Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of optical communication intelligent wiring, and in particular to a communication port resource pairing device and method. Background Art

[0002] Fiber optic cables are an important part of the main transmission links in the current era of network electronic information. In the face of the current power grid, telecommunications wiring and distribution maintenance, the complex fiber and line management will become the most important task. In the wiring construction and fault repair, if there is no technical solution that can realize convenient positioning and matching, it will face great difficulties in the maintenance construction and waste time and energy.

[0003] Due to the lack of effective intelligent management methods for the port resources of the ODF racks and optical cross-connect boxes on the optical distribution network, the existing paper label management methods make it easy for the corresponding link routing connection relationship, the pairing connection relationship between ports and jumpers, and the specific physical location information of the fiber core resources to be inconsistent with the actual situation in the background system.

[0004] In the related technologies, manufacturers have also proposed some intelligent management methods to address the defects of existing paper tag dumb resource management. The first method is to upgrade and transform passive facilities into active ones, such as deploying active monitoring equipment in ODF, optical cross-connection and other facilities in a hierarchical manner, and connecting each port of the monitoring equipment and the facility to the detection port of the terminal monitoring equipment one by one.

[0005] Real-time management of wiring resources is achieved by powering on the monitoring equipment. This method requires the redeployment of a large number of active devices and cables in the facility. The investment in the transformation of the entire network will be very large. At the same time, the intricate power communication cables increase the complexity of the wiring network within the equipment.

[0006] Another way is to install RFID tags on the fiber distribution frame, optical cross-connection port and fiber connector respectively, keep a pair of RFID tags of the communication port and fiber connector close to each other, and then read and identify the pair of tags at the same time through the RFID reader. At this time, the RFID reader is in the short-range reading mode to ensure that only the nearest pair of RFID tags is identified, and other tags around are not read.

[0007] In this way, the information of the RFID tags on the pair of communication ports and optical fiber connectors can be read, and the RFID tags installed on each set of communication ports and optical fiber connectors can be identified one by one, so that the corresponding relationship between the communication ports and optical fibers in the optical cross-connect box can be recorded and managed. However, in each ODF and optical cross-connect equipment, there are usually hundreds of ports. This pair-by-pair identification method is very labor-intensive, inefficient, and prone to omissions and errors. Moreover, after the RFID tags are installed on the communication ports and optical fiber connectors respectively, the port and optical fiber connector structure size is large, which is difficult to meet the needs of high-density wiring miniaturized connectors. Summary of the invention

[0008] The embodiments of the present application provide a communication port resource pairing device and method to solve the problem in the related art that after RFID tags are installed on the communication port and the optical fiber connector respectively, the port and the optical fiber connector structure are large in size and difficult to adapt to the needs of high-density wiring miniaturized connectors.

[0009] A first aspect of an embodiment of the present application provides a communication port resource pairing device, including:

[0010] A communication port, wherein the communication port is configured with a main tag, the main tag comprising a main tag chip and a main tag antenna connected to the main tag chip, and a main tag connector connected to the main tag chip;

[0014] In some embodiments: the master tag chip is electrically connected to two or more master tag connectors, and the communication port is connected to two or more slave tag connectors of communication plugs through the two or more master tag connectors.

[0016] In some embodiments: the slave tag chip is provided with a unique ID identification.

[0017] In some embodiments: it also includes a fiber optic distribution frame, which is provided with a distribution panel, on which more than two communication ports are arranged, one or both ends of each communication port are plugged in and connected with a communication plug, and the communication plug is connected to an optical jumper.

[0018] In some embodiments: both ends of the communication port are connected to the communication plugs, and the ID identifications of the slave tag chips of the communication plugs at both ends of the communication port are the same.

[0019] In some embodiments: the radio frequency identifier is an integrated handheld radio frequency identifier or a separate radio frequency identifier, and the separate radio frequency identifier includes a mobile phone and an RFID reader / writer connected to each other.

