Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0019] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0020] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.
[0021] See Figures 1-5As shown, this embodiment of the utility model provides a network device interface 2, including a socket 21, a positioning groove 22, a first connector 23, a second connector 24, a first protective member 25, and a second protective member 26. The socket 21 is located on the network device body 1, specifically on the outer wall of the network device body 1. The socket 21 has a first hole wall 211, and a fiber optic adapter is provided inside the socket 21 for connecting optical fibers. The positioning groove 22 is formed in the first hole wall 211, and the length direction of the positioning groove 22 is parallel to the depth direction of the socket 21. The first connector 23 and the second connector 24 are also included. 4. The first connector 23 includes a first protruding section 231, which is elastic and can be a spring-loaded structure, and the second connector 24 includes a second protruding section 241, which is also elastic and can be a spring-loaded structure. The first and second protruding sections 231 and 241 protrude towards the central axis of the positioning groove 22, and the interval between the first and second protruding sections 231 and 241 forms a limiting channel for the fiber optic head 5 to pass through. Specifically, as shown in the figure... Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the fiber optic head 5 is provided with a protrusion 51, and the limiting channel is used for the protrusion 51 to pass through; the central axis of the positioning groove 22 is the central axis extending along the length of the positioning groove 22; the first protective member 25 is connected to the end of the first connector 23 near the fiber optic adapter, and the second protective member 26 is connected to the end of the second connector 24 near the fiber optic adapter; the first protective member 25 and the second protective member 26 are arranged opposite to each other to enclose the fiber optic adapter and can protect the fiber optic adapter; when the first protruding section 231 and the second protruding section 241 are pressed against the groove wall of the positioning groove 22, the first protective member 25 and the second protective member 26 move away from each other, exposing the fiber optic adapter.
[0022] When the optical fiber is not connected, the first protective component 25 and the second protective component 26 are positioned opposite each other, sealing the optical fiber adapter and providing shielding protection for the optical fiber interface. This does not affect the optical fiber connection during use and effectively prevents dust from affecting the optical path quality, reducing the risk of high optical attenuation caused by dust. When connecting the optical fiber, the optical fiber head 5 is inserted into the socket 21. The positioning groove 22 guides the insertion of the optical fiber head 5. Part of the optical fiber head 5 enters the limiting channel, pressing against the first protruding section 231 and the second protruding section 241. The first protruding section 231 and the second protruding section 241 undergo elastic deformation, providing cushioning and protection. This causes the first protective component 25 and the second protective component 26 to move away from each other, exposing the optical fiber adapter and facilitating the insertion of the optical fiber head 5 into the adapter.
[0023] The positioning groove 22 is formed on the first hole wall 211 of the insertion hole 21, and the positioning groove 22 is integrally formed with the insertion hole 21.
[0024] See Figure 3and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the positioning groove 22 includes a first groove segment 221 and a second groove segment 222. The width of the first groove segment 221 is smaller than the width of the second groove segment 222. The first groove segment 221 and the second groove segment 222 are sequentially arranged from the opening of the insertion hole 21 into the insertion hole 21 along the depth direction of the insertion hole 21. The first groove segment 221 extends to the opening of the insertion hole 21, and the second groove segment 222 is disposed within the insertion hole 21. A first protruding segment 231 and a second protruding segment 241 are respectively disposed at the connection between the first groove segment 221 and the second groove segment 222, and the first protruding segment 231 and the second protruding segment 241 respectively extend into the second groove segment 222. The first groove segment 221 and the second groove segment 222 are interconnected. This configuration allows the first slot segment 221 to guide the optical fiber during insertion, while the second slot segment 222 has a larger slot width. When the first protruding segment 231 and the second protruding segment 241 are squeezed and move closer to the slot wall of the positioning slot 22, the second slot segment 222 can provide accommodating space for the movement of the first protective member 25 and the second protective member 26 away.
