具体实施方式
下面结合本申请实施例中的附图对本申请实施例进行描述。
请参阅图1,图1是本申请实施例提供的一种光纤到户网络100的结构示意图。
光纤到户(fiber to the home,FTTH)网络100包括分纤盒10、预制光纤20及用户终端盒30。分纤盒10和用户终端盒30都为光纤盒。分纤盒10(又称光缆分纤箱)是用于室外、楼道内或室内连接主干光缆与配线光缆(后文简称光缆)的接口设备。分纤盒10包括盒体101及安装于盒体101的适配器1(又称光纤适配器)。分纤盒10能够通过多个预制光纤20连接至多个用户终端盒30。图1所示实施例示意出一根预制光纤20和一个用户终端盒30。预制光纤20包括光缆2及光纤连接头3。每根光缆2的两端均安装有一个光纤连接头3。用户终端盒30包括盒体301及安装于盒体301的适配器1。预制光纤20的两个光纤连接头3分别连接至分纤盒10的适配器1和用户终端盒30的适配器1。
在本实施例中,由于光纤到户网络100采用预制光纤20,预制光纤20在布放线缆的过程中,只需将预制光纤20的两个光纤连接头3分别***分纤盒10的适配器1和用户终端盒30的适配器1,即可完成安装过程,因此极大地降低了安装难度,缩减了现场施工的时间。
请一并参阅图1和图2,图2是本申请实施例提供的一种光纤连接组件200的结构示意图。
光纤连接组件200包括光纤连接头3和适配器1。光纤连接头3与适配器1之间的连接为可拆卸连接。光纤连接组件200可以应用于光纤到户网络100中分纤盒10与预制光纤20的连接处,也可以应用于光纤到户网络100中预制光纤20与用户终端盒30的连接处。光纤连接头3的一端具有连接件31,光缆2自光纤连接头3的另一端***光纤连接头3并连接至连接件31。连接件31***适配器1时,光信号能够在适配器1与光缆2之间传输。
请一并参阅图2和图3,图3是图2所示适配器1的分解结构示意图。
适配器1包括锁紧螺母11、连接绳12、陶瓷套管13、适配器本体14、密封圈15及防护帽16。
适配器本体14包括输入端141和远离输入端141的输出端142。适配器本体14具有自输入端141延伸至输出端142的贯通孔143。光信号能够通过贯通孔143,从适配器本体14的输入端141输入、从输出端142输出。适配器1与光纤连接头3相连接时,贯通孔143收容光纤连接头3的部分连接件31。贯通孔143的形状与其收容的连接件31的形状相适配。贯通孔143的数量可以为一个或多个。贯通孔143的数量为多个时,多个贯通孔143彼此间隔设置。各贯通孔143中均设置有一个陶瓷套管13。陶瓷套管13用于与光纤连接头3的部分连接件31对接,以传输光信号。
可选的,输入端141的外侧壁1411上设有锁紧槽1412。锁紧槽1412沿输入端141的周向延伸第二角度,且第二角度小于或等于90°。输入端141的外侧壁1411为圆柱面。输入端141的周向为垂直且环绕输入端141的外侧壁1411的中心轴线设置的方向。第二角度为锁紧槽1412的圆心角。第二角度可以为30°至90°的角度,例如30°、45°、60°、75°或90°等。锁紧槽1412包括依次连通的滑入区域1413、滑动区域1414及扣合区域1415。滑动区域1414和扣合区域1415沿输入端141的周向延伸。滑入区域1413连通滑动区域1414至输入端141的端面。扣合区域1415设有背向滑入区域1413的扣合面1416。例如,滑动区域1414向扣合区域1415的方向为滑入方向,则扣合面1416的朝向与滑入方 向相反。
进一步地,锁紧槽1412的数量可以为一个、两个或三个以上。本实施例中,以锁紧槽1412的数量是两个为例进行说明。两个锁紧槽1412相背设置。且两个锁紧槽1412呈中心对称分布。即,其中一个锁紧槽1412绕输入端141的外侧壁1411的中心轴线旋转180°后,与另一个锁紧槽1412重合。其中,锁紧槽1412的数量可以依据第二角度的大小进行设计,多个锁紧槽1412之间满足彼此间隔设计即可。例如,当第二角度小于60°时,锁紧槽1412的数量可以为三个。
