DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] In order to solve the problem of inconvenience in on-site installation of optoelectronic composite connectors and optoelectronic composite cables. The embodiments of the present application provide an optoelectronic composite connector and an adapter. In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application is further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] In order to solve the above problems, the embodiments of the present application provide an optoelectronic composite connector based on the LC optical fiber connector, which can be quickly installed on site. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an optoelectronic composite connector in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a conductive sheet in one embodiment of the present application. Figure 3This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an optoelectronic composite connector in another embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a side sectional view of an optoelectronic composite connector according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 to Figure 4 The optoelectronic composite connector includes a first housing 1, a second housing 2 and a conductive sheet 3. The first housing 1 has a receiving groove 11 and a through groove 12 extending along a first direction M respectively. The receiving groove 11 is used to receive the first conductor 101 of the optoelectronic composite cable 100, and the through groove 12 is used to receive the optical fiber 102 of the optoelectronic composite cable 100. The through groove 12 has a channel, and the optical fiber 102 is arranged in the channel. The conductive sheet 3 includes a connecting portion 31, which is located at the bottom of the receiving groove 11. The connecting portion 31 includes at least one tip 311, and the tip 311 is used to pierce the coating of the first conductor 101 and contact the first conductor 101. The second housing 2 is installed on the first housing 1 by rotation around a second direction N, and the second direction N is perpendicular to the first direction M. The second housing 2 includes a top plate 21 and a side plate 22 connected to each other. When the second housing 2 rotates to the first position, the side plate 22 extends into the receiving groove 11 and pushes the first conductor 101 to approach the tip 311.

[0037] In the above embodiment, the conductive sheet 3 is fixedly mounted on the first housing 1, and the connecting portion 31 is located at the bottom of the receiving groove 11, and the tip 311 faces the opening of the receiving groove 11. When the optoelectronic composite connector and the optoelectronic composite cable 100 are assembled on site, the first conductor 101 is laid above the tip 311, the optical fiber 102 is laid in the channel of the through groove 12, and finally the second housing 2 is rotated to cover the first housing 1. The side plate 22 of the second housing 2 extends into the receiving groove 11 and continuously compresses the space in the receiving groove 11 to push the first conductor 101 to continuously approach the tip 311 of the conductive sheet 3, so that the coating is pierced by the tip 311, so that the tip 311 contacts the first conductor 101, thereby realizing the conduction between the first conductor 101 and the conductive sheet 3. When the second housing 2 is rotated to the first position, the second housing 2 is in the state of being installed. The optoelectronic composite connector of the present application can be assembled with the optoelectronic composite cable 100 without the aid of any tools, and the installation is convenient and fast, which improves efficiency.

[0038] In one embodiment, the through slot 12 includes a top wall 121, which is located on the side of the through slot 12 away from the first housing 1, and when the second housing 2 rotates to the first position, the top plate 21 fits against the top wall 121. The top wall 121 of the through slot 12 can limit the second housing 2, thereby reducing the situation where the second housing 2 squeezes and damages the first conductor 101 due to excessive rotation range.

[0039] In one embodiment, the above-mentioned receiving groove 11 includes a first receiving groove 111 and a second receiving groove 112, and the through groove 12 is located between the first receiving groove 111 and the second receiving groove 112. Specifically, the through groove 12 is located in the middle of the receiving groove 11, dividing the receiving groove 11 into two parts, forming the first receiving groove 111 and the second receiving groove 112. A conductive sheet 3 is also installed in the second receiving groove 112, and the tip 311 of the connecting portion 31 is located at the bottom of the second receiving groove 112. The optoelectronic composite cable 100 also includes a second conductor 103, wherein the first conductor 101 is located in the first receiving groove 111, and the second conductor 103 is located in the second receiving groove 112. Correspondingly, the above-mentioned side plate 22 includes a first side plate 221 and a second side plate 222 arranged opposite to each other along the second direction N, and the first side plate 221 and the second side plate 222 are respectively connected to the top plate 21, so that the second shell 2 is C-shaped. When the second shell 2 is covered, the first side plate 221 extends into the first receiving groove 111 to squeeze the first conductor 101, and the second side plate 222 extends into the second receiving groove 112 to squeeze the second conductor 103, so that the first conductor 101 and the second conductor 103 are respectively close to the tip 311, and finally their coating layers are pierced by the tip 311 to form contact and conduction with the conductive sheet 3.

[0040] In order to ensure that the coatings of the first conductor 101 and the second conductor 103 can be punctured, in one embodiment, the width of the first receiving groove 111 can be equal to or slightly larger than the outer diameter of the coating of the first conductor 101, so that the first conductor 101 will not roll in the first receiving groove 111. The width of the second receiving groove 112 can be equal to or slightly larger than the outer diameter of the coating of the second conductor 103, so that the second conductor 103 will not roll in the second receiving groove 112. This can effectively reduce the first conductor 101 and the second conductor 103 from sliding off the tip 311, resulting in the coating being unable to be effectively punctured.

[0041] In one embodiment, the first side plate 221 is provided with a first buckle 2211, and the second side plate 222 is provided with a second buckle 2221. The first buckle 2211 is located on the side of the first side plate 221 away from the second side plate 222, and the second buckle 2221 is located on the side of the second side plate 222 away from the first side plate 221. The first shell 1 includes a first side wall 13 and a second side wall 14 arranged opposite to each other along the second direction N, the first side wall 13 is provided with a first bayonet 131, and the second side wall 14 is provided with a second bayonet 141. When the second shell 2 rotates to the first position, the first buckle 2211 is inserted into the first bayonet 131, and the second buckle 2221 is inserted into the second bayonet 141. The second shell 2 is locked with the first shell 1.

