技术领域
本申请涉及通信技术领域,特别涉及一种光纤配线设备和光纤调度系统。
背景技术
随着光纤接入(Fiber To The X,FTTX)的普及,光纤资源的应用愈加密集。在数据中心(data center)、光分配网络(Optical Distribution Network,ODN)和街边柜等场景,存在大量的光纤调度和端口级光交叉需求。自动光纤配线架(Automated Optical Distribution Frame,AODF)为用于光纤通信系统中局端主干光缆的成端和分配,可方便地实现光纤线路的连接、分配和调度,能够进行远程控制,具有端口切换响应迅速的优势。其它光纤配线设备或光纤管理系统,例如,光纤配线架(Optical Distribution Frame,ODF)亦具有光纤调度的需求。
现有技术中的光纤配线设备中需要布置较多的适配器端口和大量的光纤,需要接通某条光通路时,需要将对应的光纤插入对应的适配器端口中。大量光纤的存储,占用光纤配线设备较多的空间。而且光纤调度系统需要存储每根光纤的位置及信息,调用时,也要先定位到需用的光纤的位置,将光纤插入对应的适配器端口的过程也需要避开其它已经连接至适配器端口的光纤,使得光纤调度及配线的过程较为复杂,光纤网络运营商的工作人员需要进行的调纤操作日益繁重。
因此,需要研究一种即节约空间,又易于操作的光纤配线设备。

具体实施方式
下面结合本发明实施例中的附图对本发明实施例进行描述。
本申请所涉及的光纤配线设备应用于光网络技术。光网络技术是指使用光纤传输的网络结构技术。光网络技术不仅仅是简单的光纤传输链路,它是在光纤提供的大容量、长距离、高可靠性的传输媒质的基础上,利用光和电子控制技术实现多节点网络的互联和灵活调度。光网络一般指使用光纤作为主要传输介质的广域网、城域网或者新建的大范围的局域网。
本申请一种实施方式提供的光网络或光纤调度系统为ODN(Optical Distribution Network,光分配网)。ODN是基于PON(Passive Optical Network,无源光纤网络)设备的FTTH(Fiber-To-The-Home,光纤到户)线缆网络,其作用是为OLT(Optical Line Terminal,光线路终端)和ONU(Optical Network Unit,光网络单元)之间提供光传输通道。从功能上分,ODN从局端到用户端可分为馈线线缆子系统,配线线缆子系统,入户线线缆子系统和光纤终端子系统四个部分。
图1所示为一种ODN架构。参阅图1,局端OLT为馈线线缆子系统,光分配点为配线线缆子系统,光接入点为入户线线缆子系统,用户终端为光纤终端子系统。局端OLT和光分配点之间通过馈线线缆实现光通路,光分配点和光接入点之间通过配线线缆实现光通路,光接入点和用户终端之间通过入户线缆实现光通路。具体而言,从局端OLT(双称为局端机房)的ODF(Optical Distribution Frame,光纤配线架)到光分配点的馈线线缆作为主干线缆实现长距离覆盖;从光分配点到光接入点的配线线缆用于对馈线线缆的沿途用户区域进行光纤的就近分配;从光接入点到用户终端的入户线缆实现光纤入户。图1中的Closure为线缆接头盒,FDT为光交箱(即线缆交接箱,Fiber Distribution Terminal),SPL为分光器(splitter),FAT为光纤分纤箱,ATB为光纤终端盒,ONT为光网络终端。本申请提供的光纤配线设备可以为图1所示的光网络中设置在局端OLT内的ODF,也可以为FDT。
