Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical cable distribution, and in particular to an optical cable distribution frame. Background Technology

[0002] Optical fiber is a communication medium used for long-distance, high-bandwidth data transmission, consisting of one or more optical fibers. Optical fibers are thin filaments made of glass or plastic that can transmit light signals through total internal reflection, thus enabling high-speed data transmission. Optical fiber cables typically require a patch panel to provide a unified interface, allowing multiple cables to be managed together.

[0003] Currently, fiber optic patch panels on the market dissipate heat to the surrounding environment through natural physical processes such as heat conduction, heat convection, and heat radiation, based on the materials and structural design of the patch panel itself. However, in scenarios with high power density and large-capacity fiber optic cable access, this heat dissipation method cannot dissipate heat in a timely manner, which can easily lead to an increase in the internal temperature of the patch panel, affecting the performance and lifespan of the equipment.

[0004] Therefore, in response to the problem that heat cannot be dissipated in a timely manner in high-power-density, high-capacity optical cable access scenarios, the optical cable distribution frame currently on the market can be designed to solve the above problem by opening reasonable air holes on the distribution frame and combining them with an active heat dissipation mechanism to form an air duct to quickly dissipate the heat inside the distribution frame. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the problem that current fiber optic patch panels rely on natural physical processes such as heat conduction, heat convection, and heat radiation to dissipate heat into the surrounding environment through their own materials and structural design, this heat dissipation method cannot dissipate heat in a timely manner in scenarios with high power density and large capacity fiber optic cable access. This can easily lead to an increase in the internal temperature of the patch panel, affecting the performance and lifespan of the equipment.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: an optical cable distribution frame, including a frame body, a heat dissipation mechanism, a junction box, and a heat dissipation cover; the front end of the frame body is provided with a distribution compartment for distributing optical cables, and the inside of the distribution compartment is provided with a junction box for splicing optical fibers in the optical cable; heat dissipation compartments are provided on both sides of the frame body, and the inside of the heat dissipation compartment is provided with a heat dissipation mechanism for ensuring the normal operating temperature of the distribution frame; a cover plate groove is provided at the outer edge of the heat dissipation compartment, and the inside of the cover plate groove is provided with a heat dissipation cover for protecting the heat dissipation mechanism.

[0007] Preferably, this application combines a junction box, a heat dissipation chamber, and a heat dissipation mechanism, so that during wiring, workers strip a large number of optical cables and connect them through the junction box. After the wiring reaches a certain density, the heat dissipation mechanisms in the two heat dissipation chambers start working. After the two heat dissipation mechanisms start working, they form opposing airflow channels, promote the airflow speed, and thus quickly remove the heat in the wiring chamber.

[0008] Preferably, the wiring compartment is provided with multiple sets of support plates, which are arranged linearly along the interior of the wiring compartment. Wiring troughs are opened between the multiple sets of support plates, and the junction box is located inside the wiring troughs.

[0009] Preferably, sliding rails are installed on both sides of the wiring trough, and sliding sleeves are fitted on both sides of the terminal block. The terminal block slides along the sliding rails via the sliding sleeves, and multiple sets of connection ports are linearly opened at the front end of the terminal block.

[0010] Preferably, multiple sets of perforated airflow holes are evenly opened on both sides of the wiring compartment, and these perforated airflow holes penetrate through both sides of the wiring compartment and connect to the heat dissipation compartment.

[0011] Preferably, the heat dissipation mechanism includes a support frame located inside the heat dissipation chamber. The two ends of the support frame are connected to the bottom and top of the heat dissipation chamber, respectively. A motor is provided in the middle section of the support frame. A rotating shaft is provided at the front end of the motor. Multiple sets of blades are arranged around the outer end of the rotating shaft. A transmission shaft is provided between the rotating shaft and the motor. The rotating shaft and the motor are connected through the transmission shaft.

[0012] Preferably, a battery compartment is provided on the top of the wire frame body, and a battery pack is installed inside the battery compartment. The battery pack is electrically connected to the motor, and a battery cover is provided on the top of the battery compartment.