可选的,适配器本体14还包括位于输入端141与输出端142之间的止位凸缘144。止位凸缘144朝向输入端141的一侧设有箭头对准标示1441。箭头对准标示1441用以指示其他部件与适配器本体14的连接状态和松开状态。
可选的,输出端142的外侧壁1421上设有螺纹连接部1422。锁紧螺母11螺连螺纹连接部1422。锁紧螺母11用于连接光纤盒的盒体(参阅图1中101或301)。其他实施例中,锁紧螺母11也可以为用于实现其他连接方式的连接部件,螺纹连接部1422为与连接部件对应的其他结构。其他连接方式包括但不限于卡扣连接、榫卯连接、过盈连接、弹性连接等连接方式。
请一并参阅图3和图4,图4是图3所示防护帽16的结构示意图。
可选的,连接绳12的一端121套设在适配器本体14的外侧,连接绳12的另一端122连接防护帽16。具体的,连接绳12的一端121套设在输出端142的外侧,且位于止位凸缘144与锁紧螺母11之间。防护帽16包括连接帽部分161和握持部分162。连接帽部分161的顶部开口。握持部分162位于连接帽部分161的底部。连接帽部分161与握持部分162之间设有连接凹槽163。连接凹槽163为连续的环形槽。连接绳12的远离适配器本体14的一端122位于连接凹槽163,以连接防护帽16。
可选的,防护帽16的一端内侧设有防护锁紧凸块164。防护帽16的一端能够套设在输入端141的外侧,且防护锁紧凸块164与锁紧槽1412相扣合。具体的,防护锁紧凸块164设于连接帽部分161的内侧。防护帽16连接适配器本体14时,连接帽部分161套设在输入端141的外侧,也即输入端141***连接帽部分161的内侧。防护锁紧凸块164自滑入区域1413滑入锁紧槽1412,且在防护帽16相对适配器本体14旋转时,经滑动区域1414滑动至扣合区域1415后,与扣合区域1415的扣合面1416相扣合。其中,防护锁紧凸块164也可设置有与扣合面1416相配合的扣合配合面,以增加防护锁紧凸块164与适配器本体14的扣合稳定性。
在本实施例中,防护帽16与适配器本体14采用旋转扣合锁紧的方式实现连接,通过对锁紧槽1412的结构设计,使得防护帽16相对适配器本体14旋转的角度小于或等于第二角度,第二角度小于或等于90°,因此防护帽16的安装及拆卸动作简单、用时短,并且防护帽16与适配器本体14之间的扣合连接稳定性高,不易松动,防护帽16能够有效实现防水、防尘等对适配器本体14的保护,有利于提高适配器1的可靠性。由于防护帽16通过连接绳12连接至适配器本体14,因此防护帽16不易脱离,使得适配器1的可靠性更高。
其中,连接帽部分161的外侧壁上可以设置箭头指示标识1612,用于指导用户的安装和拆卸动作。输入端141的外侧壁1411上设有用于指示***方向的箭头标识1417。该箭 头指示标识1612对准输入端141的外侧壁1411上的箭头标识1417时,防护帽16能够对位适配器本体14,从而快速安装至适配器本体14。该箭头指示标识1612与止位凸缘144的箭头对准标示1441相配合时,能够示意出防护帽16与适配器本体14的连接状态或松开状态。
可选的,输入端141的外侧壁1411上设有密封凹槽1418。密封凹槽1418为环形槽。密封凹槽1418位于锁紧槽1412的靠近输出端142的一侧。密封圈15安装于密封凹槽1418。防护帽16连接适配器本体14时,密封圈15被压紧在密封凹槽1418的槽壁与连接帽部分161的内侧壁之间。此时,密封圈15密封输入端141与连接帽部分161之间的缝隙,能够防止外界水汽、粉尘等进入贯通孔143,从而延长适配器1的使用寿命。
请一并参阅图2、图5以及图6,图5是本申请实施例提供的一种预制光纤20的结构示意图,图6是图5所示预制光纤20的分解示意图。图5所示预制光纤20的光纤连接头3与图2所示光纤连接头3相对应。其中,图5和图6中光纤连接头3的绳带37有部分结构未示出。
预制光纤20包括光缆2和光纤连接头3。光纤连接头3包括防尘帽32、第一密封圈33、连接件31、主轴34、弹性件35、第二密封圈36、绳带37、卡环38、灌胶套310、锁紧帽39、尾套320、金属压环330及密封套管340。
