发明内容
本申请提供了一种复合模块、复合缆组件及其制造方法,能够克服相关技术中的问题,所述技术方案如下:
一方面,本申请实施例提供了一种复合模块,所述复合模块包括壳体、光器件、供电器件和第一复合连接器;
所述壳体的第一端具有第一插口,所述壳体的第二端具有第二插口;
所述光器件包括光电转换器件和第一光接头,所述光电转换器件的第一端和所述第一光接头相连;所述供电器件包括供电线路和第一电接头,所述供电线路的第一端和所述第一电接头相连;所述光电转换器件和所述供电线路均位于壳体中,所述第一光接头和所述第一电接头均位于第一插口处,所述第一复合连接器位于第二插口处。
所述第一复合连接器包括:第一基座、第二光接头、两个第二电接头;所述第二光接头和两个所述第二电接头均位于所述第一基座上,且,两个所述第二电接头对称地位于所述第二光接头的两侧;所述第二光接头与所述光电转换器件的第二端相连;两个所述第二电接头均与所述供电线路的第二端相连。
光器件的光电转换器件和供电器件的供电线路都位于壳体中,壳体具有第一插口和第二插口,以便于插入复合缆以及插入设备。光电转换器件的两端分别与第一光接头和第二光接头相连,供电线路的两端分别与第一电接头和第二电接头连接。第一光接头和第一电接头都位于第一插口处,集成有第二光接头和第二电接头的第一复合连接器位于第二插口处。示例地,第一插口可以作为该复合模块插入到设备的插口,第二插口可以作为该复合模块插入复合缆的插口。该复合模块将poe供电功能和光电转换功能集成在一起。那么,作为被插设备,如交换机和ap的面板上只需要设置用来插该复合模块的接口即可,利于节省交换机和ap的面板尺寸,有利于交换机和ap的小型化发展。
特别地,本申请实施例提供的复合模块使用了第一复合连接器,该第一复合连接器将第二光接头和第二电接头集成在一起,提供了一种新型结构的复合模块,该复合模块满足交换机和ap的小型化发展。由于光接头和电接头集成在一起,这样可以通过在现有的光接口上定义电接口,或者现有的电接口上定义光接口的方式,来获得该第一复合连接器,利于提高该复合模块的兼容性。
在一些可能的实现方式中,所述第二电接头还被配置为能够与外部连接器上的电接头适配插接,以使得第二光接头与所述外部连接器上的光接头精准对接。也就是说,第二电接头同时起到了电力传输和定位作用。
举例来说,对于目前传统的一些光接口,其上一般具有定位用导引件,例如为导引针,如果导引针为可导电的,例如采用金属材质,这样,就可以将该金属导引针作为第二电接头使用,就可以通过在传统的光接口上定义电接口方式来获得该第一复合连接器,这样,在不改变传统光接口的物理结构的前提下,即可容易地获得第一复合连接器,同时,还能确保第一复合连接器与传统光接口的兼容性一致。
举例来说,MPO接口指的是接口采用MPO连接器(Multi-fiber Push On Connector,多光纤推接连接器)光模块,其能够实现多芯光纤同时连接,而且体积仅与1-2个SC连接器相当,体积锐减了90%以上。MPO接口通常与MPO光纤跳线搭配使用,以下就传统的MPO接口和MPO光纤跳线的结构作简单描述:MPO接口包括:第一MPO连接头、接口座,第一MPO连接头位于接口座的第一接口内。MPO光纤跳线包括:光缆、以及位于光缆端部的第二MPO连接头。其中,第一MPO连接头和第二MPO连接头中的一个公接头,另一个为母接头,应用时,第二MPO连接头能够插入接口座的第二接口内来与第一MPO连接头适配连接(即,公接头与母接头之间的适配连接)。
第一MPO连接头包括:第一插芯座、以及位于第一插芯座上的第一带状光纤和两个第一导引件,两个第一导引件分别位于第一带状光纤的两侧。第一导引件的结构根据第一MPO连接头的类型来确定,当第一MPO连接头为公接头时,第一导引件为导引针。相应地,当第一MPO连接头为母接头时,第一导引件为导引孔。
第二MPO连接头包括:第二插芯座,以及位于第二插芯座上的第二带状光纤和两个第二导引件,其中,两个第二导引件分别位于第二带状光纤的两侧。当第二MPO连接头为母接头时,第二导引件为导引孔。相应地,当第二MPO连接头为公接头时,第二导引件为导引针。
接口座具有相对的第一接口和第二接口,第一接口被配置为用于接纳第一MPO连接头,并使第一MPO连接头被锁紧于其中;第二接口被配置为用于接纳第二MPO连接头,并使第 二MPO连接头被锁紧于其中。对于MPO接口来说,其包括接口座,并且接口座的第一接口被第一MPO连接头所占据,接口座的第二接口为空置状态,用于接纳外部连接器,例如上述的第二MPO连接头。
第一MPO连接头与第二MPO连接头在接口座内进行连接(第一插芯座和第二插芯座的端面面面接触),这使得:(1)第一MPO连接头的第一带状光纤与第二MPO连接头的第二带状光纤进行对接,以获得光信号通路;以及,(2)第一MPO连接头的第一导引件与第二MPO连接头的第二导引件插接,以实现定位。
在一些可能的实现方式中,所述第一复合连接器采用MPO接口,所述MPO接口包括:第一MPO连接头和接口座;
所述第一MPO连接头位于所述接口座的第一接口处,所述接口座的第二接口用于接纳所述外部连接器;

在一些可能的实现方式中,所述第一MPO连接头为母接头,相应地,所述第一导引件为导引孔。
因为两个第一导引件对称地位于第一带状光纤两侧,这与本申请实施例中所述的两个第二电接头对称地位于第二光接头的两侧也相对应。
作为一种示例,第一MPO连接头为公接头,相应地,第一导引件为导引针。
作为另一种示例,第一MPO连接头为母接头,相应地,第一导引件为导引孔。
