Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of signal fault indication devices, and specifically to a visual indication device for signal faults in communication equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the operation and maintenance of communication network facilities, rapid location and efficient repair of communication signal faults are crucial to ensuring network stability. Currently, when communication signal fault investigators locate a specific fault point in the field or in complex line environments, such as a section of communication cable with a break, short circuit, or degraded performance, an important task is to mark the fault point so that subsequent maintenance teams can quickly and accurately locate the same location for repair.

[0003] In existing technologies, the most common method for marking located fault points is to use spray paint to mark them on the faulty cable or nearby poles and the ground. While this method is simple and inexpensive, it has the following drawbacks: spray painting cannot convey specific fault information (such as categories like "open circuit," "short circuit," or "grounding"), requiring subsequent personnel to conduct a preliminary diagnosis upon arrival, resulting in low efficiency. Furthermore, while troubleshooting personnel sometimes use simple cable ties or tape, these methods are also prone to detachment, are not durable, and cannot convey fault category information. Whether it is spraying or simple bundling, the markings are usually flush with the cable surface or located in an inconspicuous place, which is extremely inconspicuous in complex cable bundles or outdoor environments, making it very difficult to find later. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a visual indication device for signal faults in communication equipment, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A signal fault visualization indication device for communication equipment, comprising: An indicator plate has a mounting cavity on one side, and a sealing plate for sealing the opening end of the mounting cavity is fixed on the indicator plate by screws. A connecting column is fixed to the top of one end of the indicator plate, and a positioning seat is integrally formed at the other end of the connecting column; The guide rods and the indicator plate are horizontally movable through the side of the positioning seat. The end of the guide rods extending to the outside of the indicator plate is fixedly connected to the movable clamping seat, and the end extending into the mounting cavity is fixedly connected to the connecting block. The positioning seat and the movable clamping seat are respectively provided with a first clamping groove and a second clamping groove on the side that are close to each other. The abutting mechanism is installed inside the mounting cavity and connected to the connecting block. The abutting mechanism is used to drive the connecting block to move in the direction of the guide rod. The sliding block has a groove on the sealing plate, and a sliding block that is fixedly connected to the connecting block is slidably connected to the sealing plate and located in the groove. A push-pull plate is fixedly installed on one end of the sliding block that extends to the outside of the sealing plate by screws. The fault identification component, which is installed at the end of the indicator panel away from the connecting post, is used to indicate the type of signal fault in the communication equipment.

[0006] Furthermore: the abutting mechanism includes a first abutting plate, a housing, an abutting rod, a second abutting plate, and a spring. The first abutting plate is installed on the inner wall of the mounting cavity away from the guide rod. The housing is integrally formed on the side of the first abutting plate near the connecting block. The second abutting plate is installed on the side of the connecting block away from the guide rod. The abutting rod is integrally formed on the side of the second abutting plate near the housing. The end of the abutting rod moves horizontally through the end of the housing. A spring is sleeved on the outside of the housing. The two ends of the spring are in contact with the first abutting plate and the second abutting plate, respectively.

[0007] Furthermore: the fault identification component includes a mounting shell fixedly installed on the indicator plate. The side of the mounting shell away from the indicator plate is open. The two sides of the mounting shell are symmetrically mounted with damped rotating shafts. The two rotating shafts are fixedly connected to a mounting block at one end extending into the mounting shell. Multiple fault category identification stickers are pasted in a ring array on the outer periphery of the mounting block.

[0008] Furthermore: a cover plate for sealing its opening end is fixedly installed on the mounting shell, and an observation port connected to the opening end of the mounting shell is opened in the middle of the cover plate, and a transparent glass is embedded in the cover plate and inside the observation port.

[0009] Furthermore: the first contact plate is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the mounting cavity by screws, and the second contact plate is fixedly installed on the connecting block by screws.

[0010] Furthermore: the push-pull plate is attached to the side wall of the sealing plate, and when the sliding block slides along the slide groove to both ends of the slide groove, the push-pull plate seals the slide groove.

[0011] Furthermore: the positioning seat has a receiving groove on the side near the first clamping groove. When the spring is in its natural state, the end of the moving clamping seat extends into the receiving groove. The inner walls of the first clamping groove and the second clamping groove are both fixed with protrusions.

[0012] Furthermore, reflective stickers are affixed to the side of the sealing plate away from the indicator plate and to the outer wall of the indicator plate.

[0013] This invention provides a visual indication device for signal faults in communication equipment. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages: 1. Instead of using spray paint for marking, the indicator plate is positioned and stands outside the cable, making it easier for maintenance personnel to locate faults and facilitating the maintenance of the communication cable. During this process, when the inner walls of the first and second clamping slots are in contact with the outside of the communication cable, the protrusions on the inner walls of the first and second clamping slots abut against the outer wall of the communication cable, increasing the stability of the positioning seat and the movable clamping seat for clamping the communication cable. 2. The cover plate on the mounting shell seals its opening end. The observation port in the middle of the cover plate and the transparent glass embedded inside can not only protect the internal fault category label from the influence of the external environment, but also allow maintenance personnel to clearly observe the fault category label, ensuring the normal use and observation effect of the fault label component. 3. The reflective stickers affixed to the outer walls of the sealing plate and indicator plate can reflect light when maintenance personnel shine a light on them in low-light conditions, making it easier for maintenance personnel to quickly locate the fault and improving the efficiency of fault finding.

