[0030] like Figure 1As shown, an outdoor integrated installation device for an optical fiber demodulator in one embodiment of this utility model includes a pole 10, a cabinet 20, a lightning rod 30, a solar cell 40, a solar controller 51, a communication antenna 52, a storage battery 53, a voltage regulator 54, a surge protector 55, an optical fiber demodulator 56, and a wireless communication module 57.

[0031] The solar controller 51 is connected to the solar cell 40 and the battery 53, and is used to control the storage of electrical energy and the output load voltage. A regulated power supply 54 is connected to the solar controller 51 and the fiber optic demodulator 56 to convert the load voltage into the power supply voltage required by the fiber optic demodulator 56. A surge protector 55 is connected to the solar cell 40 and grounded. A wireless communication module 57 is connected to the fiber optic demodulator 56. The wireless communication module 57 is used to control the external wireless communication of the fiber optic demodulator 56, enabling remote monitoring and data transmission / reception of the fiber optic demodulator 56.

[0032] In one embodiment, the wireless communication module 57 is also connected to a transceiver antenna. The wireless communication module 57 can be connected to a battery 53 or a regulated power supply 54 to obtain power.

[0033] In one embodiment, the solar controller 51 includes an MPPT controller. Preferably, the solar controller 51 is an MPPT12V24V20.

[0034] The solar controller 51 uses MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) technology to achieve maximum energy tracking of the solar cell 40, enabling it to quickly and accurately track the maximum power point of the solar cell 40 in any environment, obtain the maximum energy of the solar cell 40 in real time, significantly improve the energy utilization rate of the solar system, and manage the output of the solar cell 40, the battery 53, and the load voltage.

[0035] The solar controller 51 has comprehensive software and hardware fault detection and protection functions. It has a built-in 4G module that can be interconnected with a remote management platform. It can realize various remote monitoring functions, including solar voltage and current, battery voltage and power, load voltage and current, cumulative power consumption, and equipment temperature. It supports real-time viewing of equipment status, receiving fault alarm information, and remote connection and disconnection of load. In case of equipment failure, it supports remote restart of power supply to restore equipment operation. System monitoring, diagnosis and recovery can be completed without personnel on-site, which can minimize the damage to product components caused by factors such as installation errors, system failures, and harsh environments.

[0036] In other embodiments, the voltage regulator 54 may not be provided, and the load output terminal of the solar controller 51 may be directly connected to the power supply terminal of the fiber optic demodulator 56 to generate the load voltage required by the fiber optic demodulator 56.

[0037] The fiber optic demodulator 56 is connected to the fiber optic cables of external sensors, and measures physical or chemical quantities such as temperature, pressure, strain, vibration, and chemical composition through fiber optic demodulation technology. Powered by solar energy, the fiber optic demodulator 56 can be directly installed near the point of measurement without the need for manual monitoring.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the solar cell 40 is installed on the pole 10, and the solar controller 51, battery 53, voltage regulator 54, surge protector 55, fiber optic demodulator 56 and wireless communication module 57 are all installed inside the cabinet 20.

[0039] In one embodiment, the outdoor integrated installation device also includes a cement pouring platform 60, and the pole 10 is fixedly installed on the cement pouring platform 60.

[0040] Specifically, the outdoor integrated installation device may also include a ground cage (shown by the dotted line in the figure), which is cast and fixed to the cement pouring platform 60, and the uprights 10 are fixedly installed on the ground cage.

[0041] Preferably, the bottom of the upright 10 is provided with a mounting flange 13 for installing the ground cage, and the thickness of the mounting flange 13 is not less than 14mm.

[0042] Preferably, the upright 10 is a hollow stainless steel rod with a wall thickness of not less than 4mm.

[0043] The installation structure design of the upright 10 ensures overall stability and provides superior wind and earthquake resistance. In actual installation, the cabinet 20 can also be installed on the concrete pouring platform 60, or part of the concrete pouring platform 60 can be buried underground.

[0044] In one embodiment, the outdoor integrated installation device further includes a solar panel bracket 14, which is fixedly installed on the upper end of the pole, and the solar cell 40 is installed on the solar panel bracket 14.

[0045] The top of the pole 10 has a solar power inlet hole (not shown in the figure), and the bottom of the pole 10 has a solar power outlet hole 11. The wires of the solar cell 40 extend into the interior of the pole 10 through the solar power inlet hole and exit through the solar power outlet hole 11 at the bottom of the pole 10.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the lightning rod 30 is installed at the top of the pole. The lightning rod 30 is preferably a single-needle lightning rod, and the lightning rod 30 is grounded through the pole to avoid lightning strikes.

[0047] The pole 10 is also equipped with an antenna bracket 12 for mounting the communication antenna 52.

[0048] In one embodiment, the transceiver antenna can also be mounted on an antenna bracket, or another transceiver antenna bracket can be provided on the pole 10 for mounting the transceiver antenna. An angle can be formed between the transceiver antenna bracket and the antenna bracket 12, so that the transceiver antenna and the communication antenna 52 are offset by a certain distance to avoid mutual interference.

[0049] In one embodiment, the outdoor integrated installation device also includes a camera mounted on the pole 10, which is connected to an external device to transmit video data.