锁紧帽39、绳带37的一端371及尾套320在光纤连接头3的轴向(平行于图5中A-A线)上排布。锁紧帽39为中空柱体(也可称为套筒,即柱体具有自其一端贯穿至另一端的内侧通孔结构)。尾套320为中空柱体。锁紧帽39的内侧通孔395与尾套320的内侧通孔连通。连接件31部分位于锁紧帽39的内侧通孔395内,且连接件31部分相对锁紧帽39远离尾套320的端部凸出。预制光纤20的光缆2能够自尾套320远离锁紧帽39的一端,依次伸入尾套320的内侧通孔和锁紧帽39的内侧通孔395,并连接至连接件31。光纤连接头3的其他结构位于锁紧帽39的内侧通孔395和尾套320的内侧通孔中。
防尘帽32连接在绳带37的另一端372。绳带37可弯曲。如图5所示,光纤连接头3未与适配器1连接时,防尘帽32可安装于锁紧帽39远离尾套320的一端,以套设在连接件31外侧,从而实现防水、防尘及对连接件31的保护。如图2所示,当光纤连接头3待与适配器1连接时,令防尘帽32脱离锁紧帽39,以使连接件31暴露在外,以插接适配器1。但防尘帽32仍通过绳带37连接光纤连接头3的其他结构,从而避免防尘帽32丢失,防尘帽32能够在光纤连接头3从适配器1上拆卸下后,再次安装至锁紧帽39,以使光纤连接头3允许频繁插接和拆卸工作,光纤连接头3的可靠性更高。

在本实施例中,由于连接底座311可以同时安装有一个或多个连接端子312,使得光纤连接头3可以适用于更多种不同需求的预制光纤20中,光纤连接头3的适用性较佳。连接底座311同时安装有多个连接端子312时,光纤连接头3的端口密度较高。
连接底座311包括固定部3111及位于固定部3111一侧的一个或多个安装部3112。固定部3111及一个或多个安装部3112一体成型。也即,连接底座311一体成型。安装部3112的数量与连接端子312对的数量相同。安装部3112的数量为多个时,多个安装部3112位于固定部3111的同一侧。一个或多个安装部3112一一对应地部分***一个或多个连接端子312中。此时,一个或多个连接端子312通过插接方式与连接底座311相固定。
在本实施例中,光纤连接头3通过安装部3112***连接端子312的方式,实现连接端子312与连接底座311的固定,使得连接底座311可以为一体成型的结构,以降低连接底座311的制作成本和制作难度。并且,连接端子312与连接底座311通过插接的方式实现 连接的组装过程也更为便捷、组装难度更小。
可选的,固定部3111内侧形成连通结构3113。每个安装部3112的内侧均形成通孔3114。如图10所示,连通结构3113包括一个入口及连通该入口的两个出口。两个安装部3112的通孔3114分别连通至两个出口。此时,光缆2的缆线21(参阅图6)可以经固定部3111的连通结构3113伸入安装部3112的通孔3114。
可选的,固定部3111具有朝向一个或多个安装部3112的定位平面31112。连接件31的连接底座311安装至主轴34(参阅图7)时,主轴34的首端341的两个凸耳345上的两个限位块3451扣合在定位平面31112上,以使连接件31相对主轴34固定,防止连接件31脱离主轴34。
可选的,固定部3111的外侧壁上形成插接块3115。固定部3111还具有背向一个或多个安装部3112的限位平面3116。限位平面3116为固定部3111的外侧壁的一部分。固定部3111的外周侧还具有第二定位孔31114。固定部3111具有朝向一个或多个安装部3112的固定端面31113。一个或多个安装部3112自固定端面31113向远离固定部3111的方向延伸。

在本实施例中,连接端子312与连接底座311通过限位孔3123与限位凸块3119之间的卡扣连接实现彼此固定,因此所述连接端子312与所述连接底座311之间能够实现插接固定,两者之间的连接方式容易实现,且稳定性好。