具体而言,ODF是光网络(例如局域网)和光通信设备之间或不同的光通信设备之间的配线连接设备。ODF用于光纤通信系统中局端主干线缆的成端和分配,可方便地实现光纤线路的连接、分配和调度。随着网络集成程度越来越高,出现了集ODF、DDF(Digital Distribution Frame,数字配线架)、电源分配单元于一体的光数混合配线架,适用于光纤到小区、光纤到大楼、远端模组及无线基站的中小型配线系统。
本申请提供的光纤调度系统的另一种具体应用场景,应用于企业组网场景,如图2A所示。一种线缆网络智能管理系统包括部署在通信网管的中心机房(可以理解为主站管理系统)和多个站点(可以理解为分布在各级网络节点的子站交换系统)、设备(例如光纤远程交换设备)。中心机房为企业线缆网络管理系统的核心,中心机房通过通信接品模组与各站点进行光通信, 一种具体的实施方式中,中心机房内可以设置操作平台、主站服务器及若干通信接口模组。图2A示意性地绘出四个站点,即站点1、站点2、站点3和站点4,实际网络部署过程中,根据具体的情况,可以包括更多的站点,也可以只设置一个或两个站点。各站点均可视为一个子站交互系统,子站交互系统的架构可以与中心机房的架构相似。图2A示意性地绘出两个设备,即设备1和设备2,实际网络部署过程中,根据具体的情况,可以调节设备的数量。
如图2A所示,中心机房与各站点之间、中心机房与各设备之间、各站点之间、各站点与各设备之间均可以具有光通信的交互。图2B示以三个站点为例,示意性地描述了站点之间的交互方式。参阅图2B,各站点(站点1、站点2和站点3)均包括设备1、设备2、设备3、设备4、入局缆1、入局缆2、出局缆1、出局缆2、AODF。站点1的出局缆1与站点2的入局缆1连接,站点1的出局缆2与站点3的入局缆2连接,站点2的出局缆2与站点3的入局缆1连接,这样实现了任意两个站点之间的光通信。
图2B中的各站点内的AODF可以为本申请提供的光纤配线设备。在中心机房或各站点内均可以设置本申请提供的光纤配线设备,通过光纤配线设备的接线面板上的输入端口和输出端口实现站点之间、设备之间、或站点与设备之间的光通信业务的交互,在数据中心内,光纤配线设备可以实现同一楼层的不同设备之间的互连,当不同楼层的设备之间有需求进行业务互连时,可以将设备连接至本楼层的光纤配线设备,再通过楼间线缆将本楼层的光线配线设备连接至其它楼层的光线配线设备,也就是说本申请提供的光线配线设备也可以与其它的光线配线设备之间通过线缆实现光通信连接。
一种实施方式中,本申请提供的光纤配线设备可以实现自动化调纤,又称为自动光纤配线架(Automatic Optical Distribution Frame,AODF),可以应用在任何有光纤调度需求的场景中,其应用场景除了图1和图2A所示的光网络系统,还可以为其它场景下的数据中心(data center)、街边柜、以及其它泛固定网络应用场景,例如:接入网、传输网、无线前传或回传等网络布局都可能用到本申请提供的光纤配线设备。
其它实施方式中,本申请提供的光纤配线设备还可以为光纤配线架(Optical Distribution Frame,ODF)或其它光纤管理设备。参阅图3,本申请提供的光纤配线设备包括配线区、插拔装置、存储区和/或回收区。本申请提供的光纤配线设备包括三种架构,第一种为:光纤配线设备包括配线区、插拔装置、存储区和回收区;第二种为:光纤配线设备包括配线区、插拔装置和存储区,不包括回收区;第三种为:光纤配线设备包括配线区、插拔装置和回收区,不包括存储区。
配线区包括第一端口和第二端口,通过连接跳线的两端的连接器分别插入所述第一端口和所述第二端口内实现光通路。第一端口和第二端口均为适配器端口用于供跳线的连接器插入其中。具体而言,第一端口和第二端口的数量均为多个,多个第一端口分别可以连接不同的设备或不同的网络,同样多个第二端口也可以连接不同的设备或不同的网络。例如:其中一个第一端口用于连接设备一,其中一个第二端口用于连接设备二,本申请通过连接跳线连接在第一端口和第二端口之间,以实现设备一和设备二之间的光通路。
