Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments disclosed herein relate to the field of optical fiber distribution box technology, and more specifically, to a floating optical fiber distribution box. Background Technology

[0002] Fiber optic distribution boxes are suitable for outdoor or indoor use for fiber optic cable distribution and entry into homes. Their main function is to fix fiber optic cables and fiber optic connectors.

[0003] In existing technologies, to achieve a compact structure and reduce size, the distance between the splicing tray inside the small fiber optic distribution box and the side wall of the distribution box is very small, and the bottom end of the splicing tray is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the distribution box. When splicing fiber, manual operation is required. For example, in wall-mounted fiber optic distribution boxes, during installation, winding, and splicing, after opening the box cover, the operator flips the adapter by hinged to the inner side wall of the box via a connecting plate. During operation, both hands need to enter the box. The space inside the box is small, and the box walls restrict the installation of fiber optic cables, making the operation inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, the embodiments of this disclosure provide a floating optical fiber distribution box to solve the technical problem in the prior art that the narrow cable supply inside the box restricts the installation of optical cables during fiber splicing operations, resulting in inconvenience.

[0005] According to one aspect, at least one embodiment of this disclosure provides a floating optical fiber distribution box, including a distribution box body, the distribution box body including a lower shell, a fiber fusion tray disposed on the inner bottom wall of the lower shell, a connecting plate rotatably connected to the lower shell via a rotating member, an adapter mounted on the connecting plate, and further including an elastic connector, a first fixing member and a second fixing member, the elastic connector being disposed on the connecting plate and the fiber fusion tray for elastically connecting the connecting plate and the fiber fusion tray, the first fixing member being disposed on the inner side wall of the lower shell for fixing the connecting plate, and the second fixing member being disposed inside the lower shell for fixing the fiber fusion tray.

[0006] In order to rotate the connecting plate 90 degrees so that fiber splicing can be performed on the fiber splicing tray, the rotating component includes two hinge seats, a first rotating shaft, and a rotating plate. One end of each of the two hinge seats is fixedly connected to the inner sidewall of the lower housing. The two ends of the first rotating shaft are respectively fixedly connected to the two inner sidewalls of the hinge seats. One end of the rotating plate is rotatably connected to the first rotating shaft, and the other ends of the two rotating plates are fixedly connected to one end of the connecting plate.

[0007] To elastically connect the connecting plate and the fiber fusion tray, so that the fiber fusion tray rotates and moves out of the bottom of the lower housing when the connecting plate rotates, the elastic connecting component includes two connecting springs, a fixed plate, a connecting shaft, a slider, and two fixed seats. One end of each of the two connecting springs is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the two rotating plates, and the other end of each of the two connecting springs is fixedly connected to the top end of the fixed plate. One end of the fixed plate is fixedly connected to one end of the fiber fusion tray, and the connecting shaft is rotatably connected to both ends of the fiber fusion tray. One end of the slider is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting shaft. The two fixed seats are respectively disposed on both sides of the connecting plate, and the bottom end of the fixed seat is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the lower housing. The fixed seat has a groove that cooperates with the slider, and the slider slides in cooperation with the inner wall of the groove.

[0008] In order to keep the connecting plate fixed after rotating 90 degrees and prevent the connecting plate from rotating back to its original position under the pull of the connecting spring, the first fixing member includes a first locking plate and a first bolt. One end of the first locking plate is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the lower housing. The first bolt passes through the first locking plate and is embedded in the connecting plate. Both the first locking plate and the connecting plate are threadedly connected to the first bolt. The first locking plate is provided with a first screw hole that mates with the first bolt.

[0009] In order to keep the fiber fusion tray fixed after it rotates and is rotated to a horizontal position by pressing one end of the fiber fusion tray, the second fixing member includes a second locking plate, a second bolt and an extension plate. One end of the second locking plate is fixedly connected to a fixing seat. The second bolt passes through the second locking plate and is threadedly connected to the second locking plate. One end of the extension plate is fixedly connected to one end of the fiber fusion tray, and the other end is slidably engaged with the second locking plate. A second screw hole is provided on the other end of the extension plate to engage with the second bolt.

