Optical fiber distribution device, and optical fiber scheduling method and system

An optical fiber scheduling method, implemented by an optical fiber distribution device, the optical fiber scheduling method comprising:

• controlling a robot system to remove a target optical fiber connector from an initial optical fiber adapter;
• retracting the target optical fiber connector and an optical fiber connected to the target optical fiber connector to a connector retracting portion;
• removing the target optical fiber connector from the connector retracting portion;
• inserting the target optical fiber connector into a target optical fiber adapter;
• controlling an insertion and removal robot of the robot system to remove the target optical fiber connector from the initial optical fiber adapter and release the target optical fiber connector;
• controlling a first fiber accommodating mechanism of the robot system to retract the target optical fiber connector and the optical fiber to the connector retracting portion;
• controlling a clamp jaw robot of the robot system to remove the target optical fiber connector from the connector retracting portion and transfer the target optical fiber connector to the insertion and removal robot;
• and
• controlling the insertion and removal robot to receive the target optical fiber connector and insert the target optical fiber connector into the target optical fiber adapter.

An optical fiber distribution device comprising:

• a distribution portion comprising an optical fiber adapter, wherein the optical fiber adapter is configured to connect to a first optical fiber connector connected to a first optical fiber;
• a connector retracting portion configured to accommodate the first optical fiber connector and the first optical fiber;
• and
• a robot system comprising:
• a distribution robot located between the distribution portion and the connector retracting portion, wherein the distribution robot is configured to insert and remove the first optical fiber connector into and from the optical fiber adapter, and remove the first optical fiber connector from the connector retracting portion;
• and
• a second fiber accommodating mechanism located on the connector retracting portion, wherein the second fiber accommodating mechanism is configured to retract the first optical fiber connector and the first optical fiber to the connector retracting portion;
• and
• wherein the robot system is configured to:
• remove a target optical fiber connector from an initial optical fiber adapter,
• retract the target optical fiber connector and a second optical fiber connected to the target optical fiber connector to the connector retracting portion,
• remove the target optical fiber connector from the connector retracting portion, and
• insert the target optical fiber connector into a target optical fiber adapter.
