Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of optical network technology, and specifically relates to a multi-interface optical module connector. Background Technology

[0002] Multi-interface optical module connectors refer to optical module connectors with multiple independent optical signal channels, capable of processing multiple optical signals simultaneously to meet the application scenarios requiring high density and high bandwidth. By integrating parallel optical channels (such as 4, 12 or even more) within the physical interface (slot), multiple signals can be transmitted simultaneously, improving data throughput. This is equivalent to merging multiple optical fibers into a high-density interface, thereby achieving parallel transmission of "multi-interface". This design can fit more network ports into a limited space, saving equipment volume.

[0003] In the existing technology, the socket of the multi-interface optical module connector adopts an open design and lacks physical shielding, which exposes the internal optical or electronic components to the outside, making them prone to dust accumulation, resulting in optical power attenuation or bit errors. Traditional dust caps use friction plugging and unplugging, which are easy to lose during use and are difficult to reuse. This not only wastes materials but also leads to increased costs in the long run. Furthermore, after the optical module is connected to the light beam, it is impossible to continue to protect the connection between the two. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-interface optical module connector that achieves dual dustproof sealing through the following structure: when the optical fiber connection end is not connected, the magnetic ring forms a magnetic attraction with the connector body, and the insert plate and the through hole are movable and fitted together to pre-seal the socket; when the optical fiber connection end is inserted, the magnetic ring continues to attract and fix it, while the elastic pad forms an elastic matching seal with the surface of the optical fiber connection end; this can effectively prevent optical power attenuation and bit error rate, and the dust cover achieves anti-detachment function through sliding connection with the pull plate, which not only ensures the recycling of components and avoids loss, but also reduces material consumption.

[0005] The specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A multi-interface optical module connector includes a pull plate fixedly disposed at the interface end of the optical module connector. A dust cover is slidably connected to the inner side of the pull plate. A magnetic ring is fixedly connected to the periphery of the opening end of the dust cover. A through groove is formed through the side wall of the dust cover. Two sealing plates are symmetrically slidably connected to the inner side wall of the dust cover. The sealing plates are disposed inside the through groove. A semi-circular through hole is formed in the middle of each sealing plate. A press-to-open mechanism is provided inside the dust cover. An insert plate is flexibly connected to the side wall of the dust cover for movably engaging with the through hole.

[0007] The interface end of the optical module connector is movably plugged into an optical fiber connection end, and the dust cover is used to cover the optical fiber connection end.

[0008] The pressing and opening mechanism is used to control the opening and closing of the sealing plate to allow the optical fiber connection end to pass through, and includes: L-shaped rods are symmetrically slidably connected to the upper and lower sides of the dust cover, and one end of the upper L-shaped rod is fixedly connected to the lower sealing plate by a fastening bolt.

[0009] One end of the L-shaped rod below is fixedly connected to the sealing plate above by a fastening bolt, and the two mutually perpendicular and parallel L-shaped rods are elastically connected by a spring column.

[0010] The dust cover has pressure plates on both the upper and lower sides that are fixedly connected to the L-shaped rod.

[0011] The two perforations combine to form a complete circular through hole, and an elastic pad is fixedly connected to the inner edge of the perforation.

[0012] The technical effects achieved by this utility model are as follows: Double dustproof sealing is achieved through the following structure: When the optical fiber connection end is not connected, the magnetic ring and the connector body form a magnetic adsorption, which, together with the movable fitting of the insert plate and the perforation, pre-seals the socket; when the optical fiber connection end is inserted, the magnetic ring continues to adsorb and fix it, while the elastic pad forms an elastic matching seal with the surface of the optical fiber connection end; This can effectively prevent optical power attenuation and bit error, and the dust cover achieves the anti-detachment function through the sliding connection with the pull plate, which not only ensures the recycling of components and avoids loss, but also reduces material consumption.

[0018] To make the objectives and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific embodiments of this utility model and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by this utility model.

[0019] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a multi-interface optical module connector includes a pull plate 101 fixedly disposed at the interface end of an optical module connector 1. An optical fiber connector 113 is movably inserted into the interface end of the optical module connector 1. A dust cover 102 is slidably connected to the inner side of the pull plate 101, covering the optical fiber connector 113. A magnetic ring 103 is fixedly connected to the periphery of the opening end of the dust cover 102. A through groove 104 is formed through the side wall of the dust cover 102. Two sealing plates 105 are symmetrically slidably connected to the inner side wall of the dust cover 102, located inside the through groove 104. A semi-circular through hole 106 is formed in the center of each sealing plate 105. A pressing and opening mechanism is provided inside the dust cover 102 to control the sealing plates 105. The dust cover 102 is designed to allow the fiber optic connector 113 to pass through. It includes: L-shaped rods 108 symmetrically slidably connected to both the upper and lower sides of the dust cover 102; one end of the upper L-shaped rod 108 is fixedly connected to the lower sealing plate 105 via a fastening bolt 109; one end of the lower L-shaped rod 108 is fixedly connected to the upper sealing plate 105 via a fastening bolt 109; two mutually perpendicular and parallel L-shaped rods 108 are elastically connected via spring posts 110; pressure plates 111 are fixedly connected to the L-shaped rods 108 on both the upper and lower sides of the dust cover 102; and a flexible insert 112 is flexibly connected to the side wall of the dust cover 102 for movably engaging with the perforation 106. The two perforations 106 combine to form a complete circular through hole, and an elastic pad 107 is fixedly connected to the inner edge of the perforation 106.

