Description

  The present invention relates to an optical wiring connector used in a portion for converting optical wiring and electric wiring.

  When several tens of coaxial thin wire cables are used as in the interior of a portable terminal, there is a demand for simplifying the wiring by optical wiring. In addition, since the optical signal has a characteristic that it is resistant to electromagnetic noise, it is possible to make the wiring resistant to noise by changing the wiring of the portion where the electrical signal is dense to the optical wiring. In such an optical wiring, there is an optical module that converts an optical signal transmitted through an optical fiber or the like into an electrical signal.

FIG. 4 is a front view of the optical wiring connector 200 with the lid 240 closed. 4A is a diagram viewed from the front of only the optical wiring connector 200, and FIG. 4B is a diagram viewed from the front when the optical module 900 is inserted. 4C is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. 3B with the optical module 900 inserted.

  The optical wiring connector 200 includes a main body 210 and a lid portion 240. The lid part 240 fixes the holding part 241 for holding the optical module 900, lid rotating parts 242-1 and 242-2 formed so that the angle of the lid part to the main body can be changed, and the lid part 240 is fixed to the main body 210. Cover fixing portions 247-1 and 247-2 for pressing and a pressing portion 245 for pressing the extending portion 920. The holding unit 241 includes a lid upper surface 241-1 that covers the upper surface 911 of the optical module 900, two lid side surfaces 241-3 and 241-4 that cover the two side surfaces 912-1 and 912-2 of the optical module 900, and the optical module 900. The lid bottom surface positioning means 241-5 and 241-6 are in contact with a part of the bottom surface 913. With this structure, the optical module 900 is held by the holding unit 241. The main body 210 is fixed to the main body rotating portions 222-1 and 222-2 and the lid fixing portions 247-1 and 247-2 that support the rotation of the lid rotating portions 242-1 and 242-2 so as to be rotatable. When the main body fixing portions 211-1, 211-2, the lid fixing portions 247-1, 247-2 and the main body fixing portions 211-1, 211-2 are fixed, the module terminals 921-1-1 6 and conductors 221-1 to 221-6 formed so as to come into contact with the optical fiber 990, and an optical fiber guide 213 that holds the optical fiber 990. In this embodiment, an example in which the number of conductors is six is shown, but the number is not limited to six, and this number may be changed as appropriate.

  Since the optical wiring connector 200 has such a configuration, the lid portion 240 has one rotation axis with respect to the main body 210 (the rotation axes are the lid rotation portions 242-1 and 242-2 and the main body rotation portions 222-1 and 222-2. Circle motion centered on Therefore, by holding the optical module 900 in the holding unit 241 with the lid 240 opened and closing the lid 240, the optical module 900 is accommodated in the main body 210 in a fixed track. The module terminals 921-1 to 921-1 are in contact with the conductors 221-1 to 221-1 and are closed by the main body fixing portions 211-1 and 211-2 and the lid fixing portions 247-1 and 247-2 (optical module). 900 is accommodated).

  Further, in the present embodiment, the lid rotating parts 242-1 and 242-2 and the main body rotating parts 222-1 and 222-2 are formed in the vicinity of the positions where the module terminals 921-1 to 62-1 are accommodated. Therefore, the module terminals 921-1-6 can be pressed against the conductors 221-1-6 with a force sufficiently stronger than the force for closing the lid 240, so that the electrical connection can be made more reliably.

  The lid fixing portions 247-1 and 247-2 are two holes formed in the two lid side surfaces 241-3 and 241-4 of the holding portion 241, and the main body fixing portions 211-1 and 211-2 are respectively formed in the holes. Two nails to be inserted. In addition, since there are two lid fixing parts 247-1 and 247-2 and main body fixing parts 211-1 and 211-2 at positions far from the rotation axis, it is difficult to apply a strong force and the lid part 240 may be opened. Is low. Furthermore, since the optical fiber guide 213 is provided, even when a force is applied to the optical fiber 990 from the outside, the load is not easily transmitted to the optical module 900.

  If the lid portion 240 is formed of a conductor and is disposed so that the pressing portion 245 contacts the grounding module terminal 922, a grounding contact can be easily established. Further, the presence of the pressing portion 245 makes it easier to control the force pressing the module terminals 921-1 to 921-1 to the conductors 221-1 to 221-1 within a predetermined range. The predetermined range is a range of pressing force suitable for bringing the module terminals 921-1 to 62-1 and the conductors 221-1 to 221-1 into electrical contact with each other over a long period of time. May be designed as appropriate. In addition, since all the portions of the conductors 221-1 to 6-6 that are in contact with the module terminals 921-1 to 6-6 are at the same distance from the rotation axis, all the conductors 221-1 to 6 and the module terminals 921-1 to 921-1 are used. Can be pressed with the same force.

