Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical engineering equipment maintenance technology, specifically a tool for quickly plugging and unplugging FC type fiber optic connectors in confined spaces. Background Technology

[0002] In smart substations, relay protection devices are connected to process layer switches via optical fibers, and various information from these devices is transmitted within the process layer network. When fiber optic connectors need to be plugged or unplugged on the process layer switches, on-site personnel perform the operations manually. In existing technology, the plugging and unplugging of FC-type fiber optic connectors primarily relies on manual operation, and its core shortcomings are reflected in the following three aspects:

[0003] Operating space limitations: The large number of bay protection devices in intelligent substations necessitates that process layer switches support a massive number of fiber optic interfaces. The narrow spacing between these interfaces restricts operators' finger dexterity, especially in scenarios with multi-layered patch panels, where obstructed views further complicate alignment.

[0004] Poor thread compatibility: The thread locking mechanism of the FC connector requires precise coordination of axial and rotational forces during insertion and removal. In a confined space, it is difficult for fingers to hold the metal sleeve stably, which can easily lead to thread stripping or interface misalignment due to uneven force application, resulting in wear on the fiber optic end face or even communication interruption.

[0005] Significant safety hazards exist: During manual operation, the lack of tools can force personnel to adopt unconventional postures (such as pressing sideways or using sharp objects to assist rotation), which may cause problems such as deformation of interface metal parts and insufficient bending radius of optical fibers, threatening the long-term reliability of the equipment.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a tool that allows for quick plugging and unplugging of FC-type fiber optic connectors in confined spaces to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide a tool for quickly plugging and unplugging FC type fiber optic connectors in a confined space, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a tool for quickly inserting and removing FC type optical fiber connectors in a confined space, comprising a fixing component for wrapping and fixing the optical fiber, the fixing component being a non-full-circumference cylindrical structure, a handle being provided on the outer side wall of the fixing component, and an optical fiber connector thread being provided at one end of the inner wall of the fixing component.

[0009] Preferably, the fixing component has open ends, and the circumferential sidewalls of the fixing component are not completely closed, but have openings.

[0010] Preferably, the opening is provided with a sealing baffle, the thickness of which is less than the wall thickness of the fixing component.

[0011] Preferably, the sealing baffle is located on one side of the top of the opening, the sealing baffle is a rectangular thin plate structure, and the length of the sealing baffle is flush with the thread of the optical fiber connector.

[0012] Preferably, the opening width is between two-thirds and five-quarters of the fiber diameter.

[0013] Preferably, the fiber optic connector thread is compatible with the FC type fiber optic connector thread.

[0014] Preferably, the inner diameter of the fixing component is adapted to the size of the fiber optic connector.

[0015] Preferably, the handle has an ellipsoidal structure, and the handles are distributed opposite each other on both sides of the middle of the outer wall of the fixed component.

[0016] Preferably, the outer wall of the handle is evenly distributed with a plurality of small granular protrusions.

[0017] Preferably, the fixing component, handle, fiber optic connector thread, and sealing baffle are an integral structure made of rubber.

[0018] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. This utility model allows for quick operation when plugging and unplugging FC type fiber optic connectors on a switch, without being limited by a small space;

[0020] 2. When plugging and unplugging FC type fiber optic connectors on a switch, the inner wall of this invention is in contact with the fiber optic connector during operation to increase friction and reduce the damage rate of the fiber optic connector.

[0021] 3. The handle design of this utility model facilitates the operation of technicians when plugging and unplugging FC type fiber optic connectors on switches, allowing for better control of the operating force and greatly reducing the difficulty of operation for technicians.

[0023] Figure 2 This is a top view of the structure of this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0025] See Figures 1 to 2A tool for quickly inserting and removing FC type fiber optic connectors in confined spaces includes a fixing component 1 for wrapping and fixing the fiber optic cable. The fixing component 1 is a non-full-circumference cylindrical structure. The outer wall of the fixing component 1 is provided with a handle 2, and one end of the inner wall of the fixing component 1 is provided with a fiber optic connector thread 3.

[0026] Preferably, the two ends of the fixing component 1 are open, and the circumferential sidewall of the fixing component 1 is not completely closed, and has an opening 4.

[0027] Preferably, the opening 4 is provided with a sealing baffle 5, the thickness of which is less than the wall thickness of the fixing component 1. The sealing baffle 5 is made of a softer, thinner layer of rubber. When the optical fiber is placed into the main component 1, the baffle 5 is recessed due to the volume of the optical fiber. After the optical fiber is fully inserted into the fixing component 1, the sealing baffle 5 can play a certain fixing role and prevent the optical fiber from sliding out of the fixing component 1.

[0028] Preferably, the sealing baffle 5 is located on one side of the top of the opening 4, and the sealing baffle 5 is a rectangular thin plate structure. The length of the sealing baffle 5 is flush with the fiber optic connector thread 3.

[0029] Preferably, the width of the opening 4 is between two-thirds and five-quarters of the fiber diameter. This width design allows for easy insertion of the fiber while also securing it in place.

[0030] Preferably, the fiber optic connector thread 3 is compatible with the thread of an FC type fiber optic connector. This design allows the inner wall of the fixing component 1 to fit snugly against the fiber optic connector, increasing friction and securing the fiber optic connector.

[0031] Preferably, the inner diameter of the fixing component 1 is adapted to the size of the fiber optic connector.

[0032] Preferably, the handle 2 has an ellipsoidal structure, and the handles 2 are distributed opposite each other on both sides of the middle of the outer wall of the fixing component 1. This facilitates the rotation of the joint tool by technicians during operation.

[0033] Preferably, the outer wall of the handle 2 has a plurality of small granular protrusions evenly distributed on it. This can increase the friction.

[0034] Preferably, the fixing component 1, handle 2, fiber optic connector thread 3, and sealing baffle 5 are an integral structure made of rubber.

[0035] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0036] First, pry open the fixing part 1 along the opening 4 and insert the FC type optical fiber to be operated; then push the fixing part 1 upward until it completely covers the connector of the FC type optical fiber to be operated, and the internal thread 3 is just locked with the thread on the FC connector of the optical fiber. The sealing baffle 5 is on the upper layer of the optical fiber to prevent the optical fiber from slipping out of the fixing part 1; pinch the handle 2 and rotate the fixing part 1. At this time, due to the friction, the internal FC interface of the optical fiber will also rotate. At this time, the optical fiber interface can be easily tightened or loosened, making it convenient to remove or install the optical fiber; after the FC interface of the optical fiber is tightened or loosened, pry open the opening 4 of the fixing part 1 again to separate the fixing part 1 from the internally wrapped optical fiber.

[0037] The above embodiments are merely preferred technical solutions of this utility model and should not be considered as limitations on this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model should be the technical solution described in the claims, including equivalent substitutions of the technical features described in the claims. That is, equivalent substitutions and improvements within this scope are also within the protection scope of this utility model.
