Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of communication module technology, and in particular to an optical fiber socket box and a communication module. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, the common method for mounting communication terminal equipment on a wall involves directly aligning the raised structure on the fiber optic socket box with the mounting holes on the back of the terminal equipment for suspension. However, the spacing and specifications of the mounting holes on the back of different communication terminal equipment models vary, while the raised structures on existing fiber optic socket boxes mostly use a fixed spacing design, limiting their variety. This means that in actual installation, it is often necessary to remove the installed raised structure on-site according to the spacing between the mounting holes of the communication equipment. Both removal and reinstallation are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and removal can easily damage the raised structure. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of this application is to propose a fiber optic socket box and communication module, which aims to at least solve the problem in the related technology that fiber optic socket boxes are difficult to be compatible with terminal equipment with different hole pitches, resulting in a cumbersome installation process and easy structural damage.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this application proposes a fiber optic socket box, which includes:

[0005] The housing includes a mounting surface for mounting communication equipment; and

[0006] At least two mounting pieces are mounted on the mounting surface, each mounting piece including a mounting portion whose size is configured to not exceed at least a portion of the size of the mounting hole of the communication device when the fiber optic socket box is installed with the communication device, so as to engage with the mounting hole of the communication device.

[0007] The at least two mounting members include at least one movable mounting member, which is movably and adjustably connected to the mounting surface to change the distance between the movable mounting member and another mounting member among the at least two mounting members.

[0008] This application also proposes a communication module, which includes:

[0009] The aforementioned fiber optic socket box; and

[0010] The communication equipment has at least two mounting holes;

[0011] The communication device is mounted on the mounting surface by engaging with at least two mounting parts on the fiber optic socket box through at least two mounting holes.

[0012] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, at least two mounting members are provided on the mounting surface, and one of the at least two mounting members is a movable mounting member. By moving the movable mounting member on the mounting surface, the distance between the movable mounting member and the other mounting member can be adjusted according to the hole spacing of multiple mounting holes on different communication devices. Thus, the method of adjusting the distance between the movable mounting member and the other mounting member in the fiber optic socket box is simple, so as to be able to adapt to various specifications and models of terminal devices. This solves the problem in the related technology that the fiber optic socket box is difficult to be compatible with terminal devices with different hole spacings, resulting in a cumbersome installation process and easy structural damage.

[0027] In related technologies, the common method for mounting communication terminal equipment on a wall involves directly aligning the raised structure on the fiber optic socket box with the mounting holes on the back of the terminal device for wall mounting. However, due to the varying spacing and specifications of the mounting holes on the back of different communication terminal devices, and the fact that most existing fiber optic socket boxes use a fixed-spacing design with limited variety, a mismatch often occurs between the raised structure on the fiber optic socket box and the mounting hole spacing on the terminal device during actual installation. This makes it difficult for the fiber optic socket box to accommodate a wide range of terminal devices.

[0028] In view of this, this application proposes a fiber optic socket box. Figures 1 to 7 These are some embodiments of this application.

[0029] This fiber optic socket box is suitable for various fiber optic cabling scenarios, including Fiber To The Home (FTTH), Fiber To The Machine (FTTM), Fiber To The Desk (FTTD), Fiber To The Room (FTTR), and Fiber To The Room-Business (FTTR-B).

[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments of this application, the fiber optic socket box 100 includes a housing 1 and at least two mounting members 2. The housing 1 includes a mounting surface 1A for mounting a communication device 200. The at least two mounting members 2 are mounted on the mounting surface 1A. Each mounting member 2 includes a mounting portion 21. The size of the mounting portion 21 is configured such that when the fiber optic socket box 100 is installed with the communication device 200, it is not larger than at least a portion of the size of the mounting hole 8 of the communication device 200, so as to engage with the mounting hole 8 of the communication device 200.

[0031] At least part of the mounting hole 8 of the communication equipment 200 refers to the portion of the hole into which the mounting part 21 can pass when the fiber optic socket box 100 is installed with the communication equipment 200.

[0032] It should be noted that there are no restrictions on the relationship between the size of the mounting part 21 on the fiber optic socket box 100 and the size of the mounting hole 8 on the communication equipment 200. It is only necessary to ensure that at least a part of the mounting part 21 can be inserted into the mounting hole 8 and snapped into place when the fiber optic socket box 100 and the communication equipment 200 are installed.

