[0036] This application provides an optical fiber clamping assembly and an optical fiber stripping device. These will be described in detail below.

[0037] First, this application provides an optical fiber clamping assembly.

[0038] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of one embodiment of the optical fiber stripping device provided in this application. Figure 5 As shown, the fiber stripping device 1 includes a fiber stripping assembly 10 and a fiber clamping assembly 30. The fiber clamping assembly 30 is used to clamp and fix the fiber 200 and drive the fiber 200 to move relative to the fiber stripping assembly 10. The fiber stripping assembly 10 is used to strip the coating layer of the fiber 200. Specifically, the fiber stripping assembly 10 is connected to the fiber 200 and allows the blade to cut into the outer surface of the fiber 200. When the fiber clamping assembly 30 drives the fiber 200 to move relative to the fiber stripping assembly 10, the fiber stripping assembly 10 can remove a portion of the coating layer from the surface of the fiber 200 using the blade.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the fiber clamping assembly 30 includes a clamping mechanism 31 and a moving mechanism 316. The clamping mechanism 31 is used to clamp and fix the fiber 200, and the moving mechanism 316 is used to drive the clamping mechanism 31 to rotate and move, so as to drive the fiber 200 to rotate and move together. The fiber stripping assembly 10 is located on one side of the fiber clamping assembly 30 along the moving direction of the clamping mechanism 31, so that when the moving mechanism 316 drives the clamping mechanism 31 to move, it can drive the fiber 200 to move relative to the fiber stripping assembly 10, so that the fiber stripping assembly 10 can strip a portion of the coating layer of the fiber 200.

[0040] Furthermore, it can also be achieved by using the cleaning component 20 (see...) Figure 5The opposite sides of the optical fiber 200 are clamped, and when the moving mechanism 316 drives the clamping mechanism 31 to move, the optical fiber 200 moves relative to the cleaning assembly 20, so that the cleaning assembly 20 cleans the surfaces of the two sides of the optical fiber 200. Then, the moving mechanism 316 can drive the clamping mechanism 31 to rotate to drive the optical fiber 200 to rotate, so as to change the surface of the optical fiber 200 in contact with the cleaning assembly 20 in the circumferential direction of the optical fiber 200, and then drive the clamping mechanism 31 to move by the moving mechanism 316 to clean other surfaces of the optical fiber 200.

[0041] It should be noted that the cleaning assembly 20 can be part of the optical fiber stripping device 1, or other components outside the optical fiber stripping device 1.

[0042] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 3 The clamping mechanism 31 includes a carrier 311, a pressing piece 313, and a first driving piece 314. The carrier 311 includes a first clamping surface 3120, and the first clamping surface 3120 is provided with a positioning groove 3121 for accommodating the optical fiber 200. By placing the optical fiber 200 in the positioning groove 3121, the optical fiber 200 can be distributed along the extension direction of the positioning groove 3121 to realize positioning of the optical fiber 200 on the first clamping surface 3120.

[0043] The pressing piece 313 includes a second clamping surface 3131, and the first driving piece 314 is connected with the carrier 311 and drives the pressing piece 313 to move relative to the carrier 311 to make the second clamping surface 3131 approach or move away from the first clamping surface 3120. Thus, by driving the pressing piece 313 to move relative to the carrier 311 by the first driving piece 314 to make the second clamping surface 3131 approach the first clamping surface 3120, the second clamping surface 3131 of the pressing piece 313 can be in abutment with the optical fiber 200, so that the first clamping surface 3120 and the second clamping surface 3131 clamp and fix the optical fiber 200, and the part of the optical fiber 200 located on the first clamping surface 3120 remains in the positioning groove 3121. By driving the pressing piece 313 to move relative to the carrier 311 by the first driving piece 314 to make the second clamping surface 3131 move away from the first clamping surface 3120, the second clamping surface 3131 of the pressing piece 313 can be separated from the optical fiber 200, so as to release the clamping and fixing of the optical fiber 200, and the optical fiber 200 can be taken out from the positioning groove 3121.

