Semi-automatic device for combining bulk optical fibers at optical cable end socket into belt fiber and belt-combining method

Abstract

The invention provides a semi-automatic device for combining bulk optical fibers at optical cable end socket into belt fiber and a belt-combining method. An optical cable guiding positioning part is located below of a body fixing module; the optical fiber positioning guiding fixing module is closely located above the body fixing module; the optical fiber positioning guiding fixing module comprisesan openable clamp for which the elastic component provides clamping force; openable and closable vertical parallel optical fiber limiting holes are arranged on the clamp, and a glue storage hopper isformed at the upper end orifices of the vertical parallel optical fiber limiting holes; a UV light source is close to the locations of the lower end orifices of the parallel optical fiber limiting holes; the optical fiber positioning guiding fixing module, the UV light source and a lifting module are connected and capable of synchronously lifting. The invention further provides a method for combining bulk optical fibers at optical cable end socket. The semi-automatic device disclosed by the invention is simple in structure, for the assembling connector containing 4, 8 or 12,24 optical cablesin several meters even several hundred meters, the ultrashort dispersed optical fibers exposed from the optical cable end socket need to be combined into the belt fiber, the operation is convenient, fast and accurate.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of optical fiber communication, in particular to a semi-automatic device and method for combining scattered optical fibers at the end of an optical cable into a ribbon. Background technique [0002] In optical communication products, when optical fiber is used as the media medium, long-distance optical cables are often used. In order to facilitate the fast connection between optical cables and between optical cables and devices, it is often necessary to assemble connectors at the ends of optical cables. Because the optical fiber in the optical cable is composed of 4-24 and more loose fibers, in order to facilitate the assembly of the connector, it is necessary to combine different numbers of loose fibers into ribbon fibers according to requirements. [0003] However, some optical communication products can only combine very short loose fibers at the end of the optical cable into ribbon fibers, often only a f...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, some optical communication products can only combine very short loose fibers at the end of the optical cable into ribbon fibers, often only a few tens of millimeters or even a few millimeters shorter. At this time, it is not suitable to use large-scale automatic combining equipment , the use of jigs and equipment that combine fibers from one end to the other is not suitable
