Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of optical fiber resource management, and particularly to an intelligent management terminal that supports multi-channel reading of electronic tags. Background Art
[0002] With the development of digital technology, the patch cord management mode of traditional optical fiber networks has gradually transitioned from the paper label management stage to the digital patch cord management stage, avoiding the messy, disorderly, and unsightly phenomena at the label management site. Currently, the patch cord management solutions in operation at this stage include: attaching an RFID tag to each port of each fusion and distribution tray, and also attaching an RFID tag to the patch cord end at the same position, or only attaching an RFID tag to the patch cord end, to achieve digital patch cord management of the ports, or to perform active transformation on the ports to automatically identify the patch cords inserted into the ports, solving the problem of managing dumb optical fiber resources.
[0003] The existing solutions in the prior art are as follows: As Figure 1 In the shown solution, the tray 101 has multiple ports, and only an RFID tag 104 is attached to the patch cord end for unique identification. It is free from the ports. The antenna head 102 on the tag reader 103 reads the tag on the patch cord end. During construction, which port of which tray the patch cord is finally inserted into is completely selected, information filled in, and submitted manually, that is, manually bound. Manual selection is prone to errors; and the accuracy of the current construction cannot be verified, and manual verification is required later.
[0004] As Figure 2 In the shown solution, the tray 201 has multiple ports, an RFID tag 204 for the patch cord is attached to the patch cord end for unique identification, and a port RFID tag 205 is also set at each port on the tray. The antenna head 202 on the tag reader 203 reads the tag on the patch cord end. During construction, the port RFID tag and the patch cord RFID are bound by reading through the tag reader. In the early stage, each port RFID tag of each tray needs to be read one by one for initial information collection, and the collection efficiency is extremely low.
[0005] According to Figure 2 In the shown solution, taking the active intelligent transformation of a 12-core fusion and distribution tray as an example, another prior art solution will be described below.
[0006] For an ordinary 12-core integrated fusion and distribution tray, according to the existing technical solution, the solution for transforming it into an intelligent integrated fusion and distribution tray is as Figure 3As shown in the figure, on the one hand, it is necessary to add a fiber optic pigtail electronic tag 301 to the fiber optic pigtail that matches the port; on the other hand, it is necessary to add a circuit control board 302 with 12 ports. In addition, the original cover of the 12-core fusion splicing integrated tray also needs to be re-molded and transformed into an intelligent plastic cover 303 that can install the circuit control board 2. When it comes to the overall transformation of the ODF, it is also necessary to add a main controller and networking equipment. The overall transformation cost is high and the on-site construction volume is large.
[0007] Therefore, the existing technology needs to calibrate each port by loading an RFID electronic tag, or needs to load a reading and identifying circuit for active transformation. There are problems such as great transformation difficulty, high cost, low subsequent installation and maintenance efficiency, and low transformation efficiency. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Description of the Embodiments
[0021] The following details the specific embodiments of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0022] Embodiment 1: A handheld reading tool. Refer to Figures 4 - 7 , the label reading device 1 includes a housing 2, a main circuit board 3 is provided inside the housing 2, and a first interface connected to the main circuit board 3 is provided on the housing 2.
[0023] The housing 2 includes a housing body 21 and a base 22, which are adapted and fixedly connected. It can be understood that the housing shown in this embodiment is only a typical design. In some other embodiments, the housing body 21 and the base 22 can be disassembled up and down or front and back. A film 23 is provided on the surface of the housing body 21.
[0024] The main circuit board 3 includes an MCU board 4 and a tag reading board 5, which are electrically connected. It should be understood that the main circuit board 3 can be a single whole circuit board or multiple electrically connected circuit boards. In this embodiment, as Figures 6 - 7 shown, the MCU board 4 and the tag reading board 5 are two electrically connected circuit boards to save installation space. The MCU board 4 is provided with an MCU chip, a display screen 41, a communication unit, a buzzer 42, a key 44, and a charging or data interface 43. The tag reading device is in wired or wireless communication connection with a separately provided intelligent terminal through the communication unit. It should be understood that the key can be one or more, and on the surface of the housing 21, or formed by die-casting, or printed, or film-coated with operation key indication marks.
[0025] In this embodiment, the housing 2 is provided with a rechargeable battery 6 for supplying power to the main circuit board 3. In some other embodiments, the tag reading device can also be powered by an external power source such as the OTG of an intelligent terminal.
[0026] The first interface has a first mechanical fixing device and a first electrical connection device, and the first electrical connection device is electrically connected to the tag reading board. This first interface is arranged at the top of the tag reading device.
[0027] Embodiment 2: A handheld reading tool. Referring to Figures 4 - 8 , on the basis of Embodiment 1, it further includes at least one tag reading probe board 7. The tag reading probe board 7 is used to connect to the tag reading device 1 through the first interface on the tag reading device 1.
[0028] The tag reading probe board 7 is provided with a number of first probes with the same layout rules as the adapter optical fiber tray port group. The first probes are used to read or rewrite the electronic tags inserted on the tray terminals; the tag reading probe board is also provided with second probes for reading or rewriting the group tags on the optical fiber tray; when the tag reading probe board is connected to the intelligent management terminal host, the first probes and the second probes are electrically connected to the intelligent management terminal host.
[0029] The group tags refer to the electronic tags set on the optical fiber tray, which contain the ID information of all ports on the optical fiber tray.
[0030] The tag reading probe board 7 is also provided with a second interface. The second interface has a second mechanical fixing device and a second electrical connection device, and the second electrical connection device is electrically connected to the probe. The first interface and the second interface are adapted, and the first mechanical fixing device and the first electrical connection device are respectively adapted to the second mechanical fixing device and the second electrical connection device.
