Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of network communication equipment, in particular to a light-emitting tracking device of an optical fiber connector.

Background

In addition to being used as a connection between a personal computer and a wall socket, network cables used in a general network system are also often used in building network rooms and building network wiring. These network cables are typically routed over open wires, and typically, the number of such network information outlets is no more than six at most, so that when a network problem occurs, such as: the network information socket setting mode with small quantity can make user easily check network cable, quickly find out correct network cable and repair it.

However, when the network cable is used in a network room and a building network, the network information sockets in the network room are complex and large in number, and the building network is far away from the network, so when the network cable needs to be used for connection, the network cable is connected with a large number of network cables and the network cable is mixed and inserted, or the network cable is possibly arranged in a bundle mode, but sometimes, the two ends of the network cable still need to be identified, which causes more inconvenience.

In order to solve the problem of the line troubleshooting, it is often selected to mark plugs at two ends of the network cable with labels, but this method actually solves some problems of the line troubleshooting, and when the number of network information sockets for the wiring panel is too large, for example: the distribution panel of a typical fiber optic system can reach 196 network information jacks at most, and it is time consuming to find the corresponding labels at the two ends of the network cable.

In order to solve the above problems, in addition to the US patent No. US5,666,453 "Fiber optic cables and tracking method using same", including taiwan patent No. M413200 "signal transmission line" and chinese patent No. CN1095484 "cable port on-line identification method and port identification cable", a cable inspection system of an optical Fiber connector is proposed, in which a conducting wire capable of transmitting signals is added to an optical Fiber jumper, and is connected to a light source device disposed on an optical Fiber connector at both ends of the optical Fiber jumper, and the optical Fiber connector at both ends is also provided with two contacts, so that when a power supply is connected to the two contacts, the light source devices at both ends are caused to emit light simultaneously, and thus the positions of both ends of the optical Fiber jumper are known.

In addition, in the united states patent No. US7,221,284 "Networking cable concentrator system" and united states patent No. US9,196,975 "Networking cable concentrator system", another wire-checking system is proposed, in which a battery is placed in a plug housing, and by pressing a button provided on a surface thereof, the battery is turned on to supply power to an LED to emit an indication light. The external power supply structure of the above patent utilizes the contact points with two sides separated like a needle, because the contact points are easy to be knocked by accident to cause the deflection of the contact points, thereby causing the failure of connecting with the contact points on the plug.

In summary, although the above patents gradually solve the problem of finding a circuit, the gaps between the optical fiber connectors are more and more compact after the optical fiber connectors are installed due to the fact that the network information sockets of the optical fiber system distribution panel are arranged in high density, if the battery is arranged on the optical fiber connectors, the positions of the buttons are unlikely to cause high-density arrangement and are not easy to press, and the gaps between the plugs which are derived from the arrangement are unlikely to allow fingers to extend into the gaps to press the buttons, so that the problem of finding the circuit is still caused subsequently, and therefore improvement is needed.

In addition, as disclosed in US9,810,859 entitled "cable network cables with remote-released connectors", an extension piece is used to connect the front end of the extension piece with the elastic piece of the optical fiber connector, and two contact points are designed near the front end, and the rear end has a receiving space in which a button, an LED, and a battery are disposed, and are connected to the contact points near the front end through two wires. Two contacts are designed and connected with the contact points at the contact points on the corresponding extension sheet in the shell of the optical fiber connector, and are connected to the two contacts on the optical fiber connector at the other end of the cable through two wires; the LEDs at both ends can be lighted by pressing the button on the extension piece. However, the disadvantage of this design is that the contact point on the extension piece and the contact point of the optical fiber connector are attached and connected in a relatively sliding manner, and the extension piece is not only used for indication, but also used for linking with the spring plate on the optical fiber plug, so that after multiple uses, the contact point and the contact point can be in poor contact due to friction, and the extension piece and the button also need to be accurately aligned to conduct to generate a tracking and checking function, which is inconvenient in practical application.