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model. Example

[0018] To address the technical problems in the background section, a visual indication device for signal faults in communication equipment is provided as follows: Combination Figures 1-6 As shown, the present invention provides a communication equipment signal fault visualization indication device, comprising: The indicator plate 1 has an installation cavity 11 on one side, and a sealing plate 12 for sealing the opening end of the installation cavity 11 is fixedly installed on the indicator plate 1 by screws. The connecting column 2 is fixed to the top of one end of the indicator plate 1, and the other end of the connecting column 2 is integrally formed with a positioning seat 3; The guide rod 13 and the indicator plate 1 are horizontally movable through the side of the positioning seat 3. The end of the multiple guide rods 13 extending to the outside of the indicator plate 1 is fixedly connected to the movable clamping seat 4, and the end extending into the mounting cavity 11 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 5. The positioning seat 3 and the movable clamping seat 4 are respectively provided with a first clamping groove 31 and a second clamping groove 41 on the side of the two sides that are close to each other. The abutting mechanism 7 is installed in the mounting cavity 11 and connected to the connecting block 5. The abutting mechanism 7 is used to drive the connecting block 5 to move in the direction of the guide rod 13. The sliding block 14 has a groove on the sealing plate 12. The sliding block 14, which is fixedly connected to the connecting block 5, is slidably connected to the sealing plate 12 and located in the groove. A push-pull plate 15 is fixedly installed on one end of the sliding block 14 that extends to the outside of the sealing plate 12 by screws. The fault identification component 8 is installed at the end of the indicator plate 1 away from the connecting post 2. The fault identification component 8 is used to display the type of signal fault of the communication equipment.

[0019] With the indicator plate 1, positioning seat 3, movable clamping seat 4, contact mechanism 7, and fault marking component 8, communication signal fault investigators can easily install the device at the faulty line when a faulty line is found during communication signal fault investigation. The position of the indicator plate 1 is fixed, making it easier for subsequent maintenance personnel to find the fault. The fault marking component 8 displays the fault type, replacing the method of spraying marking with self-spraying paint. After the indicator plate 1 is positioned, it stands outside the cable, making it easier for subsequent maintenance personnel to find the fault and facilitating the maintenance of the communication cable. During this process, when the inner walls of the first clamping groove 31 and the second clamping groove 41 are in contact with the outside of the communication cable, the protrusions on the inner walls of the first clamping groove 31 and the second clamping groove 41 are in contact with the outer wall of the communication cable, increasing the clamping stability of the communication cable by the positioning seat 3 and the movable clamping seat 4.

[0020] Combination Figures 1-6 As shown, the abutment mechanism 7 includes a first abutment plate 71, a housing 72, an abutment rod 73, a second abutment plate 74, and a spring 75. The first abutment plate 71 is installed on the inner wall of the mounting cavity 11 away from the guide rod 13. The housing 72 is integrally formed on the side of the first abutment plate 71 near the connecting block 5. The second abutment plate 74 is installed on the side of the connecting block 5 away from the guide rod 13. The abutment rod 73 is integrally formed on the side of the second abutment plate 74 near the housing 72. The end of the abutment rod 73 moves horizontally through the end of the housing 72. The spring 75 is sleeved on the outside of the housing 72. The two ends of the spring 75 are in contact with the first abutment plate 71 and the second abutment plate 74, respectively.

[0021] Combination Figures 1-6 As shown, the fault identification component 8 includes a mounting shell 81 fixedly installed on the indicator plate 1. The side of the mounting shell 81 away from the indicator plate 1 is open. The two sides of the mounting shell 81 are symmetrically and rotatably mounted with rotating shafts 82. Specifically, the rotating shafts 82 are fixedly fitted with rubber sleeves, which abut against both the rotating shafts 82 and the mounting shell 81. The two rotating shafts 82 are fixedly connected to one end of the two shafts 82 extending into the mounting shell 81. Multiple fault category identification stickers 84 are pasted in a ring array on the outer periphery of the mounting blocks 83.

[0022] Combination Figures 1-6As shown, a cover plate 811 for sealing its opening end is fixedly installed on the mounting shell 81. An observation port communicating with the opening end of the mounting shell 81 is opened in the middle of the cover plate 811. A transparent glass 812 is embedded in the cover plate 811 and inside the observation port. The cover plate 811 on the mounting shell 81 seals its opening end. The observation port in the middle of the cover plate 811 and the transparent glass 812 embedded inside can protect the internal fault category label 84 from the influence of the external environment, and also allow maintenance personnel to clearly observe the fault category label 84, ensuring the normal use and observation effect of the fault label component 8.

