Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of optical fiber winding, and more particularly to a fully automatic winding device and method for guiding an optical fiber coil. Background Art

[0002] Guidance fiber is widely used in equipment such as wired-guided missiles, torpedoes, submarine-launched missiles, and underwater unmanned vehicles. It is a specialized optical cable with advantages such as a thin outer diameter, light weight, wide transmission bandwidth, immunity to electromagnetic interference, and low cost. During the payout process, the guidance fiber spool simultaneously transmits information, requiring a stable transmission channel with minimal attenuation.

[0003] While domestic fiber optic winding technology is maturing, the equipment remains incomplete, and the winding process for long-distance guided fiber optic rings cannot be achieved without manual intervention. Due to the unique nature of guided fiber spools, winding a single long-distance guided fiber spool typically takes dozens of hours, requiring real-time observation and operation throughout the entire process. This places a heavy strain on the operator's patience and attention. Slight vibrations from the equipment and dust and debris in the surrounding environment can cause the guided fiber spool to become uneven, with staggered or stacked fibers, uneven tension, and even breakage. Therefore, the control accuracy and degree of automation of the winding device directly determine the quality, product consistency, and production efficiency of the guided fiber spool.

[0004] Conventional fiber spooling equipment cannot guarantee that each layer of guidance fiber spools, spanning over ten kilometers, is free of fiber compression, overlap, or misalignment, with uniform spacing and consistent tension. Furthermore, it cannot guarantee smooth unwinding and fiber breakage during high-speed payout. The quality of guidance fiber spools is crucial for applications such as wire-guided missiles, torpedoes, submarine-launched missiles, and underwater unmanned vehicles. Summary of the Invention

[0012] Furthermore, the winding traction wheel group includes a transition wheel, a tension wheel, a length counting wheel and a traction wheel which are sequentially arranged along the fiber-out direction of the guide optical fiber, and the length counting wheel and the traction wheel are both horizontally arranged on the adjustable crossbeam; the transition wheel is located below the length counting wheel, and the tension wheel is located below the transition wheel; a tension limit sensor is also provided on the wire-taking and arranging frame and between the transition wheel and the tension wheel, and a length counting sensor is also provided on the wire-taking and arranging frame and corresponding to the position of the length counting wheel.

Pass the fiber-outlet end of the guide fiber through the pay-off correction pendulum needle and the winding traction wheel assembly in sequence.

[0018] The fixed motor drives the fixed mechanism moving platform to move on the fixed mechanism base, and clamps the take-up roller with staggered semicircular buckles;

[0019] After the calibration is completed, remove the weights and place the end of the guide fiber outlet close to the take-up roller baffle at one end of the take-up roller and secure it;

[0021] The winding parameters are set and the automatic winding process is started. The control display mechanism controls the pay-off mechanism, the pay-off and arranging mechanism, the take-up and arranging mechanism, the fixing mechanism and the take-up mechanism to cooperate to evenly and reciprocally wind the guide optical fiber layer on the surface of the take-up roller to obtain a guide optical fiber coil.

[0022] Furthermore, the automatic winding process is specifically as follows:

[0023] When guiding optical fiber pay-off, the tension sensor collects the floating signal of the tension wheel, controls the pay-off spindle motor to drive the original optical fiber group to rotate, and starts to pay-off at a variable speed to stably reach the set constant tension value;

[0027] The guide optical fiber is wound in circles along the axis of the take-up roller at a uniform speed, and the length of the guide optical fiber on the take-up roller is calculated based on the data fed back by the length recording wheel;

[0028] After the winding reaches the set length, the first layer of winding is completed, the wire taking-up and arranging mechanism moves in the reverse direction, the winding traction wheel group pulls in the reverse direction, and the second layer is wound in the reverse direction, realizing reciprocating automatic winding.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0030] 1. The winding device of the present invention can realize stable, fully automatic and uniform winding of the guiding optical fiber through the mutual cooperation of the wire-releasing mechanism, the wire-releasing and arranging mechanism, the wire-receiving and arranging mechanism, the fixing mechanism and the wire-receiving mechanism, and is controlled by the control display mechanism, so as to obtain high-quality, long-distance guiding optical fiber coils. The whole process has a high degree of automation and high precision, which improves the production efficiency of the device, reduces the intensity of manual operation, and also ensures the quality and consistency of the guiding optical fiber coils. It has a simple structure and reliable functions.

