The clamping assembly can clamp the second section of the optical fiber, and the first clamping member can clamp the first section of the optical fiber. Compared with the method of manually bonding optical fibers in related technologies, the elastic force of the elastic member can be used to automatically straighten the optical fiber.

[0013] As a further solution of the present invention: the depth dimension of the arc groove based on the shell is greater than the depth dimension of the transverse groove based on the shell; when the guide column is located in the arc groove, it can drive the splint relatively close to the base, and when the guide column is located in the transverse groove, it can drive the splint relatively away from the base.

[0014] As a further solution of the present invention: a support assembly for supporting the guide roller and corresponding to the position of the belt is arranged below the shell; when the guide column moves with the belt and contacts the support assembly, it can drive the support assembly to descend synchronously.

[0035] Embodiment 1:

[0036] See also Figures 1 to 5 The embodiment of the present invention provides an optical fiber bonding device, which is adapted for use with a conveyor belt module 9, and is mainly used to improve the bonding efficiency between an optical fiber body 10 and a substrate and realize overall systematization at the same time. The device includes a shell 1 and a glue dispensing mechanism (not shown in the figure) arranged on the shell 1. A pulling component 3 for moving the optical fiber body 10 is arranged on the front side of the shell 1. A control component 2 for driving the pulling component 3 to move is arranged on the surface of the shell 1. A guide groove 4 movably fitted with the pulling component 3 is opened on the front side of the shell 1. A guide roller 5 corresponding to the position of the pulling component 3 is also arranged on the front side of the shell 1. The guide roller 5 is used to bypass the optical fiber body 10.

[0037] When the control component 2 is started, it cooperates with the guide groove 4 to drive the pulling component 3 to clamp the optical fiber body 10 on the guide roller 5, and then move upward to avoid the substrate on the conveyor belt module 9, and then move to the right to make the optical fiber body 10 hang just above the substrate. Finally, the pulling component 3 drives the optical fiber body 10 to descend and contact the substrate. At this time, the glue dispensing mechanism works to make the optical fiber body 10 bonded to the substrate.

[0038] In the above structure, the housing 1 can be fixedly connected to the conveyor belt module 9, and the length direction of the substrate is parallel to the length direction of the housing 1, that is, the length direction of the substrate is perpendicular to the moving direction of the conveyor belt module 9. Figure 1 The length direction of the substrate is left-right, and the conveyor belt module 9 transports the substrate back and forth.

[0039] At the same time, the material pulling component 3, the guide groove 4 and the control component 2 can also be arranged oppositely based on the housing 1, and their movement process is the same. It should be noted that the substrate, the dispensing mechanism and the conveyor belt module 9 are all existing mature technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0040] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, preferably: the material pulling assembly 3 includes a clamping plate 302 and a base 301 that is slidably matched with the housing 1. There is a certain distance between the base 301 and the clamping plate 302, so that the optical fiber body 10 can enter. When the base 301 and the clamping plate 302 are closed, the effective position limiting of the optical fiber body 10 can be achieved. A guide column 303 that penetrates the base 301 and the control assembly 2 and is movably fitted with the guide groove 4 is rotatably installed on the surface of the clamping plate 302. A first spring 304 is fixedly installed between the clamping plate 302 and the base 301. Under the action of the first spring 304, the clamping plate 302 has a tendency to approach the base 301.

[0041] In this embodiment, most of the area of ​​the first spring 304 falls inside the base 301, that is, the front surface of the base 301 is provided with a deep groove for the first spring 304 to be placed. This design can prevent the clamping plate 302 from deflecting left and right relative to the base 301, and can also ensure the clamping effect of the optical fiber body 10.

[0042] In the above structure, since the base 301 can move in the up and down directions and the left and right directions under the action of the control component 2, the rear surface of the base 301 is slidably installed with a support block 305 that slides with the shell 1 in the up and down directions, and the support block 305 slides with the shell 1 in the left and right directions to achieve overall movement.

[0043] It should be noted that the base 301 and the clamping plate 302 are roughly flush with the upper surface of the conveyor belt module 9. At the same time, the outlet direction of the optical fiber body 10 after passing through the guide roller 5 is slightly higher than the upper surface of the conveyor belt module 9. As long as it can enter between the base 301 and the clamping plate 302, whether it is outlet from the top or bottom of the guide roller 5 is not limited here; thereby, the optical fiber body 10 can better fit with the substrate after the base 301 and the clamping plate 302 descend.

