This patent document can only realize the plugging and unplugging actions of the optical path device and the optical fiber connector, and cannot arch the optical fiber of the light module FA upward. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] In order to solve the above technical problems, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a connector plugging and unplugging device for a light module FA.

[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] A connector plugging and unplugging device for a light module FA, which includes a base, a moving plate horizontally slidably connected to the base, a translation driver installed on the base and used to drive the moving plate to translate, an interface card board arranged at the front end of the moving plate in a lifting manner, a lifting driver installed on the moving plate and used to drive the interface card board to lift, a jaw mechanism located on the front side of the interface card board, a plugging and unplugging plate horizontally slidably connected to the moving plate and located on the rear side of the interface card board, a plugging and unplugging device detachably installed on the plugging and unplugging plate, and a plugging and unplugging driver installed on the moving plate and used to drive the plugging and unplugging plate to translate. The interface card board is used to clamp the connector of the light module FA, the jaw mechanism is used to clamp the substrate of the light module FA, and the plugging and unplugging device is used to insert or pull out the connector of the light module FA.

[0006] Further, the interface card board is provided with a clamping groove.

[0007] Further, the translation driver includes a translation cylinder installed on the base and a first T-shaped assembly head installed on the piston rod of the translation cylinder. The moving plate is provided with a first T-shaped groove, and the first T-shaped assembly head is clamped with the first T-shaped groove.

[0008] Further, the lifting driver includes a lifting cylinder installed on the moving plate and a second T-shaped assembly head installed on the piston rod of the lifting cylinder. The interface card board is provided with a second T-shaped groove, and the second T-shaped assembly head is clamped with the second T-shaped groove.

[0009] Further, the plug-in and unplug drive includes a plug-in and unplug cylinder installed on the moving plate and a third T-shaped assembly head installed on the piston rod of the plug-in and unplug cylinder. The plug-in and unplug plate is provided with a third T-shaped groove, and the third T-shaped assembly head is clamped with the third T-shaped groove.

[0010] Further, the interface card board is L-shaped. A limiting block is provided at the front end of the moving plate. The horizontal part of the interface card board is located below the limiting block, and the limiting block is used to abut against the horizontal part of the interface card board.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the present utility model: In practical applications, the base is installed on an external first manipulator, and the clamping jaw mechanism is installed on an external second manipulator. The clamping jaw mechanism clamps the substrate of the optical module FA. The lifting drive drives the interface card board to descend, so that the interface card board is clamped with the connector of the optical module FA. Then, the plug-in and unplug drive drives the plug-in and unplug plate and the plug-in and unplug device to move forward, so as to insert the plug-in and unplug device into the connector of the optical module FA after clamping. Then, the external first manipulator drives the base to move, and the external second manipulator drives the clamping jaw mechanism to move. The base and the clamping jaw mechanism move synchronously, so that the optical module FA moves above the circuit board, so that the substrate of the optical module FA is located at the coupling position of the circuit board. At this time, the translation drive drives the moving plate and the interface card board to move forward. The forward-moving interface card board drives the connector to move forward. Since the position of the substrate is fixed and the optical fiber is located above the circuit board, the optical fiber will arch upward as the connector moves forward, so that the contact area between the optical fiber and the circuit board is reduced, and the wear between the optical fiber and the circuit board is reduced. When the substrate of the optical module FA is coupled to the circuit board, the clamping jaw mechanism releases the substrate of the optical module FA. The external first manipulator drives the base and the interface card board with the connector to move toward the card slot at the tail end of the circuit board until the connector is clamped in the card slot, so that the optical fiber of the optical module FA on the circuit board remains in an upward-arching state. Finally, the plug-in and unplug drive drives the plug-in and unplug plate and the plug-in and unplug device to move backward until the plug-in and unplug device is pulled out of the connector. At this time, the external second manipulator drives the clamping jaw mechanism to reset, and the external first manipulator can drive the base to reset. When the base resets, the interface card board is separated from the connector. The present utility model can not only realize the plugging and unplugging of the optical module FA, but also arch the optical fiber of the optical module FA after coupling upward, reduce the contact area between the optical fiber of the optical module FA and the circuit board, and reduce wear.

[0016] For the convenience of those skilled in the art to understand, the following further explains the present utility model in combination with the embodiments and the accompanying drawings. The content mentioned in the implementation manners does not limit the present utility model.

