[0033] Example 1

[0034] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2and Figure 4 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention, provides a convenient operation table for an optical fiber fusion splicer, comprising:

[0035] The main body mechanism 100 includes a lifting support plate 101, a loading component 102 adapted to be installed outside the lifting support plate 101, and a mounting component 103 adapted to be installed outside the lifting support plate 101;

[0036] The cooling mechanism 200 includes a cooling groove 201 fixedly connected to the outside of the lifting support plate 101 , and an auxiliary component 202 adapted to be installed on the outside of the cooling groove 201 .

[0037] Specifically, the object-carrying component 102 includes a guide rail 102a fixedly connected to the outer side of the lifting support plate 101, and a slide plate 102b slidably connected to the outer side of the guide rail 102a.

[0038] Furthermore, the object-carrying component 102 further includes a first clamping plate 102c fixedly connected to the outer side of the slide plate 102b, and a tool placing table 102d arranged on the outer side of the slide plate 102b.

[0039] Furthermore, the object-carrying component 102 further includes a slide groove 102e provided inside the slide plate 102b, and a first clamping screw 102f threadedly connected inside the slide plate 102b;

[0040] The guide rail 102a is arranged inside the slide groove 102e.

[0041] Preferably, the object-carrying component 102 further includes a fixing plate 102g fixedly connected to the outer side of the lifting support plate 101, and a second clamping plate 102h fixedly connected to the outer side of the fixing plate 102g;

[0042] The first clamping screw 102f is threadedly connected inside the fixing plate 102g.

[0043] When in use, the welding tool can be stored inside the tool placement table 102d.

[0044] By rotating the first clamping screw 102f to move the first clamping screw 102f away from the fixed plate 102g, the slide plate 102b can be made to slide on the guide rail 102a, so that the first clamping plate 102c and the second clamping plate 102h move away from each other. At this time, the tool placement table 102d is no longer clamped and can slide on the outside of the slide plate 102b, so that the staff can appropriately adjust the position of the tool placement table 102d according to actual usage. After the adjustment is completed, the first clamping screw 102f is tightened again to make the first clamping plate 102c and the second clamping plate 102h approach each other and press the tool placement table 102d, so that the tool placement table 102d can be fixed.

[0045] Example 2

[0046] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 , which is the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that an operation process of installing component 103 is provided.

[0047] Furthermore, the mounting component 103 includes a mounting plate 103 a disposed outside the lifting support plate 101 , and a mounting hole 103 b opened inside the mounting plate 103 a .

[0048] Furthermore, the mounting component 103 further includes an auxiliary plate 103c fixedly connected to the outside of the mounting plate 103a, and a second clamping screw 103d threadedly connected to the inside of the auxiliary plate 103c;

[0049] The auxiliary plate 103 c is slidably connected to the outer side of the lifting support plate 101 .

[0050] When in use, the convenient operating table can be bolted to the back of the optical fiber fusion splicer through the mounting holes 103b of the mounting plate 103a, which is simple and convenient.

[0051] By loosening the second clamping screw 103d, the second clamping screw 103d will no longer press the lifting support plate 101, so that the lifting support plate 101 can slide up and down on the outside of the auxiliary plate 103c. The staff can adjust the height of the lifting support plate 101 in time according to the actual situation. After the adjustment is completed, tighten the second clamping screw 103d again to make the second clamping screw 103d press the lifting support plate 101, thereby completing the fixation of the lifting support plate 101.

[0052] Example 3

[0053] Reference Figure 1 to Figure 5 , which is the third embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is different from the second embodiment in that: an operation process of a cooling mechanism 200 is provided.

[0054] Furthermore, the auxiliary component 202 includes a cover plate 202a hinged on the outside of the cooling groove 201, and a heat dissipation groove 202b opened inside the cover plate 202a.

[0055] Furthermore, the auxiliary component 202 also includes a side plate 202c hinged to the outside of the cover plate 202a, and a buckle 202d slidably connected to the inside of the side plate 202c.

[0056] Specifically, the auxiliary component 202 further includes a push rod 202e slidably connected to the inside of the cooling groove 201, and a rubber pad 202f fixedly connected to the outside of the push rod 202e.

[0057] When in use, the staff can place the fused optical fiber A inside the cooling tank 201, rotate the cover plate 202a and the side plate 202c to cover the top of the cooling tank 201, and after the side plate 202c is fitted with the side of the cooling tank 201, push the buckle 202d to make the buckle 202d snap onto the side of the cooling tank 201, so that the side plate 202c cannot be opened. Figure 5 shown.

[0058] The cover plate 202a can prevent the worker from accidentally touching the tool and causing it to fall into the cooling tank 201 when taking the tool from the tool placement table 102d, thereby damaging the optical fiber A. The heat dissipation groove 202b opened inside the cover plate 202a can allow the heat shrink tube used for welding the optical fiber A to be better cooled in the cooling tank 201.

[0059] When the side plate 202c is in contact with the side surface of the cooling tank 201, the push rod 202e is pushed to move, and the push rod 202e pushes the optical fiber A to move inside the cooling tank 201 through the rubber pad 202f until the side plate 202c is completely in contact with the side surface of the cooling tank 201. The rubber pad 202f pushes the optical fiber A to the corner position inside the cooling tank 201, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 5 shown.

[0060] Compared with the attached Figure 4 The location of optical fiber A, attached Figure 5 In the process, the optical fiber A is squeezed by the rubber pad 202f and the inner wall of the cooling tank 201, so that the two ends of the optical fiber A are clamped and fixed, thereby preventing the optical fiber A from falling off from the inside of the cooling tank 201 during the cooling process.

[0061] In addition, the cooling tank 201 is made of materials that are conducive to heat conduction and heat dissipation, such as metal copper. Since the optical fiber A is pushed to the corner of the cooling tank 201, the heat shrink tube used for welding the optical fiber A can be in contact with the side and bottom of the cooling tank 201, which is more convenient than the attached Figure 4 In the case where the heat shrink tube used for fusing the optical fiber A only contacts the bottom surface of the cooling tank 201, Figure 5 The contact area between the heat shrink tube and the cooling tank 201 is larger, so the cooling effect is better. In addition, since the optical fiber A is fixed at the corner of the cooling tank 201, the side wall and bottom of the cooling tank 201 can be used to plasticize the optical fiber A, so that the optical fiber A will never bend or deform, thereby improving the quality of the finished product of the optical fiber A.

[0062] In summary, by setting up a tool placement table 102d, it is possible to avoid the safety hazards and operational inconveniences caused by the random placement of tools. By setting up a cooling mechanism 200, the heat shrink tube used for fusing optical fiber A can be naturally cooled in a fixed position to prevent it from being deformed or damaged due to random placement during the cooling process, thereby improving the reliability of optical fiber fusion splicing. In addition, during the cooling process, the device can also fix and plasticize optical fiber A, improve the cooling effect of the heat shrink tube, and prevent the tool from falling and damaging optical fiber A.
