Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of ODU, and particularly relates to an ODU sub-frame with compatibility. BACKGROUND

[0002] The ODU sub-frame is mainly used for fusion and distribution management of fiber cores and tail fibers of optical cables, is a modular independent unit related to optical cable connection network equipment, and can be integrated in an ODF distribution rack or other types of cabinets. Core functions of the ODU sub-frame include optical cable fixation, fusion of fiber cores and tail fibers of optical cables, redundant storage of tail fibers and optical cables, and jumper management, and support flexible network optical path allocation.

[0003] The ODU sub-frame is generally arranged in multiple layers up and down in an optical fiber distribution rack or a cabinet, and is provided with a fusion fiber tray. When the number of optical fibers is large, the number of layers of the ODU sub-frame in the distribution rack and the number in each layer are large, and the number of optical fibers on the fusion fiber tray in each ODU sub-frame is also large. When installing or maintaining the ODU sub-frame, a long time is required for installation and maintenance due to the large number of optical fibers, and the efficiency is low. If multiple people simultaneously maintain the ODU sub-frames in the distribution rack, the structure and layout of the ODU sub-frames do not allow multiple people to simultaneously maintain the ODU sub-frames in the distribution rack. Two adjacent or close ODU sub-frames in the same layer interfere with each other after being pulled out due to insufficient space, especially adjacent ODU sub-frames in the upper and lower layers interfere with each other after being pulled out, further prolonging the maintenance time of the ODU sub-frames and reducing the maintenance efficiency.

[0004] The application designs an ODU sub-frame with compatibility to allow two people to simultaneously maintain the ODU sub-frames to solve the above problems. SUMMARY

[0005] Based on this, it is necessary to provide an ODU sub-frame with compatibility in view of the problems existing in the current ODU sub-frame, the fiber fusion disc assembly in the present application can rotate 180 degrees around the horizontal axis of the first rotating sleeve relative to the corresponding sliding seat after being pulled out of the cabinet, so that the opening of the first fiber fusion disc in the fiber fusion disc assembly is opposite to the opening of the first fiber fusion disc in the adjacent or nearby fiber fusion disc assembly of the same layer which needs to be repaired, so that the maintenance personnel who maintain the two fiber fusion disc assemblies can simultaneously maintain them on both sides of the two fiber fusion disc assemblies without interfering with each other, improving the efficiency of ODU sub-frame maintenance. The fiber fusion disc assembly in the present application can swing 90 degrees around the vertical axis of the first round pin in the corresponding connecting assembly from right to left away from the right adjacent or nearby sub-frame assembly which needs to be repaired, so that the opening of the fiber fusion disc assembly faces outward from the cabinet to the maintainer, so that the two maintainers who maintain the two fiber fusion disc assemblies are respectively located on both sides of the right fiber fusion disc assembly and simultaneously maintain the two fiber fusion disc assemblies respectively, thereby effectively improving the maintenance efficiency of the ODU sub-frame. The limiting assembly in the sub-frame assembly of the present application for limiting the 180-degree rotation of the fiber fusion disc assembly can ensure that the fiber fusion disc assembly will automatically generate a 180-degree rotation after rotating in any direction around the first rotating sleeve axis, ensuring that the opening of the first fiber fusion disc in the rotating fiber fusion disc assembly is opposite to the opening of the first fiber fusion disc in the adjacent or nearby fiber fusion disc assembly which needs to be repaired, thereby facilitating two maintenance personnel to simultaneously maintain two fiber fusion disc assemblies.

The limiting assembly 252 for limiting the 180-degree swing of the fiber fusion tray assembly 219 in the sub-frame assembly 200 in the application can ensure that the fiber fusion tray assembly 219 will automatically generate a 180-degree swing after rotating in any direction around the axis of the first rotating sleeve 211, and ensure that the opening of the first fiber fusion tray 220 in the fiber fusion tray assembly 219 which has rotated is opposite to the opening of the first fiber fusion tray 220 in the adjacent or nearby fiber fusion tray assembly 219 which needs to be repaired, thereby facilitating two maintenance personnel to simultaneously maintain two fiber fusion tray assemblies 219.

