- the ends of the respective optical fibers to be fused must be aligned with a jig and positioned so that the lengths of the portions 100a and 103a from which the coating is peeled must be set to about 10 mm.
- the overlapping of the covering portion of each optical fiber and the protective sleeve 101 is about 10 mm. It was necessary to set the length.
- the length of the protective sleeve 101 is 40 mm or more.
- the length of the optical connector 110 is increased to L + 40 mm or more including the length L of the exposed covering portion of the short optical fiber 103 and the length of the protective sleeve 101, and it is difficult to secure a sufficient accommodation space. In some cases, it was difficult to incorporate it into a cabinet or the like. In order to prevent an increase in the length of the optical connector 110, it is conceivable to shorten the length of the protective sleeve 101. In this case, however, the fixing position of the protective sleeve 101 depends on the operator's skill difference or erroneous operation.
- the optical connector 110 when the connector is manufactured, when the periphery of the fusion splicing portion 105 is covered by heat shrinking the protective sleeve 101 made of a heat shrinkable material, air is trapped in the protective sleeve. In some cases, bubbles were generated and bending stress was generated in the optical fiber.
- An object of the present invention is to provide an optical connector that can improve the capacity to be accommodated in a small cabinet or the like and can avoid problems such as an increase in bending loss and breakage of an optical fiber.

It is preferable to be adhesively fixed to the insertion hole.
- the optical connector ferrule includes a ferrule main body, a diameter-enlarged portion that is coupled and integrated with the ferrule main body, and the protective sleeve is externally connected to one end of the diameter-enlarged portion. It is preferable that the short optical fiber has at least the coating portion removed from the tip portion from which the coating has been peeled off and the fusion splicing portion left in the coupling projection.

Since the air escape hole communicating with the inside is equipped, the air trapped through the air escape hole can be discharged to the outside. Therefore, bending stress is not generated in the optical fiber due to the remaining bubbles in the protective sleeve.

- a notch groove 7h used for preventing rotation of the ferrule main body and positioning during polishing is formed in the diameter-enlarging portion 7b on the opposite outer edge in the diameter direction.
- the optical connector ferrule 85 is assembled by inserting the short optical fiber 5 from the rear end side of the optical connector ferrule 85 and stripping the exposed coating 5a on the front end side to expose the glass fiber portion 5b to the optical fiber insertion hole 7d. Place it inside. At that time, as shown in FIG. 5, the tip of the coating 5a (the boundary between the coating 5a and the glass fiber portion 5b) is set so as to be located in the optical fiber guide 7g, and the adhesive 10 is used.

- the end surface of the short optical fiber 5 from which the coating 5a has been peeled is previously mirror-finished by cleaving by cutting the optical fiber by applying a bending stress or by polishing, thereby eliminating the need for on-site mirror finishing.
- the end face of the short optical fiber 5 is subjected to discharge treatment before the fusion splicing to drop the edge so that chipping from the edge caused by polishing can be prevented. Furthermore, since the short optical fiber 5 is transported to the site with the coating removed, it is preferable to use a carbon-coated fiber because strength reduction due to scratches and water absorption is suppressed. Moreover, it is preferable that the short optical fiber 5 is a fiber resistant to bending with a small MFD.
- the protective sleeve 87 includes a heat shrinkable tube 25, a mandrel 27 inserted through the heat shrinkable tube 25, and an adhesive tube 29 (see FIG. 7) through which an optical fiber is inserted.

