Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of optical fiber connection equipment technology, and in particular to an optical fiber polishing machine based on a portable platform and its usage method. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of field fiber optic connections, aviation connectors are widely used due to their advantages such as dust and water resistance, vibration resistance, ease of maintenance, and ease of upgrades. However, the manufacturing process of fiber optic connectors for aviation equipment using existing technologies is quite complex. The manufacturing process includes several key steps such as pin potting, baking and curing, fiber polishing, and connector assembly. Therefore, field operations require carrying all the equipment compatible with the above-mentioned work steps, resulting in significant transportation and labor costs. In addition, field operations may be conducted in confined spaces such as ship cabins, and the space occupied by scattered equipment is large, which is not conducive to the operation.
[0003] Regarding the fiber polishing step, the equipment used for fiber polishing is a fiber polishing machine. If the requirement is to achieve the goal of using the fiber polishing machine both independently and integrated into an integrated box, the existing technology lacks a way to place and fix the independent fiber polishing machine in the integrated box without affecting the control of the fiber polishing machine or its operation.
[0004] Therefore, overcoming the shortcomings of the existing technology is an urgent problem to be solved in this technical field. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation
[0080] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.
[0081] Unless the context otherwise requires, throughout the specification and claims, the term "comprising" is interpreted as openly inclusive, meaning "including, but not limited to." In the description of the specification, terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "exemplary embodiment," "example," "specific example," or "some examples" are intended to indicate that a particular feature, structure, material, or characteristic associated with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of this disclosure.

Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics mentioned may be included in any suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples; that is, although they may be incorporated into embodiments or examples using the above terms for reasons such as order and position, it does not limit them to be incorporated in combination by a single embodiment or example.
[0082] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "longitudinal", "lateral", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this disclosure and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this disclosure.
[0083] In the description of this invention, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of embodiments of this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more. Furthermore, for example, the description may use the prefix "A" or "B" to describe the same type of nouns as two independent entities. In this case, the corresponding features defined with "A" and "B" are used only to distinguish between similar entities and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features.
[0084] In describing some embodiments, the terms "coupled," "coupled," and "connected," and their derivative expressions, may be used. For example, the term "connected" may be used in describing some embodiments to indicate that two or more components have direct physical or electrical contact with each other. Similarly, the term "coupled" may be used in describing some embodiments to indicate that two or more components have direct physical or electrical contact.

Furthermore, the term "coupled" can refer to an electrical connection method for achieving signal transmission.
[0086] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0087] Example 1:
[0088] like Figures 1-8 As shown, Embodiment 1 of the present invention provides an optical fiber polishing machine based on a portable platform, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes: a clamping assembly 1, a polishing mechanism 2, and an optical fiber polishing machine body 3; the optical fiber polishing machine body 3 carries the polishing mechanism 2 and is fixedly connected to the polishing mechanism 2, and the clamping assembly 1 is disposed above the polishing mechanism 2.
[0089] Among them, such as Figure 4 As shown, the clamp assembly 1 is provided with multiple clamping plates 11, which are designed to surround the clamp block 12 and are movably connected to the clamp block 12. In its natural state, the inner side of the clamping plate 11 is in contact with the surface of the clamp block 12. The surface of the clamp block 12 is provided with multiple clamping grooves 120, each of which corresponds to one of the clamping plates 11. The clamping grooves 120 are used to clamp the fiber optic connector. In one embodiment, the clamping plate 11 is axially connected to the clamp block 12, and the clamping plate 11 can rotate relative to the clamp block 12 to selectively close the clamping grooves 120, thereby achieving the purpose of clamping the fiber optic connector.
[0090] To further ensure the stability of the fiber optic connector during the fiber polishing process, the clamping plate 11 is provided with a first screw hole 111 at one of its open and closed ends, and the clamping block 12 is provided with a second screw hole (not shown in the figure) corresponding to the first screw hole 111 at the corresponding position. The clamping plate 11 and the clamping block 12 can be fixed by screws through the first screw hole 111 and the second screw hole to prevent the fiber optic connector from falling off the clamping assembly 1 during the polishing process. To accommodate various fiber optic connectors, the clamp block 12 is detachable. A fixing protrusion 122 is machined on the top of the clamp block 12. This fixing protrusion 122 is annular, with its central axis slidably connected to the connecting shaft 10 of the clamp assembly 1. Multiple screw holes are provided on the surface of the fixing protrusion 122, into which headless screws can be screwed. The headless screws pass through the through holes and abut against the connecting shaft 10. Tightening the headless screws fixes the clamp block 12 relative to the connecting shaft 10. Similarly, to adjust the height of the clamp block 12, the headless screws can be loosened and tightened again to fix the clamp block 12. Specifically, the clamp block 12 can be circular, square, or hexagonal, etc., depending on the design of the grinding mechanism 2, as described below.
