Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mechanical automation, in particular to an optical jumper and communication equipment. Background Art

[0002] As the functional integration of communication equipment in the communication room increases, power consumption also increases, resulting in equipment heat dissipation becoming a problem and frequent high temperature alarms. Generally, high temperature alarms are transmitted to the network management platform through the temperature control sensor device of the equipment to remind maintenance personnel that the equipment is overheating. However, in the actual operation of the room, overheating occurs locally, and single equipment overheats. The change trend is not easy to grasp. It is not easy to detect with the naked eye whether the temperature in the equipment cabinet meets the standard for safe operation of the equipment. It can only be known after overheating, which is very likely to cause production safety accidents.

[0003] The existing technical solutions have the following disadvantages:

[0004] 1. You can only know the temperature after the equipment alarm sounds, which is a late realization.

[0005] 2. There is no direct temperature display device, which is not convenient for maintenance personnel to check.

[0006] In summary, how to simply and effectively set up a temperature display device so that maintenance personnel can more intuitively view the temperature inside the cabinet is one of the important issues that technical personnel in this field need to solve urgently. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an optical fiber jumper and communication equipment to solve the deficiencies in the prior art. It can conveniently and intuitively check whether the temperature of the equipment and the optical fiber jumper is within the predicted temperature range, which is helpful to assist the computer room maintenance personnel to intuitively see the temperature inside the cabinet and facilitate early handling of dangerous situations in the computer room.

[0008] The utility model provides an optical jumper, which comprises an optical jumper body and a temperature-sensitive layer capable of displaying different colors within a preset temperature range and outside the preset temperature range;

[0009] The temperature-sensitive layer is arranged on the outer periphery of the optical jumper body.

[0010] The optical patch cord as described above, wherein optionally, the temperature sensitive layer circumferentially covers the optical patch cord body.

[0011] The optical patch cord as described above, wherein, optionally, the temperature sensitive layer is located at an end of the optical patch cord body close to the communication device.

[0012] The optical jumper as described above, wherein, optionally, the temperature-sensitive layer includes at least two coating areas;

[0013] At least two coating areas are distributed along the length direction of the optical jumper body.

[0014] The optical patch cord as described above, wherein, optionally, intervals with set distances are provided between different coating areas.

[0015] The optical patch cord as described above, wherein, optionally, adjacent coating areas are adjacent to each other.

[0016] As for the optical patch cord as described above, optionally, different coating areas correspond to different preset temperature ranges.

[0019] The present invention further proposes a communication device, which includes a communication device body, and the communication device body is connected to any of the above-mentioned optical jumper fibers.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the utility model provides a temperature-sensitive layer on the periphery of the optical patch cord that can display different colors within a preset temperature range and outside the preset temperature range. When the optical patch cord is connected to the equipment, it displays one color when the temperature is within the safe temperature range, and another color when the temperature is outside the safe temperature range. In this way, the temperature range in the equipment can be intuitively judged through the color change of the temperature-sensitive layer on the surface of the optical patch cord, which is convenient for maintenance personnel to discover and record the color change of the temperature-sensitive layer during the inspection of the machine room or the camera inspection, which is conducive to handling dangerous situations in the machine room in advance.

[0026] The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0027] Embodiment 1

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment proposes an optical jumper, which includes an optical jumper body 1 and a temperature-sensitive layer 2 that can display different colors within a preset temperature range and outside a preset temperature range. In practical applications, the preset temperature range should be consistent or substantially consistent with the temperature range of safe operation of the optical jumper body 1 and the equipment. Of course, in some cases, in order to play an early warning role, the preset temperature range can be different from the temperature range of safe operation. For example, taking the case where a certain device can operate safely below 60°C as an example, the preset temperature range can be set to no more than 55°C, that is, the temperature-sensitive layer 2 presents one or more colors at 55°C, and another or more colors when it is above 55°C. As long as the color displayed by the temperature-sensitive layer 2 at no more than 55°C is different from the color displayed at more than 55°C. In practical applications, in order to facilitate distinction, the greater the color difference of the temperature-sensitive layer 2 in the above two cases, the better. The temperature-sensitive layer 2 can be coated with a thermosensitive material, and different types of optical jumpers can be prefabricated according to different equipment environments. The temperature-sensitive layer 2 is arranged on the periphery of the optical jumper body 1.

[0029] In a preferred solution, when in use, when the device is working within the safe operating temperature range, the temperature-sensitive layer 2 on the optical jumper body 1 presents one color. When the temperature is greater than the safe operating temperature range, the color of the temperature-sensitive layer 2 changes, presenting another color or colors. The temperature is judged by the color change of the temperature-sensitive layer 2. When the temperature exceeds the safety standard value, the color displayed by the temperature-sensitive layer 2 changes. Through different colors, maintenance personnel can find and record the color changes during the machine room inspection or camera inspection, so as to deal with the dangerous situation in the machine room in advance.

