Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of optical cable joint boxes, and in particular relates to a mobile joint box. Background Art
[0002] Fiber optic mobile splice box is a device used in fiber optic communication systems, mainly used to protect fiber optic splices, fix optical fibers and accommodate fiber optic splicing pigtails. It not only provides space for fiber optic splicing, but also plays a role in moisture-proof, corrosion-proof and dust-proof, ensuring the quality and life of fiber optic connections.
[0003] The existing optical fiber splice box is used for splicing between multi-core optical cables, and contains multiple layers of splice trays for placing optical cores. The maintenance and installation work in each splice tray needs to be carried out after the upper splice tray is opened. At the same time, the splice points are distributed on the multiple splice trays, and it is difficult to visually see the splice points without taking measures. It is inconvenient to repair because the splice points cannot be visually seen. Furthermore, the sealing strip between the upper shell and the lower shell of the splice box needs to be tightened and squeezed by bolts to achieve the sealing purpose, which makes it inconvenient to detect and repair the sealing inside the splice box.
[0004] Before optical fiber fusion splicing, considering the subsequent secondary fusion splicing of optical fibers, it is necessary to reserve a sufficient length of optical fiber. After the fusion splicing is completed, the fusion point is fixed in the card slot, and then the excess length of optical fiber is manually arranged so that the excess length of optical fiber is wound around the free space on the fusion splicing tray. Manual winding of optical fiber requires more experience and technical accumulation to complete, and the operation efficiency of beginners is low. For example, the patent with application number 202310893747.3 designs an optical cable rotating tray for winding excess length optical fiber, but due to the different distribution positions of the fusion points, the distances between each fusion point and the rotating tray are different, so there will be a section of optical fiber with a relatively disordered order in the fusion box, and the rotating tray is electrically driven and has a higher cost.
[0005] When the splice box is in use, it is occasionally hit. The optical fiber has a large space in the splice box, and the deformation of the splice box is not easy to damage the fusion point of the optical fiber. However, when the splice box is hit and vibrates, the fusion point may be pulled and broken due to violent jumping.
[0006] The junction box is generally dustproof and waterproof by sealing strips, but the sealing strips will age after a period of use. It is not easy to judge the quality of the sealing strips without disassembling the upper shell and the lower shell, and it is impossible to judge whether the sealing of the junction box still meets the requirements.
[0007] The length of the optical fiber changes due to pulling or thermal contraction. The optical fiber is in a relatively free motion state due to the lack of sufficient constraints, which can cause the transmission capacity of the optical fiber to fluctuate, thereby causing the signal transmission of the optical fiber to be unstable.
[0008] The present invention designs a mobile joint box to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention
[0009] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a mobile joint box for the problems existing in the current joint box. The fiber splicing assembly in the lower shell assembly of the present invention performs a one-time operation to cut the fiber cores on the same side of the same length when performing the core splicing of the optical cable, so that the cutting work before the core splicing is more convenient and simple without cutting all the cores one by one, thereby improving the efficiency of optical cable splicing and core cutting. The second elastic strip of the fiber splicing assembly in the present invention can be wound with a longer core fiber because its diameter can be adjusted, which facilitates the secondary maintenance and splicing of the core fiber after its splicing point is damaged. The fiber splicing assembly in the present invention can directly wind and splice the core, without the need for the complex operation of the fiber splicing and maintenance of the traditional joint box by opening the cover, effectively improving the efficiency of the core splicing and installation and maintenance of the optical cable. The upper shell assembly in the present invention is made of transparent plastic material, and the internal core splicing point is close to the upper shell after the upper shell and the lower shell are closed, so the state of the internal splicing point can be visually observed, the fault point can be quickly located, and the maintenance is convenient and fast. The second elastic strip in the fiber splicing assembly of the present invention can store the fiber core in a single circle through the clamp assembly thereon and can keep the fiber core with sufficient looseness under the condition of satisfying the winding, so as not to be too tight or too loose, effectively limiting the vibration and pulling of the fiber core when the upper shell and the lower shell are hit, and then the wall fiber core is broken and damaged by the pulling of the welding point, and at the same time, it is ensured that the conductive ability of the fiber core is not limited by the vibration and pulling, and has a relatively stable attenuation performance. The sealing detection assembly in the present invention can intuitively observe whether the upper shell and the lower shell in the closed state are in an effective sealing state through visual observation. If the upper shell and the lower shell in the closed state are in an effective sealing state, the piston in the sealing detection assembly will move to a certain extent when the external temperature and air pressure change. If the sealing in the upper shell and the lower shell in the closed state fails, the piston in the sealing detection assembly will eventually be flush with the position marking ring outside the ring sleeve under the action of the air pressure balance on both sides and the two pressure springs, effectively improving the efficiency of sealing detection. In the sealing detection assembly of the present invention, the first elastic strip and the second elastic strip used to fix the fiber core fusion point will undergo a certain elastic movement when the upper shell is impacted, so that the fusion point of the fiber core can avoid the impact vibration transmitted from the upper shell and play a certain degree of buffering effect on the vibration, thereby ensuring that the transmission performance of the fiber core is basically not affected.

