[0026] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.
[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , the present utility model provides a multi-functional optical fiber holder, which mainly includes the following structures:
[0028] ① Main clamping seat 1
[0029] The main clamping seat 1 is the basic structure of the whole device. A first groove 11 is designed on its upper surface, and the groove extends to one end of the main clamping seat 1 and forms an installation groove 12 at this end. This design provides a basis for the installation of subsequent components and the placement of optical fibers.
[0030] ② Inner lining clamping seat 3
[0031] The inner lining clamping seat 3 is a detachable component and is designed to be able to fit tightly with the installation groove 12. This detachable design greatly increases the flexibility of the device. A second groove 31 is provided on the upper surface of the inner lining clamping seat 3, and the groove is precisely aligned with the first groove 11 on the main clamping seat 1 after installation to form a continuous optical fiber placement groove.
[0032] ③Inner cover 4
[0033] The inner cover 4 is connected to the side of the inner lining clamping seat 3 through a hinge structure and can rotate to cover the second groove 31. This design can effectively fix and protect the optical fiber placed in the groove.
[0034] ④Outer cover 2
[0035] The outer cover 2 also adopts a hinge structure and is connected to the side of the main clamping seat 1. Its main function is to cover and press the inner cover 4, thus forming a double protection structure.
[0036] ⑤Locking structure 5
[0037] A locking structure 5 is provided between the free end of the outer cover 2 and the main clamping seat 1 to ensure the stability of the entire clamping structure.
[0038] The core advantage of this design lies in its versatility and operational convenience. This optical fiber holder adopts the design of two clamping seats inside and outside. The outer layer is the main clamping seat 1, which serves as the basic structure of the entire device; the inner layer is the detachable inner lining clamping seat 3. Since the inner lining clamping seat 3 can be easily disassembled and installed from the installation groove 12, the operator can flexibly adjust the configuration of the holder according to specific needs. This flexibility enables the holder to adapt to the fusion splicing requirements of SC / UPC connectors, various jumpers, and bare optical fibers during the hot melt butt joint process in FTTH projects without replacing the entire fixture. This greatly simplifies the cumbersome operation of frequently replacing fixtures in traditional methods and significantly improves work efficiency.
[0039] To further improve the performance and applicability of the holder, the present utility model also includes the following optimized designs:
[0040] 1) Buffer pad design
[0041] A first buffer pad 6 is provided in the second groove 31, and a second buffer pad 7 is provided on the inner surface of the inner cover 4 to cooperate with it. These two buffer pads are preferably made of foam material, which can effectively clamp optical fibers of different diameters, increasing the compatibility of the device. In addition, the design of the buffer pads not only provides good clamping force but also effectively protects the optical fiber from damage.
[0042] 2) Bare optical fiber fixing structure
[0043] A lower clamping plate 32 is designed at one end of the inner lining clamping seat 3, and an upper clamping plate 41 is provided on the corresponding inner cover 4. A bare optical fiber pressing pad 42 is also installed on the upper clamping plate 41, preferably made of soft materials such as foam. This design can effectively fix the bare optical fiber part of the optical cable, prevent sliding during cutting and fusion splicing, and improve the stability and accuracy of operation.
[0044] 3) Protection structure
[0045] On the upper clamping plate 41, a downwardly extending cushion block 43 is designed, and a clamping groove 431 for installing the bare fiber pressing pad 42 is provided in the middle thereof. This design can effectively prevent damage to the optical fiber caused by excessive squeezing during the clamping process.
[0046] 4) Magnetic attraction locking structure
[0047] The locking structure 5 adopts a magnetic attraction design, including a first magnetic attraction member (such as a magnet) installed on the upper surface of the main clamping seat 1 and a second magnetic attraction member (such as an iron sheet, or the inner cover 4 itself is made of iron) at the free end of the inner cover 4. This design makes the opening and closing operation of the outer cover 2 more convenient and provides a more stable clamping force.
[0048] 5) Bottom magnetic attraction structure
[0049] A third magnetic attraction member 8 (preferably a magnet) is provided on the bottom surface of the main clamping seat 1 for firmly adsorbing the entire device at the corresponding position of the fusion splicer.
[0050] 6) Precise positioning structure
[0051] A cutting length limit positioning surface 13 is designed at the bottom of the main clamping seat 1 near one end of the inner lining clamping seat 3, and a fusion length limit positioning hole 14 is provided on the bottom surface on the side away from the inner lining clamping seat 3. These design elements can achieve more precise control of the optical fiber cutting and fusion lengths. These structures need to cooperate with the corresponding structures of the fusion splicer.
[0052] 7) Humanized operation design
[0053] First hand - holding positions 21 and second hand - holding positions 44 protruding from the side surfaces are respectively designed at the free ends of the outer cover 2 and the inner cover 4, which are convenient for the operator to perform the opening and closing operations.
[0054] In summary, through its innovative structural design, the multifunctional optical fiber holder of the present utility model effectively solves the problem of frequently replacing fixtures during the traditional optical fiber fusion process. It not only improves the operation efficiency but also enhances the stability and precision of the fusion process. This design is of great significance for improving the construction efficiency of optical fiber communication projects such as FTTH and is expected to be widely applied in the industry.
