Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fiber optic adapter assembly technology, specifically to an automatic fiber optic adapter assembly device and its fiber optic adapter. Background Technology

[0002] Fiber optic adapters are devices that detachably connect optical fibers. They precisely align the two end faces of the fibers to maximize the coupling of light energy from the transmitting fiber to the receiving fiber. Fiber optic adapters are key components in the deployment and connection of fiber optic communication systems during the fiber optic manufacturing process and are closely related to the fiber optic manufacturing industry chain.

[0003] The fiber optic adapter consists of two outer shells, each containing an inner core. The inner cores of the two shells face each other, forming a space for a ceramic sleeve. However, currently, the installation of the ceramic sleeve and the inner cores of the two shells relies on manual labor, resulting in low efficiency during manual operation.

[0004] Therefore, the applicant has developed a new technical solution in the actual production process to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the lower outer shell transmission line and the upper outer shell transmission line are used to transport the lower outer shell and the upper outer shell to the transmission track, respectively. After the lower outer shell is placed in the clamping member, the first pressing member presses the ceramic sleeve into the inner core of the lower outer shell. After the clamping member releases the lower outer shell, the lower outer shell is transported to the transmission track and pushed to the other side of the transmission track by the first pushing member, that is, the side close to the upper outer shell. The moving member removes the upper outer shell from the upper outer shell transmission line and places it directly above the lower outer shell containing the ceramic sleeve. Then, it is pushed to the side of the pushing track away from the transmission track by the second pushing member, so that the second pressing member can press the upper outer shell onto the lower outer shell. At this time, the ceramic sleeve can be automatically inserted into the inner core of the lower outer shell and the upper and lower outer shells can be automatically pressed together, increasing the degree of automation and improving efficiency.

[0019] Preferably, the transmission component includes drive slots formed within the moving block and located on opposite sides of the inlet hole. Each drive slot is rotatably connected to a rotating wheel. Each rotating wheel has an annular groove on its surface that abuts against the outer wall of the ceramic sleeve. Each annular groove is fitted with an anti-slip pad. Two rotating wheels are located on the left and right sides of the lowest ceramic sleeve and abut against the outer wall of the ceramic sleeve. The moving block has a power slot communicating with one of the drive slots. A servo motor for driving the rotating wheel to rotate is placed in the power slot.

[0020] Preferably, the first pusher includes a second cylinder disposed on the workbench and located at the end of the transmission track away from the upper outer casing transmission line.

When the clamping box moves downward, it clamps one of the lower outer shells in the compensation track. The clamping box contains a series of guide rails arranged to make the ceramic sleeves vertical. The upper and lower ends of the guide rails extend out of the upper and lower ends of the clamping box, respectively. Guide wheels are rotatably connected to both ends of the guide rails of the clamping box. Annular guide grooves are formed on the wheel surfaces of the two guide wheels.

[0030] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: the lower outer shell transmission line and the upper outer shell transmission line are used to transmit the lower outer shell and the upper outer shell to the transmission track, so that after the lower outer shell is placed in the clamping member, the first pressing member presses the ceramic sleeve into the inner core of the lower outer shell. After the clamping member releases the lower outer shell, the lower outer shell is transmitted to the transmission track and pushed to the other side of the transmission track by the first pushing member, that is, the side close to the upper outer shell. The moving member removes the upper outer shell from the upper outer shell transmission line and places it directly above the lower outer shell containing the ceramic sleeve. Then, it is pushed to the side of the pushing track away from the transmission track by the second pushing member, so that the second pressing member can press the upper outer shell onto the lower outer shell. At this time, the ceramic sleeve can be automatically inserted into the inner core of the lower outer shell and the upper and lower outer shells are automatically pressed together, increasing the degree of automation and improving efficiency.

[0050] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0051] All cross sections in this article are cut along the length of the feature being cut.

[0052] Example 1: A fiber optic adapter, such as Figures 1-7The system includes two inner cores 1, a ceramic sleeve 11, a lower outer shell 12 and an upper outer shell 13 with identical structures. Both the lower outer shell 12 and the upper outer shell 13 have connecting plates 14 at their left and right ends on the outer wall of their mating sides. One of the connecting plates 14, located on either the upper outer shell 13 or the lower outer shell 12, has several protrusions 141 and grooves 142. The other connecting plate 14 has slots 143 that mate with the protrusions 141 and blocks 144 that mate with the grooves 142. The inner core 1 includes two plastic elastic retaining plates 15 distributed left and right. The inner core 1 is snapped into the inner wall of the lower outer shell 12 or the upper outer shell 13. The inner core 1 also includes a horizontal plate 151. Two snapping plates 15 are located on the left and right sides of the horizontal plate 151, and the inner core 1 is provided with an inserting cylinder 152 for the ceramic sleeve 11 to be inserted. At this time, the inserting cylinder 152 is set on the horizontal plate 151 and located between the two snapping plates 15. The upper end of the inserting cylinder 152 extends out of the horizontal plate 151, and the lower end is provided with a support ring 153 to support the end face of the ceramic sleeve 11. The inner walls of the upper outer shell 13 and the lower outer shell 12 are provided with stepped surfaces 16 that support the horizontal plate 151 without the snapping plates 15 at both ends.