[0091] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the grinding mechanism 2 includes a grinding base 20 and a grinding disc 21 placed on the grinding base 20. Fixing units 200 are provided at the four corners of the grinding base 20, and the fixing units 200 are used to fix the grinding disc 21. A connecting shaft 10 is provided at the central shaft of the clamp assembly 1, and the bottom of the connecting shaft 10 is threadedly connected to the grinding disc 21.
[0092] Specifically, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the grinding disc 21 has a third screw hole 212 at its center, and the connecting shaft 10 has a threaded portion 100 at its tail. The third screw hole 212 is coupled to the threaded portion 100. In practical applications, the grinding disc 21 can be replaced according to the size of the fiber optic ceramic ferrule.
[0093] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the grinding disc 21 has multiple small holes for inserting optical fibers (e.g., ...). Figure 5 (As shown in the dashed box), the center of the clamping groove 120 on the clamping block 12 should be aligned with the center of the small hole on the polishing disc 21. This ensures that when the fiber optic connector is placed on the clamping assembly 1, the fiber optic cable can fall naturally in a vertical direction, minimizing fiber bending. The number of small holes can be as follows: Figure 5The number shown is 6, but it can also be 8 to 12. Similarly, the number of clamping slots 120 and the number of small holes must also correspond.
[0094] like Figure 7 As shown, the fiber polishing machine is used in conjunction with the integrated box 4. The integrated box 4 includes an inner box 40 and a box sleeve 41. The inner box 40 and the box sleeve 41 are fixedly connected. The fiber polishing machine body 3 is housed in the inner box 40. The lower surface of the polishing base 20 abuts against the upper surface of the box sleeve 41. The box sleeve 41 supports the polishing mechanism 2.
[0095] Specifically, such as Figure 8 As shown, the length L1 of the polishing base 20 is greater than the length L2 of the fiber polishing machine body 3, and the width L3 of the polishing base 20 is greater than the width L4 of the fiber polishing machine body 3. This enables the polishing base 20 to be mounted on top of the housing 41 when the fiber polishing machine is placed inside the integrated box 4, so that the entire fiber polishing machine can be installed inside the integrated box 4.
[0096] The integrated box 4 provided by this invention can integrate the fiber optic polishing machine and other equipment for manufacturing fiber optic connectors within the integrated box 4, saving transportation and labor costs. When the on-site operation is in a confined space, the integrated box 4, which integrates the necessary equipment, occupies less space, thus playing a positive role in the operation and efficiency. The structure and specific types of the other equipment for manufacturing fiber optic connectors integrated into the integrated box 4 will be described in detail in subsequent embodiments.
[0097] To fully illustrate the solutions provided by the embodiments of the present invention, the above structures will be described in detail below.
[0098] For the fixing unit 200 used to fix the grinding disc 21, in order to ensure the reliability of fixing the grinding disc 21, such as Figure 9aAs shown, the fixing unit 200 includes a fixing post 2000, a handle 2001, a rotating post 2002, and a rotating base 2003. The rotating base 2003 is fixedly connected to the grinding base 20. The fixing post 2000 and the handle 2001 are fixedly connected. The fixing post 2000 and the rotating post 2002 are fixedly connected. The rotating base 2003 is hollow, and the rotating post 2002 is located in the hollow part of the rotating base 2003. The handle 2001... The rotating column 2002 is used to rotate the rotating column 2002 so that the fixing column 2000 fixes the grinding disc 21; wherein, the rotating base 2003 is hollow, and the rotating column 2002 can pass through the hollow part of the rotating base 2003 and move up and down and rotate relative to the rotating base 2003; the grinding disc 21 is provided with fixing grooves 210 at the four corners, and when the fixing column 2000 fixes the grinding disc 21, the fixing column 2000 is located in the fixing groove 210. Specifically, the fixed post 2000 and the handle 2001 are fixedly connected to the rotating post 2002 by means of integral molding and insertion or by means of welding. In actual application scenarios, if the edge of the grinding disc 21 is in the shape of a right angle, then when the handle 2001 is turned to rotate the rotating post 2002, the fixed post 2000 will be blocked by the side of the grinding disc 21. Therefore, the upper surface edge of the grinding disc 21 is processed into a bevel 211. The bevel 211 is used to guide the fixed post 2000 to slide into the fixed groove 210 along the bevel 211.
