Embodiment
Referring to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, is a kind of optically-coupled lens 100 that embodiment of the present invention provides, and it comprises a body 10 and a pedestal 60.
Shown in Fig. 3, this body 10 is made by light transmissive material, and comprises a lens section 11 and two connecting portions 13 that are connected with this lens section 11.On each connecting portion 13, all offer a pilot hole 130.This lens section 11 comprises an end face 111, bottom surface 112, side 113, reflecting surface 114, supporting surface 115 and a joint face 116.This end face 111 and this opposing setting in bottom surface 112, and be parallel to each other.Vertical this end face 111 and this bottom surface 112 of connecting, this side 113.This reflecting surface 114 is connected with this end face 111.This reflecting surface 114 is 135 degree angles with this end face 111, and is 45 degree angles with this bottom surface 112.This supporting surface 115 and this opposing setting in side 113, and be parallel to each other.This joint face 116 connects this reflecting surface 114 and this supporting surface 115.This joint face 116 is parallel to each other with this end face 111.In the present embodiment, this lens section 11 and these two connecting portions 13 structure that is formed in one, and these two connecting portions 13 stretch out from the relative both sides of this lens section 11.The quantity of this connecting portion 13 is not limited to present embodiment.
Shown in Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, a plurality of the first light collecting parts 121 are set on this bottom surface 112, a plurality of the second light collecting parts 122 are set on this side 113, this second light collecting part 122 is corresponding one by one with this first light collecting part 121.This reflecting surface 114 is for the second light collecting part 122 to correspondence by the light reflection from these the first light collecting part 121 outgoing, also for the first light collecting part 121 to correspondence by the light reflection from these the second light collecting part 122 outgoing.
This pedestal 60 comprises a upper surface 61, lower surface 62 and an interface 63.This lower surface 62 and the opposing setting of this upper surface 61.Vertical this upper surface 61 and this lower surface 62 of connecting of this interface 63.This upper surface 61 is offered a groove 610 that runs through this interface 63 near the position of this interface 63.This groove 610 comprises a first side wall 611 and two the second sidewalls 612.These two the second sidewalls 612 are oppositely arranged, these two the second sidewalls 612 of these the first side wall 611 vertical connections.On each second sidewall 612, all offer a locating slot 620 that runs through this upper surface 61, this locating slot 620 is connected with this groove 610.A reference column 621 is set on the bottom surface of each locating slot 620.A groove 630 that runs through this lower surface 62 is offered near the position of this first side wall 611 in the bottom of this groove 610.The length of this bottom surface 112 of this lens section 11 and width equate with length and the width of this groove 630 respectively, and this bottom surface 112 is coupled with this groove 630.Certainly, the quantity of this locating slot 620 and this reference column 621 is not limited to present embodiment.
Two contraposition posts 631 are set on this interface 63, to match with the registration holes (not shown) in a joints of optical fibre (not shown), realize the optically-coupled of the optical fiber in these optically-coupled lens 100 and these joints of optical fibre.The quantity of this contraposition post 631 is not limited to present embodiment.
As shown in Figure 6, the assembling process of these optically-coupled lens 100 is as follows: this lens section 11 is embedded in this groove 630, this supporting surface 115 supports with this first side wall 611, and the plurality of the first light collecting part 121 exposes from this groove 630, and the plurality of the second light collecting part 122 exposes from this groove 610.These two reference columns 621 are plugged in respectively in these two pilot holes 130, thereby this body 10 is securely fixed on this pedestal 60.More firm for what this body 10 was fixed, also can in this locating slot 620, carry out a glue.
The course of work of these optically-coupled lens 100 is as follows: the light that light emitting module (not shown) is launched is assembled to this reflecting surface 114 by the first light collecting part 121 of correspondence, after being reflexed to the second corresponding light collecting part 122 and assemble by this reflecting surface 114, enter in corresponding optical fiber (not shown); Otherwise, from the light of optical fiber outgoing, by the second light collecting part 122 of correspondence, assembled to this reflecting surface 114, after being reflexed to the first corresponding light collecting part 121 and assemble by this reflecting surface 114, by corresponding receipts optical module (not shown), received.
In other embodiments, this supporting surface 115 and this joint face 116 also can save, and directly this reflecting surface 114 are connected to this bottom surface 112.
Compared with prior art, optically-coupled lens 100 of the present invention, because this body 10 is separate with this pedestal 60, are not one-body molded.For the mould of the integrated optically-coupled lens of manufacture, manufacture separately the mould of this body 10 and manufacture separately the structure of mould of this pedestal 60 all fairly simple, ratio of precision is easier to control, thereby can effectively improve the product yield of these optically-coupled lens 100.
Be understandable that, for the person of ordinary skill of the art, can make other various corresponding changes and distortion by technical conceive according to the present invention, and all these change and distortion all should belong to the protection domain of the claims in the present invention.