[0044] The moving mechanism 316 is connected with the carrier 311, and is used to drive the carrier 311 to move, and a moving direction of the carrier 311 extends along a length direction of the positioning groove 3121. Thus, when the moving mechanism 316 drives the carrier 311 to move, the optical fiber 200 can be driven to move along the length direction of the positioning groove 3121 relative to the optical fiber stripping assembly 10, and a moving direction of the optical fiber 200 remains substantially consistent with a length direction of the optical fiber 200, so that the optical fiber stripping assembly 10 can better strip a part of a coating layer of the optical fiber 200 without damaging the optical fiber 200.

[0045] The moving mechanism 316 is further used to drive the carrier 311 to rotate, and a rotation axis X of the carrier 311 extends along the length direction of the positioning groove 3121. Thus, when the moving mechanism 316 drives the carrier 311 to rotate around the rotation axis X, the optical fiber 200 can be driven to rotate around the rotation axis X, so as to change a surface of the optical fiber 200 in a circumferential direction which is in contact with the cleaning assembly 20, so that the cleaning assembly 20 can better clean the surface of the optical fiber 200.

[0046] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The optical fiber clamping assembly 30 further includes a locking mechanism 317 connected with the carrier 311, and the locking mechanism 317 is used to lock the coil 210 formed by winding the optical fiber 200. Since the optical fiber 200 has a relatively long length, when a part of the coating layer of the optical fiber 200 is stripped, other parts of the optical fiber 200 are wound to form the coil 210. The locking mechanism 317 is used to lock the coil 210, so that the coil 210 of the optical fiber 200 is prevented from being wound on the clamping mechanism 31 or other structures of the optical fiber stripping device 1 during the process that the clamping mechanism 31 drives the optical fiber 200 to move and rotate, and the normal work of the optical fiber stripping device 1 is not affected or the optical fiber 200 is not damaged.

[0047] The optical fiber clamping assembly 30 provided by the embodiment of the present application drives the pressing piece 313 to move relative to the carrier 311 by the first driving piece 314 of the clamping mechanism 31, so that the second clamping surface 3131 of the pressing piece 313 is close to or away from the first clamping surface 3120 of the carrier 311, and the positioning groove 3121 for accommodating the optical fiber 200 is arranged on the second clamping surface 3131. The second clamping surface 3131 of the pressing piece 313 is in abutment with the optical fiber 200 by driving the pressing piece 313 to move relative to the carrier 311 by the first driving piece 314, so that the first clamping surface 3120 and the second clamping surface 3131 clamp and fix the optical fiber 200, and a part of the optical fiber 200 located on the first clamping surface 3120 is kept in the positioning groove 3121.

[0048] Afterwards, the carrier 311 is driven to move by the moving mechanism 316, which can drive the optical fiber 200 to move along the length direction of the positioning groove 3121 relative to the optical fiber stripping assembly 10, and the moving direction of the optical fiber 200 is basically consistent with the length direction of the optical fiber 200, so that the optical fiber stripping assembly 10 can better strip a part of the coating layer of the optical fiber 200 without damaging the optical fiber 200.

[0049] The moving mechanism 316 also drives the carrier 311 to rotate around the rotation axis X, which can drive the optical fiber 200 to rotate around the rotation axis X, so as to change the surface of the optical fiber 200 in the circumferential direction which contacts the cleaning assembly 20, so that the cleaning assembly 20 can better clean the surface of the optical fiber 200.

[0050] Finally, the optical fiber clamping assembly 30 also locks the coil 210 of the optical fiber 200 formed by winding through the locking mechanism 317, which can avoid that the coil 210 of the optical fiber 200 is wound on the clamping mechanism 31 or other structures of the optical fiber stripping device 1 during the process that the clamping mechanism 31 drives the optical fiber 200 to move and rotate, which affects the normal work of the optical fiber stripping device 1 or damages the optical fiber 200, which can effectively improve the efficiency of the optical fiber stripping device 1 in stripping the coating layer of the optical fiber 200, and the coil 210 of the optical fiber 200 formed by winding will not interfere with the stripping work of the coating layer of the optical fiber 200.

