Optical fiber connector

Abstract

An optical fiber connector used for clamping an optical fiber. The optical fiber includes a fiber core and a coating layer that covers the fiber core, and part of the coating layer is stripped from the fiber core to form coating layer strips. The optical fiber connector includes an optical fiber fixing unit, an optical fiber core insertion unit and a shell connecting the optical fiber fixing unit and the optical fiber core insertion unit. The optical fiber fixing unit includes a clamping member that fixedly holds the optical fiber and includes a first clamping part and a second clamping part. One of the first clamping part and the second clamping part includes at least one positioning column, and the other one is provided with at least one positioning hole corresponding to the positioning column. The positioning column is used for winding the coating layer strips thereon, the first clamping part and the second clamping part are mutually fastened to fix the optical fiber therebetween, and the positioning columns are inserted in the positioning holes.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of optical fiber communication, in particular to an optical fiber connector. Background technique [0002] In the field of optical fiber communication, optical fibers are connected to each other or to electronic terminals through optical fiber connectors, and the connection accuracy between optical fiber connectors and optical fibers will directly determine the transmission efficiency of optical signals. Existing optical fiber connectors generally include a fiber ferrule and a fiber clamping device. During assembly, the optical fiber is aligned with the fiber ferrule through the fiber clamping device and has an arch relative to the fiber ferrule, and then the fiber clamping device pulls the fiber back Back and make the optical fiber have a predetermined arch height. [0003] However, due to the limited clamping force of the existing optical fiber clamping device on the optical fiber, it is easy to make the optical fi...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, due to the limited clamping force of the existing optical fiber clamping device on the optical fiber, it is easy to make the optical fiber loose relative to the optical fiber clamping device during the retraction, which affects the accuracy of the fiber connection. In addition, due to the fiber clamping device and the fiber ferrule The strength of the connection between them is mainly controlled by the operator's personal experience. Therefore, during assembly, the arching height of the optical fiber is not easy to control, and it is easy to cause damage to the optical fiber due to excessive force of the operator.

In addition, the existing optical fiber connector assembly process is relatively complicated and difficult to disassemble
