Currently, the treatment tanks used for treating optical fibers are all tanks with a hollow interior and an open end at one end. The tank body is generally circular, and a box door is generally provided at the open end of the tank body. Such a treatment tank has defects. Since the tank body is circular, the trolley carrying the optical fiber reel cannot be directly pushed into the circular tank body, and it is necessary to manually carry the optical fiber reels into the tank body one by one, which is not reasonably designed.

[0010] Further, the deuterium gas processing system further includes a ramp assembly, which includes a fixing plate, a ramp plate and a second linear driving member. The top side of the fixing plate is an inclined surface, and the height of the inclined surface continuously increases in the direction close to the box body. A fixing groove is formed at the top of the side of the fixing plate close to the box body. The fixing groove has a first side wall arranged opposite to the box body. One side of the ramp plate is rotatably arranged in the fixing groove and is arranged on the side of the first side wall close to the box body.

[0077] (3) Start the vacuum pumping assembly 4, pump the box body 11 to vacuum and maintain the pressure for a period of time;

[0078] (4) Open the second valve 34 for a period of time, and then start the vacuum pumping assembly 4 to pump the box body 11 to vacuum again;

[0079] (5) Open the first valve 24 and the second valve 34, and control the ratio of deuterium gas and nitrogen gas entering the box body 11 through the first flow meter 23 and the second flow meter 33, so that the gas pressure in the box body 11 reaches the preset process treatment pressure, and start to process the optical fiber;

[0080] (6) After the processing is carried out for a preset time, start the vacuum pumping assembly 4 to pump the box body 11 to vacuum again, then close the vacuum pumping assembly 4 and open the stop valve 52. After a period of time, start the first linear drive 133, and the output shaft of the first linear drive 133 retracts, so that the clamping block 132 releases the box door 12, and then open the box door 12 to take out the optical fiber.

[0096] (11) After the processing is carried out for a preset time, detect the deuterium gas concentration through the deuterium gas concentration analyzer 61, and detect the pressure through the pressure sensor 8 during the processing. When the pressure drops and exceeds the process allowable deviation range or the deuterium gas concentration exceeds the deviation range, open the first valve 24 and the second valve 34, and control the air replenishment ratio of deuterium gas and nitrogen gas entering the box body 11 through the first flowmeter 23 and the second flowmeter 33, so that the gas pressure inside the box body 11 maintains the preset process treatment pressure;

[0099] (14) When the air pressure inside the box body 11 detected by the pressure sensor 8 is consistent with the ambient air pressure, the first linear driving member 133 is activated, so that the output shaft of the first linear driving member 133 retracts. The output shaft of the first linear driving member 133 drives the clamping block 132, the clamping head 131, and the connecting block 136 to rotate away from the box door 12, and then the box door 12 is rotated to open the box body 11.

[0100] (15) The second linear driving member 93 is activated, and the output shaft of the second linear driving member 93 extends outwards, so that the slope plate 92 is inclined until the slope plate 92 is parallel to the top side of the fixing plate 91, and then the trolley loaded with the optical fiber reel is pushed out of the box body 11 through the inclined fixing plate 91 and the slope plate 92;

[0101] (16) The second linear driving member 93 is activated, and the output shaft of the second linear driving member 93 retracts, so that the slope plate 92 assembly rotates to the horizontal.

[0102] By opening the cut-off valve 52, since the gas in the box body 11 communicates with the outside air through the air pipeline 51, the air pressure in the box body 11 can be balanced, which is convenient for taking out the optical fiber in the box body 11.

[0103] In this embodiment, in step (11), the calculation method for the ratio of the flow rates of deuterium gas and nitrogen gas entering the box body 11 is as follows:

[0104] Let the deuterium gas ratio flow rate be μ (D) and the volume be V (D) and the pressure be P (D) , the nitrogen gas ratio flow rate be μ (N) and the volume be V (N) and the pressure be P (N) , the deuterium gas process ratio concentration be X%, the full-scale flow rate of the first flowmeter 23 be ν (D) , the full-scale flow rate of the second flowmeter 33 be ν (N) , the vacuum pressure P0 inside the box body 11 when filling the deuterium gas and nitrogen gas mixture, and the pressure P1 inside the box body 11 when filling the deuterium gas and nitrogen gas mixture ends;

[0105] The calculation formulas for the deuterium gas and nitrogen gas ratio flow rates are as follows:

[0106]

[0107] When the box body 11 is filled with the deuterium gas and nitrogen gas mixture, the ratio of the deuterium gas and nitrogen gas ratio flow rates is equal to the ratio of their filled volumes, and also equal to the ratio of their filled pressures.

[0108] Because the inside of the box body 11 is not absolutely vacuum before gas mixing, there are residual gases. Moreover, the larger the volume of the box body 11, the lower the vacuum degree it can withstand, and the more residual gases there are during vacuum pumping and replacement. The greater the impact on the deuterium concentration after gas mixing. In an ideal state, when evacuating and replacing the inside of the box body 11 in step (9), if the vacuum pumping pressure P0 reaches the absolute pressure of 0, there will be no residual gases in the box body 11. However, due to the pressure bearing capacity of the box body 11 and the performance of the vacuum pump 41 itself, it is impossible to reach absolute vacuum inside the box body 11 during vacuum pumping and replacement. Therefore, when calculating the ratio of deuterium and nitrogen flow rates, the influence of residual gases on the deuterium concentration after gas mixing should be subtracted. According to the formula in step (11), the deuterium and nitrogen mixed gas is filled into the box body 11. After reaching the process treatment pressure P1, the deuterium concentration in the box body 11 can be accurately controlled at the process ratio concentration X% set by the operator.

[0109] In this embodiment, the optical fiber deuterium treatment process further includes the following steps:

[0110] When the pressure sensor 8 detects that the internal air pressure of the box body 11 drops beyond the allowable consumption range of the process, the first valve 24 and the second valve 34 are opened, and the first flowmeter 23 and the second flowmeter 33 replenish the deuterium and nitrogen mixed gas according to the deuterium process ratio concentration X%. When the box body 11 replenishes the deuterium and nitrogen mixed gas, the deuterium and nitrogen ratio concentration is calculated according to the following formula:

[0111]

[0112] After the deuterium and nitrogen are mixed and enter the process treatment stage, which is affected by the quality of the optical fiber product, the deuterium inside the box body 11 may be consumed. The consumption can be compensated by replenishing deuterium and nitrogen into the box body 11.

[0113] In this embodiment, the following steps are further included. After processing the optical fiber in one box body 11 in step (16), the fifth valve 16 and the sixth valve 17 of another box body assembly 1 are opened to process the optical fiber in the next box body assembly 1.

[0114] When taking out the optical fiber in one box body 11, the optical fiber in another box body 11 can be processed during this time, so that the box body 11 can be used alone or in combination; the pressure of deuterium can be adjusted as needed to make the pressure of deuterium meet the process requirements; the concentration of deuterium can be set as needed, and the ratio of deuterium to nitrogen is controllable, ensuring the gas mixing accuracy and reducing the gas procurement cost.

[0115] As described above, it is only the preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
