Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of optical fiber coating curing, and in particular to a coating machine and a double-layer cured coating preparation process. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of optical communication technology, optical fiber as a basic material has been widely used in many fields. However, optical fiber made of glass or plastic is thin and fragile, and easily damaged. It needs to be double-coated with optical fiber coating to provide strength protection, waterproof and stress buffering.

[0003] In order to meet the actual application needs of optical fiber in different scenarios, the double-layer coating (divided into inner coating and outer coating) coated on the surface of the optical fiber needs to meet different performance indicators. This requires testing and analysis of the physical and chemical properties of the optical fiber coating itself, such as viscosity, density, refractive index and mechanical strength.

[0004] In the prior art, optical fiber coating detection methods (especially mechanical property detection) often make films for the inner and outer coatings separately, and then test various physical and chemical parameters of the films after they are cured. However, in actual applications, on the one hand, the state of the contact surface between the inner and outer coatings will have a stress effect on the optical fiber; on the other hand, the ratio of different inner and outer coating products will also have a great impact on the performance of the finished optical fiber. For example, Chinese Patent 201210523143.1 describes a polyimide numerical coating that can withstand high temperatures of 500°C, while in Chinese Patent 201911369037.0, the double-layer polyimide coating of the same material can only withstand temperatures of 300°C-350°C. Therefore, the parameters detected after the inner and outer coatings are separately made and cured cannot fully reflect the actual application status of the double-layer coating.

[0005] Small-diameter optical fiber products require thinner coating thickness than ordinary optical fiber, but in actual production, after the coating thickness is reduced, the drawing process is often affected by the sudden increase of its breakpoints, and the PT data deteriorates; and under the same size of different inner and outer coating products or the same inner and outer coating products but different thickness ratios, there is still a large gap in their strength, resulting in a significant increase in uncontrollable factors in the actual optical fiber drawing process. Therefore, it is necessary to improve relevant testing methods, prepare double-layer coatings to find the theoretical optimal value of the inner and outer coating ratio, and feedback process adjustments to improve the production quality stability of small-diameter optical fibers. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a coating machine and a double-layer cured coating preparation process to solve the problem in the prior art that the state between the contact surface of the inner coating and the outer coating will produce stress on the optical fiber, so the parameters detected after the inner coating and the outer coating are separately filmed and cured cannot fully reflect the actual application state of the double-layer coating, thereby improving the objectivity of the optical fiber coating detection method and the accuracy of the detection results.

[0051] Before any embodiments of the application are explained in detail, it is to be understood that the application is not limited in its application to the details of construction and the arrangement of components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the above drawings.

[0052] In this application, the terms "comprises", "includes", "has" or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device that includes a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of more restrictions, an element defined by the sentence "comprises a ..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device that includes the element.

[0053] In this application, the term "and / or" is a description of the association relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " in this application generally indicates that the related objects before and after are in an "and / or" relationship.

[0054] In the present application, the terms "connect", "combine", "couple", and "install" may refer to direct connection, combination, coupling, or installation, or indirect connection, combination, coupling, or installation. For example, direct connection refers to two parts or components being connected together without the need for an intermediate piece, and indirect connection refers to two parts or components being connected to at least one intermediate piece respectively, and the two parts or components being connected via the intermediate piece. In addition, "connect" and "couple" are not limited to physical or mechanical connections or couplings, and may include electrical connections or couplings.

[0055] In the present application, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that relative terms (e.g., "about," "approximately," "substantially," etc.) used in conjunction with quantities or conditions include the values ​​and have the meaning indicated by the context. For example, the relative terms include at least the degree of error associated with the measurement of a specific value, the tolerances caused by manufacturing, assembly, and use associated with a specific value, and the like. Such terms should also be considered to disclose a range defined by the absolute values ​​of the two endpoints. Relative terms may refer to plus or minus a certain percentage (e.g., 1%, 5%, 10% or more) of the indicated value. Numerical values ​​that do not use relative terms should also be disclosed as specific values ​​with tolerances. In addition, "substantially" may refer to plus or minus a certain degree (e.g., 1 degree, 5 degrees, 10 degrees or more) on the basis of the indicated angle when expressing a relative angular position relationship (e.g., substantially parallel, substantially perpendicular).

[0056] In this application, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the function performed by a component can be performed by one component, multiple components, one part, or multiple parts. Similarly, the function performed by a part can also be performed by one part, one component, or a combination of multiple parts.