一种实施方式中,参阅图4,配线区内设第一配线面板101和第二配线面板102,图4显示了第一配线面板101和第二配线面板102的截面图,其中第一配线面板101和第二配线面板102上未打剖面线部分视为第一端口11和第二端口12。所述第一配线面板101和所述第 二配线面板102相对间隔设置,二者之间形成容线空间R1,多个所述第一端口11设置在所述第一配线面板101上,多个所述第二端口12设置在所述第二配线面板102上,所述第一端口11朝向所述第二端口12,连接跳线13的一端的连接器(也称为插头)131插入一个第一端口11内,另一端的连接器(也称为插头)132插入一个第二端口12内。连接跳线13的线缆133位于容线空间内。
具体而言,连接跳线13包括两个连接器131和连接在这两个连接器之间的线缆133。一种实施方式中,连接跳线13即有光传输的功能还有电流传输的功能。一种实施方式中,连接器131可以为光纤连接器,其它实施方式中,连接器131也可能是光电连接器,相应地,线缆可以为光纤,线缆也可以同时包括光纤和电线。对于本申请提供的连接跳线中的连接器133而言,以光纤连接器为例,按传输媒介的不同进行分类,连接器可分为常见的硅基光纤的单模和多模连接器,还有其它如以塑胶等为传输媒介的光纤连接器,按连接头结构形式分类,连接器可分为:FC、SC、ST、LC、D4、DIN、MU、MT等等各种形式。本申请提供的连接跳线和备用跳线的连接器除上述各种形式的插头结构之外,还可以为具有小型化的定制子弹头类型的连接器。
一种实施方式中,本申请提供的连接跳线为连接光跳线,也称为光纤跳线,光纤跳线产品广泛运用到:通信机房、光纤到户、局域网络、光纤传感器、光纤通信系统、光纤连接传输设备、国防战备等领域,光纤跳线亦适用于有线电视网、电信网、计算机光纤网络及光测试设备。
另一种实施方式中,参阅图5,配线区内设置一个集成配线面板103(图5中实线矩形框代表集成配线面板),第一端口11和第二端口12分布在此集成配线面板103上,可以理解为:所述集成配线面板上设多个端口,部分所述端口为所述第一端口,部分所述端口为所述第二端口。其它实施方式中,配线区可以设置两个朝向相同的配线面板P1,P2(图5中两个虚线表示的矩形框代表这两个配线面板P1,P2),其中一个配线面板P1上设第一端口11,另一个配线面板P2上设第二端口12。
所述存储区用于设置跳线存储装置,所述跳线存储装置用于存放多根备用跳线,备用跳线包括一根线缆和两个连接器(为与适配器端口相配合的插头),这两个连接器分别连接在线缆两端。备用跳线与连接跳线为同样的结构,当备用跳线连接在配线面板上的时候,就变成了连接跳线。一种实施方式中,备用跳线可以为光跳线,其连接器为光纤连接器。跳线存储装置的数量可以为一个或多个,跳线存储装置内的备用跳线的数量可以为多根,备用跳线的数量可以根据光纤配线设备具体的应用场景的需求而定,业务更新或调换需求较频繁的情况下,可以配置较多数量的备用跳线,或者增加跳线存储装置的数量,当业务更新或调换需求较少的情况下,跳线存储装置内的备用跳线的数量可以为较少量,甚至跳线存储装置内只存放一根备用跳线。具体而言,一种实施方式中,所有的备用跳线均为同样的型号、同样的尺寸,所有的备用跳线为等长设置。其它实施方式中,不同的备用跳线的长度差可以在一定的预设范围内,即备用跳线“等长”的概念可以理解为所有的备用跳线的尺寸均在预设范围内。
