Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments disclosed herein relate to the field of optical cable junction box technology, and more specifically, to a pressure-resistant and drop-resistant optical cable junction box. Background Technology

[0002] Fiber optic splice closures, also known as fiber optic junction boxes or fiber optic splice boxes, are key devices used to protect fiber optic splice points. Their main function is to fix the fiber optic cable and protect the splice from the influence of the external environment, thereby ensuring the stable transmission of optical signals. They can connect the fiber cores of two or more fiber optic cables and provide physical protection for the connection point, avoiding mechanical damage and environmental corrosion.

[0003] Because fiber optic junction boxes are usually installed in outdoor environments such as walls or pipes, they are easily knocked to the ground or damaged by strong winds or bird strikes. Existing fiber optic junction boxes lack external protective devices and simply place the fiber optic cable inside the box. Therefore, when the outside of the junction box is damaged, the internal fiber optic cable will also be damaged to some extent. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, embodiments of this disclosure provide a pressure-resistant and drop-resistant optical cable junction box, which solves the technical problem that the surface of the optical cable junction box is damaged when it is impacted or dropped, and the internal optical cable connectors are easily damaged.

[0005] According to one aspect, at least one embodiment of this disclosure provides a pressure-resistant and drop-resistant optical cable junction box, including a junction box composed of an upper junction box and a lower junction box, and further including protective covers, fixing components, and side protection components. Two protective covers are provided, and the two protective covers are respectively mounted on the upper junction box and the lower junction box by mounting components. The fixing components are provided on the mounting components for fixing the protective covers on the upper junction box and the lower junction box. Four side protection components are provided, and the four side protection components are arranged in pairs, with two pairs of side protection components respectively disposed on the sides of the two protective covers.

[0006] Furthermore, the mounting assembly includes mounting brackets and mounting rods. Several mounting brackets are provided, and the mounting brackets are fixedly installed on both sides of the upper connector half box and the lower connector half box. Several mounting rods are provided, and the mounting rods are fixedly installed on both sides of the two protective covers.

[0007] In order to enable the mounting rod to be installed on the mounting bracket, the mounting bracket is further provided with a slot, and the mounting rod is adapted to the slot of the mounting bracket.

[0008] Furthermore, the fixing component includes a fixing block and a fixing frame. The fixing blocks are fixedly installed on both sides of the protective cover, and a number of fixing rods are fixedly installed on the side of the fixing frame. The fixing rods are detachably installed inside the fixing blocks.

[0009] Furthermore, the side protection assembly includes a sliding block, a sliding rod, and a protective cover. The sliding block is fixedly installed on the side of the protective cover, and a sliding groove is provided on the side of the sliding block. One end of the sliding rod is slidably installed in the sliding block, and the protective cover is fixedly installed on the other end of the sliding rod.

[0010] In order to secure the protective cover, the top of the fixing bracket and the fixing rod are provided with threaded holes, and the bolts are threaded into the threaded holes.

[0011] In order to fix the protective cover, the sliding block and the sliding rod are further provided with threaded holes on their sides, and two bolts are installed in the threaded holes.

[0012] In order to ensure that the optical cable is not blocked by the protective cover and the protective shield during connection, the upper connector half box and the lower connector half box are further provided with cable inlet holes on their sides, and the protective cover and the protective shield are provided with cable inlet holes that are consistent with the sides of the upper connector half box and the lower connector half box.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the embodiments disclosed herein are as follows:

[0014] 1. In this disclosure, the protective cover can be installed on the upper connector half box and the lower connector half box by means of the mounting components, thereby protecting the sides of the upper connector half box and the lower connector half box. In the event of an impact or fall, the protective cover is damaged first, thereby protecting the connector box.

[0015] 2. In this disclosure, after the upper and lower connector half-boxes are protected, the sides of the upper and lower connector half-boxes can be further protected by the side protection components.

[0016] In summary, through the cooperation of the protective cover, fixing components, and side protection components, this junction box can protect the top, bottom, and sides of the junction box, thus protecting the junction box from immediate damage when it is impacted or dropped.

[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.

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 1-6 As shown, a pressure-resistant and drop-resistant optical cable junction box according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is illustrated. The junction box 1 includes a junction box 1, which is composed of an upper junction box 2 and a lower junction box 3. It also includes a protective cover 4, a fixing component, and a side protection component. Two protective covers 4 are provided, which are respectively mounted on the upper junction box 2 and the lower junction box 3 by mounting components. The mounting components are provided with fixing components for fixing the protective covers 4 on the upper junction box 2 and the lower junction box 3. Four side protection components are provided, which are arranged in pairs. The two pairs of side protection components are respectively arranged on the sides of the two protective covers 4.

