Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of communication equipment, in particular to an optical fiber connector. Background Art

[0002] In the application scenario of fiber to the home, it is often necessary to penetrate a wall / protective tube. In this case, a traction cap is usually set at the head end of the fiber optic connector body. After the traction rope and the traction cap are fixed, the fiber optic connector is pulled from one end of the traction channel to the other end by pulling the traction rope to achieve the penetration of the fiber optic connector through the wall / protective tube (such as Figure 1 As shown). Depending on the building environment, the traction channel may be a linear traction channel or a non-linear traction channel. In some non-linear traction channels, the bending angle of the traction channel limits the size of the optical fiber connector body that needs to pass through the traction channel; especially when the size of the outdoor optical fiber connector body is large, it may not be able to pass through some non-linear traction channels smoothly. In addition, if a protective tube is required, due to space limitations, the inner diameter of the protective tube may be relatively small, which also causes the situation that wiring cannot be smoothly performed.

[0003] Therefore, how to reduce the size of the part of the outdoor optical fiber connector that passes through the traction channel, improve the adaptability of the outdoor optical fiber connector when passing through the wall / protective tube, and ensure the connection accuracy of the optical fiber connector has become an urgent problem to be solved.

[0040] Furthermore, in order to provide a concise description of the exemplary embodiments, not all features of the actual embodiments (i.e., those features that are not relevant to the currently considered best mode for carrying out the present invention, or those features that are not relevant to the implementation of the present invention) may be described. Moreover, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below may be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 2-Figure 5 , is a schematic diagram of the structure of the optical fiber connector provided by the embodiment of the utility model. The optical fiber connector comprises a ferrule assembly 100, a first fixing shell 200, a second fixing shell 300 and a tail sleeve 400.

[0042] The ferrule assembly 100 includes a ferrule 110 therein, and the ferrule 110 is connected to the optical cable 600 .

[0043] Figure 4 FIG. 2 shows a structure of a ferrule assembly 100 that can be used in the specific implementation of this embodiment. Figure 4As shown, the ferrule assembly 100 may include a ferrule 110, a ferrule fixing seat 120, a spring 130 and a mounting seat 140. The mounting seat 140 is a through-tube body, and its first end port is narrowed, and its inner wall near the first end has an abutting shoulder. The ferrule 110 is fixed on the ferrule fixing seat 120. The ferrule fixing seat 120 includes a first section and a second section, and the diameter of the first section is smaller than the diameter of the second section, so as to form a fixed shoulder between the first section and the second section, so that when the second section of the ferrule fixing seat 120 is placed in the mounting seat 140, the second section of the ferrule fixing seat 120 is received in the mounting seat 140 by the first end port of the mounting seat 140, and the optical fiber in the optical cable 600 is passed through the mounting seat 140 from the second end port of the mounting seat 140 and connected to the ferrule 110. One end of the spring 130 abuts against the ferrule fixing seat 120, and the other end abuts against the abutting shoulder in the mounting seat 140, so that the ferrule 110 can move axially relative to the mounting seat 140 to prevent the optical fiber connected to the ferrule 110 from breaking due to pulling.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 The first end of the first fixing shell 200 is provided with a first fixing structure 210, and the ferrule assembly 100 is provided with a third fixing structure 150 corresponding to the first fixing structure 210. When the first fixing shell 200 is connected to the ferrule assembly 100 through the first fixing structure 210 and the third fixing structure 150, the first fixing shell 200 is disposed outside the ferrule assembly 100.

[0045] Those skilled in the art should understand that the third fixing structure 150 is disposed on the peripheral component of the ferrule assembly 100. Taking the specific structure of the ferrule assembly 100 as an example, the third fixing structure 150 is disposed on the mounting seat 140, and similarly, the guide block 160 described below is also disposed on the mounting seat 140.

[0046] As an optional specific implementation of the present embodiment, in order to improve the connection convenience between the first fixed shell 200 and the core assembly 100, a snap-on connection between the first fixed shell 200 and the core assembly 100 can be set, that is, the first fixed structure 210 and the third fixed structure 150 can be set as two corresponding snap-on structures.

[0047] In a specific implementation, the first fixing structure 210 can be set as a claw 211 , and the third fixing structure 150 can be set as a corresponding buckling step 151 .

[0048] In a specific implementation, two opposite claws 211 may be provided on the first fixing shell 200 , and correspondingly, two opposite buckling steps 151 may be provided on the ferrule assembly 100 .

