[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0028] Example 1:

[0029] Please see Figures 1-5 An easy-to-install fiber optic switch includes a main body 1, an installation mechanism, and a fixing mechanism. The installation mechanism includes a housing 2, a connecting plate 3, a first spring 4, a fixing frame 5, and auxiliary components. The main body 1 is installed inside the housing 2. The connecting plate 3 is installed on the housing 2 and slidably connected to the housing 2. The first spring 4 is installed inside the housing 2, and its other end is fixedly connected to the fixing frame 5. The fixing frame 5 is installed inside the housing 2 and is slidably connected to the housing 2 and cooperates with the connecting plate 3. The auxiliary components include a temperature-conducting plate 6, a rubber plate 7, and a sealing gasket 8. The temperature-conducting plate 6 is installed on the housing 2. The rubber plate 7 is fixedly installed on the connecting plate 3. The sealing gasket 8 is fixedly installed on the temperature-conducting plate 6 and cooperates with the main body 1.

[0030] In this embodiment, the installation mechanism includes a housing 2, a connecting plate 3, a first spring 4, a fixing frame 5, and auxiliary components. In use, the main body 1 is placed inside the housing 2 through the inlet hole 14, and then the temperature-conducting plate 6 is installed on the inlet hole 14. The sealing gasket 8 on the temperature-conducting plate 6 directly engages with the sealing groove 15, which also allows the temperature-conducting plate 6 to be stably fixed on the housing 2. At this time, preparations are made to install the housing 2 to other required locations. First, the connecting plate 3 is fixed in one place, and the adhesive plate 7 on the connecting plate 3 is also fixed in a certain position. Then, the housing 2 is installed on the connecting plate 3, and the connecting plate 3 slides directly in the first sliding groove 16 of the housing 2. During installation, the fixing frame 5 is pulled first, so that the fixing frame 5 can slide on the housing 2 and compress the first spring 4. After the connecting plate 3 is completely installed on the housing 2, the fixing frame 5 is released, and the compressed first spring 4 directly pushes the first locking block 18 on the fixing frame 5 into the first locking hole 17 of the connecting plate 3, thereby fixing the housing 2 on the connecting plate 3.

[0031] In this embodiment, the fixing mechanism includes a tension spring 9, a cable tie 10, a limiting bracket 11, and a second spring 12. During use, a connecting wire is inserted into the main body 1 and then fixed to the outer casing 2. Before inserting the connecting wire, the tension spring 9 is in a normal state, indicating that the cable ties 10 are not in contact with each other, and the limiting bracket 11 is not engaged with the cable tie 10. After the connecting wire is installed, the pressing rod 22 can be pressed directly, and the limiting bracket 11 can be pulled simultaneously, allowing the limiting bracket 11 to squeeze... The second spring 12 is compressed, and at the same time the cable tie 10 slides in the second slide groove 19 and moves towards each other. At this time, the tension spring 9 is stretched, and the rubber pad 21 in the cable tie hole 20 of the cable tie 10 also contacts the connecting wire, so that the connecting wire can be fixed in the cable tie hole 20. When the cable tie 10 contacts each other, the limiting frame 11 is released. Under the action of the compressed second spring 12, the second locking block 24 on the limiting frame 11 directly enters the second locking hole 23 of the cable tie 10, thereby fixing the position of the cable tie 10.

[0032] Example 2:

[0033] In summary, during use, firstly, the main body 1 is installed inside the outer shell 2. The main body 1 is placed into the outer shell 2 through the inlet hole 14. Then, the temperature-conducting plate 6 is installed onto the inlet hole 14. The sealing gasket 8 on the temperature-conducting plate 6 directly engages with the sealing groove 15, allowing the temperature-conducting plate 6 to be stably fixed onto the outer shell 2. At this point, preparations are made to install the outer shell 2 to other required locations. First, the connecting plate 3 is fixed in one place, and the adhesive plate 7 on the connecting plate 3 is also fixed in a certain position. Then, the outer shell 2 is installed onto the connecting plate 3. The connecting plate 3 slides directly in the first sliding groove 16 of the outer shell 2. During installation, the fixing bracket 5 is pulled first, allowing the fixing bracket 5 to slide on the outer shell 2 and compress the first spring 4. After the connecting plate 3 is fully installed onto the outer shell 2, the fixing bracket 5 is released. The compressed first spring 4 directly pushes the first locking block 18 on the fixing bracket 5 into the first locking hole 17 of the connecting plate 3, thereby securing the outer shell 2 to the outer shell 2. The shell 2 is fixed to the connecting plate 3. At this time, the main body 1 is fixed and the connecting wire can be inserted into the main body 1. Then, the connecting wire needs to be fixed to the shell 2. Before inserting the connecting wire, the tension spring 9 is in normal condition, indicating that there is no contact between the cable tie 10s, and the limiting frame 11 has not been connected with the cable tie 10. After the connecting wire is installed, the pressing rod 22 can be pressed directly, and the limiting frame 11 can be pulled at the same time, so that the limiting frame 11 can compress the second spring 12. At the same time, the cable tie... The wire rack 10 slides in the second slide groove 19 and moves towards each other. At this time, the tension spring 9 is stretched, and the rubber pad 21 in the wire bundling hole 20 of the wire rack 10 also contacts the connecting wire, so that the connecting wire can be fixed in the wire bundling hole 20. When the wire racks 10 contact each other, the limiting frame 11 is released. Under the action of the compressed second spring 12, the second locking block 24 on the limiting frame 11 directly enters the second locking hole 23 of the wire rack 10, thereby fixing the position of the wire rack 10.

[0034] Of all the solutions mentioned above, those involving the connection between two components can be selected according to the actual situation, such as welding, bolt and nut connection, bolt or screw connection, or other known connection methods, which will not be elaborated here. For all the fixed connections mentioned above, welding is preferred. Although embodiments of this utility model have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model. The scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