[0010] In order for the slider to drive the fiber melting disc to rotate around the axis of the first rotating shaft, the groove is arc-shaped, and the axis of the groove coincides with the axis of the first rotating shaft.

[0011] In order to maintain the balance of the fiber melting disc when the connecting plate drives the fiber melting disc to rotate, two connecting springs are symmetrically arranged on the fixed plate.

[0012] In order to press one end of the fiber fusion tray after it moves up from the bottom of the lower housing, so that the fiber fusion tray rotates around the axis of the connecting shaft, and when the fiber fusion tray is in a horizontal state, the second screw hole and the second bolt correspond, and when the slider is at the top of the slide groove, the axis of the connecting shaft and the longitudinal center point of the second locking plate are on the same horizontal line.

[0013] To maintain the balance of the fiber melting tray, one of the rotating shafts and the second locking plate are symmetrically arranged on both sides of one end of the fiber melting tray.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the embodiments disclosed herein are as follows:

[0015] 1. In this disclosure, through the cooperation of the connecting plate, rotating part, elastic connecting part and fiber melting disc, the worker rotates the connecting plate and the fiber melting disc rotates. The rotation of the fiber melting disc drives the two sliders to rotate in the groove in the fixed seat. When the connecting plate rotates 90 degrees, the connecting plate remains vertical and drives the fiber melting disc to be vertical through the connecting spring. At this time, the slider is at the top of the groove. While keeping the connecting plate stable, press the other end of the fiber melting disc to make it rotate 90 degrees in the opposite direction with the axis of the connecting shaft as the center. At this time, the fiber melting disc can be in a horizontal state. This makes the fiber melting disc rise from the inner bottom wall of the lower shell, so that the fiber melting disc is in the upper part of the lower shell, which is beneficial for the worker to have enough operating space during operation.

[0016] 2. In this disclosure, the first bolt passes through the first locking plate and is threadedly connected to the connecting plate by the cooperation of the first and second fixing parts, thus locking and fixing the connecting plate. The second bolt locks the extension plate and the second locking plate, thus fixing the other end of the fiber melting tray. When the connecting plate is rotated, the fiber melting tray is driven to rise a certain distance from the inner bottom wall of the lower housing and then remains in a horizontal and fixed state. Fiber melting can be performed on the fiber melting tray, and the fiber melting work does not exert great downward pressure on the fiber melting tray. This makes it convenient for workers to perform fiber melting operations on the fiber melting tray and avoids the need for workers to enter the lower housing with their hands, which is inconvenient due to the small space.

[0031] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a floating optical fiber distribution box according to an embodiment of this disclosure is illustrated, including a distribution box body 1. The distribution box body 1 includes a lower shell 2, and a fiber splicing tray 3 is disposed on the inner bottom wall of the lower shell 2. The fiber splicing tray 3 is vertically and vertically disposed within the lower shell 2. A connecting plate 4 is rotatably connected to the lower shell 2 via a rotating component. A support rod 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting plate 4. In order to rotate the connecting plate 4 by 90 degrees so that fiber splicing can be performed on the fiber splicing tray 3, as shown... Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the rotating component includes two hinge seats 6, a first rotating shaft 7, and a rotating plate 8. One end of each of the two hinge seats 6 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lower housing 2. Both ends of the first rotating shaft 7 are fixedly connected to the two inner walls of the hinge seats 6, respectively. One end of the rotating plate 8 is rotatably connected to the first rotating shaft 7. The other ends of the two rotating plates 8 are fixedly connected to one end of the connecting plate 4. An adapter 5 is installed on the connecting plate 4. By rotating one end of the connecting plate 4, the connecting plate 4 drives the adapter 5 and the rotating plate 8 to rotate around the axis of the first rotating shaft 7. It also includes an elastic connector, a first fixing member, and a second fixing member.

