[0033] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0034] In the related art, both ends of the optical cable wound on the cable reel body are connected with connectors, and the connector at one end of the optical cable is plugged into the adapter, and the adapter is fixed at the opening of the optical fiber storage box; when wiring, if the cable reel body is not removed from the optical fiber storage box, when the other end of the optical cable is pulled out, one end of the optical cable is fixed at the opening of the optical fiber storage box by the adapter and cannot rotate together, so the entire cable reel body cannot be rotated together to release the wire. The cable reel body can only be removed, and the optical cable is removed from the optical fiber storage box together, so that the cable reel body can be rotated and the wire can be released. After the construction and wiring are completed, the cable reel body is installed in the optical fiber storage box. It is impossible to directly construct wiring without disassembling the cable reel body.

[0035] The embodiments of the present application provide a fiber optic storage box and a fiber optic panel, which can solve the technical problem of inconvenient construction in the related art.

[0036] See also Figure 1 As shown, an optical fiber storage box provided in an embodiment of the present application may include: a box body 1, an opening 111 is provided on one side of the box body 1, and the box body 1 is provided with a first adapter installation position 121 at the opening 111; a cable storage drum 2, the cable storage drum 2 is rotatably installed in the box body 1, and the cable storage drum 2 is provided with a second adapter installation position 21.

[0037] In this embodiment, the box body 1 includes a base 12 and an upper cover 11, the base 12 and the upper cover 11 are mutually engaged, and the base 12 and the upper cover 11 are mutually detachable, and the base 12 and the upper cover 11 jointly define a cavity for accommodating the cable storage drum 2 and the optical cable. Among them, the opening 111 is preferably opened in the upper cover 11, of course, it can also be opened in the base 12, or half of it is located in the upper cover 11 and half of it is located in the base 12. The cable storage drum 2 in this embodiment is preferably disc-shaped, and the cable storage drum 2 can rotate around the axis of the cable storage drum 2 in the box body 1. The cable storage drum 2 is also provided with a second adapter installation position 21, and the second adapter installation position 21 can be integrally formed on the cable storage drum 2, or can be detachably or non-detachably installed on the cable storage drum 2, so that when the cable storage drum 2 rotates, the optical fiber adapter 6 installed on the second adapter installation position 21 can rotate with the cable storage drum 2.

[0038] The present embodiment sets the adapter second mounting position 21 on the cable storage drum 2. When a pre-terminated optical cable is wound in the cable storage drum 2, the connector at the first end of the optical cable can be plugged into the optical fiber adapter 6, and the optical fiber adapter 6 is installed in the adapter second mounting position 21. When the second end of the optical cable is pulled out for wiring, the cable storage drum 2 will rotate relative to the box body 1. At the same time, the connector at the first end of the optical cable and the optical fiber adapter 6 can rotate together with the cable storage drum 2 to realize the laying out of the optical cable. When the cable is laid out to a suitable length, the optical fiber adapter 6 can be removed from the adapter second mounting position 21 and installed in the adapter first mounting position 121 at the opening 111, so that the optical fiber adapter 6 can be connected to other devices at the opening 111. Therefore, the present embodiment does not need to remove the cable storage drum 2 and the optical cable from the box body 1 during wiring, and the pulling and installation of the optical cable can be realized, which improves the construction convenience and solves the technical problem of inconvenient construction in the related art.

[0039] Preferably, the side of the base 12 may be provided with an open cable outlet for the optical cable to pass through the box body 1 when laying the open cable; the bottom surface of the base 12 may also be provided with a concealed cable outlet for the optical cable to pass through the box body 1 when laying the concealed cable. Since the cable storage drum 2 in this embodiment does not need to be removed from the box body 1 when laying cables, the cable storage drum 2 in this embodiment may be detachable or non-detachable from the box body 1.