[0031] 2. The wire-taking and arranging mechanism in the present invention controls the wire-taking and arranging screw through the wire-taking and arranging motor, drives the wire-taking and arranging frame to move in the winding direction at a uniform speed according to the set parameters, and through the winding traction wheel group, it moves left and right at a uniform speed while winding and winding, so that the guide optical fiber is wound evenly and orderly with constant tension on the wire-taking roller, effectively avoiding the phenomena of knotting, fiber compression, fiber misalignment and fiber breakage when the guide optical fiber is wound.

[0032] 3. The pay-off and arranging mechanism of the present invention drives the pay-off and arranging movable platform to translate through the pay-off and arranging motor, that is, drives the pay-off and arranging wheel to translate, adjusts the position of the original optical fiber group, thereby adjusting the fiber output direction of the guide optical fiber, and ensures the reliability of the pay-off process.

[0033] 4. The winding traction wheel group of the present invention uses the transition wheel, tension wheel, length recording wheel and traction wheel to pull the guiding optical fiber during the winding process of the guiding optical fiber, thereby ensuring the reliability of the winding process. At the same time, according to the up and down floating of the tension wheel, the tension sensor feeds back to the control and display mechanism to control the pay-off spindle motor to rotate and wind, and the pay-off mechanism starts to pay off the wire at a constant tension and variable speed, thereby avoiding the phenomena of knotting, pressing, misalignment and breakage of the guiding optical fiber caused by unstable tension when winding the guiding optical fiber.

[0034] 5. The fixing mechanism of the present invention utilizes a fixed ejector motor to change the distance between the fixed frame and the movable platform of the fixing mechanism, and can lock and fix take-up rollers of different lengths through staggered semicircular buckles. Compared with the fixed cone structure, the staggered semicircular buckles adopted can drive larger, longer and heavier guide optical fiber clusters, and are suitable for long-distance guide optical fiber clusters, with a wider range of applications and higher practicality.

[0035] 6. The winding method of the present invention first corrects the tension of the guide optical fiber through the tension adjustment spring and the counterweight adjustment wheel, installs the take-up roller of corresponding length after correction, and fixes the end of the fiber outlet, manually controls the winding of the first circle of the guide optical fiber, and starts the automatic winding process after setting the winding parameters. The whole method can stably, fully automatically, and efficiently wind high-quality long-distance guide optical fiber groups, thereby improving production efficiency and precision.

It is understood, both explicitly and implicitly, by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0048] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides a fully automatic winding device for guiding optical fiber coils, comprising a frame 100, a control and display mechanism provided on the frame 100, and a pay-off mechanism 1, a pay-off and arranging mechanism 2, a take-up and arranging mechanism 3, a fixing mechanism 4, and a take-up mechanism 5 connected to the control and display mechanism;

[0049] The pay-off mechanism 1 drives the original optical fiber group 11 to pay off the wire, and the pay-off and arranging mechanism 2 drives the pay-off mechanism 1 to translate to adjust the fiber-out direction of the guide optical fiber; the take-up and arranging mechanism 3 is used to pull the guide optical fiber during the fiber-out process, adjust the tension value of the guide optical fiber, and adjust the position of the guide optical fiber relative to the take-up mechanism 5; the fixing mechanism 4 drives the take-up mechanism 5 to translate, and the take-up mechanism 5 realizes uniform winding of the guide optical fiber.

[0050] The wire-paying and arranging mechanism 2 includes a wire-paying and arranging movable platform 21, a wire-paying and arranging base 22, a wire-paying and arranging motor 25, and a wire-paying and arranging wheel 26. The wire-paying and arranging base 22 is mounted on the frame 100, and the wire-paying and arranging movable platform 21 is mounted on the wire-paying and arranging base 22 and slidably engages with the movable platform 21. The wire-paying and arranging motor 25 is also mounted on the base 22 and connected to the movable platform 21. The movable platform 21 is provided with the wire-paying and arranging wheel 26 of the wire-paying mechanism 1.

[0051] Furthermore, limit sensors, namely a first limit sensor 23 and a second limit sensor 24 , are relatively provided on the wire-paying and arranging base 22 to limit the moving stroke of the wire-paying and arranging movable platform 21 .

[0052] The pay-off mechanism 1 includes an original optical fiber group 11, a locking nut 12, and a pay-off motor 13. The original optical fiber group 11 is placed on the pay-off and arranging wheel 26 and fixed by the locking nut 12. The pay-off motor 13 is also placed on the pay-off and arranging movable platform 21 and is connected to the original optical fiber group 11, that is, it drives the original optical fiber group 11 to rotate and pay out the optical fiber.

