Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of optical fiber fusion splicing, and in particular to a portable optical fiber fusion splicing operation platform. Background Art

[0002] Optical fiber is a solid glass material, consisting of three parts: core, cladding, and coating. The core is located in the center of the optical fiber and is made of high-purity silica, i.e. glass. The cladding is located around the core and is also made of high-purity silica. The coating is the outermost layer of the optical fiber and is made of acrylate, silicone rubber, and nylon.

[0003] When welding optical fibers, both ends of the optical cable need to be straightened. Use a utility knife or special tools to strip the protective layer of the optical cable at about 80cm to 100cm from the end of the optical cable, remove the coreless tape group, and leave 10cm of the reinforcing core to fix the optical cable. Fix the stripped optical cable on the fixing equipment of the joint box to ensure that the optical cable is firmly fixed. Bend the reinforcing core 90 degrees to prevent pulling and damaging the fiber core. Strip the outer layer of the optical fiber, and be careful not to damage the internal structure of the optical fiber. Use cotton and alcohol to clean the end face of the optical fiber to ensure that the end face is clean and free of impurities. Use a precision optical fiber cleaver to cut the optical fiber to ensure that the cut end face is flat and free of defects such as cracks and burrs. Turn on the power of the welding machine and select the appropriate welding method and procedure. Place the optical fiber in the V-groove of the welding machine and carefully press the optical fiber pressure plate and optical fiber clamp. Set the welding parameters according to the type of optical fiber, such as pre-discharge time, main discharge time, etc. Close the windshield and press the welding key to weld. During the welding process, the welding machine will automatically estimate the loss value. After the welding is completed, the welding point is heated using the welding machine heating furnace to shrink the heat shrink tubing and protect the welding point.

[0030] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention can be implemented in many different ways as defined and covered by the claims.

[0031] The following is combined with Figure 1-4 The embodiments of the present invention are described in further detail.

[0032] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 ,This embodiment provides a technical solution: a portable optical fiber fusion splicing work platform, comprising: a workbench 1 and a conveying mechanism 8;

[0033] The workbench 1 has a plurality of movable grooves on the top thereof for limiting the movement of the optical fiber. The workbench 1 provides a stable fixed connection for the structure placed on the top thereof. The conveying mechanism 8 is arranged on the outer wall of the workbench 1. The conveying mechanism 8 can assist the movement of the optical fiber, thereby reducing the burden on the operator.

[0034] The conveying mechanism 8 includes a fixed block 801 connected to the outer wall of the workbench 1 by bolts, and the fixed block 801 can effectively fix the structure above. A bearing is welded at the central part of the fixed block 801, which can provide the structure engaged in the bearing with stable rotation, and the guide rod 802 is vertically welded above the fixed block 801. The guide rod 802 can provide the structure on the rod with stable vertical displacement on the fixed block 801, and a fixed plate 803 is vertically slidably connected to the guide rod 802. The fixed plate 803 can move on the guide rod 802 to adjust the height. A threaded hole is opened at the central part of the fixed plate 803, which can drive the fixed plate 803 to move stably on the guide rod 802 during the rotation of the internal structure.

[0035] The threaded screw 804 is rotatably connected inside the threaded hole of the fixing plate 803. During the rotation, the threaded screw 804 can drive the outer fixing plate 803 to perform stable height position adjustment. The bottom end of the threaded screw 804 is engaged and fixed in the bearing of the fixing block 801, which can provide the threaded screw 804 with stable rotation. The handle 805 engaged and fixed at the top of the threaded screw 804 is convenient for the operator to hold and rotate, thereby driving the threaded screw 804 connected below to rotate synchronously. The bidirectional motor 806 connected by bolts below the fixing plate 803 can drive the bidirectional motor 806 connected below to move in the vertical direction at the same time during the vertical movement of the fixing plate 803.

[0036] The connecting shaft 807 connected to the output ends on both sides of the bidirectional motor 806 can drive the connecting shaft 807 on the output ends on both sides to rotate. During the rotation of the connecting shaft 807, it can drive the structure connected to the shaft to rotate synchronously. The gear block 808 fixed on the connecting shaft 807 can drive the optical fiber attached below to move horizontally during the rotation.

