Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fiber optic distribution frame technology, specifically a rotary fiber optic distribution frame. Background Technology
[0002] In the original communication network, optical fiber is mainly used for relay transmission, undertaking optical communication transmission between central offices or between the central office and nodes. Both ends require photoelectric signal conversion equipment, while the transmission from the central office to the user end is through Category 5 cable or twisted pair copper cable, forming a communication transmission network to realize the functions of audio communication and ADSL Internet connection.
[0003] Currently, fiber optic patch panels are fixedly installed inside patch cabinets. While existing fiber optic patch panels can be rotated horizontally for easy rerouting and maintenance of the fiber optic cables, this is limited to horizontal rotation. Given the varying heights of existing fiber optic patch cabinets (some reaching 1.8–2 meters), their high installation position makes rerouting and maintenance inconvenient, often requiring climbing to the work area. Therefore, we propose a rotating fiber optic patch panel. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a rotating fiber optic distribution frame, which solves the problems mentioned in the background section.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a rotary fiber optic distribution frame, comprising a housing, a frame body slidably mounted inside the housing, pull-out grooves on both sides of the housing's inner walls, and J-shaped limiting grooves on both sides of the housing's inner walls above the pull-out grooves, rotating ears fixedly mounted on both sides of the frame body, a sliding pin fixedly mounted on one side of each rotating ear, the sliding pin being slidably connected to the pull-out groove, and a rotation limiting pin fixedly mounted on one side of each rotating ear above the sliding pin, the rotation limiting pin being slidably connected to the J-shaped limiting groove.
[0006] Furthermore, a notch is provided at the bottom of one side of the housing, the frame body fits into the notch, and an mounting plate is fixedly installed at the top of one side of the frame body, with several fiber optic connectors provided inside the mounting plate.

[0012] This utility model provides a rotating fiber optic distribution frame, which has the following advantages:
[0013] This rotating fiber optic distribution frame, with its pull-out slot, J-shaped limiting slot, rotating lug, sliding pin, and rotating limiting pin, allows for easy rewiring and maintenance of the fiber optic cables. Partially pulling out the frame allows the sliding pin to slide within the pull-out slot, enabling the frame to be horizontally pulled out of the housing for easy rewiring and maintenance. For taller cables, the entire frame can be pulled out of the housing, allowing the rotating limiting pin to slide within the J-shaped limiting slot, causing the frame to rotate downwards around the sliding pin as an axis, facilitating rewiring and maintenance of taller fibers. This design offers greater convenience and speed, along with high compatibility. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0021] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a rotating fiber optic distribution frame, including a housing 1, a frame 2 slidably installed inside the housing 1, pull-out grooves 3 are provided on the inner walls of both sides of the housing 1, and J-shaped limiting grooves 4 are provided on the inner walls of both sides of the housing 1 above the pull-out grooves 3, rotating ears 5 are fixedly installed on both sides of the frame 2, a sliding pin 6 is fixedly installed on one side of the rotating ear 5, the sliding pin 6 is slidably connected to the pull-out groove 3, and a rotating limiting pin 7 is fixedly installed on one side of the rotating ear 5 above the sliding pin 6, the rotating limiting pin 7 is slidably connected to the J-shaped limiting groove 4. When the frame 2 is pulled, the sliding pin 6 slides in the pull-out groove 3, and the rotating limiting pin 7 slides in the J-shaped limiting groove 4. When the sliding pin 6 slides to one side of the pull-out groove 3, the housing 1 will no longer overlap the frame 2. Then the frame 2 can be flipped down through the notch 8 so that the whole body rotates around the sliding pin 6 as the axis. At the same time, the rotating limiting pin 7 slides to one side of the J-shaped limiting groove 4 and then the rotating limiting pin 7 limits the J-shaped limiting groove 4 to fix the frame 2 at the angle after rotation. This can realize the downward rotation of the frame 2, which is convenient for the rerouting and maintenance of high-altitude optical fibers.