[0053] like Figures 1-7 When the inner core 1 is placed into the lower outer shell 12 and the upper outer shell 13, the two retaining plates 15 are secured to the inner walls of the lower outer shell 12 and the upper outer shell 13, and the lower end face of the horizontal plate 151 is supported by the stepped surface 16. Furthermore, when the upper outer shell 13 is aligned and pressed against the lower outer shell 12, both the upper outer shell 13 and the lower outer shell 12 have a positioning plate 17 that inserts into another horizontal plate 151, and the two horizontal plates 151 contact and press against each other.

[0054] like Figures 1-7 During installation, first insert the ceramic sleeve 11 into the inner core 1 of the lower outer shell 12. At this time, the lower end of the ceramic sleeve 11 is located inside the lower outer shell 12, and the upper outer shell 13 is located directly above the lower outer shell 12, so that the slot 143 of the upper outer shell 13 is opposite to the protrusion 141 of the lower outer shell 12, and the locking block 144 of the upper outer shell 13 is opposite to the groove 142 of the lower outer shell 12. Then, press the corresponding connecting plates 14 of the upper outer shell 13 and the lower outer shell 12 together, so that the protrusion 141 enters the slot 143 and the locking block 144 enters the groove 142, and also so that the positioning plates 17 of the two inner cores 1 are inserted into each other, so that the upper end of the ceramic sleeve 11 is located inside the inner core 1 of the upper outer shell 13.

[0055] Example 2: An automated assembly device for installing the fiber optic adapter described in Example 1 above, such as... Figures 8-16Since the upper outer shell 13 and the lower outer shell 12 in this product have the same structure, the upper outer shell 13 and the lower outer shell 12 need to be positioned vertically opposite each other when designing the equipment. The upper outer shell 13 is the state of the lower outer shell 12 after rotating 180° around axis A. Therefore, an automatic assembly equipment for fiber optic adapters includes a total transmission line 2 for transmitting the lower outer shell 12.

[0056] It also includes a workbench 3, a lower outer casing transmission line 31 located on one side of the workbench 3, and an upper outer casing transmission line 32; at this time, the main transmission line 2, the workbench 3, the lower outer casing transmission line 31 located on one side of the workbench 3, and the upper outer casing transmission line 32 can all be located on a horizontal platform 5, and there is a support frame (not shown in the figure) on the horizontal platform 5 to support the main transmission line 2, so that the height of the main transmission line 2 is higher than the height of the workbench 3.

[0057] The main transmission line 2 is located on the side away from the workbench 3 of the lower outer shell transmission line 31 and the upper outer shell transmission line 32. An exchange platform 4 is provided at the outlet of the main transmission line 2 and the inlet of the lower outer shell transmission line 31 and the upper outer shell transmission line 32. The exchange platform 4 can be set on the horizontal platform surface 5. The main transmission line 2 and the lower outer shell transmission line 31 have the same structure. The exchange platform 4 is provided with an alternating component that alternately transmits the lower outer shell 12 at the outlet of the main transmission line 2 to the lower outer shell transmission line 31 and the upper outer shell transmission line 32. The lower outer shell transmission line 31 and the upper outer shell transmission line 32 are located at the two ends of the exchange platform 4, respectively.

[0058] The alternation component includes two opposing plates 41 disposed on the exchange platform 4 and slidably connected between the two opposing plates 41. The upper end of the elongated plate 42 is higher than the upper end surfaces of the two opposing plates 41. The exchange platform 4 is provided with a cylinder 421 for pushing the elongated plate 42 to slide between the two opposing plates 41. The length direction of the two opposing plates 41 is distributed perpendicular to the transmission direction of the main transmission line 2. The outlet of the main transmission line 2 extends to connect with the side wall of one of the opposing plates 41, and the lower end of the main transmission line 2 is connected to the opposing plate 41. The opposing plate 41 connected to the main transmission line 2 has a storage slot 43 for the lower housing 12 on the main transmission line 2 to move to the opposing plate 41. The elongated plate 42 has two rectangular slots 44 for a lower outer shell 12 to be moved into, and the height of the opposite plate 41 just blocks the rectangular slots 44. The two opposite plates 41 have symmetrical push-out slots 45 on both sides of the storage slot 43. At this time, the opposite plate 41 connected to the main transmission line 2 has two push-out slots 45 and one storage slot 43. The other opposite plate 41 has two push-out slots 45. The lower outer shell transmission line 31 and the upper outer shell transmission line 32 are respectively connected to the two push-out slots 45 on the opposite plate 41 away from the main transmission line 2. The elongated plate 42 is provided with a component that allows the lower outer shell 12 in a rectangular slot 44 near the upper outer shell transmission line 32 to rotate 180 degrees and become a rotating component of the upper outer shell 13.

