Optical fiber attachment device, and photoelectric conversion device using same
An optical fiber attachment device has a slide receptacle having a slide space, and a sliding member provided slidably in the slide space. The sliding member has an installation component where the core wire of an optical fiber is held by a fiber holder, a pressure contact part is provided to the slide face of the slide receptacle in the slide space, and a corresponding pressure contact part is provided to the slide face of the sliding member in the slide space, and when the sliding member has slid in the slide space, the pressing force of the pressure contact part propagates through the corresponding pressure contact part to the sliding member side, and part of the sliding member is pressed from the slide receptacle side toward the installation component on the sliding member side.
1. An optical fiber attachment device, comprising:
a slide receptacle having a slide space; and
a sliding member provided slidably in the slide space;
wherein the sliding member has an installation component where a core wire of an optical fiber is installed,
a pressure contact part is provided to a slide face of the slide receptacle in the slide space, and a corresponding pressure contact part is provided to a slide face of the sliding member in the slide space, wherein the corresponding pressure contact is on at least a portion of the slide face of the sliding member that is attached to the sliding member by a hinge and is folded over the installation component, and
when the sliding member has slid in the slide space, the pressing force of the pressure contact part propagates through the corresponding pressure contact part to the slide face of the sliding member, and part of the sliding member is pressed from the slide face of the slide receptacle onto the slide face of the sliding member toward the installation component.
2. The optical fiber attachment device according to claim 1 , wherein the pressure contact part is formed by utilizing a protruding component that protrudes from the slide face of the slide receptacle in the slide space toward the slide face of the sliding member, and the corresponding pressure contact part is formed by utilizing a recessed component that is recessed from the slide face of the slide receptacle in the slide space toward the slide face of the sliding member, or
the pressure contact part is formed by utilizing a recessed component that is recessed from the slide face of the sliding member in the slide space toward the slide face of the slide receptacle, and the corresponding pressure contact part is formed by utilizing a protruding component that protrudes from the slide face of the sliding member in the slide space toward the slide face of the slide receptacle.
3. The optical fiber attachment device according to claim 2 , wherein a sloped face is provided to the contact face of the protruding component and the recessed component of the protruding component and/or the recessed component in order to make said contact face more gentle.
