Windshield cover assembly for fiber optic fusion splicer

Abstract

A windproof cover unit for optical fiber fusion splicer comprising a windproof cover 1, a mounting base unit, a FPC unit and a rotational axle 18 of the windproof cover, wherein the windproof cover 1 comprises a cover surface and an internal sunken space where the mounting base unit of the red- and white-light lamps is configured in the internal sunk space of the windproof cover 1, thus the white-light lamps can be configured in the windproof cover; besides, the FPC unit and the rotational axle 18 of the windproof cover can match and connect with the guide hole and the threaded hole in the windproof cover. With reference to the windproof cover unit for optical fiber fusion splicer, the white-light lamps can be configured properly, the movement of the windproof cover can be prevented by the rotational axle and the FPC cable can be configured properly to prevent damage and maintain the overall appearance.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an optical fiber fusion splicer and parts thereof, in particular to the design of a windproof cover assembly of the optical fiber fusion splicer. Background technique [0002] In the optical fiber fusion splicer, the white light lamp is mainly used for the lighting of the optical fiber fusion splicing work. In the existing optical fiber fusion splicer, the white light lamp is generally designed on the front or rear side of the optical fiber fusion splicer. Because the light irradiation of the white light lamp must be ensured To the ceramic V-groove, so the position of placing the white light lamp is higher, which limits the overall size of the fiber optic fusion splicer to a certain extent, especially for the design of the windproof cover. [0003] In addition, existing optical fiber fusion splicers generally adopt the method of connecting the shaft and the shaft sleeve to connect the windshield. This method lacks the limit in ...

Problems solved by technology

[0002] In the optical fiber fusion splicer, the white light lamp is mainly used for the lighting of the optical fiber fusion splicing work. In the existing optical fiber fusion splicer, the white light lamp is generally designed on the front or rear side of the optical fiber fusion splicer. Because the light irradiation of the white light lamp must be ensured To the ceramic V-groove, so the position of placing the white light lamp is higher, which limits the overall size of the fiber optic fusion splicer to a certain extent, especially for the design of the windproof cover

[0003] In addition, existing optical fiber fusion splicers generally adopt the method of connecting the shaft and the shaft sleeve to connect the windshield. This method lacks the limit in the axial direction, which will cause the windshield to move or shake in the axial direction and damage the This ensures the firmness and stability of the combination of the windproof cover and the optical fiber fusion splicer

[0004] In addition, in the optical fiber fusion splicer, the red light on the upper cover of the optical fiber fusion splicer needs to be connected to the main body of the optical fiber fusion splicer by an FPC (flexible circuit board, or FPC for short). Among them, the FPC wire is either directly exposed outside, but such direct exposure will affect the appearance, and there is also a risk of damage to the FPC wire; in the prior art, a separate cover may be provided for the FPC wire, but this will affect the fiber fusion splicer overall appearance, which will also lead to an increase in cost