[0013] Preferably, two sets of mating slots are symmetrically provided at both the upper and lower edges of the cover plate groove, and a primary mounting hole is provided inside the mating slot.

[0014] Preferably, the heat dissipation cover has two sets of corresponding docking blocks with docking slots symmetrically arranged at both the upper and lower edges. The center of the docking block is provided with a secondary mounting hole corresponding to the primary mounting hole. The surface of the heat dissipation cover is provided with a group of airflow interaction holes.

[0015] Preferably, four sets of load-bearing posts are evenly provided at the corners of the clamp body, and the front ends of two sets of load-bearing posts are linearly opened with multiple sets of label slots corresponding to the wiring channels.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This application combines a junction box, a heat dissipation chamber, and a heat dissipation mechanism. During wiring, workers strip a large number of optical cables and connect them through the junction box. After the wiring reaches a certain density, the heat dissipation mechanisms in the two heat dissipation chambers start working. After the two heat dissipation mechanisms work, they form opposing airflow channels, which promote the airflow speed and thus quickly remove the heat in the junction box. In view of the limitations of existing optical cable distribution frames that rely on natural physical processes for heat dissipation, this application solves the heat dissipation problem in high power density and large capacity optical cable access scenarios by introducing an active heat dissipation mechanism, so that the performance and life of the equipment are not affected by high temperature.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-5This utility model provides an embodiment: an optical cable distribution frame, including a frame body 1, a heat dissipation mechanism 5, a junction box 7, and a heat dissipation cover plate 6; the front end of the frame body 1 is provided with a distribution compartment 2 for distributing optical cables, and the inside of the distribution compartment 2 is provided with a junction box 7 for splicing optical fibers in the optical cable; heat dissipation compartments 4 are provided on both sides of the frame body 1, and the inside of the heat dissipation compartment 4 is provided with a heat dissipation mechanism 5 for ensuring the normal operating temperature of the distribution frame; a cover plate groove 15 is provided at the outer edge of the heat dissipation compartment 4, and the inside of the cover plate groove 15 is provided with a heat dissipation cover plate 6 for protecting the heat dissipation mechanism 5.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-3 In this embodiment, preferably, multiple sets of perforated airflow holes 11 are evenly opened on both sides of the wiring compartment 2. The multiple sets of perforated airflow holes 11 penetrate through the two sides of the wiring compartment 2 and communicate with the heat dissipation compartment 4. The heat dissipation mechanism 5 includes a support frame 12, which is located inside the heat dissipation compartment 4. The two ends of the support frame 12 are respectively connected to the bottom and top of the heat dissipation compartment 4. A motor 13 is provided in the middle section of the support frame 12. A rotating shaft is provided at the front end of the motor 13. Multiple sets of blades 14 are arranged around the outer end of the rotating shaft. A transmission shaft is provided between the rotating shaft and the motor 13. The rotating shaft and the motor 13 are connected through the transmission shaft. A battery compartment 18 is opened on the top of the wire frame body 1. The battery compartment 18 is equipped with a battery compartment 18. There is a battery pack 19, which is electrically connected to the motor 13. A battery cover 20 is provided on the top of the battery compartment 18. The combination of the battery pack 19, the motor 13 and the blades 14 through the hollow air flow holes 11 allows the battery pack 19 to provide stable power support to the motor 13 when the wiring density is too high. The motor 13 drives the rotating shaft to rotate through the transmission shaft, and the blades 14 on the rotating shaft rotate accordingly, generating a strong airflow. During installation, the blades 14 in the two heat dissipation chambers 4 need to rotate in opposite directions to form opposing airflow channels, increase the airflow speed, and allow the airflow to pass through the hollow air flow holes 11 and enter the wiring compartment 2 to quickly remove the heat in the wiring compartment 2.

