Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of railway communication transmission equipment, and in particular to a light-emitting coaxial connector for digital distribution frames. Background Technology
[0002] Conventional railway communication transmission equipment generally adopts synchronous digital transmission system. The interfaces of the equipment output board are 2M connectors, Ethernet electrical ports and Ethernet optical ports. Among them, digital modems, ONUs and wireless equipment all use 2M connectors to interconnect with the transmission equipment. The 2M cable is terminated to the digital distribution frame through coaxial cable. The digital distribution frame enables the connection of digital code streams of digital communication equipment into a whole. The digital distribution frame can terminate the input and output of signals with a rate of 2 Mb / s-155 Mb / s. The digital distribution frame brings flexibility and convenience to wiring, adjustment, switching and expansion.
[0003] However, the 2M connectors on the output board of the digital patch panel have no indicator lights. In daily troubleshooting and business investigation, the sending and receiving status is usually determined by the cooperation of operators and a multimeter. When operating alone, it is not possible to quickly determine the status of sending and receiving. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies where the 2M connector on the output board of a digital patch panel lacks an indicator light, making it difficult for a single person to quickly determine the status of sending and receiving signals. This invention provides an luminous coaxial connector for digital patch panels.
[0005] This utility model provides a light-emitting coaxial connector for digital patch panels, comprising:
[0006] The base body is provided with a first connector, a second connector and a light-emitting element, wherein the first connector and the second connector can be connected to a 2M connector respectively;
[0007] The light-emitting element is electrically connected to the first connector, and the second connector is electrically connected to the light-emitting element.
[0008] This invention relates to a light-emitting coaxial connector for digital patch panels. A first connector and a second connector can be connected to a pair of 2M connectors respectively. Both the first and second connectors are connected to a light-emitting element. Current flowing through the light-emitting element illuminates it, thereby indicating the status of transmitting and receiving signals. When the light-emitting element is emitting light, it is determined to be transmitting a signal; when the light-emitting element is not emitting light, it is determined to be receiving a signal. By utilizing the light-emitting characteristics of the light-emitting element, the transmitting and receiving status of the 2M connectors on the digital patch panel can be intuitively determined, enabling operators to quickly perform maintenance work on communication transmission equipment.
[0009] Preferably, the base is provided with a third connector, the third connector is detachably connected to the light-emitting element, the first connector is electrically connected to the third connector, the second connector is electrically connected to the third connector, and the light-emitting element is electrically connected to the third connector.
[0010] The third connector allows for detachable connection to the light-emitting element. During maintenance, the light-emitting element can be replaced to avoid misjudgments caused by damage to the light-emitting element. Replacing the light-emitting element is simpler and easier for operators to do than replacing the base, thus reducing replacement time.
[0011] Preferably, the light-emitting element includes a connector and a light-emitting column, the connector is rotatably connected to the light-emitting column, the connector is threadedly connected to the third connector, and the light-emitting column is electrically connected to the third connector.
[0012] The light-emitting column is securely fixed to the third connector by the connector thread, and it is easy to install and remove the light-emitting column from the third connector.
[0013] Preferably, the light-emitting column includes a housing and a light-emitting LED. The housing has a mounting cavity and an observation port. The observation port communicates with the mounting cavity. The light-emitting LED is nested in the mounting cavity. The light-emitting LED is electrically connected to the third connector. The connector is rotatably connected to the housing.
[0014] The light-emitting beads are light-emitting diodes or LED beads. For easy observation, red light-emitting beads are used. The housing blocks the ambient light around the light-emitting beads, making it easier for operators to observe the light emission of the light-emitting beads through the observation port.
[0015] Preferably, the housing includes a first cylindrical body and a second cylindrical body, the first cylindrical body and the second cylindrical body are detachably connected, the connecting member is rotatably connected to the first cylindrical body, the first cylindrical body is provided with the mounting cavity, and the second cylindrical body is provided with the observation port.
[0016] The first and second cylinders are detachably connected, making it easy to install the LED beads in the mounting cavity.

