Description

一种光模块 技术领域
本发明属于光通信技术领域,更具体地,涉及一种光模块。
背景技术
光模块(Optical transceiver)作为一种重要的有源光器件,在发送端和接收端分别实现信号的电-光转换和光-电转换。由于通信信号的传输主要以光纤作为介质,而产生端、转发端、处理端、接收端处理的是电信号,光模块具有广泛和不断增长的市场空间。光模块的上游主要为光芯片和无源光器件,下游客户主要为电信主设备商、运营商以及互联网云计算企业。
光模块遵循芯片—组件(OSA)—模块的封装顺序。激光器芯片和探测器芯片通过传统的TO封装形成TOSA(Transmitter Optical Subassembly,简写为TOSA)及ROSA(Receiver Optical Subassembly,简写为ROSA),同时将配套电芯片贴装在PCB(Printed Circuit Board,简写为PCB)上,再通过精密耦合连接光通道和光纤,最终封装成为一个完整的光模块。新兴的主要应用于短距多模的COB(Chip On board,简写为COB)采用混合集成方法,通过特殊的键合焊接工艺将芯片贴装在PCB上,并采用非气密性封装。
其中,SFP(Small Form-factor Pluggable,简写为SFP)+AOC(Active Optical Cables,简写为AOC)的光模块主要应用于短距离,随着云计算、物联网、移动互联网等应用的发展,急剧增长的数据流量对带宽提出越来越高的要求。近两年,“宽带中国”战略和加快建设网络强国战略相继提出,光通信作为最为重要的信息通信基础设施之一,在支撑我国社会信息化、宽带化建设和网络强国方面的作用日益凸显。光通信行业迅猛发展,带动光模块更新换代,当前光学通信日益激烈的市场竞争中,体积越来越小的通信设备需求,界面密度和接口板包含更高。为了适应需求的光通信设备,光模块是高度集成的小包装的发展。光模块SFP+在近5到10年内仍是光模块家族中的中流砥柱。尤其在近年来长距离40公里LR SFP+发展迅速。对SFP+光模块的改进优化,具有极大的前景和意义。
从需求侧看,带宽需求的不断增长带动高速光模块需求量快速增长,给光模块厂商带来持续增长的收入;同时由于光模块产品属于非标准类产品,定制需求较多这也造成光模块研发难度加大,无论是光学,电路还是结构上都对光模块提出了更高的要求。
从封装结构上来看,光模块应用在数据中心交换机时,光模块在使用过程中,会被频繁地重复性插拔,拔插困难,而且在百余次插拔过程中,光模块本身容易出现破损失效。此外,光模块的趋势是大容量小体积,为 了应对数据中心交换机的密集接口,光模块封装结构必须更加紧凑。
鉴于此,克服该现有技术产品所存在的不足是本技术领域亟待解决的问题。

具体实施方式

此外,下面所描述的本发明各个实施方式中所涉及到的技术特征只要彼此之间未构成冲突就可以相互组合。
实施例1:
参阅图1~图5,本实施例提供了一种光模块,所述光模块包括:拉环1、转动叉2、解锁体3和底座4,所述解锁体3上设置有叉口30,所述底座4上设置有凸块40,所述解锁体3设置在所述底座4上,所述解锁体3与所述转动叉2连接,所述转动叉2与所述底座4活动连接,所述拉环1与所述转动叉2连接。
在实际使用中,所述凸块40用于与接口设备的锁孔15(如图11所示)耦合,以将所述光模块锁定在所述接口设备上。
其中,本实施例的解锁方式为:所述拉环1用于接收外力,以带动所述转动叉2沿着所述底座4转动,所述转动叉2在转动的过程中,推动所述解锁体3向靠近所述凸块40的方向移动,直至所述叉口30抵开所述接口设备的锁孔15,进而将所述凸块40与所述接口设备的锁孔15解耦合。
在优选的实施例中,叉口30的中间部分为一缺口,叉口30的两个侧部呈楔形,该缺口与凸块40的位置相对应,此种结构,在解锁过程中,楔形的侧部会先与接口设备的锁孔15接触,以抵开所述接口设备的锁孔15; 同时,缺口正好可以避开凸块40,避免造成干涉。