[0044] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3In this embodiment, preferably: the control assembly 2 includes two pulleys 201 that are rotatably matched with the housing 1, and a belt 203 is sleeved between the two pulleys 201 for the guide column 303 to pass through. When the pulley 201 drives the belt 203 to move, the guide column 303 can be driven to move synchronously, thereby making the base 301 and the clamping plate 302 have a motion trajectory with the same shape as the belt 203. In order to realize the driving of the pulleys 201, a motor 202 fixedly connected to one of the pulleys 201 is fixedly installed on the housing 1.

[0045] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, preferably, the guide groove 4 includes an arc groove 401 and a transverse groove 402 (the transverse groove 402 is a shaded portion) opened on the front side of the housing 1, the arc groove 401 and the transverse groove 402 are connected and an inclined guide is provided at the intersection, and the arc groove 401 and the transverse groove 402 together form a ring. The overall size of the guide groove 4 is adapted to the belt 203, and the guide post 303 can move in the guide groove 4.

[0046] In the above structure, the arc groove 401 is greater than the transverse groove 402 based on the depth dimension of the housing 1, and the transverse groove 402 is located directly below the arc groove 401, so that when the guide post 303 moves to the arc groove 401, the guide post 303 can drive the clamping plate 302 to approach the base 301, thereby clamping the optical fiber body 10. When the guide post 303 moves to the transverse groove 402, the clamping plate 302 can be driven relatively away from the base 301, and the optical fiber body 10 can enter between the base 301 and the clamping plate 302.

[0047] The transverse groove 402 corresponds to the movement of the guide post 303 from the lower right to the lower left, and the arc groove 401 corresponds to the movement of the guide post 303 from the lower left to the upper left, then from the upper left to the right to the upper right, and then from the upper right to the lower right.

[0048] When in use, the optical fiber body 10 passes through the guide roller 5 and enters between the base 301 and the clamping plate 302. At this time, the guide column 303 is located in the horizontal groove 402 and reaches the lower left position. Then the motor 202 starts to drive the belt 203 to move through the pulley 201, so that the guide column 303 moves from the lower left to the upper left and then to the upper right. In this process, the guide column 303 enters the arc groove 401 so that the clamping plate 302 and the base 301 are closed to clamp the optical fiber body 10, and pull the optical fiber body 10 to move upward and then horizontally to the right; at the same time, the conveyor belt module 9 drives the substrate to be located directly below the optical fiber body 10 (base 301 and clamping plate 302). Then the guide column 303 moves from the upper right to the lower right along the arc groove 401, so that the optical fiber body 10 falls on the base. At this time, the glue dispensing mechanism can start the glue dispensing to complete the bonding of the substrate and the optical fiber body 10.

[0049] After bonding is completed, the guide post 303 enters the transverse groove 402 along the right side of the arc groove 401 to release the limit on the movable end of the optical fiber body 10. At this time, the conveyor module 9 can drive the substrate and the bonded optical fiber body 10 to move, and then the guide post 303 can drive the base 301 and the clamping plate 302 to move to the lower left along the transverse groove 402 to prepare to clamp the next optical fiber body 10. Here, the guide post 303 may also enter the transverse groove 402 after entering the lower right, that is, the limit on the optical fiber body 10 has been released during the glue dispensing bonding process.

[0050] It should be noted that the optical fiber body 10 can be manually loaded through the guide roller 5, or it can be automatically discharged by a reeling mechanism. There is no need to provide power for the reeling mechanism to rotate, because the optical fiber body 10 can be clamped after the base 301 and the clamping plate 302 are closed, and the optical fiber body 10 can also be pulled to move.

[0051] Furthermore, when used with the unwinding mechanism, a wire cutting mechanism can be installed at the position corresponding to the guide roller 5, and the fiber body 10 can be automatically cut by the wire cutting mechanism to facilitate the subsequent approach of the base 301 and the clamping plate 302 and complete the clamping of the fiber body 10. Here, the unwinding mechanism and the wire cutting mechanism are both existing mature technologies and will not be described in detail.

[0052] In summary, through the coordination of the guide column 303, the guide groove 4, the clamping plate 302 and the base 301, the optical fiber body 10 can be clamped and driven to move accordingly, so that the optical fiber body 10 has an approximately inverted U-shaped moving trajectory, which can provide movement time for the conveyor belt module 9 to load the substrate, so that the base 301, the clamping plate 302 and the optical fiber body 10 can avoid the substrate and reasonably utilize the moving process, effectively improving the overall work efficiency. After the movement, the active end of the optical fiber body 10 is driven down by the base 301 and the clamping plate 302. Because the base 301 is flush with the upper surface of the conveyor belt module 9, the optical fiber body 10 can be lowered to fit the substrate, thereby ensuring the quality of subsequent glue bonding. This device does not need to equip each optical fiber body 10 with a bracket and move it to correspond to the substrate. The overall operation is achieved by loading and unloading the substrate assembly line, so that the equipment is systematically improved in continuity, and the working cost is correspondingly reduced, and the practicality is higher.

