Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of optical fiber communication, in particular to a multi-layer support device for heat dissipation of the fusion termination of a butterfly optical cable. Background Art
[0002] In the prior art, the heat dissipation and solidification of the fusion termination of a butterfly optical cable rely on the heat dissipation support supporting a fusion machine. However, the traditional heat dissipation support generally has the following technical bottlenecks:
[0003] Insufficient heat dissipation capacity due to a single-layer planar structure: Existing supports usually adopt a single-layer or simple double-layer design, and can only place 1 to 2 termination parts at the same time. With the increasing demand for high-density wiring in FTTH projects, the limitation of the number of terminations processed by single-time heat dissipation significantly reduces the construction efficiency. Especially in the scenario of large-scale centralized fusion splicing, frequent repeated operations are required, which is time-consuming and laborious.
[0004] Adhesion problems caused by lack of hierarchical isolation design: When trying to place multiple terminations on a traditional support, due to the lack of an effective physical isolation structure between adjacent terminations, the epidermis material of the optical cable after fusion (such as a low-melting-point sheath) is likely to adhere due to the conduction of residual heat. After heat dissipation and solidification, the adhered terminations are difficult to separate, which may not only cause damage to the optical fiber epidermis, but also require additional time for repair, seriously affecting the subsequent construction progress.
[0005] Insufficient heat dissipation efficiency and structural stability: The placement grooves of traditional supports are mostly simple straight groove designs, without considering the optimization of the heat diffusion path, resulting in local heat accumulation at the fusion points, prolonging the heat dissipation and solidification time. At the same time, the connection method between the support and the optical fiber fusion machine is mostly fixed, which is inconvenient to disassemble and cannot be adjusted according to the sizes of different models of fusion machines, and has poor versatility.
[0006] Although there are some improvement schemes in the prior art to increase the capacity by increasing the number of layers, such schemes generally do not solve the isolation problem of adjacent terminations in the multi-layer structure, and the detachable property and positioning accuracy of the multi-layer support are insufficient, which easily causes the optical cable to be placed obliquely, further increasing the adhesion risk. Therefore, how to design a heat dissipation support that can achieve multi-layer independent heat dissipation, effectively avoid the adhesion of terminations, and at the same time has a detachable and adjustable function has become an urgent technical problem to be solved in the current process of the fusion termination of butterfly optical cables.

[0032] This embodiment of a butterfly-shaped optical cable thermal fusion termination heat dissipation multilayer support device includes: a placement pressure plate 1, an optical fiber placement component 2, and multiple partitions 3.
[0033] The fiber optic placement component 2 is fixedly disposed on the upper part of the placement pressure plate 1, and it consists of a connecting plate 21, a placement plate 22, and a placement frame 23. One side of the placement plate 22 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate 21, while the bottom of the connecting plate 21 is connected to one side of the placement pressure plate 1. The placement frame 23 is fixedly disposed on both sides of the placement plate 22, and a first placement groove 231 is formed along its height direction. The extension direction of the placement pressure plate 1 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the connecting plate 21. This design gives the fiber optic placement component 2 a stable structure, which can provide reliable support for the placement of the butterfly optical cable.
[0034] Multiple partitions 3 are fixedly installed on both sides of the optical fiber placement component 2. The bottom of the multiple partitions 3 is detachably connected to the bottom of the placement frame 23. Several second placement slots 31 are provided on the multiple partitions 3 along their thickness direction. These second placement slots 31 are arranged at equal intervals along the height direction of the multiple partitions 3 and face away from the placement pressure plate 1. A protruding structure is formed between adjacent second placement slots 31. The protruding structure can limit and support the butterfly optical cable to a certain extent, preventing the optical cable from shifting or shaking during operation.
[0035] Preferably, the butterfly-shaped optical cable can be placed in the second placement slot 31 and the first placement slot 231. The first placement slot 231 is formed by a main slot located at the bottom and a branch slot located above the main slot. The diameter of the branch slot increases linearly from the bottom to the top. This structural design allows the first placement slot 231 to better adapt to the shape and size of the butterfly-shaped optical cable, providing a more fitting placement space for the optical cable and facilitating its fixation and protection.
