Referring to fig. 1-2, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of an optical fiber circuit board unit according to the present invention. Fig. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the fiber circuit board unit of the embodiment of fig. 1. The present embodiment will be described with a configuration in which the number of optical fiber components is one.
The optical fiber circuit board unit 10 of the present embodiment includes a base 11, an optical fiber assembly 12, and a protector 13. The optical fiber assembly 12 is mounted on the base 11 and extends from the fiber outlet 111 of the base 11. The base 11 is attached to the protector 13 to fix the protector 13.
The protective member 13 is fixed on the base 11, and the protective member 13 includes a protective region 131, and the optical fiber assembly 12 is located in the protective region 131 of the protective member 13, so as to protect the optical fiber assembly 12 through the protective region 131. Specifically, the protecting member 13 extends in synchronization with the extension of the optical fiber assembly 12 to integrally protect the optical fiber assembly 12 outside the fiber outlet 111 and inside the protecting region 131. Wherein the protective element 13 is located within the base body 11 to a depth of more than 1 mm, for example: the specific depth of the protective member 13 in the base 11 may be 1 mm, 1.3 mm, 1.5 mm, 3 mm, 10 mm, 20 mm, etc., and may be determined based on the length of the base 11 in practical use, and is not limited herein.
In a specific application scenario, the substrate 11 includes at least two base layers 112, where the at least two base layers 112 are disposed on opposite sides of the optical fiber assembly 12 in a fitting manner to fix the optical fiber assembly 12. In a specific application scenario, the substrate 11 may include 4 substrates 112,4 substrates 112 that are attached to the periphery of the optical fiber assembly 12 to fix the optical fiber assembly 12.
In one particular application scenario, the fiber optic assembly 12 may include: at least one optical fiber 121. The arrangement manner of the at least one optical fiber 121 may be side by side, stacked and staggered, stacked and arranged in an array or randomly, and the specific arrangement manner of the at least one optical fiber 121 may be set according to actual requirements, which is not limited herein. It will be appreciated that the optical fibers 121 included in the fiber optic assembly 12 may be arranged side-by-side in a single layer or in multiple layers. The multiple layers of the arrangement structures are stacked layer by layer, and the number of the optical fibers 121 in each layer can be different, and the arrangement positions can also be non-overlapping.
In the present embodiment, the surface of a part of the optical fiber 121 in the optical fiber assembly 12 is in contact with the protector 13. The protector 13 covers the optical fiber assembly 12 to protect the optical fiber 121 in the optical fiber assembly 12. The structure that the surface of part of the optical fibers 121 contacts the protecting member 13 in this embodiment is mainly applied to the case where the number of the optical fibers 121 in the optical fiber assembly 12 is small. However, in other embodiments, when the number of optical fibers 121 in the optical fiber assembly 12 is large, when all the optical fibers 121 are disposed in the protection area 131, there may be an excessive number of optical fibers 121, and there is a risk of disorder or scattering of the arrangement sequence, so the optical fiber assembly 12 may be coated by the base 11 in advance, and then the protection member 13 is added to the optical fiber assembly 12 and the base 11 for coating the same. At this time, the optical fiber assembly 12 is disposed at a distance from the protector 13. The specific position of the protecting member 23 according to the present invention may be determined based on the actual manufacturing method of the optical fiber circuit board unit 10, and is not limited herein.
With the above-described structure, the optical fiber circuit board unit 10 of the present embodiment is provided with the protector 13 fixed on the base 11, and the optical fiber assembly 12 is located in the protection area 131 of the protector 13. The fiber assembly 12 extending from the fiber outlet 111 is protected by a protection zone 131 of the protector 13. When the optical fiber assembly 12 is impacted by external force, the problem of stress concentration of the optical fiber 121 in the optical fiber assembly 12 at the fiber outlet 111 is reduced due to the blocking or slowing action of the protection area 131, so that the occurrence of fracture of the optical fiber 121 is reduced, and the service life of the optical fiber 121 and the reliability of the optical fiber circuit board unit 10 are improved.
Referring to fig. 3-4, fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of another embodiment of an optical fiber circuit board unit according to the present invention. Fig. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the fiber circuit board unit in the embodiment of fig. 3. The optical fiber circuit board unit 20 of the present embodiment includes: a base 21, an optical fiber assembly 22, and a protector 23. The base 21 includes a fiber outlet 211, the optical fiber assembly 22 is mounted on the base 21, and the base 21 and the optical fiber assembly 22 are attached. Specifically, the fiber optic assembly 22 is secured within the base 21 and extends out through the fiber exit 211.
