optical fiber connector 6 and the optical fiber 7 connected to the optical fiber connector 6 are accommodated, and because the optical fiber 7 connected to the optical fiber connector 6 is fixed by the fiber clamp 50, the gap between the optical fiber 7 connected to the optical fiber connector 6 and the connecting part 30 is not enough to insert other optical fibers 4, so that the label structure in this embodiment can effectively reduce the accommodating space 120 for other optical fibers 4 to pass through the head 10 and the tail 20, thereby reducing the interference between other optical fibers 4 and the tail 20 of the label structure 5, so as to ensure the stability of the connection between the optical fiber connector assembly 3 and the adapter 2.

[0196] In some embodiments, the slide rail structure 40 includes three second guide portions 43, and the three second guide portions 43 enclose an accommodating space 44. The fiber clamp 50 is disposed in the accommodating space 44 enclosed by the three second guide portions 43. At this time, the three sides of the first surface 22 are connected to the three second side portions 432 of the three second guide portions 43 in a one-to-one correspondence. The first surface 22 also has an edge that is not blocked by the second guide portion 43, so that the optical fiber 7 connected to the optical fiber connector 6 can extend out of the accommodating space 44 from the unblocked edge. In this embodiment, the three second guide portions 43 can avoid mutual interference between other optical fibers 4 and the tail portion 20, and the fiber clamp 50 disposed in the accommodating space 44 can fix the optical fiber 7 connected to the optical fiber connector 6, and can effectively increase the length between the fiber clamp 50 and the head portion 10 to accommodate the optical fiber connector 6 with a relatively long tail sleeve 63.
