[0022] In order to make those skilled in the art better understand the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below in combination with specific embodiments and drawings.

[0023] The terms used in the present application are those general terms currently widely used in the art in consideration of the functions about the present application, but these terms can be changed according to the intention of those skilled in the art, precedents or new technologies in the art. In addition, specific terms can be selected by the applicant, and in this case, the detailed meaning thereof will be described in the detailed description of the present application. Therefore, the terms used in the specification should not be understood as simple names, but based on the meaning of the terms and the overall description of the present application.

[0024] Referring to Figures 1-3 , the present embodiment provides a handheld electric disc fiber device, comprising a winding assembly 1 for automatically winding the optical fiber, comprising a protective shell 11, a rotating shaft 12 is arranged in the protective shell 11, one end of the rotating shaft 12 is rotatably arranged in the protective shell 11, the other end of the rotating shaft 12 penetrates the protective shell 11, and the optical fiber is wound on the rotating shaft 12 in the protective shell 11 for winding protection.

[0025] The protective shell 11 is provided with a through hole 15 for the optical fiber to pass through. The through hole 15 is located directly above the protective shell 11, and by arranging the through hole 15, the optical fiber interface can be ensured to be located directly above at all times, which facilitates the search for the optical fiber interface and has a simple and practical structure.

[0026] The protective shell 11 is provided with a motor 13, the telescopic end of the motor 13 extends into the protective shell 11 and is connected with the rotating shaft 12, for driving the rotating shaft 12 to rotate.

[0027] A volute spring 14 is provided on the outside of the protective shell 11. The inner end of the volute spring 14 is connected to the end of the rotating shaft 12 extending out of the protective shell 11, and the outer end of the volute spring 14 is connected to the protective shell 11. When the rotating shaft 12 rotates, the volute spring 14 is driven to reel.

[0028] In summary, the optical fiber can be pulled out through the through hole 15, and the optical fiber drives the rotating shaft 12 to rotate, and the rotation of the rotating shaft 12 drives the spiral spring 14 to rewind. After cutting the optical fiber of the required length, the optical fiber protection connector is installed at the optical fiber cutting port remaining after cutting; when it needs to be stored, the optical fiber cutting end is loosened, and the rotating shaft 12 rotates in the opposite direction under the resetting and stretching action of the spiral spring 14 to recycle the optical fiber. It has the characteristics of easy optical fiber arrangement, easy line output, and simple structure. It automatically recycles on-site maintenance optical fiber to ensure that the optical fiber is effectively preserved before and after use, greatly reducing the optical fiber loss rate. The storage tray can store about 30 meters of optical fiber, which makes up for the shortcomings of the existing wiring method; when the optical fiber is recovered, the optical fiber protection connector is connected to ensure that the optical port is kept clean during the storage process, thereby increasing the service life of the optical fiber.

[0029] As an optional embodiment, a rubber ring 2 is installed within through-hole 15 to cushion and protect the optical fiber passing through it. The optical fiber is reeled in under the reset action of spiral spring 14. The optical fiber passes through rubber ring 2 and is reeled onto shaft 12. Rubber ring 2 cushions the movement of the optical fiber, preventing violent reeling. The presence of rubber ring 2 prevents damage to the optical fiber due to prolonged stress during the retraction process. The motorized retraction system allows for quick and efficient retraction, saving time and effort.

[0030] As an optional embodiment, the outer end surface of the protective shell 11 is provided with a support leg 3 for supporting the winding assembly 1. Two support legs 3 are provided side by side, and the two support legs 3 are symmetrically distributed about the central axis of the winding assembly 1, which can provide stable support for the winding assembly 1. Figure 1 As can be seen, the protective shell 11 is cylindrical. If the protective shell 11 is placed directly, it is not convenient to stably place the winding assembly 1. The support legs 3 can ensure the stable placement of the winding assembly 1 and prevent the winding assembly 1 from rolling or sliding. The support legs 3 are rod-shaped structures, which can effectively reduce the weight of the entire device while providing support for the entire device.

[0031] As an optional embodiment, a handle 4 is provided on the outer end surface of the protective shell 11, and a connecting rod 5 is provided on the handle 4 to connect with the support leg 3. The handle 4 adopts an ergonomic design, which makes it more comfortable for the user to hold the handle 4, making the winding assembly 1 handheld and more convenient to transport. The handle 4 is located directly above the protective shell 11, making it easy to lift the handle 4.

[0032] As an optional embodiment, the handle 4 is provided with a protective sleeve 41. The handle 4 can be wrapped by the protective sleeve 41, improving the comfort of the user extracting the winding assembly 1.

[0033] As an optional embodiment, a moving assembly 6 is further included, which is rotationally arranged on the support leg 3 and used to drive the winding assembly 1 to move. The moving assembly 6 includes a connecting rod and fixing wheels arranged at both ends of the connecting rod. The connecting rod is rotationally arranged on the support leg 3, so that the fixing wheels can rotate relative to the support leg 3. The moving assembly 6 can be directly rotationally arranged on the roller of the support leg 3. The movement of the device is realized by the direct rotation of the roller, which is labor-saving.