[0050] Specifically, the preferred camera is a 4G outdoor camera from brands such as Xiaomi and Qiaoan, supporting human detection and dynamic tracking. It can interconnect with a remote management platform via 4G to transmit monitoring footage in real time. Video supports cloud storage, allowing for viewing of historical footage even after theft. The camera supports wide-angle ultra-high-definition video, providing efficient monitoring for outdoor integrated installations. The camera can be connected to a regulated power supply 54 for power supply.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, a base 21 is provided at the bottom of the cabinet 20. In one embodiment, the base 21 includes four side panels, which together form a square frame. The base 21 can be fixed to the concrete pouring platform 60 with bolts or the bottom part of the base 21 can be embedded into the concrete pouring platform 60 for fixation. By setting the base 21, an elevated layer is formed between the cabinet 20 and the concrete pouring platform 60, keeping the cabinet 20 away from ground water accumulation and providing a waterproof function. Preferably, the height of the base 21 is not less than 10cm, that is, ensuring that the bottom of the cabinet 20 is at least 10cm away from the upper surface of the concrete pouring platform 60.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, a second through hole 22 is provided on the side wall of the base 21, and a first through hole 23 communicating with the second through hole 22 is provided on the bottom of the cabinet 20. In one embodiment, a second through hole 22 is provided on all four side walls of the base. After the wires of the solar cell 40 pass through the solar output hole 11 at the bottom of the pole, they can extend into the cabinet 20 and connect to the equipment through the second through hole 22 and the first through hole 23 in sequence. The external sensor optical fiber can also extend into the cabinet 20 and connect to the fiber optic demodulator 56 through the second through hole 22 and the first through hole 23 in sequence. By allowing these cables to pass through the side of the base 21 and the bottom of the cabinet 20 into the cabinet 20, rainwater is less likely to flow into the cabinet 20 along the cables.

[0053] Preferably, the second through hole 22 is located on the upper part of the base 21, so that the cable is less likely to come into contact with water when it passes through the base 21 and extends into the cabinet 20.

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, the top of the rack 20 is also equipped with a canopy 24, which is angled downwards to facilitate drainage. The front and rear sides of the canopy 24 protrude outwards from the rack 20, forming protrusions. Ventilation holes are located at the bottom of these protrusions and are connected to the interior of the rack 20, ensuring ventilation while effectively preventing rainwater from entering. The front of the rack 20 has a door (not shown in the figure), which is fitted with a sealing strip. When the door is closed, the sealing strip forms a seal between the door and the rack body.

[0055] In one embodiment, the outdoor integrated installation device also includes a door opening detection alarm and a locator.

[0056] The locator can be installed on rack 20 using adhesive or strong magnets. It communicates with external devices to send its location information. Specifically, the locator can be an AIRTAG locator, a 4G / BeiDou / GPS locator, or other types. It can interconnect with a remote management platform for real-time positioning and tracking of the entire device, supporting vibration alarms and disassembly alarms to effectively prevent theft or unauthorized movement. If the device is stolen, it can be located and recovered. The locator can have its own battery for extended operation, eliminating the need for an external power source.

[0057] The door opening detection alarm is installed inside the cabinet door. The preferred door opening detection alarm is the F-02 intelligent door opening detection alarm, which can realize the door opening alarm function, can be interconnected with the remote management platform, and supports remote reminder notification via mobile phone.

[0058] Preferably, the pole 10 and the cabinet 20 are made of stainless steel, and the surfaces of the pole 10 and the cabinet 20 are covered with a hot-dip galvanized layer. The surface of the hot-dip galvanized layer is coated with a heat-insulating coating, which can improve the corrosion resistance, UV aging resistance and heat insulation performance.

[0059] like Figure 2 As shown, the cabinet 20 can also be equipped with shelves, which are horizontally and fixedly installed inside the cabinet 20. In one embodiment, two shelves are provided, namely shelf 25 and shelf 26, which divide the internal space of the cabinet 20 into an equipment layer, a complex layer, and a battery layer from top to bottom. The equipment layer can be used to house the fiber optic demodulator 56, the complex layer can be used to house devices such as the solar controller 51, the voltage regulator 54, the wireless communication module 57, and the surge protector 55, and the battery layer can be used to house the storage battery 53.

[0060] The cabinet 20 may also be equipped with a mounting plate 27, which is vertically fixed inside the cabinet 20. In one embodiment, the mounting plate 27 is disposed between the shelf 25 and the shelf 26, and can be used to install equipment such as the solar controller 51, the voltage regulator 54, and the surge protector 55.

[0061] In other embodiments, shelves and mounting plates 27 may be provided in other numbers and locations, or shelves and / or mounting plates 27 may not be provided.

[0062] In one embodiment, the fiber optic demodulator 56 is bolted to the shelf 25, the wireless communication module 57 is bolted to the shelf 26, the solar controller 51, the voltage regulator 54, and the surge protector 55 are bolted to the mounting plate 27, and the battery 53 is bolted to the bottom plate of the cabinet 20. By using bolts to fix the equipment inside the cabinet, the equipment is ensured to be stable, less prone to tipping over and damage during vibrations, and the overall shock resistance of the equipment is improved.

[0063] In practical applications, the outdoor integrated installation device for the fiber optic demodulator in this solution can provide a stable and continuous autonomous power supply to the fiber optic demodulator 56, making it widely adaptable to various unattended outdoor work sites. By installing surge protectors 55 and lightning rods 30, protection against induced lightning strikes, direct lightning strikes, or other transient overvoltage surges can be achieved, improving system safety and reducing the impact of abnormal conditions such as overcurrent, undervoltage, and lightning on the system. The overall reinforced structural design of the device significantly enhances the wind and earthquake resistance of the outdoor site, providing a stable hardware foundation for the operation of unattended outdoor sites. The introduction of a solar controller 51 allows for remote monitoring of power generation, stored energy, and load power consumption, enabling remote diagnosis of system power supply faults without the need for on-site personnel.

[0064] 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. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0065] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
