Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of optical fiber installation quality detection, and specifically relates to a real-time auditing device for optical fiber installation quality and its usage method. Background Art

[0002] An optical fiber is the abbreviation of an optical waveguide fiber, which is a fiber made of glass or plastic and can be used as an optical conduction tool. Its transmission principle is total internal reflection of light. Since the optical fiber itself is relatively brittle and has low mechanical strength, before being put into use, the optical fiber needs to be encapsulated in a plastic sheath or a multi-layer protection structure. The cable after encapsulation is called an optical cable, and its installation methods mainly include underground burial and overhead installation.

[0003] An optical cable can be composed of a bundle of optical fibers or multiple bundles of optical fibers. Regardless of the composition method of the optical cable, during the overhead installation process, it is necessary to conduct real-time auditing of its installation quality. In addition to detecting the optical fiber loss inside the optical fiber and whether there are break points, it is also necessary to detect whether there are defects on the outer skin of the optical cable to prevent problems such as cracking or water ingress of the outer skin of the optical cable during future use, resulting in the optical fiber being unable to be used normally.

[0004] Currently, during the installation process of existing optical cables, usually, installers first carry the optical cable to the top of the utility pole and then install it. During the carrying process, the outer surface of the optical cable may be damaged due to rubbing. After being damaged, the optical cable may have its transmission efficiency reduced or even be unable to be used normally due to water ingress, resulting in a decline in installation quality. If, after the overhead installation of the optical cable is completed, the installers detect the optical cable at this time, it is not only difficult but also inefficient. Summary of the Invention

During the carrying process, the outer surface of the optical cable may be damaged due to rubbing. After being damaged, the optical cable may have its transmission efficiency reduced or even be unable to be used normally due to water ingress, resulting in a decline in installation quality. If, after the overhead installation of the optical cable is completed, the installers detect the optical cable at this time, it is not only difficult but also inefficient.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above technical problems is: a real-time auditing device for optical fiber installation quality, including a substrate, a moving component, a driving component, and an auditing and detecting component. The moving components are symmetrically arranged on the lower end surface of the substrate, the driving component is installed on the upper end surface of the substrate, the driving component is rotatably connected to the upper ends of the moving components, and the auditing and detecting component is arranged in the middle of the lower end surface of the substrate;

The pulley assembly is arranged on the middle of the transmission shaft on the right side. Vertical plates are symmetrically installed on the substrate between the front and rear second vertical shafts.

[0014] Preferably, sponge blocks are symmetrically installed at the front and rear ends of the concave surface of each semi-circular block. After the semi-circular blocks on the front and rear sides are clamped together, the sponge blocks can contact the outer surface of the optical cable. During the movement of the semi-circular blocks, the sponge blocks can wipe the surface of the optical cable, so as to wipe off the dirt adhered to the outer surface of the optical cable.

[0015] Preferably, the clamping component includes a threaded rod, a rotating disk, a rotating plate, threaded sections and sliding blocks. A rectangular groove is opened in the middle of the upper end surface of the substrate.

The lower end of each sliding block is fixedly connected to a semi-circular block. The front and rear side walls of the sliding block are in sliding fit with the front and rear side walls of the rectangular groove.

[0016] Preferably, the L-shaped detection tube is made of a transparent material. A colored liquid is filled in each L-shaped detection tube and scale lines are arranged on the outer surface of the vertical tube of the L-shaped detection tube. The colored liquid and the scale lines are arranged to facilitate the installer to judge whether there are defects such as protrusion or rupture of the optical cable from the final display device.