防护壳3121还设有位于两个限位孔3123之间的定位插槽3124。两个限位孔3123及定位插槽3124分别位于防护壳3121的三个侧壁上。定位插槽3124延伸至防护壳3121朝向固定部3111的底端面。定位插槽3124用于收容定位块31110。在防护壳3121与安装部3112的插接过程中,通过定位块31110与定位插槽3124的配合,能够实现防护壳3121与安装部3112的定位,使得防护壳3121与安装部3112的插接动作更为顺畅。
可选的,防护壳3121的内侧表面包括朝向固定部3111的第一定位面3125。内侧表面为防护壳3121的内侧通孔的孔壁。第一定位面3125朝向防护壳3121的底端面。插芯3122为中空的柱体结构。插芯3122具有靠近固定部3111的底部和远离固定部3111的顶部。插 芯3122的外侧壁包括背向固定部3111的第二定位面3126。第二定位面3126朝向插芯3122的顶部。插芯3122的外侧壁还包括朝向固定部3111的抵持面3127。抵持面3127与第二定位面3126相背设置。
连接弹性件313被压缩在插芯3122与安装部3112之间,连接弹性件313的弹性力将第二定位面3126压紧在第一定位面3125上。具体的,连接弹性件313的一端位于插芯3122与防护壳3121体之间且抵持插芯3122的抵持面3127。连接弹性件313的另一端位于安装部3112的内侧且抵持安装部3112的抵持面31111。此时,插芯3122相对防护壳3121固定,插芯3122不易晃动,有利于保证光纤连接头3连接适配器1时的连接可靠性。
可选的,防护壳3121远离连接底座311的顶端面3128相对插芯3122远离连接底座311的顶端面3129凸出。此时,防护壳3121的顶端面3128能够对插芯3122起到保护作用。光纤连接头3连接适配器1时,防护壳3121的顶端面3128先于插芯3122***适配器1,从而避免安装人员在盲插环境下因动作不准确而损伤插芯3122,降低了光纤连接头3的插装要求,也提高了光纤连接头3的使用寿命。
本实施例中,防护壳3121的顶部设有一个或多个防护凸块31210。一个或多个防护凸块31210的远离底座的端面为防护壳3121的顶端面3128。例如,防护壳3121的顶部还设有相对设置的两个防护凸块31210。两个防护凸块31210分别位于防护壳3121的内侧通孔的两侧。两个防护凸块31210分别连接防护壳3121的两个相背的侧壁。

本实施例中,连接部392的内径大于密封部391的内径。密封部391的内径大于限位部393的内径。锁紧帽39的内侧通孔395为变径孔。在其他实施例中,锁紧帽39的内侧通孔395也可以为其他形状的通孔。
本实施例中,密封部391的外周直径D1小于连接部392的外周直径D2。其中,限位部393的外周直径D3也可以小于密封部391的外周直径D1。即,连接部392的外周直径D2、密封部391的外周直径D1及限位部393的外周直径D3依次减小。锁紧帽39外周面呈阶梯结构,以满足锁紧帽39的容纳需求(锁紧帽39内部需容纳光纤连接头3的多数部件),且尽可能地减小锁紧帽39的体积,使得光纤连接头3更为小型化。
可选的,连接部392的内侧设有锁紧凸块394。锁紧凸块394位于锁紧帽39的内侧通孔395的孔壁上。本实施例中,锁紧凸块394的数量为两个。两个锁紧凸块394相对设置。其他实施例中,锁紧凸块394的数量也可以为一个或三个以上。
请一并参阅图2、图3以及图13,锁紧凸块394用于在锁紧帽39相对适配器1旋转第一角度时,与适配器1的锁紧槽1412相扣合。第一角度小于或等于90°。具体的,当光纤连接头3连接适配器1时,连接件31部分***适配器本体14的贯通孔143,连接部392部分收容适配器本体14的输入端141,锁紧凸块394位于锁紧槽1412中,且锁紧凸块394在锁紧帽39相对本体适配器本体14转动第一角度后,与锁紧槽1412相扣合,第一角度小于或等于第二角度。锁紧凸块394自滑入区域1413滑入锁紧槽1412,且在锁紧帽39相对适配器本体14旋转时,经滑动区域1414滑动至扣合区域1415后,与扣合区域1415的扣合面1416相扣合。也即,适配器本体14的贯通孔143可用于在输入端141***光纤连接头3的锁紧帽39时,收容光纤连接头3的部分连接件31。适配器本体14的锁紧槽1412用于收容锁紧帽39内侧的锁紧凸块394且与锁紧凸块394相扣合。
