[0025] A strengthening fixing mechanism is provided, and the strengthening fixing mechanism includes a clamping reinforcement component arranged on the inner surface of the mounting sleeve 102 and the mounting sleeve 2 103. The end of the clamping reinforcement component is located inside the mounting sleeve 2 103 and is provided with a movable adjustment component. Before the wavelength division multiplexer main body 100 is used, the output optical fiber ferrule 104 and the connecting optical fiber ferrule 105 are closed. The strengthening fixing mechanism can strengthen the fixing and installation of the output optical fiber ferrule 104 and the connecting optical fiber ferrule 105. When the wavelength division multiplexer main body 100 is used, it is not easy to cause loosening, poor contact or falling off when subjected to tension, thereby improving the strengthening fixation of the output optical fiber ferrule 104 and the connecting optical fiber ferrule 105 when the wavelength division multiplexer main body 100 is in use.
[0026] In order to facilitate the reinforcement and installation of the output fiber optic ferrule 104 and the connecting fiber optic ferrule 105 through the clamping and reinforcement component, in this embodiment, preferably, the clamping and reinforcement component includes a movable groove 1041 opened at the edge of the inner surface of the installation sleeve 102 and the installation sleeve 2 103, and the anti-slip reinforcement clamp 1042 can be moved inside the movable groove 1041 and clamped and fixed on the outer surface of the output fiber optic ferrule 104, and the connecting fiber optic ferrule 105 is fixed again.

[0027] In order to facilitate the movement, clamping and fixing of the anti-slip reinforcement splint 1042 by moving the adjustment component, so as to facilitate the reinforcement and installation of the output optical fiber ferrule 104 and the connecting optical fiber ferrule 105, in this embodiment, preferably, the movement and adjustment component includes an internal thread groove 1046 located inside the installation sleeve 103 on one side of the moving groove 1041, and a threaded rod 1045 is provided inside the internal thread groove 1046.

The end of 1045 is located on the outer surface of the threaded rod 1045 and is rotated with an adjusting nut 1048, which can be engaged with a wrench on the outer surface of the adjusting nut 1048 for rotation. When the adjusting nut 1048 rotates, it drives the threaded rod 1045 and the anti-slip reinforcement splint 1042 to move, which is convenient for moving, adjusting and reinforcing the installation. The end surface of the internal thread groove 1046 is threadedly rotated with an external threaded cover 1047, and after the reinforced installation and adjustment, the external threaded cover 1047 is rotated again on the end of the internal thread groove 1046 for protection.
[0028] A fixed installation mechanism is provided, and the fixed installation mechanism includes a sleeve connection component, the inner surface of the sleeve connection component is provided with an extrusion fixing component, and the end of the extrusion fixing component is provided with a limit component. Before the wavelength division multiplexer main body 100 is used, the fixed installation mechanism is used to fix the focusing lens 106 and the filter 107. After installation, it is more stable when touched, thereby improving the fixity of the wavelength division multiplexer main body 100 on the focusing lens 106 and the filter 107 when in use, and making the wavelength division multiplexer main body 100 more stably installed and used.
[0029] In order to facilitate the reinforced installation and use of the focusing lens 106 and the filter 107 through the sleeve-fitting connection component, and to prevent instability when touched and vibrated, in this embodiment, preferably, the sleeve-fitting connection component includes two fixing rings 1061 fixedly installed inside the filter tube body 101, and the focusing lens 106 and the filter 107 respectively pass through the interior of each fixing ring 1061, so that the focusing lens 106 and the filter 107 can be fixedly installed inside each fixing ring 1061.
[0030] In order to facilitate the reinforcement installation of the focusing lens 106 and the filter 107 inside each fixing ring 1061 through the extrusion fixing assembly, in this embodiment, preferably, the extrusion fixing assembly includes an outer bevel extrusion fixing plate 1062 arranged at the inner edge of the fixing ring 1061, and the inner surface of the fixing ring 1061 is threaded with an outer threaded ring 1063, and the inner surface of the outer threaded ring 1063 is integrally formed with an extrusion bevel 1064. The focusing lens 106 can be passed through the interior of the fixing ring 1061, and the outer threaded ring 1063 is rotated to extrude and reinforce the outer bevel extrusion fixing plate 1062 through the extrusion bevel 1064 to reinforce the filter 107 again.
