[0032] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] Referring to Figure 1 - Figure 3 As an embodiment provided by the present invention: a multi-port fiber optic network switch includes a body 1. A wire insertion hole 5 is provided inside the body 1. A fixing frame 4 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the body 1. A slide rail 7 is provided inside the fixing frame 4. The slide rail 7 limits the movement of the slider 8. A fixing column 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing frame 4. A limiting block 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing column 11. A first spring 9 is sleeved on the outer wall of the fixing column 11. The first spring 9 stabilizes the optical fiber through its reaction force. The bottom of the first spring 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing frame 4. The top of the first spring 9 is fixedly connected to a lifting plate 12. A clamp 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting plate 12. The clamp 14 is made of rubber material to avoid abrasion to the end. Sliders 8 are fixedly connected to both sides of the clamp 14. The outer wall of the slider 8 is slidably connected inside the slide rail 7. A switch assembly is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the body 1. The switch assembly is used to switch on and off the body 1. When the end is inserted, the clamp 14 will keep it stable. When the end is not inserted, the clamp 14 will close the wire insertion hole 5 to prevent dust from entering.

[0034] Specifically, when optical fiber connection is required, the optical fiber end is inserted into the wire insertion hole 5. During the insertion process, since the contact surface between the end and the clamp 14 is an inclined surface, a thrust will be generated on the clamp 14. This thrust causes the upper and lower clamps 14 to perform a lifting movement inside the fixing frame 4. The lifting of the clamp 14 will drive the sliders 8 fixed on both sides to perform lifting and sliding inside the slide rail 7, and at the same time, it will also drive the lifting plate 12 at the top to lift on the outer wall of the fixing column 11. Such a movement process will stretch the first spring 9. When the end is completely inserted into the wire insertion hole 5, the first spring 9 will clamp the end through the reaction force of springback, so as to keep the end stably inserted, ensure that the end can remain stable after insertion, reduce the shaking or displacement of the end, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the connection. At the same time, when the end is not inserted, it will be closed, which can prevent external dust, debris or other pollutants from entering the wire insertion hole 5, protect the cleanliness and integrity of the wire insertion hole 5. At the same time, the stable connection helps to extend the service life of the end and reduce the frequency of maintenance and replacement.

[0035] Referring to Figure 1, the switch assembly includes a button 2 and a display lamp 3. The outer wall of the button 2 is fixedly connected inside the body 1, and the outer wall of the display lamp 3 is fixedly connected inside the body 1 to turn on the device and display the internal situation with lights.

[0036] Specifically, the device is switched on and off through the button 2, and its operation is simple and convenient. The user can easily control the opening and closing of the device, and the start of the device can be displayed through the display lamp 3, which can intuitively inform the user of the start state of the device and enable the user to quickly understand the working condition of the device.

[0037] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 , a rotating hole 19 is provided inside the fixing frame 4. The rotating hole 19 facilitates the rotation of the clamping post 20. A clamping groove 21 is provided inside the fixing frame 4. The clamping groove 21 Fixed One side of the fixing frame 4 is provided with a fixing plate 6. One side of the fixing plate 6 is fixedly connected with a wire management board 15. The wire management board 15 combs the internal optical fiber cables. One side of the wire management board 15 is fixedly connected with a connecting board 16. The connecting board 16 connects the wire management boards 15 to each other. An internal groove 1 was opened inside the fixing plate 6. A rotary knob 13 is slidably connected inside the fixing plate 6. The two sides of the rotary knob are flat to facilitate the user to rotate. A limiting plate 17 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the rotary knob 13. The outer wall of the limiting plate 17 is slidably connected inside the internal groove 18. One end of the rotary knob 13 is fixedly connected with a connecting post 22. A second spring 23 is sleeved on the outer wall of the connecting post 22. One end of the second spring 23 is fixedly connected inside the internal groove 18. The other end of the second spring 23 is fixedly connected to one end of the limiting plate 17. One end of the connecting post 22 is fixedly connected with a clamping post 20. The outer wall of the clamping post 20 is slidably connected inside the clamping groove 21. The outer wall of the clamping post 20 is rotatably connected inside the rotating hole 19, which is convenient for sorting out the messy optical fiber cables.

