Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of optical cable manufacturing equipment technology, and in particular to an optical cable sheath layer window stripper. Background Technology

[0002] An optical fiber cable is a communication cable assembly that uses one or more optical fibers placed in a sheath as a transmission medium and can be used individually or in groups.

[0003] During the installation, maintenance, and fault detection of optical cables, it is usually necessary to vertically strip a window from the cable's sheath to facilitate the removal of the optical fibers inside. Currently, cable strippers on the market are limited to stripping the optical cable sheath in half, which cannot meet the requirements. When a window needs to be opened, a blade is usually used for stripping. However, it is difficult to control the depth of the blade when cutting into the optical cable, which can easily damage the optical fibers inside and also injure the hand, posing a safety risk.

[0004] Currently, the strippers used to create windows on optical cables are usually small in size to improve portability. During use, one hand needs to hold the optical cable to limit its movement, while the other hand applies pressure to the cutter head and slides it to cut the cable. During this process, the optical cable is very easy to slide to both sides, which affects the stability of window stripping. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To improve the problem of poor window stripping stability caused by easy slippage during optical cable stripping in existing technologies.

[0006] The optical cable sheath layer window stripper provided in this application adopts the following solution:

[0007] A fiber optic cable sheath window stripper, comprising:

[0008] The support base has an arc-shaped positioning groove for supporting the optical cable;

[0009] A limiting component is provided on the bearing seat to clamp and limit the optical cable on the arc-shaped positioning groove;

[0010] A sliding frame is installed on the support base and spans across the arc-shaped positioning groove;

[0011] The tool holder is horizontally slidably mounted on the sliding frame, and the tool holder has a downwardly inclined slide rail inside;

[0012] A blade is slidably mounted in the slide rail of the blade holder. The blade has a cutting edge that is inclined downward toward the arc-shaped positioning groove. The cutting edge is used to extend out of the slide rail and cut into the optical cable sheath layer. The blade holder slides horizontally to drive the blade to peel the optical cable sheath layer out of the window.

[0013] By adopting the above solution, the optical cable is clamped and limited by an arc-shaped positioning groove and a limiting component. The blade holder slides to drive the blade to cut open the sheath layer at the top of the optical cable, creating a stripping window. In traditional strippers, to improve portability, when inspecting the stripping window of the optical cable, one hand needs to hold and limit the optical cable, while the other hand applies pressure to the blade head and slides it to cut the cable. The optical cable is very prone to sliding to both sides, affecting the stripping accuracy. In the technical solution of this application, the arc-shaped positioning groove initially supports and positions the optical cable, the limiting component clamps and limits the optical cable, and the blade holder drives the blade to automatically cut and slide to strip, thereby achieving stable limiting during the optical cable stripping process, effectively preventing the optical cable from slipping, and ensuring stripping stability and accuracy.

[0014] Optionally, the limiting component includes a limiting screw, a first limiting seat, and a second limiting seat. The limiting screw is rotatably and horizontally mounted in the bearing seat. The first limiting seat and the second limiting seat are threaded onto the limiting screw with opposite rotation directions. The first limiting seat and the second limiting seat are respectively located on both sides of the arc-shaped positioning groove. The limiting screw is used to drive the first limiting seat and the second limiting seat to move closer to each other to clamp and limit the optical cable.

[0015] By adopting the above scheme, both the first and second limiting seats are threadedly connected to a bidirectional lead screw. Rotation of the bidirectional lead screw drives the first and second limiting seats to move closer or further apart. In some technical solutions, the first and second limiting seats are typically each driven by a driving component, and a control board controls the two driving components to clamp the optical cable. In the technical solution of this application, the first and second limiting seats can move closer or further apart simply by unidirectional rotation of the limiting lead screw, thereby achieving clamping, limiting, or releasing of the optical cable.

[0016] Optionally, the first limiting seat has a first abutting surface, and the second limiting seat has a second abutting surface. The first abutting surface and the second abutting surface are arranged opposite to each other, and anti-slip protrusions are provided on both the first abutting surface and the second abutting surface.

[0017] By adopting the above solution, anti-slip protrusions are provided on the first and second contact surfaces. In some technical solutions, the blade slides along the longitudinal direction of the optical cable after clamping it, which can easily cause the optical cable to slide, resulting in poor cutting effect. When the limiting component of this application clamps the optical cable, the anti-slip protrusions abut against the optical cable, further improving the clamping and limiting stability of the optical cable.

[0018] Optionally, a gripping part is recessed on each of the opposite sides of the support seat. The gripping part is recessed on the outer side wall of the support seat and is used by the user to grip the support seat.