[0099] To ensure the reliability of the fixing post 2000 in fixing the grinding disc 21, and considering that in its natural state, the height of the highest point of the fixing post 2000 is lower than the height of the upper surface of the grinding disc 21, therefore, as Figure 9b As shown, a spring 2004 is provided at the bottom of the rotating column 2002. One end of the spring 2004 is fixedly connected to the rotating column 2002, and the other end of the spring 2004 is fixedly connected to the interior of the grinding base 20. When the fixed column 2000 slides into the fixed groove 210 along the inclined surface 211, the spring 2004 firmly fixes the fixed column 2000 in the fixed groove 210. In this case, the spring 2004 will cause the fixed column 2000 to abut against the side of the fixed groove 210, and will also exert a downward pulling force on the fixed column 2000, so that the fixed column 2000 abuts against the bottom surface of the fixed groove 210, thereby achieving the stability of the fixation.
[0100] Since the surface structure of the fiber polishing machine is not flat, the installation structure of the integrated box 4 for the fiber polishing machine also needs to be designed according to the actual shape of the fiber polishing machine. The specific design scheme is as follows.
[0101] In one embodiment, such as Figure 10 As shown, the surface of the fiber polishing machine body 3 is equipped with functional buttons such as switch 32, display screen 33, and indicator light 34. Therefore, when designing the structure of the integrated box 4, it is necessary to avoid the fiber polishing machine being placed inside the integrated box 4 and the flat surface inside the integrated box 4 pressing against the multiple functional buttons, causing accidental touches and affecting the normal operation of the fiber polishing machine.
[0102] Based on the above considerations, such as Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the upper surface of the housing 41 is provided with a square through hole 410, which matches the size of the fiber optic polishing machine body 3. The inner housing 40 is provided with a first receiving groove 400, which extends from the upper surface of the inner housing 40 into the interior of the inner housing 40. The position of the first receiving groove 400 corresponds to the position of the square through hole 410, and the first receiving groove 400 is used to accommodate the fiber optic polishing machine body 3. Specifically, the size of the square through hole 410 matches the size of the fiber optic polishing machine body 3 so that the side of the fiber optic polishing machine body 3 with functional buttons can pass through the square through hole 410 and be placed into the first receiving groove 400 without being obstructed by the square through hole 410.
[0103] by Figure 10 Taking the fiber polishing machine shown as an example, in order to prevent the functional buttons such as the switch 32, display screen 33, and indicator light 34 on the surface of the fiber polishing machine body 3 from being squeezed in the first receiving groove 400, such as... Figure 12 As shown, a first groove 401 is machined on the first plane 4000 of the first receiving groove 400. The first groove 401 extends from the upper surface of the inner housing 40 to the bottom of the first receiving groove 400. The first groove 401 is used to accommodate structures protruding from the surface of the fiber polishing machine body 3. Combined with the aforementioned square through hole 410, as... Figure 13 and Figure 14a As shown, the length L5 of the two planes perpendicular to the square through-hole 410 and the first plane 4000 is equal to the sum of the width L6 of the first receiving groove 400 and the depth L7 of the first recess 401, preventing the functional buttons on the fiber optic polisher body 3 from being blocked when passing through the square through-hole 410. In practical applications, the position of the first recess 401 can be designed according to the position of the functional buttons on the surface of the fiber optic polisher body 3, with the aim of avoiding the position of the functional buttons to prevent accidental touches. Therefore, in this embodiment, the size of the first recess 401 is not subject to too many restrictions. In addition, the first recess 401 also serves as a foolproof installation mechanism for the fiber optic polisher, as described in the section on the setting of the gold fingers below.
[0104] After the fiber optic polishing machine is used, the polishing disc 21 will be removed and stored in the integrated box 4. To make full use of the space below the first receiving slot 400, such as... Figure 15a As shown, a second receiving groove 402 is provided at the bottom of the first receiving groove 400, and the second receiving groove 402 is used to receive the grinding disc 21. To ensure the stability of the grinding disc 21, the size of the second receiving groove 402 is equal to the size of the grinding disc 21. To facilitate the removal of the grinding disc 21 from the second receiving groove 402, as shown... Figure 14a and Figure 15a As shown, second grooves 4020 are provided on both sides of the second receiving groove 402 to facilitate the removal of the polishing disc 21 from the second receiving groove 402. Since the bottom of the fiber optic polishing machine body 3 is not pressed tightly against the polishing disc 21 placed in the second receiving groove 402, therefore, as... Figure 14a As shown, clamping units 4021 are provided on both sides of the second receiving groove 402. The clamping units 4021 are rotatably connected to the bottom of the first receiving groove 400, and the clamping units 4021 are used to fix the grinding disc 21 in the second receiving groove 402. Figure 14b As shown, when preparing to place the grinding disc 21 into the second receiving groove 402, the pressing unit 4021 is moved so that the pressing unit 4021 is pressed against the bottom of the first receiving groove 400 and detached from the area above the second receiving groove 402.
