Abstract

This application discloses a network monitoring device, belonging to the field of optical power meter technology. It includes an optical power meter device and an integrated protective sleeve mounted on the outside of the optical power meter device. The optical power meter device has two fixed optical fiber interfaces. A concave bracket is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the integrated protective sleeve with damping. The concave bracket at the bottom of the integrated protective sleeve allows the optical power meter device to be stably placed on the ground at an angle, facilitating use and operation. When the optical power meter device is in use, after the optical fiber connector is threaded onto the optical fiber interface, a return spring forces a sliding plate to press the optical fiber connector, making the connection between the optical fiber connector and the optical fiber interface more stable.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of optical power meter technology, and more specifically, to a network monitoring device. Background Technology

[0002] An optical power meter is a core instrument used to measure optical signal power and optical link performance. Its main functions include direct measurement of optical power, assessment of optical attenuation, equipment performance analysis, and maintenance and optimization of fiber optic communication systems. Optical power meters play an indispensable role in the installation, commissioning, and maintenance of fiber optic networks, and are a crucial tool for ensuring communication stability and reliability.

[0003] A power communication optical cable network monitoring device, disclosed in patent CN222321539U, uses a protective mechanism where a movable sleeve and a thin film are reset under spring force, allowing the film to re-cover the plug end and provide protection. Due to the film's automatic reset characteristic, it effectively avoids the possibility of traditional protective caps failing to engage with the plug end due to forgetfulness or negligence, thus significantly improving the functionality and ease of operation of the optical power meter. However, the inventor believes that the aforementioned technology still has the following drawbacks: the optical power meter in the literature requires handheld operation and cannot be placed on a monitoring table at a suitable viewing angle. Furthermore, the automatic reset structure of the thin film is inconvenient for using and installing fiber optic connectors, which are mostly threaded connections. Moreover, after installation, the automatic reset structure can affect the connection stability of the fiber optic connector, easily leading to data interruption. Therefore, we propose a network monitoring device. Utility Model Content

[0004] 1. Technical problems to be solved

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a network monitoring device that solves the technical problems mentioned in the background art. The device utilizes a concave bracket installed at the bottom of an integrated protective cover to stably place the optical power meter on the ground at an angle, facilitating its use and operation. When the optical power meter is in use, after the fiber optic connector is threaded onto the fiber optic interface, a reset spring forces a sliding plate to press the fiber optic connector, making the connection between the fiber optic connector and the fiber optic interface more stable. When the fiber optic connector is removed, the reset spring automatically resets, which can force the cover to automatically engage with the corresponding fiber optic interface, achieving the purpose of dust prevention for the fiber optic interface. Compared with traditional dust covers that need to be manually closed, this device is more convenient to use and has a compact and reasonable structural design.

[0006] 2. Technical Solution

[0007] This application provides a network monitoring device, comprising: an optical power meter device and an integrated protective sleeve installed outside the optical power meter device. The optical power meter device is fixedly provided with two optical fiber interfaces. The bottom of the integrated protective sleeve is damped and rotatably mounted with a concave bracket. Limiting components are provided on both sides of the integrated protective sleeve for positioning the concave bracket in a horizontal state. The integrated protective sleeve is also equipped with an anti-blocking and line-fixing mechanism.

