Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of semiconductor optical amplifier installation, in particular to a position adjusting mechanism based on a semiconductor optical amplifier. Background Art

[0002] Based on a semiconductor optical amplifier, abbreviated as SOA, it generally refers to a mechanical or electronic device used to adjust the position of the SOA in an optical fiber communication system or a photonic integrated chip to optimize its performance. The SOA is an important optical passive device that can directly amplify optical signals without optical-electrical conversion. In practical applications, to achieve the best working state, it may be necessary to finely adjust the position of the SOA according to different working environments and requirements.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN220830183U, published on April 23, 2024, discloses a semiconductor optical amplifier connection structure, including a mounting base and an amplifier, and further including: two connecting plates fixed to both sides of the amplifier; a limiting structure disposed inside the mounting base and connected to one of the connecting plates; and two connecting structures disposed inside the mounting base and connected to the other connecting plate.

[0004] For example, most of the existing semiconductor optical amplifier-based ones are externally provided with a detachable mounting base. After connecting the mounting base to the external housing, the semiconductor amplifier can be separated independently later. In the specific implementation process, the installation of the mounting base and the external housing needs to be based on the through holes on the mounting base and the screw holes on the external housing. Although the fixation of the mounting base can be achieved, the relative position between the semiconductor optical amplifier and the external housing is completely limited, and it is difficult to finely adjust the position of the semiconductor optical amplifier later. Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose a corresponding position adjusting mechanism based on the semiconductor optical amplifier to solve the above problems. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to propose a position adjusting mechanism based on a semiconductor optical amplifier to solve the above problems.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme:

[0007] A position adjusting mechanism based on a semiconductor optical amplifier includes a mounting base, a side seat, and a connecting piece fixedly connected to the semiconductor amplifier. The mounting base is fixedly connected to the side seat. The side seat is vertically penetrated with a transverse groove. The outer surface of the connecting piece is engaged with the inner surface of the side seat through a combining groove. A card slot is opened at the top of the mounting base. A limiting seat and a limiting component for restricting the position of the limiting seat are integrated inside the side seat. The outer surface of the limiting seat is slidably connected to the inner surface of the side seat through an accommodating groove.

[0008] Preferably, the limiting component includes a moving seat and an elastic part for horizontally telescoping the limiting seat. The outer surface of the moving seat is slidably connected to the inner surface of the side seat through a receiving groove, and the moving seat is rotatably connected to the limiting seat through a rotating shaft.

[0009] Preferably, the elastic part includes a tab fixedly connected to the limiting seat, and a spring is fixedly connected between the tab and the inner surface of the side seat.

[0010] Preferably, the tab is integrally formed with the limiting seat, and a U-shaped pull ring is fixedly connected to one side of the moving seat away from the rotating shaft.

[0011] Preferably, multiple groups of transverse grooves are provided, and the multiple groups of transverse grooves are distributed in a rectangular shape.

[0012] Preferably, multiple heat dissipation fins are fixedly connected to the inner surface of the top of the mounting seat.

[0013] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solutions, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. In this application, the connecting piece is fixedly connected to the horizontal outer surface of the semiconductor optical amplifier. When the semiconductor optical amplifier is combined into the card slot, the connecting piece will be combined into the combining groove, and the limiting seat restricts the position of the connecting piece, thereby realizing the fixation of the semiconductor optical amplifier and the mounting seat. After aligning multiple groups of transverse grooves with the screw holes on the external housing, within the range where the transverse grooves and the screw holes intersect, the position of the mounting seat can be horizontally adjusted as needed until the semiconductor optical amplifier reaches the appropriate position. Then, the external fastening rod is passed through the transverse groove and screwed with the corresponding screw hole, thereby realizing the fixation of the mounting seat. This not only ensures the installation of the semiconductor optical amplifier but also enables convenient fine-tuning of the position of the semiconductor optical amplifier. Moreover, by combining or separating the connecting piece with the limiting seat, the independent disassembly and assembly of the semiconductor optical amplifier can be realized.

[0015] 2. In this application, pull the moving seat to disengage it from the receiving groove. The moving seat drives the limiting seat, and the spring is stretched. Then, rotate the moving seat by 90 degrees so that it overlaps on the outer surface of the side seat. At this time, the limiting seat remains in a state of disengaging from the connecting piece, and the semiconductor optical amplifier can be separated. Similarly, axially reset the moving seat, the spring drives the limiting seat to reset, the limiting seat pulls the moving seat to re-combine into the receiving groove, and the moving seat re-combines to the top of the connecting piece, thereby realizing the positioning of the semiconductor optical amplifier and the mounting seat. By locking the state of the limiting seat, the convenience of disassembling the semiconductor optical amplifier and the mounting seat is ensured. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , the present utility model provides a technical solution:

[0024] A position adjustment mechanism based on a semiconductor optical amplifier, including a mounting seat 1, a side seat 4, and a connecting piece 7 fixedly connected to the semiconductor amplifier. The mounting seat 1 is fixedly connected to the side seat 4. A horizontal groove 6 is vertically penetrated through the side seat 4. The outer surface wall of the connecting piece 7 is engaged with the inner surface wall of the side seat 4 through a combining groove 8. A card slot 2 is opened at the top of the mounting seat 1. The inside of the side seat 4 integrates a limit seat 5 and a limit component for restricting the position of the limit seat 5. The outer surface wall of the limit seat 5 is slidably connected to the inner surface wall of the side seat 4 through a receiving groove 13;