[0049] As an optional specific implementation of this embodiment, in order to improve the convenience of alignment between the first fixing structure 210 and the second fixing structure 220, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, a guide block 160 may be provided on the ferrule assembly 100, and a guide groove 230 extending axially is correspondingly provided on the inner wall of the first fixing shell 200. When the guide block 160 is embedded in the guide groove 230, the first fixing structure 210 and the third fixing structure 150 are aligned axially.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 2-Figure 4 , the second end of the first fixing shell 200 is provided with a second fixing structure 220, and the first end of the second fixing shell 300 is provided with a fourth fixing structure 310 corresponding to the second fixing structure 220. When the second fixing shell 300 is connected to the first fixing shell 200 through the second fixing structure 220 and the fourth fixing structure 310, the second fixing shell 300 is disposed outside the optical cable 600. The tail sleeve 400 is connected to the second end of the second fixing shell 300 to fasten the second end of the second fixing shell 300 to the optical cable 600.

[0051] In order to improve the connection convenience between the second fixing shell 300 and the first fixing shell 200, the second fixing shell 300 and the first fixing shell 200 can be provided with a snap connection, that is, the second fixing structure 220 and the fourth fixing structure 310 can be provided as two corresponding snap structures.

[0052] In a specific implementation, in order to facilitate the buckling between the second fixing structure 220 and the fourth fixing structure 310, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first end of the second fixed shell 300 may be provided with at least one fixed tooth 320, and the fourth fixed structure 310 is provided on the fixed tooth 320. At this time, the first end of the second fixed shell 300 has a certain opening amount based on the tooth groove 330 corresponding to the fixed tooth 320, which is convenient for buckling.

[0053] Those skilled in the art should understand that when there is only one fixed tooth 320 , in order to ensure the strength of the fixed tooth 320 , the circumferential width of the fixed tooth 320 should be larger, while the circumferential width of the tooth groove 330 corresponding to the fixed tooth 320 should be smaller.

[0054] In a specific implementation, in order to improve the convenience of aligning the second fixing structure 220 and the fourth fixing structure 310, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, an alignment protrusion 240 corresponding to the tooth groove 330 may be provided on the first fixed shell 200 . When the alignment protrusion 240 is embedded in the tooth groove 330 , the second fixing structure 220 and the fourth fixing structure 310 are aligned along the axial direction.

[0055] In a specific implementation, when there are two fixing teeth 320 , the two fixing teeth 320 are evenly arranged, and only one alignment protrusion 240 needs to be arranged on the first fixing shell 200 .

[0056] During specific implementation, the fourth fixing structure 310 may be configured as a fixing groove 311 , and the second fixing structure 220 may be configured as a fixing block 221 corresponding to the fixing groove 311 .

[0057] In specific implementation, in order to improve the stability of the overall structure of the optical fiber connector, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first fixed step surface of the buckling step 151 and the second fixed step surface of the fixing block 221 can be arranged to face opposite directions, so that the movement of the first fixed shell 200 in two axial directions is limited by the first fixed step surface and the second fixed step surface respectively.

[0058] In a specific implementation, in order to facilitate the first fixing shell 200 to be smoothly inserted from the end of the ferrule assembly 100 (the end of the ferrule 110) to the outside of the ferrule assembly 100, the surface of the buckling step 151 facing the end of the ferrule assembly 100 can be set as a slope surface. Correspondingly, the first fixing step surface is the surface of the buckling step 151 away from the end of the ferrule assembly 100.

[0059] In a specific implementation, when the first fixed step surface is the surface of the buckling step 151 away from the end of the ferrule assembly 100, the second fixed step surface is correspondingly the surface of the clamping block 221 facing the end of the ferrule assembly 100. At this time, in order to facilitate the buckling connection of the second fixing shell 300 to the first fixing shell 200, the surface of the clamping block 221 away from the end of the ferrule assembly 100 can be set as a slope surface.

[0060] As an optional specific implementation of this embodiment, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a plurality of fastening teeth 340 are provided at the second end of the second fixed shell 300, a tapered hole section 410 is provided in the tail sleeve 400, and the aperture of the tapered hole section 410 gradually decreases in the process of moving away from the sleeve interface of the tail sleeve 400, so that when the tail sleeve 400 is sleeved on the second fixed shell 300, the fastening strength of the second fixed shell 300 to the optical cable 600 gradually increases with the increase of the sleeve length (the sleeve length between the tail sleeve 400 and the second fixed shell 300).

[0061] In a specific implementation, in order to improve the convenience of adjusting the sleeve length between the tail sleeve 400 and the second fixed shell 300, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, the second fixing shell 300 and the tail sleeve 400 may be threadedly connected. In this case, the sleeve length can be adjusted by screwing the tail sleeve 400.