在本实施例中,拉环1带动转动叉2沿着底座4转动,转动叉2在转动的过程中,推动解锁体3向靠近凸块40的方向移动,直至叉口30抵开接口设备的锁孔15,进而将凸块40与接口设备的锁孔15解耦合,实现解锁功能。通过长拉环结构解决了光模块在密集型机柜上插拔困难的问题,推挤式的解锁结构最大程度上保证了光模块内部的空间,且在解锁过程中,不会破坏光模块自身的结构,提高了光模块的可靠性,增加了光模块的使用寿命;解决了光模块在密集型机柜上插拔困难,解锁过程中容易对光模块造成破坏、解锁结构占用空间大的问题。
在实际应用场景下,所述转动叉2包括转动臂20,所述转动臂20上设置有受力部、转动部和施力部,所述受力部与所述拉环1连接,所述转动部与所述底座4形成转动连接,所述施力部与所述解锁体3连接;所述受力部接收来自于所述拉环1的外力,所述转动臂20绕着所述转动部转动,在转动过程中,通过施力部推动所述解锁体3向靠近所述凸块40的方向移动。
其中,转动臂20的数目可以为一个或两个,当转动臂20的数目为两个时,两个转动臂20相对于底座4对称设置。在优选的实施例中,转动臂20的数目为两个,此种结构受力更均匀。
在实际应用场景下,转动臂20上受力部和转动部的具体结构有多种可供选择的实现方式,同时底座4与该转动部连接的结构以及拉环1与该受力部连接的结构也进行相对应的设计即可。
如图3~图5所示,在可选的实施例中,所述受力部具体为固定柱201,所述拉环1上设置有固定孔11;所述固定柱201与所述固定孔11耦合,所述轴柱41容置于所述轴孔202内,所述轴柱41和所述轴孔202可相对转动。在另一个可选的实施例中,如图17所示,所述受力部为固定孔(未标示),所述拉环1配套设置固定柱(未标示),所述固定孔可以为长条形孔、U形孔或U形开口,所述固定柱设置在所述固定孔中。
在可选的实施例中,所述转动部为轴孔,所述底座4上设置轴柱,所述轴柱与所述轴孔可相对转动。在另一个可选的实施例中,所述转动部为轴柱,所述底座4上设置轴孔,所述轴柱与所述轴孔可相对转动,以通过所述轴孔和所述轴柱形成转动连接。
在实际应用场景下,转动臂20上施力部的具体结构有多种可供选择的实现方式,同时底座4与该施力部连接的结构以及解锁体3与该施力部连接的结构也进行相对应的设计即可。
在可选的实施例中,如图3~图4所示,所述施力部具体为转轴21,所述转轴21与所述转动臂20连接,所述解锁体3上设置有凹槽31,所述转轴21设置在所述凹槽31中;当所述拉环1接收外力时,所述转动臂20接收外力并绕着所述轴柱41转动,在转动过程中,所述转轴21通过所述凹 槽31推动所述解锁体3向靠近所述凸块40的方向移动。
在其他实施例中,如图16和图17所示,所述施力部具体为耦合孔21’,所述解锁体3上设置有固定轴31’;所述固定轴31’设置所述耦合孔21’内;所述转动臂20的受力部接收来自于所述拉环1的外力,并绕着所述轴柱41转动,在转动过程中,所述耦合孔21’带动所述解锁体3向靠近所述凸块40的方向移动。其中,在其他变形方案中,所述施力部具体为固定轴,所述解锁体3上设置有耦合孔。在此需要说明的是,施力部和解锁体的具体结构以及连接方式不作具体限定,施力部和解锁体可以自适应的进行配套设计,只要保证解锁叉2能够带动所述解锁体3运动即可。其中,图16和图17是拉环、解锁叉和解锁体的变形方式,主要提供了设计思路,在实际产品制作中,可以适应性改变拉环、解锁叉和解锁体的结构,以保证能够与光模块的其他部件相适配。此外,解锁叉的数目也可以为两个,以保证受力均匀。
下面具体说明一可选实施例的光模块的结构,继续参阅图4,所述转动叉2包括两个相对设置的转动臂20以及连接所述转动臂20的转轴21,所述转动臂20上设置有固定柱201和轴孔202,所述底座4上设置有轴柱41,所述拉环1上设置有固定孔11,所述解锁体3上设置有凹槽31;所述固定柱201与所述固定孔11耦合,所述轴柱41与所述轴孔202形成转动连接,所述转轴21设置在所述凹槽31中;当所述拉环1接收外力时,所述转动臂20接收外力并绕着所述轴柱41转动,在转动过程中,所述转轴21通过所述凹槽31推动所述解锁体3向靠近所述凸块40的方向移动。在可选的实施例中,所述固定柱201为圆形柱,所述固定孔11为腰圆孔,此种结构不仅可以将转动叉2固定在拉环1上,而且拆装方便。
在实际应用场景下,所述底座4上设置有导向槽42,所述拉环1上设置有折弯部12,所述折弯部12设置在所述导向槽42内,且所述折弯部12可以沿着所述导向槽42运动,从而保证所述拉环1可以相对于底座4运动。