本申请实施例提供的复合模块,充分利用了MPO接口本身的结构,并在第一MPO连接头中将其第一导引件,例如金属导引针定义为电接头,使供电线路与第一导引件进行电连接,即可传输电信号。可见,在不改变MPO接口物理结构的前提下,其上的带状光纤作能够为第二光接头,其上的两个金属导引针能够作为第二电接头,使得MPO光接口能够用作第一复合连接器,如此不仅简化了第二光接头和第二电接头的制备工艺(直接采用MPO接口即可),不仅使得本申请实施例提供的复合模块满足交换机和ap的小型化发展,还能够兼容标准的MPO连接器,提高了该复合模块的适用性。

本申请实施例提供的复合缆组件中,如若采用MPO连接器母接头作为第二复合连接器,MPO连接器母接头的物理结构并未作改变,仅仅在其中定义了新的电接口,该电接口指的是能够导电的第二导引件。因此,第二复合连接器能够兼容本领域标准的MPO适配器,达到使两个MPO连接器接头对接的目的。
同时,第二复合连接器还能够兼容本领域标准的MPO连接器接头,也就是说,第二复合连接器不仅适用于与本申请的复合模块进行连接,也适用于与本领域标准的MPO连接器接头进行连接,拓宽了其适用性。

具体实施方式
一些相关方案中,交换机和ap的面板上都需要至少设置两个端口,一个作为光端口用来插光模块,另一个作为电端口用来插电源连接器,使得这些相关方案至少具有以下缺点:(1)占据较多的面板尺寸,不利于交换机和ap的小型化发展;(2)单一的光模块不支持供电;(3)单一的电模块不支持更高数据传输速率和更多容量的传输演进。
本申请实施例提供了一种复合模块,该复合模块也可以称为光电复合模块,一方面可以用来进行光信号和电信号的转换,另一方面可以用来实现以太网供电。其中以太网供电也可以简称poe供电,是一种为一些设备,如ip(internet protocol,网络互连协议)电话机、ap(access point,接入点)设备和网络摄像机等,传输数据信号的同时,还能为其供电的技术。
其中,复合模块可以是用于实现光信号转换为电信号的模块,也可以是用于实现电信号 转换为光信号的模块,还可以是既能实现光信号转换为电信号,也能实现电信号转换为光信号的模块。
该复合模块的一种可能的应用场景可以是,应用在交换机和ap的连接中,交换机和ap的面板上都分别插有该复合模块,插在交换机上的复合模块和插在ap上的复合模块之间通过复合缆连接,进而实现交换机和ap的连接。
其中,复合缆也即是包覆有光纤和电缆,例如铜线的线缆,光纤用于实现光信号的传输,铜线用于实现电能的传输。
该复合模块应用在交换机和ap之间的连接中时,该复合模块可以配合光通信设备,如交换机和ap等一起使用,也可以配合复合缆一起使用。其中,光通信设备的面板上具有用来插该复合模块的端口,端口中具有与该复合模块的光接头相连的光接口,该端口中还具有与该复合模块的电接头相连的电接口。同样,复合缆的连接器中具有与该复合模块的光接头相连的光纤连接器,还具有与该复合模块的电接头相连的电源连接器。
在一种实施例中,该复合模块包括实现光电转换功能的器件和实现poe功能的器件,光接头和电接头集成在一个插口中,使得与该复合模块配合的光通信设备的面板上只需要设置一个用来插该复合模块的端口即可,该端口中具有电接口和光接口,可以节省光通信设备的面板尺寸,有利于设备的小型化发展。
其中,对于该复合模块所属的类型,按照功能划分,该复合模块可以是光接收复合模块,光发送复合模块,光收发一体复合模块和光转发复合模块等中的任意一种。
按照可插拔性划分,该复合模块可以是热插拔复合模块和非热插拔复合模块中的任意一种。
按照封装类型划分,该复合模块可以是多发多收光模块,例如为qsfp(quad small form-factor pluggable,四通道小型可热插拔光模块)复合模块、osfp(octal small form factor pluggable)复合模块和ngsfp(next generation sfp)复合模块等。
其中,本实施例对该复合模块所属的具体类型不做具体限定,下面将详细介绍该复合模块的实现光电转换功能和poe供电功能的具体结构。
如图1所示,该复合模块包括壳体1、光器件2、供电器件3、第一复合连接器4;参考图2所示,壳体1的第一端具有第一插口11,壳体1的第二端具有第二插口12;光器件2包括光电转换器件21和第一光接头22,光电转换器件21的第一端和第一光接头22相连;供电器件3包括供电线路31和第一电接头32,供电线路31的第一端和第一电接头32相连;光电转换器件21和供电线路31均位于壳体1中,第一光接头22和第一电接头32均位于第一插口11处,第一复合连接器4位于第二插口12处。
如附图3所示,第一复合连接器4包括:第一基座41、第二光接头42、两个第二电接头43;第二光接头42和两个第二电接头43均位于第一基座41上,且,两个第二电接头43对称地位于第二光接头42的两侧;第二光接头42与光电转换器件21的第二端相连;两个第二电接头43均与供电线路31的第二端相连。
光器件2的光电转换器件21和供电器件3的供电线路31都位于壳体1中,壳体1具有第一插口11和第二插口12,以便于插入复合缆以及插入设备。光电转换器件21的两端分别与第一光接头22和第二光接头42相连,供电线路31的两端分别与第一电接头32和第二电接头43连接。第一光接头21和第一电接头32都位于第一插口11处,集成有第二光接头42 和第二电接头43的第一复合连接器4位于第二插口12处。示例地,第一插口11可以作为该复合模块插入到设备的插口,第二插口12可以作为该复合模块插入复合缆的插口。该复合模块将poe供电功能和光电转换功能集成在一起,解决了相关技术中单一的光模块不支持供电以及单一的电模块不支持更高数据传输速率和更多容量的传输演进的技术问题。另外,作为被插设备,如交换机和ap的面板上只需要设置用来插该复合模块的接口即可,利于节省交换机和ap的面板尺寸,有利于交换机和ap的小型化发展。
