Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of optical fiber connector grinding tooling, in particular to an MPO connector re-grinding tooling. Background Art

[0002] The MPO connector is a type of fiber optic connector, commonly used as a standard connector for high-speed transmission. During the MPO connector production process, the MPO ferrule end face is inspected and qualified before installation in the connector. Due to the connector's structural structure, if the MPO ferrule fails, the traditional method of rework and polishing is to disassemble the MPO housing and polish the MT ferrule separately. This disassembly process can easily break the MPO patch cord fiber, and the operation is complex, making it difficult to mass-produce. A new polishing method now eliminates the need to disassemble the connector, but this still presents challenges in mass production. Utility Model Content

[0003] Aiming at the problem that reworking and grinding of MPO connectors in the existing technical solutions is difficult to process in batches, the utility model provides an MPO connector regrinding tool.

The side wall is also detachably connected to a pressure plate, and the pressure plate and the fixing groove form a socket for fixing the MPO connector. The pressure plate is provided with a clearance groove on the side facing the fixing groove;

[0006] The positioning device comprises a positioning plate, wherein the positioning plate and the fixing disk are fitted with each other on one side and are both flat. The positioning plate is further provided with a positioning column matched with the positioning hole on the one side facing the fixing disk.

[0007] Preferably, the fixing plate is a regular prism, and the regular prism includes a plurality of side walls, and each of the side walls is provided with a plurality of fixing grooves.

[0008] Preferably, the pressure plate is connected to the side wall of the fixing plate by bolts.

[0009] Preferably, the side of the positioning plate facing the fixing disk is a horizontal surface.

[0010] Preferably, the positioning device further comprises a base, and the positioning plate is bolted to the base.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: multiple MPO connectors can be clamped and regrinded at one time, thereby realizing batch processing and effectively improving regrinding efficiency; the MT ferrules of multiple MPO connectors that need to be reworked and regrinded are positioned on the same plane, so that each MT ferrule can effectively contact the grinding pad in the next process, thereby improving the rework and grinding yield of the product.

[0015] The following is a more detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings and reference numerals, so that those skilled in the art can implement the invention after studying this specification. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0016] The utility model provides Figure 1-2 The MPO connector regrinding tool shown includes a fixing device for fixing multiple MPO connectors 30 and a positioning device for positioning the MT ferrules of the multiple MPO connectors 30 on the same plane.

[0017] The fixing device includes a fixing plate 11, a positioning hole 12 is provided in the center of the fixing plate 11, and a plurality of fixing grooves 13 are provided on the side wall of the fixing plate 11 distributed around the positioning hole 12. The side wall is also detachably connected to a pressure plate 14. In this embodiment, the pressure plate 14 is connected to the fixing plate 11 by fastening bolts. The pressure plate 14 and the fixing groove 13 form a socket for clamping the MPO connector. Multiple MPO connectors 30 are respectively inserted into the multiple sockets. The MPO connectors are clamped by locking the pressure plate 14 to complete the clamping. The pressure plate 14 is provided with a clearance groove 15 on the side facing the fixing groove 13 to avoid the convex key on the MPO connector 30.

[0018] Specifically, the fixed plate 11 is a regular prism, which includes a plurality of side walls, all of which are flat, and each of which is provided with a plurality of fixing grooves 13. In this embodiment, the fixed plate 11 is a regular prism with a regular hexagonal bottom surface, and each side wall is provided with two fixing grooves. It can simultaneously clamp and process 12 MPO connectors, achieving batch processing and improving regrinding efficiency.

[0019] The positioning device includes a positioning plate 21 and a base 23. The positioning plate 21 is bolted to the base 23. The side of the positioning plate 21 facing the fixed plate 11 is provided with a positioning post 22 that cooperates with the positioning hole 12. The sides of the positioning plate 21 and the fixed plate 11 facing each other are in contact and are both flat. The MT ferrules of multiple MPO connectors are positioned on a single plane. Then, the pressure plate 14 is locked. This ensures that each MT ferrule can effectively contact the polishing pad in the next process, thereby improving the product rework polishing yield. Specifically, the side of the positioning plate 21 facing the fixed plate 11 is typically horizontal.
