Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of optical fiber winding technology, and in particular to an automatic optical fiber winding system. Background Technology

[0002] Fiber lasers are lasers that use rare-earth-doped glass fibers as the gain medium. Because of their advantages such as good beam quality, compact structure, low thermal efficiency and high power density, they are widely used in laser fiber communication, industrial manufacturing, medical instruments and equipment, military defense and security and other fields.

[0003] Currently, medium- and high-power fiber lasers typically employ water cooling for heat dissipation. Existing fiber laser cooling systems require the fiber to be coiled within fiber grooves on a water-cooling plate. The fiber groove paths are varied (e.g., circular, racetrack-shaped), and the bending radius of the fiber changes continuously during the coiling process. Heat generated by the fiber is transferred to the water-cooling plate via thermal conduction, and then the cooling water circulates and removes the heat.

[0004] Currently, most fiber optic cable winding operations are performed manually, which leads to problems such as low efficiency and poor reliability. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, the present invention provides an automatic optical fiber winding system that can automatically wind optical fibers according to different optical fiber groove paths, ensuring the consistency and accuracy of optical fiber winding, and greatly improving production efficiency and product performance.

The guide plate is slidably connected to the mounting plate and includes two guide grooves at an included angle. The cutting device includes a first cutting element and a second cutting element that are slidably connected to the mounting plate and disposed opposite to each other. The mounting plate forms an area between the first cutting element and the second cutting element for optical fiber to pass through. The fiber-cutting driving device is connected to the guide plate so that when the guide plate moves, the first cutting element and the second cutting element slide correspondingly into one of the guide grooves, thereby driving the first cutting element and the second cutting element to move closer to or further away from each other.

[0012] In one embodiment of the present invention, the sliding direction of the first cutting member and the second cutting member on the mounting plate is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the guide plate. The guide plate has a symmetrical structure, including a plate body and two plate arms that extend symmetrically outward along the length direction of the plate body. The two plate arms respectively form the guide grooves. The two guide grooves are symmetrically arranged and are in an expanded state along the direction away from the plate body.

[0013] In one embodiment of the present invention, a cylinder seat, a limiting cylinder, and a fiber threading seat are further provided between the first cutting member and the second cutting member. The cylinder seat includes a cylinder body and a relief seat connected to the top of the cylinder body. The fiber threading seat is connected to the top of the relief seat.

[0017] This invention simplifies and facilitates fiber optic cable insertion through the design of the guiding components and cable-threading blocks. The floating pressure bar provides a floating effect when it abuts against the fiber, preventing excessive pressure and damage during the pressing process. This acts as a buffer during winding, protecting the fiber from damage and improving winding quality. The floating pressure bar and limiting cylinder reduce stress and bending of the fiber during the pressing process, thereby improving the quality and efficiency of fiber optic cable winding.

[0018] This invention automatically cuts optical fibers using a fiber-cutting mechanism, reducing the need for manual operation and improving the overall efficiency of fiber winding. Through the design of the guide groove, cutting blade, and related components, it can be adapted to various optical fiber specifications. Attached Figure Description

[0046] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly defined, the terms "setting," "installing," and "connecting" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integrally formed connection; a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a connection capable of mutual communication; or the internal connection of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0047] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, an automatic fiber optic winding system of the present invention includes: The fiber optic release mechanism 100 is used to release the optical fibers in the fiber optic reels 1-51. The fiber guiding drive mechanism 200 includes a fiber guiding X-axis linear module 220 and a fiber guiding Z-axis linear module 240 slidably connected to the fiber guiding X-axis linear module 220; The fiber guiding mechanism 300 includes a mounting frame 3-1 slidably connected to the fiber guiding Z-axis linear module 240, a fiber guiding frame 3-2 and a fiber pressing device 3-3 respectively mounted on the mounting frame 3-1. The fiber guiding frame 3-2 includes at least one guide component 3-22 located above the fiber pressing device 3-3. The fiber pressing device 3-3 includes a frame 3-31, a fiber guiding Z-axis rotary motor 3-5 connected to the frame 3-31, and a floating pressure rod 3-32 and a limiting cylinder 3-33 respectively mounted on the frame 3-31. The floating pressure rod 3-32 can float axially after being subjected to axial force at its bottom end. The limiting cylinder 3-33 has an axial channel for optical fibers to pass through. The water-cooled plate positioning mechanism 500 includes a tooling Z-axis rotary motor 5-2, a rotary plate 5-3 connected to the drive end of the tooling Z-axis rotary motor 5-2, a tooling Y-axis linear module 5-4 mounted on the rotary plate 5-3, a tooling X-axis linear module 5-5 slidably connected to the tooling Y-axis linear module 5-4, and a positioning plate 5-6 slidably connected to the tooling X-axis linear module 5-5 and used to place the water-cooled plate 800. The optical fiber released through the optical fiber disk 1-51 passes sequentially through the guide component 3-22 and the limiting cylinder 3-33, and is then pressed into the optical fiber groove 810 of the water-cooled plate 800 by the floating pressure rod 3-32.

