Description

A network optical path maintenance device Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of maintenance device technology, specifically a network optical path maintenance device. Background Technology

[0002] Network optical path maintenance devices are key equipment and technical systems used to ensure the stable operation of optical fiber communication networks and to detect and repair optical path faults. With the widespread application of optical fiber networks in fields such as communication, data centers, and industrial internet, the timeliness and accuracy of optical path maintenance are directly related to the quality of network services. In network optical path maintenance, continuity testing of network optical paths is a necessary task.

[0003] For example, the patent with publication number CN205071000U (A Network Optical Path Testing Device) includes a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter includes an infrared laser emitting lamp, which includes a transmitter housing with a manual transmission button. The housing contains a battery and a red light generating circuit board. One end of the transmitter housing is closed, and the unclosed end has a conical light guide cavity cap with a light outlet at its tip. The receiver includes a receiver housing, an observation port at one end of the housing, a light inlet at the other end, and a light amplification device inside the housing.

[0004] While the aforementioned existing technologies employ a separate transmitter and receiver design, using an active transmitter to emit red light and a receiver to receive it to determine optical path continuity, they lack automatic alerting capabilities. Consequently, when determining network optical path continuity, personnel must observe through an observation port to check for infrared light transmission. This not only reduces detection efficiency and increases labor costs but also increases the risk of misjudgment or missed judgment in environments with complex lighting and inconvenient observation, affecting the accuracy of network optical path maintenance and detection. Therefore, the market urgently needs to develop a network optical path maintenance device to help solve these existing problems. Summary of the Invention

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0022] Please refer to Figures 1-3. One embodiment of this utility model is a network optical path maintenance device, which includes a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter includes a transmitter housing 1 and a conical light guide cavity cap 3. The receiver includes a receiver housing 6 and a conical light guide cavity cap 7. An infrared receiver 8 is fixedly installed on one side of the receiver housing 6, and an indicator light 9 is fixedly installed on the front end of the infrared receiver 8.

[0023] When the receiver receives the infrared light emitted by the transmitter, indicator light 9 will turn on and off, eliminating the need for personnel to constantly monitor the observation port. This greatly improves detection efficiency and saves labor costs. At the same time, it avoids misjudgments or omissions caused by factors such as fatigue during manual observation and interference from external light in environments with complex lighting and inconvenient observation. This ensures that the network optical path maintenance and detection results are more accurate and reliable, increasing practicality.

[0024] Furthermore, a switch button 2 is provided at the front end of the transmitter housing 1. The transmitter housing 1 is fixedly installed on one side of the conical light guide cavity cap 3. A light outlet is provided at the end of the conical light guide cavity cap 3 away from the transmitter housing 1. An infrared light generator is fixedly installed inside the transmitter housing 1.

[0025] The switch button 2 allows inspectors to easily emit infrared light without complicated procedures; a simple press is all it takes to start and stop, greatly improving ease of operation and flexibility. The conical light guide cavity cap 3 has a light outlet at one end, which facilitates guiding the infrared light to be emitted in a predetermined direction, reducing light scattering and loss, and improving the infrared light transmission efficiency and directivity. The infrared light generator provides an infrared light source for network optical path maintenance and inspection, ensuring the smooth progress of inspection work.

[0026] Furthermore, the receiver housing 6 is fixedly installed on one side of the conical light guide cavity cap 7, and the end of the conical light guide cavity cap 7 away from the receiver housing 6 is provided with a light inlet, and a convex lens is fixedly installed inside the receiver housing 6.

[0027] The fixed installation of the receiver housing 6 and the conical light guide cavity cap 7 makes the overall structure of the receiver robust. The conical light guide cavity cap 7 is provided with a light inlet, which effectively collects and guides the infrared light from the transmitter into the receiver. The convex lens on the optical path focusing can converge the infrared light entering the receiver, enhance the intensity and sensitivity of the received signal of the infrared receiver 8, improve the accuracy and reliability of detection, and provide a clearer and more accurate signal for network optical path maintenance and detection.

[0028] Furthermore, both the inner sides of the conical optical cavity cap 1 (3) and the conical optical cavity cap 2 (7) are provided with light-reflecting layers.

[0029] The light-reflecting layer reflects infrared light that shines onto the inside of the cap, reducing light scattering and loss. This allows more infrared light to propagate along the predetermined optical path, improving light utilization and enhancing the intensity of infrared light at the transmitting end and the signal strength received at the receiving end. This helps ensure accurate and clear transmission of infrared light signals between the transmitting and receiving ends, improving the signal quality and stability of network optical path maintenance and detection.

[0030] Furthermore, a fixing plate 4 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the transmitter housing 1. A clamping assembly 5 is installed on the upper and lower sides of one side of the fixing plate 4. A fixing plate 10 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the receiver housing 6. A clamping assembly 11 is installed on the upper and lower sides of one side of the fixing plate 10. The clamping assembly 11 and the clamping assembly 5 have the same internal structure. The clamping assembly 5 includes a clamping plate 501, a mounting plate 502, a threaded rod 503 and a handwheel 504. The mounting plate 502 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 4. The clamping plate 501 is located on the side of the mounting plate 502 facing the conical light guide cavity cap 3. The threaded rod 503 is rotatably installed on the side of the clamping plate 501 facing the mounting plate 502. The end of the threaded rod 503 away from the clamping plate 501 passes through the mounting plate 502 and is threadedly connected to the mounting plate 502. The handwheel 504 is fixedly installed on one end of the threaded rod 503.

[0031] During maintenance and testing, the transmitter and receiver are inserted into the two ends of the optical cable in the optical path under test, respectively. The clamping assembly is installed through the fixing plate to provide a reliable installation and fixing method for the device, so that it can be stably installed in the testing position, avoiding shaking and displacement from affecting the testing results, and ensuring the accuracy and stability of the testing. By rotating the handwheel 504, the threaded rod 503 is rotated, so that the clamping plate 501 moves along the axial direction of the threaded rod 503, thereby clamping and fixing the optical cable of the network optical path. The operation is simple and flexible, and the disassembly and installation are convenient.

[0032] Furthermore, a guide post 12 is fixedly installed on the side of the clamping plate 501 facing the mounting plate 502, one end of the guide post 12 slides through the mounting plate 502, the clamping plate 501 is set as an arc plate, and a rubber pad 13 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the clamping plate 501.

[0033] The guide post 12 is designed to guide the clamping plate 501 as it moves, ensuring that the clamping plate 501 moves linearly along the threaded rod axis, avoiding deviation and shaking, and improving clamping accuracy and stability. The rubber pad 13 increases the friction between the clamping plate and the clamped object, making the clamping more secure.

[0034] Working principle: During use and maintenance testing, the transmitter and receiver are inserted into the two ends of the optical cable under test. Stable installation is achieved using the fixing plates and clamping components fixed on the outer sides of the transmitter housing 1 and receiver housing 6. Rotating the handwheel 504 drives the threaded rod 503 to rotate. Under the guidance of the guide post 12, the arc-shaped clamping plate 501 moves axially along the threaded rod 503, achieving a firm clamping and fixing of the optical cable. When the transmitter is working, pressing the front switch button 2 causes the infrared light generator inside the transmitter housing 1 to generate infrared light, which is guided through the light outlet at one end of the conical light guide cavity cap 3 and emitted into the optical cable. The receiver collects the infrared light through the light inlet at one end of the conical light guide cavity cap 7. When the receiver receives the infrared light emitted by the transmitter, the indicator light 9 illuminates or extinguishes. The testing personnel do not need to constantly monitor the observation port to determine the continuity of the optical path, increasing its practicality.

[0035] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
