Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of optical cable manufacturing equipment, and more specifically to a micro-tension yarn winding device for optical fiber bundling. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, fiber optic cable products are structurally classified into stranded and central tube types. To increase the fiber density of optical cables, increasing the number of fiber cores within a single tube is the preferred solution. According to relevant industry standards, optical fibers are color-coded with 12 colors. Once the number of fiber cores in a tube exceeds 12, the 12-color fibers need to be bundled together and identified using a single fiber code to prevent communication accidents caused by incorrect splicing during cable connection and maintenance. Currently, the main forms of fiber bundles include fiber ribbons, yarn-wound fiber bundles, and microtube fiber bundles. Fiber ribbon fiber bundles require an additional resin bonding process during cable production, involving filling and curing resin between the fibers. Microtube fiber bundles are formed by extruding thin-walled tubes onto the outside of the fiber bundle. Both of these forms require additional matching production equipment, resulting in complex manufacturing processes, higher costs, and an increased overall outer diameter of the fiber bundle. A yarn-wrapped fiber bundle involves wrapping a colored yarn around a fiber bundle at a certain pitch. The fibers are bundled together by the yarn, and the color of the wrapped yarn can be used as an identifier for the fiber bundle. This has become the preferred solution for reducing the cost of fiber bundled optical cable products.
[0003] Since optical fibers are typically crystalline silicides protected by an outer resin coating, lateral pressure and bending can easily weaken their light transmission capacity or even cause breakage. Therefore, when directly bundling yarns onto an optical fiber bundle, the yarn tension must be very low and with minimal tension fluctuations. Furthermore, during subsequent plastic coating processing, the yarns on the optical fiber bundle must not accumulate. However, the existing high-speed spiral stranding bundling method for winding optical fiber bundles suffers from unstable tension control. Relying on the resistance of the yarn bobbin itself for tension control results in significant tension variations between full and shallow coils. When the tension is too high, it can easily damage the product, leading to a low yield rate. When the tension is too low, the optical fiber bundle becomes loose, affecting subsequent production processes and resulting in significant product quality risks. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a micro-tension yarn winding device for optical fiber bundling, which optimizes and improves the yarn spiral twisting and bundling equipment so that the optical fiber winding has a small tension fluctuation range under micro-tension environment, thereby improving the production efficiency and product qualification rate of optical fiber bundling.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
[0006] A micro-tension yarn winding device for optical fiber bundling includes an assembly support, a yarn bundle shaft, a yarn bundle shaft driving component, a yarn pot, and a yarn pot driving component.

[0033] The technical solution of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described through specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0034] Existing yarn winding devices, in practical use, often lead to yarn breakage due to the combined effects of mechanical inertia of rotating parts, bearing resistance of rotating shafts, the pagoda shape of the yarn bundle, and resistance along the yarn path, thus failing to guarantee the quality of the wound optical fiber bundle. To solve the yarn breakage problem, while ensuring that the winding pitch meets design requirements, the tension of the yarn wound onto the optical fiber bundle must be minimized. This ensures that the optical fiber bundle does not loosen and that the optical fiber is not subjected to lateral pressure from the yarn, which would increase optical transmission loss. In view of this, the present invention provides a micro-tension yarn winding device for optical fiber bundling.
[0035] See Figures 1-2 As shown, a micro-tension yarn winding device for optical fiber bundling can be installed as part of an optical fiber ribbon production line and an optical fiber secondary coating production line. It is used to wind polyester fiber yarn (such as sewing yarn) that meets the standard color requirements on the optical fiber bundle. It includes an assembly bracket 1, a yarn bundle shaft 2, a yarn bundle shaft driving component, a yarn pot 3, and a yarn pot driving component. The assembly bracket 1 is designed as a waist-shaped perforated plate to meet the installation requirements of the production line modification, without the need for additional floor-mounted brackets, thus saving installation space.
[0036] Both the yarn pot 3 and the yarn pot drive component are mounted on the assembly bracket 1 and are connected by a drive. Specifically, the yarn pot 3 is mounted on the assembly bracket 1 via a yarn pot bracket 25. The yarn pot drive component includes a yarn pot servo motor 4, a first synchronous belt 5, and a first motor bracket 6. The yarn pot servo motor 4 is mounted on the assembly bracket 1 via the first motor bracket 6, and its output end is connected to the yarn pot 3 via the first synchronous belt 5. The yarn bobbin 2 is coaxially mounted with the yarn pot 3, with one end located inside the yarn pot 3 and the other end located outside the yarn pot 3. The yarn bobbin 2 drive component is mounted on the assembly bracket 1 and is connected to the end of the yarn bobbin 2 located outside the yarn pot 3. Specifically, the yarn bobbin 2 drive component includes a yarn bobbin servo motor 7, a second synchronous belt 8, and a second motor bracket 9. The yarn bobbin servo motor 7 is mounted on the assembly bracket 1 via the second motor bracket 9, and its output end is connected to the end of the yarn bobbin 2 located outside the yarn pot 3 via the second synchronous belt 8. The above-mentioned yarn pot drive component and yarn bobbin 2 drive component can be adjusted and installed according to actual production needs.