[0020] According to the above structure, the dust cover 102 is slidably connected to the inner side of the pull plate 101, which can make it form a whole with the optical module connector 1 to prevent it from falling off and being lost. When the optical fiber connection end 113 is not connected to the socket of the optical module connector 1, the dust cover 102 is magnetically attracted to the interface end of the optical module connector 1 through the magnetic ring 103. At the same time, the insert 112 is embedded in the through hole 106 to form a sealed dustproof. The insert 112 and its connecting strip can be made of rubber, silicone, plastic, etc., and support elastic deformation.

[0021] Furthermore, when the fiber optic connector 113 needs to be connected to the socket of the optical module connector 1, the dust cover 102 is slid to one end of the pull plate 101, the magnetic ring 103 is disengaged from the optical module connector 1, and the upper and lower pressure plates 111 are pressed simultaneously with the fingers. The upper pressure plate 111 drives the lower sealing plate 105 to descend through the L-shaped rod 108, and the lower pressure plate 111 drives the upper sealing plate 105 to move upward through the L-shaped rod 108. The two sealing plates 105 slide in opposite directions, the insert 112 is no longer engaged by the through hole 106 and hangs down. At the same time, the spring column 110 begins to stretch. After the sealing plate 105 slides, it no longer blocks the through slot 104.

[0022] Furthermore, the fiber optic connector 113 is passed through the slot 104 to the inside of the dust cover 102. Then, the pressure plate 111 is released, and the spring force of the spring column 110 drives the two sealing plates 105 to move closer and reset. At this time, the connector of the fiber optic connector 113 is locked in the hole 106. The elastic pad 107 can be made of, but is not limited to, silicone or rubber, and can adapt to different cable diameters to make the elastic pad 107 fit against the cable surface, eliminating gaps and preventing dust from entering. Then, the fiber optic connector 113 is inserted into the socket of the optical module connector 1, and the dust cover 102 is slid to make the magnetic ring 103 magnetically fix the optical module connector 1.

[0023] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: the dust cover 102 is slidably connected to the inner side of the pull plate 101, which can make it form a whole with the optical module connector 1 to prevent it from falling off and being lost. When the optical fiber connection end 113 is not connected to the socket of the optical module connector 1, the dust cover 102 is magnetically attracted to the interface end of the optical module connector 1 through the magnetic ring 103. At the same time, the insert 112 is embedded in the through hole 106 to form a sealed dustproof. The insert 112 and its connecting strip can be made of rubber, silicone, plastic, etc., and support elastic deformation.

[0024] Furthermore, when the fiber optic connector 113 needs to be connected to the socket of the optical module connector 1, the dust cover 102 is slid to one end of the pull plate 101, the magnetic ring 103 is disengaged from the optical module connector 1, and the upper and lower pressure plates 111 are pressed simultaneously with the fingers. The upper pressure plate 111 drives the lower sealing plate 105 to descend through the L-shaped rod 108, and the lower pressure plate 111 drives the upper sealing plate 105 to move upward through the L-shaped rod 108. The two sealing plates 105 slide in opposite directions, the insert 112 is no longer engaged by the through hole 106 and hangs down. At the same time, the spring column 110 begins to stretch. After the sealing plate 105 slides, it no longer blocks the through slot 104.

[0025] Furthermore, the fiber optic connector 113 is passed through the slot 104 to the inside of the dust cover 102. Then, the pressure plate 111 is released, and the spring force of the spring column 110 drives the two sealing plates 105 to move closer and reset. At this time, the connector of the fiber optic connector 113 is locked in the hole 106. The elastic pad 107 can be made of, but is not limited to, silicone or rubber, and can adapt to different cable diameters to make the elastic pad 107 fit against the cable surface, eliminating gaps and preventing dust from entering. Then, the fiber optic connector 113 is inserted into the socket of the optical module connector 1, and the dust cover 102 is slid to make the magnetic ring 103 magnetically fix the optical module connector 1.

It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