[0020] A second aspect of an embodiment of the present application provides a communication port resource pairing method, the method using the communication port resource pairing device described in any of the above embodiments, the method comprising:

[0021] A main tag with a unique ID is installed on the communication port, and the main tag ID is bound to the actual physical location of the communication port, and the physical location information of the corresponding communication port is written into the main tag ID;

[0022] A slave tag with a unique ID is installed on each of the communication plugs at both ends of the optical jumper, and the IDs of the slave tags of the communication plugs at both ends are read and bound, or the IDs of the slave tags of the communication plugs at both ends of an optical jumper are the same;

[0023] Insert the communication plug equipped with the slave tag into the corresponding communication port, so that the slave tag of the communication plug is electrically connected with the master tag of the communication port, and use the radio frequency identifier to open the tag inventory instruction;

[0024] The RFID counts and selects the IDs of the master tags of all the communication ports in its RF field. The RFID sends instructions to the master tags in sequence. The master tag with the matching ID in the instruction is the target master tag. The target master tag reads the ID of the slave tag connected to it and sends the slave tag's ID back to the RFID.

[0025] The RFID reader pairs the communication port with the communication plug according to the information sent back by the master tag, if the received information contains the ID of the slave tag, and determines that the communication port is in an idle state if the information sent back by the master tag does not contain the ID of the slave tag;

[0026] The radio frequency identifier completes the traversal of the main tags of all communication ports, calibrates the status of the communication port through the information returned by the main tag, and pairs and binds the communication port with the communication plug.

Since the slave tag does not need to be provided with an antenna, the size of the slave tag can be reduced, and the size of the communication plug can be designed to be smaller, which meets the future needs of miniaturization of high-density wiring connectors and single distribution frame scenarios.

[0030] In addition, the RFID is wirelessly connected to the main tag chip of each communication port through the main tag antenna.

[0040] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0041] The embodiments of the present application provide a communication port resource pairing device and method, which can solve the problem in the related art that after RFID tags are installed on the communication port and the optical fiber connector respectively, the port and the optical fiber connector structure size is large and it is difficult to adapt to the needs of high-density wiring miniaturized connectors.

[0042] See also Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a first aspect of an embodiment of the present application provides a communication port resource pairing device, comprising:

[0043] The communication port 11 is configured with a main tag 31 , wherein the main tag 31 includes a main tag chip 311 , a main tag antenna 312 connected to the main tag chip 311 , and a main tag connector 313 connected to the main tag chip 311 .

[0044] The communication plug 21 is pluggably connected to the communication port 11 . The communication plug 21 is provided with a slave tag 32 . The slave tag 32 includes a slave tag chip 321 . The slave tag chip 321 is connected with a slave tag connector 323 for adapting to the main tag connector 313 .

[0045] The communication port 11 and the communication plug 21 are used for connection between the optical jumper 2 and the port of the optical communication device. For example, the optical fiber distribution frame 1 includes more than two communication ports 11. The more than two communication ports 11 are numbered as the first to nth communication ports 11 in sequence, and the first to nth main labels 31 are added to the first to nth communication ports 11 respectively.

[0046] The first to nth optical fiber ports 11 are partially or completely connected to the optical jumper 2, and the communication plugs 21 of the optical jumper 2 are respectively provided with slave tags 32. When the first to nth communication ports 11 are partially or completely inserted with the communication plugs 21, the first to nth master tags 31 are respectively electrically connected to the inserted slave tags 32.

[0047] Each communication port 11 is connected to a radio frequency identifier 3 via a main tag antenna 312. The radio frequency identifier 3 can be used to determine the connection relationship between the 1st to nth communication ports 11 and the 1st to nth communication plugs 21. When the communication plug 21 is connected to the communication port 11, the main tag connector 313 and the slave tag connector 323 are connected to each other so that the slave tag 32 and the main tag 31 are electrically connected to each other.

[0048] The RFID 3 is used to send instructions to the master tag 31 to read and write data of the master tag 31 and its connected slave tags 32. For example, the RFID 3 is configured to broadcast an inventory instruction to the master tag 31, and the instruction includes the identifier of the target master tag. Each master tag 31 or slave tag 32 has a unique identifier.

[0049] During group scanning, the RFID 3 reads all the master tags 31 that can be identified, obtains the ID of the identified master tag 31, and then sequentially communicates with the identified master tags 31. When the RFID 3 broadcasts an inventory instruction to the master tags 31, the master tag 31 that receives the inventory instruction determines whether its own identification matches the identification of the target master tag in the instruction. If it matches, it indicates that the master tag 31 is the target master tag and responds to the instruction. If it does not match, it indicates that the master tag 31 is not the target master tag and does not need to respond to the instruction.

[0050] For example, when the master tag 31 of the communication port 11 matches the target master tag of the RFID 3, the master tag chip 311 of the master tag 31 reads the identifier of the slave tag chip 321 of the slave tag 32 connected thereto, and sends a response through the master tag antenna 312. The RFID 3 binds the identifier of the slave tag chip 321 identified in the received master tag response information with the identifier of the target master tag, thereby pairing the communication plug 21 of the optical jumper 2 with the communication port 11.

