[0019] The embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and related examples. The embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the following examples, and the present invention relates to the relevant necessary components in this technical field, which should be regarded as well-known technology in this technical field and can be known and mastered by those skilled in this technical field.

[0020] Reference Figures 1 to 8 The present invention is implemented as follows: a wall box for indoor and outdoor use includes a square box body 1 for fixing to a wall, a box cover 2 hinged to one side and snapped to the other side of the box body 1, and a cable reversing structure 3 fixed to the rear side of the box body 1 and extending to the upper side of the box body 1. The box body 1 has an inlet hole 11 and an outlet hole 12 on its left and right sides. The inlet hole 11 is equipped with an optical fiber connector 13 for signal input, and the outlet hole 12 is equipped with an adapter 14 for signal output. The box body 1 has a receiving cavity 15 inside, and the box body 1 has an opening 16 at the upper part of the receiving cavity 15. The box cover 2 covers the upper side of the opening 16 of the receiving cavity 15. A cable management structure 152 is fixed inside the receiving cavity 15. A sealing ring 17 is provided at the opening 16, and the sealing ring 17 protrudes from the plane height of the opening 16 of the receiving cavity 15. The outer side of the box body 1 has a box body fixing structure 18 protruding from the bottom of the box body 1.

[0021] Two inlet holes 11 and two fiber optic connectors 13 are provided on one side of the side box 1. Twelve outlet holes 12 and twelve adapters 14 are provided, four of which are provided on the side of the box 1 with fiber optic connectors 13, and the other eight are provided on the other side of the box 1. Outlet holes 12 and adapters 14 are provided on both sides of the box 1 to facilitate users to select the appropriate adapter 14 as needed.

[0022] When in use, the box 1 can be hung on a wall, tied to a utility pole, or suspended from a load-bearing cable via the box fixing structure 18, enabling assembly and use in various on-site scenarios. The signal input cable is inserted into the fiber optic connector 13. The cable at one end of the housing cavity 15 of the fiber optic connector 13 is neatly organized and spliced ​​into several internal signal cables by the cable management structure 152. These internal signal cables are then inserted into the ports of the adapter 14 located inside the housing cavity 15 for connection. When in use, the signal output cable 001 can be inserted into any port of the adapter 14 located outside the box 1 to complete the signal connection as needed.

[0023] When the signal output line 001 needs to be non-parallel to the direction of the output hole 12, in order to avoid the signal output line 001 and its corresponding adapter 14 forming a pulling force that causes signal instability, the signal output line 001 needs to be fixed before the direction is reversed.

[0024] The cable reversing structure 3 extending from the upper side of the housing 1 fixes the signal output cable 001, which is not parallel to the output hole 12, providing a buffer reversing space for the signal output cable 001 and ensuring the elimination of the pulling force between the signal output cable 001 and its opposite adapter 14, thereby ensuring the stability of the output signal. The housing cover 2 covers the receiving cavity 15, and a sealing ring 17 is provided at the opening 16. After the inner side of the housing cover 2 is tightly fitted with the sealing ring 17, it is snapped onto the housing 1, which not only serves as a dustproof function but also as a waterproof function.

[0025] Based on the above embodiments, as a further preferred embodiment, the cable reversing structure 3 includes a fixed panel 31 fixed to the rear side of the housing 1, a positioning groove plate 32, a cable reversing block 33 limited in the positioning groove plate 32, and a fixing frame 34 that fixes the cable reversing block 33 and the positioning groove plate 32. The positioning groove plate 32, the cable reversing block 33, and the fixing frame 34 are sequentially fixed to the side of the fixed panel 31 by bolts.

[0026] When the signal output line 001 is not parallel to the direction of the output hole 12, the signal output line 001 is passed through the cable reversing block 33 and its direction is changed and fixed. The cable reversing block 33 is confined within the positioning slot plate 32 and can be slightly loose to facilitate the signal output line 001 passing through the cable reversing block 33. Then, the positioning slot plate 32, the cable reversing block 33, and the fixing bracket 34 are sequentially fixed to the side of the fixing plate by bolt connection, so that the signal output line 001 is fixed to the cable reversing block 33, ensuring that the pulling force between the signal output line 001 and its opposite adapter 14 is eliminated, thereby ensuring the stability of the output signal.