[0023] Combination Figures 1-6 As shown, the first contact plate 71 is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the mounting cavity 11 by screws, and the second contact plate 74 is fixedly installed on the connecting block 5 by screws.

[0024] Combination Figures 1-6 As shown, the push-pull plate 15 is attached to the side wall of the sealing plate 12, and when the sliding block 14 slides along the slide groove to both ends of the slide groove, the push-pull plate 15 seals the slide groove. During use, it is ensured that the push-pull plate 15 always maintains the sealing state of the slide groove, effectively preventing dust and other debris from entering the slide groove.

[0025] Combination Figures 1-6 As shown, the positioning seat 3 has a receiving groove 32 on the side near the first clamping groove 31. When the spring 75 is in its natural state, the end of the movable clamping seat 4 extends into the receiving groove 32, reducing the distance between the inner walls of the first clamping groove 31 and the second clamping groove 41. This allows the device to accommodate communication cables with smaller diameters, expanding the applicability of the device. Both the inner walls of the first clamping groove 31 and the second clamping groove 41 are fixed with protrusions. The protrusions on the inner walls of the first clamping groove 31 are integrally formed with the positioning seat 3, and the protrusions on the second clamping groove 41 are integrally formed with the movable clamping seat 4. This increases the friction between the positioning seat 3 and the movable clamping seat 4 and the outer wall of the cable, improving the clamping stability of the cable.

[0026] Combination Figures 1-6 As shown, reflective stickers 6 are affixed to the side of the sealing plate 12 away from the indicator plate 1 and to the outer wall of the indicator plate 1. The reflective stickers 6 affixed to the sealing plate 12 and the outer wall of the indicator plate 1 can reflect light when maintenance personnel shine a light on them in a dimly lit location, thereby facilitating the maintenance personnel to quickly find the fault location and improving the efficiency of fault finding.

[0027] Working principle and usage process of this utility model: When using: During communication signal fault diagnosis, when the faulty line is located, the personnel take out the device and manually rotate the shaft 82 to rotate the mounting block 83. This causes the corresponding fault category label 84 among the multiple fault category labels 84 to be located on the side closer to the transparent glass 812. Then, holding the indicator plate 1 with one hand, the personnel manually pull the push-pull plate 15 to move the sliding block 14 along the slide groove away from the positioning seat 3. The connecting block 5 drives the multiple guide rods 13 to slide, thereby causing the moving clamping seat 4 to move away from the positioning seat 3 and fit against the indicator plate 1. During this process, the abutment rod 73 slides into the housing 72, and the spring 75 deforms under force, placing the positioning seat 3 on the outside of the faulty line, so that the communication cable fault is located between the opposite sides of the first clamping groove 31 and the second clamping groove 41.

[0028] At this time, the force applied to the push-pull plate 15 is released, and the spring 75 returns to its natural state. The second abutment plate 74 drives the abutment rod 73 to slide and reset along the housing 72, causing the movable clamping seat 4 to move towards the positioning seat 3. This causes the inner walls of the first clamping groove 31 and the second clamping groove 41 to come into contact with the outside of the communication cable. The positioning seat 3 and the movable clamping seat 4 clamp and position the communication cable, thus fixing the position of the indicator plate 1. When personnel perform maintenance, they can observe the fault category label 84 through the transparent glass 812 to quickly understand the fault category at that location, replacing the method of spraying marking with self-spraying paint. After the indicator plate 1 is positioned, it stands outside the cable, making it easier for subsequent maintenance personnel to find the fault location and facilitate the maintenance and handling of the communication cable. During this period, when the inner walls of the first clamping groove 31 and the second clamping groove 41 come into contact with the outside of the communication cable, the protrusions on the inner walls of the first clamping groove 31 and the second clamping groove 41 come into contact with the outer wall of the communication cable, increasing the clamping stability of the communication cable by the positioning seat 3 and the movable clamping seat 4. When the elasticity of spring 75 decreases after prolonged use and needs to be replaced, the screws securing the sealing plate 12 and the indicator plate 1, and the screws securing the push-pull plate 15 and the sliding block 14, can be removed. Then, the screws securing the second abutment plate 74 and the first abutment plate 71 can be removed to disassemble the abutment mechanism 7. Finally, pulling the second abutment plate 74 will pull the abutment rod 73 out of the housing 72, allowing the spring 75 to be removed and replaced. The device is easy to operate; with the special design that the end of the movable clamping seat 4 extends into the receiving groove 32 when the spring 75 is in its natural state, the distance between the inner sidewalls of the first clamping groove 31 and the second clamping groove 41 is reduced, making the device suitable for communication cables with smaller diameters and improving its applicability; with the design of the reflective sticker 6, when the device is used in dimly lit locations such as urban low-voltage wells or basements, the indicator plate 1 reflects the light source when maintenance personnel shine a light on it, making it easier for maintenance personnel to find the fault location.

[0029] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