The present embodiment is described taking the optical fiber assembly 22 including a plurality of optical fibers 221 arranged in a stacked arrangement as an example, but other structures in the optical fiber assembly 22 are the same as those in the above-described embodiment. Specifically, the positions of the base 21, the protector 23 and the optical fiber 221, the fixing manner of the protector 23 and the base 21, and the depth range of the protector 23 in the base 21 in this embodiment are the same as those of the above-described embodiments.
In the present embodiment, an adhesive layer 222 is provided between the optical fibers 221 fixedly disposed in the base 21. In a specific application scenario, an adhesive layer 222 is disposed between each layer of the plurality of optical fibers 221 that are stacked and arranged and between the optical fibers 221 of other layers adjacent to the optical fibers, so that in the process of arranging the optical fibers 221, after the lowermost optical fibers 221 are arranged and fixed, one layer of adhesive layer 222 is covered on the lowermost optical fibers 221, so that the second optical fibers 221 are continuously covered and fixed on the lowermost optical fibers 221, and the preparation of the plurality of optical fibers 221 that are stacked and arranged, that is, the optical fiber assembly 22, is realized layer by layer. And no glue layer 222 is provided between the layers of optical fibers 221 extending out of the fiber outlet 22 of the optical fiber assembly 22, so as to improve the flexibility of use of the optical fibers 221. In a specific application scenario, each optical fiber 221 in the matrix 21 and other adjacent optical fibers 221 may also be fixed by an adhesive layer 222, which is not limited herein.
In this embodiment, further, the protection area 231 in the protection member 23 has a closed cross section, that is, the protection member 23 is disposed around the entire circumference of the optical fiber assembly 22 to protect at least one optical fiber 221 in the optical fiber assembly 22. The protector 23 is fixed in the base 21 and covers the entire portion of the at least one optical fiber 221 extending out of the base 21. And the protecting member 23 also covers a portion of the at least one optical fiber 221 adjacent to the fiber outlet 211 and overlapping the base 21, so as to further protect the at least one optical fiber 221. It should be noted that, when the protector 23 is disposed at a distance from the optical fiber assembly 22 in other embodiments, a portion of the protector 23 located inside the base 21 is disposed at a distance from a portion of the optical fiber assembly 22 located inside the base 21; while the portion of the protective member 23 extending out of the base 21 can be adjusted according to the length of the optical fiber assembly 22 extending out of the base 21. For example: when the length of the optical fiber assembly 22 extending out of the base 21 is long, the protecting member 23 covers the portion of the optical fiber assembly 22 extending out of the base 21, and the portion of the protecting member 23 gradually moving away from the fiber outlet 111 gradually approaches the optical fiber assembly 22 due to the fracture of the base 21, so as to finally contact with the optical fiber assembly 22. When the length of the optical fiber assembly 22 extending out of the base 21 is short, the protecting member 23 may cover the portion of the optical fiber assembly 22 extending out of the base 21 and be spaced apart from the optical fiber assembly 22.
In a specific application scenario, the protection member 23 may include a hollow passage therethrough, and the protection region 231 is the hollow passage. The optical fiber assembly 22 is disposed in the hollow passage to be protected by the protector 23. In a specific application scenario, the protecting member 23 may be a tube sleeve structure, and the protecting region 231 is a space in the tube sleeve structure, where the optical fiber assembly 22 is disposed, so as to protect at least one optical fiber 221 of the optical fiber assembly 22. In a specific application scenario, the protecting member 23 may be a heat-shrinkable tube with a closed cross section, the protecting region 231 is an in-tube space of the heat-shrinkable tube, and the optical fiber assembly 22 is disposed in the tube of the heat-shrinkable tube, so as to protect at least one optical fiber 221 of the optical fiber assembly 22 through the heat-shrinkable tube. In a specific application scenario, the protecting member 23 may also be a flexible material with a closed section, so that the optical fiber assembly 22 is covered by the flexible material, so as to protect the at least one optical fiber 221, and the specific material of the protecting member 23 is not limited herein.
