Optical fiber automatic tube penetrating machine

Abstract

The invention discloses an optical fiber automatic tube penetrating machine which comprises a workbench, a fiber arranging plate and a mechanical arm. The fiber arranging plate is provided with a plurality of fixing grooves used for containing optical fibers, and the fiber arranging plate is arranged on the workbench and can reciprocate in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction; the mechanical arm is arranged above the workbench; the mechanical arm is provided with a glue dripping device and a rotatable tube clamp, after the tube clamp rotates, the hole of the glass pipe can receive glue of the glue dripping device, the mechanical arm drives the tube clamp to move along the Z axis to align the hole of the glass tube with the optical fiber, and the fiber arranging plate moves forwards in the Y-axis direction to enable a fiber core of the optical fiber to penetrate into the hole of the glass pipe. Automatic glue dripping of the glass tube is achieved, automatic tube penetrating ofthe fiber core of the optical fiber is also achieved, the tube penetrating efficiency of the optical fiber is improved, and the labor intensity of operators is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device in the field of manufacturing research of optical fiber passive components, in particular to an automatic optical fiber tube threading machine. Background technique [0002] Optical fiber is an abbreviation for fiber waveguide or optical fiber that transmits light. Its typical structure is a multi-layer coaxial cylinder with core, cladding and coating from the inside to the outside. The core part is the core and the cladding, in which the core is made of highly transparent material and is the main transmission channel of light waves; the refractive index of the cladding is slightly smaller than that of the core, making the light transmission performance relatively stable. The thickness of the core, the refractive index of the core material and the cladding material have a decisive influence on the characteristics of the fiber. The coating layer includes primary coating, buffer layer and secondary coating, which prote...
