DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiment of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiment of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiment is only a part of the embodiment of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other arbitrarily. In addition, although the logical order is shown in the flow chart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be performed in an order different from that here.

[0021] In order to solve the problem of low efficiency of manual repair of optical fiber coloring, the embodiment of the present application provides a method for repairing optical fiber of FTTR, and the repaired optical fiber can be used in FTTR network. The following is a brief introduction to the application scenarios to which the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application can be applied. It should be noted that the application scenarios introduced below are only used to illustrate the embodiment of the present application and are not limited. In the specific implementation process, the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application can be flexibly applied according to actual needs.

[0022] Please refer to Figure 1 , is a schematic diagram of an application scenario provided by an embodiment of the present application, the optical fiber coloring system includes a controller, a first coloring and curing device, a meter wheel, a first detection device, a second coloring and curing device, and a second detection device. The controller is used to control the start and stop of other devices.

[0023] The first coloring and curing device and the second coloring and curing device both include a coating device and a curing furnace. The coating device is used to color the bare optical fiber. The coating device is composed of an ink storage tank, an ink delivery pipe, an air pressure regulating valve, an optical fiber clamping device, a coating module, a constant temperature heating device, a temperature measuring device, etc. Coating mold specifications: inlet mold (0.260), outlet mold (0.260). The structural design of the coating device is pressure coating. The pressure output by the air pressure regulating valve (using high pressure 0.2~0.5MPa) squeezes the ink in the ink storage tank through the delivery pipe into the coating mold. The optical fiber begins to contact with the ink. After passing through the coloring mold, the ink forms a uniform coating film on the optical fiber. The constant temperature heating device is used to heat the ink at a constant temperature, which can make the ink have good flow properties, which is more conducive to coloring.

[0024] The curing furnace is used to cure the bare optical fiber with ink coating. The curing furnace is composed of a furnace body, a reflector, a high-pressure mercury lamp, a quartz glass tube, an exhaust hood, etc. The curing furnace is an open-and-close structure, which can facilitate the disassembly and replacement of the quartz tube and the high-pressure mercury lamp. The bare optical fiber with ink coating enters the curing furnace and is cured under the irradiation of ultraviolet light. In order to obtain a better degree of curing, nitrogen protection is required during the operation of the curing furnace.

[0025] In a possible embodiment, the optical fiber coloring system includes an optical fiber pay-off component, which is a walking cantilever shaft structure, and an AC servo motor is directly connected to a ball screw to drive the pay-off reel to rotate, so that the optical fiber reel shaft rotates to realize active pay-off of the optical fiber. The clamp adopts a special closed pneumatic clamping device to ensure smooth, safe and reliable pay-off.

[0026] In a possible embodiment, the optical fiber coloring system includes a traction device, which is directly driven by an AC servo motor to drive a guide wheel (traction wheel), and the purpose of pulling the optical fiber is achieved through the friction between the flat belt and the guide wheel (traction wheel), so that after the optical fiber is paid out through the pay-off drum, it passes through the first coloring and curing device, the meter wheel, the first detection device, the second coloring and curing device, the second detection device in sequence along each guide wheel, and finally is taken up by the take-up drum.

[0027] In a possible embodiment, the optical fiber coloring system further includes a pay-off and pay-off tension control device, which adopts a dancer structure, and the dancer is equipped with an analog proximity switch, which functions to detect the pay-off and pay-off tension of the optical fiber in real time and feed back an adjustment signal. The optical fiber tension can be adjusted by adjusting the damper cylinder through a precision pressure reducing valve.

[0028] In a possible embodiment, the optical fiber coloring system also includes an anti-static device, which is arranged before the first coloring and curing equipment. Before coloring and before winding, the anti-static device uses an air source type anti-static eliminator to eliminate static electricity and dust on the surface of the optical fiber.

[0029] In a possible embodiment, the main parameters of the optical fiber coloring system are set as follows: The coloring speed is 2400m / min, the take-up speed is 2500m / min, and the coating thickness is , the wiring pitch is 0.05±0.01mm, the power supply is 20Kw, and the compressed air pressure is 0.5Mpa.

[0030] Combination Figure 2 The present application also provides an optical fiber repair method applicable to the above FTTR, wherein the method steps defined in the process related to the optical fiber repair method of the FTTR can be implemented by a controller.

[0031] The following will Figure 2 The specific process shown is explained in detail.

[0032] S201. When the bare optical fiber passes through a first coloring and curing device, the first coloring and curing device is controlled to color and cure the bare optical fiber to obtain a colored optical fiber.

