摘要： The present invention is generally directed to a quick connect optical fiber ferrule connector that can be installed in the field without the use of adhesive or epoxy. The connector includes a ferrule having a receiving end, a terminating end, and a tapered ferrule bore disposed therein. The tapered ferrule bore has a larger diameter toward the receiving end than toward the terminating end. Also included is a barrel having a barrel bore disposed therein. The barrel is arranged and configured to receive the receiving end of the ferrule such that the barrel bore and the tapered ferrule bore are axially aligned. An insert having a receiving end, a support end, and a bore disposed therethrough is positioned such that the receiving end of the insert is disposed within the barrel bore and the support end of the insert is disposed within the tapered ferrule bore. The support end is compressible and the insert is tapered such as to correspond with the tapered ferrule bore.

摘要翻译： 本发明一般涉及一种快速连接的光纤套圈连接器，其可以安装在现场而不使用粘合剂或环氧树脂。 连接器包括具有接收端，终止端和设置在其中的锥形套圈孔的套圈。 锥形套圈孔朝着接收端具有比朝向终端的更大的直径。 还包括具有设置在其中的筒孔的桶。 筒被布置和构造成容纳套圈的接收端，使得筒孔和锥形套圈孔轴向对准。 具有接收端，支撑端和穿过其设置的孔的插入件被定位成使得插入件的接收端设置在筒孔内，并且插入件的支撑端设置在锥形套圈孔内。 支撑端是可压缩的并且插入件是锥形的，以便与锥形套圈孔对应。