所述回收区用于设置跳线回收装置,所述跳线回收装置用于回收弃用跳线,“弃用”的具体含义指在某项业务光通路中被替换掉的跳线。一种实施方式中,弃用跳线被运送至回收盒后,可以只包括连接在线缆一端的一个连接器,另一个连接器在回收跳线的过程中被剪掉, 以利于弃用跳线线缆的回收,例如当连接跳线的连接器为普通的SC插头结构时,连接跳线从配线面板上被取下后,成为弃用跳线,为了保证回收跳线过程的顺畅性,防止回收跳线过程中,弃用跳线的线缆末端的连接器与其它的连接跳线缠绕干涉,影响回收跳线,需要将弃用跳线的一个连接器剪掉。另一种实施方式中,弃用跳线可以包括线缆和分别连接在线缆的两端的两个连接器,这两个连接器为尺寸较小的型号,例如定制子弹头式连接器,尺寸较小的连接器,连接器的外壳为圆滑或尖头的设计,回收跳线的过程中,连接器的外壳与连接跳线之间不会缠绕干涉。这种未被剪掉任何一个连接器的弃用跳线可以被回收再利用。后续用弃用跳线代表被拔出的连接跳线。
一种可能的实现方式中,跳线存储装置直接安装在光纤配线设备内部,跳线存储装置与光纤配线设备的架体(或外壳、框架)可拆卸连接,方便替换。本实施方式中,存储区为安装跳线存储装置的区域。其它实施方式中,本申请提供的光纤配线设备中的存储区可以为光纤配线设备接收备用跳线的窗口(可接口),光纤配线设备不包括跳线存储装置,跳线存储装置为独立设置在光纤配线设备之外的装置,可以通过外界设备将跳线存储装置运送(或加载)至光纤配线设备的存储区,即可以通过外接的方式引入跳线存储装置。
一种可能的实现方式中,跳线回收装置直接安装在光纤配线设备内部,跳线回收装置与光纤配线设备的架体(或外壳、框架)固定连接。本实施方式中,回收区为安装跳线回收装置的区域。其它实施方式中,本申请提供的光纤配线设备中的存储区可以为光纤配线设备接收备用跳线的窗口(可接口),光纤配线设备不包括跳线回收装置,跳线回收装置为独立设置在光纤配线设备之外的装置,可以通过外界设备将跳线回收装置运送(或加载)至光纤配线设备的回收区,即可以通过外接的方式引入跳线回收装置。
插拔装置可以理解为设有夹爪(或机械手、或机器人)的自动化传送及执行装置。插拔装置能够在所述配线区和所述存储区之间,和/或所述配线区和所述回收区之间移动。插拔装置能够在所述配线区执行插拔动作、在所述存储区执行取纤(即从跳线存储装置中取出备用跳线)动作、及在所述回收区执行回收弃用跳线动作。插拔装置能够从所述跳线存储装置中取出所述备用跳线、将所述备用跳线的两个连接器分别插入对应的所述第一端口和所述第二端口内实现光通路;和/或将所述连接跳线的两个连接器分别从对应的所述第一端口和所述第二端口中拔出,被拔出的所述连接跳线为所述弃用跳线,所述插拔装置用于将所述弃用跳线运送至所述跳线回收装置。
传统的光纤配线设备中,包括两个配线面板(或一个面板上的两个配线区域),其中一个配线面板(或配线区域)用于设置连接器(用于插入光纤适配器的插头),各连接器均连接光纤(也称为尾纤),可以理解为这个配线面板用于连接大量的光纤,这些光纤都是复用光纤,即需要反复使用某根光纤执行不同的业务需求。当需要使用某根光纤连通某个光通路时,此根光纤需要被机器手臂从一个配线面板上拉出来,并被运送至另一个配线面板处,且被插入另一个配线面板的适配器端口上。当需要断开某个光通路时,相应的光纤要被收回,即其连接器插头要从适配器端口上拔出并回到初始的位置。此种架构下,光纤配线设备需要较大的空间存放这部分光纤,不但成本高,体积也很庞大。而且,每根光纤需要有序管理,在存放空间内处于拉直状态,光纤长期处于受拉伸状态,插线收线过程中,来回拉扯光纤会导致光纤寿命下降,对光通讯业务形成例如信号中断或不良的风险。
