Abstract:
1. A fiber optic connector structure comprising: a base extending along an axial direction and including: a holding face defined thereon, two contacting portions formed on two sides of the axial direction of the holding face, and at least one slot defined between the two contacting portions and extending along the axial direction, wherein a respective one of the at least one slot has an opening extending toward a radial direction and has a bottom portion opposite to the opening, wherein the opening is spaced in the radial direction from the two contacting portions and the bottom portion, wherein the slot has a slot width between the two contacting portions, wherein the bottom portion of the respective one of the at least one slot has at least one notch defined therein, wherein the notch has a notch width parallel to and less than the slot width, wherein a respective one of the at least one notch has a first inserting segment and a second inserting segment arranged on two ends thereof, wherein the first inserting segment is used to insert a fiber stub, wherein the fiber stub is further inserted into the respective one of the at least one notch, wherein the second inserting segment is used to insert a field fiber, wherein the field fiber is further inserted into the respective one of the at least one notch, and wherein the field fiber aligns and connects with the fiber stub; a covering member covered on the holding face of the base and including: two resilient extensions corresponding to the two contacting portions of the base, and a sliding block located intermediate the two resilient extensions, extending downwardly from the covering member, extending through the opening, and having a block width generally equal to and for sliding in the at least one slot in the axial direction, wherein the sliding block extends from the opening to the bottom portion, with the block width greater than the notch width; and a fitting sleeve fitted on the base and the covering member, and providing a force on the sliding block of the covering member so that the sliding block slides to the bottom portion of the respective one of the at least one slot along the radial direction, wherein the sliding block retains the fiber stub and the field fiber, and wherein the two resilient extensions force an elastic reaction to the two contacting portions of the base, thus contacting the two resilient extensions with the two contacting portions tightly.
