Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of optical fiber storage devices, and in particular to a storage device that facilitates temperature control of optical fibers. Background Technology

[0002] Improper storage environment or operation during routine optical fiber storage may lead to increased fiber attenuation, shortened lifespan, or even complete failure. In order to ensure the stability of its transmission performance and long-term reliability, a qualified storage environment is very important for optical fibers.

[0003] In related technologies, temperature is a crucial indicator affecting the stability of optical fiber storage; frequent temperature fluctuations can lead to changes in internal stress within the fiber. Therefore, it is essential to ensure temperature stability during optical fiber storage. However, conventional optical fiber storage devices lack temperature control capabilities, especially for fibers stored outdoors where there are significant diurnal temperature variations and substantial temperature fluctuations. Under such storage conditions, it is difficult to guarantee the stability and long-term reliability of optical fiber transmission performance, thereby impacting the overall quality of the fiber's use. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a storage device that facilitates temperature regulation of optical fibers. The purpose is to enable timely and effective temperature regulation of optical fibers when there is a large temperature difference in the external environment, thereby ensuring that the temperature in the optical fiber storage environment remains within a relatively stable range and thus effectively guaranteeing the subsequent use quality of the optical fiber.

[0005] This application provides a storage device that facilitates temperature control of optical fibers, employing the following technical solution:

[0006] A storage device for facilitating temperature control of optical fibers includes two support frames, with a storage channel for storing optical fibers between the two support frames. The storage channel is composed of multiple U-shaped channels, and temperature control cavities are formed between adjacent channels. A temperature control port is provided at one end of the topmost temperature control cavity. The support frames are provided with air inlets and air outlets, and both the air inlets and air outlets are connected to the storage channel.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, compared to the traditional method of storing optical fibers by coiling them up like a mosquito coil, which causes large-angle bending and excessive bending that affects the stability of the fiber and is detrimental to its subsequent use, this storage channel minimizes bending of the fiber, significantly reducing the impact of excessive bending on fiber performance during storage.

[0008] When there is a large temperature difference between day and night and the optical fiber needs to be temperature-controlled, cold or hot air can be injected into the temperature-controlled cavity through the temperature-controlled port to regulate the temperature of the storage channel and the optical fiber within it. This effectively ensures that the optical fiber is always in a relatively stable environment during storage, thus ensuring the quality of subsequent use of the optical fiber.

[0009] By continuously ventilating the storage channel through air inlets and outlets, good ventilation can keep the temperature of optical fiber storage within a suitable range, which helps to extend its service life.

[0010] Preferably, a guide plate is installed at an angle at the air inlet, with the end of the guide plate away from the storage channel at a high position and the end of the guide plate closer to the storage channel at a low position.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the air inlet is precisely guided into the storage channel using the air guide plate, which helps to ensure the ventilation effect of the optical fiber during storage.

[0012] Preferably, a rotating plate is added to the side of the support frame away from the storage channel. The position of the rotating plate corresponds to the temperature control port. The rotating plate is used to control the connection or disconnection between the temperature control port and the outside world.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when the rotating plate is opened by rotating counterclockwise, the temperature control port is kept in contact with the outside. In this state, the corresponding cold air or hot air can be injected into the temperature control cavity from the temperature control port to complete the temperature control treatment of the optical fiber.

[0014] Preferably, a connecting rod is provided between the bottom of the rotating plate and the end of the guide plate near the storage channel.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, a connecting rod is used to connect the rotating plate and the guide plate. While the rotating plate rotates counterclockwise to connect the temperature control port to the outside environment, it simultaneously drives the guide plate to rotate counterclockwise. The purpose of this is to remove the guide plate, thereby effectively preventing the guide plate from interfering with the rotation of the rotating plate during its rotation, and thus ensuring the smooth rotation of the rotating plate.