[0037] The yarn bundle shaft 2 is located inside the yarn pot 3. A yarn bundle 10 is mounted on the shaft body, and a twisting mold 11 is fitted at the shaft end. The yarn bundle shaft 10 is a hollow shaft with a pass-through hole 13 along its axial direction for the optical fiber bundle 12 to pass through. The shaft body at the location where the yarn bundle 10 is installed is tapered, with a taper of 10° to 15°, ideally 10°, to ensure the stability of the yarn bundle 10. The axis of the yarn bundle 10 is coaxial with the optical fiber bundle 12. Compared to the existing yarn winding method where the yarn bundle 10 rotates around the optical fiber bundle 12 in a planetary manner, this device is more compact and easier to control.
[0038] A wire-passing hole 14 is coaxially formed at the center of the stranding mold 11, corresponding to the pass-through hole 13. The diameter of the wire-passing hole 14 is the sum of the envelope diameter of the fiber bundle 12 and 1.5 to 3 times the diameter of the yarn 15. It can be adjusted according to the actual number of optical fibers in the fiber bundle 12 so that the fiber bundle 12 and the yarn 15 on the fiber bundle 12 can pass through. In addition, a first yarn-passing hole 16 and a second yarn-passing hole 17 are respectively formed on the circumferential side wall of the yarn pot 3.
[0039] Example 1
[0040] See Figure 3 As shown, the fiber bundle 12 moves through the wire hole 14 and the bundle hole 13, with the direction of movement as shown in the figure. The yarn 15 is led out from the yarn ball 10 and passes through the first yarn hole 16 to the outside of the yarn pot 3, then along the outer wall of the yarn pot 3 to the second yarn hole 17 and into the inside of the yarn pot 3, where it is bundled onto the fiber bundle 12 at the twisting mold 11. In this embodiment, the function of the yarn pot 3 is to rotate the yarn 15; therefore, the positions of the first yarn hole 16 and the second yarn hole 17 can be adjusted according to actual conditions, and no specific requirements are made. Of course, it is better if the line connecting the centers of the two coincides with the axis of the yarn pot 3.
[0041] The yarn ball 10 and the yarn pot 3 can rotate coaxially in the same or opposite directions depending on the actual situation, wrapping the yarn 15 around the surface of the optical fiber bundle 12. In this embodiment, the yarn ball 10 and the yarn pot 3 rotate in the same direction and on the same axis. The yarn ball axis servo motor 7 drives the yarn ball axis 2 through the second synchronous belt 8 to control the direction and speed of the yarn ball 10 and the yarn 15. The yarn pot servo motor 4 drives the yarn pot 3 to rotate through the first synchronous belt 5 and controls the direction of the yarn pot 3. This device is controlled by a programmable controller to control the yarn pot servo motor 4 and the yarn ball axis servo motor 7, and can control and adjust the speed of the yarn pot servo motor 4 and the yarn ball axis servo motor 7 in real time according to the detected torque difference, so as to control the tension of the yarn 15 and the wrapping pitch of the yarn 15 on the optical fiber bundle 12. Under the condition that the speed of the fiber bundle 12 remains constant, the higher the speed at which the yarn ball 10 and the yarn pot 3 rotate in the same direction, the smaller the pitch of the yarn 15 wrapped around the fiber bundle 12. Similarly, the closer the speeds at which the yarn ball 10 and the yarn pot 3 rotate in the same direction, the smaller the tension of the yarn 15 wrapped around the fiber bundle 12.
[0042] Example 2
[0043] See Figures 4-5 As shown, the fiber bundle 12 moves through the wire hole 14 and the bundle hole 13, with the direction of movement as shown in the figure. The yarn 15 is drawn from the yarn ball 10 and directly pulled to the surface of the stranding mold 11, then adheres to the surface of the stranding mold 11 and is bundled onto the fiber bundle 12. When the yarn 15 passes through the stranding mold 11, friction acts on the yarn 15, and correspondingly, the yarn 15 has a certain tension when wrapped around the fiber bundle 12, which can constrain the fiber bundle 12. Simultaneously, the outer circumferential surface, end face, and inner wall of the wire hole 14 of the stranding mold 11 are all connected by arc transitions to form an arc surface 18, allowing the yarn 15 to both adhere to the surface of the stranding mold 11 and continuously be subjected to friction. The roughness of the arc surface 18 is 0.8–1.6 μm. The yarn bobbin servo motor 7 drives the yarn bobbin shaft 2 via the second synchronous belt 8 to control the direction and speed of the yarn bobbin 10 and the yarn 15, so that the yarn 15 is wrapped around the optical fiber bundle 12. At this time, the yarn pot 3 can effectively prevent the yarn 15 from being disturbed by external factors. The yarn pot 3 can be selected to rotate synchronously or not rotate, which is not required here.
