Optical fiber cutting device and cutting method

Abstract

The invention discloses an optical fiber cutting device. The device comprises a base; the base is provided with a cutter holder; the cutter holder is provided with a cutter; the base is provided with a left clamping mechanism and a right clamping mechanism which are located at two sides of the cutter holder respectively; the left clamping mechanism comprises a left clamping seat, a left clamping assembly arranged on the left clamping seat and a left driving assembly for driving the left clamping assembly to rotate; and the right clamping mechanism comprises a right clamping seat, a right clamping assembly arranged on the right clamping seat and a right driving assembly for driving the right clamping assembly to rotate. According to the optical fiber cutting device of the invention, the left clamping assembly and the right clamping assembly are adopted to firmly clamp an optical fiber; the optical fiber rotates on the cutter; the cutter is adopted to cut the outer surface of the optical fiber so as to leave scratches on the outer surface of the optical fiber, so that the optical fiber will be fractured at the scratches; the fractured surfaces of the optical fiber are flat; and cutting efficiency is high; and the optical fiber does not move during the cutting process. The invention also discloses an optical fiber cutting method. According to the method, the optical fiber is rotated; the cutter cuts the outer surface of the optical fiber so as to leave scratches on the outer surface of the optical fiber, so that the optical fiber is fractured, and the optical fiber can form a certain cutting surface angle.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of cutting tools, and in particular relates to a cutting device for cutting optical fibers, and also relates to an optical fiber cutting method for cutting optical fibers.