[0105] To facilitate the easy assembly and disassembly of the clamping assembly 1 and the grinding disc 21, the grinding disc 21 can be removed together with the clamping assembly 1 and directly stored in the integrated box 4. Therefore, as Figure 15a As shown, a third receiving groove 403 is machined at the bottom of the second receiving groove 402. The third receiving groove 403 extends from the bottom of the second receiving groove 402 to the bottom of the inner box 40, and the third receiving groove 403 is used to receive the clamp assembly 1. Figure 15b As shown, after removing the grinding disc 21 and the clamping assembly 1 together, the grinding disc 21 is flipped over so that the clamping assembly 1 faces downwards. The clamping assembly 1 is then placed into the third receiving groove 403, and the grinding disc 21 is placed into the second receiving groove 402; Figure 15c As shown, after placing the grinding disc 21 in the second receiving groove 402, the pressing unit 4021 is rotated to press the grinding disc 21, preventing the grinding disc 21 from falling out of the second receiving groove 402 due to the tilt of the integrated box 4 or the bumps of the transportation environment.
[0106] The above solution mentions that a first groove 401 is machined and provided on the first plane 4000 of the first receiving groove 400. The function of the first groove 401 is to prevent the plane of the first receiving groove 400 from accidentally touching the functional buttons on the fiber polishing machine body 3. Therefore, when the fiber polishing machine is integrated into the integrated box 4 for operation, the functional buttons on the fiber polishing machine body 3 cannot control the fiber polishing machine, and the power supply cannot directly supply power to the fiber polishing machine. Therefore, this embodiment of the invention uses gold fingers on the fiber polishing machine body 3 to transfer the control function of the functional buttons to the integrated box 4, and controls the fiber polishing machine through the buttons provided on the integrated box 4. Specifically, as follows... Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, the second plane 30 of the fiber polishing machine body 3 is provided with a first gold finger 300 and a second gold finger 301, and the third plane 4001 of the first receiving groove 400 is provided with a third gold finger 404 corresponding to the first gold finger 300 and a fourth gold finger 405 corresponding to the second gold finger 301; as Figure 18 and Figure 19 As shown, the fourth plane 31 of the fiber optic polishing machine body 3 has a fifth gold finger 310 and a sixth gold finger 311. The fifth plane 4002 of the first receiving groove 400 is provided with a seventh gold finger 406 corresponding to the fifth gold finger 310 and an eighth gold finger 407 corresponding to the sixth gold finger 311. The first gold finger 300 is used to transfer the power function of the fiber optic polishing machine body 3 to the integrated box 4. The second gold finger 301 is used to transfer the switching function of the fiber optic polishing machine body 3 to the integrated box 4. The fifth gold finger 310 is used to transfer the display function of the fiber optic polishing machine body 3 to the integrated box 4. The sixth gold finger 311 is used to transfer the adjustment function of the fiber optic polishing machine body 3 to the integrated box 4.
[0107] Among them, the first gold finger 300, the second gold finger 301, the fifth gold finger 310, and the sixth gold finger 311 can be metal springs, while the third gold finger 404, the fourth gold finger 405, the seventh gold finger 406, and the eighth gold finger 407 can be metal sheets. The metal springs contact the metal sheets to achieve electrical connection. The specific shape of the gold fingers is selected according to the actual situation, as long as electrical contact can be achieved.
[0108] Specifically, a first adapter plate is provided inside the fiber optic polishing machine body 3. The first gold finger 300 and the second gold finger 301 are disposed on the first adapter plate. The power signal of the fiber optic polishing machine body 3 is transferred to the first gold finger 300 through the first adapter plate, and the switch signal of the fiber optic polishing machine body 3 is transferred to the second gold finger 301 through the first adapter plate. The second plane 30 of the fiber optic polishing machine body 3 is provided with corresponding lead-out holes to lead out the first gold finger 300 and the second gold finger 301. A second adapter plate is provided inside the fiber optic polishing machine body 3. The fifth gold finger 310 and the sixth gold finger 311 are disposed on the second adapter plate. The display function of the fiber optic polishing machine body 3 is transferred to the fifth gold finger 310 through the second adapter plate, and the adjustment function of the fiber optic polishing machine body 3 is transferred to the fifth gold finger 310 through the second adapter plate. The fourth plane 31 of the fiber optic polishing machine body 3 is provided with corresponding lead-out holes to lead out the fifth gold finger 310 and the sixth gold finger 311.
