As shown in fig. 1 to 6, a first embodiment of the present invention discloses an optical module. Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the optical module includes a housing 20, an optical interface system 36 disposed in the housing 20, a connector 38 fixed on the housing 20, and a pull ring 40 disposed on the housing 20 for unlocking the optical module, wherein a spring 42 is disposed between the connector 38 and the optical interface system 36. The light module further comprises a heat sink device 22 and a printed circuit board 24. Wherein the heat sink device 22 is disposed within the housing 20 and is thermally coupled to the housing 20, and the printed circuit board 24 is partially disposed on the heat sink device 22. In this embodiment, the printed circuit board 24 is fixed to the housing 20 by snap-fitting, and the heat sink device 22 is fixed to the housing 20 by gluing. Of course, the printed circuit board 24 may be disposed in the housing 20 using other connection methods, and likewise, the heat sink device 22 may be disposed in the housing 20 using other connection methods.

Specifically, the optical module further includes a first optoelectronic chip 26 and a second optoelectronic chip 28, both disposed on the heat sink device 22. The first photo chip 26 and the second photo chip 28 may be both photo chip arrays, or may be a single chip or a plurality of single chips arranged together. Here, the first photo-chip 26 is a laser array and the second photo-chip 28 is a photo-detector array. The first optoelectronic chip 26 and the second optoelectronic chip 28 are electrically connected to the printed circuit board 24 by a gold wire or other high-speed signal electrical connection.

Referring to fig. 3, the printed circuit board 24 has a first surface 30, a second surface 32 opposite to the first surface 30, and an opening 34 penetrating from the first surface 30 to the second surface 32. Wherein the second optoelectronic chip 28 is disposed in the opening 34, and the second optoelectronic chip 28 is disposed apart from the first optoelectronic chip 26.

In this embodiment, since the printed circuit board 24 is provided with the opening portion 34, the second optoelectronic chip 28 is disposed in the opening portion 34, and the first optoelectronic chip 26 and the second optoelectronic chip 28 are both disposed on the heat sink device 22. Therefore, the heat generated by the first and second

optoelectronic chips

26 and 28 is dissipated to the housing 20 through the heat sink device 22, and the heat dissipation capability is high. Meanwhile, the second photoelectric chip 28 and the first photoelectric chip 26 are separately arranged, so that the distance between the two photoelectric chips is increased, the signal crosstalk influence between the first photoelectric chip 26 and the second photoelectric chip 28 is greatly reduced, and the heat dissipation effect is better.

Referring to fig. 4 and 5, the heat sink apparatus 22 includes a first heat sink 44 and a second heat sink 46 in thermally conductive connection with the first heat sink 44. The first photovoltaic chip 26 is disposed on the first heat sink 44, heat generated by the first photovoltaic chip 26 is dissipated to the housing 20 through the first heat sink 44, the second heat sink 46 is partially disposed in the opening 34, and the second photovoltaic chip 28 is disposed on the second heat sink 46. The first heat sink 44 and the second heat sink 46 are each in thermally conductive connection with the housing 20. In this way, heat generated by the first optoelectronic chip 26 and the second optoelectronic chip 28 is dissipated to the housing 20 through the first heat sink 44 and the second heat sink 46, respectively, and the first optoelectronic chip 26 and the second optoelectronic chip 28 are separately disposed, so that the optical module has a high-efficiency heat dissipation capability, and meanwhile, signal crosstalk influence between the first optoelectronic chip 26 and the second optoelectronic chip 28 is further reduced.

Referring to fig. 2, the housing 20 includes a first housing 48 and a second housing 50 connected to the first housing 48, and the first housing 48 and the second housing 50 may be fixed together by screws. The heat sink device 22 is disposed adjacent to the second housing 50 such that heat generated by the first and second

optoelectronic chips

26, 28 is primarily transferred to the second housing 50, the second housing 50 being the primary heat dissipation surface. In addition, only a part of the heat is transferred to the first case 48, and the first case 48 is a sub heat radiation surface. The second housing 50 has a special heat dissipation design to better dissipate heat out of the housing 20.

In order to further improve the heat dissipation capability of the optical module, a heat dissipation pad or paste is disposed between the heat sink device 22 and the housing 20, so as to better conduct the heat on the heat sink device 22 to the housing 20. In this embodiment, a thermal pad or paste is disposed between the heat sink device 22 and the second housing 50. Specifically, a first heat sink 44 is disposed between the first housing 50 and the first heat sink 44, and a second heat sink 46 is disposed between the second housing 50 and the second heat sink 54. The first heat dissipation pad 52 and the first optoelectronic chip 26 are disposed on opposite sides of the first heat sink 44, and are disposed at corresponding positions, that is, a projection of the first heat dissipation pad 52 on the first surface 30 at least partially overlaps a projection of the first optoelectronic chip 26 on the first surface 30; the second thermal pad 54 and the second optoelectronic chip 28 are disposed on opposite sides of the second heat sink 46, and the positions of the second thermal pad 54 and the second optoelectronic chip 28 are also disposed correspondingly, that is, a projection of the second thermal pad 54 on the first surface 30 at least partially coincides with a projection of the second optoelectronic chip 28 on the first surface 30.

