[0005] The existing optical communication active optical module, as a core component of modern communication technology, has always been concerned about its design and manufacturing process. The optical communication active optical module on the market currently adopts a traditional independent part precision assembly combination method. In order to realize the coupling between the optical module and the switch, an unlocking structure is usually designed in the packaging structure of the optical module. When the optical module is inserted into the switch, the shell of the optical module will be clamped by the locking device in the switch, and the unlocking structure is used to release the locking of the optical module by the switch. Taking one of the existing unlocking structures as an example, the existing unlocking structure is provided with a spring structure (as shown in the dashed box in FIG. 1) on the side surface of the packaging structure. Although the spring structure can realize the relative movement between the pull ring and the packaging structure without being separated, thereby realizing the unlocking of the optical module, the spring groove needs to be designed on both side surfaces of the packaging structure, which occupies the internal space of the packaging structure. In the limited space, this will undoubtedly squeeze the area originally used to place the optical device and the printed circuit board (PCB), thereby limiting the expansion of the performance and function of the optical module.

[0068] Furthermore, the technical features involved in each of the embodiments of the present application described below can be combined with each other as long as there is no conflict.

[0069] Embodiment 1:

[0070] The embodiment 1 of the present application provides an optical module which is convenient to assemble, as shown in Fig. 2, comprising: a packaging shell 1 and a pull ring 2; the pull ring 2 comprises fixed arms 20 respectively arranged on both sides, and the fixed arms 20 are in abutment with both sides of the packaging shell 1.

[0071] As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the packaging shell 1 comprises an upper cover 10, a base 11 and a cover plate 12, the upper cover 10 and the base 11 are fixedly connected, and the cover plate 12 is clamped with the base 11; the base 11 is provided with a first fixed plane 110, the first fixed plane 110 is provided with a fixed protrusion 1100, the pull ring 2 is provided with a second fixed plane 21, the second fixed plane 21 is located between the fixed arms 20, the second fixed plane 21 is provided with a fixed hole 210, the fixed hole 210 is sleeved on the fixed protrusion 1100, the cover plate 12 covers the second fixed plane 21, and the cover plate 12 is clamped and fixed with the base 11. Wherein, the first end surface 112 of the base 11 is provided with a fiber interface 1120, and the first end surface 112 is located on one side of the handle 22 of the pull ring 2. In order to enable the handle 22 to move forward and backward relative to the packaging shell 1, the fixed hole 210 is a waist-shaped hole.

[0072] The fixed protrusion 1100 is sleeved with a torsion spring 3; both sides of the torsion spring 3 are provided with a hook 30, the second fixed plane 21 of the pull ring 2 is provided with two clamping protrusions 211, the clamping protrusions 211 are respectively located on both sides of the fixed hole 210, when the torsion spring 3 is sleeved on the fixed protrusion 1100, the hook 30 hooks the outside of the clamping protrusion 211. In the natural state, as shown in FIG. 5a, the annular part of the torsion spring 3 is sleeved on the fixed protrusion 1100, the horizontal arms for connecting the hooks 30 on both sides of the annular part are in a horizontal state, the hook 30 hooks the outside of the clamping protrusion 211, and the fixed protrusion 1100 is located on the side of the fixed hole 210 close to the handle 22; as shown in FIG. 5b, when the handle 22 is pulled, the clamping protrusion 211 will also move, driving the hook 30 to move, and the annular part fixed on the fixed protrusion 1100 does not move, so the horizontal arms connected with the hooks 30 are pulled by the fixed protrusion 1100, and the two horizontal arms change from the horizontal state to the state of being at a certain angle and opening towards the handle 22. As shown in FIG. 5c, the clamping protrusion 211 is provided with a notch 2110 on the side towards the handle 22, and the notch 2110 is used to prevent the hook 30 from sliding out from above the clamping protrusion 211.

[0073] In one embodiment, the shape of the torsion spring 3 is not only the single annular shape shown in FIG. 5b, but also the double annular shape and the non-annular shape as shown in FIG. 6a-FIG. 6c, or the hook 30 of the torsion spring 3 is arranged towards the handle 22 of the pull ring 2.

