Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of micro base station supporting equipment, specifically, it relates to an integrated optoelectronic box. Background Technology
[0002] In communication network construction, to address the construction needs of supporting equipment for small base stations and meet the aesthetic requirements of municipal regulations, a multi-functional optoelectronic integrated box solution can be used for rapid outdoor deployment of small base stations. This solution effectively isolates the power distribution section from the fiber optic section electromagnetically, achieving optoelectronic separation and shortening the construction cycle.
[0003] Compared with traditional installation systems, the multifunctional optoelectronic integrated box has the following disadvantages:
[0004] 1. The installation of power supply boxes or fiber distribution boxes and various modules is complicated and not suitable for many environments;
[0005] 2. Inconsistent installation methods and crude, rudimentary appearances detract from the aesthetic appeal of urban areas;
[0006] 3. The material has poor corrosion resistance and wind resistance, making it prone to falling and threatening the personal safety of pedestrians;
[0007] 4. The equipment has a low load capacity and requires little installation space.
[0008] However, existing optoelectronic integrated boxes also have drawbacks. On the one hand, directly connecting multiple optical cables to the optoelectronic integrated box results in a large number of optical cables, making management and maintenance complex and operating costs high. On the other hand, the current optoelectronic integrated boxes use rail-mounted meters, which are mainly used to measure electrical parameters such as current, voltage, power, and energy. They can transmit data but do not have communication and remote control functions.
[0009] Therefore, there is an urgent need to find an integrated optoelectronic box to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0010] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an integrated optoelectronic box, comprising a first box and a second box. The first box is equipped with a passive wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) device, a fiber optic splicing tray, an adapter rack, and an optical cable fixing device for optical cable splicing, wiring, and storage, meeting optical cable wiring requirements. The second box is equipped with an air switch and a smart meter for AC power distribution to the cable, providing a stable power supply. This utility model integrates optical cable splicing and wiring functions with cable power distribution functions. It is small in size and lightweight, and can be flexibly wall-mounted or pole-mounted, shortening the construction cycle of small base stations while meeting urban beautification needs.
[0011] An integrated optoelectronic box includes a first box and a second box. The first box is used for splicing, wiring and storage of optical cables, and the second box is used for AC power distribution of electrical cables. The first box is equipped with a passive wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) device, and the second box is equipped with a smart meter.
[0012] In some methods, building a micro base station requires not only input and distribution of optical cables, but also a power supply to provide power to the micro base station. The optoelectronic integrated box provided by this utility model integrates cable splicing and wiring functions and optical cable power distribution functions.
[0013] In some implementations, passive wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) devices can transmit multiple wavelengths of optical signals in the same optical fiber, increasing transmission capacity and thus significantly reducing the number of optical cables connected to the first enclosure. Furthermore, passive WDM devices do not require a power supply and are primarily composed of optical transmission equipment, lacking complex electronic devices. Therefore, passive WDM devices are relatively small, lightweight, and low-cost. Because the first enclosure provided by this invention incorporates a passive WDM device, it is smaller and lighter than traditionally constructed fiber distribution boxes.
[0014] In some systems, compared to rail-mounted meters which only transmit electrical data but lack communication and remote control capabilities, smart meters not only transmit electrical data but also possess communication and remote control functions. They can exchange data and control data with remote servers via communication networks, enabling automated collection, transmission, processing, and analysis of electrical data. Smart meters offer higher accuracy and reliability, and their remote control and debugging via communication networks improve the safety and convenience of electricity use. Therefore, the installation of smart meters can better meet the power supply needs of small base stations and facilitate electricity cost management.

Within the fusion splice tray, the trunk optical cable is used for splicing with pigtails. One end of the pigtail is a broken fiber core of an optical cable, which is spliced with the trunk optical cable. The other end has a connector for connecting to an adapter.
[0017] In some configurations, the number of adapter slots is up to 12, used to secure the adapter. One end of the adapter is connected to the connector of the pigtail, and the other end is connected to the optical fiber patch cord. The optical fiber patch cord outputs from the optical fiber outlet to realize the conversion and transmission of optical signals.
[0018] In some embodiments, the optical cable fixing device is positioned above the optical cable inlet and outlet, and the optical cable is fixed by a hose clamp.
[0019] Furthermore, the first housing is also equipped with one or more cable management rings.
[0020] In some configurations, the first housing contains multiple cable management rings located around the fiber optic spool and on one side of the adapter rack to secure the optical cable bundles for easy management.
[0021] Furthermore, the first housing is also equipped with an optical cable input port and an optical cable output port.
[0022] In some configurations, the bottom of the first housing is provided with multiple optical fiber input ports and multiple optical fiber output ports. The optical fiber input ports are used to input trunk optical fibers, and the optical fiber output ports are used to output distribution optical fibers.
[0023] Furthermore, the second enclosure is also equipped with an air switch.
[0024] Furthermore, the second enclosure is also equipped with a cable inlet and a cable outlet.
[0025] In some configurations, a cable inlet and a cable outlet are provided at the bottom of the second enclosure.
[0026] Furthermore, the first box and the second box are hinged together.
[0027] In some designs, the first and second enclosures are separate spaces, and the two enclosures can be opened by rotating them with hinges, facilitating installation, management, and maintenance.
[0028] Furthermore, the first and second housings are locked together by a latch, and an insulating plate is provided between the first and second housings for electromagnetic isolation.
[0029] In some configurations, the first and second housings can be locked together to form a sealed space, protecting the components within both housings.
[0030] In some methods, the insulating board can isolate the electromagnetic induction generated when the cable is energized from the optical cable, thereby ensuring the quality of optical cable transmission.
[0031] Furthermore, the insulating plate is hinged to the second housing.
[0032] Furthermore, mounting holes are provided on the rear panel of the second housing.
[0033] In some installation methods, the integrated photoelectric box can be flexibly wall-mounted or pole-mounted via mounting holes.
