The optical fiber is mostly stored through a fiber coiling board, on which a fiber coiling track is provided. The fiber coiling track is a groove-shaped track surrounded by multiple circles, which is used to place the optical fiber in the fiber coiling track.

[0053] Embodiment 1:

[0054] Embodiment 1 of the present invention provides a fiber coiling device, such as Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, it includes: a movable rotating slide 1, a fiber storage box 2, a transition part 3 and a fiber discharge ball 4, wherein:

[0055] The movable rotating slide 1 is arranged on the fiber storage box 2, and a fiber outlet 21 is arranged at the lower end of the fiber storage box 2. The transition part 3 is arranged at the lower end of the fiber storage box 2, and a fiber guide hole 31 is arranged at the upper end of the transition part 3. The fiber guide hole 31 is connected to the fiber outlet 21.

[0056] In this embodiment, the fiber storage box 2 is arranged on a movable and rotating slide 1, and the movable and rotating slide 1 drives the fiber storage box 2 to move in any direction on the horizontal plane, and drives the fiber storage box 2 to rotate; based on the above effects, the movable and rotating slide 1 includes an X-axis movable slide, an X-axis track, a Y-axis movable slide, a Y-axis track and a rotating slide, wherein the X-axis movable slide is arranged on the X-axis track and can move along the X-axis track according to instructions, the Y-axis track is arranged at the lower end of the X-axis movable slide, and the Y-axis track is perpendicular to the X-axis track, the Y-axis movable slide is arranged on the Y-axis track and can move along the Y-axis track according to instructions, the rotating slide is arranged at the lower end of the Y-axis movable slide, and the rotating slide can rotate according to instructions, the fiber storage box 2 is arranged at the lower end of the rotating slide, and the X-axis movable slide, the Y-axis track and the rotating slide can realize the movement and self-rotation of the fiber storage box 2 in any direction on the horizontal plane, which is used to adjust the position of the fiber storage box 2.

[0057] The fiber storage box 2 is used for placing optical fibers, and a fiber outlet 21 is connected from the lower end of the fiber storage box 2 to the interior of the fiber storage box 2, and the optical fibers are led out of the fiber storage box 2 through the fiber outlet 21 and led along the fiber leading channel to the lower end of the transition part 3; in this embodiment, the movable rotating slide 1, the fiber storage box 2 and the transition part 3 can be fixedly connected by corresponding screw holes.

[0058] The transition portion 3 is provided with a rolling groove 32 at the lower end, the fiber introduction hole 31 passes through the transition portion 3 and is connected to the rolling groove 32, and the fiber removal ball 4 is rollingly connected to the rolling groove 32; the fiber storage box 2 is used to store optical fibers, and the optical fibers are introduced to the outer contour surface of the fiber removal ball 4 through the fiber outlet 21 and the fiber introduction hole 31, and the fiber removal ball 4 is used to lead out the optical fibers in the fiber storage box 2 by rolling itself; the movable rotary slide 1 is used to adjust the position of the fiber storage box 2 so as to move the fiber removal ball 4 to above the fiber coiling board 5, and the fiber removal ball 4 is used to lead out the optical fibers by rolling itself and place them in the fiber coiling track 51 on the fiber coiling board 5.

[0059] In this embodiment, a rotating shaft is provided on the fiber removal ball 4, one end of which is axially connected to the inner wall of the rolling groove 32 (that is, the rotating shaft can rotate relative to the inner wall); and the other end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor. In order to ensure the stability of rotation, the fiber removal ball 4 can also be penetrated by the rotating shaft, and the fiber removal ball 4 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft. The two ends of the rotating shaft are respectively axially connected to the inner wall of the rolling groove 32, and one end of the rotating shaft is driven by the built-in motor of the device. The motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate, thereby driving the fiber removal ball 4 to roll in the rolling groove 32. The size of the inner wall of the rolling groove 32 is similar to that of the fiber removal ball 4. When the fiber removal ball 4 is placed in the rolling groove 32, the fiber removal ball 4 The distance between the ball 4 and the inner wall of the rolling groove 32 is small, and the fiber row ball 4 is close to the lower port of the fiber lead hole 31. When the optical fiber is led out from the lower port of the fiber lead hole 31, the rolling fiber row ball 4 can exert a force on the optical fiber at the lower port of the fiber lead hole 31, thereby driving the optical fiber to be led out from the lower port of the fiber lead hole 31, and driven by the rotation of the outer surface of the fiber row ball 4, the optical fiber is led from the upper end position of the rolling groove 32 to the outside of the rolling groove 32, and finally led out from the lower end of the fiber row ball 4.

