Referring to fig. 1-2, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of an optical fiber circuit board unit provided in the present invention. Fig. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the optical fiber circuit board unit in the embodiment of fig. 1. In this embodiment, a configuration in which the number of optical fiber assemblies is one will be described.
The optical fiber circuit board unit 10 of the present embodiment includes a base 11, an optical fiber assembly 12, and a protective member 13. The optical fiber assembly 12 is mounted on the base 11 and extends from the fiber outlet 111 of the base 11. The base 11 is attached to the protector 13 to fix the protector 13.
The protection member 13 is fixed on the base 11, the protection member 13 includes a protection region 131, and the optical fiber assembly 12 is located in the protection region 131 of the protection member 13, so that the optical fiber assembly 12 is protected by the protection region 131. Specifically, the protection member 13 extends in synchronization with the extension of the optical fiber assembly 12 to protect the optical fiber assembly 12 outside the fiber outlet 111 and inside the protection region 131 as a whole. The protection member 13 is located in the substrate 11 at a depth greater than 1 mm, for example: and may be 1 mm, 1.3 mm, 1.5 mm, 3 mm, 10 mm, 20 mm, etc., and the specific depth of the protection member 13 in the substrate 11 may be determined based on the length of the substrate 11 in practical application, and is not limited herein.
In a specific application scenario, the substrate 11 includes at least two base layers 112, and the at least two base layers 112 are disposed on two opposite sides of the optical fiber assembly 12 for fixing the optical fiber assembly 12. In a specific application scenario, the substrate 11 may include 4 substrates 112, and the 4 substrates 112 are disposed around the optical fiber assembly 12 to fix the optical fiber assembly 12.
In one particular application scenario, the fiber optic assembly 12 may include: at least one optical fiber 121. The arrangement mode between the at least one optical fiber 121 may be arranged side by side, or stacked and staggered, or stacked and arrayed or randomly, and the specific arrangement mode between the at least one optical fiber 121 may be set according to actual requirements, which is not limited herein. It will be appreciated that the optical fibers 121 included in the fiber optic assembly 12 may be arranged side-by-side in one layer or in multiple layers. The plurality of layers of the arrangement structures are stacked layer by layer, and the optical fibers 121 in each layer may be different in number and may not be overlapped in arrangement position.
In the present embodiment, the surface of a portion of the optical fiber 121 in the optical fiber assembly 12 is in contact with the protection member 13. The protection member 13 covers the optical fiber assembly 12 to protect the optical fibers 121 in the optical fiber assembly 12. The structure of the optical fiber assembly 12 in which the surface of a part of the optical fiber 121 contacts the protection member 13 is mainly applied to the optical fiber assembly in this embodiment. However, in other embodiments, when the number of the optical fibers 121 in the optical fiber assembly 12 is large, there may be a risk that the optical fibers 121 are too many and the arrangement order thereof is disordered or scattered when all the optical fibers 121 are disposed in the protection region 131, so that the optical fiber assembly 12 may be coated by the substrate 11, and then the protection member 13 is disposed on the optical fiber assembly 12 and the substrate 11 coating the same. At this time, the optical fiber assembly 12 is spaced apart from the protector 13. The specific position of the protection member 23 of the present invention can be determined based on the actual manufacturing method of the optical fiber circuit board unit 10, and is not limited herein.
With the above structure, the optical fiber circuit board unit 10 of the present embodiment is provided with the protection member 13 fixed on the base 11, and the optical fiber assembly 12 is located in the protection region 131 of the protection member 13. The optical fiber assembly 12 extending from the fiber outlet 111 is protected by the protection region 131 of the protection member 13. When the optical fiber assembly is impacted by external force, the problem of stress concentration of the optical fiber 121 in the optical fiber assembly 12 at the fiber outlet 111 is reduced due to the blocking or slowing effect of the protection area 131, so that the occurrence of breakage of the optical fiber 121 is reduced, the service life of the optical fiber 121 is prolonged, and the reliability of the optical fiber circuit board unit 10 is improved.
Referring to fig. 3-4, fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of another embodiment of the optical fiber circuit board unit provided in the present invention. Fig. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the optical fiber circuit board unit in the embodiment of fig. 3. The optical fiber board unit 20 of the present embodiment includes: a base 21, an optical fiber assembly 22, and a protective member 23. The base body 21 comprises a fiber outlet 211, the optical fiber assembly 22 is installed on the base body 21, and the base body 21 and the optical fiber assembly 22 are attached to each other. Specifically, the optical fiber assembly 22 is fixed in the base 21 and extends through the fiber outlet 211.