[0053] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the wire-taking and arranging mechanism 3 includes a winding traction wheel group, a wire-taking and arranging screw 312, a wire-taking and arranging base 313, a wire-taking and arranging frame 314, and a wire-taking and arranging motor 319;

[0054] The wire take-up and arrangement base 313 is mounted on the frame 100. The wire take-up and arrangement motor 319 is mounted on the base 313 and connected to the wire take-up and arrangement screw 312. The wire take-up and arrangement frame 314 is movably mounted on the base 313 and connected to the wire take-up and arrangement screw 312. A winding traction wheel assembly is mounted on the wire take-up and arrangement frame 314 along the fiber output direction of the guide optical fiber.

[0055] Furthermore, in order to facilitate installation and guide optical fiber winding, an adjustable beam 316 and an adjustment rocker 315 connected to the adjustable beam 316 are also provided on the wire taking-up and arranging frame 314. The adjustment rocker 315 is used to adjust the position of the adjustable beam 316 up and down, and can adapt to take-up rollers 53 of different diameters.

[0056] Furthermore, the winding reel assembly includes a transition wheel 32, a tension wheel 33, a length-measuring wheel 34, and a traction wheel 35, which are sequentially arranged along the fiber-extracting direction of the guide optical fiber. The length-measuring wheel 34 is arranged on the adjustable crossbeam 316, that is, the height of the length-measuring wheel 34 can be adjusted. The transition wheel 32 is located below the length-measuring wheel 34, the tension wheel 33 is located below the transition wheel 32, and the traction wheel 35 is arranged horizontally with the length-measuring wheel 34.

[0057] Furthermore, the wire take-up and traversing mechanism 3 also includes a tension adjustment spring 38, a tension sensor 39, and a counterweight adjustment wheel 310. The counterweight adjustment wheel 310 is positioned opposite the tension wheel 33 and connected via a connecting rod. The tension sensor 39 is mounted on the wire take-up and traversing frame 314 and connected to the connecting rod. One end of the tension adjustment spring 38 is connected to the wire take-up and traversing frame 314, and the other end is connected between the center of the connecting rod and the counterweight adjustment wheel 310.

[0058] Specifically, under the action of the tension adjustment spring 38, the tension wheel 33 and the counterweight adjustment wheel 310 swing up and down with the connection point between the tension sensor 39 and the connecting rod as the axis. When the set tension value is reached, the tension wheel 33 and the counterweight adjustment wheel 310 are relatively horizontal. In this way, during the winding process, the tension fluctuations also fluctuate horizontally, and the adjustable tension range is large enough so as not to trigger the tension sensor 39.

[0059] Furthermore, a pay-off position sensor 36 is provided on the side of the take-up and arrangement frame 314. Two position sensor pins 31 are provided on the pay-off position sensor 36 and are located between the original fiber group 11 and the transition wheel 32. The position sensor pins 31 correspond to the position of the original fiber group 11.

[0060] In this embodiment, due to the provision of two position sensor pins 31, the outlet end of the original fiber 11 passes between the two position sensor pins 31 of the payout position sensor 36. The left-right swinging of the position sensor pins 31 causes the payout position sensor 36 to generate a signal change. Based on the feedback from the payout position sensor 36, the payout and arranging motor 25 drives the payout and arranging movable platform 21 to translate, that is, drives the payout mechanism 1 to translate, so that the original fiber 11 moves toward the fiber outlet end. This prevents the original fiber 11 from swinging left and right during payout, which would cause excessive tension fluctuations in the guide fiber, leading to wear, derailment, and fiber breakage of the guide fiber on the payout and arranging wheel 26.

[0061] Furthermore, a tension limit sensor 37 is provided on the wire-taking and arranging frame 314 and located between the transition wheel 32 and the tension wheel 33 , and a length sensor 311 is provided on the wire-taking and arranging frame 314 and corresponding to the position of the length-measuring wheel 34 .

[0062] Furthermore, limit sensors, namely a third limit sensor 317 and a fourth limit sensor 318 , are respectively provided at both ends of the wire take-up and arranging base 313 to limit the movement stroke of the wire take-up and arranging frame 314 .