本申请提供的光纤配线设备为耗材式配线设备,通过插拔模组从跳线存储装置中取出备用跳线,此备用跳线作为一次性耗材物料使用,插拔模组将备用跳线连接在第一端口和第二端口之间以实现对应的业务端口的光通路。由于备用跳线为一次性耗材物料,备用跳线在连接至第一端口和第二端口之前,被存储在跳线存储装置内,处于自然放置的收藏状态,将备用跳线连接在第一端口和第二端口后,变为连接跳线,连接跳线处于非拉紧的状态,即连接跳线的线缆不受任何拉力,例如,没有卷簧等结构长期拉扯连接跳线。这样的设计能够保证连接跳线的机械和光学性能,有利于保证各光通路的品质(具体为:保证信号传输性能,降低插入损耗),由于备用跳线的机械和光学性能得到的保证,通讯业务也就不容易因光纤质量问题形成的信号中断或信号不好的风险,因此,本申请有利于降低光通讯业务风险。由于跳线存储装置为独立的模组,可以通过可拆卸的组装方式将其安装在光纤配线设备中,使用者可以按需配置(按备用跳线的需求量)跳线存储装置,当需求量较少的情况下,备用跳线的数量可以为较少量,跳线存储装置中的备用跳线用完后,可补充备用跳线或更换跳线存储装置,不需要在跳线存储装置中存放大最的备用跳线,跳线存储装置的体积可以设计为小型化,不但能够实现光纤配线设备的小型化,也能够降低光纤配线设备的成本。
如图3所示,光纤配线设备还包括外接面板,此外接面板用于提供外接端口,可以理解为,外接面板上设置若干外接端口,外接端口可以包括输入端口和输出端口,外接端口用于连接终端设备和外部网络,具体而言,通过线缆连接在终端设备和外接端口之间,以及外部网络和外接端口之间,藉此,通过光纤配线设备能够实现不同的终端设备或站点之间的光通信,或者实现终端设备和外部网络之间的光通信。具体而言,外接面板可以设置在配线区,外接面板上的外接端口和配线区中的第一端口(或第二端口)可以集成在一个面板上。外接面板也可以在配线区的外部,可以将第一端口或第二端口处的信号通过线缆导引至外接面板上的外接端口处。

本申请通过插拔装置200从跳线存储装置300中取出连接器60。一种实施方式提供的插拔装置200,参阅图17和图18,插拔装置200包括升降轨道27、摆臂28和连接头29,摆臂28滑动连接至升降轨道27,连接头29固定连接在摆臂28的末端。通过摆臂28相对升降轨道27的移动,可以实现连接头29的Z轴方向移动,通过摆壁28的各枝节之间的转动连接结构,能够实现摆臂28带动连接头29在X轴和Y轴所在的平面内任意移动。如图18所示,插拔装置200的连接头29包括插拔主体291和配合部292,一种实施方式中,配合部292通过旋转的方式固定连接在连接器60的壳体61的收容空间中,具体而言,配合部292为设有外螺纹的螺杆,收容空间为螺纹孔。配合部292的一端连接至插拔主体291的端面,具体而言,配合部292位于主体端面291的中心位置,插拔主体291可以呈圆柱状。连接头29连接一转动副(未图示),可以通过电机带动连接头29旋转,藉此,本申请通过旋转方式的螺纹配合实现连接头29伸入连接器60的收容空间,且固定连接至连接器60的壳体61。
插拔装置200从跳线存储装置300中取出连接器的过程描述如下。
通过调节插拔装置200的摆臂28,将插拔装置200的连接头29的螺杆的端部对准连接器60的后端面612上的第三开口6122,通过驱动连接头29沿着升降轨道27移动,使得配合部292朝向第三开口6122移动,且移动至配合部292与第三开口6122的内壁接触,启动电机带动转动副旋转,使得配合部292转动,通过配合部292与连接器60壳体61的收容空间615中的内螺纹的配合实现配合部292移动至收容空间615内,并固定连接壳体61,此时,连接头29的插拔主体291完遮挡后端面612,插拔主体291亦遮挡压持面6172。然后,通过连接头29沿着升降轨道27的移动,使得连接头29带动连接器60移出跳线存储装置300。