[0060] In this embodiment, the fiber coiling board 5 is used to store optical fibers, and the fiber coiling track 51 is arranged on the fiber coiling board 5. The fiber coiling track 51 is a curved fiber storage groove, and the optical fiber needs to be placed in the fiber storage groove along the direction of the fiber coiling track 51. The existing fiber coiling method is mostly to manually store the optical fiber into the fiber coiling track 51 and fix it by bonding, but because the optical fiber is too long, manual storage is usually too troublesome. In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, this embodiment arranges the fiber coiling device at the upper end of the fiber coiling board 5. In the initial stage, the optical fiber is led out through the fiber coiling device and fixed at the starting position of the fiber coiling track 51, and then the fiber discharge ball 4 is controlled to roll to continuously lead out the optical fiber. At the same time, the relative position between the fiber coiling device and the fiber coiling board 5 is controlled by controlling the moving rotating slide 1, so that the moving direction of the fiber discharge ball 4 moves along the extension direction of the fiber coiling track 51, so that while the optical fiber is continuously led out, the led optical fiber is stored in the fiber coiling track 51 along the extension direction of the fiber coiling track 51. The above device improves the efficiency of optical fiber storage and saves labor costs.

[0061] Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the optical fiber needs to be driven by the fiber row ball 4 during the process of being led out, it is necessary to ensure that the relative position between the optical fiber and the fiber row ball 4 is stable during the rolling process of the fiber row ball 4 to avoid the fiber row ball 4 being unable to drive the optical fiber continuously and stably. Therefore, this embodiment also involves the following designs:

[0062] like Figure 4As shown, a first fiber guide groove 41 is arranged on the outer surface of the fiber row ball 4, and the first fiber guide groove 41 is arranged around the fiber row ball 4. The plane where the first fiber guide groove 41 is located is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the fiber row ball 4. The first fiber guide groove 41 is used for the optical fiber to be routed on the fiber row ball 4. A third fiber guide groove 321 is arranged on the inner side wall of the rolling groove 32, and the third fiber guide groove 321 is arranged opposite to the first fiber guide groove 41, and the first fiber guide groove 41 and the third fiber guide groove 321 are used to limit the position of the optical fiber.

[0063] In this embodiment, the first fiber guide groove 41 can be a V-shaped groove. When the fiber row ball 4 rolls, the first fiber guide groove 41 will limit the optical fiber to prevent the optical fiber from sliding to other positions on the outer surface of the fiber row ball 4. At the same time, the friction between the inner wall of the first fiber guide groove 41 and the optical fiber will drive the optical fiber. When the fiber row ball 4 rolls, the friction force of the inner wall of the first fiber guide groove 41 on the optical fiber will serve as a driving force for pulling the optical fiber.

[0064] Furthermore, since the first fiber guide groove 41 is on the fiber row ball 4, and the first fiber guide groove 41 is a V-shaped groove, if the optical fiber on the first fiber guide groove 41 is directly connected to the fiber coiling track 51, during the rolling of the fiber row ball 4 and the movement of the fiber coiling device, the optical fiber led out of the first fiber guide groove 41 may be subjected to unstable tension and directly act on the optical fiber in the first fiber guide groove 41. The accommodation space of the first fiber guide groove 41 is limited, and the optical fiber cannot be completely accommodated in the first fiber guide groove 41. The unstable tension may cause the optical fiber to detach from the first fiber guide groove 41. In order to avoid the above problems, the present embodiment also involves the following designs:

[0065] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the fiber coiling device also includes a fiber introduction platform 6, wherein: the fiber introduction platform 6 is arranged at the lower end of the transition portion 3, and an avoidance arc groove 61 is arranged on the fiber introduction platform 6, and the avoidance arc groove 61 is used to accommodate the fiber row ball 4, and a second fiber introduction groove 62 is arranged at the lower end of the fiber introduction platform 6, and one end of the second fiber introduction groove 62 extends to the lower end position of the fiber row ball 4 and is correspondingly connected with the first fiber introduction groove 41; the lower end of the fiber introduction platform 6 is used to be placed above the fiber coiling board 5, and the second fiber introduction groove 62 is used for routing the optical fiber led out from the first fiber introduction groove 41, and the second fiber introduction groove 62 is also used to correspond to the fiber coiling track 51 on the fiber coiling board 5, and the optical fiber is led from the second fiber introduction groove 62 to the fiber coiling track 51 under the drive of the fiber row ball 4.

