Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a universal label connector, belonging to the technical field of optical fiber communications. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of optical communication technology, the proportion of optical communication is getting higher and higher. In order to overcome the limitation of original space, high-density fiber optic wiring has gradually appeared in the computer room of the data center to replace the traditional wiring, that is, LC type fiber optic connectors are used to replace SC, FC, ST optical connectors, and the corresponding active equipment is replaced with LC type optical interface. The port area occupied by LC type optical devices is only half of that of SC, FC, and ST models, so the utilization rate of the original space is doubled. Since there was no large-scale mass production in the early stage, it was only mass-produced according to different needs, resulting in the emergence of three common structures: simplex, simplex dual-fiber and duplex, and the connectors are all standard connectors. Figure 10 As shown, simplex is a connector for a single-core fiber optic cable. Simplex duplex is achieved by inserting two simplex connectors into a common duplex adapter. Duplex is a later application. To reduce cable management difficulties, two optical cables are combined into a figure-8 duplex cable. Two LC fiber optic connectors are connected together and locked together with a positioning clip. Currently, electronic tags are installed on optical fiber connectors to identify individual fibers to ensure that they meet the requirements of intelligent ODN.

[0003] A Chinese invention patent application with application publication number CN102708352A discloses a label buckle, which is actually a label connector. The label buckle consists of three parts, two of which are L-shaped. The two parts can be spliced ​​into a rectangular frame structure, which is buckled on the optical fiber connector when in use. The other part is perpendicular to the above two parts and is used to set a QR code label. When using a label buckle with this structure, the two parts need to be flipped open first, and then the optical fiber connector is placed therein, and then the two parts are flipped and buckled together to fix it on the optical fiber connector. The label buckle with this structure is relatively complicated to install. It is not only inconvenient to install, but also only applicable to simplex optical fiber connectors and has poor versatility. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a universal tag connector to solve the technical defects of the tag connector in the prior art, such as poor versatility and inconvenient installation.

The use of the present invention is simpler. Due to the C-shaped ring and the opening on one side in the present invention, two present inventions can be buckled on the duplex optical fiber connector from both sides respectively. Compared with the prior art, the present invention has a wider range of applicability and better versatility.

[0006] As a further improvement to the present invention, the lower edge of the side block, facing away from the support plate, is provided with an inclined surface, which is used to avoid the reinforcing ribs at the connection between the fiber optic connector pressure plate and the housing when in use. By providing the inclined surface on the side block, the present invention avoids the reinforcing ribs on the fiber optic connector, preventing the reinforcing ribs from propping the side block away from the sheath, allowing the C-shaped ring buckle to better engage with the fiber optic connector sheath and form a close fit with the sheath.

[0007] As a further improvement to the present invention, an elastic groove is provided on the boss stopper, located on the side of the C-shaped buckle away from the opening. This elastic groove is used to elastically deform the upper and lower portions of the boss stopper when the optical fiber connector sheath is inserted into the C-shaped buckle through the opening, and to reposition the upper and lower portions of the boss stopper after the optical fiber connector sheath enters the C-shaped buckle. By providing the elastic groove, the present invention allows the boss stopper to have a greater deformation during use, making it easier to install the optical fiber connector sheath within the C-shaped buckle.
