[0002] Fiber optic communication is a communication method that uses light waves as information carriers and optical fibers as transmission media. In the field of optical communication technology, devices such as connectors, optical modules, and optoelectronic hybrid adapters are usually involved.
[0003] An optoelectronic hybrid adapter is an adapter used in conjunction with an optoelectronic hybrid connector, which has conductive sheets for transmitting electrical energy on the optoelectronic hybrid connector. As a key component, the stability and reliability of the optoelectronic hybrid adapter are crucial. However, traditional optoelectronic hybrid adapters usually adopt plug-in or interference fit connection methods. When they are in a working environment with high vibration or large temperature changes, they are prone to looseness under long-term vibration or impact conditions, resulting in poor optical / electrical contact or even signal interruption, affecting communication stability. Moreover, traditional optoelectronic hybrid adapters mostly use cantilever elastic conductive sheets. After long-term vibration or plugging and unplugging, the conductive sheets are prone to deformation due to metal fatigue, resulting in attenuation of contact pressure or even complete failure.

The sleeve 3 is installed between the first connection shell 1 and the second connection shell 2 and is used to position and connect the fiber optic connectors at both ends. The ceramic tube 4 is installed inside the sleeve 3. The metal elastic pieces 5 are arranged in pairs and installed on the inner side wall of the second connection shell 2. The locking component 6 is arranged between the first connection shell 1 and the second connection shell 2. The unlocking component 7 is arranged on the top of the locking component 6. The elastic piece adjusting component 8 is arranged on the outer side wall of the second connection shell 2. The dust-proof component 9 is inserted at the ends of the first connection shell 1 and the second connection shell 2. In this embodiment, the shape of the first connection shell 1 is as Figure 4 shown. A T-shaped protrusion is provided on the end face of the first connection shell 1, and a corresponding T-shaped groove is opened on the end face of the second connection shell 2.

A semicircular pushing part 84 is integrally formed on the side wall of the connecting arm 83 close to the metal elastic piece 5. The lead screw 85 is rotatably connected to the outer side wall of the second connecting shell 2. The lead screw 85 passes through the slider 82 and is threadedly connected to the slider 82. A cross slot 86 is formed on the end face of the lead screw 85. In this embodiment, the installation positions of the slider 82 and the lead screw 85 are as Figure 7 shown, and the shape of the connecting arm 83 is as Figure 8As shown, by changing the position of the slider 82, the deformation amount of the metal elastic sheet 5 can be adjusted. By screwing the cross slot 86 with a tool, the lead screw 85 can be rotated. The cross slot 86 is a common structure in the prior art and can also be a flat slot or a hexagonal slot. When in use, rotate the lead screw 85 to drive the slider 82 to slide on the outer side wall of the second connection shell 2, and then the pushing portion 84 on the connecting arm 83 pushes the metal elastic sheet 5.
[0051] As Figure 2 shown, the dust-proof component 9 includes a first dust-proof cap 91 and a second dust-proof cap 92. The first dust-proof cap 91 is press-fitted at the end of the first connection shell 1, and the second dust-proof cap 92 is press-fitted at the end of the second connection shell 2. In this embodiment, the first dust-proof cap 91 and the second dust-proof cap 92 are detachable components, so they do not appear in Figures 3 - 8 . The first dust-proof cap 91 and the second dust-proof cap 92 are made of rubber material, which can prevent dust, foreign objects, etc. from entering the adapter, and prolong the service life of the adapter.
[0052] As Figure 2 shown, an elastic pin 11 for fixing is integrally formed on the outer side wall of the first connection shell 1; in this embodiment, by providing the elastic pin 11, it is more convenient and fast to install the optical and electrical hybrid adapter on other devices or structures, and it can be firmly fixed in the corresponding position, improving the stability and reliability of the adapter installation.

[0054] When connecting, first, insert the first connection shell 1 and the second connection shell 2;
[0055] Secondly, push the locking piece 65 into the lock hole 62. During this process, the locking elastic piece 66 will be compressed by the lock hole 62 to deform. When the locking piece 65 enters the predetermined position inside the locking seat 61, the locking elastic piece 66 will recover its deformation and be clamped in the card slot 63, so that the first connection shell 1 and the second connection shell 2 are fixed;
[0056] Finally, rotate the lead screw 85 to drive the slider 82 to slide on the outer side wall of the second connection shell 2, and then the pushing portion 84 on the connecting arm 83 pushes the metal elastic sheet 5.
[0057] When unlocking, press the unlocking pin 71. The unlocking pin 71 will press the locking elastic piece 66 to make it enter the locking piece 65, and then slide the locking piece 65 to make it exit the locking seat 61.
[0058] Although the present utility model has been described in detail above with general descriptions and specific embodiments, based on the present utility model, some modifications or improvements can be made, which are obvious to those skilled in the art.
