Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of optical module material boxes, and in particular relates to a quick-installation turnover material box for optical modules. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of information technology, the demand for optical modules used for information exchange and transmission has surged. At the same time, the production process of optical modules is complex. In order to meet the needs of the next production process, optical modules need to be frequently loaded, unloaded and transferred in the field of optical communication.
[0003] The current technology of manually handling optical modules has several disadvantages. First, manual handling is inefficient; slow handling speed and susceptibility to fatigue and handover time increase the turnaround time for each batch of optical modules, directly lengthening the overall production cycle. Second, manual handling can easily damage the optical modules; collisions, drops, or excessive pressure during handling can cause shell deformation and loosening of interfaces, leading to poor contact or signal attenuation. To solve these problems, it is necessary to design a quick-release turnover box for optical modules. Utility Model Content

[0006] The loading unit is used to install the limiting unit and place the product unit. It consists of an upper cover plate, a lower bottom plate, a left side plate, and a right side plate. The upper cover plate and the lower bottom plate are respectively fixed to the left side plate and the right side plate by screws.
[0007] The limiting unit is used to prevent the product unit from sliding in the loading unit. It consists of a U-shaped rotating rod and a compression spring. The U-shaped rotating rod and the compression spring are symmetrically distributed around the center of the entire turnover box and are respectively installed in the left side plate and the right side plate.

The U-shaped rotating rod is provided with a lower guide pin. The right side plate is provided with a slide rail and a lower guide hole. The right side plate has an upper guide hole. After manually compressing the compression spring, the lower guide pin of the U-shaped rotating rod slides along the slide rail of the right side plate into the lower guide hole of the right side plate. Then, the upper guide pin and the lower guide pin of the U-shaped rotating rod are aligned with the upper guide hole and the lower guide hole of the right side plate, respectively.

