Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fiber optic patch cord production and collection technology, specifically to an automatic collection device for fiber optic patch cord production. Background Technology

[0002] Fiber optic patch cords are used to connect devices to fiber optic cabling links. They have a thick protective layer and are generally used for connections between optical transceivers and terminal boxes, in applications such as fiber optic communication systems, fiber optic access networks, fiber optic data transmission, and local area networks. A fiber optic patch cord (also called a fiber optic connector) has connector plugs at both ends of the optical cable to achieve active optical path connections; a cable with a plug at one end is called a pigtail. Fiber optic patch cords are similar to coaxial cables, except they lack a braided shielding layer. The center is a glass core for light propagation. Fiber optic patch cords can be classified according to the transmission medium, such as common silicon-based fiber single-mode and multimode patch cords, as well as others using plastic or other materials as the transmission medium. According to the connector structure, they can be classified into various types, such as FC patch cords, SC patch cords, ST patch cords, LC patch cords, MTRJ patch cords, MPO patch cords, MU patch cords, SMA patch cords, FDDI patch cords, E2000 patch cords, DIN4 patch cords, D4 patch cords, etc. After production and assembly, fiber optic patch cords are usually manually coiled and collected.

[0003] Currently, fiber optic patch cords are assembled after production, and then manually coiled and collected. However, manual collection can only collect one fiber optic patch cord at a time, resulting in low efficiency and slow collection speed, which reduces the collection efficiency of the device. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design an automatic collection device for fiber optic patch cord production to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic collection device for fiber optic patch cord production, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that after the existing fiber optic patch cords are produced and assembled, they are usually collected manually by coiling and winding. However, manual collection can only be carried out one fiber optic patch cord at a time, resulting in low efficiency and slow winding and collection speed, which reduces the collection efficiency of the device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an automatic collection device for fiber optic patch cord production, comprising: a base and a servo motor; a winding and collecting structure is provided at the upper end of the base; an installation structure is provided above the base; the winding and collecting structure includes a fixing plate, which is fixedly connected to the upper end of the base; a servo motor is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixing plate; a rotating rod is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor; a winding roller is mounted at the end of the rotating rod away from the servo motor; one end of the fiber optic patch cord can be fixed at the upper end of the winding roller using a first installation unit; a tensioning roller is provided on the right side of the winding roller; the other end of the fiber optic patch cord is fixed at the upper end of the tensioning roller using a second installation unit.

[0006] Preferably, a bevel gear is fixedly provided on the surface of the rotating rod, and a threaded rod is connected to the outside of the bevel gear through tooth meshing. A threaded sleeve is connected to the surface of the threaded rod through threads. One end of the threaded sleeve is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the tensioning roller, and the other end of the threaded sleeve is inserted into the sliding cavity, which is opened inside the fixed plate.

[0007] Preferably, a limiting seat is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded sleeve, and the limiting seat is inserted into a slide rail opened inside the fixed plate, and the limiting seat can slide in the slide rail opened inside the fixed plate.

[0008] Preferably, a fixed seat is fixedly connected to the upper end of the base, a limiting block is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod, the limiting block is inserted into the limiting groove, and the limiting groove is opened inside the fixed seat.

[0009] The take-up roller is provided with a groove for winding and collecting optical fiber jumpers, and the tension roller is provided with a groove corresponding to the take-up roller for winding and collecting optical fiber jumpers.

[0010] Preferably, the mounting structure includes a pressure plate, which is disposed on the upper end of the take-up roller and the tension roller. Movable rods are fixedly connected to both ends of the pressure plate, and the bottom end of the movable rod is inserted into the slot. The slot is opened inside the take-up roller and the tension roller. The first mounting unit and the second mounting unit include a pressure plate, a fastening groove, a movable rod, a slot, and a spring.

[0011] Preferably, the pressure plate has a fastening groove inside for placing one end of the fiber optic patch cord connector, and the movable rod has a through hole inside for the fiber optic patch cord to pass through.

[0012] Preferably, a slider is fixedly connected to the side wall of the movable rod, the slider is inserted into the slide groove, and the slide groove is opened inside the take-up roller and the tension roller.

[0013] Preferably, a mounting base is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod, and mounting bolts are installed inside the mounting base and are installed into the inside of the take-up roller.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0015] The assembled fiber optic patch cord is then attached to the upper ends of the take-up roller and the second mounting unit. The servo motor is then started, driving the rotating rod to rotate, which in turn drives the take-up roller to rotate synchronously. The take-up roller automatically winds up the fiber optic patch cord, eliminating the inefficiency of manual operation. When the servo motor starts and drives the rotating rod, the rotating rod drives the bevel gear fixed to its surface to rotate synchronously. The meshing of the external teeth drives the threaded rod to rotate synchronously. The threaded action causes the threaded sleeve to move synchronously, which in turn drives the tension roller to move synchronously towards the take-up roller. This ensures that the take-up roller maintains a tight state when winding up the fiber optic patch cord, facilitating winding. The tension roller can move synchronously towards the take-up roller, preventing the fiber optic patch cord from being pulled and broken. When the servo motor 112 is started, it drives the rotating rod 212 to rotate, which in turn drives the take-up roller 213 to rotate synchronously. When the take-up roller 213 is used to collect the fiber optic patch cord, the fiber optic patch cord is collected in the groove opened on the take-up roller 213, making collection more convenient and preventing tangling. Through this design, the automatic collection device for fiber optic patch cord production can quickly and conveniently collect fiber optic patch cords, and can maintain the tension of the fiber optic patch cord during the collection process, making the collection efficiency higher. This avoids the low efficiency of the existing manual collection of fiber optic patch cords, and improves the practicality and efficiency of the device.