[0042] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 and Figure 4The second housing 2 is provided with a first clamping portion 23 at one end away from the rotation center thereof, and a second clamping portion 15 is provided at the end of the first housing 1. When the second housing 2 is located at the first position, the second clamping portion 15 is opposite to the first clamping portion 23. The cross-sections of the first clamping portion 23 and the second clamping portion 15 are both C-shaped, and the openings are opposite. There is a gap between the first clamping portion 23 and the second clamping portion 15, and the gap allows the optical fiber 102, the first conductor 101 and the second conductor 103 to pass through. After the second housing 2 is covered, the first clamping portion 23 and the second clamping portion 15 are not in contact, so that the space between the first clamping portion 23 and the second clamping portion 15 is larger. Thus, the first conductor 101 and the second conductor 103 do not need to bypass the first clamping portion 23 and the second clamping portion 15, and can directly extend into the first receiving groove 111 and the second receiving groove 112 through the gap, thereby reducing the situation where the first conductor 101 and the second conductor 103 need to be bent and generate stress due to the need to bypass the first clamping portion 23 and the second clamping portion 15. The above-mentioned optoelectronic composite connector also includes a third shell 4, which is connected to the first clamping portion 23 and the second clamping portion 15. When the second shell 2 is located at the first position, the first clamping portion 23 and the second clamping portion 15 are combined to form a cylindrical structure, which can be called a clamping joint. The third shell 4 is sleeved on the outer wall of the clamping joint to achieve the fixation of the third shell 4, the first shell 1 and the second shell 2, and can prevent the second shell 2 from opening accidentally.

[0043] In order to improve the reliability of the connection between the third housing 4 and the first clamping portion 23 and the second clamping portion 15, refer to Figure 4 In one embodiment, at least one first ridge 231 is provided at intervals along the first direction M on the side of the first clamping portion 23 away from the second clamping portion 15, and at least one second ridge 151 is provided at intervals along the first direction M on the side of the second clamping portion 15 away from the first clamping portion 23. The inner wall of the third shell 4 has at least one annular groove 41 provided at intervals along the first direction M. The first ridge 231 and the second ridge 151 are located opposite to each other, and the first ridge 231 and the second ridge 151 are respectively engaged with the same groove 41. The third shell 4 can be prevented from being separated from the first shell 1 and the second shell 2. It is worth noting that the first ridge 231 can be not only provided on the side of the first clamping portion 23 away from the second clamping portion 15, but also can extend to both sides of the direction close to the second clamping portion 15. Similarly, the second ridge 151 can be not only provided on the side of the second clamping portion 15 away from the first clamping portion 23, but also can extend to both sides of the direction close to the first clamping portion 23. The outer wall of the card connector is covered with ridges, that is, all four sides of the card connector are provided with ridges, thereby improving the reliability of the connection with the third housing 4.

[0044] Figure 5 FIG. 1 is an exploded view of an optoelectronic composite connector according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 to Figure 5 In one embodiment, the third shell 4 has a through hole, and the optoelectronic composite cable 100 is inserted into the through hole. The third shell 4 is flexible and can protect the optoelectronic composite cable 100 from being damaged by stress bending.

[0045] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the fourth shell in one embodiment of the present application. Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an optoelectronic composite connector in another embodiment of the present application, Figure 6 and Figure 7 In one embodiment, the above-mentioned optoelectronic composite connector also includes a fourth shell 5, and the fourth shell 5 is installed at the end of the first shell 1 away from the third shell 4. The fourth shell 5 is a sleeve structure, which is sleeved on the outside of the first shell 1. The above-mentioned conductive sheet 3 is connected to the fourth shell 5, and the inner side of the fourth shell 5 is provided with a mounting groove 51. The conductive sheet 3 is inserted into the mounting groove 51 to achieve fixation with the fourth shell 5. The conductive sheet 3 may have been fixed to the fourth shell 5 before leaving the factory. For example, the two metal conductive sheets 3 may be fixed to the fourth shell 5 by insert injection molding. The conductive sheet 3 includes a contact portion 32, and the contact portion 32 is located at the end of the conductive sheet 3 away from the connecting portion 31. The outer wall of the fourth shell 5 has an avoidance hole 52, and the avoidance hole 52 is used to expose the contact portion 32 to the fourth shell 5.

The clamping plate 62 is installed in the mounting groove 611, and the sliding sleeve 63 is arranged outside the core body 61 and the clamping plate 62. The sliding sleeve 63 can slide along the first direction M. The core body 61 has a groove 612 for the optical fiber 102 to pass through. When the optical fiber 102 is laid in the groove 612, along the radial direction of the groove 612, part of the optical fiber 102 is located outside the groove 612. The compression sheet 62 covers the groove 612. When the compression sheet 62 moves toward the groove 612, the optical fiber 102 is compressed by the compression sheet 62 and the ferrule body 61, reducing its movement in the radial direction. The sliding sleeve 63 is used to make the compression sheet 62 close to the groove 612 so that the compression sheet 62 and the ferrule body 61 clamp the optical fiber 102.
