Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of communication optical cable splicing technology, specifically a communication optical cable connector. Background Technology

[0002] Large-scale fiber optic network construction means that frequent fiber optic cable splicing operations are required. Whether it is the laying and extension of new lines or the repair, upgrading and transformation of existing networks, it is inevitable to connect different segments of fiber optic cables. For example, in urban underground utility tunnels, due to limited construction space and complex cable layout, fiber optic cable connectors must be miniaturized and easy to operate in order to ensure construction efficiency and reduce the duration of interruption to urban communication services.

[0003] For example, CN220691157U discloses a communication optical cable connector, specifically relating to the field of communication optical cable connector technology, including a slotted connecting strip, an installation mechanism fixedly connected to the left end of the slotted connecting strip, a driving mechanism fixedly connected to the left side of the installation mechanism, a top cover one slidably connected to the left end of the slotted connecting strip, and a second top cover slidably connected to the left end of the slotted connecting strip. This utility model discloses a communication optical cable connector, which includes an installation mechanism and a drive mechanism. These mechanisms work together to enable rapid installation and disassembly of the connector. The two top covers slide from their symmetrical axis positions to the sides, simplifying the use of the connector. A fixing mechanism effectively secures the communication cable, preventing it from falling off and causing communication problems, thus improving the connector's practicality. However, some optical cable connectors use simple mechanical plug-in structures, which, while relatively easy to operate, are prone to loosening under long-term vibration or temperature changes, leading to increased optical signal attenuation or even interruption. Some complex traditional connectors require specialized tools for installation and debugging by professional technicians, resulting in cumbersome and time-consuming procedures. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a communication optical cable connector to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0008] Preferably, the clamping box has internal grooves on both sides, and two sets of mirror-shaped clamping blocks are slidably connected inside the clamping box. The top of each set of clamping blocks is equipped with a fixed bearing, and the upper and lower ends of the clamping box are threaded with screw rods to connect to the fixed bearings.

[0009] Preferably, the top of the encapsulation cover has mounting holes on all four sides, and the four sets of mounting holes are perpendicular to the left threaded hole and the right threaded hole. A clamping plate is installed inside the encapsulation cover.

[0010] Preferably, the inner walls of the encapsulation cover are provided with upper arc-shaped grooves, and the two sets of upper arc-shaped grooves are in contact with the left and right arc-shaped grooves at the bottom.

[0011] Preferably, two sets of cap-shaped springs are installed at the top of the pressure plate, and the tops of the two sets of cap-shaped springs are installed on the inner wall of the encapsulation cover.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