In the present embodiment, the optical fiber module 22 includes a plurality of optical fibers 221 arranged in a stacked manner, but other structures of the optical fiber module 22 are the same as those of the above-described embodiment. Specifically, the positions of the substrate 21, the protector 23 and the optical fiber 221, the fixing manner of the protector 23 and the substrate 21, and the depth range of the protector 23 in the substrate 21 in the present embodiment are the same as those in the above embodiments.
In the present embodiment, the sealant layer 222 is provided between the optical fibers 221 fixedly provided in the base body 21. In a specific application scenario, a glue layer 222 is disposed between each layer of the plurality of optical fibers 221 arranged in a stacked manner and between the optical fibers 221 of other adjacent layers, so that in the arrangement process of the optical fibers 221, after the optical fibers 221 of the lowest layer are arranged and fixed, the optical fibers 221 of the lowest layer are covered with one glue layer 222, which is beneficial to continuously covering and fixing the optical fibers 221 of the second layer on the optical fibers 221 of the lowest layer, thereby realizing the preparation of the plurality of optical fibers 221 arranged in a stacked manner layer by layer, that is, the optical fiber assembly 22. The glue layer 222 is not disposed between the optical fibers 221 of the optical fiber assembly 22 extending out of the fiber outlet 22, so as to improve the flexibility of the optical fibers 221. In a specific application scenario, each optical fiber 221 in the matrix 21 and the adjacent other optical fibers 221 may also be fixed by the glue layer 222, which is not limited herein.
In the present embodiment, further, the protection region 231 in the protection member 23 has a closed cross section, that is, the protection member 23 is disposed on the entire circumference of the optical fiber assembly 22 to protect at least one optical fiber 221 in the optical fiber assembly 22. The protective member 23 is fixed in the base 21 and entirely covers a portion of the at least one optical fiber 221 extending out of the base 21. And the protection member 23 also covers a portion of the at least one optical fiber 221 near the fiber outlet 211 and overlapping the base 21 to further protect the at least one optical fiber 221 from the outside. It should be noted that, when the protection member 23 is spaced apart from the optical fiber assembly 22 in other embodiments, the portion of the protection member 23 located inside the base 21 is spaced apart from the portion of the optical fiber assembly 22 located inside the base 21; and the portion of the protection member 23 extending out of the base 21 can be adjusted according to the length of the optical fiber assembly 22 extending out of the base 21. For example: when the length of the optical fiber assembly 22 extending out of the base 21 is longer, the protection member 23 covers the portion of the optical fiber assembly 22 extending out of the base 21, and the portion of the protection member 23 gradually departing from the fiber outlet 111 gradually approaches the optical fiber assembly 22 due to the fracture of the base 21, so as to finally contact the optical fiber assembly 22. When the optical fiber assembly 22 extends out of the base 21 for a short length, the protection member 23 can cover the portion of the optical fiber assembly 22 extending out of the base 21 and be spaced apart from the optical fiber assembly 22.
In a specific application scenario, the protection member 23 may include a hollow channel therethrough, and the protection region 231 is the hollow channel. The optical fiber assembly 22 is disposed in the hollow passage to be protected by a protection member 23. In a specific application scenario, the protection member 23 may be a tube sleeve structure, and the protection region 231 is a space in the tube sleeve structure, in which the optical fiber assembly 22 is disposed to protect at least one optical fiber 221 of the optical fiber assembly 22. In a specific application scenario, the protection member 23 may be a heat shrinkable tube with a closed cross section, the protection region 231 is a tube space of the heat shrinkable tube, and the optical fiber assembly 22 is disposed in the tube of the heat shrinkable tube to protect at least one optical fiber 221 of the optical fiber assembly 22 through the heat shrinkable tube. In a specific application scenario, the protection member 23 may also be a flexible material with a closed cross section, so as to cover the optical fiber assembly 22 with the flexible material, thereby protecting the at least one optical fiber 221, and the specific material of the protection member 23 is not limited herein.