[0033] In a specific implementation process, the first coloring and curing equipment includes a coating device and a curing furnace. The bare optical fiber is colored by the coating device, and the optical fiber with the ink coating is cured by the curing furnace to obtain a colored optical fiber.

[0034] S202: When part of the colored optical fiber passes through the first detection device, control the first detection device to collect images of the part of the optical fiber.

[0035] In the specific implementation process, the first detection device includes a light source and a camera. The light source includes a ring light source and a backlight source, wherein the ring light source is arranged in a ring-shaped distribution around the optical fiber to provide multi-angle lighting, ensuring that the color, texture and other details of the optical fiber surface can be clearly illuminated. The optical fiber of the backlight source is illuminated from the back of the optical fiber, and its main function is to form a backlight effect. When the optical fiber penetrates the optical fiber from the back, the internal structure of the optical fiber can be clearly displayed, such as the core of the optical fiber, the boundary of the cladding, the propagation path, impurities, bubbles, and internal defects of the discontinuity of the core, which can be presented in the form of a silhouette.

[0036] The camera uses a high-resolution industrial camera that can capture tiny defects on the surface of the optical fiber. The camera lens uses a macro lens, and its focal length and working distance are optimized to ensure that the details of the optical fiber can be clearly photographed. When part of the colored optical fiber passes through the detection area of ​​the first detection device, the camera collects images of part of the optical fiber at a preset frequency (e.g., 50 frames / second).

[0037] In a possible embodiment, when part of the colored optical fiber passes through the first detection device, the brightness of the light source is adjusted according to the color of the colored optical fiber; and under the illumination of the light source, the camera is controlled to capture images of the part of the optical fiber.

[0038] In a specific implementation process, the controller can determine the color of the colored optical fiber according to the color of the ink used by the first coloring and curing device to color the bare optical fiber, and adjust the brightness of the light source according to the color of the colored optical fiber to adapt to different detection scenarios. An example is given below.

[0039] 1. The ink is white and the colored optical fiber is white optical fiber.

[0040] When detecting tiny defects on the surface of white optical fiber, such as dust particles or slight scratches, due to the high reflectivity of white to light, if the light source brightness is too high, the reflected light may be too strong, covering up the details of the defect. At this time, the brightness of the ring light source should be appropriately reduced. The brightness of the ring light source can be set between 30%-50% so that the intensity of the reflected light is moderate and the condition of the outer surface of the optical fiber can be clearly observed. At the same time, for the backlight source, if you want to observe the internal structure of the white optical fiber, since the white optical fiber itself has good light transmittance, the backlight brightness can be appropriately increased to 60%-80% to better display the internal structure such as the core and cladding boundary.

[0041] 2. The ink is black and the colored optical fiber is black optical fiber.

[0042] Black has a strong ability to absorb light. When inspecting the outer surface of black optical fiber, in order to make the surface details clearly visible, a higher brightness of the ring light source is required. Generally, the brightness can be adjusted to 70%-90%. Because only bright enough light can make the black surface produce enough reflected light to make scratches, bumps and other details appear. When using a backlight to inspect the internal structure, since black absorbs more optical fiber, even if the backlight brightness is high, the light transmission effect may not be as good as white optical fiber. At this time, the backlight brightness can be adjusted to about 70%, and combined with high-resolution detection equipment to better observe the internal situation.

[0043] 3. The ink is red and the colored optical fiber is red optical fiber.

[0044] When inspecting the appearance of red optical fiber, the brightness of the ring light source can be set at 50%-70% because the absorption and reflection characteristics of red light are different from those of white and black. This brightness range can balance the intensity of the reflected light on the surface of the red optical fiber, so that the details of the surface can be clearly presented. For backlight inspection of internal structure, due to the light transmittance and color interference of red optical fiber, the brightness of the backlight source can be adjusted to about 50%-60%, focusing on observing the effect of red on the light path when light propagates inside the optical fiber, so as to determine whether the internal quality of the optical fiber meets the requirements.

[0045] Considering that different colored optical fibers may reflect or transmit different light intensities under different lighting conditions, if the brightness of the light source is too strong, the surface of some optical fibers may be overexposed and details may be lost. If the brightness is too low, the image may be dim and it may be difficult to capture clear features. In the embodiment of the present application, by adjusting the brightness of the light source, it is possible to ensure that optical fibers of different colors have the best lighting conditions when the camera captures the image, thereby improving the contrast and clarity of the image, reducing the loss of optical fiber surface details, and facilitating subsequent analysis and detection. It can also avoid unnecessary excessive lighting, which not only helps to extend the service life of the light source, but also saves energy.