图19至图25表达了插拔装置200将一个连接器60插入配线面板103上的适配器端口中的过程。
如图19所示,通过调节插拔装置200的摆臂28,将连接器60从配线面板103的上方正对其中一个适配器端口。此适配器端口的底部已经连接了对端连接器,此状态下,连接器60的壳体61的第二开口6132朝向配线面板103的中心,即连接器60的线缆63从壳体61内的光通道中伸出的出线方向朝向配线面板103的中心(图19未绘出线缆63),壳体61外表面 的压持面6172位于壳体61邻近弹性压持件35的一侧。
如图20所示,通过插拔装置200的连接头29沿着升降轨道27移动,使得连接头29携带连接器60向下移动(即朝向配线面板103移动),使得连接器60外露在壳体61前端面611外部的部分插芯62移动至适配器端口内。此时,壳体61的前端面611移动至适配器端口的开口位置处。
如图21所示,连接头29携带连接器60继续向下移动,连接器60的壳体61部分进入适配器端口,此时壳体61接触弹性压持件35,具体而言,此状态下,连接器60的壳体61的第二段617的第三面6175的远离后端面612的边缘(即第三面6175和斜面618的交界边缘)接触弹性压持件35的弹片353的抵持部3533的中间位置。
如图22所示,连接头29携带连接器60继续向下移动,使得连接器60的壳体61沿着弹性压持件35的弹片353的抵持部3533移动,此状态下,连接器60的壳体61接触弹片353的抵持部3533的末端位置。从图21所示的状态至图22所示的状态的过程中,所述弹性压持件35受所述壳体61的挤压产生弹性形变,也可以理解为,弹片353的抵持部3533受壳体61的推力向固定环36的内侧面363靠拢,弹片353的抵持部3533和固定环36的内侧面363之间的间隙减少。
如图23所示,连接头29携带连接器60继续向下移动,使得连接器60完全插入适配器端口,此时连接器60的插芯62的前端面与对端连接器的插芯接触。此状态下,弹性压持件35的弹片353的抵持部3533的末端和连接器60的壳体61之间分离(即不接触),弹性压持件35的弹片353的抵持部3533的末端接触插拔装置200的连接头29。
如图24所示,旋转连接头29,使得连接头29向上移动(此过程需要控制移动的速度,使连接器60保持在适配器端口内为压紧状态,即与对端连接器60之间的插芯紧密对接),连接头29的部分配合部292移出连接器60的收容空间615,连接头29的插拔主体291和连接器60的壳体61的后端面612之间形成间隙,此状态下,由于间隙的存在,弹性压持件35的弹片353的抵持部3533的末端在自身的弹力作用下移动至间隙中。
如图25所示,连接头29向上移动的过程中,连接头29的插拔主体291和连接器60的壳体61的后端面612之间的间隙逐渐增大,当连接头29离开连接器60,弹性压持件35的弹片353抵持在压持面6172上,将连接器60锁定至适配器端口。
插拔装置将适配器端口内的连接器取出的过程,按倒序的方式参见图25至图19。具体描述如下:如图25和图24所示,当需要将适配器端口内的连接器60取出时,插拔装置200的连接头29移动至配线面板103的上方,使得连接头29的配合部292的末端对准连接器60的壳体61的后端面612的第三开口6122。向下移动连接头29,当连接头29的配合部292在第三开口6122位置处与壳体61接触时,启动插拔装置200的旋转电机,使得连接头29转动。连接头29转动的过程,通过配合部292和收容空间615内的螺纹配合,使得连接头29边旋转边下移,而且移动的过程中,连接头29的插拔主体291接触弹性压持件35的弹片353的抵持部3533并施加推力至弹片353的抵持部3533,使得弹片353向固定环36的内侧面363靠拢。这个过程中,弹片353的抵持部3533末端在压持面6172上向压持面6172的边缘移动。
