Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a fiber optic switch, specifically an anti-collision industrial-grade fiber optic switch, belonging to the field of fiber optic switch technology. Background Technology

[0002] A fiber optic switch is a data exchange device specifically designed for fiber optic networks. It can accurately and quickly forward data from different fiber optic links to the corresponding ports based on the destination address in the data frame, enabling high-speed data communication between multiple devices. Fiber optic switches are commonly used in industrial automated production lines and other similar scenarios.

[0003] The existing utility model with authorization announcement number CN222509437U discloses an industrial-grade fiber optic switch. Through the cooperation between the fiber optic switch body and the installation mechanism, the fiber optic switch body can be stably installed on the installation mechanism using a card plate, and disassembly only requires pulling a pull block, thereby making the installation between the fiber optic switch body and the installation mechanism more stable. Through the cooperation between the fiber optic switch housing, the movable disassembly cover, the locking block, and the fixing block, the fiber optic switch housing can be opened by rotating the movable disassembly cover, thereby facilitating internal maintenance. The fixing block and the locking block can be used to fix the movable disassembly cover after it is closed, improving the maintenance efficiency of the electronic components inside the fiber optic switch housing.

[0004] While the above-mentioned technical solutions are convenient for disassembly and maintenance, they only provide a simple protective shell, offering protection against direct external forces. However, the residual shock waves from these impacts can easily damage internal components. The lack of a multi-directional buffer and anti-collision structure makes it difficult for internal components to withstand the energy of external impacts, thus making them susceptible to damage. Therefore, this paper proposes an anti-collision industrial-grade fiber optic switch. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention proposes an anti-collision industrial-grade fiber optic switch to solve the problems in the prior art...

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: an anti-collision industrial-grade fiber optic switch, including a switch body, and an anti-collision buffer mechanism is provided on the outside of the switch body;

[0007] The anti-collision buffer mechanism includes two brackets. The inner wall of each bracket is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the switch body with four mounting bolts. Two buffer plates are slidably connected inside each bracket. Four guide rods are fixedly connected to the inner wall of each bracket. Two first buffer springs are provided inside each buffer plate. A second buffer spring is sleeved on the outer surface of each guide rod. Two connecting plates are fixedly connected to the side of each bracket that is away from each other. A buffer film is fixedly connected to the side of each connecting plate that is away from the bracket.

[0008] Specifically, the two brackets are close to each other on one side, which is in contact with the upper surface and the bottom surface of the switch body, respectively. The outer surface of each guide rod is slidably connected to the inside of the buffer plate. The two ends of each first buffer spring are in contact with the inner wall of the buffer plate and the end of the guide rod away from the bracket, respectively. The two ends of each second buffer spring are in contact with the inner wall of the bracket and the outer surface of the buffer plate, respectively. The outer surface of each mounting bolt is fitted with a washer, and the outer surface of each washer is in contact with the inner wall of the bracket.

[0009] Furthermore, a first buffer block is fixedly connected to the front and back of both brackets, and a plurality of identical first buffer grooves are formed on the outer surface of each first buffer block.

[0010] Each of the buffer plates has a second buffer block fixedly connected to its outer surface, and each second buffer block has several identical second buffer grooves on its outer surface.

[0011] Preferably, limit sliders are fixedly connected to the front and back of the four buffer plates, and the outer surface of each limit slider is slidably connected to the inside of the bracket.

[0012] Furthermore, each of the buffer films has a buffer sponge pad fixedly connected to the side away from the bracket, and each buffer sponge pad has several identical buffer holes on its outer surface.

[0013] This utility model provides an anti-collision industrial-grade fiber optic switch, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] This type of anti-collision industrial-grade fiber optic switch utilizes the coordinated operation of the switch body, brackets, mounting bolts, buffer plate, guide rod, first buffer spring, second buffer spring, connecting plate, and buffer film. Multiple mounting bolts allow two brackets to be installed on the upper and lower surfaces of the switch body, respectively. The buffer film provides vertical anti-collision buffering for the switch body. Upon impact, the first and second buffer springs are compressed, providing horizontal anti-collision buffering for the switch body. This multi-directional anti-collision buffering significantly enhances the safety of internal components, preventing damage caused by the lack of a multi-directional anti-collision structure that would otherwise prevent internal components from withstanding the residual energy of external impacts.