[0059] When the elongated plate 42 slides back and forth between the two opposing plates 41, so that the two rectangular slots 44 are respectively aligned with the two ejection slots 45, the exchange platform 4 is provided with two cylinders 11 46 located on the side of the opposing plate 41 with the main transmission line 2. The number of cylinders 11 46 is two and they are respectively distributed opposite the two ejection slots 45. The piston rods of the two cylinders 11 46 are provided with push blocks that cooperate with the ejection slots 45.

[0060] like Figures 8-16 The rotating component includes a circular groove 47 formed on a long strip plate 42. The long strip plate 42 is rotatably connected to a turntable 471 through the circular groove 47. At this time, a rectangular groove 44 near the upper outer casing transmission line 32 is formed on the turntable 471. An annular rotating groove 472 is formed on the groove wall of the circular groove 47 and is coaxially distributed with the circular groove 47. Several teeth 473 are fixedly provided on the outer wall of the turntable 471 and rotate with the turntable 471 in the rotating groove 472. A slide rail 474 is fixedly provided on the exchange platform 4 along the length direction of the long strip plate 42. A sliding groove 475 is formed on the long strip plate 42 and cooperates with the slide rail 474. The sliding groove 475 is located below the rotating groove 472 and communicates with the rotating groove 472. A rack 476 that meshes with the teeth 473 around the turntable 471 is detachably connected to the upper end of the slide rail 474. The lower end face of the long strip plate 42 still slides with the exchange platform 4.

[0061] like Figures 8-16When the rectangular slot 44 of turntable 471 is not aligned with the outlet of the main transmission line 2, and then moves to be aligned with the ejection slot 45, the teeth 473 and rack 476 on turntable 471 mesh, causing the forward turntable 471 to rotate 180°, and the rectangular slot 44 on turntable 471 to be aligned with the outlet on the main transmission line 2, that is, with the storage slot 43, so that the lower outer casing 12 can be pushed into the rectangular slot 44 on turntable 471. Then, the elongated plate 42 drives the rectangular slot 44 on turntable 471 to move towards the ejection slot 45 opposite to the upper outer casing transmission line 32. At this time, the teeth 473 and rack 476 on turntable 471 mesh, causing turntable 471 to rotate 180° in the opposite direction, thereby turning the lower outer casing 12 into the upper outer casing 13, and finally being pushed onto the upper outer casing transmission line 32 by cylinder 11 46. At this time, when there is no turntable 471, the rectangular slot 44 on turntable 471 is aligned with the outlet of the main transmission line 2, and then moves to be aligned with the ejection slot 45. The rectangular slot 44 of 71 is opposite to the storage slot 43, facilitating the pushing of the lower outer shell 12 onto the rectangular slot 44. Then, the elongated plate 42 moves the rectangular slot 44 (without the turntable 471) towards the ejection slot 45 opposite the lower outer shell transmission line 31, until it is opposite the ejection slot 45. At this point, the teeth 473 on the turntable 471 mesh with the rack 476, causing the turntable 471 to rotate 180° clockwise and be ejected by the cylinder 11 46 onto the lower outer shell transmission line 31. This cycle repeats, thus achieving the alternating transfer of the lower outer shell 12 from the main transmission line 2 to the lower outer shell transmission line 31 and the upper outer shell transmission line 32, ensuring that the number of lower outer shell 12 and upper outer shell 13 on both lines is the same, facilitating subsequent one-to-one assembly of the upper outer shell 13 and lower outer shell 12. The thickness of the elongated plate 42 is the same as the thickness of one lower outer shell 12.

[0062] like Figures 8-16 The workbench 3 is provided with a transmission track 33 with an upward opening and a U-shaped cross-section. The lower outer shell transmission line 31 is located on one side of the transmission track 33 and is connected to the transmission track 33. The upper outer shell transmission line 32 is located on the other side of the transmission track 33. At this time, the workbench 3 is provided with a placement rail 34 that is connected to the upper outer shell transmission line 32 and allows the lower part of the upper outer shell 13 to slide into it.

[0063] like Figures 8-16The lower outer casing transmission line 31 includes an inclined transmission channel 311 with a U-shaped cross-section. The connecting plates 14 on the left and right outer walls of the lower outer casing 12 overlap the upper surface of the transmission channel 311 and slide on the upper surface of the transmission channel 311 as the lower outer casing 12 slides within the transmission channel 311. Several support rods 312 are provided below the transmission channel 311 to support the transmission channel 311 off the ground or off the horizontal platform 5. The lower end of the inclined position of the transmission channel 311 is connected to the transmission track 33. The structure of the main transmission line 2 is the same as that of the lower outer casing transmission line 31, except that the lower end of the main transmission line 2 is connected to the storage slot 43 on the opposite plate 41. When the lower outer shell 12 with inner core 1 is placed on the main transmission line 2, it can slide on the transmission channel 311 on the main transmission line 2 by means of the vibrating plate. When the lower outer shell 12 on the main transmission line 2 is transmitted to the storage slot 43, the lower outer shell 12 is limited by the surface of the elongated plate 42 until it is opposite to the rectangular slot 44 and can then enter the rectangular slot 44.