[0019] By adopting the above solution, a gripping part is set on each of the opposite sides of the carrier. In actual working conditions, since the stripper is usually small in size, it is easy to carry it outdoors for fiber optic cable stripping and testing. Users can grip the gripping parts on both sides of the carrier with one hand to limit the carrier.

[0020] Optionally, a miniature probe is provided at the lower end of the blade holder. The miniature probe is arranged at an angle and faces the arc-shaped positioning groove. The miniature probe is used to detect whether the blade has cut through the sheath layer of the optical cable.

[0021] By adopting the above scheme, a miniature probe is installed to monitor the depth of the blade cutting the optical cable sheath layer in real time, preventing damage to the optical fiber inside the cable due to insufficient cutting or excessive cutting, thus ensuring the stripping accuracy.

[0022] Optionally, the tool holder includes a sliding seat and an adapter seat. The sliding seat is horizontally slidably mounted on the sliding frame, and the adapter seat is rotatably mounted on the sliding seat. The blade is slidably mounted on the adapter seat. The adapter seat rotates to adjust the pitch angle of the blade.

[0023] By adopting the above scheme, the blade is slidably mounted on the adapter, and the rotation of the adapter can adjust the blade's pitch angle. In actual working conditions, when the blade peels off the sheath layer, it first cuts into the sheath layer at an angle. Since the cut gap in the sheath layer is completely filled by the blade, it is impossible to monitor the cutting process visually. In the technical solution of this application, after the blade cuts into the sheath layer, the adapter rotates to tilt the blade upward, thereby widening the cut gap in the sheath layer. This allows the detection probe to perform image detection on the situation within the cut gap, ensuring the effectiveness.

[0024] Optionally, an adjusting cylinder is fixedly installed on the adapter, and the output shaft of the adjusting cylinder is fixedly connected to a plug-in seat. The plug-in seat is slidably installed in the slide rail, and the end of the blade opposite to the cutting edge is detachably plugged into the plug-in seat.

[0025] By adopting the above solution, the blade can be detachably plugged into the connector, which can be adapted to the cutting needs of various optical cables. In actual working conditions, different blades can be replaced to meet different optical cable stripping needs, and the adaptability is good.

[0026] Optionally, it also includes a clamping element, which includes an adjusting screw and a clamping plate. The adjusting screw abuts against the clamping plate and is threaded into the socket. The adjusting screw is tightened so that the clamping plate clamps and confines the blade within the socket.

[0027] By adopting the above solution, the clamping component includes an adjusting screw and a clamping plate. The adjusting screw, in conjunction with the clamping plate, clamps and limits the blade. Compared with the traditional technical solution, which uses an interference fit insertion method for the blade, the technical solution of this application can effectively ensure the connection stability between the blade and the insertion socket, thereby ensuring the installation stability of the blade.

[0028] Optionally, the lower end of the adapter has an arc-shaped guide surface, which is recessed above the opening of the lower end of the slide rail. The arc-shaped guide surface is used to bend and guide the stripped optical cable sheath layer upward.

[0029] By adopting the above scheme, an arc-shaped guide surface is provided, which causes the cut optical cable sheath layer to bend along the arc-shaped guide surface towards the blade, avoiding the impact on the subsequent stripping window of the blade and further improving the stability of optical cable stripping.

[0030] In summary, this application includes at least the following beneficial technical effects:

[0031] 1. The optical cable is clamped and limited by an arc-shaped positioning groove and a limiting component. The blade holder slides to drive the blade to cut open the sheath layer at the top of the optical cable, creating a stripping window. In traditional strippers, to improve portability, when inspecting the stripping window of the optical cable, one hand needs to hold and limit the optical cable, while the other hand applies pressure to the blade head and slides it to cut the cable. The optical cable is very prone to sliding to both sides, affecting the stripping accuracy. In the technical solution of this application, the arc-shaped positioning groove initially supports and positions the optical cable, the limiting component clamps and limits the optical cable, and the blade holder drives the blade to automatically cut and slide to strip, thereby achieving stable limiting during the optical cable stripping process, effectively preventing the optical cable from slipping, and ensuring the stability and accuracy of the stripping.

[0032] 2. Both the first and second limiting seats are threadedly connected to a bidirectional lead screw. Rotation of the bidirectional lead screw drives the first and second limiting seats to move closer or further apart. In some technical solutions, the first and second limiting seats are typically each connected to a driving component, and the two driving components are controlled by a control board to clamp the optical cable. In the technical solution of this application, the first and second limiting seats can move closer or further apart simply by unidirectional rotation of the limiting lead screw, thereby achieving clamping, limiting, or releasing of the optical cable.

