Similar component reference numerals in the drawings represent similar components. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0025] It should be understood that, when used in this specification and the appended claims, the terms "comprising" and "including" indicate the presence of the described features, integrals, steps, operations, elements and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integrals, steps, operations, elements, components and / or collections thereof.

[0026] It should also be understood that the terminology used in this specification of embodiments of the present invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. As used in this specification of embodiments of the present invention and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0027] See Figures 1-3 This utility model provides an optical fiber power monitoring device. The device includes a housing 1, multiple optical fiber inlets 11 and optical fiber outlets 12 corresponding to the number of inlets 11; a beam splitter module with an input end, a first output end, and a second output end, the input end being connected to the optical fiber inlets 11 and the first output end being connected to the optical fiber outlets 12; a display screen assembly connected to the second output end; a detection component including a red light output port and a switch 34; and a processor connected to the beam splitter module, the display screen assembly, and the detection component. Detailed descriptions of each component are as follows:

[0028] In this embodiment, the housing 1 serves as the supporting structure of the device, protecting the internal components; multiple fiber optic inlets 11 are used to connect to the fiber optic outputs of routers, switches, etc., and a corresponding number of fiber optic outlets 12 are used to connect to network devices; the input end of the beam splitter (such as a beam splitter) is connected to the fiber optic inlet 11, splitting the input light into two paths, the first output end is connected to the fiber optic outlet 12 to ensure the transmission of the main signal, and the second output end serves as a detection end for extracting monitoring signals; the display screen assembly receives and displays the signal from the second output end; the red light output port of the detection component is used to emit red light, and the switch 34 controls its start and stop; the processor serves as the control core, connecting to the beam splitter, the display screen assembly, and the detection component respectively, to realize signal processing and coordinated control.

[0029] In one embodiment, there are eight optical fiber inlets 11 and eight optical fiber outlets 12, corresponding to the access and output of eight optical fiber signals, adapting to the monitoring requirements of eight channels. This enables synchronous monitoring of eight optical signals, solving the problem of low single-channel measurement efficiency in existing technologies, meeting the monitoring needs of multi-line parallel communication engineering, and significantly improving work efficiency.

[0030] The various components are integrated through the housing 1 to form a compact monitoring device. The optical splitting module and the processor work together to separate the transmission and monitoring of optical signals, providing basic structural support for multi-channel optical power monitoring, ensuring that all components work together, and can replace the daily tool kit for fiber optic maintenance.

[0031] See also Figures 1-3 In this embodiment, the detection component includes a network cable detection module 31, which is disposed on the housing 1 and connected to the processor.

[0032] Specifically, the network cable detection module 31 (such as a network cable detection port) in the detection component is located on the surface of the housing 1 and is electrically connected to the processor. It can connect a network cable and transmit the continuity status signal to the processor. This realizes the network cable continuity detection function, enabling the device to have both optical power monitoring and network cable connectivity detection capabilities. This solves the problem of separating the two functions in the prior art and improves the integration of the device.

[0033] Furthermore, the detection component also includes a PoE detection module 32, which is disposed on the housing 1 and connected to the processor.

[0034] Specifically, the PoE detection module 32 is located on the surface of the housing 1 and connected to the processor. It can detect the power supply and connectivity status of the PoE network cable and transmit the signal to the processor. Adding PoE detection functionality to the existing network cable connectivity detection meets the detection requirements of network cables with power supply capabilities, further expanding the applicability of the device without requiring additional PoE detection equipment.

[0035] Furthermore, the detection component includes a red light detection module 33 and a switch 34, which are respectively disposed on the housing 1 and connected to the processor.

[0036] Specifically, the red light detection module 33, also known as the red light output port, is located in the housing 1 and emits red light. The switch 34, located on the surface of the housing 1 and connected to the processor and the red light detection module 33, controls the on / off state of the red light detection module 33 and controls the start and stop of the red light. By emitting red light through the red light output port, it is possible to visually detect whether the optical fiber is disconnected. The switch 34 facilitates operation, solving the problem of convenience in physically detecting the continuity of optical fibers and improving the efficiency of fault diagnosis.

[0037] Furthermore, the beam splitting ratio between the first output terminal and the second output terminal of the beam splitting module is 95:5.

[0038] Specifically, the splitting ratio between the first output end (to fiber optic outlet 12) and the second output end (to the display screen assembly) of the optical splitter module is 95:5, meaning that 95% of the optical signal is transmitted to the network device via the first output end, and 5% of the optical signal is used for monitoring via the second output end. While ensuring the normal transmission of the main optical path (95% optical signal), real-time monitoring is achieved through the 5% optical signal, reducing the impact on the main signal while accurately reflecting the optical power attenuation state, thus balancing transmission and monitoring needs. It should be noted that the 95:5 splitting ratio between the first and second output ends of the optical splitter module is the optimal embodiment; those skilled in the art can use other splitting ratios without exceeding the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0039] Furthermore, the display assembly includes a first display 41 and a second display 42. The first display 41 is mounted on the housing 1 and is connected to the second output terminal and the second display 42, respectively.

[0040] Specifically, the display assembly includes a first display screen 41 (body display screen) and a second display screen 42 (external display screen). The first display screen 41 is mounted on the surface of the housing 1 and connected to the second output terminal of the beam splitter module and the second display screen 42. It can receive monitoring signals and synchronize them to the second display screen 42. The first display screen 41 facilitates viewing the detection data on the device body, while the second display screen 42 can be flexibly arranged (e.g., outside the cabinet) for convenient long-distance or non-contact observation, improving the convenience of real-time monitoring.

[0041] Furthermore, both the optical fiber inlet 11 and the optical fiber inlet 11 include an LC adapter.

[0042] Specifically, the adapters at the fiber optic inlet 11 and fiber optic outlet 12 are LC adapters, used for plugging and unplugging fiber optic connections. LC adapters feature stable connections and convenient plugging and unplugging, ensuring reliable connections between the fiber optic cable and the device, improving equipment compatibility and ease of use, and adapting to common fiber optic interface requirements in communication engineering.

[0043] Furthermore, it also includes an alarm module, which is connected to the processor.

[0044] Specifically, the alarm module can employ an audible and visual alarm (such as a buzzer combined with an LED warning light), installed on the surface of housing 1 or the outside of cabinet 5, and electrically connected to the processor via wires. The processor pre-stores an optical power attenuation threshold (set according to different fiber types or engineering requirements). When the optical power attenuation signal transmitted to the processor from the second output of the splitter module exceeds this threshold, the processor sends a trigger signal to the alarm module. Through the linkage between the alarm module and the processor, an audible or visual warning can be issued promptly when the optical power attenuation is abnormal (exceeding the preset threshold). This solves the problem that existing optical power meters can only passively display data and cannot actively provide early warnings, making it easier for staff to quickly detect abnormal states of optical communication equipment, preventing the expansion of signal transmission failures caused by excessive attenuation, and improving the timeliness and reliability of communication engineering monitoring.

[0045] Furthermore, it also includes a cabinet 5, the housing 1 being detachably connected to the cabinet 5, and the second display screen 42 being disposed on the cabinet 5.

[0046] Specifically, cabinet 5 is an equipment cabinet, and shell 1 is connected to cabinet 5 by detachable structures such as bolts. The second display screen 42 is installed on the surface of cabinet 5 (such as the outside of the cabinet door). The detachable connection between shell 1 and cabinet 5 facilitates the installation, maintenance and replacement of the device; the second display screen 42 is located on cabinet 5, which facilitates real-time viewing of monitoring data outside the cabinet, adapting to the observation needs of the closed environment of the cabinet on the engineering site.