[0033] When the mounting hole 8 is a standard geometric hole type, such as a circular hole or a rectangular hole, the size of the mounting part 21 should not be greater than the minimum size of the mounting hole 8, such as the diameter of the circular hole or the length of the short side of the rectangular hole, so as to ensure that the mounting part 21 can pass smoothly through the mounting hole 8 and engage with the mounting hole 8.

[0034] When the mounting hole 8 is a non-standard hole type, such as a gourd hole or a triangular hole, the size of the mounting part 21 is not greater than the effective size of any local area in the mounting hole 8 that can accommodate its insertion, thereby ensuring that the mounting part 21 can pass smoothly through the mounting hole 8 and engage with the mounting hole 8.

[0035] For example, taking the mounting hole 8 as an example, the mounting hole 8 includes a first hole and a second hole that are interconnected. The size of the first hole is larger than the size of the second hole. Therefore, when the fiber optic socket box 100 and the communication device 200 are installed, the size of the mounting part 21 should not be larger than the size of the first hole, but larger than the size of the second hole, so that the mounting part 21 can pass into the first hole and engage with the communication device 200 at the second hole.

[0036] Based on the structural configuration of the mounting hole 8 as a gourd hole, the mounting part 21 includes at least the following two structural configurations.

[0037] In one embodiment, the mounting part 21 is a rigid structure, meaning that the mounting part 21 cannot undergo elastic deformation. Taking the mounting hole of the gourd hole as an example, the size of the mounting part 21 is not greater than the size of the first hole in the mounting hole 8, but greater than the size of the second hole in the mounting hole 8. Thus, after the mounting part 21 passes through the first hole and slides into the second hole, it can be snapped and fixed with the communication device 200. Alternatively, the mounting part 21 can be set as an irregular structure, so that it can pass through the mounting hole 8 when it is at a first angle to the communication device 200, and can snap with the mounting hole 8 when it is at a second angle to the communication device 200.

[0038] In another embodiment, the mounting portion 21 is capable of elastic deformation, meaning that at least a portion of the mounting portion 21 is an elastic structure. Taking the aforementioned gourd-shaped mounting hole as an example, when the mounting portion 21 is not subjected to external force, its normal size is greater than or equal to the size of the first hole in the mounting hole 8. When the communication device 200 is assembled with the fiber optic socket box 100, the mounting portion 21 deforms and contracts to extend into the first hole of the mounting hole 8, and then returns to its normal state in the cavity behind the first hole, sliding into the second hole and engaging with the mounting hole 8. Of course, the size of the mounting portion 21 can also be smaller than the size of the first hole in the mounting hole 8 when not subjected to external force, ensuring that the size of the mounting portion 21 is greater than the size of the second hole in the mounting hole 8.

[0039] Furthermore, when the mounting part 21 is capable of elastic deformation, when the mounting part 21 is applied to the mounting hole 8 which is provided with a standard geometric hole shape, such as a circular hole or a rectangular hole, the size of the mounting part 21 in its normal state can be greater than or equal to the size of the mounting hole 8 when the mounting part 21 is not subjected to external force. When the communication equipment 200 is assembled with the fiber optic socket box 100, the mounting part 21 deforms and contracts so that it can extend into the mounting hole 8 and return to its normal state in the cavity behind the mounting hole 8 and engage with the mounting hole 8.

[0040] Among them, the at least two mounting members 2 include at least one movable mounting member 2A, which is movably and adjustably connected to the mounting surface 1A to change the distance between the movable mounting member 2A and the other mounting member 2 among the at least two mounting members 2.

[0041] In accordance with the above description, in the technical solution of this application embodiment, at least two mounting members 2 are provided on the mounting surface 1A, and one of the at least two mounting members 2 is a movable mounting member 2A. By moving the movable mounting member 2A on the mounting surface 1A, the distance between the movable mounting member 2A and the other mounting member 2 can be adjusted according to the hole spacing of the multiple mounting holes 8 on different communication devices 200. Thus, the method of adjusting the distance between the movable mounting member 2A and the other mounting member 2 in the fiber optic socket box 100 is simple, so as to be able to adapt to various specifications and models of terminal devices. This solves the problem in the related technology that the fiber optic socket box is difficult to be compatible with terminal devices with different hole spacings, resulting in a cumbersome installation process and easy structural damage.

