Description
- The technical field generally relates to connectors, more particularly to an optical fiber connector applied for optical fiber transmissions or signal transmissions.
- An optical fiber connector is generally used for combining electric connectors for optical fiber transmissions or signal transmissions. The combination of the electric connectors has an important characteristic of having a small volume. The smaller the volume, the smaller the space occupied by combining an equipment panel. Therefore, it is an important issue to allow more electric connectors to be installed on the same equipment panel so as to support additional message channels.
- At present, there are various different specifications for photoelectric signal transmissions in the industry. For example, optical fibers have diverse specifications for combining the electric connectors, and electronic signal cables have two specifications such as UTP and BNC, so that it is necessary to change the connectors to fit different specifications. With reference to
FIG. 1 for a perspective view of a conventional optical fiber connector, the conventionaloptical fiber connector 10 comprises amain body 20 and apull handle 30. Thepull handle 30 further includes twosupport arms 32 each having astop bump 34, and themain body 20 includes twopositioning slots 26 and at least onecompression spring 28. Thecompression spring 28 is installed in themain body 20, and eachpositioning slot 26 is disposed on both sides of asidewall 22, and eachsupport arm 32 is positioned into eachpositioning slot 26 by eachstop bump 34. - The
optical fiber connector 10 pushes a socket connector (not shown in the figure) by thecompression spring 28 installed in themain body 20 when theconnector 10 is ejected. If the strength of theconventional compression spring 28 is insufficient, theoptical fiber connector 10 of any known standards will be unable to bounce or pop. Since thecompression spring 28 is installed in the main body, it occupies the installation space of other photoelectric components in themain body 20. Therefore, if it is necessary to change or replace thepull handle 30 to another different specification or pull out thepull handle 30 to install an optical fiber cable (not shown in the figure), the operation will be very inconvenient. - As the
optical fiber connector 10 is designed with an increasingly smaller volume, the density of socket connectors in an electronic device also increases. - In view of the aforementioned problems of the prior art, the discloser of this disclosure based on years of experience in the related industry to conduct extensive researches and experiments, and finally provided a feasible solution to overcome the problems of the prior art.
- It is a primary objective of this disclosure to provide an optical fiber connector capable of increasing the space of a cartridge and reducing the total volume of the optical fiber connector.
- Another objective of this disclosure is to provide an optical fiber connector having an elastic member with a better strength.
- To achieve the aforementioned and other objectives, this disclosure provides an optical fiber connector comprising a cartridge, a latch and a pair of elastic members. The cartridge has two opposite sidewalls and a wire terminal, wherein each sidewall has a runner and a containing slot disposed on a side of the wire terminal. The latch includes a pull handle, a sliding member having two opposite extending arms, and a stop portion formed on each extending arm. The pull handle is capable of rotatably connecting the sliding member, and each extending arm is slidably combined with the cartridge through each runner. Each elastic member has an end abutting each containing slot and the other end abutting each stop portion.
- This disclosure has the following advantages:
- The size of the second notch can be increased to accommodate a wire with a larger diameter and/or an elastic member with a larger external diameter, provided that the latch opening has a size not greater than the external periphery of the elastic member. Therefore, the strength of the elastic member is enhanced to improve the reliability and stability of the resilience of the latch while improving the convenience of operation. In addition, the extending arm of the latch includes a protruded positioning strip and a groove latched with the positioning strip, so as to prevent the latch from falling out when the cartridge is ejected from the socket connector.