[0025] See Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the width of the first slot segment 221 is set to be the same length from the end connected to the second slot segment 222 to the other end; the width of the second slot segment 222 increases from the end connected to the first slot segment 221 to the other end, and the first protruding segment 231 and the second protruding segment 241 are fixed at the connection between the first slot segment 221 and the second slot segment 222. The first slot segment 221 is set as a straight slot, which can improve the guiding effect on the optical fiber. In particular, when the optical fiber head 5 is provided with a protrusion 51, the width of the first slot segment 221 is adapted to the width of the protrusion 51, so that the protrusion 51 can move along the first slot segment 221, thereby providing an effective guiding effect and ensuring that the optical fiber head 5 enters the second slot segment 222 accurately, avoiding offset and misalignment during the insertion process. When the first protruding section 231 and the second protruding section 241 are compressed, the first protruding section 231 will cause the first connecting member 23 between itself and the first protective member 25 to rotate, and the second protruding section 241 will cause the second connecting member 24 between itself and the second protective member 26 to rotate. The second groove section 222 is designed with an increased groove width to facilitate the rotation of the first connecting member 23 and the second connecting member 24. The space required for the rotation of the first connecting member 23 and the second connecting member 24 is small, while the end of the second groove section 222 away from the first groove section 221 has a sufficiently large accommodating space to accommodate the first protective member 25 and the second protective member 26. Therefore, this design can reduce the size of the positioning groove 22 while ensuring that the positioning groove 22 provides sufficient accommodating space, thereby improving the guiding effect. The second groove section 222 is designed to increase in size from the end connected to the first groove section 221 to the other end. The shape of the second groove section 222 is approximately trapezoidal, preferably isosceles trapezoidal.
[0026] The first protruding segment 231 can be connected to either the first groove segment 221 or the second groove segment 222. Similarly, the second protruding segment 241 can be connected to either the first groove segment 221 or the second groove segment 222. Both the first protruding segment 231 and the second protruding segment 241 can be configured as arc-shaped.
[0027] See Figures 3-5As shown, in some embodiments, the first connecting member 23 further includes a first fixing section 232 and a first rotating section 233, which are respectively connected to the two ends of the first protruding section 231. The first fixing section 232 is connected within the positioning groove 22, and the first protective member 25 is connected to the end of the first rotating section 233 away from the first protruding section 231. The second connecting member 24 further includes a second fixing section 242 and a second rotating section 243, which are respectively connected to the two ends of the second protruding section 241. The second fixing section 242 is connected within the positioning groove 22, and the second protective member 26 is connected to the end of the second rotating section 243 away from the second protruding section 241. The first fixing section 232 serves to fix the first connecting member 23, and the second fixing section 242 serves to fix the second connecting member 24. When the fiber optic connector 5 is inserted, the protrusion 51 of the fiber optic connector 5 contacts the first protruding section 231 and the second protruding section 241. When the protrusion 51 presses against the first and second protruding sections 231 and 241, the first and second protruding sections 231 and 241 undergo elastic deformation. The first and second protruding sections 231 and 241 move towards the groove wall of the positioning groove 22, respectively. The first rotating section 233 and the second rotating section 243 rotate, causing the first protective member 25 and the second protective member 26 to move away from each other, exposing the fiber optic adapter and facilitating the connection between the fiber optic connector 5 and the fiber optic adapter. After the fiber optic connector 5 is pulled out, the first and second protruding sections 231 and 241 lose their pressing effect and reset under their respective elastic action, causing the first rotating section 233 and the second rotating section 243 to rotate and reset, driving the first protective member 25 and the second protective member 26 to move closer to each other and reset, continuing to seal the fiber optic adapter and preventing dust from entering. This configuration allows the first protective component 25 and the second protective component 26 to move closer to each other and further away from each other without the need for an external power source, simplifying the structural design.
[0028] The first fixed section 232, the first protruding section 231, and the first rotating section 233 can be integrally formed. The second fixed section 242, the second protruding section 241, and the second rotating section 243 can also be integrally formed.
[0029] See Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the first fixing segment 232 and the second fixing segment 242 are respectively attached and fixed to the two opposite walls of the fixing groove. Neither the first fixing segment 232 nor the second fixing segment 242 protrudes from the two opposite walls of the positioning groove 22. The two opposite walls refer to the two opposite walls of the positioning groove 22 in the groove width direction. This arrangement ensures that the gap between the first fixing segment 232 and the second fixing segment 242 forms a guide channel, guaranteeing the smoothness of the guide channel and not affecting the insertion of the fiber optic head 5.
