Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a multi-channel optical switch device, and more particularly to a multi-channel optical switch device. Background Technology

[0002] Multiplexed optical switches can switch between multiple optical paths, enabling signal transmission between different optical fibers. This is crucial in optical fiber transmission systems because it allows for flexible adjustment of the optical signal transmission path to meet diverse network requirements.

[0003] For example, in a multi-channel optical module with application publication number "CN110865442A", the number of positioning points is the same as the number of apex corners of the flared end of the positioning support cover, and their positions are opposite. When the lens assembly, with the positioning support cover, covers the electrical chip array and the optical chip array, the apex corners of the flared end of the positioning support cover exactly overlap with each positioning point, which can improve assembly efficiency and meet the requirements of mass production. At the same time, it can also protect the core circuit unit. However, in the use of multi-channel optical switching devices, all multi-channel interfaces need to be connected by wires for connection. However, not all multi-channel interfaces need to be used. Sometimes there are interfaces that are not connected, and these interfaces do not have protective structures. Dust can easily enter these unconnected interfaces, affecting the connection stability when they are connected, affecting the normal use of the multi-channel optical switching device, and resulting in limitations in the use of the multi-channel optical switching device. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention aims to solve the problems existing in the prior art by providing a multi-channel optical switch device, ensuring the normal use of the multi-channel optical switch device and eliminating the limitations of its use.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: This multi-channel optical switch device includes a bracket and a mesh plate. The inner wall of the bracket is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the mesh plate. A multi-channel optical switch module is inserted into the outer wall of the bracket. A plurality of control structures are connected to the front of the multi-channel optical switch module. A fixing structure is connected to the front of the bracket. The rear of the outer wall of the fixing structure is connected to the front of the multi-channel optical switch module. A base plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer wall of the multi-channel optical switch module.

[0006] To further improve the design, the control structure includes a square plate and a sleeve plate. The rear end face of the square plate is fixedly connected to the front face of the multi-channel optical switching module. The inner wall of the square plate is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the sleeve plate. A curved plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sleeve plate, and a protective cover is fixedly connected to the top of the curved plate.

[0007] Further improvements include connecting the inner wall of the protective cover to the front interface of the multi-channel optical switching module.

[0008] To further improve the design, the top of the base plate is machined with multiple threaded openings.

[0009] Further improvements include a fixed structure comprising a vertical plate and a screw rod. The top of the rear end face of the vertical plate is fixedly connected to the front face of the bracket. The inner wall of the vertical plate is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the screw rod. A handle is fixedly connected to the front face of the screw rod.

[0010] To further improve the design, the rear of the outer wall of the screw is threaded to the front circular opening of the multi-channel optical switching module.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By controlling the forward pulling of the protective cover in the structure, the protective cover detaches from the outer wall of the interface. At the same time, the protective cover moves forward with the bent plate, causing the bent plate to detach from the inner wall of the sleeve plate. Then, the sleeve plate rotates downward through the pin shaft on the inner wall of the square plate. At this time, the interface on the front of the multi-channel optical switch module is fully exposed. Subsequently, the wires are plugged into the interface on the front of the multi-channel optical switch module. The protective cover can shield the interface to prevent dust from entering the interface, ensuring the normal use of the multi-channel optical switch device and eliminating the limitations of the multi-channel optical switch device.

[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0018] Example 1:

[0019] See attached document Figure 1-4In this embodiment, a multi-channel optical switch device includes a bracket 1 and a mesh plate 4. The inner wall of the bracket 1 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the mesh plate 4. A multi-channel optical switch module 5 is inserted into the outer wall of the bracket 1. A plurality of control structures 2 are connected to the front of the multi-channel optical switch module 5. A fixing structure 3 is connected to the front of the bracket 1. The rear of the outer wall of the fixing structure 3 is connected to the front of the multi-channel optical switch module 5. How the multi-channel optical switch module 5 is operated and used is the prior art. The model is selected according to the usage requirements and will not be elaborated in detail. A base plate 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer wall of the multi-channel optical switch module 5.

