the notch of the second accommodating groove 6 is provided with a first avoiding opening 8 through which the elastic sheet 3 can pass.

The elastic buckle mechanism 2 is of an integrally formed structure;

the elastic buckling mechanism 2 is made of metal materials.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, for example, the substrate 21 and one of the side plates 22 are provided with the elastic sheet 3, and correspondingly, only the notch of the second accommodating groove 6 corresponding to the side plate 22 provided with the elastic sheet 3 is provided with the first avoiding opening 8.

During assembly, the elastic buckling mechanism 2 is inserted from the bottom end face of the plastic main body 1, the substrate 21 is accommodated in the first accommodating groove 5, and the side plate 22 is accommodated in the second accommodating groove 6; when the optical fiber plug is inserted into the insertion groove 4, the clamping point is elastically buckled with the elastic sheet 3, so that good insertion and extraction force can be provided, insertion and extraction handfeel can be effectively improved, and the service life of a product can be prolonged.

Preferably, the depth of the first receiving groove 5 may be greater than the thickness of the substrate 21, and may also be equal to the thickness of the substrate 21. For example, when the depth of the first receiving groove 5 is equal to the thickness of the substrate 21, the substrate 21 is received in the first receiving groove 5 and forms a flat surface with the bottom end surface of the plastic body 1.

In this embodiment, a guide groove 9 matched with a guide bar on the optical fiber plug is arranged on a side wall of the insertion groove 4;

and a second avoidance opening 11 for the guide strip to pass through is formed in the elastic sheet 3.

It should be noted that, during the process of inserting the optical fiber plug into the insertion slot 4, the guide bar moves along the guide slot 9, which can assist the optical fiber plug to be inserted into the insertion slot 4 smoothly.

Preferably, the guide groove 9 is a groove with a semicircular section;

the guide strip is a boss with a semicircular section.

In order to ensure that the elastic buckling mechanism 2 can be stably combined after being inserted into the plastic main body 1, a buckling structure is arranged between the elastic buckling mechanism 2 and the plastic main body 1, however, there are various specific arrangement manners of the buckling structure, and two of the embodiments are illustrated below;

the first setting mode is as follows: the side plate 22 is provided with a first convex buckle 10;

a first clamping hole matched with the first convex buckle 10 is formed in the second accommodating groove 6.

Preferably, the first buckle 10 is a slope structure with a height gradually decreasing along the extending direction of the side plate 22.

The second setting mode is as follows: the side plate 22 is provided with a second clamping hole;

and a second convex buckle matched with the second clamping hole is arranged in the second accommodating groove 6.

Preferably, the second protrusion is an inclined surface structure with a height gradually decreasing along the direction of the notch of the second receiving groove 6.

The utility model discloses required effect can all be reached to two kinds of setting modes above, consequently the utility model discloses do not restrict this, but exemplary to first setting mode is preferred.

In this embodiment, a fastening groove matched with the fastening point is formed in the side wall of the insertion groove 4, into which the elastic sheet 3 does not extend;

the fastening groove is intersected with the guide groove 9.

It should be noted that, because the elastic fastening mechanism 2 has only three surfaces, i.e. the base plate 21 and the left and right side plates 22, which can correspond to three side walls of the insertion groove 4, the corresponding three side walls can be elastically fastened with the fastening points through the elastic pieces, while the remaining side wall that is not corresponding needs to be fastened through hard interference, i.e. the side wall is provided with a fastening groove that is matched with the fastening points; of course, if one side plate 22 of the elastic fastening mechanism 2 is provided with an elastic sheet, the side wall corresponding to the side plate 22 on the insertion groove 4 also needs to be provided with a fastening groove matched with the fastening point.
