[0043] Embodiment 1:

[0044] The utility model embodiment 1 provides an adapter for photoelectric hybrid port identification, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 Shown, the adapter includes: outer frame 1 and adapter body 3, as shown in Figure 3a and Figure 3b Shown, the inside of outer frame 1 is provided with circuit board 15, ID chip 10 and conductive sheet 12 are provided on circuit board 15, ID chip 10 is used to store port information;The signal end of conductive sheet 12 is connected with ID chip 10, one end of conductive sheet 12 extends to the side surface of outer frame 1, to make the conductive needle 20 on jumper connector 2 connect with conductive sheet 12;Outer frame 1 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of adapter body 3, and adapter body 3 is in abutment with circuit board 15.

[0047] In this embodiment, the staff can use the software of specific terminal equipment to monitor port information, so as to facilitate the integrated management of information.

[0048] In order to completely set forth the technical scheme provided by the utility model embodiment, the structures mentioned in the above scheme are further described in detail.

[0049] The embodiment replaces the attenuator in the conventional scheme with the outer frame 1, so as to achieve the transmission of port information and avoid fiber loss.

[0050] In the above scheme, the inner part of the outer frame 1 is provided with an ID chip 10. The fixing manner of the ID chip 10 in the outer frame 1 can be that, as shown in Figure 3a and Figure 3b a first accommodating groove 11 is arranged in the outer frame 1, and the circuit board 15 is arranged in the first accommodating groove 11; two conductive sheets 12 are arranged on the circuit board 15, and two accommodating portions 13 are arranged on the outer frame 1, and the two conductive sheets 12 are arranged in the accommodating portions 13, respectively. The ID chip 10 is electrically connected with the circuit board 15, and the conductive sheet 12 needs to realize the electrical connection of the circuit board 15 to transmit information, so, as shown in Figure 3a and Figure 4 the conductive sheet 12 comprises a first conductive portion 120 and a second conductive portion 121 which are connected with each other, the first conductive portion 120 is connected with a signal end of the ID chip 10, and the second conductive portion 121 is arranged on the side surface of the outer frame 1.

[0051] The model of the ID chip 10 can be GX2431 1024-bit 1-Wire EEPROM memory, which is provided with data input and output pins to be electrically connected with the circuit board 15, and is electrically connected with the circuit board 15 through the two conductive sheets 12. The jumper wire connected to the outside of the adapter body 3 is electrically connected with the conductive sheet 12, so that a loop is formed between the jumper wire-conductive sheet 12-circuit board 15-ID chip 10-jumper wire to supply power to the ID chip 10, so as to obtain the information stored in the ID chip 10.

[0052] In the embodiment, the signal end of the ID chip 10 comprises a power supply end and a data output end, one of the conductive sheets 12 is connected with the power supply end of the ID chip 10, and the other conductive sheet 12 is connected with the data output end of the ID chip 10. Two conductive pins 20 are also arranged on the jumper connector 2, one of the conductive pins 20 is used to transmit a power supply signal to supply power to the ID chip 10, and the other conductive pin 20 is used to receive the port information output from the data output end of the ID chip 10. In actual use, the jumper connector 2 is inserted into the adapter, the conductive pins 20 are electrically connected with the conductive sheets 12, the ID chip 10 is powered on, and the port information is transmitted to the jumper connector 2.

[0053] Since the conductive sheet 12 needs to be limited in the accommodating portion 13 and between the ID chip 10 and the adapter body 3, as shown in Figure 4As shown, the first conductive part 120 includes a connecting part 1200 and a transition part 1201, the connecting part 1200 is connected with the conductive structure on the circuit board 15, and the transition part 1201 is connected with the second conductive part 121. Wherein, the ID chip 10 and the conductive sheet 12 are arranged on different element welding surfaces of the circuit board 15, and the adapter body 3 abuts against the conductive sheet 12. In an embodiment, the conductive structure is a pad, and the connecting part 1200 can be directly welded on the circuit board 15; in a more preferred embodiment, the conductive sheet 12 and the circuit board 15 are independently arranged, the conductive structure is a conductive block, the conductive block is welded on the circuit board 15, the connecting part 1200 is clamped between the adapter body 3 and the outer frame 1, and the connecting part 1200 abuts against the conductive block to form an electrical connection. When the circuit board 15 fails, the circuit board 15 can be directly replaced, without the need to disassemble the conductive sheet 12, the maintenance is simple, the materials are maximized, and the maintenance cost is reduced.