在本实施例中,由于锁紧帽39相对适配器本体14旋转的第一角度受锁紧槽1412结构的限制,锁紧槽1412沿适配器本体14的输入端141的周向延伸第二角度,因此第一角度小于或等于第二角度。由于锁紧帽39与适配器本体14采用旋转扣合锁紧的方式实现连接,因此能够通过对锁紧槽1412的结构设计,设置或改变第一角度的大小,从而改变锁紧帽39连接适配器本体14时所需转动的角度。
在本实施例中,由于锁紧帽39与适配器本体14采用旋转扣合锁紧的方式连接,锁紧帽39相对适配器本体14旋转的角度小于或等于第二角度,第二角度小于或等于90度,因此锁紧帽39只需相对适配器本体14旋转一个小于四分之一圈的角度,即可完成光纤连接头3与适配器1的安装或拆卸,故而光纤连接组件200的安装及拆卸动作简单、用时短(大概为传统光纤连接组件的用时的五分之一、甚至更短),并且光纤连接头3与适配器1之间的扣合连接稳定性高,不易松动,光纤连接组件200的信号传输可靠性高。
进一步地,本实施例的光纤连接头3的连接端子312(参阅图9B)上不再设置传统的 弹性臂,光纤连接头3与适配器1之间的锁紧需求依靠旋转扣合锁紧结构实现,从而将传统的两步拆装过程(弹性臂拆装和防护罩拆装)缩减为一步拆装过程,进一步降低了光纤连接头3与适配器1的拆装难度和用时。并且,由于连接端子312不再设置弹性臂结构,因此连接端子312的体积缩小,从而能够在不牺牲光纤连接头3的体积的情况下,提升端口密度。
其中,锁紧凸块394也可设置有与扣合面1416相配合的扣合配合面,以增加锁紧凸块394与适配器本体14的扣合稳定性。可以理解的,锁紧凸块394的结构是与锁紧槽1412的结构相配合的,锁紧帽39与适配器本体14的旋转扣合锁紧的连接结构与适配器1的防护帽16与适配器本体14的旋转扣合锁紧的连接结构相同。
其中,连接部392的外侧壁3921上设有箭头指示标示3922。光纤连接头3连接适配器1时,该箭头指示标示3922对准输入端141的外侧壁1411上的箭头标识1417时,锁紧帽39能够对位适配器本体14,从而快速安装至适配器本体14。该箭头指示标示3922与适配器本体14的止位凸缘144的箭头对准标示1441相配合,能够示意出锁紧帽39与适配器本体14的连接状态或松开状态。
连接部392的外侧壁3921和密封部391的外侧壁3911上均设有浅沟槽。一种实施例中,连接部392的浅沟槽3923连通密封部391的浅沟槽3912,两者连续地沿锁紧帽39的轴向(也即光纤连接头3的轴向)延伸。其他实施例中,连接部392的浅沟槽3923和密封部391的浅沟槽3912也可以有其他形状和其他连接关系。限位部393的外侧壁包括有对称设置的多个削平平面3931。削平平面3931的数量为四个。相对的两个削平平面3931形成一组削平平面3931。各削平平面3931均设有浅沟槽3932。该浅沟槽3932可以沿垂直于轴向的方向延伸。此时,用户握持或操作锁紧帽39时的手感更佳,不易滑动。
请一并参阅图12和图14,可选的,密封部391具有朝向连接部392的止位面3913。止位面3913为锁紧帽39的内侧通孔395的孔壁的一部分。主轴34安装于锁紧帽39的内侧(也即***锁紧帽39的内侧通孔395)时,主轴34的首端341(参阅图7)上的限位凸点3412和限位凸沿3413抵持锁紧帽39的止位面3913,以实现主轴34与锁紧帽39之间的彼此定位。
可选的,请参阅图14,限位部393具有朝向密封部391的第二限位面3924。第二限位面3924可以为限位部393的连接密封部391的端面的一部分。第二限位面3924为锁紧帽39的内侧通孔395的孔壁的一部分。
请一并参阅图8、图12以及图14,光纤连接头3还包括弹性件35。弹性件35位于过渡段343与密封部391之间,且弹性件35的两端分别抵持第一限位面3431和第二限位面3924。