Optionally, a portion of the surface of the optical fiber assembly 22 contacts the protection member 23, that is, the inner side of the protection member 23 wraps around and contacts the optical fiber 221 outside the optical fiber assembly 22 to protect the optical fiber assembly 22. In other embodiments, however, a glue layer may be provided on the inner side of the protecting member 23 adjacent to the optical fiber assembly 22, so as to fix the protecting member 23 and the optical fiber assembly 22 through the glue layer, thereby further enhancing the fixation protection of the at least one optical fiber 221. At this time, all the optical fibers 221 of the optical fiber assembly 22 are not in contact with the protection member 23.
In a specific application scenario, the arrangement sequence between at least one optical fiber 221 may be arranged based on the chromatogram or other properties of each optical fiber 221, or may be arranged randomly. In a specific application scenario, when at least one optical fiber 221 needs to be arranged based on the chromatogram or other properties of each optical fiber 221, a glue layer 222 may also be disposed between at least one optical fiber 221, so as to fix the arrangement position between at least one optical fiber 221, thereby facilitating connection between the optical fiber 221 and the optical port. In other embodiments, no adhesion substance may be disposed between the at least one optical fiber 221, and the at least one optical fiber 221 may be movably disposed between them. When the optical fibers 221 are used, the arrangement sequence of at least one optical fiber 221 can be adjusted according to the actual requirement, so as to adapt to different use scenarios, and improve the flexibility of use of at least one optical fiber 221.
In one specific application scenario, the material of the substrate 21 includes a flexible material and a rigid material. When the substrate 21 is made of a flexible material, the substrate 21 may be a cover film, and a glue layer (not shown in the figure) is disposed on a side of the cover film, which is close to the at least one optical fiber 221, so as to be attached to the optical fiber assembly 22, thereby fixing the optical fiber assembly 22. The cover film is also called a base film, plays a role of supporting the glue layer, and can be made of any material. In a specific application scenario, the substrate 21 may also be a material that has a certain viscosity at normal temperature (20-25 degrees celsius) or a specific temperature, and can bond and fix the optical fiber assembly 22, which is not limited herein.
When the substrate 21 is made of a rigid material, the substrate 21 may be a base layer of a printed circuit board, and the optical fiber assembly 22 is fixed by the rigid base layer. In a specific application scenario, the material of the base 21 may be rigid-flexible, that is, the material of the base 21 may include: the base layer, the covering film and the adhesive layer of the printed circuit board are suitable for different application scenes.
Through the above structure, the optical fiber circuit board unit 20 of the present embodiment has the following beneficial effects: the protection member 23 with a closed cross section is used for protecting the optical fiber assembly 22 in an omnibearing manner so as to reduce and/or block the omnibearing stress of the at least one optical fiber 221, thereby reducing the problem that the at least one optical fiber 221 in the optical fiber assembly 22 is easy to generate stress concentration at the fiber outlet 211. The protection member 23 of the present embodiment also covers the position where at least one optical fiber 221 extends from the base 21, and the protection member 23 is also disposed inside the base 21 along with the at least one optical fiber 221, so as to further protect the at least one optical fiber 221 at the fiber outlet 211, so as to reduce occurrence of breakage of the at least one optical fiber 221 caused by stress concentration of the at least one optical fiber 221 in the optical fiber assembly 22, thereby improving service life of the optical fiber 221 and quality and reliability of the optical fiber circuit board unit 20.
Referring to fig. 5-6, fig. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of an optical fiber circuit board unit according to another embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 6 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the fiber circuit board unit in the embodiment of fig. 5. The optical fiber circuit board unit 30 of the present embodiment includes: a base 31, an optical fiber assembly 32, and a protector 33. The base 31 includes a fiber outlet 311, the optical fiber assembly 32 is mounted on the base 31, and the base 31 and the optical fiber assembly 32 are attached. Specifically, the optical fiber assembly 32 is disposed in the substrate 31 and extends out through the fiber outlet 311.
In this embodiment, the optical fiber assembly 32 includes at least one optical fiber 321 arranged in a stacked manner, and other structures in the optical fiber assembly 32 are the same as those in the above embodiment. Specifically, the positions of the base 31, the protector 33, and the optical fiber 321, the fixing manner of the protector 33 and the base 31, and the depth range of the protector 33 within the base 31 in the present embodiment are the same as those of the above-described embodiments.