特别地,本申请实施例提供的复合模块使用了第一复合连接器4,该第一复合连接器4将第二光接头42和第二电接头43集成在一起,提供了一种新型结构的复合模块,该复合模块满足交换机和ap的小型化发展。由于光接头和电接头集成在一起,这样可以通过在现有的光接口上定义电接口的方式,来获得该第一复合连接器4,利于提高该复合模块的兼容性。
在一些可能的实现方式中,第二电接头43还被配置为能够与外部连接器上的电接头适配插接,以使得第二光接头42与所述外部连接器上的光接头精准对接,也就是说,第二电接头43同时起到了电力传输和定位作用。
外部连接器指的是,当复合模块插入到设备或者插入到复合缆中时,设备或者复合缆上具有的与第一复合连接器4相适配的光电复合连接器。示例地,外部连接器可以位于复合缆的端部,或者,外部连接器也可以设置于设备上。
复合模块中的第二电接头43与外部连接器上的电接头能够适配插接,两个电接头中的一个可以为凸块状结构(例如,为导引针),另一个为凹孔状结构(例如为导引孔)。
举例来说,对于目前传统的一些光接口,其上可能具有定位用导引针,如果导引针为可导电的,例如采用金属材质,金属导引针就可以作为第二电接头43使用,进而就可以通过在传统的光接口上定义电接口方式来获得该第一复合连接器4,这样,在不改变传统光接口的物理结构的前提下,即可容易地获得第一复合连接器4,同时,还能确保第一复合连接器4与传统光接口的兼容性一致。
举例来说,MPO接口指的是接口采用MPO连接器(Multi-fiber Push On Connector,多光纤推接连接器)光模块,其能够实现多芯光纤同时连接,而且体积仅与1-2个SC连接器相当,体积锐减了90%以上。MPO连接器能够即插即用,不需要剥纤、对接、熔纤等繁琐的步骤,缩短了安装时间,降低了施工技术的难度,适用于安装高密度光纤系统。
MPO接口通常与MPO光纤跳线搭配使用,以下就传统的MPO接口和MPO光纤跳线的结构作简单描述:
如附图4所示,MPO接口包括:第一MPO连接头401、接口座402,第一MPO连接头401位于接口座402的第一接口4021内。
如附图4所示,MPO光纤跳线包括:光缆、以及位于光缆端部的第二MPO连接头403。其中,第一MPO连接头401和第二MPO连接头403中的一个公接头,另一个为母接头,应用时,第二MPO连接头403能够插入接口座402的第二接口4022内来与第一MPO连接头401适配连接(即,公接头与母接头之间的适配连接)。
如附图4所示,第一MPO连接头401包括:第一插芯座4011、以及位于第一插芯座4011上的第一带状光纤4012和两个第一导引件4013,两个第一导引件4013分别位于第一带状光纤4012的两侧。第一导引件4013的结构根据第一MPO连接头401的类型来确定,例如,附图4示出了当第一MPO连接头401为公接头时,第一导引件4013为导引针。相应地,当 第一MPO连接头401为母接头时,第一导引件4013为导引孔(附图未示出)。
第一带状光纤4012中的光纤数目可以为8-144芯,例如8芯、12芯、或者24芯等,以用于常见的数据中心或者LAN应用;或者,例如光纤数目还可以为32芯、48芯、60芯等,以用于大型的光学交换机等。
第一带状光纤4012贯穿第一插芯座4011,并且第一带状光纤4012的两端分别暴露于第一插芯座4011相对的第一端面和第二端面上。两个第一导引件4013贯穿第一插芯座4011,例如,参见图4,当第一导引件4013为导引针时,并第一导引件4013的一端突出于第一插芯座4011的第一端面的两侧。第一插芯座4011的第一端面指的是用于与第二MPO连接头403的第二插芯座4031的端面接触的一端的表面。
第二MPO连接头403包括:第二插芯座4031,以及位于第二插芯座4031上的第二带状光纤4032和两个第二导引件4033,其中,两个第二导引件4033分别位于第二带状光纤4032的两侧。第二导引件4033的结构根据第二MPO连接头403的类型来确定,例如,附图4示出了当第二MPO连接头403为母接头时,第二导引件4033为导引孔。相应地,当第二MPO连接头403为公接头时,第二导引件4033为导引针。
第二带状光纤4032贯穿第二插芯座4031,并且,第二带状光纤4032的两端分别暴露于第二插芯座4031相对的第一端面和第二端面上。第二带状光纤4032中的光纤数目可以为8-144芯,例如8芯、12芯、或者24芯等,以用于常见的数据中心或者LAN应用;或者,例如光纤数目还可以为32芯、48芯、60芯等,以用于大型的光学交换机等。
接口座402具有相对的第一接口4021和第二接口4022,第一接口4021被配置为用于接纳第一MPO连接头401,并使第一MPO连接头401被锁紧于其中;第二接口4022被配置为用于接纳第二MPO连接头403,并使第二MPO连接头403被锁紧于其中。对于MPO接口来说,其包括接口座402,并且接口座402的第一接口4021被第一MPO连接头401所占据,接口座402的第二接口4022为空置状态,用于接纳外部连接器,例如上述的第二MPO连接头403。
第一MPO连接头401与第二MPO连接头403在接口座402内进行连接(第一插芯座4011和第二插芯座4031的端面面面接触),这使得:(1)第一MPO连接头401的第一带状光纤4012与第二MPO连接头403的第二带状光纤4032进行对接,以获得光信号通路;以及,(2)第一MPO连接头401的第一导引件4013与第二MPO连接头403的第二导引件4033插接,以实现定位。
