Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of optical fiber adapter detection, in particular to an optical fiber adapter performance detection tool. Background Art
[0002] Fiber optic connectors are the most commonly used passive optical components in fiber optic communication systems. Most fiber optic connectors consist of three parts: two fiber connectors and a coupler. The two fiber connectors fit into the ends of the two fibers; the coupler serves as an alignment sleeve. Couplers are often equipped with metal or non-metallic flanges to facilitate connector installation and securement.
[0003] Patent publication number CN221224164U discloses an LC fiber optic adapter testing device, which includes a testing platform with a movable chamber defined within. A first hydraulic cylinder is vertically positioned in the middle of the bottom side of the movable chamber. A support block is horizontally fixed to the top of the first hydraulic cylinder, and a placement slot is defined on the upper side of the support block. The device controls the first hydraulic cylinder to descend to the testing structure for testing via a controller. The positioning clamping structure allows the first hydraulic cylinder to be accurately inserted into the adapter to be tested for testing, thereby improving testing efficiency.
[0004] However, the device has the problem that only one fiber optic adapter can be placed in the placement slot at a time for clamping and testing, and after the test is completed, the support block needs to be moved up, and the two clamping blocks need to be removed to remove the tested fiber optic adapter before the performance test of other adapters can be continued. If there are a large number of adapters to be tested, the installation and removal operations need to be repeated continuously. The process is very cumbersome and greatly affects the performance test efficiency of the fiber optic adapter. Therefore, a fiber optic adapter performance test tool is proposed to solve the problem that the existing adapter test tool is difficult to quickly perform performance test on the fiber optic adapter.

[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0021] Example: See Figure 1-4A fiber optic adapter performance testing tool comprises a tool body 1, a feed trough 2 is provided on the top of the tool body 1, an electric telescopic rod 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the feed trough 2, a top plate 4 and an elastic ejection mechanism 5 are provided inside the feed trough 2, a baffle 6 is provided on the top of the tool body 1, a rotating column 7 is rotatably connected to the top of the tool body 1, a pin 8 is passed through the top of the baffle 6 and movably connected, fixed blocks 9 are fixedly connected at symmetrical positions at both ends of the top of the tool body 1, an electric push rod 10 is fixedly connected to one end of the fixed block 9, a detection plug 11 is fixedly connected to the end of the electric push rod 10, a discharge mechanism 12 is provided at the bottom of the baffle 6, and a baffle 15 adapted to the fiber optic adapter to be tested is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the feed trough 2.
[0022] Furthermore, a socket corresponding to the pin 8 is provided on the top of the tool body 1, the feed trough 2 has the same shape as the optical fiber adapter whose performance is to be tested, the top plate 4 has the same shape as the feed trough 2 and the two are slidably connected.
[0023] Furthermore, the elastic ejection mechanism 5 includes a limiting column 501 symmetrically and fixedly connected to the bottom of the top plate 4 , a spring 502 is provided on the outside of the limiting column 501 , and a fixing plate 503 is fixedly connected to the top of the electric telescopic rod 3 .
[0024] Furthermore, the limiting column 501 passes through the fixed plate 503 and the two are slidably connected. The top and bottom of the spring 502 are fixedly connected to the top plate 4 and the fixed plate 503 respectively. In the process of using the electric telescopic rod 3 to move the fixed plate 503 upward, the spring 502 outside the limiting column 501 cooperates with the top plate 4 to push out the optical fiber adapter. The optical fiber adapter will not have hard contact with the baffle 6, avoiding damage to the adapter. At the same time, with the elastic force of the spring 502, there will be a certain extrusion pressure between the optical fiber adapter and the baffle 6, ensuring the stability of the optical fiber adapter, improving the safety of the optical fiber adapter performance detection tooling and the stability of the optical fiber adapter during detection.
[0025] Furthermore, the distance between the baffle 6 and the tooling body 1 is equal to the thickness of the optical fiber adapter to be tested. When the optical fiber adapter to be tested is moved to the bottom and flush with the tooling body 1, the interface on the optical fiber adapter corresponds to the detection plug 11. The electric telescopic rod 3 cooperates with the elastic ejection mechanism 5 and the top plate 4 to push the single adapter out of the feed trough 2, and the electric push rod 10 on the fixed block 9 drives the detection plug 11 to be inserted into the adapter interface to detect performance. After the detected adapter is removed, the next adapter is continued to be moved out for testing, and the detection is repeated continuously to improve the detection efficiency.
[0026] Furthermore, the discharge mechanism 12 includes a T-slot 121 provided at the bottom of the baffle 6, a T-plate 122 is provided for sliding on the T-slot 121, a handle 123 is fixedly connected to one side of the T-plate 122, and a discharge rack 124 adapted to the adapter is fixedly connected to the bottom of the T-plate 122, the right side of the discharge rack 124 is aligned with the left boundary of the feed trough 2, the bottom of the baffle 6, the bottom of the T-plate 122 and the top of the tooling body 1 are relatively smooth, and after the optical fiber adapter is detected, the handle 123 is used to drive the T-plate 122 in the T-slot 121 to move to the right, and the discharge rack 124 adapted to the optical fiber adapter is adjusted. The optical fiber adapter can be removed from the top of the feed trough 2 by removing the rack 124. After the new adapter to be tested is automatically removed from the feed trough 2, the T-plate 122 is reset to wait for the next adapter to be discharged, thereby achieving the purpose of convenient removal and recycling of the optical fiber adapter and facilitating the performance testing of the adapter. Moreover, when the T-plate 122 is moved to remove the tested adapter, the left side of the discharge rack 124 is located on the top of the new tested adapter, and during the resetting process of the T-plate 122, the new adapter to be removed for testing can be limited by cooperating with the blocking rack 15 to prevent the adapter from moving due to the movement of the T-plate 122, thereby ensuring the smooth subsequent testing of the adapter.
[0027] Furthermore, a groove 13 is provided on one side of the tool body 1, and a collection box 14 is provided inside the groove 13. The optical fiber adapter removed by the discharge mechanism 12 will directly fall into the collection box 14 in the groove 13. After all the optical fiber adapters are inspected, they can be taken out using the handle on one side of the collection box 14, thereby achieving the purpose of unified recycling and processing of the inspected optical fiber adapters.
[0028] Working principle: When using this fiber optic adapter performance testing tool, remove the pin 8, rotate the baffle 6 90 degrees through the rotating column 7, and place several fiber optic adapters that need to be tested in the feed trough 2 to reset the baffle 6. Turn on the electric telescopic rod 3 to cooperate with the elastic ejection mechanism 5 and the top plate 4 to eject the single adapter out of the feed trough 2. Use the electric push rod 10 on the fixed block 9 to drive the test plug 11 to insert into the adapter interface to test the performance. After the tested adapter is removed, the next adapter is removed for testing. Repeated testing improves the testing efficiency and solves the problem that the existing adapter testing tool is difficult to quickly perform performance testing on fiber optic adapters.
