A sliding hole is provided on the side wall of each cable management slot. An elastic element and a sliding member are slidably disposed within the sliding hole. The two ends of the elastic element are connected to the sliding member and the inner wall of the sliding hole, respectively. A first inclined surface is provided on the side of the sliding member away from the elastic element, gradually moving upwards towards the elastic element.

[0009] By adopting the above technical scheme, when the optical fiber is erected, the optical fiber is arranged on the groove frame, the optical fiber is driven against the groove frame by the driving member, and the optical fiber slides along the axis direction of the sliding hole, the optical fiber is pushed into the wire arranging groove by the driving member when the optical fiber slides on the groove frame, and abuts against the first inclined surface, so that the sliding member slides into the sliding hole, and the elastic member is compressed, so that the optical fiber enters the wire storage space, and then the elastic member rebounds to push the sliding member to slide, and the optical fiber is limited in the wire storage space; another optical fiber is arranged on the groove frame again, the optical fiber is driven again by the driving member, so that the optical fiber enters the wire arranging groove, and since the wire storage space is matched with the size of the optical fiber, a plurality of optical fibers cannot enter the same wire arranging groove, and the optical fiber is separated from the wire arranging groove which has already accommodated the optical fiber under the action of the driving member, and enters the next empty wire arranging groove.

[0023] By adopting the technical scheme, the filter screen can filter the ash layer passing through the suction pipe, and the filter screen can be removed and cleaned, reducing the situation that the ash layer is accumulated in the suction pipe and causes the suction pipe to be blocked.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The following will be described in detail in combination with the accompanying Figures 1-3 The present application is further described in detail.

[0034] The optical fiber groove disclosed by the embodiment of the present application refers to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , comprising a groove frame 1, a plurality of wire arrangement grooves 11 are formed on the upper side of the groove frame 1, the wire arrangement grooves 11 are used for accommodating part of the optical fiber, a sliding hole 12 is formed on the side wall of the wire arrangement groove 11, a sliding part 13 is slidably arranged in the sliding hole 12, an elastic part 14 is connected to the inner wall of the sliding hole 12, one end of the elastic part 14 away from the inner wall of the sliding hole 12 is connected with the sliding part 13, the elastic part 14 is specifically a spring, a first inclined surface is arranged on the end of the sliding part 13 away from the elastic part 14, and gradually approaches the elastic part 14 upwards; the lower side wall of the sliding part 13 and the wire arrangement groove 11 form a wire storage space 111, the wire storage space 111 is matched with the size of the optical fiber; the connecting part between the side wall of the wire arrangement groove 11 away from the sliding hole 12 and the upper side of the groove frame 1 is a round corner. The distance from the upper side of the end of the sliding part 13 away from the elastic part 14 to the upper side of the groove frame 1 is less than the radius of the optical fiber; a driving block 4 is slidably arranged on the groove frame 1, the sliding direction of the driving block 4 is parallel to the axis direction of the sliding hole 12, an inclined surface is arranged on the side of the driving block 4 close to the groove frame 1, a handle is connected to the side of the driving block 4 away from the opening direction of the sliding hole 12, and the inclined surface gradually moves away from the groove frame 1 in the direction close to the handle.

[0035] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2When the optical fiber is laid, the optical fiber is laid on the groove frame 1, the inclined surface of the driving block 4 is abutted against the optical fiber by sliding the driving block 4, the optical fiber is abutted against the groove frame 1, and the optical fiber slides along the axis direction of the sliding hole 12; when the optical fiber slides on the groove frame 1, the driving block 4 pushes the optical fiber into the wire arranging groove 11, and the optical fiber is abutted against the first inclined surface, so that the sliding piece 13 slides into the sliding hole 12, and the elastic piece 14 is compressed, so that the optical fiber enters the wire storage space 111; then the elastic piece 14 rebounds, pushes the sliding piece 13 to slide, and the optical fiber is limited in the wire storage space 111.

