Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a connector, and particularly to a connector that connects an optical fiber and a conductor at the same time.

In general, as optical fiber communication has been put into practical use, its usage has become more diverse.

Although such optical fibers are good optical signal conductors, they are not currently used for powering optical communication equipment because the conversion efficiency of light sources and photoelectric converters is insufficient.
The power supply must use conventional copper wires.

This type of composite cable consisting of copper wire and optical fiber is
When realizing a connector that can be detachably connected to devices or cables, it is common to use a connector whose number of connection cores corresponds to the number of cores of the copper wire and optical fiber.

However, in this case, when the number of cores increases, the connector becomes larger and more complex.

The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks.
An object of the present invention is to provide a connector using a connecting core.

The present invention includes a first connecting pin made of a conductive material on which an optical fiber is fixed on the central axis of the outer diameter, and a first connecting pin with the optical fiber fixed on the central axis of the outer diameter, the central axis of which is fixed. a second connecting pin made of a conductive material that contacts and couples to the first connecting pin so as to coincide with the central axis of the first connecting pin; and an electrical conductor connected to a second connection pin.

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

The drawing is a schematic configuration diagram.

In the drawings, the optical fibers 1, 1 are fixed precisely at the center of the outer diameter of the connecting pin 3, and the optical fibers 2, 2 are fixed precisely at the center of the outer diameter of the connecting pin 4.

An insertion hole 3a having a diameter slightly larger than the outer diameter of the connection pin 4 is formed in the connection pin 3, and the optical fibers 1, 1 are fixed so as to coincide with the center of this insertion hole 3a.

These connection pins 3 and 4 are made of a material with good conductivity, such as brass, and their surfaces are plated with gold, silver, or the like.

Further, a copper wire 5 and a copper wire 6 are connected to the connecting pin 3 and the connecting pin 4, respectively, and an insulator 7 and an insulator 8 are fitted to the connecting pin 3 and the connecting pin 4, respectively.

Further, a housing 9 and a housing 10 are arranged near the connection pin 3 and the connection pin 4, and an insulator 7 and an insulator 8 are disposed in the housing 9 and the housing 10, respectively.
The connecting pin 4 and the connecting pin 5 are fixed via the connecting pin 4 and the connecting pin 5.

A threaded portion 10a is formed in the housing 10, and this threaded portion 10a is screwed into a threaded portion 11a of a nut 11.

In the connector according to the present invention having the above configuration, if the nut 11 is rotated with the housing 9 inserted into the housing 10, the connecting pin 4 is inserted into the insertion hole 3a of the connecting pin 3, so that the connecting pin 3 and the connecting pin 4 are in contact with each other.

If the connecting pin 3 and the connecting pin 4 come into contact in this way,
Since these connecting pins 3 and 4 have conductivity, the copper wire 5 connected to the connecting pin 3 and the copper wire 6 connected to the connecting pin 4 are connected.

In this way, the connecting pin 4 is inserted into the insertion hole 3a of the connecting pin 3.
When the optical fiber 1 and the optical fiber 2 are completely inserted into each other and the end surfaces of the optical fiber 1 and the optical fiber 2 are brought into substantially close contact with each other, the optical fiber 1 and the optical fiber 2 are connected.

As explained above, this invention reduces the number of connected cores and improves economic efficiency by sharing the connecting core between optical fiber and copper wire, and has the following effects: miniaturization and simplification. have