[0030] See Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the first fixed segment 232 and the second fixed segment 242 are respectively attached and fixed to two opposite groove walls of the first groove segment 221 in the groove width direction. The first protruding segment 231 is connected to the first groove segment 221 and partially extends into the second groove segment 222, and the second protruding segment 241 is connected to the first groove segment 221 and partially extends into the second groove segment 222. The second groove segment 222 can also provide space for the elastic deformation of the first protruding segment 231 and the second protruding segment 241. The first rotating segment 233 and the second rotating segment 243 are placed at intervals within the second groove segment 222, with the first rotating segment 233 spaced apart from the groove wall of the second groove segment 222, and the second rotating segment 243 spaced apart from the groove wall of the second groove segment 222, so as to ensure that the second groove segment 222 can provide space for the rotation of the first rotating segment 233 and the second rotating segment 243.
[0031] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, both the first protective member 25 and the second protective member 26 are sheet-like. The first protective member 25 has a first protective surface, and the second protective member 26 has a second protective surface. When no optical fiber is connected, the first and second protective surfaces are mated together, blocking the optical fiber adapter. The first protective surface is perpendicular to the length extension direction of the first connector 23, and the second protective surface is perpendicular to the length extension direction of the second connector 24. The first rotating segment 233 of the first connector 23 is connected to the side of the first protective member 25 away from the second protective member 26; the second rotating segment 243 of the second connector 24 is connected to the side of the second protective member 26 away from the first protective member 25. The first rotating segment 233 is inclined toward one wall of the second slot segment 222, which is the wall located close to the first rotating segment 233. The second rotating segment 243 is inclined toward the other wall of the second slot segment 222.
[0032] See Figures 3-5As shown, in some embodiments, the network device interface 2 further includes a sleeve 27 connected to the first hole wall 211, and the sleeve 27 is located between the first protective member 25, the second protective member 26, and the fiber optic adapter. The first protective member 25 and the second protective member 26 close the opening 271 of the sleeve 27 facing the hole 21. When the first protruding section 231 and the second protruding section 241 are pressed against the groove wall of the positioning groove 22, the first protective member 25 and the second protective member 26 move away from each other, exposing the opening 271 of the sleeve 27. In use, the fiber optic head 5 passes through the sleeve 27 and connects to the fiber optic adapter. The sleeve 27 binds the fiber core position of the fiber optic head 5 by fitting, ensuring that the fiber optic head 5 can be stably connected when inserted into the fiber optic adapter, preventing the fiber optic head 5 from loosening or falling off due to vibration or external force, thereby improving the reliability and stability of fiber optic communication. The first rotating section 233 and the second rotating section 243 extend towards the sleeve 27, respectively. The first protective component 25 is fixed on the top end face of the first rotating section 233 near the sleeve 27, and the second protective component 26 is fixed on the top end face of the second rotating section 243 near the sleeve 27, forming a shielding structure for the opening 271 of the sleeve 27, providing additional protection for the sleeve 27, preventing dust and impurities from the external environment from entering the sleeve 27 and causing damage to the ceramic sleeve or fiber core, or causing unstable data transmission, thus ensuring reliable optical signal transmission.
[0033] See Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the network device interface 2 further includes a protective shell 28 disposed within the socket 21. The protective shell 28 is fitted against the inner wall of the socket 21. The first connector 23, the second connector 24, the first protective member 25, the second protective member 26, and the positioning groove 22 are all disposed within the protective shell 28. The protective shell 28 is a wear-resistant protective shell 28, which can provide wear-resistant protection and prevent wear during repeated plugging and unplugging.
