[0024] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0025] The utility model embodiment discloses a light-shielding optical coupler.

A plurality of pins 5 are fixedly provided on both sides of the optical coupler 1, and the pins 5 are arranged in coordination with the connecting grooves 4. The interiors of the plurality of connecting grooves 4 are filled with sealant 10, and the sealant 10 is arranged in coordination with the pins 5. A connecting ring 6 is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the first light-blocking sleeve 2, and a connecting hole is provided on the side wall of the connecting ring 6. An insert 7 is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the second light-blocking sleeve 3.
[0027] When blocking light for the optical coupler 1, the first light blocking sleeve 2 and the second light blocking sleeve 3 are covered on the outside of the optical coupler 1 from both sides of the optical coupler 1. At this time, the light blocking sleeve can be installed without removing the pin 5. Then, the plug 7 is inserted into the connecting ring 6 to complete the connection between the first light blocking sleeve 2 and the second light blocking sleeve 3. Then, the sealant 10 is filled in the connecting groove 4 to seal the connecting position of the pin 5 and the light blocking sleeve, thereby improving the light blocking effect of the first light blocking sleeve 2 and the second light blocking sleeve 3 on the optical coupler 1.
[0028] In order to ensure that the insert block 7 can be stably inserted into the connecting ring 6 after the first light blocking sleeve 2 and the second light blocking sleeve 3 are connected, as shown in FIG. Figure 1-2 As shown, a cavity is provided inside the plug block 7, and the plug block 7 is plugged into and matched with the connecting ring 6. A snap-fit positioning mechanism is provided inside the cavity, and the snap-fit positioning mechanism includes a snap block 8, which is a wedge-shaped block.

A through hole is provided on the side wall of the cavity to match the snap block 8, and the snap block 8 is matched with the connecting hole.
[0029] When the first light blocking sleeve 2 and the second light blocking sleeve 3 are in contact, the insert block 7 is inserted into the connecting ring 6. At this time, the inclined surface of the block 8 is pushed to squeeze the first spring 9. When the block 8 and the connecting hole are on the same horizontal line, the block 8 rebounds and is inserted into the connecting hole through the elastic force of the first spring 9 to fix the position of the insert block 7, thereby completing the connection between the first light blocking sleeve 2 and the second light blocking sleeve 3.
[0030] In order to make the optical coupler 1 contact with the PCB board and improve the stability of the optical coupler 1, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a bottom cover 11 is slidably penetrated through the lower end of the inner wall of the second light blocking sleeve 3, a sliding tube 12 is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the bottom cover 11, a positioning rod 13 is slidably penetrated through the inner wall of the sliding tube 12, the positioning rod 13 is U-shaped, a plurality of positioning holes 14 are arranged at intervals on the outer wall of the second light blocking sleeve 3 and cooperate with the positioning rod 13 to be inserted, a second spring 15 is sleeved on one end of the positioning rod 13 close to the sliding tube 12, and the two ends of the second spring 15 are respectively fixedly connected to the sliding tube 12 and the positioning rod 13.
[0031] When the first light blocking sleeve 2 and the second light blocking sleeve 3 are connected to the optical coupler 1, and the pin 5 is connected to the PCB board, the positioning rod 13 is pulled according to the distance between the optical coupler 1 and the PCB board, so that the positioning rod 13 slides along the sliding tube 12 and the second spring 15 is stretched at the same time, and then the position of the bottom cover 11 is moved and contacted with the PCB board, and then the positioning rod 13 is released. Under the elastic force recovery of the second spring 15, the positioning rod 13 is inserted into the positioning hole 14 on the outside of the second light blocking sleeve 3 to complete the position fixation of the bottom cover 11. At this time, the optical coupler 1 can be stably supported when the bottom cover 11 is in contact with the PCB board.