[0062] The operation flow of the present application is as follows:

[0063] In the initial state, the cabinet door 102 on the front side of the cabinet body 101 is closed, each sub-frame assembly 200 is inserted into the cabinet body 101, the second fusion fiber disc 235 in each sub-frame assembly 200 is in the closed state relative to the corresponding first fusion fiber disc 220, the two top posts 221 abut against the second fusion fiber disc 235, and the two second springs 239 are in the stretched state, as shown in Figure 14 Figure 15 The distance between the second limiting block 204 on the sliding seat 201 and the first limiting block 105 on the partition plate 103 is greater than the distance between the front end of the first fusion fiber disc 220 and the front end of the sliding seat 201, which ensures that the first fusion fiber disc 220 in the sub-frame assembly 200 can be completely pulled out of the cabinet body 101 and can freely rotate or swing around the first rotating sleeve 211 or the first round pin 208, the end of the wound optical cable 106 on the second fusion fiber disc 235 is stripped to expose the fiber core 107, the fiber core 107 transitions to the first fusion fiber disc 220 and is wound for a corresponding number of turns in the first clamping groove 225 and the second clamping groove 229 and is fixed in the corresponding third clamping groove 230, and the first tail fiber 109 is wound for a corresponding number of turns in the first clamping groove 225 and the second clamping groove 229 on the first fusion fiber disc 220 and is fixed in the corresponding fourth clamping groove 231. As shown in Figure 11 The end of the first tail fiber 109 is fusion spliced with the corresponding fiber core 107 at the position between the third clamping groove 230 and the fourth clamping groove 231, and the splicing point is wrapped with a sheath 112, and the wall of the sheath 112 is provided with a steel needle 113 to prevent the splicing point from breaking. The axes of the second round pin 214 and the third round pin 218 in the limiting assembly 252 are in the same plane as the axis of the second gear 213, and the first spring 216 is in the stretched state.

[0064] When two people need to check and repair the sub-frame assemblies 200 located in the same layer, if the distance between the two sub-frame assemblies 200 being checked or repaired by the two people at the same time in the same layer is greater than the maximum diameter edge size of the first fusion fiber disc 220 around the axis of the first rotating sleeve 211, after the fusion disc assemblies 219 of the two sub-frame assemblies 200 are completely pulled out, one of the fusion disc assemblies 219 is manually rotated by 180 degrees around the axis of the corresponding first rotating sleeve 211, so that the opening of the first fusion fiber disc 220 in the rotating fusion disc assembly 219 is opposite to the opening of the first fusion fiber disc 220 in the other sub-frame assembly 200, which facilitates the two repairers to repair or check the internal structures of the corresponding fusion disc assemblies 219 on both sides of the two first fusion fiber discs 220, respectively, without mutual interference since the two repairers are located on both sides of the two fusion disc assemblies 219.

[0065] ​If the distance between two sub-frame assemblies 200 being checked or repaired by two persons at the same time in the same layer is less than the maximum diameter edge size of the first fusing fiber disc 220 around the first rotating sleeve 211 axis, and if the connecting assembly 205 is the first connecting rod 206, then the two fusing fiber disc assemblies 219 are pulled out in sequence, first pull out the fusing fiber disc assembly 219 with the opening of the first fusing fiber disc 220 away from the corresponding repairer, and then rotate 180 degrees around the corresponding first rotating sleeve 211, so that the opening of the first fusing fiber disc 220 in the fusing fiber disc assembly 219 is opposite to the opening of the first fusing fiber disc 220 in the other fusing fiber disc assembly 219. Then pull out the fusing fiber disc assembly 219 of the other sub-frame assembly 200 completely, so that the two repairers can repair or check the internal structure of the corresponding fusing fiber disc assembly 219 on both sides of the two first fusing fiber discs 220 respectively, and there is no interference between the two repairers.

