Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of optical communication assembly, and be particularly related to a kind of optical fiber splicing device.
Background technology
Along with computing machine a large amount of popularize fast development with network technology, network has related more and more closely with people's life.Utilize network not only can obtain data or online service apace, and the progress of mechanics of communication also make the demand of communication frequency range increase along with the increase of data transmission capacity.Optical-fibre communications has the characteristic of high volume of transmitted data, also therefore is considered to the rising star of communication field.
Yet optical-fibre communications still has many technical problems that problem to be solved, for example expensive is arranged.The employed assembly of optical-fibre communications needs very high precision, but this also often means the cost of manufacture that needs are higher.For instance, particulate metal that uses in the connector of optical fiber or stupalith just need special machine to process, and these handling machine costs are all quite expensive.Moreover even all parts are all complete, but because of being improved on above-mentioned former thereby time in the end assembling optical fiber and connector and the cost, this also is to cause one of not high major reason of present optical-fibre communications popularity rate.
In addition, in the operating position of individual family expenses or company's commerce, the steadiness of connector (reliability) is especially important.Since in the family or company use LAN, different with general professional machine room, do not have special professional or strict request for utilization to safeguard, so the user pulls optical fiber possibly when plug or changing-over optical fiber voluntarily, make its originally in connector designed position run away.If connector is not designed the steadiness problem that will bring optical fiber can't correctly locate especially in connector.
Figure 1A illustrates the schematic appearance of an existing fiber coupling arrangement, and Figure 1B then is the sectional structure chart of existing fiber coupling arrangement.Optical fiber splicing device 100 is made up of ironware 102 and 104 of clasps (sleeve).Ironware 102 is a tubular structure as the shell (housing) of optical fiber splicing device 100.Have a hollow channel among ironware 102, a side of this hollow channel is as input side, and in order to connect an optical fiber 150, opposite side is then as outgoing side, in order to connect another optical fiber component.
Light can produce reflection loss through the interface between the different medium time.For instance, when light is 1.5 glass material optical fiber when to enter refractive index be 1 air by refractive index n, be 4% in the reflection loss of glass-air interface, that is to say that the light of reflection is 4%, and the light that in fact is transmitted has only 96%.For fear of the generation of this reflection loss, must do some particular processing to its tangent plane 150a that is positioned at outgoing side usually.For example cut this tangent plane 150a, make its with optical fiber 150 main bodys between become a special angle, this special angle can be used to reduce above-mentioned reflection loss.
For the tangent plane 150a after being afraid of to handle is damaged when the combination, generally can first combination of fiber-optic 150 and optical fiber splicing device 100, and then tangent plane 150a handled.Yet, when tangent plane 150a is handled, for example cut etc., might cut bad situation.If optical fiber 150 made up with optical fiber splicing device 100 and finished this moment, promptly both relative positions are fixing, then are difficult to the optical fiber that cuts again or more renew, increase intractability and manufacturing cost on foot.
