[0049] The straight groove plate 12 is fastened to the rear end of the housing 1 with bolts, and the installation angle is adjustable.
[0050] Function: Used to fix the optical cable distribution box to the wall. The straight groove structure makes it easy to adjust the horizontal and vertical position of the box 1 during installation, adapting to different installation environments, ensuring that the box 1 is installed firmly and stably, and reducing equipment failures caused by improper installation.
[0051] Spring columns 13 are installed on the inner wall of housing 1, symmetrically distributed, with one end connected to mounting plate 14.
[0052] Function: It provides support and cushioning for the mounting plate 14, absorbs certain external impacts, and protects the electrical components mounted on the mounting plate 14 from vibration and collision. At the same time, the elasticity of the spring column 13 facilitates the operation when installing and removing electrical components.
[0053] Mounting plate 14 is connected to the inner wall of housing 1 via spring post 13, and has a number of mounting holes 15 arranged on it.
[0054] Function: To provide an installation platform for electrical components. By using bolts to engage with the mounting holes 15, electrical components can be fixed on the mounting plate 14, facilitating the installation, disassembly, and replacement of electrical components. At the same time, the buffering effect of the spring column 13 can reduce the risk of damage to electrical components due to vibration.
[0055] Mounting holes 15 are arrayed on mounting plate 14.
[0056] Function: Used for bolt positioning. Electrical components are securely installed on the mounting plate 14 by passing bolts through the mounting holes 15, ensuring the stability of the electrical components inside the housing 1 and guaranteeing the normal operation of the equipment.
[0057] When this easy-to-maintain optical fiber distribution box is in operation, the trunk optical cable enters the box 1 through the main inlet hole 2. The rounded angle of the edge of the main inlet hole 2 prevents scratches on the outer sheath of the optical cable. Inside the box 1, the optical cable undergoes distribution and splicing operations, connecting to the corresponding electrical components. The electrical components are fixed to the mounting plate 14 via mounting holes 15 using bolts. The mounting plate 14 is supported by spring pillars 13, which buffer external impacts and protect the electrical components. The distribution optical cables connect to the outside through the outlet holes 11 at the top and bottom of the box 1 to achieve signal transmission.
[0058] Cabinet door 5 is connected to connecting post 3 via connecting sleeve 4, and can rotate around connecting post 3 to achieve opening and closing function. When cabinet door 5 is closed, protrusion 8 on the side of cabinet body 1 engages with groove 7 on the edge of cabinet door 5 to achieve sealing and prevent dust and moisture from entering cabinet body 1. At the same time, fastener 10 on rotating component 9 rotates and engages with latch 6 on cabinet door 5 to lock cabinet body 1 and cabinet door 5, ensuring the safety of equipment inside cabinet body 1. When maintenance is required, first release the locking state of fastener 10 and latch 6, and open cabinet door 5 to operate the internal optical cables and electrical components. The straight groove plate 12 at the rear end of cabinet body 1 can be fixed to the wall with bolts. The straight groove structure facilitates adjustment of the installation angle, ensuring that cabinet body 1 is installed firmly and stably.
[0059] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the edge of the main inlet hole 2 is rounded; the optical cable sheath is usually made of a relatively soft material, such as polyethylene. During the process of the optical cable passing through the main inlet hole 2 into the housing 1, if the edge of the inlet hole is sharp or angular, it can easily scratch the optical cable sheath. Even minor scratches can damage the integrity of the sheath, exposing the optical fibers inside the cable to the external environment.
[0060] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the protrusion 8 is engaged in the groove 7 to seal the cabinet door 5 and the housing 1; in the operating environment of communication equipment, dust is everywhere. If the seal between the cabinet door 5 and the housing 1 is not tight, dust can easily enter the interior of the housing 1 through the gaps.
[0061] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the position and shape of the fastener 10 are adapted to the latch 6, and the fastener 10 is fastened to the latch 6 to lock the box 1 and the cabinet door 5. The optical fiber distribution box is usually installed outdoors or in public areas such as corridors. If the box 1 and the cabinet door 5 are not effectively locked, they may be easily opened by unauthorized personnel.
[0062] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, after the installation angle of the straight groove plate 12 is confirmed, it is fixed to the wall by bolts. In actual installation scenarios, the type and surface condition of the wall vary. It may be a concrete wall, brick wall, gypsum board wall, etc., and the wall surface may be uneven or tilted. The adjustable installation angle of the straight groove plate 12 allows it to better fit the surface of different types of walls, ensuring a tight contact between the box 1 and the wall.
[0063] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the mounting plate 14 is horizontally positioned with the main inlet hole 2, and the outlet hole 11 is also located at the front end of the mounting plate 14;
[0064] When the main inlet hole 2 is horizontally aligned with the mounting plate 14, the main optical cable can extend horizontally and naturally to the electrical components on the mounting plate 14 after entering the housing 1 through the main inlet hole 2. This horizontal cabling method conforms to the physical characteristics of the optical cable and reduces unnecessary bending and twisting of the optical cable inside the housing 1.
[0065] Excessive bending of optical cables can cause or exacerbate microcracks inside the fiber, thereby increasing transmission loss of optical signals and even causing signal interruption. Proper cabling effectively protects the optical cable, ensures stable transmission of optical signals, and also makes the optical cable layout inside the enclosure 1 more organized and easier for maintenance personnel to observe and manage.
[0066] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the cabinet body 1 and the cabinet door 5 are provided with fitting fixing ears for attaching padlocks; in some scenarios with high security requirements, the locking mechanism of the fastener 10 and the latch 6 alone may not meet all security needs. For example, in public areas or environments with certain security risks, there may be deliberate vandalism or unauthorized attempts to force open the cabinet.
[0067] The presence of the fixed lugs allows for the use of padlocks to further reinforce the locked state of the enclosure 1 and cabinet door 5. Padlocks typically possess high strength and resistance to damage, effectively preventing criminals from easily opening cabinet door 5, protecting internal equipment such as optical cables and electrical components from damage and theft, ensuring the physical security of the communication system, and reducing communication interruptions and security incidents caused by equipment damage or information leakage.
[0068] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model 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 this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