[0017] A method for using a real-time auditing device for optical fiber installation quality includes the following steps:

[0018] S1. Optical cable installation: First, the installer installs the optical cable overhead;

[0019] S2. Device inspection: While the above S1 is being carried out, the device inspector checks the real-time fiber optic installation quality auditing device to ensure that the device can be used normally;

[0020] S3. Component installation: After the above S2 is completed, the installer unscrews the fixing bolts, removes the moving wheels and anti-slip washers, then mounts the base plate, the first vertical shaft and the second vertical shaft above the optical cable, so that the optical cable passes through the middle of the lower ends of the first vertical shaft and the second vertical shaft. The moving wheels and anti-slip washers are successively pressed against the lower ends of the first vertical shaft and the second vertical shaft. At the same time, the adjacent outer edges of the moving wheels on the front and rear sides are respectively in contact with the optical cable. Tighten the fixing bolts to fix the moving wheels. When the installation of the moving wheels is completed, the installer rotates the rotating plate, which drives the rotating disk and the threaded rod to rotate synchronously. During the rotation of the threaded rod, the threaded section will be driven to rotate, which drives the sliding blocks on the front and rear sides to move towards the middle, and then drives the semi-circular blocks to move towards the middle to complete the clamping process. After the semi-circular blocks on the front and rear sides are clamped, the outer skin of the optical cable will slightly squeeze the sliding balls and the detection rod. At this time, the compression spring will be in a stretched state, and the liquid level of the colored liquid inside the L-shaped detection tube will also rise slightly;

[0021] S4. Detection feedback: After the liquid level of the colored liquid inside the L-shaped detection tube stops rising, start the drive motor. The drive motor drives the driving pulley to rotate, and the driving pulley drives the annular belt to rotate, which drives the driven pulley to rotate, and then drives the transmission shaft to rotate. During the rotation of the transmission shaft, the driving bevel gear and the driven bevel gear can be driven to rotate, so as to drive a pair of moving wheels on the right side to move along the optical cable, and at the same time drive the semi-circular block to move along the optical cable. During the movement of the semi-circular block, the detection rod and the sliding ball can be driven to move. When there is a protrusion on the outer skin of the optical cable, the extrusion force of the optical cable on the sliding ball will squeeze the detection rod and the piston outward. At this time, the liquid level of the colored liquid in the L-shaped detection tube will rise; when there is a crack and indentation on the outer skin of the optical cable, the reaction force of the compression spring will drive the detection rod and the sliding ball to press against the crack. At this time, the detection rod will drive the piston to move towards the optical cable, and at the same time the liquid level of the colored liquid in the L-shaped detection tube will drop. The detection probe can transmit the change in the liquid level height of the colored liquid in the L-shaped detection tube to the final display device in the hands of the installer through an electrical signal, so that the installer can judge whether there is a protrusion or crack on the surface of the optical cable.

[0022] Advantages of the present invention:

By providing removably connected moving wheels, it is convenient for optical cable installers to install the device on the optical cable for detection. Moreover, the moving wheels are symmetrically arranged front and back, which can improve the stability of the optical fiber installation quality real-time auditing device during the detection process. The clamping component can drive the semi-circular block and the auditing and detection component to clamp on the outer side of the optical cable after the moving wheels are installed, thus completing the detection process. The operation is simple, reducing the detection difficulty for installers and improving the detection efficiency.

[0024] (2) An optical fiber installation quality real-time auditing device and its usage method according to the present invention. The auditing and detection component of the present invention can convert the defects on the outer surface of the optical cable into the change in the liquid level height of the colored liquid in the L-shaped detection tube, and the L-shaped detection tube is made of transparent material. The detection probe can transmit the detection result to the terminal display device in the hands of the installer, thus facilitating the optical cable installer to make timely and accurate judgments on the detection result, improving the optical cable detection efficiency, and ensuring the optical cable installation quality.

Detailed implementation manners

[0033] In order to make the technical means, creative features, achieved purposes and functions of the present invention easy to understand, the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific implementation manners.