[0064] like Figures 8-16 The side wall of the transmission track 33 is provided with a connecting groove 331 that communicates with the first transmission channel 311. The connecting groove 331 facilitates the transmission of the lower outer shell 12 in the first transmission channel 311 to the transmission track 33. The higher end of the first transmission channel 311 on the lower outer shell transmission line 31 is connected to the push-out groove 45 on the opposite plate 41, and the lower end is connected to the connecting groove 331. The width of the connecting groove 331 is sufficient to accommodate two lower outer shells 12.

[0065] like Figures 8-16 The transmission track 33 is provided with clamping members at the position where the lower outer shell 12 enters the side wall of the transmission track 33, which clamp the lower outer shell 12 from the left and right. The clamping members can clamp one of the lower outer shells 12 located in the connecting groove 331 near the inside of the transmission track 33; the worktable 3 is provided with a pressing member that presses the ceramic sleeve 11 into the inner core 1 of the lower outer shell 12 after the lower outer shell 12 is clamped.

[0066] like Figures 8-16 The upper outer casing transmission line 32 includes an inclined transmission channel 321 with a U-shaped cross-section. The U-shaped width of the transmission channel 321 is designed to allow the end of the upper outer casing 13 with the connecting plate 14 to be inserted. The transmission channel 321 allows the side of the upper outer casing 13 with the connecting plate 14 to slide. The lower end of the inclined position of the transmission channel 321 is located on one side of the transmission track 33, and the higher end is connected to the ejection groove 45 on the opposite plate 41. At this time, the ejection groove 45 connected to the higher end of the transmission channel 321 is U-shaped, allowing the upper outer casing 13 to be removed. Below the transmission channel 321, there are several support rods 322 that support the transmission channel 321 off the ground or off the horizontal platform surface 5.

[0067] like Figures 8-16 Both the outer walls of transmission channel 1 311 and transmission channel 2 321 are provided with L-shaped transmission plates 323. The horizontal ends of the transmission plates 323 are located above the transmission channels 1 311 and 2 321. There are several transmission plates 323, and the horizontal plates 151 of each transmission plate 323 are connected by connecting rods 324. At this time, the connecting rods 324 are located above the lower outer shell 12 or the upper outer shell 13, which facilitates the guiding and limiting function of the movement of the lower outer shell 12 or the upper outer shell 13 in the transmission channels 1 311 and 2 321 respectively.

[0068] like Figures 8-16 The clamping component includes a placement groove 332 on the upper surface of the transmission track 33. An electric cylinder 333 is placed in the placement groove 332. The piston rod of the electric cylinder 333 enters the connecting groove 331 and is provided with a rubber abutting block 334 that abuts against the lower outer shell 12. An embedding groove 335 is provided on the groove wall of the connecting groove 331 for the rubber abutting block 334 to be embedded. At this time, the setting of the embedding groove 335 reduces the obstruction of the rubber abutting block 334 from the lower outer shell 12 entering the connecting groove 331, and the rubber abutting block 334 is completely inserted into the embedding groove 335. When it is necessary to clamp the lower outer shell 12, the electric cylinder 333 drives the rubber abutting block 334 to partially move out of the embedding groove 335, thereby abutting the side wall of the lower outer shell 12 against the groove wall of the connecting groove 331. On the one hand, this facilitates the subsequent installation of the clamping component 1 into the ceramic sleeve 11, and on the other hand, it reduces the situation where the lower outer shell 12 automatically slides into the transmission track 33 when it does not need to enter the transmission track 33.

[0069] like Figures 8-16 The clamping component includes a vertical plate 35 mounted on the upper surface of the workbench 3 by a vertical rod. The lower end of the vertical rod is fixed on the workbench 3, and preferably it can be set on the upper surface of one side of the transmission track 33. A horizontal plate 351 is provided on the upper end of the vertical plate 35. Vertically distributed moving blocks 352 are slidably connected on the plate surface of the vertical plate 35. Vertically distributed receiving tubes 353 are provided on the upper end of the moving blocks 352. The receiving tubes 353 are for ceramic sleeves 11 to be vertically distributed and distributed one after another from top to bottom. A notch is opened on the horizontal plate 351 for the receiving tubes 353 to extend out. A cylinder 354 is provided on the horizontal plate 351 to drive the moving blocks 352 to move up and down. An entry hole 355 is opened on the moving blocks 352 for the ceramic sleeves 11 to enter vertically. The entry hole 355 extends to the lower end of the moving blocks 352. The entry hole 355 on the moving blocks 352 is directly opposite the inner core 1 of the lower outer shell 12 clamped by the electric cylinder 333.