- the outer periphery of the optical fiber core wire 3 is covered.
- the heat-shrinkable tube 25 When the heat-shrinkable tube 25 is heated to a predetermined temperature by a heater, the heat-shrinkable tube 25 is heat-shrinked and comes into close contact with the inserted mandrel 27.
- the heat shrinkable tube 25 is heat shrunk to bring the mandrel 27 into close contact with the sleeve coupling protrusion 7 c of the optical connector ferrule 85 and also into close contact with the outer periphery of the optical fiber core wire 3.
- the air escape hole 7f is provided in the enlarged diameter portion 7b of the optical connector ferrule 85 as described above. Thereby, the air remaining inside the sleeve can be released to the outside through the air escape hole 7f via the hole 7e of the sleeve coupling protrusion 7c and the concave portion of the enlarged diameter portion 7b. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, an air flow path is intentionally secured in the hole 7e of the sleeve coupling protrusion 7c without being injected with an adhesive. Therefore, in the sleeve coupling protrusion 7c, the short optical fiber 5 in the non-bonded state is left without being stripped in order to ensure strength.
- the reason why the adhesive is not injected into the hole 7e of the sleeve coupling protrusion 7c is due to the following reason. That is, when assembling the optical contactor ferrule 85, when the hole 7e of the sleeve coupling protrusion 7c is filled with an adhesive and the inserted short optical fiber 5 is held, the injection of the adhesive is not strictly controlled. As shown in FIG. 9, the uneven shrinkage of the surroundings of the fiber is caused by uneven injection of the adhesive. It falls to the inner wall side where much adhesive is contained in the inner space of 7e. As a result, the short optical fiber 5 may cause bending loss.
- the characteristic configuration of the present invention is that the connector ferrule is formed by the adhesive 10 in which the short optical fiber 5 is filled only in the optical fiber insertion hole 7d and the optical fiber guide portion 7g of the connector ferrule 85. It is in the point held at 85. Thereby, the short optical fiber 5 does not fall down due to the difference in the curing shrinkage force of the adhesive in the inner space of the hole 7e, and even if it falls down and comes into contact with the inner wall surface of the hole 7e, the coating 5a Strength is secured.
- the adhesive tube 29 is softened by heating when the heat-shrinkable tube 25 is thermally contracted, and becomes an adhesive that fills the gap 34 between the heat-shrinkable tube 25 and the mandrel 27.
- the protective sleeve 87 positions the heat shrink tube 25, the mandrel 27, and the adhesive tube 29 at one end so that the end of the mandrel 27 and the end of the adhesive tube 29 coincide. In this positioning state, it is fixed to the sleeve coupling protrusion 7c of the optical connector ferrule 85.