[0037] According to the size of the optical fiber, the height of the gear block 808 is adjusted, and the handle 805 is held and rotated, thereby driving the threaded screw 804 connected to the handle 805 to rotate stably inside the fixed block 801, so that the rotation of the threaded screw 804 drives the fixed plate 803 to move stably in the vertical direction on the guide rod 802. During the movement of the fixed plate 803, the bidirectional motor 806 connected below will be driven to move synchronously. When it moves to the specified position, the bidirectional motor 806 is started, and the bidirectional motor 806 will drive the connecting shaft 807 connected to the output end to rotate. The connecting shaft 807 can drive the gear block 808 to rotate. During the rotation of the gear block 808, the optical fiber placed under the gear block 808 will be driven to move.

[0038] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 , This embodiment provides a technical solution: a portable optical fiber fusion working platform, including: a sheath collecting chamber 2, a bare fiber collecting chamber 3, a wiping tank 4, a fusion machine body 5, a cutter 6 and a stripping block 7;

[0039] The sheath collecting chamber 2 is opened above the workbench 1, and the sheath collecting chamber 2 can collect the produced optical fiber skin for subsequent unified cleaning. The bare fiber collecting chamber 3 is opened above the workbench 1, and the bare fiber collecting chamber 3 can collect the cut optical fiber debris for subsequent unified cleaning, and the bare fiber collecting chamber 3 is arranged on one side of the sheath collecting chamber 2, and can quickly perform subsequent stripping work after the optical fiber cutting work is completed. The wiping groove 4 is opened above the workbench 1, and the wiping groove 4 can clean the surface of the optical fiber to prevent subsequent surface impurities from damaging its interior.

[0040] The four sides of the fusion splicer body 5 are connected to the workbench 1 by bolts. Turn on the power of the fusion splicer body 5 and select the appropriate fusion splicing method and program. Place the optical fiber in the slot of the fusion splicer and carefully press the optical fiber pressing plate and the optical fiber clamp. Set the fusion splicing parameters according to the optical fiber type, such as pre-discharge time, main discharge time, etc. Close the windshield and press the fusion key to perform fusion splicing.

[0041] The cutter 6 is bolted above the feed slot of the sheath collection chamber 2. The blade of the cutter 6 can rotate in the vertical direction. When the optical fiber moves downward, the cutting work can be performed by rotating the cutter 6. The stripping block 7 is bolted above the feed slot of the bare fiber collection chamber 3. An inclined blade is arranged inside the stripping block 7. When the optical fiber moves, it contacts the stripping block 7, thereby stripping the optical fiber.

[0042] When one end of the optical fiber moves through the feed trough to the inside of the wiping trough 4, the surface will be cleaned. When the optical fiber moves through the feed trough to the cutter 6, the cutter 6 will cut one end of the optical fiber through the rotation of the cutter 6 to keep it flat, and the impurities cut out will fall into the inside of the bare fiber collection chamber 3 for collection. When the optical fiber moves through the feed trough to the stripping block 7, the stripping block 7 will separate the skin of the optical fiber through the movement of the optical fiber, and the separated skin will fall into the inside of the sheath collection chamber 2 for collection. Subsequently, the optical fiber is placed in the inside of the fusion splicer body 5 to carry out subsequent fusion splicing work.

[0043] The implementation principle of a portable optical fiber fusion working platform of the present invention is:

[0044] The height of the gear block 808 is adjusted according to the size of the optical fiber, and the handle 805 is rotated, thereby driving the threaded screw 804 connected to the handle 805 to rotate stably inside the fixed block 801, so that the rotation of the threaded screw 804 drives the fixed plate 803 to move stably in the vertical direction on the guide rod 802. During the movement of the fixed plate 803, the bidirectional motor 806 connected below will be driven to move synchronously.

[0045] When it moves to the specified position, the bidirectional motor 806 is started, and the bidirectional motor 806 will drive the connecting shaft 807 connected to the output end to rotate. The connecting shaft 807 can drive the gear block 808 to rotate. During the rotation of the gear block 808, the optical fiber placed under the gear block 808 will be driven to move.

[0046] When one end of the optical fiber moves through the feed trough to the inside of the wiping trough 4, the surface will be cleaned. When the optical fiber moves through the feed trough to the cutter 6, the cutter 6 will cut one end of the optical fiber through the rotation of the cutter 6 to keep it flat, and the impurities cut out will fall into the inside of the bare fiber collection chamber 3 for collection. When the optical fiber moves through the feed trough to the stripping block 7, the stripping block 7 will separate the skin of the optical fiber through the movement of the optical fiber, and the separated skin will fall into the inside of the sheath collection chamber 2 for collection. Subsequently, the optical fiber is placed in the inside of the fusion splicer body 5 to carry out subsequent fusion splicing work.

[0047] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the invention.