[0036] Preferably, the termination and heat dissipation parts of some butterfly optical cables can be placed into one of the second placement slots 31 first, and then heat fusion termination processing can be performed. After the termination operation of the butterfly optical cable in one second placement slot 31 is completed, the termination and heat dissipation parts of other butterfly optical cables can be placed into other second placement slots 31 in sequence. Since the second placement slots 31 are arranged at equal intervals along the height direction of the multi-stage partitions 3, this multi-layer structure design can effectively improve the space utilization rate and can perform termination operations on multiple butterfly optical cables at the same time in a limited space, which greatly improves the work efficiency.
[0037] Preferably, the multi-partition partition 3 includes: a first partition 32, a second partition 33, and a third partition 34;
[0038] The top of the first partition 32 is fixedly connected to one side of the second partition 33, the other side of the second partition 33 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the third partition 34, the second placement groove 31 is opened on the third partition 34, and one side of the first partition 32 is detachably connected to the bottom outer side of the placement frame 23.
[0039] Preferably, a first threaded hole is provided on the bottom outer side of the placement frame 23, and a second threaded hole is provided on the first partition 32 along its thickness direction. The diameters of the first threaded hole and the second threaded hole are the same. By passing bolts through the second threaded hole and the first threaded hole in sequence, the placement frame 23 and the first partition 32 can be fixed relative to each other. This detachable connection method makes it easy to adjust the position of the multi-level partitions 3 according to actual needs, thereby improving the flexibility and versatility of the device.
[0040] Preferably, the pressure plate 1 has bolt fixing holes 11 along its thickness direction. The pressure plate 1 can be detachably installed in the fiber optic fusion splicer through the bolt fixing holes 11, which facilitates the installation and disassembly of the device and makes it easy to use in different working scenarios.
[0041] Preferably, a through groove 232 is also provided on the placement frame 23 along its width direction, and the through groove 232 is connected to the first placement groove 231. The design of this through groove 232 can further increase the ventilation of the placement frame 23, which is conducive to heat dissipation of the butterfly optical cable during the termination process, and improves the service life and performance of the optical cable.
[0042] Preferably, the width of the first partition 32 of the multi-partition 3 is greater than the width of the third partition 34.
[0043] In use, firstly, the placement pressure plate 1 is detachably installed in the fiber optic fusion splicer through its bolt fixing holes 11, ensuring the device is stable and easy to operate. Then, the termination and heat dissipation portion of the butterfly optical cable is placed in the second placement slot 31 of the multi-stage partition 3 and the first placement slot 231 of the fiber optic placement component 2. Specifically, first, a portion of the termination and heat dissipation portion of the butterfly optical cable is placed in one of the second placement slots 31, and then placed in the first placement slot 231 for thermal fusion termination. After completing the termination operation of the butterfly optical cable in one second placement slot 31, the termination and heat dissipation portions of other butterfly optical cables are placed sequentially into other second placement slots 31. Due to the multiple... The two placement slots 31 are arranged at equal intervals along the height direction of the multi-stage partition 3. This multi-layer structure design can effectively improve space utilization and enable the simultaneous termination operation of multiple butterfly optical cables in a limited space, greatly improving work efficiency. At the same time, the through slot 232 on the placement frame 23 is connected to the first placement slot 231, which can increase the ventilation of the placement frame 23, which is conducive to heat dissipation of the butterfly optical cable during the termination process, and improves the service life and performance of the optical cable. The bottom of the multi-stage partition 3 is detachably connected to the bottom of the placement frame 23. When necessary, the multi-stage partition 3 can be installed according to the actual situation to better meet the placement requirements of the heat dissipation part of the butterfly optical cable termination.
[0044] In this invention, the second placement slots, equidistantly arranged along the height direction on the multi-level partitions, can accommodate multiple butterfly optical cables within a limited space, significantly improving space utilization and work efficiency. Secondly, the unique main and branch slot structure of the first placement slot provides stable support while ensuring effective heat dissipation during cable termination, extending the cable's lifespan. Furthermore, the through slots on the placement frame enhance ventilation and further optimize heat dissipation. The detachable connection between the multi-level partitions and the placement frame, as well as the bolt fixing method between the placement pressure plate and the fiber optic fusion splicer, give the device high flexibility and versatility, facilitating adjustment and installation according to actual needs.
