[0002] The optical fiber collimator is an optical device used to convert the divergent light beam output by the optical fiber into a parallel light beam or emit a collimated light beam into the optical fiber. Its main function is to achieve the collimation or focusing of the light beam through optical modulation, thereby improving the efficiency and quality of optical fiber communication. The optical fiber collimator is usually composed of an optical fiber end face and a lens, which utilizes the principles of refraction and reflection of light to collimate or focus the light beam.

[0030] In the above embodiments, the diameter of the mounting slot 2 at the end of the metal barrel 1 and the diameter of the lens 4 are similar and both are greater than the inner diameter of the channel at the middle position of the metal barrel 1, so that when the lens 4 is placed in the mounting slot 2, it can be ensured that the lens 4 will be clamped in the mounting slot 2. The port of the metal barrel 1 near the tail pipe protection cap 3 is provided with a groove along the circumference thereof, and the end of the tail pipe protection cap 3 near the metal barrel 1 is provided with a protrusion matched with the groove, when the metal barrel 1 and the tail pipe protection cap 3 are connected together, the protrusion on the tail pipe protection cap 3 can be inserted into the groove of the metal barrel 1, so that the dustproof effect of the joint between the metal barrel 1 and the tail pipe protection cap 3 can be effectively increased. In actual production, if it is desired to further improve the sealing performance of the entire device, the joint between the tail pipe protection cap 3 and the metal barrel 1 can be packaged by welding, so that the assembled metal barrel 1 and tail pipe protection cap 3 form an integrated structure.

Compared with the fixing mode of the prior art which adopts epoxy resin for bonding, since the epoxy resin is not used for bonding, the problem of unstable performance of the optical fiber collimator when working in a high temperature environment is effectively solved. The tapered self-locking assembly 8 is arranged in the tail pipe protection cap 3, and the optical fiber 7 arranged in the metal barrel 1 and the tail pipe protection cap 3 is also fixed by the mechanical pressing mode, so that the stability of the optical fiber 7 when used in a high temperature environment is effectively improved.

[0033] Further, as shown in Figure 3 The metal adjusting part 9 is installed in the metal barrel 1, the center of the metal adjusting part 9 is provided with a through hole, one end of the optical fiber 7 towards the lens 4 is installed in the through hole in the metal adjusting part 9 through the ceramic ferrule 10, the ceramic ferrule 10 is flush with the lens 4 and the adjacent side end face of the metal adjusting part 9, and the other end of the ceramic ferrule 10 is located outside the corresponding side end face of the metal adjusting part 9.

[0034] In the above embodiment, in production, after the focal length parameters of the optical fiber collimator are confirmed by the designer, the distance between the front end of the optical fiber 7 and the installed lens 4 is known, and the position of the metal adjusting part 9 provided with the optical fiber 7 to be installed in the metal barrel 1 is also determined by the technician, so that the technician only needs to adjust and install the metal adjusting part 9 in the metal barrel 1 as required, and the distance between the front end of the optical fiber 7 on the metal adjusting part 9 and the lens 4 can meet the requirements of the focal length of the product. The through hole arranged in the metal adjusting part 9 can provide space for the installation of the ceramic ferrule 10, and the ceramic ferrule 10 is used to fix the optical fiber 7 in the metal adjusting part 9, which can effectively avoid the optical axis deviation caused by temperature change in a high temperature environment.

[0035] Further, as shown in Figure 3 The tapered self-locking assembly 8 includes a metal tail vertebra 81, the center of the metal tail vertebra 81 is provided with a wiring through hole, and the optical fiber 7 outside the end of the ceramic ferrule 10 away from the lens 4 is arranged in the wiring through hole;

[0036] The metal tail vertebra 81 is conical as a whole, the end of the metal tail vertebra 81 with a large diameter is towards the ceramic plug 10, the end of the metal tail vertebra 81 with a small diameter is inserted into the port of the tail pipe protection cap 3 away from the metal barrel body 1, the outside of the body of the metal tail vertebra 81 is sleeved with a tail vertebra locking nut 82 matched with the external contour shape of the metal tail vertebra 81, and rotating the tail vertebra locking nut 82 on the outside of the metal tail vertebra 81 can adjust the clamping state of the metal tail vertebra 81 to the optical fiber 7.

[0037] In the above embodiment, the metal tail vertebra 81 is conical as a whole, and a through hole is arranged at the center of the metal tail vertebra 81, the optical fiber 7 coming out of the ceramic plug 10 can pass through the through hole and be inserted into the metal tail vertebra 81, and when the tail vertebra locking nut 82 sleeved on the outside of the metal tail vertebra 81 moves towards the end of the metal tail vertebra 81 with a large diameter, the through hole in the metal tail vertebra 81 can be automatically contracted, so as to achieve the clamping and fixing effect to the optical fiber 7, and when the tail vertebra is retracted and the nut moves towards the end of the metal tail vertebra 81 with a small diameter, the through hole in the metal tail vertebra 81 can be reset under the action of the elastic force, so as to achieve the effect of loosening the optical fiber 7. The conical self-locking assembly 8 of this structure selected by the present application is a common self-locking clamp, for example, the device disclosed in the patent document with the application number 201721627813.9 is similar to the conical self-locking assembly 8 in the present application, therefore, some structural details and specific principles of the conical self-locking assembly 8 of the present application will not be repeated here. The present application can realize the mechanical clamping and fixing effect to the optical fiber 7 by screwing the tail vertebra locking nut 82 to extrude and contract the internal through hole of the metal tail vertebra 81, so that the trouble of using chemical adhesive materials can be avoided, and the stability of the structure of the optical fiber collimator when used in a high temperature environment can be improved.

