Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a fiber storage box for pigtails, and more particularly to a fiber storage box that can help organize pigtails. Background Technology

[0002] A fiber optic storage box is a device used to store and manage fiber optic pigtails, commonly used in fiber optic communications, optical networks, and data centers. In fiber optic communications and networks, fiber optic storage boxes are widely used to facilitate the connection, management, and maintenance of optical fibers. Fiber optic storage boxes provide a centralized location for storing and protecting optical fibers, preventing damage or contamination. They also help organize and manage optical fibers, making them easier to connect and maintain. In practical applications, network equipment rooms often have a large number of fiber optic pigtails used to connect servers, switches, and other network devices. Traditional fiber optic storage boxes can help store a large number of pigtails, but the loops often have several pigtails tangled together, resulting in a messy distribution of the pigtails. Even with labels, it's difficult to distinguish the paths, making it ineffective for fiber management. This significantly increases the difficulty of finding specific pigtails for maintenance or repair, reducing maintainability and creating challenges for later maintenance work. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fiber optic storage box that allows fiber optic pigtails to be stored in batches on various winding boards, avoiding cross-linking and tangling of the pigtails and improving the neatness of the wiring inside the storage box.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A pigtail storage box includes a box body, wherein multiple nylon guide grooves are provided inside the box body, and each of the nylon guide grooves is equipped with a winding plate for storing pigtails.

[0006] Furthermore, each of the nylon guide groove groups includes two nylon guide grooves, one of which is disposed on the top plate of the box and the other is disposed on the bottom plate of the box; the winding plate is disposed between the two nylon guide grooves.

[0007] Furthermore, one end of the nylon guide groove is provided with a buckle for engaging with the box body, and the other end is provided with a track; the winding plate is inserted into the track, and the winding plate can move along the track setting direction in the track.

[0008] Furthermore, the top and bottom plates of the box are provided with through holes that are compatible with the buckle.

[0009] Furthermore, the buckle has a deformation groove; during installation, the buckle will undergo elastic deformation under the action of force.

[0010] Furthermore, the snap fastener includes a ball head and a connecting post; the ball head is connected to the connecting post, and the ball head is located at the top of the connecting post.

[0011] Furthermore, two winding grooves are provided on both sides of the winding plate, and the two winding grooves are arranged vertically.

[0012] Furthermore, a cable inlet hole is provided on the side plate of the box.

[0013] Furthermore, the back panel of the box is provided with reinforcing plates on both sides, and the reinforcing plates are provided with first fixing holes.

[0014] Furthermore, a second fixing hole is also provided on the back plate of the box.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0016] This invention allows each winding board to be independently inserted into a nylon guide slot, making it easier for maintenance personnel to insert, remove, and maintain fiber optic pigtails, reducing maintenance time and costs. Separating and storing several pigtails on each winding board ensures orderly arrangement, preventing messy wiring within the fiber storage box and improving neatness. Furthermore, the smaller number of pigtails on each winding board allows for quick location of the corresponding pigtail during equipment maintenance, reducing the risk of incorrect insertion / removal and damage, improving system stability and reliability, and increasing work efficiency. This invention's orderly storage of pigtails on the winding boards facilitates worker retrieval, improving both equipment stability and work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0017] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a fiber storage box for pigtails.

[0018] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the box.

[0019] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a winding board.

[0020] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a nylon guide groove. Detailed Implementation

[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, a pigtail storage box includes a box body 1. Multiple nylon guide groove groups are arranged inside the box body 1, and each nylon guide groove group is equipped with a winding plate 2 for storing pigtails. An inlet hole 3 is provided on the side plate of the box body 1. Two winding grooves 4 are provided on each side of the winding plate 2, arranged vertically. The pigtails enter the box body 1 through the inlet hole 3 and are separately stored on the winding plate 2, wound around the winding grooves 4, which effectively prevent the pigtails from falling out. Each winding plate 2 stores a small number of pigtails, and workers attach labels to each pigtail, which greatly reduces the time spent searching for each corresponding pigtail and improves the accuracy of plugging and unplugging each pigtail. For example, existing fiber storage boxes typically have only two fiber post, each with 30 or more pigtails wound around it. All pigtails entering the storage box are wound around the post. To find the earliest pigtail wound on the post, at least 20 pigtails need to be unwound, or even all pigtails need to be unwound from the post. This device, however, has sixteen winding plates 2 inside the box 1, also holding 60 pigtails. Each winding plate 2 only needs to hold 4 pigtails. Even if the earliest pigtail needs to be found, at most 3 more pigtails need to be unwound, or even no additional pigtails need to be processed. This significantly reduces the time spent by staff searching for pigtails and improves the efficiency of pigtail maintenance.

[0022] Each of the nylon guide groove groups includes two nylon guide grooves 5, one of which is located on the top plate of the housing 1, and the other is located on the bottom plate of the housing 1. The winding plate 2 is located between the two nylon guide grooves 5. One end of each nylon guide groove 5 is provided with a buckle 6 for engaging with the housing 1, and the other end is provided with a track 7. The winding plate 2 is inserted into the track 7 and can move along the track 7 in the direction set by the track 7. The nylon guide grooves 5 are installed on the housing 1 by the buckle 6. If a set of nylon guide grooves 5 is damaged, it can be removed from the housing 1 for replacement without the need for overall repair of the housing 1. When storing the pigtail on the winding plate 2, because the cavity volume of the housing 1 is small, i.e., the working space is insufficient, the winding plate 2 can be pulled out from the nylon guide groove 5 first, then the pigtail can be stored on the winding plate 2, and finally the winding plate 2 can be inserted into the nylon guide groove 5 to complete the storage of the winding plate 2. The independently pluggable winding board 2 makes the storage of optical fiber pigtails more flexible, making it easier for users to plug, unplug, and replace cables, thus improving the ease of operation.

[0023] like Figure 4As shown, reinforcing plates 9 are provided on both sides of the back panel of the box body 1. First fixing holes 10 are provided on the reinforcing plates 9 for fixing the box body 1. Through holes adapted to the buckle 6 are provided on both the top and bottom plates of the box body 1. The buckle 6 has a deformation groove; during installation, the buckle 6 will undergo elastic deformation under force. The buckle 6 includes a ball head 61 and a connecting post 62; the ball head 61 is connected to the connecting post 62, and the ball head 61 is located at the top of the connecting post 62. When the nylon guide groove 5 is installed and the buckle 6 passes through the through hole, the ball head 61 contacts the edge of the through hole. Under the action of external force, the ball head 61 and the connecting post 62 will move towards the center. After the ball head 61 reaches the designated position, it will return to its initial state and prevent the nylon guide groove 5 from falling off. Figure 2 As shown, a second fixing hole 8 is also provided on the back plate of the box body 1.

[0024] Of course, the above description is not intended to limit the present utility model, and the present utility model is not limited to the examples given above. Any changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present utility model should also fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
