Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of branching device technology, and in particular to a branching device suitable for outdoor jumpers. Background Technology

[0002] A cable splitter is a connector used for cable branching and splicing. Most cable splitters on the market are cylindrical and feature an integrated design.

[0003] A search revealed that utility model patent CN214252655U discloses a branching device suitable for outdoor jumpers, including a first strip and a second strip that matches the first strip, with the first strip and the second strip being detachably connected; the first strip has a hollow structure and is divided into a first connecting section, a transition section and a second connecting section connected in sequence.

[0004] When fixing the optical fiber, the aforementioned splitter relies on the annular flanges distributed on the inner sides of the two strips. However, during actual assembly, the optical fiber can only be placed inside the annular flange of one strip first, and then the strip on the other side is fastened together. During this process, since there is no structure to limit the optical fiber inside the annular flange, the optical fiber is prone to move between the connecting surfaces of the two strips during the fastening process, thus causing obstruction and affecting the normal fastening of the two strips. Forcibly fastening them together may also damage the optical fiber.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a brancher suitable for outdoor jumpers to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a brancher suitable for outdoor patch cords. By using a rotating arc-shaped limiting plate in conjunction with an arc-shaped housing to limit the optical fiber, it effectively prevents the optical fiber from entering between the connecting surfaces of the two arc-shaped housings during the closing process, thus avoiding obstruction. This reduces the difficulty of closing the arc-shaped housings and prevents the optical fiber from being damaged by compression. This addresses the problem mentioned in the background art, where during actual assembly, the optical fiber can only be placed inside the annular flange of one strip before the other strip is fastened. However, due to the lack of a limiting structure inside the annular flange, the optical fiber easily moves between the connecting surfaces of the two strips during the fastening process, causing obstruction and affecting the normal fastening of the two strips. Forcibly fastening also carries the risk of damaging the optical fiber.

[0007] According to one aspect of this disclosure, the following technical solution is provided: a brancher suitable for outdoor jumpers, comprising:

[0008] Two sets of symmetrically arranged housing assemblies are used to be fitted onto the outside of the optical fiber after being closed;

[0009] A connecting mechanism for connecting two sets of housing assemblies; and

[0010] Two sets of fiber optic limiting mechanisms are located at both ends of the inner side of the arc-shaped shell. Each set of fiber optic limiting mechanisms includes an arc-shaped limiting plate, an arc-shaped limiting ring, an arc-shaped limiting groove, and a clearance groove.

[0011] The arc-shaped limiting ring has an opening on its side and is fixedly mounted on the outside of the arc-shaped limiting plate. The arc-shaped limiting groove is opened on the inside of one of the arc-shaped housings, and the clearance groove is opened on the inside of the other arc-shaped housing.

[0012] According to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, a branch connector suitable for outdoor jumpers includes a housing assembly comprising an arc-shaped housing and annular flanges, wherein a plurality of annular flanges are provided and the plurality of annular flanges are uniformly fixedly disposed on the inner side of the arc-shaped housing, and the arc-shaped housing and the plurality of annular flanges are integrally formed.

[0013] According to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, a branch device suitable for outdoor jumpers includes a connecting mechanism comprising protruding posts and blind holes, wherein multiple protruding posts and blind holes are provided, the multiple protruding posts are uniformly fixedly disposed on one connecting surface of an arc-shaped housing, and the multiple blind holes are uniformly opened on another connecting surface of the arc-shaped housing.

[0014] According to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, in an outdoor jumper branch, the arc-shaped limiting ring is slidably disposed inside the arc-shaped limiting groove, and both the arc-shaped limiting ring and the arc-shaped limiting groove have a T-shaped cross-section.

[0015] According to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, a branch device suitable for outdoor jumpers is provided, wherein the arc-shaped limiting plate and the arc-shaped limiting ring are integrally formed and are made of plastic.

[0016] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] This invention features an optical fiber limiting mechanism that allows the optical fiber to slide into the inner side of an arc-shaped limiting plate through an opening. The arc-shaped limiting plate is then rotated, causing it to slide along an arc-shaped limiting ring within an arc-shaped limiting groove until the opening of the limiting plate faces the inner wall of the arc-shaped housing. At this point, the optical fiber is limited by the limiting plate, and its entire structure is located inside the arc-shaped housing. Finally, the two housing components are joined together by a connecting mechanism. At this point, parts of the arc-shaped limiting plate and the arc-shaped limiting ring are located inside the clearance groove. Compared to existing similar products, this invention, through the rotation of the arc-shaped limiting plate in conjunction with the arc-shaped housing to limit the optical fiber, effectively prevents the optical fiber from entering between the connecting surfaces of the two arc-shaped housings during the joining process due to a lack of limiting, thus reducing the difficulty of joining the arc-shaped housings and preventing damage to the optical fiber due to compression.

