Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of optical fiber ring manufacturing, and in particular to a multi-stage coaxial mechanism for optical fiber winding. Background Technology

[0002] Fiber optic rings have wide applications in gyroscope inertial systems, sonar monitoring systems, and power signal sensing. Based on their precision levels, fiber optic rings can be categorized into three types from high to low: strategic-grade, inertial-grade, and navigation-grade. The core factor determining the precision of a fiber optic ring lies in the fiber length and its winding process. According to the Shupe effect, symmetrically wound fiber optic rings exhibit better all-temperature stability. The symmetrical winding process inevitably involves dividing the fiber into two halves, storing each end on a fiber distribution tray, and then alternately winding the two trays according to a specific pattern to form fiber optic rings. See CN117647269B for an automatic fiber optic ring winding mechanism. Based on these winding requirements, it is necessary to configure the rotating axes of the fiber optic ring tooling skeleton, the fiber distribution tray, and the fiber guide assembly, respectively, and arrange these three sets of rotating axes coaxially to achieve automated integration of fiber winding.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] Example 1:

[0026] like Figure 1-8 In this invention, a multi-stage coaxial mechanism for optical fiber winding is disclosed. A base 10 is provided on the base 10, and a triple-axis structure 1 is provided on the base 10. The triple-axis structure 1 includes a triple-axis rotating base 101 connected to the base 10. Inside the triple-axis rotating base 101, a follower concentric outer shaft 103, a drive shaft 102, and a follower concentric inner shaft 104 are sequentially fitted, each capable of independent rotation. The follower concentric outer shaft 103, drive shaft 102, and follower concentric inner shaft 104 can rotate synchronously. A follower unlocking mechanism 3 is provided on one side of the triple-axis structure 1, which is used to switch between synchronous and independent rotation states of the follower concentric outer shaft 103, drive shaft 102, and follower concentric inner shaft 104.

[0027] Bearing devices are fitted between the triple-axis rotating base 101, the follower concentric outer shaft 103, the driving shaft 102, and the follower concentric inner shaft 104 to ensure smooth rotation.

[0028] One end of the drive shaft 102 is provided with a second mounting part 106, which is used to install the fiber distribution disc 7. One end of the follower concentric inner shaft 104 is provided with a first mounting part 105, which is used to install the fiber optic ring tooling frame 8. One end of the follower concentric outer shaft 103 is provided with a third mounting part 107, which is used to install the fiber optic guide assembly 9.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the follow-up unlocking mechanism 3 includes a linear drive module 301, a movable moving platform 302 on the linear drive module 301, a pulling frame 303 on the moving platform 302, an inner shaft locking mechanism 5 at one end of the follow-up concentric inner shaft 104, and an outer shaft locking mechanism 6 at one end of the follow-up concentric outer shaft 103. The pulling frame 303 is used to pull the inner shaft locking mechanism 5 and the outer shaft locking mechanism 6.

[0030] The linear drive module 301 mainly consists of a lead screw, a slide rail, and a servo motor.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the locking mechanism includes a movable gear seat 308, a gear ring 310 is sleeved on the outside of the drive shaft 102, the gear seat 308 abuts against the gear ring 310, and the locking mechanism is provided with a pulled part 306. The pulling frame 303 pulls the pulled part 306 to disengage the gear seat 308 from the gear ring 310.

[0032] In the preferred embodiment, a connecting sleeve 109 is fitted at one end of the follower concentric outer shaft 103, and a connecting block 108 is provided at one end of the follower concentric inner shaft 104. A semi-circular sleeve 110 is provided on one side of the connecting block 108 and the connecting sleeve 109. A telescopic guide rod 307 is provided inside the semi-circular sleeve 110. A gear seat 308 is provided at one end of the guide rod 307, and a movable block 311 is provided at the other end of the guide rod 307. The pulling frame 303 pulls the movable block 311.

[0033] Each locking mechanism has at least two guide rods 307, and the semi-circular sleeve 110 is equipped with a copper bushing or linear bearing to ensure the smoothness and stability of the movement of the movable block 311.

[0034] In the preferred embodiment, the pull frame 303 is provided with two hook-shaped structures 304, each hook-shaped structure 304 is provided with a wedge-shaped abutment surface 305, one end of the movable block 311 is provided with a cylindrical head 312, the wedge-shaped abutment surface 305 abuts against the cylindrical head 312, and a first spring 309 is sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 307, with the two ends of the first spring 309 abutting against the tooth seat 308 and the semi-circular sleeve 110 respectively.

[0035] One end of the cylindrical head 312 is threadedly connected to the movable block 311.

