Abstract

Disclosed are an optical module unlocking device and an optical module. For the optical module unlocking device, a boss is arranged on a metal front end of a pull ring. The boss abuts against the skewed slot of an upper cover. The metal front end located in the upper cover can slide relatively along the limiting post of the upper cover and at least one boss is driven to slide into the skewed slot of the upper cover and then hide into the bottom of the skewed slot or abut against a bevel edge of the at least one skewed slot and then bulge. After the at least one boss abuts against the bevel edge of the at least one skewed slot and then bulges, a shielding cage spring strip which is about to be cooperated with the boss is opened by being pushed upwards, and the optical module can be unlocked. The reliability of the optical module unlocking device is high and the unlocking motion of the optical module is simple. The optical module unlocking device of the present disclosure has the advantages of less component quantities, simple assembling, high assembling efficiency and low cost.
