Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of compact optical multiplexers for high-speed networks, and more particularly to a compact optical multiplexer for high-speed networks. Background Technology

[0002] According to Chinese Publication No. CN217238447U, an optical fiber wavelength division multiplexer (WDM) includes a WDM body. An extension plate is provided at the optical fiber insertion port of the WDM body, and the extension plate has a corresponding insertion hole at the optical fiber insertion port. Rotating side plates are rotatably mounted on both sides of the extension plate. A hinge is provided on one side of each rotating side plate, and a mounting main board is provided on one side of the hinge. Protective cover assemblies are rotatably mounted on both the upper and lower surfaces of the mounting main board. This technical solution protects the connector of the optical fiber cable from external contact, thus ensuring stable connection. Furthermore, the compression of the optical fiber cable by the compression arc plate further reduces the possibility of the optical fiber cable being pulled out by external force, ensuring a stable connection of the optical fiber cable to the WDM body.

[0003] The aforementioned technologies and existing technologies all require each port to be covered with a cap when not in use. This means that the caps must be removed when in use, which is not only troublesome but also prone to causing the caps to be lost. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies where frequent closing and removing of the cover is not only cumbersome but also prone to loss. The invention proposes a compact optical multiplexer for high-speed networks.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a compact optical multiplexer for high-speed networks, comprising a body, a cover on one side of the body, eight ports on the surface of the body, a traction cover on one side of each port, eight through holes on the surface of the cover, mounting grooves on both sides of the body, a fixing component inside each of the two mounting grooves, two slots on the surface of the cover, a return spring inside each of the fixing components, a damping block on one side of each of the two return springs, a locking block on the surface of each of the two damping blocks, two brushes inside the cover, and fixing bolts on one side of each brush and fixing component.

[0006] Preferably, the eight ports are arranged in parallel on the surface of the body, and the ports are aligned with each other.

[0007] Preferably, the diameter of each of the eight traction covers is larger than the diameter of the port, and the bottom of each traction cover is engaged with the surface of the port.

[0008] Preferably, the two mounting slots are positioned parallel to each other, and both fasteners are installed in the mounting slots by two fixing bolts, and the two fasteners are positioned parallel to each other.

[0009] Preferably, both slots are located on the inner wall of the cover, and the positions of the two slots are consistent with the positions of the card blocks.

[0010] Preferably, both damping blocks are located inside the fixing member, and the damping blocks are located between the fixing member and the return spring. The two locking blocks are located on the side of the damping blocks away from the return spring, and one end of each locking block penetrates the fixing member.

[0011] Preferably, the two brushes are mirror-arranged inside the cover with the through hole as the center, and both brushes are fixed to the surface of the inner wall of the cover by six fixing bolts.

[0012] Beneficial effects

[0013] In this invention, two fixing components are installed in mounting slots on both sides of the machine body using fixing bolts. The entire cover is placed over the machine body. When the cover is on the machine body, the locking blocks inside the fixing components on both sides of the machine body abut against the locking slots of the cover. Eight traction covers are secured to the ports of the machine body. Eight through holes are provided on the surface of the machine body, and two brushes are mirror-shaped and arranged on the inner wall of the cover with the through holes as the center. Both brushes are fixed to the inner wall of the cover with six fixing bolts. Thus, when installing optical fibers, the fiber optic interface can be installed into the port of the machine body through the through holes on the surface of the cover. During the installation process, the optical fiber will pass through the two brushes inside the cover, and the two brushes will block the fiber. Dust enters the interior of the cover, and the brushes also remove dust from the surface of the optical fiber. When the optical fiber passes through the brushes, it is pulled by the traction cover, allowing it to be smoothly installed into the port of the machine. This prevents the optical fiber from shifting during installation and causing inconvenience. When not in use, the optical fiber can be directly unplugged from the port. During the unplugging process, the optical fiber passes between the two brushes. When it is pulled out, the bristles of the brushes return to their original positions, blocking the through hole of the cover and preventing dust from entering the interior of the cover and clogging the port. This eliminates the need for frequent installation and removal of the cover, solving the problem that frequent closing and removal of the cover is not only troublesome but also prone to loss.

