[0040] The present application provides an optical network unit 100, such as Figure 1 As shown, including:

[0041] A fixing bracket 1, wherein a screw hole 10 is provided on the fixing bracket 1;

[0042] The unit body 2 includes a panel 20, a communication module 21 and a base 22, wherein the base 22 is inserted into the panel 20, and the communication module 21 is disposed in a receiving space 22A formed between the panel 20 and the base 22;

[0043] Wherein, the optical network unit 100 further includes a locking mechanism 3;

[0044] The tool-free operation portion 30 of the locking mechanism 3 is disposed on the panel 20 , and the locking portion 31 of the locking mechanism 3 is at least disposed on the fixing bracket 1 ;

[0045] When the tool-free operating portion 30 is placed in the first position, the unit body 2 and the fixing bracket 1 are maintained in a locked state, and when the tool-free operating portion 30 is placed in the second position, the unit body 2 and the fixing bracket 1 are switched to an unlocked state.

[0046] In order to install the fixing bracket 1 on the 86-type embedded box body, the size of the fixing bracket 1 matches the size of the embedded box body, and the position of the screw hole 10 on the fixing bracket 1 corresponds to the position of the fixing hole on the embedded shell. Figure 2 As shown, on a general 86-type embedded box body 4, fixing holes 40 are arranged at the left and right ends in the horizontal direction. Correspondingly, screw holes 10 are also arranged at the left and right ends in the horizontal direction on the fixing bracket 1, and a hollow is formed in the middle of the fixing bracket 1, so that the wiring space 41 in the 86-type embedded box body 4 is exposed.

[0047] The panel 20 and the base 22 of the unit body 2 can be buckled with each other, and the base 22 includes an outer frame 22B and a protrusion 22C along the outer frame 22B toward one side of the fixing bracket 1, and a receiving space 22A is formed by the buckling between the protrusion 22C and the panel 20. The communication module 21 is received in the receiving space 22A and can be fixed to the base 22, and the communication module 21 and the base 22 are shielded by the panel 20.

[0048] Optionally, the communication module 21 includes a circuit board 21A and a communication port 21B electrically connected to the circuit board 21A.

[0049] Optionally, the communication module includes a circuit board 21A and a communication antenna 21C electrically connected to the circuit board 21A.

[0050] The communication module 21 can realize wired communication and / or wireless communication of the optical network unit 100. Since the 86-type embedded box body 4 is used to introduce optical signal media such as optical fiber from the outside in the optical communication scenario, in the optical network unit 100, the circuit board 21A of the communication module 21 can realize the mutual conversion between optical signals and electrical signals and the data transmission and processing of electrical signals. In other words, the circuit board 21A needs to include optical fiber ports, photoelectric conversion devices, electrical signal processing and transmission devices, and wired electrical signal ports or wireless communication antennas. Adaptive design is required on the panel 20, such as opening a gap corresponding to the electrical signal port on the panel 20, which can be set according to actual needs and is not limited to this.

[0051] Of course, a communication port 21B and a communication antenna 21C may be provided in the communication module 21, and peripheral circuits for the communication port 21B and the communication antenna 21C may be provided on the circuit board 21A, so that the optical network unit 100 may realize wired communication and wireless communication, respectively.

[0052] A locking mechanism 3 may also be provided in the optical network unit 100, and the locking mechanism 3 may be at least divided into a tool-free operation portion 30 and a locking portion 31. The structure included in the tool-free operation portion 30 may be provided on the panel 20 and exposed from the panel 20, so that the staff can operate outside the panel 20 to disassemble the unit body 2, and the structure included in the locking portion 31 may be provided on the fixing bracket 1, or may be provided on the base 22 and the fixing bracket 1 respectively.

[0053] The staff can push the unit body 2 toward the fixed bracket 1. When the tool-free operating part 30 is in the first position, the unit body 2 and the fixed bracket 1 can be maintained in a locked state. When the tool-free operating part 30 is in the second position, the tool-free operating part 30 can separate the unit body 2 and the fixed bracket 1, and switch the unit body 2 and the fixed bracket 1 to an unlocked state. Through the above-mentioned structural setting, the optical network unit 100 can be quickly installed on the embedded box body 4 on the wall or removed from the embedded box body 4, thereby improving the maintenance efficiency of the optical network unit. It should be noted that maintaining the locked state does not necessarily mean that the tool-free operating part 30 reaches the first position to switch the unit body 2 and the fixed bracket 1 to the locked state. It can also be that the locked state has been reached at a position before the first position and the second position, and the locked state will not be changed at the first position.

