Detailed Description
In the embodiments of the present application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.
In order to increase the number of optical communication devices that can be accessed by the network device, the number of slot connectors used for connecting the optical modules on the board may be increased, so that the board can connect more optical modules, and thus access more optical communication devices through the more optical modules. However, the width of the edge on the single board for setting the slot connector is limited, so that the number of the slot connectors that can be set on the single board is limited, the number of the optical modules that can be connected by the single board is limited, and the number of the optical communication devices that can be accessed by the network device is limited.
In order to solve this problem, the number of bi-directional optical sub-assembly (BOSA) integrated by a single optical module may be increased, and all the optical transceiver modules may share a gold finger connector to connect with a slot connector on a single board. In this way, a single optical module can realize the functions of a plurality of optical modules, and the optical module is connected with only one slot connector on the single board, so that the number of the slot connectors arranged on the single board does not need to be increased, and the limitation of the width of the single board is avoided, and the number of optical communication devices which can be accessed by the network device can be increased. However, since all the light emitting and receiving components in the optical module share one gold finger connector, the number of pins of the gold finger connector is large, the width of the slot connector on the board is large, and the occupied width of the slot connector on the board is large, so that the number of the optical communication devices that the network device can access is still limited by the width of the board.

The material of the housing 21 includes, but is not limited to, metal and plastic. The housing 21 includes a base 211 and a cover 212 detachably connected. The housing 21 is provided with an electrical interface a and a plurality of optical interfaces b. The electrical interface a is used to connect the socket connector 11 of the board 1. The optical interface b is used for connecting optical waveguides (such as optical fibers), and includes but is not limited to an SC-type optical fiber interface. The number of the optical interfaces b may be two, three, or four, and is not particularly limited herein. Fig. 2 only shows an embodiment in which the number of optical interfaces b is two, and the number of optical interfaces b is not limited.
Fig. 3 is an exploded view of the optical module shown in fig. 2. As shown in fig. 3, the light module 2 further includes a plurality of light emitting and receiving components 22. The plurality of light emitting/receiving elements 22 are disposed in the housing 21, the number of the plurality of light emitting/receiving elements 22 is equal to the number of the plurality of light interfaces b, the plurality of light emitting/receiving elements 22 correspond to the plurality of light interfaces b one to one, and the light connection end of each light emitting/receiving element 22 is opposite to the light interface b corresponding to the light emitting/receiving element 22.
Note that the optical transmit receive module 22 includes an optical transmit sub-assembly (TOSA), an optical receive sub-assembly (ROSA), and a wavelength division multiplexer. Wavelength division multiplexer has first end, second end and third end, and wavelength division multiplexer can couple the optical signal coupling of first end input to the second end output to the optical signal coupling of second end input is to the third end output, and TOSA's output is connected with wavelength division multiplexer's first end, and ROSA's input and wavelength division multiplexer's third end are connected. It can be seen that the optical connection end of the optical transceiver module 22 is also the second end of the wavelength division multiplexer.
As shown in fig. 3, the light module 2 further includes a gold finger connector 23. The golden finger connectors 23 are positioned in the electrical interface a, and the golden finger connectors 23 are electrically connected with the plurality of light emission receiving components 22. Fig. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of the gold finger connector 23 of the optical module 2 according to some embodiments of the present application. As shown in fig. 4, the gold finger connector 23 includes a substrate 231 and a plurality of pins 232 disposed on the substrate 231, wherein the plurality of pins 232 are arranged in a plurality of rows along the plugging direction of the gold finger connector 23.
In the optical module provided by the embodiment of the application, since the golden finger connectors 23 of the optical module 23 are electrically connected with the plurality of light emitting and receiving components 22, and since the gold finger connector 23 comprises the substrate 231 and the plurality of pins 232 disposed on the substrate 231, the plurality of pins 232 are arranged in a plurality of rows along the plugging direction of the gold finger connector 23, so that the width of the gold finger connector 23 can be increased without increasing the width of the gold finger connector 23, a larger number of pins are provided in the gold finger connector 23, so that a plurality of light emission reception elements 22 can share one gold finger connector 23, so that a plurality of light emitting and receiving assemblies 22 can be integrated in one optical module 2, so that a network device can simultaneously access a plurality of optical communication devices through one optical module 2, therefore, the number of optical communication devices which can be accessed by the network device can be increased, and the capacity of the optical communication network is improved.
The plurality of leads 232 may be disposed on one surface of the substrate 231, or disposed on two surfaces of the substrate 231, which is not limited herein. In some embodiments, fig. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of the golden finger connector of the optical module shown in fig. 4, as seen from the direction a, and fig. 6 is a schematic structural diagram of a back surface of the golden finger connector of the optical module shown in fig. 4. As shown in fig. 4, 5 and 6, the substrate 231 has a first surface 2311 and a second surface 2312 opposite to each other, a portion of the leads 232 are disposed on the first surface 2311, and the rest of the leads 232 are disposed on the second surface 2312. In this way, the plurality of pins 232 are dispersedly disposed on the first surface 2311 and the second surface 2312, and a larger number of pins can be disposed on the substrate 231 without increasing the width of the gold finger connector 23, so that the gold finger connector 23 can be connected with a larger number of light emitting and receiving components 22, and thus the number of optical communication devices that can be accessed by the network device can be further increased, and the capacity of the optical communication network can be improved.
