Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of optical cable lines, and in particular to an optical cable junction box. Background Art

[0002] The optical cable splice box has the function of protecting the connecting part of the components. It is a must-use equipment for the optical fiber fusion splicing part in the construction of optical cable line projects. It is also one of the most important equipment. The quality of the optical cable splice box directly affects the quality of the optical cable line and the service life of the optical cable line.

[0003] Common optical cable splice closures feature an upper and lower housing that snap together and are secured together with multiple bolts. When workers need to inspect the optical cables inside the closure, they must use tools like screwdrivers to unscrew these bolts one by one to open the closure. This cumbersome operation reduces worker efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The content of this application is used to briefly introduce concepts that will be described in detail in the detailed description section below. The content of this application is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the technical solution for which protection is sought, nor is it intended to limit the scope of the technical solution for which protection is sought.

[0030] Reference Figure 1-6 ,

[0031] An optical cable junction box comprises: an upper shell 1, a lower shell 2 and a buckle 3; the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 are both made of hard

[0032] Made of engineering plastic, the interior space of the upper and lower shells 1 and 2, when fastened together, is used to accommodate optical cables. The upper end of the clip 3 is pivotally connected to the upper shell 1, while the lower end of the clip 3 engages the lower shell 2, securing the upper and lower shells 1 and 2 together. To separate the upper and lower shells 1 and 2, a worker rotates the clip 3 around its connection with the upper shell 1, separating the lower end of the clip 3 from the lower shell 2. This releases the clip 3 from the lower shell 2, allowing the worker to easily separate the upper and lower shells 1 and 2.

[0033] Specifically, the buckle 3 comprises a connecting ring 31 and a pinch plate 32. The upper end of the connecting ring 31 is pivotally connected to the upper housing 1, while the other end of the connecting ring 31 is pivotally connected to the middle portion of the pinch plate 32. The edge of the lower housing 2 is recessed upward to form a snap groove 21, and the upper end of the pinch plate 32 snaps into engagement with the snap groove 21. The upper housing 1 is secured to the lower housing 2 via the connecting ring 31 and pinch plate 32, respectively. The pinch plate 32 and the connecting ring 31 work together to form a lever structure. When a worker manually rotates the lower end of the pinch plate 32 around the lower end of the connecting ring 31 away from the lower housing 2, the upper end of the pinch plate 32 abuts against the snap groove 21 and rotates. The connecting ring 31 rotates around its connection with the upper housing 1 until the middle portion of the pinch plate 32 moves away from the lower housing 2, allowing the upper end of the pinch plate 32 to slide down and disengage from the snap groove 21. At this point, the pinch plate 32 releases its restraint on the lower housing 2, allowing the worker to separate the upper and lower housings 1 and 2. When workers need to fix the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 together, they only need to rotate the connecting ring 31 to bring the buckle plate 32 closer to the lower shell 2, and then rotate the upper end of the buckle plate 32 around the middle of the buckle plate 32 itself and insert it into the slot 21 until the lower end of the buckle plate 32 fits against the lower surface of the lower shell 2.

[0034] Specifically, the connecting ring 31 is C-shaped, with slots 321 formed on either side of the pinch plate 32. The two ends of the connecting ring 31 are rotatably inserted into the slots 321 on either side of the pinch plate 32. The edge of the upper shell 1 is recessed downward to form a retaining groove 11, and the middle portion of the connecting ring 31 is rotatably connected to the retaining groove 11. A worker can move the two ends of the connecting ring 31 away from each other until the ends of the connecting ring 31 are removed from the slots 321 of the pinch plate 32, at which point the connecting ring 31 is separated from the pinch plate 32. The worker can also pull the connecting ring 31 upward out of the retaining groove 11, at which point the connecting ring 31 is separated from the upper shell 1, making it easier to replace the buckle 3.

[0035] Specifically, it also includes: a connecting bolt 4. A threaded hole 12 is formed on the edge of the upper shell 1, and a through hole 22 is formed on the edge of the lower shell 2. The threaded hole 12 is coaxial with the through hole 22. The column section of the connecting bolt 4 is inserted through the through hole 22 of the lower shell 2 and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 12 of the upper shell 1. The head of the connecting bolt 4 presses on the edge of the lower shell 2 to strengthen the connection between the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2. For junction boxes that do not require frequent maintenance, the connecting bolt 4 cooperates with the buckle 3 to fix the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 more firmly. Since the lower shell 2 forms a smooth through hole 22, only a portion of the thread of the column section of the connecting bolt 4 engages with the threaded hole 12 of the upper shell 1. Therefore, when the worker turns the connecting bolt 4, the connecting bolt 4 encounters less obstruction and turns more labor-savingly.

[0036] Specifically, the edge of the upper shell 1 forms an upper half groove 13, and the edge of the lower shell 2 forms a lower half groove 23. When the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 are buckled together, the upper half groove 13 and the lower half groove 23 are connected to form a wiring hole, and the external optical cable can be connected to the optical cable junction box through the wiring hole.

[0037] Specifically, it also includes: an optical cable splice tray 5 and an optical cable clamp 6. The optical cable splice tray is fixed to the upper shell 1 by screws. The optical cable splice tray has an opening facing the wiring hole. The optical cable clamp 6 is fixed to the upper shell 1 by screws. The optical cable clamp 6 is arranged between the opening of the optical cable splice tray and the wiring hole to guide and fix the optical cable.

[0038] Specifically, a first hanging hole 14 is formed on the edge of the upper shell 1, and a second hanging hole 24 is formed on the edge of the lower shell 2. The first hanging hole 14 is coaxial with the second hanging hole 24. When installing the optical cable junction box, workers can insert the first hanging hole 14 and the second hanging hole 24 into hanging devices such as hooks on the wall, and the arrangement range is relatively flexible.

[0039] The above description is only an illustration of some preferred embodiments of the present disclosure and the technical principles used. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the invention involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure is not limited to the technical solutions formed by the specific combination of the above-mentioned technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by any combination of the above-mentioned technical features or their equivalent features without departing from the above-mentioned inventive concept. For example, the above-mentioned features are replaced with (but not limited to) technical features with similar functions disclosed in the embodiments of the present disclosure.