The slidingmember 220 further includes a connectingplate 250, and each extendingarm 230 has anopening 234, and the connectingplate 250 is coupled to a side of each respective extendingarm 230, and thestop portion 240 is bent from a side of the opening 234 and extended into the containingslot 150, so that thestop portion 240 can move with theelastic member 300 and move in the containingslot 150. - In
FIG. 3 , the opening 234 further includes afirst notch 237 and asecond notch 238 communicating with thefirst notch 237, wherein theelastic member 300 has an external periphery smaller than the size of thefirst notch 237 but greater than the size of thesecond notch 238, so that theelastic member 300 can be installed into the containingslot 150 from thefirst notch 237 easily and latched to thesecond notch 238 to prevent it from falling out from the containingslot 150. Therefore, the installation of theelastic member 300 is simple, easy, and convenient. - In an embodiment as shown in
FIGS. 4 and 5 , thewire terminal 130 further has twowire slots 132 for plugging an optical fiber transmitting cable and an optical fiber receiving cable and a photoelectric component (not shown in the figure) in thecartridge 110, For example, thewire slots 132 are provided for electrically connecting one or more light sources, light sensors, lenses, optical devices, digital signal drivers, and optical components of a receiver circuit or a circuit board. - The
optical cable connector 100 may be an optical connector of a known industry standard, and the other end of theoptical connector 100 opposite to thewire terminal 130 is preferably aplug end 180 having a plurality of electric contacts (not shown in the figure). In this embodiment, any known method may be used to plug theplug end 180 of theoptical connector 100 into thesocket connector 400 and plug and fix theoptical fiber connector 100 to thesocket connector 400 by thelatch 200. Thesocket connector 400 is generally bundled coupled to a circuit board of an electronic system (not shown in the figure) and electrically coupled to the electronic system. - In
FIG. 6 , eachsidewall 120 has agroove 160 formed thereon and proximately installed at an end of eachrunner 140, and each extendingarm 230 has abroken hole 260 opposite to eachgroove 160 and apositioning strip 270 protruded from thebroken hole 260, wherein thegroove 160 preferably has a length greater than the length of thepositioning strip 270, so that thepositioning strip 270 can be slidably latched to thegroove 160. However, the length of thegroove 160 may be equal to the length of thepositioning strip 270 in other embodiment and may be changed as needed. - In addition, each
sidewall 120 has at least onelimit slot 170 coupled to eachrunner 140, and a side of each extendingarm 230 has at least onelimit bump 280 capable of latching with thelimit slot 170. The at least onelimit slot 170 preferably has a length greater than the length of the at least onelimit bump 280, so that thelimit bump 280 of each extendingarm 230 can slidably stop at thelimit slot 170. - When the
latch 200 is pulled out and an optical fiber cable (not shown in the figure) is installed, and it is necessary to replace or install anoptical fiber connector 100 of another specification, thepull handle 210 drives thesliding member 220 to move in a direction away from thesocket connector 400, so that eachelastic member 300 is situated at a compressed state. Now, theelastic portion 236 at the end of each extendingarm 230 props thelatching portion 410, but eachpositioning strip 270 is slidably latched with thegroove 160, so as to prevent each extendingarm 230 from falling out from thesocket connector 400.

optical fiber connector 100 of another specification, thelatch 200 is pulled out further to remove the wholeoptical fiber connector 100 from thesocket connector 400. On the other hand, when the replacedoptical fiber connector 100 is plugged to thesocket connector 400, the protrudinglatch 200 may be rotatably stored to a side of thecartridge 110 as shown inFIG. 6 or stored to a side of thesocket connector 400 to assure the safety of connecting thesocket connector 400. - In this disclosure, the
elastic member 300 is arranged outside thecartridge 110 and installed at thewire terminal 130, so that thecartridge 110 has a relatively larger space and the total volume of the optical fiber connector is reduced to improve increase the quantity of socket connectors of an electronic device. In addition, the size of thesecond notch 238 can be increased to accommodate a wire with a larger diameter and/or anelastic member 300 with a larger external diameter provided that thelatch opening 234 has a size not greater than the external periphery of theelastic member 300. Therefore, the strength of theelastic member 300 is enhanced to improve the reliability and stability of the resilience of thelatch 200 while improving the convenience of operation. In addition, the extendingarm 230 of thelatch 200 includes a protrudedpositioning strip 270 and agroove 160 latched with thepositioning strip 270, so as to prevent thelatch 200 from falling out when thecartridge 110 is ejected from thesocket connector 400. - While this disclosure has been described by means of specific embodiments, numerous modifications and variations could be made thereto by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of this disclosure set forth in the claims.