[0066] In this embodiment, the fiber introduction platform 6 is in the shape of a fan-shaped cylinder. When the fiber introduction platform 6 is arranged at the lower end of the transition portion 3, the fan center direction of the fiber introduction platform 6 faces the fiber removal ball 4, and the fiber removal ball 4 is accommodated by the avoidance arc groove 61. At the same time, the lower end position of the fiber introduction platform 6 and the lower end position of the fiber removal ball 4 are basically at the same height. After the optical fiber is led out from the first fiber introduction groove 41, it directly extends to the second fiber introduction groove 62. Since the second fiber introduction groove 62 is arranged on a plane, the groove depth of the second fiber introduction groove 62 can be deeper, and the optical fiber is relatively more stable inside the second fiber introduction groove 62. After the fiber introduction platform 6 is arranged, the optical fiber is led from the second fiber introduction groove 62 to the fiber winding track 51. During the movement of the fiber winding device, the pulling force acting on the optical fiber will be absorbed by the second fiber introduction groove 62 to prevent the optical fiber from falling out.

[0067] In one embodiment, in order to control the fiber arrangement ball 4 to reach a specified position, as Figure 5 As shown, a first camera 33 can also be provided at the lower end of the transition portion 3, and the first camera 33 is located in the extension direction of the second fiber guide groove 62. The first camera 33 is used to more intuitively observe the fiber coiling track 51 below the fiber removal ball 4 during the process of controlling the movable rotating slide 1, so that the operation of positioning the fiber removal ball 4 to the designated position on the fiber coiling track 51 is more intuitive and simple. The operator can adjust the movable rotating slide 1 while photographing the fiber coiling track 51 through the first camera 33, so as to control the fiber removal ball 4 to reach the designated position; on this basis, a lighting lamp 34 can also be provided at the lower end of the transition portion 3 to provide a light source for the first camera 33, so that the imaging effect is better.

[0068] Furthermore, when the optical fiber transitions from the first fiber guide groove 41 at the lower end of the fiber row ball 4 to the fiber coiling track 51, since the first fiber guide groove 41 at the lower end of the fiber row ball 4 and the fiber coiling track 51 cannot be at the same height, in actual use, the optical fiber may be difficult to naturally transition from the fiber coiling track 51 to the fiber coiling track 51, and may even cause the optical fiber to deviate from the predetermined direction. In order to avoid the above problem, the present embodiment also involves the following design:

[0069] like Figure 5 As shown, an arc-shaped boss 63 is provided at one end of the second fiber guiding groove 62 facing away from the fiber discharging ball 4 , and the arc-shaped boss 63 is used to guide the optical fiber in the second fiber guiding groove 62 into the fiber coiling track 51 .

[0070] In this embodiment, when the optical fiber is led from the second fiber lead groove 62 to the position of the arc-shaped boss 63, the arc-shaped boss 63 arches the optical fiber from the second fiber lead groove 62 and arches the optical fiber into the fiber coiling track 51. Since the transition from the second fiber lead groove 62 to the arc-shaped boss 63 is relatively smooth, the optical fiber can be relatively smoothly led from the second fiber lead groove 62 to the fiber coiling track 51, thereby improving the stability of the optical fiber when it is coiled.

[0071] In this embodiment, it is necessary to control the moving rotating slide 1 to drive the fiber arrangement ball 4 to dock with the designated position on the fiber coiling track 51 for fiber insertion, and it is also necessary to drive the fiber arrangement ball 4 to move along the direction of the fiber coiling track 51, so that the optical fiber can be coiled accurately according to the direction of the fiber coiling track 51. In this process, it is necessary to obtain the relative position between the fiber arrangement ball 4 and the fiber coiling track 51 in real time, so as to adjust the position of the fiber arrangement ball 4 accordingly, so this embodiment also involves the following designs:

[0072] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a plurality of optical transceivers 7 are also provided at the lower end of the fiber storage box 2, and the plurality of optical transceivers 7 are distributed around the transition portion 3; the optical transceiver 7 is used to emit optical signals to the fiber coiling board 5, and the direction and position of the fiber coiling track 51 below are determined by the reflected light received by the plurality of optical transceivers 7, and the position of the fiber storage box 2 is adjusted by moving the rotating slide 1 so as to dock the second fiber guide groove 62 with the fiber coiling track 51.