Alternatively, a part of the surface of the optical fiber assembly 22 is in contact with the protection member 23, that is, the inner side of the protection member 23 covers and contacts the optical fiber 221 on the outer side of the optical fiber assembly 22, so as to protect the optical fiber assembly 22. However, in other embodiments, a glue layer may be disposed on the inner side of the protection member 23 close to the optical fiber assembly 22, so as to fix the protection member 23 and the optical fiber assembly 22 by the glue layer, thereby further enhancing the fixing protection of the at least one optical fiber 221. At this time, all the optical fibers 221 of the optical fiber assembly 22 are not in contact with the protector 23.
In a specific application scenario, the arrangement order among the at least one optical fiber 221 may be arranged based on the color spectrum or other properties of each optical fiber 221, or may be arranged randomly. In a specific application scenario, when the at least one optical fiber 221 needs to be arranged based on the color spectrum or other properties of each optical fiber 221, a glue layer 222 may be disposed between the at least one optical fiber 221 to fix the arrangement position between the at least one optical fiber 221, so as to facilitate the connection between the optical fiber 221 and the optical port. In other embodiments, no adhesive substance may be disposed between the at least one optical fiber 221, and the at least one optical fiber 221 may be movably disposed therebetween. When the optical fibers 221 are used, the arrangement sequence of the at least one optical fiber 221 can be adjusted according to actual requirements to adapt to different use scenes, so that the flexibility of the use of the at least one optical fiber 221 is improved.
In a specific application scenario, the material of the substrate 21 includes a flexible material and a rigid material. When the substrate 21 is made of a flexible material, the substrate 21 may be a cover film, and a glue layer (not shown) is disposed on a side of the cover film close to the at least one optical fiber 221 to be attached to the optical fiber assembly 22, so as to fix the optical fiber assembly 22. The cover film is also called a base film, plays a role of supporting the adhesive layer, and can be made of any material. In a specific application scenario, the base 21 may also be made of a material that has a certain viscosity at a normal temperature (20-25 degrees celsius) or a specific temperature and can be used to adhesively fix the optical fiber assembly 22, which is not limited herein.
When the substrate 21 is made of a rigid material, the substrate 21 may be a base layer of a printed circuit board, and the optical fiber assembly 22 is fixed through the rigid base layer. In a specific application scenario, the material of the substrate 21 may also be rigid-flexible, that is, the material of the substrate 21 may include: the base layer, the cover film and the adhesive layer of the printed circuit board are adapted to different application scenes.
With the above structure, the optical fiber circuit board unit 20 of the present embodiment has the following beneficial effects: the protection member 23 with a closed cross section protects the optical fiber assembly 22 in all directions to reduce and/or block all-directional stress of at least one optical fiber 221, thereby reducing the problem that stress concentration is easily generated on the fiber outlet 211 of at least one optical fiber 221 in the optical fiber assembly 22. The protection member 23 of the present embodiment also covers the position where the at least one optical fiber 221 extends to the base body 21, and the protection member 23 is disposed inside the base body 21 along with the at least one optical fiber 221, so as to further protect the at least one optical fiber 221 at the fiber outlet 211, so as to reduce the occurrence of breakage of the at least one optical fiber 221 caused by stress concentration of the at least one optical fiber 221 in the optical fiber assembly 22, thereby improving the service life of the optical fiber 221 and the quality and reliability of the optical fiber circuit board unit 20.
Referring to fig. 5-6, fig. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of another embodiment of the optical fiber circuit board unit provided in the present invention. Fig. 6 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the optical fiber circuit board unit in the embodiment of fig. 5. The optical fiber board unit 30 of the present embodiment includes: a substrate 31, an optical fiber assembly 32, and a protective member 33. The base 31 includes a fiber outlet 311, the optical fiber assembly 32 is mounted on the base 31, and the base 31 and the optical fiber assembly 32 are attached to each other. Specifically, the optical fiber assembly 32 is disposed in the base 31 and extends through the fiber outlet 311.
In this embodiment, the optical fiber assembly 32 includes at least one optical fiber 321 arranged in a stacked manner, and other structures of the optical fiber assembly 32 are the same as those of the above-described embodiment. Specifically, the positions of the substrate 31, the protector 33, and the optical fiber 321, the fixing manner of the protector 33 and the substrate 31, and the depth range of the protector 33 in the substrate 31 in the present embodiment are the same as those in the above embodiments.
