Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of optical fiber fusion, and more particularly to a self-cleaning portable optical fiber fusion method and system. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, the application field of high-power laser is expanding, including biological medicine, sensing detection, information confrontation, laser processing, etc. These fields have higher requirements for optical fiber fusion technology, especially in outdoor and emergency situations. The existing portable optical fiber fusion machine integrates the optical fiber fusion machine with the storage box. The handle can drive the entire optical fiber fusion machine and the box to move, achieving portability. However, high-precision and high-efficiency optical fiber fusion machines generally have complex internal structures, requiring intelligent operation systems and high-precision optical systems and mechanical structures. The high-precision optical system is used to realize optical fiber recognition and contour alignment to ensure fusion quality. The discharge voltage and discharge position are automatically corrected by recognizing environmental temperature and air pressure changes. However, the above optical fiber fusion equipment cannot meet the high-cleanness fusion requirements of special optical fibers in outdoor and emergency situations.
[0003] There is a combined optical fiber fusion operation box on the market, which includes a shell, a cavity inside the shell, a stripping mechanism, a second cleaning mechanism, a first cleaning mechanism, a collection mechanism, a cutting mechanism, and a monitoring mechanism. The application can automatically fuse optical fibers, improving the efficiency of optical fiber fusion. The stripping pawl can automatically strip the optical fiber jacket, avoiding the need for manual stripping of the optical fiber, improving fusion efficiency and reducing worker's work intensity. The arc-shaped cotton strip automatically cleans the bare fiber, removing the coating layer on the surface of the bare fiber. The motor and cutting knife can automatically or manually cut the optical fiber. The operator can choose different cutting methods according to the environment. Finally, the scraper can automatically clean the inside of the fusion machine before fusing the bare fiber.
[0004] The optical fiber fusion operation box can automatically clean the bare fiber, removing the coating layer on the surface of the bare fiber, preventing the fiber from being contaminated twice. However, only the optical fiber itself is cleaned, and the fusion environment of the optical fiber is not cleaned, which is affected by the external environment. When the external environment has debris or the air cleanliness is not high, it will cause excessive fusion loss, fiber light overflow, and heat accumulation, which not only affects the optical performance of the system, but also may cause safety accidents and economic losses. Therefore, a self-cleaning portable optical fiber fusion method and system automatically monitor the environmental cleanliness during the optical fiber fusion process, meeting the high-cleanness fusion requirements of special optical fibers in outdoor and emergency situations.
