Definitions

  • the present invention is in the field of connectors for connecting optical and / or electrical conductors.
  • Optical connectors are used to connect optically conductive fibers, e.g. made of glass or plastic. In the connectors, they are pressed against one another along their end surfaces along their end surfaces, so that the information to be transmitted by means of electromagnetic radiation (light) is coupled from one conductor into the next conductor. For optimum transfer, they must be exactly centered and provided with flat-ground end surfaces.
  • the ends of the optical fibers to be connected are usually fastened in elastically spring-loaded ferrules and truncated by them, pressed against one another at the ends by means of spring force. For connectors with a variety of optical see channels considerable forces can occur, which must be absorbed and transmitted through the connector housing.
  • connectors must be designed in such a way that they guarantee a secure connection over a longer period of time and in some cases with strongly fluctuating environmental influences.
  • high precision in coaxial alignment and centering is required. Good results are usually achieved with tight-fitting, laterally slotted sleeves made of ceramic, which are attached to the ferrules and serve as a centering.
  • electrical connectors are usually not based on frontal contacts, but on the electrical connection along a lateral surface from a first to a second connector. Since electrical connectors usually require no frontal contact pressure, these are less demanding and neutral in terms of balance of power with respect to the connector housing, as the forces cancel each other out.
  • connectors with more than one conductor are generally used.
  • One advantage is that a connector can be constructed in such a way that it enables the highest possible packing density of the individual connector channels, so that as much information as possible can be transmitted per area.
  • the optical connector comprises a connector in which a number of ferrules corresponding to the number of fiber optic cables to be connected are mounted laterally side by side in the insertion direction, wherein each of the fiber optic cables to be connected ends with its optical fiber in an associated ferrule and is fastened there , Flexible usability combined with easy assembly and disassembly is to be achieved by each of the ferrules being spring-loaded in a separate insert and the inserts being snapped next to one another within the at least one plug in a common housing.
  • the inserts must be radially accessible.
  • the connector means are provided, which the adjustment of the inner part by rotation to its longitudinal axis serve in different angular positions.
  • the core of the invention described in WO'499 is seen in that individual, spring-loaded ferrules are present for each of the fibers. These spring-loaded ferrules are mounted in separate inserts. To form a multiple connector several of these inserts are next to each other rigidly housed in a common housing. The use of single irrigations facilitates the assembly of the fiber ends and at the same time achieves a high center precision of the fibers. Due to the pre-assembled inserts can be dispensed with intermediate or partitions between the laterally juxtaposed inserts in the housing.
  • the inserts for the optical connector each have a holder in the form of a rectangular in the insertion direction, rectangular, an interior enclosing frame in the front of an opening for the ferrule and in the back of a through hole for carrying the fiber optic cable are provided.
  • a spring element in the form of a coil spring is present.
  • the inserts could also be arranged side by side and one above the other in a kind of honeycomb structure in order, for example, to optimally fill a circular housing of a connector.
  • the connector known from WO'499 has the disadvantage that, with a higher number, the respective density of individual connectors in a composite (connector) may suffer the precision required for optimum good.
  • the individual inserts are also not designed for a particularly high, multi-row packing density. There is also the problem of properly dissipating the forces occurring at a high channel density over the housing.
  • WOO3O76997 the same applicant, was published in 2003 and shows a fiber optic connector system, which has an adapter and individual optical connectors, in each of which ends an optical fiber in a ferrule.
  • the connectors are each from two opposite sides in the adapter can be inserted.
  • the adapter has in an adapter housing a plurality of parallel juxtaposed guide sleeves, in which the optical connectors with their ferrules from both sides can be inserted.
  • the adapter housing is composed of a plurality of separate, interconnectable parts between which the guide sleeves are kept at play.
  • An object of the invention is to show a connector with a modular construction which allows a particularly high, multi-dimensional packing density.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a connector of modular construction suitable for both optical and electrical or a combination of the two types of connections.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a connector which has a high tolerance against external mechanical and thermal influences.
  • a connector according to the invention makes possible a tight juxtaposition of inserts optimized for this purpose, which enable stringing together with high precision.
  • the inserts are inserted for this purpose in a designated, they surrounding housing or inserted from the side and fixed in this. So that the inserts can be stacked as desired, or interactively connected to one another, the inserts have active connection means, by means of which they exchange forces with one another, at least in the axial direction (fiber direction, conductor direction), respectively, support one another and thus avoid relative movement to one another. This is how an impenetrable construction. However, the support is designed so that the connector can still be easily mounted. The measures described above ensure that the individual inserts with high packing density and without intermediate walls can be stacked in more than one direction, in contrast to the prior art.
  • the active connection means are configured or arranged in such a way that they act in more than one spatial direction.
  • Conventional inserts require that they are always supported at least on one side directly against an outer housing or a partition wall, so that they are not stacked in a multi-row.
  • the housing into which the inserts are inserted is an outer housing of a connector or an intermediate housing, which in turn is inserted into an outer housing of a connector.
  • the housing is usually rigid. Depending on the field of use, however, it may also be designed to be elastic at least in one direction, so that the inserts are mounted floating therein and thus have a certain applicability.
  • the housing may be made of plastic or metal.
  • inserts for optical conductors also provides inserts for connecting electrical conductors.
  • inserts can be provided which serve in combination or as such as guidance and / or coordination means. It may be e.g. to act a mating of inserts, wherein a first insert comprises an axially projecting peg-like element which engages in a corresponding opening of an opposite insert or connector and can thus effect an alignment of two connector parts. Intermediate elements are possible.
