[0023] 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.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, this utility model provides a quick-connect plug-in non-fusion splice optical cable connector, including a first cable 1 and a second cable 2. A first connector 3 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the first cable 1. A positioning groove 4 is provided on the first connector 3. A rotating groove 5 is provided at the other end of the positioning groove 4. An installation plate 7 is fixedly connected inside the rotating groove 5. A spring 8 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the installation plate 7. A top block 9 is fixedly connected to the other end of the spring 8. A first sealing ring 12 is fixedly connected inside the first connector 3. A slot 13 is provided on the first sealing ring 12. A second connector 10 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the second cable 2. A positioning block 11 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the second connector 10. A sealing sheet 14 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the second connector 10. A second sealing ring 15 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the sealing sheet 14. A top ring 16 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the second sealing ring 15.

[0025] Specifically, the rotating groove 5 is provided with a slot 6, and the mounting plate 7 is located in the slot 6 for installing the top block 9 connection structure.

[0026] Furthermore, the positioning block 11 is slidably connected to the positioning groove 4 and the rotating groove 5. The positioning block 11 is first inserted into the positioning groove 4 and slid. After sliding to the bottom of the positioning groove 4, the second cable 2 and the second connector 10 are rotated. At this time, the positioning block 11 presses the top block 9 and passes through the top block 9 to the other side of the top block 9. At this time, the positioning block 11 is located in the rotating groove 5 and the top block 9 fixes the positioning block 11 in the rotating groove 5, thereby completing the splicing of the first cable 1 and the second cable 2.

[0027] Furthermore, the positioning block 11 is movably connected to the top block 9, and one side of the top block 9 is inclined.

[0028] It is worth noting that the first cable 1 is connected to the second cable 2 through the first connector 3 and the second connector 10, and the first connector 3 and the second connector 10 are detachable.

[0029] It is worth noting that the second sealing ring 15 is movably connected to the groove 13, and the top ring 16 is movably connected to the groove 13 for sealing.

[0030] It is worth mentioning that the top ring 16 is smaller than the slot 13.

[0031] It is worth emphasizing that a pull rod 17 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the top block 9, and a handle 18 is fixedly connected to the other end of the pull rod 17. A sealing element is provided at the connection between the pull rod 17 and the mounting plate 7 and the first connector 3. An opening is provided on the mounting plate 7 and the first connector 3. The opening is used for the movement of the pull rod 17, and the connection between the pull rod 17 and the opening is sealed by the sealing element.

[0032] The device's "front, back, left, and right" perspectives are... Figure 1 The direction shown in the diagram is the reference.

[0033] Working principle: In use, first insert the second connector 10 of the second cable 2 into the first connector 3. Then, slide the positioning block 11 on the second connector 10 into the positioning groove 4. After sliding to the bottom of the positioning groove 4, rotate the second cable 2 and the second connector 10. At this time, the positioning block 11 presses against the top block 9 and passes through the top block 9 to the other side of the top block 9. The positioning block 11 is now located in the rotating groove 5, and the top block 9 fixes the positioning block 11 in the rotating groove 5, thus completing the splicing and installation of the first cable 1 and the second cable 2. After completion, sealant tape is wrapped around the joints and any gaps. To disassemble, pull the lever 17 and handle 18, then rotate the second cable 2 and pull it out. During the installation of the first cable 1 and the second cable 2, the top ring 16 on the second connector 10 is inserted into the groove 13 on the first sealing ring 12. As the second cable 2 and the second connector 10 are further inserted, the second sealing ring 15 is squeezed into the groove 13, thus sealing the cable. The sealing effect is ensured by the first sealing ring 12, the sealing sheet 14, and the second sealing ring 15.