[0074] Different from the scheme shown in figures 5a and 5b, in figure 6a, the torsion spring 3 comprises two annular parts, and corresponding to this, the first fixed plane 110 is provided with two fixed protrusions 1100, and each fixed protrusion 1100 is sleeved with an annular part, so that the stability of the structure can be increased.

[0075] Different from the scheme shown in figures 5a and 5b, in figure 6b, the torsion spring 3 is linearly bent, the first fixed plane 110 is provided with a fixed protrusion 1100 and a limiting boss 212, the connecting part of the two horizontal arms of the torsion spring 3 is in a circular arc shape, the fixed protrusion 1100 and the limiting boss 212 clamp and fix the circular arc part of the torsion spring 3, and the two horizontal arms of the torsion spring 3 are in a preset angle form with the opening facing the opposite direction of the handle 22 in the natural state. When the pull ring 2 is pulled, the clamping protrusion 211 drives the hook 30 to move in the pulling direction, and the opening angle of the two horizontal arms is increased.

[0076] Different from the scheme shown in figure 5b, in figure 6c, the first fixed plane 110 is provided with a fixed protrusion 1100, the torsion spring 3 comprises an annular part, the hook 30 of the torsion spring 3 is arranged towards the handle 22 of the pull ring 2, and the end of the hook 30 is continuously extended and bent outwards to hook the clamping protrusion 211 towards the side of the handle 22. When the pull ring 2 is pulled, the clamping protrusion 211 drives the hook 30 to move in the pulling direction, and the two horizontal arms change from the horizontal state to the form with the opening towards the handle 22 at a certain angle.

[0077] The present application transfers the spring structure arranged on both sides of the packaging shell 1 in the prior art to the outer surface of the packaging shell 1, realizes the connection between the pull ring 2 and the packaging shell 1, does not occupy the space inside the packaging shell 1, makes the layout space of the optical device and the PCB in the packaging shell 1 more sufficient, and improves the performance and function expansion of the optical module as much as possible, and replaces the spring with the torsion spring 3 arranged on the surface of the packaging shell 1 to improve the assembly convenience of the structure.

[0078] According to the structure in the above scheme, in order to ensure the completeness of the scheme, the above structures will be further described in detail below.

[0079] In the above scheme, the pull ring 2 includes fixed arms 20 respectively arranged on both sides, which are in sliding connection with the side surface of the packaging shell 1. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, the two sides of the upper cover 10 are respectively provided with first grooves 100 for accommodating the fixed arms 20, and the two sides of the base 11 are respectively provided with second grooves 111 for accommodating the fixed arms 20. When the upper cover 10 and the base 11 are buckled, the sum of the widths of the first grooves 100 and the second grooves 111 matches the width of the fixed arms 20. In an embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8, 9 and 10, the fixed arms 20 are removed from the top protruding form, and the two fixed arms 20 present a trend of gradually approaching the distance between the handles 22 in the direction away from the handles 22, so the first grooves 100 and the second grooves 111 also present a form of gradually increasing depth on the upper cover 10 and the base 11.

[0080] When the optical module is put into the switch as a whole, the interface of the switch is provided with spring sheets 6 (see FIG. 11) for locking the optical module inserted into the switch in the switch. Based on this, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 11, the top edge of the first groove 100 is provided with a first stop step 1000, and the edge of the second groove 111 is provided with a second stop step 1110. The first stop step 1000 and the second stop step 1110 are located on the same horizontal line. When the optical module is inserted into the switch, the first stop step 1000 and the second stop step 1110 are used together to stop the spring sheet 6 of the switch.

[0081] After the optical module is inserted, maintenance or replacement of the optical module may be faced in the later use, at this time the spring 6 for fixing the optical module needs to be lifted to release the locking of the optical module by the switch, and the optical module is taken out from the switch. Based on this, as shown in FIG. 12 and FIG. 13, the top end of the fixing arm 20 is provided with an unlocking protrusion 200, when the fixing arm 20 is in a natural state in the first groove 100 and the second groove 111, the horizontal edges of the fixing arm 20 on both sides of the unlocking protrusion 200 abut against the first stop step 1000 and the second stop step 1110, and the height of the unlocking protrusion 200 is higher than the height of the first stop step 1000 and the second stop step 1110. Wherein, the unlocking protrusion 200 and the main body of the fixing arm 20 are smooth connection. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 13, since the height of the unlocking protrusion 200 is higher than the height of the first stop step 1000 and the second stop step 1110, and the spring 6 abuts against the first stop step 1000 and the second stop step 1110, when the pull ring 2 is pulled, the pull ring 2 as a whole moves to the pulling direction, the unlocking protrusion 200 also moves backward, thereby lifting the spring 6. Since the unlocking protrusion 200 and the main body of the fixing arm 20 are smooth connection, that is, the unlocking protrusion 200 and the main body of the fixing arm 20 are arc connection, therefore the spring 6 will be lifted upward along the smooth surface between the unlocking protrusion 200 and the main body of the fixing arm 20, and separated from the optical module, thereby achieving unlocking.

