DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] To make the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0024] The optical fiber jumper storage disc provided by the embodiments of the present application can solve the problem that the existing optical fiber jumper storage disc in the related art only has a basic storage function and is inconvenient for guiding and storing and releasing the optical fiber jumper.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1-3 An optical fiber jumper storage disc includes a support seat 1, a rotating shaft 2 rotatably arranged on the support seat 1, a storage disc 3 sleeved on the rotating shaft 2, a guide arm 4 arranged on the support seat 1, a guide groove 41 for guiding the storage and release of the optical fiber jumper on the guide arm 4, a fastening wheel 5 arranged inside the guide groove 41 and used for fixing the optical fiber jumper in the guide groove 41, and a locking mechanism 6 arranged on the support seat 1 and used for fixing the rotation of the storage disc 3.

[0026] The optical fiber jumper can be orderly stored and released along the guide groove 41 on the guide arm 4, ensuring that the optical fiber jumper will not be disordered or knotted during storage and facilitating the user to quickly find and release the required optical fiber jumper.

[0027] The fastening wheel 5 arranged inside the guide groove 41 fixes the optical fiber jumper by appropriate pressure to prevent it from sliding or falling off during storage. The design of the fastening wheel 5 allows the user to adjust the pressure according to the thickness and number of the optical fiber jumper to ensure the best fixing effect.

[0028] The storage disc 3 is rotated by being sleeved on the rotating shaft 2, thereby facilitating the user to store and release the optical fiber jumper. When it is necessary to fix the position of the storage disc 3, the locking mechanism 6 plays a role in preventing the rotating shaft 2 or a certain part of the storage disc 3 from rotating by locking it. This ensures that the optical fiber jumper will not be accidentally moved or loosened when it is not subjected to external force.

[0029] Through the orderly storage and release mechanism, users can quickly find and connect the required fiber optic jumpers, thereby improving the efficiency of network management. The design of the fastening wheel 5 and the guide slot 41 helps to prevent the fiber optic jumpers from being damaged during storage, prolonging their service life. The addition of the locking mechanism 6 ensures that the fiber optic jumpers will not loosen or fall off when not subjected to external forces, thereby improving the stability of network connections.

[0030] The design of the present storage tray is simple and easy to operate without complex training. At the same time, its compact structure is easy to clean and maintain, reducing maintenance costs.

[0031] By adjusting the pressure of the fastening wheel 5 and the locking position of the locking mechanism 6, the present storage tray can accommodate fiber optic jumpers of different thicknesses and quantities, meeting the diverse needs of different users.

[0032] The support base 1 in the present embodiment includes a bottom plate 11, which is provided with a support column 12. The rotating shaft 2 is rotatably arranged on one side of the support column 12.

[0033] The bottom plate 11 is the base part of the support base, usually made of a sturdy and durable material to ensure the stability and load-bearing capacity of the entire storage tray. The support column 12 is arranged on the bottom plate 11 to support the rotating shaft 2 and the storage tray 3.

[0034] The bottom plate 11 and the support column 12 together form a stable support structure, providing a solid support for the storage tray 3. Whether the storage tray 3 is in a stationary state or a rotating state, the support base 1 can ensure its stability and load-bearing capacity, preventing the storage tray 3 from tipping over or being damaged due to external forces.

[0035] The rotating shaft 2 in the present embodiment is provided at one end with an outwardly extending handle connected thereto, which rotates the storage tray 3 by rotating the handle.

[0036] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the end of the rotating shaft 2 away from the storage tray 3 is threadedly connected to a limiting cylinder 7, which is used for positioning the storage tray 3 on the rotating shaft 2.

[0037] One end of the rotating shaft 2 is connected to the support column 12 of the support base 1, and the other end is connected to the limiting cylinder 7 through screw connection or other fixing means.

[0038] The surface of the rotating shaft 2 is usually smooth to reduce frictional resistance during rotation and improve rotation efficiency.

[0039] The limiting cylinder 7 is a tubular structure with internal threads, whose inner diameter matches the outer diameter of the rotating shaft 2, so as to be fixed on the rotating shaft 2 by threaded connection. One end of the limiting cylinder 7 is connected with the rotating shaft 2, and the other end is in contact with the back or side of the storage disc 3, which plays a role in limiting the movement range of the storage disc on the rotating shaft.

[0040] When the storage disc 3 needs to rotate, the user can drive the rotating shaft 2 to rotate by manual or electric method, thereby driving the storage disc to rotate. The limiting cylinder 7 is connected with the rotating shaft 2 by threaded connection, which plays a role in positioning, preventing the storage disc from moving excessively or falling off during rotation due to external force. By adjusting the position of the limiting cylinder 7 on the rotating shaft 2, the user can control the rotation range and movement distance of the storage disc 3, thereby meeting different storage needs.

[0041] Further, the limiting cylinder 7 is provided with a winding elbow 8, and the storage disc 3 is provided with a through hole 9, and one end of the optical fiber jumper is passed through the through hole 9 and fixed on the winding elbow 8.

[0042] The winding elbow 8 is usually a tubular structure with a curved shape, which is designed to guide the optical fiber jumper to be wound on the storage disc 3 or unwound from it in an orderly manner.

[0043] One end of the winding elbow 8 is connected with or integrated with the limiting cylinder 7, and the other end points to the upper or side of the storage disc 3, so that the optical fiber jumper can smoothly pass through and be fixed on the winding elbow.