[0109] The third gold finger 404 and the fourth gold finger 405 are disposed on the third adapter plate, which is connected to the control board on the integrated box 4; the seventh gold finger 406 and the eighth gold finger 407 are disposed on the fourth adapter plate, which is also connected to the control board on the integrated box 4. The third adapter plate and the fourth adapter plate are respectively disposed on the corresponding plane to achieve the purpose of function transfer.
[0110] In the above preferred embodiment, by setting a first gold finger 300, a second gold finger 301, a fifth gold finger 310, and a sixth gold finger 311 on the fiber optic polishing machine body 3, and a third gold finger 404, a fourth gold finger 405, a seventh gold finger 406, and an eighth gold finger 407 on the inner box 40 corresponding to the first gold finger 300, the second gold finger 301, the fifth gold finger 310, and the sixth gold finger 311 respectively, the power supply function, the switching function of the switch 32, the display function of the display screen 33, and the adjustment function of the fiber optic polishing machine are transferred to the integrated box 4. This facilitates operation and ensures that the fiber optic polishing machine can work independently after being taken out of the integrated box 4, or it can work while placed in the integrated box 4, thus accommodating both working modes.
[0111] In one embodiment, the first gold finger 300 and the second gold finger 301 are disposed on the second plane 30, and the fifth gold finger 310 and the sixth gold finger 311 are disposed on the fifth plane 4002. The second plane 30 and the fifth plane 4002 are two planes disposed opposite to each other. If the fiber polishing machine can be normally controlled within the integrated box 4 without the gold fingers serving as an adapter, the first receiving groove 400 on the inner box 40 can be enlarged so that the main body of the fiber polishing machine can be placed into the first receiving groove 400 without distinguishing the angle plane. In this case, it will not affect the normal operation of the fiber polishing machine. However, in the operation of installing and removing the fiber polishing machine, if the polishing base 20 is held with both hands, firstly, the safety of the operation cannot be guaranteed, and secondly, this method brings great inconvenience. Based on this, if Figure 20 As shown, the grinding base 20 includes a handle 201 for lifting the grinding mechanism 2. Adjusting screws 202 are provided on two pairs of sides of the grinding base 20, and straight slots 2010 are provided on both sides of the handle 201. The adjusting screws 202 pass through the straight slots 2010 and are threadedly connected to the grinding base 20. When the nut of the adjusting screw 202 is not in contact with the handle 201, the straight slots 2010 can move relative to the adjusting screw 202.
[0112] In practical use, when it is necessary to lift the handle 201, loosen the adjusting screw 202 so that the nut of the adjusting screw 202 is not locked with the handle 201, pull the handle 201 outward until one end of the crossbeam of the straight groove 2010 away from the handle 201 abuts against the adjusting screw 202, and then lift the handle 201; when putting down the handle 201, push the handle 201 back so that the crossbeam of the handle 201 is close to the side of the grinding base 20, tighten the adjusting screw 202 so that the nut of the adjusting screw 202 is close to the outside of the handle 201, fix the handle 201 and prevent the handle 201 from rotating.
[0113] In the embodiments of the present invention, the mechanism and principle of the fiber polishing machine polishing the fiber are all based on existing technology and are not the key core points of the present invention. The motor control of the fiber polishing machine is based on existing technology. The core points of the present invention are the design of the integrated box 4 structure and the structural design for installing the fiber polishing machine on the integrated box 4.
[0114] In summary, according to the embodiments of the present invention, a portable platform-based fiber polishing machine is provided. The embodiments of the present invention also provide a method for using the portable platform-based fiber polishing machine, such as... Figure 21 As shown, including;
[0115] In step 50, the polishing mechanism 2 and the optical fiber polishing machine body 3 are removed from the integrated box 4.
[0116] In step 51, the polishing disc 21 and the clamping assembly 1 connected to the polishing disc 21 are removed from the integrated box 4, and then the polishing mechanism 2 and the fiber polishing machine body 3 are placed into the integrated box 4.
[0117] In step 52, the grinding disc 21 and the clamping assembly 1 are assembled with the grinding base 20, and the grinding disc 21 is fixed by the fixing unit 200.
[0118] In step 53, the integrated box 4 is powered on to start the optical fiber polishing machine.
[0119] In step 54, after the fiber polishing machine has finished working, the power to the integrated box 4 is turned off, the fixing unit 200 is released from fixing the polishing disc 21, and the polishing disc 21 and the clamp assembly 1 are removed together.
[0120] In step 55, the grinding mechanism 2 and the fiber polishing machine body 3 are removed, the grinding disc 21 is flipped over so that the clamping assembly 1 faces downward, and the grinding disc 21 and the clamping assembly 1 are placed into the integrated box 4.
[0121] In step 56, the polishing mechanism 2 and the optical fiber polishing machine body 3 are placed into the integrated box 4, the integrated box 4 is closed, and the operation is completed.