[0048] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 4As shown, a working platform 5-1, a support frame 210, and a support column 230 are provided. The support frame 210 is installed on the working platform 5-1, and the tooling Z-axis rotary motor 5-2 is installed on the working platform 5-1. The fiber guiding X-axis linear module 220 is disposed on the support frame 210. The support column 230 is slidably connected to the fiber guiding X-axis linear module 220. The fiber guiding Z-axis linear module 240 is connected to the support column 230. The fiber release mechanism is connected to the support column 230 and is located above the fiber guiding device.

[0049] Through the coordinated action of various drive modules, the optical fiber can be automatically arranged in the slot of the water-cooled plate 800 of the fiber laser, adapting to different optical fiber grooves 810 track paths on the water-cooled plate 800. This ensures that the optical fiber is wound into the optical fiber trays 1-51 without any damage or scratches, and without damaging the coating layer.

[0050] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 5 As shown, the fiber optic release mechanism 100 includes a fiber-laying bracket 1-52, a fiber-laying motor 1-53 connected to the fiber-laying bracket 1-52, and a drive rod 1-54 connected to the output end of the fiber-laying motor 1-53 and passing through the center of the fiber optic disk 1-51. The drive rod 1-54 is horizontally arranged. The fiber optic release mechanism also includes a fiber optic disk 1-51 adjustment mechanism connected to the top of the support column 230 and used to rotate the fiber optic disk 1-51 around the Z-axis. The fiber optic disk 1-51 adjustment mechanism includes a fiber optic disk Z-axis rotation motor 1-55, a drive belt 1-56, and a drive shaft 1-57. The output shaft of the fiber optic disk Z-axis rotation motor 1-55 is connected to the drive shaft 1-57 through the drive belt 1-56. The drive shaft 1-57 is connected to the fiber-laying bracket 1-52.

[0051] With the above settings, the fiber optic release mechanism can release the fiber stably and evenly, and flexibly adjust the release direction, avoiding the pulling and tangling problems that may occur during the fiber release process.

[0052] The fiber guiding mechanism 300 includes a fiber guiding Z-axis linear module 240 and a fiber guiding X-axis linear module 220, which allow the fiber guiding device to move along two dimensions. The fiber guiding Z-axis rotary motor 3-5 enables the fiber guiding device to rotate to adapt to various groove paths, increasing its adaptability to different cooling plates.

[0053] The rotation drive shaft of the fiber guide Z-axis rotary motor 3-5 is connected to the frame 3-31 and coaxially arranged with the floating pressure rod 3-32, which facilitates the adjustment of the fiber guide direction when the fiber is coiled.

[0054] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 6 , Figure 7As shown, the guiding component 3-22 includes a connecting rod 3-21 mounted on the mounting bracket 3-1, a first mounting block 3-23 sleeved on the connecting rod 3-21, and a wire hook 3-24 connected to the first mounting block 3-23; the guiding component 3-22 also includes a second mounting block 3-25 sleeved on the connecting rod 3-21 and a wire-passing block 3-26 connected to the second mounting block 3-25, the wire-passing block 3-26 including two hinged and openable half blocks, forming a through hole 3-27 for optical fiber to pass through after the two half blocks are closed.

[0055] Depending on the specific height of the fiber optic tray, one or more first mounting blocks 3-23 can be installed on the upper and lower sides of the cable threading block 3-26. The design of the guide component 3-22 and the cable threading block 3-26 makes fiber optic cable threading simpler and more convenient. At the same time, the position of the guide component 3-22 can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0056] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 8 As shown, the floating pressure rod 3-32 includes a rod seat 3-321, a rod body 3-322, a spring 3-323, and an abutment joint 3-324. The upper end of the rod body 3-322 is connected to the bottom end of the rod seat 3-321. The spring 3-323 is sleeved on the rod body 3-322, and its upper and lower ends respectively abut against the bottom end of the rod seat 3-321 and the upper end of the abutment joint 3-324. (Refer to...) Figure 10 As shown, the abutment 3-324 includes a tapered body 3-324a at its bottom end, and a limiting groove 3-324b for accommodating optical fibers is formed radially at the bottom end of the tapered body 3-324a.

