Intelligent gel coating device for optical fiber cables

Abstract

The invention discloses an intelligent gel coating device for optical fiber cables. The intelligent gel coating device comprises a longitudinal covering rack, a support frame, a gel storage tank, a spraying head mechanism, a microcontroller, an electronic scale and a support mechanism, two X-direction linear rails are fixed on the surface of a base station of the support frame, the spraying head mechanism is mounted on a carrying plate and comprises a gel storage cavity, one end of the gel storage cavity is connected with a first port of a tee joint, a second port and a third port of the tee joint are connected with a gel inlet pipe and a pressure gauge respectively, the other end of the gel storage cavity is connected with a gel spraying nozzle, one support rod and the support mechanism are disposed on two sides of the gel spraying nozzle respectively and below the same, passages for conveying a metal strip are formed between the gel spraying nozzle and the support rod as well as between the spraying nozzle and the support mechanism, a gel supplying pipe is connected to the upper portion of the gel storage tank, an electric valve is mounted on the gel supplying pipe, the microcontroller is connected to a servo motor, the electronic scale and the electric valve, and the servo motor is mounted on a gel delivering pipe. The intelligent gel coating device for the optical fiber cables has the advantages that positions of the gel spraying head and the metal strip can be adjusted conveniently, position accuracy in gel spraying is guaranteed, quantity of gel stored in the gel storage tank can be judged automatically, and gel storage and full automation in gel supply are achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of ointment spraying during the manufacture of optical fiber cables, in particular to an intelligent ointment coating device for optical fiber cables. Background technique [0002] Optical cables are manufactured to meet optical, mechanical or environmental performance specifications, using one or more optical fibers placed in a sheath as a transmission medium, and used individually or in groups. Communication cable assemblies. The optical cable is generally composed of several parts such as a cable core, a reinforced steel wire, a filler, and a sheath. In addition, there are components such as a waterproof layer, a buffer layer, and an insulated metal wire as required. [0003] During the long-term use of the optical cable, due to the infiltration of moisture and moisture, the transmission performance of the optical cable will be deteriorated, and it may even be unusable. In the preparation process of communication ...