[0026] For descriptive purposes, this disclosure may use spatial relative terms such as “below,” “under,” “below,” “down,” “above,” “above,” “higher,” and “side (e.g., in a “sidewall”)” to describe the relationship between one component and another component as shown in the accompanying drawings. In addition to the orientations depicted in the drawings, the spatial relative terms are also intended to encompass different orientations of the device during use, operation, and / or manufacture. For example, if the device in the drawings is flipped, a component described as “below” or “under” other components or features would subsequently be positioned “above” said other components or features. Thus, the exemplary term “below” can encompass both “above” and “below” orientations. Furthermore, the device may be otherwise positioned (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), thus interpreting the spatial relative descriptive terms used herein accordingly.

[0027] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of a branch device suitable for outdoor jumpers according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0028] Figure 2 This is a partial structural diagram of a splitter housing assembly 1, a connecting mechanism 2, and a fiber optic limiting mechanism 3 suitable for outdoor jumpers according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0029] Figure 3 This is a partial structural schematic diagram of a fiber optic limiting mechanism 3 for an outdoor patch cord brancher according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0030] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the splitter for outdoor patch cords disclosed herein may include components such as a housing assembly 1, a connection mechanism 2, and a fiber optic limiting mechanism 3.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown in this disclosure, the housing assembly 1 includes an arc-shaped housing 11 and annular flanges 12, wherein multiple annular flanges 12 are provided, and the multiple annular flanges 12 are uniformly fixedly disposed on the inner side of the arc-shaped housing 11, and the arc-shaped housing 11 and the multiple annular flanges 12 are integrally formed.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the connecting mechanism 2 includes protruding posts 21 and blind holes 22, wherein multiple protruding posts 21 and blind holes 22 are provided, the multiple protruding posts 21 are uniformly fixedly disposed on one connecting surface of the arc-shaped housing 11, and the multiple blind holes 22 are uniformly opened on another connecting surface of the arc-shaped housing 11.

[0033] Thus, when connecting the two arc-shaped shells 11, multiple protrusions 21 on one arc-shaped shell 11 can enter multiple blind holes 22 on the other arc-shaped shell 11, so that the multiple blind holes 22 on one arc-shaped shell 11 can accommodate the multiple protrusions 21 on the other arc-shaped shell 11. At this time, due to the friction between adjacent protrusions 21 and blind holes 22, the two arc-shaped shells 11 are connected.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown in this disclosure, the two sets of fiber optic limiting mechanisms 3 are located at the inner ends of the arc-shaped housing 11. Each set of fiber optic limiting mechanisms 3 includes an arc-shaped limiting plate 31, an arc-shaped limiting ring 32, an arc-shaped limiting groove 33, and a clearance groove 34. The arc-shaped limiting ring 32 has an opening on its side and is fixedly disposed on the outside of the arc-shaped limiting plate 31. The arc-shaped limiting plate 31 and the arc-shaped limiting ring 32 are integrally formed and are made of plastic. The arc-shaped limiting groove 33 is opened on the inner side of one of the arc-shaped housings 11. Both the arc-shaped limiting ring 32 and the arc-shaped limiting groove 33 have a T-shaped cross-section. The clearance groove 34 is opened on the inner side of the other arc-shaped housing 11. The arc-shaped limiting ring 32 is slidably disposed on the inner side of the arc-shaped limiting groove 33.

[0035] This allows the optical fiber to slide into the inner side of the arc-shaped limiting plate 31 through the opening. Then, the arc-shaped limiting plate 31 is rotated, causing the arc-shaped limiting ring 32 to slide inside the arc-shaped limiting groove 33 until the opening of the arc-shaped limiting plate 31 faces the inner wall of the arc-shaped housing 11. At this point, the optical fiber is limited by the arc-shaped limiting plate 31, and its entire structure is located inside the arc-shaped housing 11. Finally, the two housing components 1 are closed and connected by the connecting mechanism 2. At this point, part of the arc-shaped limiting plate 31 and the arc-shaped limiting ring 32 are located inside the clearance groove 34. Compared with existing similar products, by using the rotated arc-shaped limiting plate 31 in conjunction with the arc-shaped housing 11 to limit the optical fiber, it can effectively prevent the optical fiber from entering between the connection surfaces of the two arc-shaped housings 11 due to lack of limitation during the closure and connection process, thus reducing the difficulty of closure and connection of the arc-shaped housings 11 and preventing the optical fiber from being damaged by compression.

[0036] It should also be noted that since the arc-shaped limiting plate 31 and the arc-shaped limiting ring 32 are integrally formed and are made of plastic, the arc-shaped limiting plate 31 and the arc-shaped limiting ring 32 have a certain degree of elasticity. Therefore, when assembling the arc-shaped limiting plate 31 and the arc-shaped limiting groove 33, the end of the arc-shaped limiting ring 32 can be inserted into the inner side of the end opening of the arc-shaped limiting groove 33. Then, the arc-shaped limiting plate 31 is rotated, so that the arc-shaped limiting ring 32 gradually enters the inner side of the arc-shaped limiting groove 33. During this process, the arc-shaped limiting plate 31 and the arc-shaped limiting ring 32 will undergo elastic deformation to avoid each other, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty.

[0037] It should also be noted that any content not described in detail in this specification is prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0038] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments are merely for illustrating the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure. Those skilled in the art can make other changes or modifications based on the above disclosure, and these changes or modifications still fall within the scope of the present disclosure.