根据上述的MPO连接器的结构可知,可以在第一MPO连接头401上定义电接头,使其作为本申请实施例预期的第一复合连接器4。
示例地,本申请实施例提供的第一复合连接器4采用MPO接口,该MPO接口包括:第一MPO连接头401和接口座402,第一MPO连接头401位于接口座402的第一接口4021处,接口座402的第二接口用于接纳外部连接器,也就是说,外部连接器能够进入第二接口4022,此时第二接口4022实际上起到了插口的作用,在该接口内,外部连接器上的电接头与第二电接头43适配连接,外部连接器上的光接头与第二光接头43适配对接。
第一MPO连接头401的第一插芯座4011作为第一基座41;第一MPO连接头401的第一带状光纤4012作为第二光接头42;第一MPO连接头401的第一导引件4013能够导电,并作为第二电接头43。
因为两个第一导引件4013对称地位于第一带状光纤4012两侧,这与本申请实施例中所述的两个第二电接头43对称地位于第二光接头42的两侧也相对应。
作为一种示例,如附图4所示,第一MPO连接头401为公接头,相应地,第一导引件4013为导引针。
作为另一种示例,第一MPO连接头401为母接头,相应地,第一导引件4013为导引孔。
本申请实施例提供的复合模块,充分利用了MPO接口本身的结构,并在第一MPO连接头41中将其第一导引件4013,例如金属导引针定义为电接头,使供电线路31与第一导引件4013进行电连接,即可传输电信号。可见,在不改变MPO接口物理结构的前提下,其上的带状光纤作能够为第二光接头42,其上的两个金属导引针能够作为第二电接头43,使得MPO光接口能够用作第一复合连接器4,如此不仅简化了第二光接头42和第二电接头43的制备工艺(直接采用MPO接口即可),不仅使得本申请实施例提供的复合模块满足交换机和ap的小型化发展,还能够兼容标准的MPO连接器,提高了该复合模块的适用性。
本申请实施例中,将第一复合连接器4的接口座402,具体是接口座402的外壳固定于壳体1的第二插口12处,其固定方式包括但不限于以下:粘接、螺钉连接、卡接、键连接等。
以第一MPO连接头401为公接头举例来说,第一MPO连接头401的第一导引件4013为金属导引针,其作为第二电接头43使用,第二电接头43需要和供电线路31进行连接。以下将示例性地描述第二电接头43与供电线路31之间的连接方式:
在一些可能的实现方式(1)中,如附图3和附图7所示,使供电线路31包括:相互连接的供电线缆31a和供电线路板31b;其中,供电线缆31a的一端与第二电接头43连接,供电线缆31a的另一端与供电线路板31b的一端连接,供电线路板31b的另一端与第一电接头32连接。
这样,第二电接头43、供电线路31、第一电接头32顺次连接,即可形成一个完整的电信号及电力通道。
上述实现方式的优势在于:可以不改变本申请实施例使用的MPO连接器的结构,以简化复合模块的制备工艺,同时使得现有的标准MPO连接器即可适用于本申请。
在一些可能的实现方式(2)中,还可以适应性改进第一MPO连接头401的结构,例如,使第一MPO连接头401的金属导引针的第二端突出于公接头插芯4011的第二端面一定的长度,该长度使得金属导引针能够直接与供电线路31进行电连接。其中,公接头插芯4011的第二端面指的是封闭于壳体1内部的端面。在该实现方式中,供电线路31可以设计成线路板状,金属导引针所形成的第二电接头43直接焊接于供电线路31的线路板上。
在一些可能的实现方式中,如附图3所示,本申请实施例提供的复合模块为双纤双向复合模块,相应地,第二光接头42的数量为两个,一个作为发送端,另一个作为接收端。通过将第一MPO连接头401上的第一带状光纤4012分离成两路,以分别用于两个第二光接头42。
在一些可能的实现方式中,本申请实施例提供的复合模块为单纤双向复合模块(图中未示出),相应的,第二光接头42的数量为一个,既作为发送端又作为接收端。通过使用第一MPO连接头401中第一带状光纤4012的部分或者全部,使其成为一路以用于第二光接头42。
本实施例对该复合模块具体为双纤双向模块还是单纤双向模块不做限定,附图示例中以双纤双向模块进行示例。
下面将分别介绍该复合模块的壳体1、光器件2和供电器件3:
壳体1作为该复合模块的保护外壳,用于保护复合模块内部的元器件,起到保护和防尘防水的作用。
光器件2也可以称为光电子器件,为用于实现光信号和电信号转换的器件。如图3所示并参考图5所示,光器件2包括光电转换器件21和第一光接头22,光电转换器件21的一端与第一光接头22相连,另一端与第二光接头42相连,光接头和光电转换器件21的相连可以包括物理上的相连和电学上的相连。
其中,光电转换器件21为用来实现光电转换功能所需的元器件,例如,可以包括激光器、探测器、放大器、时钟数据恢复和驱动芯片等。
在一些可能的实现方式中,如附图3及附图7所示,光电转换器件21包括:处理板21a、光电子器件21b。第二光接头42、光电子器件21b、处理板21a、第一光接头22依次连接,以实现光信号通路及进行光电转换。
处理板21a至少能够接收并处理光信号,这样,第二光接头42、光电子器件21b、处理板21a、第一光接头22顺次连接,即可形成一个完整的光信号通路。
为了简化复合模块的内部结构,处理板21a还可以被配置为还能够接收并处理电信号(也就是说,处理板21a实质上也起到了供电线路31的作用),光信号和电信号使用一个处理板21a来实现,从而实现对光电信号的处理以及传输。