[0032] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, an elastic connector is provided on the connecting plate 4 and the fiber melting tray 3 to elastically connect the connecting plate 4 and the fiber melting tray 3. In order to elastically connect the connecting plate 4 and the fiber melting tray 3, when the connecting plate 4 rotates, it simultaneously drives the fiber melting tray 3 to rotate and move out from the bottom of the lower housing 2. The elastic connector includes two connecting springs 9, a fixed plate 10, a connecting shaft 11, a slider 12, and two fixed seats 13. One end of the two connecting springs 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the two rotating plates 8 respectively. In order to maintain the balance of the fiber melting tray 3 when the connecting plate 4 drives the fiber melting tray 3 to rotate, the two connecting springs 9 are symmetrically arranged on the fixed plate 10. The other end of the two connecting springs 9 is fixedly connected to the top end of the fixed plate 10. One end of the fixed plate 10 is fixedly connected to one end of the fiber melting tray 3. The two ends of the fiber melting tray 3 are rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 11 respectively, and the two connecting shafts 11 have different lengths to adapt to the connecting plate 4. One end of the slider 12 is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting shaft 11. The slider 12 is an irregular block. The two fixed seats 13 are respectively provided on both sides of the connecting plate 4 to fix... The bottom end of the fixed seat 13 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the lower housing 2. The fixed seat 13 is provided with a groove 14 that cooperates with the slider 12. The slider 12 slides in contact with the inner wall of the groove 14. In order for the slider 12 to drive the fiber melting disk 3 to rotate around the axis of the first rotating shaft 7, the groove 14 is arc-shaped, and the axis of the groove 14 coincides with the axis of the first rotating shaft 7. The connecting plate 4 drives the rotating plate 8 to rotate around the axis of the first rotating shaft 7, while simultaneously driving one end of the connecting spring 9 to rotate. The other end of the connecting spring 9 drives the fixed seat 13 to rotate. The fixed plate 10 and the fiber melting tray 3 rotate. The rotation of the fiber melting tray 3 drives the two sliders 12 to rotate in an arc in the groove 14 in the fixed seat 13. When the connecting plate 4 rotates 90 degrees, the connecting plate 4 remains vertical and drives the fiber melting tray 3 to be in a vertical state through the connecting spring 9. At this time, the slider 12 is at the top of the groove 14. By pressing the other end of the fiber melting tray 3 while keeping the connecting plate 4 fixed, it rotates 90 degrees in the opposite direction with the axis of the connecting shaft 11 as the center. At this time, the fiber melting tray 3 is in a horizontal state.

[0033] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first fixing member is set on the inner side wall of the lower housing 2 to fix the connecting plate 4. In order to keep the connecting plate 4 fixed after rotating 90 degrees and to prevent the connecting plate 4 from rotating back to its original position under the pull of the connecting spring 9, the first fixing member includes a first locking plate 15 and a first bolt 16. One end of the first locking plate 15 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the lower housing 2. The first bolt 16 passes through the first locking plate 15 and is embedded in the connecting plate 4. Both the first locking plate 15 and the connecting plate 4 are threadedly connected to the first bolt 16. The first locking plate 15 is provided with a first screw hole 17 that mates with the first bolt 16. When the connecting rod rotates 90 degrees, the connecting plate 4 is locked and fixed by passing the first bolt 16 through the first locking plate 15 and threading it with the connecting plate 4.

