Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of the communication industry, in particular to a device for detecting the use status of an optical port. Background Art

[0002] With the development of fiber optic communications, optical fiber resources are used in every corner of society. However, since the optical cable fusion carriers in the machine room still use tray fusion, manual fiber jumper operations cannot be avoided at the tray port. Therefore, it is inevitable that construction workers fail to perform fiber jumper construction according to the order on traditional trays. At the same time, it is also impossible to prevent illegal fiber insertion, random fiber insertion, and illegal fiber pulling.

[0003] During the actual tray fiber patching operation, there is no supervision on the on-site construction process. For example, if the on-site port adapter is found to be damaged or contaminated, the service fiber patching is inserted into other ports without making construction records of the fiber patching port location information and service content. This causes the port information to be inconsistent with the actual tray occupancy, resulting in errors in the port information data recording, extending the service activation time, and requiring manual troubleshooting and fiber touching, resulting in unnecessary time and loss of manpower and material resources.

[0004] At present, the industry standard for detecting the usage status of optical ports on smart trays on the market generally adopts the electronic tag monitoring method. However, during use, it is impossible to accurately identify the insertion of non-intelligent patch cables without electronic tags, resulting in the accuracy of optical port usage status monitoring being affected by the operation of on-site construction personnel, and the optical port occupancy status data is inconsistent with the actual situation. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the insertion of traditional patch cables and intelligent patch cables at the same time in order to better and more accurately detect the usage status of optical ports, trace the connection relationship of optical port patch cables, and ensure the consistency of the usage status of optical ports.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a device for detecting the use status of an optical port to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

It is then fixed by screws; the 12-core optical port tray can identify and read the label value of the electronic tag chip through the electronic tag mother seat; the 12-core optical port tray monitors the use status of the optical port adapter port through the port detection sensor, and when the optical fiber connector is inserted, the switch quantity is triggered to determine whether there is an optical fiber connector inserted into the corresponding optical port adapter at this time, and by combining the electronic tag mother seat, it is identified whether the jumper inserted into the optical port adapter at this time is a smart jumper.

The PCB board can be inserted into the slot position through the front cover structure and fixed in position by self-tapping screws.

The triggering condition of the port detection sensor is that the optical fiber connector is inserted into the adapter port.

[0011] As a preferred solution of the detection device for the use status of the optical port described in the utility model, the electronic tag mother seat is used to read the insertion status of the optical fiber connector with an electronic tag. Before the optical fiber connector is inserted into the adapter port, the optical fiber connector is fixed to the optical fiber connector through the electronic tag structure at the front end. After the optical fiber connector is inserted into the adapter, the electronic tag mother seat is inserted along with the optical fiber connector insertion action.

[0012] As a preferred solution of the detection device for the usage status of the optical port described in the utility model, the electronic tag socket changes the circuit state after the electronic tag is inserted, and supports reading the label value written in the electronic tag. By reading the port electronic tag value, the connection relationship of the optical port jumper can be traced to ensure the consistency of the usage status of the optical port.
