Automatic cutter for optical fibers

Abstract

The invention discloses an automatic cutter for optical fibers. The cutter comprises a base for installing the optical fibers, a small press plate, a large press plate and an optical fiber cutting device, wherein the small and large press plates are used for clamping the optical fibers, and the optical fiber cutting device is used for cutting the optical fibers automatically after the large press plate clamps the optical fibers. A button is connected with a hinge shaft of the large press plate with a spring arranged in the middle, so that when an upper rubber mat of the large press plate and a lower rubber mat of the base are closed, the pressure to the optical fibers between the rubber mats is maintained, the button touches a pressure head to drive a press shaft to move downwards and is pushed out of a fixed piece, a slide block moves under the action of a compressed spring and cuts the optical fibers. Actions of the mechanism are flexible and gaps are small due to adoption of the double-shaft slide block supported by three linear bearings, the action accuracy of the slide block is improved, a damping sleeve is disposed on a lower optical shaft, the operating speed of the slide block is reduced, impact of a blade during cutting of the optical fibers is reduced, cutting quality of the optical fibers is improved, gaps can be eliminated, and deflection of the slide block during motion is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a processing device for optical fiber communication equipment, in particular to an automatic optical fiber cutter. Background technique [0002] Optical communication is one of the most promising communication technologies in practical applications, and it has become a very important pillar of modern communication. Optical fiber communication uses light as the carrier of information. A communication method using optical fiber as a transmission channel. In the optical fiber communication system, the frequency of the light wave as the carrier is much higher than that of the electric wave, and the optical fiber as the transmission medium has much lower loss than the coaxial cable or waveguide, so the capacity of the optical fiber communication is several times larger than that of the microwave communication. Ten times, compared with cable communication or microwave communication, it has many unique advantages, so optical fiber c...

Problems solved by technology

[0006] The operation of the above optical fiber cutter is complicated: clamp the optical fiber, put down the gland and the upper cover, manually push the knife to cut the optical fiber, close the pressing wall, and press the button down to break the optical fiber

The operation of the six steps is cumbersome and error-prone during the process. The force and speed of manual knife pushing vary, and the cutting quality of optical fibers is not easy to guarantee.