[0036] Another optical fiber is laid on the groove frame 1 again, the optical fiber is driven by the driving block 4 again, and the optical fiber enters the wire arranging groove 11; because the wire storage space 111 is matched with the size of the optical fiber, a plurality of optical fibers cannot enter the same wire storage space 111, and the optical fiber is separated from the wire arranging groove 11 in which the optical fiber has been accommodated under the action of the driving block 4 and enters the next empty wire arranging groove 11. Through multiple cycles, each optical fiber is limited in a wire arranging groove 11, the interweaving between different optical fibers is reduced, the optical fibers laid on the groove frame 1 are more tidy, each optical fiber can be taken out individually, and therefore the maintenance of the optical fibers is facilitated. The round corner can facilitate the separation of the optical fiber from the wire arranging groove 11 and reduce the situation that the optical fiber is blocked in the wire arranging groove 11 in which the optical fiber has been accommodated.

[0037] A plurality of groove frames 1 are connected to form an optical fiber groove for placing the optical fiber; in other embodiments of the application, the groove frame 1 can be spaced apart from the optical fiber frame, or one groove frame 1 is arranged every several optical fiber frames, so that the optical fiber needs to be fixed through the groove frame 1 less frequently, and the situation that an operator operates complicatedly is reduced.

[0038] Referring to Figure 1 When the optical fiber is sent into the wire arranging groove 11 by the driving block 4, the operator can slide from the edge of the groove frame 1 and slightly assist with the hand, so that the optical fiber is abutted against the sliding block when the optical fiber slides from the driving block 4; different optical fibers start from the edge of the groove frame 1 and gradually enter the wire arranging grooves 11 farther and farther away from the groove frame 1, so that the optical fibers on the groove frame 1 are more orderly according to the laying sequence, and the intercrossing of different optical fibers is reduced.

[0039] In the embodiment of the application, the elastic piece 14 can be a spring with a small elastic modulus, so as to reduce the force required for the optical fiber to push the sliding piece 13 to slide and reduce the situation that the optical fiber is damaged due to excessive force.

[0040] Referring to Figure 2The second inclined surface is arranged on the lower side of the sliding piece 13 away from the elastic piece 14, and gradually approaches the elastic piece 14 downwards. The limiting groove 15 is arranged on the side wall of the cable management groove 11, and is used for partially inserting the sliding piece 13. When the optical fiber is damaged, the optical fiber is pulled outwards, and the optical fiber is abutted against the second inclined surface, so that the sliding piece 13 slides into the sliding hole 12, and the optical fiber is removed from the cable management groove 11. The limiting groove 15 can partially insert the sliding piece 13, so that the optical fiber is more stably limited by the sliding piece 13, and the situation that the optical fiber is separated from the cable management groove 11 is reduced.

[0041] With reference to Figure 1 And Figure 2 The driving block 4 is fixedly connected with a magnetic attraction piece 41, and the groove frame 1 is fixedly connected with an attraction piece 18. The magnetic attraction piece 41 can be a magnet, and the attraction piece 18 can be made of iron, nickel or other metals that can be attracted by a magnet. The magnetic attraction piece 41 attracts the attraction piece 18, so that the driving block 4 abuts against the groove frame 1, and the optical fiber abuts against the upper side of the groove frame 1, so that the optical fiber is inserted into the cable management groove 11 when the driving block 4 is slid.

[0042] With reference to Figure 3 The optical fiber groove further comprises a blowing piece and a suction piece, and the blowing piece and the suction piece can be air pumps. The groove frame 1 is provided with an air outlet channel 16 and an air outlet connected with the air outlet channel 16, and adjacent groove frames 1 are detachably connected and the air outlet channels 16 on the adjacent groove frames 1 are connected. The groove frame 1 is fixedly connected with a connecting rod 2, and the groove frame 1 and the connecting rod 2 can be welded or integrally formed. The connecting rod 2 is fixedly connected with a suction pipe 3 away from the groove frame 1, and the connecting rod 2 and the suction pipe 3 can be welded or integrally formed. The groove frame 1, the connecting rod 2 and the suction pipe 3 form an upwardly open cable groove 5. The suction pipe 3 is provided with a suction hole 31, and the suction pipe 3 is detachably provided with a filter screen 32 at one end. The suction pipes 3 on adjacent groove frames 1 are connected. The blowing piece can blow air into the air outlet channel 16, and the suction piece can make the air in the suction pipe 3 flow to the suction piece.

