[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0024] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, an SC-type optoelectronic hybrid active connector is provided. The connector is used to mate with an adapter 1, which has a positioning key insertion port 2. The SC-type optoelectronic hybrid active connector has a housing 3, with an exposed metal contact 4 near the front of the housing 3. A groove 5 extending axially is provided on the housing 3 at a position corresponding to the positioning key insertion port 2 of the adapter 1. A protective sleeve 6 is provided with a slider 7 that cooperates with the groove 5. The protective sleeve 6 is slidably disposed on the housing 3 by the cooperation of the slider 7 and the groove 5. The sliding of the protective sleeve 6 can cover or expose the metal contact 4. The protective sleeve 6 is stopped by the front end of the groove 5 blocking the slider 7. When the protective sleeve 6 stops at the front end, it covers the metal contact 4. When the protective sleeve 6 is pushed to the rear end, the metal contact 4 is exposed.
[0025] The elastic element 8 is disposed within the slide groove 5. One end of the elastic element 8 abuts against the slider 7, and the other end abuts against the tail end of the outer shell 3. The elastic element 8 provides an axial forward force to the protective sleeve 6. A sealing block 14 can be disposed on the inner shell 13, and the outer shell 3 can slide a short distance relative to the sealing block 14 to unlock from the adapter through the outer shell 3. The elastic element 8 can be a spring, and the sealing block 14 is located within the slide groove 5, serving as the abutment part of the spring at the tail end of the outer shell 3.
[0026] The slide groove 5 is configured to accommodate the positioning key insertion port 2 of the adapter. That is, when the connector is inserted into the adapter, the width of the slide groove 5 is adapted to the positioning key insertion port 2, so that it can be inserted. The front end or rear end of the slide groove 5 is provided with an insertion notch 9, which is used to assemble the slider 7 into the slide groove (5).
[0027] The elastic element 8 can be inserted through the insertion notch 9, or an insertion port 15 can be provided at the tail end of the outer casing 3, allowing the spring to be inserted from the rear end forward. Alternatively, the tail end of the outer casing 3 can be detachably provided with a tail sleeve 12, which is fixed by a locking mechanism 16 and a locking block. When the tail sleeve 12 is separated from the main body of the outer casing 3, the tail end of the slide groove 5 is exposed, allowing the slider 7 to be inserted into the outer casing from the tail end, and the elastic element 8 can also be inserted from the tail end. When the tail sleeve 12 is fixed to the tail end of the outer casing 3, the exposed tail end of the slide groove 5 is sealed by the sealing part 14 inside it.
[0028] The inner side of the protective sleeve 6 is provided with a clearance groove 10, and the slider 7 is disposed on the clearance groove 10, thereby saving space. The SC type optoelectronic hybrid active connector has an inner shell 13 and an outer shell 3. The inner shell 13 is the main body for fixing the optical fiber, and the outer shell 3 can cooperate with the protruding key 11 on the inner shell 13. The outer shell 3 can slide a short distance after the inner shell 13, thereby unlocking it from the adapter 1. The metal contact 4 can be disposed on both sides or on one surface located on both sides of the slide groove 6. This patent takes the slide groove 6 being located on both sides as an example, including but not limited to the case where the metal contact 4 is located on both sides or on the same side.
[0029] like Figure 9 As shown, when the tail sleeve 12 is detachably configured onto the main body of the housing 3, a polar block 18 is provided at the front end of the slide groove 5. The polar block 18 is used to insert into the positioning key insertion port 2 of the adapter. The elastic element and the protective sleeve 19 can be installed from the rear of the housing 3. The polar block 18 is solid and located at the front end of the slide groove 5, which can better fit the positioning key insertion port 2. Figure 10 As shown, when the tail sleeve 12 and the outer shell 3 are integrally formed, the protective sleeve 19 is provided with an opening, and a slider 20 is detachably installed on the protective sleeve 19 through the opening. During installation, the protective sleeve 19 needs to be squeezed and pushed in from the polar block 18 so that the protective sleeve 19 fits into the outer shell 3. Then the slider 20 is installed and fixed to the opening of the protective sleeve 19. The slider 20 cooperates with the elastic element to push the protective sleeve 19.
