Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fiber optic patch cord storage technology, specifically a storage device for fiber optic patch cords. Background Technology

[0002] Fiber optic patch cords require proper storage before and after use to ensure stable performance. Because fiber optic patch cords consist of thin and fragile optical fibers and relatively complex connectors, their storage environment and method are crucial. Improper storage can easily lead to bending or breakage of the optical fibers, and the connectors may become contaminated with dust or damaged, thus affecting communication quality and causing signal attenuation or even interruption.

[0003] Currently, existing fiber optic patch cord storage devices often suffer from fixed space, poor adaptability, unstable fiber optic cable mounting, and inconvenient operation. On the one hand, the fixed internal space layout of traditional devices makes it difficult to meet the diverse storage needs of fibers with different diameters and lengths, and special-specification fiber optic patch cords often cannot be properly placed. In view of this, we propose a storage device for fiber optic patch cords. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a storage device for fiber optic patch cords that can solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes a storage device for fiber optic patch cords, comprising a storage cylinder, a placement base plate slidably connected to the inner wall of the storage cylinder, a transparent cover snapped onto the top of the placement base plate, a rotating disk rotatably connected to the top of the placement base plate, and a storage component disposed on the rotating disk, the storage component comprising:

[0006] A threaded column is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating disk, and a limit ring is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded column;

[0007] A wire reel, wherein the outer wall of the threaded column is fitted with a wire reel, and the inner wall of the wire reel is fitted with an auxiliary ring;

[0008] A sliding plate is slidably connected to the bottom of the coil, and a guide rod is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding plate.

[0009] Preferably, auxiliary grooves are provided on both sides of the coil, and auxiliary rings are engaged with the inner walls of the auxiliary grooves.

[0010] Preferably, a square sliding groove is provided in the coil, and the outer wall of the sliding plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the square sliding groove. The square sliding groove and the sliding plate are elastically connected by a spring.

[0011] Preferably, the square groove is provided with a guide hole, and the outer wall of the guide rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide hole.

[0012] Preferably, a lifting rod is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate, and a lifting plate is rotatably connected to the top of the lifting rod.

[0013] Preferably, the inner wall of the placement base plate is provided with a storage groove, and a support block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the storage groove. The storage groove and the support block are elastically connected by two springs.

[0014] This invention provides a storage device for fiber optic patch cords. It has the following advantages:

[0015] (1) The storage device for the fiber optic patch cord can change its position on the threaded post by rotating the limiting ring, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the position of the cable reel. This adjustment of the cable reel position can change the height of the placement area, which can easily adapt to the storage needs of different sizes of optical fibers, greatly improving the adaptability of the storage device to diverse optical fibers. Whether it is a thicker multimode optical fiber or a thinner single-mode optical fiber, a suitable storage space can be found.

[0016] (2) After the optical fiber is placed in the designated area, the storage device for the optical fiber patch cord uses a spring to press the sliding plate away from the coil. The sliding plate can press the optical fiber firmly, while the guide rod ensures the stability of the sliding plate's movement, effectively preventing the optical fiber from shifting during storage and ensuring the optical fiber is stored in good condition. In addition, pulling the lifting plate moves the placement base plate in the storage cylinder via the lifting rod. When the storage slot of the placement base plate leaves the inner wall of the storage cylinder, the support block slides out under the action of the second spring, unidirectionally limiting the placement base plate and stopping it at the top of the storage cylinder. This facilitates the operator's storage and retrieval of the optical fiber, making the whole process convenient and efficient. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model proposes a storage device for fiber optic patch cords, including a storage cylinder 1. A placement base plate 2 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the storage cylinder 1. A transparent cover 3 is snapped onto the top of the placement base plate 2. A rotating disk 4 is rotatably connected to the top of the placement base plate 2. A storage component 5 is provided on the rotating disk 4. The storage component 5 includes a threaded post 51. The threaded post 51 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating disk 4. A limit ring 52 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded post 51. A coil 53 is sleeved on the outer wall of the threaded post 51. An auxiliary ring 54 is snapped onto the inner wall of the coil 53. A sliding plate 55 is slidably connected to the bottom of the coil 53. A guide rod 56 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding plate 55.

[0026] In this invention, auxiliary grooves 6 are provided on both sides of the coil 53. An auxiliary ring 54 is engaged with the inner wall of the auxiliary groove 6. The auxiliary ring 54 fills the recess of the coil 53, facilitating the placement of optical fibers on the surface of the coil 53. A square sliding groove 7 is provided in the coil 53. The outer wall of the sliding plate 55 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the square sliding groove 7. The square sliding groove 7 and the sliding plate 55 are elastically connected by a spring. The square sliding groove 7 accommodates the sliding plate 55, and the spring facilitates the movement of the sliding plate 55 away from the coil 53. The sliding plate 55, in conjunction with the spring, compresses the optical fibers, facilitating the fixing of the optical fibers in the placement area (where the area between the coil 53 and the rotating disk 4 and between two adjacent sets of coils 53 is the optical fiber placement area).

[0027] Furthermore, the square slide groove 7 is provided with a guide hole 8, and the outer wall of the guide rod 56 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide hole 8. The guide rod 56 is stored through the guide hole 8 and guided through the guide rod 56. Two sets of guide rods 56 are provided on one set of sliding plates 55, six sets of sliding plates 55 are provided on one set of wire reels 53, and three sets of wire reels 53 are provided on the threaded column 51. The top of the base plate 2 is fixedly connected to a lifting rod 9, and the top of the lifting rod 9 is rotatably connected to a lifting plate 10. The inner wall of the base plate 2 is provided with a storage groove 11, and the inner wall of the storage groove 11 is slidably connected to a support block 12. The storage groove 11 and the support block 12 are elastically connected by a spring. The storage groove 11, the support block 12, and the spring are a set, and a total of three sets are provided.

[0028] In use, by pulling the lifting plate 10, the lifting rod 9 moves the placement base plate 2 in the storage cylinder 1. When the storage slot 11 of the placement base plate 2 leaves the inner wall of the storage cylinder 1, the limit of the support block 12 is released. Through the reset of the spring 2, the support block 12 slides out of the storage slot 11, thereby limiting the position of the placement base plate 2 in one direction, so that the placement base plate 2 stops at the top of the storage cylinder 1.

[0029] Two sets of limiting rings 52 limit the upper and lower sides of the coil 53, fixing the coil 53 in the position of the threaded post 51. By rotating the limiting rings 52, the position of the limiting rings 52 on the threaded post 51 is changed, thereby changing the position of the coil 53. The area between the coil 53 and the rotating disk 4 and between two adjacent sets of coils 53 is the optical fiber placement area. By changing the position of the coil 53, the height of the placement area can be easily changed, thus accommodating optical fibers of different sizes.

[0030] When the optical fiber is placed in the optical fiber placement area, the sliding plate 55 is pressed by the spring, moving the sliding plate 55 away from the coil 53. The sliding plate 55 is used to press the optical fiber, and the guide rod 56 guides the movement of the sliding plate 55 to prevent the optical fiber from moving and ensure the storage status of the optical fiber.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