[0016] When installing the fiber optic patch cord onto the upper end of the take-up roller and tension roller, first pull the pressure plate upward, causing the moving rod to move upward synchronously. Then, pass one end of the fiber optic patch cord through the through hole inside the moving rod. At this time, the spring is in a compressed and stored state. Release the pressure plate, and the spring force will automatically drive the moving rod downward, thereby driving the pressure plate downward to clamp and limit the fiber optic patch cord. The pressure plate has a fastening groove inside for placing one end of the fiber optic patch cord connector. The end of the fiber optic patch cord that passes through the through hole inside the moving rod is engaged in the fastening groove, which can improve the stability of the fiber optic patch cord installation. Through this design, the automatic collection device for fiber optic patch cord production can conveniently fix and limit the position of the fiber optic patch cord when collecting it, improving the practicality and stability of the device.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-8 One embodiment provided by the present invention:

[0028] An automatic collection device for fiber optic patch cord production includes: a base 111 and a servo motor 112. A winding and collecting structure 2 is provided on the upper end of the base 111, and an mounting structure 3 is provided above the base 111. The winding and collecting structure 2 includes a fixing plate 211, which is fixedly connected to the upper end of the base 111. The servo motor 112 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixing plate 211. A rotating rod 212 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 112. A winding roller 213 is mounted on the end of the rotating rod 212 away from the servo motor 112. The upper end of the winding roller 213 can be used by a first mounting unit 214 to collect the fiber optic cable. One end of the jumper is fixed, and a tension roller 215 is provided on the right side of the take-up roller 213. The other end of the fiber optic jumper is fixed at the upper end of the tension roller 215 by the second mounting unit 216. With this design, the two ends of the assembled fiber optic jumper are respectively installed on the upper ends of the take-up roller 213 and the second mounting unit 216. The take-up roller 213 is connected to the rotating rod 212. Then, the servo motor 112 is started to drive the rotating rod 212 to rotate, which in turn drives the take-up roller 213 to rotate synchronously. The take-up roller 213 is used to wind up and collect the fiber optic jumper, so that it can be automatically wound up and collected, avoiding the low efficiency of existing manual operation.

[0029] Furthermore, a bevel gear 217 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the rotating rod 212. A threaded rod 218 is connected to the outside of the bevel gear 217 through tooth meshing. A threaded sleeve 219 is threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded rod 218. One end of the threaded sleeve 219 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the tension roller 215, and the other end of the threaded sleeve 219 is inserted into the slide cavity 220. The slide cavity 220 is opened inside the fixed plate 211. With this design, when the servo motor 112 starts and drives the rotating rod 212 to rotate, the rotating rod 212 drives the table The bevel gear 217, which is fixedly mounted on the surface, rotates synchronously. Under the meshing action of the external teeth, it drives the threaded rod 218 to rotate synchronously. Under the action of the thread, it drives the threaded sleeve 219 to move synchronously, which in turn drives the tension roller 215 to move synchronously towards the take-up roller 213. This ensures that the take-up roller 213 can keep the fiber optic patch cord in a tight state when it is being wound up and collected, making it easy to wind up. Furthermore, the tension roller 215 can move synchronously towards the take-up roller 213, preventing the fiber optic patch cord from being pulled and broken.

[0030] Furthermore, a limiting seat 221 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded sleeve 219. The limiting seat 221 is inserted into a slide rail opened inside the fixed plate 211. The limiting seat 221 can slide in the slide rail opened inside the fixed plate 211. Through this design, when the threaded sleeve 219 moves, the limiting seat 221 slides in the slide rail opened inside the fixed plate 211, thereby limiting the movement of the threaded sleeve 219 and making its movement more stable.

[0031] Furthermore, a fixed seat 224 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the base 111, and a limiting block 222 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 212. The limiting block 222 is inserted into the limiting groove 223, which is opened inside the fixed seat 224. With this design, when the rotating rod 212 rotates inside the fixed seat 224, the limiting block 222 on the surface of the rotating rod 212 rotates synchronously inside the limiting groove 223, thereby limiting the rotation of the rotating rod 212 and making its rotation more stable.