[0026] Please see Figures 2-4In this embodiment, the wiring compartment 2 is provided with multiple sets of support plates 8, which are linearly arranged along the interior of the wiring compartment 2. Wiring grooves are formed between the support plates 8. The terminal block 7 is located inside the wiring grooves. Sliding rails 9 are installed on both sides of the wiring grooves. Sliding sleeves 22 are fitted on both sides of the terminal block 7. The terminal block 7 slides along the sliding rails 9 via the sliding sleeves 22. Multiple sets of connection ports 21 are linearly formed at the front end of the terminal block 7. The combination of the sliding sleeves 22 and the sliding rails 9 allows the terminal block 7 to slide along the sliding rails 9 via the sliding sleeves 22, facilitating installation and maintenance while improving operation. For flexibility, multiple sets of support plates 8 divide the wiring compartment 2 into multiple wiring troughs, providing an orderly wiring space, reducing cable clutter, and improving management efficiency. Four sets of load-bearing columns 3 are evenly provided at the corners of the cable clamp body. The front surfaces of two sets of load-bearing columns 3 are linearly opened with multiple sets of label slots 10 corresponding to the wiring troughs. By combining the load-bearing columns 3 and the label slots 10, the load-bearing columns 3 enhance the structural stability of the entire cable frame body 1, enabling the cable frame body 1 to maintain its support strength even under high-density wiring. In addition, the label slots 10 also make it easy for staff to identify optical cable information, improving management efficiency.

[0027] Please see Figures 3-5 In this embodiment, two sets of docking slots 16 are symmetrically provided at the upper and lower edges of the cover plate groove 15. The docking slots 16 have primary mounting holes 17 inside. The heat dissipation cover 6 has two sets of docking blocks 23 corresponding to the docking slots 16 symmetrically provided at the upper and lower edges. The center of the docking block 23 has a secondary mounting hole 24 corresponding to the primary mounting hole 17. The surface of the heat dissipation cover 6 has an airflow interaction hole group 25. By combining the docking slots 16 and the docking blocks 23, when installing the heat dissipation cover 6, the operator can easily position the heat dissipation cover 6 by engaging the docking blocks 23 with the docking slots 16. Then, the screws are screwed from the secondary mounting holes 24 into the primary mounting holes 17 to complete the installation of the heat dissipation cover 6. Through the airflow interaction hole group 25, the outside air can enter the heat dissipation chamber 4 through the airflow interaction hole group 25 and be blown into the wiring compartment 2 by the heat dissipation mechanism 5 to complete the heat exchange.

[0028] During operation, the workers strip the outer sheath of the optical cable and connect it through the connection port 21 on the junction box 7. The junction box 7 can be flexibly adjusted within the cable tray via the sliding rail 9 and the sliding sleeve 22 to accommodate the access requirements of different optical cables.

[0029] Then, the staff easily positioned the heat sink cover 6 by engaging the docking block 23 with the docking slot 16, and then screwed the screws from the secondary mounting hole 24 into the primary mounting hole 17 to complete the installation of the heat sink cover 6.

[0030] When the wiring reaches a certain density and the temperature inside the wiring compartment 2 rises to a certain level, the heat dissipation mechanism 5 starts to work. The battery pack 19 provides power to the motor 13, and the motor 13 drives the shaft and blades 14 to rotate, generating forced convection and accelerating airflow. After the two heat dissipation mechanisms 5 work, they form opposing airflow channels.

[0031] Outside air enters the heat dissipation chamber 4 through the airflow interaction hole group 25 under the influence of airflow, thereby increasing the airflow speed by the heat dissipation mechanism 5, so that the airflow can pass through the hollow airflow hole 11 and enter the wiring chamber 2 to quickly remove the heat in the wiring chamber 2.

[0032] Through the above steps, this application combines the junction box 7, the heat dissipation chamber 4, and the heat dissipation mechanism 5. During wiring, when workers strip a large number of optical cables and connect them through the junction box 7, once the wiring reaches a certain density, the heat dissipation mechanisms 5 in the two heat dissipation chambers 4 start working. After the two heat dissipation mechanisms 5 start working, they form opposing airflow channels, promoting airflow speed and thus quickly removing the heat from the wiring chamber 2. In view of the limitations of existing optical cable distribution frames that rely on natural physical processes for heat dissipation, this application solves the heat dissipation problem in high power density and large capacity optical cable access scenarios by introducing an active heat dissipation mechanism, so that the equipment performance and lifespan are not affected by high temperature.
