Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] The embodiment of the present application provides an adapter device and an assembling method thereof, which can solve the problem that in the prior art, the adapter is installed by using buckle cooperation, and special tools are generally used for disassembly, and in a large-scale integrated optical fiber line, the replacement work of the adapter is very complex.

[0031] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the adapter device provided by the embodiment of the present application can comprise: a support 1, the support 1 is provided with at least one mounting window 11, at least two adapter mounting positions are arranged in each mounting window 11, and the at least two adapter mounting positions are preferably arranged in a row, wherein the support 1 can be provided with one mounting window 11 or a plurality of mounting windows 11, and the actual use needs to be set, and eight mounting windows 11 are shown in the figure; the support 1 is provided with a clamping structure 12 corresponding to each adapter mounting position, and the support 1 is provided with a driving structure 2 corresponding to the mounting window 11, at least one clamping structure 12 is arranged on the driving structure 2, and one clamping structure 12 is arranged on the driving structure 2 in the embodiment, and of course, a plurality of clamping structures 12 can also be arranged on the driving structure 2 in other embodiments; and an adapter 3, the adapter 3 is arranged corresponding to the adapter mounting position, and is locked with the corresponding clamping structure 12, wherein the locking here can be understood as limiting or fixing, the clamping structure 12 arranged on the driving structure 2 can lock and fix the adapter 3 through the cooperation of the driving structure 2, and the clamping structures 12 in other positions can limit the adapter 3, and finally the driving structure 2 is locked together; the driving structure 2 is configured to drive the clamping structure 12 arranged thereon and the corresponding adapter 3 to be unlocked, and simultaneously unlock the remaining adapters 3 in the mounting window 11; that is, the driving structure 2 can be used to drive the clamping structure 12 thereon, so that the clamping structure 12 there releases the limitation of the adapter 3, and when the adapter 3 there is removed, the remaining adapters 3 can also be removed after the limitation of the adapter 3 there is released.

[0032] In the embodiment of the present application, the clamping structure 12 is arranged on the support 1, the clamping structure 12 can cooperate with the adapter 3 to limit the adapter 3 mounted on the support 1, and meanwhile, the driving structure 2 is also arranged on the support 1, the driving structure 2 can drive the corresponding adapter 3 and the clamping structure 12 to be unlocked, and simultaneously unlock the remaining adapters 3 in the mounting window 11, so that when disassembling, the driving structure 2 is directly driven to quickly unlock all the adapters 3, without using special tools, and the complexity of the replacement work of the adapter 3 is reduced.

[0033] Further, since the adapter 3 in the embodiment can be easily disassembled and assembled from the support 1, the embodiment provides that the adapter device can be better applied to the use scenarios that need to be disassembled and replaced or need to be disassembled and replaced.

[0034] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 3 The support 1 can be provided with a contact plane 13 that cooperates with the adapter 3, and the clamping structure 12 is arranged on the contact plane 13. The contact plane 13 can be a horizontal plane or an inclined plane, and in other embodiments, it can also be a curved surface with a slight curvature, etc. When the adapter 3 arranged on the driving structure 2 is disassembled, the remaining adapters 3 can be disassembled by sliding on the contact plane 13 relative to the support 1. In the embodiment, the contact plane 13 is preferably arranged as a horizontal plane.

[0035] In some optional embodiments, the support 1 can also not be provided with a plane that contacts the adapter 3, and directly cooperates with the adapter 3 through the clamping structure 12 to limit and fix the adapter 3.

