Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical fiber communication technology, and more specifically, to an optical fiber distribution box. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of optical fiber communication technology, optical fiber distribution boxes, as an important component of optical fiber networks, are used for the connection, distribution and management of optical fibers.
[0003] Existing fiber optic distribution boxes use a pull-out method to connect the fiber optic cable to the corresponding expansion connector. However, the fiber optic distribution box is not easy to fix after being pulled out, and it is only connected by the clips on the fiber optic connector. This can easily lead to damage to the fiber optic connector during the pulling process. Utility Model Content
[0004] The problem solved by this invention is how to fix the fiber optic distribution box.
[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides an optical fiber distribution box, comprising: a distribution box shell having a pull-out groove, one end of which is a pull-out opening, and a locking groove on the periphery of the pull-out opening; a pull-out box located in the pull-out groove for accommodating optical fibers; a movable space between the outer wall of the pull-out box and the pull-out opening; and a handle disposed within the movable space, movably connected to the pull-out box, the handle including a locking protrusion; through the movement of the handle, the locking protrusion can engage with the locking groove to fix the pull-out box within the pull-out groove.
[0006] The technical effects achieved by adopting this solution are as follows: The design of the pull-out slot and locking slot allows the pull-out box to be fixed after being pulled out and retracted, avoiding damage to the fiber optic connector due to unstable connection. The handle is located within the movable space, allowing users to easily operate the pull-out box. The handle is movably connected to the pull-out box, enabling flexible use. The handle includes a locking protrusion, which engages with the locking slot to secure the pull-out box.
[0007] Furthermore, the pull-out box includes a box body and a reinforcing plate, the box body being used to accommodate optical fibers, and the reinforcing plate extending outward from the top and / or bottom of the box body, forming the movable space on the outside of the box body.
[0008] The technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: By setting reinforcing plates at the top and / or bottom of the box and extending them outward to form a movable space, the stability and fixation of the pull-out box can be increased, thereby effectively solving the problem of the pull-out box not being firmly fixed in the fiber optic distribution box.
[0009] Furthermore, the reinforcing plate has a groove facing the inner wall of the pull-out opening; the top and / or bottom of the handle has a corresponding slider, which moves within the groove to move the locking protrusion toward the locking groove.
[0010] The technical effects achieved by adopting this solution are as follows: The groove on the reinforcing plate provides a guide path, allowing the handle to move smoothly within the groove. The slider on the handle cooperates with the groove to ensure that the handle does not deviate from the track during movement, thereby achieving accurate alignment between the locking protrusion and the locking groove.
[0011] Furthermore, the fiber optic distribution box also includes an elastic element, which is disposed between the handle and the pull-out box.
[0012] The technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: The elastic element provides a buffering and reset function between the handle and the pull-out box, allowing the handle to better adapt to the moving state of the pull-out box during use, thereby improving the reliability of the fiber optic distribution box.
[0013] Furthermore, the handle is provided with a first mounting hole for receiving the elastic element; and / or the pull-out box is provided with a second mounting hole for receiving the elastic element.
[0014] The technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: the first and second mounting holes enable the elastic element to be stably installed between the handle and the pull-out box, thereby improving the structural stability and ease of use of the fiber optic distribution box and preventing the elastic element from deviating.
[0015] Furthermore, the pull-out box includes: a first fiber optic connector mounting hole, the first fiber optic connector mounting hole being located on the side of the box body facing the pull-out opening; a latch is provided at the top of the first fiber optic connector mounting hole, the width of the latch being smaller than that of the first fiber optic connector mounting hole, and the latch being able to allow optical fibers to pass through.
[0016] The technical effects achieved by adopting this solution are as follows: The first fiber optic connector mounting hole is used to install the fiber optic connector, ensuring that the fiber optic connector has a fixed installation position inside the pull-out box. The bayonet design allows the fiber optic cable to pass through, but because the bayonet width is smaller than the mounting hole, the fiber optic connector can be effectively fixed after passing through the bayonet, preventing the fiber optic connector from becoming loose or damaged during the pull-out process.
[0017] Furthermore, the pull-out box includes a second fiber optic connector mounting hole, which is located on the side of the box body away from the pull-out opening; the fiber optic distribution box also includes an adapter, which corresponds to the second fiber optic connector mounting hole.
[0018] The technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: the second fiber optic connector mounting hole is located on the side of the pull-out box away from the pull-out opening, which can better fix the fiber optic connector during the pull-out process and avoid damage caused by the pull-out; the adapter corresponds to the second fiber optic connector mounting hole, and this cooperation achieves stable installation of the fiber optic connector.
[0019] Furthermore, the adapter has positioning holes on both sides, and the pull-out box has a corresponding positioning post on the side away from the pull-out opening, the positioning post being used to cooperate with the positioning hole.
[0020] The technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: the cooperation between the positioning post and the positioning hole can effectively prevent the adapter from loosening or misaligning during use, thereby improving the reliability and durability of the fiber optic distribution box.
[0021] Furthermore, the pull-out box also includes a reinforcing part, which is located on the inner side of the box body and corresponds to the position of the positioning post.