[0016] As the rotating plate rotates from a vertical to a horizontal position, the temperature control port is fully connected to the outside environment, allowing cold or hot air to be injected into the temperature control cavity to regulate the temperature of the optical fiber. Simultaneously, the guide plate rotates from a horizontal to a vertical position during this process.

[0017] Preferably, the cross-section of the rotating plate perpendicular to the rotation axis is a right-angled triangle, and the side of the rotating plate near the storage channel is an inclined surface.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when the rotating plate rotates counterclockwise to a horizontal state, the inclined surface of the rotating plate acts as a guide plate. In this state, the end of the inclined surface away from the storage channel is at a high position, and the end of the inclined surface close to the storage channel is at a low position. The inclined surface of the rotating plate continues to guide the air at the air inlet into the storage channel.

[0019] During the counterclockwise rotation of the rotating plate to connect the temperature control port with the outside, although the guide plate is removed to avoid affecting the movement of the rotating plate, its inclined surface can continue to act as a guide plate after the rotating plate is rotated to a horizontal state. Thus, while performing temperature control on the storage channel and the optical fiber in the storage channel, it will not affect the normal ventilation of the optical fiber in the storage channel. This allows for simultaneous temperature control and ventilation of the optical fiber during storage, effectively ensuring the stability of the optical fiber during daily storage.

[0020] In traditional fiber optic storage, ventilation airflow can slightly affect the uniformity and stability of temperature control. To avoid this disturbance, ventilation is often paused during temperature adjustment, only to resume once the adjustment is complete. This makes the entire temperature adjustment and ventilation process cumbersome and cannot guarantee that the fiber optic cable will always be in a ventilated environment, which is detrimental to the stability of daily fiber optic storage.

[0021] In this embodiment, the inclined surface of the rotating plate can continue to function as a flow guide, so that while the storage channel and the optical fiber in the storage channel are subjected to temperature regulation, the normal ventilation of the optical fiber in the storage channel will not be affected. Thus, the temperature regulation and ventilation of the optical fiber during the storage process can be carried out simultaneously, effectively ensuring the stability of the optical fiber during daily storage.

[0022] Preferably, a rotating shaft is inserted horizontally at the end of the rotating plate away from the storage channel, and a driven gear is integrally fitted at the end of the rotating shaft. A dustproof box is installed vertically on one side of the support frame, and a driving rack is installed vertically inside the dustproof box. Both sides of the driving rack are toothed. One side of the driving rack is meshed with the driven gear, and a driving gear is meshed with the side of the driving rack away from the driven gear. A first knob is installed on the outside of the dustproof box, and the first knob is connected to the driving gear. The first knob is used to drive the driving gear to rotate.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, in specific operation, the first knob is turned clockwise to rotate the driving gear. During the rotation of the driving gear, the driving gear drives the driving rack to rise. During the rise of the driving rack, the driving gear drives the passive gear to rotate counterclockwise. At the same time, the passive gear rotates counterclockwise and drives the rotating plate to rotate counterclockwise through the rotating shaft until the temperature control port is completely connected to the outside.

[0024] Preferably, a push plate is provided in both of the support frames, the push plate is located at the bend of the storage channel, and the push plate is slidably arranged in the horizontal direction.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the storage channel is made of a flexible material, possessing elasticity. The sliding of the pressure plate compresses the bends in the storage channel, effectively adjusting the curvature of the bends and allowing for customization based on specific application requirements. For fibers with different performance characteristics, when the fiber's curvature within the storage channel is excessive, the pressure plate is slid closer to the storage channel. During this process, the pressure plate compresses the bends, reducing their curvature and thus minimizing fiber bending, effectively preventing damage from excessive bending.

[0026] Preferably, the push plate has a through-hole with an internal thread, and a push screw is inserted into the internal thread hole. A second knob is rotatably mounted on the outside of the support frame, and the second knob is connected to the push screw.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, specifically when adjusting the bending degree of the optical fiber, the second knob is rotated, which drives the push screw to rotate. During the rotation, the push screw drives the push plate to slide, thereby completing the adjustment of the bending degree at the bend of the storage channel.

