Metal part assembling fixture and method for bent optical fiber array

Abstract

The invention relates to a metal part assembling fixture for a bent optical fiber array. The metal part assembling fixture comprises a base and a bending assembly, wherein the bending assembly is arranged on the base; a press tongue matched with a section to be bent, of a metal part, is arranged at an output end of the bending assembly; and a clamping groove matched with the metal part is formed in a position facing the press tongue, on the base. The assembling method comprises the following steps: placing the metal part into the clamping groove with the optical fiber array assembled with a glass location assembly; and driving the press tongue to move through the bending assembly, and bending the bending section of the metal part to a certain extent under the action of the press tongue, thereby completing assembling for the metal part and the optical fiber array. The metal part assembling fixture and the assembling method have the following beneficial effects: the whole process is simple, easy to control, and good in effect; and meanwhile, the defects that damage to optical fibers is easily caused by manual operation, the efficiency is low, an operator easily has pain and other discomfort, during manual assembling, can further be overcome by adopting the fixture for assembling.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of optical communication, in particular to a metal piece assembling fixture and method for a bent optical fiber array. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of communication technology and the rapid growth of practical applications, the research of large-capacity optical fiber communication systems has great application value. [0003] Optical fiber arrays generally use 4-core, 8-core, and 12-core optical fiber ribbons, which are assembled into an important coupling component connecting optical devices and optical fibers with a substrate made of all-quartz material engraved with V-grooves. Optical fiber arrays used for optical splitters generally require that the optical fiber arrays be flush with the end faces and horizontally coupled with optical splitter devices, which can be achieved by ordinary grinding processes, but the optical fiber arrays used for 40G and 100G active device produc...

[0007] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: when assembly is required, the metal piece and the optical fiber array assembled with the glass positioning assembly are placed in the slot, and then the pressing tongue is driven to move by the bending assembly, so that the curved section of the metal piece is in the position of the pressing tongue. A certain degree of bending is completed under the action, so as to complete the assembly of the metal parts and the optical fiber array. The whole process is simple and easy to control, and the effect is good. The defect that the operator is prone to discomfort such as pain
