Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of electronic labels and relates to an electronic label for a fiber splicing tray. Background Art

[0002] An intelligent fiber distribution network (IFD) builds upon the traditional passive fiber distribution network (PFD) by adding intelligent fiber plug detection capabilities to manage, identify, and maintain fiber resources. IFD implementation primarily involves new network construction and legacy network retrofitting. New network construction is generally easier, as the overall IFD equipment structure can be redesigned, and fiber connectors and adapters can be designed to fit the needs. However, retrofitting a traditional PFD network into an IFD is more challenging, primarily because the transformation must not disrupt related network services. This requires that racks, splice trays, and fiber adapters remain unchanged.

[0003] A related solution is to remove the original system's melting plate cover and replace it with a customized smart cover. The smart cover consists of a specially customized cover structure and a printed circuit board (PCB). The customized cover structure uses plastic material and requires cutting, which is very expensive. The printed circuit board needs to be customized according to the appearance of the cover structure to realize the intelligent fiber optic plug detection function. Because the structure of the melting plate cover and printed circuit board is limited by the traditional melting plate housing, different covers and printed circuit boards need to be made according to different models of melting plate housings. Repeated development results in a huge waste of manpower and material resources. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the above problems in the existing technology and to provide a low-cost electronic tag for a fiber splicing tray.

[0005] The purpose of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] The electronic splice tray tag consists of a port tag and a matching pigtail tag. The port tag / pigtail tag is an FPC with an electronic tag read / write interface for reading the paired pigtail tag / port tag information. The FPC is flexible, making it easy to connect to the pigtail tag / port tag, increasing the installation tolerance between the port tag and the pigtail tag, and improving adaptability. It also eliminates the need for a custom smart cover and maintains the original splice tray structure, reducing costs.

[0007] In the above-mentioned fiber splicing tray electronic label, the port label is an FPC, which includes a body and multiple legs arranged on the body. Each leg is provided with an electronic label reading and writing interface, and the legs extend to the pigtail label and are used to read the information of the pigtail label.

[0008] In the above-mentioned fiber splicing tray electronic label, the port label is set on a bracket, which is provided with an installation cavity for installing the body and a plurality of through-holes connected to the installation cavity. The number of the through-holes is equal to the number of the supporting legs, and the supporting legs are passed through the through-holes opposite thereto.

[0009] The main body is completely located in the installation cavity, which supports and protects the main body to prevent it from being damaged, thereby effectively increasing its service life.

[0010] In the above-mentioned fiber splicing tray electronic tag, the bracket includes a mounting portion and a plug-in portion fixedly connected to the mounting portion, the body is arranged in the mounting portion, and the plug-in portion is provided with a positioning structure for positioning the plug-in portion between the fiber splicing tray and the upper cover.

[0011] In the above-mentioned fiber splicing tray electronic label, the installation cavity is opened on the top surface of the installation part, and the plurality of through holes are located at the bottom of the installation cavity. The legs pass downward through the through holes and then bend to the pigtail label.

[0012] The mounting portion is plate-shaped and its width direction extends vertically, the mounting cavity is rectangular and its width direction extends vertically, the length direction of the mounting cavity extends along the length direction of the mounting portion, and a plurality of through holes are sequentially arranged at the bottom of the mounting cavity.

[0013] In the aforementioned splice tray electronic tag, the insert is plate-shaped and extends horizontally. The positioning structure includes several upwardly extending positioning protrusions on the upper surface of the insert. When the insert is properly inserted, the positioning protrusions engage with the stop edge inside the upper cover. Once properly inserted, the stop edge and the positioning protrusions effectively prevent the insert from falling out from between the splice tray and the upper cover.

[0014] In the above-mentioned fiber splice tray electronic tag, the positioning protrusion is provided with a guide slope, which is inclined from front to back and upward along the insertion direction of the plug-in portion. Assuming that the insertion direction of the plug-in portion is from back to front, the guide slope can facilitate the positioning protrusion to pass over the limit stop edge on the inner side of the upper cover.

[0015] In the above-mentioned fiber splicing tray electronic tag, the thickness of the plug-in portion gradually increases from the front to the back. The plug-in portion is smaller at the front and larger at the back, so as to facilitate insertion into the gap between the fiber splicing tray and the upper cover.