[0038] Specifically, when too much optical fiber is inserted and the line becomes messy, press the rotary button 13. The rotary button 13 will drive the limit plate 17 to slide inside the built-in slot 18 and compress the second spring 23. At the same time, the rotary button 13 will also drive the connecting column 22 with one end fixed to move. The connecting column 22 will then drive the clamping column 20 fixed at one end to slide out of the card slot 21. After that, the rotary button 13 can be rotated. By rotating the rotary button 13, the fixed connecting column 22 is driven to rotate, so that the clamping column 20 rotates inside the rotary hole 19. In this way, the fixing plate 6 can be slid, thereby driving the wire arranging plate 15 to move and driving the connecting plate 16 to move at the same time, so that a row of wire arranging plates 15 move, realizing the arrangement of the internal optical fiber wires. This facilitates the distinction of the optical fiber wires for adjustment. After completion, it is put back in place. Rotate the rotary button 13 again. By rotating the rotary button 13, the clamping column 20 is driven to rotate inside the rotary hole 19. Then release the rotary button 13. The rebound of the second spring 23 will drive the limit plate 17 back to its original position, and then drive the rotary button 13 back to its original position. The clamping column 20 is moved into the card slot 21 through the rotary button 13, and the wire arranging plate 15 is put back in place to prevent loss, making the optical fiber wires arranged neatly, reducing line chaos and crossing, improving the aesthetics of wiring. A clear line layout helps to quickly locate and identify optical fiber wires, facilitating management and maintenance work. At the same time, neat wiring can reduce interference between optical fiber wires, improving the quality and stability of signal transmission. Neat wiring provides convenience for subsequent expansion and upgrade, reducing the workload of rewiring.

[0039] Working principle: When optical fiber connection is required, insert its end into the jack 5. During insertion, since the contact surface with the fixture 14 is an inclined plane, a thrust is generated on it, causing the upper and lower fixtures 14 to move up and down inside the fixing frame 4. Then, the fixture 14 drives the fixed sliders 8 on both sides to move up and down and slide inside the slide rail 7. At the same time, the fixture 14 drives the top lifting plate 12 to move up and down on the outer wall of the fixed column 11 to stretch the first spring 9, so as to insert the end into the jack 5. Then, the end is clamped by the elastic force of the first spring 9 rebounding to keep it stably inserted. When too much optical fiber is inserted and its line is messy, press the rotary button 13. The rotary button 13 drives the limiting plate 17 to slide inside the built-in groove 18, compresses the second spring 23 through the limiting plate 17, and at the same time drives the connecting column 22 fixed at one end to move through the rotary button 13. Then, the clamping column 20 fixed at one end is driven by the connecting column 22 to slide out of the clamping groove 21. Then, the rotary button 13 can be rotated. The fixed connecting column 22 is driven by the rotary button 13 to rotate, so as to drive the clamping column 20 to rotate inside the rotation hole 19. Only in this way can the fixing plate 6 be slid to drive the cable arranging plate 15 to move, then drive the connecting plate 16 to move, and then drive a row of cable arranging plates 15 to move, so as to arrange the internal optical fiber wires, facilitate their classification and adjustment. After completion, put it back. Then, rotate the rotary button 13 again. The clamping column 20 is driven by the rotary button 13 to rotate inside the rotation hole 19. Then, release the rotary button 13. The limiting plate 17 is driven to return to its original position by the elastic force of the second spring 23 rebounding, so as to drive the rotary button 13 to return to its original position. Thus, the clamping column 20 is moved into the clamping groove 21 through the rotary button 13 to put the cable arranging plate 15 back to its original position.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent substitution on some of the technical features. Any modification, equivalent substitution, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