[0036] When the pulling frame 303 disengages from the cylindrical head 312, the gear seat 308, under the action of the first spring 309, presses against the gear ring 310, locking the drive shaft 102. At this time, the drive shaft 102, the follower concentric outer shaft 103, and the follower concentric inner shaft 104 rotate synchronously. Since the hook-shaped structure 304 is deep, it will not interfere with the rotating components. When rotation stops, the cylindrical head 312 returns to the hook-shaped structure 304. When the pulling frame 303 moves, the wedge-shaped abutment surface 305 presses against the cylindrical head 312, and the movable block 311 is pulled up, causing the gear seat 308 to disengage from the surface of the gear ring 310. The drive shaft 102, the follower concentric outer shaft 103, and the follower concentric inner shaft 104 are then unlocked, and each shaft can rotate independently.

[0037] For fully automated fiber winding equipment, there are generally two fiber control modules, denoted as Fiber Control Module A and Fiber Control Module B. Fiber Control Module A has a first fiber distribution tray installed, and Fiber Control Module B has a second fiber distribution tray installed. Fiber Control Modules A and B can be arranged at a 90-degree angle depending on the winding method. This mechanism is installed on the fiber control module. The fiber optic ring fixture 8 can be temporarily fitted onto either Fiber Control Module A or Fiber Control Module B. For example, on Fiber Control Module A, during fiber winding, the fiber distribution tray 7, fiber optic ring fixture 8, and fiber guide assembly 9 on Fiber Control Module A rotate synchronously, while only the fiber distribution tray 7 on Fiber Control Module B rotates to release the fiber, thus achieving fiber winding and splicing.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, a motor drive assembly 2 is provided on the base frame 10, a second synchronous pulley 201 is provided at the shaft end of the motor drive assembly 2, a first synchronous pulley 111 is provided at the shaft end of the drive shaft 102, and the first synchronous pulley 111 and the second synchronous pulley 201 are driven by a synchronous belt.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, one end of the follower concentric inner shaft 104 is provided with a snap-fit ​​sleeve 4. The snap-fit ​​sleeve 4 is provided with a plurality of top blocks 402 that can be radially extended and retracted along the snap-fit ​​sleeve 4. The top blocks 402 are used to abut against the inner wall of the fiber optic ring tooling frame 8. The snap-fit ​​sleeve 4 is also provided with an end stop 411, which is used to stop the side wall of the fiber optic ring tooling frame 8.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment, the snap-fit ​​sleeve 4 includes a receiving sleeve 401. One end of the receiving sleeve 401 is provided with a stop shoulder 410. The side wall of the receiving sleeve 401 is provided with a plurality of recesses 409 along the circumferential direction. Each top block 402 is provided in the recesses 409. One end of the top block 402 near the inside of the receiving sleeve 401 is provided with a connecting rod 407. The end of the connecting rod 407 is provided with a wedge block 406. The receiving sleeve 401 is provided with an adjusting cylinder 403. The adjusting cylinder 403 is provided with a second spring 405. The adjusting cylinder 403 is also provided with a telescopic top 404 that can slide along the axis of the receiving sleeve 401. The two ends of the second spring 405 abut against the telescopic top 404 and the adjusting cylinder 403 respectively. The telescopic top 404 abuts against each wedge block 406.

[0041] The snap-fit ​​head 4 is connected to the first mounting part 105. One end of the top block 402 is provided with a guide surface 408. When the fiber optic ring tooling frame 8 is inserted, the guide surface 408 is first squeezed to make the top block 402 retract into the groove 409.

[0042] The snap-fit ​​sleeve 4 has a guide end cap at one end, which abuts against the side of the wedge block 406 to prevent the wedge block 406 from rotating.

[0043] A rubber layer is attached to the outer surface of the top block 402 to increase friction and provide a certain degree of deformability, ensuring the consistency of the pressing state of each top block 402 when the telescopic top head 404 drives the top block 402 in a unified manner.

[0044] The adjusting cylinder 403 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the hollow structure of the receiving sleeve 401, allowing adjustment of the initial force of the second spring 405. The holding force of the second spring 405 causes the telescopic top head 404 to continuously press against each wedge block 406, maintaining the contact pressure of the top block 402 on the inside of the fiber optic ring tooling frame 8, thus preventing the fiber optic ring tooling frame 8 from shifting and from freely rotating relative to the snap-fit ​​sleeve 4.

[0045] In the preferred embodiment, the receiving sleeve 401 has a narrow diameter section at its front end, and the end sleeve 411 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the narrow diameter section. The end sleeve 411 includes an adjusting ring 412, an L-shaped cavity 413 inside the adjusting ring 412, a top bead 417 inside the L-shaped cavity 413 near the outer wall of the adjusting ring 412, a tightening block 414 and a rear stopper 416 inside the L-shaped cavity 413, the tightening block 414 abutting against the top bead 417, and a third spring 415 inside the L-shaped cavity 413, with both ends of the third spring 415 abutting against the tightening block 414 and the rear stopper 416 respectively. The side wall of the fiber optic ring tooling skeleton 8 has an arc-shaped groove 418, and the top bead 417 is inserted into the arc-shaped groove 418.

[0046] The outer wall of the adjusting ring 412 is fitted with a stop ring 419. The stop ring 419 has a through hole located at the outlet of the L-shaped cavity 413. The diameter of the through hole is slightly smaller than that of the top bead 417, and it is used to limit the top bead 417.

