Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to an optical fiber array for high-speed optical modules. Background Technology

[0002] Fiber optic arrays are arrays of multiple optical fibers mounted on a substrate at specified intervals. They are primarily used for high-speed data transmission and have wide applications in the field of communications. Existing technologies include numerous fiber optic arrays with patent applications numbered 201822226221.7, 201921146631.9, and 201620733766.5. Their basic structure consists of a substrate and a cover plate. The substrate has multiple V-grooves, and multiple optical fibers are placed in these grooves. The cover plate then presses the optical fibers firmly onto the substrate. However, these arrays suffer from the following problems during use: if a single optical fiber experiences a localized temperature increase due to overload or an external heat source, the heat from this single fiber can easily transfer to adjacent fibers due to the presence of heat insulation devices between the fibers. This can negatively impact the performance of the entire fiber optic array, leading to inconvenience and poor reliability. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a fiber optic array for high-speed optical modules that uses a heat insulation mechanism to separate multiple optical fibers, thereby reducing heat transfer between them. When the temperature of one optical fiber is too high, the heat insulation mechanism prevents it from transferring heat to other optical fibers, thus avoiding affecting the performance of the optical fibers in the entire fiber optic array. This fiber optic array is easy to use, reliable, and highly practical.

[0004] This utility model discloses a fiber optic array for high-speed optical modules, comprising a fixing plate, multiple optical fibers, a substrate, a pressure plate, and multiple bolts. The substrate is mounted on the front end of the fixing plate, and the front ends of the multiple optical fibers are placed on the upper end of the substrate. The pressure plate is mounted on the upper end of the substrate by multiple bolts and is used to press the multiple optical fibers onto the substrate. It also includes a heat insulation mechanism mounted on the substrate and the pressure plate. The heat insulation mechanism has a heat insulation function and is located between the multiple optical fibers. Because the heat insulation mechanism separates the multiple optical fibers, heat transfer between them is reduced. When one optical fiber becomes too hot, the heat insulation mechanism prevents it from transferring heat to other optical fibers, thus avoiding affecting the performance of the optical fibers in the entire fiber optic array. It is convenient to use and has high reliability and practicality.

[0005] Preferably, the substrate includes multiple support blocks, which are fixedly connected to each other. V-grooves are provided on the support blocks, and the front part of the optical fiber is located in the V-groove. By placing multiple optical fibers in the V-grooves of multiple support blocks respectively, the positioning of multiple optical fibers is facilitated and the convenience is improved.

[0006] Preferably, the heat insulation mechanism includes multiple heat insulation plates, which are fixedly installed on multiple support blocks, and heat insulation plates are provided between two adjacent support blocks. With the above arrangement, when the temperature of the optical fiber in one support block is too high, the heat insulation plate prevents the optical fiber from transferring heat to another optical fiber through the support block, reducing the mutual influence between multiple optical fibers, making it convenient to use and highly reliable.

[0007] Preferably, each of the multiple support blocks has a rubber plate installed in its V-groove; this arrangement reduces scratches on the optical fiber caused by the support blocks and improves reliability during use.

[0008] Preferably, the pressure plate includes multiple cover plates and multiple heat insulation blocks, which are fixedly connected. A heat insulation block is provided between each pair of adjacent cover plates. Each heat insulation plate has a slot at its upper end, and the heat insulation blocks are inserted into the slots of the heat insulation plates respectively. Through the above arrangement, the cover plates and heat insulation plates form a heat-insulating space for the optical fibers, reducing the mutual influence between the multiple optical fibers.

[0009] Preferably, a rubber pad is provided at the lower end of the cover plate, and the rubber pad is in contact with the upper end of the optical fiber; the above arrangement avoids the cover plate from damaging the optical fiber and improves the reliability during use.

[0010] Preferably, the lower end of the fixing plate is provided with a wear-resistant coating; this feature improves the service life of the fixing plate.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: by separating multiple optical fibers through the heat insulation mechanism, the heat transfer between multiple optical fibers is reduced. When the temperature of one optical fiber is too high, the heat insulation mechanism prevents it from transferring heat to other optical fibers, thus avoiding affecting the performance of the optical fibers in the entire optical fiber array. It is convenient to use and has high reliability and practicality. Attached Figure Description

[0018] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more complete description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. This utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of this utility model more thorough and complete.

[0019] Example 1

[0020] like Figures 1 to 5 The fiber array of the high-speed optical module of this utility model includes a fixing plate 1, multiple optical fibers 2, a substrate, a pressure plate, multiple bolts 3, and a heat insulation mechanism. The substrate is installed at the front end of the fixing plate 1, and the front ends of the multiple optical fibers 2 are placed on the upper end of the substrate. The pressure plate is installed on the upper end of the substrate by multiple bolts 3. The pressure plate is used to press the multiple optical fibers 2 tightly onto the substrate. The heat insulation mechanism is installed on the substrate and the pressure plate. The heat insulation mechanism has the function of heat insulation and is located between the multiple optical fibers 2. Since the multiple optical fibers 2 are separated by the heat insulation mechanism, the heat transfer between the multiple optical fibers 2 is reduced. When the temperature of one optical fiber 2 is too high, the heat is prevented from being transferred to other optical fibers 2 due to the obstruction of the heat insulation mechanism, thus avoiding affecting the performance of the optical fibers 2 in the entire fiber array. It is convenient to use and has high reliability and practicality.

[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 The substrate includes multiple support blocks 4, which are fixedly connected to each other. V-shaped grooves are provided on the support blocks 4, and the front part of the optical fiber 2 is located in the V-shaped groove. By placing the multiple optical fibers 2 in the V-shaped grooves of the multiple support blocks 4 respectively, the positioning of the multiple optical fibers 2 is facilitated and the convenience is improved.

[0022] like Figure 1 The heat insulation mechanism includes multiple heat insulation plates 5, which are fixedly installed on multiple support blocks 4. A heat insulation plate 5 is provided between two adjacent support blocks 4. With the above arrangement, when the temperature of the optical fiber 2 in one of the support blocks 4 is too high, the heat insulation plate 5 prevents the optical fiber 2 from transferring heat to another optical fiber 2 through the support block 4, reducing the mutual influence between multiple optical fibers 2. It is convenient to use and has high reliability.

[0023] like Figure 4 Rubber plates 8 are installed in the V-grooves of multiple support blocks 4; through the above arrangement, the scratches on the optical fiber 2 by the support blocks 4 are reduced, and the reliability during use is improved.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 The pressure plate includes multiple cover plates 6 and multiple heat insulation blocks 7, which are fixedly connected. A heat insulation block 7 is provided between each pair of adjacent cover plates 6. Each heat insulation plate 5 has a slot at its upper end, and the heat insulation blocks 7 are inserted into the slots of the heat insulation plates 5. This arrangement creates a heat-insulating space between the cover plates 6 and the heat insulation plates 5 for the optical fibers 2, reducing mutual interference between the multiple optical fibers 2. The lower end of the fixing plate 1 is coated with a wear-resistant coating.

[0025] Example 2

[0026] Based on Embodiment 1, a rubber pad 9 is provided at the lower end of the cover plate 6, and the rubber pad 9 contacts the upper end of the optical fiber 2; through the above arrangement, the cover plate 6 is prevented from damaging the optical fiber 2, and the reliability during use is improved.

[0027] The heat insulation plate 5, heat insulation block 7, and rubber pad 9 of the fiber array for high-speed optical modules of this utility model are all purchased from the market. Technical personnel in this industry only need to install and operate them according to the accompanying instruction manual, without requiring any creative work from those skilled in the art.

[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