FIG. 15A is a view of the lid 140 viewed from the top, FIG. 15B is a view of the lid 140 viewed from the front, FIG. 15C is a view of the lid 140 viewed from the side, FIG. (A) is the figure which looked at the cover part 140 from the bottom face, FIG.16 (B) is sectional drawing when the cover part 140 is cut | disconnected by the FF line | wire of FIG. 15 (A). The lid 140 may be formed of a conductive material such as stainless steel. The lid part 140 includes a lid upper surface 141-1, a relief part 141-2, lid side surfaces 141-3, 141-4, lid bottom surface positioning means 141-5, 141-6, optical module guides 141-7, 141-8, It has lid rotating parts 142-1, 142-2, a pressing part 145, optical module fixing parts 146-1, 146-2, lid fixing parts 147-1, 147-2, 148-1, 148-2, and the like. Then, the lid upper surface 141-1 covering the upper surface 911 of the optical module 900, the two lid side surfaces 141-3, 141-4 covering the two side surfaces 912-1 and 912-2 of the optical module 900, and the bottom surface 913 of the optical module 900. The holding portion 141 is configured by the lid bottom surface positioning means 141-5 and 141-6 that come into contact with a part of the lid (see FIG. 6D). With this configuration, the holding unit 141 can hold the optical module 900. The escape portion 141-2 is formed to correspond to a protrusion or the like on the upper surface of the optical module 900. The escape portion 141-2 may be appropriately formed according to the position of the protrusion or the like, and need not be formed when there is no protrusion or the like.

  The lid rotating parts 142-1 and 142-2 are formed on the front side of the side surface of the lid part 140. In the present embodiment, there is a circular hole for inserting the main body rotating parts 122-1 and 122-2 at the center. Therefore, the lid rotation units 142-1 and 142-2 can change the angle of the lid unit 140 with respect to the main body (comprising the case 110, the body 120, the conductors 121-1 to 12-6, and the cover 130).

  The lid fixing portions 147-1, 147-2, 148-1, and 148-2 are components for fixing the lid portion 140 to the case 110 of the main body. The lid fixing portions 147-1 and 147-2 are rectangular holes formed on the rear surface side of the side surface of the lid portion 140, and the main body fixing portions 111-1 and 111-2 are inserted into the holes, The state where the lid 140 is closed is maintained. Further, the lid fixing portions 148-1 and 148-2 are convex portions formed on the side surface of the lid portion 140, and these convex portions fit into the holes of the main body fixing portions 118-1 and 118-2.

  The pressing part 145 is formed on the front side of the lid upper surface 141-1 of the lid part 140, and presses the extending part 920 toward the conductors 121-1 to 121-6. As shown in FIG. 1A, when the module terminal 922 for grounding of the optical module 900 is on the upper surface side, the pressing portion 145 also plays a role of contact with the module terminal 922 for grounding.

  That is, the main body rotation units 122-1 and 122-2 support the lid rotation units 142-1 and 142-2 so that they can rotate. The main body fixing portions 111-1, 111-2, 118-1, and 118-2 are fixed to each other with the lid fixing portions 147-1, 147-2, 148-1, and 148-2. 140 is fixed. The conductors 221-1 to 221-6 are fixed to the lid fixing portions 147-1, 147-2, 148-1, 148-2 and the main body fixing portions 111-1, 111-2, 118-1, 118-2. It is formed so as to come into contact with the module terminals 921-1 to 6 when they are in contact. The optical fiber guides 113-1 to 113-5 hold the optical fiber 990.

  With such a configuration, the lid 140 has one rotation axis with respect to the main body (the rotation axis is formed by the lid rotation units 142-1 and 142-2 and the main body rotation units 122-1 and 122-2). A circular motion with a center is possible. Therefore, the optical module 900 is accommodated in the case 110 of the main body in a fixed track by holding the optical module 900 in the holding unit 141 with the lid 140 opened and closing the lid 140. The module terminals 921-1 to 921-1 are in contact with the conductors 121-1 to 121-6, and the main body fixing portions 111-1, 111-2, 118-1, 118-2 and the lid fixing portions 147-1, 147-2. The closed state (the state in which the optical module 900 is accommodated) is maintained by 148-1 and 148-2.

  Furthermore, the lid rotation units 142-1 and 142-2 and the main body rotation units 122-1 and 122-2 are formed in the vicinity of the positions where the module terminals 921-1 to 6 are accommodated. Therefore, the module terminals 921-1 to 921-1 can be pressed against the conductors 121-1 to 12-6 with a force sufficiently stronger than the force for closing the lid 140, so that electrical connection can be made more reliably.

  The lid fixing parts 147-1 and 147-2 are two holes formed in the two lid side surfaces 141-3 and 141-4 of the holding part 141, and the main body fixing parts 211-1 and 211-2 are holes. There are two nails inserted into each. Moreover, since there are two lid fixing parts 247-1 and 247-2 and main body fixing parts 211-1 and 211-2 at positions far from the rotation axis, it is difficult to apply a strong force. Therefore, there is a low possibility that the lid 240 will open due to the addition of something. Further, since the optical fiber guides 113-1 to 113-5 are provided, even when a force is applied to the optical fiber 990 from the outside, the load is not easily transmitted to the optical module 900.

  If the lid part 140 is formed of a conductor that is not plated and is arranged so that the pressing part 245 contacts the module terminal 922 for grounding, a contact for grounding can be easily established. Further, the presence of the pressing portion 145 makes it easier to control the force for pressing the module terminals 921-1 to 921-1 to the conductors 121-1 to 12-6 within a predetermined range. The predetermined range is a range of pressing force suitable for bringing the module terminals 921-1-6 and the conductors 121-1-6 into electrical contact with each other over a long period of time. May be designed as appropriate. Further, since all the portions of the conductors 121-1 to 6-6 that are in contact with the module terminals 921-1 to 6-6 are at the same distance from the rotation axis, all the conductors 121-1 to 121-6 and the module terminals 921-1 to 92-1 Can be pressed with the same force.