[0047] The adjustment ring 412 can be adjusted as a whole to adapt to fiber optic ring tooling skeleton 8 of different widths.

[0048] There are multiple arc-shaped grooves 418, which can be arranged around the circumference of the fiber optic ring fixture skeleton 8. When the fiber optic ring fixture skeleton 8 is fitted onto the snap-fit ​​head 4, there will always be an arc-shaped groove 418 that matches the top bead 417 perfectly.

[0049] In a preferred embodiment, the rear stop 416 is provided with a connecting nozzle 420 that communicates with the L-shaped cavity 413, and the connecting nozzle 420 is provided with a connecting pipe 421 for passing liquid.

[0050] The receiving sleeve 401, adjusting cylinder 403, and follower concentric inner shaft 104 are all provided with through holes in the center and on the side wall of the receiving sleeve 401. One end of the connecting pipe 421 passes through the side wall of the receiving sleeve 401 and is led out from the central through hole for communication with the hydraulic system. Liquid is filled into the space between the clamping block 414 and the rear stop 416 in the L-shaped cavity 413. When the valve of the connecting pipe 421 and the hydraulic system is opened, the clamping block 414 is squeezed, and the liquid can return to the oil tank. At this time, the force of the third spring 415 alone forms the resistance force against the arc-shaped groove 418. When the valve is closed, the liquid cannot return, and the clamping block 414 cannot move backward. Therefore, the hydraulic system changes the locking state of the clamping block 414 by switching the connection state of the connecting pipe 421. This valve is located on the side away from the fiber optic ring fixture frame 8, and does not affect the installation and removal of the fiber optic ring fixture frame 8 and the snap-fit ​​sleeve 4. It allows remote control of the locking or unlocking state of the snap-fit ​​sleeve 4 on the fiber optic ring fixture frame 8. In the unlocked state, when the fiber optic ring fixture frame 8 moves laterally under the drive of a manual or other automatic mechanism, and the force exceeds the snap-fit ​​force of the arc-shaped groove 418 on the top bead 417, the top bead 417 can cause the clamping block 414 to retract, and the fiber optic ring fixture frame 8 can be removed from the snap-fit ​​sleeve 4.

[0051] Example 2:

[0052] The motor drive assembly drives the triple shaft mechanism to rotate via synchronous wheel transmission. The follow-up unlocking mechanism is located directly below the triple shaft structure and controls the locking state of the triple shaft through translational motion.

[0053] The follow-up locking assembly has two locations, which lock the follow-up locking outer shaft and the follow-up locking inner shaft to the drive shaft respectively. The follow-up locking assembly uses a compression spring and a linear bearing guide rod assembly to apply a clamping force to the outer gear ring, realizing the meshing of the outer gear ring and the inner gear ring. The inner gear ring is connected to the drive shaft through a flat key to ensure synchronization, thereby achieving the locking function between the shafts.

[0054] The three concentric shafts—the inner follower shaft, the drive shaft, and the outer follower shaft—are connected by bearings and mounted on a triple-shaft rotating base, allowing for independent and free rotation while maintaining a consistent axis of rotation. The synchronous pulley is fixed to the drive shaft to transmit rotational power to the motor drive assembly. The inner follower shaft is locked to the drive shaft via an inner shaft locking mechanism, while the outer follower shaft is locked to the main shaft via an outer shaft locking mechanism.

[0055] The follower unlocking mechanism includes a translation module and a wedge-shaped fixture mounted on it. The wedge-shaped fixture has two sets of wedge-shaped surfaces, each corresponding to one of the two sets of flange bearing followers. When the wedge-shaped fixture moves in translation under the drive of the translation module, the wedge-shaped surfaces contact and press against the cylindrical surfaces of the flange bearing followers, applying a force perpendicular to the axis of the drive shaft outward to the flange bearing followers. This causes the outer gear ring to disengage from the inner gear ring, thus releasing the follower concentric inner shaft and follower concentric outer shaft from the drive shaft.

[0056] The three concentric shafts—the inner, driving, and outer—are perfectly aligned, arranged from the inside out. Connected by bearings, they rotate independently without interference. Once locked by a locking mechanism, the three shafts rotate synchronously. After unlocking by a locking mechanism, the driving shaft rotates under the synchronous belt drive of the motor, while the inner and outer concentric shafts remain stationary. The locking mechanism uses a spring to press the outer gear ring into engagement with the inner gear ring, thus locking the shafts. The unlocking mechanism uses the translational movement of a wedge-shaped workpiece to pull the outer gear ring outwards, disengaging it from the inner gear ring and unlocking the shafts.

[0057] The above embodiments are merely preferred technical solutions of the present invention and should not be considered as limitations on the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention should be limited to the technical solutions described in the claims, including equivalent substitutions of the technical features described in the claims. That is, equivalent substitutions and improvements within this scope are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.