[0008] The anti-blocking and positioning mechanism includes a concave slide block, which is slidably connected to an integrated protective sleeve. Both ends of the concave slide block are fixedly connected to the integrated protective sleeve with a return spring. A trapezoidal plate is fixedly connected to the concave slide block. Two sliding plates with opposite directions of movement are slidably mounted on the trapezoidal plate. Each sliding plate has a C-shaped groove and a plug is fixedly mounted on each sliding plate. Each plug is connected to an optical fiber interface.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the optical power meter is externally fitted with an integrated protective sleeve. A damped, rotating concave bracket is installed at the bottom of the integrated protective sleeve. When using the optical power meter, the concave bracket and the integrated protective sleeve form a triangular structure, allowing the optical power meter to be stably placed on the ground at an angle, facilitating use and operation. Two fixed fiber optic interfaces on the optical power meter can each be fitted with a cap, which prevents dust from entering the fiber optic interfaces. When a fiber optic connector needs to be connected to the fiber optic interface, the concave slide moves the trapezoidal plate along the integrated protective sleeve... The protective sleeve can be moved to allow the end cap to detach from the corresponding fiber optic interface, and the two sliding plates can be displaced in opposite directions, moving the C-shaped groove of the sliding plate to be aligned with the coaxial centerline of the corresponding fiber optic interface. This allows the C-shaped groove to elastically engage the fiber optic connector. After the fiber optic connector is threaded onto the fiber optic interface, the sliding plate presses against the fiber optic connector under the action of the return spring, resulting in a more stable connection between the fiber optic connector and the fiber optic interface. Furthermore, when the fiber optic connector is removed, the end cap will automatically reattach to the corresponding fiber optic interface under the reset action of the return spring. Compared to traditional dust covers that require manual closing, this is much more convenient to use.

[0010] Optionally, the optical power meter device is provided with a display module and a control module, and the upper surface of the integrated protective cover is provided with a through-slot structure corresponding to the display module and the control module.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the optical power meter device, through the setting of a display screen and control button structure, can clearly and intuitively display the network operation status, monitoring results and related network data of the monitored network device, and can make timely decisions and judgments based on the device status.

[0012] Optionally, the limiting component includes a T-shaped spring pin and a lever block, the T-shaped spring pin and the lever block are fixedly connected, the integrated protective sleeve has a first sliding groove on both sides, a T-shaped spring pin is elastically inserted into the first sliding groove, and the concave bracket has a limiting block fixed on both sides of the bottom end, the limiting block is respectively inserted and connected with a T-shaped spring pin.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when the concave bracket is rotated and stored in a horizontal state, the limiting component composed of T-shaped spring pins and lever blocks is elastically inserted along the integrated protective sleeve. The T-shaped spring pins can be used to connect with the limiting blocks, thereby achieving the limiting and fixing treatment of the concave bracket after storage.

[0014] Optionally, the integrated protective sleeve is provided with two second sliding grooves at one end of the optical fiber interface, the concave slide block is slidably installed along the two second sliding grooves, and the reset spring is fixedly installed in the second sliding groove.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the integrated protective sleeve is provided with two protective ears at the end near the optical fiber interface. Each protective ear is provided with a second sliding groove. The concave slide block is slidably installed along the two second sliding grooves, and will automatically reset after the concave slide block is released under the action of the reset spring.

[0016] Optionally, the concave slide is rotatably mounted with a bidirectional screw, the trapezoidal plate is provided with a third slide groove, the slide plates are all slidably disposed in the third slide groove, the bidirectional screw movably passes through the trapezoidal plate, and the two slide plates are threadedly connected, gears are fixedly provided at both ends of the bidirectional screw, and a rack is fixedly provided in the third slide groove, the gears meshing with the corresponding racks.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the concave slide block drives the trapezoidal plate to slide along the two second slide grooves. The bidirectional screw moves together with the concave slide block. When the gear meshes with the rack, the gear is forced to rotate, and the bidirectional screw causes the two slide plates to move in opposite directions.

[0018] Optionally, the trapezoidal plate is slidably attached to the surface of the integrated protective sleeve, and the two ends of the bidirectional screw have opposite thread directions and are respectively threaded to a sliding plate.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the two ends of the bidirectional screw have opposite thread directions, which allows the two connected slide plates to move in opposite directions along the trapezoidal plate. The trapezoidal plate is an isosceles trapezoidal structure that fits snugly against the surface of the protective ear of the integrated protective sleeve, making the structure compact.

