Simply put, the function of an optical module is photoelectric conversion. The transmitting end converts electrical signals into optical signals. After being transmitted through optical fibers, the receiving end converts the optical signals into electrical signals. Optical module components usually include lasers, optical modulators, detectors, amplifiers and other components to complete signal transmission, modulation, transmission and reception.

During the use of the optical module assembly, the optical module body will generate heat. The heat-conducting structure has good heat-conducting properties, and the heat-conducting structure will transfer the temperature of the optical module body to the pull ring. The pull ring can sense the temperature on the optical module body in real time, so that when the temperature of the optical module body approaches or exceeds the normal working temperature, the temperature-sensing warning structure set on the optical module body can send a warning signal, thereby reminding the operator to repair or replace the corresponding optical module assembly.

[0027] Reference Figure 1-4As shown, the utility model provides a technical solution: an optical module assembly capable of independent heat dissipation, comprising an optical module body 1, two L-shaped plates 2 are fixedly connected to the surface of the optical module body 1, a heat conducting plate 3 is slidably connected to the inner surface of the two L-shaped plates 2, a card plate 4 is slidably inserted in the L-shaped plate 2, a fixed plate 5 is fixedly connected to the L-shaped surface, a limit rod 6 is slidably inserted in the fixed plate 5, one end of the limit rod 6 is fixedly connected to a stopper 7, a limit groove is provided on the surface of the card plate 4, a spring 8 is sleeved on the arc surface of the limit rod 6, and the two ends of the spring 8 are respectively fixedly connected to the stopper 7 and the fixed plate 5. When the stopper 7 is released, the elastic force of the spring 8 drives the limit rod 6 to slide in the fixed plate 5 and insert into the limit groove of the card plate 4, thereby improving the stability of the device, a sliding hole is provided on the surface of the L-shaped plate 2, a sliding rod 9 is slidably connected to the inner surface of the sliding hole of the L-shaped plate 2, one end of the two sliding rods 9 is fixedly connected to a connecting plate 10, and one end of the two sliding rods 9 is fixedly connected to a brush. Pulling the connecting plate 10 drives the sliding rod 9 to slide on the inner surface of the sliding hole of the L-shaped plate 2, and the sliding rod 9 drives the brush to slide on the surface of the heat conducting plate 3, so that the staff can clean the surface of the heat conducting plate 3, avoid the situation that the heat conducting plate 3 is used for a long time and the dust is accumulated on the surface, which affects the heat release of the heat conducting plate 3, and improves the practicality of the device. The surface of the connecting plate 10 is fixedly connected with a setting plate 12, and a screw 13 is inserted into the inner thread of the setting plate 12, and a baffle 14 is rotatably connected to one end of the screw 13. The screw 13 is rotated in the setting plate 12, and the screw 13 drives the baffle 14 to move until the baffle 14 contacts the surface of the optical module body 1, blocking the movement of the brush, and avoiding the situation that the brush slides and blocks the surface of the heat conducting plate 3. The surface of the setting plate 12 is fixedly connected with a mounting plate 16, and a slide plate 17 is slidably inserted in the mounting plate 16, and one side of the slide plate 17 is fixedly connected to the baffle 14. The screw rod 13 is rotated in the setting plate 12, the screw rod 13 drives the baffle plate 14 to move, and the baffle plate 14 drives the slide plate 17 to slide in the installation plate 16, so as to avoid the baffle plate 14 rotating with the rotation of the screw rod 13. The end of the screw rod 13 away from the baffle plate 14 is fixedly connected with a handle 15.

[0028] Working principle: when the staff needs to install the heat conducting plate 3 on the optical module body 1, the heat dissipation plate is pushed to slide on the surface of the guide plate 18, and the card plate 4 is pushed to slide in the L-shaped plate 2 until the limit groove of the card plate 4 is aligned with the limit rod 6, and the elastic force of the spring 8 drives the limit rod 6 to slide in the fixed plate 5 and insert into the limit groove of the card plate 4. When the staff needs to clean the surface of the heat conducting plate 3, the connecting plate 10 is pulled to drive the sliding rod 9 to slide on the inner surface of the sliding hole of the L-shaped plate 2, and the sliding rod 9 drives the brush to slide on the surface of the heat conducting plate 3. When the position of the brush needs to be limited, the screw 13 is driven to rotate in the setting plate 12 by turning the handle 15, and the screw 13 drives the baffle 14 to move until the baffle 14 abuts against the surface of the optical module body 1, thereby achieving the effect of heat dissipation of the optical module body 1. By installing the heat conducting plate 3 on the surface of the optical module body 1, the operating temperature of the optical module assembly can be effectively reduced and the heat dissipation can be accelerated, thereby avoiding the influence of overheating on the performance and life of the equipment and improving the service life of the device.