[0057] In the present application, the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "front", "back" and other directional words are described based on the orientation and positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and should not be understood as limiting the embodiments of the present application. In addition, in the context, it is also necessary to understand that when it is mentioned that an element is connected to another element "upper" or "lower", it can not only be directly connected to another element "upper" or "lower", but also indirectly connected to another element "upper" or "lower" through an intermediate element. It should also be understood that directional words such as upper side, lower side, left side, right side, front side, back side, etc. not only represent the positive orientation, but can also be understood as the lateral orientation. For example, the bottom can include directly below, lower left, lower right, lower front, and lower back, etc.

[0058] In the prior art, optical fiber coating detection methods (especially mechanical property detection) often make films of the inner coating and the outer coating separately, and then test various physical and chemical parameters of the films after curing. However, in actual applications, the state of the contact surface between the inner coating and the outer coating will produce stress on the optical fiber, so the parameters detected after the inner coating and the outer coating are made and cured separately cannot fully reflect the actual application state of the double-layer coating. This optical fiber coating detection method is not objective, and the detection results are not accurate.

[0059] In order to solve the above problems, this embodiment provides a coating machine, referring to Figure 1 , including a machine 10, a paint storage unit 20, a scraper assembly 30, a curing assembly and a heating assembly. A coating substrate 11 is provided on the machine 10, and the coating substrate 11 is used to support a glass plate; the paint storage unit 20 is used to store paint, and the paint storage unit 20 includes a first paint tank 21 and a second paint tank 22, and the first paint tank 21 and the second paint tank 22 respectively hold an inner layer of paint and an outer layer of paint; the first paint tank 21 and the second paint tank 22 are both connected to a paint pipeline 23, and the paint pipeline 23 can drip the inner layer of paint and the outer layer of paint onto the glass plate respectively; the scraper assembly 30 includes a scraper 31, and the scraper 31 is slidably arranged above the glass plate, and is used to scrape the inner layer of paint and the outer layer of paint; the curing assembly can cure the inner layer of paint and the outer layer of paint on the glass plate; the heating assembly can heat the inner layer of paint and the outer layer of paint on the glass plate. By simulating the optical fiber through a glass plate, the glass plate can simulate the silica glass fiber material of the bare optical fiber, ensuring that the performance test effect of the prepared double-layer coating is more reliable than the performance parameters of the actual optical fiber coating. Making a double-layer film on the glass plate for testing improves the objectivity of the optical fiber coating detection method and the accuracy of the test results.

[0060] Furthermore, the glass plate is fixed to the machine platform 10 by a clamp. In this embodiment, the clamp can be a spring clamp or an electric pressure rod.

[0061] Furthermore, a cover 12 is provided on the machine 10 to be turned over, and the cover 12 is buckled with the machine 10 to form a sealed chamber, and the curing assembly is provided on the cover 12.

[0063] Furthermore, the scraper assembly 30 further includes two support rods 32, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the coating substrate 11, and the two ends of the scraper 31 are respectively connected to the two support rods 32, and the height of the support rods 32 is adjustable to adjust the distance between the scraper 31 and the glass plate. In this embodiment, the support rod 32 is set as an electric telescopic rod to change the distance between the scraper 31 and the glass plate, thereby changing the scraping thickness of the inner layer and the outer layer of paint.

[0064] Furthermore, a pulley is provided at one end of the support rod 32 connected to the machine 10, and slide rails are provided on both sides of the machine 10. The support rod 32 is slidably provided on the machine 10 through the cooperation of the pulley and the slide rail to scrape the inner layer and the outer layer of paint. In this embodiment, the pulley can be set as an electric pulley, so that the moving speed of the scraper 31 can be controlled.

[0065] Furthermore, a first control panel 13 is provided on the machine 10, and the first control panel 13 is connected to the scraper assembly 30, the curing assembly and the heating assembly to control the height parameter and the sliding parameter of the scraper assembly 30, the curing parameter of the curing assembly (the wavelength parameter of the mercury lamp and the LED lamp) and the heating parameter of the heating assembly. Specifically, the heating assembly is set as a heating lamp or a hot air assembly, and the first control panel 13 can set the heating temperature of the heating assembly.

[0066] Furthermore, a temperature sensor is provided in the sealed cavity for feeding back temperature data in the sealed cavity. The temperature sensor is communicatively connected to the first control panel 13. Specifically, the first control panel 13 also includes a PLC controller (Programmable Logic Controller).

[0067] Furthermore, a paint nozzle 24 is provided at the discharge port of the paint pipe 23, and an air pump 25 is provided on the paint nozzle 24. The air pump 25 can pressurize the first paint tank 21 and the second paint tank 22 respectively, so that the inner layer paint and the outer layer paint are respectively dripped onto the glass plate and the inner layer paint through the paint nozzle 24.

