These drawings are mainly used to illustrate the embodiments and can be used in conjunction with the relevant descriptions in the specification to explain the operating principles of the embodiments. With reference to these contents, those skilled in the art should be able to understand other possible implementation methods and the advantages of the present invention. The components in the figures are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are usually used to represent similar components.
[0023] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a component for an MPO connector is provided.
[0024] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, such as... Figures 1-6 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a component for an MPO connector includes an MPO connector 1 and a component 2. The component 2 is connected to the side of the MPO connector 1. The component 2 is composed of an upper shell 3 and a lower shell 4. The upper shell 3 is provided with a plug 31 and a slider 32. The plug 31 is located at the side end of the upper shell 3, and two sets of sliders 32 are located at the bottom of the upper shell 3. The lower shell 4 is provided with a slide rail 41, a limiting seat 42, and a plug 43. The slide rail 41 and the plug 43 are respectively located on both sides of the limiting seat 42. The slider 32 is slidably connected to the slide rail 41 and limited by the limiting seat 42. The plug 31 is inserted into the limiting seat 42. The inner side of the limiting seat 42 is provided with a limiting groove 421. The plug 43 is provided with a buckle 431 and a slot 432. The slot 432 extends along the plug 43 into the interior of the lower shell 4. Two sets of buckles 431 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the plug 4. The plug 4 is connected to the MPO connector 1. The tight connection between the upper shell 3 and the lower shell 4 is achieved through the cooperation of the insert block 31 and the limiting seat 42, and the cooperation of the slider 32 and the slide rail 41, effectively preventing loosening of the component 2 during use. The plug 43 is equipped with a latch 431 and a slot 432. The slot 432 extends along the plug 43 into the interior of the lower shell 4, providing a guiding and fixing channel for the insertion of external optical fibers, ensuring accurate and stable connection of the optical fiber to the MPO connector 1. Two sets of latches 431 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the plug 4 for secure connection with the interface of external devices, preventing accidental detachment of the plug 43 during use and improving the stability and reliability of the connection between the component 2 and external devices. The plug 43 connects to the MPO connector 1, realizing the transmission and conversion of optical fiber signals and ensuring smooth optical fiber communication.
[0025] In one embodiment, the MPO connector 1 is provided with optical fibers, the stripped 24-core 0.9mm 12x2 arrangement, and the unstripped optical fibers are arranged in the scattered part 2 in the form of 6x4 arrangement. It can realize efficient optical fiber connection and signal transmission. The unstripped optical fibers are arranged in the scattered part 2 in the form of 6x4 arrangement, which not only makes full use of the space inside the scattered part 2, but also ensures that the optical fibers have sufficient bending radius in the scattered part 2, avoiding the problem of signal attenuation caused by excessive bending of the optical fibers. The upper shell 3 and the lower shell 4 of the scattered part 2 play a good protective role on the optical fibers, preventing the optical fibers from being extruded, stretched and damaged by the outside world, and ensuring the physical properties and transmission properties of the optical fibers.
[0026] In one embodiment, the plug 31 is provided with a positioning plate 311 and a limiting buckle 312, the positioning plate 311 is limited in the slot 432, and the two limiting buckles 312 are arranged on the two sides of the positioning plate 311 and are clamped in the limiting groove 421. The tight connection of the plug 31 and the limiting seat 42 is realized. The limiting buckle 312 is an elastic member, which is deformed by extrusion when the plug 31 is inserted into the limiting seat 42, and returns to its original shape after entering the limiting groove 421, and is clamped in the limiting groove 421. This elastic clamping mode facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the upper shell 3 and the lower shell 4, and also ensures the firmness of the connection.
[0027] Working principle: align the sliding block 32 of the upper shell 3 with the sliding rail 41 of the lower shell 4, and slowly slide the upper shell 3 along the sliding rail 41 downward, when the sliding block 32 is completely inserted into the sliding rail 41 and contacts with the limiting seat 42, insert the plug 31 of the upper shell 3 into the limiting seat 42, in the process of insertion, the positioning plate 311 of the plug 31 will first enter the slot 432, play a guiding and positioning role, at the same time, the limiting buckles 312 on both sides of the plug 31 will be extruded and deformed by the limiting seat 42, continue to insert until the limiting buckles 312 are clamped into the limiting groove 42, at this time, the upper shell 3 and the lower shell 4 are tightly connected together, and the assembly of the scattered part 2 is completed. Place the unstripped optical fibers in the lower shell 4 according to the 6x4 arrangement, and the stripped 24-core 0.9mm 12x2 arrangement, and the unstripped optical fibers are arranged in the scattered part 2 in the form of 6x4 arrangement.