[0051] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The locking mechanism 317 includes a locking rod 3171 and a second driving member 3172, and the carrier 311 includes a locking surface 3111. The second driving member 3172 is connected with the carrier 311, and the second driving member 3172 is connected with the locking rod 3171 and drives one end of the locking rod 3171 to approach or move away from the locking surface 3111, so that the one end of the locking rod 3171 abuts against or separates from the locking surface 3111. The second driving member 3172 can drive the locking rod 3171 to rotate or slide relative to the carrier 311, so that the one end of the locking rod 3171 approaches or moves away from the locking surface 3111.

[0052] The second driving member 3172 drives the one end of the locking rod 3171 to approach the locking surface 3111, so that the one end of the locking rod 3171 penetrates through the coil 210 of the optical fiber 200 and abuts against the locking surface 3111, thereby sleeving the coil 210 of the optical fiber 200 on the locking rod 3171 to achieve locking of the coil 210. After the stripping of the coating layer of the optical fiber 200 and the cleaning of the optical fiber 200 are completed, the second driving member 3172 can drive the one end of the locking rod 3171 to move away from the locking surface 3111, so that the one end of the locking rod 3171 separates from the locking surface 3111, thereby taking out the coil 210 of the optical fiber 200 from the gap between the one end of the locking rod 3171 and the locking surface 3111.

[0053] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 3 The bearing 311 includes a receiving groove 3110, and a locking surface 3111 is located in the receiving groove 3110. The receiving groove 3110 further includes an inner side surface 3112 opposite to the locking surface 3111, and the inner side surface 3112 is provided with a mounting hole 3113. A locking rod 3171 is slidingly installed in the mounting hole 3113, so that the locking rod 3171 is slidingly connected with the bearing 311. One end of the locking rod 3171 is located opposite to the locking surface 3111. When the second driving member 3172 drives the locking rod 3171 to slide in the mounting hole 3113, the one end of the locking rod 3171 is close to or away from the locking surface 3111. The locking surface 3111 and the inner side surface 3112 of the receiving groove 3110 can limit the coil 210 in the distribution direction of the locking surface 3111 and the inner side surface 3112, so as to further improve the locking effect on the coil 210 of the optical fiber 200.

[0054] The mounting hole 3113 extends to one side of the bearing 311 in the direction from the locking surface 3111 to the inner side surface 3112. The locking rod 3171 can be inserted into the mounting hole 3113 from the side of the locking hole away from the locking surface 3111. The second driving member 3172 is arranged on one side of the bearing 311 in the direction from the locking surface 3111 to the inner side surface 3112, and the other end of the locking rod 3171 is connected with the second driving member 3172, so as to drive the locking rod 3171 to slide in the mounting hole 3113 in the distribution direction of the inner side surface 3112 and the locking surface 3111. By arranging the second driving member 3172 on one side of the bearing 311 in the direction from the locking surface 3111 to the inner side surface 3112, the second driving member 3172 can be conveniently connected with the other end of the locking rod 3171 and drive the locking rod 3171 to slide in the mounting hole 3113.

[0055] In the embodiments of the present application, the second driving member 3172 can be any component capable of directly or indirectly driving the locking rod 3171 to move, such as a cylinder, a pipette, a lead screw, a motor, etc., which is not limited herein.

[0056] In some embodiments, the receiving groove 3110 on the bearing 311 extends through the bearing 311 in a first direction, and the distribution direction of the inner side surface 3112 and the locking surface 3111 forms an angle with the first direction. In this way, the coil 210 of the optical fiber 200 can pass through the bearing 311 in the first direction, so as to avoid that the size of the receiving groove 3110 is too small to accommodate the coil 210.

[0057] Specifically, the carrier 311 is in a rod shape. The first clamping surface 3120 is located at one end of the carrier 311, and the accommodation groove 3110 extends between the two ends of the carrier 311. A part of the optical fiber 200 is located at the first clamping surface 3120 of the carrier 311, and the coil 210 formed by winding the optical fiber 200 passes through the accommodation groove 3110 and is locked by the locking mechanism 317.

