[0023] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0024] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention, but the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0025] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The term "in one embodiment" that appears in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it refer to a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0026] Example 1, reference Figure 1 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention, provides a multi-fiber cutting surface processing device based on image processing, including an openable top plate and a base, a telescopic device is provided on the top plate, a large pressure block is provided on the telescopic device, a fiber optic cutting knife is provided on the base, and a micro-hole pitch camera is provided on the base. The optical fiber is placed between the large pressure block and the fiber optic cutting knife, and the large pressure block is controlled to be pressed down by the telescopic device, and the optical fiber will be cut by the fiber optic cutting knife.

[0027] In this embodiment, the micro-aperture camera can capture images with higher resolution. The main function is to identify the end faces of both ends after the optical fiber is processed to facilitate the next operation. The optical fiber cutter is used to cut the optical fiber with high precision and high quality.

[0028] Specifically, it also includes anvil blocks arranged on the large pressing block and the base, and the anvil blocks arranged on the large pressing block and the anvil blocks arranged on the base are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0029] In this embodiment, the main function of the anvil is to provide a solid and stable surface for optical fiber processing and manufacturing activities, and the upper and lower parts of the anvil are pressed against each other to fix the optical fiber.

[0030] It should be noted that the anvil block above will rise and fall along with the movement of the large pressing block, thereby clamping the optical fiber.

[0031] Furthermore, it also includes a driving member arranged on the top plate and the base, on which a conveying device is arranged, and the driving member is used to control the conveying device to convey the optical fiber.

[0032] It should be noted that the conveying device is a transmission roller, and the driving member is a motor, and the motor can control the transmission roller to rotate.

[0033] Among them, the conveying device on the top plate and the conveying device on the base are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0034] It should be noted that the conveyor device exists in both the upper and lower parts for the purpose of fixing and transporting the optical fiber. After the optical fiber is cut, if the end face of the optical fiber is uneven or the length is unequal, the conveyor device will move the optical fiber. The conveyor device is composed of multiple circular rollers, and the movement of the rollers is controlled by a stepper motor. The stepper motor has a built-in encoder that can calculate the roller distance, which is convenient for manual control of the optical fiber moving length and leaving an appropriate distance to prepare for the next cutting.

[0035] Preferably, a waste fiber box is provided on one side of the base.

[0036] In this embodiment, after the optical fiber is cut, the cut portion is called waste fiber, and the waste fiber box is used to store the waste fiber.

[0037] When in use, first open the top plate and the base, and place the optical fiber to be cut neatly on the conveying device on the base. Multiple optical fibers can be placed at one time according to the cutting requirements. Then close the top plate and the base, and the conveying device on the top plate and the conveying device on the bottom plate fit the surface of the optical fiber. The telescopic device is started to drive the large pressure block to descend, and the anvil block connected to the large pressure block and arranged above descends together. The large pressure block presses the optical fiber on the optical fiber cutting knife to cut it, and the upper anvil block is pressed down and fits onto the lower anvil block. During the process of cutting the optical fiber, the optical fiber is clamped, and the micro-hole distance camera is used to check whether the optical fiber cutting is qualified. If it is unqualified, the optical fiber will be transported by the conveying device, and the conveying device close to the waste fiber box will transport the cut waste fiber to the waste fiber box for collection for the next cutting.

[0038] In summary, the large pressure block is controlled by the telescopic device to cooperate with the optical fiber cutting knife to achieve the cutting of the optical fiber, which is convenient for automatic cutting of the optical fiber and improves the cutting efficiency. Moreover, due to the mechanical operation, the requirements for the user are reduced. The cutting end face can be viewed through the setting of the micro-hole distance camera, which is convenient for analyzing whether the cutting of the optical fiber is qualified.

[0039] Example 2, reference Figure 1 to Figure 3 , which is the second embodiment of the present invention. Different from the previous embodiment, this embodiment provides a multi-fiber section processing system based on image processing, which is applied to a multi-fiber section processing device based on image processing, including:

[0040] The MCU main control board is used to control the extension and retraction of the telescopic device to drive the large pressure block to press down to cut the optical fiber. The micro-hole camera captures the image of the cut optical fiber end face and transmits it to the MCU main control board. The MCU main control board analyzes the captured image through image recognition technology and image processing algorithm, and determines whether the optical fiber end face is qualified.