[0028] Preferably, sealing plates are installed on both the front and rear sides of the storage channel, and a ventilation cavity is reserved between the sealing plates and the storage channel.

[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, the sealing plate effectively seals the periphery of the storage channel, preventing cold or hot air from leaking outwards during temperature regulation. Simultaneously, when cold or hot air enters the temperature regulation chamber to regulate the storage channel, the air is transferred to other parts of the storage channel through the ventilation chamber. This ensures that all parts of the storage channel can be effectively regulated, thereby improving the temperature regulation effect on both the storage channel and the optical fiber.

[0030] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0031] 1. The inclined surface of the rotating plate can continue to act as a flow guide, so that while the storage channel and the optical fiber in the storage channel are subjected to temperature control, the normal ventilation of the optical fiber in the storage channel will not be affected. Thus, temperature control and ventilation of the optical fiber can be carried out simultaneously during the storage process, effectively ensuring the stability of the optical fiber during daily storage.

[0032] 2. The storage channel is made of a flexible material, possessing elasticity. The sliding of a pressure plate compresses the bends in the storage channel, effectively adjusting the curvature of the bends and allowing for customization based on specific application requirements. For fibers with different performance characteristics, when the fiber's curvature within the storage channel is excessive, the pressure plate is slid closer to the storage channel. During this process, the pressure plate compresses the bends, reducing their curvature and thus minimizing fiber bending, effectively preventing damage from excessive bending.

[0033] 3. A sealing plate is used to seal the perimeter of the storage channel, effectively preventing cold or hot air from leaking out during temperature regulation. Simultaneously, when cold or hot air enters the temperature regulation chamber to regulate the storage channel, the air is transferred to other parts of the storage channel through the ventilation chamber. This ensures that all parts of the storage channel can be effectively regulated, thereby improving the temperature regulation effect on the storage channel and optical fiber.

[0040] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 5 This application will be described in further detail below.

[0041] Example:

[0042] This application discloses a storage device that facilitates temperature control of optical fibers, referring to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 It includes two support frames 1, each of which is rectangular in shape and is spaced apart horizontally. A storage channel 2 for storing optical fibers is installed between the two support frames 1. The storage channel 2 is composed of multiple U-shaped channels.

[0043] Compared to traditional fiber optic storage methods that involve coiling the fiber like a mosquito coil, which causes significant bending and affects stability, this storage channel 2 minimizes bending during storage, reducing the impact of excessive bending on fiber performance.

[0044] At the same time, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 A temperature-regulating cavity 3 is formed between adjacent channels of storage channel 2. The end of the temperature-regulating cavity 3 is provided with a temperature-regulating port 4. When the temperature difference between day and night is large and the optical fiber needs to be temperature-regulated, the corresponding cold air or hot air can be injected into the temperature-regulating cavity 3 through the temperature-regulating port 4, thereby regulating the temperature of storage channel 2 and the optical fiber in storage channel 2. This can effectively ensure that the optical fiber is always in a relatively stable environment during storage, and thus effectively ensure the quality of subsequent use of the optical fiber.

[0045] At the same time, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 The support frame 1 is equipped with an air inlet 5 and an air outlet 6. Both the air inlet 5 and the air outlet 6 are connected to the storage channel 2. The air inlet 5 and the air outlet 6 continuously ventilate the storage channel 2. Good ventilation can control the temperature of the optical fiber during storage within a suitable range, which is beneficial to extending its service life.

[0046] Furthermore, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 A guide plate 7 is installed at an angle at the air inlet 5 of the support frame 1. The end of the guide plate 7 away from the storage channel 2 is at a higher position, and the end of the guide plate 7 closer to the storage channel 2 is at a lower position. The guide plate 7 is used to accurately guide the air at the air inlet 5 into the storage channel 2, which helps to ensure the ventilation effect of the optical fiber during storage.