[0025] The connecting piece 7 is fixed to the horizontal outer wall of the semiconductor optical amplifier. When the semiconductor optical amplifier is combined into the card slot 2, the connecting piece 7 will be combined into the combining slot 8. The limit seat 5 limits the position of the connecting piece 7, thereby realizing the fixation of the semiconductor optical amplifier and the mounting seat 1. After aligning the multiple groups of transverse grooves 6 with the screw holes on the external shell, the position of the mounting seat 1 can be adjusted horizontally according to needs within the interlaced range of the transverse grooves 6 and the screw holes until the semiconductor optical amplifier reaches a suitable position. Then, the external fastening rod is passed through the transverse grooves 6 and screwed into the corresponding screw holes, thereby realizing the fixation of the mounting seat 1. In this way, the installation of the semiconductor optical amplifier is ensured, and the position of the semiconductor optical amplifier can be fine-tuned conveniently. By combining or separating the connecting piece 7 through the limit seat 5, the semiconductor optical amplifier can be independently disassembled and assembled.

[0026] Specifically, Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the limiting assembly includes a moving seat 9 and an elastic part for horizontal extension and contraction of the limiting seat 5. The outer wall of the moving seat 9 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the side seat 4 through the accommodating groove 13. The moving seat 9 is rotatably connected to the limiting seat 5 through the rotating shaft 10. The elastic part includes a protruding piece 11 fixedly connected to the limiting seat 5. A spring 12 is fixedly connected between the protruding piece 11 and the inner wall of the side seat 4. The moving seat 9 is pulled to disengage from the accommodating groove 13. The moving seat 9 is linked to the limiting seat 5, and the spring 12 is stretched. Then the moving seat 9 is rotated ninety degrees to overlap the outer wall of the side seat 4. At this time, the limiting seat 5 remains in a state of being separated from the connecting piece 7. At this time, the semiconductor optical amplifier can be separated. Similarly, the moving seat 9 is axially reset, and the spring 12 drives the limiting seat 5 to reset. The limiting seat 5 pulls the moving seat 9 to re-combine with the accommodating groove 13, and the moving seat 9 is re-combined with the top of the connecting piece 7, so as to realize the positioning of the semiconductor optical amplifier and the mounting seat 1. By locking the state of the limiting seat 5, the convenience of separating the semiconductor optical amplifier and the mounting seat 1 is guaranteed.

[0027] Specifically, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the protruding piece 11 and the limiting seat 5 are integrally formed to ensure the structural strength between the protruding piece 11 and the limiting seat 5, and a U-shaped pull ring is fixedly connected to the side of the movable seat 9 away from the rotating shaft 10, so as to facilitate the operator to pull the movable seat 9, and multiple groups of transverse grooves 6 are provided, and the multiple groups of transverse grooves 6 are distributed in a rectangular shape, so as to further ensure the stability of the connection between the mounting seat 1 and the external shell, and multiple groups of heat sinks 3 are fixedly connected to the inner surface wall at the top of the mounting seat 1. After the semiconductor optical amplifier is combined with the card slot 2, the bottom of the semiconductor optical amplifier will abut against the top of the multiple groups of heat sinks 3, so as to ensure the stability of the position of the semiconductor optical amplifier while improving the heat dissipation effect of the semiconductor optical amplifier.

[0028] Working principle: The connecting piece 7 is fixed to the horizontal outer wall of the semiconductor optical amplifier. When the semiconductor optical amplifier is combined into the card slot 2, the connecting piece 7 will be combined into the combining slot 8. The limit seat 5 limits the position of the connecting piece 7, so as to realize the fixation of the semiconductor optical amplifier and the mounting seat 1. After aligning the multiple groups of transverse grooves 6 with the screw holes on the external shell, the position of the mounting seat 1 can be adjusted horizontally according to the needs within the staggered range of the transverse grooves 6 and the screw holes until the semiconductor optical amplifier reaches the appropriate position. Then, the external fastening rod is passed through the transverse grooves 6 and screwed into the corresponding screw holes, so as to realize the fixation of the mounting seat 1. In this way, the installation of the semiconductor optical amplifier is ensured, and the position of the semiconductor optical amplifier can be conveniently fine-tuned, and the limit The seat 5 is combined with or separated from the connecting piece 7 to realize the independent disassembly and assembly of the semiconductor optical amplifier. The movable seat 9 is pulled to disengage it from the receiving groove 13. The movable seat 9 is linked to the limiting seat 5, and the spring 12 is stretched. Then the movable seat 9 is rotated ninety degrees to overlap the outer wall of the side seat 4. At this time, the limiting seat 5 remains in a state of being separated from the connecting piece 7. At this time, the semiconductor optical amplifier can be separated. Similarly, the movable seat 9 is axially reset, and the spring 12 drives the limiting seat 5 to reset. The limiting seat 5 pulls the movable seat 9 to re-engage with the receiving groove 13, and the movable seat 9 is re-engaged with the top of the connecting piece 7, so as to realize the positioning of the semiconductor optical amplifier and the mounting seat 1. By locking the state of the limiting seat 5, the convenience of disassembling the semiconductor optical amplifier and the mounting seat 1 is guaranteed.
