[0002] During the manufacturing process of optical fiber preform, after the OVD sintering process to dehydrate and high-temperature sintering into a transparent optical fiber preform, it is necessary to perform operations in the front-end processing process to heat and soften the lower part of the preform into a cone to facilitate customers to draw optical fibers.

[0003] During the sintering process, the lower handle bar will bend relative to the main body of the preform rod as the preform rod shrinks and becomes transparent. After the preform rod reaches the front end processing process, the lower chuck of the front end processing equipment will easily break the lower handle bar when clamping the lower handle bar that has been bent too much.

[0021] In a third aspect, the present application provides a method for correcting the bending of a preform rod, which uses the preform rod bending correction system as described in the second aspect above to perform correction.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of the present application has at least the following beneficial technical effects:

[0023] 1. The detection device of the present application is provided with a first detection component and a second detection component. In the first detection component, the first laser emitter emits a first light beam with a set width. For the standard handle bar, its axis is coaxial with the axis of the preform rod. When the standard handle bar is placed in the optical path of the first light beam and its axis coincides with the reference axis, the first light beam is partially blocked by the standard handle bar. At this time, the first laser receiver receives part of the first light beam and uses the width of the part of the first light beam as the reference parameter. When the handle bar to be tested is tested, if the width of the part of the first light beam received by the first laser receiver changes, it indicates that the handle bar to be tested is offset in the second straight line direction compared with the standard handle bar, that is, the handle bar to be tested is bent relative to the preform rod in the second straight line direction, so that it can be judged whether the handle bar to be tested is bent in the second straight line direction, and according to the increase or decrease of the width of the first light beam received by the first laser receiver, the specific bending direction of the handle bar to be tested in the second straight line direction can be judged. Similarly, the second detection component can be used to judge whether the handle bar to be tested is bent in the first straight line direction, and the specific bending direction of the handle bar to be tested in the first straight line direction can be judged, so as to realize the judgment of whether the handle bar of the prefabricated board is bent. At the same time, based on the width of the first light beam received by the first laser receiver and the corresponding reference parameters, the width of the second light beam received by the second laser receiver and the corresponding reference parameters, and the distance between the first light beam, the second light beam and the preform rod in the axial direction of the reference axis, the angle between the handle rod axis and the preform rod axis, as well as the specific bending direction can be calculated to achieve accurate detection of the bending direction and degree of the handle rod under test.

[0024] 2. The detection device of the present application makes the width of the first light beam in the second straight line direction and the width of the second light beam in the first straight line direction not less than the diameter of the handle bar, and makes the reference axis equal to the boundary distances on both sides of the first light beam in the second straight line direction, and equal to the boundary distances on both sides of the second light beam in the first straight line direction. When the first light beam is blocked by the handle bar to be measured, the first laser receiver receives two discontinuous first light beams in the second straight line direction. The widths of the two first light beams can be compared with the corresponding width reference values ​​to more accurately determine the degree and direction of bending of the handle bar to be measured in the second straight line direction. Similarly, the widths of the two second light beams received by the second laser receiver can be compared with the corresponding width reference values ​​to more accurately determine the degree and direction of bending of the handle bar to be measured in the first straight line direction.

[0025] 3. The preform rod handle bar bending correction system of the present application detects whether the detected handle bar is bent through a detection device and a controller, and controls the start or operation of a heating device through the controller. When the heating device is started, the handle bar is heated to soften it. Since the axis of the preform rod is vertical, the handle bar will return to the state of vertical axis under the action of gravity after being heated and softened, thereby achieving correction of the bent handle bar. The operator can control whether to start the heating through the controller according to the detection result of the bending of the handle bar by the cooperation of the controller and the detection device, so as to start the heating device to correct the handle bar when it is bent, so as to clamp the handle bar with the lower chuck of the front processing equipment and avoid breaking the handle bar.

[0036] Reference Figure 1-2 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a preform rod handle bending detection device, which includes a first detection component and a second detection component.

[0037] Reference Figure 1-2As shown, the first detection component includes a first laser emitter 1 and a first laser receiver 2. The first laser emitter 1 is used to emit a first light beam along a first straight line direction, and the first light beam has a set width in a second straight line direction perpendicular to the first straight line direction. The first laser receiver 2 is used to receive the first light beam. The first laser emitter 1 and the first laser receiver 2 are arranged on both sides of a reference axis in a radial direction. The reference axis is perpendicular to both the first straight line direction and the second straight line direction and is located in the optical path of the first light beam.

[0038] Reference Figure 1-2 As shown, the second detection component includes a second laser emitter 3 and a second laser receiver 4. The second laser emitter 3 is used to emit a second light beam along a second straight line direction, and the second light beam has a set width in the first straight line direction. The second laser receiver 4 is used to receive the second light beam. The second laser emitter 3 and the second laser receiver 4 are arranged on both sides of the reference axis in the radial direction, and the reference axis is located in the optical path of the second light beam.