[0054] Among them, the tool-free operating part 30 refers to a mechanism that can be operated without the use of tools, such as the snap-fit, magnetic fit and sliding fit of a button and a hook, which can be set according to actual needs.

[0055] Optional, such as Figure 1 , 3 As shown, the tool-free operating part 30 is a pressing piece 30A, and the locking part 31 includes a snap-in hole 31A arranged on the base 22 and a hook 31B protruding from the fixing bracket 1 and passing through the snap-in hole 31A, wherein at least one hook 31B cooperates with the pressing piece 30A to unlock the unit body 2 and the fixing bracket 1.

[0056] The pressing member 30A is as follows Figure 1 The button shown in FIG. 1 and formed integrally with the panel 20 may also be Figure 3 The key formed by the pressing rod and the elastic member shown in the figure is Figure 3 With the cooperation of the pressing rod and the elastic member shown, the pressing member 30A can push the hook 31B downward when pressed, and can also return to the original position through the elastic member when the pressing is released.

[0057] The engaging hole 31A may be provided in the base 22, and the hook 31B provided on the fixing bracket 1 passes through the engaging hole 31A and hooks the edge of the engaging hole 31A, thereby forming a lock between the base 22 and the fixing bracket 1, that is, locking the unit body 2 and the fixing bracket 1. The number of the hook 31B needs to be at least one, and corresponds to the position of the pressing member 30A.

[0058] In order to further improve the reliability of unlocking between the pressing member 30A and the hook 31B, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, a clamping arm 31C may be formed in the clamping hole 31A, and the length of the clamping hook 31B in the horizontal direction may be smaller than the clamping hole 31A but larger than the clamping arm 31C, so that a part of the clamping hook 31B is clamped with the clamping arm 31C, and another part of the clamping hook 31B protrudes from the clamping arm 31C, and the clamping hook 31B protrudes from the clamping arm 31C. The clamping hook 31B of the protruding part may correspond to the pressing member 30A, and when the pressing member 30A is pressed, the bottom of the pressing member 30A may abut against the clamping hook 31B of the protruding part, and push the clamping hook 31B downward, so that the clamping hook 31B and the edge of the clamping hole 31A are separated, thereby switching to the unlocked state, after which the staff can separate the unit body 2 and the fixed bracket 1.

[0059] In order to improve the connection stability between the unit body 2 and the fixed bracket 1 in the optical network unit 100 and avoid the optical network unit 100 being separated from the embedded box body 40 due to accidental touch or impact, optionally, the number of the hooks 31B is at least two, one of which is arranged on the side where the pressing piece 30A is located, and the other is arranged on the side opposite to the pressing piece 30A.

[0060] like Figure 4 As shown, a plurality of hooks 31B may be provided on the fixed bracket 1, and a plurality of connecting holes 31A corresponding to the hooks 31B may also be provided on the base 22, wherein one of the hooks 31B corresponds to the pressing member 30A, and the unit body 2 and the fixed bracket 1 may be unlocked by pressing the pressing member 30A, and the other hooks 31B and connecting holes 31A are located on the side of the fixed bracket 1 and the base 22 away from the pressing member 30A, and the stability of the locking may be achieved by the other hooks 31B and connecting holes 31A, thereby avoiding unlocking caused by impact or misoperation.

[0061] Specifically, if Figure 5 As shown, a pressing hole 20A is provided on the panel 20, and the pressing member 30A includes an elastic arm 300 extending from the edge of the pressing hole 20A to the other side of the pressing hole 20A and a button 301 disposed in the pressing hole 20A and connected to the elastic arm 300;

[0062] When the hook 31B passes through the engaging hole 31A and is engaged with the edge of the engaging hole 31A and the pressing member 30A is in the first position P1, the unit body 2 and the fixing bracket 1 are maintained in a locked state. When the unit body 2 and the fixing bracket 1 are in a locked state and the pressing member 30A is pressed to the second position P2, the bottom of the button 301 pushes the hook 31B to separate from the edge of the engaging hole 31A, thereby releasing the lock between the unit body 2 and the fixing bracket 1 and switching to an unlocked state.

