Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an optical fiber connection technology, specifically a novel modular pluggable ODF unit box. Background Technology
[0002] The ODF unit box has functions such as optical cable fixing and protection, optical cable termination, cable patching, and protection of optical cable cores and pigtails. It can be installed as a standalone fiber optic distribution frame, or it can be installed in the same cabinet / rack as digital distribution units and audio distribution units to form a comprehensive distribution frame.
[0003] This equipment is flexible in configuration, easy to install, easy to maintain, and convenient to manage. It is an essential device for fiber optic communication cable network terminals or relay points to realize fiber routing, jumper fiber splicing, and access.
[0004] Currently, conventional ODF unit boxes mainly adopt two layout methods. One is a front adapter panel with stacked splice trays at the rear. Pigtails are used to connect from the splice trays to the adapter panel, and the optical cable is spliced inside the splice tray after entering. This method has a relatively centralized cable routing, but cable management can be quite messy. The other method uses horizontal plastic integrated splice trays, where the pigtails of each tray are connected internally. In this method, the optical cable needs to enter the tray through a narrow cable inlet for splicing.
[0005] Currently, the layout of ODF unit boxes on the market all have problems with fiber splicing or messy wiring. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel modular and pluggable ODF unit box to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0008] A novel modular pluggable ODF unit box includes a unit box body, on which a fiber optic cable tray is fixedly mounted, and on which an adapter is detachably mounted;
[0009] The adapter includes multiple adapter units, and each adapter unit includes multiple adapter modules; multiple fusion splicing partitions are formed on the fusion tray, and the multiple fusion splicing partitions correspond one-to-one with the multiple adapter units to form a fusion module.
[0010] The novel modular pluggable ODF unit box described above: the adapter unit is detachably connected to the welding partition via an orchid buckle, which can elastically deform when the adapter unit is installed in the welding partition.
[0011] The novel modular pluggable ODF unit box described above: multiple module boxes are fixedly installed on the fiber splicing tray, and the adapter unit is located in the module box after being connected to the splicing section through the orchid buckle.
[0012] The modular pluggable novel ODF unit box described above: the interior of the fusion splice section has a compartment for accommodating redundant pigtails, and the redundant pigtails are coiled in the compartment.
[0013] The modular pluggable new ODF unit box described above: multiple restraint straps are provided below the unit box body, and multiple adapter units are arranged in a linear "I" shape below the fiber fusion tray;
[0014] Multiple of the said restraint straps are arranged in a row, and each of the said adapter units has a corresponding restraint strap below it.
[0015] The modular pluggable new ODF unit box described above: the end of the binding strap is provided with Velcro, the Velcro including a Velcro female side and a Velcro female side, which are respectively provided at both ends of the binding strap, and the Velcro female side and the Velcro female side are respectively on both sides of the binding strap.
[0016] The modular pluggable new ODF unit box described above: The bottom of the unit box body is also connected to a sealing plate via a hinge. When the sealing plate rotates to fit with the fiber fusion tray, it covers the binding strap.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: This utility model separates the adapter panel, dividing 12 adapters into a unit. Using a "orchid-shaped" splice mechanism, tool-free assembly and disassembly are performed inside the unit box. Each unit is equipped with an independent splicing tray, and the pigtails are coiled in their own modules. Furthermore, the back of each module can store pigtails. During splicing, the optical cables enter their respective modules for splicing, and the modules do not interfere with each other.
[0018] The tray-based fiber splicing was changed to a modular design, with each tray independent and the fiber splicing and wiring done in its own module. This makes the entire ODF unit box divided into multiple independent modules, making both the fiber splicing and wiring clearer and more organized. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0026] Please see Figures 1-5 As an embodiment of the present utility model, the modular pluggable novel ODF unit box includes a unit box body 1, a fiber optic tray 2 is fixedly installed on the unit box body 1, and an adapter 3 is detachably provided on the fiber optic tray 2.
[0027] The adapter includes multiple adapter units 301, and each adapter unit 301 includes multiple adapter modules; multiple splicing partitions are formed on the splicing tray 2, and the multiple splicing partitions correspond one-to-one with the multiple adapter units 301 to form a splicing module.
[0028] In the example given in this utility model, 12 adapter modules are divided into one adapter unit 301, and then multiple adapter units 301 are used to form the adapter 3 as a whole. Each adapter unit 301 corresponds to a welding partition on the fiber fusion tray 2.
[0029] Each adapter unit 301 is detachably mounted in the splicing section on the splicing tray 2, allowing for quick and easy assembly and disassembly without the need for tools; pigtails can be coiled independently in the corresponding splicing module, and redundant pigtails can be stored on the back of the splicing module.
[0030] During the fiber splicing process, the optical cables enter the corresponding fiber splicing modules for splicing and routing. The fiber splicing modules do not interfere with each other, making the splicing and routing clearer and more transparent.
[0031] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the adapter unit 301 is detachably connected to the welding partition via an orchid buckle 4, and the orchid buckle 4 can undergo elastic deformation when the adapter unit 301 is installed in the welding partition.
[0032] In this embodiment, because the orchid buckle 4 can undergo elastic deformation, the orchid buckle 4 deforms to make way during the installation of the adapter unit 301 in the welding partition; and after the adapter unit 301 is fully installed in the welding partition, the orchid buckle 4 elastically resets to secure it, thereby achieving a detachable connection between the adapter unit 301 and the welding partition.
[0033] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a plurality of module boxes 5 are fixedly provided on the fiber splicing tray 2, and the adapter unit 301 is located in the module box 5 after being connected to the splicing zone through the orchid buckle 4.
[0034] In this embodiment, multiple fiber splicing modules can be independently separated by the module box 5 to achieve modular design, so that the pigtails can be coiled, stored and spliced in their respective corresponding fiber splicing modules without interfering with or affecting each other.
[0035] As a further embodiment of this invention, the interior of the fusion splice section is formed with a compartment for accommodating redundant pigtails, and the redundant pigtails are coiled in the compartment.
[0036] In this embodiment, fiber optic cables are placed in designated compartments to avoid redundant crossovers between optical fibers, which could lead to chaotic cable management.
[0037] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a plurality of binding straps 6 are provided below the unit box body 1, and a plurality of adapter units 301 are arranged in a linear “I” shape below the fiber fusion tray 2.
[0038] Multiple restraint straps 6 are arranged in a row, and each adapter unit 301 has a corresponding restraint strap 6 below it.
[0039] In this embodiment, since a binding strap 6 is provided below each adapter unit 301, multiple optical fiber cables can be pre-separated by the binding strap 6 before the optical fiber cables are connected to the fusion splicing module, thereby further reducing the risk of optical fiber tangling and knotting.
[0040] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the end of the binding strap 6 is provided with Velcro, the Velcro including a male side and a female side, which are respectively provided at both ends of the binding strap 6, and the male side and the female side are respectively on both sides of the binding strap 6.
[0041] In this embodiment, the binding strap 6 is made loose by setting a magic female face and a magic female face at both ends. At the same time, the inner diameter of the binding strap 6 can be adjusted to accommodate different numbers and thicknesses of optical fiber cables.
[0042] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the bottom of the unit box body 1 is also connected to a sealing plate 7 via a hinge. When the sealing plate 7 rotates to fit against the fiber fusion tray 2, it covers the binding strap 6.
[0043] In this embodiment, the sealing plate 7 can prevent the fiber optic cable extending from the fiber optic module from being exposed, effectively protecting the fiber optic cable.
[0044] The above embodiments are exemplary and not restrictive. Therefore, without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this utility model, any technical solutions that can be implemented in other specific forms are included in this utility model.