In the above embodiments, the pins on the first surface 2311 may be arranged in two rows, three rows or four rows along the plugging direction of the gold finger connector 23, which is not limited herein. With the increase of the number of rows of the pins arranged on the first surface 2311, the length of the gold finger connector 23 along the plugging direction thereof is larger, the length of the slot connector 11 matched therewith along the plugging direction is larger, and the occupied area on the single board 1 is larger. In order to increase the capacity of the optical communication network and reduce the board occupation area of the socket connector 11 on the single board 1, in some embodiments, as shown in fig. 4, the pins on the first surface 2311 are arranged in two rows along the plugging direction of the gold finger connector 23, which are two rows along two dotted lines in fig. 4. In this way, the number of rows of pins on the first surface 2311 is moderate, so that the capacity of an optical communication network can be increased, and the board occupation area of the slot connector 11 on the single board 1 can be reduced.
Similarly, the pins on the second surface 2312 may be arranged in two rows, three rows or four rows along the plugging direction of the gold finger connector 23, which is not limited herein. With the increase of the number of rows of pins arranged on the second surface 2312, the longer the gold finger connector 23 along the plugging direction thereof is, the longer the length of the socket connector 11 along the plugging direction matched therewith is, and the larger the occupied area on the single board 1 is. In order to reduce the board occupation area of the slot connector 11 on the single board 1 while increasing the capacity of the optical communication network, in some embodiments, as shown in fig. 6, the pins on the second surface 2312 are arranged in two rows along the plugging direction of the gold finger connectors 23, which are two rows along the two dotted lines in fig. 6 respectively. In this way, the number of rows of pins on the second surface 2312 is moderate, so that the capacity of an optical communication network can be increased, and the board occupation area of the slot connector 11 on the single board 1 can be reduced.
In some embodiments, the pitch between two adjacent pins in each row of pins on the first surface 2311 and the second surface 2312 is 0.8mm, and the width of each pin (i.e., the width along the arrangement direction of the row of pins where the pin is located) is 0.5 mm.
The number of the leads in the plurality of rows of leads on the first surface 2311 and the second surface 2312 may be equal or different, and is not particularly limited herein. In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 4 and 6, the number of pins in each row of pins on the first surface 2311 and the second surface 2312 are equal. That is, the number of the pins in the multiple rows of pins on the first surface 2311 is equal, the number of the pins in the multiple rows of pins on the second surface 2312 is equal, and the number of the pins in each row of pins on the first surface 2311 is equal to the number of the pins in each row of pins on the second surface 2312. In this way, the pins are uniformly distributed on the first surface 2311 and the second surface 2312, and under the condition that the width of the gold finger connector 23 is not increased, a greater number of pins can be arranged on the substrate 231, so that the gold finger connector 23 can be connected with a greater number of light emitting and receiving components 22, thereby further increasing the number of optical communication devices that can be accessed by the network device, and improving the capacity of the optical communication network.
In the above embodiments, the number of pins in each row of pins on the first surface 2311 and the second surface 2312 may be 9, 10, 11 or 12, which is not limited herein. In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 4 and 6, the number of pins in each row of pins on the first surface 2311 and the second surface 2312 is 11.
In the plurality of pins 232, the pins for implementing different functions are generally different in length, for example, the length of the ground pin is generally greater than that of the power pin, the length of the power pin is generally greater than that of the signal pin, and when the plurality of pins with different lengths are arranged in a row, as shown in fig. 4 and 6, the pins are generally arranged with the midpoint of the pins along the length direction thereof as a reference. Therefore, gaps can occur between two adjacent rows of pins and at the front side of the front row of pins, and the gaps can cause the situation that the golden finger connector 23 is not smoothly inserted or is stuck in the process of being inserted into the slot connector 11.
To avoid this, in some embodiments, as shown in fig. 4 and fig. 6, a first transition structure 233 is disposed between two rows of pins adjacent to each other on the first surface 2311 and the second surface 2312 of the substrate 231 along the plugging direction of the gold finger connector 23, the first transition structure 233 is spaced from the two rows of pins adjacent to each other, and the height of the surface of the first transition structure 233 protruding out of the substrate 231 is equal to the height of the surface of the substrate 231 protruding out of the two rows of pins adjacent to each other. In this way, the first transition structure 233 can perform a smoothing function, so as to prevent the golden finger connector 23 from being inserted into the slot connector 11 in a non-smooth manner or being stuck.