[0039] Wherein, when setting the reference axis position and the width of the first light beam and the second light beam, the standard handle bar whose axis coincides with the axis of the preform rod 7 is located in the optical path of the first light beam and the second light beam, and when the axis of the standard handle bar coincides with the reference axis, the first light beam and the second light beam are partially blocked by the standard handle bar. During detection, the handle bar to be tested is placed in the optical path of the first light beam and the second light beam, and the axis of the preform rod 7 connected to the handle bar to be tested is coincident with the reference axis. According to the comparison result of the width data of the first light beam blocked by the handle bar to be tested received by the first laser receiver 2 and the corresponding reference parameter, it is judged whether the handle bar to be tested is bent relative to the preform rod 7 in the second straight line direction, and according to the comparison result of the width data of the second light beam blocked by the handle bar to be tested received by the second laser receiver 4 and the corresponding reference parameter, it is judged whether the handle bar to be tested is bent relative to the preform rod 7 in the first straight line direction.

[0040] For the standard handle bar located in the optical path of the first light beam and the second light beam, the first laser receiver 2 and the second laser receiver 4 respectively receive the first light beam and the second light beam blocked by the standard handle bar, and the width of the light beams received by the first laser receiver 2 and the second laser receiver 4 is used as the reference parameter. For the handle bar to be measured located in the optical path of the first light beam and the second light beam, if it is bent relative to the preform 7, the axis of the handle bar to be measured will be offset relative to the axis of the standard handle bar, and at this time, the width of the first light beam blocked by the handle bar to be measured received by the first laser receiver 2 changes relative to the reference parameter, and / or the width of the second light beam blocked by the handle bar to be measured received by the second laser receiver 4 changes relative to the reference parameter. Therefore, by comparing the width data of the first light beam blocked by the handle bar to be measured received by the first laser receiver 2 with the corresponding reference parameter, it can be determined whether the handle bar to be measured is bent relative to the preform 7 in the second straight line direction, and by comparing the width data of the second light beam blocked by the handle bar to be measured received by the second laser receiver 4 with the corresponding reference data, it can be determined whether the handle bar to be measured is bent relative to the preform 7 in the first straight line direction.

[0041] Reference Figure 1-2 As shown, in order to more accurately determine the bending direction and bending angle of the handle bar under test relative to the preform rod 7, the width of the first light beam in the second straight line direction and the width of the second light beam in the first straight line direction are not less than the diameter of the handle bar. At the same time, the reference axis is equidistant from the two side boundaries of the first light beam in the second straight line direction, and equidistant from the two side boundaries of the second light beam in the first straight line direction.

[0042] Through this setting, for the standard handle bar located in the optical path of the first light beam and the second light beam, after the first light beam and the second light beam are blocked by the standard handle bar, the first laser receiver 2 receives two discontinuous first light beams in the second straight line direction, the two first light beams have the same width and are used as the reference parameter, and the second laser receiver 4 receives two discontinuous second light beams in the first straight line direction, the two second light beams have the same width and are used as the reference parameter. When detecting the handle bar to be tested, the handle bar to be tested is located in the optical path of the first light beam and the second light beam. If it is bent relative to the preform rod 7, the axis of the handle bar to be tested will be offset relative to the axis of the standard handle bar. At this time, the width of the two first light beams blocked by the handle bar to be tested received by the first laser receiver 2 changes relative to the reference parameter, and / or the width of the two second light beams blocked by the handle bar to be tested received by the second laser receiver 4 changes relative to the reference parameter, and the specific bending direction and bending degree of the handle bar to be tested in the second straight line direction can be determined according to the specific changes of the two first light beams relative to the reference parameter, and the specific bending direction and bending degree of the handle bar to be tested in the first straight line direction can be determined according to the specific changes of the two second light beams relative to the reference parameter. Therefore, the bending degree and bending direction of the handlebar under test in the first straight line direction and the second straight line direction can be determined more accurately.

[0043] In this embodiment, the first light beam and the second light beam are located in a plane perpendicular to the reference axis. In actual detection, the distance between the first light beam and the second light beam in the axial direction of the reference axis and the preform rod 7 connected to the handle bar to be detected is a known parameter. By establishing a spatial coordinate system with the first straight line direction and the second straight line direction as the X-axis and the Y-axis and the reference axis as the Z-axis, the bending direction of the axis of the handle bar to be detected relative to the axis of the preform rod 7 and the angle between the axis of the handle bar to be detected and the axis of the preform rod 7 can be calculated based on the detection data, and the specific bending degree of the handle bar to be detected can be calculated. The operator can determine whether correction is required based on the specific bending degree of the handle bar to be detected.

[0044] Reference Figure 1-3 As shown, an embodiment of the present application further provides a preform rod handle bending correction system, comprising the preform rod handle bending detection device and the heating device 5 and the controller 6 as described above.

