DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0020] The terms "first," "second," and the like in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or precedence. It should be understood that the terms used in this manner are interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of this application can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein, and that the objects distinguished by "first," "second," and the like are generally of the same type, and do not limit the number of objects; for example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, the term "and / or" in the specification and claims refers to at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the objects connected are in an "or" relationship.

[0021] The line handover equipment provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below through specific embodiments and application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7. The line handover equipment disclosed in the embodiment of the present application includes a device body 100 and an operating platform 200. The operating platform 200 can be connected to different positions of the device body 100. Specifically, the device body 100 is provided with an area to be operated 111, a first connecting structure 310 and a third connecting structure 400. The operating platform 200 can be connected to the first connecting structure 310 or the third connecting structure 400. When the operating platform 200 is connected to the first connecting structure 310, the operating platform 200 can carry external tools, and the external tools can be used to operate the structure of the device body 100 in the area to be operated 111 to ensure the performance of the area to be operated 111.

[0023] In one embodiment, the area to be operated 111 can be a welding area, and the welding area has a welding disk, and the welding operation can be performed in the welding area. Of course, the area to be operated 111 can also be a bonding area, and the bonding operation can be performed in the bonding area. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the operation method of the area to be operated 111.

[0024] The operating platform 200 is provided with a second connection structure 210 . The operating platform 200 is detachably connected to the third connection structure 400 . The operating platform 200 is detachably connected to the second connection structure 210 via the first connection structure 310 . In one embodiment, the operating platform 200 is detachably connected to the third connecting structure 400, thereby realizing a detachable connection between the two. Similarly, the operating platform 200 can be detachably connected to the second connecting structure 210 through the first connecting structure 310, thereby realizing a detachable connection between the operating platform 200 and the second connecting structure 210. In one embodiment, the operating platform 200 and the third connecting structure 400 can be detachably connected by means of snap connection, bolt connection, etc., and the first connecting structure 310 and the second connecting structure 210 can be detachably connected by means of snap connection, bolt connection, etc.; alternatively, the operating platform 200 and the third connecting structure 400, and the first connecting structure 310 and the second connecting structure 210 can also be connected by means of non-detachable means such as bonding, and the operating platform 200 and the third connecting structure 400, as well as the first connecting structure 310 and the second connecting structure 210, can be separated by external force or by dissolving the adhesive.

[0025] In one embodiment, the operating platform 200 may be detachably connected to the third connecting structure 400 via the second connecting structure 210 , or may be detachably connected to the third connecting structure 400 via other structures other than the second connecting structure 210 .

[0026] 2 and 6 , when the first connection structure 310 is connected to the second connection structure 210, the operating platform 200 is located at the location of the waiting area 111. In this case, the operating platform 200 can serve as a carrier to support external tools. Furthermore, the operating platform 200 is relatively close to the components to be operated in the waiting area 111, allowing external tools to be used directly in the waiting area 111. In one embodiment, the operating platform 200 can be a thin structural member such as a carrier plate, or a thick structural member such as a base platform. The specific structure of the operating platform 200 is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0027] When the first connecting structure 310 is separated from the second connecting structure 210, the operating platform 200 can be connected to the third connecting structure 400. In this case, the operating platform 200 is not in the waiting area 111 and does not serve as a supporting member. In one embodiment, the third connecting structure 400 can be used only to accommodate the operating platform 200, or it can be connected to the operating platform 200 to enable the operating platform 200 to have other working states. This embodiment of the application does not impose any specific limitations on the third connecting structure 400.

[0028] In an embodiment of the present application, the operating platform 200 can be connected to the device body 100 through the first connecting structure 310 and the second connecting structure 210, so that the operating platform 200 is located at the location of the operating area 111 of the device body 100. In this way, the operating platform 200 can be used to carry welding machines, line stripping tools, cutting knives and other tools needed during the operation process. Moreover, the operating platform 200 is close to the operating area 111, and there is no need to take out the welding tray or other components to be welded in the line handover equipment and lead them to the operating platform 200 outside the line handover equipment or the ground for operation. The tools carried by the operating platform 200 can be used to directly operate the operating area 111, which is conducive to simplifying the operation process, making the operation process more convenient, and avoiding affecting other lines outside the operating area 111.

