Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of optical connector dehumidifiers, and in particular relates to an optical connector dehumidifier. Background Art

[0002] Optical connector dehumidifier is a device used to dry optical connectors. Optical active connectors, commonly known as live connectors, are reusable passive devices used to connect two optical fibers or optical cables to form a continuous optical path. They have been widely used in optical fiber transmission lines, optical fiber distribution frames, and optical fiber test instruments and meters. They are the most used optical passive devices. To a certain extent, optical fiber connectors also affect the reliability and performance of optical transmission systems. When installing any optical fiber system, it is necessary to consider connecting optical fibers or optical cables to each other in a low-loss manner to achieve the continuation of the optical link. The continuation of optical fiber links can be divided into two types: permanent and active. Permanent continuation is mostly achieved by fusion splicing, bonding or fixed connectors; active continuation is generally achieved by active connectors.

[0003] In the related art, the current optical connector dehumidifier directly places the connector inside the heating zone of the dehumidifier when in use, and starts the heating fan inside the device to perform hot air drying. However, when the currently used dehumidifier dehumidifies the optical connector, by directly placing the connector, a part of the connector is likely to be against the inner wall of the heating zone, resulting in a blind spot during drying, that is, it is easy to cause incomplete drying and heating. In addition, the heating zone of the current dehumidifier is in an open state, the hot air dissipates quickly, and the drying efficiency is not high. Utility Model Content
