Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of optical transceiver technology, specifically relating to a detachable front panel of an optical transceiver. Background Technology

[0002] Optical transceivers are key devices in fiber optic communication systems, primarily used for converting electrical signals to optical signals. In fiber optic communication networks, information is typically generated, processed, and used in the form of electrical signals. However, for long-distance transmission over optical fibers, these electrical signals need to be converted into optical signals. Optical transceivers play the roles of both transmitter and receiver in this process.

[0003] Problems with existing technology:

[0004] Currently, most of the front panels used in existing optical transceivers are non-removable, which affects the maintenance of the optical transceivers. Meanwhile, some removable front panels are usually fixed to the optical transceivers with bolts, but this fixing method is not convenient for quick assembly and disassembly, thus affecting the normal use of the optical transceivers. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a detachable front panel for an optical transceiver. The positioning frame enables the front panel to be installed with the optical transceiver without being mistakenly attached. Furthermore, the quick-release mechanism and locking mechanism between the front panel and the optical transceiver allow for quick disassembly, assembly, and locking of the front panel.

[0006] The specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A detachable optical transceiver front panel includes an optical transceiver body, wherein a front panel body is provided on one side of the optical transceiver body;

[0008] The front panel body is equipped with a locking mechanism for rotation, and a quick-release mechanism is provided on the back of the front panel body.

[0009] The quick-release mechanism includes a plug fixedly installed on the back of the front panel body. The plug passes through the clamping assembly and engages with the mounting base. The mounting base is fixedly installed with the optical transceiver body through the mounting groove, so that the optical transceiver body is engaged with the front panel body.

[0010] The optical transceiver body is inserted into the front panel body via a positioning frame, and the mounting slot and mounting hole are formed on the front of the optical transceiver body.

[0011] The plug is slidably mounted to the front panel body via a mounting slot, and the clamping assembly is rotatably mounted on both sides of the mounting base.

[0012] The clamping assembly includes a locking block, inside which a torsion spring is fixedly installed via a fixing block, and the other end of the torsion spring is fixedly installed to a mounting rod.

[0013] The mounting rod is rotatably installed inside the locking block, and the mounting rod passes through the locking block and is fixedly installed with the mounting base.

[0014] The locking mechanism includes a knob that is slidably installed inside the positioning cylinder, and the knob drives the limiting block to move along the guide groove.

[0015] The limiting block is fixedly installed with the knob, the guide groove is formed on the surface of the positioning cylinder, and the positioning cylinder is fixedly installed inside the mounting hole.

[0016] The technical effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:

[0017] This invention utilizes a plug and a positioning frame installed on the back of the front panel body. The positioning frame is used to prevent the front panel body from being mistakenly installed on the optical transceiver body. The plug can slide inside the mounting slot and enter the clamping assembly. When the plug is inserted into the clamping assembly, it can push the torsion spring to retract. When the plug is fully inserted, the torsion spring can be reset to fix the plug between the mounting base and the clamping assembly. This achieves quick snap-fit ​​between the optical transceiver body and the front panel body and facilitates subsequent disassembly.

[0018] This invention utilizes a knob installed inside the front panel body. The knob rotates and drives a limiting block to insert into the positioning cylinder. A spring is installed inside the positioning cylinder. Therefore, when installing the optical transceiver body and the front panel body, the end of the knob compresses the spring, and the limiting block moves along the guide groove to its end, thereby locking the knob and the positioning cylinder together. By fixing the knob and the positioning cylinder, the optical transceiver body and the front panel body are locked together, thus preventing loosening and detachment. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0027] To make the objectives and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific embodiments of this utility model and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by this utility model.

[0028] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a detachable optical transceiver front panel includes an optical transceiver body 1, and a front panel body 2 is provided on one side of the optical transceiver body 1.

[0029] The front panel body 2 is equipped with a locking mechanism 3 for rotation, and a quick-release mechanism 5 is provided on the back of the front panel body 2.

[0030] The quick-release mechanism 5 includes a plug 51 fixedly installed on the back of the front panel body 2. The plug 51 passes through the clamping assembly 53 and is engaged with the mounting base 52. The mounting base 52 is fixedly installed with the optical transceiver body 1 through the mounting groove 4, so that the optical transceiver body 1 is engaged with the front panel body 2.

[0031] See attached document Figures 2 to 5 In this embodiment, the optical transceiver body 1 is connected to the front panel body 2 via the positioning frame 7, and the mounting slot 4 and mounting hole 6 are formed on the front of the optical transceiver body 1.

