A
clamshell type physical connector disclosed by the present invention comprises a male joint and a female joint, two
piston cylinders connected with an air supply portion are arranged in a rotating cylinder, moving pistons are slidably connected in the
piston cylinders, springs are fixed on the moving pistons and the
piston cylinders, a driving rod is fixed on the moving pistons, and the driving rod is fixed on the rotating cylinder. An arc-shaped block abutting against the first connecting
optical fiber and the second connecting
optical fiber is fixed to the driving rod. When the male connector and the female connector are connected, the rotating cylinder rotates, the air supply part conveys air into the
piston cylinder to drive the moving piston, the driving rod and the arc-shaped block to move, and the arc-shaped block abuts against the first connecting
optical fiber and the second connecting optical
fiber and rotates. Manual optical
fiber alignment is not needed, optical
fiber end face damage is effectively avoided, and the
assembly failure rate is reduced; the arc-shaped blocks are driven by air pressure to clamp and rotate and center, so that eccentric deviation is automatically eliminated, high-precision coaxial
butt joint of optical fibers is realized, and stable transmission and low loss are guaranteed.
