Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fiber optic adapter technology, and in particular to an MPO fiber optic connector with a dustproof and vibration-proof MPO adapter structure. Background Technology

[0002] In fiber optic communication systems, fiber optic adapters are crucial components for achieving precise fiber optic connector mating, and their performance directly impacts the stability and reliability of optical signal transmission. With the widespread adoption of high-density fiber optic cabling, adapters are constantly exposed to complex operating conditions, and dust intrusion has become one of the main factors leading to optical interface contamination, increased insertion loss, and signal attenuation.

[0003] Existing adapters are mostly open-structured or use only simple dust cover designs. The dust cover is easy to lose and cannot provide protection during plugging and unplugging, resulting in serious reliability issues in high-dust environments such as industrial and data centers. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to propose an MPO fiber optic connector with a dustproof and anti-shake MPO adapter structure to solve the problem that existing fiber optic adapters lack effective dustproof protection.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an MPO fiber optic connector with a dustproof and anti-shaking MPO adapter structure, including an adapter body and an adapter housing. The adapter body has two rotatable dustproof sheets inside, which are symmetrically distributed on the upper and lower sides of the inner cavity of the adapter body.

[0006] The dustproof sheet is connected to a dustproof spring sheet, which provides an elastic force to close the dustproof sheet;

[0007] The adapter housing has an anti-shake spring on its outer side, and the anti-shake spring has a parallel protruding elastic pressing part.

[0008] In some alternative embodiments, the adapter body has U-shaped grooves on both sides, and the dustproof sheet has cylinders on both sides that rotate with the U-shaped grooves;

[0009] The adapter body is provided with a hook, and the adapter housing is provided with a side hole, and the hook engages and is fixed with the side hole;

[0010] The inner wall of the adapter housing is pressed against the end of the dustproof sheet, confining the cylinder of the dustproof sheet within the U-shaped groove of the adapter body.

[0011] In some alternative embodiments, the dustproof spring sheet has an R-shaped structure, comprising:

[0012] The circular hole provided on the flat part fits onto the circular protrusion provided on the surface of the dustproof sheet;

[0013] The C-shaped bend makes elastic contact with the cylindrical part of the dustproof sheet;

[0014] The U-shaped end is inserted into the square hole of the dustproof sheet.

[0015] In some alternative embodiments, the dustproof sheet has a V-shaped clearance groove in the middle.

[0016] In some alternative embodiments, the anti-sway spring includes two parallel U-shaped elastic arms, and the elastic pressing part is a planar protrusion at the top of the U-shaped elastic arm.

[0017] In some optional embodiments, the adapter body has a polarity marking groove on its outer side, and the adapter housing has A polarity marking and B polarity marking on its two sides respectively;

[0018] When the polarity marking slot is aligned with the A polarity marking, the adapter is polarity A; when it is aligned with the B polarity marking, the adapter is polarity B.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0020] This utility model provides an MPO fiber optic connector with a dustproof and anti-shake MPO adapter structure. By incorporating a built-in double dustproof sheet structure that can automatically rebound, it solves the problem of lack of dustproof measures in existing open adapters or simple dustproof cover solutions. The two symmetrically distributed dustproof sheets are always kept closed under the elastic force of the dustproof spring sheet, forming an active dustproof barrier with a closed inner cavity, effectively preventing dust, oil and other contaminants from entering from the port, and ensuring the long-term cleanliness of the fiber optic interface.

[0035] Please see Figures 1 to 9 As an embodiment of this utility model, an MPO fiber optic connector with a dustproof and anti-shaking MPO adapter structure includes an adapter body 1 and an adapter housing 2. The adapter body 1 is provided with a rotatable dustproof sheet 3 inside. There are two dustproof sheets 3, which are symmetrically distributed on the upper and lower sides of the inner cavity of the adapter body 1.

[0036] The dustproof sheet 3 is connected to a dustproof spring sheet 4, which provides the elastic force to close the dustproof sheet 3;

[0037] An anti-shake spring 5 is provided on the outer side of the adapter housing 2. The anti-shake spring 5 has parallel protruding elastic pressing parts.

[0038] In this embodiment, when the adapter is not connected to the fiber optic connector:

[0039] The two dustproof plates 3 rotate and close around the cylinder 301 under the elastic force of the dustproof spring plate 4; the edges of the V-shaped relief groove 303 of the dustproof plate 3 fit tightly together to form a dustproof barrier that closes the inner cavity.

