Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of quick-plug components for optical module connectors, and more particularly to quick-plug components for optical module connectors. Background Technology
[0002] According to Chinese Publication No. CN219555367U, an optical module cage is disclosed. It includes an upper cover and a lower cover. The lower cover is mounted on the bottom of the upper cover, forming a box with one open end. A first spring tab is provided at the end of the upper cover corresponding to the opening end of the box. A second spring tab is provided in the middle of the end of the lower cover near the opening end. The second spring tab is bent upwards from the plane of the lower cover and has a locking hole that engages with a corresponding locking hook at the bottom of the optical module. The first and second spring tabs create a stable clamping effect by pressing the optical module at two points, and the locking hole on the second spring tab engages with the locking hook at the bottom of the optical module to further secure the optical module. External spring tabs are installed on the four sides of the cage's open end. These external spring tabs secure the box to the mounting holes of a server or panel, effectively limiting and fixing the cage, and providing resistance to vibration and impact.
[0003] The aforementioned technology involves inserting the optical module connector into the set-top box via a fisheye pin. When this technology fails, the set-top box needs to be disassembled, the optical module connector unplugged, and replaced with a new one. This requires frequent disassembly of the set-top box to replace the optical module connector, making it impossible to quickly replace the connector by simply plugging and unplugging it. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies that do not allow for quick replacement of optical module connectors through plugging and unplugging, and to propose a quick-plug component for optical module connectors.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a quick-plug component for an optical module connector, comprising a body, a bracket on the surface of the body, a connector body at the bottom of the bracket, a top cover on the top surface of the connector body, a mounting bracket at the bottom of the top cover, a second return spring inside the mounting bracket, first return springs on both sides of the mounting bracket, two partitions between the two first return springs, a locking block on one side of the mounting bracket, a spring piece at the bottom of the bracket, pins on both sides of the spring piece, a guide rod at the top of the mounting bracket, a button at the end of the guide rod, and a pressure block at the bottom of the guide rod.
[0006] Preferably, the top cover is welded to the top surface of the connector body, the locking block is disposed on the bottom surface of the top cover, and the locking block is disposed at the end of the top cover.
[0007] Preferably, two partitions are provided on both sides of the mounting frame, and the mounting frame is welded to the top surface of the connector body. The two partitions are provided on the bottom surface of the top cover, and the partitions and the locking blocks are integrally formed with the top cover.
[0008] Preferably, the pressure block is disposed on the surface of the button, the button, the pressure block and the guide rod are integrally formed, and one end of the pressure block penetrates into the interior of the mounting bracket and abuts against the second return spring.
[0009] Preferably, the bracket is welded to the surface of the body, and the bracket's pins and spring clips are installed inside the top cover.
[0010] Preferably, the two pins and spring clips are integrally formed with the bracket, and the spring clip on the bottom surface of the bracket locks the locking block on the bottom surface of the top cover.
[0011] Preferably, the two pins are positioned at the same location as the first return spring, and both pins abut against the first return spring.
[0012] Beneficial effects
[0013] In this invention, two pins and spring contacts are integrally formed with the bracket, which is welded to the surface of the machine body. Two partitions and a locking block are integrally formed with the top cover. A mounting bracket is provided at the bottom of the top cover. A second return spring is installed inside the mounting bracket, and one end of the pressure block penetrates into the mounting bracket and abuts against the second return spring. The pressure block and guide rod are integrally formed with the button. During installation, simply align the top cover of the connector body with the bracket and insert the connector body into the machine body. During installation, the pins and spring contacts of the bracket will insert into the bottom of the top cover, and the spring contacts of the bracket will lock onto the bottom surface of the top cover. The connector body is fixed inside the housing by a locking block. When disassembly is required, simply press the button to eject the connector body from the housing. When the button is pressed, the guide rod is integrally formed with the button, so the guide rod moves in the direction the button is pressed, causing the pressure block to knock open the spring piece of the bracket, thus disengaging the spring piece from the locking block. Since the two pins of the bracket abut against the two first return springs, when the spring piece disengages from the locking block, the first return springs will eject the connector body from the housing through elastic force, thus solving the disadvantage of not being able to quickly replace the optical module connector by plugging and unplugging.

[0020] To make the technical means, creative features, and achieved objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model is further described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. However, the following embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and not all of them. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments described in the implementation plan without creative effort are all within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0021] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Specific Implementation Example 1:
[0023] Reference Figure 1-4 A quick-plug component for an optical module connector includes a body 1, a bracket 3 on the surface of the body 1, a connector body 2 at the bottom of the bracket 3, a top cover 4 on the top surface of the connector body 2, a mounting bracket 9 at the bottom of the top cover 4, a second return spring 11 inside the mounting bracket 9, first return springs 7 on both sides of the mounting bracket 9, two partitions 10 between the two first return springs 7, a locking block 13 on one side of the mounting bracket 9, a spring piece 12 at the bottom of the bracket 3, pins 8 on both sides of the spring piece 12, a guide rod 14 at the top of the mounting bracket 9, a button 5 at the end of the guide rod 14, and a pressure block 6 at the bottom of the guide rod 14. The top cover 4 is welded to the top surface of the connector body 2, and the locking block 13 is located on the bottom surface of the top cover 4. At the end of 4, two partitions 10 are set on both sides of the mounting bracket 9, and the mounting bracket 9 is welded to the top surface of the connector body 2. Two partitions 10 are set on the bottom surface of the top cover 4, and the partitions 10 and the locking block 13 are integrally formed with the top cover 4. The pressure block 6 is set on the surface of the button 5. The button 5, the pressure block 6 and the guide rod 14 are integrally formed, and one end of the pressure block 6 penetrates into the interior of the mounting bracket 9 and abuts against the second return spring 11. The bracket 3 is welded to the surface of the body 1, and the pin 8 and the spring piece 12 of the bracket 3 are installed into the interior of the top cover 4. The two pins 8 and the spring piece 12 are integrally formed with the bracket 3. The spring piece 12 on the bottom surface of the bracket 3 locks against the locking block 13 on the bottom surface of the top cover 4. The positions of the two pins 8 are consistent with the positions of the first return spring 7, and both pins 8 abut against the first return spring 7.