如图23所示,当配合部292完成进入收容空间615内时,连接头29的插拔主体291的端面与连接器60的壳体61的后端面612接触,此时,插拔主体291完全遮挡压持面6172, 弹片353的抵持部3533的末端位于压持面6172之外,弹片353的抵持部3833的末端接触插拔主体291的外边缘。依次参阅图22、图21、图20和图19,操控插拔装置200,使得连接头29携带连接器60向上移动,使得连接器60逐渐移出适配器端口,弹片353的抵持部3533自动回位。
本申请通过弹性压持件在连接器插入适配器端口的过程中的弹性形变完成插入过程的避位及完成插入状态的自动回位,实现锁定,不需要额外操作其它的锁持或解锁的功能结构,只需要在插拔连接器的过程中,通过连接器及插拔装置与弹性压持件的推抵,实现插拔过程的同步锁持及同步解锁。本申请具有易于操作,成本低的优势。
图6所示的实施方式中,配线面板上还包括绕纤结构17和压线盘38。参阅图6、图7和图10,所述绕纤结构17突出设置在所述配线表面33上,所述绕纤结构17用于绕线,所述连接跳线绕过所述绕纤结构17。一种实施方式中,绕纤结构17位于配线面板33的中心位置,绕纤结构17的一端连接至配线表面33,另一端远离配线表面33,且朝向垂直于配线表面的方向延伸。
参阅图10,所述压线盘38连接至所述绕纤结构17,且所述压线盘38和所述配线表面33之间形成环绕所述绕纤结构17的容纳空间,所述容纳空间用于收容部分所述连接跳线。具体而言,压线盘38呈圆盘状,压线盘38包括平板状的压线主体381、位于压线主体381外围的边缘部382及位于压线主体381中心位置的固定部383。压线盘38的固定部383用于压住连接跳线,使得配线面板上插接的连接跳线收容在压线盘和配线表面之间的容纳空间中,配线面板的一侧不需要堆积大量的光纤线缆,有利于节约光纤配线设备的内部空间。
一种实施方式中,压线主体381的外边缘呈圆形,压线主体381可以平行于配线表面33。边缘部382和压线主体381为一体式结构,边缘部382从压线主体381的外边缘向远离配线表面33的方向翘起。所述备用跳线进入所述容纳空间后再绕过所述绕纤结构,在配线的过程中,压线盘的边缘具有导向的作用,压线盘的设置,使得配线过程更顺畅,使得本申请提供的光纤配线设备具有良好的操作性。固定部383用于和绕纤结构17固定连接,一种实施方式中,固定部383设有通孔,绕纤结构17呈柱状,绕纤结构17穿过固定部383的通孔,或者绕纤结构17的一端伸入通孔内。可以通过螺栓或卡扣将固定部383和绕纤结构17固定连接。
所述插拔装置200将所述备用跳线插入所述适配器端口的过程中,所述备用跳线进入所述容纳空间后再绕过所述绕纤结构17。
一根备用跳线具有两个连接器,按图19至图25的顺序完成了将其中一个连接器插入第一端口11,接下来,需要继续将另一个连接器插入至第二端口12,这样才完成一次配线过程。已经插入适配器端口的备用跳线为连接跳线。插拔装置200对另一个连接器的取纤及插入的过程具体如下。
