[0002] An optical fiber array connector is an optical communication device for connecting multiple optical fibers, and is mainly used for high-speed data transmission in optical fiber communication systems. The optical fiber array connector mainly functions to combine multiple optical fibers into one connector to transmit multi-channel data simultaneously. Compared with single-fiber connectors, optical fiber array connectors have higher data transmission capacity and smaller volume, so they are widely used in fields such as high-density wiring in data centers, optical modules, and optical fiber sensing.

[0003] The experimental team has read and studied a large number of related documents and materials on the technology of optical fiber array connectors, and has conducted many related experiments with the help of related parties.

In addition, the conventional connectors have low space utilization rate, cannot realize miniaturized module design, and have poor material durability and environmental adaptability, which makes them prone to performance degradation after long-term use.

[0004] The present invention is made to solve the general problems in the field of optical fiber connectors, such as poor durability, poor environmental adaptability, and complicated structure. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

Effect of the Invention

[0009] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. Traditional fiber optic connector designs require more parts or complicated assembly steps, but the integrated injection molding process reduces assembly steps and improves production efficiency.

Those skilled in the art can specifically understand the meanings of the above terms according to specific situations.

[0016] Example 1 Referring to Figures 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, this embodiment discloses a 90 degree optical fiber array connector based on an injection molding process, the 90 degree optical fiber array connector includes: a vertical board for fixing optical fibers and supporting the 90 degree turning of the optical fibers; a receiving cavity provided inside the vertical board and penetrating both sides of the vertical board; and an engagement plate for blocking vertically in the receiving cavity; The engagement plate has perforations, the optical fibers pass through both sides of the vertical base plate, and each optical fiber extends from the perforations, and the engagement plate fixes the positions of the optical fibers that pass through the vertical base plate.

[0017] The vertical substrate includes a horizontal plate arranged horizontally, a vertical plate arranged vertically, and an arc-shaped plate for connecting the horizontal plate and the vertical plate, where the horizontal plate and the vertical plate are arranged perpendicular to each other, a through passage is provided inside the horizontal plate, the vertical plate and the arc-shaped plate, respectively, and the through passages in the horizontal plate, the vertical plate and the arc-shaped plate are connected to each other to form the accommodating cavity.

[0018] The wall of the vertical plate relatively far from the arc-shaped plate is a penetration wall, and the penetration wall has a plurality of penetration holes arranged horizontally. The optical fibers pass through these penetration holes sequentially into the vertical substrate, and each optical fiber penetrates the vertical plate of the vertical substrate and extends out from the horizontal plate of the vertical substrate. The vertical substrate is obtained by injection molding the raw material Kovar alloy 4j29 and then gold plating the surface.

[0019] One end of the horizontal plate is connected to the arc-shaped plate, and the other end of the horizontal plate is disposed relatively away from the arc-shaped plate.

[0020] The material of the engagement plate is quartz glass, and the engagement plate is fixed vertically within the perforation hole of the horizontal plate by adhesive. The engagement plate is relatively close to the end of the horizontal plate that is away from the arc-shaped plate, so that each optical fiber passes through the corresponding perforation hole evenly, thereby realizing an array arrangement of the optical fibers.

[0021] The 90 degree optical fiber array connector based on the injection molding process of the present invention is rationally designed, and the combination of horizontal plate, vertical plate and arc plate realizes smooth 90 degree turning of the optical fiber and reduces stress and loss. The uniformly arranged perforations on the engagement plate ensure accurate positioning of the optical fiber and improve the stability of signal transmission. The vertical board is made of Kovar alloy 4J29 injection molding and then gold plated on the surface, which provides good electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance. The engagement plate is made of quartz glass, which has high light transmittance and thermal stability. The injection molding process not only improves production efficiency and precision and reduces costs, but also makes installation and maintenance more convenient, making it suitable for high-density optical communication systems.
