Detailed Description

The invention is described in detail below with reference to the following figures and examples:

referring to fig. 2, a first embodiment of the optical fiber flexible printed circuit board fixing device of the present invention includes an auxiliary unit 2 adapted to be pre-connected to the optical fiber flexible printed circuit board 9, and an inserting unit 3 adapted to position the optical fiber flexible printed circuit board 9.

The auxiliary unit 2 includes a hard plate 21 adapted to be stacked on the optical fiber flexible plate 9, and four fixing members 22 for fixing the hard plate 21 and the optical fiber flexible plate 9 and arranged at four corners approximately. The hard plate 21 is preferably made of a hard plastic material that is difficult to bend, or fiberglass, which is commonly used for circuit boards, or even a hard metal material. Each fixing member 22 is preferably selected from a screw, a bolt, or a rivet, and is only required to be able to reliably fix the overlapping relationship between the optical fiber flexible board 9 and the hard board 21 to prevent the optical fiber from falling off, and not to influence the optical fiber arrangement of the optical fiber flexible board 9, which is not limited to the above-mentioned type and distribution as shown in the figure.

The inserting unit 3 is used for fixing the hard plate 21 and the optical fiber soft plate 9, and includes a bottom plate 31, two side plates 32 bent from two opposite sides of the bottom plate 31 and extending in the same direction, and defining a slot 300 for positioning the hard plate 21 and the optical fiber soft plate 9 together with the bottom plate 31, and two positioning members 33 formed on one side of the bottom plate 31 opposite to the side plates 32 and used for positioning the inserting unit 3. Each side plate 32 has two clamping parts 321 which are spaced from each other and protrude towards the other side plate 32, the corresponding clamping parts 321 of the side plates 32 are used for being matched with each other, when the hard plates 21 and the optical fiber soft plates 9 which are overlapped with each other are inserted into the slots 300, the hard plates 21 are clamped and fixed, and the effect of reliably fixing the optical fiber soft plates 9 is achieved.

Referring to fig. 2 and 3, since the hard plate 21 has a supporting effect on the optical fiber soft plate 9, the optical fiber soft plate 9 can be fixed and positioned together when the hard plate 21 is inserted and fixed in the slot 300, without bending the optical fiber soft plate 9. The inserting unit 3 can be positioned in a casing of a wiring box or a terminal device through the positioning member 33 in advance, and then the optical fiber soft board 9 and the hard board 21 can be easily inserted and positioned, so that the purpose of simplifying configuration and implementation is achieved by using the modularized circuit configuration of the optical fiber soft board 9, and the optical fiber soft board 9 can be positioned more reliably, thereby solving the positioning problem of the optical fiber soft board 9 and enabling the circuit system configured on the optical fiber soft board 9 to operate normally.

Referring to fig. 4 and 5, a second embodiment of the optical fiber flexible printed circuit board fixing device of the present invention is shown, and the difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is: the rigid plate 21 of the auxiliary unit 2 has a main body portion 211 and a plurality of tab portions 212 extending from the main body portion 211 at intervals. The insertion unit 3 further includes two spacers 34 that are positionally changeable between the side plates 32 and divide the insertion slot 300 into three segment areas 301 corresponding to the tab portions 212, respectively. In practice, in order to fix the plurality of optical fiber flexible boards 9, a plurality of inserting units 3 can be provided as shown in fig. 5 to form a plurality of inserting slots 300 for inserting.

Referring to fig. 6, it should be noted that the side of the hard plate 21 opposite to the fiber-optic flexible plate 9 is matched with another fiber-optic flexible plate 9'. The single hard plate 21 can support both the optical fiber soft plates 9 and 9' to facilitate the simultaneous insertion and fixation.

Referring to fig. 5 to 7, in order to further prevent the flexible optical fiber board 9 from sliding in the extending direction of the insertion slot 300, the second embodiment can adjust the partition blocks 34 in advance, and adjust the size of the segment areas 301 formed according to the specification of the connecting piece portions 212, so that the connecting piece portions 212 can be inserted into the segment areas 301 of the insertion slot 300. By the transverse blocking effect of the spacer blocks 34, the hard plate 21 can be reliably positioned in the insertion groove 300, so that the optical fiber soft plate 9 is fixed, and besides, the hard plate 21 does not slide transversely along the extension direction of the insertion groove 300, and the optical fiber soft plate 9 can be more reliably positioned.