在优选的实施例中,所述光模块还包括弹性件5,其中,所述弹性件5可以为弹簧,所述底座4上设置有第一收容空间43,所述弹性件5容置在所述第一收容空间43内,所述解锁体3上设置有挡面33;其中,在所述解锁体3向靠近所述凸块40的方向移动时,所述挡面33压缩所述弹性件5;在施加在所述拉环1上的外力被释放后,所述弹性件5恢复形变,向所述挡面33施加外力,以使所述解锁体3向远离所述凸块40的方向移动。在本实施例中,松开拉环1,借助弹簧力推动解锁体3,解锁体3可以完成自动复位,光模块的解锁结构回到初始状态,实现了自动复位的功能。
进一步地,结合图7和图8,所述底座4上设置有侧板44和安装面,所述侧板44、所述安装面和所述底座4的侧面形成所述第一收容空间43,所述安装面上设置有安装柱451,所述弹性件5的一端套设在所述安装柱451上,所述弹性件5的另一端邻近所述挡面33设置。其中,所述安装柱 451可以为锥形柱。
结合图5,所述解锁体3上设置有转折面34和限制面35,所述限制面35与所述止挡面33连接;其中,在所述解锁体3向靠近所述凸块40的方向移动时,所述挡面33压缩所述弹性件5,所述限制面35沿着所述侧板44移动,直至所述转折面34抵接所述台阶面46。
在优选的实施例中,所述拉环1还包括第一侧面13,所述底座4上设置有第一限位面52和第二限位面53,当所述光模块处于上锁状态时,所述拉环1的第一侧面13抵接所述第一限位面52,从而将拉环1限制在预设的位置,保证光模块稳定地处于上锁状态。在解锁过程中,所述转动叉2的转轴21顶在所述第二限位面53,从而限制叉口30的移动距离,避免叉口30向右移动的距离过长,损坏凸块40和接口设备。
下面结合图9~图11,说明光模块的上锁状态和解锁状态,其中,在图10中,左侧的图展示了光模块处于上锁状态(对应图9最上面的图和最下面的图),右侧的图展示了光模块处于解锁状态(对应图9中间的图)。
光模块上锁状态:在弹性件5的作用下,解锁体3停在左边的极限位置(如图9中最上面的图所示),转动叉2和拉环1停在图10所示位置,底座4的凸块40凸出在外。当光模块插入接口设备(例如,接口设备为交换机笼子)时,底座4的凸块40扣入接口设备的锁孔15中(如图11所示)。上锁状态下,所述拉环1的第一侧面13抵接所述第一限位面52以此限位。
光模块解锁状态:拉动拉环1向左移动(以图10的视角为例说明),拉环1的固定孔11带动转动叉2的固定柱201,从而向转动叉2施加向左的水平力,转动臂20的一端受力,带动转动叉2绕着底座4上的转轴21转动,转动叉2的转轴21推动解锁体3的凹槽31向右移动,从而推动解锁体3向右移动。在解锁体3向右移动的过程中,弹性件5处于挤压状态,解锁体3的叉口30伸出,将接口设备的锁孔15挑开,底座4的凸块40从接口设备的锁孔15中脱出(如图所示)。此时,继续拉动拉环1,可以将光模块从接口设备里拔出来。解锁状态下,所述转动叉2的转轴21顶在所述第二限位面53,以此限位,从而限制叉口30的移动距离,避免叉口30向右移动的距离过长,损坏凸块40和接口设备。
松开拉环1后,弹性件5恢复形变,推动解锁体3的挡面33向左移动,解锁体3回到左边的极限位置,也就是初始的上锁状态,完成复位。
在本实施例中,解锁结构采用平拉平推的顶杠杆原理,拉动拉环1,带动转动叉2下端左移,上端右移,推动解锁体3右移,解锁体3前端的叉口30挑开接口设备的弹片,使得光模块底座4上的凸块40从接口设备的锁孔15中脱出,完成解锁动作,光模块可以从接口设备中拔出。松开拉环1,借助弹簧力推动解锁体3,解锁体3可以完成自动复位,光模块的解锁结构回到初始状态。

在本实施例中,拉环1带动转动叉2沿着底座4转动,转动叉2在转动的过程中,推动解锁体3向靠近凸块40的方向移动,直至叉口30抵开接口设备的锁孔15,进而将凸块40与接口设备的锁孔15解耦合,实现解锁功能。通过长拉环结构解决了光模块在密集型机柜上插拔困难的问题,推挤式的解锁结构最大程度上保证了光模块内部的空间,且在解锁过程中,不会破坏光模块自身的结构,提高了光模块的可靠性,增加了光模块的使用寿命;解决了光模块在密集型机柜上插拔困难,解锁过程中容易对光模块造成破坏、解锁结构占用空间大的问题。
