[0037] like Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, the optical fiber device environmental reliability test box and the test method thereof provided in this embodiment include a detection component 11, the detection component 11 includes a light emitter 5 and a detection structure 6, the light emitter 5 and the detection structure 6 are used to detect the continuity of the optical fiber, the bottom of the light emitter 5 is engaged with a driving wheel 4 through a driving plate 3, the driving wheel 4 is used to push the driving plate 3, the detection component 11 includes the light emitter 5 and the detection structure 6, and then the two ends of the optical fiber are respectively inserted into the light emitter 5 or the detection structure 6, by rotating the driving wheel 4 counterclockwise, the optical fiber can be simultaneously fed into the detection component 11 for detection. The structure is simple and easy to use, and it is still very convenient to operate even in high temperature, humidity and high light environments;

[0038] Inserting both ends of the optical fiber into the detection component 11 and protecting them with a housing greatly improves the detection effect and completely avoids light leakage or weak light conditions.

[0039] A lower driving tooth 302 is fixedly provided on the lower side of the driving plate 3, and the lower driving tooth 302 is meshed and connected with the driving wheel 4. An upper driving tooth 301 is fixedly provided on the upper side of the driving plate 3, and the upper driving tooth 301 is meshed and connected with the driven wheel 201. The upper part of the driving plate 3 is meshed and connected with the detection driving structure 2. The driving plate 3 is used to push the detection driving structure 2. The detection structure 6 is fixedly provided on the detection driving structure 2. The light emitter 5 is fixedly provided on the driving plate 3. The detection driving structure 2 includes a driven wheel 201 and a driven plate 202. The driven wheel 201 is used to push the driven plate 202.

[0040] The entire detection component 11 operates as follows:

[0041] After fixing one end of the optical fiber on the second feeding connection part 601 and the other end on the first feeding connection part 502, by rotating the driving wheel 4 counterclockwise, the driving plate 3 is driven to move to the left while the driving wheel 4 rotates, and the driving plate 3 moves to the left while the driving plate 3 drives the driven wheel 201 on the detection driving structure 2 to rotate clockwise, and the driven wheel 201 rotates clockwise while the driven plate 202 moves to the right, so that both ends of the optical fiber can be brought into the interior of the detection component 11, and the optical fiber can be pushed forward at the same time. The structure is simple, the operation is convenient, and the manual operation is safer and more convenient.

[0042] Further, such as Figure 1 Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, the light transmitter 5 includes a circuit board 503 and a first feeding connection part 502.

When the driving wheel 4 is driven counterclockwise, the first feeding connection part 502 is close to the light transmitting head 501. After one end of the optical fiber is fixed on the first feeding connection part 502, the driving plate 3 is moved to the left under the action of the driving wheel 4. The first feeding connection part 502 on the driving plate 3 moves to the left at the same time, carrying the optical fiber close to the light transmitting head 501. The light transmitting head 501 and the first feeding connection part 502 are on the same horizontal line, so no correction is required.

Therefore, during the process of detecting that the driving structure 2 or the driving plate 3 is driven, it can slide on the first slide 7 or the second slide 701 to ensure the stability of the movement of the detection driving structure 2 or the driving plate 3.

[0046] At the same time, one side of the driving wheel 4 is connected to a driving handle 402 through a driving wheel connecting rod 401. The driving handle 402 is arranged on the outside of the test box housing 1. The driving handle 402 is fixedly provided with anti-slip grooves.