示例地,上述的使处理板21a同时能够接收并处理光、电信号可以通过以下方式来实现:使处理板21a的排线包括:第一排线部分和第二排线部分,第一排线部分的两端分别与光电子器件21b和第一光接头22连接,第二排线部分的两端分别与第一电接头32和第二电接头42电连接,以进行电信号及电力传输。
供电器件3为用于实现poe供电的器件,图8为供电器件3的一种局部结构示意图,供电器件3包括该复合模块用于实现poe供电功能所需的元器件,可以包括供电线路31和位于供电线路31一端的第一电接头32。第一电接头32可用于与所插设备相连。在一种示例中,供电线路31可以是包覆有铜线的线缆,也可以是柔性线路板,还可以是刚性线路板中的至少一种等。
基于上述所述,光器件2的光电转换器件21和供电器件3的供电线路31都位于壳体1中,壳体1具有作为插入到设备的第一插口11,以及作为插入复合缆的第二插口12,光器件2和供电器件3均位于壳体1中,如图9所示,与光电转换器件21的一端相连的第一光接头22和与供电线路31的一端相连的第一电接头32都位于第一插口11处;如图6所示,与光电转换器件21的另一端相连的第二光接头42和与供电线路31的另一端相连的第二电接头43都位于第二插口12处。这样,将实现poe供电功能的供电器件3与实现光电转换功能的光器件2集成在一起,得到复合模块,那么,作为被插设备,如交换机和ap的面板上只需要设置用来插该复合模块的接口即可,无需再设置用来插电源连接器的接口,进而可以节省交换机和ap的面板尺寸,有利于交换机和ap的小型化发展。
以下将介绍光器件2的光电转换器件21和供电器件3的供电线路31之间的位置关系,以及供电线路31的具体实现结构。
如图10所示,光电转换器件21和供电线路31相互独立。例如,光器件2的光电转换器件21位于一层,供电器件3的供电线路31位于一层,这两层之间可以间隔一定间距,也可以处于上下叠加放置状态。
示例性地,如附图3所示,光电转换器件21可以包括处理板21a和光电子器件21b,处理板21a和光电子器件21b处于同一层,供电线路31可以包括柔性线路板或者刚性线路板,供电线路31位于处理板21a和光电子器件21b的下方。示例性地,光电转换器件21靠近壳体1的底部内壁,供电线路31靠近壳体1的顶部内壁,光电转换器件21和供电线路31可以叠加位于壳体1中,这种位置关系,可以节约复合模块的内部空间;光电转换器件21和供电线路31也可以上下间隔一定间距地位于壳体1中,这种位置关系,利于使第一电接头32位于图3所示的期望的位置。
在一些可能的实现方式中,如附图3所示,供电线路31包括:相互连接的供电线缆31a和供电线路板31b;供电线缆31a的一端与第二电接头413连接,供电线缆31a的另一端与供电线路板31b的一端连接,供电线路板31b的另一端与第一电接头32连接。
例如,供电线缆31a采用线缆,供电线路板31b采用柔性线路板或者刚性线路板。
在一些示例中,第一光接头22和第一电接头32也可以处于上下叠加位于第一插口11中,也可以使第一光接头22和第一电接头32集成在一起等,本实施例对此不做限定,下文将会详细介绍第一光接头22和第一电接头32之间的位置关系。
本申请实施例中,供电线路31不仅可以是柔性线路板,也可以是刚性线路板,还可以是包覆有铜线的线缆,还可以是以上任意两种或者三种的组合。可以参考图8所示,供电线路31为线缆。

作为另一种可能的示例(2),其与上述示例(1)相比,区别在于:将供电线缆31a替换为柔性线路板,其余部分不变。
作为另一种可能的示例(3),其与上述示例(1)相比,区别在于:将供电线缆31a替换为柔性线路板,同时,将供电线路板31b替换为线缆。
如上所述,光电转换器件21和供电线路31可以相互独立,叠加位于壳体1中;光电转换器件21和至少部分供电线路31也可以集成在一起,光电转换器件21和供电线路31集成在一起,可以是,在光电转换器22的线路板上布置排线,作为供电线路。
本申请实施例中,使至少部分供电线路31和光电转换器件21集成为一体,这包括:(1)使部分供电线路31与光电转换器件21集成为一体,以及,(2)使全部供电线路31与光电转换器件21集成为一体。
对于(1)的情况(图中未示出),举例来说,供电线路31包括:相互连接的柔性段和刚性段,供电线路31的刚性段和光电转换器件21集成为一体。举例来说,柔性段可以采用柔性线路板或者线缆,刚性段采用刚性线路板。

关于供电线路31和光电转换器件21集成为一体,本实施例对第一光接头22和第一电接头32的位置关系不做具体限定,下文将会详细介绍第一光接头22和第一电接头32之间的位置关系。
以上是光电转换器件21和供电线路31的位置关系介绍,以下将详细介绍光器件2的第一光接头22和供电器件3的第一电接头32之间的位置关系,以及第一电接头32的具体实现结构。
在位置关系上,如图13所示,第一电接头32可以位于第一光接头22和第一插口11的位于顶部的内壁之间。

示例性地,如图13所示,第一电接头导电部322可以贴合在第一电接头安装部321的面 对第一光接头22的外表面上。又示例性地,第一电接头导电部322也可以贴合在第一电接头安装部321的侧壁外表面上。又示例性地,第一电接头安装部321的侧壁外表面固定在第一插口11的侧壁内表面上时,第一电接头导电部322也可以贴合在第一电接头安装部321的背对第一电接头23的外表面上。
又例如,如图14所示,第一电接头导电部322为金属杆;第一电接头导电部322固定于第一电接头安装部321的内部,并伸出于第一电接头安装部321的远离供电线路31的端面。