[0036] Further, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The clamping structure 12 can be a protrusion 121 arranged on the support 1, and the protrusion 121 can extend obliquely relative to the support 1. Correspondingly, the adapter 3 can be provided with a groove 33 that cooperates with the protrusion 121 to limit and fix the adapter 3. The groove 33 can extend through the bottom of the adapter 3 along the extension direction of the protrusion 121, so that the two ends of the groove 33 do not block the adapter 3 from being disassembled from the protrusion 121. In the embodiment, by arranging the oblique protrusion 121 structure, the adapter 3 can be limited at a set oblique angle, so that a row of adapters 3 are arranged obliquely relative to the support 1, which can be applied to the scenario that the adapter 3 needs to be arranged obliquely. The obliquely arranged adapter 3 can reduce the volume of the entire adapter device, so that it occupies less space. And the adapter 3 can slide out of the mounting window 11 along the oblique extension direction of the protrusion 121. Of course, when installing the adapter 3, the adapter 3 can also be inserted into the mounting window 11 along the oblique extension direction of the protrusion 121. When the adapter 3 is installed in the corresponding adapter mounting position, the protrusion 121 can protrude into the groove 33 to limit and fix the adapter 3 in the front-rear direction. When the last adapter 3 is clamped with the protrusion 121, the left-right direction and the front-rear direction of the row of adapters 3 in each mounting window 11 are limited, and the up-down direction of the adapter 3 is limited by the inner wall surface of the frame 14, so that the adapter 3 cannot move in any direction in the mounting window 11.

[0037] Of course, in other embodiments, the clamping structure 12 can also be designed as a groove structure, and a protrusion 121 matched with the groove structure is arranged on the adapter 3, so that the adapter 3 can also be limited.

[0038] When the adapter 3 is installed in the installation window 11, the upper and lower top surfaces and the left and right side surfaces of the installation window 11 limit the adapter 3, so that the adapter 3 cannot move up and down and left and right. Meanwhile, the protrusion 121 arranged obliquely can limit the front and back and left and right directions of each adapter 3. After the last adapter 3 is installed, the front and back, left and right, and up and down directions of all the adapters 3 in each installation window 11 are limited, so that all the adapters 3 are fixed in the installation window 11.

[0039] As shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 Preferably, in the embodiment, the bottom surface of the adapter 3 is provided with two elastic arms 31, and the two elastic arms 31 are arranged at intervals. Meanwhile, the bottom surface of the adapter 3 is also provided with a boss 32, and the boss 32 and the two elastic arms 31 form the groove 33. By arranging the elastic arm 31, when the adapter 3 is assembled to the bracket 1, the adapter 3 is pushed, and the two elastic arms 31 can pass over the protrusion 121, so that the protrusion 121 enters between the boss 32 and the two elastic arms 31, and then the adapter 3 is clamped on the protrusion 121. The extension direction of the elastic arm 31 can be along the longitudinal direction of the adapter 3, and the two elastic arms 31 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the adapter 3. The boss 32 can also extend along the width direction of the adapter 3. In this way, the groove 33 extends exactly along the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the adapter 3.

[0040] When the adapter 3 is assembled, the adapter 3 can be inserted into the adapter installation position along the longitudinal direction of the adapter 3, that is, the direction perpendicular to the protrusion 121. Meanwhile, in the process of insertion, the protrusion 121 will pass over the elastic arm 31 and enter the groove 33. When the adapter 3 is disassembled, the adapter 3 can be slid out along the extension direction of the protrusion 121. That is, the installation direction of the adapter 3 can be different from the disassembly direction.

[0041] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3As shown, the mounting window 11 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 121 corresponding to each adapter mounting position, wherein the plurality of protrusions 121 can refer to two protrusions 121, or more than two, and the plurality of protrusions 121 are distributed on opposite sides of the mounting window 11, and the inclination angles of the protrusions 121 on the opposite sides of the mounting window 11 are equal. When each adapter mounting position is provided with two protrusions 121, one protrusion 121 can be arranged on the top side of the adapter mounting position, and the other protrusion 121 can be arranged on the bottom side of the adapter mounting position, i.e., the two protrusions 121 are arranged on the top and bottom, respectively, and limit the adapter 3 from the top and bottom directions. The equal inclination angles of the two protrusions 121 on the top and bottom can ensure that the adapter 3 can be smoothly removed. Of course, in other embodiments, only one protrusion 121 can be arranged corresponding to each adapter mounting position for limiting.

[0042] In this embodiment, eight mounting windows 11 are arranged on the bracket 1, and six adapter mounting positions are arranged in each mounting window 11, and two protrusions 121 are arranged in each adapter mounting position, so that six adapters 3 can be installed. Of course, the number of mounting windows 11 on the bracket 1 and the number of adapters 3 to be installed are not limited, and can be adjusted according to actual conditions.