[0041] Specifically, if the MCU main control board determines that the optical fiber end face is unqualified, a command is sent to the driver, and the driver operates to control the transmission device to transport the optical fiber and prepare for the cutting operation again.

[0042] Furthermore, it also includes a switch, which is used to control the start and stop of the multi-fiber section processing equipment based on image processing, and the on / off command issued by the switch is received by the interrupt of the MCU main control board.

[0043] It also includes human-computer interaction, which is used to display the image captured by the micro-aperture camera and the judgment result of the MCU main control board on the optical fiber end face. The user can actively control the operation of the telescopic device and the driving parts through human-computer interaction.

[0044] The rest of the structure is the same as that of Example 1.

[0045] Reference Figure 3 , first manually strip the optical cable, then fix the optical fiber to be cut on the conveyor and the anvil. After fixation, control the cutting to start on the human-computer interaction page. The cutting knife will be close to the optical fiber, and the system will control the telescopic device to make the large pressure block break the optical fiber to ensure that the optical fiber end face can be kept as flat as possible. After receiving the control command, the MCU starts cutting and triggers the high-precision micro-hole distance camera to detect the cut optical fiber end face. Through a series of algorithm detection, if the optical fiber end face is uneven, multiple optical fibers are uneven. The system automatically generates a secondary processing instruction, and the motor will rotate to drive the roller to send the optical fiber back to the incision. If the camera detection is confirmed to be correct after the processing is completed, the telescopic device returns to the initial position and the system is reset. The specific implementation steps are as follows:

[0046] 1. Manually trigger the start cutting button to send a closed electrical signal to the MCU, and the MCU externally triggers the interrupt vector response to trigger the start of the cutting process.

[0047] 2. After the cutting process is started, start the high-precision micro-hole distance camera to detect the end face of the optical fiber.

[0048] 3. If there is a problem with the end face, the system controls the motor to feed the wire in preparation for secondary processing.

[0049] 4. If everything is checked correctly, the system will reset and a cutting action will be completed.

[0050] The effects of the device and system are further explained in combination with the shortcomings of the prior art:

[0051] 1. Fiber section processing accuracy issues:

[0052] Problem Overview: Traditional fiber optic cutting process relies on manual operation and visual judgment, which makes it difficult to ensure the consistency and high precision of cutting process, thus affecting the transmission performance of the optical fiber.

[0053] Solution: Through image recognition technology, the device can automatically capture the image of the fiber section and use advanced image processing algorithms to accurately analyze the image, thereby achieving high accuracy and consistency in section processing.

[0054] 2. Fiber section quality inspection and control

[0055] Problem Overview: The quality of optical fiber cut surface directly affects the transmission efficiency and loss of optical fiber. Traditional methods make it difficult to comprehensively and effectively detect and control the cut surface quality.

[0056] Solution: The device uses image recognition technology to monitor the quality of the fiber section in real time, including the flatness, angle, surface roughness and other characteristics of the section, and automatically adjusts the section processing parameters according to the detection results to ensure that the section quality reaches the optimal state.

[0057] 3. Improved fiber processing speed

[0058] Problem overview: The processing speed of optical fiber directly affects the work efficiency. Traditional optical fiber processing is to process a single optical fiber, and the optical fibers at both ends must be processed separately. Then other equipment will check the ports at both ends, the length of the optical fiber, etc., and then perform welding repairs and other operations.

[0059] Solution: The device performs end face processing on multiple optical fibers at the same time. During the processing, the camera inside the device will inspect the end face and the reserved length of the optical fiber. The inspection picture will be displayed on the screen. If there is a problem with the end face or length, the device will perform secondary processing on the optical fiber until it meets the requirements and then repair it.

[0060] 4. Adaptability of fiber types and specifications

[0061] Problem Overview: Optical fibers of different types and specifications have different requirements for cutting surface processing, and traditional methods are difficult to adapt to this diversity.

[0062] In summary, this system can improve the stability of surface processing quality and reduce human intervention and errors.

[0063] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, which should all be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