[0040] When the MPO fiber optic connector 6 is inserted into the port of the adapter housing 2, the plug end face of the connector 6 pushes the inclined surface of the V-shaped relief groove 303 of the dustproof plate 3, causing the dustproof plate 3 to rotate and open around the cylinder 301 as the axis; the C-shaped bend 402 of the dustproof spring plate 4 is compressed and stored; at this time, the connector 6 plug is precisely connected to the fiber optic interface inside the adapter body 1.

[0041] The adapter body 1 is mounted on the adapter mounting panel via anti-sway springs 5. The two U-shaped elastic arms 501 of the anti-sway springs 5 ​​generate radial elastic deformation; the elastic pressing force generated by the planar protrusions 502 is pressed tightly against the inner wall of the mounting hole of the adapter panel, suppressing displacement caused by working vibration.

[0042] After the fiber optic connector 6 is pulled out, the dustproof spring 4 releases energy to drive the dustproof sheet 3 to spring back and close.

[0043] When the device is not in use for an extended period, press the dust cap into port 2 of the adapter housing to block external dust.

[0044] Optionally, the adapter body 1 has U-shaped grooves 101 on both sides, and the dustproof sheet 3 has cylinders 301 on both sides that rotate with the U-shaped grooves 101; the dustproof sheet 3 can rotate with the U-shaped grooves 101 as the center.

[0045] The adapter body 1 is provided with a hook 102, and the adapter housing 2 is provided with a side hole 201; align the hook 102 of the adapter body 1 with the side hole 201 of the adapter housing 2, apply axial pressure to make the hook 102 elastically deform and then snap into the side hole 201, so that the hook 102 and the side hole 201 are engaged and fixed.

[0046] The inner wall of the adapter housing 2 is pressed against the end of the dustproof sheet 3, confining the cylinder 301 of the dustproof sheet 3 within the U-shaped groove 101 of the adapter body 1.

[0047] Optionally, the dustproof spring sheet 4 has an R-shaped structure, including:

[0048] The circular hole 401 provided on the flat part is fitted onto the circular protrusion 304 provided on the surface of the dustproof sheet 3 to form a fixing base point;

[0049] The C-shaped bend 402 elastically abuts against the cylinder 301 of the dustproof sheet 3;

[0050] The U-shaped end 403 is inserted into the square hole 302 of the dustproof sheet 3;

[0051] When the dust cover 3 is closed, the C-shaped bend 402 is in a freely extended state; when the dust cover 3 is opened, the external force pushes the dust cover 3 to rotate, and the C-shaped bend 402 is compressed and deformed to start storing energy; when the dust cover 3 rebounds after the connector 6 is pulled out, the C-shaped bend 402 releases the stored energy, pushes the cylinder 301 to rotate in the opposite direction, and closes the edge of the dust cover 3.

[0052] Optionally, the dustproof sheet 3 has a V-shaped clearance groove 303 in the middle to prevent the dustproof sheet from colliding with the connector core 6 when the fiber optic connector 6 is inserted.

[0053] Optionally, the anti-sway spring 5 includes two parallel U-shaped elastic arms 501, and the elastic pressing part is a flat protrusion 502 on the top of the U-shaped elastic arm 501.

[0054] When the adapter body 1 is assembled onto the adapter mounting panel, the planar protrusion 502 forms an elastic tight fit structure with the adapter mounting panel to prevent the adapter from shaking after installation. Specifically, the planar protrusion 502 of the two U-shaped elastic arms 501 are interference-fitted to the inner wall of the mounting hole of the adapter mounting panel, the U-shaped elastic arms 501 generate radial elastic deformation, the deformation stores energy, and the planar protrusion 502 forms a surface contact with the inner wall of the adapter mounting panel.

[0055] Optionally, the adapter body 1 has a polarity marking groove 103 on the outside, and the adapter housing 2 has an A polarity marking 202 and a B polarity marking 203 on both sides respectively.

[0056] When the polarity marking slot 103 is in the same direction as the A polarity marking 202, the adapter is of polarity A; when it is in the same direction as the B polarity marking 203, the adapter is of polarity B.

[0057] When assembling the adapter, the polarity marking groove 103 of the adapter body 1 is aligned with the A polarity marking 202 of the adapter housing 2 and then pressed together. At this time, the triangular groove of the polarity marking groove 103 and the A polarity marking 202 are in the same axial plane, and the adapter polarity is A polarity. Conversely, the polarity marking groove 103 of the adapter body 1 is aligned with the B polarity marking 203 of the adapter housing 2 and then pressed together. At this time, the triangular groove of the polarity marking groove 103 and the B polarity marking 203 are in the same axial plane, and the adapter polarity is B polarity.