[0031] In order to facilitate the stable extrusion and fixed installation of the outer inclined surface extrusion fixing plate 1062 through the limiting component, in this embodiment, preferably, the limiting component includes a limiting groove 1065 opened at the top end of the fixing ring 1061, and a limiting block 1066 is arranged inside the limiting groove 1065. The end of the limiting block 1066 is fixed to the end of the outer inclined surface extrusion fixing plate 1062 by screws, and when the outer inclined surface extrusion fixing plate 1062 is squeezed and moved, the limiting block 1066 is driven to slide and control inside the limiting groove 1065, so that the outer inclined surface extrusion fixing plate 1062 can be stably moved, clamped and fixed.
[0032] The working principle and use process of the present invention are as follows: the miniature three-port wavelength division multiplexer is first installed before use. After the fixing ring 1061 is fixed to the inside of the filter tube body 101, the focusing lens 106 and the filter 107 are respectively passed through the inside of each fixing ring 1061 and the external thread ring 1063. After the installation, the external thread ring 1063 is rotated on the inner surface of the fixing ring 1061 to contact the surface of the external inclined surface extrusion fixing plate 1062 through the extrusion inclined surface 1064, and the external inclined surface extrusion fixing plate 1062 is squeezed. When the external inclined surface extrusion fixing plate 1062 is squeezed and moved, the limit block 1066 is driven to move in the limit groove 1065. The fixing plate 1062 is pressed and fixed on the surface of the focusing lens 106 and the filter 107 by the outer inclined surface, thereby facilitating the quick fixing and installation of the focusing lens 106 and the filter 107. When the wavelength division multiplexer main body 100 is used after installation, the focusing lens 106 and the filter 107 are not easily shaken when the wavelength division multiplexer main body 100 is touched. Compared with the installation of the existing rubber ring, the fixing of the focusing lens 106 and the filter 107 by the wavelength division multiplexer main body 100 is improved during use, and the wavelength division multiplexer main body 100 is more stably installed and used.
[0033] Then, when the wavelength division multiplexer main body 100 is in use, after confirming that the distances between the connecting fiber ferrule 105 and the output fiber ferrule 104 and the internal focusing lens 106 and filter 107 meet the standards, the connecting fiber ferrule 105 and the output fiber ferrule 104 are fixed in their respective positions on the mounting sleeve 102 and the mounting sleeve 2 103. The optical signal of one port enters the focusing lens 106 through the input optical fiber 1051 inside the connecting fiber ferrule 105 after the optical path is collimated. Part of the optical signal is reflected by the filter 107, and part is transmitted by the filter 107. The reflected light signal returns to the focusing lens 106 and returns to the connecting fiber ferrule 105. The reflected light signal will enter the reflection optical fiber 1052 of the other port connected to the connecting fiber ferrule 105 installed in the mounting sleeve 102. The transmitted light signal enters the output fiber ferrule 104 inside the mounting sleeve 2 103 after passing through the filter 107.
[0034] Finally, when the wavelength division multiplexer body 100 is installed before use, the output fiber optic ferrule 104 and the connecting fiber optic ferrule 105 are respectively closed inside the installation sleeve 2 103 and the installation sleeve 1 102, and the wrench is again engaged with the outer surface of the adjusting nut 1048 to rotate. When the adjusting nut 1048 rotates on the outer surface of the threaded rod 1045, it drives the threaded rod 1045 to move. When the threaded rod 1045 moves, it drives the anti-skid reinforcement clamping plate 1042 to move inside the moving groove 1041. At the same time, the control slider 1043 is slidably controlled inside the control slide groove 1044, so that the anti-skid reinforcement clamping plate 1042 can be stably moved and clamped. It is fixed on the surface of the output fiber optic ferrule 104, which is convenient for fixing the output fiber optic ferrule 104 and the second installation sleeve 103, thereby reinforcing the installation between the first installation sleeve 102 and the connecting fiber optic ferrule 105, and facilitating the reinforcement installation of the output fiber optic ferrule 104 and the connecting fiber optic ferrule 105 before the wavelength division multiplexer main body 100 is installed and used. After the wavelength division multiplexer main body 100 is installed and used, it is not easy to cause loosening, poor contact or falling off when subjected to tension. The wavelength division multiplexer main body 100 is stably installed, and the enhanced fixation of the wavelength division multiplexer main body 100 for the output fiber optic ferrule 104 and the connecting fiber optic ferrule 105 when in use is improved.