[0040] Further, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, a fixed shaft 122 is provided in the box body 1, and the cable storage drum 2 is sleeved on the fixed shaft 122, and the fixed shaft 122 is engaged with the cable storage drum 2. In this embodiment, the fixed shaft 122 is preferably provided on the base 12, and the fixed shaft 122 is perpendicular to the bottom surface of the base 12, and a center hole is provided at the center of the cable storage drum 2, so that the cable storage drum 2 is sleeved outside the fixed shaft 122 through the center hole, and the cable storage drum 2 can rotate around the fixed shaft 122. By providing the fixed shaft 122, the fixed shaft 122 can position the cable storage drum 2, so that the cable storage drum 2 is not easy to shake randomly in the box body 1 during the rotation process; at the same time, a clamping structure 1221 ( Figure 6 As shown), the axial displacement of the cable storage drum 2 is limited so that the cable storage drum 2 is not easy to escape from the fixed shaft 122.

[0041] Of course, in other embodiments, the fixed shaft 122 may not be provided in the box body 1, and an area for placing the cable storage drum 2 may be directly defined in the box body 1, so that the cable storage drum 2 can rotate in the defined area.

[0042] Further, see Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in one embodiment, the fixed shaft 122 is equipped with a cover 3, and the cover 3 fixes the cable storage drum 2 to the fixed shaft 122 in an undetachable manner. In this embodiment, after the cable storage drum 2 is sleeved on the fixed shaft 122, a cover 3 can be fixed on the fixed shaft 122, and the cover 3 can be blocked at one end of the fixed shaft 122, and the outer diameter of the cover 3 is larger than the inner diameter of the center hole of the cable storage drum 2, so that the cable storage drum 2 cannot escape from the fixed shaft 122 from the upper end of the fixed shaft 122. At the same time, the bottom surface of the cable storage drum 2 is also blocked by the base 12, so after the cover 3 is fixed on the fixed shaft 122, the cable storage drum 2 can be undetachably fixed to the fixed shaft 122, and at the same time, the cable storage drum 2 can still rotate around the fixed shaft 122. Since the optical fiber storage box generally needs to be fixed to a place at a certain height such as a wall, the present embodiment fixes the cable storage drum 2 to the fixed shaft 122 in an irremovable manner, thereby ensuring that during the construction process, even if the optical fiber storage box falls from a high place to the ground, the cable storage drum 2 will not fall out of the optical fiber storage box, and the optical cable can still be coiled on the cable storage drum 2 intact.

[0043] Of course, in other embodiments, the cable storage drum 2 and the fixed shaft 122 may be installed in different ways, and the cable storage drum 2 and the fixed shaft 122 may also be configured to be detachable.

[0044] Based on the above technical solution, see Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, the cover 3 and the fixed shaft 122 can be fixed by welding or bonding, and the cover 3 is stopped at one end of the cable storage drum 2. In this embodiment, a first step 31 can be provided on one side of the cover 3, and a second step matching the first step 31 is also provided on the upper end of the fixed shaft 122. After the cover 3 is installed to the upper end of the fixed shaft 122, the first step 31 fits with the second step, which can increase the contact surface between the cover 3 and the fixed shaft 122, and welding or bonding can be performed on any surface where the cover 3 contacts the fixed shaft 122. After the mutually fixed contact surface is increased, the firmness of the fixation of the cover 3 and the fixed shaft 122 can be improved.

[0045] Further, see Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, in some optional embodiments, an annular cable stop plate 123 may be further provided in the box body 1, and the annular cable stop plate 123 is arranged around the periphery of the cable storage drum 2. In this embodiment, the annular cable stop plate 123 may be a circular ring, or may be a ring of other shapes, such as a square. And an outlet is provided on one side of the annular cable stop plate 123, and the pulled end of the optical cable can pass through the outlet. In this embodiment, an annular cable stop plate 123 is provided on the periphery of the cable storage drum 2, and the annular cable stop plate 123 can block the outer side of the optical cable wound on the cable storage drum 2, so that the optical cable wound on the cable storage drum 2 is not easy to loosen.

