A metal fitting jig and method for bending optical fiber array

Abstract

The invention relates to a metal assembly fixture for bending optical fiber arrays, comprising a base and a bending assembly, the bending assembly is arranged on the base, and the output end of the bending assembly is provided with a For the matching tongue, the base is provided with a slot matching the metal piece at the position facing the tongue. The assembly method is to place the metal parts together with the optical fiber array assembled with the glass positioning component in the card slot; drive the pressing tongue to move through the bending component, so that the curved section of the metal part can be bent to a certain extent under the action of the pressing tongue. Thus, the assembly of the metal part and the optical fiber array is completed. The beneficial effects of the invention are: the whole process is simple and easy to control, and the effect is good. At the same time, the use of fixture assembly can overcome the defects that the manual operation is easy to damage the optical fiber, the efficiency is low, and the operator is prone to pain and other discomfort during manual assembly.

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
