[0002] Optical fiber is often used by telephone companies to transmit telephone, Internet, or cable TV signals. Sometimes, all of the above signals can be transmitted simultaneously using a single optical fiber. With the rapid development of optical fiber transmission product technology, there are more and more power engineering construction projects. Optical fiber products are widely used in the power field and the market demand is increasing. However, the optical fiber itself is thin and easy to break. When embedding the product, multiple strands need to be embedded in parallel at the same time, which can easily cause large errors during manual operation. In the existing technology, if you want to collect multiple strands of optical fiber side by side, you usually have to manually wind the multiple strands of optical fiber onto a wire reel. However, the length of the optical fiber is often between 1,000 and 2,000 meters. The efficiency of manual winding is too low and the error is high. Summary of the invention
[0003] In order to improve the winding efficiency of multiple optical fibers and reduce errors, the present application provides a device for dividing, arranging, and measuring the length of multiple optical fibers.
[0004] In the first aspect, the present application provides an optical fiber multi-strand splitting, arranging, and length measuring device, which adopts the following technical solution: A multi-strand optical fiber branching, arranging, and length-metering device, comprising a raw material wire feeding mechanism, a wire arranging mechanism, a metering mechanism, a cutting mechanism, and a finished product winding mechanism, wherein the raw material wire feeding mechanism comprises a raw material wire feeding frame, a first mounting frame is fixedly connected to the raw material wire feeding frame, a wire feeding motor is fixedly connected to the first mounting frame, a first fixed shaft is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the wire feeding motor, and the optical fiber is wound on the first fixed shaft; the wire arranging mechanism comprises a wire arranging frame, a multi-stage wire row is fixedly connected to the wire arranging frame, and the multi-stage wire row gathers the optical fibers step by step to be parallel and side by side; the finished product winding mechanism comprises a finished product frame, a fifth mounting frame is fixedly connected to the finished product frame, a wire take-up motor is fixedly connected to the fifth mounting frame, a second fixed shaft is mounted on the output shaft of the wire take-up motor through a detachable component, and the cut optical fiber is wound on the second fixed shaft.
[0005] By adopting the above technical solution, when winding multiple strands of optical fiber, the wire feeding motor is started, the wire feeding motor drives the first fixed shaft to rotate, the first fixed shaft drives the optical fiber to rotate, and the wire release is realized. The sent optical fiber enters the wire rack and is located in the wire groove of the multi-stage wire row, and is collected step by step through the multi-stage wire row to be arranged side by side, and then enters the metering mechanism for length measurement. After the length measurement is completed, the cutting mechanism cuts the optical fiber, and the wire taking-up motor is started at this time, and the wire taking-up motor drives the second fixed shaft to rotate, and the second fixed shaft winds the optical fiber, thereby realizing the collection of the cut optical fiber; thereby conveniently realizing the intact branching of the optical fiber and the neat arrangement of multiple strands, improving the winding efficiency of multiple optical fibers, and reducing errors.

The segmented combination of optical fibers can balance the dispersion accumulation and avoid the influence of nonlinear effects or pulse broadening on long-distance transmission. Since different types of optical fibers are used in the use of side-by-side optical fibers, and different types of optical fibers are often wound on different fixed axes, when optical fibers of the same type are arranged side by side, a first fixed axis can be driven to rotate by a wire feeding motor.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the relationship between the type of optical fiber and the first fixed axis is mainly reflected in the installation, wiring and maintenance of the optical fiber.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, when installing the second fixed shaft, first insert the output shaft and the limit block of the wire feeding motor into the rotating groove and the limit groove respectively, and then manually rotate the adjusting screw, the adjusting screw drives the abutment block to approach the sixth mounting frame, and pushes the sixth mounting frame to move toward the second fixed shaft until the connecting shaft is installed in the bearing on the sixth mounting frame; thereby facilitating the removal of the second fixed shaft after the wire collection is completed.
[0016] Optionally, the cutting mechanism includes a cutting frame, which is installed on the ground, and a third mounting frame is fixedly connected to the cutting frame, and a cutting knife is slidably connected to the third mounting frame via a power component, and a PLC controller is also installed on the third mounting frame, and the PLC controller is communicatively connected to the metering mechanism. The cutting frame is also installed with a clamping assembly, and the clamping assembly includes a fourth mounting frame, and the fourth mounting frame is fixedly connected to the cutting frame, and a roller is rotatably connected to the fourth mounting frame, and a cylinder is fixedly connected to the piston shaft of the cylinder.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, when the measured optical fiber reaches a preset length, the cylinder is started, and the cylinder drives the clamping plate to move toward the roller, and then the clamping plate and the roller cooperate to clamp the side-by-side optical fibers, and the metering mechanism transmits a signal to the PLC controller, and the PLC controller controls the power component to drive the cutting knife to move, and the cutting knife cuts the optical fiber, thereby achieving the clamping of the optical fiber before cutting, so that the cutting knife can cut the side-by-side optical fibers more smoothly.
[0018] Optionally, the power assembly includes a cutting motor, which is mounted on the third mounting frame. A lead screw is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the cutting motor. A slider is also slidably connected to the third mounting frame. A lead screw nut is installed in the slider, and the lead screw nut cooperates with the lead screw. The slider is fixedly connected to the cutting knife.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, when cutting parallel optical fibers, the PLC controller controls the cutting motor to start, the cutting motor drives the lead screw to rotate, the lead screw drives the slider to slide through the lead screw nut, and the slider drives the cutting knife to cut the parallel optical fibers.