[0023] To make the technical means, creative features, and achieved objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model is further described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. However, the following embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and not all of them. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments described in the implementation plan without creative effort are all within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0024] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Specific Implementation Example 1:

[0026] Reference Figure 1-7A compact optical multiplexer for high-speed networks includes a body 1, characterized in that: a cover 2 is provided on one side of the body 1; eight ports 7 are provided on the surface of the body 1; a traction cover 6 is provided on one side of each port 7; eight through holes 3 are provided on the surface of the cover 2; mounting grooves 13 are provided on both sides of the body 1; a fixing member 8 is provided inside each of the two mounting grooves 13; two slots 11 are provided on the surface of the cover 2; a return spring 9 is provided inside each of the fixing members 8; a damping block 12 is provided on one side of each of the two return springs 9; a locking block 10 is provided on the surface of each of the two damping blocks 12; two brushes 4 are provided inside the cover 2; a fixing bolt 5 is provided on one side of each brush 4 and the fixing member 8; the eight ports 7 are arranged in a parallel state on the surface of the body 1, and the distance between the ports 7 is consistent; the diameter of each of the eight traction covers 6 is larger than the end... The diameter of port 7 and the bottom of the traction cover 6 are both stuck on the surface of port 7. The two mounting slots 13 are set in parallel positions, and the two fixing parts 8 are installed in the mounting slots 13 by two fixing bolts 5. The two fixing parts 8 are set in parallel positions. The two slots 11 are set on the inner wall of the cover 2, and the positions of the two slots 11 are consistent with the positions of the locking blocks 10. The two damping blocks 12 are set inside the fixing parts 8, and the damping blocks 12 are set between the fixing parts 8 and the return spring 9. The two locking blocks 10 are set on the side of the damping blocks 12 away from the return spring 9, and one end of the locking blocks 10 penetrates the fixing parts 8. The two brushes 4 are mirror-set inside the cover 2 with the through hole 3 as the center, and the two brushes 4 are fixed to the surface of the inner wall of the cover 2 by six fixing bolts 5.

[0027] Two fixing parts 8 are installed in the mounting slots 13 on both sides of the machine body 1 by two fixing bolts 5 on the left and right sides. The two fixing parts 8 are in a horizontal position. Two slots 11 are provided on the inner wall surface of the cover 2, and the position of the slots 11 is consistent with the position of the locking block 10. Inside each of the two fixing parts 8, there is a return spring 9 and a damping block 12. The damping block 12 is located between the return spring 9 and the fixing part 8, and one end of the locking block 10 located on the surface of the damping block 12 penetrates the surface of the fixing part 8. In this way, when the cover 2 is completely covered on the machine body 1, the cover 2 will knock open the locking block 10 inside the fixing part 8, causing the locking block 10 to retract into the fixing part 8. When the cover 2 continues to move and drive When the slot 11 moves to the position of the locking block 10 of the fixing member 8, the locking block 10 will be pushed out and reset to its original position by the elastic force of the return spring 9, so that the locking block 10 is pressed against the slot 11 on the inner wall of the cover 2, thereby fixing the cover 2. The cover 2 will block dust and prevent dust from clogging the port 7. Since the diameter of the eight traction covers 6 on one side of the port 7 is larger than that of the port 7, the bottom of the traction cover 6 can be directly locked onto the top of the port 7 of the body 1. The ports 7 are set in a parallel state on the surface of the body 1, and the distance between each port 7 is equal. The traction cover 6 is a cube with a through state in the middle to allow the optical fiber to pass through. The top of the traction cover 6 is in a state of collapse towards the middle, so that when the optical fiber enters... When the fiber reaches the traction cover 6, it will be pulled into the port 7 by the collapsing traction cover 6 on all four sides. Eight through holes 3 are provided on the surface of the body 1, and two brushes 4 are mirror images of each other on the inner wall of the cover 2, centered on the through holes 3. Both brushes 4 are fixed to the inner wall of the cover 2 by six fixing bolts 5. After installation, the bristles of the two brushes 4 will block the through holes 3 on the surface of the cover 2, preventing dust from entering the interior of the cover 2. Thus, when installing the optical fiber, the fiber optic interface can be installed into the port 7 of the body 1 through the through holes 3 on the surface of the cover 2. During installation, the optical fiber will pass through the two brushes 4 inside the cover 2, and the two brushes 4 will prevent dust from entering the interior of the cover 2. Furthermore, the brushes 4 also... The brush removes dust from the surface of the optical fiber, preventing dust from entering the interior of the cover 2 and clogging the port 7 of the body 1. When the optical fiber passes through the brush 4, it is pulled by the traction cover 6 on one side of the brush 4, allowing the optical fiber to be smoothly installed into the port 7 of the body 1. This prevents the optical fiber from shifting during installation and causing installation inconvenience. When not in use, the end of the optical fiber can be pinched and pulled out of the port 7. During the pulling process, the optical fiber passes between the two brushes 4. When pulled out, the hairs of the brush 4 will elastically return to their original position, thus blocking the through hole 3 of the cover 2 and preventing dust from entering the interior of the cover 2 through the through hole 3 and clogging the port 7. This eliminates the need for frequent installation and removal of the cover.