[0070] like Figures 8-16 The moving block 352 is equipped with a transmission component that vertically transmits the ceramic sleeves 11 one by one out of the inlet hole 355 and into the inner core 1.

[0071] like Figures 8-16The transmission component includes drive slots located in the movable block 352 and on opposite sides of the inlet hole 355. Each drive slot is rotatably connected to a rotating wheel 356. Each rotating wheel 356 has an annular groove on its surface that abuts against the outer wall of the ceramic sleeve 11. Each annular groove is fitted with an anti-slip pad. Two rotating wheels 356 are located on the left and right sides of the lowest ceramic sleeve 11 and abut against the outer wall of the ceramic sleeve 11. At this time, there is a gap of half a ceramic sleeve 11 between the center of the rotating wheel 356 and the lower end face of the movable block 352. The movable block 352 has a power slot that communicates with one of the drive slots. One side of the power slot extends out of the side wall of the movable block 352 and can be detachably closed by a sealing plate. A servo motor (not shown in the figure) that drives the rotating wheel 356 to rotate is placed in the power slot.

[0072] like Figures 8-16 Two rotating wheels 356 clamp the bottommost end of the lowest ceramic sleeve 11. Cylinder 354 drives the moving block 352 to approach the clamped lower outer shell 12. When the servo motor drives one of the rotating wheels 356 to rotate, the rotating wheel 356 drives the ceramic sleeve 11 to move downward, which in turn drives the other rotating wheel 356 to rotate as well. The lowest ceramic sleeve 11 is gradually moved out of the lower end of the moving block 352 and then into the inner core 1 of the lower outer shell 12. When the rotating wheel 356 rotates and moves the ceramic sleeve 11 downward by the distance of one ceramic sleeve 11, the lower end of the lowest ceramic sleeve 11 is inserted into the inner core 1 of the lower outer shell 12, and the upper end is located in the inlet hole 355 and separated from the two rotating wheels 356. Then, cylinder 354 drives the moving block 352 to move upward, so that the ceramic sleeve 11 is completely removed from the moving block 352 and the moving block 352 is moved away from the lower outer shell 12. The clamping element then releases the lower housing 12 that has been inserted into the ceramic sleeve 11, so that the lower housing 12 is pushed by each lower housing 12 on the lower housing transmission line 31 and moves into the transmission track 33. Then the clamping element clamps the next lower housing 12.

[0073] like Figures 8-16The transmission track 33 is equipped with a pusher that pushes the lower outer shell 12 containing the ceramic sleeve 11 to the other side of the transmission track 33. Both sides of the transmission track 33 are closed. The worktable 3 is equipped with a moving part that places the upper outer shell 13 directly above the lower outer shell 12 containing the ceramic sleeve 11. At this time, the moving part removes the upper outer shell 13 from the placement track 34. The worktable 3 is equipped with a pusher track 36 that is connected to the transmission track 33 and is perpendicular to it. The cross-section of the pusher track 36 is also U-shaped. At this time, the two opposite side walls of the pusher track 36 have one side wall extending to one side of the transmission track 33 and connecting with one side wall of the transmission track 33. Another side wall is fixedly connected to one side wall of the transmission track 33, thereby forming an L-shaped transmission channel between the push track 36 and the transmission track 33. The connecting plate 14 of the lower housing 12 slides on the upper surface of the push track 36 or the transmission track 33. At this time, the pusher pushes the lower housing 12 with the ceramic sleeve 11 to the side wall of the push track 36, that is, the push track 36 and the transmission track 33 are connected at position A. At this time, position A is the position where the lower housing 12 and the upper housing 13 are directly opposite each other and the upper housing 13 is placed on the lower housing 12. The push track 36 is opposite to the position A where the lower housing 12 and the upper housing 13 are installed.

[0074] like Figures 8-16 After the moving part finishes its work, the worktable 3 is provided with a second pusher that pushes the lower housing 12 and the upper housing 13 on the transmission track 33 to the side of the pusher track 36 away from the transmission track 33. After the second pusher finishes its work, the worktable 3 is provided with a second clamping part that presses the upper housing 13 onto the lower housing 12.

[0075] like Figures 8-16 The lower outer shell transmission line 31 and the upper outer shell transmission line 32 are used to transmit the lower outer shell 12 and the upper outer shell 13 to the transmission track 33, respectively. After the lower outer shell 12 is placed in the clamping member, the first pressing member presses the ceramic sleeve 11 into the inner core 1 inside the lower outer shell 12. After the clamping member releases the lower outer shell 12, the lower outer shell 12 is transmitted to the transmission track 33 and pushed by the first pushing member to the other side of the transmission track 33, that is, the side close to the upper outer shell 13. The moving member removes the upper outer shell 13 from the upper outer shell transmission line 32 and places it directly above the lower outer shell 12 containing the ceramic sleeve 11. Then, it is pushed by the second pushing member to the pushing track 36 away from the transmission track 33, so that the second pressing member can press the upper outer shell 13 onto the lower outer shell 12. At this time, the ceramic sleeve 11 can be automatically inserted into the inner core 1 of the lower outer shell 12 and the upper outer shell 13 and the lower outer shell 12 can be automatically pressed together, increasing the degree of automation and improving efficiency.

