[0021] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs; the terminology used herein in the specification of the application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the application; the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, in the specification and the foregoing drawings of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification or the foregoing drawings of this application are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a particular order.

[0022] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0023] This utility model provides a novel waterproof fiber optic splice box, such as... Figure 1-6 As shown, the novel waterproof fiber optic splice box includes: a fiber optic splice box body 1 composed of a bottom shell 101 and a top cover 102, wherein a sealing ring 3 for waterproofing is provided between the bottom shell 101 and the top cover 102; a bracket 4 fixedly installed on the bottom shell 101, wherein a bolt 5 is rotatably installed on the bracket 4, and a retaining plate 6 is threadedly installed on the bolt 5, wherein the retaining plate 6 is slidably connected to a strip hole on the bracket 4; a mounting plate 7 disposed on the retaining plate 6; and a disassembly mechanism assembled on the mounting plate 7 for fixing the fiber optic splice box body 1.

[0024] In this solution, during fiber optic cable splicing and installation, the fiber optic cable is first inserted into the inlet of the fiber optic splice box body 1 and fixed to the bottom shell 101 using the appropriate fixing method. After stripping the outer sheath of the fiber optic cable and installing the appropriate ferrule, it is inserted into the corresponding adapter 2, completing the cable installation. Then, simply fix the fiber optic splice box body 1 in a specific position and insert the fiber optic connector with the ferrule into one end of the exposed adapter 2 outside the terminal box. This is convenient and quick. The fiber optic cable splicing and installation is existing technology, and its principle will not be described in detail here. After the fiber optic cable splicing operation is completed, the upper cover 102 is closed onto the bottom shell 101. At this time, the sealing ring 3 between the bottom shell 101 and the upper cover 102 is compressed, tightly filling the gap between the two, forming the first layer of waterproof sealing, which can effectively prevent external moisture from entering the interior. Then, the fiber optic splice box body 1 can be fixed in the desired position using the disassembly mechanism. When maintenance and disassembly are required later, it can be done directly by hand. The fiber optic splice box body 1 can be removed by operating the disassembly mechanism for maintenance. No tools are required when disassembling the fiber optic splice box body 1 using the disassembly mechanism, which is convenient for people to disassemble and assemble, saving a lot of time and effort. If the disassembly mechanism is damaged and cannot be used, the clamping plate 6 can be slid on the slot by rotating the bolt 5, so that the clamping plate 6 can be released from fixing the mounting plate 7, and the mounting plate 7 can be removed together with the disassembly mechanism for replacement. If the fiber optic splice box body 1 is fixed by suspension, it can be suspended at the desired suspension position by the clamping plate 6, and then the clamping plate 6 can be moved by rotating the bolt 5 to clamp the suspension position, thus achieving the same fixation of the fiber optic splice box body 1.

[0025] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the disassembly mechanism includes: a housing 8 fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 7, a fixing block 9 slidably mounted on the housing 8, a groove 17 formed on the fixing block 9, and a slot formed on the inner wall of the groove 17; a base plate 10 fixedly mounted on the fixing block 9; and a fixing component mounted on the housing 8 for fixing the fixing block 9.

[0026] In this embodiment, the disassembly mechanism is used to fix the fiber optic splice box body 1, and can also remove the fiber optic splice box body 1. When removing it, the fixing component is operated by hand to release the fixing component from the fixing block 9. After the fixing is released, the fixing block 9 can be separated from the box body 8, so that the fiber optic splice box body 1 can be easily removed, and vice versa.

[0027] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the fixing component includes: a push rod 11 slidably mounted on the housing 8, a pressure plate 12 fixedly mounted on one end of the push rod 11, a U-shaped plate 13 fixedly mounted on the other end of the push rod 11, a spring 14 fixedly mounted on the U-shaped plate 13, a support block 15 fixedly mounted on the spring 14, and the support block 15 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 8; and a locking block 16 fixedly mounted on the U-shaped plate 13, the locking block 16 being adapted to the locking groove.

[0028] In this embodiment, when using the fixing assembly, the pressure plates 12 on both sides need to be squeezed by hand. The pressure plates 12 will drive the push rod 11 to slide on the housing 8. The push rod 11 will drive the U-shaped plate 13 to move. The U-shaped plate 13 will squeeze the spring 14 on the support block 15 and drive the locking block 16 to disengage from the slot. After disengagement, the fixing block 9 can be separated from the housing 8, so that the fiber optic splice box body 1 can be easily removed. Before removal, if the pressure plate 12 is released, the spring 14 will push the U-shaped plate 13 back through elasticity, so that the push rod 11, pressure plate 12 and locking block 16 return to their original positions, so that the locking block 16 can be inserted into the slot, thereby re-fixing the fiber optic splice box body 1. The operation is relatively convenient and does not require the use of any tools.

[0029] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a limiting rod 18 for preventing the rotation of the U-shaped plate 13 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the box 8, and the limiting rod 18 is slidably connected to the U-shaped plate 13.

[0030] In this embodiment, the use of the limiting rod 18 can prevent the U-shaped plate 13 from rotating during movement, thereby preventing the position of the locking block 16 from shifting.

[0031] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the bolt 5 is provided with a hexagonal groove for rotating the bolt 5, and the clamping plate 6 is L-shaped with a rubber pad for anti-slip fixedly installed on the clamping plate 6.

[0032] In this embodiment, the use of hexagonal slots makes it convenient for people to use a hex wrench to rotate the bolt 5. The L-shaped clamping plate 6 can not only fix the mounting plate 7, but also fix the suspension position.

[0033] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the bracket 4 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the bottom shell 101 by a first screw, and the top cover 102 is fixedly installed at the top of the bottom shell 101 by a second screw.

[0034] In this embodiment, the bracket 4 can be stably fixed to the bottom of the bottom shell 101 by using the first screw, and the top cover 102 can be stably fixed to the top of the bottom shell 101 by using the second screw.

[0035] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the base plate 10 is provided with mounting holes for mounting screws, and the mounting holes are located at the corners of the base plate 10.

[0036] In this embodiment, the use of mounting holes makes it easy for people to fix the base plate 10 to the desired position using screws.

[0037] In summary, compared with related technologies, this solution, through the use of a disassembly mechanism, allows operators to easily disassemble the fiber optic splice box body 1 by hand, quickly removing it from its installation position for maintenance. After maintenance, it can also be manually fixed back in its installation position. No tools are required during the disassembly and assembly process, making it convenient for people to perform the work and saving considerable time and effort. The combined use of bolts 5 and clamps 6 not only releases the mounting plate 7 but also secures it, allowing for the removal of the mounting plate 7 and its disassembly mechanism when needed. Furthermore, the fiber optic splice box body 1 can be fixed by suspension, offering diverse and convenient fixing methods.

[0038] It should be understood, in the several embodiments provided in this application, that the disclosed apparatus may be implemented in other ways.