[0068] Furthermore, the first coating tank 21 and the second coating tank 22 are both placed in the main coating tank 26, and the main coating tank 26 contains accumulated liquid, and a heating element is provided in the accumulated liquid, and the heating element is used to heat the accumulated liquid to keep the first coating tank 21 and the second coating tank 22 at a constant temperature. The condensation of the inner layer coating and the outer layer coating in the first coating tank 21 and the second coating tank 22 is avoided, and the clogging of the coating pipeline 23 and the coating nozzle 24 is avoided. Specifically, the temperature of the accumulated liquid is constant at 25°C. Specifically, the heating element can be set as an electric heating rod, etc.

[0069] Furthermore, a second control panel 27 is provided on the main paint tank 26, and the second control panel 27 is communicatively connected with the first paint tank 21, the second paint tank 22 and the heating element.

Specifically, the second control panel is provided with operation buttons for easy operation and adjustment by the staff.

[0070] This embodiment also provides a double-layer cured coating preparation process, which is applied to the above-mentioned coating machine. The process is wet-to-dry coating, see Figure 2 , including the following steps:

[0071] S1, placing a glass plate on the coating substrate 11, adjusting the height of the scraper 31 to a first height, starting the scraper 31 and the first coating tank 21, and evenly scraping the inner coating onto the glass plate;

[0072] S2, using a curing component to cure the inner coating;

[0073] S3, adjusting the height of the scraper 31 to a second height, starting the scraper 31 and the second coating tank 22, and evenly scraping the outer coating onto the inner coating;

[0074] S4. Use a curing component to cure the outer coating.

[0075] Furthermore, the height of the scraper 31 is adjustable, generally 50 μm-500 μm, and the moving speed of the scraper 31 is generally 30 mm / s-300 mm / s.

[0076] Exemplarily, before step S1, the coating machine needs to be checked and cleaned to keep it clean and able to operate normally. Further, in step S1, the first height is set to 125 μm, and the moving speed of the scraper 31 is set to 30 mm / s; in step S2, the curing component selects a 365 nm wavelength LED lamp, and the irradiation time is 10 s; in step S3, the second height is 250 μm, and the moving speed of the scraper 31 is set to 30 mm / s; in step S4, the curing component selects a 365 nm wavelength LED lamp, and the irradiation time is 10 s.

[0077] It should be noted that the dripping of the inner and outer coatings and the movement of the scraper 31 are carried out simultaneously to avoid the accumulation of the inner and outer coatings causing uneven coating layer thickness.

[0078] Further, see Figure 3 The wet-on-wet coating process is as follows: step S2 is replaced by step S20, and the inner layer of coating is heated using a heating component.

[0079] S1, placing a glass plate on the coating substrate 11, adjusting the height of the scraper 31 to a first height, starting the scraper 31 and the first coating tank 21, and evenly scraping the inner coating onto the glass plate;

[0080] S20, heating the inner coating using a heating component;

[0081] S3, adjusting the height of the scraper 31 to a second height, starting the scraper 31 and the second coating tank 22, and evenly scraping the outer coating onto the inner coating;

[0082] S4. Use a curing assembly to cure the outer coating and the inner coating together.

[0083] Furthermore, the heating temperature of the heating component is generally 25°C-100°C.

[0084] Exemplarily, before step S1, the coating machine needs to be checked and cleaned to keep it clean and able to operate normally. Further, in step S1, the first height is set to 125μm, and the moving speed of the scraper 31 is set to 30mm / s; in step S20, the heating component is set to 50℃ and baked for 3min to evaporate part of the low-boiling solvent in the inner coating composition to prevent the mixing of the two coatings and affect the performance test effect; in step S3, the second height is 250μm, and the moving speed of the scraper 31 is set to 30mm / s; in step S4, the curing component selects a mercury lamp with a wavelength of 365nm, and the irradiation time is 10s. The mercury lamp has stronger penetration, which ensures the curing effect of the inner coating in the double-layer wet film.

[0085] The coating machine and double-layer cured coating preparation process provided in this embodiment simulate optical fiber through a glass plate, and make a double-layer film on the glass plate for detection, thereby improving the objectivity of the optical fiber coating detection means and the accuracy of the detection results; using two double-layer cured coating preparation processes of "wet on dry" and "wet on wet", the state and performance of optical fiber using different types of double-layer coatings are simulated. The prepared double-layer coating can be used to detect temperature resistance, wear resistance and corrosion resistance, etc., which improves the convenience of optical fiber coating research and development.
