图3为根据本公开一些实施例提供的一种光模块的结构图,图4为根据本公开一些实施例提供的一种光模块的局部爆炸图。如图3和图4所示,光模块200包括壳体(shell)、设置于壳体内的电路板300、设置于电路板300上的光电芯片、透镜组件400及光纤阵列500。但本公开并不局限于此,在一些实施例中,设置于电路板300上的光电芯片包括光发射芯片和/或光接收芯片。
壳体包括上壳体201和下壳体202,上壳体201盖合在下壳体202上,以形成具有两个开口204和205的上述壳体;壳体的外轮廓一般呈现方形体。
在一些实施例中,下壳体202包括底板2021以及位于底板2021两侧、与底板2021垂直设置的两个下侧板2022;上壳体201包括盖板2011,盖板2011盖合在下壳体202的两个下侧板2022上,以形成上述壳体。

两个开口204和205的连线所在方向可以与光模块200的长度方向一致,也可以与光模块200的长度方向不一致。例如,开口204位于光模块200的端部(图3的右端),开口205也位于光模块200的端部(图3的左端)。或者,开口204位于光模块200的端部,而开口205则位于光模块200的侧部。开口204为电接口,电路板300的金手指301从电接口伸出,插入上位机的电连接器中;开口205为光口,被配置为接入光纤101,以使光纤101连接光模块200中的光纤阵列500。
采用上壳体201、下壳体202结合的装配方式,便于将电路板300、光电芯片、透镜组件400及光纤阵列500等部件安装到上述壳体中,上壳体201、下壳体202可以对这些部件形成封装保护。此外,在装配电路板300、光电芯片、透镜组件400及光纤阵列500等部件时,便于这些器件的定位部件、散热部件以及电磁屏蔽部件的部署,有利于自动化地实施生产。
在一些实施例中,上壳体201及下壳体202采用金属材料制成,利于实现电磁屏蔽以及散热。
在一些实施例中,光模块200还包括位于其壳体外部的解锁部件203。解锁部件203被配置为实现光模块200与上位机之间的固定连接,或解除光模块200与上位机之间的固定连接。
例如,解锁部件203位于下壳体202的两个下侧板2022的外侧,包括与上位机的笼子106匹配的卡合部件。当光模块200插入笼子106里时,由解锁部件203的卡合部件将光模块200固定在笼子106里;拉动解锁部件203时,解锁部件203的卡合部件随之移动,进而改变卡合部件与上位机的连接关系,以解除光模块200与上位机的卡合固定连接,从而可以将光模块200从笼子106里抽出。
电路板300包括电路走线、电子元件及芯片等,通过电路走线将电子元件和芯片按照电路设计连接在一起,以实现供电、电信号传输及接地等功能。电子元件例如可以包括电容、电阻、三极管、金属氧化物半导体场效应管(Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor,MOSFET)。芯片例如可以包括微控制单元(Microcontroller Unit, MCU)、激光驱动芯片、跨阻放大器(Transimpedance Amplifier,TIA)、限幅放大器(Limiting Amplifier,LA)、时钟数据恢复芯片(Clock and Data Recovery,CDR)、电源管理芯片、数字信号处理(Digital Signal Processing,DSP)芯片。
电路板300一般为硬性电路板,硬性电路板由于其相对坚硬的材质,还可以实现承载作用,如硬性电路板可以平稳的承载上述电子元件和芯片;硬性电路板还便于插入上位机笼子中的电连接器中。
电路板300还包括形成在其端部表面的金手指301,金手指301由独立的多个引脚组成。电路板300插入笼子106中,由金手指301与笼子106内的电连接器导通。金手指301可以仅设置在电路板300一侧的表面(例如图4所示的上表面),也可以设置在电路板300上下两侧的表面,以提供更多的引脚。金手指301被配置为与上位机建立电连接,以实现供电、接地、I2C信号传递、数据信号传递等。