[0053] Embodiment 2:

[0054] See also Figures 1 to 8On the basis of the first embodiment, in order to make the optical fiber body 10 and the substrate bonded in a straightened state, the installation of the guide roller 5 is improved: a support assembly 6 for rotating and installing the guide roller 5 is provided below the housing 1, and the support assembly 6 and the housing 1 are slidably matched up and down and correspond to the position of the belt 203. When the guide post 303 moves from the upper right to the lower right with the belt 203, the guide post 303 can also drive the support assembly 6 to drop synchronously so that the guide roller 5 also drops accordingly, so that the right and left sides of the optical fiber body 10 drop synchronously, and finally the optical fiber body 10 can be straightened and better bonded to the substrate.

[0055] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 In this embodiment, preferably: the support assembly 6 includes a cantilever 601 that is slidably matched with the housing 1, the guide roller 5 is rotatably mounted on the front surface of the cantilever 601, and a boss 602 corresponding to the right side of the belt 203 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the cantilever 601 away from the guide roller 5. When the guide column 303 contacts the boss 602, the boss 602 can be driven to descend. In order to achieve the reset of the boss 602 after it descends, a second spring 603 is fixedly mounted between the cantilever 601 and the housing 1. Under the action of the second spring 603, the cantilever 601 has a tendency to be relatively close to the housing 1, and is in a close contact with the housing 1 in the initial state.

[0056] In this embodiment, the boss 602 corresponds to the position of the right arc edge of the belt 203, and is staggered with the base 301, so that when the guide column 303 descends from the upper right to the lower right with the belt 203, it does not drive the boss 602 to descend the entire range, but drives the boss 602 to descend after descending a short distance to the lower right, thereby driving the cantilever 601, the guide roller 5 and the left end of the optical fiber body 10 to descend.

[0057] When in use, the optical fiber body 10 is clamped by the guide column 303, the clamping plate 302 and the base 301, and the optical fiber body 10 is driven to move upward to avoid the substrate and then fall down to complete the bonding with the substrate. The working process and effect of this part are the same as those in the first embodiment, and will not be repeated here. The difference is that when the guide column 303 enters the right side of the arc groove 401, it can drive the base 301 and the clamping plate 302 to descend. At this time, the base 301 and the clamping plate 302 remain in the clamped state and still drive the optical fiber body 10 to move synchronously, so that the optical fiber body 10 falls to fit with the substrate. In this process, the guide column 303 will also push the boss 602 to make it fall, and then drive the guide roller 5 and the left side of the optical fiber body 10 to fall synchronously through the cantilever 601, so as to stretch the optical fiber body 10 to make it straight and make the optical fiber body 10 fit perfectly with the substrate.

[0058] It should be noted that the boss 602 can be threadedly matched with the cantilever 601 to form a fixed connection. At this time, the boss 602 can be freely adjusted based on the height of the cantilever 601 along the up and down directions, thereby adjusting the descending distance of the left side of the optical fiber body 10.

[0059] In the first embodiment, the belt 203 and the guide groove 4 are arranged to improve the complete trajectory of the movement of the guide post 303, but the right side of the arc groove 401 causes the guide post 303 to retreat a certain distance, so that the base 301 and the clamping plate 302 drive the right side of the optical fiber body 10 to move synchronously, so that the optical fiber body 10 may bend after falling onto the substrate, affecting the bonding quality and the use effect, and there are certain limitations in use.

[0060] Compared with the first embodiment, through the coordination of the cantilever 601, the boss 602, the guide post 303 and the housing 1, when the guide post 303 drives the base 301 and the clamping plate 302 to descend, it can also drive the guide roller 5 and the left side of the optical fiber body 10 to descend synchronously, thereby stretching the optical fiber body 10 to make it straight, and also making the optical fiber body 10 more closely fitted to the substrate, thereby ensuring the subsequent bonding quality and use effect. The overall solution is combined with the movement of the guide post 303, which also has a beneficial effect on the fit between the optical fiber body 10 and the clamping plate 302, and has stronger applicability.