[0022] The technical effects achieved by adopting this solution are as follows: The reinforcing part is located on the inside of the box, providing additional support and strength inside the pull-out box. The position of the positioning post corresponds to the position of the reinforcing part, making the structure of the pull-out box more stable during the pulling and fixing process. The pull-out box is not easily deformed or damaged during use, thereby improving the overall reliability and durability of the fiber optic distribution box.
[0023] Furthermore, the pull-out box also includes: guide portions, which are located on both sides of the pull-out box at the end away from the pull-out opening.
[0024] The technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: By setting a guide part, an effective guiding function can be provided at the end of the pull-out box away from the pull-out opening, ensuring that the pull-out box can maintain a stable movement trajectory during the pull-out process, and avoiding operational inconvenience or fiber optic damage caused by deviation or shaking.

[0034] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0035] See Figures 1-6 This utility model provides an optical fiber distribution box 100, which includes: a distribution box shell 110, the distribution box shell 110 having a pull-out groove 111, one end of the pull-out groove 111 being a pull-out opening, and a locking groove 112 being provided on the periphery of the pull-out opening; a pull-out box 120, the pull-out box 120 being located in the pull-out groove 111, the pull-out box 120 being used to accommodate optical fibers; an active space 160 being provided between the outer wall of the pull-out box 120 and the pull-out opening; and a handle 130, the handle 130 being disposed within the active space 160, the handle 130 being movably connected to the pull-out box 120, the handle 130 including a locking protrusion 133; through the movement of the handle 130, the locking protrusion 133 can cooperate with the locking groove 112 to fix the pull-out box 120 within the pull-out groove 111.
[0036] In this embodiment, the design of the pull-out slot 111 and the locking slot 112 allows the pull-out box 120 to be fixed after being pulled out and retracted, avoiding damage to the fiber optic connector due to unstable connection. The handle 130 is located within the movable space 160, allowing the user to easily operate the pull-out box 120. The handle 130 is movably connected to the pull-out box 120, enabling flexible use. The handle 130 includes a locking protrusion 133, which engages with the locking slot 112 to secure the pull-out box 120.
[0037] Preferably, the side of the locking protrusion 133 facing outward is the locking surface, which fits against the side wall of the locking groove 112 to prevent the pull-out box 120 from being pulled out of the pull-out groove 111.
[0038] Furthermore, the inward-facing side of the locking protrusion 133 is a slope, which faces the opposite side wall of the locking groove 112. When the pull box 120 is pushed inward into the inner cavity of the pull-out groove 111, the slope can contact and slide with the opposite side wall of the locking groove 112, thereby causing the locking protrusion 133 to exit the locking groove 112 and efficiently unlocking the pull box 120 and the pull-out groove 111.
[0039] In one specific embodiment, the pull-out box 120 has a winding post, and the optical fiber is wound around the winding post for storage.
[0040] In one specific embodiment, the pull-out box 120 includes a box body 121 and a reinforcing plate 123.

[0041] It should be noted that by setting a reinforcing plate 123 at the top and / or bottom of the box 121 and extending it outward to form an active space 160, the stability and fixation of the pull-out box 120 can be increased, thereby effectively solving the problem of the pull-out box 120 not being firmly fixed in the fiber optic distribution box 100.
[0042] Preferably, the box body 121 and the reinforcing plate 123 are an integral structure or a detachable structure. The box body 121 and the reinforcing plate 123 are made of metal or high-strength plastic, and there is no limitation here.
[0043] In one specific embodiment, the reinforcing plate 123 has a groove 124 facing the inner wall of the pull-out opening; the top and / or bottom of the handle 130 are provided with corresponding sliders 132, which move within the groove 124 to move the locking protrusion 133 toward the locking groove 112.
[0044] It should be noted that the groove 124 on the reinforcing plate 123 provides a guide path, allowing the handle 130 to move smoothly within the groove 124. The slider 132 on the handle 130 cooperates with the groove 124 to ensure that the handle 130 does not deviate from the track during movement, thereby achieving accurate docking between the locking protrusion 133 and the locking groove 112.
[0045] Correspondingly, during the unlocking process of the locking protrusion 133 and the locking groove 112, the slider 132 can also assist the handle 130 to slide along the direction of the groove 124 to prevent the handle 130 from deviating.
[0046] In one specific embodiment, the fiber optic distribution box 100 further includes an elastic element 140, which is disposed between the handle 130 and the pull-out box 120.
[0047] It should be noted that the elastic element 140 provides a buffering and resetting function between the handle 130 and the pull-out box 120, so that the handle 130 can better adapt to the moving state of the pull-out box 120 during use, thereby improving the reliability of the fiber optic distribution box 100.
[0048] Preferably, the elastic element 140 is, for example, a spring or a rubber element.
[0049] In one specific embodiment, the handle 130 is provided with a first mounting hole 131 for receiving the elastic element 140; and / or the pull-out box 120 is provided with a second mounting hole 126 for receiving the elastic element 140.
[0050] It should be noted that the first mounting hole 131 and the second mounting hole 126 enable the elastic element 140 to be stably installed between the handle 130 and the pull-out box 120, thereby improving the structural stability and ease of use of the fiber optic distribution box 100 and preventing the elastic element 140 from deviating.
[0051] Preferably, the first mounting hole 131 and the second mounting hole 126 are, for example, circular holes that match the spring.
