Description

Technical Field

[0002] Optical modules are one of the core components of optical fiber communication systems. They are responsible for photoelectric conversion, that is, converting electrical signals into optical signals for transmission, or converting received optical signals into electrical signals. Optical modules typically include a transmitting part and a receiving part, corresponding to the transmission and reception of optical signals, respectively. With the development of optical communication technology, optical modules are developing towards higher speeds, longer distances, lower power consumption, and smaller sizes. At the same time, in order to meet the needs of different application scenarios, the types and specifications of optical modules are also constantly increasing.

[0003] Current automatic temperature calibration devices for optical modules have limited temperature control capabilities. They cannot quickly regulate the internal temperature of the casing using electric heating elements and fans. The slow speed may result in untimely temperature adjustments, making it difficult to adapt to changes in the external environment or the working requirements of the optical module. Inaccurate temperature control may lead to internal temperature fluctuations, which can affect the performance and lifespan of the optical module, especially in environments with large temperature variations.

This embodiment provides an automatic temperature calibration device for an optical module, including a housing 1 and a heating mechanism 2. The heating mechanism 2 is disposed on the right side of the inner cavity of the housing 1. The heating mechanism 2 includes a support column 201, an electric heating tube 202 and heat insulation cotton 203. The support column 201 is fixedly installed on the right side surface of the inner cavity of the housing 1, the electric heating tube 202 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the support column 201, and the heat insulation cotton 203 is laid on the right side surface of the housing 1.

[0028] Specifically, a cooling mechanism 3 is provided on the left side of the outer casing 1. The cooling mechanism 3 includes an exhaust pipe 301, an exhaust valve 302, an exhaust port 303, a cross bracket 304, a driver 305, and a fan 306. The exhaust pipe 301 is fixedly installed on the left side surface of the outer casing 1 and extends to its bottom. The exhaust valve 302 is fixedly installed on the top of the exhaust pipe 301.

[0029] Furthermore, the main function of the exhaust pipe 301 is to serve as a hot air exhaust channel, which can effectively exhaust the hot air generated inside the device to the outside, thereby helping to reduce the internal temperature. The exhaust valve 302 is used to control the air flow in the exhaust pipe 301. By opening or closing the valve, the amount of hot air discharged can be adjusted, thereby controlling the internal temperature of the device.

[0030] Specifically, the exhaust port 303 is opened on the left side surface of the housing 1, the exhaust port 303 is connected through the exhaust pipe 301, the cross bracket 304 is fixedly installed inside the exhaust port 303, the driver 305 is fixedly installed inside the cross bracket 304, and the fan 306 is rigidly connected to the input end of the driver 305 and movably connected to the outside of the cross bracket 304.

[0031] Furthermore: the exhaust port 303 allows hot air to flow from inside the device to the exhaust duct 301, which is a key channel for hot air circulation; the cross bracket 304 provides support and positioning for the fan 306; and the driver 305 is the power source for the fan 306. It drives the fan 306 to rotate by providing rotational torque, generating airflow and helping to accelerate the exhaust of hot air.

[0032] Specifically, a placement mechanism 4 is provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the outer shell 1. The placement mechanism 4 includes a protective frame 401 and a magnetic sheet 402. The protective frame 401 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the outer shell 1, and the magnetic sheet 402 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the protective frame 401 and fixedly connected to the outer shell 1.

[0033] Furthermore, the main function of the protective frame 401 is to provide a stable platform for placing the optical module. The protective frame 401 can protect the optical module from external impacts and vibrations, ensuring the stability and safety of the optical module during the calibration process. The function of the magnetic sheet 402 is to fix the optical module with magnetic force to prevent it from moving or falling off during the temperature calibration process. The magnetism of the magnetic sheet 402 can ensure that the optical module is tightly attached to the protective frame 401, and can maintain the stability of the optical module's position even under the condition of thermal expansion and contraction caused by temperature changes.

[0034] Specifically, a hatch 5 is movably connected to the front of the outer shell 1, a sealing strip 8 is provided on the contact surface between the hatch 5 and the outer shell 1, a connecting buckle 7 is fixedly installed at the connection between the hatch 5 and the right side of the outer shell 1, and a handle 6 is fixedly connected to the front of the hatch 5.

