Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical cable connector technology, and in particular to a connector for optical cable installation. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous progress of the times and the development of the Internet, the use of optical fiber cables is becoming more and more frequent. Optical fiber cables are a type of communication line used to transmit optical signals. They are mainly composed of optical fibers (glass filaments as thin as a hair), plastic protective sleeves, and plastic outer sheaths. Nowadays, optical fiber connectors are mostly used to connect optical fibers.

[0003] Existing optical fiber cable connectors can be found in Chinese Utility Model Patent Publication No. CN221148969U. This utility model belongs to the field of optical fiber cable connectors, specifically a communication optical fiber cable connector, including a first connector, a second connector at the left end of the first connector, the second connector being fixedly connected to a set of connecting conduits, and another set of connecting conduits being fixedly connected to the first connector; a connecting component is provided at the front end of the first connector; the connecting component includes rotating knobs, and both sets of rotating knobs are fixedly connected to the bottom end of a first connecting rod. In this technical solution, the connection of the first and second connectors and the positioning and fixing of the cable are separate designs, and the overall connection involves multiple fixing points, resulting in insufficient convenience in operation. To improve this, a connector for optical fiber cable installation is proposed here. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a connector for optical cable installation.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A connector for installing optical cables includes a first connector and a second connector. Both the first and second connectors are equipped with connecting conduits. Multiple support plates are fixedly mounted on both the first and second connectors. A double-ended screw is rotatably mounted on each of the support plates. Two abutment brackets are threaded onto the double-ended screw. A rack is fixedly mounted on both the first and second connectors. The rack is connected to the double-ended screw via a rotating mechanism. A connecting cover is fixedly mounted on both the first and second connectors. A pressing groove is provided on the outer wall of the rack. A positioning block is provided within the pressing groove via a pressing mechanism. A positioning hole is provided on the connecting cover.

[0007] Preferably, the rotating mechanism includes a gear fixedly mounted on a double-ended screw, and the gear is correspondingly mounted to the rack.

[0008] Preferably, the extrusion mechanism includes a spring disposed in the extrusion groove, with both ends of the spring connected to the inner wall of the extrusion groove and the outer wall of the positioning block, respectively.

[0009] Preferably, a limiting rod is fixedly provided on the support plate, and the limiting rod is parallel to the double-ended screw and slides through the abutment frame.

[0010] Preferably, the top view of the abutment frame is L-shaped, and the front view of the abutment frame is Z-shaped.

[0011] Preferably, the abutment frame is provided with an arc-shaped contact groove, the inner wall of the contact groove is attached with a rubber pad, and the surface of the rubber pad is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. The positioning block and positioning hole work together to fix the connector, while the abutment frame clamps the optical cable. This double fixing method ensures the stability of the optical cable connection and effectively prevents the connector from loosening or the optical cable from falling off.

[0014] 2. During the connection process, the rack moves, driving the gear and double-ended screw to rotate, thereby achieving the optical cable clamping action of the connector. The whole process is simple to operate, and the actions of each component are linked, requiring no additional complicated operations, thus improving the efficiency of optical cable installation.

[0015] 3. The rubber pads on the inner wall of the contact groove of the abutment frame and the anti-slip texture on their surface can not only protect the outer wall of the optical cable and prevent damage to the optical cable during clamping, but also enhance the friction and achieve reliable anti-slip clamping of the optical cable.

[0016] 4. The components are arranged in a compact manner, with the rotating mechanism and the pressing mechanism cleverly combined to make full use of space. While ensuring functionality, the overall structure of the connector is simple, making it easy to install and maintain. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0023] Reference Figure 1-4 A connector for installing optical cables includes a first connector 1 and a second connector 2. Both the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 are equipped with connecting conduits 3. Both the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 are fixedly provided with multiple support plates 6. Double-ended screws 7 are rotatably provided on the multiple support plates 6. The double-ended screws 7 are threaded only on the part between the two support plates 6 at both ends. The double-ended screws 7 are connected to the support plates 6 by means of existing mature components such as bearing seats.

[0024] Two abutment brackets 4 are threaded on the double-ended screw 7. A rack 5 is fixed on both the first connector 1 and the second connector 2. The rack 5 is connected to the double-ended screw 7 through a rotating mechanism. A connecting cover 10 is fixed on both the first connector 1 and the second connector 2. A pressing groove 12 is provided on the outer wall of the rack 5. A positioning block 13 is provided in the pressing groove 12 through a pressing mechanism. A positioning hole 11 is provided on the connecting cover 10.

[0025] The rotating mechanism includes a gear 9 fixedly mounted on the double-ended screw 7, with the gear 9 corresponding to the rack 5. After the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 are connected, the rack 5 has moved a certain distance relative to the gear 9, at which point the rack 5 can drive the double-ended screw 7 to rotate by the gear 9.

[0026] The extrusion mechanism includes a spring 14 disposed within the extrusion groove 12, with both ends of the spring 14 connected to the inner wall of the extrusion groove 12 and the outer wall of the positioning block 13, respectively. The elastic potential energy provided by the spring 14 enables the extrusion operation of the positioning block 13, maintaining its stable position without external force intervention.

[0027] A limiting rod 8 is fixedly installed on the support plate 6. The limiting rod 8 is parallel to the double-ended screw 7 and slides through the abutment frame 4. The limiting rod 8 limits the abutment frame 4 and prevents it from rotating with the double-ended screw 7.

[0028] The top view of the abutment frame 4 is L-shaped, and the front view of the abutment frame 4 is Z-shaped. Please refer to the attached drawings for details. The above shape design is for better connection with the double-ended screw 7 and correspondence with the connecting conduit 3.

[0029] The contact frame 4 is provided with an arc-shaped contact groove that fits the shape of the outer wall of the optical cable. A rubber pad is attached to the inner wall of the contact groove, and the surface of the rubber pad is provided with anti-slip texture. The aforementioned rubber pad with anti-slip texture firstly protects the outer wall of the optical cable, and secondly achieves anti-slip clamping of the optical cable.

[0030] Components not specifically described in this utility model are all standard parts and can be purchased from the market. The specific connection methods for each component all employ mature methods from the prior art, and will not be detailed here. Content not described in detail in this specification belongs to prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0031] When this invention is in use, as the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 are connected, they move closer together, causing the rack 5 to gradually enter the connecting cover 10. During this process, the rack 5 meshes with the gear 9, and the movement of the rack 5 drives the gear 9 to rotate. Since the gear 9 is fixed on the double-ended screw 7, it drives the double-ended screw 7 to rotate. Because the limiting rod 8 slides through the abutment frame 4 to restrict its rotation, as the double-ended screw 7 rotates, the two abutment frames 4 move towards each other along the limiting rod 8. Utilizing the structure of the abutment frame 4 having an arc-shaped contact groove and an anti-slip rubber pad attached to the inner wall, the optical cable connected to the connecting conduit 3 is stably clamped.

[0032] At the same time, within the extrusion groove 12 on the outer wall of the rack 5, the spring 14 provides elastic potential energy to squeeze out the positioning block 13, which then engages with the positioning hole 11 of the connecting cover 10, thereby achieving a stable connection between the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 and ensuring the stability of the entire optical cable connection structure.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