[0046] S203: Obtain color detection results of the partial optical fibers according to the images of the partial optical fibers.

[0047] In a possible embodiment, an image of an optical fiber region is extracted from an image of a portion of the optical fiber; in a preset color space, based on the image of the optical fiber region, the color unevenness and color saturation of the portion of the optical fiber, and the color difference between the actual color of the portion of the optical fiber and the standard reference color are calculated; and based on the color unevenness, color saturation and color difference, a color detection result of the portion of the optical fiber is obtained.

[0048] In the specific implementation process, the image of part of the optical fiber includes the optical fiber area and the background area. First, the image of part of the optical fiber is preprocessed by cropping, denoising, scaling, etc. to obtain the image of the optical fiber area. Then the image of the optical fiber area is converted into RGB (red, green, blue) space or HSV (hue, saturation, brightness) space, and the RGB value difference between each pixel in the image of the optical fiber area and its adjacent pixels (such as up, down, left, and right) is calculated, usually using the Euclidean distance, and the mean of the color difference of all pixels is calculated to obtain the color unevenness of part of the optical fiber. The smaller the color unevenness, the more uniform the color of the optical fiber, and the larger the color unevenness, the more uneven the color of the optical fiber. The controller can convert the image of part of the optical fiber from the RGB space to the HSV space, calculate the average value of the saturation channel of all pixels in the image of the optical fiber area, and obtain the color saturation of part of the optical fiber. The higher the color saturation, the brighter the color of the optical fiber.

[0049] The controller is pre-stored with standard coloring data of optical fibers of different types and colors. The ink color used by the first coloring and curing device to color the bare optical fiber can be used as the standard reference color, and the data of the standard reference color (such as RGB value) can be obtained from the standard coloring data of the optical fiber. In the RGB space, the straight-line distance (Euclidean distance) between the color of part of the optical fiber and the standard reference color is calculated, and the straight-line distance is used as the color difference.

[0050] Furthermore, if the color unevenness is less than or equal to the preset uniformity, the color saturation is greater than or equal to the preset saturation, and the color difference is less than or equal to the preset threshold, the color detection result of some optical fibers is qualified; if the color unevenness is greater than the preset uniformity, or the color saturation is less than the preset saturation, or the color difference is greater than the preset threshold, the color detection result of some optical fibers is unqualified.

[0051] In the embodiment of the present application, the deviation of the optical fiber color from the standard color can be accurately identified, avoiding errors caused by visual fatigue or subjective judgment in manual inspection. By combining multiple aspects such as color unevenness, color saturation and color difference, the color quality of the optical fiber can be more comprehensively detected to ensure that the optical fiber color meets the standard requirements.

[0052] S204: If the color detection results of some optical fibers are unqualified, determine the position range of some optical fibers.

[0053] In a possible embodiment, the optical fiber coloring system further includes a meter wheel, which is disposed between the first coloring and curing device and the first detection device. If the color detection result of some optical fibers is unqualified, the number of rotations of the meter wheel is obtained; the moving distance of the colored optical fiber is obtained according to the number of rotations and the circumference of each rotation of the meter wheel; the position range of some optical fibers is determined according to the moving distance, the first distance between the meter wheel and the entrance of the first detection device, and the second distance between the entrance and the exit of the first detection device.

[0054] In a specific implementation process, since the circumference of the meter wheel per rotation is fixed, the moving distance of the colored optical fiber can be obtained by multiplying the number of rotations of the meter wheel by the circumference of the meter wheel per rotation. Since the first distance between the meter wheel and the entrance of the first detection device is fixed, and the second distance between the entrance and the exit of the first detection device is fixed, the minimum value of the position range of the partial optical fiber is obtained by subtracting the first distance and the second distance from the moving distance, and the maximum value of the position range of the partial optical fiber is obtained by subtracting the first distance from the moving distance of the colored optical fiber.

[0055] For example, the moving distance of the colored optical fiber is L, the first distance is L1, and the second distance is L2, then the position range of the partial optical fiber is (L-L1-L2, L-L1).

[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, when the color detection results of some optical fibers are unqualified, the position of the unqualified optical fibers can be accurately determined by using the number of revolutions of the meter wheel and the related distance data. This helps production line personnel to identify the problem in a timely manner and quickly locate the specific location range of the unqualified optical fibers, avoiding wasting a lot of time on large-scale inspections.