示例性地,如图14所示,并参考图10所示,第一电接头导电部322贯穿第一电接头安装部321的内部,一端伸出于第一电接头安装部321的靠近供电线路31的端面并与供电线路31电连接,另一端伸出于第一电接头安装部321的远离供电线路31的端面用于与所插设备电连接。
在一些示例中,为了使得第一电接头导电部322与所插设备的电连接比较稳定,相应的,金属杆的第一电接头导电部322可以为弹针,能够沿着复合模块的插拔方向伸缩。
又例如,如图15所示,第一电接头导电部322为条状的金属弹片;第一电接头安装部321具有安装槽323,安装槽323在第一电接头安装部321的外表面具有槽口,第一电接头安装部321的外表面为平行于复合模块的插拔方向的表面;第一电接头导电部322的端部固定于安装槽323的槽壁,第一电接头导电部322的用于和所插设备电连接的接触部322a伸出于槽口。

示例性地,第一电接头安装部321具有安装槽323,如图15所示,安装槽323在面对第一光接头22的外表面上具有槽口。条状金属弹片的第一电接头导电部322的一端可以固定在安装槽323的槽壁上,另一端可以悬空在安装槽323中,如图15所示,第一电接头导电部322的接触部322a伸出于槽口,其中,接触部322a是第一电接头导电部322的一部分用来和所插设备电连接,例如,接触部322a可以是靠近第一电接头导电部322的端部的弯折部,或者,接触部322a也可以是第一电接头导电部322的端部等。接触部322a伸出于安装槽323的槽口,使得该复合模块插入到设备中时,接触部322a可以与所插设备中的导电部相接触实现电连接。
又例如,第一电接头32与供电线路31一体成型,如图5所示,第一电接头32包括:连接段32a、位于连接段32a上的电接触段32b。其中,连接段32a呈板状,连接段32a的一端与供电线路31的表面垂直连接,这样能够使其上的电接触段32b与复合模块的插拔方向垂直,使得该复合模块插入到设备中时,电接触段32b可以与所插设备中的导电部顺利地进行接触以实现电连接。
上述是第一光接头22和第一电接头32相互独立,叠加位于第一插口11中的情况,第一光接头22和第一电接头32也可以集成在一起。
例如,如图16所示,第一电接头32和第一光接头22集成得到光电复合接头20;光电复合接头20包括光电复合载体201和金手指202,金手指202固定于光电复合载体201的表面上,光电复合载体201的表面为平行于复合模块的插拔方向的表面;金手指202中第一部分金属片202a与光电转换器件21电连接用于形成第一光接头22,金手指202中第二部分金 属片202b与供电线路31电连接用于形成第一电接头32。
其中,金手指由多个导电触片组成,铺设在载体的位置相对的两个表面。
在一些示例中,如图16所示,第一电接头23和第一光接头33集成在一起得到光电复合接头20,光电复合接头20包括光电复合载体201和金手指202,光电复合载体201具有板状结构,例如,可以是线路板的靠近端部的一部分,金手指202可以位于光电复合载体201的表面上,如可以位于光电复合载体201的位置相对的两个表面上。金手指202中一部分金属片可以与光电转换器件21电连接,用于形成第一光接头22,金手指202中的另一部分金属片可以与供电线路31电连接,用于形成第一电接头32。示例性地,如图16所示,金手指202中的第一部分金属片202a与光电转换器件21电连接,用于形成第一光接头22,金手指202中的第二部分金属片202b与供电线路31电连接,用于形成第一电接头32。
这种将第一光接头22和第一电接头32集成在一起,能够节约复合模块的安装空间,有利于复合模块的小型化发展。
基于上述所述,该复合模块不仅具有用于实现光信号和电信号转换的光器件,还具有用于实现poe供电的供电器件,这样,复合模块插入的设备,如交换机和ap等的面板上可以只设置用来插该复合模块的接口,无需再另外设置用来实现poe供电的接口,进而可以节约设备上的面板尺寸。
如上述所述,该复合模块具有实现poe供电的供电器件3,在应用中,该复合模块可以用于在检测到所插入的光通信设备为受电设备时,确定光通信设备的功耗级别,根据光通信设备的功耗级别向光通信设备输送电能。
其中,在poe供电中包括供电设备(power sourcing equipment,pse)和受电设备(powered device,pd),供电设备可以是poe交换机等,受电设备可以是poe网络摄像机和ap等。
例如,在一种场景中,交换机的接口中插有该复合模块,ap的接口中插有该复合模块,交换机上的复合模块和ap上的复合模块之间通过复合缆连接。交换机是供电设备,ap为受电设备,交换机通过端口向ap输出一个很小的电压,插在交换机上的复合模块中的处理器检测到ap为受电设备,支持poe供电之后,可以向所插的交换机反馈ap为受电设备,然后交换机提高向ap输送的电压,以使插在交换机上的复合模块的处理器检测ap的功耗级别,之后,插在交换机上的复合模块的处理器根据预先存储的功耗级别和供电电压的对应关系,确定ap的功耗级别所对应的供电电压,并将ap所需的供电电压反馈给所插的交换机,以使交换机按照上述供电电压向ap稳定输送电能。
在一些可能的实现方式中,该复合模块中的供电器件3不仅可以用来传输电能,还可以用来传输一些数据信号,这些数据信号可以包括用于调整光器件的光功率的信号和复合模块出现异常的信号。
