[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-5 A communication fiber optic connector box includes a mounting box 1. First sealing strips 101 are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the mounting box 1. First slots 102 are opened on both sides of the top of the mounting box 1. A cover plate 2 is inserted into the top of the mounting box 1. Multiple dustproof structures 3 are fixedly installed on one side of the outer surface of the mounting box 1. Second sealing strips 21 are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the cover plate 2. Second slots 22 are opened on both sides of the bottom of the cover plate 2. The multiple dustproof structures 3 include plug heads 31 and placement slot plates 32. The multiple plug heads 31 have locking posts 34 inserted inside.

[0021] Please see Figure 2-5 Multiple connectors 31 are bolted to the outer surface of the mounting box 1, and multiple placement slots 32 are fixed below the connectors 31. Connecting ropes 33 are rotatably installed inside the placement slots 32, and the other ends of the connecting ropes 33 are fixedly connected to the locking posts 34. Two fixing slots 4 are formed on both sides of the outer surface of the cover plate 2, and fastening bolts 5 are threaded into the internal parts of the fixing slots 4. Four sets of fastening bolts 5 can be threaded into the mounting box 1. Multiple fixing holes 7 are formed on one side of the outer surface of the mounting box 1, and these fixing holes 7 communicate with the connectors 31.

[0022] After connecting the mounting box 1 and the cover plate 2, the mounting box 1 and the cover plate 2 are completely fixed by the fastening bolt 5. When not wiring, the locking post 34 is blocked inside the plug 31 to prevent dust from entering the interior of the mounting box 1 from the plug 31. When wiring, the locking post 34 is pulled out from the plug 31 and locked inside the placement slot plate 32.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-3 The top of the cover plate 2 is provided with a heat dissipation structure 6, which includes heat dissipation holes 61. A breathable and waterproof membrane 62 is fixedly installed inside the heat dissipation holes 61, and a dust trap 63 is fixedly installed on the top of the breathable and waterproof membrane 62.

[0024] When the device is in use, a breathable and waterproof membrane 62 is fixed inside the heat dissipation hole 61, and then a dust trap 63 is fixed above the breathable and waterproof membrane 62. This allows air exchange through the heat dissipation hole 61 but blocks water mist, while the dust trap 63 intercepts large dust particles.

[0025] Working principle: When a communication fiber optic connector box is used, initially, due to the arrangement of the first sealing strips 101 on both sides, the first slot 102, the two second sealing strips 21, and the second slot 22, when the cover plate 2 is placed on top of the mounting box 1, the second sealing strips 21 on both sides are engaged in the first slot 102, and the first sealing strips 101 on both sides are engaged in the second slot 22. Through the compression of the second sealing strips 21 and the first sealing strips 101, the first slot 102 and the second slot 22 are filled, forming a seal for the entire device and initially fixing it in place. This prevents moisture from entering the box. The mounting box 1 and cover plate 2 are connected and then inserted into the interior. The mounting box 1 and cover plate 2 are then completely fixed by the fastening bolt 5. When no wiring is being done, the locking post 34 is blocked inside the plug head 31 to prevent dust from entering the interior of the mounting box 1 from the plug head 31. When wiring is being done, the locking post 34 is pulled out from the plug head 31 and placed inside the placement slot plate 32. Finally, a breathable and waterproof membrane 62 is fixed inside the heat dissipation hole 61, and then a dust trap 63 is fixed above the breathable and waterproof membrane 62. Thus, the breathable and waterproof membrane 62 allows air exchange through the heat dissipation hole 61 but blocks water mist, while the dust trap 63 intercepts large dust particles.