[0029] The line handover equipment in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to the FTTx (Fiber To The X) technical field. There are many fiber optic access methods. The line handover equipment can be applied to FTTC (Fiber To The Cabinet), FTTB (Fiber To The Building), FTTH (Fiber To The Home), FTTM (Fiber To The Machine), FTTD (Fiber To The Desktop), FTTR (Fiber To The Room) or other access methods in the fiber optic access method. The line handover equipment can be an optical cable handover box or an optical fiber splitter box. Of course, the line handover equipment can also be applied to other communication technology fields besides the fiber optic access technology field.

[0030] In one embodiment, the third connection structure 400 may be a receiving groove, which is only used to receive the operating platform 200 . That is, the third connection structure 400 only provides a receiving space for the operating platform 200 which does not play a bearing support role.

[0031] In another embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 and 4 , when the first connecting structure 310 is separated from the second connecting structure 210 and the operating platform 200 is connected to the third connecting structure 400, the operating platform 200 serves as a functional component. In other words, when the operating platform 200 is not used to carry tools and provide an operable space, the operating platform 200 can have other functions.

[0032] The operating platform 200 can be used as a functional component, and vice versa, the functional component can also be used as the operating platform 200. Therefore, the line switching device does not need to set up a separate operating platform 200, and only needs to use its own functional components as the operating platform 200, realizing dual use of one thing.

[0033] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG1 , the functional components include a protective cover 200a. When the operating platform 200 is connected to the third connecting structure 400, the operating platform 200 functions as the protective cover 200a, shielding the area to be operated 111. When the operating platform 200 is separated from the third connecting structure 400, the second connecting structure 210 can be connected to the first connecting structure 310. In one embodiment, the device body 100 includes a main cavity 110 and a door panel 130. The main cavity 110 has an opening. The door panel 130 is rotatably connected to the main cavity 110 via a hinge structure to open or close the opening. When the door panel 130 closes the opening, the plane on which the protective cover 200a lies is parallel to the plane on which the door panel 130 lies.

[0034] In one embodiment, the third connecting structure 400 may be a connecting member disposed on a cavity wall of the main cavity 110 opposite the opening. The connecting member is provided with a first threaded hole, and an edge of the operating platform 200 is provided with a first opening. A first fastener, such as a bolt, is sequentially passed through the first opening and the first threaded hole to connect the operating platform 200 to the third connecting structure 400. In another embodiment, there may be multiple third connecting structures 400, each of which is provided with a first threaded hole. The edge of the operating platform 200 is provided with multiple first openings, and the first threaded holes, the first opening, and the first fasteners correspond one-to-one.

[0035] In this embodiment, the operating platform 200 is not only used to carry external tools and provide an operating space, but can also be used as a protective cover 200a to protect the area to be operated 111, preventing other components from affecting the area to be operated 111 when there is no need to operate the area to be operated 111, thereby ensuring the safety performance of the area to be operated 111.

[0036] In another embodiment, as shown in Figure 4, the device body includes a main cavity 110 and a base 120, the area to be operated 111 is located in the main cavity 110, the base 120 is arranged at the bottom of the main cavity 110, and the base 120 is provided with a connecting cavity 121 and a window 122 connected to each other. The connecting cavity 121 is connected to the main cavity 110, and the third connecting structure 400 is arranged at the edge of the window 122. The functional components include a maintenance window 200b. When the operating platform 200 is connected to the third connecting structure 400, the operating platform 200 serves as the maintenance window 200b, and the maintenance window 200b closes the window 122. When the operating platform 200 is separated from the third connecting structure 400, the maintenance window 200b is detached from the window 122, and the window 122 is in an open state. The operator can operate in the transfer cavity 121 through the window 122 to assist the lines in the transfer cavity 121 to pass through the main cavity 110. At the same time, the second connecting structure 210 and the first connecting structure 310 can be connected so that the operating platform 200 can be used to carry external tools and provide an operable space.