[0063] The hook 31B described above is the hook 31B corresponding to the pressing member 30A. Figure 5 (A) In the left figure, the fixing bracket 1 and the unit body 2 are maintained in a locked state. Figure 5 (A) In the right figure, the white frame indicates the position change of the pressing member 30A after being pressed, and the black frame indicates the position change of the hook 31B after being pressed. The hook 31B is separated from the edge of the engaging hole 31A by the pressing member 30A, and the fixing bracket 1 and the unit body 2 are switched to the unlocked state. Figure 5 (B) shows a stereoscopic view of the optical network module 200 after assembly, wherein the fixing bracket 1 and the unit body 2 are maintained in a locked state.

[0064] During application, after connecting the optical fiber terminal to the optical fiber port, the staff can buckle the unit body 2 into the fixed bracket 1, and the hook 31B extends into the snap-in hole 31A and engages with the edge of the snap-in hole 31A. The unit body 2 and the fixed bracket 1 are switched to a locked state, completing the installation of the unit body 2 and the fixed bracket 1 so that the optical network unit 100 can be used.

[0065] When the staff needs to separate the unit body 2 and the fixing bracket 1, the button 301 is pressed to move downward under the action of the elastic arm 300, so that the bottom of the button 301 abuts against the hook 31B and pushes the hook 31B downward, separating the hook 31B from the connecting hole 31A. At this time, the staff can pull out the unit body 2 to separate the unit body 2 and the fixing bracket 1, and complete the disassembly of the unit body 2 and the fixing bracket 1, so as to maintain the optical network unit 100.

[0066] Since the pressing member 30A and the panel 20 are integrally formed, the assembly efficiency of the optical network unit 100 is higher.

[0067] In another possible factual form, Figure 6 As shown, the tool-free operating portion 30 is a sliding member 30B, and the locking portion 31 is a locking hook 310;

[0068] A through hole 22D is formed on the base 22, and the sliding member 30B passes through the through hole 22D to cooperate with the locking hook 310;

[0069] When the fixed bracket 1 is in contact with the unit body 2 and the sliding member 30B is moved to the first position P1, the unit body 2 and the fixed bracket 1 are locked by the cooperation between the sliding member 30B and the locking hook 310; when the sliding member 30B is moved to the second position, the sliding member 30B slides out of the locking hook 310 to unlock the unit body 2 and the fixed bracket 1.

[0070] The sliding member 30B may be L-shaped, with a top portion thereof extending out of the panel 20 . The sliding member 30B may slide between a first position P1 and a second position P2 .

[0071] In the subsequent figures, the communication module 21 is hidden for the convenience of illustration, and Figure 6 It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the optical network unit 100. After the staff connects the optical fiber terminal to the optical fiber port, the sliding member 30B is placed in the second position P2 to avoid collision when the unit body 2 is buckled into the fixing bracket 1. After the unit body 2 is buckled into the fixing bracket 1, the sliding member 30B is slid to the first position P1 so that the sliding member 30B and the locking hook 310 are locked with each other, and the installation of the optical network unit 100 is completed.

[0072] When the optical network unit 100 needs to be disassembled and maintained, the sliding member 30B is slid from the first position P1 back to the second position P2 to unlock the unit body 2 and the fixing bracket 1. The optical network unit 100 can be quickly installed and removed through a tool-free sliding operation, thereby improving the maintenance efficiency of the optical network unit. In addition, the lock hook 310 can also be in the shape of a circular or rectangular hole, so that the tail end of the sliding member 30B is inserted into the lock hook 310 to achieve locking.

[0073] In another possible factual form, Figure 7 As shown, the tool-free operation portion 30 is a slide buckle 30C provided on an edge of the panel 20 and the fixing bracket 1 opposite to each other, and the locking portion 31 is a slide rail 31D provided on an edge of the fixing bracket 1 and the panel 2 opposite to each other;

[0074] When the slide buckle 30C is slid to the first position P1 along the slide rail 31D, the unit body 2 and the fixed bracket 1 are locked by the cooperation of the slide buckle 30C and the slide rail 31D. When the slide buckle 30C is slid to the second position P2 along the slide rail 31D, the slide buckle 30C and the slide rail 31D are disengaged, thereby unlocking the unit body 2 and the fixed bracket 1.

