Abstract
A pluggable optical transceiver module set includes an optical signal male connector with an elastic flake with an opening thereon, and an optical signal female connector with a bump, a holding rod and a driven element. When the optical signal male connector is plugged into the optical signal female connector, the bump is fastened in the opening, and the optical signal male connector is disconnected from the optical signal female connector when the holding rod is moved to rotate the driven element to press the elastic flake and release the bump from the opening.
Claims13
A pluggable optical transceiver module set comprising:
- an optical signal female connector having an elastic flake with an opening thereon;
- and
- an optical signal male connector served to pluggably connect the optical signal female connector, comprising:
- a main body comprising a housing and an external case, wherein the housing has a bump at a first end thereof, and served to connect an optical cable set at a second end thereof, and the external case has two opposite recesses on two opposite sides thereof, and covers on the housing;
- a holding rod disposed in the main body at a first end thereof, and extending outwardly from the second end of the main body at a second end thereof;
- and
- a driven element disposed in the main body, and having a first end thereof adjacent to the first end of the holding rod, a second end thereof extending to the first end of the housing, and a first pivot portion positioned between the first end and the second end thereof, wherein the first pivot portion has two opposite pivots respectively set on two opposite sidewalls of the driven element, each of the pivots is placed in one of the recesses to be pivotally disposed on the main body for pivoting on the main body;
- wherein, when the first end of the main body is plugged into the optical signal female connector, the bump is fastened in the opening, and the second end of the driven element is adjacent to the elastic flake,
- when the holding rod is moved to rotate the driven element to press the elastic flake by the second end of the driven element, the bump is released from the opening.
An optical signal male connector served to pluggably connect an optical signal female connector, comprising:
- a main body comprising a housing and an external case, wherein the housing has a bump at a first end thereof, and served to connect an optical cable set at a second end thereof, and the external case has a holding space thereon and two opposite recesses on two opposite sides thereof, and the external case is covered on the housing to hide the holding space therein;
- a holding rod disposed in the main body at a first end thereof, and extending outwardly from the second end of the main body at a second end thereof;
- and
- a driven element disposed in the holding space, and having:
- a first end thereof adjacent to the first end of the holding rod;
- a second end thereof extending to the first end of the housing;
- and
- a first pivot portion positioned between the first end and the second end thereof, wherein the first pivot portion has two opposite pivots respectively set on two opposite sidewalls of the driven element, each of the pivots is placed in one of the recesses to be pivotally disposed on the main body for pivoting on the main body;
- wherein, when the first end of the main body is plugged into the optical signal female connector, the bump is fastened in an opening of an elastic flake of the optical signal female connector, and the second end of the driven element is adjacent the elastic flake,
- when the holding rod is moved to rotate the driven element to press the elastic flake by the second end of the driven element, the bump is released from the opening.
