[0027] As shown in the combination Figure 1 The utility model discloses a kind of cabin-penetrating airtight optical fiber branchers 100, it can be fixed to cabin wall 200, so that optical fiber can pass through cabin wall 200, while realizing the function of beam splitting, from one bundle into multiple bundles, and without adding the separation surface of optical fiber.

[0028] As shown in the combination Figures 2 to 5 Cabin-penetrating airtight optical fiber brancher 100 includes female head screw sleeve 10, male head screw sleeve 20, sealing structure 30 and nut 40.

[0029] Wherein female head screw sleeve 10 and male head screw sleeve 20 can be connected or separated by thread structure, when female head screw sleeve 10 and male head screw sleeve 20 are separated, the sheath of optical fiber bundle needing to be penetrated into cabin can be peeled off first, the aramid fiber covering the outside of multiple optical fiber cores is exposed, after coating sealing glue on the outside of aramid fiber, female head screw sleeve 10 and male head screw sleeve 20 are connected together, by coating sealing glue on the outside of aramid fiber, the cable filled between female head screw sleeve 10 and male head screw sleeve 20 realizes the function of fixation and sealing.

[0030] As shown in the combination Figure 3 The outer wall of female head screw sleeve 10 is provided with shielding ring 13, sealing structure 30 is connected to one side of shielding ring 13, nut 40 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of female head screw sleeve 10, installation groove is formed between nut 40 and shielding ring 13, by adjusting the position of nut 40 on the surface of female head screw sleeve 10, the width of installation groove can be adjusted, to adapt to cabin wall 200 of different thickness.

[0031] Specifically, the outer wall of female head screw sleeve 10 is provided with external thread, nut 40 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of female head screw sleeve 10 from the second end of female head screw sleeve 10.

[0032] The surface of the bulkhead 200 is provided with an opening, the female threaded sleeve 10 is installed into the opening, and the nut 40 is installed from the inside of the bulkhead 200 to fix the female threaded sleeve 10 to the bulkhead 200.

[0033] In an optional embodiment, the shielding ring 13 has a groove on the side facing the nut 40, and the sealing structure 30 includes a sealing ring that is engaged in the groove.

[0034] Thus, the outer side of the bulkhead 200 is sealed by a sealing ring, and the inner side is tightened by a nut 40, so that the female threaded sleeve 10 is fixed to the surface of the bulkhead 200.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, the first end of the female threaded sleeve 10 is provided with a threaded connection section 11, and the second end of the female threaded sleeve 10 is provided with a cable exit section 12, which has multiple cable exit holes 121. The first end of the male threaded sleeve 20 is detachably connected to the threaded connection section 11 of the female threaded sleeve 10, and the second end of the male threaded sleeve 20 is used for cable insertion.

[0036] The number of cable exit holes 121 varies from 2 to 6, depending on the number of optical fiber cores inside the cable.

[0037] Specifically, the male threaded sleeve 20 has a cable insertion hole, and a potting cavity is formed between the cable insertion hole and the cable exit hole 121. The potting cavity is filled with sealant to fix the cable inside the potting cavity.

[0038] In this way, the cables are directly connected through potting, avoiding optical path conversion, reducing the number of two docking connectors, effectively reducing weight and link loss, and improving transmission stability.

[0039] In a specific embodiment, the cable sheath is removed, the male threaded sleeve 20 is fitted onto the outer wall of the cable, a sealant such as DG-3 adhesive is applied to the exposed aramid yarn surface, the optical fiber core is inserted into the corresponding cable exit hole 121 and extended to the inside of the bulkhead 200, and then the male threaded sleeve 20 is connected to the female threaded sleeve 10.

The fiber optic cable exits through the cable exit hole 121. The distance between the exit point and the compartment wall 200 is short, allowing for more space to connect other equipment. It avoids the fiber optic cable bending radius being too small. The fiber optic cable is branched simultaneously during the insertion process, which facilitates signal distribution at the insertion point. It greatly reduces space occupation and wiring interference, and is especially suitable for environments with compact space, severe vibration, and strong impact.

[0044] It can be understood that when the cable is in the first penetrating hole 21, the outer diameter of the cable is equal to the inner diameter of the first penetrating hole 21, the model of the male threaded sleeve 20 can be matched with appropriate parameters according to the outer diameter of the cable, the cable is at the second penetrating hole 22, the sheath layer is stripped off, and this place is aramid yarn and filled glue, the cable is in the glue pouring cavity, the sheath layer is stripped off, and this place is aramid yarn and filled glue, it can be seen that the glue pouring cavity and the second penetrating hole 22 are both mixtures of glue and aramid yarn, on the basis of ensuring the sealing, the step structure formed after the glue solidifies is matched with the step cavity formed by the second penetrating hole 22 and the glue pouring cavity, and has good tensile property.

[0045] In specific embodiments, the male threaded sleeve 20 is provided with an external threaded connection structure at one end of the female threaded sleeve 10, the threaded connection section 11 is an internal threaded connection structure, and the external threaded connection structure is connected to the inner side of the internal threaded connection structure.

[0046] In this way, the male threaded sleeve 20 can be fixed to one end of the female threaded sleeve 10 through threaded connection.

[0047] Preferably, the entrance of the first penetrating hole 21 is provided with a rounded corner, so that when the cable is bent on the outside of the male threaded sleeve 20, stress concentration is not easy to occur at the first penetrating hole 21.