[0024] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this application.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model embodiment provides an anti-collision industrial-grade fiber optic switch, including a switch body 1. The switch body 1 is an existing mature fiber optic switch, which can realize high-speed data communication between multiple devices. An anti-collision buffer mechanism 2 is provided on the outside of the switch body 1. The anti-collision buffer mechanism 2 includes two brackets 201. The brackets 201 can easily support multiple buffer anti-collision structures, and they do not affect the heat dissipation effect of the switch body 1 itself. The inner wall of each bracket 201 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the switch body 1 with four mounting bolts 202. The side of the two brackets 201 that are close to each other is in contact with the upper surface and the bottom surface of the switch body 1, respectively. Each mounting bolt 202 is fitted with a washer 3 on its outer surface. The outer surface of each washer 3 is in contact with the inner wall of the bracket 201. By setting the washer 3, it can be placed between the bracket 201 and the mounting bolt 202 and increase the contact area between the two, thereby increasing the fastening effect of the mounting bolt 202.

[0026] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 Each bracket 201 has two buffer plates 203 slidably connected inside, and four guide rods 204 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of each bracket 201. The outer surface of each guide rod 204 is slidably connected to the inside of the buffer plate 203. First buffer blocks 4 are fixedly connected to the front and back of the two brackets 201. Several identical first buffer grooves 5 are opened on the outer surface of each first buffer block 4. By setting the first buffer grooves 5, the deformation effect of the first buffer blocks 4 can be increased. Thus, the first buffer blocks 4 and the first buffer grooves 5 can jointly improve the anti-collision buffering effect of the front and back of the bracket 201.

[0027] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5Each buffer plate 203 has two first buffer springs 205 inside. The two ends of each first buffer spring 205 are in contact with the inner wall of the buffer plate 203 and the end of the guide rod 204 away from the bracket 201, respectively. The outer surface of each guide rod 204 is fitted with a second buffer spring 206. The two ends of each second buffer spring 206 are in contact with the inner wall of the bracket 201 and the outer surface of the buffer plate 203, respectively. The outer surface of each buffer plate 203 is fixedly connected with a second buffer block 6. The outer surface of each second buffer block 6 is provided with several identical second buffer grooves 7. By setting the second buffer grooves 7, the deformation effect of the second buffer block 6 can be increased. Thus, the second buffer block 6 and the second buffer grooves 7 can jointly improve the anti-collision buffering effect of the outer surface of the buffer plate 203.

[0028] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 Two connecting plates 207 are fixedly connected to the two supports 201 on their opposite sides. Limiting sliders 8 are fixedly connected to the front and back of the four buffer plates 203. The outer surface of each limiting slider 8 is slidably connected to the inside of the support 201. By setting the limiting sliders 8, the buffer plates 203 can slide back and forth in a directional manner inside the support 201, thereby increasing the directional stability of the buffer plates 203 in the back and forth sliding within the support 201 and preventing the buffer plates 203 from sliding out of the support 201.

[0029] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 Each connecting plate 207 has a buffer sheet 208 fixedly connected to the side away from the bracket 201. The buffer sheet 208 is relatively soft and has a good buffering effect. Each buffer sheet 208 has a buffer sponge pad 9 fixedly connected to the side away from the bracket 201. Each buffer sponge pad 9 has several identical buffer holes 10 on its outer surface. By setting the buffer holes 10, the deformation buffering effect of the buffer sponge pad 9 can be increased. By setting the buffer sponge pad 9 and the buffer holes 10, the anti-collision buffering effect of the outer surface of the buffer sheet 208 can be increased together.

[0030] When using this utility model: First, use the mounting bolts 202 to install the two brackets 201 on the upper and lower surfaces of the switch body 1 respectively. Then, the switch body 1 can be used in any convenient posture.

[0031] When the switch body 1 is impacted vertically, the combination of the buffer sheet 208, the buffer sponge pad 9, and the buffer hole 10 can effectively weaken the impact energy in that direction. When the switch body 1 is impacted horizontally in the front-to-back direction, the first buffer block 4 and the first buffer groove 5 can effectively weaken the impact energy in that direction. When the switch body 1 is impacted horizontally in the left-to-right direction, due to the small size of the force-bearing structure at the left and right ends of the switch body 1, the second buffer block 6 and the second buffer groove 7 can provide the first buffer. During the sliding of the buffer plate 203 relative to the guide rod 204, the first buffer spring 205 forms an elastic buffer between the guide rod 204 and the buffer plate 203, and the second buffer spring 206 forms an elastic buffer between the bracket 201 and the buffer plate 203, thereby effectively weakening the impact energy in that direction.

[0032] The above structure provides multi-directional anti-collision buffer for the main body of the switch 1, which greatly improves the safety of the internal components of the main body of the switch 1. The design of the entire anti-collision industrial-grade optical switch effectively solves the problem that the internal components of the switch are easily damaged due to the lack of multi-directional buffer anti-collision structure, which makes it difficult to withstand the residual energy of external impact.

[0033] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
