A kind of joints of optical fibre and assembly method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to the optical fiber splicing device technical field, refer in particular to a kind of joints of optical fibre and assembly method thereof.
Background technology
Along with the development of the network technology, optical fiber has obtained increasingly extensive application as a kind of high speed, wideband data communications connectors spare.The common structure of optical fiber be from inside to outside fibre core, overlay, tight sleeve layer, spin the synthetic fibre layer, the protection overcoat coats successively and forms, the assembly structure of existing fiber connector mostly is that some glue is inserted optical fiber more earlier, as shown in Figure 1, traditional connector shell mostly adopts procapsid a and back casing b package assembly, when the more and more higher and smaller volume of joints of optical fibre density to a certain degree the time, the intensity of the junction of the joints of optical fibre shell of this structure is relatively poor; In addition, when smaller volume, this traditional connector is worn difficulty of fibre.
Summary of the invention
Purpose of the present invention is exactly that a kind of novel structure, intensity height, parts are few, the fibre joints of optical fibre and two kinds of assembly methods are easily worn in assembling for providing of providing at the deficiencies in the prior art part.
For achieving the above object, content of the present invention is a kind of joints of optical fibre, includes: outer cover body, ferrule assembly, flexible member, cover plate, and the cavity that communicates before and after having in the outer cover body, the side on outer cover body also is provided with opening; Ferrule assembly and flexible member assembling back are installed in the described cavity by described opening.
Described ferrule assembly can be by a global facility moulding, also can form by lock pin and lock pin tailstock, the front end of described lock pin tailstock has inserting groove, and the rear end of described lock pin tailstock has the pilot hole that communicates with inserting groove, and an end of lock pin is fixed in the inserting groove of lock pin tailstock.
Integrated injection molding has the metal caudal peduncle in described outer cover body rear end, and metal caudal peduncle center has through hole, and this through hole is communicated with described cavity; Have the front end through hole at described outer cover body front end, this front end through hole is communicated with described cavity.
The front end through hole that the front end of the lock pin in the described ferrule assembly passes outer cover body is exposed outside, and the front end face of lock pin tailstock supports and is located on the inwall that has the front end through hole; Flexible member is socketed on the lock pin tailstock and flexible member one end supports and to be located on the lock pin tailstock, and the flexible member other end supports and is located on the described cavity inner wall; The lock pin tail spindle makes that in activity is installed in described cavity the pilot hole at lock pin tailstock center is parallel corresponding with optical fiber reeve direction.
When inserting the optical fiber cooperation, drip in the core hole of lock pin fixing glue is arranged, the tight sleeve layer of the optical fiber after fiber stripping is handled pierces in the cavity by the through hole of outer cover body rear end metal caudal peduncle and is plugged in the pilot hole at lock pin tailstock center, the fibre core of optical fiber leading section solidifies after being plugged in core hole in the lock pin, and the cover plate of chatting is fixed on the outer cover body opening.
On described metal caudal peduncle, also be socketed with fixed fiber and spin the fixed sleeving and the heat-shrinkable T bush of synthetic fibre layer.
Described lock pin tailstock is made by metal material, and lock pin is generally used ceramic material.
Described flexible member is a spring.
The present invention adopts first kind of assembly method of said structure, and this method is assembled by outer cover body, the cover plate of ferrule assembly, flexible member, lateral opening, and this method includes following steps:
The first step is enclosed within flexible member on the ferrule assembly;
Second step was installed in ferrule assembly and the flexible member opening by the outer cover body side in the cavity of outer cover body, flexible member one end was supported being located on the ferrule assembly, and the flexible member other end supports and is located on the described cavity inner wall;
The 3rd step splashed into fixing glue in ferrule assembly, fixing glue is filled in the core hole of ferrule assembly;
In the 4th step, pierce into cavity in by the outer cover body rear end optical fiber insertion end and be plugged in the core hole in the ferrule assembly;
The 6th step was heating and curing to ferrule assembly, and the fibre core of optical fiber is fixed in the interior core hole of ferrule assembly;
In the 7th step, cover plate is covered on the lateral opening of outer cover body.
The present invention adopts second kind of assembly method of said structure, and this method is assembled by outer cover body, the cover plate of ferrule assembly, flexible member, lateral opening, and this method includes following steps:
The first step pierces into the optical fiber insertion end in the cavity by the outer cover body rear end, flexible member is enclosed within on the optical fiber insertion end again;
Second step splashed into fixing glue in ferrule assembly, fixing glue is filled in the core hole of ferrule assembly;
The 3rd step was heating and curing to ferrule assembly, and the fibre core of optical fiber is fixed in the interior core hole of ferrule assembly;
The 4th step was installed in ferrule assembly, flexible member and the optical fiber insertion end opening by the outer cover body side in the cavity of outer cover body, flexible member one end was supported being located on the ferrule assembly, and the flexible member other end supports and is located on the described cavity inner wall;
In the 5th step, cover plate is covered on the lateral opening of outer cover body.
More than two kinds of assembly methods also comprise following final step: will being enclosed within fixed sleeving on the optical fiber in advance, to be enclosed within on the metal caudal peduncle with the outer cover body integrated injection molding back fastening, will be enclosed within heat-shrinkable T bush on the optical fiber more in advance and be enclosed within on the fixed sleeving heat shrink and fix.
Adopt said structure and assembly method, the present invention has the following advantages:
One, because outer cover body of the present invention is a global facility, therefore its intensity height has overcome the defective of the connector shell structure of traditional front and back assembling: when the more and more higher and smaller volume of joints of optical fibre density to a certain degree the time, the intensity of the junction of joints of optical fibre shell is relatively poor;
Its two, during the smaller volume of traditional fiber connector, wear difficulty of fine assembling, and two kinds of assembly methods disclosed by the invention can see optical fiber head is inserted in the hole of ferrule assembly correspondence that these two kinds of assembly methods are convenient and simple with eyes when wearing fine assembling;
Its three because outer cover body lateral opening of the present invention, therefore, the just die sinking as required of cavity size shape in the outer cover body, and the interior cavity size shape of the shell of conventional seals can be subjected to the restriction of the technology of die sinking;
Its four, joints of optical fibre parts of the present invention are few, it is low to produce cost.
