Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of optical fibers, in particular to an optical fiber fusion box and an installation structure for preventing optical fiber core wires from being twisted off. Background Art

[0002] Fiber fusion box, also known as fiber optic cable junction box, is where the ends of the optical cables are connected, and then connected to the optical switch through the fiber optic jumper. It can prevent material aging caused by heat, cold, light, oxygen, and microorganisms in nature, and has excellent mechanical strength. The sturdy shell and main structure of the fiber optic fusion box can withstand the harshest environmental changes, and at the same time play the role of flame retardant and waterproof, so that vibration, impact, cable stretching, and twisting are protected.

[0003] In the process of optical fiber auxiliary installation and fusion splicing, we found that the popular optical fiber fusion box on the market has defects in its optical cable fixing device. The fused optical fiber box is moved and flipped many times, and the rotation of the optical fiber causes the self-protective steel wire on the optical cable to be twisted, thereby breaking the optical fiber core. The optical fiber core is made of glass, which is very easy to break. As a result, the optical fiber needs to be re-laid and fused. We found in the construction project that due to the complex on-site conditions, many work teams and frequent cross-operation, the popular optical fiber fusion box on the market has unsafe defects.

[0026] As shown Figure 1-2 in the figure, an optical fiber splicing box 2 for preventing optical fiber core wires from being cut by twisting includes: a box body 30 and a box cover 26. The box body 30 is provided with an inlet 21. Near the inlet 21 in the box body 30, there are a left pressing column 6, a right pressing column 5, and a clip 9. The clip 9 is installed on the left pressing column 6 and the right pressing column 5, and the clip 9 is used to clamp the optical cable 1. In the box body 30, there are also a left positioning column 3, a right positioning column 4, a left positioning wire 8, and a right positioning wire 7. The first end of the left positioning wire 8 is used to wind the optical cable 1, and the second end is installed on the left positioning column 3. The first end of the right positioning wire 7 is used to wind the optical cable 1, and the second end is installed on the right positioning column 4. The left positioning wire 8 and the right positioning wire 7 are used to wind the optical cable 1 to position the optical cable 1, prevent the optical cable 1 from being rotated when the splicing box 2 is moved, and avoid the optical fiber core wires being cut due to the rotation of the optical cable 1. The box cover 26 can be buckled on the box body 30 and is connected through the fixing screw holes 25.

[0027] The left positioning column 3 is welded to the inner wall of the box body 30; or / and, the right positioning column 4 is welded to the inner wall of the box body 30. By using the welding method to fix the left positioning column 3 and the right positioning column 4, there are fewer additional parts in the splicing box 2, further avoiding touching and damaging the optical fiber core wires.

[0028] The left pressing column 6 is located between the inlet 21 and the left positioning column 3, and the right pressing column 5 is located between the inlet 21 and the right positioning column 4. After the optical cable 1 is inserted from the inlet 21, it is first covered by the clip 9 near the inlet 21, and the clip 9 presses the optical cable 1 against the inner wall of the box body 30 to prevent the optical cable 1 from coming out; then the outer circumference of the optical cable 1 is respectively wound by the left positioning wire 8 and the right positioning wire 7 for circumferential positioning to prevent the optical cable 1 from rotating.

[0029] The second end of the left positioning wire 8 is wound around the left positioning column 3, and the second end of the right positioning wire 7 is wound around the right positioning column 4. By winding the left positioning wire 8 on the left positioning column 3 and the right positioning wire 7 on the right positioning column 4, the left positioning wire 8 and the right positioning wire 7 can be effectively prevented from loosening.

[0030] The left positioning column 3 is provided with an external thread, and there are two nuts on the left positioning column 3. The two nuts clamp the second end of the left positioning wire 8; the right positioning column 4 is provided with an external thread, and there are two nuts 23, 24 on the right positioning column 4. The two nuts 23, 24 clamp the second end of the right positioning wire 7. The winding position of the left positioning wire 8 on the left positioning column 3 is between the two nuts on the left positioning column 3, and the two nuts are screwed close to each other to clamp the left positioning wire 8. The winding position of the right positioning wire 7 on the right positioning column 4 is between the two nuts 23, 24 on the right positioning column 4, and the two nuts 23, 24 are screwed close to each other to clamp the right positioning wire 7. Further avoid the left positioning wire 8 and the right positioning wire 7 from loosening, and tighten the optical cable 1 to prevent the optical cable 1 from rotating.

[0031] A protection ring plate 14 and a fixed grid 16 are further provided in the box body 30 . The fixed grid 16 is provided with a plurality of slots. The fixed grid 16 is located in the circle of the protection ring plate 14 .

[0032] The bare optical fiber core group 11 of the optical cable 1 is led out from the optical fiber core group 10 with a soft silicone sleeve, and after being coiled on the protective ring plate 14 for several turns, the single fibers are separated and respectively fused with the corresponding tail wires using an optical fiber fusion splicer and covered with a heat-melting silicone protective tube 12, and fixed on the card slot of the fixed grid 16, and then after being coiled on the protective ring plate 14 for several turns, the fiber tail wire connector 17 is used to plug into the corresponding optical fiber coupler 18; the optical fiber jumper 20 is plugged into the outer edge of the corresponding optical fiber coupler 18 using the optical fiber jumper connector 19, and the other end can be plugged into the photoelectric converter to realize single-loop communication; the number of optical fiber jumpers 20 is designed according to the needs of the site, And its model should be suitable for the single-mode and dual-mode characteristics of the optical cable 1; in this example, the fusion box 2 is 250mm long, 100mm wide, and 30mm thick. The height of the bolt column in the box does not exceed 30mm. The bolt column and the screw cap must have sufficient fixing strength. The protective ring plate 14 is oval and the inner diameter is not less than 36mm; the fixed grid 16 is made of silicone and is glued to the inner wall of the fusion box 2 with strong glue; the interface between the optical fiber coupler 18 and the fusion box 2 has sealing performance to prevent external moisture and dust from penetrating into the interior; the optical cable 1 matches the size of the line inlet 21 or 22 and has sealing performance to prevent external moisture and dust from penetrating into the interior.

[0033] The left positioning column 3, the right positioning column 4 and the cable inlet 21 are distributed in a triangular shape, so as to effectively tighten the optical cable 1 and prevent the optical cable 1 from rotating.

[0034] The optical cable 1 is installed on the fusion box 2. In the installation structure of the optical fiber fusion box 2 for preventing the twisting of the optical fiber core wire of this embodiment, the optical cable 1 is inserted into the line inlet 21 of the fusion box 2, and the first end of the left positioning wire 8 is wound around the outside of the optical cable 1, and the first end of the right positioning wire 7 is wound around the outside of the optical cable 1. The left positioning wire 8 and the right positioning wire 7 are wound around the optical cable 1 in opposite directions. Pre-tightening forces in two rotational directions are applied to the optical cable 1, and the optical cable 1 is constrained regardless of its tendency to rotate in either direction, thereby preventing the optical cable 1 from rotating in two directions. The left positioning wire 8 is tightened and straightened, and the right positioning wire 7 is tightened and straightened, which effectively tightens and constrains the rotation of the optical cable 1.

[0035] Preferably, in this embodiment, the left positioning wire 8 and the right positioning wire 7 are made of steel wires.
