The bottom of the positioning device is fixedly connected to the top of the base through a guide rail. The positioning device includes a sliding seat, the inner side of the sliding seat is slidably connected with a magnetic suction plate, the outer side of the magnetic suction plate is fixedly connected with a connecting plate, the bottom of the connecting plate is fixedly connected with a limited block, the two sides of the top of the connecting plate are fixedly connected with compression springs, and the top of the sliding seat is slidably connected with a clamping assembly.

When the optical fiber is placed in a suitable position, the pressure plate is rotated around a rotation point by using a magnet provided on the pressure plate to cooperate with a magnet at a corresponding position on the fixed block, thereby clamping the optical fiber.

[0005] Preferably, the positioning device is located on both sides of the placing table, and the protective plate is located on the top of the positive and negative screw rods.

[0006] Preferably, the bottom of the sliding seat is fixedly connected to the top of the base through a guide rail, and the inner wall of the sliding seat is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the positive and negative screw rods. If the initial position of the limit block is protruding upward on the surface of the sliding seat, in the process of sliding the clamping assembly into the top opening of the sliding seat, a slide groove is set so that when the limit block contacts the slide groove, the fixed block can press the limit block downward to prevent it from interfering with the sliding process of the fixed block.

[0010] Preferably, the top of the sliding frame is fixedly connected with a fixed cylinder, the inner side of the fixed cylinder is fixedly connected with a tension spring, the bottom end of the tension spring is fixedly connected with the top of the fixed shell, the top of the fixed shell is rotatably connected with a rotating rod, the outer wall of the rotating rod is fixedly connected with a positioning block, the outer side of the positioning block is in contact with the inner wall of the fixed cylinder, under the elastic force of the tension spring, the fixed cylinder drives the sliding frame to slide downward, and the limit card plate inside the sliding frame moves downward accordingly and is in close contact with the outer wall of the card block, thus realizing the locking function of the positive and negative screw rods.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. The present invention sets an air spring isolator, which can effectively isolate low-frequency vibrations from the external environment by using its unique elasticity and air buffering characteristics. The placement table is located on the top of the base, which plays a key role in the fiber coupling process. First, the positioning device is used to accurately position and clamp the optical fiber to be coupled.

[0012] 2. The present invention allows the operator to manually fine-tune the fixed optical fiber appropriately to ensure that the connection between the two optical fibers falls accurately on the placement table. When the optical fiber connection is accurately placed on the placement table, a matching liquid can be dripped on the connection. The matching liquid can improve the optical performance of the optical fiber connection interface and help the optical signal to be transmitted more efficiently between the two optical fibers. Then, the pressing block is turned over so that it is pressed on the optical fiber connection. By applying a certain pressure through the pressing block, the optical fiber connection can be fixed and the matching liquid can be evenly distributed and maintained in the appropriate position, providing a stable guarantee for the smooth progress of the entire optical fiber coupling process and ensuring that the optical signal can be effectively coupled between the two optical fibers as expected.

[0013] 3. The present invention provides a positioning device, whose main function is to realize accurate positioning and clamping of optical fibers and related optical components. When the forward and reverse screws rotate, they can drive the sliding seat to slide linearly along the guide rail on the top of the base, thereby realizing the horizontal position adjustment of the sliding seat. By reasonably controlling the rotation direction and angle of the forward and reverse screws, the sliding seat can be moved to a preset position to prepare for subsequent precise clamping. The protective plate plays a role of protection and auxiliary stability. The bottom of the protective plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the base, and a dial plate is fixedly connected to the top. The protective plate is located on the top of the forward and reverse screws, which can prevent foreign objects from falling into the forward and reverse screws and related transmission structures, and avoid interference with the normal rotation of the screw and threaded transmission.

[0014] 4. The present invention sets the initial position of the limit block to bulge upward on the surface of the sliding seat. When the clamping assembly slides into the top opening of the sliding seat, the slide groove is set so that when the limit block contacts the slide groove, the fixed block can press the limit block downward to prevent it from interfering with the sliding process of the fixed block. 5. The present invention provides a clamping assembly, and in the initial state, the pressing plate is in an open state to facilitate the insertion of optical fiber and other components. When the optical fiber is placed in a suitable position, the pressing plate is rotated around the rotation point by using the magnets provided on the pressing plate to cooperate with the magnets at the corresponding positions on the fixed block, thereby clamping the optical fiber. This further ensures the stability of the internal structure of the clamping assembly and the reliability of the optical fiber clamping, prevents the optical fiber from loosening after clamping, and realizes high optical fiber clamping positioning.

[0015] 6. The present invention sets a clamping assembly, slides the clamping assembly along the top opening of the sliding seat, and the metal plate at the bottom of the clamping assembly will produce a magnetic adsorption effect with the magnetic plate. During the adsorption process, the magnetic plate drives the connecting plate to overcome the elastic force of the compression spring and move upward, thereby causing the limit block to slide upward synchronously. When the limit block moves upward, it can accurately snap into the hole opened at the bottom of the fixed block, realizing the initial vertical limit of the magnetic plate and the clamping assembly to be installed, ensuring that they will not move up and down at will in subsequent operations, and ensuring the vertical positioning accuracy of the clamping.