[0028] When a compact optical multiplexer is used in a high-speed network, the optical wavelengths that transmit the signal are connected to the multiplexer through single-mode optical fiber. The multiplexer combines the signals from multiple fiber cores and outputs the signal through one fiber core. The next-stage device separates the derived signal from each wavelength signal on the physical channel and amplifies the optical signal of each wavelength appropriately to ensure that the optical signal is accurately transmitted to the target device. Specific Implementation Example 2:

[0030] Reference Figure 1-7 A compact optical multiplexer for high-speed networks, further based on the basic structure in Specific Embodiment 1, can have a cover provided at the through hole 3 on the surface of the cover 2. The cover is installed on the surface of the cover 2 by a hinge, and the hinge is located on the top surface of the cover 2 at the through hole 3. A slot 11 is provided at the bottom of the through hole 3, and a locking block 10 is provided on the surface of the cover. The position of the locking block 10 is consistent with the position of the slot 11. In this way, when no fiber optic cable is needed, the cover can be placed on the through hole 3. At this time, the locking block 10 on the surface of the cover will lock in the slot 11, so that the cover will completely block the through hole 3, further preventing dust from entering the interior of the cover 2 and thus blocking the port 7.

[0031] In summary:

[0032] 1. Two fasteners 8 are installed in the mounting slots 13 on both sides of the body 1 using fixing bolts 5. The cover 2 completely covers the body 1. When the cover 2 is on the body 1, the locking blocks 10 inside the fasteners 8 on both sides of the body 1 abut against the locking slots 11 of the cover 2. Eight traction covers 6 are locked onto the ports 7 of the body 1. Eight through holes 3 are provided on the surface of the body 1, and two brushes 4 are mirror images of each other on the inner wall of the cover 2 with the through holes 3 as the center. Both brushes 4 are fixed to the inner wall of the cover 2 by six fixing bolts 5. In this way, when installing optical fiber, the optical fiber interface can be installed into the port 7 of the body 1 through the through holes 3 on the surface of the cover 2. During the installation process, the optical fiber will pass through the two brushes 4 inside the cover 2. Each brush 4 prevents dust from entering the interior of the cover 2 and also brushes away dust from the surface of the optical fiber. When the optical fiber passes through the brush 4, it is pulled by the traction cover 6, allowing it to be smoothly installed into the port 7 of the body 1. This prevents the optical fiber from shifting during installation and causing inconvenience. When not in use, the optical fiber can be directly unplugged from the port 7. During the unplugging process, the optical fiber passes between the two brushes 4. When unplugged, the hairs of the brush 4 will return to their original position, blocking the through hole 3 of the cover 2 and preventing dust from entering the interior of the cover 2 through the through hole 3 and blocking the port 7. This eliminates the need for frequent installation and removal of the cover, solving the problem that frequent closing and removal of the cover is not only troublesome but also prone to loss.
