Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of optical fiber production, and particularly relates to a VAD mandrel bow calibration device. Background Art
[0002] Optical fiber is the abbreviation of optical fiber waveguide, which is a fiber made of glass or plastic and can be used as an optical conduction tool. The production of optical fiber requires a preform to be made at high temperature first, then heated and softened in a high-temperature furnace, drawn into filaments, and then coated and sheathed to form an optical fiber core wire. In the process of manufacturing the base material of the optical fiber preform, the VAD (Vapour Axial Deposition) process is considered the main technical means to reduce the production cost of the optical fiber preform base material due to many factors such as high deposition rate, relatively low requirement for raw material purity, and suitability for large-scale production.
[0003] In the prior art, due to sintering deposition during the production process of the VAD mandrel, there are situations of uneven density and unstable diameter. Although the diameter of the mandrel can be controlled and adjusted during the subsequent stretching process, the VAD mandrels with excessive bow need to be cut off. Therefore, the excessive bow caused by length and heat is likely to increase the cutting loss of the VAD mandrel. In order to reduce the cutting loss, the present application designs a VAD mandrel bow calibration device, which can calibrate the bow of the loss part that needs to be cut off due to unqualified bow, thereby reducing the cutting loss and improving the qualification rate of the VAD mandrel.

[0048] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the processing member 9 corresponds to the bar. The processing member 9 includes a transverse member 91 and an opening / closing member 92. The opening / closing member 92 is arranged on the transverse member 91. The transverse member 91 drives the opening / closing member 92 to slide above the workbench 2. The transverse member 91 includes a transverse rod 911 fixed in the operation room 1 and a transverse block 912 sliding on the transverse rod 911. The opening / closing member 92 is connected to the transverse block 912.

The lifting structure 512 adjusts the height of the support frame 511 and the support wheels 52 to ensure that both ends of the rod body are horizontal. The lifting structure 512 includes a lifting plate 5121 and a power member 5122. The lifting plate 5121 is arranged on the top of the power member 5122.

The adjustment frame 51 further includes an adjustment seat 513 that is clamped to the workbench 2. The bottom of the adjustment seat 513 extends inward on both sides with clamping edges 5131. The workbench 2 is provided with clamping grooves 21 corresponding to the clamping edges 5131. The adjustment seat 513 is arranged to slide horizontally to adapt to rod bodies of longer sizes.
[0051] As Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the calibration member 6 includes a calibration frame 61 and calibration wheels 62. There are multiple calibration frames 61, which are arranged in an array along the length direction of the workbench 2.

[0052] The calibration base 611 is arranged at the bottom of the calibration frame 61, and all the calibration frames 61 are installed inside the calibration base 611. The calibration frames 61 are arranged in an array on the calibration base 611 and are slidably arranged relative to the calibration base 611. The calibration base 611 includes a sliding base 612 and an adjusting rod 613 that is rotationally positioned and installed inside the sliding base 612. A sliding track 22 for the sliding base 612 to slide is provided on the workbench 2, and the sliding track 22 is arranged along the length direction of the workbench 2. The adjusting rod 613 is arranged along the length direction of the sliding base 612. One end of the adjusting rod 613 is provided with a rotating motor 614, and the rotating motor 614 is also fixed on the sliding base 612. The calibration frame 61 is sleeved on the adjusting rod 613 and is threadedly connected to the adjusting rod 613. The rotating motor 614 moves to control the mutual separation or approach between different calibration frames 61. The distance between the calibration frames 61 is equal during movement. Therefore, the distance between the calibration frames 61 can be adjusted by the rotating motor 614, so as to control the density detected by the calibration wheel 62, and further achieve the purpose of detecting the accuracy and precision of the camber. The closer the distance between the calibration bases 611, the higher the detection frequency of the corresponding points, and thus the higher the detection precision.
[0053] As Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, a moving member 63 is further arranged below the sliding base 612. The moving member 63 drives the sliding base 612 to slide laterally. The moving member 63 includes a driving motor 631, a connecting rod structure 632, and a driving plate 63231. The driving motor 631 is connected to the connecting rod structure 632 and drives the connecting rod structure 632 to rotate. A plurality of driving plates 63231 are vertically fixed at the top of the connecting rod structure 632. The driving plates 63231 are arranged in an array at the top of the connecting rod structure 632. A plurality of spacer plates 6121 that cooperate with the driving plates 63231 are arranged below the sliding base 612. The moving member 63 operates the calibration frames 61 with the same spacing to move a fixed distance. The distance between the spacer plates 6121 is the distance that the sliding base 612 moves each time the moving member 63 operates, and it can detect the rod body in a fixed direction and at a fixed distance, which can be increased or decreased according to requirements during actual operation.
[0054] The connecting rod structure 632 includes a fixed rod 6321, an intermediate rod 6322, and a linkage rod 6323. The fixed rod 6321 is fixed inside the workbench 2.

The bottom of the linkage rod 6323 is hinged to the intermediate rod 6322 and the top is fixed to the driving plate 63231. A plurality of driving plates 63231 are arranged in an array along the length direction at the top of the linkage rod 6323. A plurality of driving motors 631 corresponding to the intermediate rods 6322 are provided and drive the corresponding intermediate rods 6322 to rotate. The driving motors 631 are fixed on one side of the fixed rod 6321 and drive the intermediate rods 6322 to rotate.
[0055] Taking the example of driving the overall sliding base 612 to move to the right at the illustrated position, at this time, the driving plate 63231 abuts against the corresponding spacer plate 6121, and the driving plate 63231 is basically at the highest position. Then, the driving motor 631 rotates clockwise, driving the intermediate rod 6322 to rotate clockwise. As a result, the end point of the linkage rod 6323 draws a circle clockwise. The driving plate 63231 on the linkage rod 6323 first moves downward - leftward - upward - rightward, thereby pushing the previous (right - hand side) spacer plate 6121 to move to the right, achieving the purpose of the overall right - shift of the sliding base 612.
[0056] The working principle and usage method of this VAD mandrel bow calibration device: Select the corresponding stepped groove to clamp the rod according to the rod diameter, adjust the position of the support member 5 according to the rod length, and adjust the height of the rod end through the lifting structure 512; Control the distance between different calibration frames 61, move the calibration member 6 from left to right to mark the abnormal points on the rod and feedback signals to the control device 11. After marking, heat and soften the abnormal points through the heating member 81. When heating, cooperate with the infrared detection member 64 to detect the outer diameter of the rod to avoid excessive softening. After heating, continue to move to the next abnormal point until the overall bow reaches the optimal state.