[0044] Example 3
[0045] This embodiment adds a limiting mold 19 to the second embodiment. See also Figures 6-7As shown, a limiting mold 19 is coaxially sleeved on the shaft 2 located between the yarn bundle 10 and the stranding mold 11. The limiting mold 19 is annular in shape, and its inner diameter is larger than the outer diameter of the stranding mold 11. The inner surface of the limiting mold 19 is an arc surface 20 with a roughness of 0.8 to 1.6 μm. A connecting rod 21 is provided on the outer circumference of the limiting mold 19 and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the yarn pot 3. The yarn 15 is led out from the yarn bundle 10 and attached to the inner surface of the limiting mold 19 and the arc surface 18 on the stranding mold 11 before being bundled onto the optical fiber bundle 12. The limiting mold 19 is provided to prevent the yarn 15 from being thrown out under the centrifugal force of rotation, thereby reducing the friction between the yarn 15 and the stranding mold 11.
[0046] In this embodiment, the inner diameter of the limiting mold 19 is the sum of the outer diameter of the stranding mold 11 and 2 to 10 times the diameter of the yarn 15. The outer diameter and thickness are appropriate, and it is advisable that there is no conflict with the yarn bundle 10 after installation. The structure adopted in this embodiment significantly improves the friction and stability between the yarn 15 and the stranding mold 11, thereby ensuring the winding quality of the optical fiber bundle 12 and making the optical fibers more tightly packed.
[0047] Example 4
[0048] This embodiment adds a brush component to the second embodiment. See [link / reference] Figures 8-9 As shown, the yarn pot 3 is equipped with a brush, which acts at least on the portion of the yarn 15 located between the yarn bundle 10 and the surface of the stranding mold 11, forcing the yarn 15 to remain attached to the surface of the stranding mold 11. The yarn 15 is drawn from the yarn bundle 10, passes through the brush, and is then pulled and attached to the arcuate surface 18 of the stranding mold 11 before being bundled to the optical fiber bundle 12. The brush restricts the movement of the yarn 15 on the yarn bundle 10 and the stranding mold 11, resulting in greater and more stable friction on the surface of the stranding mold 11, thereby meeting the quality requirements for the yarn 15 winding around the optical fiber bundle 12.
[0049] The brush assembly includes bristles 22 and a handle. The handle is made of engineering plastic and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the yarn pot 3 by screws. Multiple bristles 22 are evenly arranged on the handle. The bristles 22 are made of nylon or polypropylene, with a single filament diameter of 0.1–0.5 mm and a length equal to the inner diameter of the yarn pot 3. After installation, the bristles 22 should ideally press against the surface of the yarn bundle 10 and the surface of the twisting mold 11. In this embodiment, a strip-shaped handle 23 is used. At least one strip-shaped handle 23 is evenly arranged along the circumference of the inner side of the yarn pot 3. The specific number of strip-shaped handles installed depends on the designed tension of the yarn 15. The more strip-shaped handles installed, the greater the tension of the yarn 15. The number of strip-shaped handles 23 can be one, two symmetrically arranged, or three to six evenly distributed along the circumference of the inner wall of the yarn pot 3.
[0050] The thickness of the strip brush handle 23 is 8-12mm, the width is 15-30mm, and the length is the same as the inner shaft length of the yarn pot 3. Multiple brush bristles 22 are evenly applied to the yarn 15 located on the yarn ball 10, between the yarn ball 10 and the surface of the twisting mold 11, and on the surface of the twisting mold 11.
[0051] Example 5
[0052] See Figures 10-11 As shown, this embodiment differs from Embodiment 4 in that the brush handle is an annular brush handle 24, while the rest of the structure is the same. The outer circumference of the annular brush handle 24 is equal to the inner circumference of the yarn pot 3. The thickness of the annular brush handle 22 is 8-12 mm, and the shaft length is 30-60 mm. Multiple brushes 22 are applied evenly to the yarn 15 located between the yarn ball 10 and the surface of the twisting mold 11, as well as on the surface of the twisting mold 11. If it is necessary to increase the tension of the yarn 15, one or two additional brushes can be added at the positions corresponding to the yarn ball 10, so that multiple brushes 22 are applied evenly to the yarn 15 located on the yarn ball 10, between the yarn ball 10 and the surface of the twisting mold 11, and on the surface of the twisting mold 11.