当然,部分光模块中也会使用柔性电路板,柔性电路板一般与硬性电路板配合使用,以作为硬性电路板的补充。
在一些实施例中,透镜组件400设置在电路板300上,采用罩扣式的方式罩设在光电芯片的上方,其中,光电芯片主要指光发射芯片、驱动芯片、光接收芯片、跨阻放大芯片、限幅放大芯片等与光电转换功能相关的芯片。透镜组件400与电路板300形成包裹光发射芯片、光接收芯片等光电芯片的腔体,透镜组件400与电路板300一起形成了封装光电芯片的结构。
光发射芯片设置在电路板300的表面上,光发射芯片发出的光垂直于电路板300;光接收芯片设置在电路板300的表面上,光接收芯片的光接收方向垂直于电路板300。光发射芯片发出的光经透镜组件400反射后进入水平设置的光纤阵列500中,以及,来自水平设置的光纤阵列500的光经透镜组件400反射后进入光接收芯片中,透镜组件在光发射芯片、光接收芯片及光纤阵列之间建立了光连接。
透镜组件不仅起到密封光电芯片的作用,同时也建立了光电芯片与光纤阵列之间的光连接。透镜组件400可以采用聚合物材料经注塑工艺一体成型制成。在一些实施例中,该透镜组件400的制成材料包括聚醚酰亚胺(Polyetherimide,PEI)塑料(Ultem系列)等透光性好的材料。
由于透镜组件400中的所有光束传播元件均采用相同的聚合物材料单片形成,从而可以大大减少成型模具,降低了制造成本和复杂度。本公开一些实施例中,将透镜组件400罩扣在电路板300上光电芯片的上方后,只需调节出射光束、入射光束以及光纤阵列500的位置,安装调试简单。
光纤阵列500与透镜组件400之间具有良好的光耦合结构设计,来自透镜组件400的多路汇聚光入射到光纤阵列500的多路光纤中,利用透镜组件400的光学结构实现了光纤阵列500与光发射芯片的光连接。将来自光纤阵列500的多路光入射到透镜组件400中,利用透镜组件400的光学结构实现了光纤阵列500与光接收芯片的光连接。
光纤阵列500与透镜组件400之间具有良好的固定结构设计,可以实现光纤阵列500与透镜组件400之间的相对固定;透镜组件400与电路板300之间具有良好的固定结构设计,可以实现透镜组件400与电路板300之间的相对固定;从而形成了透镜组件400与电路板300的相对固定、光纤阵列500与透镜组件400的相对固定。
在一些实施例中,为了光模块与外部的光纤连接器实现连接,往往需要在上、下壳体及光接口处设置匹配的结构,如光纤适配器600。光纤适配器600位于上、下壳体形成的光接口处,是光模块与光模块外部的光纤连接器(光纤)实现连接的连接件。
光纤适配器一般具有标准形状及尺寸,便于外部光纤连接器/插头插入,其内部具有多个光纤对接口,包括传出光信号的接口及传入光信号的接口。常见的光纤连接器/插头为MT型光纤连接器(如光纤跳线连接器(Multi-fiber Push On,MPO))。将光纤连接器/插头插入光模块的光纤适配器,使得光模块内部的光信号可以传入外部光纤中,以及光模块外部的光信号可以传入光模块内部。
在一些实施例中,光纤阵列500的一端与透镜组件400之间建立光连接,另一端与光纤适配器600建立光连接。光纤阵列500由多根(两根及以上)光纤组成,其将来自透镜组件400的光传输至光纤适配器600,实现了对外发出光信号;以及,光纤阵列500将来自光纤适配器600的光传输至透镜组件400,实现了从光模块外部接收光信号。

第一凹槽20111与第二凹槽20211形成的置物腔内放置有导电件700,该导电件700包括第一弹性导电件701和第二弹性导电件702,该第一弹性导电件701放置于第一凹槽20111内,该第二弹性导电件702放置于第二凹槽20211。
图9为根据本公开一些实施例提供的一种光模块中第一弹性导电件、第二弹性导电件、导电胶条和光纤带的结构图一。图10为根据本公开一些实施例提供的一种光模块中第一弹性导电件、第二弹性导电件、导电胶条和光纤带的结构图二。图11为根据本公开一些实施例提供的一种光模块中第一弹性导电件、第二弹性导电件、导电胶条和光纤带的结构图三。如图9、图10及图11所示,第一弹性导电件701与第二弹性导电件702接触连接,光纤阵列500位于第一弹性导电件701与第二弹性导电件702的连接处,且第一弹性导电件701与第二弹性导电件702和光纤阵列500无缝隙连接,以使第一弹性导电件701、第二弹性导电件702与光纤阵列500之间没有间隙。