[0034] In an embodiment of the present invention, by providing a real-time auditing device for optical fiber installation quality, the technical problem that in the existing optical cable installation process, usually, installers first carry the optical cable to the upper end of the pole and then install it. During the carrying process, the outer surface of the optical cable may be damaged due to rubbing. After the damaged optical cable gets water, the transmission efficiency will be reduced or even unable to be used normally, resulting in a decline in installation quality. If, after the aerial installation of the optical cable is completed, the installer detects the optical cable at this time, it is not only difficult but also inefficient is solved.

[0035] The technical solution in the embodiment of the present invention to solve the above technical problem is generally as follows: First, the installer installs the real-time auditing device for optical fiber installation quality on the optical cable, and then rotates the clamping assembly to make the auditing and detecting assembly clamp on the surface of the optical cable. Start the driving part, and drive the entire real-time auditing device for optical fiber installation quality to move along the optical cable through the driving part. During the movement, the auditing and detecting assembly can detect whether there are defects on the outer surface of the optical cable and transmit the detection result to the terminal display device in the hands of the installer through an electrical signal. The detection principle of the auditing and detecting assembly is to convert the protrusion or rupture condition on the outer surface of the optical cable into the change of the liquid level height of the colored liquid in the L-shaped detecting pipe, so as to facilitate the installer to observe, greatly reducing the detection difficulty and improving the detection efficiency.

[0036] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below in conjunction with the specification drawings and specific implementation manners.

[0037] Refer to Figures 1 to 6, A real-time auditing device for optical fiber installation quality, comprising a substrate 1, a moving component 2, a driving component 3 and an auditing and detecting component 4. The moving components 2 are symmetrically arranged on the lower end face of the substrate 1. The driving component 3 is installed on the upper end face of the substrate 1. The driving component 3 is rotationally connected to the upper ends of the moving components 2. The auditing and detecting component 4 is arranged in the middle of the lower end face of the substrate 1;

[0038] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , The moving component 2 includes a first vertical shaft 21, a second vertical shaft 22, a moving wheel 23 and a fixing bolt 24. Among them, the first vertical shaft 21 is symmetrically installed before and after through bearings at a position near the left side of the lower end face of the substrate 1. The second vertical shaft 22 is symmetrically penetrated before and after at a position near the right side of the substrate 1. The second vertical shaft 22 is connected to the substrate 1 through a bearing. The upper end of the second vertical shaft 22 extends above the substrate 1 and is rotationally connected to the driving component 3. Threaded holes are opened in the middle of the lower ends of the first vertical shaft 21 and the second vertical shaft 22. A cylindrical through hole is opened in the middle of the moving wheel 23. The moving wheel 23 is fixedly connected to the lower ends of the first vertical shaft 21 and the second vertical shaft 22 through the fixing bolt 24. An anti-slip washer is sleeved between the lower end of the first vertical shaft 21 and the upper end face of the moving wheel 23. An anti-slip washer is sleeved between the lower end of the second vertical shaft 22 and the upper end face of the moving wheel 23. The anti-slip washer can increase friction and prevent slipping, thus being more conducive to the fixed installation of the moving wheel 23. The outer ring of the moving wheel 23 is in a semi-circular arc structure that is recessed inward, and anti-slip lines are provided on the inner wall of the semi-circular arc structure. The semi-circular arc structure of the moving wheel 23 can be mutually attached to the surface of the optical cable, so that the real-time auditing device for optical fiber installation quality can be more stably installed on the optical cable. The anti-slip lines can prevent slipping between the moving wheel 23 and the optical cable and affect the detection result. During specific work, during detection, the installer unscrews the fixing bolt 24 to remove the moving wheel 23, then mounts the substrate 1, the first vertical shaft 21 and the second vertical shaft 22 above the optical cable, so that the optical cable is located in the middle of the lower ends of the first vertical shaft 21 and the second vertical shaft 22. The moving wheel 23 and the anti-slip washer are sequentially pressed against the lower ends of the first vertical shaft 21 and the second vertical shaft 22. At the same time, the adjacent outer edges of the moving wheels 23 on the front and rear sides are respectively in contact with the optical cable, and the fixing bolt 24 is tightened to fix the moving wheel 23.