[0022] A notch 8 is provided at the bottom of one side of the housing 1. The frame 2 mates with the notch 8. A mounting plate 9 is fixedly installed at the top of one side of the frame 2. Several fiber optic connectors are provided inside the mounting plate 9. The notch 8 allows the frame 2 to rotate downwards at a certain angle from the inside of the notch 8. The fiber optic connectors facilitate the connection of optical fibers to the frame 1.
[0023] Connecting ears 11 are fixedly installed on both sides of the mounting plate 9. A plug rod 12 is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting ear 11. A buckle 13 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the plug rod 12. Two slots 14 are opened inside one side of the housing 1. The buckle 13 cooperates with the slots 14. A sliding groove 15 is opened inside the housing 1 and below the slots 14. A slider 16 is slidably installed inside the sliding groove 15. A limit buckle 17 is fixedly installed on the top of the slider 16. The buckle 13 cooperates with the limit buckle 17. A spring 18 is provided inside the sliding groove 15. A through groove 19 is opened inside the housing 1 and on one side of the sliding groove 15. A pull plate 20 is fixedly installed on one side of the slider 16. The pull plate 20 is slidably connected to the through groove 19. With the configuration of the plug-in rod 12, buckle 13, slider 16, limit buckle 17, spring 18, and pull plate 20, when the frame 2 is pushed into the housing 1, the plug-in rod 12 and buckle 13 are inserted into the slot 14. When buckle 13 contacts limit buckle 17, it pushes slider 16 and limit buckle 17 down to squeeze spring 18. When buckle 13 moves to the side of limit buckle 17, spring 18 rebounds and pushes slider 16 and limit buckle 17 to reset. Buckle 13 can then be locked by limit buckle 17. When it is necessary to contact the limit of plug-in rod 12, simply pull down pull plate 20 to move slider 16 and limit buckle 17 down to release limit buckle 17 from buckle 13. Then the frame 2 can be pulled out from the inside of housing 1 for rewiring, maintenance, and other operations.
[0024] Mounting ears 21 are provided on both sides of the housing 1. The housing 1 can be installed and fixed in the wiring cabinet by screws using the mounting ears 21.
[0025] The top of the frame 2 is equipped with a fiber optic spool 10, and the outer side of the spool 10 is provided with a winding groove. The spool 10 can be used to wind and limit the reserved length of optical fiber, improving its neatness.
[0026] An internal through hole is provided inside the housing 1, located in the middle of the slot 14 and the slide 15, to cooperate with the limiting buckle 17. The limiting buckle 17 is slidably connected to the through hole. By providing an internal through hole for the limiting buckle 17, the limiting buckle 17 can slide up and down, thereby limiting and releasing the buckle 13.
[0027] The slider 16 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove 15, and the slider 16 cooperates with the spring 18. By setting the spring 18, its own elasticity can push the slider 16 and the limit buckle 17 upward, so that the limit buckle 17 can lock the buckle 13 in place.
[0028] In summary, when using this rotating fiber optic distribution frame, if it is necessary to reroute or repair the fiber optic cable on the frame 2, firstly, by pulling down the pull plates 20 on both sides of the housing 1, the slider 16 and the limit buckle 17 are moved down. The limit buckle 17 releases the limit on the latch 13. Then, by pulling the mounting plate 9, the frame 2 can be pulled out from one side of the housing 1. When the frame 2 is pulled out, the sliding pin 6 slides in the pull-out groove 3 and the limit pin 7 slides in the J-shaped limit groove 4. When the sliding pin 6 slides to one side of the pull-out groove 3, the frame 2 can be rotated around the sliding pin 6 as the axis. Thus, rotating the limit pin 7 in the J-shaped limit groove 4 will cause the frame 2 to rotate downward by a certain angle. Then, the fiber optic cable on the frame 2 can be rerouted or repaired. The operation is convenient and quick, and it is suitable for different height positions.
[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