[0073] In this embodiment, eight optical transceivers 7 may be provided at the peripheral position of the transition portion 3, and each optical transceiver 7 emits an optical signal vertically downward. No matter whether the optical signal is emitted into the groove of the fiber coil track 51 or outside the groove, the optical signal will be reflected back to the optical transceiver 7. However, since the groove of the fiber coil track 51 has a certain depth compared to the outside of the groove, the distance between the optical transceiver 7 and the bottom of the groove of the fiber coil track 51 is greater than the distance between the optical transceiver 7 and the outside of the groove of the fiber coil track 51. Therefore, when the optical transceiver 7 emits an optical signal into the groove of the fiber coil track 51 and receives the reflected optical signal, the optical transceiver 7 will emit an optical signal to the groove of the fiber coil track 51. The optical signal takes longer, and the time taken by the optical transceiver 7 to emit an optical signal outside the groove of the fiber coiling track 51 and receive the reflected optical signal is shorter. Therefore, based on the time difference of the reflected light received by each optical transceiver 7, it can be determined whether the position directly below each optical transceiver 7 is inside or outside the groove of the fiber coiling track 51. At the same time, multiple optical transceivers 7 can be used to determine the distribution of the fiber coiling track 51 below the fiber arranging ball 4, so as to obtain the relative position between the fiber arranging ball 4 and the fiber coiling track 51, and accurately control the fiber arranging ball 4 to the specified position of the fiber coiling track 51 to coil the optical fiber.

[0074] Furthermore, in this embodiment, considering that the transition portion 3 itself has a certain height, if the optical signal is emitted from the lower end of the fiber storage box 2 toward the fiber coiling board 5, the distance between the lower end of the fiber storage box 2 and the fiber coiling board 5 is relatively far, and the groove depth of the fiber coiling track 51 is less than the distance between the lower end of the fiber storage box 2 and the fiber coiling board 5. The difference in optical signal intensity caused by the groove depth of the fiber coiling track 51 may be too small, and combined with the error in actual use, it may cause the difference to be difficult to detect. Therefore, it is necessary to minimize the distance between the optical transceiver 7 and the fiber coiling board 5, so as to ensure the intensity of the reflected light received by the optical transceiver 7, so that the optical transceiver 7 is more sensitive to the intensity of the reflected optical signal during the actual detection process, and can more significantly detect the difference between the inside and outside of the groove of the fiber coiling track 51. Therefore, this embodiment also involves the following designs:

[0075] A plurality of extension columns 8 are disposed on the lower surface of the fiber storage box 2 , and one optical transceiver 7 is disposed on each of the extension columns 8 .

[0076] In this embodiment, the optical transceiver 7 is disposed at the lower end of the extension column 8 and the distance between the optical transceiver 7 and the fiber tray 5 is reduced by the extension column 8, so that the intensity of the optical signal received by the optical transceiver 7 is stronger and the optical signal reflected back is more sensitive, thereby more accurately detecting the fiber tray track 51 on the fiber tray 5.

[0077] It should be noted that in actual use, positioning can be achieved through the first camera 33 and the lighting lamp 34; positioning can also be achieved through the optical transceiver 7; or, rough positioning can be achieved through the first camera 33 and the lighting lamp 34, and then the lighting lamp 34 is turned off (to avoid interfering with the light emitted by the optical transceiver 7), and precise positioning can be achieved through the optical transceiver 7. The specific selection can be based on actual conditions and is not limited here.

[0078] Embodiment 2:

[0079] This embodiment provides a method for using a fiber coiling device based on the embodiment 1, which is used for application on the fiber coiling device as described in the embodiment 1. Fig.10 As shown, including:

[0080] In step 101 , the position of the fiber storage box 2 is adjusted by moving the rotating slide 1 so as to move the fiber discharge ball 4 to above the fiber coiling board 5 and to correspond to the fiber coiling track 51 .

[0081] In this embodiment, the fiber storage box 2 is arranged on a movable and rotating slide 1, and the movable and rotating slide 1 drives the fiber storage box 2 to move in any direction on the horizontal plane, and drives the fiber storage box 2 to rotate; based on the above effects, the movable and rotating slide 1 includes an X-axis movable slide, an X-axis track, a Y-axis movable slide, a Y-axis track and a rotating slide, wherein the X-axis movable slide is arranged on the X-axis track and can move along the X-axis track according to instructions, the Y-axis track is arranged at the lower end of the X-axis movable slide, and the Y-axis track is perpendicular to the X-axis track, the Y-axis movable slide is arranged on the Y-axis track and can move along the Y-axis track according to instructions, the rotating slide is arranged at the lower end of the Y-axis movable slide, and the rotating slide can rotate according to instructions, the fiber storage box 2 is arranged at the lower end of the rotating slide, and the X-axis movable slide, the Y-axis track and the rotating slide can realize the movement and self-rotation of the fiber storage box 2 in any direction on the horizontal plane, which is used to adjust the position of the fiber storage box 2.

