Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fiber optic collimator technology, specifically to a fiber optic collimator with pluggable fiber optic cable. Background Technology

[0002] An optical fiber collimator is an important component in fiber optic systems. It is mainly used to convert divergent light transmitted in an optical fiber into parallel light, or to couple parallel light into an optical fiber.

[0003] In existing technologies, fiber optic collimators are used in numerous scenarios. For example, in long-distance fiber optic transmission trunk lines, fiber optic collimators are used to connect different fiber optic cable segments, ensuring efficient coupling and transmission of optical signals and reducing signal attenuation. Within data centers, the cross-connection of numerous fiber optic lines and the fiber optic connections between devices all require collimators to ensure signal stability and support high-speed transmission of massive amounts of data.

[0004] However, due to limited cabling space, fiber optic lines often need to be tightly arranged around the collimator, which leads to mutual compression between the lines. In actual cabling, in order to save space, the optical fibers are bundled or compactly arranged in narrow cable trays. When they are connected to the collimator, this mutual compression force is transmitted to the collimator, forming additional lateral pressure. This lateral pressure may change the original tight fit between the collimator and the connection, causing the connection to gradually loosen. To address this, we propose a fiber optic collimator with pluggable optical fibers. Utility Model Content

[0005] One of the technical problems to be solved by this application is to make the collimator less prone to loosening after connection by adding a fixing structure to the collimator.

[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a fiber optic collimator with pluggable fiber optic cable, comprising: a pluggable mechanism, an indicator mechanism on the top side of the pluggable mechanism, the pluggable mechanism including a collimator body, a protrusion on the inner wall of the collimator body, the inner wall of the collimator body being slidably connected to the outer side of the protrusion, a lever at the bottom end of the protrusion, the bottom end of the protrusion being rotatably contacted with one end of the lever, an inner ring on the outer side of the lever, and the outer side of the lever being rotatably engaged with the inner side of the inner ring.

[0007] In some embodiments, the indicating mechanism includes a sub-rod, an outer ring is provided on the bottom side of the sub-rod, the bottom side of the sub-rod is fixedly connected to the top side of the outer ring, a mother rod is provided at one end of the sub-rod, one end of the sub-rod rotatably corresponds to one end of the mother rod, and the bottom side of the mother rod is fixedly connected to the top side of the collimator body.

[0008] In some embodiments, the outer side of the inner ring is fixedly connected to the inner side of the outer ring, and one side of the outer ring is rotatably connected to the outer side of the collimator body.

[0009] In some embodiments, a connecting rod is provided on the inner side of the collimator body, and the inner side of the collimator body is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod.

[0010] In some embodiments, a locking cavity is provided on the inner side of the outer ring, the inner side of the outer ring is fixedly connected to one end of the locking cavity, and the inner wall of the locking cavity is rotatably engaged with the outer side of the connecting rod.

[0011] In some embodiments, the outer side of the lever is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the collimator body.

[0012] In some embodiments, a socket is provided on the outer side of the collimator body, the outer side of the collimator body contacts the inner surface of the socket, a groove is provided on the inner wall of the socket, a guide rod is provided on the inner surface of the groove, the inner surface of the groove slides and fits into the outer side of the guide rod, and one end of the guide rod is fixedly connected to one side of the collimator body.

[0013] In some embodiments, the inner surface of the socket is provided with a positioning groove, and the inner surface of the positioning groove is slidably engaged with one end of the protrusion.

[0014] This utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. Place the collimator body into the socket, so that the collimator body and the socket fit together. Rotate the outer ring from 70 to 90 degrees. The inner ring will naturally rotate in the same way. The rotation of the inner ring will cause the lever to start rotating. Since the lever has a small diameter, the lever will gradually rotate from 10 degrees to 90 degrees. During this process, the protrusion on the lever will exert an external force on the protrusion, forcing the protrusion to slide out of the collimator body and lock into the positioning groove, thereby completing the connection between the collimator body and the socket. The engagement of the protrusion and the positioning groove can effectively resist external vibration and pulling.

