[0073] The features and performances of the MPO adapter suitable for one embodiment of the present application are described in further detail below in combination with the embodiments.
[0074] An embodiment one of the MPO adapter of the utility model, as Figures 1 to 26 shown, hereinafter referred to as adapter. The adapter includes two outer housings, two inner housings and two pairs of riveting sleeves 3, shaft sleeves 4. Two outer housings are outer housing I 1 and outer housing II 5 respectively, and two inner housings are inner housing I 2 and inner housing II 6 respectively.
[0075] Two inner housings are respectively inserted and nested in the corresponding outer housings, that is, inner housing I 2 is inserted in outer housing I 1, and inner housing II 6 is inserted in outer housing II 5, then the connecting ends of the two outer housings are butted, and the two outer housings are fixed through the riveting sleeves 3 and the shaft sleeves 4, so as to limit the inner housings in the outer housings, forming the MPO adapter.
[0076] Two inner housings are respectively used for plugging with the corresponding standard MPO plug or standard MPO socket, realizing the adapter plugging of MPO connector.
[0077] In the present embodiment, the structure size of outer housing I 1 is the same as that of outer housing II 5, and the structure size of inner housing I 2 is the same as that of inner housing II 6, which are described by taking outer housing I 1 and inner housing I 2 as examples.
[0078] Outer housing I 1 is provided with a square cavity 101 penetrating through itself along the plugging direction, and one of the inner walls of square cavity 101 is provided with a key groove I 102 extending along the plugging direction.
[0079] The connecting end of the outer shell body 11 is provided with a connecting flange 103, the connecting flange 103 protrudes from the outer wall of the outer shell body 11, the square cavity 101 penetrates through the connecting flange 103, and the connecting flange 103 is provided with a mounting hole 104. After the connecting ends of the two outer shell bodies are butted, a riveting sleeve 3 is sequentially inserted through the mounting holes 104 of the outer shell body 11 and the outer shell body 15, and a shaft sleeve 4 is sleeved and fixed at the tail of the riveting sleeve 3 after the riveting sleeve 3 is inserted through the mounting hole 104, so that the two outer shell bodies are fixed together. In this embodiment, two mounting holes 104 are symmetrically arranged on the connecting flange 103.
[0080] In this embodiment, the mounting hole 104 is a stepped hole, and the diameter of the hole section close to the connecting end face is smaller than the diameter of the hole section away from the connecting end face. The head of the riveting sleeve 3 is provided with a stop boss 301, and after the riveting sleeve 3 is inserted through the mounting hole 104 of the outer shell body 11, the stop boss 301 abuts on the step in the stepped hole. After the tail of the riveting sleeve 3 is inserted through the mounting hole 104 of the outer shell body 15, the shaft sleeve 4 is sleeved, and the shaft sleeve 4 abuts on the step in the mounting hole 104 of the outer shell body 15. By riveting the riveting sleeve 3 and the shaft sleeve 4 with a riveting tool, the connecting flanges 103 of the two outer shell bodies are fixed.
[0081] The riveting sleeve 3 is a hollow structure as a whole, and the shaft sleeve 4 is a circular ring. The inner hole of the shaft sleeve 4 includes two sections, namely, an inclined hole section 401 and a straight hole section 402. The diameter of the connection part between the inclined hole section 401 and the straight hole section 402 is equal to the diameter of the straight hole section 402. The diameter of the inclined hole section 401 gradually increases in the direction from inside to outside, forming a horn hole shape. When the shaft sleeve 4 is sleeved outside the tail of the riveting sleeve 3, the tail end of the riveting sleeve 3 is located in the inclined hole section 401. The tail of the riveting sleeve 3 is expanded using a riveting tool. The inclined hole section 401 provides a space for accommodating the tail of the riveting sleeve 3 and axially stops the riveting sleeve 3, preventing the shaft sleeve 4 from falling off the tail of the riveting sleeve 3, thereby avoiding the riveting sleeve 3 from being separated from the mounting hole 104.
[0082] The inner wall of the connecting end of the outer shell body 11 is provided with a stop step 105, which makes the square cavity 101 form two square cavity sections with different inner diameters. The inner diameter of the square cavity section close to the connecting end face is greater than that of the square cavity section away from the connecting end face.
[0083] The inner shell body 12 is provided with a plug-in cavity 205 penetrating through itself in the plug-in direction, for plugging in the MPO connector. The outer wall of the end portion of the inner shell body 12 away from the plug-in end is provided with an anti-falling step 201. The inner shell body 12 is plug-in nested in the outer shell body 11, and the anti-falling step 201 is stopped on the stop step 105 in the direction towards the plug-in end, avoiding the inner shell body 12 from falling out of the outer shell body 11 towards the plug-in end side.
[0084] After the two inner housings are inserted and nested in the corresponding outer housings, the two outer housings are butted, at this time, the end faces of the two inner housings away from the insertion end abut each other, and the anti-disengagement steps 201 of the two inner housings are nested between the two stop steps 105, so that the inner housings are axially limited in the two outer housings, ensuring that the inner housings do not disengage from the outer housings.
[0085] The outer wall of the inner housing 12 is provided with a key 202 extending in the insertion direction, after the inner housing 12 is nested in the outer housing 11, the key 202 is nested in the key groove 1102 of the outer housing 1. One of the inner walls of the insertion cavity 205 is provided with a key groove 2203, which is used to cooperate with the key on the outer wall of the insertion end of the corresponding MPO connector, so that the MPO connector is inserted and mounted in the inner housing 12 in the correct orientation.
[0086] In this embodiment, in order to make the wall thickness of the inner housing 12 as uniform as possible, the key groove 2203 is located on the inner wall corresponding to the position of the key 202.
[0087] The cooperation of the key groove 1102 and the key 202 plays a guiding role in the insertion and nesting of the inner housing 12 and the outer housing 11, and makes the inner housing 12 be inserted and nested in the outer housing 11 in the correct orientation.
[0088] In the prior art, two MPO connectors connected by an MPO adapter have special requirements for the orientation of the connection. The two outer housings are butted, the square cavities 101 in the two outer housings are connected to form an adapter square cavity, and the key grooves 1102 of the two outer housings are located on the two opposite inner side walls of the adapter square cavity; the two inner housings are butted, the insertion cavities 205 of the inner housings are connected to form an adapter insertion cavity. Since the inner housing is determined in orientation with the outer housing through key groove cooperation, the key grooves 2203 in the two inner housings are located on the two opposite inner walls of the adapter insertion cavity, which is consistent with the existing standard MPO adapter. When the standard MPO plug and MPO socket are connected through the adapter, the keys on the insertion end of the MPO plug and MPO socket cooperate with the corresponding key grooves 2203, so that the MPO plug and MPO socket are correctly connected.
[0089] The size of the insertion end of the inner housing 12 is basically the same as the size of the interface of the existing standard MPO adapter. The insertion end of the inner housing 12 is provided with two elastic claws 204 on both sides. The two elastic claws 204 are arranged in the notches of the two side walls of the insertion end of the inner housing 12 and extend towards the insertion end. The elastic claws 204 can be used to lock the MPO plug and MPO socket on the adapter.
[0090] After the adapter is assembled, since the riveting sleeve 3 is a hollow structure, the adapter can be fixed on the equipment by using the hole of the riveting sleeve 3.
