Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical fiber channel technology, specifically a deformable optical fiber channel. Background Technology
[0002] Optical fiber is a type of optical waveguide made of glass or plastic, used as a means of transmitting light. The transmission principle of optical fiber is based on "total internal reflection," meaning that light travels along the fiber through total internal reflection without leaking into the external environment. Optical fibers are typically encased in a plastic sheath to protect their structure and prevent breakage. Optical fiber has a wide range of applications, especially in communications, where it is used for long-distance signal transmission because the transmission loss of light in optical fiber is much lower than the loss of electricity transmitted through cables.
[0003] Patent CN217954812U discloses a fiber optic channel for communication, which includes a fiber optic channel; two through holes, both of which are opened on the lower inner wall of the fiber optic channel; and two sets of slide rail mechanisms, which are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the fiber optic channel. This device can separate the cables in the fiber optic channel by setting a partition, thereby facilitating subsequent fiber optic maintenance. By moving the partition out of the insertion hole by the insertion rod, the space of the partition inside the fiber optic channel can be adjusted, so that the size of the cable space can be changed according to the number of communication fibers. This can solve the problem in the prior art that after the fiber optic channel has been laid out, it cannot separate the fibers of different lines, making subsequent fiber optic maintenance very cumbersome.
[0004] However, this device adjusts the position of the partitions within the fiber optic channel to adjust the spatial layout within the channel, thereby facilitating the cable arrangement. But this fiber optic channel is a straight, monolithic structure, whereas in reality, fiber optic cables rarely run in a straight line. Often, fiber optic cable arrangements require some degree of offset based on the equipment's location. This fiber optic channel cannot adjust the fiber's direction, necessitating the customization of suitable fiber optic cable trays, which increases the cost. Therefore, a deformable fiber optic channel is proposed to address the problem of existing fiber optic channels being unable to adjust the fiber's direction according to the cable arrangement. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a deformable optical fiber channel, which solves the aforementioned problems.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a deformable optical fiber channel, including an optical fiber channel, a second optical fiber channel provided on one side of the optical fiber channel, a channel cover plate provided on the top of both the optical fiber channel and the second optical fiber channel, a U-shaped frame fixedly connected to the bottom of the side of the optical fiber channel facing the second optical fiber channel, an adjustment plate provided in the inner cavity of the U-shaped frame, a limit screw provided through the top of the U-shaped frame, a limit knob threadedly connected to the top of the limit screw, and an adjustment and separation mechanism provided in the inner cavity of both the optical fiber channel and the second optical fiber channel.
[0007] Preferably, there is a minimum frictional force between the adjustment plate and the U-shaped frame that allows the optical fiber channel and the second optical fiber channel to remain relatively stationary.
[0008] Preferably, the limiting screw passes through the U-shaped frame and is fixedly connected to the U-shaped frame, and the limiting screw passes through the adjusting plate and the two are rotatably connected.
[0009] Preferably, the adjusting and separating mechanism includes multiple separating plates disposed at both ends of the inner cavity of the optical fiber channel or the second optical fiber channel, and a number of limiting slots are provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the optical fiber channel or the second optical fiber channel.
[0010] Preferably, the multiple horizontal limiting slots form a group, and the bottom of the partition plate is fixedly connected with multiple limiting blocks corresponding to the group of limiting slots. There is a frictional force between the limiting slots and the limiting blocks that enables the partition plate to be vertically limited.
[0011] Preferably, the top ends of the optical fiber channel or the second optical fiber channel are provided with mounting slots, the inner cavity of the mounting slot is provided with a mounting plate, and the mounting plate is fixedly connected to the channel cover plate.
[0012] Preferably, a retractable folding plate connects the optical fiber channel and the second optical fiber channel.
[0013] This deformable fiber optic channel allows optical fibers to be placed inside the channel cavity. Based on the fiber arrangement, the angle of the fiber optic channel and the second fiber optic channel can be adjusted using the adjustment plate inside the U-shaped frame and the limiting screw, thereby adjusting the direction of the optical fibers within the channel. Then, rotating the limiting knob causes the U-shaped frame to press against the adjustment plate, thus fixing the angle position of the fiber optic channel and the second fiber optic channel. This solves the problem that existing fiber optic channels are difficult to adjust the direction of optical fibers according to the fiber arrangement.
