Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of the mating components of fiber optic connectors, and particularly relates to a panel for fixing fiber optic connectors. Background Art

[0002] Since the shrapnel structures of different LC-type interfaces on the market are different, resulting in different distances between the shrapnel and the limiting ears, materials with different thicknesses are used to make the panel with holes, and the thickness of the material itself is used to adapt to the distance between the shrapnel and the limiting ears. However, these panels cannot install fiber optic connectors of different models at the same time.

[0003] In order to save material costs, a panel made of a material with the same thickness and capable of installing fiber optic connectors of different models at the same time is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, the utility model designs a panel with a stamping boss structure. The panel contains multiple rows of hole units, and the protruding degrees of the stamping bosses of different rows of hole units are different, so as to realize the adaptation and installation of fiber optic connectors of different models. Only one piece of material with the same thickness is needed to make this panel.

[0005] The specific technical solution adopted is: a panel for fixing fiber optic connectors, the panel is provided with more than two rows of hole units, each row of hole units has multiple holes for inserting fiber optic connectors, there is a connecting part between every two adjacent holes, and a stamping boss protruding towards the inner side of the panel is arranged in the middle of the connecting part; the protruding heights of the stamping bosses located in different rows of hole units are different;

[0006] The fiber optic connector at least includes a connector inserted into the hole, a shrapnel located on the side of the front part of the connector, and a limiting ear located on the side of the rear part of the connector. The limiting ear protrudes outward relative to the side surface of the connector, the front end of the shrapnel is integrally connected with the connector, and the rear end of the shrapnel protrudes outward relative to the side surface of the connector; the protruding degree of the limiting ear is less than the width of the connecting part between the holes, and the protruding degree of the shrapnel is less than the width of the stamping boss.

[0007] Moreover, the fiber optic connector is of LC-type interface.

[0008] Moreover, the stamping boss is formed by stamping the middle part of the connecting part towards the inner side of the panel, and the height of the stamping boss is less than the height of the hole.

[0009] Moreover, the protruding height range of the stamping boss is 0.5 mm to 2.0 mm, and the panel has at least one row of hole units with the protruding height of the stamping boss being 0.5 mm and one row of hole units with the protruding height of the stamping boss being 2.0 mm.

[0010] Moreover, the protruding height of the stamping boss is equal to the distance between the limiting ear of the fiber optic connector and the rear end of the elastic piece.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present technical solution are as follows:

[0012] 1. There are connection parts and stamping bosses protruding towards the inner side of the panel between every two adjacent holes. When the limiting ear abuts against the connection part, the fiber optic connector cannot be inserted into the hole any further, and the rear end of the elastic piece abuts against the stamping boss to prevent the fiber optic connector from being pulled out of the hole. The two structures cooperate to jointly limit the position of the fiber optic connector.

[0013] 2. The panel is provided with more than two rows of hole units, and the protruding heights of the stamping bosses located in different rows of hole units are different, so it can be adapted to install fiber optic connectors of different models.

[0014] 3. The different protruding degrees of the stamping bosses are formed by stamping. Only a piece of material with the same thickness is required to manufacture the panel, rather than using the thickness of the panel material itself, so the cost is saved. Description of the Drawings

[0019] Panel 1, front side 2 of the panel, hole unit 3, hole 4, connection part 5, stamping boss 6, joint 7, elastic piece 8, limiting ear 9, fiber optic connector 10. Detailed Embodiment

[0020] The present utility model will be described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments. The content of the present utility model is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0021] A panel for fixing a fiber optic connector, as Figure 1 shown, the panel 1 is an overall box-shaped frame structure. The front side 2 of the panel is provided with more than two rows of hole units 3. Each row of hole units has a plurality of holes 4 for inserting the fiber optic connector. There are connection parts 5 between every two adjacent holes. The connection part is essentially a part of the panel. The middle of the connection part has a stamping boss 6 protruding towards the inner side of the panel. The protruding degrees of the stamping bosses located in different rows of hole units are different; the stamping boss is formed by stamping the middle of the connection part towards the inner side of the panel, and the height of the stamping boss is less than the height of the hole.

[0022] As Figure 2 shown, the fiber optic connector 10 at least includes a ferrule 7 inserted into a hole, a spring piece 8 located on the front side of the ferrule, and a limiting ear 9 located on the rear side of the ferrule. The limiting ear protrudes outward relative to the side of the ferrule. The front end of the spring piece is integrally connected with the ferrule, and the rear end of the spring piece protrudes outward relative to the side of the ferrule. The protruding degree of the limiting ear is less than the width of the connecting part between the holes, and the protruding degree of the spring piece is less than the width of the stamping boss.

[0023] When the fiber optic connector is inserted into the panel as Figure 3 shown, insert the fiber optic connector 10 into the hole of the panel from the front until the limiting ear 9 of the fiber optic connector abuts against the connecting part 5 on the front of the panel. At this time, the spring piece 8 of the fiber optic connector just pops out and abuts against the stamping boss 6 protruding inward from the panel. The two structures cooperate to jointly limit and fix the position of the fiber optic connector.

[0024] The protruding height of the stamping boss 6 is adapted according to the distance between the limiting ear of the fiber optic connector and the spring piece of the fiber optic connector. It is necessary to make the protruding height of the stamping boss equal to the distance between the limiting ear of the fiber optic connector and the rear end of the spring piece. Since the minimum distance between the limiting ear and the rear end of the spring piece of the common model fiber optic connector is 0.5mm and the maximum is 2.0mm, the protruding height range of the stamping boss is 0.5mm to 2.0mm, and the panel has at least one row of hole units with a stamping boss protruding height of 0.5mm and one row of hole units with a stamping boss protruding height of 2.0mm.

[0025] Moreover, the fiber optic connector is of LC type interface. The hole is rectangular.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present technical solution are as follows:

[0027] 1. There is a connecting part and a stamping boss protruding inward from the panel between every two adjacent holes. When the limiting ear abuts against the connecting part, the fiber optic connector cannot be inserted into the hole any further, and the rear end of the spring piece abuts against the stamping boss to prevent the fiber optic connector from being pulled out of the hole. The two structures cooperate to jointly limit the position of the fiber optic connector;

[0028] 2. There are more than two rows of hole units on the front of the panel. The protruding degrees of the stamping bosses located in different rows of hole units are different, so different models of fiber optic connectors can be adaptively installed;

[0029] 3. The different protruding degrees of the stamping bosses are formed by stamping. Only a piece of material with the same thickness is required to manufacture the panel, rather than using the thickness of the panel material itself, so the cost is saved.