由于第一弹性导电件701与第二弹性导电件702具有弹性,第一弹性导电件701与第二弹性导电件702连接时,可将第一弹性导电件701与第二弹性导电件702挤压连接,使得第一弹性导电件701与第二弹性导电件702充分接触,以保证第一弹性导电件701与第二弹性导电件702的无缝隙连接。
当第一弹性导电件701与第二弹性导电件702挤压连接时,光纤阵列500与第一弹性导电件701、第二弹性导电件702挤压接触,使得第一弹性导电件701、第二弹性导电件702与光纤阵列500充分接触,以保证第一弹性导电件701、第二弹性导电件702与光纤阵列500的无缝隙连接。
第一弹性导电件701与第二弹性导电件702的弹性不仅可以使得第一弹性导电件701、第二弹性导电件702与光纤阵列500充分接触,还可以保护光纤阵列500。
参见图6所示,在一些实施例中,第一凹槽20111由上壳体201的盖板2011向上壳体201的内侧凹陷形成,第一凹槽20111具有底面、第一侧面与第二侧面,第一侧面、底面和第二侧面依次连接,且第一侧面与第二侧面相对设置。第一凹槽20111的底面与第一弹性导电件701的底面对应设置,第一凹槽20111的第一侧面与第一弹性导电件701的第一侧面对应设置,第一凹槽20111的第二侧面与第一弹性导电件701的第二侧面对应设置。
将第一弹性导电件701放置于第一凹槽20111内时,第一凹槽20111的底面与第一弹性导电件701的底面无缝隙连接,第一凹槽20111的第一侧面与第一弹性导电件701的第一侧面无缝隙连接,第一凹槽20111的第二侧面与第一弹性导电件701的第二侧面无缝隙连接,使得第一弹性导电件701与第一凹槽20111无缝隙连接,以保证第一弹性导电件701与上壳体201的充分接触。
参见图5所示,在一些实施例中,第二凹槽20211由下壳体202的底板2021向下壳体202的内侧凹陷形成,第二凹槽20211具有底面、第一侧面与第二侧面,第一侧面、底面和第二侧面依次连接,且第一侧面与第二侧面相对设置。第二凹槽20211的底面与第二弹性导电件702的底面对应设置,第二凹槽20211的第一侧面与第二弹性导电件702的第一侧面对应设置,第二凹槽20211的第二侧面与第二弹性导电件702的第二侧面对应设置。
将第二弹性导电件702放置于第二凹槽20211内时,第二凹槽20211的底面与第二弹性导电件702的底面无缝隙连接,第二凹槽20211的第一侧面与第二弹性导电件702的第一侧面无缝隙连接,第二凹槽20211的第二侧面与第二弹性导电件702的第二侧面无缝隙连接,使得第二弹性导电件702与第二凹槽20211无缝隙连接,,以保证第二弹性导电件702与下壳体202的充分接触。
参见图5所示,在一些实施例中,上壳体201与下壳体202形成的壳体内形成有两个第三凹槽,该第三凹槽用于放置导电胶条800。该第三凹槽可设置于上壳体201上,且两个第三凹槽位于第一凹槽20111的两侧;或者,该第三凹槽设置于下壳体202上,且两个第三凹槽位于第二凹槽20211的两侧。
当第三凹槽位于第一凹槽20111的两侧时,第三凹槽位于上壳体201的盖板2011上,第三凹槽与第一凹槽20111连通,第三凹槽与第二凹槽20211不连通。
参见图5所示,当第三凹槽20212位于第二凹槽20211的两侧时,第三凹槽20212位于下壳体202的底板2021上,第三凹槽20212与第二凹槽20211连通,第三凹槽20212与第一凹槽20111不连通。
在一些实施例中,当第三凹槽20212位于第二凹槽20211的两侧时,第三凹槽20212由第二凹槽20211的侧壁向下壳体202的下侧板2022方向延伸,该第三凹槽20212内放置有导电胶条800。导电胶条800可使上壳体201与下壳体202除第一凹槽20111与第二凹槽20211之外的区域充分接触。
