In this specification, illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiments or examples. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the device includes two support rings 1, which fit together to form a circular groove 11. A silicone plug 2 is inserted into the circular groove 11. The silicone plug 2 has a through hole 21, and groove holes 22 are provided around the through hole 21. A first rotating member 3 and a second rotating member 4 are inserted into the bottom ends of the silicone plug 2. The first rotating member 3 and the second rotating member 4 are connected by a snap fastener. Both the first rotating member 3 and the second rotating member 4 are provided with multiple limiting posts 5. The support ring 1 is provided with multiple limiting grooves 12. A protruding post 13 is provided on the side of the limiting groove 12 away from the support ring 1. The limiting post 5 passes through the corresponding groove hole 22 and is inserted into the corresponding limiting groove 12. The inner side of the limiting post 5 is close to the protruding post 13. Multiple second protrusions 14 are provided on the side of the support ring 1 away from the silicone plug 2. A first cap 6 and a second cap 7 are provided on the outer side of the first rotating member 3 and the second rotating member 4. The first cap 6 is provided with an I-shaped protrusion. Package 61, the second cap 7 is provided with an I-shaped groove 71, the I-shaped protrusion 61 is inserted into the I-shaped groove 71; the first rotating member 3 and the second rotating member 4 are both provided with external threads 31, the first cap 6 and the second cap 7 are both provided with internal threads 62, the first cap 6 and the second cap 7 are engaged with the first rotating member 3 and the second rotating member 4; by rotating the assembled caps to adjust their positions in the two rotating members, when it is necessary to disassemble the fiber optic connector, after the first cap 6 and the second cap 7 that are inserted and connected are removed from the first rotating member 3 and the second rotating member 4, the first rotating member 3 and the second rotating member 4 can be removed from the silicone plug 2, and finally the two support rings 1 are removed from the silicone plug 2, thereby completing the disassembly, and the fiber optic connector can be quickly disassembled without the use of tools; wherein the first cap 6 and the second cap 7, and the first rotating member 3 and the second rotating member 4 are all detachably connected, which facilitates disassembly and assembly in different positions.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the outer side of the support ring 1 is provided with multiple first protrusions 15 to increase the friction generated during rotation; the outer sides of the first cap 6 and the second cap 7 are provided with multiple positioning posts 63; the silicone plug 2 is made of soft material; the first rotating member 3 and the second rotating member 4 are both provided with heads 32, which abut against the outside of the silicone plug 2 to facilitate the disassembly of the first rotating member 3 and the second rotating member 4 inside the silicone plug 2; the outer diameter of the circular groove 11 is smaller than the outer diameter of the silicone plug 2 to improve the sealing performance of the silicone plug 2.

[0027] Working principle: The support ring 1 has four limiting grooves 12, which cooperate with the first rotating part 3 and the second rotating part 4 respectively, providing good support and making it difficult to disengage when tightened with the internal threads 62 of the first cap 6 and the second cap 7; the silicone plug 2 also has four evenly distributed groove holes 22 for the insertion of the first rotating part 3 and the second rotating part 4; the internal thread 62 and the external thread 31 are both sawtooth threads to prevent disengagement due to excessive resistance when compressing the rubber plug during tightening.

[0028] In use, the optical cable is inserted into the hole of the silicone plug 2, and then the silicone plug 2 is inserted into the first cap 6 and the second cap 7. It is then inserted by rotating the internal threads 62 inside the two caps clockwise. When it is rotated in, the first rotating part 3 and the second rotating part 4 will press the silicone plug 2 downward, thereby reducing the inner hole of the silicone plug 2 and expanding its outer diameter to achieve the effect of sealing and blocking water.

[0029] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
