[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0018] Example: See Figure 1-4 This utility model discloses a shape inspection device for optical fiber and cable production, comprising a housing 1, with two symmetrically arranged grip shells 2 on both sides of the housing 1. A multi-functional interface 3 is installed on one side of the top surface of the housing 1, and a first cover plate 4 is hinged to the top surface of the multi-functional interface 3. The housing 1 provides protection and support for the entire inspection device. The symmetrically arranged grip shells 2 on both sides are convenient for operators to hold, making it easy to operate and carry the device. The multi-functional interface 3 can be connected to various external devices, while the first cover plate 4 is hinged to the top surface of the multi-functional interface 3 and can cover the interface when it is not in use to prevent dust from entering, thus protecting the interface. A display screen 5 is provided on the side of the housing 1 located between the two grip shells 2. A second cover plate 6 is hinged to the top surface of the display screen 5, and a mounting plate is provided at one end of the second cover plate 6. A pin is inserted through the mounting plate, and a corresponding pin is provided on the housing 1. The first insertion interface of the pin allows the display screen 5 to show detection data and related information for easy viewing by operators. The second cover plate 6 is hinged to the top surface of the display screen 5 to protect it from scratches or damage. The pin and the first insertion interface securely fix the second cover plate 6 in the closed state, ensuring that the display screen 5 is protected when not in use and extending its service life. The second cover plate 6 is divided into two parts connected by a hinge 7. One of the two grip shells 2 has a second insertion interface. The second cover plate 6 is divided into two parts and connected by a hinge 7, which facilitates opening and closing operations and improves operational convenience. The second insertion interface on the grip shell 2 can be used to insert other auxiliary components or connect other equipment, further expanding the function of the device and making its use more flexible and diverse.

[0019] In this invention, a USB connector is plugged into the multi-functional interface 3 via a USB interface. A data cable is attached to the USB connector, and the end of the data cable is electrically connected to an end-of-line detector 8. Through the connection of the USB interface, USB connector, and data cable, reliable data transmission between the detection device and the end-of-line detector 8 can be achieved. This allows the end-of-line detector 8 to transmit the detected fiber optic cable shape data to the device, ensuring the stability and reliability of data transmission and providing data support for accurate detection of the fiber optic cable shape. One side of one of the two holding shells 2 has a groove 12 corresponding to the shape of the end-of-line detector 8. A connector 9 is located at the bottom of the groove 12, allowing the end-of-line detector 8 to be stored within it. Holding one side of the housing 2 ensures that the end-of-life inspection device 8 is stored in an orderly manner, preventing loss or damage. The connector tube 9 provides a stable position for the end-of-life inspection device 8, ensuring accurate placement and facilitating carrying and storage. A third cover plate 11 is hinged to the top surface of the groove 12. A rubber protective sleeve 10 is provided inside the connector tube 9. The third cover plate 11 is hinged to the top surface of the groove 12, further protecting the end-of-life inspection device 8 inside the groove 12 and preventing dust and debris from entering the groove 12. The rubber protective sleeve 10 can buffer the impact when the end-of-life inspection device 8 is put in or taken out, preventing hard contact between the end-of-life inspection device 8 and the connector tube 9, protecting the end-of-life inspection device 8 from damage, and further improving the safety and service life of the end-of-life inspection device 8.

[0020] Working principle: When using this utility model, first hold the holding shell 2 to pick up the device, open the first cover 4 of the multi-function interface 3 to connect external devices; open the second cover 6 of the display screen 5, and fix it to the first plug interface with the help of the pin. Its segmented and hinged design makes the operation more flexible. Insert the USB connector with data cable into the USB interface of the multi-function interface 3 to connect the end-of-line inspection instrument 8 to establish a stable transmission link and ensure the data transmission of the shape. Turn on the device, hold the device and use the end-of-line inspection instrument 8 to get close to the optical fiber cable to inspect the shape. The data is transmitted to the device and displayed on the display screen 5 for analysis and judgment. After the inspection is completed, put the end-of-line inspection instrument 8 into the groove 12 and lock it in place by the plug cylinder 9. Put down the third cover 11 to prevent dust and the rubber protective cover 10 to buffer the impact.