[0034] As an optional embodiment, one end of the winding assembly 1 is provided with a lifting rod 7, which is fixedly connected with the support leg 3. The lifting rod 7 can be used by workers of different heights. The lifting rod 7 is pulled to drive the moving assembly 6 to rotate, so that the winding assembly 1 can be moved, thereby saving the force required to move the winding assembly 1. The lifting rod 7 is a prior art, which can be a luggage handle structure and can be telescopic and winding. The motor 13 is located at the lifting rod 7 and connected with the outer surface of the motor 13, which can further fix the lifting rod 7 and make the installation of the lifting rod 7 more stable. The two rods of the lifting rod 7 are located on both sides of the motor 13, which can wrap and protect the motor 13.

[0035] As an optional embodiment, both ends of the protective shell 11 are provided with flange plates 8. The flange plate 8 away from the lifting rod 7 is provided with a mounting groove, which is located on the side of the flange plate 8 away from the protective shell 11 and connected with the inner wall of the mounting groove. Since the diameter of the flange plate 8 is greater than that of the protective shell 11, the area for installing the volute spring 14 can be increased by arranging the flange plate 8, so that there is enough space for installing and fixing the volute spring 14, which is convenient for installing the volute spring 14. The motor 13 is directly installed on the flange plate 8, and the protective shell 11 is only a shell for protecting the optical fiber wound in the protective shell 11. The flange plate 8 has a certain thickness and can support the installation of the motor 13. Even if welding or bolt locking is required, it will not cause the deformation of the flange plate 8. When external force is received, the flange plates 8 arranged at both ends can improve the overall strength of the winding assembly 1, reduce the probability of deformation of the protective shell 11, and avoid the deformation of the protective shell 11 after the deformation of the internal optical fiber, which makes it difficult to extract and use the optical fiber, so that the overall strength of the device is improved and can adapt to various transportation environments.

[0036] As an optional embodiment, the protection part 9 is further included, which comprises a sealing ring 91 arranged in the mounting groove, and a protection cover 92 matched and pressed on the sealing ring 91, and the sealing ring 91 is provided with a dismounting opening 911 for dismounting the protection cover 92. The inner circumferential surface of the sealing ring 91 is tightly sealed by the arranged protection cover 92, and the volute spring 14 is protected in the mounting groove. When the protection cover 92 needs to be dismounted, the protection cover 92 is pried from the dismounting opening 911 by using a screwdriver or other rod-shaped object, so that the protection cover 92 can be dismounted. The dismounting structure is simple. The volute spring 14 is covered and protected by the arranged protection cover 92, so that the volute spring 14 is not directly protected outside, the probability of damage of the volute spring 14 is greatly reduced, and the volute spring 14 is shielded by the protection cover 92, so that the installation position of the volute spring 14 is covered by the whole protection cover 92, and the appearance of the device is improved.

[0037] As an optional embodiment, the protection shell 11 is dismountably provided with an inspection plate 16. The winding condition of the optical fiber can be observed by arranging the inspection plate 16. The inspection plate 16 is covered in the normal state, and when the optical fiber in the protection shell 11 needs to be checked and observed, the inspection plate 16 is opened, so that the condition of the optical fiber in the protection shell 11 can be observed without damaging the protection shell 11.

[0038] In summary, the optical fiber can be pulled out through the through hole 15, the optical fiber drives the rotating shaft 12 to rotate, the rotating shaft 12 drives the volute spring 14 to wind, and after the optical fiber of the required length is cut off, the optical fiber protection connector is installed at the cut-off end of the remaining optical fiber. When it needs to be stored, the optical fiber cutting end is loosened, the rotating shaft 12 is reversely rotated to recover the optical fiber under the reset and stretching action of the volute spring 14, the optical fiber is recovered into the protection shell 11 through the rubber ring 2 first, the movement of the optical fiber is slowed down by the rubber ring 2, the optical fiber is buffered and protected, and then the optical fiber is stably wound in the rotating shaft 12, so that violent winding of the optical fiber is avoided, damage of the external fiber of the optical fiber is avoided, the optical fiber is easily arranged and easily taken out, the structure is simple, the on-site maintenance optical fiber is automatically recovered, the optical fiber is effectively stored before and after use, the optical fiber breakage rate is greatly reduced, the storage disc can store about 30 meters of optical fiber, and the shortcomings of the existing arrangement method are well compensated. When the optical fiber is recovered, the optical fiber protection connector is connected, so that the optical port is kept clean during the storage process, and the service life of the optical fiber is improved.

[0039] The support leg 3 can make the winding assembly 1 stably placed, avoiding rolling and sliding of the winding assembly 1; since the diameter value of the flange plate 8 is greater than the diameter value of the protective shell 11, the flange plate 8 can increase the area for installing the volute spring 14, facilitating installation of the volute spring 14; the protective cover 92 is arranged to compress and seal the inner circumferential surface of the sealing ring 91, and then the volute spring 14 is protected in the installation groove, the protective cover 92 can be disassembled through the disassembly opening 911, and the volute spring 14 can be disassembled and installed, which is simple in structure and convenient to operate.

[0040] It should finally be noted that the methods and devices described in detail above are merely embodiments, which can be modified in different ways by a person skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention.