[0016] 7. The present invention limits the rotation of the forward and reverse screws by setting a locking device. Under normal circumstances, when it is necessary to limit the rotation of the forward and reverse screws, after the rotating shaft has adjusted the position of the sliding seat through the forward and reverse screws, in order to prevent the forward and reverse screws from rotating due to accidental force, thereby causing the adjusted position to change, it is necessary to start the locking device to lock. At this time, the rotating rod on the top of the fixed shell is operated, and the rotating rod drives the positioning block to rotate, so that the positioning block no longer has a limiting effect on the fixed cylinder. Under the elastic force of the tension spring, the fixed cylinder drives the sliding frame to slide downward, and the limiting clamping plate on the inner side of the sliding frame moves downward accordingly and is in close contact with the outer wall of the clamping block. The locking function of the forward and reverse screws is realized, ensuring that the position of the positioning device can remain stable during the clamping and subsequent operations of the clamping device, thereby improving the overall accuracy and stability of the clamping.

[0023] Working principle: When in use, the base plate 1 is placed on a working plane as the bottom support base of the entire device. Air spring isolators 2 are fixedly connected at the four corners on the top of the base plate 1. The air spring isolators 2 can effectively isolate low-frequency vibrations from the external environment by utilizing their own unique elasticity and air buffering characteristics. The placement table 4 is located on the top of the base 3, which plays a key role in the fiber coupling process. First, the positioning device 6 is used to accurately position and clamp the optical fiber to be coupled. After the two optical fibers are fixed respectively, the operator can manually make appropriate fine adjustments to the fixed optical fibers to ensure that the connection between the two optical fibers falls accurately on the placement table 4. When the optical fiber connection is accurately placed on the placement table 4, a matching liquid can be dripped on the connection.

[0024] The positioning device 6 is located on both sides of the placement table 4. Its main function is to realize accurate positioning and clamping of the optical fiber and related optical components. When the positive and negative screw rods 7 rotate, they can drive the sliding seat 61 to slide linearly along the guide rail on the top of the base 3, thereby realizing the horizontal position adjustment of the sliding seat 61.

[0026] When the limit block 65 moves upward, the limit block 65 pushes the top block 665 upward. When the clamping assembly 66 needs to be disassembled, the top block 665 can be pressed downward to disengage the limit block 65 from the bottom of the fixed block 661. If the initial position of the limit block 65 is protruding upward on the surface of the sliding seat 61, when the clamping assembly 66 is slid into the top opening of the sliding seat 61, the sliding groove 663 is set so that when the limit block 65 contacts the sliding groove 663, the fixed block 661 can press the limit block 65 downward to prevent it from interfering with the sliding process of the fixed block 661.

[0027] When the clamping assembly 66 is in use, in the initial state, the pressing plate 662 is in an open state to facilitate the insertion of optical fibers and other components. When the optical fiber is placed in a suitable position, the pressing plate 662 is rotated around the rotation point by using the magnets provided on the pressing plate 662 to cooperate with the magnets at the corresponding positions on the fixing block 661, thereby clamping the optical fiber.

[0028] When the clamping assembly 66 needs to be installed, the clamping assembly 66 is slid into the top opening of the sliding seat 61, and the metal plate 664 at the bottom of the clamping assembly 66 will produce a magnetic adsorption effect with the magnetic plate 62. During the adsorption process, the magnetic plate 62 drives the connecting plate 63 to overcome the elastic force of the compression spring 64 and move upward, thereby causing the limit block 65 to slide upward synchronously. When the limit block 65 moves upward, it can accurately snap into the hole opened at the bottom of the fixed block 661, realizing the initial vertical limit of the magnetic plate 62 and the clamping assembly 66 to be installed, ensuring that they will not move up and down at will in subsequent operations, and ensuring the vertical positioning accuracy of the clamping.

Under normal circumstances, when it is necessary to limit the rotation of the forward and reverse screw rods 7, after the rotating shaft 87 adjusts the position of the sliding seat 61 through the forward and reverse screw rods 7, in order to prevent the forward and reverse screw rods 7 from rotating due to accidental force, thereby causing the adjusted position to change, it is necessary to start the locking device 8 to lock. At this time, the rotating rod 84 on the top of the fixed shell 81 is operated, and the rotating rod 84 drives the positioning block 85 to rotate, so that the positioning block 85 no longer has a limiting effect on the fixed cylinder 83. Under the elastic force of the tension spring 86, the fixed cylinder 83 drives the sliding frame 82 to slide downward, and the limiting clamping plate 89 on the inner side of the sliding frame 82 moves downward and is in close contact with the outer wall of the clamping block 88. The locking function of the forward and reverse screw rods 7 is realized, ensuring that the position of the positioning device 6 can remain stable during the clamping and subsequent operations of the clamping device, thereby improving the overall accuracy and stability of the clamping.