[0038] Further, as shown in Figure 3 , the end of the metal tail vertebra 81 with a large diameter is provided with a circular positioning groove 11 with the same diameter as the ceramic plug 10, and the end of the ceramic plug 10 away from the lens 4 is inserted into the circular positioning groove 11.

[0039] In the above embodiment, the circular positioning groove 11 arranged on the metal tail vertebra 81 in the above manner can facilitate the technical personnel to quickly realize the effect of aligning the metal tail vertebra 81 and the circular positioning groove 11 by aligning the circular positioning groove 11 on the metal tail vertebra 81 with the ceramic plug 10 when assembling the optical fiber collimator, and the end of the metal tail vertebra 81 with a large diameter is sleeved on the ceramic plug 10, and the end with a small diameter is inserted into the port of the tail pipe protection cap 3 away from the metal barrel body 1, so that the metal tail vertebra 81 can obtain a stable supporting force in the optical fiber collimator.

[0040] Further, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the port of the tail pipe protection cap 3 away from the metal barrel body 1 is provided with a top wire 12 for fixing the metal tail vertebra 81.

[0041] In the above embodiment, the metal tail vertebra 81 can be inserted into the part of the tail pipe protection cap 3 away from the metal barrel 1 through the taphole 12 to limit and fix, so as to prevent the optical fiber collimator from shaking during use.

[0042] Further, the gap on the end away from each other of the metal barrel 1 and the tail pipe protection cap 3 is welded and packaged.

[0043] In the above embodiment, the metal barrel 1 is sealed with the protection cover 6 by welding packaging at the end away from the tail pipe protection cap 3, so as to ensure that the protection cover 6 will not be easily loosened after tightening, thereby avoiding the dust and moisture in the environment from entering the inside of the metal barrel 1. In actual use, a flat lens 4 can be fixed and installed on the compression ring 5, and the fixed compression ring 5 and the protection cover 6 are welded and packaged, so as to ensure that the light beam in the optical fiber collimator can be smoothly output, and also reduce the risk of dust and moisture entering the inside of the device from the gap between the compression ring 5 and the protection cover 6. The end of the tail pipe protection cap 3 away from the metal barrel 1, i.e. the position where the small diameter end of the metal tail vertebra 81 is inserted, is sealed by welding packaging after the metal tail vertebra 81 is fixed by the taphole 12, so as to prevent the dust and moisture in the environment from entering the inside of the device from the tail pipe protection cap 3, affecting the normal use of the device. The welding packaging method is used to process the gap in the device, which has higher reliability at high temperature than using chemical adhesive materials for plugging.

[0044] Further, as shown in Figures 1-3 The part of the optical fiber 7 extending out of the end of the tail pipe protection cap 3 away from the metal barrel 1 is sleeved with a metal threaded pipe 13, and one end of the metal threaded pipe 13 is fixedly connected with the tail pipe protection cap 3.

[0045] In the above embodiment, the bending stress of the optical fiber 7 can be dispersed to the outside of the device by the metal threaded pipe 13, thereby reducing the risk of the optical fiber 7 being bent at right angles during use.

[0046] Further, the optical fiber 7 is a gold optical fiber 7.

[0047] In the above embodiment, the gold optical fiber 7 is selected for the optical fiber 7 in the present application because the gold optical fiber 7 has a temperature resistance of up to 1000℃, and its stable working ability at high temperature is obviously better than that of ordinary optical fibers 7.

[0048] Further, the material of the lens 4 is fused quartz material.

[0049] In the above embodiment, the lens 4 material of the present application is selected to be fused quartz material because the lens 4 made of fused quartz material has excellent high temperature stability.

[0051] In the above embodiments, the materials of the mechanical structural parts in the device of the application are all high-temperature-resistant aluminum alloy, because the high-temperature-resistant aluminum alloy can withstand a temperature of 1200°C in actual use, and under this condition, the material does not release stress, does not deform, and does not produce an oxidation layer.

[0052] The implementation principle of the embodiment is as follows: when assembling the optical fiber collimator of the application, the lens 4 is first placed in the mounting slot 2 of the metal barrel 1, then the pressing ring 5 is placed outside the lens 4, and the protection cover 6 is buckled outside the pressing ring 5, and the lens 4 is fixed in the mounting slot of the metal barrel 1 by rotating the protection cover 6 to extrude the pressing ring 5. Next, the distance between the metal adjusting part 9 and the lens 4 in the metal barrel 1 is adjusted according to the focal length requirement of the optical fiber collimator and fixed, the circular positioning groove 11 on the end of the metal tail barrel 81 with a large diameter is sleeved on the ceramic plug 10 on the metal adjusting part 9, the optical fiber 7 is clamped by rotating the tail barrel locking nut 82, the tail pipe protection cap 3 and the metal barrel 1 are connected, the top screw 12 on the tail pipe protection cap 3 is adjusted to further fix the metal tail barrel 81, and finally the gaps on the device that may affect the sealing are welded and packaged. Compared with the prior art, the lens 4 and the optical fiber 7 in the tail pipe protection cap 3 in the application are clamped and fixed by mechanical means, and the use of chemical adhesive materials with poor performance stability in high-temperature environments is avoided, thereby ensuring that the optical fiber collimator of the application will not easily malfunction when used in high-temperature environments for a long time.

[0053] Through simulation of high-temperature conditions in a laboratory environment, high-temperature testing and high-temperature cycle testing are performed on the optical fiber collimator of the application, and it is actually verified that the optical fiber collimator of the application has sufficient stability and reliability even in an environment above 600°C.