[0016] 2. When the outer ring rotates to 90 degrees, a locking cavity is designed on the inner side of the outer ring, and a connecting rod is installed on the inner side of the collimator body. Therefore, when the outer ring rotates to a specific angle, the concave hole in the locking cavity will cover and lock the end of the connecting rod, so that the outer ring remains stationary after rotation. This ensures that the collimator body and the socket remain tightly and securely connected, greatly reducing the risk of loosening due to accidental external forces. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-6This utility model provides a technical solution: a fiber optic collimator with pluggable fiber optic cable, comprising: a pluggable mechanism 1, an indicator mechanism 2 on the top side of the pluggable mechanism 1, the pluggable mechanism 1 including a collimator body 11, a protrusion 12 on the inner wall of the collimator body 11, the inner wall of the collimator body 11 and the outer side of the protrusion 12 being slidably connected, a lever 13 at the bottom end of the protrusion 12 being rotatably contacted with one end of the lever 13, an inner ring 14 on the outer side of the lever 13, the outer side of the lever 13 being rotatably engaged with the inner side of the inner ring 14, the outer side of the inner ring 14 being fixedly connected to the inner side of the outer ring 15, one side of the outer ring 15 being rotatably connected to the outer side of the collimator body 11, a connecting rod 16 on the inner side of the collimator body 11, and the collimator body 11... The inner side is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 16. The inner side of the outer ring 15 is provided with a locking cavity 17. The inner side of the outer ring 15 is fixedly connected to one end of the locking cavity 17. The inner wall of the locking cavity 17 is rotatably engaged with the outer side of the connecting rod 16. The outer side of the lever 13 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the collimator body 11. The outer side of the collimator body 11 is provided with a socket 19. The outer side of the collimator body 11 is in contact with the inner surface of the socket 19. The inner wall of the socket 19 is provided with a sliding groove 111. The inner surface of the sliding groove 111 is provided with a guide rod 18. The inner surface of the sliding groove 111 is slidably engaged with the outer side of the guide rod 18. One end of the guide rod 18 is fixedly connected to one side of the collimator body 11. The inner surface of the socket 19 is provided with a positioning groove 110. The inner surface of the positioning groove 110 is slidably engaged with one end of the protrusion 12.

[0027] In use, this type of pluggable fiber optic collimator has a protrusion 12 designed into the outer shell of the collimator body 11, and a lever 13 is provided at the bottom of the protrusion 12. The end of the lever 13 is L-shaped. Therefore, by inserting the collimator body 11 into the socket 19, the collimator body 11 and the socket 19 are fitted together. At this time, an outer ring 15 is designed on the outside of the collimator body 11, and an inner ring 14 covers the inside of the outer ring 15. The inner ring 14 has teeth arranged in a circular array. At the same time, the outer side of the lever 13 also has the same teeth. Then, if the outer ring 15 needs to be rotated from 70 to 90 degrees, the inner ring 14 will naturally rotate in the same way. The rotation of the inner ring 14 will cause the lever 13 to start rotating. Since the diameter of the lever 13 is small, the lever 13 will gradually rotate from 10 degrees to 90 degrees. During this process, the lever 13... The protruding position will exert an external force on the protrusion 12, forcing the protrusion 12 to slide out from the collimator body 11 and engage with the positioning groove 110. The positioning groove 110 is opened inside the socket 19, thereby completing the connection between the collimator body 11 and the socket 19. Then, the collimator body 11 is removed from the socket 19, allowing the outer ring 15 to return to its original position. Naturally, the lever 13 returns to ten degrees, thus no longer exerting an external force on the protrusion 12, causing the protrusion 12 to disconnect from its support point and lose its ability to engage with the positioning groove 110. Because the end of the protrusion 12 is arc-shaped, a slight pull on the collimator body 11 to one end will cause the collimator body 11 to leave the socket 19. In this way, a tight and stable connection structure is formed. The engagement between the protrusion 12 and the positioning groove 110 can effectively resist external vibration, pulling and other external force interference.

