Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fiber optic adapters, specifically a protective structure for a fiber optic adapter connection port. Background Technology

[0002] Fiber optic connectors are the most widely used passive optical devices in fiber optic communication systems. Most consist of three parts: two fiber optic connectors and a coupler. The fiber optic adapter connection port protection structure is a supporting design used to protect the fiber optic adapter connection port from factors such as dust, moisture, and physical damage that affect the fiber optic connection performance. It is widely used in fiber optic communication systems and directly affects the core components of the connection port. Common forms include dust caps.

[0003] Existing fiber optic adapter connector protection structures (such as traditional dust caps) are mostly independent and separate designs, with no fixed connection to the adapter. When protection of the connector is required, the dust cap can be inserted into the connector for sealing. However, when the connector is to be used, the dust cap must be removed before inserting the fiber optic connector. If the dust cap is left lying around after removal, it is very easy to lose due to carelessness, collision, or accidental placement. Once the protective component is lost, the fiber optic adapter connector is no longer sealed, and dust and particles in the air will directly adhere to the metal ferrule or ceramic end face inside the connector, causing signal attenuation, reduced transmission rate, or even communication interruption during fiber optic connection, thereby reducing the protective effect on the fiber optic adapter connector. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a protective structure for the fiber optic adapter connection port, so as to solve the technical problem that the protective component is easily lost due to careless placement after being removed from the port.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a protective structure for a fiber optic adapter connection port, comprising a fiber optic adapter, wherein both sides of the fiber optic adapter are provided with ports, a protective plug is inserted into the port, and a hanging ring is fixed on one side of the protective plug; both sides of the top of the fiber optic adapter are provided with storage grooves, and a rotating plate is connected to the inside of the storage grooves through a damping rotating shaft; a sliding groove is provided on the top of the rotating plate, and a sliding seat is provided inside the sliding groove; a limiting plate extending to the outside of the rotating plate is fixed on one side of the sliding seat.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the socket is used for fiber optic connector docking, and the protective plug is adapted to the socket. After being inserted into the socket, it directly seals the port, preventing dust and moisture from entering. It is the core protective component.

[0007] Furthermore, a spring is installed on one side of the inside of the slide, and one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the slide block. The spring is made of 304 stainless steel.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the spring provides elastic force to the slide block, which pushes the limit plate to automatically reset. The limit plate can limit the protective plug hanging on the rotating plate and prevent the protective plug from falling off the rotating plate at will. The spring made of 304 stainless steel can ensure its corrosion resistance and elastic stability.

[0009] Furthermore, the size of the storage slot is larger than the size of the rotating plate, and the rotating plate is rotatably connected to the fiber optic adapter via a damping shaft.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the size of the storage slot is larger than that of the rotating plate, which makes it easy for the rotating plate to be rotated into the storage slot for storage; the setting of the damping rotating shaft facilitates the rotation of the rotating plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the inner wall of the slide groove is provided with an anti-slip pad, and the anti-slip pad is made of silicone rubber material, and the slide block is in contact with the anti-slip pad.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the anti-slip pad increases the friction between the slide block and the slide groove, preventing the slide block from sliding randomly and improving the stability of the limiting plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the limiting plate is slidably connected to the slide groove via a slide block.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the limiting plate can drive the slide block to slide inside the slide groove when it moves.

[0015] Furthermore, the protective plug is compatible with the insertion port.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, it is ensured that the protective plug can tightly seal the insertion port, thereby improving the dustproof and moisture-proof effect.

[0017] Furthermore, the hanging ring and the protective plug are integrally formed, and both the hanging ring and the protective plug are made of silicone rubber material.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solutions, the one-piece molding improves the structural strength, and the silicone rubber material is soft, has good sealing performance, and is easy to insert, remove and hang.

[0019] Furthermore, the hanging ring is adapted to the rotating plate.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, it is ensured that the hanging ring can be stably mounted on the rotating plate, thus achieving reliable placement of the protective plug.

[0021] Furthermore, the size of the hanging ring is smaller than the size of the storage slot.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, it is ensured that the hanging ring can be stored in the storage slot along with the rotating plate.

[0023] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages: 1. The protective plug and hanging ring of this utility model are integrally formed, and the hanging ring can be hung on the rotating plate. The rotating plate is stored in the storage slot of the adapter to prevent the protective plug from being lost. The sliding adjustment of the limiting plate facilitates the mounting and dismounting of the hanging ring. When not in use, the rotating plate and hanging ring can be stored in the storage slot. The structure is compact and does not affect the insertion and removal of the fiber optic connector. 2. This utility model can rotate the rotating plate through the damping shaft, so that it can rotate out of the storage slot and be adjusted to a suitable angle. At the same time, it drives the limiting plate to rotate in the direction of the hanging ring, so that the limiting plate is tightly attached to one side of the protective plug, so as to play a certain limiting role in the protective plug, ensuring that the protective plug tightly seals the plugging port, and achieving dustproof and moisture-proof protection. 3. This utility model incorporates an anti-slip pad, which increases the friction between the slide block and the slide groove, preventing the slide block from sliding freely and improving the stability of the limiting plate.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0027] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure. Example 1

