Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of auxiliary tooling technology for close-packed fiber optic bundles, and more specifically, to an auxiliary tooling for a multi-layered, integrally close-packed fiber optic bundle. Background Technology

[0002] Optical fiber is a type of fiber made of glass or plastic that can be used as a light transmission tool. In order to achieve the convergence and integration of multiple laser energies, multiple optical fibers need to be bundled together. The existing method is to directly bind the fiber bundle with ferrules. However, after binding, there are gaps between multiple optical fibers, which can easily lead to some fibers having greater compressive force while others have less pressure. This greatly reduces practicality and makes it impossible to bundle according to a specific number. If the binding limit is exceeded, the compressive force can easily cause breakage. If the binding limit is not exceeded, the fibers will become loose. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this invention is to provide an auxiliary tooling for multilayer integral close-packing of optical fiber bundles.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an auxiliary tooling for multilayer integral close-packed optical fiber bundles, comprising a base, a guide assembly mounted on the top of the base, a lifting assembly slidably connected to the top of the guide assembly, a winding assembly mounted on the top of the lifting assembly, and a storage assembly mounted on the top of the winding assembly.

[0005] The present invention is further configured such that: the guide assembly includes a support plate, the support plates are symmetrically installed, two support plates are respectively installed on the top of the base, two guide rods are installed on the opposite side of the two support plates, two springs are installed on the top of the base and between the two guide rods, and the lifting assembly is installed on the top of the springs.

[0006] The present invention is further configured such that: the lifting assembly includes a sleeve, the sleeve is in two sets, the two sets of sleeves are respectively slidably connected to the outer side wall of the guide rod, a connecting plate is installed on one side of the sleeve, a hinge rod is hinged to the top of the connecting plate, and a bearing plate is hinged to the top of the hinge rod.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that: a support frame is installed on one side of the base, and a slide rail is provided on one side of the support frame; the slide rail is divided into a vertical track and an S-shaped track; a sliding rod is connected to the side of the bearing plate near the support frame, and the sliding rod is slidably connected inside the S-shaped track.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that: the winding assembly includes a winding belt, the winding belt has a hollow cavity, the winding belt is located on the top of the support plate, a square rod is installed on one side of the winding belt, a guide rail is installed on the side wall of the support plate, a motor is slidably connected to one side of the guide rail, and the output end of the motor passes through the interior of the guide rail and is connected to the square rod.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that: a T-shaped groove is provided on the side of the square rod near the take-up belt, and a T-shaped block is installed on the side of the take-up belt near the square rod, and the T-shaped block is inserted into the T-shaped groove and slidably connected.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that: a top plate is provided on the top of the bearing plate, and a limiting rod is connected to the side of the top plate near the support frame. The limiting rod is inserted into the sliding rod and is located in the vertical track.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that: the top of the take-up tape is uniformly provided with V-shaped grooves, the bottom of the top plate is uniformly provided with trapezoidal blocks, the trapezoidal blocks correspond to the V-shaped grooves, and the included angle of the V-shaped grooves is consistent with the inclination angle of the trapezoidal blocks; the top of the take-up tape is uniformly provided with glue outlet holes, and the glue outlet holes are located between the two V-shaped grooves.

[0012] The invention is further configured such that: the storage assembly includes a storage rod, the storage rod is installed on the top of the top plate, and a sleeve is fitted on the outer side wall of the storage rod.

[0013] The advantages of this invention are,

[0014] (1) By setting up a lifting component and a winding component, the lifting component and the winding component work together to disperse the optical fiber and avoid the optical fiber from overlapping. The dispersed optical fiber is wound up by the winding component, thereby binding the optical fiber into an optical fiber bundle. This avoids the situation where the optical fiber is damaged due to the large pressure on some parts when the optical fiber is directly wound up, and greatly improves the functionality of the auxiliary tooling.

[0015] (2) By setting V-grooves and trapezoidal blocks, the dispersed optical fibers correspond one-to-one with multiple V-grooves, and the excess optical fibers are removed. This method can limit the number of optical fibers, avoiding the situation where there are too many optical fibers and the squeezing pressure is too large, or there are too few optical fibers and they are loose, which greatly improves the auxiliary effect of the auxiliary tooling.