[0122] Example 2:
[0123] Embodiment 2 of the present invention provides a portable optical fiber connection device for aviation connectors based on Embodiment 1. The device includes an optical fiber polisher based on a portable platform mentioned in Embodiment 1.
[0124] To ensure the fluency of describing the solution of Embodiment 2 of the present invention, Embodiment 2 of the present invention adopts a different independent numbering system than Embodiment 1 of the present invention. Where there are the same structural names or similar structural components, those skilled in the art can understand that the technical content described in this solution will not be considered unrelated to the two due to the difference in the corresponding number. The correlation between the structure in the embodiment of the present invention and the structure in Embodiment 1 should be reasonably inferred through the structural management of the text and the drawings.
[0125] like Figure 22 As shown, it includes: an integration box 6 and a semi-finished product fixing device 7, an optical fiber polishing device 8, an optical fiber testing device 9, an optical fiber curing device 010, and an optical fiber assembly device 011 integrated within the integration box 6.
[0126] It should be noted that the integrated box 6 in Embodiment 2 is the same as the integrated box 4 in Embodiment 1, and the fiber polishing device 8 is the same as the fiber polishing machine in Embodiment 1. Furthermore, as... Figure 23 The integrated box 6 includes an inner box 60 and a box sleeve 61. The inner box 60 is the inner box 40 of Embodiment 1, and the box sleeve 61 is the box sleeve 41 of Embodiment 1. The specific structure of the fiber polishing equipment 8 is described in Embodiment 1, and the positional relationship, structural relationship, and assembly relationship between the fiber polishing equipment 8 and the integrated box 6 will be described in Embodiment 1, and will not be repeated here.
[0127] The semi-finished product fixing device 7 is used to place the optical fiber stripped by the hot stripper, preparing it for subsequent optical fiber polishing; the optical fiber polishing device 8 polishes the optical fiber head, for example, polishing the end of the optical fiber with a ceramic head fixed on it; the optical fiber testing device 9 is used to detect whether the end face of the optical fiber after polishing by the optical fiber polishing device 8 meets the requirements; for qualified optical fibers, an adhesive layer needs to be coated on the end face of the optical fiber connector or pigtail to fix and protect the optical fiber; the function of the optical fiber curing device 010 is to heat these optical fiber connectors or pigtails that have been coated with adhesive, and cure the adhesive by heating, thereby fixing and protecting the end face of the optical fiber; after the optical fiber is cured, the optical fiber assembly device 011 is used to assemble the male and female ends of the optical fiber connectors on the cured optical fiber.
[0128] like Figure 23 As shown, the optical fiber polishing device 8 includes a second adjustment knob 80 and a first switch 81. The second adjustment knob 80 is used to adjust the parameters of the optical fiber polishing device 8, and the first switch 81 is used to control the start and stop of the optical fiber polishing device 8.
[0129] Since all of the aforementioned devices need to operate inside a container and rely on the container for power, therefore... Figure 24 As shown, a power interface 62 is provided on the back of the integrated box 6, which is used to connect to an external power source. Specifically, the power interface 62 is compatible with a 220V power supply. In addition, if the work environment is in the field or other environments without power, the integrated box 6, as the only power source, can be used as an emergency power source. Figure 23 As shown, a power output port 63 is provided on the side where the third cover plate 612 of the integrated box 6 is located. The power output port 63 is used to supply power to external devices.
[0130] like Figure 23 and Figure 24As shown, the integrated box 6 includes an inner box body 60 and a box sleeve 61. The inner box body 60 is fitted inside the box sleeve 61. The four sides of the box sleeve 61 are respectively provided with an openable first cover plate 610, a second cover plate 611, a third cover plate 612, and a box cover 613. The semi-finished product fixing device 7 is fixed to the first cover plate 610, the optical fiber curing device 010 is fixed to the second cover plate 611, the optical fiber assembly device 011 is fixed to the third cover plate 612, the optical fiber polishing device 8 and the optical fiber testing device 9 are fixed to the upper surface of the box sleeve 61, and the box cover 613 is used to selectively close the upper surface of the box sleeve 61. Figure 25 As shown, when the first cover plate 610, the second cover plate 611, the third cover plate 612 and the box cover 613 are closed, the semi-finished product fixing equipment 7, the optical fiber curing equipment 010, the optical fiber assembly equipment 011, the optical fiber polishing equipment 8 and the optical fiber testing equipment 9 are stored in the integrated box.
[0131] See Figure 2 As shown, in practical application scenarios, the working environment may be relatively dark. In addition to the head-mounted lighting, a light source 6130 can also be installed inside the cover 613. To avoid squeezing the fiber polishing equipment 8 and the fiber inspection equipment 9, the light source 6130 is located at the corner of the cover 613. Specifically, the light source 6130 can be an LED light.