[0057] In a possible embodiment, if the color detection results of some optical fibers are unqualified, the number of pulse signals emitted by the meter wheel is obtained; the number of rotations of the meter wheel is obtained according to the number of pulse signals and the fixed number of pulses emitted per rotation of the meter wheel.

[0058] In the specific implementation process, when the meter wheel rotates, the photoelectric encoder inside it will generate a pulse signal. The number of pulse signals is proportional to the rotation angle of the meter wheel. The number of pulses emitted per rotation of the meter wheel is fixed. The number of rotations of the meter wheel can be obtained by dividing the total number of pulse signals by the fixed number of pulses emitted per rotation of the meter wheel.

[0059] In the embodiment of the present application, the number of revolutions of the meter wheel can be accurately determined by the number of pulses, which helps to accurately determine the specific location range of the unqualified optical fiber later.

[0060] S205. When the colored optical fiber passes through the second coloring and curing device, the second coloring and curing device is controlled to re-color and cure part of the optical fiber according to the position range to obtain a repaired optical fiber.

[0061] In a specific implementation process, when the colored optical fiber passes through the second coloring and curing device, if the color detection result of some optical fibers in the colored optical fiber is qualified, the controller can control the coating device of the second coloring and curing device to re-color the part of the optical fiber according to the position range, and control the curing furnace of the second coloring and curing device to re-cure the re-colored optical fiber to obtain a repaired optical fiber, and the repaired optical fiber can be subsequently applied to the FTTR network. If the color detection result of some optical fibers in the colored optical fiber is qualified, the controller does not start the coating device and the curing furnace of the second coloring and curing device, and some optical fibers can pass through the second coloring and curing device normally.

[0062] For example, the controller determines that the position range of the unqualified part of the optical fiber is 50 meters to 51 meters, and when the colored optical fiber passes through the second coloring and curing device, the coloring rework operation is performed at the position of 50 meters to 51 meters.

[0063] In a possible embodiment, when the colored optical fiber passes through the second coloring and curing device, according to the position range, the second coloring and curing device is controlled to re-color and cure part of the optical fiber to obtain the repaired optical fiber, and the method further includes: When the repaired optical fiber passes through the second detection module, the second detection module is controlled to collect an image of the repaired optical fiber, and a color detection result and a defect detection result of the repaired optical fiber are obtained based on the image of the repaired optical fiber; a detection report is generated based on the color detection result and the defect detection result of the repaired optical fiber.

[0064] In the specific implementation process, the second detection module can perform color detection based on the image of the repaired optical fiber to obtain the color detection result of the repaired optical fiber. The specific color detection process is the same as the processing process of the first detection module, which will not be repeated here. Furthermore, the second detection module can also perform defect detection based on the image of the repaired optical fiber to obtain the defect detection result of the repaired optical fiber, and finally generate a detailed test report based on the color detection result and defect detection result of the repaired optical fiber. The report content includes the basic information of the optical fiber (including manufacturer name, specification model, length, diameter, color), color detection results, and defect detection results (including defect list). The test report can be output in PDF and Excel format for user storage and reference.

[0065] Considering that the recolored and cured optical fiber is still unqualified due to low efficiency, in the embodiment of the present application, the recolored optical fiber is color-checked again, and at the same time, the optical fiber image is used for defect detection, so as to timely find the color and defect problems of the optical fiber, generate a test report, avoid it from entering the next production stage or delivery, and reduce quality risks. The staff can perform secondary repairs based on the test report to improve the accuracy and efficiency of the optical fiber repair work, and finally use the successfully repaired optical fiber for the FTTR network.

[0066] In a possible embodiment, an image of a repaired optical fiber is input into a trained defect detection model to obtain a defect detection result of the repaired optical fiber; the trained defect detection model is obtained by training based on an optical fiber sample set; the optical fiber sample set includes multiple optical fiber images and a label for each optical fiber image; the label is used to indicate the defect position and defect type of the optical fiber in each optical fiber image.

[0067] In the specific implementation process, the defect detection model can be a convolutional neural network (CNN), which collects a large number of defective and non-defective optical fiber images in advance as optical fiber sample sets, and annotates the defect position and defect type of the optical fiber in each optical fiber image.

Avoid errors caused by visual fatigue or subjective judgment in manual detection, reduce the demand for detection personnel and repair personnel, and reduce the labor cost of the enterprise.