[0027] Based on the above embodiments, as a further preferred embodiment, the fixing panel 31 is U-shaped, and the lower part of the U-shaped fixing panel 31 is fixed to the rear side of the box body 1 by screws. Two fixing brackets 34, positioning slot plates 32, and cable reversing blocks 33 are provided respectively. The positioning slot plates 32 and the U-shaped fixing panel 31 are respectively provided with positioning hole one 321 and positioning hole two 311. The positioning hole one 321 and positioning hole two 311 are connected and are provided on both sides of the cable reversing block 33. The fixing bracket 34 passes through the positioning hole one 321 and positioning hole two 311 to clamp the cable reversing block 33 to the fixing panel 31 and the positioning slot plate 32 for fixation.

[0028] The fixed panel 31 is U-shaped, which saves materials and reduces weight without affecting functionality. Two fixing brackets 34, positioning slots 32, and cable reversing blocks 33 are respectively provided on the upper side of the U-shaped fixed panel 31, ensuring greater stability after the signal output cable 001 passes through the two cable reversing blocks 33. Positioning holes 1 321 and 2 311 are interconnected and located on both sides of the cable reversing block 33. Loosening the bolts allows the fixing bracket 34 to slightly position the second positioning hole 311, thus loosening the cable reversing block 33 and facilitating the passage of the signal output cable 001 through it. Tightening the bolts allows the fixing bracket 34 to extend into the positioning holes 1 321 and 2 311, clamping the cable reversing block 33 and fixing the signal output cable 001 inside, ensuring greater stability after the signal output cable 001 passes through the cable reversing block 33.

[0029] Based on the above embodiments, as a further preferred embodiment, the cable reversing block 33 is a cuboid and has a first side 331 and a second side 332 facing each other, a bottom surface 333 located below the first side 331 and the second side 332, a top surface 334 located above the first side 331 and the second side 332, a front surface 335 located in front of the first side 331 and the second side 332, and a rear surface 336 located behind the first side 331 and the second side 332. The cable reversing block 33 has four through holes 337 penetrating the first side 331 and the second side 332. Each through hole 337 has a notch 338 that leads to the top surface 334 or the bottom surface 333 nearby. The cable reversing block 33 also has a bolt hole 339 penetrating the front surface 335 and the rear surface 336. The positioning groove plate 32 and the U-shaped fixing panel 31 are respectively provided with bolt holes 322 and 312. The rear part of the cable reversing block 33 is confined within the positioning groove plate 32.

[0030] The cable reversing block 33 is made of polyurethane (PU) elastic material. Bolts pass through the fixing frame 34 and bolt holes 339, 322, and 312 to fix the positioning slot plate 32, cable reversing block 33, and fixing frame 34 to the side of the fixing panel 31. When the signal output line 001 is not parallel to the direction of the output hole 12, loosen the bolts so that the fixing bracket 34 slightly exits the positioning hole 1 321 and the positioning hole 2 311, thereby loosening the cable reversing block 33. The rear part of the loosened cable reversing block 33 is confined within the positioning groove plate 32, thereby ensuring that the wire hole 337 is parallel to the wire hole 337. This ensures that the signal output line 001 is parallel to the output hole 12 after entering the wire hole 337 of the two cable reversing blocks 33. Then tighten the bolts to fix the positioning groove plate 32, the cable reversing block 33, and the fixing bracket 34 to the side of the fixing panel 31. As the bolts are tightened, the notch 338 of the cable reversing block 33 is pressed and closed by the fixing bracket 34, thereby clamping the signal output line 001 within the wire hole 337, ensuring that the signal output line 001 is more stable after passing through the cable reversing block 33.

[0031] Based on the above embodiments, as a further preferred embodiment, the fixing frame 34 includes a side plate 341, two limiting feet 342 extending from the periphery of the side plate 341, and two guard feet 343. The two limiting feet 342 pass through positioning holes 1 321 and 2 311 respectively from the top surface 334 and bottom surface 333 of the cable reversing block 33. The two guard feet 343 extend to the outside of the first side surface 331 and the second side surface 332 respectively. The side plate 341 has a bolt hole 4 3411 in the middle. The bolt holes 1 339, 2 322, 3 312, and 4 3411 are interconnected and fixedly connected by bolts to fix the fixing frame 34, positioning groove plate 32, cable reversing block 33, and fixing panel 31.