例如,光器件2的发射端可以向ap发送光信号,ap可以向光器件2发送反馈信号,反馈信号中携带有接收到的光信号的功率大小,ap向光器件2发送的反馈信号可以通过复合缆中的铜线和供电器件3中的供电线路31传输至供电器件3中的处理器中,使得处理器可以基于所发送的光信号的功率,以及反馈信号中的光信号的功率,调整下一次光器件2向ap发送的光信号的功率大小,以向ap发送合适功率的光信号。
又例如,复合模块出现故障时,如发送的光信号的功率过小,或者,无法进行光电转换时,可以通过供电器件3向所插设备发送异常信号,以使技术人员可以通过设备了解到复合 模块出现故障,需要更换复合模块。
可见,该复合模块具备实现poe供电的供电器件,该供电器件不仅能够实现电能传输,还能够实现一些数据信号传输,复合模块还具备poe供电的管理过程。
在本申请实施例中,该复合模块不仅具有实现光信号和电信号转换的光器件,还具有实现poe供电的供电器件,光器件的第一光接头和供电器件的第一电接头位于壳体的同一插口处,即壳体的第二插口处。这样,作为被插设备,其用于插光模块的光端口和用于插电源连接器的电端口也位于同一个端口中,示例性地,如交换机和ap的面板上只需要设置用来插该复合模块的端口即可,进而可以节省交换机和ap的面板尺寸,有利于交换机和ap的小型化发展。
本实施例还提供了一种复合模块的制造方法,该复合模块即是上述所述的复合模块,该方法可以包括如下步骤:
提供第一复合连接器4,其中,该第一复合连接器4包括:第一基座41、第二光接头42、两个第二电接头43;第二光接头42和两个第二电接头43均位于第一基座41上,且,两个第二电接头43对称地位于第二光接头42的两侧。
然后,将第一光接头22连接在光电转换器件21的第一端,将第一复合连接器4中的第二光接头42连接在光电转换器件21的第二端,完成第一复合连接器4与光器件2的组装;
其中,将第一光接头22连接在光电转换器件21的第一端,以及,将第一复合连接器4中的第二光接头42连接在光电转换器件21的第二端的操作顺序不作限定,可以一个在前,另一个在后,也可以同时进行。
例如,如附图5所示,光电转换器件21包括处理板21a和光电子器件21b,处理板21a,又称光信号处理板上还安装有其它元器件,光电子器件21b和处理板21a电连接,第二光接头42采用第一MPO连接头401,使第一MPO连接头401中的带状光纤与光电子器件21b连接,进而实现第二光接头42与光电转换器件21之间的连接。在电性连接关系上,第二光接头42与光电转换器件21电连接,第一光接头22与光电转换器件21电连接。
然后,将第一电接头32连接在供电线路31的第一端,将第一复合连接器4中的两个第二电接头43连接在供电线路31的第二端,完成第一复合连接器4与供电器件3的组装;
例如,供电线路31可以包括线缆和承载线缆的承载板,线缆铺设在承载板上。第二电接头43采用第一MPO连接头401的金属导引针,供电线路31与金属导引针进行连接即可。
在电性连接关系上,供电线路31的两端分别与第二电接头43和第一电接头导电部322电连接。第一电接头导电部322的远离线缆的一端露出于第一电接头安装部321,以便于该复合模块能和所插设备电连接。
之后,将光器件2、供电器件3和第一复合连接器4安装在壳体1中,且第一光接头22和第一电接头32均位于壳体1的第一插口11处,第一复合连接器4位于壳体1的第二插口处。
示例性地,该复合模块的一种可能的制造方式可以是,该复合模块可以是在光模块的基础上进行制造。例如,将光模块的壳体打开,在壳体的内壁靠近上盖内表面上或者靠近底座内表面上铺设线缆,也可以铺设柔性线路板,也可以直接在光模块的线路板上布置排线等,作为供电器件的供电线路。然后,在光模块的壳体的靠近第一光接头的位置处安装第一电接头。其中,第一电接头可以安装在靠近第一光接头的壳体内表面上,也可以集成在第一光接 头上,如第一光接头的金手指中通常具有预留金属片,可以将预留金属片作为第一光接头的第一光接头导电部。
其中,本实施例对该复合模块的具体制造安装过程,不做具体限定,能够实现光器件2的光电转换器件21和供电器件3的供电线路31均位于壳体1中,光器件2的第一光接头22和供电器件3的第一电接头32位于第一插口11处,第一复合连接器4均位于壳体1的第二插口12处即可。
本申请示例中,该复合模块不仅具有实现光信号和电信号转换的光器件,还具有实现poe供电的供电器件,光器件的第一光接头和供电器件的第一电接头位于壳体的同一插口处,即壳体的第一插口处。这样,作为被插设备,其用于插光模块的光端口和用于插电源连接器的电端口也位于同一个端口中,示例性地,如交换机和ap的面板上只需要设置用来插该复合模块的端口即可,进而可以节省交换机和ap的面板尺寸,有利于交换机和ap的小型化发展。
再一方面,本申请实施例还提供了一种复合缆组件,如附图17所示,该复合缆组件包括:复合缆5、连接于复合缆5一端的第二复合连接器6。
第二复合连接器6包括:第二基座61、第三光接头62、两个第三电接头63;第三光接头62和两个第三电接头63均位于第二基座61上,且,两个第三电接头63对称地位于第三光接头62的两侧。
复合缆5包括:护套层51、以及位于护套层51内部的光纤52和电缆53。
光纤52的一端与第三光接头62的一端连接,第三光接头62的另一端用于与复合模块的第二光接头42连接。电缆53的一端与两个第三电接头63的一端连接,两个第三电接头63的另一端用于与复合模块的两个第二电接头43连接。
本申请实施例提供的复合缆组件,使光接头和电接头集成在一起形成一个第二复合连接器6,这样可以通过在现有的光接口上定义电接口,或者现有的电接口上定义光接口的方式,来获得该第二复合连接器6,利于提高该复合缆组件的兼容性。
