BAIL TYPE UNLOCKING DEVICE FOR OPTO-ELECTRONIC MODULE

摘要

The present invention discloses a bail type-unlocking device for an opto-electronic module, which pertains to an unlocking device for a hot pluggable type opto-electronic module in the optical communication field. The unlocking device includes: a bottom housing (1); an operating unit (3); a latching unit (4); an elastic element (5); and a briquetting (6); wherein: the latching unit (4) is movably engaged with the bottom housing (1); the elastic element (5) is provided between the latching unit (4) and the bottom housing (1), and the latching unit (4) can be movable relative to the bottom housing (1) under the elastic force of the elastic element (5); the operating unit (3) is configured to be engaged with the bottom housing (1), when an external force from an operator is applied to the operating unit (3), the operating unit (3) pivots around a pivot axis (3 a) thereof with respect to the bottom housing (1) to drive the latching unit (4) so that the latching unit (4) can be movable between a locked position and a unlocked position with respect to the bottom housing (1); and the briquetting (6) is fixed on the bottom housing (1) and engages with the operating unit (3), when the latching unit (4) is located at the unlocked position, the briquetting (6) restricts the pivot movement of the operating unit (3) around the pivot axis (3 a) with respect to the bottom housing (1). The present invention optimizes the structure thereof, simplifies the manufacturing difficulties of the components and increases the reliabilities of the components. In addition, the mounting and unlocking operations of the module completely conform with usual practices. Further, the bail can return to its start position automatically without manual resetting operation.