[0051] During group scanning, it is easy for tags to be missed due to factors such as the on-site environment, the angle of the RF reader antenna, and cables. Since the port resources of the patch panel are fixed, a main tag 31 is set on the communication port 11. The communication port 11 identified by the group scan can be compared with the port data stored in the asset management system to identify which ports were missed, and provide on-site guidance for additional scanning and identification.

[0052] The communication port resource pairing device of the embodiment of the present application is configured with a main tag 31 at the communication port 11, and the main tag 31 integrates a main tag chip 311, a main tag antenna 312 and a main tag connector 313, and the communication plug 21 is configured with a slave tag 32, and the slave tag 32 integrates a slave tag chip 321 and a slave tag connector 323.

[0053] When the communication plug 21 and the communication port 11 are plugged in and out and connected to each other, the main tag chip 311 is electrically connected to the slave tag chip 321 through the main tag connector 313 and the slave tag connector 323. The slave tag 32 does not need to be equipped with an antenna, which greatly reduces the size of the slave tag 32. As a result, the size of the communication plug 21 can be designed to be smaller to meet the future miniaturization requirements of high-density wiring connectors.

[0054] The RFID 3 is wirelessly connected to the main tag chip 311 of each communication port 11 through the main tag antenna 312. The main tag antenna 312 can work under the excitation of the wireless carrier energy of the RFID 3 and supply power to the main and slave tag chips.

[0055] The RFID 3 reads the information of the master tag chip 311 and the slave tag chip 321 of each communication port 11 in batches, associates and binds the information of the master tag chip 311 and the slave tag chip 321 one by one, eliminating the need for one-to-one entry of tag objects, greatly improving the efficiency of resource information entry and association. The RFID 3 can achieve pairing of multiple master and slave tags in its own RF field area, and efficiently completes the fast and accurate binding of the communication port and the communication plug.

[0056] In some optional implementations, see Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a communication port resource pairing device, wherein a main tag 31 is configured on the communication port 11 of the communication port resource pairing device. A slave tag 32 is configured on the communication plug 21. The communication port 11 also includes a radio frequency identifier 3 wirelessly connected to the main tag chip 311 through the main tag antenna 312, and the main tag connector 313 and the slave tag connector 323 are pluggably connected to each other.

[0057] The master tag 31 of the embodiment of the present application includes a master tag chip 311, a master tag antenna 312 and a master tag connector 313. The master tag chip 311 is connected to the master tag antenna 312 and the master tag connector 313 respectively. The master tag connector 313 is used to connect to the slave tag 32. The slave tag 32 includes a slave tag chip 321 and a slave tag connector 323. When the communication plug 21 is inserted into the communication port 11, the slave tag connector 323 of the slave tag 32 is electrically connected to the master tag connector 313 of the master tag 31.

[0058] When the master tag 31 is in working state, the master tag 31 supplies power to the slave tag chip 321 of the slave tag 32 through the master tag connector 313 and the slave tag connector 323 and reads the identification of the slave tag chip 321. The master tag chip 311 sends the identification information of the slave tag chip 321 to the radio frequency identifier 3 through the master tag antenna 312. When the master tag 31 is not in working state, the master tag chip 311 does not read the identification information of the slave tag chip 321.

[0059] In some optional implementations, see Figure 5 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a communication port resource pairing device, in which the main tag chip 311 of the communication port resource pairing device is electrically connected to two main tag connectors 313 or more than two main tag connectors 313. The two main tag connectors 313 are respectively a first main tag connector 313-a and a second main tag connector 313-b. The first main tag connector 313-a and the second main tag connector 313-b are respectively connected to a first slave tag connector 323-a and a second slave tag connector 323-b.

[0060] The two master tag connectors 313 are respectively connected to two slave tags 32, which are the first slave tag 32-a and the second slave tag 32-b. The first slave tag 32-a includes a first slave tag chip 321-a and a first slave tag connector 323-a, and the second slave tag 32-b includes a second slave tag chip 321-b and a second slave tag connector 323-b.

[0061] The communication port 11 can not only connect to the first slave tag connector 323-a of the first slave tag 32-a through the first master tag connector 313-a, but also connect to the second slave tag connector 323-b of the second slave tag 32-b through the second master tag connector 313-b.