[0044] The through hole 9 is a circular or elliptical hole opening in the storage disc 3, which is designed to allow the optical fiber jumper to pass through the storage disc and be fixed on the winding elbow 8.

[0045] The position and number of the through hole 9 can be reasonably arranged according to the size of the storage disc and the number of the optical fiber jumper, so as to ensure that the optical fiber jumper can pass through and be fixed on the winding elbow in an orderly manner. The edge of the through hole 9 is usually smooth treated to reduce the friction and damage of the optical fiber jumper when passing through.

[0046] The guide arm 4 in the embodiment includes a mounting plate 42 and a fixed plate 43 connected with each other, one end of the mounting plate 42 is connected with the support seat 1, the fixed plate 43 is vertically arranged with the storage disc 3, and the guide slot 41 is opened in the fixed plate 43.

[0047] The guide arm 4 is composed of the mounting plate 42 and the fixed plate 43 connected with each other, forming an L-shaped or similar structure.

[0048] The mounting plate 42 is the connecting part between the guide arm 4 and the support seat 1, which has one or more mounting holes or connecting parts, so as to be fixedly connected with the support seat 1 by bolts, nuts or other fasteners.

[0049] The guide groove 41 is a channel formed on the fixed plate 43 for guiding the winding and unwinding of the fiber optic jumper. For example, the guide groove 41 can be designed in a straight line, an arc, or other shapes to accommodate fiber optic jumpers of different lengths and bending degrees.

[0050] In one embodiment, the fastening wheel 5 includes guide wheels 51 rotatably arranged at the bottom and both sides of the guide groove 41, a lead screw 52 threadedly connected to the top of the guide groove 41, an installation frame 53 arranged at the bottom end of the lead screw 52 inside the guide groove 41, and a clamping wheel 54 rotatably arranged on the installation frame 53. Threaded holes compatible with the lead screw 52 are formed on the fixed plate 43, and a hand wheel or knob is arranged at the top end of the lead screw 52.

[0051] The guide wheels 51 are rotatable components arranged at the bottom and both sides of the guide groove 41, and their main function is to guide the fiber optic jumper along the path of the guide groove 41 during winding and unwinding.

[0052] The surface of the guide wheels 51 is usually made of smooth and wear-resistant materials to reduce friction and damage to the fiber optic jumper during passing. By arranging guide wheels 51 at the bottom and both sides of the guide groove 41, it can ensure that the fiber optic jumper remains stable and smooth during winding and unwinding.

[0053] The lead screw 52 is a lead screw arranged at the top of the guide groove 41. It cooperates with the threaded holes formed on the fixed plate 43, and a hand wheel or knob is arranged at the top end of the lead screw 52 for easy manual adjustment. By rotating the hand wheel or knob, the lead screw 52 can be driven to move up and down in the threaded hole, thereby adjusting the tightness of the fiber optic jumper.

[0054] The installation frame 53 is a frame structure arranged at the bottom end of the lead screw 52, which is used to install and support the clamping wheel 54.

[0055] The clamping wheel 54 is a rotatable component arranged on the installation frame 53, and its main function is to clamp and fix the fiber optic jumper. The surface of the clamping wheel 54 is usually made of elastic materials such as rubber or silicone to increase the friction between the fiber optic jumper and reduce damage.

[0056] In actual operation, by adjusting the height of the lead screw 52, the contact pressure and clamping force between the clamping wheel 54 and the fiber optic jumper can be changed, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the tightness of the fiber optic jumper.

[0057] In one embodiment, the locking mechanism 6 includes a fixed seat 61 arranged on the support seat 1, two cylinders 62 are oppositely embedded on the fixed seat 61, the inside of the cylinders 62 is provided with threads, a lead screw 63 is screwed in the inside of the cylinders 62, one end of the lead screw 63 is in contact with the storage disc 3, and the other end of the lead screw 63 is provided with a knob. The lead screw 63 is matched with the threads in the inside of the cylinders 62.

[0058] The fixed seat 61 is the basic component of the locking mechanism 6, which provides a stable mounting platform for the cylinders 62 and the lead screw 63.

[0059] The cylinders 62 are two oppositely embedded components arranged on the fixed seat 61, which mainly serve to accommodate and support the lead screw 63. The inside of the cylinders 62 is provided with threads, which are matched with the threads on the outside of the lead screw 63, so that the lead screw 63 can rotate and move in the inside of the cylinders 62.

[0060] The lead screw 63 is the core component of the locking mechanism 6, one end of which is in contact with the storage disc 3, and the other end is provided with a knob. The outside of the lead screw 63 is provided with threads matched with the threads in the inside of the cylinders 62, so that the lead screw 63 can move in the inside of the cylinders 62 by rotating.

[0061] When one end of the lead screw 63 is in contact with the storage disc 3 and generates sufficient pressure, the position of the storage disc 3 can be locked to prevent it from rotating or moving.

[0062] When it is necessary to lock the position of the storage disc 3, the user can rotate the knob of the lead screw 63 to make the lead screw 63 move in the inside of the cylinders 62. With the movement of the lead screw 63, one end of it gradually approaches and contacts the storage disc 3, generating sufficient pressure to lock the position of the storage disc 3. When it is necessary to unlock the storage disc 3, the user only needs to rotate the knob of the lead screw 63 in the opposite direction to make the lead screw 63 gradually move away from the storage disc 3, so as to release the lock.