[0027] A preferred embodiment of the quick-release turnover box for optical modules provided by this utility model is, for example... Figures 1 to 6 As shown:
[0028] A quick-release turnover box for optical modules, which uses a quick-locking clamping method to realize the quick loading, unloading and turnover of optical modules, includes a loading unit 100, a limiting unit 200 and a product unit 300.
[0029] The loading unit 100 is used to install the limiting unit 200 and the product placement unit 300. It consists of an upper cover plate 101, a lower bottom plate 109, a left side plate 103, and a right side plate 102. The upper cover plate 101 and the lower bottom plate 109 are respectively fixed to the left side plate 103 and the right side plate 102 by screws.
[0030] The limiting unit 200 is used to prevent the product unit 300 from sliding in the loading unit 100. It comprises a U-shaped rotating rod 201 and a compression spring 202. The U-shaped rotating rod 201 and the compression spring 202 are symmetrically distributed around the center of the entire turnover box and are respectively installed in the left side plate 103 and the right side plate 102. An upper guide pin 203 is provided on the U-shaped rotating rod 201, and the compression spring 202 is inserted into the upper guide pin 203 of the U-shaped rotating rod 201. A lower guide pin 204 is provided on the U-shaped rotating rod 201. The right side plate 102 is provided with a slide rail 112, a lower guide hole 113, and an upper guide hole 104. After manually compressing the compression spring 202, the lower guide pin 204 of the U-shaped rotating rod 201 slides along the slide rail 112 of the right side plate 102 into the lower guide hole 113 of the right side plate 102. Then, the upper guide pin 203 and the lower guide pin 204 of the U-shaped rotating rod 201 are aligned with the upper guide hole 104 and the lower guide hole 113 of the right side plate 102, respectively.
[0031] When the compression spring 202 is released, under the action of the elastic force, the upper guide pin 203 and the lower guide pin 204 of the U-shaped rotating rod 201 are inserted into the upper guide hole 104 and the lower guide hole 113 of the right side plate 102, respectively, and the U-shaped rotating rod 201 can rotate around the upper and lower guide holes.
[0032] Product unit 300 includes carrier plate 301 and finished optical module 302 placed in carrier plate 301. Carrier plate 301 is provided with guide edge 303. Right side plate 102 is provided with guide groove 111, which is used to cooperate with guide edge 303 of carrier plate 301 so that product unit 300 is inserted into loading unit 100 sequentially and layer by layer.
[0033] The upper cover plate 101 and the lower base plate 109 are respectively provided with limiting C-shaped grooves 105. The compression spring 202 is pressed down and the U-shaped rotating rod 201 is rotated until it engages with the upper and lower limiting C-shaped grooves 105 respectively. The compression spring 202 is then released, and the lower end of the U-shaped rotating rod 201 is locked in the C-shaped groove of the lower base plate 109. This completes the limiting of the product unit 300 within the loading unit 100.
[0034] The bottom plate 109 is provided with a U-shaped groove 108. When the product unit 300 is taken out, the compression spring 202 is pressed down, and the U-shaped rotating rod 201 is rotated to one side. The product unit 300 is taken out layer by layer from the U-shaped groove 108.
[0035] A loading indicator 110 is provided on the left side plate 103 to indicate the direction for placing the product unit 300 into the loading unit 100.
[0036] In this embodiment, the loading unit 100 is formed by screws connecting the upper cover plate 101, the lower bottom plate 109, the left side plate 103 and the right side plate 102 to form a frame structure for accommodating the limiting unit 200 and the product unit 300.
[0037] The U-shaped rotating rod 201 is held in place by the elastic force of the compression spring 202, which keeps the upper guide pin 203 and the lower guide pin 204 inserted into the upper guide hole 104 and the lower guide hole 113 of the right side plate 102 respectively. At this time, the U-shaped rotating rod 201 is in the locked position.
[0038] Unlocking operation: Manually compress the compression spring 202, causing the lower guide pin 204 of the U-shaped rotating rod 201 to slide along the slide rail 112 of the right side plate 102 to the outside of the lower guide hole 113, while the upper guide pin 203 disengages from the upper guide hole 104. At this time, the U-shaped rotating rod 201 can be rotated around the axis of the upper and lower guide holes.
[0039] Limiting and fixing: Rotate the U-shaped rotating rod 201 until it is aligned with the limiting C-shaped groove 105 of the upper cover plate 101 and the lower base plate 109. After releasing the compression spring 202, the elastic force drives the lower guide pin 204 to engage with the C-shaped groove of the lower base plate 109, thereby achieving axial limiting of the product unit 300.
[0040] Removal procedure: Compress the compression spring 202 again and rotate the U-shaped rotating rod 201 to the unlock position. The product unit 300 can be pulled out layer by layer through the U-shaped groove 108 of the lower base plate 109.
[0041] The elastic locking structure of the compression spring 202 and the U-shaped rotating rod 201 allows for single-handed operation to fix and release the product unit 300, shortening loading and unloading time and significantly improving production line turnover speed. It also prevents workers from directly contacting the optical module and causing surface damage. The locking design of the limiting C-shaped groove 105 and the U-shaped rotating rod 201 effectively prevents the product unit 300 from sliding and colliding during transportation or in vibrating environments, reducing the risk of loose optical module interfaces or component damage.
[0042] The mating structure of the guide groove 111 and the guide edge 303 supports the versatility of carrier boards 301 of different sizes, and can adapt to the diverse needs of finished / semi-finished optical modules 302, reducing equipment modification costs. The loading indicator 110 clearly indicates the insertion direction to avoid jamming or damage caused by incorrect orientation; the U-shaped groove 108 is designed to facilitate the extraction of product units 300 layer by layer and prevent batch tipping. The device has a compact structure, ingenious positioning, simple and convenient operation, and low cost.
[0043] The frame-type loading unit 100 and the symmetrically distributed limiting units 200 optimize space utilization, allowing more optical modules to be stored in the same volume, making it suitable for high-density storage scenarios. It is applicable to intermediate turnover, aging testing, and inbound / outbound management in optical module production lines, and especially meets the requirements of cleanroom environments for anti-static and low particulate contamination. It can be integrated into automated logistics systems (such as AGV carts) to achieve unmanned operation.