[0047] Furthermore, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2as well as Figure 3 A rotating plate 8 is vertically mounted on the side of the support frame 1 away from the storage channel 2, and the position of the rotating plate 8 corresponds to the temperature control port 4. When the rotating plate 8 is rotated counterclockwise to open, the temperature control port 4 is connected to the outside. In this state, cold or hot air can be injected into the temperature control cavity 3 from the temperature control port 4 to complete the temperature control treatment of the optical fiber.

[0048] The rotation of the rotating plate 8 controls the connection and disconnection between the temperature control port 4 and the outside world.

[0049] Furthermore, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 A connecting rod 9 connects the bottom of the rotating plate 8 and the end of the guide plate 7 near the storage channel 2, thus connecting the rotating plate 8 and the guide plate 7. While the rotating plate 8 rotates counterclockwise to connect the temperature control port 4 to the outside, it simultaneously drives the guide plate 7 to rotate counterclockwise. This is done to remove the guide plate 7, effectively preventing the guide plate 7 from interfering with the rotation of the rotating plate 8 during its rotation, thereby ensuring the smooth rotation of the rotating plate 8.

[0050] As the rotating plate 8 rotates from a vertical position to a horizontal position, the temperature regulating port 4 is fully connected to the outside world, allowing cold or hot air to be injected into the temperature regulating cavity 3 to regulate the temperature of the optical fiber. Simultaneously, the guide plate 7 rotates from a horizontal to a vertical position during this process.

[0051] Furthermore, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 The cross section of the rotating plate 8 perpendicular to the rotating axis is a right triangle. The side of the rotating plate 8 near the storage channel 2 is an inclined surface 10. When the rotating plate 8 rotates counterclockwise to a horizontal state, the inclined surface 10 of the rotating plate 8 acts as a guide plate 7. In this state, the end of the inclined surface 10 away from the storage channel 2 is at a high position, and the end of the inclined surface 10 near the storage channel 2 is at a low position. The inclined surface 10 of the rotating plate 8 continues to guide the air at the air inlet 5 into the storage channel 2.

[0052] During the counterclockwise rotation of the rotating plate 8 to connect the temperature control port 4 with the outside, although the guide plate 7 is moved away to avoid affecting the movement of the rotating plate 8, after the rotating plate 8 is rotated to a horizontal state, its inclined surface 10 can continue to act as the guide plate 7. Thus, while performing temperature control on the storage channel 2 and the optical fiber in the storage channel 2, it will not affect the normal ventilation of the optical fiber in the storage channel 2. This enables the simultaneous temperature control and ventilation of the optical fiber during the storage process, effectively ensuring the stability of the optical fiber during daily storage.

[0053] In traditional fiber optic storage, ventilation airflow can slightly affect the uniformity and stability of temperature control. To avoid this disturbance, ventilation is often paused during temperature adjustment, only to resume once the adjustment is complete. This makes the entire temperature adjustment and ventilation process cumbersome and cannot guarantee that the fiber optic cable will always be in a ventilated environment, which is detrimental to the stability of daily fiber optic storage.

[0054] In this embodiment, the inclined surface 10 of the rotating plate 8 can continue to function as the flow guide plate 7, so that while the storage channel 2 and the optical fiber in the storage channel 2 are subjected to temperature regulation, the normal ventilation of the optical fiber in the storage channel 2 will not be affected. Thus, the temperature regulation and ventilation of the optical fiber during the storage process can be carried out simultaneously, effectively ensuring the stability of the optical fiber during daily storage.

[0055] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 A rotating plate 8, located away from the storage channel 2, has a corresponding rotating shaft inserted horizontally at one end. A driven gear 11 is integrally fitted onto the rotating shaft. Simultaneously, a dustproof box 12 is installed vertically on one side of the support frame 1. Inside the dustproof box 12, a drive rack 13 is installed vertically. Both sides of the drive rack 13 are toothed. One side of the drive rack 13 meshes with the driven gear 11, and the side of the drive rack 13 away from the driven gear 11 meshes with a driving gear 14. A first knob 15 is installed on the outside of the dustproof box 12. The first knob 15 is connected to the driving gear 14 via a corresponding rotating shaft, and the first knob 15 drives the driving gear 14 to rotate.

