The enclosure 1 is a case including the components of the optical cable terminal box according to an embodiment of the present invention, and may be installed on a pole, a building wall, a terminal box or the like. The housing 1 may have a rectangular shape and a coupling portion (not shown) may be formed on the rear surface of the housing 1 so as to be fixed to a pole, a building wall, or a terminal box. The housing 1 serves to protect each structure of the optical cable terminal box, the optical cable 3 and the optical core wire 9 from rain or foreign matter from the outside according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The winding unit 110 is provided inside the housing 1 and a plurality of optical core wires 9 branched from the optical cable 3 or the optical cable are wound around the winding unit 110. The winding unit 110 is for facilitating the arrangement of the optical cable 3 and the optical core line 9, and plays a role of solving the complication of wiring and the problem of inter-wiring interference. The optical cable can be divided into a 1-splitter (optical fiber splitter) -n optical core lines. The winding unit 110 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of divided winding units Provide space.

2, the take-up unit 110 includes a take-up reel 116 and a take-up reel 116 which are fastened to the engaging portion 114 'formed on the inner surface of the housing and can wind the optical fiber or the optical core wire, And an optical cable or optical core wire is wound on both sides of the wind-up plate. The wind-up plate 117 is wound around the wind- Up tabs 113,

 The winding unit 110 can be coupled to the projecting thread 114 'formed on the inner surface of the housing and three winding spaces are formed for winding one optical core wire per winding unit 110. The manager has a take-up reel 116, a lower take-up tab 115 protruding from one side of the take-up plate 117, and an upper take-up tab 113 protruding from the other side of the take- The optical fiber and / or the optical core wire can be separately wound. When a plurality of optical core wires are wrapped around the divided winding windings, or m (m is an integer), are wrapped and connected to the adapter, the optical core wire in which a problem occurs is removed, Maintenance is very easy because the wiring is separated by spaces during maintenance work.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, the winding unit 110 can be further combined to meet the needs of the manager. On one side of the central portion of the take-up reel 116, a projecting thread capable of engaging another take-up reel is formed, and on the other side of the central portion, a thread threadedly engaged with the projecting thread 114 is formed. Therefore, when additional winding space is required, the manager can additionally create a winding space by combining the other winding reel with the projecting threads 114 formed on the winding reel.

For example, let us consider an embodiment in which one optical cable branched into 32 optical core lines using a splitter is introduced into the terminal box. The manager can bundle 32 optical core wires into four separate winding windings formed by the winder 110. In this case, since eight winding spaces are required, the manager can combine the three winding units 110 and use them. That is, one group of optical core wires L1, L2, L3, and L4 are wound on the take-up reel of the first take-up portion and a group of optical core wires L5, L6, L7, and L8 are wound on the bottom of the first take- L14, L15 and L16 of the optical fiber core lines L9, L10, L11 and L12 of one group are connected to the top winding tab of the first winding section, A group of optical core wires L17, L18, L19 and L20 are connected to the lower-end winding tabs of the second winding section and a group of optical core wires L21, L22, L23 and L24 are connected to the second- A total of 32 optical core lines can be arranged in such a manner that the optical core wires are wound on the upper winding tab.

Accordingly, when the user wants to remove or change a part of the optical core wire, the manager can separate the winding part around which the optical core wire is wound and perform the operation. If necessary, the order of the winding part can be changed. FIG. 2 shows an embodiment in which the engaging portions of the respective take-up reels support the screw engagement. However, the engaging portion may be means for assisting engagement of male and female engaging portions. That is, the engaging portion 114 formed on the inner surface of the housing and the upper portion of the take-up reel may be a fitting protrusion for fitting the fitting portion, and a fitting portion (not shown) have.

The optical cable terminal box of the present invention is provided with a slot panel (not shown) having a plurality of adapters 7 fixedly coupled to an upper surface thereof and having a button portion 125 corresponding to each adapter 7, (120). The button unit 125 may be provided as many as the number of each row of adapters provided in the slot panel 120. In general, the number n of the optical core lines to be branched is a multiple of 2. As shown in FIG. 1, This is because it is common that the adapter 7 is used row by row when two slots are provided in each row.