[0082] Based on the structure of the unlocking protrusion 200, in the preferred scheme, by setting the unlocking protrusion 200 at the end of the fixing arm 20 of the pull ring 2, when the pull ring 2 is pulled out, the unlocking protrusion 200 can lift the spring 6 for fixing the optical module by the switch, so that the installation and disassembly between the optical module and the switch is more simple and convenient.

[0083] In order to make the fixed arm 20 better fit the first groove 100 and the second groove 111, prevent the fixed arm 20 from deforming after long-term use and not being able to completely fit the groove bottom of the first groove 100 and the second groove 111, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 14, the top plane of the first groove 100 is provided with a sink 1001, which is arranged close to the first stop step 1000; the upper side of the fixed arm 20 is provided with a limiting protrusion 201, the width of the limiting protrusion 201 is less than the width of the sink 1001; as shown in FIG. 15, when the fixed arm 20 is located in the first groove 100 and the second groove 111, the limiting protrusion 201 is located in the sink 1001.

[0091] The package shell 1 includes upper cover 10 and base 11, and the upper cover 10 and the base 11 are fixedly connected, and one end of the base 11 is provided with optical fiber interface 1120;Specifically, the upper cover 10 and the base 11 can be fixedly connected by screws.As shown in Figure 22, the optical device on the circuit board 4 is connected with optical fiber pin 41, the optical fiber pin 41 includes front positioning column 42 and rear positioning column 43, the front positioning column 42 and the rear positioning column 43 are rotationally connected, the front positioning column 42 is inserted into the optical fiber interface 1120, and the rear positioning column 43 is clamped with the disc fiber cover 5;In one embodiment, the type of the optical fiber pin 41 can be Lucent connector (LC for short).As shown in Figure 22, Figure 23 and Figure 24, the rear positioning column 43 is provided with clamping disc 430, one end of the disc fiber cover 5 is provided with first clamping groove 50, the first clamping groove 50 is arranged on the side of the disc fiber cover 5 facing the optical fiber interface 1120, when the rear positioning column 43 is clamped in the first clamping groove 50, the clamping disc 430 abuts with the outer side wall of the disc fiber cover 5, and the clamping disc 430 is limited by the disc fiber cover 5 and cannot rotate;Wherein, the disc fiber cover 5 is used for coiling the optical fiber connected between all the optical devices 46 and the rear positioning column 43 and separating the optical devices 46.Specifically, a plurality of clamping claws 51 are arranged on the side of the disc fiber cover 5, and the clamping claws 51 are used for coiling the optical fiber connected between all the optical devices 46 and the rear positioning column 43.The upper surface of the disc fiber cover 5 includes skylight area and closed area, the clamping claws 51 are arranged above the frame of the skylight area and the upper surface of the closed area respectively.

[0092] The number of the optical fiber pins 41 is two, one of which is connected with the TOSA 44 and the other is connected with the ROSA 45, and the front positioning column 42 of the optical fiber pin 41 is provided with a light port at the front end thereof, which is used for light emission or light incidence.

[0093] Compared with the prior art in which the optical device 46 and the fiber coil cover 5 are independently arranged, the embodiment of the present application covers the fiber coil cover 5 on the optical device 46 area of the circuit board 4, realizes the coiling of the optical fiber on the fiber coil cover 5 without occupying the space in the packaging shell 1 for the layout of the optical device 46 and the circuit board 4, avoids the double-layer layout of the circuit board 4 in the optical module, improves the heat dissipation capacity of the optical module, and further improves the performance of the optical module.

