DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the utility model provides a waterproof mounting base for an optical module, including an optical module body 100, a socket 101 is provided at the rear end of the optical module body 100, a base assembly 200 is provided at the end of the optical module body 100, and the base assembly 200 includes a side plate 201, a cover plate 202 and a waterproof plug 203. The side plates 201 are provided on both sides of the cover plate 202, a movable part 400 is provided between the side plates 201 and the cover plate 202, and the waterproof plug 203 passes through the cover plate 202;

[0024] A limit member 300 is set between the base assembly 200 and the optical module body 100. The limit member 300 includes a limit block 301, a spring A302 and a mounting plate 303. The mounting plate 303 is set on both sides of the optical module body 100, and the spring A302 is fixed between the limit block 301 and the mounting plate 303.

[0025] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the side panel 201 and the cover plate 202 are U-shaped, and a waterproof hole 206 adapted to the waterproof plug 203 is opened on the surface of the cover plate 202. The waterproof plug 203 is threadedly matched with the waterproof hole 206. A sealing block 204 is fixed to the front end of the waterproof plug 203, and the waterproof hole 206 facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the waterproof plug 203.

[0026] In this embodiment, the sealing block 204 is made of rubber, and a waterproof rubber ring is fixed on the inner wall of the waterproof hole 206. Based on the material of the sealing block 204, it can be inserted into the socket 101 on the optical module body 100, can adapt to the socket 101, and provide waterproof protection for the socket 101. Based on the design of the waterproof hole 206, when the waterproof plug 203 is removed and inserted into the connecting device, the connection between the optical module and the connecting device is sealed.

[0027] In this embodiment, the movable part 400 includes a toggle block 401, a connecting sleeve 402, a guide column 403 and a spring B404. The toggle block 401 is arranged on the outside of the cover plate 202, the connecting sleeve 402 is fixed on the inside of the toggle block 401, the guide column 403 is arranged at the end of the side plate 201, and the spring B404 is arranged on the outside of the guide column 403.

[0028] In this embodiment, the connecting sleeve 402 is slidably connected to the guide column 403, and a movable groove 405 is provided inside the cover plate 202 and the side plate 201. The two ends of the spring B404 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the movable groove 405 and the toggle block 401 respectively. The movable groove 405 allows the spring B404, the connecting sleeve 402 and the guide column 403 to move on the cover plate 202 and the side plate 201.

[0029] In this embodiment, the mounting plate 303 is threadedly engaged with the optical module body 100, and the two ends of the spring A are fixedly connected to the mounting plate 303 and the limit block 301 respectively. The surface of the side plate 201 is provided with a limit hole 205 adapted to the limit block 301, and the limit block 301 with the spring A302 is installed on the side of the optical module body 100 through the mounting plate 303.

[0030] In this embodiment, the diameter of the limit block 301 is twice that of the limit hole 205. The limit block 301 is made of elastic material. The design of the limit block 301 enables it to be stuck outside the limit hole 205 and the side of the side panel 201 to achieve the connection between the side panel 201 and the optical module.

[0031] Specifically, during use, considering that the optical module has no mounting structure and the connection becomes loose due to shaking, a base assembly 200 is provided at the front end or rear end of the optical module body 100, and the base assembly 200 is framed at the end of the optical module body 100. The limiting blocks 301 on both sides of the optical module body 100 pass through the side plate 201 through the limiting holes 205, so that the optical module and the base assembly 200 are connected together. The screw holes or bolt holes provided on the side plate 201 are used to centrally install the optical modules on a fixed surface of a board or a connecting device. When disassembly is required, the limiting blocks 301 on both sides are pressed. Based on the spring A302, the limiting blocks 301 are squeezed out of the limiting holes 205 and separated from the side plate 201, thereby removing the optical module, which is convenient for installation.

[0032] Considering that water ingress into the optical module interface may affect the use of the optical module, a waterproof block is installed on the cover plate 202 of the base assembly 200. When the optical module is in use, the waterproof block can be removed and external devices can be connected through the waterproof hole 206. When not in use, the waterproof block is installed on the cover plate 202 and the sealing block 204 on the waterproof block is inserted into the socket 101 to provide waterproof protection for the socket 101.

[0033] Taking into account the alignment problem between the connected connector and the socket 101 when connecting the device, a movable part 400 is set between the cover 202 and the side panel 201. When the connected connector is too large, the cover 202 is manually opened, the toggle block 401 is pulled, the synchronous connection sleeve 402 moves outside the guide column 403, the spring B404 is stretched, and the distance between the cover 202 and the side panel 201 becomes larger, which is convenient for aligning the connected connector. After the alignment is completed, the cover 202 is released, and the cover 202 fits with the side panel 201 based on the force of the spring B404.

[0034] The optical module body 100, socket 101, base assembly 200, side panel 201, cover 202, waterproof plug 203, sealing block 204, limiter 300, limiter block 301, spring A302, mounting plate 303, movable part 400, toggle block 401, connecting sleeve 402, guide column 403, spring B404 and other components of the utility model are all universal standard parts or components known to those skilled in the art, and their structures and principles can be known to those skilled in the art through technical manuals or through conventional experimental methods.
