[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 The utility model provides an embodiment: a novel optical fiber connector assembly, including a connector housing 1, the connector housing 1 is a prior art, and the optical fiber can be installed and connected through the ceramic ferrule 13 inside the connector housing 1 by setting the connector housing 1, and a mounting mechanism is arranged on the right side of the connector housing 1, and the mounting mechanism includes an upper cover 2 and a lower cover 3, and the inner diameter of the cavity formed by the upper cover 2 and the lower cover 3 matches the outer diameter of the connector housing 1, and the upper cover 2 and the lower cover 3 are arranged on the right side of the connector housing 1, and a connecting mechanism is arranged inside the connector housing 1, and the connecting mechanism includes a pin shaft 7 arranged in a horizontal state, and the pin shaft 7 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the connector housing 1, and a limiting plate 8 for limiting and connecting is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the pin shaft 7 to ensure that it will not fall off after installation, and the limiting plate 8 is elastically connected to the inner wall of the connector housing 1 through a torsion spring 9, and the torsion spring 9 is arranged to make the left side of the limiting plate 8 fit with the inner wall of the upper cover 2 and the lower cover 3.

[0031] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 The connection mechanism also includes a limit block 10 with a rectangular cross-section. The limit block 10 is fixedly installed on the inner walls of the upper cover 2 and the lower cover 3. The number of the limit blocks 10 is set to two groups. The connection mechanism also includes a control panel 11 for facilitating the user to move left and right, which is convenient and labor-saving. The number of the control panels 11 is set to two groups. A moving plate 12 is fixedly connected to one side of the two groups of control panels 11 close to each other. The moving plate 12 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the connector housing 1. The sliding direction of the moving plate 12 is left and right sliding. The right side of the moving plate 12 is in contact with the surface of the limit plate 8.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 4 The mounting mechanism also includes a fixing block 4 with a rectangular cross section, which is fixedly mounted on the top of the lower cover 3. The number of fixing blocks 4 is set to two groups, and the two groups of fixing blocks 4 are fixedly connected with a protrusion 5 with a triangular cross section on one side away from each other. The mounting mechanism also includes a groove 6 matching the protrusion 5. Through the cooperation of the protrusion 5 and the groove 6, the upper cover 2 and the lower cover 3 are not easy to fall off, and can only be disassembled by moving the upper cover 2 and the lower cover 3 left and right, thereby improving the stability of the installation. The groove 6 is opened on the inner wall of the upper cover 2, and the number of the groove 6 is equal to the number of the protrusion 5.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 A ceramic ferrule 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connector housing 1. A through hole is provided inside the ceramic ferrule 13 for facilitating the laying of optical fibers. This is a prior art and can be easily implemented by persons skilled in the art, so no further description is given. An anti-skid groove 14 is provided on the top of the connector housing 1 to increase the friction with the hand and facilitate the connection and installation of the optical fiber. The number of the anti-skid grooves 14 is set to be multiple, and the multiple anti-skid grooves 14 are arranged in a straight line and at equal intervals on the top of the connector housing 1.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 The upper and lower sides of the connector housing 1 are fixedly connected with a positioning block 15 with a rectangular cross-section. The left sides of the upper cover 2 and the lower cover 3 are both provided with a positioning groove matching the positioning block 15. The outer wall of the positioning block 15 fits with the inner wall of the positioning groove to improve the accuracy of positioning and installation.

[0035] Working principle: When in use, align the upper cover 2 and the lower cover 3, and then insert the protrusion 5 on the top of the lower cover 3 into the inside of the groove 6, so that the upper cover 2 and the lower cover 3 become a whole. The cooperation of the protrusion 5 and the groove 6 improves the installation stability of the upper cover 2 and the lower cover 3, ensuring the overall stability of the optical fiber connection.

[0036] Then insert the connector housing 1 to the right between the upper cover 2 and the lower cover 3. When the connector housing 1 moves to the right, the limit plate 8 will be squeezed by the limit block 10, so that the limit plate 8 can rotate to overcome the elastic force of the torsion spring 9. Therefore, the limit plate 8 will not hinder the movement of the connector housing 1. When the limit plate 8 passes over the limit block 10, the limit plate 8 will be reset under the action of the torsion spring 9, so that the left side of the limit plate 8 contacts the right side of the limit block 10, thereby clamping the connector housing 1 between the upper cover 2 and the lower cover 3, completing the connection of the optical fiber connector.

[0037] When the connector housing 1 needs to be disassembled, the control plate 11 is moved to the right, driving the movable plate 12 to move to the right. At this time, the movable plate 12 will squeeze the limit plate 8, causing the limit plate 8 to rotate. At this time, the limit plate 8 no longer acts as an obstacle, and the disassembly work can be completed by moving the connector housing 1 to the left.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