[0039] Refer to Figure 1, the driving component 3 includes a support base 31, a driving motor 32, a pulley assembly 33, a transmission shaft 34, a vertical plate 35, a driving bevel gear 36 and a driven bevel gear 37. Among them, a support base 31 is fixedly connected to the upper end surface of the base plate 1 near the left side. A driving motor 32 is fixedly installed on the upper end surface of the support base 31 through a motor base. A pulley assembly 33 is connected to the output shaft of the driving motor 32. The pulley assembly 33 is disposed on the middle part of the transmission shaft 34 on the right side. Vertical plates 35 are symmetrically installed on the base plate 1 between the front and rear second vertical shafts 22. The transmission shaft 34 is installed on the vertical plates 35 near the upper end through bearings. The front and rear ends of the transmission shaft 34 respectively extend to the front and rear sides of the vertical plates 35 and are installed with driving bevel gears 36 in a key connection manner. A driven bevel gear 37 is engaged below the driving bevel gear 36. The driven bevel gear 37 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the second vertical shaft 22 in a key connection manner. During specific operation, when the moving wheels 23 are installed, the driving motor 32 is started. The driving motor 32 drives the pulley assembly 33 to rotate, thereby driving the transmission shaft 34 to rotate. During the rotation of the transmission shaft 34, the driving bevel gear 36 and the driven bevel gear 37 can be driven to rotate, so as to drive the pair of moving wheels 23 on the right side to move along the optical cable.

[0040] Continue to refer to Figure 1 , the pulley assembly 33 includes a driving pulley 331, an endless belt 332 and a driven pulley 333. Among them, a driving pulley 331 is fixedly arranged on the output shaft of the driving motor 32 in a key connection manner. A driven pulley 333 is disposed on the right side of the driving pulley 331. The driven pulley 333 is installed on the middle part of the transmission shaft 34 in a key connection manner. The driving pulley 331 and the driven pulley 333 are connected by an endless belt 332. During specific operation, when the moving wheels 23 are installed, the driving motor 32 is started. The driving motor 32 drives the driving pulley 331 to rotate. The driving pulley 331 drives the endless belt 332 to rotate, thereby driving the driven pulley 333 to rotate, and further achieving the purpose of driving the transmission shaft 34 to rotate.

[0041] Refer to Figures 1 to 4, the auditing and detecting component 4 includes a clamping component 41, semi-circular blocks 42, an auditing and detecting component 43, side plates 44, and detection probes 45. A rectangular groove is formed in the middle of the upper end surface of the substrate 1, and the clamping component 41 is arranged in the rectangular groove. Semi-circular blocks 42 are symmetrically and fixedly installed at the front and rear of the lower end of the clamping component 41. Sponge blocks are symmetrically installed at both ends of the concave surface of each semi-circular block 42. When the semi-circular blocks 42 on the front and rear sides are clamped together, the sponge blocks can come into contact with the outer surface of the optical cable. During the movement of the semi-circular blocks 42, the sponge blocks can wipe the surface of the optical cable, thereby wiping off the dirt adhered to the outer surface of the optical cable. An auditing and detecting component 43 is arranged inside the semi-circular blocks 42. A side plate 44 is fixedly connected to the middle of the outer edge of the left side wall of each semi-circular block 42, and a detection probe 45 is installed in the middle of the right side wall of the side plate 44. In this embodiment, the detection probe 45 is connected to the terminal display device in the installer's hand through an electrical signal, aiming to facilitate the installer to observe the detection results. During specific operation, by the installer rotating the clamping component 41, the semi-circular blocks 42 on the front and rear sides are driven to clamp on the outside of the optical cable. At this time, the inner end of the auditing and detecting component 43 slightly presses against the outer skin of the optical cable. The driving component 3 is started, and the entire real-time auditing device for optical fiber installation quality is driven to move along the optical cable by the driving component 3. During the movement, the auditing and detecting component 43 can detect whether there are protrusions or cracks on the outer skin of the optical cable, and the detection probe 45 can feed back the detection results of the auditing and detecting component 43 to the terminal display device in the installer's hand.

