Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical fiber equipment technology, and in particular to an optical fiber port identification device, an optical cable junction box, and an optical fiber distribution frame. Background Technology

[0002] Optical cable junction boxes and fiber optic distribution frames have a large number of distribution ports that need to be plugged into one by one with the optical fiber ports. When it is necessary to repair or change the optical fiber, it is difficult to plug the optical fiber port into its corresponding distribution port.

[0003] In existing technologies, fiber optic ports are often paired with wiring ports by using paper labels for identification. The fiber optic cables are then plugged in manually by identifying the paper labels. However, the process of affixing paper labels is cumbersome and makes the replacement and maintenance of fiber optic cables extremely difficult. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fiber optic port identification device, a fiber optic cable junction box, and a fiber optic patch panel, which can match and mark patch panels and fiber optic ports, and reduce the difficulty of fiber optic cable replacement and maintenance for staff.

[0005] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] In a first aspect, a fiber optic port identification device is provided for pairing and marking a wiring port with a fiber optic port, the fiber optic port identification device comprising:

[0007] A first identification tag is installed on the wiring port and includes a first radio frequency identification chip and an adapter reminder. The adapter reminder is communicatively connected to the first radio frequency identification chip and is used to send a plug-in adapter reminder signal.

[0008] A second identification tag is installed on the fiber optic port paired with the wiring port and includes a second radio frequency identification (RFID) chip, wherein the first RFID chip and the second RFID chip are paired together.

[0009] When the fiber optic port is plugged into the wiring port marked with a pairing mark, the first RFID chip establishes a communication connection with the paired second RFID chip. When the fiber optic port is not plugged into the wiring port marked with a pairing mark, the first RFID chip disconnects the communication connection with the paired second RFID chip.

[0010] In some embodiments, the adapter is capable of emitting visible light.

[0011] In some embodiments, the fiber optic port identification device further includes a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader / writer, the second identification tag further includes a photosensitive element, and the second RFID chip is communicatively connected to the photosensitive element and the RFID reader / writer, respectively.

[0012] In some embodiments, the second RFID chip has an antenna, and the second RFID chip is communicatively connected to the RFID reader / writer through the antenna.

[0013] In some embodiments, the fiber optic port identification device further includes a first mounting bracket, the first identification tag is mounted on the first mounting bracket, and one end of the first mounting bracket is pivotally connected to the wiring port.

[0014] In some embodiments, the fiber optic port identification device further includes a second mounting bracket, on which the second identification tag is mounted and the fiber optic port is snapped into the second mounting bracket.

[0015] In some embodiments, the peripheral sidewall of the second mounting bracket is provided with anti-slip texture for human hand gripping.

[0016] In some embodiments, one of the first mounting bracket and the second mounting bracket is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove, and the other is provided with a snap-fit ​​part. When the wiring port is plugged into the optical fiber port, the snap-fit ​​groove snaps into the snap-fit ​​part.

[0017] Secondly, an optical cable junction box is provided, including a wiring port, an optical fiber port, and the aforementioned optical fiber port identification device, wherein a first identification tag is installed on the wiring port and a second identification tag is installed on the optical fiber port.

[0018] Thirdly, a fiber optic patch panel is provided, including a patch port, a fiber optic port, and the aforementioned fiber optic port identification device, wherein a first identification tag is installed on the patch port and a second identification tag is installed on the fiber optic port.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0020] The fiber optic port identification device provided by this utility model installs a first RFID chip on the wiring port and a second RFID chip on the fiber optic port that is paired with the wiring port. This pairing of the first and second RFID chips allows the first and second chips to establish a communication connection when the fiber optic port is plugged into the paired wiring port. The matching reminder signal then alerts the operator that the currently plugged wiring port and fiber optic port are compatible. Conversely, when the wiring port is plugged into a non-paired fiber optic port, the first and second RFID chips cannot establish a communication connection. This informs the operator that the currently plugged wiring port and fiber optic port are incompatible, reducing the difficulty of fiber optic cable replacement and maintenance.