[0046] Further, see Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the annular cable stop plate 123 is installed with a paddle 4, and the paddle 4 is provided with a plug-in structure 41. When the paddle 4 is toggled, the plug-in structure 41 is plugged and fixed with the cable storage drum 2. In this embodiment, after the paddle 4 is installed on the annular cable stop plate 123, it can slide up and down along the axial direction of the annular cable stop plate 123, but cannot move in the circumferential direction, and the plug-in structure 41 on the paddle 4 can be set as a slot, and the cable storage drum 2 can be correspondingly provided with an insert block. When the paddle 4 is toggled to move the paddle 4 upward, the insert block can be plugged into the slot, so that the paddle 4 prevents the cable storage drum 2 from rotating in the circumferential direction.

[0047] Further, see Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, a cable guide housing 5 is detachably installed in the box body 1, and a connection structure for fixing with a connector is provided in the cable guide housing 5. In this embodiment, the appearance of the cable guide housing 5 is similar to a bullet head, and one end of the cable guide housing 5 can be provided with a perforation, and the connector at the second end of the optical cable can be plugged into the cable guide housing 5, and the connector and the cable guide housing 5 are fixed by the connection structure in the cable guide housing 5 (for example, the connector can be fixed with the cable guide housing 5 by buckle). When it is necessary to lay a hidden wire, the connector at the second end of the optical cable can be fixed in the cable guide housing 5, and a pull rope can be inserted in the perforation of the cable guide housing 5, and the cable guide housing 5 can be pulled by the pull rope to move along the hidden passage, and then the second end of the optical cable can be driven to move through the cable guide housing 5.

[0048] In some optional embodiments, the box body 1 and the cable storage drum 2 are not removable. In this embodiment, the box body 1 and the cable storage drum 2 are set to be non-removable, and the box body 1 does not need to be provided with a fixed shaft 122, and other methods can be used to achieve non-removability with the cable storage drum 2. At the same time, the cable storage drum 2 must be able to rotate relative to the box body 1. For example, it can be set that the rotating shaft in the middle of the cable storage drum 2 is inserted into the rotating hole of the box body 1 to achieve the relative rotation of the cable storage drum 2 and the box body 1, and a blocking piece is provided at one end of the rotating shaft to prevent the rotating shaft from escaping from the rotating hole.

[0049] See also Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present application further provides a fiber optic panel, which includes the above-mentioned fiber optic storage box and a fiber optic adapter 6, and the fiber optic adapter 6 is selectively installed in the first adapter installation position 121 or the second adapter installation position 21. The fiber optic storage box in this embodiment can adopt the fiber optic storage box provided in any of the above-mentioned embodiments and realize the corresponding functions, which will not be repeated here.

[0050] In the above technical solution, when wiring, the optical fiber adapter 6 can be installed in the second adapter installation position 21, so that the optical fiber adapter 6 can rotate with the cable storage drum 2; when the second end of the pre-terminated optical cable is pulled out, the cable storage drum 2 rotates relative to the box body 1 and the required length of the optical cable is pulled out. When the appropriate length is pulled out, the optical fiber adapter 6 is removed from the second adapter installation position 21 on the cable storage drum 2 and installed in the first adapter installation position 121 on the base 12. At the same time, the paddle 4 is slid upward to stop the rotation of the cable storage drum 2.

[0051] Furthermore, the optical fiber panel may further include a mounting bracket 7 , and the mounting bracket 7 is mounted on the bottom surface of the base 12 .

[0052] The embodiment of the present application also provides a fiber optic panel, which includes: the above-mentioned fiber optic storage box and a fiber optic adapter 6, wherein the fiber optic adapter 6 is selectively installed in the first installation position 121 of the adapter or the second installation position 21 of the adapter; an optical cable, wherein the optical cable is installed in the fiber optic storage box, wherein the optical cable is coiled on the cable storage drum 2, and the optical cable is a pre-terminated optical cable, and connectors are connected to both ends of the optical cable, the connector at the first end of the optical cable is plugged into the fiber optic adapter 6, and the connector at the second end can be plugged into the cable guide housing 5 in the box body 1. The fiber optic storage box in this embodiment can adopt the fiber optic storage box provided in any of the above-mentioned embodiments, and realize the corresponding functions, which will not be repeated here.