[0032] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, before using the optical cable junction box 1, the protective cover 4 can be installed above and below the upper junction box 2 and the lower junction box 3 using the installation assembly, thereby covering them. The installation assembly includes a mounting bracket 5 and mounting rods 6. Several mounting brackets 5 are provided, and mounting brackets 5 are fixedly installed on both sides of the upper junction box 2 and the lower junction box 3. Several mounting rods 6 are provided, and mounting rods 6 are fixedly installed on both sides of the two protective covers 4. Specifically, because the mounting bracket 5 has slots, and the mounting rods 6 are compatible with the slots of the mounting bracket 5, during installation, the protective cover 4 can be held to drive several mounting rods 6 to be inserted into the slots of several mounting blocks respectively. After insertion, it can be fixed by the fixing assembly, which includes fixing blocks 7 and fixing brackets 8. Both sides of the protective cover 4 are fixedly installed with fixing blocks 7. Several fixing rods 14 are fixedly installed on the side of the fixing frame 8, and the fixing rods 14 can be detachably installed in the fixing blocks 7. Specifically, the fixing frame 8 is moved, and since there are several fixing rods 14 on the side of the fixing frame 8, the fixing rods 14 are inserted into the fixing blocks 7 respectively. It should be added that the sides of the mounting frame 5 and the mounting rod 6 are also provided with slots, and the other fixing rods 14 are simultaneously inserted into the slots of the mounting frame 5 and the mounting rod 6. Since the top of the fixing frame 8 and the fixing rod 14 are provided with threaded holes, and the bolt 12 is threaded into the threaded holes, the bolt 12 is threaded into the threaded holes of the fixing frame 8 and the fixing rod 14 to fix them, thereby limiting the protective cover 4 and protecting the upper connector half box 2 and the lower connector half box 3.

[0033] like Figure 6 As shown, after the top and bottom of the junction box 1 are protected, the sides of the junction box 1 can be protected by the side protection assembly. The side protection assembly includes a sliding block 9, a sliding rod 10, and a protective cover 11. The sliding block 9 is fixedly installed on the side of the protective cover 4, and a groove is provided on the side of the sliding block 9. One end of the sliding rod 10 is slidably installed in the sliding block 9, and the protective cover 11 is fixedly installed on the other end of the sliding rod 10. Specifically, the protective cover 11 is slidably installed in the groove of the sliding block 9 through the sliding rod 10, so that the two protective covers 11 on the same side of the junction box 1 are fitted together, thereby protecting the sides of the junction box 1. Furthermore, the sides of the sliding block 9 and the sliding rod 10 are provided with threaded holes, and bolts 13 are threaded into the threaded holes. The bolts 13 are threaded into the threaded holes of the sliding rod and the sliding rod 10, thereby fixing the protective cover 11.

[0034] Because both the upper connector half-box 2 and the lower connector half-box 3 have inlet holes on their sides, and the protective cover 4 and the protective cover 11 have inlet holes on their sides that are consistent with the sides of the upper connector half-box 2 and the lower connector half-box 3, the optical cable can be connected inside the connector box 1 by entering through the inlet holes before the protective cover 11 and the protective cover 4 are fixed.

[0035] Working principle: When using the optical cable junction box 1, the protective cover 4 is held to drive several mounting rods 6 into the slots of several mounting blocks. After insertion, the fixing frame 8 can be moved to insert several fixing rods 14 on the side of the fixing frame 8 into the fixing blocks 7. After insertion, bolt 12 is threaded into the threaded holes of the fixing frame 8 and the fixing rod 14 to fix it, thereby limiting the protective cover 4 and protecting the upper junction box 2 and the lower junction box 3. Then, the protective cover 11 is slidably installed in the sliding groove of the sliding block 9 through the sliding rod 10, so that the two protective covers 11 on the same side of the junction box 1 fit together, thereby protecting both sides of the junction box 1. In addition, the sides of the sliding block 9 and the sliding rod 10 are provided with threaded holes, and bolt 2 13 is threaded in the threaded holes. Bolt 2 13 is threaded into the threaded holes of the sliding rod and the sliding rod 10 to fix the protective cover 11. At this time, all four sides of the junction box 1 are protected by the protective cover 11 and the protective cover 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.