[0021] The optical cable junction box provided by this utility model includes a wiring port, an optical fiber port, and the aforementioned optical fiber port identification device. A first identification tag is installed on the wiring port, and a second identification tag is installed on the optical fiber port, thereby reducing the difficulty of replacing and maintaining the optical fiber cables in the optical cable junction box.

[0022] The fiber optic patch panel provided by this utility model includes a patch port, a fiber optic port, and the aforementioned fiber optic patch panel. A first identification tag is installed on the patch port, and a second identification tag is installed on the fiber optic port, thereby reducing the difficulty of replacing and maintaining the fiber optic cables of the fiber optic patch panel.

[0034] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0035] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the fiber optic port identification device provided in this embodiment is shown. Figure 2 A cross-sectional view of the fiber optic port identification device provided in this embodiment is shown. Figures 1 to 2As shown, this utility model provides a fiber optic port identification device for pairing a wiring port 100 with a fiber optic port 200. The fiber optic port identification device includes a first identification tag 1 and a second identification tag 2. The first identification tag 1 is installed on the wiring port 100 and includes a first radio frequency identification (RFID) chip 11 and an adapter reminder 12. The adapter reminder 12 is communicatively connected to the first RFID chip 11 and is used to issue a plug-in adapter reminder signal. The second identification tag 2 is installed on the fiber optic port 200 paired with the wiring port 100 and includes a second RFID chip 21. The first RFID chip 11 and the second RFID chip 21 are paired. When the fiber optic port 200 is plugged into the wiring port 100 with the pairing mark, the first RFID chip 11 establishes a communication connection with the paired second RFID chip 21. When the fiber optic port 200 is not plugged into the wiring port 100 with the pairing mark, the first RFID chip 11 disconnects from the paired second RFID chip 21. It should be noted that the radio frequency identification chip is an RFID chip, which is a type of electronic tag. In this embodiment, the first RFID chip 11 and the second RFID chip 21 are used in pairs. The RFID chip cannot establish a communication connection with other unpaired RFID chips. Both the optical cable junction box and the optical fiber distribution frame have multiple distribution ports 100. A pair of first identification tags 1 and second identification tags 2 are only applied to one distribution port 100. The optical cable junction box and the optical fiber distribution frame need to use multiple pairs of first identification tags 1 and second identification tags 2 at the same time.

[0036] The fiber optic port identification device provided in this embodiment installs a first RFID chip 11 on the wiring port 100 and a second RFID chip 21 on the fiber optic port 200 that is paired with the wiring port 100. This pairing of the first RFID chip 11 and the second RFID chip 21 ensures that when the fiber optic port 200 is plugged into the wiring port 100 with the pairing mark, the first RFID chip 11 and the paired second RFID chip 21 establish a communication connection. The adapter reminder 12 can then send a plugging adaptation reminder signal to the operator, indicating that the currently plugged wiring port 100 and fiber optic port 200 are compatible. When the wiring port 100 is plugged into a non-paired fiber optic port 200, the first RFID chip 11 and the paired second RFID chip 21 cannot establish a communication connection. This allows the operator to know that the currently plugged wiring port 100 and fiber optic port 200 are incompatible, reducing the difficulty of fiber optic cable replacement and maintenance.

[0037] It is understandable that the adapter reminder 12 can be a light emitter to remind staff that the currently plugged-in wiring port 100 and fiber optic port 200 are matched by light, or it can be a buzzer to remind staff that the currently plugged-in wiring port 100 and fiber optic port 200 are matched by sound, or it can be a combination of both, reminding staff by both light and sound. Those skilled in the art can reasonably choose the specific type of adapter reminder 12 according to actual needs, which will not be elaborated here.

[0038] In this embodiment, the adapter reminder 12 emits visible light to alert staff that the currently connected wiring port 100 and fiber optic port 200 are compatible. Specifically, the adapter reminder 12 is an LED light that is communicatively connected to the first RFID chip 11. When the first RFID chip 11 establishes a communication connection with the paired second RFID chip 21, the first RFID chip 11 can send a lighting signal to the LED light to remind staff that the currently connected wiring port 100 and fiber optic port 200 are compatible.