[0058] In some embodiments, the optical fiber clamping assembly 30 further comprises a first displacement detection assembly (not shown in the figure) for detecting the displacement of the locking rod 3171 so as to determine the position of the locking rod 3171. The first displacement detection assembly comprises a first sensor and a second sensor. The first sensor is triggered when the second driving member 3172 drives the locking rod 3171 to move to the position of abutting against the locking surface 3111, and the second sensor is triggered when the second driving member 3172 drives the locking rod 3171 to move a preset distance away from the locking surface 3111.

[0059] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 The pressing member 313 comprises an elastic part 3130, and the second clamping surface 3131 is formed on the elastic part 3130. It can be understood that when the first clamping surface 3120 of the carrier 311 and the second clamping surface 3131 of the pressing member 313 clamp the optical fiber 200, the second clamping surface 3131 is in elastic contact with the optical fiber 200 due to the elasticity of the elastic part 3130, thereby avoiding the problem that the pressing force applied by the second driving member 3172 to the optical fiber 200 through the pressing member 313 is too large to cause the optical fiber 200 to deform or be damaged.

[0060] The elastic part 3130 can be part of the pressing member 313 or detachably connected to the pressing member 313. The material of the elastic part 3130 can be rubber, silicone, sponge, etc., which is not limited here.

[0061] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 The pressing member 313 has a magnetic attraction part 3132, and the carrier 311 is provided with a magnetic attraction member 3129 for magnetic attraction with the magnetic attraction part 3132. In this way, when the first clamping surface 3120 of the carrier 311 and the second clamping surface 3131 of the pressing member 313 clamp the optical fiber 200, the magnetic attraction member 3129 provided on the carrier 311 can be magnetically attracted to the magnetic attraction part 3132 provided on the pressing member 313, so as to increase the clamping force of the first clamping surface 3120 and the second clamping surface 3131 on the optical fiber 200, thereby further improving the positioning effect on the optical fiber 200.

[0062] The magnetic attraction member 3129 can be a magnet or an electromagnet, and the magnetic attraction portion 3132 of the pressing member 313 can be iron or other magnetic material that can be attracted by the magnet or electromagnet. Of course, the magnetic attraction portion 3132 can also be a magnet or an electromagnet, and the magnetic attraction member 3129 can be iron or other magnetic material that can be attracted by the magnet or electromagnet.

[0063] In some embodiments, the pressing member 313 is rotationally connected to the carrier member 311, and the first driving member 314 is configured to drive the pressing member 313 to rotate relative to the carrier member 311, so that the second clamping surface 3131 of the pressing member 313 is close to or away from the first clamping surface 3120 of the carrier member 311. The rotation axis of the pressing member 313 relative to the carrier member 311 extends along the length direction of the positioning groove 3121.

[0064] Specifically, the first driving member 314 is connected to the pressing member 313 through a connecting rod structure 315. The first driving member 314 can be a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, a motor, or any other component capable of driving the pressing member 313 to rotate relative to the carrier member 311 through the connecting rod structure 315, which is not limited herein.

[0065] In some embodiments, the optical fiber clamping assembly 30 further comprises a first angle detection assembly (not shown in the figure) configured to directly or indirectly detect the rotation angle of the pressing member 313. Specifically, the first angle detection assembly comprises a third sensor and a fourth sensor. The third sensor is triggered when the first driving member 314 drives the pressing member 313 to rotate to a position where the second clamping surface 3131 and the first clamping surface 3120 clamp the optical fiber 200. The fourth sensor is triggered when the first driving member 314 drives the pressing member 313 to rotate, and the second clamping surface 3131 rotates a preset angle away from the first clamping surface 3120.

[0066] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The moving mechanism 316 comprises a mounting seat 3161, a third driving member 3162, a rack 3163, and a gear 3164. The carrier member 311 is rotationally mounted on the mounting seat 3161. The gear 3164 is connected to the carrier member 311. The rack 3163 is engaged with the gear 3164. The third driving member 3162 is arranged on the mounting seat 3161. The third driving member 3162 is connected to the rack 3163 and drives the rack 3163 to move, so as to drive the carrier member 311 to rotate through the gear 3164. The central axis of the gear 3164 can coincide with the rotation axis X of the carrier member 311, so that when the rack 3163 drives the gear 3164 to rotate, the carrier member 311 can be driven to rotate around the rotation axis X relative to the mounting seat 3161.

