Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a clamping device for removing caps from ODF fiber optic distribution frames, belonging to the field of fiber optic communication equipment technology. Background Technology

[0002] In routine communication maintenance and repair, it is necessary to frequently remove and replace the caps on ODF (Optical Distribution Frame). Because the pigtails and jumpers on the optical distribution frame are easily bent and susceptible to stress, it is easy to accidentally touch or disturb adjacent operating fiber cores during cap removal. Furthermore, since the flange caps in common ODF optical distribution frames are made of plastic or rubber, they are prone to hardening and aging over time. Removing these caps is time-consuming and laborious, posing a significant safety hazard to the communications industry. To address these issues, a new technical solution is provided. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a clamping device for ODF fiber optic patch panel caps, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a clamping device for an ODF fiber optic patch panel cap, comprising a collection bottle and clamping pliers. The collection bottle is provided with a lower lifting lug, an external threaded bushing, an L-shaped slot, and a support frame. The lower lifting lug is integrally formed and connected to the upper front end of the collection bottle. The external threaded bushing is integrally formed and connected to the middle of the top of the collection bottle. The L-shaped slot is opened on the right side of the collection bottle. The support frame is symmetrically installed and fixed to the upper left side of the inside of the collection bottle by screws. The clamping pliers are threadedly connected to the external threaded bushing.

[0005] Preferably, the L-shaped groove has symmetrical shaft holes on both sides in the middle, and an L-shaped cover plate is connected to the shaft hole through a rotating shaft. An acupressure plate is integrally formed and connected to the upper outer side of the L-shaped cover plate.

[0006] Preferably, the end of the support frame is integrally connected with double lifting lugs, and the inner side of the double lifting lugs is connected to an inner double lifting lug via an optical axis. The inner double lifting lug is provided with a torsion spring and an L-shaped support frame. The torsion spring is fitted inside the inner double lifting lug. The L-shaped support frame is integrally connected to the top of the inner double lifting lug, and the L-shaped support frame is tightly fitted to the upper inner side of the L-shaped cover plate.

[0007] Preferably, the extraction pliers are provided with an upper lifting lug, a dividing groove, and pliers claws. The upper lifting lug is integrally formed and connected to the middle section of the extraction pliers, and the upper lifting lug is connected to the lower lifting lug via a rope. The dividing groove is arranged in a cross shape on the top of the extraction pliers, and the pliers claws are integrally formed in a triangular shape and connected to the inner side of the top of the extraction pliers.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The upper lifting lug is connected to the lower lifting lug by a rope, which can easily prevent the collection bottle and the pulling pliers from separating and being lost; an L-shaped cover plate is connected to the shaft hole by a rotating shaft, which can easily flip the L-shaped cover plate to tilt the caps stored in the collection bottle; a finger pressure plate is integrally formed on the upper outer side of the L-shaped cover plate, which can easily press the L-shaped cover plate; the dividing grooves are arranged in a cross shape on the top of the pulling pliers, which can easily adjust the tightness of the pliers claws; the pliers claws are integrally formed in a triangle shape on the inner side of the top of the pulling pliers, which can easily pull out the caps; the torsion spring is fitted inside the inner double lifting lugs, which can easily drive the L-shaped support frame to reset; in summary, the present invention can easily pull out and store the caps, effectively improving work efficiency.

Detailed Implementation

[0010] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0011] like Figure 1-4As shown, a clamping device for an ODF fiber optic patch panel cap includes a collection bottle 1 and clamping 2. The collection bottle 1 is provided with a lower lifting lug 3, an external threaded bushing 4, an L-shaped slot 5, and a support frame 6. The lower lifting lug 3 is integrally formed and connected to the upper front end of the collection bottle 1. The external threaded bushing 4 is integrally formed and connected to the middle of the top of the collection bottle 1. The L-shaped slot 5 is located on the right side of the collection bottle 1. The support frame 6 is symmetrically installed and fixed to the upper left side of the inside of the collection bottle 1 by screws. The clamping 2 is threadedly connected to the external threaded bushing 4. The L-shaped slot 5 has symmetrical shaft holes 7 on both sides in the middle. An L-shaped cover plate 9 is connected to the shaft hole 7 via a rotating shaft 8. A finger pressure plate 10 is integrally formed and connected to the upper outer side of the L-shaped cover plate 9. The support frame 6 is integrally formed with double lifting lugs 11 at its end. The inner double lifting lugs 12 are connected to the inner side of the double lifting lugs 11 via an optical shaft. The inner double lifting lugs 12 are provided with torsion springs 13 and L-shaped support frames 14. The torsion springs 13 are fitted inside the inner double lifting lugs 12. The L-shaped support frames 14 are integrally formed and connected to the top of the inner double lifting lugs 12. The L-shaped support frames 14 are tightly fitted to the upper inner side of the L-shaped cover plate 9. The extraction clamps 2 are provided with upper lifting lugs 15, dividing grooves 16 and clamp claws 17. The upper lifting lugs 15 are integrally formed and connected to the middle section of the extraction clamps 2. The upper lifting lugs 15 are connected to the lower lifting lugs 3 via ropes. The dividing grooves 16 are arranged in a cross shape on the top of the extraction clamps 2. The clamp claws 17 are triangular and integrally formed and connected to the inner top of the extraction clamps 2.

[0012] Specific usage: When in use, attach the pliers 17 to the cap and pull it out. After pulling out, the cap slides down the pliers 2 into the collection bottle 1. When the cap needs to be removed, press the pressure plate 10 to cause the L-shaped cover 9 to flip. At this time, the cap in the collection bottle 1 falls out. At the same time, the flipping of the L-shaped cover 9 causes the L-shaped support frame 14 to flip inward around the double lifting lugs 11, and the torsion spring 13 is compressed. After the cap is removed, release the pressure plate 10. The torsion spring 13 causes the L-shaped support frame 14 to return to its original position. The return of the L-shaped support frame 14 causes the L-shaped cover 9 to flip and close the collection bottle 1.

[0013] The above description represents a preferred embodiment of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, any changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations made to the implementation methods without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, based on the teachings of the present invention, still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
