Optical module 3 is assembled in the accepting groove 121 of insulating body 1, and it is included in the pedestal 30 slided along the longitudinal direction in the accepting groove 121 of insulating body 1, is arranged on four lens 33 on pedestal 30.Optical fiber 8 is connected with lens 33.The centre position, front end of pedestal 30 is provided with matches and front wide and rear narrow V-shaped groove 32 with stop block 124.Four lens 33 are arranged in the left and right sides of the V-shaped groove 32 of pedestal 30 respectively.Pedestal 30 has front (upper surface) 301 and reverse side (lower surface) 302, and front 301 scribbles identification color 303, and reverse side 302 is the true qualities of similar transparent.Can with unusual pen front 301 or the left and right sides, front 301 painted.Also alternate manner can be adopted to make front 301 different from the color of reverse side 302, so that distinguish front 301 and reverse side 302.
Optical fiber 8 extends in groove 111 from holding slot 112, and be linked to lens 33 rear end with lens 33 optically-coupled, thus provide high speed optical signal transmission.Groove 111 has front wide and rear narrow structure, both can provide optical fiber left and right activity space, is conducive to the floating effect increasing optical module 3; Optical fiber 8 can be made again more reliably to be positioned on insulating body 1, and not affect metal core wire (not shown) and weld mutually with the first afterbody 213 of the first terminal 21 and the second afterbody 223 of the second terminal 22.Rib 1111 in groove 111, for by spaced apart for two optical fiber 8 in same groove 111, prevent from being wound around between optical fiber 8, affects the transmission of light signal.
Pedestal 30 is provided with pilot hole 34 to connect with the cylinder on butt connector (not shown) in the both sides of two lens 33, thus makes the center line complete matching of pin connector and socket connector, guarantees the quality of light signal transmission.The rear end of pedestal 30 is provided with the projection 36 of a projection backward, and the front end of elastic component 4 is fixed on projection 36, therefore this elastic component 4 is clamped between insulating body 1 and pedestal 30 to support forward pedestal 30.
Optical module 3 lays respectively at insulating body about 1 both sides with the first terminal 21 and the second terminal 22, and the lens 33 in the pedestal 30 of optical module 3 are positioned at the front of the first terminal 21 and the second terminal 22.Adopt above-mentioned method for designing, the volume of whole connector can be reduced, and facilitate the assembling of each assembly.
Shell 7 is made up of sheet metal, and its coated insulation body 1 is to provide fine shield effectiveness.This shell 7 comprises the extension 72 of the orthogonal frame in cross section 71 and cross section one-tenth U-shaped.Frame 71 has host cavity 710.
Shell 7 is assembled into insulating body 1, and wherein the front portion of main part 11 and hyoplastron 12 are inserted in the host cavity 710 of frame 71, and main part 11 rear portion is placed in extension 72.Optical module 3 slides along the longitudinal direction on insulating body 1.
Separately, in other embodiments, the present invention also comprises a cross section and roughly becomes the auxiliaring shell of inverted U-shape to be assembled in above extension 72.
Again, the present invention also can comprise a cover plate 13, and this cover plate 13 is installed on above hyoplastron 12 rear portion, for hiding the optical fiber 8 be contained in groove 111.This cover plate 13 lower surface is provided with a pair erection column 131, and this can be interfered erection column and is contained in hyoplastron 12 above in corresponding mounting hole 125.
The manufacture method of connector 100 of the present invention is as follows:
Insulating body 1 is provided;
Conducting terminal 2 is provided, and conducting terminal 2 is assembled into insulating body 1;
Optical module 3 is provided, painted in the front 301 of optical module 3;
Optical fiber 8 is provided, optical fiber 8 is assembled to the lens 33 of optical module 3;
Elastic component 4 is provided;
Optical module 3 is assembled in the accepting groove 121 of insulating body 1, optical fiber 8 is placed in groove 111, and elastic component 4 is placed between optical module 3 and insulating body 1;
Cover plate 13 is provided, cover plate 13 is assembled into above insulating body 1, thus optical fiber 8 is positioned in groove 111;
Shell 7 is provided, insulating body 1 is assembled in the host cavity 710 of the frame 71 of shell 7.
Due to the positive face colouring at optical module 3, clearly can distinguish pros and cons, in order to avoid assembling dislocation.
When pin connector inserts the butt-joint socket connector with respective optical module, pilot hole 34 on the optical module 3 of pin connector matches with the cylinder on the optical module of corresponding butt-joint socket connector, when the length size of pilot hole 34 and cylinder inconsistent time, the optical module 3 of this pin connector can slide along the longitudinal direction and adjust under the acting force of elastic component 4, thus the optical module 3 on pin connector is coordinated reliably with the optical module on corresponding socket connector.After pin connector is extracted, pedestal 30 forward slip under the acting force of elastic component 4, now, stop block 124 supports in the V-shaped groove 32 of pedestal 30 front end, this stop block 124 of one side is positioned at optical module 3 front end and can prevents optical module 3 from skidding off forward accepting groove 121, on the other hand, this stop block 124 matches with the V-shaped groove 32 on optical module 3 thus can prevent optical module 3 rocking in the lateral direction.
Above embodiment discloses the photoelectricity signal connector being transmitted electric signal and lens 33 transmission light signal by conducting terminal 2.And in other embodiments, also only transmission light signal connector can be configured for by assemblies such as lens 33 and optical fiber 8.