In the present embodiment, the optical fiber 321 provided in the base 31 is fixed to the base 31. In a specific application scenario, the matrix 31 is disposed between each layer of the plurality of optical fibers 321 arranged in a stacked manner and between the optical fibers 321 of other adjacent layers, so that in the arrangement process of the optical fibers 321, after the optical fibers 321 of the lowest layer are arranged and fixed, the matrix 31 is covered on the optical fibers 321 of the lowest layer, which is beneficial to continuously covering and fixing the optical fibers 321 of the second layer on the optical fibers 321 of the lowest layer, thereby realizing the preparation of the plurality of optical fibers 321 arranged in a stacked manner, that is, the optical fiber assembly 32 layer by layer. The matrix 31 is not disposed between the optical fibers 321 of the optical fiber assembly 32 extending out of the fiber outlet 32, so as to improve the flexibility of the optical fibers 321. In a specific application scenario, each optical fiber 321 and the adjacent other optical fibers 321 in the matrix 31 may also be fixed by the matrix 31, which is not limited herein. In other embodiments, the matrix 31 between the optical fibers 321 may be replaced by a glue layer or other fixing material to realize the stacked arrangement of the optical fibers 221.
In this embodiment, further, the protection zone 331 has a non-closed cross-section. Specifically, the protection member 33 includes two plates disposed in parallel and opposite to each other, and disposed on opposite sides of the optical fiber assembly 32. The non-enclosed space formed between the two plates is the protection area to protect the optical fiber assembly 32. Although the protection region 331 is an unclosed space, when the stress concentration occurs in the optical fiber assembly 32 at the fiber outlet 311, the protection region 331 with an unclosed cross section can still provide a certain blocking or relieving effect, so as to reduce the problem of the stress concentration occurring in the optical fiber 321 in the optical fiber assembly 32 at the fiber outlet 311. It is understood that the two plate bodies may be disposed in a crossed or perpendicular manner, so long as the optical fiber assembly 32 is located in the protection area 331 formed by the two plate bodies, the optical fiber assembly 32 can be protected. Obviously, based on the above analysis, the protection member 33 may also comprise a single plate or a plurality of plates (more than two plates); specifically, a single plate is disposed on either side of the optical fiber assembly 32 to form a non-enclosed space for protecting the optical fiber assembly 32. When the protection member 33 is a plurality of plates, the plurality of plates are sequentially connected end to end, but not closed, and the space between the plurality of plates is a protection area; taking three plate bodies as an example for illustration, the three plate bodies are sequentially connected end to end and arranged on three adjacent sides of the optical fiber assembly 32 to form an unsealed space for protecting the optical fiber assembly 32.
In another embodiment, the protection member 33 includes a hollow passage and a notch communicating with the hollow passage, and the non-closed space formed by the hollow passage and the notch together constitutes the protection area 331 of the embodiment, and the notch penetrates the protection member 33 in the radial direction of the protection member 33. In this embodiment, the notch of the protection area 331 is a straight line, but in other embodiments, the notch of the protection area 331 may also be a curve or a broken line, which is not limited herein. That is, the notch may be an elongated opening penetrating through the protection member 33, and an axis of the notch is parallel to or intersects with an axis of the protection member 33; or the notch may be a spiral, curved or dogleg shaped opening around the wall of the protector 33.
The present embodiment protects at least one optical fiber 321 in the optical fiber assembly 32 by the protection member 33. Part of the structure of the protection member 33 is fixed in the base 31 through the fiber outlet 311 and covers the entire surface of the portion of the at least one optical fiber 321 extending out of the base 31. And the protection member 33 also covers a portion of the at least one optical fiber 321 near the fiber outlet 311 and overlapping the substrate 31, so that the at least one optical fiber 321 is further protected from the whole surface. The protection member 33 is disposed in the base 31 to a depth greater than 1 mm. For example: may be 1 mm, 1.3 mm, 1.5 mm, 3 mm, 10 mm, 20 mm, etc., and the specific depth of the protection member 33 disposed in the substrate 31 may be determined based on the length of the actual substrate 31, which is not limited herein.
In the present embodiment, the protection member 33 is spaced apart from the optical fiber assembly 32. The entire outer side of the optical fiber module 32 is covered with the base 31. The protection members 33 are disposed on opposite sides of the substrate 31 covering the optical fiber assembly 32 to form an unclosed space for protecting the optical fiber assembly 32. Specifically, the protection member 33 is disposed spaced apart from the entire outer side of the at least one optical fiber 321 to protect the at least one optical fiber 321.