In this embodiment, the first and second heat sinks 44, 46 are of unitary construction. Of course, the first heat sink 44 and the second heat sink 46 may be separate heat sinks, and they are thermally connected to each other or to the housing 20. The heat sink device 22 formed by the first heat sink 44 and the second heat sink 46 is L-shaped, and this structure can make the first optoelectronic chip 26 and the second optoelectronic chip 28 staggered from each other in the optical path transmission direction, so as to facilitate the isolation of the optoelectronic signals. The L-shaped heat sink device 22 can also save the use of heat sink while ensuring heat dissipation, and the printed circuit board 24 can obtain more board distribution space to facilitate the layout of components.

The first heat sink 44 has a base 56 and a first boss 58, the first optoelectronic chip 26 is disposed on the first boss 58, the first optoelectronic chip 26 is disposed adjacent to one end of the printed circuit board 24, and the first optoelectronic chip 26 is electrically connected to the printed circuit board 24. The second heat sink 46 has a second boss 60, the second boss 60 being at least partially located in the opening 34. The second optoelectronic chip 28 is disposed on the second bump 60, and the second optoelectronic chip 28 is electrically connected to the printed circuit board 24. In addition, an end of the printed circuit board 24 away from the first optoelectronic chip 26 is provided with a peripheral electrical interface, here a gold finger, for electrically connecting with the outside.

In addition, the optical module includes an optical interface and an electrical interface, and the first optoelectronic chip 26 is located at an end of the printed circuit board 24 near the optical interface. Specifically, the positions of the first optoelectronic chip 26 and the second optoelectronic chip 28 in the connection line direction of the optical interface and the electrical interface are mutually staggered.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the first photo-chip 26 is a laser, and the second photo-chip 28 is a photo-detector. Of course, the first photo-chip 26 may be configured as a photo-detector and the second photo-chip 28 as a laser. Or both the first photo chip 26 and the second photo chip 28 are configured as a photo detector, and certainly, when the first photo chip 26 and the second photo chip 28 are lasers or photo detectors, the laser or the photo detectors may also have elements such as drivers or photo signal detectors. Here, the first photo-chip 26 is a laser and the second photo-chip 28 is a photodetector. Thus, the laser is arranged close to the middle part of the heat sink device 22 as a high heat generation element, and the heat dissipation effect is better. In addition, the laser is arranged on one side of the printed circuit board 24 instead of the middle of the printed circuit board 24, so that the optical path design is facilitated, and the assembly is more convenient.

The opening 34 is closed in cross section in a direction parallel to the first surface 30. That is, the opening 34 is a through hole having a closed outer periphery. Preferably, the opening 34 has a square cross-section in a direction parallel to the first surface 30. Of course, the cross section of the opening 34 in the direction parallel to the first surface 30 may be provided in other shapes.

In addition, the opening 34 may be provided to be open in cross section in a direction parallel to the first surface 30. For example, the cross section of the opening 34 in the direction parallel to the first surface 30 may be formed in a U-shape or an L-shape. Of course, other open shapes may be provided.

The printed circuit board 24 is bonded to the heat sink device 22. Of course, other attachment means may be used to secure the printed circuit board 24 to the heat sink device 22. The printed circuit board 24 may be directly bonded to the heat sink device 22 or indirectly bonded to the heat sink device 22, and a heat conducting medium or an electrically conducting medium may be disposed between the printed circuit board 24 and the heat sink device 22. In this embodiment, the first optoelectronic chip 26 and the second optoelectronic chip 28 are located on the same side of the heat sink device 22. That is, the first optoelectronic chip 26 and the second optoelectronic chip 28 are disposed on the same surface of the heat sink device, and the first optoelectronic chip 26 and the second optoelectronic chip 28 are electrically connected to the same surface of the printed circuit board 24. Of course, the first and second

optoelectronic chips

26, 28 may also be disposed on different sides of the heat sink device 22, such as on opposite sides of the heat sink device 22. When the first optoelectronic chip 26 and the second optoelectronic chip 28 are disposed on different sides of the heat sink device 22, one side of the printed circuit board 24 is electrically connected to the first optoelectronic chip 26, and the other side of the printed circuit board 24 is electrically connected to the second optoelectronic chip 28. Thus, the signal transmission crosstalk is smaller, and the signal transmission quality is higher. Specifically, when the first optoelectronic chip 26 and the second optoelectronic chip 28 are located on different sides of the heat sink device, the first heat sink 44 is provided with a hole or a groove for light to pass through, but the connection of the optical path and the like may also be implemented by using an optical fiber.

In addition, a first electrical isolation pad 62 is disposed between the first optoelectronic chip 26 and the heat sink device 22, and the first electrical isolation pad 62 is in thermal conductive connection with the heat sink device 22 and has an electrical isolation effect, so that heat generated by the first optoelectronic chip 26 can be transferred to the housing 20 through the heat sink device 22 to dissipate heat, and electrical isolation among the housing 20, the heat sink device 22, and the first optoelectronic chip 26 is achieved. The optical module has stable performance and is safe to use. The upper surface of the first electrical isolation pad 62 is made of a low conductivity material and is electrically connected to the printed circuit board 24, and the base material and the lower surface of the first electrical isolation pad 62 are made of an insulating material and are electrically isolated from the heat sink device 22.

