[0035] 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.
[0036] In the embodiments, by Figure 1-4 The present invention provides a highly flexible and easily deployable MPO fiber optic patch cord curvature folding structure, which may optionally include, but is not limited to, a fiber optic patch cord body 1.
[0037] Fixing component 2 is detachably located on the outside of the fiber optic patch cord body 1;
[0038] The folding component 3, located on the outside of the fixing component 2, includes a folding sleeve 32 disposed on the fixing component 2; and two elastic rubber sheets 33 symmetrically disposed on the side of the folding sleeve 32 away from the fixing component 2.
[0039] Mounting component 4 is located on the outside of fixing component 2.
[0040] This embodiment presents a highly flexible and easily deployable MPO fiber optic patch cord curvature folding structure. Through the fixing component 2, the folding component 3 and the mounting component 4 can be positioned on the outside of the fiber optic patch cord body 1. This allows the folding component 3 to fold the fiber optic patch cord body 1 curvature, preventing the fiber optic patch cord body 1 from becoming too long and inconvenient to carry. Simultaneously, the mounting component 4 allows the fixing component 2 to be positioned on the outside of the network device, preventing the fiber optic patch cord body 1 from being placed haphazardly during use. Furthermore, it allows for the curvature folding of excess fiber optic patch cord body 1, preventing excess fiber optic patch cord body 1 from easily tangling with other fiber optic patch cord body 1s, thus affecting the ease of maintenance for staff.
[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 2As shown, the fixing component 2 in the preferred embodiment of this utility model includes a fixing sleeve 21, which is sleeved on the outside of the fiber optic patch cord body 1; a number of clearance holes 22, which are evenly distributed on the outside of the fixing sleeve 21; and a number of rubber sleeves 23, which are evenly distributed on the inside of the fixing sleeve 21, with one end of the rubber sleeve 23 away from the fixing sleeve 21 contacting the outside of the fiber optic patch cord body 1.
[0042] Furthermore, the rubber sleeve 23 is a conical rubber sleeve, and the larger end of the rubber sleeve 23 contacts the inner side of the fixing sleeve 21. The positions of a number of rubber sleeves 23 correspond to the positions of a number of clearance holes 22. Since the rubber sleeve 23 is a conical rubber sleeve 23, the end of the rubber sleeve 23 that contacts the fiber optic patch cord body 1 is more likely to deform, and the degree of deformation of the rubber sleeve 23 can be increased under the action of the clearance holes 22.
[0043] More specifically, the rubber sleeve 23 has a number of wavy resistance-increasing grooves 24 on the side away from the fixing sleeve 21. The distance between the opposite surfaces of the two symmetrical rubber sleeves 23 is smaller than the diameter of the fiber optic patch cord body 1. In this way, under the action of the number of wavy resistance-increasing grooves 24, the friction between the rubber sleeve 23 and the fiber optic patch cord body 1 can be increased, thereby improving the stability of the fixing sleeve 21 on the outside of the fiber optic patch cord body 1.
[0044] In this embodiment, several preferred embodiments of the fixing component 2 are given. By fitting the fixing sleeve 21 onto the outside of the fiber optic patch cord body 1, since the distance between the opposite faces of the two symmetrical rubber sleeves 23 is smaller than the diameter of the fiber optic patch cord body 1, the fiber optic patch cord body 1 will compress a number of rubber sleeves 23, thereby causing the rubber sleeves 23 to deform. After the fixing sleeve 21 is moved to a suitable position on the outside of the fiber optic patch cord body 1, the fixing sleeve 21 can be stably set on the outside of the fiber optic patch cord body 1 under the action of the several deformed rubber sleeves 23.
[0045] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the folding assembly 3 in the preferred embodiment of the present invention further includes a support shaft 31 disposed on the outside of the fixed sleeve 21, and a folding sleeve 32 disposed on the end of the support shaft 31 away from the fixed sleeve 21; a number of resistance-increasing plates 34 are evenly distributed on the inside of the folding sleeve 32.
[0046] Furthermore, the inner side of the folding sleeve 32 is adapted to the outer side of the fiber optic patch cord body 1; both elastic rubber sheets 33 are arc-shaped elastic rubber sheets.
[0047] Preferably, there are several folding components 3, and the several folding components 3 are evenly distributed on the outside of the fixed sleeve 21.
[0048] This embodiment provides several preferred embodiments of the folding assembly 3. By bending the two elastic rubber sheets 33 in opposite directions, the fiber optic patch cord body 1 is placed inside the folding sleeve 32. Then, the elastic rubber sheets 33 are released, and they return to their original position, thus limiting the fiber optic patch cord body 1 inside the folding sleeve 32. Furthermore, the friction between the folding sleeve 32 and the fiber optic patch cord body 1 is increased by the friction-enhancing sheets 34 inside the folding sleeve 32, thereby preventing the fiber optic patch cord body 1 from sliding inside the folding sleeve 32. Under the action of the folding component 3, the fiber optic patch cord body 1 can be reciprocated and limited inside a number of folding components 3. This can prevent a large number of fiber optic patch cord bodies 1 from getting tangled together, which would make it inconvenient for staff to handle and use the fiber optic patch cord bodies 1. Moreover, after the fiber optic patch cord body 1 is connected to the network equipment, the excess length of the fiber optic patch cord body 1 can be folded in a curved manner, thereby preventing the excess length of the fiber optic patch cord body 1 from getting tangled with other fiber optic patch cord bodies 1, thus improving the convenience of staff to maintain the fiber optic patch cord body 1 in the future.
[0049] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the mounting component 4 in the preferred embodiment of this utility model includes an extension shaft 41 disposed on the outside of the fixing sleeve 21; a rubber base plate 42 disposed on the upper end face of the extension shaft 41; a first hook and loop fastener 43 disposed on the upper surface of the rubber base plate 42; a flexible connecting strip 44 disposed on the outside of the rubber base plate 42; a second hook and loop fastener 45 disposed on the end of the flexible connecting strip 44 away from the rubber base plate 42; and an adhesive backing paper 46 disposed adhesively on the upper surface of the second hook and loop fastener 45.
[0050] Furthermore, the first hook and loop fastener 43 is a hook-and-loop fastener, and the second hook and loop fastener 45 is a loop fastener; the upper surface of the second hook and loop fastener 45 is coated with adhesive, and the adhesive backing paper 46 is bonded to the upper surface of the second hook and loop fastener 45 by the adhesive backing.
[0051] This embodiment provides several preferred embodiments of the installation component 4. By attaching the first Velcro 43 to the outside of the worker's clothing, the fiber optic patch cord body 1 can be placed on the outside of the worker's clothing, making it more convenient for the worker to pick up the fiber optic patch cord body 1. Furthermore, the extension shaft 41 prevents the folding component 3 from interfering with attaching the first Velcro 43 to the outside of the worker's clothing. After the fiber optic patch cord body 1 is connected to the network device, the adhesive paper 46 can be peeled off from the second Velcro 45, and then the second Velcro 45 can be attached to a suitable position on the outside of the network device. Subsequently, the first Velcro 43 is attached to the second Velcro 45. This allows the folding component 3 on the outside of the fixing sleeve 21 to be placed on the outside of the network device. This enables a number of folding components 3 to fold and store the excess parts of the fiber optic patch cord body 1, and allows for flexible deployment of the fiber optic patch cord body 1. This prevents the excess parts of the fiber optic patch cord body 1 from being scattered on the ground, which could lead to tangling between the fiber optic patch cord bodies 1 and affect subsequent maintenance by the worker.
