Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of production and processing of optical fiber connectors, in particular to a potting bracket for a waterproof optical fiber connector. Background Art
[0002] The back of the plug of the waterproof optical fiber connector is connected with an optical fiber cable. When a dynamic device (or equipment) moving at a high speed moves, the initial acceleration of the high-speed movement causes the plug of the optical fiber connector and the optical fiber cable to bear a strong pulling force. When the tensile strength between the plug of the optical fiber connector and the optical fiber cable is insufficient, loosening or detachment is likely to occur between the plug of the optical fiber connector and the optical fiber cable, leading to damage to the plug of the optical fiber connector, thereby affecting the performance of the entire system. When the optical fiber cable is potted and assembled onto the connector plug, it is necessary to maintain the concentricity between the optical fiber cable and the connector plug in order to make the force between the optical fiber cable and the connector plug uniform and reduce the loosening of the optical fiber cable after being pulled. Therefore, a potting bracket for a waterproof optical fiber connector is needed. Summary of the Utility Model
[0003] In view of the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art, the purpose of the present utility model is to provide a potting bracket for a waterproof optical fiber connector, which is used to solve the problem of maintaining concentricity when an optical fiber cable is potted and assembled onto a connector plug in the prior art.

[0015] To achieve the above technical solution, through the blocking piece slidably connected to the middle support beam, when the blocking piece slides to the upper side of the cable through groove, the cable clamping groove clamps the optical fiber cable to ensure the stability of the optical fiber cable during the potting process. After the potting is completed, pushing the blocking piece away from above the cable through groove can lower the non-potted part of the connector tail seat to participate in the assembly.
[0016] In an embodiment of the present invention, a limit sliding groove is arranged on the blocking piece, and a limit screw is arranged on the middle support beam. The limit screw passes through the limit sliding groove to limit the displacement of the blocking piece on the middle support beam.

[0036] By arranging the bottom frame 16, a number of holes are opened on the bottom frame 16 according to the dimensions corresponding to the waterproof fiber optic connector plug 2. The diameter of the opening is to ensure that the waterproof fiber optic connector plug 2 can be smoothly inserted into the hole, so that the waterproof fiber optic connector plug 2 can maintain a vertical state, thus facilitating the potting treatment of the optical fiber cable.
[0037] In order to keep the optical fiber cable in a straight state during the potting process, the cable clamping piece 4 hinged on the cable clamping frame 3 cooperates with the cable slot 5 to clamp the optical fiber cable tightly in a straight state in the cable slot 5.
