Usage methods include: Installing the first positioning block: pressing down the adjustment pin (510) and lifting the pressing pin (530), placing one side of the first positioning block (200) against the side wall of the stop platform (120), placing the first positioning block (200) on the mounting seat (100), sliding the ejector pin (130) until it abuts against the first positioning block (200), and installing the first optical fiber array (800) in the mounting groove (210); Installing the second positioning block: opening the clamping claw cylinder (410), with the buckle groove (310) opening downward, placing the second positioning block (300) above the first positioning block (200), installing the second optical fiber array (900) in the buckle groove (310), converging the clamping claw cylinder (410) so that the two clamping blocks (411) clamp the second positioning block (300), and connecting the two clamping blocks (411) with a rubber ring; Adjusting the coplanarity: the front end surfaces of the first positioning block (200), the second positioning block (300), the first optical fiber array (800) and the second optical fiber array (900) are all arranged in the same plane; The pressing needle is fixed, and the adjusting pin (510) is loosened, so that the pressing needle (530) presses the first positioning block (200) and the second positioning block (300) downwards under the action of the tension spring (540); Fine adjustment: adjusting the visual detection device (700) to the same height as the first positioning block (200), turning on the visual detection device (700), observing the visual signal transmitted by the visual detection device (700), and adjusting the micrometer knob assembly (620) to move the first optical fiber array (800) and the second optical fiber array (900) to a predetermined position.
