Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical communication technology, specifically to a loss-preventing optical module connection structure. Background Technology

[0002] Optical modules are core components in optical communication systems, enabling photoelectric signal conversion. The accuracy of their connection to the optical interface directly affects the quality of optical signal transmission. Existing optical module connection structures generally suffer from the following defects: First, insufficient positioning accuracy during insertion and removal easily leads to component misalignment and optical signal coupling loss; second, poor interface sealing performance allows dust and moisture to easily penetrate and contaminate core components, reducing signal transmission efficiency; third, insufficient reliability of connection locking makes them prone to loosening under vibration and impact, causing signal interruption or attenuation; fourth, the lack of a buffer structure during insertion and removal allows hard contact to easily cause wear on precision components such as ceramic ferrules, shortening their lifespan; and fifth, the absence of anti-slip design during operation results in poor ease of insertion and removal. These problems seriously affect the transmission stability and lifespan of optical modules, making it difficult to meet the low-loss requirements of high-speed optical communication scenarios. Therefore, a loss-resistant optical module connection structure is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a loss-resistant optical module connection structure, which aims to solve one of the technical problems of transmission loss caused by inaccurate positioning, poor sealing, loose locking, easy wear and tear, and inconvenient operation of existing optical module connections.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows: a loss-proof optical module connection structure includes an optical module body, one end of which is connected to a connection component, and the other end of the connection component is inserted into the interior of an optical interface. The optical interface includes an interface shell, one side of which is provided with symmetrical guide grooves, and one end of the interface shell is provided with a sealing gasket. A second guide strip adapted to the guide groove is installed on one side of the sealing gasket.

[0005] A further preferred embodiment: the connecting assembly includes a plastic shell, a tail sleeve, a first guide strip, a groove, and a ceramic insert. The ceramic insert is embedded inside one end of the plastic shell, and the tail sleeve is connected to the other end of the plastic shell. The first guide strip is provided on the top surface of the plastic shell, and grooves are symmetrically provided on the inner walls of both sides of the plastic shell.

[0006] A further preferred embodiment: the outer wall of the plastic shell is provided with anti-slip textured sections.

[0007] A further preferred embodiment: the other end of the interface housing has symmetrically arranged docking channels inside, and each docking channel is connected to a locking protrusion that matches the groove.

[0008] A further preferred embodiment: the two side walls of the interface housing are symmetrically equipped with baffles, which can prevent hand contamination of the docking parts.

[0009] A further preferred embodiment: the interface housing has a ferrule mounting cavity installed inside.

[0010] A further preferred embodiment: elastic buffers are symmetrically installed on both sides of one end of the interface housing.

[0011] The present invention has the following advantages over the prior art: 1. This utility model ensures the coaxiality of the connection component and the optical interface through the dual guiding cooperation of the first guide bar and the guide groove, and the second guide bar and the guide groove, thereby reducing optical signal coupling loss and solving the problem of inaccurate positioning in traditional connections.

[0012] 2. The sealing gasket of this utility model is made of silicone material, which has good resilience and sealing performance, effectively blocking dust and moisture intrusion, avoiding contamination of the ceramic ferrule end face, and ensuring the light signal transmission efficiency.

[0013] 3. The groove and the protrusion of this utility model adopt an interference fit design, which automatically locks and engages during insertion and removal, resulting in high connection strength. It can resist the risk of loosening caused by vibration and collision, and ensure transmission stability.

[0014] 4. The elastic buffer of this utility model is made of rubber, which provides buffering force during insertion and removal, avoids hard contact between the ceramic core and the inside of the interface, reduces component wear, and extends service life.

[0015] 5. The anti-slip textured section of the plastic shell of this utility model increases the grip friction, making insertion and removal operations easier, and the baffle can prevent the hand from contacting the precision docking parts, thus improving the safety and convenience of operation.