[0037] In this embodiment, the operating platform 200 is not only used to carry external tools and provide an operating space, but can also be used as a maintenance window 200b to close the adapter cavity 121 of the base 120, providing protection for the circuits and other devices in the base 120, thereby improving the safety performance of the base 120.

[0038] Of course, the functional components are not limited to including the protective cover 200 a and the maintenance window 200 b . In other embodiments, the functional components may also include other components of the device body 100 .

[0039] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, a mounting member 300 is provided within the device body 100, and a first connecting structure 310 is provided on the mounting member 300. One of the first connecting structure 310 and the second connecting structure 210 is a hanging hole 311, and the other is a hook member 211. The hook member 211 can be hung in the hanging hole 311 to fix the operating platform 200 relative to the device body 100. Specifically, the first connecting structure 310 is a hanging hole 311, and the second connecting structure 210 is a hook member 211, or the first connecting structure 310 is a hook member 211, and the second connecting structure 210 is a hanging hole 311. In one embodiment, the mounting member 300 can be provided on one side of the area to be operated 111, so that the mounting member 300 can be connected to the operating platform 200, so that the operating platform 200 is located at the location of the area to be operated 111.

[0040] The hook member 211 is matched with the hanging hole 311, so that the connection operation between the operating platform 200 and the mounting member 300 is more convenient. The hook member 211 can be directly hung into the hanging hole 311, avoiding the more complicated operations such as screwing required by the bolt connection method, and the operating platform 200 is more convenient to use.

[0041] Of course, the mounting member 300 and the operating platform 200 may also be connected using other structures. In other embodiments, one of the first connecting structure 310 and the second connecting structure 210 is a second opening, and the other is a second threaded hole. A second fastener such as a bolt is used to penetrate the second opening and the second threaded hole to fix the operating platform 200 at the location of the area to be operated 111.

[0042] In one embodiment, the device body 100 is provided with a mounting member 300 , which is provided with only a first connecting structure 310 . The first connecting structure 310 can be connected to the second connecting structure 210 , so that the position of the operating platform 200 relative to the operating area 111 is fixed.

[0043] In another embodiment, the mounting member 300 is provided with at least two first connection structures 310 at intervals, and the second connection structure 210 can be connected to different first connection structures 310 to adjust the position of the operating platform 200 relative to the device body 100. In one embodiment, the second connection structure 210 and the different first connection structures 310 can be connected using the hook method, bolt connection, or other methods described above.

[0044] The second connecting structure 210 is connected to different first connecting structures 310, which can change the position of the second connecting structure 210 relative to the mounting member 300, thereby adjusting the position of the operating platform 200 relative to the device body 100, adjusting the placement position of external tools and the position of the operable space, and facilitating operation of the operating area 111 from different positions.

[0045] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG2 , the mounting member 300 is provided with at least two first connection structures 310 spaced apart along a first direction A, which is parallel to the height direction of the device body 100. Thus, by connecting the second connection structure 210 to different first connection structures 310, the height position of the operating platform 200 can be adjusted, facilitating operation of the operating area 111 from different heights.

[0046] In one embodiment, the operation area 111 has a plurality of pads arranged in the height direction. By adjusting the height position of the operation platform 200 , the operation platform 200 is made to face different pads, so as to facilitate the use of tools to perform welding operations on pads at different heights.

[0047] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG2 , the mounting member 300 is provided with at least two first connecting structures 310 spaced apart along a second direction B. The second direction B intersects the first direction A. In one embodiment, the first direction A is perpendicular to the second direction B. Of course, the second direction B may intersect but not be perpendicular to the first direction A. In this manner, by connecting the second connecting structures 210 to different first connecting structures 310 , the position of the operating platform 200 in the depth or width direction of the device body 100 can be adjusted, thereby changing the distance between the operating platform 200 and the area to be welded in the depth or width direction of the device body 100, thereby allowing the operating platform 200 to be closer or farther away from the area to be welded as needed.