[0067] Specifically, the gear 3164 is located at the end of the carrier 311 away from the first clamping surface 3120. The rack 3163 is located below the gear 3164. The length direction of the rack 3163 is perpendicular to the rotation axis X of the carrier 311. The rack 3163 moves relative to the mounting base 3161 along the length direction to drive the gear 3164 to rotate. The third driving member 3162 can be any component capable of driving the rack 3163 to move relative to the mounting base 3161, such as a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, an electric motor, etc., which is not limited herein.

[0068] In some embodiments, the optical fiber clamping assembly 30 further comprises a second angle detection assembly (not shown in the figure) for directly or indirectly detecting the rotation angle of the carrier 311. Specifically, the second angle detection assembly comprises a fifth sensor and a sixth sensor, the fifth sensor is triggered when the third driving member 3162 drives the carrier 311 to rotate to a first angle through the rack 3163 and the gear 3164, and the sixth sensor is triggered when the third driving member 3162 drives the carrier 311 to rotate reversely to a second angle through the rack 3163 and the gear 3164.

[0069] Continuing to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the moving mechanism 316 further comprises a base 3165 and a fourth driving member 3166, the mounting base 3161 is in sliding connection with the base 3165, and the fourth driving member 3166 is connected with the mounting base 3161 to drive the mounting base 3161 to slide along the length direction of the positioning groove 3121, thereby driving the carrier 311 to slide synchronously. Wherein, the fourth driving member 3166 can be any component capable of driving the mounting base 3161 to slide, such as a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, an electric motor, etc., which is not limited herein.

[0070] In some embodiments, the optical fiber clamping assembly 30 further comprises a second displacement detection assembly (not shown in the figure) for detecting the position of the mounting base 3161. Specifically, the second displacement detection assembly comprises a seventh sensor and an eighth sensor, the seventh sensor is triggered when the fourth driving member 3166 drives the mounting base 3161 to slide to a preset position along the length direction of the positioning groove 3121, and the eighth sensor is triggered when the fourth driving member 3166 drives the mounting base 3161 to slide reversely to the preset position.

[0071] In some embodiments, as Figure 4As shown, the inner surface of the positioning groove 3121 is provided with an adsorption hole 3122, which is used to communicate with an adsorption pump (not shown in the figure). Thus, after the optical fiber 200 is placed in the positioning groove 3121, the adsorption pump can be used to apply negative pressure to the adsorption hole 3122, so that the adsorption hole 3122 adsorbs the optical fiber 200 to the inner surface of the positioning groove 3121, thereby preliminarily positioning the optical fiber 200, and avoiding the optical fiber 200 from being pulled out of the positioning groove 3121 before the second clamping surface 3131 of the pressing piece 313 abuts against the optical fiber 200.

[0072] In some embodiments, the optical fiber stripping device 1 further comprises an adsorption pump (not shown in the figure) which communicates with the adsorption hole 3122. The adsorption pump can be a vacuum pump, a fan or any component capable of applying negative pressure to the adsorption hole 3122. Of course, the adsorption pump can also be part of the optical fiber clamping assembly 30.

[0073] In some embodiments, the number of adsorption holes 3122 is multiple, and the multiple adsorption holes 3122 are sequentially distributed along the length direction of the positioning groove 3121. By sequentially distributing the multiple adsorption holes 3122 along the length direction of the positioning groove 3121, the optical fiber 200 can be better adsorbed and positioned, thereby further improving the positioning effect of the optical fiber 200.

[0074] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 12, Figure 3 and Figure 4 The carrier 311 is detachably connected with a clamping piece 312, and the first clamping surface 3120 is formed on the clamping piece 312. Thus, the positioning groove 3121 and the adsorption hole 3122 are also formed on the clamping piece 312. By machining the first clamping surface 3120, the positioning groove 3121 and the adsorption hole 3122 on the clamping piece 312, and then connecting the clamping piece 312 with the carrier 311, the machining of the positioning groove 3121 and the adsorption hole 3122 can be more convenient.

