Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of optical fiber laying engineering equipment, in particular to an aerial work platform for an optical fiber fusion splicer. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of network technology, fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) has become a hotly contested area among major telecom operators. The main optical cable is laid from the central office to residential communities, which then distribute the data to users. During the distribution process, different lengths of optical fiber are selected based on the distance from the user. One end is connected to the user's home distribution box, and the other end is connected to an outdoor fiber optic box, which can be located on the ground or suspended on a utility pole. The fiber fusion operation requires the stability of the fiber fusion splicer, and the two fiber optic heads must remain relatively fixed. When installing and splicing the optical fibers on the pole, installation and maintenance personnel must secure both the fiber fusion splicer and the two fiber optic heads. This makes the operation difficult and inefficient, and sometimes even requires two people to complete. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an aerial work platform for an optical fiber fusion splicer which has a simple structure and can improve fiber fusion efficiency.

[0004] The technical solution for achieving the above-mentioned purpose includes the following contents.

[0005] A fiber optic fusion splicer aerial work platform includes a fusion splicer positioning plate and a fixing fixture. The fusion splicer positioning plate is provided with a plurality of positioning through holes. The number, size and distribution of the positioning through holes correspond to the supporting feet at the bottom of the fiber optic fusion splicer. The fixing fixture includes a base plate, a clamping plate and fixing bolts. The base plate is connected to one side of the fusion splicer positioning plate. The clamping plate is arranged above the base plate. At least two fixing bolts are connected between the clamping plate and the base plate. When in use, the clamping plate and the base plate clamp the bottom panel of the fiber optic box. After tightening the fixing bolts, the work platform is fixed to the front side of the opening of the fiber optic box. The supporting feet of the fiber optic fusion splicer are inserted into the positioning through holes.

[0006] Furthermore, there are two fixing bolts.

[0007] Furthermore, it also includes a photographic positioning module with a communication function, and the photographic positioning module is installed on the positioning plate of the welding machine.

[0008] When the above platform is in use, the operator climbs up the pole, opens the fiber optic box door, clamps the bottom plate of the fiber optic box with a fixing clamp, fixes the platform to the door of the fiber optic box, and inserts the fiber optic fusion splicer into the positioning plate, thereby achieving relative fixation of the fiber optic fusion splicer and the fiber optic box. This makes it very convenient to take out the fiber optic head in the fiber optic box, fix it and the optical fiber at the user end to the fiber optic fusion splicer for fusion splicing operations; a further optimization is that a camera positioning module with communication function is installed on the operating platform, which can perform GPS positioning and box height measurement while construction is in progress, and then upload the box code, operation GPS positioning coordinates, on-site installation pictures, personnel use pictures, and box height measurement data back to the cloud server for data analysis and recording, forming a closed loop for installation and repair fault handling, automated operation, and reducing the workload of construction personnel.

[0009] The optical fiber fusion splicer aerial work platform of the utility model can effectively fix the optical fiber fusion splicer, making it stable during operation and preventing it from moving or tilting and falling from a high altitude, thereby improving operating efficiency. The utility model can be used in all high-altitude fiber fusion scenarios and can effectively reduce the risk of accidents. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0013] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.

[0014] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The platform of this embodiment is used to support a fiber optic fusion splicer with four supporting legs.

[0015] The optical fiber fusion splicer 2 is mounted on a work platform 4-2, and the fixing means 4-3 is fixed to the work platform 4-2 by means of a fixing means 4-3. The fixing means 4-3 is fixed to the work platform 4-2 by means of a fixing means 4-3. The fixing means 4-3 is fixed to the work platform 4-2 by means of a fixing means 4-3. The fixing means 4-3 is fixed to the work platform 4-2 by means of a fixing means 4-3. The fixing means 4-3 is fixed to the work platform 4-2 by means of a fixing means 4-3. The fixing means 4-3 is fixed to the work platform 4-2 by means of a fixing means 4-3. The fixing means 4-3 is fixed to the work platform 4-2 by means of a fixing means 4-3.

[0016] When the aerial work platform of this embodiment is used, the platform is fixed to one side of the bottom panel of the optical fiber box 1 (in front of the opening) by passing the fixing bolts 4-3 through the base plate 4-2 and the frame plate, so that the four supporting feet at the bottom of the optical fiber fusion splicer 2 are aligned with the four positioning holes 3-1 and inserted into them. The optical fiber fusion splicer 2 is fixed to the positioning plate 3, and the optical fiber fusion splicing operation can be carried out at this time. Since the optical fiber fusion splicer 2 remains fixed relative to the optical fiber box 1, the stability during the operation is ensured, and one operator can complete all the processes with high operation efficiency and operator safety. The camera positioning module 5 attached to the platform automatically takes a picture of the optical fiber box 1 and performs GPS positioning and box height measurement when fusing optical fibers, and then uploads the box code, operation GPS positioning coordinates, and box height measurement data back to the cloud server for data analysis and recording, forming a closed loop for installation and repair fault handling, automated operation, and reducing the workload of construction personnel.

[0017] The optical fiber fusion splicer aerial work platform of this embodiment can improve the operator's fiber fusion efficiency, ensure the safety of the operation, and can be operated automatically to reduce the labor of construction workers. It has the advantages of simple structure, easy installation and high safety.