[0094] In the second aspect, the rear positioning column 43 of the optical fiber pin 41 is provided with a clamping disc 430, the clamping disc 430 and the fiber coil cover 5 are matched to make the rear positioning column 43 of the optical fiber pin 41 unable to rotate, and then the optical fiber fixed on the rear positioning column 43 is also unable to be twisted, thereby solving the problem that the rear optical fiber is twisted and broken when the cleaning rod is used to clean the optical fiber interface 1120.

[0095] According to the structure provided by the above scheme, the structural details of the above scheme will be further described in detail below.

[0096] In the above scheme, it is mentioned that the clamping disc 430 abuts against the outer side wall of the fiber coil cover 5, and the clamping disc 430 is limited by the fiber coil cover 5 and cannot rotate, specifically, in one embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 23 and 24, the outer side bottom of the end face of the fiber coil cover 5 where the first clamping groove 50 is located is provided with an anti-rotation boss 52, and the bottom surface of the clamping disc 430 is a horizontal plane, when the rear positioning column 43 is clamped in the first clamping groove 50, the bottom surface of the clamping disc 430 abuts against the upper surface of the anti-rotation boss 52. The bottom of the clamping disc 430 is set as a plane, so that the plane abuts against the upper surface of the anti-rotation boss 52, which can ensure that the clamping disc 430 does not rotate; in addition, the plane on the clamping disc 430 does not necessarily need to be arranged at the bottom, but can also be arranged on the side or the top, and correspondingly, the anti-rotation boss 52 is adjusted according to the position of the plane of the clamping disc 430 to ensure that the plane of the clamping disc 430 can abut against the plane of the anti-rotation boss 52.

[0097] In the above structure, it is mentioned that the front positioning column 42 is inserted into the optical fiber interface 1120, and specifically, as shown in FIGS. 25 and 26, the inner end face of the base 11 is provided with a positioning hole 115, which is in communication with the optical fiber interface 1120, is located at the center of the optical fiber interface 1120, and is used to accommodate the front positioning column 42. Therefore, when the optical fiber ferrule 41 is installed, it is inserted into the inner part of the optical fiber interface 1120 from the positioning hole 115.

[0098] As shown in FIGS. 26 and 27, a double-hole wave-absorbing sheet 7 is arranged between the clamping disc 430 and the base 11, and two round holes 70 are arranged on the double-hole wave-absorbing sheet 7, which are used for the front positioning column 42 to pass through and be inserted into the positioning hole 115. The reason for arranging the double-hole wave-absorbing sheet 7 between the optical fiber interface 1120 and the optical fiber ferrule 41 is that the double-hole wave-absorbing sheet 7 is a kind of material that can absorb the electromagnetic wave energy projected onto its surface, and plays a role of absorbing the electromagnetic radiation that may be generated in the optical module, which helps to reduce the potential impact of electromagnetic radiation on equipment and the environment; secondly, the double-hole wave-absorbing sheet 7 can effectively absorb the leaked electromagnetic radiation, so as to achieve the purpose of removing electromagnetic interference, and can ensure the normal work of the optical module and improve the stability and reliability of the system; in addition to the above direct effects, the double-hole wave-absorbing sheet 7 can also optimize certain performance parameters of the optical module through its special structure and material properties, for example, through the design and application of the wave-absorbing material, the performance indicators such as insertion loss and return loss of the optical module can be improved.

[0099] Considering that the disc fiber cover 5 is arranged inside the packaging shell 1 and covers the optical device 46, even if the disc fiber cover 5 can be limited by the protruding optical device 46, but during the process of taking out or installing the optical module, the optical module will inevitably be inclined due to operation, and relying on the optical device 46 to limit or block the disc fiber cover 5 cannot completely guarantee the stability of the disc fiber cover 5 inside the packaging shell 1, therefore, as shown in FIGS. 28 and 29, the inner side of the upper cover 10 is provided with a clamping plate 101, and two second clamping grooves 1010 are arranged on the clamping plate 101, the second clamping grooves 1010 are semicircular, and the second clamping grooves 1010 are clamped with the rear positioning column 43; when the second clamping grooves 1010 are clamped with the rear positioning column 43, the outer side face of the clamping plate 101 abuts against the inner side face of the disc fiber cover 5, so as to limit the disc fiber cover 5. Since the upper cover 10 and the base 11 are fixedly connected, the clamping plate 101 arranged on the upper cover 10 limiting the disc fiber cover 5 can guarantee that the disc fiber cover 5 remains stable in a shaking environment.