[0028] A protective structure for a fiber optic adapter connection port, such as Figures 1-8 As shown, the device includes an optical fiber adapter 1. Both sides of the optical fiber adapter 1 have sockets 2. A protective plug 3 is inserted inside the socket 2, and a hanging ring 4 is fixed to one side of the protective plug 3. Both sides of the top of the optical fiber adapter 1 have storage slots 5, and a rotating plate 7 is connected inside the storage slots 5 via a damping shaft 6. The top of the rotating plate 7 has a sliding groove 8, and a sliding seat 10 is installed inside the sliding groove 8. A limiting plate 11 extending to the outside of the rotating plate 7 is fixed to one side of the sliding seat 10. The sockets 2 are used for optical fiber connector mating. The protective plug 3 is adapted to the socket 2 and, after being inserted into the socket 2, directly seals the port, preventing dust and moisture from entering. It is a core protective component.

[0029] See Figures 1-8 A spring 9 is installed on one side of the inside of the slide 8, and one end of the spring 9 is fixedly connected to the slide 10. The spring 9 is made of 304 stainless steel. The spring 9 provides elastic force to the slide 10, pushing the limit plate 11 to automatically reset. The limit plate 11 can limit the protective plug 3 hanging on the rotating plate 7 to prevent the protective plug 3 from falling off the rotating plate 7 at will. The spring 9 made of 304 stainless steel can ensure its corrosion resistance and elastic stability. The size of the storage slot 5 is larger than the size of the rotating plate 7. The rotating plate 7 is rotatably connected to the fiber optic adapter 1 through the damping shaft 6. The size of the storage slot 5 is larger than the rotating plate 7, which makes it easy for the rotating plate 7 to be rotated into the storage slot 5 for storage. The setting of the damping shaft 6 facilitates the rotation of the rotating plate 7.

[0030] See Figures 1-6 The limiting plate 11 is slidably connected to the slide groove 8 via the slide block 10. When the limiting plate 11 moves, it can drive the slide block 10 to slide inside the slide groove 8. The protective plug 3 is adapted to the socket 2 to ensure that the protective plug 3 can tightly seal the socket 2 and improve the dustproof and moisture-proof effect. The hanging ring 4 is adapted to the rotating plate 7 to ensure that the hanging ring 4 can be stably hung on the rotating plate 7 to achieve reliable placement of the protective plug 3. The size of the hanging ring 4 is smaller than the size of the storage groove 5 to ensure that the hanging ring 4 can be stored in the storage groove 5 together with the rotating plate 7. Example 2

[0031] Based on the above embodiment 1, the following structure will be set to improve the stability of the slide 10.

[0032] Specifically, the inner wall of the slide groove 8 is provided with an anti-slip pad 12, which is made of silicone rubber. The slide seat 10 is in contact with the anti-slip pad 12. The anti-slip pad 12 increases the friction between the slide seat 10 and the slide groove 8, preventing the slide seat 10 from sliding randomly and improving the stability of the limiting plate 11. Example 3

[0033] Based on the above embodiment 1, the following structure will be provided to facilitate the insertion, removal or suspension of the protective plug 3.

[0034] Specifically, the hanging ring 4 and the protective plug 3 are integrally molded. Both the hanging ring 4 and the protective plug 3 are made of silicone rubber material. The integral molding improves the structural strength. The silicone rubber material is soft, has good sealing performance, and is easy to insert, remove and hang.

[0035] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, when the fiber optic adapter 1 is not in use, the socket 2 needs to be sealed and protected. Then, the operator can rotate the rotating plate 7 so that the rotating plate 7 rotates out of the storage groove 5. Then, press the limiting plate 11 so that the limiting plate 11 moves into the sliding groove 8 and no longer limits the hanging ring 4. Then, the hanging ring 4 and the protective plug 3 can be removed from the rotating plate 7. At this time, the protective plug 3 is inserted into the socket 2. Then, the operator rotates the rotating plate 7 through the damping rotating shaft 6 so that it rotates out of the storage groove 5 and is adjusted to a suitable angle. At the same time, the rotating plate 7 drives the limiting plate 11 to rotate towards the hanging ring 4 so that the limiting plate 11 and one side of the protective plug 3 are tightly fitted so as to play a certain limiting role for the protective plug 3, ensuring that the protective plug 3 tightly seals the socket 2 and achieves dustproof and moisture-proof protection. When fiber optic adapter 1 is needed, the operator can first rotate the rotating plate 7 to make the rotating plate 7 vertical. At this time, the protective plug 3 is no longer limited. Then, the protective plug 3 can be pulled by the hanging ring 4 to remove the protective plug 3 from the socket 2. Then, the limiting plate 11 is pressed to move the limiting plate 11 into the slide groove 8. Then, the hanging ring 4 is hung on the rotating plate 7. After hanging, the limiting plate 11 is reset to limit the protective plug 3. Then, the hanging ring 4 and the rotating plate 7 are rotated into the storage groove 5.