In the present embodiment, the optical fiber 321 provided in the base 31 is fixed by the base 31. In a specific application scenario, a matrix 31 is disposed between each layer of the plurality of optical fibers 321 and between the optical fibers 321 of other layers adjacent to the layer of the plurality of optical fibers 321, so that in the process of arranging the optical fibers 321, after the lowermost optical fibers 321 are arranged and fixed, a layer of matrix 31 is covered on the lowermost optical fibers 321, so that the second layer of optical fibers 321 are continuously covered and fixed on the lowermost optical fibers 321, and the preparation of the plurality of optical fibers 321, namely the optical fiber assembly 32, in a layer-by-layer manner is realized. And the substrate 31 is not disposed between the layers of optical fibers 321 extending out of the fiber outlet 32 of the optical fiber assembly 32, so as to improve the flexibility of use of the optical fibers 321. In a specific application scenario, each optical fiber 321 in the matrix 31 and other adjacent optical fibers 321 may also be fixed by the matrix 31, which is not limited herein. In other embodiments, the matrix 31 between the optical fibers 321 may be replaced with a glue layer or other fixing material to achieve a stacked arrangement of the optical fibers 221.
In this embodiment, further, the protection zone 331 has a non-closed cross section. Specifically, the protection member 33 includes two plates disposed in parallel and opposite to each other, and disposed on opposite sides of the optical fiber assembly 32. The non-enclosed space formed between the two plates is a protection area for protecting the optical fiber assembly 32. Although the protection area 331 is a non-enclosed space, when the stress concentration occurs in the optical fiber assembly 32 of the fiber outlet 311, the protection area 331 with a non-enclosed cross section still provides a certain blocking or slowing effect, so as to reduce the problem of the stress concentration of the optical fiber 321 in the optical fiber assembly 32 at the fiber outlet 311. It will be appreciated that the two plates may be disposed in a crossed or perpendicular arrangement, so long as the optical fiber assembly 32 is located in the protection area 331 formed by the two plates together, the optical fiber assembly 32 may be protected. Obviously, based on the above analysis, the protector 33 may also comprise a single plate or multiple plates (more than two plates); specifically, a single plate is disposed on either side of the fiber optic assembly 32 to form a non-enclosed space that protects the fiber optic assembly 32. When the protecting member 33 is a plurality of plates, the plurality of plates are connected end to end in sequence, but are not closed, and the space between the plurality of plates is the protecting area; taking three plates as an example, the three plates are connected end to end in sequence and disposed on three adjacent sides of the optical fiber assembly 32 to form a non-enclosed space for protecting the optical fiber assembly 32.
In another specific embodiment, the protecting member 33 includes a hollow channel and a notch communicating with the hollow channel, and the non-closed space formed by the hollow channel and the notch together forms the protecting area 331 of the present embodiment, and the notch penetrates the protecting member 33 along the radial direction of the protecting member 33. In the present embodiment, the notch of the protection area 331 is a straight line, but in other embodiments, the notch of the protection area 331 may be a curve or a broken line, which is not limited herein. That is, the notch may be an elongated opening penetrating the protector 33, and an axis of the notch is parallel to or intersects with an axis of the protector 33; or the notch is a spiral, curved or folded opening around the wall of the protector 33.
The present embodiment protects at least one optical fiber 321 in the optical fiber assembly 32 by the protector 33. Part of the structure of the protection member 33 is fixed in the base 31 through the fiber outlet 311, and covers the whole portion of the at least one optical fiber 321 extending out of the base 31. And the protecting member 33 also covers the part of the at least one optical fiber 321 close to the fiber outlet 311 and overlapped with the substrate 31, so that the at least one optical fiber 321 is further fully protected. Wherein the depth range of the protective member 33 disposed in the base 31 is greater than 1 mm. For example: the specific depth of the protector 33 disposed in the base 31 may be 1 mm, 1.3 mm, 1.5 mm, 3 mm, 10 mm, 20 mm, etc., and may be determined based on the length of the actual base 31, which is not limited herein.
In the present embodiment, the protector 33 is disposed at a distance from the optical fiber assembly 32. The entire outer side of the optical fiber assembly 32 is covered with the base 31. The protecting members 33 are disposed on opposite sides of the base 31 covering the optical fiber assembly 32 to form a non-enclosed space for protecting the optical fiber assembly 32. Specifically, the protector 33 is disposed at a distance from the entire outer side of the at least one optical fiber 321 to protect the at least one optical fiber 321.