Abstract
Description
特許文献1に示された光コネクタ110は、予め光コネクタフェルール102に取り付けられた短尺光ファイバ103と、現地の光ファイバ心線100とが融着接続により接続され、その融着接続部105の周囲が保護スリーブ101で覆われて補強されている。
そして、コネクタハウジング121は、光コネクタフェルール102から保護スリーブ101の後方の光ファイバ心線100の一部までを内部に収容する構成となっている。
また、コネクタハウジング121は、光コネクタフェルール102の先端を突出させた状態に収容したプラグフレーム122と、光ファイバ心線100の端部を収容したブーツ123と、一端がプラグフレーム122に嵌合され一体化すると共に他端がブーツ123に嵌合され一体化する筒状のストップリング124とを備えている。プラグフレーム122内の光コネクタフェルール102は、圧縮コイルばね125により先端側に付勢されている。この圧縮コイルばね125は、コネクタ接続時に、光コネクタフェルール102の後退を許容し、当該光コネクタフェルール102と相手側光コネクタの光コネクタフェルールとの接触圧を規定範囲に保つ。
なお、光コネクタ110の長大化を阻止するために、保護スリーブ101の長さ寸法を短くすることも考えられるが、この場合、作業者の熟練差又は誤操作等で保護スリーブ101の固定位置が軸方向に位置ずれして、裸の光ファイバが露出してしまう虞があり、各光ファイバ心線の被覆部への重ね代をそれほど短縮することができない。
従って、保護スリーブ101の短縮等には効果が小さく、キャビネット等への収容が難しいという課題は残ったままであった。
従って、光コネクタのコンパクト化により、小型キャビネット等への収容性を高めることができる。
従って、保護スリーブ内の気泡の残存によって、光ファイバに曲げ応力を発生させることがない。
図1は本発明に係る光コネクタの一実施形態の外観斜視図、図2は図1に示した光コネクタの分解側面図、図3(a)は図1に示した光コネクタの縦断面図、図3(b)は補強チューブを装着した変形例の要部縦断面図、図4(a)は光コネクタフェルールの側面図、図4(b)は光コネクタフェルールを短尺光ファイバ側から見た正面図、図5は光コネクタフェルールの縦断面図である。
この実施形態の光コネクタは、光コード70を接続するコード型、光ファイバ心線3を接続する心線型の双方に適用することができる。心線型光コネクタは、後述するSCコネクタつまみの形状がやや異なる他はコード型光コネクタと略共通の部品が用いられる。以下の説明では主にコード型光コネクタ(単に「光コネクタ」とも称す)1について説明する。
なお、光コネクタフェルール85の先端面は予め鏡面研磨されていて、現地での研磨加工が不要になされている。
融着接続部13は、短尺光ファイバ5の端部の被覆5aを剥いだ部分5bと、光ファイバ心線3の端部の被覆3aを剥いだ部分3bとを付き合わせて、付き合わせたファイバ端面同士を融着させることにより形成される。
なお、被覆5aを剥いだ短尺光ファイバ5の端面は、予め、光ファイバに曲げ応力をかけて切断する劈開により、あるいは、研磨によって鏡面加工され、現地での鏡面加工を不要にしている。
熱収縮チューブ25を熱収縮させた時、軸線方向の両端(光コネクタフェルール85と光ファイバ心線3にそれぞれ密着する部位)が中央部より速く収縮すると、空気が保護スリーブ87内及びスリーブ結合突起7c内に閉じ込められて気泡が発生する。
なお、接着チューブ29は、熱収縮チューブ25を熱収縮させる際の加熱で軟化して、熱収縮チューブ25と心棒27との間の隙間34を埋める接着剤となる。
光コネクタフェルール85は、熱収縮チューブ25及び心棒27の端部が、接着によらず、圧入又は溶着されることにより、これらに固定され一体化されていても良い。
このように、熱収縮チューブ25を熱収縮させた時、熱収縮チューブ25の端部が、光ファイバ心線3の被覆3a及びスリーブ結合突起7cの上に2mm以上重なるように、各部品の寸法が設定されている。
このリアハウジング91は、保護スリーブ87の熱収縮処理後に、保護スリーブ87の上に移動して被せられ、先端側の係止爪91bをプラグフレーム83の係止穴83aに係合させることにより、プラグフレーム83に結合されて一体化される。
但し、樹脂の射出成形により、リアハウジング91と一体形成するようにしても良い。
なお、ブーツ95は、図3(b)に示すように、内壁端の後方に、光コード70に被せられる補強チューブ37が挿入され装着される構成であっても良い。
補強チューブ37は、先端に拡径した抜け止め部37aが設けられており、抜け止め部37aがブーツ95内の内壁端に引っかかることで、移動が規制される。補強チューブ37は適度な弾性を有したチューブで光コード70が急激に曲げられることを防止する。
既述したように本実施の形態による光コネクタ1は、心線型としても用いることができる。この場合、その部品構成は、SCコネクタつまみ81の形状が若干異なる点、抗張力繊維74、外被72を固定するためのかしめリング93が不要となる点のみで他は同一である。なお、図8中、37は光ファイバ心線3用の補強チューブを示す。
従って、光コネクタ1のコンパクト化により、小型の架空クロージャ等への収容性を高めることができる。
従って、コネクタ接続作業の際に、光コネクタフェルール85に取り付けられた短尺光ファイバ5に大きな曲げ荷重が作用することを防止して、光ファイバの曲げ損失の増加や破損等の問題を回避することもできる。
即ち、作業設備等を整え難い現地でも、簡単且つ確実に、保護スリーブ87により融着接続部13を保護することができる。
図10(a)~(e)は図2に示した光コネクタの組立手順を説明する工程図、図11(f)~(k)は図2に示した光コネクタの組立手順を説明する工程図、図12(l)~(q)は図2に示した光コネクタの組立手順を説明する工程図である。
光コネクタ1を組立てるには、先ず、図10(a)に示すように、現地の光コード70の端部に、ブーツ95、かしめリング93、リアハウジング91、フェルール押えばね89の順番に当該各部を挿入しておく。