[0056] In specific operation, the drive gear 14 is rotated clockwise by the first knob 15. During the rotation, the drive gear 14 drives the drive rack 13 to rise. During the rise, the drive rack 13 drives the passive gear 11 to rotate counterclockwise. At the same time, the passive gear 11 rotates counterclockwise through the rotating shaft, driving the rotating plate 8 to rotate counterclockwise until the temperature control port 4 is completely connected to the outside.

[0057] Furthermore, referring to Figure 3 Both support frames 1 are equipped with push plates 16. The push plates 16 are rectangular in shape, vertically arranged, located at the bend of the storage channel 2, and slide horizontally.

[0058] In this embodiment, the storage channel 2 is made of a flexible material, possessing elasticity. The sliding of the pressure plate 16 compresses the bends in the storage channel 2, effectively adjusting the curvature of the bends and allowing for adjustment of the fiber's bending degree according to specific usage conditions. For fibers with different performance characteristics, when the fiber's bending within the storage channel 2 is excessive, the pressure plate 16 is slid closer to the storage channel 2. During this process, the pressure plate 16 compresses the bends in the storage channel 2, reducing the curvature and thus minimizing fiber bending, effectively preventing damage to the fiber due to excessive bending.

[0059] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 The push plate 16 has a through-hole with an internal thread, and a push screw 17 is inserted into the internal thread. A second knob 18 is rotatably mounted on the outside of the support frame 1, and the second knob 18 is connected to the push screw 17. Specifically, when adjusting the bending degree of the optical fiber, the second knob 18 is rotated, which drives the push screw 17 to rotate. During the rotation, the push screw 17 drives the push plate 16 to slide, thereby completing the adjustment of the bending degree at the bend of the storage channel 2.

[0060] Furthermore, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 Sealing plates 19 are installed on both the front and rear sides of the storage channel 2. These sealing plates 19 seal the perimeter of the storage channel 2, effectively preventing cold or hot air leakage during temperature regulation. Simultaneously, a ventilation cavity 20 is provided between the sealing plate 19 and the storage channel 2. When cold or hot air enters the temperature regulation cavity 3 to regulate the temperature of the storage channel 2, the ventilation cavity 20 facilitates the transfer of the air to other parts of the storage channel 2. This ensures effective temperature regulation for all parts of the storage channel 2, thereby improving the overall temperature regulation effect on the storage channel 2 and the optical fiber.

[0061] The implementation principle of a storage device that facilitates temperature control of optical fibers according to an embodiment of this application is as follows:

[0062] Compared to traditional fiber optic storage methods that involve coiling the fiber like a mosquito coil, which causes significant bending and affects stability, this storage channel 2 minimizes bending during storage, reducing the impact of excessive bending on fiber performance.

[0063] Meanwhile, a temperature regulating cavity 3 is formed between adjacent channels of storage channel 2. The end of the temperature regulating cavity 3 is provided with a temperature regulating port 4. When the temperature difference between day and night is large and the optical fiber needs to be temperature regulated, the corresponding cold air or hot air can be injected into the temperature regulating cavity 3 through the temperature regulating port 4, thereby regulating the temperature of storage channel 2 and the optical fiber in storage channel 2. This can effectively ensure that the optical fiber is always in a relatively stable environment during storage, and thus effectively ensure the quality of subsequent use of the optical fiber.

[0064] Meanwhile, the support frame 1 is equipped with an air inlet 5 and an air outlet 6, both of which are connected to the storage channel 2. The air inlet 5 and the air outlet 6 continuously ventilate the storage channel 2. Good ventilation can control the temperature of the optical fiber during storage within a suitable range, which is beneficial to extending its service life.