[0063] The fixing mechanism 4 includes a fixing mechanism movable platform 41, a fixing mechanism base 42, a coupling 43, a fixing motor 44, and a fixing frame (not shown). The fixing mechanism base 42 is disposed on the frame 100, the fixing mechanism movable platform 41 is movably disposed on the fixing mechanism base 42, and the fixing frame is also disposed on the fixing mechanism base 42. The fixing motor 44 is disposed on the fixing mechanism base 42 and is connected to the fixing mechanism movable platform 41 via the coupling 43. A wire take-up mechanism 5 is disposed between the fixing mechanism movable platform 41 and the fixing frame.

[0064] The wire take-up mechanism 5 includes staggered semicircular buckles 51, a take-up roller baffle 52, a take-up roller 53, and a take-up spindle motor 54. The take-up roller baffles are positioned opposite each other on the fixed mechanism movable platform 41 and the fixed frame, and the take-up roller 53 is mounted thereon. The take-up spindle motor 54 is mounted on the fixed frame and connected to the take-up roller 53. The take-up roller baffle 52 is provided with staggered semicircular buckles 51 for locking and securing the take-up roller 53.

[0065] Furthermore, the surface of the take-up roller 53 is provided with thread engraved lines, that is, thread engraved lines of corresponding size are engraved on the surface of the take-up roller 53 according to the diameter of the guide optical fiber by using laser.

[0066] In this embodiment, by providing staggered semicircular buckles 51, the take-up roller baffles 52 at both ends of the take-up roller 53 can be respectively locked and locked with the take-up spindle motor 54 and the fixing mechanism movable platform 41, thereby ensuring the reliability of the take-up spindle motor 54 in driving the take-up roller 53 to rotate. The take-up spindle motor 54 can drive the guide optical fiber to quickly wind along the threaded lines on the surface of the take-up roller 53. Since long-distance guide optical fiber coils are wound in many layers, the uniformity and consistency of the winding in the first layer and multiple layers play a key role, thereby improving the working efficiency of the winding device.

[0067] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 5 As shown, the control and display mechanism includes a control box 6 and an operation display unit 7 connected to the control box 6. The control box 6 is also connected to a tension sensor 39, a length sensor 311, a pay-off position sensor 36, a tension limit sensor 37, a limit sensor, a pay-off motor 13, a pay-off and arranging motor 25, a take-up and arranging motor 319, a take-up spindle motor 54 and a fixed motor 44 to realize automatic control of the winding device.

[0068] See Figure 6 As shown, the present invention also provides a fully automatic winding method for a guide optical fiber coil, the specific steps of the method include the following:

[0069] Step S1: Tension calibration. Place the original fiber 11 on the pay-off and arranging wheel 26 of the pay-off and arranging mechanism 2 and secure it with the lock nut 12. Pass the outlet end of the guide fiber through the pay-off calibration pin 31 and the winding traction wheel assembly, namely, the transition wheel 32, the tension wheel 33, the length-recording wheel 34, and the traction wheel 35. Then, hang a weight of appropriate tension, and adjust the tension adjustment spring 38 and the counterweight adjustment wheel 310 to calibrate the tension of the guide fiber.

[0070] Specifically, in the system parameters in the operation display unit 7, before hanging the weights, set the tension correction value to 0, hang the weights at the end according to the above-mentioned routing method, adjust the tension wheel 33 and the counterweight adjustment wheel 310 to a relative level, and calibrate the tension value of the guide optical fiber in the system parameters in the operation display unit 7.

[0071] Step S2: Clamp and fix the take-up roller 53, that is, install the take-up roller 53 with threaded lines in the take-up mechanism 5 on the staggered semicircular buckle 51. Use the jog interface of the operation display unit 7 to control the fixed motor 44 to rotate, drive the coupling 43 and then drive the fixed mechanism moving platform 41 to move left and right on the fixed mechanism base 42, so as to clamp and fix the take-up roller 53.

[0072] Step S3: After the guide optical fiber is threaded, that is, the weight is removed after the tension correction is completed, and the fiber-outlet end of the guide optical fiber is passed through the pay-out correction pendulum needle 31 and the winding traction wheel group in sequence, that is, after passing through the transition wheel 32, the tension wheel 33, the length recording wheel 34 and the traction wheel 35, it is tightly attached to the take-up roller baffle 52 of the take-up roller 53 and the end is tightened.

[0073] Specifically, the end of the fiber outlet end of the guide optical fiber is fixed on the take-up roller baffle 52 , and starts winding in close contact with the take-up roller baffle 52 of the take-up roller 53 .