[0020] The control structure 2 includes a square plate 201 and a sleeve plate 202. The rear end face of the square plate 201 is fixedly connected to the front face of the multi-channel optical switch module 5. The inner wall of the square plate 201 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the sleeve plate 202. The sleeve plate 202 rotates through the pin on the inner wall of the square plate 201 under force. A bent plate 203 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sleeve plate 202. The bent plate 203 slides back and forth through the inner wall of the sleeve plate 202 under force. A protective cover 204 is fixedly connected to the top of the bent plate 203.

[0021] By pulling the cover 204 forward in the control structure 2, the cover 204 detaches from the outer wall of the interface. At the same time, the cover 204 moves forward with the bent plate 203, causing the bent plate 203 to detach from the inner wall of the sleeve plate 202. Then, the sleeve plate 202 rotates downward through the pin shaft on the inner wall of the square plate 201. At this time, the interface on the front of the multi-channel optical switch module 5 is fully exposed. Then, the wires are plugged into the interface on the front of the multi-channel optical switch module 5. The cover 204 can shield the interface to prevent dust from entering the interface, ensuring the normal use of the multi-channel optical switch device and eliminating the limitations of the multi-channel optical switch device.

[0022] The inner wall of the protective cover 204 is inserted into the front interface of the multi-channel optical switching module 5. The top of the base plate 6 is machined with multiple threaded holes. The fixing structure 3 includes a vertical plate 301 and a screw 302. The top of the rear end face of the vertical plate 301 is fixedly connected to the front of the bracket 1. The inner wall of the vertical plate 301 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the screw 302. The screw 302 rotates back and forth through the inner wall of the vertical plate 301 under force. A handle 303 is fixedly connected to the front of the screw 302 to facilitate the rotation of the screw 302. The rear of the outer wall of the screw 302 is threadedly connected to the front round opening of the multi-channel optical switching module 5.

[0023] Working principle:

[0024] Installation of multi-channel optical switch device:

[0025] Insert the outer wall of bracket 1 into the slot at the top of multi-channel optical switching module 5 until the rear end face of vertical plate 301 is in contact with the front face of multi-channel optical switching module 5. Then, with the handle 303, screw 302 is rotated backward through vertical plate 301. The rotating screw 302 connects the rear of outer wall with the front round hole of multi-channel optical switching module 5 by thread, thus fixing multi-channel optical switching module 5 to mesh plate 4. Then, the bottom of base plate 6 is in contact with the connection point, and then bolts are threaded through base plate 6 from top to bottom and fixed to the connection point.

[0026] Multi-channel optical switch module wiring connections:

[0027] The cover 204 is pulled forward, and the cover 204 is separated from the outer wall of the interface. At the same time, the cover 204 moves forward with the bent plate 203, so that the bent plate 203 is separated from the inner wall of the sleeve plate 202. Then the sleeve plate 202 rotates downward through the pin shaft on the inner wall of the square plate 201. At this time, the interface on the front of the multi-channel optical switch module 5 is fully exposed. Then the wire is plugged into the interface on the front of the multi-channel optical switch module 5. The cover 204 can shield the interface to prevent dust from entering the interface.

[0028] Example 2:

[0029] See attached document Figure 1-4 In this embodiment, a multi-channel optical switching module further includes a horizontal plate 7, the rear end face of which is fixedly connected to the lower front face of the multi-channel optical switching module 5.

[0030] Working principle:

[0031] The horizontal plate 7, with its own rubber material, can prevent the bending plate 203 from impacting the front of the multi-channel optical switch module 5 after rotating downwards, thus avoiding scratches on the multi-channel optical switch module 5.

[0032] Although the present invention has been illustrated and described with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes in form and detail are possible within the scope of the claims.