插拔装置200从跳线存储装置300的取线窗口W处取出另一个连接器60后,拉出整个备用跳线,即将备用跳线的线缆亦拉出跳线存储装置300,插拔装置200在将这个连接器60插入对应的第二端口12的过程中,保持线缆中间部分尽可能被拉直。如图26所示,插拔装置200将连接器60插入端口A的过程中,连接头29直接从跳线存储装置300移动至A位置(沿第一轨迹T1)。当需要把另一个连接器插入B端口时,首先将此连接器从跳线存储装置300中取出,连接头29带动连接器沿第二轨迹T2移动至C点,再移动到D点,当到达D点时, AD之间的距离与备用跳线的长度接近相同。此时以A点为圆心,连接头29运动至E点,在此期间,由于备用跳线的线缆接近拉直,并且连接头29控制与压线盘38的间距,所以线缆会在压线盘38的边缘部382(即其边缘翘起结构)的导向作用下,约束进压线盘38与配线表面33中间的区域。当连接头29到达E点后,以O为圆心运动,直至目标点B点,然后将连接器插入适配器端口,从而,完成一次配线。

通过连接跳线的两个连接器分别插入对应的所述第一端口11和所述第二端口12内实现光通路,各所述连接跳线均绕过所述中心轴1082,可以理解为:所述第一端口11、所述中心轴1082和所述第二端口12共同确定所述连接跳线的延伸路径。在配线面板108的配线表面83的上方可以设置绕纤结构。具体而言,配线过程中,先完成第一端口11的连接器的插接,在将备用跳线的另一个连接器插入第二端口12的过程中,插拔装置200携带另一个连接器移动至配线表面上绕纤结构远离第一端口11的一侧,再使得线缆绕过绕纤结构的远离第一端口11一侧的表面(此状态为线缆从绕纤结构的远离第一端口11一侧的表面,并不一定要接触 绕纤结构的表面),然后再将另一个连接器插入第二端口12中。由于本实施方式和图6所示的实施方式的端口分布方式相同,均为圆盘式的分布架构,因此,本实施方式中的绕纤结构的具体的位置和结构及绕纤结构与配线面板之间的连接关系,可以参照图6和图7所示的实施方式。
图27所示的实施方式中,配线主体81的外侧面的齿牙结构82以配线面板108的旋转中心轴1082为中心分布在同一圆周上。配线面板驱动结构109固定在基板106的顶面且位于配线面板108的外围。配线面板驱动结构109包括驱动电机1091和旋转齿轮1092,驱动电机1091的底端固定连接至基板106,驱动电机1091的顶端伸出电机轴,电机轴连接放置齿轮1092,驱动电机1091用于带动旋转齿轮1092旋转。旋转齿轮1092与配线面板108上的齿牙结构82啮合,以实现通过旋转齿轮1092的旋转带动配线面板108的转动。

需要将第一连接光跳L1线连接在第一端口A1和第二端口B1中时,插拔装置200将第一连接光跳L1的一个连接器插入至第一端口A1中后,按图32所示的箭头的方向旋转配线面板108,即逆时针旋转配线面板108,配线面板108旋转的角度大于180度,使得第二端口B1旋转至第二工位T2处,如图33所示,旋转配线面板108的过程中,第一连接光跳L1的线缆会绕过绕纤结构1087,此状态下,再将第一连接光跳L1的另一个连接器插入第二端口B1,完成第一连接跳线L1的配线,第一连接跳线L1的配线过程中,插拔装置操作第一连接跳线L1尽量保持拉直状态。在图33的基础上,需要将第二连接跳线L2连接在第一端口A2和第二端口B2中时,需要先将第一端口A2旋转至第二工位处,如图33所示,可以仍旧逆时针方向旋转配线面板,当然,这种情况,也可以顺时针旋转配线面板,只要将第一端口A2旋转至第二工位T2处即可,哪个方向旋转都可以。如图34所示,此时,第一端口A2旋转至第二工位T2处,将第二连接跳线L2的一个连接跳线插入第一端口A2后,需要沿顺时针方向(图34所示的箭头的方向)旋转配线面板,直到第二端口B2旋转至第二工位T2处(如图35所示),同样,旋转配线面板的过程中,第二连接跳线L2的线缆会绕过绕纤结构1087,此时将第二连接跳线L2的另一个连接器插入第二端口B2,完成第二连接跳线L2的配线。