[0062] When the main tag 31 responds to the inventory instruction of the radio frequency identifier 3, the main tag chip 311 reads the ID identifier of the first slave tag 32-a through the first main tag connector 313-a, and reads the ID identifier of the second slave tag 32-b through the second main tag connector 313-b, thereby realizing the pairing of the main tag 31 with the first slave tag 32-a and the second slave tag 32-b.

[0063] In some optional implementations, see Figure 4 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a communication port resource pairing device, wherein the main tag 31 of the communication port resource pairing device further includes an indicator light 314 electrically connected to the main tag chip 311. When the radio frequency identifier 3 selects the lighting operation, the main tag antenna 312 sends a command to the main tag chip 311, and the main tag chip 311 lights up the indicator light 314.

[0064] The master tag 31 of the embodiment of the present application includes a master tag chip 311, a master tag antenna 312, a master tag connector 313 and an indicator light 314. The master tag chip 311 is respectively connected to the master tag antenna 312, the master tag connector 313 and the indicator light 314. The master tag connector 313 is used to connect to the slave tag 32. The slave tag 32 includes a slave tag chip 321 and a slave tag connector 323. When the communication plug 21 is inserted into the communication port 11, the slave tag connector 323 of the slave tag 32 is electrically connected to the master tag connector 313.

[0065] When operating the jumper, the number of the communication port 11 is selected on the radio frequency identifier 3, and the indicator light 314 of the main label 31 to which the communication port 11 belongs is lit to guide the operation. The number of the optical jumper 2 can also be selected, and according to the pairing information of the communication plug 21 and the communication port 11 stored in the system, the main label 31 of the communication port 11 paired with the communication plug 21 controls the indicator light 314 to light up.

[0066] In some optional implementations, see Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a communication port resource pairing device, in which a main tag chip 311 of the communication port resource pairing device is provided with a unique ID identifier, the ID identifier of the main tag chip 311 is bound to the physical location information of the communication port 11, and the ID identifier of the main tag chip 311 is associated with the physical location information of the communication port 11.

[0067] The slave tag chip 321 is provided with a unique ID identification, and a slave tag 32 with a unique ID identification is installed on the communication plugs 21 at both ends of each optical jumper 2, and the ID information of the slave tags 32 of the communication plugs 21 at both ends of the optical jumper 2 is read and bound, or the communication plugs 21 at both ends of an optical jumper 2 use two slave tags 32 with the same ID identification.

[0068] In some optional implementations, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a communication port resource pairing device, which also includes a fiber optic distribution frame 1, on which a distribution panel is provided, and on which more than two communication ports 11 are arranged, and one or both ends of each communication port 11 are plugged and unplugged with a communication plug 21 connected to an optical jumper 2.

[0069] For example, both ends of each communication port 11 are connected to a communication plug 21, and the communication plugs 21 connected to both ends of each communication port 11 are respectively a first communication plug 21-a and a second communication plug 21-b, and the ID identifications of the slave tag chips 321 of the communication plugs 21 at both ends of each communication port 11 are the same. The first communication plug 21-a is connected to the first optical jumper 2-a, and the second communication plug 21-b is connected to the second optical jumper 2-b.

[0070] The RFID 3 is an integrated handheld RFID or a separate RFID, wherein the separate RFID includes a mobile phone and an RFID reader / writer connected to each other. The separate RFID refers to a design in which the reader / writer module is separated from the antenna. This design allows the antenna to be placed in the best position for reading the tag, while the reader / writer module can be placed at a farther distance according to actual needs.

[0071] This separate design improves the flexibility and read / write range of the system, and is particularly suitable for use in large warehouses and complex environments. Compared with the split frequency identification reader, the integrated frequency identification reader integrates the reading and writing module and the antenna. This integrated design simplifies the installation and maintenance process and reduces the space occupied by the equipment.

[0072] The radio frequency identifier 3 can be used to determine the connection relationship between the communication port 11 and the communication plug 21, and the first optical jumper 2-a and the second optical jumper 2-b. When the optical jumpers 2 at both ends of the communication port 11 are connected, the two slave tags 32 are connected to the main tag 31, and the radio frequency identifier 3 is used to send instructions to the main tag 31 to read and write data of the main tag 31 and the slave tags 32 connected to it.