由于导电胶条800是由导电胶直接点涂在第三凹槽20212上固化后形成,导电胶的点涂存在一定的操作误差,可能会造成导电胶条800与第二凹槽20211内的第二弹 性导电件702不连接,使得第一弹性导电件701与第二弹性导电件702之间存在间隙,导致上壳体201与下壳体202无法充分接触,进而影响电磁屏蔽。
在一些实施例中,为了使上壳体201与下壳体202充分接触,导电胶条800放置于第三凹槽内,与第三凹槽不连通的第一凹槽或者第二凹槽内的弹性导电件的表面与导电胶条800连接,以通过导电胶条800填充上壳体201与下壳体202之间的间隙。
当第三凹槽位于第一凹槽20111的两侧时,第一凹槽20111的宽度尺寸小于第二凹槽20211的宽度尺寸,第一弹性导电件701的宽度尺寸小于第二弹性导电件702的宽度尺寸,第三凹槽内的导电胶条800与第二弹性导电件702的上表面连接。其中,第二弹性导电件702的上表面指的是第二弹性导电件702中与第一弹性导电件701连接区域外的其他区域的表面。
图12为根据本公开一些实施例提供的一种光模块中第一弹性导电件、第二弹性导电件和导电胶条的结构图,图13为根据本公开一些实施例提供的一种光模块中第二弹性导电件和导电胶条的结构图。如图8、图12及图13所示,当第三凹槽20212位于第二凹槽20211的两侧时,第二凹槽20211的宽度尺寸小于第一凹槽20111的宽度尺寸,第二弹性导电件702的宽度尺寸小于第一弹性导电件701的宽度尺寸,第三凹槽20212内的导电胶条800与第一弹性导电件701的下表面连接。其中,第一弹性导电件701的下表面指的是第一弹性导电件701中与第二弹性导电件702连接区域外的其他区域的下表面。
图14为根据本公开一些实施例提供的一种光模块的除去上壳体和下壳体后的结构图,图15为根据本公开一些实施例提供的一种光模块的除去上壳体和第一弹性导电件后的结构图,图16为根据本公开一些实施例提供的一种光模块的除去上壳体后的结构图。如图14、图15及图16所示,第一弹性导电件701或者第二弹性导电件702的表面与导电胶条800连接,通过导电胶条800填充上壳体201与下壳体202之间的间隙,使得上壳体201与下壳体202充分接触,从而使得上壳体201、第一弹性导电件701、第二弹性导电件702、导电胶条800与下壳体202形成一个封闭空腔,封闭空腔内部的电磁辐射无法渗透出来,有效降低了电磁辐射,从而起到了电磁屏蔽的作用。
参见图8所示,导电胶条800不仅与第一弹性导电件701的下表面连接,还与第二弹性导电件702的侧面连接,使得第一弹性导电件701与第二弹性导电件702的接触面挤压连接,上壳体201与下壳体202接触的其他区域通过导电胶条800连接,以使上壳体201与下壳体202进一步充分接触,从而使得上壳体201、第一弹性导电件701、第二弹性导电件702、导电胶条800与下壳体202形成一个封闭空腔,封闭空腔内部的电磁辐射无法渗透出来,有效降低了电磁辐射,从而起到了电磁屏蔽的作用。
在一些实施例中,为了保证上壳体201与下壳体202之间的密封性,上壳体201与下壳体202之间的间隙应位于预设范围内,以通过导电胶条800来填充上壳体201与下壳体202之间的间隙。
参见图5所示,在一些实施例中,第二凹槽20211的第一侧面与第一凹槽20111的第一侧面对应设置(沿上下方向设置),第二凹槽20211的第二侧面与第一凹槽20111的第二侧面对应设置(沿上下方向设置)。第二凹槽20211的第一侧面与第一凹槽20111的第一侧面之间的垂直距离(上下方向的距离)为0.5㎜~2㎜,第二凹槽20211的第 二侧面与第一凹槽20111的第二侧面之间的垂直距离(上下方向的距离)为0.5㎜~2㎜。
当第二凹槽20211的第一侧面与第一凹槽20111的第一侧面之间的垂直距离小于0.5㎜,且第二凹槽20211的第二侧面与第一凹槽20111的第二侧面之间的垂直距离小于0.5㎜时,上壳体201与下壳体202之间的间隙较小,导电胶条800可能无法与第一凹槽20111内的第一弹性导电件701连接,或者无法与第二凹槽20211内的第二弹性导电件702连接,使得上壳体201与下壳体202无法充分接触,进而影响电磁屏蔽效果。