[0014] This deformable fiber optic channel, if multiple optical fibers need to be arranged, can be modified by removing the required number of partition plates from the channel cavity according to the number of optical fibers. Then, the inner cavity of the fiber optic channel and the second fiber optic channel is divided into multiple required areas by limiting blocks and limiting slots, and labeled. This allows for the arrangement of optical fibers with different functions. Furthermore, the process of removing the partition plates also indirectly increases the size of the inner cavity of the fiber optic channel or the second fiber optic channel, improving the practicality of this deformable fiber optic channel.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] Example: Please refer to Figure 1-5 A deformable fiber optic channel includes a fiber optic channel 1, a second fiber optic channel 2 disposed on one side of the fiber optic channel 1, a channel cover plate 3 disposed on the top of both the fiber optic channel 1 and the second fiber optic channel 2, a U-shaped frame 4 fixedly connected to the bottom of the side of the fiber optic channel 1 facing the second fiber optic channel 2, an adjustment plate 5 disposed in the inner cavity of the U-shaped frame 4, a limit screw 6 passing through the top of the U-shaped frame 4, a limit knob 7 threadedly connected to the top of the limit screw 6, and an adjustment and separation mechanism 8 disposed in the inner cavity of both the fiber optic channel 1 and the second fiber optic channel 2.
[0023] Furthermore, there is a minimum frictional force between the adjusting plate 5 and the U-shaped frame 4 that allows the fiber optic channel 1 and the second fiber optic channel 2 to remain relatively stationary.
[0024] Furthermore, the limiting screw 6 passes through the U-shaped frame 4 and is fixedly connected to the U-shaped frame 4, and the limiting screw 6 passes through the adjusting plate 5 and the two are rotatably connected.
[0025] Furthermore, the adjusting separation mechanism 8 includes multiple partition plates 801 disposed at both ends of the inner cavity of the fiber optic channel 1 or the second fiber optic channel 2, and a number of limiting slots 802 are provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the fiber optic channel 1 or the second fiber optic channel 2.
[0026] Furthermore, the multiple horizontally positioned limiting slots 802 form a group, and the bottom of the partition plate 801 is fixedly connected with multiple limiting blocks 803 corresponding to a group of limiting slots 802. There is a frictional force between the limiting slots 802 and the limiting blocks 803 that allows the partition plate 801 to be vertically limited. If multiple optical fibers need to be arranged, according to the number of optical fibers, the required number of partition plates 801 are moved out of the channel cavity. Then, the inner cavity of the optical fiber channel 1 and the second optical fiber channel 2 is divided into multiple required areas and labeled by the limiting blocks 803 and the limiting slots 802. Different types of optical fibers with different functions can be arranged. In addition, the process of moving the partition plates 801 out also indirectly increases the size of the inner cavity of the optical fiber channel 1 or the second optical fiber channel 2, improving the practicality of this deformable optical fiber channel.
[0027] Furthermore, mounting slots 9 are provided at both ends of the top of the fiber optic channel 1 or the second fiber optic channel 2. The inner cavity of the mounting slot 9 is provided with a mounting plate 10. The mounting plate 10 is fixedly connected to the channel cover plate 3. By inserting the mounting plate 10 into the mounting slot 9 in the inner cavity of the top of the fiber optic channel 1 or the second fiber optic channel 2, the channel cover plate 3 can be fixed to the top of the fiber optic channel 1 or the second fiber optic channel 2, which facilitates the protection of the optical fiber in the channel.
[0028] Furthermore, a retractable folding piece 11 is connected between the fiber optic channel 1 and the second fiber optic channel 2. The retractable folding piece 11 can block the gap between the fiber optic channel 1 and the second fiber optic channel 2. The blocking can still be achieved as the angle position of the fiber optic channel 1 and the second fiber optic channel 2 changes, thereby improving the protection effect on the optical fibers in the channel.
[0029] Working Principle: When using this deformable fiber optic channel, after installing fiber optic channel 1 and fiber optic channel 2 at the desired fiber optic arrangement position, place the fiber into the channel cavity. According to the fiber optic arrangement, adjust the angles of fiber optic channel 1 and fiber optic channel 2 using the adjusting plate 5 inside the U-shaped frame 4 and the limiting screw 6. This adjusts the fiber optic direction within the channel. Then, rotate the limiting knob 7 to press the U-shaped frame 4 against the adjusting plate 5. The pressing of the limiting knob 7 against the U-shaped frame 4 fixes the changed position of fiber optic channel 1 and fiber optic channel 2. This solves the problem that existing fiber optic channels are difficult to adjust the fiber direction according to the fiber arrangement. If multiple fibers need to be arranged, according to the number of fibers, the required number of separator plates 801 are moved out of the channel cavity. Then, the inner cavity of fiber optic channel 1 and second fiber optic channel 2 is divided into multiple required areas and labeled by limiting block 803 and limiting slot 802. Different types of fibers with different functions can be arranged. In addition, the process of moving the separator plates 801 out also indirectly increases the size of the inner cavity of fiber optic channel 1 or second fiber optic channel 2, improving the practicality of this deformable fiber optic channel.
