Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fiber optic connector tail sleeves, specifically a reinforced fiber optic connector tail sleeve. Background Technology

[0002] The fiber optic connector tail sleeve is an important component of a fiber optic connector. It is mainly used to protect and fix the connector part of the fiber optic cable. It is usually made of materials such as plastic or rubber, and serves to protect the fiber optic cable, fix the fiber optic cable, and prevent water and dust.

[0003] When using existing fiber optic connector tail sleeves, the tail sleeve is usually fitted onto the end of the rear sleeve, and the end of the rear sleeve is directly inserted into the tail sleeve. However, this method of fitting the tail sleeve is prone to loosening and falling off later. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a reinforced fiber optic connector tail sleeve to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a reinforced fiber optic connector tail sleeve, comprising a fiber optic connector tail sleeve body, the fiber optic connector tail sleeve body being made of rubber, one end of the fiber optic connector tail sleeve body having an outer groove, and the other end of the fiber optic connector tail sleeve body having an inner groove, and the interior of the fiber optic connector tail sleeve body having an installation groove, and the outer wall of the fiber optic connector tail sleeve body having multiple sets of annular grooves, the multiple sets of annular grooves being distributed on the outer wall of the fiber optic connector tail sleeve body.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the problem of existing fiber optic connector tail sleeves easily falling off when fitted outside the tail sleeve is solved. The inner groove allows the tail sleeve to be easily fitted inside the fiber optic connector tail sleeve body. Then, heating the connection between the fiber optic connector tail sleeve body and the tail sleeve makes the connection between the fiber optic connector tail sleeve body and the tail sleeve tighter. Heating the outer groove makes the connection between the fiber optic connector tail sleeve body and the fiber optic cable tighter. The annular groove allows the fiber optic connector tail sleeve body to deform when subjected to external force, but the reinforcing ribs prevent the fiber optic connector tail sleeve body from deforming too much, thereby enhancing the strength of the fiber optic connector tail sleeve body and making it less prone to deformation and damage.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that multiple sets of reinforcing ribs are fixed on the outer wall of the fiber optic connector tail sleeve body, and the multiple sets of reinforcing ribs are distributed on the outer wall of the fiber optic connector tail sleeve body.

[0008] Preferably, the reinforcing ribs can prevent the fiber optic connector tail sleeve from deforming excessively during use, thus avoiding damage.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that the fiber optic connector tail sleeve body is composed of two sets of retaining rings, the outer wall of the retaining ring is fixed with multiple sets of protrusions, and the outer wall of the protrusions is provided with a locking block, the end of the retaining ring is fixed with a rubber ring, and the inside of the rubber ring is provided with an inner groove, and the other end of the retaining ring is fixed with a sealing gasket.

[0010] Preferably, the fiber optic connector tail sleeve body is made of plastic, which makes it less prone to damage during use. When using it, the light can be placed directly inside the mounting slot, and then the two sets of retaining rings snap together. The internal rubber pads compress the optical fiber, thereby fixing the optical fiber. The tail sleeve is located inside the rubber rings, and the metal locking blocks provide better fixation.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that an installation groove is provided inside the retaining ring, and multiple sets of rubber pads are fixed to the inner wall of the installation groove.

[0012] Preferably, the rubber pad 11 is provided so that the optical fiber can be fixed when the two sets of retaining rings 6 are closed.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that the outer wall of the protrusion is provided with a groove, and the inner wall of the groove is in contact with the card block.

[0014] Preferably, the groove 91 prevents the locking block 10 from sliding on the outer wall of the protrusion 9, thus avoiding misalignment.

[0015] The present invention is further configured such that the card block is made of metal.

[0016] Preferably, the metal locking block 10 can better engage with the outside of the protrusion 9, has a better elastic coefficient, and is not easily deformed.

[0017] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:

[0018] 1. This utility model solves the problem of existing fiber optic connector tail sleeves easily falling off when fitted outside the tail sleeve by setting an inner groove, an outer groove, reinforcing ribs, and an annular groove. The inner groove allows the tail sleeve to be easily fitted inside the fiber optic connector tail sleeve body, and then heating the connection between the fiber optic connector tail sleeve body and the tail sleeve makes the connection between the fiber optic connector tail sleeve body and the tail sleeve tighter. Heating the outer groove makes the connection between the fiber optic connector tail sleeve body and the optical fiber tighter. The annular groove allows the fiber optic connector tail sleeve body to deform when subjected to external force, but the reinforcing ribs prevent the fiber optic connector tail sleeve body from deforming too much, thereby enhancing the strength of the fiber optic connector tail sleeve body and making the fiber optic connector tail sleeve body less prone to deformation and damage.

[0019] 2. This utility model features a fiber optic connector tail sleeve body made of plastic, which is equipped with a retaining ring, a protrusion, a groove, and a locking block, making it less prone to damage during use. When in use, the light can be placed directly inside the mounting slot, and then the two sets of retaining rings engage, and the internal rubber pads compress the optical fiber, thereby fixing the optical fiber. The tail sleeve is located inside the rubber ring, and the metal locking block provides a better fixing effect. Attached Figure Description