[0042] The fiber optic socket box 100 includes two mounting members 2, and the communication device 200 has two mounting holes 8. Since one of the mounting members 2 is a movable mounting member 2A, the spacing between the two mounting members 2 of the fiber optic socket box 100 is adjustable to match the hole spacing between the two mounting holes 8 in the communication device 200. Based on this, this application does not limit the assembly method between the other mounting member 2 and the housing 1.

[0043] In one embodiment, the other of the two mounting members 2 is fixedly disposed on the mounting surface 1A of the housing 1. The other mounting member 2 may be integrally formed with the housing 1 or assembled and fixed thereto.

[0044] In another embodiment, the other of the two mounting members 2 is also movably and adjustably connected to the mounting surface 1A of the housing 1.

[0045] It should be further noted that the number of mounting components 2 included in the fiber optic socket box 100 is not limited; it can be two or more, as long as the number of mounting components 2 matches the number of mounting holes 8 on the communication device 200, so that the communication device 200 is securely installed in the fiber optic socket box 100. If the communication device 200 has three mounting holes 8, then the fiber optic socket box 100 includes three mounting components 2, and two of the three mounting components 2 are movable mounting components 2A, so that the fiber optic socket box 100 can be used to install the communication device 200.

[0046] Furthermore, this application does not restrict the mode of operation of the active mounting component 2A.

[0047] In one embodiment, a groove 3 is provided on the mounting surface 1A, and the movable mounting member 2A is slidably disposed in the groove 3 to realize the movable adjustment of the movable mounting member 2A on the mounting surface 1A.

[0048] In some embodiments of this application, the housing 1 further includes an assembly surface 1B, which is used to mount the fiber optic socket box 100 onto a surface to be installed, such as a wall.

[0049] In this embodiment, the assembly surface 1B and the mounting surface 1A are arranged opposite each other in a third direction. In some embodiments, the third direction is the thickness direction of the fiber optic socket box 100. By setting the mounting surface 1A on the side opposite to the assembly surface 1B, a larger mounting reference surface can be provided for the installation of the communication equipment 200, ensuring that the communication equipment 200 can be firmly installed on the fiber optic socket box 100 and facilitating the assembly between the two.

[0050] In some embodiments of this application, at least one groove 3 is provided on the mounting surface 1A, and the mounting part 21 of the movable mounting member 2A has a mounting end 211. The mounting end 211 is located outside the groove 3 and is engaged with the mounting hole 8 of the communication device 200. This arrangement ensures that the mounting end 211 can be aligned and engaged with the mounting hole 8 on the communication device 200 without obstruction.

[0051] In some embodiments of this application, the movable mounting component 2A further includes a sliding part 22 disposed in the slide groove 3. The sliding part 22 is connected to the mounting part 21. In this embodiment, the cooperation between the sliding part 22 and the slide groove 3 ensures that the movable mounting component 2A moves smoothly and the adjustment direction is accurate during the adjustment process, avoiding the offset or jamming of the movable mounting component 2A during the adjustment process.

[0052] It should be further noted that, in this embodiment, although the movable mounting part 2A can slide freely along the slide groove 3, its direction of movement is limited by the extension direction of the slide groove 3. When the direction of gravity of the communication device 200 after it is mounted intersects with the extension direction of the slide groove 3, the movable mounting part 2A will not slide along the slide groove 3 under the action of the gravity of the communication device 200, but will be pressed against the side wall of the slide groove 3, thereby maintaining a fixed position and ensuring the reliability of the snap-fit.

[0053] In some embodiments of this application, the sliding part 22 is capable of elastic deformation to switch between a locked state and an unlocked state. When the sliding part 22 is in the locked state, the sliding part 22 elastically abuts against the groove wall of the slide groove 3 to limit itself to the slide groove 3. When the sliding part 22 is in the unlocked state, at least part of the sliding part 22 releases its elastic abutment against the groove wall of the slide groove 3 so that it can slide along the slide groove 3.