[0035] Furthermore: the sealing strip 8 mainly provides a sealed interface to prevent air, moisture, dust and other substances from entering the device; the connecting buckle 7 is used to fix the hatch 5 to ensure its stability and safety in the closed state; and the handle 6 provides a convenient gripping point for the user to open and close the hatch 5.

[0036] Specifically, a processor 9 is fixedly installed on the top of the outer casing 1, a communication interface 10 is provided on the right side of the back of the processor 9, and a temperature sensor 11 is fixedly installed on the left side of the bottom of the inner cavity of the outer casing 1.

[0037] Furthermore: The processor 9 is the core control unit of the entire device. It is responsible for receiving temperature data from the temperature sensor 11 and controlling the operation of the heating mechanism 2 and the cooling mechanism 3 according to the preset temperature calibration algorithm and parameters, so as to achieve precise control and automatic calibration of the optical module temperature. The communication interface 10 is used to realize data exchange between the device and external devices. The temperature sensor 11 is used to monitor the internal temperature of the device in real time and transmit the detected temperature data to the processor 9 so that the processor 9 can adjust the operation of the heating and cooling system according to the data to ensure that the optical module operates within the preset temperature range.

[0038] Specifically, a display 12 is fixedly installed on the right side of the back of the casing 1, a control button 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the left side of the back of the casing 1, and a voice broadcaster 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the left side of the back of the casing 1.

[0039] Furthermore: the display 12 is used to display key parameters such as the device's operating status, temperature data, calibration progress, and fault information; the control button 13 is used for manual operation and adjustment of the device's settings; and the voice broadcaster 14 is used to convey the device's status information, operation instructions, or alarm prompts to the user via voice.

[0040] Working principle:

[0041] In use, first, turn on the power of the device using control button 13, view the display 12, and set the desired optical module operating temperature using control button 13. This temperature is a key parameter for achieving optimal operation. Open the door 5 with the sealing strip 8 to ensure the stability of the internal environment during calibration. Place the optical module inside the protective frame 401, ensuring that the magnetic plate 402 is correctly connected to the optical module to fix its position. The heating mechanism 2 and cooling mechanism 3 will automatically adjust the internal temperature according to the preset temperature parameters. The electric heating tube 202 provides the necessary heat, while the heat insulation cotton 203 helps to prevent heat loss. If the temperature needs to be lowered, the exhaust pipe 30... 1 and fan 306 will operate to expel excess heat. The heat will be discharged to the outside through exhaust valve 302 and exhaust port 303. Temperature sensor 11 will continuously monitor the internal temperature of the device and transmit the data to processor 9. Processor 9 will adjust the operation of heating mechanism 2 and cooling mechanism 3 based on the data to ensure that the temperature is always maintained within the set range. The operator can monitor the temperature and system status in real time on display 12. The temperature setting can be manually adjusted when necessary. Any important temperature changes or completion of calibration will provide voice feedback to the operator through voice broadcast 14 to ensure the convenience of operation and the interactivity of the system. After calibration, the power is disconnected and then the door 5 is opened to take out the optical module.

[0042] In summary: The support column 201, electric heating tube 202, and insulation cotton 203 contained within the heating mechanism 2 enable stable and precise heating control for the optical module during use, ensuring that the optical module operates within the set temperature range, thereby guaranteeing its performance and reliability. Furthermore, the heating mechanism 2 incorporates safety features such as overheat protection and temperature monitoring to prevent equipment damage or accidents caused by temperature runaway. The exhaust pipe 301, exhaust valve 302, exhaust port 303, cross bracket 304, driver 305, and fan 306 contained within the cooling mechanism 3 enable the device to expel hot air or moisture generated inside, effectively controlling the temperature of the optical module and ensuring its operation within the set temperature range. The design of the cooling mechanism 3 considers the accuracy and response speed of temperature control, as well as the reliability and durability of the system. These functions are crucial for maintaining the performance of the optical module and extending its service life.