[0076] like Figures 8-16The pusher track 36 is closed off from the transmission track 33 by a sealing plate 361. The thickness of the sealing plate 361 is the same as the thickness of the lower outer shell 12. The sealing plate 361 has an outlet hole for the lower outer shell 12 to pass through. The pusher includes a cylinder 362 mounted on the workbench 3 and located at the end of the transmission track 33 away from the upper outer shell transmission line 32. The piston rod of the cylinder 362 enters the transmission track 33, and a Z-shaped pusher plate 363 is provided at the entry end. The two parallel sides of the pusher plate 363 contact the two side walls of the transmission track 33, and the side between the two parallel sides contacts the side wall of the lower outer shell 12. When the cylinder 362 moves the pusher plate 363 closer to the upper outer shell 12, the pusher plate 363 is closed off from the transmission track 33 by a sealing plate 361. The side between the two parallel sides contacts the side wall of the lower outer shell 12. When the push plate 363 is near one end of the connecting groove 331, one of the two parallel sides of the push plate 363 is directly opposite the lower housing 12 inside the connecting groove 331, which facilitates the lower housing 12 to come into contact with the push plate 363 after it comes out of the connecting groove 331 and enters the transmission track 33. This is position B, so that the two L-shaped sides of the push plate 363 are in contact with the lower housing 12. As the cylinder 362 pushes the push plate 363, the lower housing 12 is located at position A. At this time, a connecting plate 14 of the lower housing 12 is located on the upper surface of the push track 36. The push plate 363 fixes the lower housing 12 to the side wall of the push plate 363 and the push track 36, which facilitates the placement of the upper housing 13 later.

[0077] like Figures 8-16 The moving parts include a clamping plate and a mounting plate 37 disposed on the worktable 3. The mounting plate 37 is provided with a power component that causes the clamping plate to move along the XZ axis.

[0078] like Figures 8-16The mounting plate 37 is vertically distributed, and the power component includes an L-shaped fixing plate 371 that is slidably connected to the mounting plate 37 in the vertical direction and placed horizontally. A horizontally extending plate is provided above the mounting plate 37, and a cylinder is provided on the plate to drive the fixing plate 371 to slide up and down. The horizontal part of the fixing plate 371 is slidably connected to the mounting plate 37, and a cylinder 372 is provided on the vertical part perpendicular to the horizontal part. A U-shaped mounting block 373 is slidably connected to the horizontal part of the fixing plate 371 in the horizontal direction. The piston rod of the cylinder 372 passes through the fixing plate 371 and is fixedly connected to the mounting block 373. A cylinder 374 is provided at the upper end of the mounting block 373. Two clamping plates 375 located on the outer wall of the lower outer shell 12 are provided on the lower end face of the mounting block 373. An insert plate 376 that moves up and down between the two clamping plates 375 is slidably connected to the lower end wall of the mounting block 373. The piston rod of the cylinder 374 extends into the U-shaped part of the mounting block 373 and is connected to the upper end of the insert plate 376. The lower end of the insert plate 376 on the side opposite to the clamping plate 375 and the two clamping plates 375 on the side opposite to the insert plate 376 are provided with inclined surfaces. The inclined surfaces make the lower ends of the insert plate 376 and the lower ends of the clamping plates 375 pointed. The lower end of the insert plate 376 is inserted into the lower outer shell 12. The clamping plate includes the insert plate 376 and the two clamping plates 375.

[0079] like Figures 8-16 Working principle of the moving part: The end of the upper outer shell transmission line 32 near the transmission track 33 is closed. The cylinder drives the fixing plate 371, which in turn drives the clamping plate to move downward along the Z-axis. The cylinder 372 drives the mounting block 373, which in turn drives the clamping plate to move along the X-axis, so that the clamping plate can approach the upper outer shell 13 on the upper outer shell transmission line 32. As the cylinder drives the fixing plate 371 and the clamping plate to continue to move downward along the Z-axis, the inclined surfaces on the two clamping plates 375 come into contact with the outer wall of the upper outer shell 13. Then, the cylinder 374 drives the insertion plate 376 to move downward and insert it into the upper outer shell 13, so that the inclined surfaces on both sides of the insertion plate 376 abut against the upper outer shell 13. On the inner wall of the outer shell 13, the upper outer shell 13 is clamped. Then, the cylinder drives the fixing plate 371 to move the clamping plate upward along the Z-axis. The cylinder 372 drives the mounting block 373 to move in the direction of position A, so as to move the upper outer shell 13 directly above the lower outer shell 12. Finally, the cylinder drives the fixing plate 371 to move the clamping plate downward along the Z-axis until the connecting plate 14 of the upper outer shell 13 and the lower outer shell 12 come into contact with each other. Then, the cylinder 374 drives the insert plate 376 to move upward, so that the insert plate 376 is removed from the upper outer shell 13. Then, the cylinder drives the two clamping plates 375 to move upward, so as to complete the movement of the upper outer shell 13.