[0030] In specific implementation, the temperature sensitive layer 2 can cover the entire periphery of the optical jump fiber body 1, or can cover part of the periphery of the optical jump fiber body 1. The periphery of the optical jump fiber body 1 referred to here is the outer side surface, excluding the two end surfaces of the optical jump fiber.

[0031] In a preferred implementation, when the temperature-sensitive layer 2 covers part of the periphery of the optical jump fiber body 1, the temperature-sensitive layer 2 circumferentially covers the optical jump fiber body 1. That is, the temperature-sensitive layer 2 is provided on the circumferential side of a certain section of the optical jump fiber body 1. Preferably, in order to reflect the temperature at the connection between the device and the optical jump fiber as accurately as possible, the temperature-sensitive layer 2 should be arranged at one end close to the communication device. In a specific implementation, the optical jump fiber is usually prefabricated into a longer one, and a section of it is cut off as needed when used. Therefore, during manufacturing, the temperature-sensitive layer 2 can be arranged at intervals, and when cutting the optical jump fiber, it is ensured that the temperature-sensitive layer 2 is located at one end close to the device. Compared with providing the temperature-sensitive layer 2 on the entire periphery of the optical jump fiber body 1, the amount of temperature-sensitive material used can be reduced.

[0032] In another preferred implementation, please refer to Figure 1 , the temperature-sensitive layer 2 covers the outer circumference of the optical jumper body 1 along the circumferential direction and the length direction. That is, a layer of temperature-sensitive layer 2 is coated on the circumferential outer surface of the optical jumper body 1, so that the temperature-sensitive layer 2 is coated from one end close to the communication device to the other end. In this way, during installation, no matter where it is cut from, it can be ensured that the end close to the communication device has the temperature-sensitive layer 2, which can facilitate installation.

[0033] In other implementations, the temperature-sensitive layer 2 may also cover the optical jumper fiber along the length direction and partially cover it in the circumferential direction. For example, the temperature-sensitive layer 2 may be distributed in a spiral shape on the outer circumference of the optical jumper fiber.

[0034] In a preferred implementation, please refer to Figure 2 In order to more accurately determine the temperature range, the temperature-sensitive layer 2 includes at least two coating areas 21; at least two coating areas 21 are distributed along the length direction of the optical jumper body 1. In some implementations, a gap with a set distance is provided between different coating areas 21. In other implementations, adjacent coating areas 21 are adjacent. That is, two adjacent coating areas 21 are continuous in the length direction. The preset temperature ranges corresponding to different coating areas 21 are different. In this way, the intuitive display of different temperatures can be achieved based on the different predicted temperature ranges of different coating areas 21.

[0035] In a preferred implementation, the temperature-sensitive layer 2 may also be configured to be a material that can continuously change color as the temperature changes, so that the temperature can be judged only by the color of the temperature-sensitive layer 2 .

[0036] In a specific implementation, the thickness of the temperature sensing layer 2 is not greater than 1 mm. Specifically, the thickness of the temperature sensing layer 2 can be any value greater than 0 but not greater than 1 mm, such as 0.01 mm, 0.02 mm, 0.03 mm, 0.04 mm, 0.05 mm, 0.06 mm, 0.07 mm, 0.08 mm, 0.09 mm, 0.1 mm, 0.2 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.7 mm, 0.8 mm, 0.9 mm, etc.

[0037] The optical patch cord body 1 referred to in this embodiment is the optical patch cord in the prior art.

[0038] Embodiment 2

[0039] This embodiment is a further improvement on the basis of the first embodiment. The similarities are not repeated here. Only the differences are described below. The main difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the temperature-sensitive layer 2 in the first embodiment is coated on the surface of the optical jumper body 1, while in this embodiment, the temperature-sensitive layer 2 is a cylinder sleeved on the outer periphery of the optical jumper body 1. When the temperature-sensitive layer 2 is manufactured in the manner of this embodiment, it should be ensured that the temperature-sensitive layer 2 can be closely connected to the outer periphery of the optical jumper body 1.

[0040] Embodiment 3

[0042] This embodiment provides a communication device, which includes a communication device body, and the communication device body is connected to the optical jumper fiber described in the first embodiment.

[0043] In a specific implementation, one end of the optical jumper fiber having the temperature-sensitive layer 2 is connected to the communication device body. When the communication device is arranged in a cabinet, at least one observation window for conveniently observing the temperature-sensitive layer 2 on the optical jumper fiber should be provided on the cabinet. Specifically, the observation window can be an opening or a plate made of a transparent material.

[0044] When in use, the temperature at the connection between the optical jump fiber and the communication device can be intuitively judged by observing the color change of the temperature-sensitive layer 2 on the optical jump fiber.