在一些可能的实现方式中,第三电接头63还被配置为能够与复合模块上的第二电接头43适配插接,以使得第三光接头62与复合模块上的第二光接头42精准对接。
第三电接头63同时起到了电力传输和定位作用。举例来说,对于目前传统的一些光接口,其上一般具有定位用导引孔,如果导引孔设计为可导电的,例如其内壁采用金属材质,导引孔可以作为第三电接头63使用,这样,就可以通过在传统的光接口上定义电接口方式来获得该第二复合连接器6,这样,在不改变传统光接口的物理结构的前提下,即可容易地获得第二复合连接器6,同时,还能确保第二复合连接器6与传统光接口的兼容性一致。
与第一复合连接器4类似,采用MPO连接器也能够获得第二复合连接器6。示例地,如附图17所示,第二复合连接器6采用MPO连接器,将该MPO连接器定义为第二MPO连接头403,该第二MPO连接头403能够与复合模块中的第一MPO连接头401适配连接。
第二MPO连接头403的第二插芯座4031作为第二基座6;第二MPO连接头403的第二带状光纤4032作为第三光接头62;第二MPO连接头403的第二导引件4033能够导电并作为第三电接头63。
作为一种示例,如附图17所示,第二MPO连接头403为母接头,相应地,第二导引件4033为导引孔。
作为另一种示例,第二MPO连接头403为公接头,相应地,第二导引件4033为导引针(图中未示出该实现方式)。
复合缆组件中所涉及的第二MPO连接头403,可以采用本领域的标准MPO连接器母接头,通过使标准MPO连接器母接头中的导引孔设计为能够进行导电,即可适用于本申请。
本申请实施例提供的复合缆组件与本申请实施例提供的复合模块能够进行适配插接,应用时,使复合缆组件的第二复合连接器6(即第二MPO连接头403)插入至本申请复合模块的第二插口12(即接口座402的第二接口4022)中,这样复合缆组件中的第二MPO连接头403能够与复合模块中的第一MPO连接头401适配对接,这包括:第二MPO连接头403上的第二带状光纤4032(即,第三光接头62)与第一MPO连接头401上的第一带状光纤4012(即第一光接头42)对准并紧密连接;以及,第二MPO连接头403上的第二导引件4033(即,第三电接头63)与第一MPO连接头401上的第一导引件4013(即第一电接头43)进行插接。
以第二导引件4033为导引孔举例来说,可以通过以下方法使第二导引件4033能够导电:在第二插芯座4031内部形成安装孔,制备与安装孔尺寸相适配的金属套环,将金属套环安装于安装孔内,即可形成内壁为金属材质的导引孔结构的第二导引件4033。
本申请实施例提供的复合缆组件中,如若采用MPO连接器母接头43作为第二复合连接器6,MPO连接器母接头43的物理结构并未作改变,仅仅在其中定义了新的电接口,该电接口指的是能够导电的第二导引件4033。因此,第二复合连接器6能够兼容本领域标准的MPO适配器,达到使两个MPO连接头对接的目的。
同时,第二复合连接器6还能够兼容本领域标准的MPO连接头,也就是说,第二复合连接器6不仅适用于与本申请的复合模块进行连接,也适用于与本领域标准的MPO连接头进行连接,拓宽了其适用性。
对于复合缆组件,复合缆5的两端均连接有连接器,这种情况可以认为本申请实施例提供的复合缆组件为具有光电传输功能的光纤跳线。
在一些可能的实现方式中,如附图18所示,复合缆组件包括两个第二复合连接器6,两个第二复合连接器6分别连接于复合缆5的两端。
其中,复合缆5的光纤52的两端分别与两个第二复合连接器6的第二光接头62连接;以及,复合缆5的电缆53的两端分别与两个第二复合连接器6的第三电接头63,例如与第三电接头63的端部或者内壁进行连接。
在一些可能的实现方式中,如附图19所示,复合缆组件还包括:多个分支连接器7,多个分支连接器7连接于复合缆5的另一端。
该分支连接器7所采用的类型可以包括以下:传统的光纤连接器;对传统的光纤连接器增加电接头后的改进的光纤连接器;传统的网络连接器,例如网线插头;对传统的网线插头增加光接头后的改进的网线插头。
分支连接器7采用光纤连接器时,光纤连接器的类型包括但不限于以下:SC型连接器(Square Connector)、LC型连接器(Lucent connector)、FC型连接器(Ferrule Connector)、ST型连接器(Straight Tip Connector)中的至少一种。以上几种类型的连接器均为本领域常见的,根据实际插接对象,可以适应性地选择相应的连接器类型。
以上类型的分支连接器7本身具有光接头,以传输光信号。进一步地,还可以对上述分支连接器7进行改进,使其具有电接头。根据分支连接器7的具体类型,可以将分支连接器 7中本身具有的结构定义为电接头,还可以在分支连接器7中新增加电接头,以传输电信号。
示例地,分支连接器7包括:光纤接头和电接头。
光纤52设置为多路,每一路光纤52的一端与第二复合连接器6中相应的第二光接头62连接,每一路光纤52的另一端与相应的分支连接器7的光纤接头连接。
电缆53设置为多路,每一路电缆53的一端与第二复合连接器6的第三电接头63连接,每一路电缆53的另一端与相应的分支连接器7的电接头连接。
光纤52可以采用本领域常规的光通道分离方式进行分离,电缆53采用本领域常规的电通道分离方式进行分离,例如,将电缆53中的电线进行分簇,以形成多簇独立的且彼此绝缘的电线簇。
这样,本申请实施例提供的复合缆组件能够实现一分多连接器,并且同时进行了光通道的分离和电通道的分离。
以上所述仅为本申请的示例性实施例,并不用以限制本申请,凡在本申请的精神和原则之内,所作的任何修改、等同替换、改进等,均应包含在本申请的保护范围之内。