[0043] In some optional embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 The driving structure 2 can include an elastic arm 21, and the clamping structure 12 is arranged on the elastic arm 21. The elastic arm 21 has a certain elasticity and can be bent. The clamping structure 12 arranged on the elastic arm 21 can move with the deformation of the elastic arm 21. The elastic arm 21 is equivalent to an unlocking switch. When the elastic arm 21 is pulled, the clamping structure 12 arranged on the elastic arm 21 is unlocked with the corresponding adapter 3. When the adapter 3 is assembled into the adapter mounting position and the elastic arm 21 is released, the elastic arm 21 drives the clamping structure 12 to lock the adapter 3. The pulling can be understood as pulling in any direction, which can be upward pulling, downward pulling, or 360° pulling in any direction. The elastic arm 21 can be designed as a structure that can be bent multiple times, so that no matter which direction the elastic arm 21 is pulled, the elastic arm 21 can be designed to unlock the adapter 3 after the elastic arm 21 is pulled. In this embodiment, by designing the elastic arm 21 with elasticity, the elastic arm 21 can be unlocked by pulling, and the adapter 3 can be locked by releasing. The operation is simple, and the adapter 3 is more convenient to disassemble and install.

[0044] Of course, in other embodiments, the driving structure 2 can also be a lock or the like structure arranged on the support 1. Since the two adjacent adapters 3 are adjacent to each other, one of the adapters 3 is fixed by the lock or the like structure, so that the adapter 3 limits the other adapters 3 in the mounting window 11, and all the adapters 3 in the mounting window 11 are fixed in the mounting window 11; and when the adapter 3 provided with the lock or the like structure is unlocked, the remaining adapters 3 can also be unlocked and removed. That is, the driving structure 2 is not limited to the elastic arm 21 described above.

[0045] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the support 1 can include a frame 14 and a support plate 15 arranged in the frame 14, and the support plate 15 divides the frame 14 into at least two mounting windows 11. In this embodiment, when the number of support plates 15 is one, the support plate 15 can divide the frame 14 into two mounting windows 11, and the support plate 15 is located between the two mounting windows 11; when the number of support plates 15 is multiple, the multiple support plates 15 can be arranged in the left-right direction and can divide the frame 14 into multiple mounting windows 11, and the multiple mounting windows 11 are also arranged in the left-right direction; and the driving structure 2 is arranged between two adjacent mounting windows 11 to drive the adapters 3 in at least two mounting windows 11 to be unlocked. In this embodiment, by arranging the driving structure 2 between the two mounting windows 11, one driving structure 2 can be used to drive the adapters 3 in the two mounting windows 11 to be unlocked, so that the adapters 3 in the two mounting windows 11 can be removed at one time. In other embodiments, one driving structure 2 can be arranged corresponding to each mounting window 11.

[0046] Further, in some optional embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , one end of the support plate 15 is arranged spaced apart from the inner wall of the frame 14 to form a receiving space 16, and the driving structure 2 is arranged in the receiving space 16. In this embodiment, one end of the support plate 15 can be completely disconnected from the inner wall of the frame 14 to form the receiving space 16, or a part of the support plate 15 can be removed in the thickness direction to form the receiving space 16, and the other part is still connected with the frame 14; when the support plate 15 is completely disconnected from the frame 14, one end thereof can be connected to the frame 14 through the driving structure 2 in the receiving space 16, or can be indirectly connected to the frame 14 through other components. In this embodiment, by arranging the receiving space 16 at one end of the support plate 15, the receiving space 16 can provide operation or movement or deformation space for the driving structure 2.

[0047] Of course, in other embodiments, the receiving space 16 can not be provided, and the driving structure 2 can be arranged outside the frame 14, and the driving adapter 3 can be unlocked. Alternatively, in other embodiments, when the driving structure 2 is arranged at a position other than the end position in the mounting window 11, the receiving space 16 can also be arranged at a position other than the end position in the support plate 15.