[0054] In the above embodiment, by providing a sliding part 22 capable of elastic deformation on the movable mounting part 2A, and having a locking and unlocking switching function within the slide groove 3, the installer only needs to apply force to the mounting part 21 to deform the sliding part 22 and disengage it from the groove wall of the slide groove 3 when adjusting the installation distance, allowing the movable mounting part 2A to slide freely along the slide groove 3. After releasing the force, the sliding part 22 automatically and elastically resets and presses against the groove wall of the slide groove 3 to achieve self-locking. This design not only achieves stepless adjustment of the distance between the movable mounting part 2A and another mounting part 2, enabling the fiber optic socket box 100 to be compatible with various communication devices 200, but also ensures the installation stability of the movable mounting part 2A on the housing 1 after adjustment. This allows the operator to complete the assembly of the communication device 200 and the fiber optic socket box 100 without holding the movable mounting part 2A, improving assembly convenience.

[0055] Of course, the specific positional relationship between the mounting part 21 and the slide 3 is not limited. In one embodiment, the mounting part 21 is completely outside the slide 3 and is fixedly connected to the sliding part 22 by another structural member; in another embodiment, a portion of the mounting part 21 extends into the slide 3 and is directly fixedly connected to the sliding part 22.

[0056] Furthermore, this application does not limit the specific method by which the sliding part 22 achieves elastic deformation. For example, the sliding part 22 can be integrally formed from an elastic material; it can also be constructed by combining a rigid material with an elastic element, such as achieving elastic sliding by using a spring in conjunction with a mounting base.

[0057] Please see Figure 4The sliding part 22 is arc-shaped and made of elastic material; wherein, the sliding part 22 has a first end 22A and a second end 22B disposed opposite to each other in the length direction, and an abutment surface 22C connecting the first end 22A and the second end 22B.

[0058] Based on this structural configuration, when the sliding part 22 is in the locked state, the side of the first end 22A and the second end 22B that are far apart from each other can abut against the groove wall of the slide groove 3. Alternatively, a part of the abutting surface 22C and the lower edges of the first end 22A and the second end 22B can abut against the groove wall of the slide groove 3 together, so as to restrict the movement of the sliding part 22 within the slide groove 3.

[0059] Furthermore, the sliding part 22 can switch between a locked state and an unlocked state through the friction between it and the groove wall of the slide 3. When the sliding part 22 is not subjected to external force, it maintains static friction with the groove wall of the slide 3. This static friction is sufficient to prevent the sliding part 22 from moving relative to the slide 3, thereby keeping the movable mounting part 2A in a locked state. When the sliding part 22 is subjected to an external force greater than this static friction, the sliding part 22 can overcome the friction and slide relative to the slide 3, thereby switching to an unlocked state to facilitate adjustment of the installation spacing.

[0060] In some embodiments of this application, the mounting part 21 is located outside the slide groove 3, and the movable mounting member 2A further includes a connecting part 23, which connects the sliding part 22 and the mounting part 21; that is, in this embodiment, the mounting part 21 is completely located outside the slide groove 3 and is connected to the sliding part 22 through the connecting part 23.

[0061] The connecting part 23 is smaller than the mounting part 21 so that the connecting part 23 will not interfere with the assembly between the mounting part 21 and the mounting hole 8.

[0062] In some embodiments of this application, a mounting structure 4 is provided on the mounting surface 1A. The mounting structure 4 includes two opposing side plates 41 and at least one baffle 42. A sliding groove 3 is formed between the two side plates 41. The baffle 42 is disposed on either side plate 41 and is located near the opening of the sliding groove 3 to restrict the sliding part 22 from disengaging from the opening of the sliding groove 3. A communicating hole 5 is formed on the mounting structure 4, which communicates with the sliding groove 3. The communicating hole 5 extends along the extending direction of the sliding groove 3. The connecting part 23 passes through the communicating hole 5 so that one end of it is connected to the sliding part 22 inside the sliding groove 3, and the other end is connected to the mounting part 21 outside the sliding groove 3.

[0063] In the above embodiment, by providing a groove 3 composed of two opposing side plates 41 on the mounting surface 1A, and using a baffle 42 near the groove opening of the groove 3 to limit the sliding part 22, the sliding part 22 is effectively prevented from coming out of the groove 3, ensuring the reliability of the connection between the movable mounting part 2A and the housing 1. At the same time, a connecting hole 5 extending along the extension direction of the groove 3 is provided on the mounting structure 4, so that the connecting part 23 can pass through the hole to stably connect the sliding part 22 in the groove 3 with the mounting part 21 outside the groove 3. This design not only ensures the sliding of the sliding part 22 in the groove 3, but also realizes the independent setting of the mounting part 21 outside the groove 3, avoiding interference between the mounting part 21 and the groove 3, and enabling it to more flexibly align and engage with the mounting hole 8 of the communication device 200. This improves the structural stability and assembly smoothness of the fiber optic socket box 100, while enhancing the adaptability of the fiber optic socket box 100 to different models of communication devices 200.