[0074] Step S4: adjusting the starting position of the traction wheel 35 of the take-up and arrangement mechanism 3 to align with the take-up roller 53, manually controlling the take-up roller 53 of the take-up mechanism 5 to rotate, and winding the first circle of guide optical fiber.

[0075] Step S5: Set various winding parameters and start the automatic winding process. The pay-off mechanism 1, the pay-off and arranging mechanism 2, the take-up and arranging mechanism 3, the fixing mechanism 4 and the take-up mechanism 5 cooperate to evenly wind the guide optical fiber layer on the surface of the take-up roller 53 to obtain a guide optical fiber coil.

[0076] Specifically, click to enter the automatic operation interface of the operation display unit 7, set the length value of the take-up roller 53, the diameter of the guide optical fiber, the winding speed, the tension value and its tension PID control parameters, and also set the various parameters of all motors, the initial winding direction, and turn on automatic compensation to start automatic winding.

[0077] See Figure 7 As shown, the automatic winding process is specifically as follows:

[0078] Step S51: When the guided optical fiber is paid out, the up and down floating of the tension wheel 33 causes the tension sensor 39 to generate a corresponding signal. The control box 6 controls the pay-out spindle motor 13 to rotate according to the received signal, drives the original optical fiber group 11 to rotate, and starts to pay out at a variable speed to stably reach near the set constant tension value.

[0079] Specifically, if the tension in the guide fiber is too high, the tension pulley 33 will reach its limit. The tension sensor 37, sensing this change, will trigger an alarm and cause an emergency stop, preventing the guide fiber from breaking due to excessive tension. By incorporating tension control into the take-up and arrangement mechanism 3, the gaps between each layer of the guide fiber are uniform, and the tension is appropriate and consistent. The movement accuracy of the take-up and arrangement mechanism 3 can be set in the system parameters on the operation display unit 7 to accommodate guide fibers of varying diameters.

[0080] Step S52: During the pay-off process, the control box 6 detects the swing signal of the pay-off correction pendulum 31 according to the pay-off position sensor 37, and controls the pay-off and arranging motor 25 to drive the original optical fiber group 11 on the pay-off and arranging movable platform 21 to move, that is, to move in the direction of the guided optical fiber output on the pay-off and arranging base 22.

[0081] Specifically, since the optical fibers of the original optical fiber group 11 are irregularly wound, when the original optical fiber group 11 is paid out, the guide optical fiber will sometimes span left and sometimes right when it comes out, and the guide optical fiber is prone to sudden changes in tension, resulting in excessive fluctuations in the tension of the guide optical fiber. Therefore, the guide optical fiber is first passed through the pay-out correction pendulum 31. The left and right swing of the guide optical fiber causes the pay-out correction pendulum 31 to swing, thereby causing the signal of the pay-out position sensor 37 to change, which is fed back to the control box 6. The control box 6 controls the original optical fiber group 11 to move on the pay-out and wiring base 22 in the direction of the guide optical fiber coming out to offset the tension fluctuation.

[0082] Step S53: When winding the wire, the PLC control box 6 automatically controls the winding spindle motor 54 to rotate, driving the winding roller 53 with threaded markings to rotate and wind the wire;

[0083] Step S54: During the wire-reeling process, the wire-reeling motor 319 rotates at a constant speed according to the set parameters, driving the wire-reeling screw 312 to move, so that the wire-reeling frame 314 can move from left to right on the wire-reeling base 313, adjusting the position of the winding wheel assembly to achieve lateral traction of the guide optical fiber;

[0084] Specifically, when the wire-taking and arranging frame 314 moves to the position of the third limit sensor 317 or the fourth limit sensor 318 , the wire-taking and arranging mechanism 3 stops moving.

[0085] Step S55: The traction wheel 35 of the take-up and arrangement mechanism 3 pulls the guide optical fiber in the left and right directions, winding it around the take-up roller 53 of the take-up mechanism 5 at a uniform speed. The length of the guide optical fiber on the take-up roller 53 is calculated based on the data fed back by the length recording wheel 34.

[0086] Step S56: After the winding reaches the set length, the winding device stops, the first layer of winding is completed, the wire-taking and arranging mechanism 3 will move in the reverse direction, the traction wheel 35 will pull the guide optical fiber from right to left, and start reverse winding of the second layer, and so on to achieve multi-layer reciprocating automatic winding.

Any other changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, and simplifications that do not deviate from the spirit and principles of the present invention should be considered as equivalent replacement methods and are included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
