Embodiment
In order to there be understanding clearly to technical characteristic of the present invention, object and effect, now contrast accompanying drawing and describe the specific embodiment of the present invention in detail.
Be described below in detail the embodiment of the joints of optical fibre of the present invention, the example of these embodiments is shown in the drawings, and wherein same or similar label represents same or similar element or has element that is identical or similar functions from start to finish.
In the description of the joints of optical fibre of the present invention, it will be appreciated that, term "front", "rear", " on ", D score, " upper end ", " lower end ", " top ", the orientation of the instruction such as " bottom " or position relationship be based on orientation shown in the drawings or position relationship, only the present invention for convenience of description and simplified characterization, instead of indicate or imply that the device of indication or element must have specific orientation, with specific azimuth configuration and operation, therefore can not be interpreted as limitation of the present invention.In addition, term " first ", " second " etc. only for describing object, and can not be interpreted as instruction or hint relative importance.
The joints of optical fibre of the present invention be both applicable to the joints of optical fibre of single core, were applicable to the joints of optical fibre of multicore too.Be particularly useful for such joints of optical fibre, when the joints of optical fibre dock, the optical fiber of two connectors occurs bending and deformation because of the docking pressure of end face, thus ensures the reliable docking of the optical fiber of two docking.Illustrate how the joints of optical fibre of the present invention realize for the joints of optical fibre of a multicore below.
As shown in Fig. 1 to Fig. 3 b, be a preferred embodiment of the joints of optical fibre of the present invention, the joints of optical fibre of this embodiment comprise housing 1, lock pin 2 and optical fiber 3.Wherein lock pin 2 is arranged on the front end of housing 1, lock pin 2 is fixedly connected with housing 1 in the present embodiment, it is to be appreciated that in other embodiments, lock pin 2 also can adopt the structure be flexibly connected with housing 1, and namely lock pin 2 can slide by housing 1 relatively in housing 1.Optical fiber 3 to be entered in housing 1 by the tail end of housing 1 and is fixed in housing 1 at least partially, the front end of optical fiber 3 at least has one section of bare fibre 31 for docking, when docking with another joints of optical fibre, the bare fibre 31 of these joints of optical fibre docks with the end face of the bare fibre of another connector, to realize continuing of light path.In order to ensure that bare fibre 31 can accurately dock, lock pin 2 has the bullport 21 for guiding bare fibre 31, bare fibre 31 to be inserted in bullport 31 and to make bare fibre 31 can axially freely movable along bullport 21 in bullport 21, such as bare fibre 31 and bullport 21 can be clearance fit, when the front end face of bare fibre 31 is subject to docking pressure, bare fibre 31 can move backward relative to bullport 21, certainly, it will be appreciated that, also can be that lock pin 2 moves backward relative to described bare fibre 31, the end of described bare fibre 31 is made to expose lock pin 2 and dock with the end face of another bare fibre.In order to better obtain higher switching performance, the front end of bare fibre 31 has the abrasive tip 311 formed through grinding.The abrasive tip 311 of bare fibre 31 can protrude from the front end face of lock pin 2, or the abrasive tip 311 of bare fibre 31 is positioned at bullport 21, or the abrasive tip 311 of bare fibre 31 flushes with the front end face of lock pin 2.