[0064] The following is an illustrative example: Taking the slide 3 extending along a first direction as an example, two side plates 41 are arranged opposite each other in a second direction to enclose and form the accommodating space of the slide 3; at the same time, a baffle 42 is arranged adjacent to the opening of the slide 3 to limit the sliding part 22 in a third direction to prevent it from coming out of the opening. Accordingly, when the extension path of the slide 3 includes multiple directions, the side plates 41 and the baffle 42 also extend along the corresponding directions of the path to ensure that the slide 3 has complete guiding and limiting functions in each slide segment.

[0065] Furthermore, this application does not limit the specific location of the connecting hole 5 on the mounting structure 4. The following is an illustrative example illustrating the arrangement of the baffle 42:

[0066] In one embodiment, the mounting structure 4 includes a baffle 42. The baffle 42 is connected to one of the two side plates 41 and has a gap between it and the other side plate 41, which defines the connecting hole 5.

[0067] like Figure 3 As shown, in another embodiment, the mounting structure 4 includes two baffles 42. The two baffles 42 are respectively connected to the two side plates 41 in a one-to-one correspondence, and a gap is formed between the two baffles 42, which defines the connecting hole 5. Based on this structure, to further enhance the overall stability of the mounting structure 4, portions of the two baffles 42 can also be interconnected.

[0068] In some embodiments of this application, the other of the at least two mounting members 2 is a fixed mounting member. The fixed mounting member is fixedly disposed on the extension line of the extension direction of the slide groove 3. The movable mounting member 2A slides along the slide groove 3 to change the distance between the movable mounting member 2A and the fixed mounting member. In this embodiment, by disposing the fixed mounting member on the extension line of the slide groove 3, the adjustment path of the movable mounting member 2A is always aligned with the fixed mounting member. This ensures that the distance between the movable mounting member 2A and the fixed mounting member can continuously and quickly respond to the adjustment operation during the sliding process, thereby achieving precise adaptation of the communication device 200 with different hole spacings of the mounting holes 8 and improving the convenience of the installation operation.

[0069] In some embodiments of this application, the other of the at least two mounting members 2 is a movable mounting member 2A; the two movable mounting members 2A are disposed in the same slide groove 3, and each movable mounting member 2A can slide along the slide groove 3 to adjust the distance between the two movable mounting members 2A so that the distance between the two movable mounting members 2A matches the distance between two mounting holes 8 on the communication device 200; in this embodiment, by setting both mounting members 2 as movable mounting members 2A that can slide in the same slide groove 3, the distance between them can be freely adjusted bidirectionally according to the position of any two mounting holes 8 on the communication device 200; this design not only further improves the compatibility of the fiber optic socket box 100 with communication devices 200 having different mounting hole 8 spacing specifications, but also ensures that both mounting members 2 can be aligned and engaged with the mounting holes 8 on the communication device 200 respectively.

[0070] Understandably, since the positions of the two movable mounting parts 2A on the housing 1 are adjustable, the user can center the communication device 200 on the fiber optic socket box 100.

[0071] Please see Figure 5In some embodiments of this application, the slide 3 includes at least one first slide segment 31 and at least one second slide segment 32 that are interconnected. The first slide segment 31 extends along a first direction, and the second slide segment 32 extends along a second direction that intersects with the first direction. Both movable mounting members 2A can slide along the first slide segment 31 and the second slide segment 32. In this embodiment, by setting the slide 3 as an interconnected first slide segment 31 and a second slide segment 32 that intersect in their extension directions, the two movable mounting members 2A can slide in the slide 3 in different directions. This design enables multi-directional position adjustment of the two movable mounting members 2A in the plane, allowing the two movable mounting members 2A to flexibly adapt to various layouts of the mounting holes 8 on the communication device 200, such as horizontal, vertical, and even diagonal, thereby improving the compatibility of the fiber optic socket box 100 with communication devices 200 of different models and different hole layouts of mounting holes 8.

[0072] The two movable mounting parts 2A can be moved into the first slide section 31 or the second slide section 32 as needed to achieve installation adaptation with the communication device 200 at different locations.