[0020] 3. Beneficial effects

[0021] The technical solutions provided in this application have at least the following technical effects or advantages: The optical power meter uses a concave bracket installed at the bottom of the integrated protective cover to stably place the optical power meter on the ground, which is convenient for use and operation. When the optical power meter is in use, after the fiber optic connector is threaded onto the fiber optic interface, the return spring forces the sliding plate to squeeze the fiber optic connector, making the connection between the fiber optic connector and the fiber optic interface more stable. When the fiber optic connector is removed, the return spring automatically resets, which can force the cover to automatically engage with the corresponding fiber optic interface, achieving the purpose of dust prevention for the fiber optic interface. Compared with the traditional dust cover, which needs to be manually closed, it is more convenient to use, and the structural design is compact and reasonable. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Reference Figures 1 to 5This application provides a network monitoring device, including: an optical power meter device 1 and an integrated protective sleeve 2 installed outside the optical power meter device 1. The optical power meter device 1 is fixedly provided with two optical fiber interfaces 13. The bottom of the integrated protective sleeve 2 is damped and rotatably installed with a concave bracket 3. Limiting components 4 are provided on both sides of the integrated protective sleeve 2 for positioning the concave bracket 3 in a horizontal state. The integrated protective sleeve 2 is also equipped with an anti-blocking and line-fixing mechanism 5.

[0030] The anti-blocking positioning mechanism 5 includes a concave slide 53, which is slidably connected to the integrated protective sleeve 2. Return springs 57 are fixedly connected to both ends of the concave slide 53 and the integrated protective sleeve 2. A trapezoidal plate 51 is fixedly connected to the concave slide 53. Two sliding plates 52 with opposite directions of movement are slidably mounted on the trapezoidal plate 51. Each sliding plate 52 has a C-shaped groove 521, and each sliding plate 52 has a fixed cap 54. The cap 54 is respectively connected to an optical fiber interface 13. The optical power meter device 1 is externally fitted with an integrated protective sleeve 2. By installing a concave bracket 3 at the bottom of the integrated protective sleeve 2 with damping rotation, the concave bracket 3 and the integrated protective sleeve 2 can form a triangular structure when using the optical power meter device 1, allowing the optical power meter device 1 to be stably placed on the ground at an angle, facilitating use and operation. Two optical fiber interfaces are fixedly installed on the optical power meter device 1. Each fiber optic interface 13 can be fitted with a cover 54. The cover 54 can be used to prevent dust from entering the fiber optic interface 13. When the fiber optic interface 13 needs to be connected to a fiber optic connector, the concave slide 53 drives the trapezoidal plate 51 to move along the integrated protective sleeve 2, which can cause the cover 54 to fall off the corresponding fiber optic interface 13. The two slide plates 52 are displaced in opposite directions, so that the C-shaped groove 521 of the slide plate 52 moves to be set on the coaxial center line with the corresponding fiber optic interface 13. The C-shaped groove 521 can be used to elastically clamp the cable of the fiber optic connector. After the fiber optic connector is threaded onto the fiber optic interface 13, the slide plate 52 squeezes the fiber optic connector under the elastic force of the return spring 57, so that the fiber optic connector is more stably connected to the fiber optic interface 13. When the fiber optic connector is removed, the cover 54 will automatically be reattached to the corresponding fiber optic interface 13 under the reset action of the return spring 57. Compared with the traditional dust cover, which needs to be manually closed, it is more convenient to use.

[0031] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The optical power meter device 1 is equipped with a display module 11 and a control module 12, and the upper surface of the integrated protective cover 2 is provided with a through groove structure corresponding to the display module 11 and the control module 12. By setting up a display screen and control button structure, the optical power meter device 1 can clearly and intuitively display the network operation status, monitoring results and related network data of the monitored network device, and can make timely decisions and judgments based on the device status.

