Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of optical fibers, in particular to a cleaning table for finished optical fiber rods. Background Art

[0002] Before existing finished optical fiber rods are drawn on the production line, they need to go through complex processes such as pickling and water washing to remove oil, dust, and other contaminants on the surface of the preform rods to provide protection for optical fiber production.

[0003] Finished optical fiber rods need to be washed again after being pickled in an acid-washing machine. Currently, this requires manual cleaning of each individual rod, which is inefficient. Therefore, Chinese patent CN218223725U discloses an optical fiber preform cleaning device that utilizes a cleaning chamber to perform both acid and water washing of optical fiber preform rods. However, this device can only wash the finished optical fiber rods by flowing water into the cleaning chamber, resulting in low water utilization. Chinese patent CN 218108587 U discloses an optical fiber preform washing device with water. This device uses a rod transport vehicle that enters the washing chamber and sprays the preform rods with a spray device. However, since the surface of the optical fiber preform rods is adhered to the acid liquid, the waste acid generated during the cleaning process of this device has a significant impact on the environment.
