Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of optical fiber processing equipment, and in particular to an optical fiber cleaning device. Background Art

[0002] As an emerging sensing technology, fiber optic sensors are widely used in military, national defense, aerospace, industrial and mining enterprises, energy and environmental protection, industrial control, medical and health, computing and measurement, household appliances and civil engineering. The main difference between fiber optic sensors and traditional sensors is that traditional sensors are based on strain-electricity, use electrical signals as the carrier for conversion and transmission, and use wires to transmit electrical signals. Therefore, they are restricted by the environment when used, such as short circuits caused by excessive humidity, especially in high temperature and flammable and explosive environments, which can easily cause accidents. Fiber optic sensors use optical signals as the carrier for conversion and transmission, and use optical fibers to transmit signals. They are not subject to electromagnetic interference, have extremely high insulation, good explosion-proof performance, are corrosion-resistant, can be wound, are easy to reuse, are easy to form a network, and have simple optical fiber materials, are easy to obtain, and are low in cost. In the actual application of optical fiber processing, different optical fibers need to be fused together. Before fusion, the coating on the optical fiber surface must be removed with a tool, and then the debris remaining on the optical fiber surface and cross section must be cleaned. The commonly used method for cleaning optical fibers is to wipe them with a dust-free cloth or paper towel moistened with alcohol. This method requires a lot of materials to be carried, is complicated to operate, cannot be integrated, and has a limited working environment. The optical fiber cleaning device proposed in the present invention integrates a variety of tools required for cleaning optical fibers.