[0132] Among them, since the fiber optic assembly equipment 011 needs to be vertical during operation, and to minimize the space occupied during operation, such as Figure 26 and Figure 27 As shown, the third cover plate 612 is a detachable cover plate, and the third cover plate 612 is provided with a fourth screw hole 6120. The housing 61 is provided with a fifth screw hole 614 corresponding to the fourth screw hole 6120. When the third cover plate 612 is removed from the housing 61, the fourth screw hole 6120 is aligned with the fifth screw hole 614, and screws are used to fix the third cover plate 612 to the housing 61 so that the optical fiber assembly equipment 011 can operate vertically.
[0133] In addition, considering the convenience of operation, the bottom of the integrated box 6 is equipped with adjustable support legs, the adjustable support legs are adjustable in height from 25mm to 50mm; the adjustable support legs can also be disassembled according to the working environment.
[0134] According to the above scheme, the design of the integrated box 6 provided in this embodiment of the invention can integrate the semi-finished product fixing equipment 7, the optical fiber polishing equipment 8, the optical fiber testing equipment 9, the optical fiber curing equipment 010 and the optical fiber assembly equipment 011 into the integrated box 6, saving transportation costs and labor costs. When the on-site operation is in a confined space, the integrated box 6 integrates the equipment required for the operation and occupies less space, which plays a positive role in the operation and efficiency.
[0135] To fully illustrate the complete solution provided by the embodiments of the present invention, the structural details of the above-mentioned devices and the integrated box 6 will be described in further detail below.
[0136] For the fiber optic testing equipment 9, it is used to detect the flatness of the polished end face of the fiber optic cable, such as... Figure 28a As shown, the fiber optic testing device 9 includes an automatic end-detector 90 and a first adjustment knob 91. The automatic end-detector 90 is used to detect the fiber polishing results, and the first adjustment knob 91 is used to adjust the parameters of the automatic end-detector 90. For details, please refer to... Figure 28b As shown in the dashed box, the automatic end-detector 90 is provided with a small hole for optical fiber insertion. After the optical fiber is polished, the polished end of the optical fiber is inserted into the small hole for testing. The first adjustment knob 91 is used to adjust the magnification of the automatic end-detector 90.
[0137] To enable more intuitive observation of the test results of the fiber optic polishing end, the device also includes a control display screen 012, which is located in the integrated box 6. The control display screen 012 displays the test results of the automatic end-detection head 90 of the fiber optic testing device 9, and is used to adjust the parameters of the fiber optic curing device 010. The parameters of the fiber optic curing device 010 include heating temperature and time. After setting the parameters of the fiber optic curing device 010 on the control display screen 012, the fiber optic curing device 010 is started. The device automatically alarms after the heating timer for the fiber optic curing device 010 ends.
[0138] When using the semi-finished product fixing equipment 7, fiber polishing equipment 8, fiber curing equipment 010, and fiber assembly equipment 011, the equipment needs to clamp the female end of the fiber optic connector with the tail attachment for operation. Therefore, if... Figure 29As shown, the semi-finished product fixing device 7 includes a first optical fiber clamp 70, which includes a first clamping block 700, at least one first clamping plate 701, and at least one second clamping plate 702. The first clamping plate 701 and the second clamping plate 702 are disposed on the first clamping block 700, which is disposed on the first cover plate 610. The first clamping plate 701 and the second clamping plate 702 are movably connected to the first clamping block 700. There is a preset height difference between the corresponding areas of the first clamping plate 701 and the second clamping plate 702 on the first clamping block 700, so that the diameters of the optical fiber connectors clamped by the first clamping plate 701 and the second clamping plate 702 are different. The height of the first clamping plate 701 is greater than the height of the second clamping plate 702; that is, the diameter of the optical fiber connector clamped by the first clamping plate 701 is greater than the diameter of the optical fiber connector clamped by the second clamping plate 702.
[0139] like Figure 30 As shown, the optical fiber curing device 010 includes a second optical fiber clamp 0100, which comprises a second clamping block 01010, at least one third clamping plate 0102, and at least one fourth clamping plate 0103. The second clamping block 01010 is disposed on the second cover plate 611, and the third clamping plate 0102 and the fourth clamping plate 0103 are disposed on the second clamping block 01010. The third clamping plate 0102 and the fourth clamping plate 0103 are respectively movably connected to the second clamping block 01010. The third clamping plate 0102... A preset height difference exists between the corresponding area of the third clamping plate 0102 and the fourth clamping plate 0103 on the second clamping block 01010, so that the diameters of the fiber optic connectors clamped by the third clamping plate 0102 and the fourth clamping plate 0103 are different; wherein, the height of the third clamping plate 0102 is greater than the height of the fourth clamping plate 0103, and the second fiber optic clamps 0100 are arranged on both sides of the curing stage 0104; that is, the diameter of the fiber optic connector clamped by the third clamping plate 0102 is greater than the diameter of the fiber optic connector clamped by the fourth clamping plate 0103.
