Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of optical power testing technology, specifically to an optical power multiplexer. Background Technology

[0002] An optical power meter is an instrument used to measure absolute optical power or the relative loss of optical power through a section of optical fiber. In optical fiber systems, measuring optical power is the most basic operation, much like a multimeter in electronics. In optical fiber measurement, the optical power meter is a commonly used instrument with heavy workloads. By measuring the absolute power of the transmitter or optical network, an optical power meter can evaluate the performance of optical terminal equipment. When used in combination with a stable light source, an optical power meter can measure connection loss, verify continuity, and help evaluate the transmission quality of optical fiber links.

[0003] Currently, an optical power meter can typically only test one optical fiber at a time. To test multiple optical fibers simultaneously, multiple optical power meters are required. However, traditional optical power testers are often set up independently, making them difficult to organize effectively. This results in a messy arrangement of the entire device and test lines, causing many inconveniences for subsequent testing. Summary of the Invention

[0028] Example:

[0029] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides an optical power multi-channel tester, including a housing 1. A housing cover 2 is rotatably connected to the rear of the housing 1. Three test wire storage boxes 3 are fixedly connected inside the housing cover 2. Test wires 5 are disposed inside the test wire storage boxes 3. By opening the storage box cover 4, the test wires 5 can be taken out from inside the test wire storage boxes 3. One end of the test wire 5 is connected to an optical power meter 24. The optical power meter 24 and the test wires 5 work together to test the relevant optical fibers. An internal mounting plate 10 is fixedly installed inside the housing 1. Three storage slots 11 are formed on the surface of the internal mounting plate 10. A rotating connecting rod is rotatably connected to the three storage slots 11. 12. A storage box cover 4 is rotatably connected to one side of the test cable storage box 3. A first mounting magnet 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the storage box cover 4. A second mounting magnet 7, which is compatible with the first mounting magnet 6, is fixedly connected to the side wall of the test cable storage box 3. Two limiting connectors 9 are fixedly connected to the front side of the storage and installation box 1. Two snap-fit ​​tongues 8 are fixedly connected to the front side of the installation box cover 2. The snap-fit ​​tongues 8 are compatible with the limiting connectors 9. The snap-fit ​​tongues 8 are made of elastic plastic. Multiple heat dissipation holes 22 are opened on both sides of the storage and installation box 1. Two heat dissipation fans 23 are fixedly installed on the front of the built-in mounting plate 10. Whether during testing or charging, the heat dissipation fans 23 can perform heat dissipation.

[0030] The outer surface of the rotating connecting rod 12 is provided with three snap-fit ​​components. Each snap-fit ​​component is provided with an optical power meter 24. The snap-fit ​​component includes a sleeve fixing block 13 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating connecting rod 12. A U-shaped placement seat 14 is fixedly connected to the surface of the sleeve fixing block 13. The U-shaped placement seat 14 is set inside the corresponding storage slot 11. The optical power meter 24 is snapped into the inside of the U-shaped placement seat 14. An overlapping support rod 17 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of each storage slot 11. A first connecting magnet 15 is fixedly connected to the surface of the U-shaped placement seat 14. A second connecting magnet is fixedly connected to the back of the optical power meter 24. The first connecting magnet 15 and the second connecting magnet are magnetically connected. Multiple sponge protrusions 16 are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner wall of the U-shaped placement seat 14. The optical power meter 24 fits into the sponge protrusions 16, ensuring that the optical power meter 24 can be snapped tightly. At the same time, the optical power meter 24 can also be disassembled for easy replacement.

[0031] The surface of the built-in mounting plate 10 is provided with a device mounting groove 18. Inside the device mounting groove 18 is a power component that drives the rotating connecting rod 12 to rotate. The power component includes a servo motor 19 fixedly installed inside the device mounting groove 18. The output shaft of the servo motor 19 is fixedly connected to a first drive gear 20. The end of the rotating connecting rod 12 extends into the device mounting groove 18 and is fixedly connected to a second drive gear 21. The first drive gear 20 and the second drive gear 21 are meshed. When the servo motor 19 is started, the output shaft of the servo motor 19 drives the first drive gear 20 to rotate. Since the first drive gear 20 and the second drive gear 21 are meshed, the rotating connecting rod 12 rotates. The rotating connecting rod 12 drives the sleeve fixing block 13 to rotate. The sleeve fixing block 13 drives the U-shaped placement seat 14 to rotate. The U-shaped placement seat 14 drives the optical power meter 24 to rotate, thereby adjusting the angle of the optical power meter 24 and making it suitable for different usage situations.

[0032] The storage and installation box 1 has three sliding connecting plates 25 slidably connected to its inner bottom. A sliding block is fixedly connected to the bottom of each sliding connecting plate 25. A sliding groove is provided on the inner bottom of the storage and installation box 1, and the sliding block is slidably connected inside the sliding groove. A charging assembly is connected between the three sliding connecting plates 25. The charging assembly includes a connector 29. A second wire 30 is electrically connected to one side of the connector 29, and a plug is electrically connected to the end of the second wire 30 away from the connector 29.

The outer surface of the charging head 27 is fixedly connected to the socket mounting block 26. The socket mounting block 26 is fixedly connected to the top of the corresponding sliding connecting plate 25. The optical power meter 24 lies flat inside the storage slot 11. By moving the sliding connecting plate 25, the sliding connecting plate 25 can move the socket mounting block 26. The socket mounting block 26 carries the charging head 27, so that the charging head 27 is inserted into the charging port of the optical power meter 24. Then, the plug is taken out and connected to the socket to start charging.

[0033] Working principle:

[0034] In use, press the snap-fit ​​tongue 8 to separate it from the limiting connector 9. Then, open the mounting box cover 2 and start the servo motor 19. The output shaft of the servo motor 19 drives the first drive gear 20 to rotate. Since the first drive gear 20 is meshed with the second drive gear 21, the rotating connecting rod 12 rotates. The rotating connecting rod 12 drives the sleeve fixing block 13 to rotate. The sleeve fixing block 13 drives the U-shaped placement seat 14 to rotate. The U-shaped placement seat 14 drives the optical power meter 24 to rotate, thereby adjusting the angle of the optical power meter 24 for easy use by the tester.

[0035] By opening the storage box cover 4, the test cable 5 can be taken out from the inside of the test cable storage box 3. One end of the test cable 5 is connected to the optical power meter 24, and the relevant optical fiber is tested by the optical power meter 24 and the test cable 5 working together.

[0036] When the optical power meter 24 needs to be charged, the optical power meter 24 lies flat inside the storage slot 11. By moving the sliding connecting plate 25, the sliding connecting plate 25 can move the socket mounting block 26. The socket mounting block 26 carries the charging head 27, so that the charging head 27 is inserted into the charging port of the optical power meter 24. Then, the plug is taken out and connected to the socket to start charging. This can effectively store the charging cable, avoid the loss of the charging cable, and ensure the integrity of the whole set of equipment.