[0073] The first slide segment 31 and the second slide segment 32 can be interconnected to form various geometric configurations such as L-shape, cross shape, or X-shape. When multiple first slide segments 31 and multiple second slide segments 32 are provided, they can also form slide structures such as the square shape.

[0074] For example, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 Multiple first slide sections 31 and second slide sections 32 are provided to form a U-shaped slide structure. This slide structure has two second slide sections 32 arranged opposite each other in a first direction. When the two movable mounting members 2A move into one of the second slide sections 32, and the first direction is the direction of gravity, the portion of the mounting structure 4 constituting the other second slide section 32 can provide load-bearing support for the communication device 200 in the direction of gravity, thereby effectively preventing the communication device 200 from tilting relative to the fiber optic socket box 100 under the action of gravity.

[0075] Please refer to it again. Figure 3In some embodiments of this application, the other of the at least two mounting members 2 is a movable mounting member 2A; the number of the sliding grooves 3 is set to at least two, both of the sliding grooves 3 extend along the same extension direction and are arranged on the same straight path, and the two movable mounting members 2A are respectively arranged in the two sliding grooves 3 and can slide along the corresponding sliding grooves 3; in this embodiment, by setting at least two sliding grooves 3 that extend along the same extension direction and are arranged on the same straight path, and by setting the two movable mounting members 2A in different sliding grooves 3, each movable mounting member 2A can slide independently along the corresponding sliding groove 3; this design not only realizes the flexible adjustment of the distance between the two movable mounting members 2A to adapt to communication devices 200 with different hole spacings, but also avoids mutual motion interference by separating the two movable mounting members 2A in independent sliding grooves 3, ensuring that each movable mounting member 2A can remain stable when sliding and locking.

[0076] Please see Figures 6 to 7 In some embodiments of this application, at least one support protrusion 6 is further provided on the mounting surface 1A to support the communication device 200. In this embodiment, by providing at least one support protrusion 6 on the mounting surface 1A, the support protrusion 6 can provide an additional stable support plane for the communication device 200 during installation, so that the communication device 200 has multiple support points when installed on the fiber optic socket box 100, ensuring the reliability of the installation.

[0077] Based on the embodiment where the groove 3 is formed by the mounting structure 4, one of the support points of the communication device 200 when it is installed on the fiber optic socket box 100 is the mounting structure 4, and the other support point is the support protrusion 6.

[0078] The supporting protrusion 6 protrudes beyond the mounting surface 1A by a dimension greater than or equal to the dimension of the mounting structure 4 protruding beyond the mounting surface 1A, so that the supporting protrusion 6 can provide stable support for the communication device 200. Since part of the structure of the mounting member 2 needs to extend into the mounting hole 8 of the communication device 200, the installation gap between the communication device 200 and the fiber optic socket box 100 is determined by the protrusion dimension of the mounting structure 4. To ensure that the supporting protrusion 6 can provide effective support in other areas of the mounting surface 1A and to prevent stress concentration at the mounting hole 8 due to gravity, the protrusion dimension of the supporting protrusion 6 is set to be greater than or equal to the protrusion dimension of the mounting structure 4.

[0079] Furthermore, this application does not limit the relative position between the supporting protrusion 6 and the mounting structure 4. Examples of different mounting methods are now provided:

[0080] In one embodiment, the support protrusion 6 is located on one side of the mounting structure 4 in the second direction. When the fiber optic socket box 100 is wall-mounted and the communication equipment 200 is suspended on the fiber optic socket box 100, and the second direction is the direction of gravity, the support protrusion 6 is located below the mounting structure 4 to ensure stable and reliable support for the communication equipment 200.

[0081] In another embodiment, when the fiber optic socket box 100 is placed horizontally and the communication device 200 is installed horizontally on it, the support protrusion 6 only needs to avoid the area where the extension direction of the slide groove 3 is located, that is, it is offset from the extension line of the slide groove 3, so as to provide stable support for the communication device 200 at different positions, thereby ensuring a stable and reliable support for the communication device 200.

[0082] It should be further noted that this application does not limit the specific structural form of the supporting protrusion 6. The supporting protrusion 6 can be arranged in various geometric forms according to actual design needs. For example, the supporting protrusion 6 can be set as a strip structure extending along a predetermined direction, or as a block structure with a specific area, or composed of multiple spaced protrusions or protrusion blocks.