[0042] Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the clamping component 41 includes a threaded rod 411, a rotating disk 412, a rotating plate 413, threaded sections 414, and sliding blocks 415. A rectangular groove is formed in the middle of the upper end surface of the substrate 1. The threaded rod 411 is installed on the front and rear inner side walls of the rectangular groove through bearings. The rear end of the threaded rod 411 extends to the rear side of the substrate 1 and is fixedly connected to the rotating disk 412. A rotating plate 413 is vertically and fixedly installed in the middle of the rear side wall of the rotating disk 412. Threaded sections 414 are symmetrically formed on the threaded rod 411 inside the rectangular groove. Each threaded section 414 is fixedly connected to a sliding block 415. The lower end of each sliding block 415 is fixedly connected to a semi-circular block 42. The front and rear side walls of the sliding block 415 are in sliding fit with the front and rear side walls of the rectangular groove. During specific operation, after the moving wheel 23 is installed, by the installer rotating the rotating plate 413, the rotating disk 412 and the threaded rod 411 are driven to rotate synchronously. During the rotation of the threaded rod 411, the threaded sections 414 are driven to rotate, thereby driving the sliding blocks 415 on the front and rear sides to move towards the middle, and further driving the semi-circular blocks 42 to move towards the middle to complete the clamping process.

[0043] Refer to Figure 5 andFigure 6 The described auditing and detecting component 43 includes a cylindrical groove 431, a piston 432, a compression spring 433, a detection rod 434, a sliding ball 435, a connecting pipe 436 and an L-shaped detection pipe 437. Among them, cylindrical grooves 431 are evenly formed in the circumferential direction inside each semi-circular block 42. The position of the cylindrical groove 431 close to the edge of the semi-circular block 42 is communicated with one end of the connecting pipe 436. L-shaped detection pipes 437 are evenly clamped along the circumferential direction of the outer edge of the semi-circular block 42. The other end of the connecting pipe 436 is communicated with the inside of the L-shaped detection pipe 437. The L-shaped detection pipe 437 is made of a transparent material. Each L-shaped detection pipe 437 is filled with a colored liquid, and a scale line is arranged on the outer surface of the vertical pipe of the L-shaped detection pipe 437. The arrangement of the colored liquid and the scale line facilitates the installer to judge whether there are defects such as protrusions or ruptures on the optical cable from the final display device. A piston 432 is slidably and sealingly installed inside the cylindrical groove 431. A detection rod 434 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the piston 432 away from the connecting pipe 436. One end of the detection rod 434 away from the piston 432 extends to the inside of the semi-circular block 42 and is rotatably connected to a sliding ball 435. A compression spring 433 is sleeved on the detection rod 434 inside the piston 432. The upper end of the compression spring 433 is fixedly connected to the piston 432, and the lower end of the compression spring 433 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cylindrical groove 431. During specific operation, after the front and rear semi-circular blocks 42 are clamped together, the outer skin of the optical cable will slightly squeeze the sliding ball 435 and the detection rod 434. At this time, the compression spring 433 will be in a stretched state, and the liquid level of the colored liquid inside the L-shaped detection pipe 437 will also rise accordingly. After the liquid level of the colored liquid stops rising, start the driving component 3. Drive the substrate 1 and the moving component 2 to move along the optical cable through the driving component 3, and at the same time drive the semi-circular block 42 to move along the optical cable. The semi-circular block 42 can drive the detection rod 434 and the sliding ball 435 to move during the movement. When there is a protrusion on the outer skin of the optical cable, the extrusion force of the optical cable on the sliding ball 435 will extrude the detection rod 434 and the piston 432 outward. At this time, the liquid level of the colored liquid in the L-shaped detection pipe 437 will rise; when there is a concave rupture on the outer skin of the optical cable, the reaction force of the compression spring 433 will drive the detection rod 434 and the sliding ball 435 to press against the rupture. At this time, the detection rod 434 will drive the piston 432 to move towards the side close to the optical cable, and at the same time the liquid level of the colored liquid in the L-shaped detection pipe 437 will drop. The detection probe 45 can transmit the change in the liquid level height of the colored liquid in the L-shaped detection pipe 437 to the final display device in the hands of the installer through an electrical signal.

