Description

Technical Field

[0002] At present, there are two main types of grinders used for processing the spherical end faces of fiber optic connector plugs in my country. One is the solution of using Japan Seiko grinders. The worktable is a planetary rotary motion mode and uses a single-disc fixture. The grinder has a simple structure and is easy to use, occupying the vast majority of the market. However, in order to ensure that the grinding speed of the workpieces on the grinder fixture is the same, the workpieces are distributed in a circle. The number of optical fibers that can be processed at one time is limited, usually 12 or 24. The ordinary center machine grinding fixture is mostly equipped with 12 heads. From degumming, rough grinding, fine grinding, to polishing, it is all completed by the plate loading personnel, and the offline time is much longer than the online time. Generally speaking, when grinding 2.5 ferrule products, the manual time for loading a plate is about 90 seconds, and when grinding 1.25 ferrule products, the manual time is about 70 seconds, which restricts the production efficiency of fiber optic connector plug end face processing. In addition, because the processing trajectory is a circular spiral line, a large area of ​​the grinding disc cannot be effectively used, and the tool utilization rate is limited.

The pulley transmission mechanism includes a driving pulley 26 driven by a motor, which drives the passive pulley 21 fixedly installed on the tray shaft for transmission through the driving pulley and the transmission belts 27 on both sides. The worm gear 22 is arranged on the tray shaft, and the worm wheel synchronously drives the winding shaft gear 24 of the winding mechanism and the supporting belt gear 15 of the supporting belt mechanism through the intermediate gear set 23. The driving motor drives the winding mechanism and the supporting belt mechanism to operate.

[0029] A lower pressing roller 11 and an upper pressing roller 10 are arranged between the unwinding mechanism and the supporting belt mechanism to tension the polishing sheet.

[0030] The upper part of the tray shaft is fixed with an optical fiber bracket 2, which includes symmetrical vertical poles and horizontal poles, and a number of spaced optical fiber hangers 4 are fixedly installed on the horizontal poles.