[0082] In step 102 , the optical fiber in the fiber storage box 2 is guided to the outer contour surface of the fiber arrangement ball 4 through the fiber outlet 21 and the fiber guiding through hole 31 .

[0083] In step 103, the optical fiber is led out by rolling the fiber discharge ball 4 and placed in the fiber coiling track 51 on the fiber coiling board 5, and the fiber discharge ball 4 is moved along the extension direction of the fiber coiling track 51 by adjusting the movable rotating slide 1, so that the led-out optical fiber is stored along the extension direction of the fiber coiling track 51.

[0084] In this embodiment, the fiber discharge ball 4 is pierced by a rotating shaft, and the two ends of the rotating shaft are respectively connected to the inner wall of the rolling groove 32, and the rotating shaft is driven by a built-in motor. The motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate, thereby driving the fiber discharge ball 4 to roll in the rolling groove 32. The size of the inner wall of the rolling groove 32 is similar to the size of the fiber discharge ball 4. When the fiber discharge ball 4 is placed in the rolling groove 32, the distance between the fiber discharge ball 4 and the inner wall of the rolling groove 32 is small, and the fiber discharge ball 4 is close to the lower end of the fiber lead hole 31. When the optical fiber is led out from the lower end of the fiber lead hole 31, the rolling fiber discharge ball 4 can exert a force on the optical fiber at the lower end position of the fiber lead hole 31, thereby driving the optical fiber to be led out from the lower end of the fiber lead hole 31, and driven by the rotation of the outer surface of the fiber discharge ball 4, it is led from the upper end position of the rolling groove 32 to the outside of the rolling groove 32, and finally led out from the lower end of the fiber discharge ball 4.

[0085] In this embodiment, the fiber coiling board 5 is used to store optical fibers, and the fiber coiling track 51 is arranged on the fiber coiling board 5. The fiber coiling track 51 is a curved fiber storage groove. The optical fiber needs to be placed in the fiber storage groove along the direction of the fiber coiling track 51. The existing fiber coiling method is to manually store the optical fiber in the fiber coiling track 51 and fix it by bonding. However, since the optical fiber is too long, manual storage is usually too troublesome. Therefore, the fiber coiling device is arranged on the upper end of the fiber coiling board 5. In the initial stage, the optical fiber is led out through the fiber coiling device and fixed at the starting position of the fiber coiling track 51. Then, the fiber discharge ball 4 is controlled to roll to continuously lead out the optical fiber. At the same time, the relative position between the fiber coiling device and the fiber coiling board 5 is controlled by controlling the moving rotating slide 1, so that the moving direction of the fiber discharge ball 4 moves along the extension direction of the fiber coiling track 51, so that while the optical fiber is continuously led out, the led optical fiber is stored in the fiber coiling track 51 along the extension direction of the fiber coiling track 51. The above device improves the efficiency of optical fiber storage and saves labor costs.

[0086] Furthermore, in this embodiment, it is necessary to control the moving rotating slide 1 to drive the fiber row ball 4 to connect and lead the fiber with the specified position on the fiber coiling track 51, and it is also necessary to drive the fiber row ball 4 to move along the direction of the fiber coiling track 51, so that the optical fiber can be accurately coiled according to the direction of the fiber coiling track 51. The problem is that the relative position between the fiber row ball 4 and the fiber coiling track 51 needs to be obtained in real time, so as to adjust the position of the fiber row ball 4 accordingly. Therefore, this embodiment also involves the following designs:

[0087] The fiber storage box 2 is also provided with a plurality of optical transceivers 7 at the lower end thereof, and the plurality of optical transceivers 7 are distributed around the transition portion 3. The method for using the optical transceiver 7 is as follows: Fig.11 As shown: the fiber arrangement ball 4 is moved along the extension direction of the fiber coil track 51 by adjusting the movable rotary slide 1, which specifically includes:

[0088] In step 201 , an optical signal is emitted to the fiber tray 5 via the optical transceiver 7 .

[0089] In step 202 , the distance from the surface of the fiber tray 5 below to the corresponding optical transceiver 7 is determined by the time difference of the reflected light received by each optical transceiver 7 , thereby determining the height of the current fiber arrangement ball 4 relative to the fiber tray 5 .