当第二凹槽20211的第一侧面与第一凹槽20111的第一侧面之间的垂直距离大于2㎜,且第二凹槽20211的第二侧面与第一凹槽20111的第二侧面之间的垂直距离大于2㎜时,上壳体201与下壳体202之间的间隙较大,对于一些小尺寸的光模块来说不合适。因此,在一些实施例中,第二凹槽20211的第一侧面与第一凹槽20111的第一侧面之间的垂直距离为0.5㎜~2㎜,第二凹槽20211的第二侧面与第一凹槽20111的第二侧面之间的垂直距离为0.5㎜~2㎜。
在一些实施例中,第二凹槽20211的第一侧面与第一凹槽20111的第一侧面之间的垂直距离等于第二凹槽20211的第二侧面与第一凹槽20111的第二侧面之间的垂直距离。
在一些实施例中,光纤阵列500穿过导电件700的第一弹性导电件701与第二弹性导电件702的连接处,既可以通过第一弹性导电件701与第二弹性导电件702支撑光纤阵列500,又可以通过第一弹性导电件701与第二弹性导电件702填充上壳体201与下壳体202之间的间隙。导电件700可以为导电垫片,也可以为导电泡棉。
在一些实施例中,导电件700可以为导电垫片。示例性地,第一弹性导电件701为第一弹性导电垫片,第二弹性导电件702为第二弹性导电垫片。

本公开提供了一种光模块,包括上壳体和下壳体,上壳体内形成有第一凹槽,下壳体内形成有第二凹槽,将上壳体盖合于下壳体上时,第一凹槽与第二凹槽形成一个置物腔。第一凹槽内放置有第一弹性导电件,第一弹性导电件与第一凹槽无缝隙连接,使得第一弹性导电件与上壳体充分接触。第二凹槽内放置有第二弹性导电件,第二弹性导电件与第二凹槽无缝隙连接,使得第二弹性导电件与下壳体充分接触。
将上壳体盖合于下壳体上时,第一弹性导电件与第二弹性导电件接触连接。光模块还包括光纤阵列,光纤阵列位于第一弹性导电件与第二弹性导电件的连接处,以使第一弹性导电件和第二弹性导电件均与光纤阵列无缝隙连接。
由于第一弹性导电件与第二弹性导电件具有弹性,第一弹性导电件与第二弹性导电件挤压连接时,第一弹性导电件与第二弹性导电件无缝隙连接,使得第一弹性导电件与第二弹性导电件充分接触。当光纤阵列穿过第一弹性导电件与第二弹性导电件的连接处时,第一弹性导电件和第二弹性导电件分别与光纤阵列无缝隙连接,使得第一弹性导电件、第二弹性导电件与光纤阵列充分接触。
下壳体与上壳体形成的壳体内形成有两个第三凹槽,两个第三凹槽与第一凹槽或 者第二凹槽连通,第三凹槽内放置有导电胶条,导电胶条可使上壳体与下壳体除了第一凹槽与第二凹槽之外的区域充分接触。
第三凹槽可以位于第一凹槽的两侧,也可以位于第二凹槽的两侧。当第三凹槽位于第一凹槽的两侧时,第一凹槽的宽度尺寸小于第二凹槽的宽度尺寸,第一弹性导电件的宽度尺寸小于第二弹性导电件的宽度尺寸,第二弹性导电件的上表面与导电胶条连接。当第三凹槽位于第二凹槽的两侧时,与第三凹槽连通的第二凹槽的宽度尺寸小于第一凹槽的宽度尺寸,第二弹性导电件的宽度尺寸小于第一弹性导电件的宽度尺寸,第一弹性导电件的下表面与导电胶条连接。
第一弹性导电件的下表面或者第二弹性导电件的上表面与导电胶条连接,使得上壳体与下壳体充分接触,从而形成一个封闭空腔,封闭空腔内部的电磁辐射无法渗透出来,有效降低了电磁辐射,从而起到了电磁屏蔽的作用。
本公开中,第三凹槽内的导电胶条使得上壳体与下壳体之间除第一凹槽和第二凹槽之外的区域充分接触,第一凹槽内的第一弹性导电件和第二凹槽内的第二弹性导电件充分接触,光纤阵列穿过第一弹性导电件与第二弹性导电件的连接处,从而使得上壳体、第一弹性导电件、第二弹性导电件、导电胶条与下壳体形成一个封闭空腔,有效降低了电磁辐射,从而起到了电磁屏蔽的作用。
最后应说明的是:以上实施例仅用以说明本公开的技术方案,而非对其限制;尽管参照前述实施例对本公开进行了详细的说明,本领域的普通技术人员应当理解:其依然可以对前述各实施例所记载的技术方案进行修改,或者对其中部分技术特征进行等同替换;而这些修改或者替换,并不使相应技术方案的本质脱离本公开各实施例技术方案的精神和范围。