[0083] In some embodiments of this application, at least one end of the slide groove 3 is open to allow the sliding part 22 to be inserted. In this embodiment, by setting at least one end of the slide groove 3 as an open structure, the sliding part 22 can be easily inserted into the slide groove 3 from the end of the slide groove 3, thereby simplifying the assembly process between the movable mounting part 2A and the housing 1 and improving production efficiency. At the same time, the open design also facilitates the disassembly or replacement of the movable mounting part 2A during subsequent maintenance without damaging the overall structure of the fiber optic socket box 100.

[0084] In some embodiments of this application, a stop 9 is provided on the mounting surface 1A. The stop 9 is used to restrict the movable mounting member 2A from disengaging from the slide groove 3. The distance between the stop 9 and the opening of the slide groove 3 is smaller than the size of the sliding part 22 of the movable mounting member 2A. Since the sliding part 22 can undergo elastic deformation, it can be forced into the space between the stop 9 and the opening of the slide groove 3 by external force, and then slide into the slide groove 3.

[0085] In another embodiment, the stop portion 9 itself can also undergo elastic deformation. In this structure, the stop portion 9 can naturally restrict the sliding portion 22 from disengaging from the groove 3 when no external force is applied. During installation, only an external force needs to be applied to deform the stop portion 9 to insert or remove the sliding portion 22.

[0086] In some embodiments of this application, in the extending direction of the slide groove 3, a plurality of marking portions 7 are provided at intervals on the mounting surface 1A. The marking portions 7 mark the position of the movable mounting member 2A on the slide groove 3, so that the operator can directly adjust the movable mounting member 2A to the corresponding scale position according to the hole distance between the two mounting holes 8 on the communication device 200. This makes the distance between the movable mounting member 2A and the other mounting member 2 accurately match the hole distance of the mounting holes 8, so that the distance between the movable mounting member 2A and the other mounting member 2 can be adjusted to match the hole distance of the mounting holes 8 of the communication device without repeated measurement or trial installation.

[0087] In some embodiments of this application, the mounting member 2 further includes a connecting portion 23, to which the mounting portion 21 is connected, and at least a portion of the mounting portion 21 laterally protrudes from the connecting portion 23; thus, the size of the connecting portion 23 is smaller than that of the mounting portion 21, so as to avoid the connecting portion 23 interfering with the assembly of the mounting portion 21 with the mounting hole 8.

[0088] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, in the extending direction of the connecting part 23, the mounting part 21 is disposed at one end of the connecting part 23, and the entire mounting part 21 protrudes laterally from the connecting part, that is, the orthographic projection of the connecting part 23 in its extending direction falls completely within the mounting part 21.

[0089] Based on this structural feature, the assembly process of the movable mounting part 2A and the mounting hole 8, which is arranged in a gourd shape, is as follows:

[0090] The mounting hole 8 includes a first hole and a second hole that are interconnected, with the first hole being larger than the second hole. During assembly, the mounting part 21 is first inserted into the first hole, extending into the cavity behind the mounting hole 8, at which point the connecting part 23 is located within the first hole. Subsequently, the movable mounting member 2A is slidably moved relative to the mounting hole 8 until the connecting part 23 enters the second hole. Because the connecting part 23 is smaller than the second hole, while the mounting part 21 is larger, the movable mounting member 2A engages with the mounting hole 8.

[0091] It should be further noted that in the above embodiments, the mounting component 2 is divided into two types: a fixed mounting component and a movable mounting component 2A. However, whether it is a fixed mounting component or a movable mounting component 2A, the mounting component 2 includes a connecting portion 23, and both the connecting portion 23 and the mounting portion 21 retain the structural feature that at least part of the mounting portion 21 protrudes laterally from the connecting portion 23.

[0092] This application also proposes a communication module 1000, which includes an optical fiber socket box 100 and a communication device 200. The communication device 200 is provided with at least two mounting holes 8. The communication device 200 is engaged with at least two mounting members 2 on the optical fiber socket box 100 through the at least two mounting holes 8 to be installed on the mounting surface 1A. As described above, the optical fiber socket box 100 is an example of the communication module 1000. Since the communication module 1000 adopts all the technical solutions of the above embodiments, it has at least the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, and will not be described in detail here.

[0093] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