[0032] When the bolt is loosened, the limit foot 342 slightly exits from the positioning hole 311 and the positioning hole 321. At the same time, the bolt does not completely exit from the bolt hole 312 of the fixing panel 31. This ensures that when the bolt is loosened, the cable reversing block 33 and the positioning slot plate 32 are still limited within the two limit feet 342 by the fixing frame 34. This allows the signal output line 001 to pass through the wire hole 337 and then the bolt can be tightened directly to fix the cable reversing block 33 and the positioning slot to the side of the fixing frame 34.

[0033] The bottom of the receiving cavity 15 has two rows of four support columns 153, totaling eight columns. The cable management structure 152 includes a tray 1521 screwed to the upper side of the support columns 153, a fiber optic tray 1522 screwed to the upper side of the tray 1521, and a fixing clamp 1523 screwed to the upper side of the tray 1521 and located on the side of the fiber optic tray 1522. The tray 1521 is installed on the upper side of several support columns 153 at different positions at the bottom of the receiving cavity 15 according to the actual needs of the cable. The fiber optic tray 1522 and the fixing clamp 1523 can also be installed or not, depending on the actual needs. In this embodiment, the fiber optic tray 1522 and the fixing clamp 1523 are installed. The support columns 153 penetrate the bottom of the box body 1 and extend to a certain height outward from the bottom of the box body 1, and the support columns 153 protrude from the fixing panel 31 by a certain distance.

[0034] The internal signal cable leading from the fiber optic connector 13 inside the housing 1 is fixed to the tray by the fixing clamp 1523 and then enters the fiber optic splice tray 1522 to splice several signal cables before entering the port of the adapter 14 located on one side of the receiving cavity 15. The signal cable at one end of the fiber optic connector 13 in the receiving cavity 15 is neatly organized and spliced ​​by the cable management structure 152, and the signal cables are respectively inserted into the port of the adapter 14 located inside the receiving cavity 15 for connection. When using, the user can insert the external connector of the signal output line 001 into any port of the adapter 14 located outside the housing 1 to complete the signal connection as needed. The support column 153 protrudes a certain distance from the fixing panel 31 to provide a certain amount of operating space for the bolts and guard feet 343 to pass through the positioning holes 321 and 311.

[0035] Based on the above embodiments, as a further preferred embodiment, the box fixing structure 18 is provided with a height of fixed to the box fixing block 182 and the support column 153 penetrating the bottom of the box 1 and extending to the upper and lower sides of the bottom of the box 1, and a box fixing block 182 fixed in the middle of the bottom of the box 1. The hanging block 181 is provided with a through hanging hole 1811. There are four hanging blocks 181, two on each of the upper and lower sides of the bottom of the box 1. The box 1 can be screwed and fixed to the wall or hung on a load-bearing cable through the hanging hole 1811. The height of the box fixing block 182 is flush with the height of the support column 153 extending outward from the bottom of the box 1. After the box 1 is fixed to the wall, the fixing block 182 and the support column 153 support the wall, making the box 1 more stable. The box fixing block 182 has a fixing block bottom 1821 with a gap 183 between it and the bottom of the box 1. The fixing block bottom 1821 has an arc surface 1823 that curves towards the bottom of the box 1. A fence 1822 is provided at the arc surface 1 of the fixing block bottom 1821. The box 1 can be hung on the wall through the fence 1822 or tied to the utility pole by using straps through the fence 1822. When tied to the utility pole, the arc surface 1823 can fit more closely to the outside of the utility pole, making the box 1 more securely tied to the utility pole. The gap 183 provides space for the wall hook.

[0036] The inner wall of the receiving cavity 15 is provided with reinforcing ribs 156 to strengthen the strength of the box body 1. The thickness of the reinforcing ribs 156 near the opening 16 of the receiving cavity 15 is thinner than that near the bottom of the receiving cavity 15, so as to facilitate the installation of the tray 1521 into the receiving cavity 15.

[0037] The box cover 2 has an opening 21 that covers the opening 16, and the inner wall of the box cover 2 has a groove 22 near the opening 21.

[0038] After the lid 2 is closed and fastened to the box body 1, the groove 22 and the sealing ring 17 protrude from the plane height of the opening 16 of the receiving cavity 15, which can not only play a role in dust prevention, but also a role in waterproofing.

[0039] This invention has a simple structure and can be assembled and used in various field scenarios. It has good waterproof performance. When the signal output line 001 is not parallel to the adapter 14, it can realize the direction change of the signal output line 001, ensuring the elimination of the pulling force between the signal output line 001 and the opposite adapter 14, thereby ensuring the stability of the output signal.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