[0075] Among them, the carrier 311 is provided with a mounting groove 3114, and the clamping piece 312 is detachably mounted in the mounting groove 3114, so that the clamping piece 312 and the carrier 311 are stably connected together. Of course, the clamping piece 312 can also be detachably connected with the carrier 311 by buckle connection, screw connection or the like.

[0076] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 12, Figure 4 As shown, the clamping piece 312 is provided with a connecting hole 3123 which communicates with the adsorption hole 3122, and the connecting hole 3123 is used to communicate with the adsorption pump, so that the adsorption pump communicates with the adsorption hole 3122. When the number of adsorption holes 3122 is multiple, the connecting hole 3123 communicates with the multiple adsorption holes 3122, so that the adsorption pump communicates with the multiple adsorption holes 3122.

[0077] The through hole 3115 is formed through the clamping member 312, and the connecting hole 3123 is formed on the side of the clamping member 312 away from the positioning groove 3121 and is in communication with the adsorption hole 3122. The connecting hole 3123 is in position correspondence with the through hole 3115 and is used for communication with the adsorption pump. The connecting hole 3123 can be avoided through the through hole 3115, so that the connecting hole 3123 is in communication with the adsorption pump through the pipeline structure.

[0078] Specifically, the clamping member 312 is connected with a connecting head 3128 on the side away from the positioning groove 3121. The connecting head 3128 passes through the through hole 3115, one end of the connecting head 3128 is in communication with the connecting hole 3123, and the other end of the connecting head 3128 is used for communication with the adsorption pump, so as to communicate the adsorption pump with the adsorption hole 3122.

[0079] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 The adsorption cavity 3124 is formed in the clamping member 312 along the length direction of the positioning groove 3121. One end of the adsorption hole 3122 is in communication with the positioning groove 3121, and the other end of the adsorption hole 3122 is in communication with the adsorption cavity 3124. The connecting hole 3123 is in communication with the adsorption cavity 3124, so that the connecting hole 3123 is in communication with the adsorption hole 3122 through the adsorption cavity 3124. When the number of adsorption holes 3122 is multiple, the other ends of the multiple adsorption holes 3122 are respectively in communication with the adsorption cavity 3124, so that the connecting hole 3123 is in communication with the multiple adsorption holes 3122 through the adsorption cavity 3124.

[0080] The adsorption cavity 3124 is formed with an opening 3125 on one side of the clamping member 312 along the length direction of the positioning groove 3121, and the fiber clamping assembly 30 further comprises a plug 3127 arranged at the opening 3125 to seal the opening 3125. Thus, the adsorption cavity 3124 is formed on one side of the clamping member 312 along the length direction of the positioning groove 3121 by a drilling tool, which is very convenient to operate.

[0081] It should be noted that the adsorption cavity 3124 can be formed with the opening 3125 only on one side of the clamping member 312 along the length direction of the positioning groove 3121, or the adsorption cavity 3124 can be formed with the openings 3125 respectively on both sides of the clamping member 312 along the length direction of the positioning groove 3121, and the fiber clamping assembly 30 further comprises plugs 3127 respectively arranged at the two openings 3125 to seal the two openings 3125.

[0082] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the magnetic attraction member 3129 is arranged on the clamping member 312, so that the magnetic attraction member 3129 is magnetically attracted to the magnetic attraction part 3132 of the pressing member 313. A groove 3126 is formed on the first clamping surface 3120 of the clamping member 312, and the magnetic attraction member 3129 is arranged in the groove 3126, so that the connection between the magnetic attraction member 3129 and the clamping member 312 is more stable.

[0083] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the optical fiber clamping assembly 30 further comprises an air pressure detection component 318 for detecting the air pressure in the adsorption hole 3122, so that the operator can determine whether the adsorption hole 3122 effectively adsorbs the optical fiber 200 according to the air pressure value detected by the air pressure detection component 318. The air pressure detection component 318 can be in communication with the adsorption hole 3122, the adsorption cavity 3124, the adsorption port, etc., to detect the air pressure in the adsorption hole 3122.