[0061] Embodiment three:

[0062] See also Figures 1 to 10 On the basis of the second embodiment, in order to ensure that the optical fiber body 10 smoothly enters between the base 301 and the clamping plate 302, the base 301 / clamping plate 302 is improved: a slider 7 is elastically connected to the cantilever 601 through the third spring 8, and the slider 7 is used to support the movable end of the optical fiber body 10, so that the movable end can smoothly fall on the slider 7. At the same time, the slider 7 relatively protrudes from the cantilever 601 and points to the base 301. When the base 301 approaches the guide roller 5 under the action of the guide column 303, the slider 7 can be pushed to shrink toward the cantilever 601. At this time, the movable end of the optical fiber body 10 enters between the base 301 and the clamping plate 302.

[0063] In order to prevent the optical fiber body 10 from falling off from between the base 301 and the clamp 302, a sealing plate 306 that is movably fitted with the clamp 302 / base 301 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface between the base 301 / clamp 302, and the sealing plate 306 closes the lower part of the gap between the base 301 and the clamp 302, so that when the base 301 and the clamp 302 push the slider 7 to retract, the movable end of the optical fiber body 10 can smoothly enter between the base 301 and the clamp 302, and even if the movable end of the optical fiber body 10 falls due to gravity, it will not fall off from the middle of the base 301 and the clamp 302.

[0064] In the above structure, a groove 604 is formed on the front surface of the cantilever 601 to allow the slider 7 to slide horizontally, and also to facilitate the placement of the third spring 8.

[0065] In this embodiment, the optical fiber body 10 can be configured to be discharged from the bottom of the guide roller 5. At this time, the movable end of the optical fiber body 10 can better fit with the top surface of the slider 7, so that the movement of the slider 7 will not contact and interfere with the guide roller 5, while also reducing the overall occupied space.

[0066] When in use, the optical fiber body 10 is clamped and moved by the guide post 303, the clamping plate 302 and the base 301, so as to avoid and complete the bonding of the substrate. The optical fiber body 10 is straightened and the fit with the substrate is improved by the cantilever 601, the boss 602 and the guide post 303. The working process and effect of this part are the same as those in the second embodiment, and will not be repeated here. The difference is that when the guide post 303 moves from right to left along the transverse groove 402, the base 301 and the clamping plate 302 are relatively close to the slider 7. After contact, the base 301 and the clamping plate 302 push the slider 7 to shrink into the groove 604. At this time, the movable end of the next optical fiber body 10 can automatically enter between the base 301 and the clamping plate 302; when the guide post 303 enters the arc groove 401 through the left side of the transverse groove 402, the base 301 and the clamping plate 302 can automatically close to clamp the movable end of the optical fiber body 10.

[0067] In the second embodiment, the movable end of the optical fiber body 10 on the guide roller 5 will be tilted and dropped due to gravity, so that the base 301 and the clamping plate 302 may not be able to smoothly clamp the movable end of the optical fiber body 10, thereby affecting the subsequent movement and bonding process of the optical fiber body 10, and there are certain limitations in use.

[0068] Compared with the second embodiment, the cooperation of the base 301, the sealing plate 306, the slider 7 and the cantilever 601 can provide horizontal support for the movable end of the next optical fiber body 10, and the slider 7 can automatically retreat after the base 301 / clamping plate 302 moves into place, so that the movable end of the optical fiber body 10 can smoothly enter between the base 301 and the clamping plate 302, thereby ensuring that the base 301 and the clamping plate 302 can smoothly clamp the optical fiber body 10, thus ensuring the stability of the overall movement process. The overall solution is combined with the movement of the base 301, with a reasonable layout and small space occupation, meeting more needs in actual use.

[0069] Embodiment 4:

[0070] See also Figures 1 to 10 An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for bonding optical fibers. This embodiment adopts any one of embodiments one to three, and therefore also has corresponding beneficial effects.

[0071] Specifically, first, the control component 2 drives the material pulling component 3 to move along the guide groove 4 to clamp the active end of the optical fiber body 10, and then the control component 2 drives the material pulling component 3 and the optical fiber body 10 to move upward and then horizontally through the guide groove 4, so that the material pulling component 3 and the optical fiber body 10 avoid the substrate. During this process, the conveyor belt module 9 drives the substrate to move directly below the optical fiber body 10. Then, the control component 2 drives the material pulling component 3 and the optical fiber body 10 to descend through the guide groove 4, so that the optical fiber body 10 falls on the substrate, and at the same time, the glue dispensing mechanism starts to glue the substrate and the optical fiber body 10.
