[0030] like Figure 1-9 As shown, the fiber optic cutter includes a housing 1, a waste outlet 12 is provided at the bottom right side of the housing 1, and a waste fiber collection box is installed on the right side of the housing 1. The waste fiber collection box includes a box body 2, an opening at the top of the box body 2, and a top cover 3 is hinged to the box body 2 at the opening. The right side of the top cover 3 is hinged to the right side of the top of the box body 2.

[0031] The right side of the outer casing 1 has a mounting opening 11 for mounting the box body 2. Limiting ribs 13 are located on the lower part of the two sides of the mounting opening 11. Two corresponding L-shaped locking blocks 5 are also provided on the two sides of the left side of the box body 2. The tops of the locking blocks 5 face outwards, and they engage with the limiting ribs 13 when the box body 2 is mounted at the mounting opening 11. A slot 21 is provided on the upper part of the box body 2 between the two locking blocks 5. A spring piece 22 is located within the slot 21. A snap-fit ​​rib 23 is also provided on the left side of the spring piece 22. The snap-fit ​​rib 23, the box body 2, and the spring piece 22 are an integrated structure. After the waste fiber collection box is installed at the mounting opening 11, the snap-fit ​​rib 23 can engage with the lower edge of the upper end of the mounting opening 11, further improving the installation stability of the waste fiber collection box. Furthermore, by moving the spring piece 22, the snap-fit ​​rib 23 can be moved out from the lower edge of the mounting opening 11, facilitating the disassembly of the waste fiber collection box.

[0032] The bottom of the left side of the box 2 is also hinged with a cover plate 4 that is configured to cooperate with the waste outlet 12. The left side of the upper surface of the cover plate 4 is provided with an outwardly extending upper protrusion 42, and the left side of the lower surface of the cover plate 4 is provided with a downwardly extending lower protrusion 41. The upper protrusion 42 and the lower protrusion 41 are configured to cooperate with each other. The cover plate 4 is also provided with a strip hole 43 that cooperates with the upper protrusion 42 and the lower protrusion 41. The strip hole 43 is located to the right of the upper protrusion 42 and the lower protrusion 41. The upper surface of the cover plate 4 is also provided with an adhesive 44 that covers the strip hole 43. The adhesive 44 can adhere the optical fiber debris that falls on the cover plate 4 and can also prevent optical fiber debris from leaking out at the strip hole 43. The cover plate 4 is installed in conjunction with the waste discharge port 12. The upper protrusion 42 can lock the cover plate 4 into the slot 14 provided on the waste discharge port 12. The slot 14 is correspondingly provided with the upper protrusion 42. The strip hole 43 allows the lower protrusion 41 to move to the right side of the cover plate 4 when it is subjected to a rightward squeezing force, so that the upper protrusion 42 can be moved out of the slot 14 when the cover plate 4 is opened.

[0033] The left side of the outer casing 1 is also provided with a corresponding upper plate 18 and a lower plate 15, and a storage box 6 is installed between the upper plate 18 and the lower plate 15; the upper surface of the lower plate 15 is provided with a protruding rib 16, and the lower surface of the upper plate 18 is provided with a limiting part 19; the bottom of the storage box 6 is provided with a sliding groove 61 that cooperates with the protruding rib 16, and the sliding groove 61 plays a guiding role in the installation and disassembly of the storage box 6; the top edge of the storage box 6 is provided with a locking part 64 that cooperates with the limiting part 19. The engagement part 64 and the limiting part 19 cooperate to fix the installation position of the storage box 6. The upper surface of the lower plate 15 is also provided with an arc groove 17. The bottom of the storage box 6 is also provided with a strain gauge 62. The top of the lower surface of the strain gauge 62 is provided with a protrusion 63 that cooperates with the arc groove 17. The cooperation between the protrusion 63 and the arc groove 17 can prevent the storage box 6 from slipping. After pushing the storage box 6, the protrusion 63 can drive the strain gauge 62 to deform, thereby causing the protrusion 63 to slide out of the arc groove 17 and the storage box 6 is removed.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
