Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of silicon light modulator components, in particular to a quick-detachable silicon light modulator. Background Art

[0002] The operating principle of a silicon optical modulator (SOM) relies primarily on the photoelectric and electro-optical effects of silicon. It uses electrodes to control carriers within the silicon chip, thereby modulating the optical signal. The SOM's housing is a crucial component of its structure. Because it incorporates numerous complex optical and electronic components, which are highly sensitive to the external environment, the housing must possess sufficient strength and stability to prevent damage from physical factors such as impact and vibration. Furthermore, the housing must be hermetically sealed to prevent contaminants such as dust and moisture from entering and impacting the device's performance and lifespan.

[0003] Existing silicon photonic modulator housings typically use mounting holes at both ends for fastening. This design is effective in most cases, ensuring stability and reliability after installation. However, in certain situations, such as testing, where the silicon photonic modulator must be repeatedly replaced, this fastening method not only increases operational complexity but can also cause damage to the silicon photonic modulator itself and the mounting interface. Furthermore, repeated disassembly and installation consumes considerable time, impacting work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] (2) Technical solution: In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose of quick disassembly and assembly of the silicon light modulator, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a quick-detachable silicon light modulator, comprising a modulator housing, wherein wire interfaces are provided at both ends of the modulator housing, and semi-ring-shaped fixing buckles are symmetrically fixedly connected at both ends of the modulator housing, and a transverse slide groove is also provided in the modulator housing at the position of the fixing buckle, and a sliding rod is slidably assembled in the slide groove, and a receiving groove is also provided below the slide groove, the width of the receiving groove is greater than the slide groove, and the length of the sliding rod is greater than the vertical length of the receiving groove, and a semi-ring-shaped sliding buckle that can slide along the sliding rod is elastically connected to the sliding rod, and the width of the sliding buckle is greater than the width of the receiving groove.

[0006] Preferably, a slider is provided at the bottom of the sliding buckle, the vertical length of the slider is equal to half of the vertical length of the sliding buckle, the slider is slidably connected to the sliding rod, and the width of the slider is smaller than the width of the accommodating groove, and the sliding buckle slides along the edge of the modulator shell.

[0007] Preferably, a limiting ring is provided at the bottom of the slide rod, and a circular groove matching the limiting ring is provided at the bottom of the slider.

[0008] Preferably, the slider and the slide rod are connected via an elastic structure.

[0009] Preferably, a wide groove having a width greater than that of the sliding buckle is provided below the accommodating groove, and the vertical length of the wide groove is equal to the vertical length of the sliding block.

[0011] Preferably, a baffle rod is slidably connected to the side of the modulator housing, and the baffle rod is arranged below the fixing buckle and the distance from the fixing buckle is equal to the vertical length of the sliding buckle.

[0012] (III) Beneficial Effects: Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a quick-release silicon light modulator with the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. This quick-release silicon light modulator uses a fixed buckle structure and a sliding buckle structure in combination. When the modulator housing needs to be fixed, the fixing bolt is clamped on the fixed buckle, and the sliding buckle slides along the edge of the modulator housing and merges with the fixed buckle. The sliding buckle will be subjected to the elastic force of the elastic structure and clamp the fixing bolt together with the fixed buckle; and when it needs to be removed, the sliding buckle is first moved downward along the side of the modulator housing and then pushed to the right to restore it to its initial state, thereby realizing the quick release of the modulator housing, reducing the time for frequent disassembly of the modulator housing, and improving work efficiency. In addition, when using the present invention for fixing, pre-positioning can also be performed through the fixing buckle. When installing the modulator housing, the fixing buckle can be first aligned with the position or hole position to be fixed, so that the overall position of the modulator housing can be ensured to be correct. Because the fixing buckle is in a semi-ring shape, it can be well aligned and positioned with the fixing bolt or other fixing structure, avoiding installation failure caused by problems in the hole setting.