[0032] In the above embodiment, the positioning frame 7 enables the optical transceiver body 1 and the front panel body 2 to be installed without error, thereby avoiding installation errors that could damage the optical transceiver body 1.

[0033] Furthermore, by setting the mounting slot 4 and mounting hole 6, part of the quick-release mechanism 5 and the locking mechanism 3 can be installed with the optical transceiver body 1. Since the other part of the quick-release mechanism 5 and the locking mechanism 3 is installed with the front panel body 2, the optical transceiver body 1 and the front panel body 2 can be quickly installed, removed and locked.

[0034] According to the above mechanism, the plug 51 is slidably installed with the front panel body 2 through the mounting groove 4, while the clamping assembly 53 is rotatably installed on both sides of the mounting base 52. By inserting the plug 51 into the inside of the clamping assembly 53, the plug 51 can be fixed in the gap between the mounting base 52 and the clamping assembly 53 under the elastic action of the clamping assembly 53.

[0035] Specifically, the clamping assembly 53 includes a locking block 531, in which a torsion spring 534 is fixedly installed inside the locking block 531 by a fixing block 533, and the other end of the torsion spring 534 is fixedly installed to the mounting rod 532. Since the mounting rod 532 is rotatably installed inside the locking block 531 and passes through the locking block 531 and is fixedly installed to the mounting base 52, when the plug 51 pushes the clamping assembly 53 to rotate, the fixing block 533 and the mounting rod 532 can drive the torsion spring 534 to retract. When the plug 51 enters the interior of the mounting base 52, the clamping assembly 53 can fix the plug 51 inside the mounting base 52 by the reset of the torsion spring 534, thereby enabling quick assembly and disassembly of the optical transceiver body 1 and the front panel body 2.

[0036] See attached document Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 In this embodiment, the locking mechanism 3 includes a knob 31 that is slidably installed inside the positioning cylinder 32. The knob 31 drives the limiting block 34 to move along the guide groove 33.

[0037] In the above embodiment, a spring is fixedly installed at the bottom of the positioning cylinder 32, and the end of the knob 31 can pass through the positioning cylinder 32 and abut against the spring. Therefore, when the optical transceiver body 1 is installed with the front panel body 2, the end of the knob 31 can compress the spring.

[0038] Furthermore, a limiting block 34 is fixedly installed on one side of the guide groove 33, and the guide groove 33 is opened on the surface of the positioning cylinder 32. Therefore, when installing the optical transceiver body 1 and the front panel body 2, the limiting block 34 can move along the guide groove 33, causing the knob 31 to compress the spring and rotate. Through the reaction force of the spring, the limiting block 34 is engaged with the end of the guide groove 33.

[0039] It should be noted that since the positioning cylinder 32 is fixedly installed inside the mounting hole 6, the optical transceiver body 1 and the front panel body 2 can be locked by the limit block 34 engaging with the end of the guide groove 33. At the same time, the quick release mechanism 5 is locked, which can prevent the optical transceiver body 1 and the front panel body 2 from becoming loose and falling off.

[0040] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: By aligning the plug 51 and knob 31 on the back of the front panel body 2 with the mounting groove 4 and mounting hole 6 respectively, the plug 51 is inserted into the interior of the front panel body 2. When the plug 51 is inserted, the protruding edge of the plug 51 can push the clamping component 53 to cause the torsion spring 534 to retract. When the clamping component 53 enters the interior of the mounting base 52, the reaction force of the torsion spring 534 can make the clamping component 53 cooperate with the mounting base 52 to lock and fix the plug 51. At this time, the knob 31 drives the limiting block 34 to move along the trajectory of the guide groove 33. During the movement, the end of the knob 31 compresses the spring inside the positioning cylinder 32. When the limiting block 34 moves to the end of the guide groove 33, the reaction force of the spring inside the positioning cylinder 32 causes the limiting block 34 to engage with the guide groove 33, thereby locking the optical transceiver body 1, the front panel body 2, and the quick-release mechanism 5. When disassembly is required, simply turn the knob 31 to allow the limiting block 34 to enter the interior of the guide groove 33, and pull the front panel body 2 outward to allow the plug 51 to be pulled out from between the mounting base 52 and the clamping assembly 53. The limiting block 34 then moves along the trajectory of the guide groove 33 away from the interior of the positioning cylinder 32, thus completing the convenient disassembly of the optical transceiver body 1 and the front panel body 2.

[0041] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented using conventional methods in the field.