[0039] Continue as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the fiber optic port identification device also includes an RFID reader / writer, and the second identification tag 2 includes a photosensitive element 22. The second RFID chip 21 is communicatively connected to both the photosensitive element 22 and the RFID reader / writer. When the adapter reminder 12 emits visible light to alert the staff, the photosensitive element 22 simultaneously receives the visible light, converts the light signal into an electrical signal, and then sends a light-up signal to the second RFID chip 21. The second RFID chip 21 can then feed back the information of the connected and paired wiring ports 100 to the RFID reader / writer, allowing staff to observe the RFID reader / writer and thus understand the overall connection status of the wiring ports 100 and fiber optic ports 200. It is understood that the RFID reader / writer serves as a data terminal, allowing staff to easily access information about the overall connection status of the wiring ports 100 and fiber optic ports 200 by holding the data terminal.

[0040] Preferably, the second RFID chip 21 has an antenna, and the second RFID chip 21 communicates with the RFID reader / writer through the antenna, thereby eliminating the need for a communication harness to connect the second RFID chip 21 with the RFID reader / writer, and avoiding the communication harness being too complicated and affecting the staff's replacement and maintenance of fiber optic cables.

[0041] Continue as Figures 1 to 2As shown, the fiber optic port identification device also includes a first mounting bracket 3, on which a first identification tag 1 is mounted. One end of the first mounting bracket 3 is pivotally connected to the wiring port 100, thereby ensuring that the first identification tag 1 can be reliably installed in the wiring port 100. When the wiring port 100 and the fiber optic port 200 are connected, the first mounting bracket 3 is rotated to move the first identification tag 1 away from the fiber optic port 200, preventing the first identification tag 1 from interfering with the connection between the wiring port 100 and the fiber optic port 200. Specifically, one end of the first mounting bracket 3 is provided with a rotating shaft, and the wiring port 100 is provided with a rotating groove. The rotating shaft is engaged in the rotating groove, thereby allowing the first mounting bracket 3 to rotate relative to the wiring port 100.

[0042] Continue as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the fiber optic port identification device also includes a second mounting bracket 4, on which the second identification tag 2 is mounted, and the fiber optic port 200 is snapped into the second mounting bracket 4, thereby making the fiber optic port 200 detachably connected to the second identification tag 2. Specifically, the second mounting bracket 4 has a slot in which the fiber optic port 200 is snapped into.

[0043] In this embodiment, the peripheral sidewall of the second mounting bracket 4 is provided with anti-slip texture for human hand gripping, so that the operator can grip the second mounting bracket 4 to connect the wiring port 100 and the fiber optic port 200 to each other.

[0044] Continue as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, one of the first mounting bracket 3 and the second mounting bracket 4 is provided with a snap-fit ​​slot 41, and the other is provided with a snap-fit ​​part 31. When the wiring port 100 is plugged into the fiber optic port 200, the snap-fit ​​slot 41 and the snap-fit ​​part 31 snap into each other. Thus, when the wiring port 100 and its paired fiber optic port 200 are plugged into each other, the first RFID chip 11 and the second RFID chip 21 can be fixed together, so that the first RFID chip 11 and its paired second RFID chip 21 can establish a reliable communication connection.

[0045] This embodiment also provides an optical cable junction box, including a wiring port 100, an optical fiber port 200 and the aforementioned optical fiber port identification device. A first identification tag 1 is installed on the wiring port 100 and a second identification tag 2 is installed on the optical fiber port 200, thereby reducing the difficulty of replacing and maintaining the optical fiber cables in the optical cable junction box.

[0046] This embodiment also provides an optical cable junction box, including a wiring port 100, an optical fiber port 200 and the aforementioned optical fiber port identification device. A first identification tag 1 is installed on the wiring port 100 and a second identification tag 2 is installed on the optical fiber port 200, thereby reducing the difficulty of replacing and maintaining the optical fiber cables of the optical fiber distribution frame.

[0047] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