[0048] Further, referring to Figure 3 In some embodiments, as shown in the drawings, the driving structure 2 includes elastic arms 21; one end of the support plate 15 is connected to the frame 14 through the connecting rods 17, that is, one end of the support plate 15 is disconnected from the frame 14, and the other end of the support plate 15 is connected to the frame 14 through the connecting rods 17; two elastic arms 21 are arranged on each connecting rod 17, and the elastic arms 21 are accommodated in the receiving space 16, and the elastic arms 21 correspond to the mounting windows 11 one by one. In this embodiment, the connecting rods 17 not only ensure the stable support of the support plate 15, but also leave the receiving space 16 for the elastic arms 21, so that the space can be fully utilized, and the elastic arms 21 can be provided with a moving space; and the elastic arms 21 can be designed to be longer, which is beneficial to improve the elasticity of the elastic arms 21 and facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the adapter 3; and since the receiving space 16 is reserved, the width of the connecting rod 17 is smaller than the width of the support plate 15, so that the elasticity of the connecting rod 17 is improved, and the elasticity of the elastic arms 21 is further improved.

[0049] Preferably, referring to Figure 4 As shown in the drawings, the support plate 15 and the frame 14 can extend outward to form extension sections 18, and the opposite ends of the connecting rods 17 are connected to the extension sections 18, so that the connecting rods 17 are located outside the frame 14. That is, each end of the connecting rod 17 can be connected to a different extension section 18, and the extension section 18 extending outward can support the connecting rod 17 outside, so that the connecting rod 17 is separated from the support plate 15 by a distance. In this way, the length and volume of the receiving space 16 can be increased, and the elastic arms 21 can be designed to be longer, and the elasticity is further improved.

[0050] The embodiment of the application also provides an assembling method of the adapter device.

[0051] Step 1: drive the driving structure 2 to unlock and remove the adapter 3 mounted on the driving structure 2 from the bracket 1, and at the same time, unlock the remaining adapters 3 in the mounting window 11. In this step, the adapter 3 mounted on the driving structure 2 can be unlocked and removed by the driving structure 2. When the adapter 3 is removed, the remaining adapters 3 in the mounting window 11 are no longer restricted by the adapter 3, and the remaining adapters 3 in contact with the lock can be detached from the bracket 1.

[0052] Step 2: remove the remaining adapters 3 in the mounting window 11.

[0053] Step 3: sequentially install the adapters 3 on the bracket 1.

[0054] When the adapter device is used in a scene requiring left-right reversal, the bracket 1 can be reversed by 180° before the adapters 3 are sequentially installed on the bracket 1. Then the adapters 3 can be installed on the reversed bracket 1, and the adapters 3 can be tilted from one side to the other side, such as from left to right.

[0055] Further, the sequential installation of the adapters 3 on the bracket 1 can include: installing each of the remaining adapters 3 in the mounting window 11 on the corresponding adapter mounting position, and finally installing the adapter 3 on the driving structure 2. After the last adapter 3 is locked by the driving structure 2, the adapter 3 can limit the remaining adapters 3, so that the remaining adapters 3 are also fixed and cannot be detached from the bracket 1.

[0056] In some embodiments, the driving structure 2 is an elastic arm 21, and the driving of the driving structure 2 to unlock and remove the adapter 3 mounted on the driving structure 2 from the bracket 1, and at the same time, unlock the remaining adapters 3 in the mounting window 11 can include: pulling the elastic arm 21 to unlock and remove the adapter 3 mounted on the elastic arm 21 from the bracket 1, and at the same time, unlock the remaining adapters 3 in the mounting window 11. At this time, the remaining adapters 3 in the mounting window 11 can be pulled out in the front-back direction because they are no longer restricted by the adapter 3 (i.e., the removed adapter 3) in the left-right direction.

[0057] Further, the clamping structure 12 can be a protrusion 121 arranged in the mounting window 11, and the adapter 3 can be slid and pulled out along the extension direction of the protrusion 121 when being detached.

[0058] In assembling the adapter 3, the adapter 3 can be inserted into the adapter mounting position along the longitudinal direction of the adapter 3, i.e. perpendicular to the direction of the protrusion 121, and at the same time, the protrusion 121 will pass over the elastic arm 31 into the groove 33 during the insertion. In disassembling the adapter 3, the adapter 3 can be slid out along the extension direction of the protrusion 121, i.e. the mounting direction of the adapter 3 can be different from the dismounting direction.