[0044] In addition, the present invention also provides a method for using an optical fiber installation quality real-time auditing device, including the following steps:

[0045] S1. Optical cable installation: First, the installer installs the optical cable overhead;

[0046] S2. Device inspection: While the above S1 is being carried out, the device inspector checks the real-time fiber optic installation quality auditing device to ensure that the device can be used normally;

[0047] S3. Component installation: After the above S2 is completed, the installer unscrews the fixing bolt 24, removes the moving wheel 23 and the anti-slip washer, then mounts the substrate 1, the first vertical shaft 21 and the second vertical shaft 22 above the optical cable, so that the optical cable crosses the middle of the lower ends of the first vertical shaft 21 and the second vertical shaft 22. Press the moving wheel 23 and the anti-slip washer against the lower ends of the first vertical shaft 21 and the second vertical shaft 22 in sequence. At the same time, the adjacent outer edges of the moving wheels 23 on the front and rear sides are in contact with the optical cable respectively. Tighten the fixing bolt 24 to fix the moving wheel 23. When the installation of the moving wheel 23 is completed, the installer rotates the rotating plate 413, thereby driving the rotating disk 412 and the threaded rod 411 to rotate synchronously. During the rotation of the threaded rod 411, the threaded section 414 will be driven to rotate, thereby driving the sliding blocks 415 on the front and rear sides to move towards the middle, and further driving the semi-circular blocks 42 to move towards the middle to complete the clamping process. After the semi-circular blocks 42 on the front and rear sides are clamped, the outer skin of the optical cable will slightly squeeze the sliding ball 435 and the detection rod 434. At this time, the compression spring 433 will be in a stretched state, and the liquid level of the colored liquid inside the L-shaped detection tube 437 will also rise slightly;

[0048] S4. Detection and feedback: After the liquid level of the colored liquid inside the L-shaped detection tube 437 stops rising, start the drive motor 32. The drive motor 32 drives the driving pulley 331 to rotate. The driving pulley 331 drives the annular belt 332 to rotate, thereby driving the driven pulley 333 to rotate, and further driving the transmission shaft 34 to rotate. During the rotation of the transmission shaft 34, the driving bevel gear 36 and the driven bevel gear 37 can be driven to rotate, so as to drive a pair of moving wheels 23 on the right side to move along the optical cable, and at the same time drive the semi-circular block 42 to move along the optical cable. During the movement of the semi-circular block 42, the detection rod 434 and the sliding ball 435 can be driven to move. When there is a bulge on the outer skin of the optical cable, the extrusion force of the optical cable on the sliding ball 435 will squeeze the detection rod 434 and the piston 432 outward. At this time, the liquid level of the colored liquid in the L-shaped detection tube 437 will rise; when there is a crack and indentation on the outer skin of the optical cable, the reaction force of the compression spring 433 will drive the detection rod 434 and the sliding ball 435 to press against the crack. At this time, the detection rod 434 will drive the piston 432 to move towards the side close to the optical cable, and at the same time the liquid level of the colored liquid in the L-shaped detection tube 437 will drop. The detection probe 45 can transmit the change in the liquid level height of the colored liquid in the L-shaped detection tube 437 to the final display device in the hands of the installer through an electrical signal, so that the installer can judge whether there is a bulge or crack on the surface of the optical cable.