[0034] See Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the insertion hole 21 further includes a second hole wall 212 and a third hole wall 213, which are spaced apart from each other, with a first hole wall 211 located between the second hole wall 212 and the third hole wall 213. Both the second hole wall 212 and the third hole wall 213 are provided with positioning elements 29. Each positioning element 29 has a guide surface 2911 on its side facing the central axis of the insertion hole 21, and the guide surface 2911 is inclined towards the central axis of the insertion hole 21. The positioning element 29 achieves positioning during the connection process of the fiber optic connector 5, ensuring accurate positioning during the connection process, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the connection. The guide surface 2911 guides the insertion of the fiber optic connector 5. The positioning element 29 can be fixed to the inner wall of the protective shell 28.
[0035] See Figure 3As shown, the positioning component 29 includes a first positioning segment 291 and a second positioning segment 292. The first positioning segment 291 is positioned near the opening of the insertion hole 21 and protrudes towards the central axis of the insertion hole 21. The second positioning segment 292 is connected to the end of the first positioning segment 291 away from the opening of the insertion hole 21. A guide surface 2911 is provided on the first positioning segment 291. The first positioning segment 291 protrudes from the second positioning segment 292, ensuring the guiding function of the guide surface 2911 and facilitating the insertion of the fiber optic head 5.
[0036] See Figure 1 As shown, this utility model also provides a network device, including a network device body 1 and a network device interface 2 as described above, wherein the network device interface 2 is disposed on the network device body 1.
[0037] See Figure 1 As shown, the network device body 1 also has a take-up slot 3 and a take-in slot 4. The take-in slot 4 is used to fix the fiber optic cable inlet, and the take-up slot 3 is used to accommodate excess fiber optic cable. In use, the fiber optic cable enters through the take-in slot 4 and connects to the interface of the network device body 1, while excess fiber optic cable is accommodated in the take-up slot 3.
[0038] Optionally, the network device is an optical modem. Network device interface 2 is the interface of the optical modem.
[0039] Optical modems are common terminal devices, and weak light from them can affect service quality and lead to a poor customer experience. Currently, among the causes of weak light, interface dust and loose connections account for a high proportion, requiring on-site inspection of the interfaces and consuming significant network maintenance resources. This invention can improve the communication stability of optical modems during use, reduce weak light issues caused by interface dust and loose fiber optic cables, and improve the service quality of home broadband and enterprise networks.
[0040] The working process of this utility model is as follows: During the insertion of the fiber optic connector 5 into the interface, the protrusion 51 of the fiber optic connector 5 first enters the first groove 221 and moves along the first groove 221 into the insertion hole 21. Here, the first groove 221 serves to guide and fix the fiber optic connector 5. When the protrusion 51 moves to the position of the first protrusion 231 and the second protrusion 241, the fiber optic connector 5 is further inserted. The protrusion 51 contacts the first protrusion 231 and the second protrusion 241. After the protrusion 51 enters the limiting channel, the protrusion 51 will squeeze the first protrusion. Section 231 and the second protruding section 241 cause elastic deformation of the first protruding section 231 and the second protruding section 241. As the protruding strip 51 continues to be inserted inward, the first protective member 25 and the second protective member 26 gradually move to both sides, exposing the opening 271 of the sleeve 27. The fiber optic head 5 is connected to the optical modem through the sleeve 27. The inner diameter of the sleeve 27 is similar to the outer diameter of the ferrule of the fiber optic head 5, which can fix the fiber optic head 5 and prevent the fiber optic head 5 from loosening or falling off due to vibration or external force.
[0041] In summary, this utility model embodiment provides a network device interface 2 and a network device. When the optical fiber is not connected, the first protective member 25 and the second protective member 26 are arranged opposite to each other, sealing the optical fiber adapter and forming a shielding protection for the optical fiber interface, effectively avoiding the impact of dust on the optical path quality and reducing the large optical attenuation caused by dust. When connecting the optical fiber, the optical fiber head 5 is inserted into the socket 21. The positioning groove 22 guides the insertion of the optical fiber head 5. The optical fiber head 5 partially enters the limiting channel and squeezes the first protruding section 231 and the second protruding section 241, causing the first protective member 25 and the second protective member 26 to move away from each other, exposing the optical fiber adapter and facilitating the insertion of the optical fiber head 5 into the optical fiber adapter.
[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and substitutions should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