[0057] Since the optical fiber is guided to the limiting cylinder 3-33 by the guiding component 3-22, and after passing through the limiting cylinder 3-33, it needs to pass radially through the lower end of the floating pressure rod 3-32. Therefore, in order to reduce the stress and bending of the optical fiber, the limiting cylinder 3-33 is inclined to the floating pressure rod 3-32, which allows the optical fiber to enter the required optical fiber groove 810 through the lower end of the floating pressure rod 3-32 with a smaller bending degree.

[0058] Reference Figure 8As shown, the mounting bracket 3-1 includes a mounting surface. The floating pressure rod 3-32 and the connecting rod 3-21 are both perpendicular to the mounting surface of the mounting bracket 3-1. The bottom end of the rod seat 3-321 has a stepped hole 3-321b, and the upper end of the abutment 3-324 has a receiving hole 3-324c. The upper end of the rod body 3-322 extends into the stepped hole 3-321b and is threadedly connected to the stepped hole 3-321b. The upper end of the spring 3-323 abuts against the step of the stepped hole 3-321b. The lower ends of the rod body 3-322 and the lower ends of the spring 3-323 respectively extend into the receiving hole 3-324c. A spring mounting seat 3-325 is provided between the lower end of the spring 3-323 and the bottom wall of the receiving hole 3-324c.

[0059] The floating pressure bar 3-32 design prevents excessive pressure from being applied to the optical fiber during the crimping process, thus providing a certain degree of protection and reducing breakage and damage during fiber installation, while also improving the accuracy of fiber guidance. The limiting groove 3-324b can also contact the optical fiber during the winding process and clean the fiber, ensuring its cleanliness.

[0060] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 9 As shown, the rod base 3-321 is cylindrical, the frame 3-31 is provided with a height adjustment hole 3-31a, and the rod base 3-321 is provided with a height adjustment groove 3-321a corresponding to the height adjustment hole 3-31a.

[0061] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 6 As shown, the mounting bracket 3-1 is also equipped with a laser rangefinder 600 and a visual positioning camera 700. The laser rangefinder 600 can measure the surface height of the water-cooled plate, thereby adjusting the distance from the floating pressure rod 3-32 to the surface of the water-cooled plate 800. This enables precise positioning during fiber optic processing, ensuring the fiber is fully pressed into the groove and guaranteeing high-quality processing results. The visual positioning camera 700, which can be a CCD camera, can identify the MRAK points on the surface of the water-cooled plate 800. By using the position of the MRAK points, the position of the water-cooled plate 800 can be adjusted to the required position (the starting point of the floating pressure rod 3-32) via various axes, enabling continuous batch processing. The visual positioning camera 700 also improves winding accuracy during the fiber winding process.

[0062] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 13As shown, in order to automatically cut the optical fiber after winding, reducing the need for manual operation and improving the overall efficiency of the winding operation, a fiber cutting mechanism 400 is provided on the shaft of the limiting cylinder 3-33. The fiber cutting mechanism 400 includes a mounting plate 4-1, on which a guide plate 4-2, a cutting device 4-3, and a fiber cutting drive device 4-4 are provided. The guide plate 4-2 is slidably connected to the mounting plate 4-1, and the guide plate 4-2 includes two guide grooves 4-23 at an included angle. The cutting device 4-3 includes components slidably connected to the mounting plate. The mounting plate 4-1 has a first cutting element 4-31 and a second cutting element 4-32 arranged opposite to each other. The mounting plate 4-1 forms an area between the first cutting element 4-31 and the second cutting element 4-32 for optical fibers to pass through. The fiber breaking drive device 4-4 is connected to the guide plate 4-2 so that when the guide plate 4-2 moves, the first cutting element 4-31 and the second cutting element 4-32 slide in a guide groove 4-23 respectively, so as to drive the first cutting element 4-31 and the second cutting element 4-32 to move closer or further apart from each other.