[0017] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, a connector plugging and unplugging device for an optical module FA provided by the present utility model includes a base 1, a moving plate 2 horizontally and slidably connected to the base 1, a translation driver 3 installed on the base 1 and used to drive the moving plate 2 to translate, an interface card board 4 installed at the front end of the moving plate 2 in a lifting manner, a lifting driver 5 installed on the moving plate 2 and used to drive the interface card board 4 to lift, a claw mechanism 6 located on the front side of the interface card board 4, a plug-in board 7 horizontally and slidably connected to the moving plate 2 and located on the rear side of the interface card board 4, a plug-in device 8 detachably installed on the plug-in board 7, and a plug-in driver 9 installed on the moving plate 2 and used to drive the plug-in board 7 to translate. The interface card board 4 is used to clamp the connector 18 of the optical module FA, the claw mechanism 6 is used to clamp the substrate 20 of the optical module FA, and the plug-in device 8 is used to insert or pull out the connector 18 of the optical module FA; specifically, the optical module FA is composed of a substrate 20, an optical fiber 19, and a connector 18; in the normal state of the optical module FA, the substrate 20, the optical fiber 19, and the connector 18 are coaxially arranged.

[0018] In practical applications, the base 1 is installed on an external first manipulator, and the gripper mechanism 6 is installed on an external second manipulator. The gripper mechanism 6 holds the substrate 20 of the optical module FA. The lifting driver 5 drives the interface card board 4 to descend, so that the interface card board 4 is clamped with the connector 18 of the optical module FA. Then, the plugging and unplugging driver 9 drives the plugging and unplugging board 7 and the plugging and unplugging device 8 to move forward, so as to insert the plugging and unplugging device 8 into the connector 18 of the clamped optical module FA. Then, the external first manipulator drives the base 1 to move, and the external second manipulator drives the gripper mechanism 6 to move. The base 1 and the gripper mechanism 6 move synchronously, so that the optical module FA moves above the circuit board 21, so that the substrate 20 of the optical module FA is located at the coupling position of the circuit board 21. At this time, the translation driver 3 drives the moving plate 2 and the interface card board 4 to move forward. The forward-moving interface card board 4 drives the connector 18 to move forward. Since the position of the substrate 20 is fixed and the optical fiber 19 is located above the circuit board 21, the optical fiber 19 will arch upward as the connector 18 moves forward, so as to reduce the contact area between the optical fiber 19 and the circuit board 21 and reduce the wear between the optical fiber 19 and the circuit board 21. When the substrate 20 of the optical module FA is coupled to the circuit board 21, the gripper mechanism 6 releases the substrate 20 of the optical module FA. The external first manipulator drives the base 1 and the interface card board 4 clamped with the connector 18 to move towards the card slot at the tail end of the circuit board 21 until the connector 18 is clamped in the card slot, so that the optical fiber 19 of the optical module FA on the circuit board 21 remains in an upward-arching state. Finally, the plugging and unplugging driver 9 drives the plugging and unplugging board 7 and the plugging and unplugging device 8 to move backward until the plugging and unplugging device 8 is pulled out of the connector 18. At this time, the external second manipulator drives the gripper mechanism 6 to reset, and the external first manipulator can drive the base 1 to reset. When the base 1 resets, the interface card board 4 is separated from the connector 18. The utility model can not only realize the plugging and unplugging of the optical module FA, but also arch the optical fiber 19 of the coupled optical module FA upward, reduce the contact area between the optical fiber 19 of the optical module FA and the circuit board 21, and reduce wear.

The moving plate 2 is provided with a first T-shaped groove, and the first T-shaped assembly head 12 is clamped with the first T-shaped groove. This structural design facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the translation driver 3 and the moving plate 2.

[0021] In this embodiment, the lifting driver 5 includes a lifting cylinder 13 installed on the moving plate 2 and a second T-shaped assembly head 14 installed on the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 13. The interface card board 4 is provided with a second T-shaped groove, and the second T-shaped assembly head 14 is clamped with the second T-shaped groove. This structural design facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the lifting driver 5 and the interface card board 4.

[0022] In this embodiment, the plug-in and unplug drive 9 includes a plug-in and unplug cylinder 15 installed on the moving plate 2 and a third T-shaped assembly head 16 installed on the piston rod of the plug-in and unplug cylinder 15. The plug-in and unplug plate 7 is provided with a third T-shaped groove, and the third T-shaped assembly head 16 is snap-fitted with the third T-shaped groove. This structural design facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the plug-in and unplug drive 9 and the plug-in and unplug plate 7.

[0023] In this embodiment, the interface card board 4 is L-shaped. A limit block 17 is provided at the front end of the moving plate 2. The horizontal portion of the interface card board 4 is located below the limit block 17, and the limit block 17 is used to abut against the horizontal portion of the interface card board 4. The limit block 17 plays a role in limiting the highest position where the interface card board 4 rises.

[0025] The above embodiments are preferred implementation schemes of the present utility model. In addition, the present utility model can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious replacement without departing from the concept of the technical solution is within the protection scope of the present utility model.