[0080] like Figures 8-16When one of the upper housings 13 on the upper housing transmission line 32 is clamped to position A, the upper housing transmission line 32 is inclined, so each upper housing 13 slides by gravity, causing one upper housing 13 to abut against one end of the upper housing transmission line 32 again.

[0081] like Figures 8-16 The second pusher includes a cylinder 38 disposed on the workbench 3 and distributed along the length direction perpendicular to the length direction of the transmission track 33. An opening is provided on the wall of the transmission track 33 opposite to the cylinder 38. A push plate 2 is provided on the piston rod of the cylinder 38 and located in the opening. The push plate 2 is provided with guide rods (not shown in the figure) located on both sides of the upper housing 13. The guide rods restrict the offset of the upper housing 13. The opening is opposite to the pusher track 36, which facilitates the cylinder 38 to push the lower housing 12 to the through hole on the closed plate 361.

[0082] like Figures 8-16 The second clamping component includes a base 39 disposed on one side of the workbench 3. The base 39 is disposed on the ground or horizontal platform 5. An L-shaped transition rod 391 is provided on the base 39. The end of the transition rod 391 away from the base 39 extends above the push rail 36 and is provided with a cylinder 392. The piston rod of the cylinder 392 extends out of the transition rod 391 and is provided with a pressure column 393. The lower end of the pressure column 393 is provided with an entry groove 394 for the upper outer shell 13 to be inserted. The entry groove 394 is not for the connecting plate 14 to enter. The depth of the entry groove 394 is greater than the height of the upper outer shell 13. The pressure column 393 is located directly above the sealing plate 361 and is directly opposite the inlet groove 394 and the outlet hole, which facilitates the downward movement of the pressure column 393, thereby allowing the upper outer shell 13 to slide into the inlet groove 394. At this time, since the depth of the inlet groove 394 is greater than the height of the upper outer shell 13, the lower end of the pressure column 393 abuts against the connecting plate 14 of the upper outer shell 13, which facilitates the pressure column 393 to continue downward, thereby pressing the connecting plate 14 on the upper outer shell 13 onto the connecting plate 14 on the lower outer shell 12.

[0083] like Figure 13 and Figure 15 and Figure 16An automatic assembly device for fiber optic adapters includes a compensation track 6, which is L-shaped and connected at one end to a push track 36 and at the other end to a transmission track 33. A compensation port 1 61 is provided on the side wall of the push track 36 opposite to the compensation track 6, and a compensation port 2 62 is provided on the side wall of the transmission track 33 connected to the compensation track 6. A compensation port 3 63 is provided on the compensation track 6, which is directly opposite to the compensation port 2 62. A cylinder 7 64 and a cylinder 8 65 are provided on the worktable 3. A push plate 3 is provided on the piston rod of cylinder 7 64, which is located in the compensation port 1 61, and a push plate 4 is provided on the piston rod of cylinder 8 65, which is located in the compensation port 3 63. An inserter is provided on the worktable 3 for inserting a ceramic sleeve 11 into the lower outer shell 12 on the compensation track 6.

[0084] like Figure 13 and Figure 15 and Figure 16 The transmission track 33 has a proximity sensor (not shown in the figure) on its inner wall near cylinder 362 to detect whether the ceramic sleeve 11 is installed. When the lower housing 12 is transmitted from the connecting groove 331 to the transmission track 33 and comes into contact with the push plate 363, it is pushed to position A by cylinder 362. The proximity sensor detects whether the ceramic sleeve 11 is installed in the lower housing 12. If it is not installed, it will send a signal. The proximity sensor first controls the moving parts to stop working, specifically controlling cylinders 372, 374 and cylinder to stop working. Then it controls cylinder 5 38 to push the lower housing 12 to the position opposite cylinder 64. Then it controls cylinder 64 to start working, so that cylinder 64 can push the lower housing 12 without the ceramic sleeve 11 into the compensation track 6. The compensation track 6 is staggered with the lower housing transmission line 31.

[0085] like Figure 13 and Figure 15 and Figure 16The loading component includes an L-shaped adjusting plate 66 mounted on the worktable 3 and located on one side of cylinder 65. The adjusting plate 66 is positioned at the right angle of the L-shaped compensation track 6. The vertical end of the adjusting plate 66 is fixedly connected to the worktable 3, and the horizontal end extends directly above the compensation track 6. Cylinder 661 is mounted on the adjusting plate 66. The piston rod of cylinder 661 extends out of the adjusting plate 66, and a clamping box 662 is provided at one end of the extension. The adjusting plate 66 extends out from one side of the clamping box 662. When the clamping box 662 moves downward, it clamps the lower outer shell 12 of one of the compensation tracks 6 that has moved to the right angle of the compensation track 6. The box 662 is provided with a series of guide rails 663 arranged to make the ceramic sleeve 11 vertical. The upper and lower ends of the guide rails 663 extend out of the upper and lower ends of the clamping box 662, respectively. The clamping box 662 is rotatably connected to the two ends of the guide rails 663. The two guide wheels 664 have annular guide grooves on their surfaces. The two guide grooves clamp the lowermost ceramic sleeve 11. The clamping box 662 is provided with an electric motor that drives one of the guide wheels 664 to rotate. The distance from the center of the two guide wheels 664 to the lower outer wall of the clamping box 662 is half the length of the ceramic sleeve 11.

