Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Fiber optic distribution boxes are devices used for connecting, distributing, and scheduling fiber optic lines. They mainly realize the terminal access of fiber optic cables, the splicing and distribution of optical fibers, and serve as the connection and distribution hub between the backbone fiber optic cable and the user-side fiber optic cable in the fiber optic communication network. The backplane provides physical support for the routing and connection of optical fibers. In the fiber optic distribution box, numerous optical fibers need to be laid in an orderly manner. Specific structures on the backplane, such as card slots and cable trays, can guide the optical fibers to be laid along a predetermined path, avoiding fiber crossing and confusion.

[0003] In existing optical fiber distribution boxes, the back panel and the distribution box are integrated into one structure. This means that when maintenance or repair is needed on the equipment or lines inside the distribution box, the operation can only be performed by opening the box door and operating from the front of the mounting frame. However, operating from the front is difficult because the mounting frame and other equipment can obstruct the view of the wiring between the devices. This makes it inconvenient for staff to perform maintenance or repair on the equipment and lines inside the distribution box, and the operation is quite cumbersome. Utility Model Content

[0025] The present disclosure will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure.

[0026] To keep the drawings concise, each drawing only schematically shows the parts relevant to the disclosure; these do not represent the actual structure of the product. Furthermore, for ease of understanding, in some drawings, only one of components with the same structure or function is schematically shown, or only one is labeled. In this document, "one" not only means "only one," but can also mean "more than one," and "several" includes "two" and "more than two."

[0027] In this document, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linkage" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this disclosure based on the specific circumstances.

[0029] In the description of this embodiment, terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of description and simplification of operation, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this disclosure.

[0030] Furthermore, in the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0031] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this illustration depicts a fiber optic distribution box with a detachable backplate according to an embodiment of this disclosure. The fiber optic distribution box 1 includes a first box 101 and a second box 102. The first box 101 is hinged to the second box 102 via a hinge. It also includes a snap-fit ​​base 2, a snap-fit ​​plate 3, snap-fit ​​components, and an adjustment mechanism. In contrast, in the prior art, the backplate of the fiber optic distribution box is an integral structure with the fiber optic distribution box. When maintenance is required on the equipment or lines inside the fiber optic distribution box, the backplate will obstruct the staff from observing the wiring inside the fiber optic distribution box, making it inconvenient for the staff to access the equipment inside the fiber optic distribution box. Regarding the technical issues of maintenance and repair of the line, in this embodiment, the installation or removal of the backplate 4 is achieved through the cooperative use of the snap-fit ​​socket 2, snap-fit ​​plate 3 and snap-fit ​​component. This allows the staff to install or remove the backplate 4 as needed, thereby facilitating the maintenance and repair of the equipment or lines inside the optical cable distribution box. The snap-fit ​​status of the snap-fit ​​component is adjusted through the adjustment mechanism, allowing the staff to adjust the snap-fit ​​status of the snap-fit ​​component as needed, thereby enabling the quick installation or removal of the backplate 4 and facilitating the operation of the device by the staff.

[0032] like Figures 1-3 As shown, two snap-fit ​​seats 2 are installed inside the second housing 102, arranged symmetrically. A snap-fit ​​plate 3 is inserted into the snap-fit ​​seat 2. A back plate 4 is mounted on the snap-fit ​​plate 3 via an L-shaped plate. A support plate 6 is installed inside the second housing 102, and the back plate 4 is placed on the support plate 6. The support plate 6 supports the back plate 4 during installation, ensuring its stability. A positioning rod 7 is installed on one side of the back plate 4. The positioning rod 7 can be inserted into the sleeve inside the second housing 102 during installation, achieving rapid positioning of the back plate 4 and ensuring its installation effect. The back plate 4 can be quickly installed at the snap-fit ​​seat 2 via the snap-fit ​​plate 3, thus achieving rapid installation. The snap-fit ​​component is movably disposed inside the snap-fit ​​seat 2 via an adjustment mechanism connected to the inner wall of the second housing 102. Figure 4As shown, the adjustment mechanism includes a housing 201, an adjusting rod 202, a sliding plate 203, and a return spring 204. Slide rails 5 are installed on both sides inside the housing 201. The slide rails 5 are I-shaped. The sliding plate 203 is slidably connected to the slide rails 5, which limit the sliding of the sliding plate 203, thus ensuring its stability during sliding. The locking component includes a connecting rod 301, a mounting plate 302, and a locking block 303. The adjustment mechanism can adjust the locking state of the locking component, thereby achieving quick locking or... The snap-fit ​​is eliminated, thus enabling quick disassembly of the back plate 4. A snap-fit ​​groove is provided on one side of the snap-fit ​​plate 3, and the width of the snap-fit ​​groove is adapted to the width of the snap-fit ​​block 303. The snap-fit ​​block 303 can snap-fit ​​with the snap-fit ​​plate 3 through the snap-fit ​​groove, thereby realizing the snap-fit ​​between the snap-fit ​​plate 3 and the snap-fit ​​component. A movable opening is provided on one side of the snap-fit ​​base 2, and the width of the movable opening is adapted to the width of the mounting plate 302. When adjusting the snap-fit ​​state of the snap-fit ​​block 303, the mounting plate 302 and the snap-fit ​​block 303 move inside the movable opening.

[0033] Working principle:

[0034] When the backplate 4 needs to be installed, the staff opens the optical fiber distribution box 1. After opening, the staff places the backplate 4 on the support plate 6. During the placement process, the insertion positioning rod 7 is inserted into the sleeve inside the second box 102. The snap-fit ​​plate 3 is inserted into the snap-fit ​​seat 2 under the action of the backplate 4. During the insertion process, the snap-fit ​​plate 3 pushes the snap-fit ​​component to move inward. The snap-fit ​​component drives the sliding plate 203 to slide inward along the slide rail 5. During the sliding process, the sliding plate 203 compresses the return spring 204. When the snap-fit ​​block 303 collides with the snap-fit ​​groove opened on the snap-fit ​​plate 3, the sliding plate 203 slides outward along the slide rail 5 under the action of the return spring 204. The sliding plate 203 drives the mounting plate 302 to move into the snap-fit ​​seat 2 through the connecting rod 301. The mounting plate 302 drives the snap-fit ​​block 303 to snap into the snap-fit ​​groove on the snap-fit ​​plate 3, thereby realizing the installation of the backplate 4.

[0035] When it is necessary to disassemble the backplate 4, the operator pulls the adjusting rod 202 to move it inward. The adjusting rod 202 drives the sliding plate 203 to move inward along the slide rail 5. The sliding plate 203 drives the snap-fit ​​block 303 to move inward through the connecting rod 301 and the mounting plate 302, thereby canceling the snap-fit ​​between the snap-fit ​​block 303 and the snap-fit ​​plate 3. After the snap-fit ​​is canceled, the operator can remove the backplate 4 from the optical fiber distribution box 1, thus realizing the quick disassembly of the backplate 4.

[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.