[0024] Two pins 8 and spring clips 12 are integrally formed with bracket 3, and bracket 3 is welded to the top surface of the mounting hole for the optical module on the body 1. Two partitions 10 and clips 13 are integrally formed with top cover 4, and top cover 4 is welded to the top surface of connector body 2. A mounting bracket 9 is provided at the bottom of top cover 4, and mounting bracket 9 is installed on the top surface of connector body 2. Second return spring 11 is installed inside mounting bracket 9, and one end of pressure block 6 penetrates into the inside of mounting bracket 9 and abuts against second return spring 11. Pressure block 6 and guide rod 14 are integrally formed with button 5. Pressure block 6 is located on top of guide rod 14 and mounting bracket 9, and pressure block 6, guide rod 14 and button 5 are integrally formed. All are located at the bottom of the top cover 4. During installation, simply align the top cover 4 of the connector body 2 with the bracket 3 and insert the connector body 2 into the body 1. During installation, the pins 8 and spring pieces 12 on the bottom of the bracket 3 will insert into the bottom of the top cover 4, and the spring pieces 12 of the bracket 3 will lock onto the locking block 13 on the bottom of the top cover 4. The locking block 13 is located at the end of the top cover 4 away from the mounting bracket 9, so that the connector body 2 is fixed in the body 1 by the spring pieces 12 of the bracket 3 locking onto the locking block 13 on the bottom of the top cover 4. When the connector body 2 is installed, the two pins 8 of the bracket 3 will abut against the two first return springs 7. The partition 10 on one side of the first return spring 7 will restrict the first return spring 7. When disassembly is required, simply press button 5 to eject the connector body 2 from the body 1. When button 5 is pressed, since the guide rod 14 is integrally formed with button 5, the guide rod 14 will also move in the direction of button 5, causing the pressure block 6 to knock open the spring piece 12 of the bracket 3, thereby disengaging the spring piece 12 from the locking block 13. When button 5 is pressed, the pressure block 6 of button 5 will squeeze the second return spring 11. Since the two pins 8 of the bracket 3 abut against the two first return springs 7, when the spring piece 12 disengages from the locking block 13, it is used to fix the connector. When the force on the connector body 2 disappears, the first return spring 7 will eject the connector body 2 from the body 1 through its elastic force. When the connector body 2 is ejected from the body 1, the button 5 can be released. Since the pressure block 6 is integrally formed with the button 5, when the button 5 is released, the squeezing force of the pressure block 6 on the second return spring 11 will disappear. In this way, the second return spring 11 will return the button 5 to its original position. In the entire component, the elastic coefficients of the two first return springs 7 are greater than the elastic coefficients of the second return spring 11, to prevent the force required to press the button 5 from being greater than the elastic force of the first return spring 7, which would cause the connector body 2 to not be ejected from the body 1. Specific Implementation Example 2:
[0026] Reference Figure 1-4A quick-plug component for an optical module connector, further based on the basic structure in Specific Embodiment 1, allows the top cover 4 to be mounted on the top surface of the connector body 2 with screws, and the bracket 3 to be mounted on the surface of the body 1 with screws. In this way, when any of the components of the top cover 4, bracket 3, and connector body 2 are damaged, the corresponding damaged component can be replaced instead of replacing the whole assembly, thereby reducing the replacement cost.
[0027] In summary:
[0028] 1. Two pins 8 and spring pieces 12 are integrally formed with the bracket 3, and the bracket 3 is welded to the surface of the body 1. Two partitions 10 and locking blocks 13 are integrally formed with the top cover 4. A mounting bracket 9 is provided at the bottom of the top cover 4. The second return spring 11 is installed inside the mounting bracket 9, and one end of the pressure block 6 penetrates into the interior of the mounting bracket 9 and abuts against the second return spring 11. The pressure block 6 and the guide rod 14 are integrally formed with the button 5. During installation, simply align the top cover 4 on the top surface of the connector body 2 with the bracket 3 and insert the connector body 2 into the body 1. During the installation process, the pins 8 and spring pieces 12 of the bracket 3 will insert into the bottom of the top cover 4, and the spring pieces 12 of the bracket 3 will lock the bottom of the top cover 4. The connector body 2 is fixed inside the housing 1 by the locking block 13. When disassembly is required, simply press button 5 to eject the connector body 2 from the housing 1. When button 5 is pressed, since the guide rod 14 is integrally formed with button 5, the guide rod 14 will also move in the direction of button 5, causing the pressure block 6 to knock open the spring piece 12 of the bracket 3, thereby causing the spring piece 12 to disengage from the locking block 13. Since the two pins 8 of the bracket 3 abut against the two first return springs 7, when the spring piece 12 disengages from the locking block 13, the first return springs 7 will eject the connector body 2 from the housing 1 by elastic force, thus solving the disadvantage of not being able to quickly replace the optical module connector by plugging and unplugging.