The fiber splicing assembly 400 of the present invention can directly wind and splice the fiber core 804, without the need for the complex operation of the fiber splicing and maintenance of the fiber splicing tray in the traditional joint box by flipping open, effectively improving the efficiency of the fiber core 804 splicing and installation and maintenance of the optical cable 801. The upper shell component 600 in the present invention is made of transparent plastic material, and the internal fiber core 804 fusion point is close to the upper shell 601 after the upper shell 601 and the lower shell 101 are closed, so the state of the internal fusion point can be visually observed, the fault point can be quickly located, and maintenance is convenient and fast. The second elastic strip 408 in the fiber fusion component 400 of the present invention performs a single-turn winding and storage of the fiber core 804 through the clamp component 500 thereon and can keep the fiber core 804 with sufficient looseness under the winding condition, so as not to be too tight or too loose, and effectively limit the vibration and pulling of the fiber core 804 when the upper shell 601 and the lower shell 101 are hit, and then the wall fiber core 804 is broken and damaged at the fusion point due to pulling, and at the same time, it is ensured that the conduction capacity of the fiber core 804 is not limited by vibration and pulling, and has a relatively stable attenuation performance. The sealing detection component 700 in the present invention can intuitively observe visually whether the upper shell 601 and the lower shell 101 in the closed state are in an effective sealing state. If the upper shell 601 and the lower shell 101 in the closed state are in an effective sealing state, the piston 704 in the sealing detection component 700 will move to a certain extent when the external temperature and air pressure change. If the seal in the upper shell 601 and the lower shell 101 in the closed state fails, the piston 704 in the sealing detection component 700 will eventually be flush with the position marking ring 703 on the outside of the ring sleeve 701 under the action of the air pressure balance on both sides and the two pressure springs 707, thereby effectively improving the efficiency of sealing detection. In the sealing detection component 700 of the present invention, the first elastic strip 407 and the second elastic strip 408 for fixing the fusion point of the fiber core 804 will undergo a certain elastic movement when the upper shell 601 is impacted, so that the fusion point of the fiber core 804 can avoid the impact vibration transmitted from the upper shell 601 and play a certain degree of buffering effect on the vibration, thereby ensuring that the transmission performance of the fiber core 804 is basically not affected.
[0074] The use principle of the present invention is as follows:
[0075] In the initial state, the upper shell 601 and the lower shell 101 are in an open state, the exposed length of all the first elastic strips 407 in the fiber splicing assembly 400 is equal to the circular radius of the second elastic strips 408, the distance between the middle of each first elastic strip 407 and the first arc plate 401 is the largest, both ends of the second elastic strip 408 are fixed to the second arc plate 405 by bolts, and the first half hoop 501 and the second half hoop 502 in the clamp assembly 500 on both sides of each second elastic strip 408 are in a closed state. The piston 704 in the sealing detection assembly 700 on the upper shell 601 is located at the center between the two limit rings 702 under the action of the two pressure springs 707, and one end of the piston 704 is flush with the position marking ring 703 on the outside of the ring sleeve 701.
[0076] The process of installing the fusion-splicing optical cable 801 using the present invention is as follows:
[0077] Three pairs of 24-core optical cables 801 are respectively inserted into the lower shell 101 from the three pairs of sealing sleeves 106 at both ends of the lower shell 101, and the two first clamping assemblies 200 clamp and fix the three optical cables 801 at the corresponding ends with bolts, which can prevent the optical cables 801 from moving relative to the lower shell 101 under the action of external force, so that the optical cables 801 and the lower shell 101 are relatively fixed. After entering the lower housing 101, each optical cable 801 is peeled according to the required length, so that the four core fibers 802 and the protective steel wire 803 in the optical cable 801 are exposed, and the protective steel wire 803 in each optical cable 801 is inserted into the round hole on the corresponding fixing column 301 and is tightened and fixed by the corresponding locking screw 302. The two second clamping assemblies 300 clamp and fix the core fibers 802 of the three optical cables 801 at the corresponding end, and the first clamping block 305 on the first clamping strip 303 in the second clamping assembly 300 and the second clamping block 309 on the second clamping strip 307 are in a closed and locked state.
[0078] The diameter of the ring formed by all the second elastic strips 408 is adjusted as required, and the process is as follows:
[0079] Loosen the bolts fixing the two ends of the second elastic strip 408, move the two ends of the second elastic strip 408 so that the diameter of the ring formed by the second elastic strip 408 changes to the desired size, and then fix the second elastic strip 408 to the second arc plate 405 by bolts, thereby completing the adjustment of the diameter of the ring formed by the second elastic strip 408.
