[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] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides a controllable and manageable optical cable junction box connector, including a junction box body 1, a fixing component 3 at one end of the junction box body 1, and an intelligent control and management module inside the junction box body 1, which can monitor and manage the working status of the entire connector in real time.

[0029] The fixing assembly 3 includes two fixing plates 31, which are fixedly connected to the junction box body 1. Insert rods 34 are slidably connected to the inner surfaces of both fixing plates 31. Movable plates 35 are fixedly connected to one end of each insert rod 34, and the two movable plates 35 are slidably connected to the junction box body 1. Fixing springs 32 are wound around the outer surfaces of both insert rods 34. Clamping plates 37 are fixedly connected to corresponding ends of the two movable plates 35, and one end of each clamping plate 37 is arc-shaped. A clamping device is inserted into one end of the junction box body 1. The protective tube 1 2 has a fixing groove 59 on its outer surface that is used to cooperate with two clamping plates 37. One end of the protective tube 1 2 is provided with a protective tube 2 4. The outer surfaces of the protective tube 1 2 and the protective tube 2 4 are provided with a connector body 5. Under the action of the fixing spring 32, the two arc-shaped clamping plates 37 can fit tightly into the fixing groove 59 of the protective tube 1 2, so as to realize the quick and stable installation of the protective tube 1 2 and the junction box body 1. When disassembling, the pull block 33 can be pulled, which greatly improves the convenience of installation and disassembly of the protective tube and the connection stability.

[0030] Specifically, two guide grooves 6 are provided on the outer surface of the junction box body 1. One end of each of the two moving plates 35 is fixedly connected to a guide block 36 that works in conjunction with the guide grooves 6. This effectively restricts the moving direction of the moving plates 35, prevents them from shifting or shaking during sliding, and makes the clamping plate 37 more precise and stable in fixing the protective tube 2, thereby enhancing the reliability of the overall structure.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, each of the two insertion rods 34 has a pull block 33 fixedly connected to one end of its back-to-back side, providing the operator with a component that facilitates the application of force. When installing or removing the protective tube 2, the insertion rods 34 can be moved by pulling the pull block 33, making the operation more labor-saving and efficient, and reducing the labor intensity of the workers.

[0032] Furthermore, the connector body 5 includes a sleeve 52, which is slidably connected to the second protective tube 4. The outer surface of the second protective tube 4 is provided with a receiving groove 54. A return spring 522 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one side of the receiving groove 54. The other end of the return spring 522 is fixedly connected to a moving ring 521. The moving ring 521 is fixedly connected to the sleeve 52. The outer surface of the receiving groove 54 is provided with several spherical grooves 53. The inner surface of each of the several spherical grooves 53 is provided with a ball 57 that cooperates with the moving ring 521. The outer surface of the first protective tube 2 is provided with an annular groove 51 that cooperates with the ball 57. When the first protective tube 2 and the second protective tube 4 are docked, the ball 57 can automatically be inserted into the annular groove 51 to achieve precise positioning and firm connection between the protective tubes, ensuring the stability and reliability of the optical signal transmission path.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, two sliders 523 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the sleeve 52. The outer surface of the protective tube 2 is provided with a groove 55 that works with the two sliders 523 to guide and limit the sliding of the sleeve 52. This ensures that the sleeve 52 can accurately drive the moving ring 521 and the ball 57 to dock with the annular groove 51 during the movement, thereby improving the smoothness and accuracy of the protective tube connection operation.

[0034] It is worth noting that the inner surface of the protective tube 2 is provided with a ferrule 58. One end of the ferrule 58 is connected to the optical cable terminal equipment inside the junction box 1. The inner surface of the protective tube 4 is fixedly connected with a connector 56 that is used in conjunction with the ferrule 58. One end of the connector 56 is fixedly connected to the optical fiber body. The precise fit between the ferrule 58 and the connector 56, as well as their connections to the optical cable terminal equipment and the optical fiber body respectively, enables efficient transmission of optical signals inside and outside the junction box, ensuring low loss and stability of optical signal transmission and meeting communication requirements.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the dimensions of several spherical grooves 53 are adapted to several balls 57, which can ensure that the balls 57 can roll flexibly in the spherical grooves 53 and form a tight and stable connection when they are engaged in the annular grooves 51, thereby enhancing the reliability and durability of the protective tube connection structure.

[0036] Working principle and process: When installing protective tube 1 (2), pull block 33 drives insertion rod 34, causing clamp 37 to open against the elastic force of fixing spring 32, inserting protective tube 1 (2) into junction box body 1. Release pull block 33, and fixing spring 32 pushes clamp 37 into fixing groove 59 of protective tube 1 (2) to complete fixation. When connecting protective tube 1 (2) and protective tube 2 (4), pull sleeve 52, sleeve 52 drives moving ring 521 to compress return spring 522. When protective tube 1 (2) and protective tube 2 (4) are aligned, return spring 522 pushes moving ring 521 to make ball 57 engage in annular groove 51 of protective tube 1 (2) to achieve connection. Slider 523 and sliding groove 55 ensure accurate movement direction of sleeve 52. Optical signal is transmitted through optical fiber body to connector 56 and ferrule 58, and transmitted to optical cable terminal equipment in junction box body 1, completing the transmission and management of optical signal in optical cable junction box connector.