[0048] When the first direction A is perpendicular to the second direction B, the second direction B shown in FIG. 2 is the depth direction of the device body 100 , and the second direction B may also be the width direction of the device body 100 .

[0049] In one embodiment, the device body 100 is provided with only one mounting member 300 , the mounting member 300 is provided with a first connection structure 310 , and the number of the second connection structure 210 is one, and the second connection structure 210 is connected to the first connection structure 310 on the mounting member.

[0050] In another embodiment, as shown in Figure 2, the device body 100 is provided with at least two spaced-apart mounting members 300, each mounting member 300 is provided with a first connecting structure 310, and the number of second connecting structures 210 is at least two, wherein the two second connecting structures 210 are respectively arranged at two opposite edges of the operating platform 200, and the second connecting structures 210 correspond one-to-one to the mounting members 300.

[0051] According to this embodiment, multiple mounting parts 300 are provided to connect to different positions of the operating platform 200, thereby increasing the connection area between the device body 100 and the operating platform 200, which is beneficial to improving the connection stability of the operating platform 200 and helping the operating platform 200 to more stably support external tools.

[0052] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG3 , a bending structure 230 is provided on the edge of an operating platform 200. The operating platform 200 has a supporting surface 220. The bending structure 230 is bent toward the side facing the supporting surface 220 to protrude from the supporting surface 220. In one embodiment, the operating platform 200 is a supporting plate, and the bending structure 230 can be a bent edge or other structure capable of protruding from the supporting surface 220. The specific structure of the bending structure 230 is not limited in this embodiment of the present application; the bending structure 230 can be provided on only one side of the supporting plate, or on multiple sides of the supporting plate.

[0053] In this embodiment, the bending structure 230 is used to prevent the tools on the supporting surface 220 from sliding off the edge of the operating platform 200, thereby preventing the tools on the supporting surface 220 from falling from the operating platform 200, which is conducive to the operating platform 200 supporting external tools more stably.

[0054] Of course, in other embodiments, the edge of the operating platform 200 may not be provided with the bending structure 230 , that is, the supporting surface 220 directly extends to the edge of the operating platform 200 .

[0055] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 7, the line handover equipment also includes a flexible connector 500. When the operating platform 200 is connected to the second connecting structure 210 through the first connecting structure 310, the first end of the flexible connector 500 can be connected to the edge of the operating platform 200 away from the area to be operated 111, and the second end of the flexible connector 500 can be connected to the equipment body 100.

[0056] In one embodiment, the flexible connector 500 can be a structure such as a connecting rope or a connecting belt. A first connecting hole can be set at the edge of the operating platform 200, and a second connecting hole can be set on the device body 100. When the operating platform 200 is connected to the second connecting structure 210 through the first connecting structure 310, the first end of the flexible connector 500 passes through the first connecting hole and is knotted, and the second end of the flexible connector 500 passes through the second connecting hole and is knotted. Of course, the two ends of the flexible connector 500 can also adopt other connection methods.

[0057] By using a flexible connector 500, the edge of the operating platform 200 away from the area to be operated 111 is connected to the device body 100, avoiding the part of the operating platform 200 away from the area to be operated 111 being directly suspended in the air, which is beneficial to increasing the connection area between the operating platform 200 and the device body 100 and improving the connection stability of the operating platform 200.

[0058] Of course, in other embodiments, the line handover device may not be provided with the flexible connector 500 . When the operating platform 200 is located at the operation area 111 , the operating platform 200 and the device body 100 are connected only through the first connection structure 310 and the second connection structure 210 .

[0059] The embodiments of the present application are described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present application is not limited to the above-mentioned specific implementation methods. The above-mentioned specific implementation methods are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Under the guidance of this application, ordinary technicians in this field can also make many forms without departing from the purpose of this application and the scope of protection of the claims, all of which are within the protection of this application.