[0066] As shown in Figure 17 If the distance between two sub-frame assemblies 200 being checked or repaired by two persons at the same time in the same layer is less than the maximum diameter edge size of the first fusing fiber disc 220 around the first rotating sleeve 211 axis, and if the connecting assembly 205 is the second connecting rod 207 rotatingly hinged with the first rotating seat 209 on the slide 201 through the first round pin 208, then the two fusing fiber disc assemblies 219 can be pulled out simultaneously without sequence, and after the two fusing fiber disc assemblies 219 are pulled out completely, first rotate the fusing fiber disc assembly 219 in the sub-frame assembly 200 with the opening of the first fusing fiber disc 220 away from the corresponding repairer by 90 degrees in the direction away from the other fusing fiber disc assembly 219 around the corresponding first round pin 208, so that the opening direction of the first fusing fiber disc 220 in the fusing fiber disc assembly 219 with the opening of the first fusing fiber disc 220 away from the corresponding repairer is the same as the opening direction of the cabinet door 102 of the cabinet body 101, which is convenient for the corresponding repairer to repair and check the fusing fiber disc assembly 219 in front of the opening of the first fusing fiber disc 220, without affecting the repair and check of the corresponding fusing fiber disc assembly 219 by the repairer of the other fusing fiber disc assembly 219.

[0067] After the fusing fiber disc assembly 219 is pulled out completely, the second limiting block 204 on the slide 201 abuts against the first limiting block 105 on the corresponding two partitions 103 in the depth direction of the cabinet body 101, so as to ensure that the slide 201 does not separate from the sliding groove 104 on the partition 103.

[0068] During the rotation of the fiber melting tray assembly 219 relative to the slide block 201 around the axis of the first rotating sleeve 211, the first fiber melting tray 220 drives the first gear 212 to rotate 180 degrees through the first rotating sleeve 211. The first gear 212 drives the second gear 213 to rotate 360 ​​degrees. The second gear 213 drives the first spring 216 and the third rotating sleeve 217 to swing back and forth around the third pin 218 through the second round pin 214 and the second rotating sleeve 215 to complete the reset in sequence. During this process, the first spring 216 reciprocates once to restore the original state and makes the position of the second gear 213 complete the positioning, thereby making the entire fiber melting tray assembly 219 effectively positioned after rotating 180 degrees.

[0069] like Figure 13 As shown, when inspecting and repairing the internal structure of the fiber fusion tray assembly 219, the second fiber fusion tray 235 is manually opened. The second fiber fusion tray 235 swings 90 degrees around the fourth round pin 234. The fixing rod 233 prevents the second fiber fusion tray 235 from swinging more than 90 degrees. After the second fiber fusion tray 235 is opened 90 degrees, the two second springs 239 reach the other side of the fourth round pin 234 and position the open state of the second fiber fusion tray 235. The second springs 239 complete one reciprocating extension and retraction during the opening or closing of the second fiber fusion tray 235.

[0070] The baffles 224 on the first inner arc plate 223 and the second outer arc plate 226 respectively limit the fiber core 107 and the first tail fiber 109 in the first slot 225 and the second slot 229 to prevent the fiber core 107 and the first tail fiber 109 from falling out of the first slot 225 and the second slot 229. The outward flange on the upper edge of the second inner arc plate 228 can also ensure that the fiber core 107 and the first tail fiber 109 in the second slot 229 are disengaged from the second slot 229.

[0071] The baffles 224 on the third inner arc plate 244 and the fourth outer arc plate 246 respectively limit the fiber core 107 and the first tail fiber 109 in the fifth slot 245 and the sixth slot 248 to prevent the fiber core 107 and the first tail fiber 109 from falling out of the fifth slot 245 and the sixth slot 248. The outward flange on the upper edge of the fourth inner arc plate 247 can also ensure that the fiber core 107 and the first tail fiber 109 in the sixth slot 248 are disengaged from the sixth slot 248.