[0016] In the above-mentioned electronic label for the fiber splice tray, the pigtail label is an FPC.

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, this fiber splice tray electronic label has the following advantages:

[0018] The FPC is flexible and easy to connect with the pigtail label / port label, which expands the installation tolerance of the port label and the pigtail label and increases adaptability. The original 12 antennas are integrated into an FPC as a port label, which increases the antenna area and the reading distance. There is no need to customize the smart cover plate, and the structure of the original fiber fusion tray is not changed, which reduces costs. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0024] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] like Figure 1 The electronic tag of the fiber splicing tray shown includes a bracket for being inserted between the fiber splicing tray and the upper cover, a port tag provided on the bracket, and a pigtail tag 3 arranged in conjunction with the port tag. The port tag includes a body 21, a plurality of legs 22 provided on the body 21, and an electronic tag reading and writing interface 221 provided on the legs 22. The legs 22 extend to the pigtail tag 3 and are used to read the information of the pigtail tag 3.

[0027] The support leg 22 is flexible, which facilitates connection with the pigtail tag 3, expands the installation tolerance of the port tag and the pigtail tag 3, and increases adaptability; the original 12 antennas are integrated into a main body 21, which increases the antenna area and the reading distance; there is no need to customize the smart cover, and the structure of the original fiber fusion tray is not changed, which reduces costs.

[0028] The electronic tag read / write interface 221 can be divided into a contact interface and a contactless interface. The connection between the electronic tag read / write interface 221 and the pigtail tag 3 can be divided into a wired contact connection and a wireless contactless connection depending on the electronic tag read / write interface 221. Commonly used contact interfaces include contacts or connectors, while commonly used contactless interfaces include RFID antennas. The communication method between the port tag and the pigtail tag 3 is not limited to contact tags such as I-Wire, I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit), SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface), or contactless tags such as RFID.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, the bracket has a mounting cavity 111 for mounting the body 21 and a plurality of through-holes 112 communicating with the mounting cavity 111. The number of through-holes 112 is equal to the number of the legs 22, and the legs 22 extend through the through-holes 112 opposite to the mounting cavity 111. The body 21 is completely located within the mounting cavity 111, which supports and protects the body 21, preventing damage and effectively extending its service life.

[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, the bracket includes a mounting portion 11 and a plug-in portion 12 fixedly connected to the mounting portion 11 , the body 21 is disposed in the mounting portion 11 , and the plug-in portion 12 is provided with a positioning structure for positioning the plug-in portion 12 between the fiber splicing tray and the upper cover.

[0031] Among them, the installation cavity 111 is opened on the top surface of the installation part 11, and a plurality of (12 in this embodiment) through-holes 112 are located at the bottom of the installation cavity 111. The support legs 22 pass downward through the through-holes 112 and then bend into a horizontal state, and then extend horizontally to the top of the fiber pigtail label 3.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, the mounting portion 11 is plate-shaped and its width direction extends vertically, the mounting cavity 111 is rectangular and its width direction extends vertically, the length direction of the mounting cavity 111 extends along the length direction of the mounting portion 11, and a plurality of through holes 112 are sequentially arranged at the bottom of the mounting cavity 111.

[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, the connector 12 is plate-shaped and extends horizontally. The positioning structure includes four positioning protrusions 13 on the upper surface of the connector 12. These four positioning protrusions 13 are evenly arranged along a straight line and extend upward. When the connector 12 is plugged into place, several positioning protrusions 13 are hooked on the limit stop on the inner side of the upper cover. Once plugged into place, the limit stop and the positioning protrusions 13 work together to effectively prevent the connector 12 from falling out between the fiber splicing tray and the upper cover.

[0034] Assume that the plug-in direction of the plug-in portion 12 is from back to front. Figure 4 As shown, the positioning protrusion 13 is provided with a guiding inclined surface for facilitating the positioning protrusion 13 to pass over the inner limit stop edge of the upper cover, and the guiding inclined surface is inclined upward from front to back along the plugging direction of the plug-in portion 12.

[0035] In this embodiment, the thickness of the plug-in portion 12 gradually increases from the front to the back, that is, the plug-in portion 12 is smaller at the front and larger at the back, so as to facilitate insertion into the gap between the fiber splicing tray and the upper cover.