[0063] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 14 , Figure 15 As shown, the sliding direction of the first cutting member 4-31 and the second cutting member 4-32 on the mounting plate 4-1 is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the guide plate 4-2. The guide plate 4-2 has a symmetrical structure, including a plate body 4-21 and two plate arms 4-22 extending symmetrically outward along the length of the plate body 4-21. The two plate arms 4-22 respectively form the guide grooves 4-23. The two guide grooves 4-23 are symmetrically arranged and are expanded in the direction away from the plate body 4-21. The guide grooves 4-23 can be oblong.

[0076] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 3 As shown, the optical fiber groove 810 track path of the water-cooled plate 800 is a circular loop.

[0077] The water-cooled plate positioning mechanism 500, by setting up a tooling Z-axis rotary motor 5-2, a tooling Y-axis linear module 5-4, a tooling X-axis linear module 5-5, and a rotating plate 5-3, enables the fiber optic cable insertion position to be more flexible and varied, meeting the winding requirements of different track paths of the water-cooled plate 800 and improving winding efficiency and quality.

[0078] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 21 , Figure 22 As shown, the tooling Y-axis linear module 5-4 includes a first lead screw assembly 5-41 mounted on the rotating plate 5-3.

[0079] The rotating plate 5-3 is provided with two parallel first horizontal linear guide rails 5-42 on both sides of the first lead screw assembly 5-41. The first horizontal linear guide rails 5-42 are slidably connected to a first horizontal linear slider 5-46. The first horizontal linear slider 5-46 is connected to a horizontal slide plate 5-43. The tooling X-axis linear module 5-5 includes a second lead screw assembly 5-51 installed on the horizontal slide plate 5-43.

[0080] The horizontal slide plate 5-43 is provided with two parallel second horizontal linear guide rails 5-52 on both sides of the second lead screw assembly 5-51. The second horizontal linear guide rails 5-52 are slidably connected to a second horizontal linear slider 5-53 that is connected to the bottom end of the positioning plate 5-6.

This arrangement ensures precise position control and guarantees the positional accuracy of the horizontal slide plate 5-43 and the positioning plate 5-6.

[0082] The above settings enable the entire moving mechanism to operate smoothly, avoiding any impact on the quality of fiber optic winding due to mechanical vibration or uneven movement.

[0083] During operation, the operator places the water-cooled plate 800 on the positioning plate 5-6 and secures it in place using the clamping assembly 5-613. The first positioning surface 5-611 and the second positioning surface 5-612 ensure the positioning of the water-cooled plate 800 in two vertical directions. Simultaneously, the fiber optic tray 1-51 is placed on the fiber release bracket 1-52 of the fiber release mechanism. The Z-axis rotary motor 5-2 of the fixture is started, causing the rotating plate 5-3 to rotate to the required angle. At the same time, the Y-axis linear module 5-4 and the X-axis linear module 5-5 of the fixture are used to move the positioning plate 5-6 horizontally. The position of the fiber pressing device 3-3 is adjusted simultaneously by the fiber guiding X-axis linear module 220, the fiber guiding Z-axis linear module 240, and the fiber guiding Z-axis rotary motor 3-5 until the fiber pressing device 3-3 and the water-cooled plate 800 are in the appropriate positions. Before starting the winding, the head of the fiber is first attached to the fiber groove 810 of the water-cooled plate 800 with tape. During the fiber guiding process, the fiber release motor 1-53 is activated to release the optical fiber. After the optical fiber is released from the fiber release tray, it is first initially guided and its path is adjusted by the guide component 3-22. Then, the optical fiber passes through the channel set in the limiting cylinder 3-33 and exits through the limiting cylinder 3-33. It is then pressed into the optical fiber groove 810 on the water-cooled plate 800 by the floating pressure rod 3-32. By controlling the movement of the water-cooled plate 800, the optical fiber can be wound into the optical fiber groove 810 of the water-cooled plate 800. During the winding process, the laser rangefinder 600 and the visual positioning system can identify the optical fiber groove 810 with different track paths, and in conjunction with various drive modules, continuously adjust the pressing position until the winding is completed. After the optical fiber is wound, the fiber cutting drive device 4-4 (drive cylinder) drives the guide plate 4-2 to slide along the mounting plate 4-1, and at the same time pulls the two plate arms 4-22, so that the first cutting piece 4-31 (circular cutting blade 4-311) and the second cutting piece 4-32 (stage body) connected to the plate arm 4-22 slide along the guide groove 4-23. The first cutting piece 4-31 and the second cutting piece 4-32 move closer to each other, and the circular cutting blade 4-311 cooperates with the arc-shaped cutting stage 4-321 to realize the rapid and accurate cutting of the optical fiber passing through it.
