Description

[0001] technical field [0002] The invention relates to an automatic switching and aligning optical fiber docking device and a docking method, belonging to the technical field of piezoelectric precision actuation. Background technique [0003] The inverse piezoelectric effect of piezoelectric ceramics can convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, and the micro-motion mechanism designed according to this effect has the characteristics of simple structure, high precision and fast response. [0004] There are currently two types of fiber optic connectors on the market: 1. Fixed-connection fiber optic connectors: This fiber optic connector is permanently connected and is generally used for the connection of two sections of optical fiber in optical fiber transmission lines. 2. Actively connected optical fiber connector: This optical fiber connector is detachably connected, and is usually connected between the optical fiber and the pigtail of the device or instrument with...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] First, the fiber optic connectors for fixed connection are one-to-one permanent connections. To realize the simultaneous pairing of multiple pairs of optical fibers, multiple optical fiber connections are required device, higher cost

And as long as one of the paired optical fibers is damaged, it must be fixed again, which is troublesome;

[0006]Second, although the optical fiber connector of the active connection can be disassembled, it cannot meet the situation of pairing multiple pairs of optical fibers at the same time, and it is only suitable for the connection between optical fibers and equipment or instruments. The connection between pigtails is difficult to achieve at the head and middle of the fiber;