[0054] In the foregoing scheme, the outer frame 1 is fixedly sleeved outside the adapter body 3, in order to ensure that the outer frame 1 is not easy to fall off from the adapter body 3, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the adapter body 3 and the outer frame 1 are provided with a spring 4, the adapter body 3 is provided with a first accommodating position 30, the form of the first accommodating position 30 matches the form of the spring 4, the spring 4 is placed in the inside of the first accommodating position 30, and the outer frame 1 and the spring 4 are mutually clamped. Specifically, the spring 4 is provided with a locking piece 40, the outer frame 1 is provided with a lock port 14, and the locking piece 40 and the lock port 14 are mutually locked. Wherein, the locking piece 40 can be arranged in a manner that both sides of the spring 4 are respectively provided with a window 41, the locking piece 40 is fixedly connected with one side of the window 41, and the opening direction of the locking piece 40 faces the distribution frame 5.

[0055] In order to enable the spring 4 to be completely limited by the first accommodating position 30, and avoid the spring 4 from falling out of the first accommodating position 30, the depth of the first accommodating position 30 is greater than or equal to the thickness of the spring 4. However, it is worth noting that the depth of the first accommodating position 30 is only slightly greater than the thickness of the spring 4, and needs to be able to ensure that the locking piece 40 and the lock port 14 are clamped.

[0056] In the existing port identification system, there is a lack of real-time transmission of port identity information to the management software visualization scheme, resulting in the inability of operation and maintenance personnel to remotely monitor the port state, making it difficult to achieve intelligent and centralized network management. Some solutions achieve port tracking by integrating a recognition module into an attenuator, but the insertion loss (typical value > 0.5 dB) of the attenuator itself will be superimposed on the optical fiber transmission link. For long-distance communication or high-power sensitive scenarios, this additional loss may directly affect the signal quality, and even additional optical amplifiers may be needed to compensate.

[0057] Therefore, according to the adapter structure provided by the above scheme, the utility model also provides an optoelectrical hybrid port identification system, as shown in Figure 7 As shown, comprising: the adapter for optoelectrical hybrid port identification in the above scheme, distribution frame 5 and jumper connector 2, the outer frame 1 and the adapter body 3 are installed on the distribution frame 5, and the jumper connector 2 is plugged into the adapter body 3;As shown in Figure 8 The jumper connector 2 is provided with a conductive pin 20, and the conductive pin 20 is elastically connected with the jumper connector 2, and the conductive pin 20 is electrically connected with the ID chip 10.

[0058] Specifically, in order to ensure the stability of the abutment between the conductive pin 20 and the second conductive part 121 (see Figure 4 As shown), avoid the disengagement of the conductive pin 20 and the second conductive part 121 due to environmental vibration or other factors, the conductive pin 20 is elastically connected with the jumper connector 2, and the conductive pin 20 is elastically abutted with the outer surface of the second conductive part 121. That is, the conductive pin 20 can slide in the jumper connector 2, but will not come out of the jumper connector 2. In the case that the conductive pin 20 is not stressed, the length outside the jumper connector 2 is longer, when the conductive pin 20 is subjected to extrusion force, part of the length of the conductive pin 20 will be retracted into the jumper connector 2 due to the extrusion force, even if the jumper connector 2 is slightly detached from the adapter body 3 due to vibration in the environment, the conductive pin 20 will maintain the abutment state with the second conductive part 121.

[0059] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the utility model, and does not limit the utility model, and any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