[0043] The blowing piece can blow air flow into the air outlet channel 16 and out of the air outlet, so that the air flow can blow away the dust layer on the groove frame 1, reduce the accumulation of the dust layer on the groove frame 1, and facilitate maintenance when the optical fiber fails. The suction piece can make the air flow from the suction hole 31 to the suction pipe 3, and the dust layer in the air can be brought into the suction pipe 3 and be adsorbed by the filter screen 32, reducing the situation that the dust layer blown by the blowing piece falls off. The filter screen 32 can filter the dust layer passing through the suction pipe 3, and the filter screen 32 can be removed for cleaning, reducing the situation that the dust layer accumulates in the suction pipe 3 and causes the suction pipe 3 to be blocked. The connecting rod 2 and the suction pipe 3 form the cable groove 5, which can facilitate the optical fiber to be arranged on the groove frame 1, and reduce the situation that the optical fiber falls off from the groove frame 1 when the optical fiber is arranged.

[0044] The adjacent groove frame 1 or the ventilation pipe can be connected in the form of insertion, so that the air suction pipes 3 are connected, and the air outlet channels 16 are connected. The specific connection manner is a routine technical means of those skilled in the art, which is not described here. When the groove is provided with the optical fiber frame, the optical fiber frame provided with the air outlet channel 16, the air outlet hole and the air suction pipe 3 can be used to normally connect the air suction pipe 3 or the air outlet channel 16.

[0045] The implementation principle of the optical fiber groove of the embodiment of the application is as follows: the optical fiber is arranged on the groove frame 1, the driving block 4 is placed at one side edge of the groove frame 1, and then the driving block 4 is slid, and the sliding direction of the driving block 4 is the same as the opening direction of the sliding hole 12 on the groove frame 1. During the sliding process of the driving block 4, the optical fiber is abutted, the optical fiber is abutted to the upper side of the groove frame 1, and the optical fiber is slid to be arranged in the wire arrangement groove 11. The driving block 4 continues to abut the optical fiber, the optical fiber is abutted to the sliding piece 13, the sliding piece 13 is slid, the elastic piece 14 is compressed, and the optical fiber is arranged in the wire storage space 111. Then the elastic piece 14 rebounds, the sliding piece 13 is slid, and is arranged in the limiting groove 15, so that the condition that the optical fiber is separated from the wire storage space 111 is reduced. The optical fiber is arranged again, and the driving block 4 is slid. Because the wire storage space 111 is matched with the size of the optical fiber, different optical fibers are difficult to be arranged in the same wire storage space 111, so that the pipelines are arranged in different wire arrangement grooves 11 in the arrangement order, the crossing between different optical fibers is reduced, the optical fiber is more neat, and the subsequent maintenance is facilitated. The air flow is intermittently or continuously introduced into the air outlet channel 16 by the air blowing piece, so that the air flow flows out of the air blowing hole 17, the dust on the groove frame 1 is blown away, and the accumulation of the dust layer on the groove frame 1 is reduced. The air flow with dust is sucked into the air suction hole 31 and the air suction pipe 3 by the air suction piece, and the condition that the dust is scattered is reduced. By reducing the accumulation of the dust on the groove frame 1, the maintenance of the optical fiber on the groove frame 1 is further facilitated.

[0046] The above are the preferred embodiments of the application, which do not limit the protection scope of the application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made on the basis of the structure, shape and principle of the application should be covered by the protection scope of the application.