[0080] like Figure 8 , 11As shown, after the diameters of all the second elastic strips 408 are adjusted, the 12 pairs of exposed core fibers 802 in the three pairs of optical cables 801 are respectively passed through the clamp assemblies 500 on both sides of the corresponding second elastic strips 408 along the circle of the second elastic strips 408 to the vicinity of the arc sleeve 410 at the upper end and further peeled, so that 6 pairs of fiber cores 804 in the two core fibers 802 are exposed and all the fiber cores 804 are cut to equal lengths as needed, and a sheath 805 is put on each of the pair of fiber cores 804 corresponding to each second elastic strip 408, and then the corresponding pair of fiber cores 804 are fused. After the fusion is completed, the sheath 805 is moved to the fusion point to form a protection for the fusion point, and the fusion point protected by the sheath 805 is pressed into the corresponding second slot 411 on the corresponding arc sleeve 410, so as to keep the pair of core fibers 802 wrapped around the side of the second elastic strip 408 in a properly relaxed state.
[0081] like Fig.13 As shown, after all the fiber cores 804 are fused and fixed, the upper shell 601 is sealed and connected to the lower shell 101 by bolts. During the closing process of the upper shell 601 and the lower shell 101, the upper shell 601 will squeeze the first elastic strips 407 located in the middle, and the curvature of the squeezed first elastic strips 407 is reduced, and the two ends of the first elastic strips 407 simultaneously slide deeply into the two slots 403 at the two ends, so that the exposed length of the first elastic strips 407 is reduced. Fig.18 As shown in (a) and (b), the corresponding second elastic strip 408 changes from a circle to an ellipse under the pressure of the corresponding first elastic strip 407, and the pair of core fibers 802 that have been fused and wound on the second elastic strip 408 undergo corresponding elliptical deformation as the second elastic strip 408 deforms, and the curvature of the deformed core fiber 802 meets the installation requirements. The relaxed winding state of the core fiber 802 on the second elastic strip 408 and the deformation of the second elastic strip 408 from a circle to an ellipse can ensure that the core fiber 802 will not be excessively relaxed or excessively tightened during the closing process of the upper shell 601 and the lower shell 101, thereby protecting the core fiber 802 of the optical cable 801 from being pulled and disconnected from the fusion point.
[0082] The elastic changes of the first elastic strip 407 and the second elastic strip 408 in the fiber splicing assembly 400 can enable the fiber splicing assembly 400 to effectively adapt to the space changes in the upper shell 601 and the lower shell 101. At the same time, the fiber splicing assembly 400 can avoid the shortcomings of inconvenient maintenance and cumbersome operation of the multi-layer fiber splicing tray in the traditional joint box.
[0083] When a certain optical cable 801 needs to be welded for the second time, the welding point of the optical cable 801 that needs to be welded for the second time is cut off, and a new optical cable 801 is replaced to match the existing optical cable 801. Then, the exposed fiber core 804 of the optical cable 801 is re-cut. Since the length of the fiber core 804 of the existing optical cable 801 is limited, the radius of the corresponding second elastic strip 408 needs to be reduced by a certain amount so that the end of the exposed fiber core 804 of the optical cable 801 has sufficient free length for cutting and welding. Since the radius of the circular ring formed by the second elastic strip 408 to form a circular winding support for the corresponding pair of fiber cores 804 can be adjusted, the fiber core 804 on the second elastic strip 408 can be subjected to subsequent secondary welding multiple times as required until the free length of the end of the fiber core 804 at the upper end of the second elastic strip 408 does not meet the required position.
[0084] Adjustment of the diameter of the ring formed by a single second elastic strip 408 does not affect the protective fixation of the corresponding fiber core 804 fusion points by other second elastic strips 408 .
[0085] If the piston 704 in the sealing detection assembly 700 on the wall of the upper shell 601 moves and is not flush with the position marking ring 703 on the ring sleeve 701 when the outside temperature changes due to day and night changes, then it means that the air pressure on both sides of the piston 704 changes to produce an air pressure difference, and the air pressure in the space between the upper shell 601 and the lower shell 101 is constant. It also means that the space between the upper shell 601 and the lower shell 101 in the closed state is in a good sealing state, and the second sealing strip 604 of the upper shell 601 and the first sealing strip 104 of the lower shell 101 are well sealed. If the piston 704 in the sealing detection assembly 700 on the wall of the upper shell 601 does not move when the outside temperature changes due to the change of day and night, but is always flush with the position marking ring 703 on the ring sleeve 701, then it means that the air pressure in the space between the upper shell 601 and the lower shell 101 is always balanced with the outside environment pressure, which further indicates that the seal between the upper shell 601 and the lower shell 101 in the closed state fails, and the sealing fit between the second sealing strip 604 of the upper shell 601 and the first sealing strip 104 of the lower shell 101 is poor, so it can be guessed that The second sealing strip 604 of the upper shell 601 and the first sealing strip 104 of the lower shell 101 may be aged. At this time, by further tightening the bolts connecting the upper shell 601 and the lower shell 101, the second sealing strip 604 of the upper shell 601 can be further penetrated into the second sealing groove 105 of the first sealing strip 104 of the lower shell 101 and the first sealing strip 104 can be further squeezed, so that the second sealing strip 604 and the first sealing strip 104 form a temporary effective sealing fit, providing sufficient time for replacing the first sealing strip 104 and the second sealing strip 604.
