Detailed Implementation

[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, 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 some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0036] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown in the figure, this application embodiment provides an electronic tag holder, which includes a holder collar 1 and a tag mounting plate 2. The holder collar 1 is hollow and has a fitting opening 10 on its side wall. The two ends of the holder collar 1 along its axial direction are a first end 11 and a second end 12, respectively. From the first end 11 to the second end 12, the inner wall of the holder collar 1 is sequentially provided with an FC structure 13 for engaging with an FC connector 3 and an SC structure 14 for engaging with an SC connector 4. The tag mounting plate 2 is mounted on the holder collar 1.

[0037] The electronic tag holder provided in this application is provided with an FC structure 13 for engaging with an FC connector 3 and an SC structure 14 for engaging with an SC connector 4, making it compatible with both FC connector 3 and SC connector 4. In application scenarios where both FC connector 3 and SC connector 4 are available, the electronic tag holder provided in this application can be selected, reducing the number of material types. Therefore, this application can solve the problem in related technologies where RFID tag holders are only suitable for one type of fiber optic connector, resulting in poor versatility, and when encountering different fiber optic connectors, different types of RFID tag holders are required, leading to a large number of material requirements.

[0038] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, with the orientation of the first end 11 as positive and the orientation of the second end 12 as negative, when the electronic tag holder is assembled with the FC connector 3, the electronic tag holder is oriented along... Figure 3 The middle arrow is reversed and fitted onto the FC connector 3, so that the socket opening 10 of the electronic tag holder fits into the outer shell of the FC connector 3, and the FC structure 13 fits onto the rotating sleeve 30. During installation, the socket opening 10 of the electronic tag holder will undergo elastic deformation, and will return to its original shape after installation, thereby realizing the snap-fit ​​between the electronic tag holder and the FC connector 3.

[0039] See Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, when the electronic tag holder is assembled with the SC connector 4, the electronic tag holder is aligned along... Figure 5 The central arrow points directly onto the SC connector 4, allowing the electronic tag holder's socket opening 10 to fit into the housing of the SC connector 4, and the SC structure 14 to fit onto the housing. During installation, the electronic tag holder's socket opening 10 undergoes elastic deformation and returns to its original shape after installation, thus achieving the snap-fit ​​between the electronic tag holder and the SC connector 4.

[0040] As an example, see Figure 1 As shown, the label mounting plate 2 has the first end 11 extending axially along the card holder collar 1, and the card holder collar 1 is an integral structure.

[0041] As another example, see Figure 2 As shown, the card holder collar 1 is a split structure. Specifically, the card holder collar 1 includes a first collar segment 15 and a second collar segment 16. The two ends of the label mounting plate 2 are respectively connected to the first collar segment 15 and the second collar segment 16. The FC structure 13 is located on the inner wall of the first collar segment 15. The SC structure 14 is located on the inner wall of the second collar segment 16.

[0042] The two structural forms described above provide a variety of feasible solutions for the electronic tag card holder of this application, which users can choose according to their actual needs.

[0043] Since the FC connector 3 is typically circular and has a rotating sleeve 30, as an example, in order to adapt to the FC connector 3, [the following is an example]. Figure 1 As shown, the FC structure 13 is an arc surface with a circular cross-section formed by the inner wall of the card seat collar 1, and the arc surface is adapted to the outer wall of the rotating sleeve 30 of the FC connector 3.

[0044] When designing the structural dimensions, the arc surface can be made to have a certain degree of interference fit with the outer wall of the rotating sleeve 30, thereby achieving the purpose of fastening.

[0045] Furthermore, in order to prevent the electronic tag holder from rotating, a first toothed groove is provided on the arc surface to mesh with the second toothed groove on the outer wall of the rotating sleeve 30. By using the assembly form in which the first toothed groove and the second toothed groove mesh with each other, relative rotation between the electronic tag holder and the FC connector 3 can be prevented.

[0046] Since SC connector 4 is usually square in structure, as an example, in order to adapt to SC connector 4, [the following is an example]. Figure 1 As shown, the SC structure 14 is a square surface with a square cross-section formed by the inner wall of the card seat collar 1, and the square surface is adapted to the outer wall of the outer shell of the SC connector 4.

[0047] When designing the structural dimensions, the square face can be made to have a certain degree of interference fit with the outer wall of the SC connector 4, thereby achieving the purpose of fastening.

[0048] Further, see Figure 1 As shown, on the two opposite sidewalls of the socket opening 10, at least one sidewall extends toward the other sidewall to form a latching protrusion 100. The purpose of setting the socket opening is to facilitate fitting it onto the optical cable radially and assembling it by moving it along the optical cable axially, so as to meet the requirement of continuous light during installation. By designing the latching protrusion 100, the wrapping area of ​​the electronic tag holder and the optical fiber connector can be increased, thereby making the assembly effect better.

[0049] See Figure 7 As shown in the figure, this application embodiment also provides an electronic tag device, which includes an electronic tag holder and an electronic tag 5, the electronic tag 5 being mounted on the tag mounting plate 2.

[0050] Furthermore, the label mounting plate 2 has a label mounting groove 20 on its surface, the electronic tag 5 is located in the label mounting groove 20, and a protective layer 6 is provided in the label mounting groove 20, the protective layer 6 covering the electronic tag 5.

[0051] The protective layer 6 can provide a certain degree of waterproof and dustproof protection. By setting the label mounting slot 20 and working in conjunction with the protective layer 6, the service life of the electronic tag 5 can be improved.

[0052] Furthermore, the protective layer 6 is cured with photosensitive adhesive, such as ultraviolet light-curing resin, or other commonly used photosensitive adhesives. This photosensitive adhesive can be directly dripped into the label mounting groove 20 to effectively wrap the electronic tag 5. Then, it is cured quickly by ultraviolet light irradiation, which speeds up the manufacturing process, improves manufacturing efficiency, and ultimately reliably fixes the electronic tag 5, making it waterproof, dustproof, and anti-drip. The process is also relatively simple.

[0053] Further, see Figure 7 As shown, the edge of the label mounting groove 20 is provided with an adhesive receiving groove 21 extending toward the center of the label mounting groove 20. After the photosensitive adhesive is dripped in, the photosensitive adhesive can be adhered to the back of the electronic tag 5 along the adhesive receiving groove 21, and the electronic tag 5 can be further bonded and fixed from the back, thereby increasing the adhesion of the adhesive to the electronic tag 5, strengthening the stability of the product, and the label data storage time is long, conservatively estimated to be up to 10 years.