[0016] (3) The top plate drives the trapezoidal block to be inserted into the V-groove. The inner wall of the V-groove and the winding tape are squeezed, causing the coating adhesive in the winding tape to be discharged through the adhesive outlet and flow into the V-groove, thereby fixing the optical fiber. After the optical fiber is bound, the space between two adjacent optical fibers is filled by the winding tape 44 and the coating adhesive, which greatly improves the binding stability of the optical fiber bundle.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-6 The present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0028] The auxiliary tooling for multi-layer integral close packing of fiber bundles in this embodiment includes a base 1, a guide component 2 installed on the top of the base 1, a lifting component 3 slidably connected to the top of the guide component 2, a winding component 4 installed on the top of the lifting component 3, and a storage component 5 installed on the top of the winding component 4. The guide component 2 is used to guide the lifting component 3, the lifting component 3 is used to drive the winding component 4 and the storage component 5 to move up and down, and the lifting component 3 and the winding component 4 cooperate to disperse the optical fibers to avoid fiber overlap. After being dispersed and positioned, the optical fibers are wound up by the winding component 4, thereby binding the optical fibers into an optical fiber bundle. The storage component 5 consists of two parts, one part of which is used to bind the optical fibers.

[0029] The guide assembly 2 includes a support plate 21, which is symmetrically installed. The two support plates 21 are respectively installed on the top of the base 1. Two guide rods 22 are installed on the opposite side of the two support plates 21. Two springs 23 are installed on the top of the base 1 and between the two guide rods 22. The lifting assembly 3 is installed on the top of the springs 23. The support plate 21 and the two guide rods 22 cooperate to guide the lifting assembly 3, and the springs 23 are used to support the lifting assembly 3.

[0030] The lifting assembly 3 includes a sleeve 31, which consists of two sets. The two sets of sleeves 31 are slidably connected to the outer side wall of the guide rod 22. A connecting plate 32 is installed on one side of the sleeve 31. A hinge rod 33 is hinged to the top of the connecting plate 32. A bearing plate 34 is hinged to the top of the hinge rod 33. The two sets of sleeves 31 slide on the outer side wall of the two guide rods 22, causing the two connecting plates 32 to move. The two connecting plates 32 drive the bottom ends of the two hinge rods 33 to separate or move closer to each other, causing the two connecting plates 32 to swing up or down. The two connecting plates 32 are adjusted to a horizontal state or an upward tilting state. When the two connecting plates 32 adjust the angle, they drive the bearing plate 34 to move up and down to adjust the height.

[0031] A support frame 35 is installed on one side of the base 1. A slide rail 36 is provided on one side of the support frame 35. The slide rail 36 is divided into a vertical track and an S-shaped track. A sliding rod 38 is connected to the side of the bearing plate 34 near the support frame 35. The sliding rod 38 is slidably connected inside the S-shaped track. When the bearing plate 34 moves up and down, the sliding rod 38 slides in the S-shaped track of the slide rail 36, causing the bearing plate 34 to swing left and right during the up and down movement.

[0032] The winding assembly 4 includes a winding tape 44 with a hollow cavity inside. Fiber-coated adhesive is injected into the hollow cavity. The winding tape 44 is located on top of the support plate 34. A square rod 43 is mounted on one side of the winding tape 44. A guide rail 42 is mounted on the side wall of the support plate 34. A motor 41 is slidably connected to one side of the guide rail 42. The output end of the motor 41 passes through the interior of the guide rail 42 and is connected to the square rod 43. The winding tape 44 is used to support the fiber, and the motor 41 is used to drive the square rod 43 to rotate. When the square rod 43 rotates, it drives the winding tape 44 and the fiber to wind up. As the square rod 43 continuously winds up the winding tape 44, the distance between the bottom of the square rod 43 and the support plate 34 increases. At this time, the square rod 43 drives the motor 41 to slide on the guide rail 42, avoiding the situation where the square rod 43 cannot adjust its position and thus cannot wind up the winding tape 44.

[0033] A T-shaped groove 45 is provided on the side of the square rod 43 near the take-up belt 44. A T-shaped block 46 is installed on the side of the take-up belt 44 near the square rod 43. The T-shaped block 46 is inserted into the T-shaped groove 45 and slidably connected. The square rod 43 is connected to one end of the take-up belt 44 through the cooperation of the T-shaped block 46 and the T-shaped groove 45. After the take-up belt 44 is wound up, the square rod 43 and the take-up belt 44 are disengaged through the cooperation of the T-shaped block 46 and the T-shaped groove 45.

[0034] A top plate 49 is provided on the top of the bearing plate 34. A limit rod 37 is connected to the side of the top plate 49 near the support frame 35. The limit rod 37 is inserted into the sliding rod 38 and is located in the vertical track. When the top plate 49 moves up and down, the top plate 49 drives the limit rod 37 to slide in the vertical track of the slide rail 36, thereby guiding the top plate 49. When the limit rod 37 slides into the S-shaped track, the top plate 49 moves up and down while swinging left and right.