When the slot of the slot panel is used, that is, when the optical core wire is connected to the adapter 7, the administrator can input whether or not to use the button portion 125 corresponding to the connected row. The button unit 125 may include an LED element. The LED may be turned on when the first input operation is received, and may be turned off when the first input operation is input after receiving the input. Can operate. Further, in the button unit 125, an ON / OFF signal corresponding to the pressing operation of the button unit 125 is generated, and the generated signal is transmitted to the control unit 130.

The control unit 130 receives the signal generated in the button unit, and generates slot usage information using the received signal. The slot usage information is information indicating whether or not each slot of the slot panel 120 is used. The slot usage information is transmitted to the server 200 through the communication unit 150. The administrator can confirm the number of slots in the optical cable terminal box by receiving the slot usage information from the server 200 through the terminal. Therefore, even if the administrator managing the optical cable terminal box is changed, the changed administrator can access the server 200 to receive the slot usage information in advance, and can determine whether the slot panel 120 needs to be changed or whether the rewinder 110 is additionally needed It is very easy to manage because it can visit the site and perform maintenance after confirming whether it is.

On one side of the lower surface of the housing 1, an optical cable hole 13 through which the optical cable is inserted and a optical core line 9 formed on the other side of the lower surface of the housing 1 through the slot panel 120 are drawn out And optical core line hole 19 are included. The optical cable terminal box according to an embodiment of the present invention is formed in one side space of the slot panel 120 and is attached to the inner side surface of the housing 1, And a multi-stage guide 140 for guiding the withdrawal.

The remaining portion of the optical cable and the optical core line hole 19 except for the portion where the optical cable and the optical core wire are drawn and drawn is sealed to protect each component provided in the enclosure 1 from external foreign matter .

The information generating unit 133 may receive a signal generated according to a pushing operation of the button unit 125 from the button unit 125 and may generate slot usage information using the received signal. In addition, if the sensor value received by the sensor unit 170 is equal to or greater than a predetermined reference value, an inspection request signal can be generated and further transmitted to the server 200. Therefore, when an impact due to an external force is generated in the optical cable terminal box, it is possible to notify the server 200 of the damage through transmission of the inspection request signal and request the inspection of the manager.

The authentication unit 135 transmits an authentication request signal to the terminal 300 when an arbitrary terminal 300 is within a preset range from the enclosure 1 and receives identification information of the terminal 300 from the terminal 300 And transmits the identification information to the server 200 to confirm whether the terminal 300 is an authenticated terminal. For example, the communication unit 150 may include a short-range communication module such as Bluetooth or NFC, and may recognize that the terminal 300 is close to the short-range wireless communication system. Upon receiving the identification information from the terminal 300, the authentication unit 135 transmits the identification information to the server 200 and confirms whether the terminal 300 is an authenticated terminal.

The information management unit 137 transmits the slot usage information to the terminal 300 when the confirmation by the authentication unit 135 is completed and upon receiving the winding unit number information coupled to the housing from the terminal 300, It is possible to add the winding part number information to the server 200. For example, the administrator accessing the optical cable terminal box can receive the slot usage information of the enclosure 10 through the optical cable terminal box management application program installed in the terminal 300 when the authentication is completed. Of course, the slot usage information may be received from the server 200 in advance.

The manager can input the number information of the winding unit 110 installed in the housing 1 through the application program installed in the terminal 300 since the housing 1 does not have a separate input device. For example, since two winding units 110 are combined in Fig. 1, the manager can input 2 as the number information of winding units. That is, the administrator inputs or deletes the number information of the winding unit by inputting the number of slots by pressing a button corresponding to a row of a slot to be used every time the optical cable is installed or installed or maintenance of the optical cable is performed, Can be recorded. When the number information of the winding unit 110 is combined with the slot use information, the information management unit 137 compares the identification number of the enclosure, the identification number of the slot, whether or not the slot is used, By updating the slot usage information including the number of mounting information to the server 200, all the administrators accessing the server 200 can confirm how many winding sections are attached to the optical cable terminal box and how many slots are used .

The storage unit 139 may store the sensor value measured by the sensor unit 170, the slot usage information generated by the information generation unit 133, and the like.

The communication unit 150 transmits the slot usage information to the server 200. [ The slot use information may include an identification number of the enclosure, an identification number of a slot preset in each slot, and whether each slot is used. The communication unit 150 may include a communication module that supports a wireless communication method such as WIFI, Wibro, Zigbee for data transmission / reception with the server 200 and / or the terminal 300, A communication module supporting a short-range communication method such as Bluetooth, BLE, NFC for communication, and the like.
