[0023] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This utility model provides an embodiment of an optical fiber connector with a protective shell, including a first connecting shell 1, a connecting cylinder 2 fixedly connected inside the first connecting shell 1, a limiting cylinder 3 fixedly connected inside the connecting cylinder 2, the outer wall of the limiting cylinder 3 fixedly connected inside the first connecting shell 1, a locking block 4 slidably connected inside the limiting cylinder 3, a spring 5 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the locking block 4, the outer wall of the spring 5 slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting cylinder 3, a connector head 6 slidably connected to the outer wall of the locking block 4, the outer wall of the connector head 6 slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting cylinder 2, a limiting hole 7 is opened inside the first connecting shell 1, the outer wall of the connector head 6 slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting hole 7, and a connecting component is provided on the outer wall of the connector head 6 for transmitting signals.

[0025] Specifically, by moving the protective sleeve 8, the connector 6 is inserted into the limiting hole 7. The protective sleeve 8 is made of soft rubber, which slides in the limiting hole 7 and fits tightly against its inner wall, thus providing a dustproof and waterproof effect. At this time, the connector 6 slides in the connecting cylinder 2 and squeezes the locking block 4, which in turn makes the locking block 4 slide in the limiting cylinder 3 and squeezes the spring 5. Under the rebound of the spring 5, the locking block 4 is locked in the connector 6, thereby enhancing the ease of connection of the connector 6.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The connecting component includes a protective sleeve 8, the outer wall of which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connector 6, and an optical fiber 9 is fixedly connected inside the protective sleeve 8; the outer wall of the protective sleeve 8 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting hole 7, and the outer wall of the optical fiber 9 is fixedly connected to the inside of the connector 6.

[0027] Specifically, the protective sleeve 8 is made of soft rubber, which has good flexibility and elasticity, effectively absorbing and dispersing external impacts to protect the optical fiber 9 from physical damage. In complex and variable installation environments, such as confined spaces, vibrating environments, or applications requiring frequent movement, the soft rubber protective sleeve 8 can significantly reduce the loss of optical fibers caused by bending, squeezing, or stretching, ensuring stable transmission of optical signals. The protective sleeve 8 can slide within the limiting hole 7, thereby allowing the position of the connector 6 to be adjusted within a certain range, ensuring precise alignment between the optical fiber 9 and the connector 6.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The first connecting shell 1 is internally threaded with a first threaded block 10, and the outer wall of the first threaded block 10 is in contact with the outer wall of the connecting cylinder 2; the outer wall of the first threaded block 10 is fixedly connected with a handle 11, and the outer wall of the handle 11 is in contact with the outer wall of the first connecting shell 1; the outer wall of the handle 11 is fixedly connected with a second threaded block 12; the outer wall of the second threaded block 12 is threadedly connected with a second connecting shell 13; the outer wall of the second connecting shell 13 is in contact with the outer wall of the handle 11.

[0029] Specifically, by screwing the first connecting shell 1 onto the first threaded block 10, and similarly screwing the second connecting shell 13 onto the second threaded block 12, the connection stability of the connector 6 is enhanced through the connection action of the handle 11 and the support action of the first connecting shell 1 and the second connecting shell 13. This simplifies the assembly and disassembly process of the fiber optic connector and improves work efficiency. The connection of the first threaded block 10, the handle 11, and the second threaded block 12 ensures that the connecting parts of the fiber optic connector will not loosen or shift when subjected to external force or vibration, thereby maintaining stable transmission of optical signals and reducing signal attenuation caused by unstable connection.

[0030] Working principle: When the connector is needed, first push the protective sleeve 8 to drive the connector head 6 into the limiting hole 7. At this time, the connector head 6 slides in the connecting cylinder 2 and squeezes the locking block 4. This causes the locking block 4 to slide in the limiting cylinder 3 and squeeze the spring 5. Under the rebound of the spring 5, the locking block 4 can be locked in the connector head 6, thus enhancing the convenience of connecting the connector head 6. Hold the handle 11 and then screw the first connecting shell 1 onto the first threaded block 10. Similarly, screw the second connecting shell 13 onto the second threaded block 12. With the handle 11 connected, the first connecting shell 1 and the second threaded block 12 are simultaneously engaged. Supported by the connecting shell 13, the stability of the connection to the connector 6 is enhanced. This connector not only improves the ease of connection to the connector 6, allowing operators to complete the installation and removal of the fiber optic connector more quickly, thus improving overall work efficiency, but also enhances the stability of the connection to the connector 6. This ensures efficient transmission of optical signals between optical fibers, reduces signal attenuation and loss caused by unstable connections, thereby improving the quality of signal transmission. At the same time, it reduces connector wear caused by frequent connection and removal, thus extending the service life of the fiber optic connector.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
