[0020] 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.

[0021] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 It is understood that this utility model provides a technical solution: a fiber optic patch cord with a waterproof structure, including: a fiber optic patch cord body 1, a connector 2, and a protective sleeve 3. Both ends of the fiber optic patch cord body 1 are connected to the connector 2. The outer side of the fiber optic patch cord body 1 near the connector 2 is connected to the protective sleeve 3. The outer side of the connector 2 is connected to the connecting plate 4. The inside of the connecting plate 4 is connected to the spring 5. One end of the spring 5 is connected to the locking block 6. The two sides of the locking block 6 are connected to the limiting blocks 7. The end of the connector 2 is provided with a waterproof cover 8. The end of the waterproof cover 8 is connected to the cushioning foam 9. The outer side of the waterproof cover 8 away from the cushioning foam 9 is connected to the plug block 10. The inside of the plug block 10 is provided with a slot 11. The locking block 6 and the plug block 10 form a locking structure through the slot 11. Two sets of locking blocks 6 are symmetrically arranged about the center of the connecting plate 4.

[0022] In practical implementation, fiber optic patch cords are mainly used in fiber optic communication systems, fiber optic access networks, fiber optic data transmission, and local area networks. During use, there is a gap between the connector 2 and the equipment, resulting in poor waterproofing of the connector 2. To address this, the waterproof cover 8 can be pushed. When the waterproof cover 8 moves, it can move the buffer foam 9 and the connector block 10. When the waterproof cover 8 moves to the outside of the connector 2, the end of the connector block 10 can be inserted into the connection plate 4. At this time, the end of the connector block 10 can press the inclined surface of the locking block 6. When the locking block 6 is pressed, it can move the limiting block 7. When the locking block 6 moves, it can compress the spring 5. When the spring 5 is compressed to its maximum extent, the connector block 10 can be fully inserted into the connection plate 4. At this time, the locking block 6 can be reset by the spring 5. When the locking block 6 is reset, it can engage with the connector block 10 through the slot 11, thereby installing the waterproof cover 8 on the outside of the connector 2. When the connector 2 is fully connected to the equipment, the buffer foam 9 can be tightly attached to the surface of the equipment.

[0023] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 It can be seen that the waterproof cover 8 can block the gap between the connector 2 and the equipment, thereby improving the waterproof performance of the connector 2 and making the fiber optic patch cord safer during use.

[0024] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 It can be seen that a limiting plate 12 is provided on the outside of the fiber optic patch cord body 1. A U-shaped groove 13 is provided inside the limiting plate 12. A protrusion 14 is bonded to the inner wall of the U-shaped groove 13. A docking groove 15 is provided on the outer surface of the limiting plate 12. A rubber ball 16 is connected to the side of the limiting plate 12 away from the docking groove 15. The protrusion 14 is made of rubber. The U-shaped groove 13 is evenly distributed inside the limiting plate 12.

[0025] In practice, multiple fiber optic patch cords are typically connected to equipment during use, making them prone to tangling and clutter, and hindering subsequent maintenance. To address this, a limiting plate 12 can be pushed. When the limiting plate 12 moves, it moves the protrusion 14 and the rubber ball 16. When the U-shaped groove 13 moves above the fiber optic patch cord body 1, it pushes the fiber optic patch cord body 1 towards the U-shaped groove 13. This movement of the fiber optic patch cord body 1 also moves the protrusion 14... When compressed, the protrusion 14, made of rubber, deforms under pressure. At this time, the fiber optic patch cord body 1 can slide along the U-shaped groove 13 into the limiting plate 12. The limiting plate 12 can limit the fiber optic patch cord body 1 and simultaneously hold multiple fiber optic patch cord bodies 1 inside the U-shaped groove 13, making it difficult for multiple fiber optic patch cord bodies 1 to tangle together. When the rubber ball 16 on one limiting plate 12 is inserted into the docking groove 15 of another limiting plate 12, the two limiting plates 12 can be spliced ​​together for use.

[0026] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 It can be seen that the limiting plate 12 can limit the multiple fiber optic patch cord bodies 1, thereby making the multiple fiber optic patch cord bodies 1 neatly arranged and less prone to tangling.

[0027] In summary, when using this waterproof fiber optic patch cord, the connectors 2 at both ends of the fiber optic patch cord body 1 are plugged into the designated equipment. During the transmission of optical signals, the optical signals are transmitted through the wire core inside the fiber optic patch cord body 1. Fiber optic patch cords are existing technology and will not be described in detail here. When the connectors 2 are fully connected to the equipment, the buffer foam 9 can be tightly attached to the surface of the equipment. The waterproof cover 8 can block the gap between the connectors 2 and the equipment, thereby improving the waterproof performance of the connectors 2 and making the fiber optic patch cord safer during use. When the rubber ball 16 on one set of limiting plates 12 is inserted into the docking groove 15 of another set of limiting plates 12, the two sets of limiting plates 12 can be spliced ​​together. The limiting plates 12 can limit the positioning of multiple fiber optic patch cord bodies 1, thereby making multiple sets of fiber optic patch cord bodies 1 neatly arranged and less prone to tangling. The contents not described in detail in this description are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.

[0028] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