[0100] In the process of buckling the upper cover 10 and the base 11, high precision is required to make the screw holes on the upper cover 10 and the base 11 for fixing, therefore, as shown in FIG. 30 and FIG. 31, the inside of the upper cover 10 is provided with positioning protrusions 102 on both sides, the outside contour of the positioning protrusions 102 is consistent with the inside edge of the corresponding area of the base 11; the inside of the base 11 is provided with positioning bosses 116, when the upper cover 10 and the base 11 are buckled, the lower surface of the positioning protrusions 102 and the upper surface of the positioning bosses 116 abut. In the installation process, the positioning protrusions 102 and the positioning bosses 116 are coupled, which can ensure the coupling precision between the upper cover 10 and the base 11.

[0101] The optical devices 46 in the optical module, especially the light active devices, are responsible for converting electrical signals into optical signals or converting optical signals into electrical signals, and these optical devices 46 will generate optical signals when working, if there is no proper isolation between the optical devices 46, the optical signals may interfere with each other, leading to signal quality degradation and affecting communication performance, therefore, as shown in FIG. 32 and FIG. 33, the upper surface of the disc fiber cover 5 is processed to be provided with an isolation plate 53, the isolation plate 53 is provided with at least one claw 51, the isolation plate 53 and the side of the disc fiber cover 5 form a containing cavity, the containing cavity is used to contain the optical devices 46 on the circuit board 4, the bottom surface of the isolation plate 53 is provided with a shielding partition plate 530, which isolates each of the optical devices 46. Among them, the area where the isolation plate 53 is located is the closed area of the disc fiber cover 5. Based on this, the isolation plate 53 can effectively prevent the crosstalk between the optical signals of the optical devices 46, and the high-sensitivity optoelectronic devices can quickly and accurately detect and convert optical signals, but if the distance between the optoelectronic devices is too close, they may be affected by the optical signals generated by each other, leading to a decrease in sensitivity and signal stability. The use of the isolation plate 53 can ensure the appropriate distance between the optoelectronic devices, thereby improving the stability of the signal.

[0102] In addition to the above structure, considering the heat dissipation requirement of the optical devices 46, as shown in FIG. 34 and FIG. 35, the optical module further comprises a heat sink 8, the heat sink 8 comprises a fitting surface 80 and a heat dissipation surface 81; the fitting surface 80 is fitted with the bottom surface of the circuit board 4, and the heat dissipation surface 81 is fitted with the bottom surface of the optical device 46. Specifically, in this embodiment, the heat dissipation surface 81 is fitted with the bottom surface of the TOSA 44, and as shown in the dashed line box area of FIG. 36, the inside of the base 11 is specially provided with a specific area for containing the heat sink 8.

[0104] The circuit board 4 is generally a hard circuit board. Due to the relatively hard material of the hard circuit board, the hard circuit board can also achieve a bearing effect. For example, the hard circuit board can stably bear the electronic components and chips described above.

[0105] The gold fingers of the circuit board 4 are formed on the end surfaces thereof. The gold fingers are composed of a plurality of pins independent of each other. The circuit board 4 is inserted into the cage, and the gold fingers are in conductive connection with the electrical connectors in the cage. The gold fingers can be provided only on the surface of one side of the circuit board 4, or can be provided on the surfaces of the upper and lower sides of the circuit board 4 to adapt to occasions where a large number of pins are required. The gold fingers are configured to establish electrical connection with the upper computer to achieve power supply, grounding, I2C signal transmission, data signal transmission, and the like. Of course, a flexible circuit board can also be used in some optical modules. The flexible circuit board is generally used in cooperation with the hard circuit board to serve as a supplement to the hard circuit board. For example, the flexible circuit board is usually used to compensate for the alignment difference caused by fixing the laser and / or the detector in the BOSA device and the circuit board 4 in the optical module housing.

[0106] In summary, based on the above structure, the application embodiment further provides a use method of the optical module convenient for cleaning the fiber interface.