[0045] Reference Figure 1-3 As shown, the first straight line direction and the second straight line direction are both horizontal, and the reference axis is vertical. At this time, when the axis of the preform rod 7 connected to the tested handle bar coincides with the reference axis, the axis is in a vertical state, and when the tested handle bar is bent, it is in a late state relative to the vertical axis. A heating device 5 is provided to heat the handle bar to soften the handle bar, and restore the softened handle bar to a vertical state through gravity.

[0046] During the front end processing, the preform rod 7 is usually clamped and moved by the spindle moving unit, and the preform rod 7 is kept in a vertical state. The lower handle bar passes through the front end processing furnace 8 from top to bottom and is clamped and fixed by the clamp 9. Therefore, the present application sets a preform rod handle bar bending detection device and a heating device 5 according to the state of the preform rod 7 when entering the front end processing equipment. When the preform rod 7 enters the front end processing equipment and the lower handle bar is not clamped by the clamp 9 of the front end processing equipment, the preform rod handle bar bending detection device is used to detect whether the handle bar is bent, and the heating device 5 is started to correct the handle bar when it is bent, so as to ensure that the clamp 9 can safely clamp the lower handle bar.

[0047] Reference Figure 1-3 As shown, the first laser receiver 2, the second laser receiver 4 and the heating device 5 are all connected to the controller 6. The controller 6 determines whether the measured handle bar is bent relative to the preform rod 7 in the second straight line direction according to the width data of the first light beam received by the first laser receiver 2, and determines whether the measured handle bar is bent relative to the preform rod 7 in the first straight line direction according to the width data of the second light beam received by the second laser receiver 4. The controller 6 is also used to control the heating device 5 to start or stop.

[0048] Reference Figure 1-3 As shown, specifically, when the handle bar to be tested reaches the set position of the front-end processing equipment and is not clamped by the clamp 9, the first laser receiver 2 and the second laser receiver 4 respectively receive the first light beam and the second light beam blocked by the handle bar to be tested, and obtain the width data of the first light beam and the second light beam received, and transmit the data to the controller 6. The controller 6 has a built-in program algorithm and database, compares the width data of the first light beam received by the first laser receiver 2 with the reference data, and compares the width data of the second light beam received by the second laser receiver 4 with the reference data, so as to determine whether the handle bar to be tested is bent relative to the preform 7 in the first straight line direction and the second straight line direction. The controller 6 determines whether to start the heating device 5 according to the comparison result. When the handle bar to be tested is bent relative to the preform 7, the controller 6 controls the heating device 5 to start heating the handle bar to be tested to soften it, so that the handle bar to be tested is restored to the state of vertical axis under the action of gravity. While the preform 7 enters the front-end processing equipment for normal processing procedures, the bending detection and correction work of the handle bar to be tested can be automatically completed, without the need to perform bending detection and correction on the handle bar to be tested separately, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0049] Furthermore, in the case where the bending degree of the handle bar to be measured is small, it is not easy to cause the breakage when the chuck 9 clamps the handle bar to be measured, and the handle bar to be measured may not be corrected at this time. Therefore, the controller 6 is configured to calculate the angle between the axis of the handle bar and the axis of the preform 7 according to the width of the first light beam received by the first laser receiver 2 and the corresponding reference parameter, and the width of the second light beam received by the second laser receiver 4 and the corresponding reference parameter, and control the heating device 5 to start when the angle exceeds the set value. Specifically, the distance between the first light beam and the second light beam in the axial direction of the reference axis and the preform 7 connected to the handle bar to be measured is a known parameter. The controller 6 calculates the angle between the axis of the handle bar to be measured and the axis of the preform 7 according to the width of the first light beam received by the first laser receiver 2 and the corresponding reference parameter, and the width of the second light beam received by the second laser receiver 4 and the corresponding reference parameter, through the built-in software algorithm, so as to judge the bending degree of the handle bar to be measured. When the angle between the axis of the handle bar to be measured and the axis of the preform 7 exceeds the set value, the controller 6 controls the heating device 5 to start heating and correcting the handle bar to be measured. When the bending degree of the handle bar to be tested is small, the handle bar to be tested does not need to be corrected, thereby reducing the number of working steps and improving production efficiency.

[0050] Reference Figure 3 As shown, further, the heating device 5 adopts a hydrogen-oxygen flame heating device 5, and when the heating device 5 is set, since the end of the rod close to the preform rod 7 is bent relative to the preform rod 7 when the rod is bent, the heating device 5 is set at the end of the rod close to the preform rod 7. The end of the rod close to the preform rod 7 is heated by the heating device 5 to soften it, and the rod can be restored to the vertical state of the axis under the action of gravity.

[0051] This embodiment also provides a method for correcting the bending of a preform rod, which uses the preform rod bending correction system as described above to perform correction.

[0052] The method for correcting the bending of the preform rod described here is as described in the above embodiment, and for the sake of simplicity, it will not be repeated here.

[0053] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