[0032] The take-up roller 213 is provided with a groove for winding and collecting fiber optic patch cords, and the tension roller 215 is provided with a groove corresponding to the take-up roller 213 for winding and collecting fiber optic patch cords. With this design, when the servo motor 112 is started, the rotating rod 212 is driven to rotate, which in turn drives the take-up roller 213 to rotate synchronously. When the take-up roller 213 is used to wind and collect the fiber optic patch cords, the fiber optic patch cords are wound and collected in the grooves on the take-up roller 213, making the collection more convenient and preventing tangling.

[0033] Furthermore, the mounting structure 3 includes a pressure plate 311, which is disposed on the upper end of the take-up roller 213 and the tension roller 215. Movable rods 313 are fixedly connected to both ends of the pressure plate 311, and the bottom ends of the movable rods 313 are inserted into slots 314. The slots 314 are formed inside the take-up roller 213 and the tension roller 215. The first mounting unit 214 and the second mounting unit 216 include a pressure plate 311, a fastening groove 312, movable rods 313, slots 314, and a spring 315. In this design, when the fiber optic patch cord is installed on the upper end of the take-up roller 213 and the tension roller 215, the pressure plate 311 is first pulled upward, which drives the moving rod 313 to move upward synchronously. Then, one end of the fiber optic patch cord is passed through the through hole inside the moving rod 313. At this time, the spring 315 is in a compressed and stored state. The pressure plate 311 is released, and the elastic force of the spring 315 automatically drives the moving rod 313 to move downward, which in turn drives the pressure plate 311 to move downward, so that it clamps and limits the fiber optic patch cord.

[0034] Furthermore, the pressure plate 311 has a fastening groove 312 inside for placing one end of the fiber optic patch cord connector, and the moving rod 313 has a through hole inside for the fiber optic patch cord to pass through. With this design, the pressure plate 311 has a fastening groove 312 inside for placing one end of the fiber optic patch cord connector, and the end of the fiber optic patch cord passing through the through hole inside the moving rod 313 is engaged in the fastening groove 312, which can improve the stability of the fiber optic patch cord installation.

[0035] Furthermore, a slider 316 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the moving rod 313. The slider 316 is inserted inside the slide groove 317, which is opened inside the take-up roller 213 and the tension roller 215. With this design, when the moving rod 313 moves, the slider 316 moves synchronously inside the slide groove 317, thereby limiting the movement of the moving rod 313 and making its movement more stable.

[0036] Furthermore, a mounting base 318 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 212. A mounting bolt 319 is installed inside the mounting base 318 and is installed inside the take-up roller 213. With this design, after multiple sets of fiber optic patch cords have been collected, the mounting bolt 319 can be rotated to remove it from inside the take-up roller 213 and the mounting base 318, making it easy to disassemble the take-up roller 213 from the rotating rod 212 and conveniently remove the collected fiber optic patch cords.

[0037] Working principle:

[0038] The assembled fiber optic patch cord is installed at both ends onto the take-up roller 213 and the upper end of the second mounting unit 216, respectively. Then, the servo motor 112 is started, driving the rotating rod 212 to rotate, which in turn drives the take-up roller 213 to rotate synchronously. The take-up roller 213 automatically winds up and collects the fiber optic patch cord, avoiding the inefficiency of manual operation. When the servo motor 112 starts and drives the rotating rod 212 to rotate, the rotating rod 212 drives the bevel gear 217 fixed on its surface to rotate synchronously. Under the meshing action of the external teeth, the threaded rod 218 rotates synchronously, and under the action of the thread, the threaded sleeve 218 rotates synchronously. The servo motor 112 moves synchronously, causing the tension roller 215 to move synchronously towards the take-up roller 213. This allows the take-up roller 213 to rotate and keep the fiber optic patch cord taut during winding, facilitating winding. The synchronous movement of the tension roller 215 towards the take-up roller 213 prevents the fiber optic patch cord from being pulled or broken. When the servo motor 112 is started, it drives the rotating rod 212 to rotate, which in turn drives the take-up roller 213 to rotate synchronously. When the take-up roller 213 winds up the fiber optic patch cord, it is wound up in the grooves on the take-up roller 213, making collection more convenient and preventing tangling.

[0039] When installing the fiber optic patch cord onto the upper end of the take-up roller 213 and tension roller 215, first pull the pressure plate 311 upward, causing the moving rod 313 to move upward synchronously. Then, pass one end of the fiber optic patch cord through the through hole inside the moving rod 313. At this time, the spring 315 is in a compressed and stored state. Release the pressure plate 311, and the elastic force of the spring 315 will automatically drive the moving rod 313 downward, thereby driving the pressure plate 311 downward to clamp and limit the fiber optic patch cord. The pressure plate 311 has a fastening groove 312 inside for placing one end of the fiber optic patch cord connector. The end of the fiber optic patch cord that passes through the through hole inside the moving rod 313 is engaged in the fastening groove 312, which can improve the stability of the fiber optic patch cord installation. The operation is now complete.

Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as exemplary and non-limiting, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.