[0075] exist Figure 7 middle, Figure 7 (A) is a bottom view of the optical network unit 100, Figure 7 (B) is along Figure 7 (A) is a view in the direction of the dotted arrow, and distinguishes between the unlocked state and the locked state.

[0076] The position of the slider 30C on the base 22 corresponds to the position of the slide rail 31D on the fixed bracket 1. When installing the optical network unit 100, the slider 30C and the slide rail 31D can be locked first, and when sliding downward, the slider 30C reaches the first position P1 relative to the slide rail 31D. At this time, the projections of the unit body 2 and the fixed bracket 1 at the front view angle overlap, reaching a locked state.

[0077] When maintenance is required, the slider 30C can be slid upward from the first position P1 to relatively stagger the unit body 2 and the fixed bracket 1. When reaching the second position P2, the slider 30C and the slide rail 31D are disengaged to complete the disassembly of the optical network unit 100.

[0078] It should be noted that the direction of sliding can be changed according to the setting mode of the slider 30C and the slide rail 31D, for example, it can be left-right sliding or up-down sliding. In addition, in order to improve the stability of locking, a limit block 30D can be set at the edge of the slider 30C or the slide rail 31D, taking the limit block 30D set on one side of the base 22 and the sliding direction being up-down sliding as an example. When the slider 30C reaches the first position P1, the limit block 30D resists the slider 30C to avoid the separation of the optical network unit 100 caused by collision or misoperation, thereby improving the reliability of locking the optical network unit 100.

[0079] In another possible factual form, Figure 8 As shown, the tool-free operating portion 30 is a first magnetic member 30E disposed on a side of the panel 20 opposite to the fixing bracket 1, and the locking portion 31 is a second magnetic member 31E disposed on a side of the fixing bracket 1 opposite to the panel 20;

[0080] When the first magnetic member 31E is moved to the first position P1, the unit body 2 and the fixed bracket 1 are locked by the cooperation of the first magnetic member 30E and the second magnetic member 31E. When the first magnetic member 30E is moved to the second position P2, the first magnetic member 30E is disengaged from the second magnetic member 31E, unlocking the unit body 2 and the fixed bracket 1.

[0081] When the optical network unit 100 needs to be installed, the unit body 2 can be buckled into the fixed bracket 1. When reaching the first position P1, the interaction between the first magnetic member 30E and the second magnetic member 31E adsorbs the unit body 2 to the fixed bracket 1, thereby achieving locking between the unit body 2 and the fixed bracket 1.

[0082] When disassembly and maintenance are required, a certain pulling force can be applied to the unit body 2 to resist the interaction between the first magnetic member 30E and the second magnetic member 31E, thereby achieving separation between the unit body 2 and the fixing bracket 1 .

[0083] Correspondingly, the present application also provides an optical network module 200, such as Figure 2 As shown, it includes an embedded box body 4 and any one of the optical network units 100 described above, wherein the optical network unit 100 is connected to the embedded box body 4 by screws.

[0084] Specifically, during installation, first pass the screw through the screw hole 10 on the fixing bracket 1 of the optical network unit 100, and then screw the screw into the fixing hole 40 of the embedded box body 4. After that, connect the optical fiber terminal extending from the embedded box body 4 to the optical fiber port on the unit body 2 of the optical network unit 100, and buckle the unit body 2 into the fixing bracket 1 to realize the assembly of the optical network module 200.

[0085] The implementation process of the functions and effects of each module in the above-mentioned device is specifically described in the implementation process of the corresponding steps in the above-mentioned method, which will not be repeated here.

[0086] The above is a description of a specific embodiment of the specification. Other embodiments are within the scope of the appended claims. In some cases, the actions or steps recorded in the claims can be performed in an order different from that in the embodiments and still achieve the desired results. In addition, the processes depicted in the drawings do not necessarily require the specific order or continuous order shown to achieve the desired results.