[0028] A slide groove 111 is provided in the socket 19, and a guide rod 18 is installed on the collimator body 11. Therefore, when the collimator body 11 enters the socket 19, the guide rod 18 needs to be aligned with the slide groove 111 so that the collimator body 11 will not rotate randomly after entering the socket 19.

[0029] In addition, when the outer ring 15 rotates to ninety degrees, a locking cavity 17 is designed on the inner side of the outer ring 15, and a connecting rod 16 is installed on the inner side of the collimator body 11. Therefore, when the outer ring 15 rotates to a specific angle, the concave hole in the locking cavity 17 will cover and lock the port of the connecting rod 16, so that the outer ring 15 remains stationary after rotation. This ensures that the collimator body 11 and the socket 19 remain tight and stable after connection, greatly reducing the risk of loose connection and signal interruption due to accidental external force, and providing a solid and reliable physical connection guarantee for communication, sensing and other systems that rely on stable optical fiber transmission.

[0030] Example 2: Please refer to Figures 1-5The indicating mechanism 2 includes a sub-rod 21, an outer ring 15 is provided on the bottom side of the sub-rod 21, the bottom side of the sub-rod 21 is fixedly connected to the top side of the outer ring 15, a mother rod 22 is provided at one end of the sub-rod 21, one end of the sub-rod 21 and one end of the mother rod 22 are rotatably corresponding, and the bottom side of the mother rod 22 is fixedly connected to the top side of the collimator body 11.

[0031] A female rod 22 is installed on the collimator body 11, while a male rod 21 is designed on one side of the outer ring 15. When the male rod 21 corresponds to the female rod 22, it means that the current rotation position is at the correct angle. The accurate rotation angle is the key to ensuring that the collimator body 11 and the socket 19 fit perfectly and achieve good signal transmission. The design of the male rod 21 corresponding to the female rod 22 can accurately position the rotation position of the outer ring 15, so that the lever 13, the protrusion 12 and other structures move according to the predetermined design, ensuring that the protrusion 12 accurately engages in the positioning groove 110 of the socket 19 to achieve a tight connection. This precise connection method can minimize the deviation in the fiber optic connection process and greatly improve the overall work efficiency.

[0032] Please see Figures 1-6 Rotating the outer ring 15 from 70 to 90 degrees causes the inner ring 14 to rotate in the same way. This rotation of the inner ring 14 causes the lever 13 to begin rotating. Due to the smaller diameter of the lever 13, it gradually rotates from 10 degrees to 90 degrees. During this process, the protrusion on the lever 13 exerts external force on the protrusion 12, forcing it to slide out of the collimator body 11 and into the positioning groove 110. The positioning groove 110 is located inside the socket 19, thus completing the connection between the collimator body 11 and the socket 19. Removing the collimator body 11 from the socket 19 allows the outer ring 15 to return to its original position, naturally restoring the lever 13 to 10 degrees and preventing further rotation of the protrusion. The external force caused by block 12 causes the protrusion 12 to break the support point and lose the ability to engage with the positioning groove 110. Since the end of the protrusion 12 is arc-shaped, the collimator body 11 can be pulled away from the socket 19 by applying a little force. When the outer ring 15 rotates to ninety degrees, since there is a locking cavity 17 designed on the inner side of the outer ring 15 and a connecting rod 16 installed on the inner side of the collimator body 11, when the outer ring 15 rotates to a specific angle, the concave hole in the locking cavity 17 will cover and lock the end of the connecting rod 16, so that the outer ring 15 remains stationary after rotation, ensuring that the collimator body 11 and the socket 19 remain tightly and securely connected.

[0033] When the female rod 22 and the male rod 21 rotate to correspond, it means that the current rotation position is the correct angle. The accurate rotation angle is the key to ensuring that the collimator body 11 and the socket 19 fit perfectly and achieve good signal transmission. The design of the male rod 21 and the female rod 22 corresponding can accurately position the rotation position of the outer ring 15, so that the lever 13, the protrusion 12 and other structures are driven according to the predetermined design action.