[0014] 2. This quick-release silicon light modulator uses a fixed buckle structure in conjunction with a sliding buckle structure. Even if the modulator housing is subjected to external forces during use, the sliding buckle will not slide due to the force, thereby ensuring the stable fixation of the modulator housing. This allows the present invention to maintain its stability even during long-term use. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] See also Figure 1-Figure 7A quick-release silicon optical modulator includes a modulator housing 1, with wire interfaces 2 provided at both ends of the modulator housing 1. Semi-ring-shaped fixing buckles 3 are symmetrically fixedly connected to both ends of the modulator housing 1. The fixing buckles 3 provide a stable support and positioning structure, allowing the modulator to be firmly fixed in a predetermined position. A transverse slide groove 5 is also provided in the modulator housing 1 at the position of the fixing buckle 3. The transverse slide groove 5 is provided in the modulator housing 1 at the position of the fixing buckle 3, allowing the sliding buckle 4 to slide along the slide groove 5. The slide groove 5 provides a sliding track to ensure that the sliding buckle 4 maintains the correct direction and position during movement, thereby achieving effective clamping of the fixing buckle 3. A sliding rod 9 is slidably assembled in the slide groove 5. The slide rod 9 is mainly used to provide a support structure for the movement of the sliding buckle 4. The slide rod 9 serves as a guide for the sliding of the sliding buckle 4, ensuring the smooth movement of the sliding buckle 4 in the slide groove 5 and providing appropriate clamping force when cooperating with the fixing buckle 3. A receiving groove 6 is also provided below the slide 5. The width of the receiving groove 6 is greater than that of the slide 5. The slide rod 9 is provided in the receiving groove 6, and the length of the slide rod 9 is greater than the vertical length of the receiving groove 6. This ensures that the slide rod 9 has sufficient room to move in the receiving groove 6. When clamping or releasing is required, the slide rod 9 can move up and down in this space to accommodate the operation of the sliding buckle 4. A semi-ring-shaped sliding buckle 4 that can slide along the slide rod 9 is elastically connected to the slide rod 9. The width of the sliding buckle 4 is greater than that of the receiving groove 6. The sliding buckle 4 is designed to ensure that the sliding buckle 4 can move freely on the slide rod 9 and automatically return to its original position through elastic force.

[0025] See also Figure 1-Figure 7The bottom of the sliding buckle 4 is equipped with a slider 8, whose vertical length is equal to half of the vertical length of the sliding buckle 4. The slider 8 is slidably connected to the slide rod 9, and its width is smaller than the width of the receiving slot 6, which ensures stable sliding and clamping functions. The sliding connection between the slider 8 and the slide rod 9 ensures that the sliding buckle 4 can move smoothly along the slide rod 9. The smaller width of the slider 8 than the width of the receiving slot 6 prevents the slider 8 from getting stuck, ensuring smooth sliding. The sliding buckle 4 slides along the edge of the modulator housing 1. The design of the sliding buckle 4 sliding along the edge of the modulator housing 1 makes operation more convenient, effectively clamping and releasing the fixing bolts, and ensuring the modulator housing 1 is firmly fixed. The edge sliding design fully utilizes space. A limit ring 10 is installed at the bottom of the slide rod 9, and a circular groove is provided on the bottom of the slider 8 to match the limit ring 10. This design limits the range of movement of the sliding buckle 4, preventing the slider 8 from sliding off the slide rod 9, and ensuring the safety and reliability of the system. The slider 8 and the slide rod 9 are connected by an elastic structure. An elastic structure automatically adjusts the position of the sliding buckle 4, ensuring it remains properly clamped during operation. The elastic structure can be implemented using a spring or other elastic material. Below the receiving slot 6 is a wide slot 7, wider than the sliding buckle 4 and equal in vertical length to the slider 8. The wide slot 7 fully accommodates the slide rod 9, protecting it from external damage. The horizontal length of the receiving slot 6 is greater than that of the sliding buckle 4. The wide slot 7 provides ample space for the slide rod 4 and 9, ensuring their safe storage when not in use. A retaining rod 11 is also slidably connected to the side of the modulator housing 1. The retaining rod 11 is positioned below the fixing buckle 3 and at a distance equal to the vertical length of the sliding buckle 4. Once the sliding buckle 4 is clamped, the retaining rod 11 holds the slide rod 4 in place, preventing it from moving under stress and ensuring stability during long-term use. This design provides additional safety, making the modulator housing 1 more secure and reliable.

[0026] Working principle: In the initial state, the sliding buckle 4 is located in the wide groove 7 below, and the elastic structure between the slider 8 and the slide rod 9 is in a stretched state. Figure 6As shown. When the modulator housing 1 needs to be fixed, the fixing bolt is first clamped on the fixing buckle 3, and at the same time, the sliding buckle 4 slides along the edge of the modulator housing 1. The sliding buckle 4 first moves to the left. When the sliding buckle 4 moves to the left edge of the modulator housing 1, the slider 8 is pulled to the position of the fixing buckle 3 along the direction of the slide rod 9 by the elastic force of the elastic structure and merged with the fixing buckle 3. At this time, the slider 8 is clamped together with the fixing buckle 3 by the elastic force of the elastic structure. When it needs to be removed, the sliding buckle 4 is first moved downward along the side of the modulator housing 1 and then pushed to the right to restore it to its initial state. This structure can achieve quick disassembly of the modulator housing 1 through the mutual clamping of the fixing buckle 3 and the sliding buckle 4, thereby reducing the time for frequent disassembly of the modulator housing 1 and improving work efficiency. In addition, when using the present invention for fixation, it can also be pre-positioned by the fixing buckle 3 to avoid installation failure caused by problems in the hole setting.

[0027] After the sliding buckle 4 and the fixing buckle 3 are clamped with the fixing bolt, the blocking rod 11 can be slid to clamp the sliding buckle 4 to prevent it from sliding under force, thereby avoiding the sliding of the sliding buckle 4 from affecting the fixation of the modulator housing 1, so that the present invention can also ensure its stability during long-term use.
