Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical fiber connection technology, and in particular to an optical fiber connection mechanism for communication networks. Background Technology

[0002] Optical fiber is short for optical waveguide fiber. It is a type of fiber made of glass or plastic that can be used as a light transmission tool. The optical fiber splicing mechanism in communication network is mainly used to connect two optical fibers. When it is necessary to extend the optical fiber line, repair the optical fiber break, or build a complex optical fiber network topology, the optical fiber splicing mechanism is required.

[0003] However, traditional fiber optic splicing mechanisms are very troublesome when splicing fibers, especially in situations with limited space. The fiber insertion process is very inconvenient, requiring the fiber to be laboriously inserted from one end of the cylinder. Furthermore, when subjected to external torsion, the fiber is easily damaged internally or broken due to excessive torsion.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new fiber optic connection mechanism for communication networks to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem solved by this utility model is to provide a fiber optic splicing mechanism for communication networks that is easy to use, allows for easy insertion and clamping of optical fibers into a protective cylinder, and is simple to operate.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the fiber optic docking mechanism for the communication network provided by this utility model includes: a fiber optic terminal, a second fiber optic cable, a connector, and a first fiber optic cable. One end of the second fiber optic cable is fixedly installed on one side of the fiber optic terminal, and the first fiber optic cable is disposed at the other end of the second fiber optic cable. A connector is fixedly installed on the side of the second fiber optic cable and the side of the first fiber optic cable that are close to each other. The two connectors are movably connected. A rotating seat is fixedly installed on one side of the fiber optic terminal. A raceway is provided on the inner wall of the rotating seat. A cylinder is provided inside the rotating seat. One end of the cylinder extends outside the rotating seat. A connecting clutch structure is also provided on the cylinder. A plurality of balls are evenly distributed on the outer wall of the cylinder. The plurality of balls are disposed in the raceway and in contact with the raceway. Two dustproof caps are provided on the side of the cylinder away from the fiber optic terminal. An inner groove is provided inside the cylinder. A first connecting plate and a second connecting plate are provided in the inner groove. One end of the second connecting plate is hinged to the first connecting plate. The other end of the second connecting plate extends outside the cylinder and is fixedly connected to the dustproof caps. Protective hoses are fixedly installed on the side of the two dustproof caps away from the cylinder.

[0007] Preferably, the connecting clutch structure includes a button disposed on the outer wall of the cylinder, two limiting rods disposed inside the cylinder, the top ends of the two limiting rods extending outside the cylinder and fixedly connected to the bottom of the button, a top rod fixedly installed at the bottom of the button, a protrusion disposed inside the dust cover, the top end of the protrusion extending outside the dust cover, the bottom end of the top rod contacting the top end of the protrusion, a first spring fixedly installed at the bottom of the protrusion, and the other end of the first spring fixedly connected to the dust cover.

[0008] Preferably, a second spring is sleeved on the outer side of each of the two limiting rods, and the two ends of the second spring are fixedly connected to the button and the cylinder, respectively.

[0009] Preferably, a hinge is rotatably installed between the outer walls of the two dust cover, and each of the two dust cover outer walls is provided with a fixing ear. The two fixing ears are compatible with each other, and a fixing bolt is provided between the two fixing ears. Two buckles are fixedly installed on the outer walls of the two protective hoses.

[0011] Preferably, the second optical fiber and the first optical fiber are located inside the cylinder and the protective hose, respectively.

[0012] Compared with related technologies, the fiber optic connection mechanism for communication networks provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0013] This invention provides a fiber optic splicing mechanism for communication networks. The mechanism comprises a cylinder, ball bearings, raceways, a rotating base, and a fiber optic terminal. The ball bearings and raceways allow the cylinder to rotate flexibly, preventing damage to the fiber optic cable due to accidental twisting. Since fiber optic cables are fragile, excessive twisting due to external factors can cause breakage or damage to the internal optical path. The cylinder also provides physical protection against impacts, pressure, and friction. A first spring, a protrusion, a limiting rod, a second spring, a button, and a push rod work together to allow for easy separation of the cylinder and dust cover when inspecting, repairing, or replacing components at the fiber optic splice. This enables technicians to easily access the fiber optic splice without complex disassembly. The entire protective device effectively shortens maintenance time. Through the cooperation of the limiting block, sliding groove, first connecting plate, and second connecting plate, the first and second connecting plates ensure that the cylinder and dust cover are integrated, fixing the positions of the two cylinders and making it easier to determine their positions. This ensures precise fiber optic connection and prevents the dust cover from falling out of place during separation. The cooperation of the fixing lug, fixing bolt, dust cover, protective hose, and buckle allows for easy insertion of the fiber into the protective cylinder, eliminating the need for laborious threading from one end. The two dust covers and two protective hoses clamp the fiber, making its position inside the cylinder more stable and reducing the risk of damage due to shaking or displacement.