[0033] 3. The blade is slidably mounted on the adapter, and the rotation of the adapter adjusts the blade's pitch angle. In actual operation, when the blade peels off the sheath layer, it initially cuts into the sheath layer at an angle. Because the cut gap in the sheath layer is completely filled by the blade, it is impossible to monitor the cutting process visually. In this technical solution, after the blade cuts into the sheath layer, the adapter rotates to tilt the blade upwards, thereby widening the cut gap in the sheath layer. This allows the detection probe to perform image detection of the situation within the cut gap, ensuring effectiveness. Attached Figure Description

[0050] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0051] This application discloses an optical cable sheath layer window stripper.

[0052] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A fiber optic cable sheath layer window stripper includes: a support base 1, a limiting member 2, a sliding frame 3, and a blade holder 4. The support base 1 has an arc-shaped positioning groove 11 for supporting the fiber optic cable. The limiting member 2 is disposed on the support base 1 to clamp and limit the fiber optic cable in the arc-shaped positioning groove 11. The sliding frame 3 is fixedly installed on the support base 1 and spans across the arc-shaped positioning groove 11. The blade holder 4 is horizontally slidably installed on the sliding frame 3. The blade holder 4 has a downwardly inclined slide rail 41. A blade 42 is slidably installed in the slide rail 41. The blade 42 has a downwardly inclined cutting edge 421 facing the arc-shaped positioning groove 11. The cutting edge 421 is used to extend out of the slide rail 41 and cut into the fiber optic cable sheath layer. The blade holder 4 slides horizontally, thereby driving the blade 42 to strip the fiber optic cable sheath layer out of the window.

[0053] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The arc-shaped positioning groove 11 has an installation axis along its length. The optical cable is supported in the arc-shaped positioning groove 11 along the installation axis. The length direction of the blade 421 is perpendicular to the installation axis. The blade holder 4 is slidably arranged parallel to the installation axis.

[0054] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3A limiting groove 12 is formed in the bearing seat 1 perpendicular to the installation axis of the arc-shaped positioning groove 11. The limiting groove 12 is arranged horizontally symmetrically about the installation axis and is located below the arc-shaped positioning groove 11. The limiting component 2 includes a limiting screw 21, a first limiting seat 22, a second limiting seat 23, and a drive motor 24 connected to a bidirectional screw drive. The drive motor 24 is fixedly installed on the bearing seat 1. The limiting screw 21 is rotatably installed horizontally in the bearing seat 1 along the length of the limiting groove 12. The first limiting seat 22 and the second limiting seat 23 are threaded onto the limiting screw 21 with opposite rotation directions. The first limiting seat 22 and the second limiting seat 23 are arranged symmetrically on both sides of the arc-shaped positioning groove 11 about the installation axis. The limiting screw 21 rotates to drive the first limiting seat 22 and the second limiting seat 23 to move closer to each other and clamp the limiting optical cable. It is worth mentioning that the height of the first limiting seat 22 and the second limiting seat 23 is slightly higher than the arc-shaped positioning groove 11, and the blade 421 is always positioned above the limiting member 2 when cutting the optical cable sheath layer, ensuring that the limiting member 2 avoids the stripping and cutting of the blade 421. The first limiting seat 22 has a first abutting surface 221, and the second limiting seat 23 has a second abutting surface 231. The first abutting surface 221 and the second abutting surface 231 are arranged opposite to each other, and both the first abutting surface 221 and the second abutting surface 231 are provided with anti-slip protrusions 25.

[0055] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 Each of the two sides of the support base 1, symmetrical about the installation axis, is provided with a gripping part 13. The gripping parts 13 are recessed on the outer side wall of the support base 1 and are used by the user to grip the support base 1. It is worth mentioning that in actual working conditions, the stripper is small in size and portable. The user can grip both gripping parts 13 with one hand at the same time and thread the optical cable through and support it on the arc-shaped positioning groove 11 to facilitate subsequent processing.

[0056] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3A lead screw motor 31 is mounted on the top of the sliding frame 3 along the mounting axis. The tool holder 4 is connected to the lead screw motor. The lead screw motor drives the tool holder 4 to slide along the mounting axis of the arc-shaped positioning groove 11. (Details omitted here.) Specifically, the tool holder 4 includes a sliding seat 43 and an adapter seat 44. The sliding seat 43 is connected to the lead screw motor and is horizontally mounted on the top of the sliding frame 3. The adapter seat 44 is rotatably mounted on the sliding seat 43, and the cutting tool 42 is slidably mounted on the adapter seat 44. Specifically, a rotary motor 45 is fixedly mounted on the sliding seat 43. The output shaft of the rotary motor 45 is arranged horizontally and perpendicular to the mounting axis of the arc-shaped positioning groove 11. The rotary motor 45 works to adjust the pitch angle of the rotary seat. In another embodiment, the sliding frame 3 is detachably installed on the support base 1 by means of a snap-fit. After the user supports the optical cable in the arc-shaped positioning groove 11, the sliding frame 3 is snap-fitted and installed, which facilitates the installation of the optical cable. This detachable snap-fit ​​method is not shown in the figure.