[0090] In step 203, after the height of the fiber removal ball 4 is adjusted to a suitable position relative to the fiber coiling board 5, a rectangular wave adapted to the fiber coiling track 51 is constructed through the intensity of reflected light received by each optical transceiver 7, and the consistency of the current orientation of the fiber removal ball 4 with the fiber coiling track 51 below is determined, and fine-tuning is completed.

[0091] like Fig. 9As shown, it is a top view of a plurality of extended columns 8 and a plurality of optical transceivers 7 located directly above the fiber coil track 51 for emitting optical signals. It can be seen from the figure that the optical signals emitted from some of the optical transceivers 7 will be emitted to the fiber coil track 51 directly below. Fig. 9 The optical transceiver 7 whose middle portion is not located directly above the fiber coiling track 51 is used in the initial positioning stage or when the fiber coiling track 51 is in a bent position.

[0092] It should be noted that the rectangular wave means: when the fiber row ball 4 is located directly above the corresponding fiber coiling track 51 and the direction of the fiber row ball 4 is the same as the extension direction of the corresponding fiber coiling track 51, the reflected light intensity received by each optical transceiver 7 can construct a rectangular wave that is compatible with the fiber coiling track 51. If the compatible rectangular wave cannot be constructed, it means that the fiber row ball 4 is not directly above the corresponding fiber coiling track 51, or the direction of the fiber row ball 4 is not consistent with the extension direction of the corresponding fiber coiling track 51.

[0093] Furthermore, since the optical signal emitted by the optical transceiver 7 will inevitably diffuse to a certain extent during the transmission process, if the height of the fiber removal ball 4 is relatively high relative to the fiber tray 5, the light spot of the optical signal emitted by the optical transceiver 7 will be larger, making it difficult to construct a rectangular wave with a clear outline based on the reflected light received by each optical transceiver 7, affecting the accuracy of the detected rectangular wave, thereby affecting the judgment during actual operation; therefore, it is necessary to adjust the height of the fiber removal ball 4 relative to the fiber tray 5 to a suitable position, specifically, the suitable position is that the arc boss 63 is 1-3mm higher than the surface of the fiber tray 5; the suitable distance is to ensure that: through micro-operation, the reflected light received by each optical transceiver 7 can construct a rectangular wave with a clear outline more quickly, so that the actual operation can be simpler and faster.

[0094] By performing micro-manipulation on the movable rotating slide 1, wherein the micro-manipulation includes one or more of clockwise rotation, counterclockwise rotation, left translation and right translation, the laser spots of one or more optical transceivers 7 are respectively moved between different fiber coil tracks 51 of the fiber coil board 5, thereby constructing a rectangular wave constructed by the reflected light intensity.

[0095] The left translation and right translation are relative to the extension direction of the fiber coil track 51. The diameter of the laser spot of the optical transceiver 7 is smaller than the slot width of the fiber coil track 51; in the process of moving the fiber row ball 4, it is necessary to ensure that the intensity of the reflected light received by each optical transceiver 7 can always construct a rectangular wave, so as to ensure that the fiber row ball 4 is always located directly above the fiber coil track 51 and moves along the extension direction of the fiber coil track 51.

[0096] Since the movable rotating slide 1 needs to be manually operated when positioning the fiber removal ball 4 to the starting position of the fiber winding track 51, in order to further facilitate the use of the operator, a second camera can be set at the lower end of the fiber storage box 2, and the second camera is located in the extension direction of the second fiber guide groove 62. Through the second camera, the fiber winding track 51 below the fiber removal ball 4 can be observed more intuitively during the process of controlling the movable rotating slide 1, so that the operation of positioning the fiber removal ball 4 to the starting position of the fiber winding track 51 is more convenient; it is worth mentioning that when the second camera is too close to the fiber winding track 51, it is difficult for the second camera to form a clear image. Therefore, in actual use, the height of the fiber removal ball 4 can be adjusted higher first, and the fiber removal ball 4 can be roughly positioned by observing the second camera, and then the height of the fiber removal ball 4 can be lowered to be close to the fiber winding track 51, so that the arc boss 63 is 1-3mm higher than the surface of the fiber winding board 5, and the second camera can be turned off at this time. Then, the laser spots of one or more optical transceivers 7 are moved between different fiber coil tracks 51 of the fiber coil board 5, so as to construct a rectangular wave constructed by the reflected light intensity to achieve precise positioning.

[0097] 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 and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