[0034] The second fixing component is installed inside the lower housing 2 to fix the fiber fusion tray 3. To maintain the fiber fusion tray 3 in place after it rotates and is rotated to a horizontal position by pressing one end of the tray, the second fixing component includes a second locking plate 18, a second bolt 19, and an extension plate 20. One end of the second locking plate 18 is fixedly connected to a fixing seat 13. The second bolt 19 passes through the second locking plate 18 and is threadedly connected to it. One end of the extension plate 20 is fixedly connected to one end of the fiber fusion tray 3, and the other end is slidably engaged with the second locking plate 18. A second screw hole 21 is provided on the other end of the extension plate 20 to mate with the second bolt 19. This allows the fiber fusion tray 3 to move upwards from the bottom of the lower housing 2, pressing one end of the tray to make it rotate around the axis of the connecting shaft 11. After rotation, when the fiber fusion tray 3 is in a horizontal state, the second screw hole 21 and the second bolt 19 correspond to each other. When the slider 12 is at the top of the slide groove 14, the axis of the connecting shaft 11 and the longitudinal center point of the second locking plate 18 are on the same horizontal line. In order to maintain the balance of the fiber fusion tray 3, a rotating shaft and the second locking plate 18 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of one end of the fiber fusion tray 3. When the connecting plate 4 is locked and fixed by the first bolt 16, the other end of the fiber fusion tray 3 is pressed to make it rotate 90 degrees in the opposite direction with the axis of the connecting shaft 11 as the center. At this time, the fiber fusion tray 3 is in a horizontal state. The other end of the fiber fusion tray 3 drives the extension plate 20 to rotate in the opposite direction. At this time, the second screw hole 21 corresponds to the second bolt 19. By tightening the second bolt 19, the extension plate 20 and the second locking plate 18 are fixed, thus fixing the fiber fusion tray 3.

[0035] Working Principle: The floating fiber optic distribution box is installed in a suitable location. The distribution box body 1 is opened, allowing observation of the lower housing 2. Rotating one end of the connecting plate 4 causes the adapter 5 and rotating plate 8 to rotate around the axis of the first rotating shaft 7. Simultaneously, one end of the connecting spring 9 rotates, and the other end of the connecting spring 9 rotates the fixing plate 10 and the fiber fusion tray 3. The rotation of the fiber fusion tray 3 causes the two sliders 12 to rotate in an arc within the groove 14 of the fixed seat 13. After the connecting plate 4 rotates 90 degrees, it remains vertical, and the connecting spring 9 causes the fiber fusion tray 3 to be in a vertical position. At this point, the sliders 12 are at the top of the groove 14. The first bolt 16 is threaded through the first locking plate 15 and connected to the connecting plate 4, thus locking and fixing the connecting plate 4. Pressing the other end of the fiber fusion tray 3 causes it to rotate 90 degrees in the opposite direction around the axis of the connecting shaft 11. At this point, the fiber fusion tray 3 is in the water... In the flat state, the other end of the fiber melting tray 3 drives the extension plate 20 to rotate in the opposite direction. At this time, the second screw hole 21 corresponds to the second bolt 19. By tightening the second bolt 19, the extension plate 20 and the second locking plate 18 are fixed, thus fixing the fiber melting tray 3. At this time, through the tension of the fixing plate 10 and the connecting spring 9, and the abutment of the slider 12 against the inner top wall of the slide groove 14, one end of the fiber melting tray 3 is kept fixed. The extension plate 20 and the second locking plate 18 are locked by the second bolt 19, thus fixing the other end of the fiber melting tray 3. Thus, while rotating the connecting plate 4, the fiber melting tray 3 is driven to rise a certain distance from the inner bottom wall of the lower housing 2 and then remains in a horizontal and fixed state. Fiber melting work can be carried out on the fiber melting tray 3, and the fiber melting work does not generate great downward pressure on the fiber melting tray 3. This makes it convenient for workers to carry out fiber melting operations on the fiber melting tray 3, avoiding the need for workers to enter the lower housing 2 with their hands, which is inconvenient due to the small space.

[0036] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this disclosure and are not intended to limit it. Although this disclosure has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this disclosure, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this disclosure.