[0032] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The limiting component 4 includes a T-shaped spring pin 42 and a lever 41, which are fixedly connected. The integrated protective sleeve 2 has a first sliding groove 21 on both sides, and a T-shaped spring pin 42 is elastically inserted into each of the first sliding grooves 21. The concave bracket 3 has a limiting block 31 fixed on both sides of its bottom end, and the limiting block 31 is respectively inserted and connected to a T-shaped spring pin 42. When the concave bracket 3 is rotated and stored in a horizontal state, the limiting component 4, composed of the T-shaped spring pin 42 and the lever 41, is elastically inserted along the integrated protective sleeve 2. The T-shaped spring pin 42 can be inserted and connected to the limiting block 31 to achieve the limiting and fixing treatment of the concave bracket 3 after storage.

[0033] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 The integrated protective sleeve 2 has two second sliding grooves 22 at one end of the fiber optic interface 13. The concave slide block 53 is slidably installed along the two second sliding grooves 22, and the reset spring 57 is fixedly installed in the second sliding groove 22. The integrated protective sleeve 2 has two protective ears at one end near the fiber optic interface 13. Each protective ear has a second sliding groove 22. The concave slide block 53 is slidably installed along the two second sliding grooves 22, and under the action of the reset spring 57, it will automatically reset after the concave slide block 53 is released.

[0034] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 A concave slide block 53 is rotatably mounted with a bidirectional screw 55. A third slide groove 511 is provided on the trapezoidal plate 51. The slide plates 52 are slidably disposed in the third slide groove 511. The bidirectional screw 55 movably passes through the trapezoidal plate 51 and is threadedly connected to both slide plates 52. Gears 56 are fixed at both ends of the bidirectional screw 55. A rack 58 is fixed in the third slide groove 511. The gears 56 mesh with the corresponding racks 58. The concave slide block 53 drives the trapezoidal plate 51 to slide along the two second slide grooves 22. The bidirectional screw 55 moves together with the concave slide block 53. When the gears 56 mesh with the racks 58, the gears 56 are forced to rotate. The bidirectional screw 55 causes the two slide plates 52 to move in opposite directions.

[0035] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 The trapezoidal plate 51 is slidably attached to the surface of the integrated protective sleeve 2. The two ends of the bidirectional screw 55 have opposite thread directions and are respectively threaded to a sliding plate 52. The two ends of the bidirectional screw 55 have opposite thread directions, which allows the two connected sliding plates 52 to move in opposite directions along the trapezoidal plate 51. The trapezoidal plate 51 is an isosceles trapezoidal structure and is attached to the surface of the protective ear of the integrated protective sleeve 2, making the structure compact.

[0036] Working Principle: The optical power meter device 1 is externally fitted with an integrated protective sleeve 2. A concave bracket 3 is mounted on the bottom of the integrated protective sleeve 2 via a damping shaft. By adjusting the installation angle of the concave bracket 3, the optical power meter device 1 can be stably placed on the ground during use, and the display interface is at an appropriate angle for convenient use and operation. To prevent dust from entering the two fiber optic interfaces 13 when the optical power meter device 1 is not in use, each fiber optic interface 13 is equipped with a cap 54. The cap 54 serves to prevent dust from entering the fiber optic interfaces 13. Specifically, when a fiber optic connector needs to be connected to a fiber optic interface 13, the concave slide 53 moves the trapezoidal plate 51 along the integrated protective sleeve 2, causing the cap 54 to detach from the corresponding fiber optic interface 13. The bidirectional screw 55 moves together with the concave slide 53. When the gear 56 meshes with the rack 58, the gear 56 is forced to rotate. The bidirectional screw 55 causes the two slide plates 52 to move in opposite directions, so that the C-shaped groove 521 of the slide plate 52 is set to be coaxial with the corresponding optical fiber interface 13. The C-shaped groove 521 can be used to elastically snap the cable of the optical fiber connector. After the optical fiber connector is threaded onto the optical fiber interface 13, the slide plate 52 squeezes the optical fiber connector under the elastic force of the return spring 57, so that the optical fiber connector is more stably connected to the optical fiber interface 13. When the optical fiber connector is removed, the cover 54 will automatically re-fit onto the corresponding optical fiber interface 13 under the reset action of the return spring 57. Compared with the traditional dust cover, which needs to be manually closed, it is more convenient to use.