[0140] like Figure 31As shown, the optical fiber assembly equipment 011 includes a third optical fiber clamp 0110, which comprises a third clamping block 0111, at least one fifth clamping plate 0112, and at least one sixth clamping plate 0113. The third clamping block 0111 is disposed on the third cover plate 612, and the fifth clamping plate 0112 and the sixth clamping plate 0113 are disposed on the third clamping block 0111. The fifth clamping plate 0112 and the sixth clamping plate 0113 are respectively movably connected to the third clamping block 0111. The fifth clamping plate 011... 2. The sixth clamping plate 0113 and the corresponding area set on the third clamping block 0111 have a preset height difference, so that the diameters of the fiber optic connectors clamped by the fifth clamping plate 0112 and the sixth clamping plate 0113 are different; wherein, the height set by the fifth clamping plate 0112 is greater than the height set by the sixth clamping plate 0113; that is, the diameter of the fiber optic connector clamped by the fifth clamping plate 0112 is greater than the diameter of the fiber optic connector clamped by the sixth clamping plate 0113; the third fiber optic clamp 0110 is used to clamp the male end of the fiber optic connector.
[0141] In actual use, the first clamping block 700, the second clamping block 01010, and the third clamping block 0111 are provided with grooves (not shown in the figure) for accommodating the tail of the fiber optic connector.

Fixing screws are used to fix the first clamping plate 701 and the second clamping plate 702 to the first clamping block 700 through the sixth screw hole 7010 and the seventh screw hole 7000, thereby improving the stability of the first fiber optic clamp 70 in holding the fiber optic connectors. The second fiber optic clamp 0100 and the third fiber optic clamp 0110 are similarly designed. The clamping structure of the fiber optic polishing equipment 8 will be described in detail in subsequent embodiments.
[0143] For the fiber optic assembly equipment 011, in addition to the third fiber optic clamp 0110 for holding the male end of the fiber optic connector, such as Figure 31 As shown, the optical fiber assembly equipment 011 further includes a connector fixing seat 0114, which is disposed on the opposite side of the third optical fiber clamp 0110. The connector fixing seat 0114 is used to fix the female end of the optical fiber connector. The female end of the optical fiber connector is fixedly connected to the connector fixing seat 0114 by means of a threaded connection.
[0144] Combining the aforementioned devices integrated within the integrated box 6, since the semi-finished product fixing device 7 is fixed to the first cover plate 610, the fiber curing device 010 is fixed to the second cover plate 611, and the fiber assembly device 011 is fixed to the third cover plate 612, when the first cover plate 610, the second cover plate 611, and the third cover plate 612 are closed, the semi-finished product fixing device 7, the fiber curing device 010, and the fiber assembly device 011 are embedded within the inner box 60 of the integrated box 6. Based on this, as... Figure 32 As shown, a fourth receiving groove 600 is provided on the upper surface of the inner box 60, the fourth receiving groove 600 being used to receive the semi-finished product fixing device 7; as Figure 33 As shown, the inner housing 60 is provided with a fifth receiving slot 601, which is used to receive the optical fiber curing equipment 010; the inner housing 60 is provided with a sixth receiving slot 602, which is used to receive the optical fiber assembly equipment 011.

[0146] In step S1, the device is placed in the designated position, the first cover plate 610, the second cover plate 611, the third cover plate 612 and the box cover 613 are opened, and the device is started.
[0147] In step S2, the cladding layer of the optical fiber is stripped off, and the stripped optical fiber is fixed on the semi-finished product fixing device 7.
[0148] In step S3, the optical fiber polishing equipment 8 is installed, the optical fiber with the cladding layer removed is fixed on the optical fiber polishing equipment 8, and the optical fiber polishing equipment 8 is started.
[0149] In step S4, the optical fiber polished by the optical fiber polishing device 8 is placed into the optical fiber testing device 9 for testing of the polished end face.
[0150] In step S5, the surface of the qualified optical fiber is coated with adhesive and placed in the optical fiber curing device 010 to cure the adhesive.
[0151] In step S6, the cured optical fiber is placed into the optical fiber assembly equipment 011 for assembly, thus completing the operation.
[0152] In step S7, after the operation is completed, the equipment is turned off and the first cover plate 610, the second cover plate 611, the third cover plate 612 and the box cover 613 are closed.
