Abstract

PURPOSE:To clean the optical connector end surface of a box-shaped unit from the front surface easily and securely by providing a pipe which can be rotated at the front side where it faces the optical connector on a guide plate in the same shape with a printed circuit board. CONSTITUTION:The pipe 15 is supported rotatably on the bearing frame 16 of the guide plate 10 in the same shape with the printed circuit board; one end surface of the pipe 15 faces the optical connector 14 and the other end is rotated from the front side. When the optical connector is cleaned, a cotton swab 17 is fitted atop of the pipe 15 and the guide plate 10 is inserted, and the pipe 15 is rotated with a handle 19 to clean ferrule end surfaces. Further, a gas spray 20 or suction pump 21 is fitted to a pipe 18 and foreign matter on the ferrule end surface is blown away or sucked to clean the end surface. Consequently, a box- shaped optical connector installed far inside is cleaned up from the front surface easily and securely.

事もある）必要がある等の問題があった。Prior Art and Problems Conventionally, optical connectors have been used to connect optical fibers. In this optical connector, the end faces of the optical fibers must be completely abutted to each other in order to reduce optical coupling loss. If a foreign object gets between the end faces of the optical fibers, it will not only cause optical coupling loss, but if it is made of hard material such as metal, it will scratch the end face of the optical fiber and cause defects that cannot be removed even by cleaning. . Therefore, it is necessary to clean the end of the optical fiber every time it is connected or disconnected. For this reason, optical connectors that can be attached and detached by hand are simply cleaned with a cotton swab or the like. However, a large number of printed circuit boards I as shown in Fig. 1! Since the optical connector 3 is located in a recessed place in devices such as Unit and To 2 mounted in a plug-in type, it is very difficult to clean the optical connector fixed to the pack panel 4. It was possible. In addition, there were other problems such as the need to remove other printed circuit boards (in some cases, this may be structurally impossible) in order to secure space for cleaning.
