[0002] Fiber optic connectors are core components in fiber optic communication systems that enable detachable, high-precision connections. Their core function is to seamlessly couple the end faces of two optical fibers through a precision mechanical structure, ensuring that the light energy output from the transmitting fiber is transmitted to the receiving fiber with minimal loss, while reducing the impact on the performance of the optical link.

[0003] However, traditional fiber optic connectors rely on mechanical snap-fit ​​or threaded structures for connection, which are complex to operate and prone to wear. Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a fiber optic connector with magnetic assisted positioning function to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A fiber optic connector with magnetic assisted positioning function includes a connector body and a fiber optic body. One end of the connector body is provided with a connecting groove for connecting the fiber optic body. A foolproof limiting block is fixedly installed in the connecting groove.

A positioning mechanism for assisting installation positioning is installed on the connector body and the fiber optic body.

[0006] Preferably, the positioning mechanism includes a mounting frame, the inner side of which is fixedly connected to the outer side of one side of the connector body, and positioning blocks are fixedly installed on both sides of the mounting frame, with a positioning groove provided at one end of each positioning block.

[0007] Preferably, a first mounting groove is provided on both sides of one end of the connector body, and a second mounting groove is provided at one end of the connector body, wherein a first magnetic ring is fixedly installed in the second mounting groove.

[0008] Preferably, the positioning mechanism further includes a positioning ring, the inner side of which is movably connected to the outer side of the optical fiber body. A third mounting groove is provided at one end of the positioning ring, and a second magnetic ring is fixedly installed in the third mounting groove. The first magnetic ring and the second magnetic ring are attracted to each other. Movable grooves are provided on both sides of both ends of the optical fiber body, and movable blocks are movably installed in the movable grooves. One end of the movable block is fixedly connected to the inner side of the positioning ring.

[0009] Preferably, a limiting rod is fixedly installed in the movable groove, the limiting rod is movably connected to the movable block, a spring is sleeved on the limiting rod, and the two sides of the spring are fixedly connected to one side of the movable block and one side of the movable groove, respectively.

[0010] Preferably, mounting blocks are provided on both sides of the optical fiber body, the mounting blocks are L-shaped, and an elastic fastener is fixedly installed at one end of the mounting block.

[0011] Preferably, one side of the mounting block is matched with the first mounting groove, and one side of the elastic fastener is matched with the positioning groove.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] The positioning mechanism facilitates the mutual attraction of the first and second magnetic rings during installation, with the help of a foolproof limiting block and a limiting groove for positioning. The fiber optic body is then moved into the connector body. The positioning ring moves within the movable groove due to the pressure of the connector body end face, compressing the spring until the mounting block is locked in the first mounting groove and the elastic fastener is locked in the positioning groove, thereby fixing the connector body and the fiber optic body. This avoids the need to rely on mechanical snap-fit ​​or threaded structures for connection, which would result in complicated operation and easy wear of the device. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments:

[0020] This utility model discloses an optical fiber connector with magnetic assisted positioning function. (Refer to...) Figure 1-4 The connector body 1 and the optical fiber body 2 are provided. One end of the connector body 1 is provided with a connecting groove 3 for connecting the optical fiber body 2. A foolproof limiting block 4 is fixedly installed in the connecting groove 3. A limiting groove 5 is provided at the top of the optical fiber body 2. The foolproof limiting block 4 is matched with the limiting groove 5. The connector body 1 and the optical fiber body 2 are provided with positioning mechanisms for assisting installation and positioning.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model, through the positioning mechanism, facilitates the mutual attraction of the first magnetic ring 11 and the second magnetic ring 14 during installation, and provides auxiliary positioning through the anti-foolproof limiting block 4 and the limiting groove 5. Subsequently, the optical fiber body 2 is moved into the connector body 1, and the positioning ring 12 can move in the movable groove 15 due to the pressure of the end face of the connector body 1, compressing the spring 18 until the mounting block 19 is stuck in the first mounting groove 9 and the elastic fastener 20 is stuck in the positioning groove 8, thereby fixing the connector body 1 and the optical fiber body 2. This avoids the need to rely on mechanical buckles or threaded structures to achieve the connection, which would cause complicated operation and easy wear of the device.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-4 The positioning mechanism includes a mounting frame 6, the inner side of which is fixedly connected to the outer side of one side of the connector body 1. Positioning blocks 7 are fixedly mounted on both sides of the mounting frame 6, and a positioning groove 8 is formed at one end of each positioning block 7. A first mounting groove 9 is formed on both sides of one end of the connector body 1, and a second mounting groove 10 is formed at one end of the connector body 1. A first magnetic ring 11 is fixedly mounted in the second mounting groove 10. The positioning mechanism also includes a positioning ring 12, the inner side of which is movably connected to the outer side of the optical fiber body 2. A third mounting groove 13 is formed at one end of the positioning ring 12, and a second magnetic ring 14 is fixedly mounted in the third mounting groove 13. The first magnetic ring 11 and the second magnetic ring 14 are mutually attracted. Movable grooves 15 are formed on both sides of both ends of the optical fiber body 2, and movable blocks 16 are movably mounted in the movable grooves 15. One end of the movable block 16 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the positioning ring 12.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, during installation, the first magnetic ring 11 and the second magnetic ring 14 can attract each other to perform initial installation positioning between the connector body 1 and the optical fiber body 2. Subsequently, the misalignment limit block 4 and the limit groove 5 can prevent the connector body 1 and the optical fiber body 2 from being installed in the wrong direction, and further positioning can be performed.

[0024] Reference Figure 1-4A limiting rod 17 is fixedly installed inside the movable groove 15. The limiting rod 17 is movably connected to the movable block 16. A spring 18 is sleeved on the limiting rod 17, and both sides of the spring 18 are fixedly connected to one side of the movable block 16 and one side of the movable groove 15, respectively. Mounting blocks 19 are provided on both sides of the optical fiber body 2. The mounting blocks 19 are L-shaped, and an elastic fastener 20 is fixedly installed at one end of each mounting block 19. One side of the mounting block 19 matches the first mounting groove 9, and one side of the elastic fastener 20 matches the positioning groove 8.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, after the initial positioning is completed by the first magnetic ring 11 and the second magnetic ring 14, the optical fiber body 2 can be moved into the connector body 1. The end face of the connector body 1 can squeeze the positioning ring 12, so that the positioning ring 12 can move in the movable groove 15, compressing the spring 18 until the mounting block 19 is stuck in the first mounting groove 9 and the elastic fastener 20 is stuck in the positioning groove 8, thus completing the fixation between the connector body 1 and the optical fiber body 2.

[0026] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
