Spring feeding device, spring loading equipment and method thereof used for optical fiber connector assembling

Abstract

The invention discloses a spring feeding device used for optical fiber connector assembling. The spring feeding device used for optical fiber connector assembling comprises a first conveying manipulator, a spring feeding pipe, a spring displacement mechanism and a material distributing mechanism which is arranged at the output end of the spring feeding pipe, wherein the first conveying manipulatoris arranged on one side of the spring feeding pipe, the material distributing mechanism comprises a material distributing cylinder, an upper material distributing needle and a lower material distributing needle, the upper material distributing needle and the lower material distributing needle are transversely arranged, a material distributing through hole is formed to penetrate through the top surface and the bottom surface of the material distributing barrel, the upper material distributing needle and the lower material distributing needle correspond to the material distributing through holes and are inserted into the material distributing barrel in a penetrating mode, a material distributing needle driving mechanism used for driving the upper material distributing needle and the lower material distributing needle to transversely move is arranged on one side of the material distributing barrel, and the spring displacement mechanism is arranged to correspond to the output end of the first conveying manipulator and the output end of the material distributing cylinder. The invention further discloses spring loading equipment and a method thereof used for optical fiber connector assembling. The spring feeding device, the spring loading equipment and the method thereof used for optical fiber connector assembling are reasonable and ingenious in structural design; the spring feedingdevice and a spring detection device are sequentially arranged and used for installing springs and detecting the installation condition of the springs; and when the springs are automatically installed, the installation quality of the springs is also ensured.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the assembly of optical fiber connectors, in particular to a spring feeding device, spring loading equipment and method for assembling optical fiber connectors. Background technique [0002] Usually, an LC fiber optic connector includes a front shell, an optical fiber core, a transparent tube, a spring, and a rear shell. Put a spring on the transparent tube, and finally use the back shell to squeeze the spring to buckle on the front shell. [0003] Among them, the quality and dimensional accuracy of the spring have a great influence on the performance of the optical fiber connector. In the existing automatic assembly line of the optical fiber connector, when the spring is put on the transparent tube, the spring is easy to shift; and because the transparent tube and the optical fiber core The processing accuracy is not enough, when the spring is set, the spring is easy to get stuck at the connection between the transparent tube...

[0003] Among them, the quality and dimensional accuracy of the spring have a great influence on the performance of the optical fiber connector. In the existing automatic assembly line of the optical fiber connector, when the spring is put on the transparent tube, the spring is easy to shift; and because the transparent tube and the optical fiber core The processing accuracy is not enough, when the spring is set, the spring is easy to get stuck at the connection between the transparent tube and the optical fiber core, which seriously affects the performance and service life of the optical fiber connector