A cylinder 3 is located inside the rotating seat 2, with one end extending outside the rotating seat 2. The cylinder 3 also has a connecting clutch structure. Multiple balls 6 are evenly distributed on the outer wall of the cylinder 3, allowing the cylinder 3 to rotate flexibly on the rotating seat 2. To prevent damage to the optical fiber due to accidental twisting, multiple ball bearings 6 are disposed within and in contact with the raceway 7. Two dustproof caps 12 are provided at the end of the cylinder 3 away from the optical fiber terminal 1. An inner groove 10 is provided inside the cylinder 3, and a first connecting plate 9 and a second connecting plate 11 are provided in the inner groove 10. The first connecting plate 9 and the second connecting plate 11 are hinged to ensure that the cylinder 3 and the dustproof caps 12 are in a connected state, preventing the dustproof caps 12 from falling to other places when separated. One end of the second connecting plate 11 is hinged to the first connecting plate 9, and the other end of the second connecting plate 11 extends outside the cylinder 3 and is fixedly connected to the dustproof caps 12. Protective hoses 5 are fixedly installed on the side of each of the two dustproof caps 12 away from the cylinder 3.

[0023] The connection clutch structure includes a button 14 disposed on the outer wall of the cylinder 3. Two limiting rods 16 are provided inside the cylinder 3. The top ends of the two limiting rods 16 extend outside the cylinder 3 and are fixedly connected to the bottom of the button 14. A top rod 15 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the button 14.

A first spring 18 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the protrusion 17. The other end of the first spring 18 is fixedly connected to the dust cover 12. When the button 14 is pressed, technicians can easily access the fiber optic splice without having to dismantle the entire protective device, thus effectively shortening maintenance time.

[0024] A second spring 19 is sleeved on the outer side of each of the two limiting rods 16, and the two ends of the second spring 19 are fixedly connected to the button 14 and the cylinder 3, respectively.

[0025] A hinge is rotatably installed between the outer walls of the two dust cover 12. Each of the two dust cover 12 has a fixing ear 21 on its outer wall. The two fixing ears 21 are compatible with each other. A fixing bolt 22 is provided between the two fixing ears 21.

[0027] The second optical fiber 8 and the first optical fiber 4 are located inside the cylinder 3 and the protective hose 5, respectively.

[0028] The working principle of the fiber optic connection mechanism for the communication network provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0029] First, when it is necessary to connect the second optical fiber 8 with the first optical fiber 4, press button 14. During the descent of button 14, push rod 15 moves downward and pushes protrusion 17 out of cylinder 3. At this time, pull out dust cover 12. When dust cover 12 is pulled out a certain distance, limit block 20 restricts the first connecting plate 9. Remove fixing bolt 22 and release buckle 24 to open the two rotating seats 5 and the two dust covers 12. Then connect the two connectors 13 of the first optical fiber 4 and the second optical fiber 8. Then put the first optical fiber 4 into the protective hose 5 so that the connector 13 is located inside the dust cover 12. Close the protective hose 5 and dust cover 12 and continue to fix them by buckle 24 and fixing bolt 22. Push dust cover 12 into cylinder 3. When pushed a certain distance, first spring 18 pushes protrusion 17 out so that its top end extends into cylinder 3. This completes the connection and protection of the optical fibers.

[0030] Compared with related technologies, the fiber optic connection mechanism for communication networks provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0031] This utility model provides a fiber optic splicing mechanism for a communication network. The mechanism comprises a cylinder 3, ball bearings 6, raceways 7, a rotating seat 2, and a fiber optic terminal 1. The ball bearings 6 and raceways 7 allow the cylinder 3 to rotate flexibly, preventing damage to the fiber optic cable due to accidental twisting. Since fiber optic cables are fragile, excessive twisting due to external factors can cause breakage or damage to the internal optical path. The cylinder 3 also provides physical protection against external impacts, pressure, and friction. A first spring 18, a protrusion 17, a limiting rod 16, a second spring 19, a button 14, and a push rod 15 work together to allow for easy access to the fiber optic splice by pressing the button 14 when inspection, repair, or replacement of components is required.

Through the cooperation of the limiting block 20, the sliding groove 23, the first connecting plate 9, and the second connecting plate 11, the first connecting plate 9 and the second connecting plate 11 can ensure that the cylinder 3 and the dust cover 12 are in a connected state, so that the positions of the two cylinders are relatively fixed, making it easier to determine their positions, ensuring that the optical fiber can be accurately connected, and also preventing the dust cover 12 from falling to other places and not being found when separated. Through the cooperation of the fixing ear 21, fixing bolt 22, dust cover 12, protective hose 5, and buckle 24, the optical fiber can be easily put into the protective cylinder without having to laboriously insert the optical fiber from one end of the cylinder. Furthermore, the two dust covers 12 and the two protective hoses 5 clamp the optical fiber, which can make the position of the optical fiber inside the cylinder more stable and reduce the risk of damage to the optical fiber due to shaking or displacement.