[0057] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The lower end of the blade holder 4 is located on the adapter 44 at one end facing the arc-shaped positioning groove 11, i.e., the lower end of the adapter 44. A miniature probe 46 is provided at the lower end of the adapter 44. The miniature probe 46 is located on the side of the blade 42 near the arc-shaped positioning groove 11. The miniature probe 46 is tilted and faces the arc-shaped positioning groove 11. The miniature probe 46 is used to detect whether the blade 421 has cut through the sheath layer of the optical cable. In actual operation, the carrier 1 is also equipped with a microcontroller (not shown in the figure) electrically connected to the miniature probe 46. The microcontroller can work with the miniature probe 46 to automatically monitor and control the extension and retraction of the blade 42 and the tilt angle of the adapter 44, thereby ensuring that the blade 421 cuts through the sheath layer of the optical cable while preventing the blade 421 from cutting and damaging the inner core of the optical cable. The microcontroller has a wireless communication module (not shown in the figure). The microcontroller connects to an external mobile smart terminal via this module to transmit data. Users can monitor the images observed by the miniature probe 46 in real time via a mobile app and adjust and control the operation of each drive component of the stripper, which will not be elaborated upon here. It is worth mentioning that after the blade 421 cuts into the optical cable sheath, the rotating motor 45 operates to slightly tilt the adapter 44 upwards. The blade 42 then opens the cut gap upwards, allowing the miniature probe 46 to observe the image inside the cut gap, ensuring that the blade 421 precisely cuts through the optical cable sheath without damaging the inner core.

[0058] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3The lower end of the adapter 44 also has an arc-shaped guide surface 441, which is located on the side of the blade 42 away from the arc-shaped positioning groove 11. Specifically, the slide 41 is opened inside the adapter 44, and the opening of the lower end of the slide 41 is located at the lower end of the adapter 44. The arc-shaped guide surface 441 is recessed above the opening of the lower end of the slide 41. The arc-shaped guide surface 441 is used to bend and guide the stripped optical cable sheath layer to the blade 42, so as to avoid the cut sheath layer interfering with subsequent cutting.

[0059] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 An adjusting cylinder 51 is fixedly installed on the adapter 44. The adjusting cylinder 51 is fixedly installed inside the adapter 44 on the side away from the opening of the slide 41. The output shaft of the adjusting cylinder 51 is fixedly connected to a plug seat 5, which is slidably installed in the slide 41. The plug seat 5 has a plug groove 52 facing the opening of the slide 41. One end of the blade 42 opposite to the blade edge 421 is detachably plugged into the plug groove 52 of the plug seat 5.

[0060] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 To stably install the blade 42 within the connector 5, a retaining member 6 is provided. The retaining member 6 includes an adjusting screw 61 and a retaining plate 62. The adjusting screw 61 abuts against the retaining plate 62 and is threaded into the connector 5. The adjusting screw 61 is tightened so that the retaining plate 62 retains the blade 42 within the connector 5. It is worth mentioning that the retaining plate 62 is non-detachably slidably installed within the connector groove 52, and the adapter 44 has a clearance groove 442 to avoid the adjusting screw 61. This clearance groove 442 extends along the length of the slide 41 and is connected to the slide 41, so that the adjusting screw 61 can pass from the outside of the adapter 44 to the connector 5 inside the slide 41. This will not be described in detail here.

[0061] The implementation principle of the optical cable sheath layer window stripper in this embodiment is as follows: the arc-shaped positioning groove 11 initially supports and positions the optical cable, and the limiting member 2 clamps and limits the optical cable; the blade holder 4 drives the blade 42 to tilt and extend into the optical cable sheath layer, and the sliding of the blade holder 4 drives the blade 42 to open the stripping window, thereby achieving stable limiting during the optical cable stripping process and effectively preventing the optical cable from slipping. At the same time, through the cooperation of the rotating seat and the miniature probe 46, the adapter seat 44 drives the blade 42 that cuts into the sheath layer to tilt upward, thereby widening the cutting gap so that the miniature probe 46 can perform real-time monitoring, thereby ensuring that the optical cable sheath layer is cut through precisely and ensuring the cutting effect.

[0062] The embodiments described in this specific implementation are preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Identical components are represented by the same reference numerals. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