[0035] The top of the take-up tape 44 is uniformly provided with V-shaped grooves 48, and the bottom of the top plate 49 is uniformly provided with trapezoidal blocks 491. The trapezoidal blocks 491 correspond to the V-shaped grooves 48, and the included angle of the V-shaped grooves 48 is consistent with the inclination angle of the trapezoidal blocks 491. The top of the take-up tape 44 is uniformly provided with glue outlet holes 47, which are located between the two V-shaped grooves 48. When the optical fiber is placed on the top of the take-up tape 44, the bottom of the top plate 49 is attached to the surface of the optical fiber, thereby squeezing the optical fiber, the take-up tape 44 and the carrier plate 34. When the top plate 49 continuously squeezes the carrier plate 34, the top plate 49 and the carrier plate 34 swing left and right in opposite directions, causing the optical fiber to be dispersed on the surface of the take-up tape 44. Each optical fiber corresponds to one V-shaped groove 48. This method limits the number of optical fibers and disperses each optical fiber, avoiding the situation where multiple optical fibers squeeze each other and cause damage.

[0036] When the optical fibers are dispersed in multiple V-grooves 48, the top plate 49 drives the trapezoidal block 491 to be inserted into the V-grooves 48. The take-up tape 44 is squeezed, causing the coating adhesive in the take-up tape 44 to be discharged through the adhesive outlet 47 and flow into the V-grooves 48, thereby fixing the optical fibers. After the optical fibers are bound, the space between two adjacent optical fibers is filled by the take-up tape 44 and the coating adhesive.

[0037] The storage assembly 5 includes a storage rod 51, which is installed on the top of the top plate 49. A bundle sleeve 52 is fitted on the outer wall of the storage rod 51. When multiple optical fibers are bound, the bundle sleeve 52 fitted on the outside of the storage rod 51 is removed and fitted onto the outer wall of the optical fiber bundle to strengthen the binding of the optical fiber bundle.

[0038] Specifically, the operator places the take-up tape 44 on top of the support plate 34, and connects the take-up tape 44 and the square rod 43 through the cooperation of the T-block 46 and the T-slot 45. Multiple optical fibers are placed on top of the take-up tape 44. At this time, the top plate 49 is pressed down and moved. The bottom surface of the top plate 49 is attached to the multiple optical fibers and the take-up tape 44. The downward movement of the take-up tape 44 causes the support plate 34 to move down and squeeze the spring 23. At the same time, the downward movement of the support plate 34 pushes the top ends of the two hinge rods 33 to move down. The two hinge rods 33 tilt and swing downward, causing the bottom ends of the two hinge rods 33 to move away from each other. The bottom ends of the two hinge rods 33 push the two sets of sleeves 31 to slide on the outer wall of the guide rod 22, thereby guiding the lifting assembly 3.

[0039] When moving up and down, the top plate 49 drives the limiting rod 37 to slide within the vertical track of the slide rail 36, thereby guiding the top plate 49. When the limiting rod 37 slides into the S-shaped track, the top plate 49 moves up and down while swinging left and right.

[0040] When the top plate 49 and the bearing plate 34 move up and down, the top plate 49 drives the limiting rod 37 to slide in the vertical track of the slide rail 36, thereby guiding the top plate 49. At this time, the bearing plate 34 drives the sliding rod 38 to slide in the S-shaped track of the slide rail 36, causing the bearing plate 34 to swing left and right during the up and down movement.

[0041] When the limiting rod 37 slides into the S-shaped track, the top plate 49 and the bearing plate 34 move in opposite directions to each other. The trapezoidal block 491 continuously displaces and misaligns on the surface of the V-groove 48, causing the optical fiber to be dispersed on the surface of the take-up tape 44. Each optical fiber corresponds to one V-groove 48. This method limits the number of optical fibers and disperses each optical fiber, avoiding the situation where multiple optical fibers are squeezed together and damaged.

[0042] When the optical fibers are dispersed in multiple V-grooves 48, the top plate 49 drives the trapezoidal block 491 to be inserted into the V-grooves 48. The take-up tape 44 is squeezed, causing the coating adhesive in the take-up tape 44 to be discharged through the adhesive outlet 47 and flow into the V-grooves 48, thereby fixing the optical fibers. After the optical fibers are bound, the space between two adjacent optical fibers is filled by the take-up tape 44 and the coating adhesive.

[0043] Motor 41 is used to drive the square rod 43 to rotate. When the square rod 43 rotates, it drives the take-up tape 44 and optical fiber to be wound up. As the square rod 43 continuously winds up the take-up tape 44, the distance between the bottom of the square rod 43 and the support plate 34 increases. At this time, the square rod 43 drives the motor 41 to slide on the guide rail 42 to avoid the situation where the square rod 43 cannot be adjusted in position, resulting in the inability to wind up the take-up tape 44.

[0044] After multiple optical fibers are wound up and bound, the bundle sleeve 52 on the outside of the storage rod 51 is removed and placed on the outer wall of the optical fiber bundle to strengthen the binding of the optical fiber bundle.