[0065] Furthermore, a guide plate 7 is installed at an angle at the air inlet 5 of the support frame 1. The end of the guide plate 7 away from the storage channel 2 is at a higher position, and the end of the guide plate 7 closer to the storage channel 2 is at a lower position. The guide plate 7 is used to precisely guide the air at the air inlet 5 into the storage channel 2, which helps to ensure the ventilation effect of the optical fiber during storage.

[0066] Furthermore, a rotating plate 8 is added vertically to the side of the support frame 1 away from the storage channel 2, and the position of the rotating plate 8 corresponds to the temperature control port 4. When the rotating plate 8 is rotated counterclockwise to open, the temperature control port 4 is connected to the outside. In this state, cold air or hot air can be injected into the temperature control cavity 3 from the temperature control port 4 to complete the temperature control treatment of the optical fiber.

[0067] The rotation of the rotating plate 8 controls the connection and disconnection between the temperature control port 4 and the outside world.

[0068] Furthermore, a connecting rod 9 connects the bottom of the rotating plate 8 and the end of the guide plate 7 near the storage channel 2, thereby connecting the rotating plate 8 and the guide plate 7. While the rotating plate 8 rotates counterclockwise to connect the temperature control port 4 to the outside, it simultaneously drives the guide plate 7 to rotate counterclockwise. This is done to remove the guide plate 7, effectively preventing the guide plate 7 from interfering with the rotation of the rotating plate 8 during its rotation, thus ensuring the smooth rotation of the rotating plate 8.

[0069] As the rotating plate 8 rotates from a vertical position to a horizontal position, the temperature regulating port 4 is fully connected to the outside world, allowing cold or hot air to be injected into the temperature regulating cavity 3 to regulate the temperature of the optical fiber. Simultaneously, the guide plate 7 rotates from a horizontal to a vertical position during this process.

[0070] Furthermore, the cross section of the rotating plate 8 perpendicular to the rotating axis is a right-angled triangle. The side of the rotating plate 8 near the storage channel 2 is an inclined surface 10. When the rotating plate 8 rotates counterclockwise to a horizontal state, the inclined surface 10 of the rotating plate 8 acts as a guide plate 7. In this state, the end of the inclined surface 10 away from the storage channel 2 is at a high position, and the end of the inclined surface 10 near the storage channel 2 is at a low position. The inclined surface 10 of the rotating plate 8 continues to guide the air at the air inlet 5 into the storage channel 2.

[0071] During the counterclockwise rotation of the rotating plate 8 to connect the temperature control port 4 with the outside, although the guide plate 7 is moved away to avoid affecting the movement of the rotating plate 8, after the rotating plate 8 is rotated to a horizontal state, its inclined surface 10 can continue to act as the guide plate 7. Thus, while performing temperature control on the storage channel 2 and the optical fiber in the storage channel 2, it will not affect the normal ventilation of the optical fiber in the storage channel 2. This enables the simultaneous temperature control and ventilation of the optical fiber during the storage process, effectively ensuring the stability of the optical fiber during daily storage.

[0072] In traditional fiber optic storage, ventilation airflow can slightly affect the uniformity and stability of temperature control. To avoid this disturbance, ventilation is often paused during temperature adjustment, only to resume once the adjustment is complete. This makes the entire temperature adjustment and ventilation process cumbersome and cannot guarantee that the fiber optic cable will always be in a ventilated environment, which is detrimental to the stability of daily fiber optic storage.

[0073] In this embodiment, the inclined surface 10 of the rotating plate 8 can continue to function as the flow guide plate 7, so that while the storage channel 2 and the optical fiber in the storage channel 2 are subjected to temperature regulation, the normal ventilation of the optical fiber in the storage channel 2 will not be affected. Thus, the temperature regulation and ventilation of the optical fiber during the storage process can be carried out simultaneously, effectively ensuring the stability of the optical fiber during daily storage.

[0074] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