A second electrical isolation pad 64 is disposed between the second optoelectronic chip 28 and the heat sink device 22, and the second electrical isolation pad 64 is thermally connected to and electrically isolated from the heat sink device 22. Likewise, heat generated by the second optoelectronic chip 28 can be transferred to the housing 20 through the heat sink device 22 to dissipate heat, while electrical isolation between the housing 20, the heat sink device 22, and the second optoelectronic chip 28 is achieved. The performance of the optical module is more stable and the optical module is safer to use.

Of course, in other embodiments, the heat sink device 22 itself may also be made of a material having electrical isolation and good thermal conductivity, thereby eliminating the use of an electrically isolating pad.

Referring to fig. 7 to 12, a second embodiment of the present invention discloses an optical module.

In addition, the light module further comprises a heat sink device 70 and a printed circuit board 72. Wherein a heat sink device 70 is disposed within the housing 68 and is in thermally conductive communication with the housing 68, and a printed circuit board 72 is also disposed within the housing 68. Similar to the first embodiment, in this embodiment, the printed circuit board 72 is snap-fit secured to the housing 68 and the heat sink device 70 is adhesively secured to the housing 68. Of course, the printed circuit board 72 may be disposed within the housing 68 using other connection methods, and likewise, the heat sink device 70 may be disposed within the housing 68 using other connection methods.

Referring to fig. 9 and 10, the printed circuit board 72 has a first surface 74, a second surface 76, and a receiving portion 82 located on the first surface 74, wherein the first surface 74 is opposite to the second surface 76, and specifically, the printed circuit board 72 further includes a third surface 78 and a side surface 80 connecting the first surface 74 and the third surface 78, the third surface 78 is located between the first surface 74 and the second surface 76 and has a height difference with the first surface 74, the third surface 78 and the side surface 80 form the receiving portion 82, and the heat sink device 70 is partially located in the receiving portion 82. Specifically, the accommodating portion 82 is an accommodating groove. The optical module further includes a first optoelectronic chip 84 and a second optoelectronic chip 86 both disposed on the heat sink device 70, and the first optoelectronic chip 84 and the second optoelectronic chip 86 are both electrically connected to the printed circuit board 72, and in addition, at least a portion of the second optoelectronic chip 86 is disposed in the accommodating portion 82, and the second optoelectronic chip 86 and the first optoelectronic chip 84 are disposed separately from each other.

In this embodiment, since the printed circuit board 72 has the accommodating portion 82 formed by the third surface 78 and the side surface 80, the heat sink device 70 is partially located in the accommodating portion 82, the second optoelectronic chip 86 is at least partially located in the accommodating portion 82, and the heat sink device 70 is located between the second optoelectronic chip 86 and the printed circuit board 72, so that heat generated by the first optoelectronic chip 84 and the second optoelectronic chip 86 is dissipated to the housing 68 through the heat sink device 70, and the heat dissipation capability is high. Meanwhile, the second photoelectric chip 86 is far away from the first photoelectric chip 84, so that the distance between the two photoelectric chips is increased, the signal crosstalk influence between the first photoelectric chip 84 and the second photoelectric chip 86 is greatly reduced, and the heat dissipation effect is better.

The heat sink arrangement 70 includes a first heat sink 94 and a second heat sink 96 thermally coupled to the first heat sink 94, the first optoelectronic chip 84 is disposed on the first heat sink 94, the second heat sink 96 is at least partially disposed in the receptacle 82, and the second optoelectronic chip 86 is thermally coupled to the second heat sink 96.

optoelectronic chips

84 and 86 is dissipated to the housing 68 through the first and

second heat sinks

94 and 96, respectively, and the first optoelectronic chip 84 is far away from the second optoelectronic chip 86, thereby ensuring a more efficient heat dissipation capability and further reducing the signal crosstalk effect between the first and second

optoelectronic chips

84 and 86.

In this embodiment, the first heat sink 94 and the second heat sink 96 are separately disposed, and the second heat sink 96 is adhesively fixed to the first heat sink 94 and thermally conductively connected thereto.

The housing 68 includes a first housing 98 and a second housing 99 coupled to the first housing 98, and the heat sink device 70 is disposed adjacent to the second housing 99 such that heat generated by the first and second

optoelectronic chips

84 and 86 is primarily transferred to the second housing 99, the second housing 99 being the primary heat sink. In addition, since only a part of the heat is transferred to the first casing 98, the first casing 98 is a sub heat radiation surface.

To further improve the heat dissipation capability of the optical module, a heat dissipation pad (not shown) or paste may be disposed between the heat sink device 70 and the housing 68, so as to better conduct the heat on the heat sink device 70 to the housing 68.

In the present embodiment, the receiving portion 82 has a closed cross section in a direction parallel to the first surface 74.