[0062] As an optional specific implementation of this embodiment, in order to improve the sealing between the second fixing shell 300 and the optical cable 600 and further improve the pulling resistance between the optical cable 600 and the second fixing shell 300, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, the optical fiber connector in this embodiment may further include a sealing ring 500, which is sleeved on the optical cable 600. When the second fixing shell 300 is connected to the first fixing shell 200, the sealing ring 500 is located between the fastening teeth 340 and the optical cable 600. The sealing ring 500 can seal the optical cable 600 and also improve the tensile strength of the optical fiber connector.

[0063] The optical fiber connector in this embodiment, when performing through-wall traction, the pulled component is the ferrule assembly 100; in specific implementation, the connection between the ferrule assembly 100 and the traction cap (which has a traction hole suitable for connecting to a traction rope) can be a snap connection; when the traction cap is a soft cap made of rubber or other materials, the traction cap can also be directly clamped on the ferrule assembly 100.

[0064] As an optional specific implementation of this embodiment, as shown in the figure, the head end of the ferrule assembly 100 can be provided with an external thread, and the dust cap can be connected to the head end of the ferrule assembly 100 based on the external thread. When the dust cap is connected to the head end of the ferrule assembly 100, it is enclosed outside the ferrule 110 to protect the ferrule 110. The dust cap is also suitable for connecting with a traction rope to pull the ferrule assembly 100. Specifically, still taking the specific structure of the ferrule assembly 100 as the aforementioned structure as an example, the external thread is also provided on the mounting seat 140.

[0065] The assembly process of the optical fiber connector in this embodiment is as follows:

[0066] First, the ferrule assembly 100 is sequentially passed through the tail sleeve 400, the sealing ring 500 and the second fixed shell 300 (at this time, the tail sleeve 400, the sealing ring 500 and the second fixed shell 300 are all sleeved on the optical cable 600), and then the ferrule assembly 100 is sleeved into the first fixed shell 200 from the second end of the first fixed shell 200 until the first fixed structure 210 and the third fixed structure 150 are connected (for example, the claw 211 and the buckle step 151 are buckled); then the second fixed shell 300 sleeved on the optical cable 600 is pushed toward the first fixed shell 200 until the second fixed structure 220 and the fourth fixed structure 310 are connected (for example, the clamping block 221 and the clamping groove 311 are buckled); then the tail sleeve 400 is connected to the second fixed shell 300. (No description about 500 is missing, 500 plays the role of sealing and enhancing tension)

[0067] In summary, the optical fiber connector in this embodiment, by arranging the core assembly 100 and the outer shell (that is, the first fixed shell 200, the second fixed shell 300 and the tail sleeve 400) as an assembly, that is, by arranging the optical fiber connector as a split structure, it is only necessary to pass the core assembly 100 through the traction channel when passing through the wall, thereby reducing the axial size of the part of the optical fiber connector passing through the traction channel, thereby enabling it to pass through a thinner traction channel with a smaller bending angle, and having better adaptability to wall / protective tubes.

[0068] At the same time, by setting the first fixed shell 200 to be connected to the ferrule assembly 100 through the first fixed structure 210 and the third fixed structure 150, the assembly accuracy between the first fixed shell 200 and the ferrule assembly 100 and the structural stability after assembly can be guaranteed. At the same time, by setting the first fixed shell 200 to be fixed on the ferrule assembly 100 so that the ferrule assembly 100 is enclosed therein, the subsequent assembly of the second fixed structure 220 and the fourth fixed structure 310, and the assembly of the tail sleeve 400 connected to the second end of the second fixed shell 300 can prevent the ferrule assembly 100 from being disturbed; by setting the first end of the second fixed shell 300 to be connected to the corresponding The second fixing structure 220 and the fourth fixing structure 310 are connected to the first fixing shell 200, and the tail sleeve 400 is provided to be connected to the second end of the second fixing shell 300 to fasten the second end of the second fixing shell 300 to the optical cable 600, which can improve the connection stability between the optical cable 600 and the ferrule assembly 100, and can also improve the stability of the first fixing shell 200 based on the fixation of the second fixing shell 300 again; thereby, the assembly accuracy between the ferrule assembly 100, the first fixing shell 200 body, the second fixing shell 300 body and the optical cable 600 and the structural stability after the overall assembly are finally improved, the assembly and correction time is shortened, and the assembly efficiency is improved.

[0069] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the invention of the utility model.