[0073] The RFID 3 is configured to broadcast an inventory instruction to the master tag 31. The instruction includes the identifier of the target master tag. Each master tag 31 or slave tag 32 has a unique identifier. When the RFID 3 broadcasts the inventory instruction to the master tag 31, the master tag 31 that receives the inventory instruction determines whether its own identifier matches the identifier of the target master tag in the instruction. If they match, it indicates that the master tag 31 is the target master tag and responds to the instruction. If they do not match, it indicates that the master tag 31 is not the target master tag and does not need to respond to the instruction.

[0074] For example, when the master tag 31 matches the target master tag of the RFID 3, the master tag chip 311 of the master tag 31 reads the identifier of the first slave tag chip 321-a of the first slave tag 32-a connected thereto through the first master tag connector 313-a, reads the identifier of the second slave tag chip 321-b of the second slave tag 32-b connected thereto through the second master tag connector 313-b, and transmits it through the master tag antenna 312. The RFID 3 binds the received identifiers of the first slave tag 32-a and the second slave tag 32-b to the identifier of the target master tag, thereby pairing the first optical jumper 2-a and the second optical jumper 2-b with the communication port 11, and the communication port 11 with the first optical jumper 2-a and the second optical jumper 2-b.

[0075] A second aspect of an embodiment of the present application provides a communication port resource pairing method, the method using the communication port resource pairing device described in any of the above embodiments, the method comprising:

[0076] S10 , a main tag 31 with a unique ID is installed on the communication port 11 , and the ID of the main tag 31 is bound to the actual physical location of the communication port 11 , and the corresponding physical location information of the communication port 11 is written into the ID of the main tag 31 .

[0077] S20, a slave tag 32 with a unique ID is added to the communication plug 21 of the optical jumper 2, and the IDs of the slave tags 32 at both ends of the communication plug 21 are read and bound, or the IDs of the slave tags 32 at both ends of an optical jumper 2 are the same.

[0078] S30 , insert the communication plug 21 equipped with the slave tag 32 into the corresponding communication port 11 , so that the slave tag 32 of the communication plug 21 is electrically connected to the master tag 31 of the communication port 11 , and use the RFID 3 to open the tag inventory instruction.

[0079] S40, the RFID 3 inventories and screens out the ID identifications of the master tags 31 of all communication ports 11 in its RF field area, and the RFID 3 sends instructions to the master tags 31 in sequence. The master tag 31 whose ID matches in the instruction is the target master tag. The target master tag reads the ID identification of the slave tag 32 connected to it and sends the slave tag ID identification back to the RFID 3.

[0080] S50, the RFID 3 binds the ID of the master tag with the ID of the slave tag according to the information sent back by the master tag 31, if the received information contains the ID of the slave tag 32, that is, the communication port 11 is paired with the communication plug 21; if the information sent back by the master tag 31 does not contain the ID of the slave tag 32, it is determined that the communication port 11 is in an idle state;

[0081] S60 , repeating the above steps S40 and S50 , the RFID 3 completes the traversal of the master tags 31 of all the communication ports 11 , calibrates the status of the communication port 11 through the information returned by the master tags 31 , and pairs and binds the communication port 11 with the communication plug 21 .

[0082] How it works

[0083] The communication port resource pairing device of the present application is equipped with a main tag 31 at the communication port 11, and the main tag 31 integrates a main tag chip 311, a main tag antenna 312 and a main tag connector 313. The communication plug 21 is equipped with a slave tag 32, and the slave tag 32 includes a slave tag chip 321 and a slave tag connector 323. When the communication plug 21 is inserted into the communication port 11, the main tag connector 313 of the main tag 31 is connected with the slave tag connector 323 of the slave tag 32 to electrically connect the main tag chip 311 and the slave tag chip 321. The slave tag 32 does not need to be provided with an antenna, and the size of the slave tag 32 can be made very small, which can be used for a smaller-sized communication plug 21, meeting the future demand for miniaturization of high-density wiring connectors.

[0084] In addition, the RFID 3 is wirelessly connected to the main tag chip 311 of each communication port 11 through the main tag antenna 312. The main tag antenna 312 can work under the excitation of the wireless carrier energy of the RFID 3 and supply power to the main tag chip 311 and the slave tag chip 321. The RFID 3 reads the information of the main tag chip 311 and the slave tag chip 321 of each communication port 11 in batches, associates and binds the information of the main tag chip 311 and the slave tag chip 321 one by one, eliminating the one-to-one entry of the tag object and greatly improving the efficiency of resource information entry and association.