[0086] like Figure 13 and Figure 15 and Figure 16 When cylinder 7 64 pushes a lower outer shell 12 without ceramic sleeve 11 into the compensation track 6, until a connecting plate 14 of the lower outer shell 12 moves to the upper end face of the right angle of the compensation track 6, cylinder 9 661 drives the clamping box 662 to move downward, thereby fastening the lower outer shell 12 between the upper end face of the compensation track 6 and the clamping box 662. Then, the motor drives the guide wheel 664 to rotate, so that the two guide wheels 664 drive a ceramic sleeve 11 to move downward. At this time, the two guide wheels 664 initially clamp the bottom end of the bottom ceramic sleeve 11. As the two guide wheels 664 rotate, the bottom ceramic sleeve 11 moves downward by the distance of one ceramic sleeve 11. The lower end of the ceramic sleeve 11 enters the lower outer shell 12, and the upper end separates from the guide wheel 664, thus completing the installation of the ceramic sleeve 11 of the lower outer shell 12 of the compensation track 6.

[0087] like Figure 13 and Figure 15 and Figure 16After the ceramic sleeve 11 is installed, a proximity sensor 2 (not shown in the figure) is installed on the upper end face of the compensation track 6 to detect whether the ceramic sleeve 11 is installed on the lower housing 12 on the compensation track 6. When installation is detected, the proximity sensor 2 controls the electric cylinder 333 of the clamping device to always clamp the lower housing 12 in the connecting groove 331. Then, the cylinder 65 pushes the lower housing 12 back into the transmission track 33, so that the push plate 363 on the cylinder 362 can move to contact the lower housing 12. After that, the cylinder 65 retracts. At this time, in order to reduce the push plate 363, the cylinder 65 will retract. The interference between 363 and push plate four is such that the width of push plate four is distributed along the width of the lower outer shell 12, and the height of push plate four is lower than the depth of compensation track 6. Push plate one 363 has a long strip groove on the plate surface that first contacts the lower outer shell 12 for push plate four to slide into. At this time, it is convenient for push plate one 363 on cylinder two 362 to move to contact the lower outer shell 12. Then cylinder eight 65 retracts, which causes cylinder two 362 to push the compensated lower outer shell 12 to position A. Then the clamping part releases the lower outer shell 12 in the connecting groove 331, so that the equipment can operate normally.

[0088] The reason for designing the compensation track 6 is that the upper outer shell 13 and the lower outer shell 12 are installed in a one-to-one correspondence, and the lower outer shell 12 cannot be missing.

[0089] like Figure 13 and Figure 15 and Figure 16The push track 36 has an output track 7 perpendicular to the push track 36 on the side away from the transmission track 33. The worktable 3 has a pusher to push the lower outer shell 12 of the clamping component 2 to the output track 7 after it has finished working. The output track 7 is a plate, and the length of the plate is perpendicular to the length of the push track 36. The output track 7 is set on the worktable 3 and there is a gap between it and the closing plate 361. The gap is the gap of the lower outer shell 12. The pusher includes a U-shaped fork plate 71 that slides on the worktable 3. One side of the fork plate 71 enters between the output track 7 and the closing plate 361, and the other side enters the push track 36 and slides with the side of the closing plate 361. The worktable 3 has a cylinder 12 72 that pushes the fork plate 71 to move back and forth. At this time, the worktable 3 has a support plate to support the cylinder 12 65 to facilitate the cylinder. The installation of cylinder 865 and cylinder 1272: Cylinder 865 has a plate extending towards the compensation track 6 on its piston rod. Push plate 4 is fixed on the extended plate. When clamping component 2 is working, fork plate 71 is located in the output track 7 and limits the lower outer shell 12 in the closed plate 361. After clamping component 2 is finished, cylinder 1272 drives fork plate 71 to move out of closed plate 361, so that cylinder 538 can push the next lower outer shell 12 into the through hole of closed plate 361. The lower outer shell 12 that was originally in the through hole is squeezed into the output track 7. Then cylinder 1272 drives fork plate 71 to move towards closed plate 361 again, so that fork plate 71 pushes the lower outer shell 12 on the output track 7 to one side of the output track 7 to realize unloading, and at the same time limits the lower outer shell 12 to be clamped on closed plate 361.

[0090] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this invention without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this invention and their equivalents, this invention also intends to include these modifications and variations.
