Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical fiber connection technology, and specifically to a multi-core optical fiber connector. Background Technology

[0002] Multicore fiber is a type of optical fiber with multiple fiber cores. Unlike traditional single-core fiber, multiple independent fiber cores are arranged within the same fiber cladding. Each fiber core can transmit optical signals; therefore, multicore fiber can transmit multiple signals simultaneously within the same fiber, thus improving transmission efficiency and bandwidth. Multicore fiber is often spliced ​​using connectors.

[0003] The multi-core fiber optic connector disclosed in announcement number CN202904070U, although it solves the problem of easy damage to the optical fiber due to direct branching of two-core optical cables at the branch point, and is simple and convenient to install.

[0004] However, this multi-core fiber optic connector has the following disadvantages: the connector uses a threaded connection, and frequent disassembly and assembly can easily cause thread wear, resulting in an unstable connection and a short service life. In addition, the threaded connection is also prone to loosening when subjected to external vibration, leading to poor connector contact. Utility Model Content

In addition, the threaded connection is also prone to loosening when subjected to external vibration, leading to poor contact of the connector.

[0006] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A multi-core fiber optic connector includes a male connector, a telescopic mechanism fixedly disposed on the surface of the male connector, a positioning sleeve fixedly disposed at one end of the telescopic mechanism, a connector terminal fixedly disposed on one side of the male connector, sliding holes being formed around the surface of the connector terminal, a locking post being slidably disposed inside the sliding holes, a mating groove being formed on the inner wall of the connector terminal, a mating terminal being inserted into the mating groove, a sealing component being sleeved on the surface of the mating terminal, and a female connector fixedly disposed on one side of the mating terminal.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the telescopic mechanism includes a fixed tube, a telescopic tube, and a spring.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model: one end of the male connector is electrically connected to a multi-core optical fiber A, and one end of the female connector is electrically connected to a multi-core optical fiber B.

[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the number of telescopic mechanisms is four sets, the four sets of telescopic mechanisms are distributed in a rectangular array, and the positioning sleeve is slidably disposed on the surface of the connecting terminal.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a multi-core fiber optic connector includes a male connector 1, a telescopic mechanism 2 fixedly disposed on the surface of the male connector 1, a positioning frame 3 fixedly disposed at one end of the telescopic mechanism 2, a connector terminal 4 fixedly disposed on one side of the male connector 1, and sliding holes formed around the surface of the connector terminal 4. Locking pins 5 are slidably disposed inside the sliding holes. Through the positioning frame 3 and locking pins 5, when connecting the connector terminal 4 and the mating terminal 6, the positioning frame 3 is first pulled open, and the mating terminal 6 is inserted into the mating groove of the connector terminal 4. The mating terminal 6 will push up the bottom of the locking pins 5, releasing the positioning frame 3. The reaction force of the spring 203 causes the positioning frame 3 to slide above the locking pins 5, limiting and fixing multiple locking pins 5. This achieves the effect of quickly connecting multi-core optical fibers and also facilitates quick disconnection, making it convenient to use.

[0026] The inner wall of the connecting terminal 4 is provided with a mating groove, and the mating terminal 6 is inserted into the mating groove. The surface of the mating terminal 6 is fitted with a sealing component 7. Through the setting of the sealing component 7, the rubber gasket 701 and the silicone gasket 702 are fitted onto the surface of the mating terminal 6. After the mating terminal 6 and the connecting terminal 4 are locked together, the rubber gasket 701 and the silicone gasket 702 seal the connection. Furthermore, the silicone gasket 702 will fill any gaps that may exist due to its good flexibility when compressed, thus achieving a good sealing effect at the connection of the multi-core optical fiber, which is convenient for dust and water prevention. A mating female end 8 is fixedly provided on one side of the mating terminal 6.

[0027] like Figure 3As shown, the telescopic mechanism 2 includes a fixed tube 201, a telescopic tube 202 and a spring 203. The fixed tube 201 is fixedly disposed on the surface of the connecting male end 1, the telescopic tube 202 is slidably disposed inside the fixed tube 201, and the spring 203 is sleeved on the surface of the fixed tube 201.

[0028] The telescopic mechanism 2 facilitates the telescopic movement of the positioning frame 3.

[0029] like Figure 5 As shown, the sealing assembly 7 includes a rubber gasket 701 and a silicone gasket 702. The rubber gasket 701 is fitted onto the surface of the mating terminal 6, and the silicone gasket 702 is fixedly disposed on one side of the rubber gasket 701.

[0030] With the sealing component 7, after the mating terminal 6 and the connecting terminal 4 are clamped together, the rubber gasket 701 and the silicone gasket 702 seal the connection. Furthermore, the silicone gasket 702, under pressure, will fill any gaps that may exist due to its good flexibility, thus effectively sealing the multi-core optical fiber connection.

[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, there are several sets of locking pins 5 and sliding holes, and these sets of locking pins 5 and sliding holes are distributed in a rectangular array.

[0032] The locking post 5 serves to fix the mating terminal 6.

[0033] like Figure 5 As shown, locking holes are provided around the surface of the mating terminal 6, and the locking holes are compatible with the locking pin 5.

[0034] The locking hole serves to position and lock the pin 5.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, one end of the male terminal 1 is electrically connected to a multi-core fiber 9 (A), and the other end of the female terminal 8 is electrically connected to a multi-core fiber 10 (B).

[0036] By connecting male terminal 1 and female terminal 8, the A multi-core fiber 9 and B multi-core fiber 10 are connected.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, there are four sets of telescopic mechanisms 2, which are arranged in a rectangular array. The positioning frame 3 is slidably set on the surface of the connecting terminal 4.

[0038] The telescopic mechanism 2 facilitates the sliding of the positioning frame 3.

[0039] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Rubber gasket 701 and silicone gasket 702 are fitted onto the surface of the mating terminal 6. When connecting the connecting terminal 4 and the mating terminal 6, the positioning sleeve 3 is first pulled open, and the mating terminal 6 is inserted into the mating groove of the connecting terminal 4. The mating terminal 6 will push up the bottom of the locking pin 5, releasing the positioning sleeve 3. The reaction force of the spring 203 causes the positioning sleeve 3 to slide above the locking pin 5, limiting and fixing multiple locking pins 5, quickly connecting multi-core optical fibers, and also facilitating quick disconnection, making it convenient to use.

[0040] After the mating terminal 6 and the connecting terminal 4 are clamped together, the rubber gasket 701 and the silicone gasket 702 seal the connection. The silicone gasket 702, under pressure, will fill any gaps due to its good flexibility, thus sealing the multi-core fiber connection well and facilitating dust and water protection.