[0031] In this embodiment, the first interface and the second interface are designed in the form of male and female interfaces. Specifically, the first interface is a female port and the second interface is a male port. The first mechanical fixing device and the second mechanical fixing device are a matching groove and plug structure, and the first electrical connection device and the second electrical connection device are matching conductors.
[0032] A coil is provided inside the probe, and the coil is electrically connected to the second electrical connection device in the second interface; this coil is used to read the label. The power supply of the coil is provided by the label reading device 1, and the parsing and writing of the label data are both realized in the label reading device 1. There is no need to set a power supply and a data processing chip inside the label reading probe board 7, which is beneficial to realizing at low cost.
[0033] As Figure 9 , the probe on the label reading probe board 7 corresponds to the label 9 on the optical fiber tray and the label 8 on the pigtail, so as to read the label 9 on the optical fiber tray and the label 8 on the pigtail at one time.
[0034] As Figure 9 , at least one positioning structure is provided on the label reading probe board, and this positioning structure is adapted to the port side of at least one type of optical fiber tray. For example, taking the tray shown in Figure 9 as an example, the port side of the tray has a serrated structure, and a serrated positioning structure is provided on the label reading probe board. The probe on the label reading probe board corresponds to the label provided on the optical fiber tray and the label on the pigtail. The label reading probe board 7 can read the label provided on the optical fiber tray and the label on the pigtail at one time, realizing the acquisition of the optical fiber tray port and the pigtail information, which is beneficial to the rapid reading of the port and the pigtail and convenient for installation and maintenance.
[0035] As Figure 9 , the label reading probe board is a biased T-shaped or L-shaped, including a detection part and a connection part. The probe is arranged on the detection part, and the second interface is arranged on the connection part. The connection part is biased to one side of the detection part, and moreover, the connection part is biased on the detection part on the side opposite to the pigtail routing direction on the optical fiber tray. As shown in Figure 9 , the pigtail routing direction is to the left, and the connection part is biased to the right side of the detection part. Such a setting can avoid the interference of the pigtail on the operation.
[0036] One side of the label reading probe board is provided with a probe, and the probe signal can penetrate the label reading probe board, that is, the thickness of the label reading probe board is within a limited range, and there is no metal material structure or parts on the back of the probe; or, probes are provided on both sides of the label reading probe board. Using the above two schemes can realize the bilateral use of the label reading probe board. The reading probe board in the first state, as Figure 9As shown, the left-facing tray is read. The labels from left to right on the tray are 1, 2, 3, ……, 12 and the tray label. When the reading probe board is flipped, it becomes the second state and can read the right-facing tray. The labels from left to right are 1, 2, 3, ……, 12 and the tray label.
[0037] When facing trays of the same size but different fiber jumper routing directions (left-facing or right-facing), the same reading board can achieve the effect of "one for two" through flipping operation, which can effectively improve the applicability of the label reading probe board.
[0038] It can be understood that the labels mentioned in this embodiment can be RFID labels or EID labels.
[0039] Embodiment Three: A portable all-in-one machine includes a processor, a display unit, and a label reading board. The label reading board is connected to the processor, and a first interface is provided on or connected to the label reading board.
[0040] It also includes the same label reading probe board 7 as in Embodiment Two.
[0041] In this embodiment, the label reading terminal can be obtained by modifying a smart terminal such as a smart phone, and adding a label reading board and a first interface to the smart phone. The label reading board and the first interface are integrated in a casing and fixed to the smart phone.
[0042] Embodiment Four: A smart management terminal supporting multi-channel reading of electronic tags, refer to Figure 10 , includes a smart management terminal host and at least one label reading probe board that can be connected to the smart management terminal host; the label reading probe board is provided with a number of first probes having the same layout rule as the adapter fiber tray port group. The first probes are used to read or rewrite the electronic tags on the inserted tray terminals; the label reading probe board is also provided with second probes for reading or rewriting the group labels on the fiber tray; when the label reading probe board is connected to the smart management terminal host, the first probes and the second probes are electrically connected to the smart management terminal host.
[0043] The smart management terminal host is a portable all-in-one machine, which is the same as that in Embodiment Three, or a combination of a handheld reading tool and a smart terminal. The handheld reading tool and the smart terminal are connected by wire or wirelessly. The wireless connection method is Bluetooth or WIFI. The handheld reading tool is the same as that in Embodiment Two, and the smart terminal can be a dedicated smart terminal or composed of a general smart phone loaded with an APP.
[0044] The intelligent management terminal host is communicatively connected to the background network management to deliver information such as port status, work orders, and alarms. The intelligent management terminal host has group port status, such as the visual display of work order and alarm guidelines, and this visualization can be presented on the handheld reading tool and / or intelligent terminal. The intelligent management terminal host has a sound prompt for scanning status, work order, and alarm guidelines, and this prompt is on the handheld reading tool and / or intelligent terminal. The main circuit board can be split into a label reading board and an MCU board, and the two boards are electrically connected. The main circuit board can be equipped with a rechargeable battery or powered by an external device such as the OTG of an intelligent terminal.
[0045] The intelligent management terminal described above can be used for fiber optic pigtail pairing, and the steps are as follows: Identify the electronic label at one end of one or more fiber optic pigtails through the adapted label reading probe board; Rewrite the electronic label at the other end of one or more fiber optic pigtails through the adapted label reading probe board to achieve the pairing of the connectors at both ends of the fiber optic pigtail.
[0046] During fiber optic construction, each of the connectors at both ends of the fiber optic pigtail has an electronic label. The ID information of the electronic label at the other end can be rewritten according to the ID information of the electronic label at one end to achieve pigtail pairing.
[0047] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present application. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the inventive concept of the present application, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