在本实施例中,通过设置弹性件35,使得第一限位面3431与第二限位面3924呈远离彼此的趋势,锁紧帽39具有向靠近主轴34的末端342移动的趋势,因此当锁紧帽39与适配器1(参阅图3)相连接时,锁紧凸块394能够稳定扣合适配器本体14的锁紧槽1412,连接件31与适配器本体14在光纤连接头3的轴向上彼此固定,使得锁紧帽39与适配器1的连接关系可靠,防震、防松的效果好。
请一并参阅图2、图12和图15,图15是图6所示防尘帽32的结构示意图。
可选的,光纤连接头3的绳带37的一端371套设在主轴34的外侧,绳带37的另一端372连接防尘帽32。具体的,防尘帽32包括插接部321和握持部322。插接部321的顶侧开口。握持部322连接于插接部321的底侧。插接部321与握持部322之间设有连接槽323。连接槽323为连续的环形槽。绳带37的远离主轴34的一端372位于连接槽323,以连接防尘帽32。
可选的,防尘帽32的一端设有防尘锁紧槽324。防尘帽32的一端能够伸入连接部392的内侧,且防尘锁紧槽324与锁紧凸块394相扣合。具体的,插接部321的外侧壁3211设有防尘锁紧槽324。防尘锁紧槽324沿插接部321的周向延伸第三角度。第三角度可以小于或等于90°。插接部321的外侧壁3211为圆柱面。插接部321的周向为垂直且环绕插接部321的外侧壁3211的中心轴线设置的方向。第三角度为防尘锁紧槽324的圆心角。第三角度可以为30°至90°的角度,例如30°、45°、60°、75°或90°等。防尘锁紧槽324包括依次连通的滑入区域3241、滑动区域3242及扣合区域3242。滑动区域3242和扣合区域3243沿插接部321的周向延伸。滑入区域3241连通滑动区域3242至插接部321的端面。扣合区域3243设有背向滑入区域3242的扣合面3244。例如,滑动区域3242向扣合区域3243的方向为滑入方向,则扣合面3244的朝向与滑入方向相反。
防尘帽32连接锁紧帽39时,防尘帽32的插接部321全部伸入或部分伸入锁紧帽39的连接部392的内侧。连接件31部分伸入插接部321的内侧。锁紧帽39的锁紧凸块394自滑入区域3241滑入防尘锁紧槽324,且在防尘帽32相对锁紧帽39转动(或锁紧帽39相对防尘帽32转动)时,经滑动区域3242滑动至扣合区域3243后与扣合区域3243的扣合面3244扣合。其中,锁紧帽39的锁紧凸块394也具有与扣合面3244相配合的扣合配合面,以增加锁紧凸块394与防尘锁紧帽39之间的扣合稳定性。
可以理解的,在本申请实施例中,光纤连接组件200的光纤连接头3的锁紧帽39与适配器1的适配器本体14通过旋转扣合锁紧结构实现连接,光纤连接头3的锁紧帽39与光纤连接头3的防尘帽32也通过旋转扣合锁紧结构实现连接,适配器1的防护帽16与适配器本体14也通过旋转扣合锁紧结构实现连接,因此适配器1的防护帽16的连接结构与光纤连接头3的锁紧帽39的连接结构相似,光纤连接头3的防尘帽32的连接结构与适配器1的适配器本体14的连接结构相似。在本实施例中,通过相同的旋转扣合锁紧结构,实现光纤连接头3与适配器1之间的连接、光纤连接头3内部部件之间的连接及适配器1内部部件之间的连接,使得光纤连接组件200的结构更为简化,安装动作难度更低。
一种实施例中,第三角度等于第二角度,以使防尘帽32与锁紧帽39的连接动作与适配器本体14与锁紧帽39的连接动作相同,从而提高用户的使用体验。
进一步地,防尘锁紧槽324的数量可以为一个、两个或三个以上。本实施例中,以防尘锁紧槽324的数量是两个为例进行说明。两个防尘锁紧槽324相背设置。且两个防尘锁紧槽324呈中心对称分布。即,其中一个防尘锁紧槽324绕插接部321的外侧壁3211的中心轴线旋转180°后,与另一个防尘锁紧槽324重合。其中,防尘锁紧槽324的数量可以依据第二角度的大小进行设计,多个防尘锁紧槽324之间满足彼此间隔设计即可。例如,当第二角度小于60°时,防尘锁紧槽324的数量可以为三个。
可选的,防尘帽32还包括位于插接部321与握持部322之间的中间部325。中间部325 的外侧壁3251设有箭头对准标示3252。箭头对准标示3252用以指示其他部件与防尘帽32的连接状态和松开状态。