The second mounting frame is also fixedly connected to a signal converter, the signal converter is communicatively connected to the resistance signal device, and the signal converter is communicatively connected to the PLC controller.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the side-by-side optical fibers output from the multi-stage conductor array will enter the synchronous flexible wheel, and as the optical fibers move, the synchronous flexible wheel will rotate accordingly, and the synchronous flexible wheel will drive the rotating shaft to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft will generate a resistance signal in the resistance signal device, and the resistance signal will be converted by the signal converter and input into the PLC controller. At this time, the cutting knife will cut the optical fiber, and the optical fiber of a preset length can be obtained.
[0022] In a second aspect, the present application provides a method for collecting side-by-side optical fibers, which adopts the following technical solution: A method for collecting side-by-side optical fibers, comprising the following steps: Step 1: After the equipment is installed, multiple optical fibers on the first fixed axis are manually pulled out, and gathered and arranged side by side through a multi-stage conductor row. Multiple wire feeding motors and the first fixed axis can be installed according to different optical fiber models; Step 2: The gathered and aligned optical fibers are fixed on the second fixed axis through the metering mechanism and the cutting mechanism, and are wound twice, so that the optical fibers on the second fixed axis are kept side by side and the cross-sections are neat. At the same time, since the distance between the metering mechanism and the second fixed axis remains unchanged, the length of the optical fibers wound twice and the length between the metering mechanism and the second fixed axis are subtracted when inputting the metering length; Step 3: Start the wire feeding motor and the wire taking-up motor at the same time. The wire feeding motor drives the first fixed shaft to rotate to feed the wire, and the wire taking-up motor drives the second fixed shaft to rotate to take up the wire. The metering mechanism measures the length of the taken-up wire. When the predetermined metering length is reached, the cutting mechanism cuts the optical fiber. Step 4: Remove the second fixed shaft from the fifth mounting frame through the detachable assembly to collect the side-by-side optical fibers of a predetermined length; then install the unloaded second fixed shaft onto the fifth mounting frame to continue collecting the side-by-side optical fibers.
[0023] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects: 1. When winding multiple strands of optical fiber, the wire feeding motor starts, the wire feeding motor drives the first fixed shaft to rotate, the first fixed shaft drives the optical fiber to rotate, and the wire is released. The sent optical fiber enters the wire rack and is located in the wire groove of the multi-stage wire row, and is collected step by step through the multi-stage wire row to be arranged side by side, and then enters the metering mechanism for length measurement. After the length measurement is completed, the cutting mechanism cuts the optical fiber, and the wire taking-up motor starts at this time, and the wire taking-up motor drives the second fixed shaft to rotate, and the second fixed shaft winds the optical fiber, thereby realizing the collection of the cut optical fiber; thereby conveniently realizing the intact branching of the optical fiber and the neat arrangement of multiple strands, improving the winding efficiency of multiple optical fibers, and reducing errors; 2. In the process of long-distance signal transmission, a combination of optical fibers of different types will be used. The segmented combination of optical fibers can balance the dispersion accumulation and avoid the influence of nonlinear effects or pulse broadening on long-distance transmission. Since different types of optical fibers are used in the process of using side-by-side optical fibers, and different types of optical fibers are often wound on different fixed axes, when optical fibers of the same type are placed side by side, a first fixed axis can be driven to rotate by a wire feeding motor. When optical fibers of different types are fed, multiple wire feeding motors and first fixed axes are installed, and multiple wire feeding motors drive multiple first fixed axes to rotate. Multiple first fixed axes feed optical fibers of different types to be placed side by side, thereby improving the applicability of the equipment. 3. The setting of the limit plate can limit the optical fiber in the wire groove, thereby reducing the probability of the optical fiber slipping out of the wire groove and getting tangled during the collection process; at the same time, the card block is slidably arranged in the third slide groove, so that the limit plate can limit the multi-level wire rows with different interval widths, thereby improving the applicability of the limit plate; 4. When cutting optical fibers, the side-by-side optical fibers will deviate under the cutting force of the cutting knife, which will make the cut surface of the optical fibers uneven. The setting of the clamping plate and the roller can fix the optical fibers. Before the slider drives the cutting knife to cut the optical fibers, the cylinder starts, and the cylinder drives the clamping plate to move toward the roller. The clamping plate and the roller cooperate to clamp the side-by-side optical fibers. 5. When installing the second fixed shaft, first insert the output shaft and the limit block of the wire feeding motor into the rotating groove and the limit groove respectively, and then manually rotate the adjusting screw. The adjusting screw drives the abutment block to approach the sixth mounting frame, and pushes the sixth mounting frame to move toward the second fixed shaft until the connecting shaft is installed in the bearing on the sixth mounting frame; thereby facilitating the removal of the second fixed shaft after the wire collection is completed, and also facilitating the installation of the unloaded second fixed shaft, thereby improving work efficiency.

At the same time, since the distance between the metering mechanism 3 and the second fixed shaft 54 remains unchanged, the length of the optical fibers wound twice and the length between the metering mechanism 3 and the second fixed shaft 54 are subtracted when inputting the measured length; Step 3: Start the wire feeding motor 13 and the wire taking-up motor 53 at the same time, the wire feeding motor 13 drives the first fixed shaft 14 to rotate to feed the wire, and the wire taking-up motor 53 drives the second fixed shaft 54 to rotate to take up the wire, and the metering mechanism 3 measures the length of the taken-up wire, and the cutting mechanism 4 cuts the optical fiber when the predetermined metering length is reached; Step 4: Remove the second fixed shaft 54 from the fifth mounting frame 52 through the detachable component 55 to collect the side-by-side optical fibers of a predetermined length, and then install the unloaded second fixed shaft 54 on the fifth mounting frame 52 to continue collecting the side-by-side optical fibers.
[0045] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
