Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of connectors, in particular to an optical cable connector. Background Art

[0002] Optical cable connectors are active connecting devices between optical cables or between optical cables and optical devices. Their stability and protection have an important impact on the quality of communication. Generally, optical cable connectors are divided into connectors that connect to equipment and connectors that connect two optical cables through a parent-child connection.

[0003] However, traditional optical cable connectors generally use a disposable end protection structure. When in use, the end protection structure is removed and discarded. However, if it is not used again, there is a lack of protection for the connector end, resulting in its end face being exposed to the outside and easily invaded by pollutants such as dust, thereby affecting the connection effect and communication quality. For this purpose, an optical cable connector is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides an optical cable connector to solve the background technical problems.

[0006] Preferably, a spring is installed in the limiting groove to resist the limiting block, and the elastic force of the spring tightens the shielding cover through the limiting block, the rotating column and the adjusting frame.

[0007] Preferably, a limiting rod is installed in the limiting groove, a limiting block is passed through the limiting rod, and a spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the limiting rod.

[0008] Preferably, both side outer walls of the sub-connector and the mother connector are fixedly connected with baffles, and a slot is provided on one side of the shielding cover. The slots on the side walls of the shielding cover connected to the sub-connector and the mother connector are movably mounted on the baffles on the outside of each other.

[0022] 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 technical field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] See also Figure 1-6 , an optical cable connector in the present invention includes a sub-connector 1 and a female connector 2. Two limit grooves 3 are provided on the outer walls of both sides of the sub-connector 1 and the female connector 2. A limit block 4 is slidably connected in the limit groove 3. The outer wall of the limit block 4 is rotatably connected with a rotating column 5. An adjusting frame 6 is fixedly connected between the two rotating columns 5. The outer end of the adjusting frame 6 is rotatably connected with a shielding cover 7. The shielding covers 7 on the sub-connector 1 and the female connector 2 respectively shield and protect their end faces to prevent dust from entering when the sub-connector 1 and the female connector 2 are not in use.

[0024] In order to improve the protection of the sub-connector 1 and the mother connector 2, a spring 9 is installed in the limit groove 3 to counteract the limit block 4. When multiple shielding covers 7 respectively shield and protect the ends of the sub-connector 1 and the mother connector 2, the elastic force of the spring 9 tightens the shielding cover 7 through the limit block 4, the rotating column 5 and the adjusting frame 6, thereby providing stable protection for the sub-connector 1 and the mother connector 2.

[0025] A limiting rod 8 is installed in the limiting groove 3, and the limiting rod 8 passes through the limiting block 4. The spring 9 is sleeved on the outer wall of the limiting rod 8. When the limiting block 4 moves, the limiting block 4 slides with the outer wall of the limiting rod 8, and the limiting rod 8 restricts the spring 9 to prevent it from bending and improve stability.

[0026] The outer walls of both sides of the sub-connector 1 and the female connector 2 are fixedly connected with a baffle 11, and a card slot 10 is opened on one side of the shielding cover 7. The card slot 10 is movably stuck on the outer side of the baffle 11. Specifically, when the sub-connector 1 and the female connector 2 are connected to each other, the adjustment frames 6 on the outer walls of the sub-connector 1 and the female connector 2 are first staggered with each other, so that the adjustment frame 6 on the outer side of the sub-connector 1 and the shielding cover 7 can pass through the adjustment frame 6 on the outer side of the female connector 2, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the card slot 10 on the shielding cover 7 connected to the sub-connector 1 is sleeved on the outside of the baffle 11 on the outer wall of the mother connector 2, and the card slot 10 on the shielding cover 7 connected to the mother connector 2 is sleeved on the outside of the baffle 11 on the outer wall of the sub-connector 1, and the elastic force of the spring 9 is used to squeeze and restrict the card slot 10 on the shielding cover 7 and the baffle 11, thereby realizing the connection restriction of the sub-connector 1 and the mother connector 2, making them not easy to separate, maintaining the connection between the two, and storing the shielding cover 7.

[0027] The end face of the blocking bar 11 is L-shaped, and a blocking groove 12 is provided on the inner wall of the card slot 10. The blocking groove 12 is sleeved on the upper end of the blocking bar 11. The cooperation between the blocking groove 12 and the blocking bar 11 can further improve the limiting strength of the connection between the sub-connector 1 and the mother connector 2, and avoid the separation of the two affecting their use, so that the shielding cover 7 can not only shield and protect the ends of the sub-connector 1 and the mother connector 2, but also limit the separation of the two after the sub-connector 1 and the mother connector 2 are connected.

[0028] The width of the card slot 10 is greater than the width of the blocking bar 11 , so that the card slot 10 can be conveniently sleeved on the outer side of the blocking bar 11 .

[0029] A magnetic strip 13 is embedded in the end face of the shielding cover 7. When the two shielding covers 7 shield the end faces of the sub-connector 1 or the mother connector 2, the two shielding covers 7 are restricted to each other through the magnetic attraction of the magnetic strip 13, thereby improving the protection of the end faces of the sub-connector 1 and the mother connector 2 and preventing dust from entering.

[0030] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation methods here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