[0018] The first and second connectors can be connected synchronously to a pair of 2M connectors. By setting the light-emitting elements on both sides of the crossbeam, the light-emitting elements are kept away from the output plate, making it easier for operators to observe.
[0019] Preferably, the crossbeam includes a first expansion joint and a second expansion joint, the first expansion joint and the second expansion joint are slidably connected, the first joint is connected to the first expansion joint, the second joint is connected to the second expansion joint, and the light-emitting element is connected to the first expansion joint.
[0020] The sliding connection between the first and second telescopic joints allows for adjustment of the spacing between the first and second connectors, enabling it to be used with different types of cable outlets with inconsistent 2M connector spacing, thus improving the versatility of the luminous coaxial connectors used in digital patch panels.
[0021] Preferably, the crossbeam has a wiring cavity, the wiring cavity contains a cable, the cable is connected to the first connector, the cable is connected to the second connector, and the cable is connected to the light-emitting element.
[0022] The cable is hidden inside the crossbeam by means of a routing cavity, which prevents the cable from coming loose due to external force and causing the light-emitting component to stop emitting light.
[0023] Preferably, both the first connector and the second connector include a plug, the plug being connected to the base body, and a nut being rotatably connected to the plug for fitting and connecting with a 2M connector.
[0024] The nut is fitted onto the outer wall of the 2M connector, facilitating the installation and removal of the first and second connectors on the 2M connector.
[0025] Preferably, the base, the first connector, and the second connector are integrally formed structural components.
[0026] This prevents the first and second connectors from detaching from the base, thus improving the connection strength.
[0027] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0028] 1. This utility model provides a light-emitting coaxial connector for a digital patch panel. The first connector and the second connector can be connected to a pair of 2M connectors respectively. Both the first connector and the second connector are connected to a light-emitting element. The light-emitting element emits light when current passes through it, thereby determining the signal transmission and reception status. When the light-emitting element is emitting light, it is determined to be transmitting a signal; when the light-emitting element is not emitting light, it is determined to be receiving a signal. By utilizing the light-emitting characteristics of the light-emitting element, the signal transmission and reception status of the 2M connectors on the digital patch panel can be intuitively determined, enabling operators to quickly perform maintenance work on communication transmission equipment.
[0029] 2. This utility model provides a light-emitting coaxial connector for digital patch panels. It is synchronously connected to a pair of 2M connectors through a first connector and a second connector. The light-emitting status of the light-emitting element is used to monitor the transmission and reception status, which is convenient for operators to observe. This improves the maintenance efficiency of communication transmission equipment, reduces manpower consumption, and enables quick judgment of transmission and reception signals when operated by a single person. It has good economic and practical value. Attached Figure Description

[0044] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a light-emitting coaxial connector for a digital patch panel includes:
[0045] The base 3 is provided with a first connector 1, a second connector 2 and a light-emitting element 4. The first connector 1 and the second connector 2 can be connected to 2M connectors respectively.
[0046] The light-emitting element 4 is electrically connected to the first connector 1, and the second connector 2 is electrically connected to the light-emitting element 4.
[0047] The first connector 1 and the second connector 2 can be connected to a pair of 2M connectors respectively. Both the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 are connected to the light-emitting element 4. The light-emitting element 4 emits light when current passes through it, thereby determining the status of the transmitted and received signals. When the light-emitting element 4 emits light, it is determined to be a transmitted signal; when the light-emitting element 4 does not emit light, it is determined to be a received signal. By utilizing the light-emitting characteristics of the light-emitting element 4, the transmitted and received signal status of the 2M connectors on the digital patch panel can be intuitively determined, enabling operators to quickly perform maintenance work on the communication transmission equipment.
[0048] In one or more embodiments, the base 3 is provided with a third connector 5, which is detachably connected to the light-emitting element 4. After the third connector 5 is connected to the light-emitting element 4, the light-emitting element 4 is connected to the third connector 5. The first connector 1 is electrically connected to the third connector 5, and the second connector 2 is electrically connected to the third connector 5, so that the light-emitting element 4 can monitor the signal of a pair of 2M connectors. The light-emitting element 4 is electrically connected to the third connector 5.
[0049] In an optional embodiment, the light-emitting element 4 is composed of a connector 41 and a light-emitting column. The connector 41 is rotatably connected to the light-emitting column. An external thread is provided on the third connector 41, and an internal thread is provided on the connector 41. The external thread and the internal thread are adapted to each other, so that the connector 41 is threadedly connected to the third connector 5, and the light-emitting column is electrically connected to the third connector 5.
[0050] In an optional embodiment, the light-emitting column is composed of a housing 42 and a light-emitting lamp bead 43. The housing 42 is provided with a mounting cavity 44 and an observation port 45, so that the observation port 45 is connected to the mounting cavity 44. The light-emitting state of the light-emitting lamp bead 43 can be observed through the observation port 45. The light-emitting lamp bead 43 is nested in the mounting cavity 44, so that the housing 42 blocks the ambient light around the light-emitting lamp bead 43, thus avoiding the ambient light from affecting the observation of the light-emitting lamp bead 43. The light-emitting lamp bead 43 is electrically connected to the third connector 5, and the connector 41 is rotatably connected to the housing 42 to avoid the third connector 5 from being worn due to frequent rotation of the housing 42, which would cause poor contact of the light-emitting lamp bead 43.
[0051] In an optional embodiment, the housing 42 is composed of a first cylindrical body 422 and a second cylindrical body 421. The first cylindrical body 422 and the second cylindrical body 421 are detachably connected to facilitate the installation of the light-emitting lamp beads 43 in the mounting cavity 44, and the connecting piece 41 is rotatably connected to the first cylindrical body 422. The first cylindrical body 422 is provided with the mounting cavity 44, and the second cylindrical body 421 is adapted to be connected to the first cylindrical body 422. The second cylindrical body 421 is provided with an observation port 45 to facilitate the operator to observe the light-emitting status of the light-emitting lamp beads 43.
[0052] Specifically, the light-emitting lamp bead 43 is a light-emitting diode. One end of the light-emitting diode is soldered to the wire core set inside the first cylinder 422, and the other end is soldered to the outer wall of the first cylinder 422. After the first cylinder 422 and the second cylinder 421 are connected, they form the light-emitting element 4.
[0053] In one or more embodiments, the base 3 includes a crossbeam, with the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 located on the same side of the crossbeam, so that the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 can be synchronously connected to a pair of 2M connectors on the terminal block. The first connector 1 and the second connector 2 are spaced apart to adapt to the position of a pair of 2M connectors on the terminal block. The light-emitting element 4 and the first connector 1 are located on opposite sides of the crossbeam, so that the light-emitting element 4 is far away from the terminal block, making it easy for operators to visually observe the light-emitting state of the light-emitting element 4.
[0054] In an optional embodiment, the crossbeam is composed of a first expansion joint 31 and a second expansion joint 32, which are slidably connected. A first connector 1 is connected to the first expansion joint 31, and a second connector 2 is connected to the second expansion joint 32. By adjusting the relative position between the first expansion joint 31 and the second expansion joint 32, the position between the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 can be adjusted. The light-emitting element 4 is connected to the first expansion joint 31. When maintaining different types of equipment, the spacing between the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 is adjusted so that the spacing between the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 is adapted to the spacing of a pair of 2M connectors on different equipment, thereby improving the adaptability to different equipment.
[0055] In an optional embodiment, a wiring cavity 6 is provided inside the crossbeam, and a cable 7 is provided inside the wiring cavity 6. The cable 7 is hidden through the wiring cavity 6 to prevent the cable 7 from coming loose. The cable 7 is connected to the first connector 1, the second connector 2, and the light-emitting element 4.
[0056] In one or more embodiments, the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 are both inserts 11, the insert 11 is connected to the base 3, and a nut 12 is rotatably connected to the insert 11. The nut 12 is used to adapt and connect with the 2M connector.
[0057] In one or more embodiments, the base 3, the first connector 1, and the second connector 2 are integrally formed structural components, providing better connection strength.
[0058] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
