Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of optical cable splicing technology, and more specifically to an optical cable splicing device for fixing optical cables. Background Technology

[0002] Optical fiber fusion splicing technology is a core foundation for the construction and maintenance of modern optical fiber communication networks, stemming from the stringent requirements of optical fiber communication for low-loss and high-reliability signal transmission. Because optical fibers are composed of fragile glass fibers, any mechanical connection or end-face gap will lead to significant attenuation of the optical signal; therefore, it is essential to achieve a permanent, seamless connection of the fiber core layers using precise methods.

[0003] Patent application CN202110698076.6 discloses an optical cable splicing device, belonging to the technical field of optical cable splicing equipment. It includes a splicing box, a splicer, an oxygen supply mechanism, a heating mechanism, and a fixing mechanism. The splicing box, made of transparent material, allows the operator to easily observe its interior. Inside the box are a splicer for splicing optical cables and a heating mechanism to increase the temperature. An oxygen supply mechanism connected to the splicing box increases the oxygen content. Optical cable inlets are located on both sides of the box, and an operating port on the other side allows the operator to extend their arm into the box. A fixing mechanism at the optical cable inlet secures the cable to the splicing box. This design compensates for the poor splicing quality caused by low temperatures and low oxygen levels in high-altitude and cold regions.

[0004] However, this patent cannot clean the optical cable, which affects the signal transmission effect after the optical cable is connected.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new technical solution to overcome the above-mentioned defects. Summary of the Invention

The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 9As shown, the present invention provides an optical cable splicing device for fixing optical cables, comprising: a housing 1, an optical cable 4; a fixing component 2 for fixing the optical cable 4; and a pretreatment component 3 for pre-treating the optical cable 4. The optical cable 4 is fixed by the fixing component 2, and then the optical cable 4 is moved into the housing 1. At the same time, the optical cable 4 is pre-treated by the pretreatment component 3 to expose the optical cable 4, and then splicing is performed.

[0023] The pretreatment component 3 includes: a motor 31, which is fixedly mounted on the surface of the housing 1; a gear 311 fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the motor 31; a treatment component 32 mounted on the housing 1; a grinding cylinder 33 rotatably mounted on the treatment component 32; a gear ring 34 fixedly mounted on the grinding cylinder 33; and a fixing cylinder 35 fixedly mounted on the grinding cylinder 33. The grinding cylinder 33 is provided with a grinding head 331 for grinding the optical cable 4. The gear 311 meshes with the gear ring 34. When the motor 31 starts, the gear 311 drives the gear ring 34 to rotate, causing the gear ring 34 to drive the grinding cylinder 33 and the fixing cylinder 35 to rotate on the surface of the treatment component 32. The optical cable 4 passes through the fixing cylinder 35 and the grinding cylinder 33, and is processed by the grinding head 331 to ensure the subsequent splicing effect of the optical cable 4. Impurities generated during the pretreatment process are collected inside the treatment component 32 for subsequent use.

[0024] It should be added that the pretreatment component 32 further includes: a fixed frame 3311 fixedly mounted on the fixed cylinder 35; a second piston 3312 slidably mounted on the fixed frame 3311; a power source 3313 fixedly mounted on the second piston 3312, the power source 3313 being a pneumatic telescopic rod, the power source 3313 being fixedly mounted on the fixed frame 3311; a connecting rod 3314 fixedly mounted on the second piston 3312; and a guide block 3315 fixedly mounted on the connecting rod 3314.

[0025] When the optical cable 4 passes through the grinding cylinder 33 and the fixing cylinder 35, the power source 3313 drives the piston 3312 to slide in the fixing frame 3311. Since the fixing frame 3311 is connected to the connecting pipe 3316, and the connecting pipe 3316 is connected to the adjusting seat 3317, the cutting blade 3318 is slidably installed on the adjusting seat 3317. When the piston 3312 slides, it pushes the gas in the fixing frame 3311 through the connecting pipe 3316 into the adjusting seat 3317, pushing the cutting blade 3318 to move down. At this time, when the optical cable 4 passes through the fixing cylinder 35 and the grinding cylinder 33, the cutting blade 3318 can cut the protective sheath on the surface of the optical cable 4. The cutting blade 3318 is arranged in multiple sets around the axis of the fixing cylinder 35, which can cut the protective sheath on the surface of the optical cable 4 into multiple strips, avoiding the protective sheath from sticking to the surface of the optical cable 4 and affecting the pretreatment of the optical cable 4.

[0026] It should be noted that before the optical cable 4 is pre-cut to the length to be stripped by hand (a fixed-length groove is cut in a ring on the surface of the optical cable 4, which means a groove cut in a ring at a specified length on the optical cable 4 to be stripped). After the cutting is completed, when the cutting blade 3318 strips the surface of the optical cable 4, the protective sheath on the surface of the optical cable 4 will fall down after being cut to the fixed-length groove, thereby realizing the stripping work on the surface of the optical cable 4.

[0027] It should be added that the adjusting seat 3317 is fixedly installed on the fixed cylinder 35; a waste discharge pipe 351 is fixedly installed on the fixed cylinder 35; the waste discharge pipe 351 is connected to the processing component 32, and the protective skin cut by the cutting blade 3318 is discharged into the processing component 32 through the waste discharge pipe 351. The processing component 32 is a hollow box, and an exhaust fan can be installed inside the processing component 32. By exhausting the air, impurities in the fixed cylinder 35 and the grinding cylinder 33 are drawn into the processing component 32 for collection, resulting in a good impurity removal effect.

[0028] In addition to the protective sheath, the surface of the optical cable 4 is also coated with an acrylic resin layer, which needs to be removed during splicing to prevent the coating from affecting the signal transmission speed after splicing. An adjusting component 3319 is slidably mounted on the grinding cylinder 33; a guide plate 33191 is fixedly mounted on the adjusting component 3319; a spring 33192 is fixedly mounted on the adjusting component 3319; a fixing rod 33193 is fixedly mounted on the spring 33192; and a grinding head 331 is fixedly mounted on the fixing rod 33193.

[0029] The grinding head 331 is relatively long, and a set of grinding heads 331 is equipped with two sets of adjustment parts 3319; the contact surface between the grinding head 331 and the optical cable 4 is the grinding surface, and grinding paper is attached to the grinding surface for grinding the coating layer on the surface of the optical cable 4.

[0030] When the power source 3313 drives the piston 3312 to move, it simultaneously drives the connecting rod 3314 to move, causing the connecting rod 3314 to drive the guide block 3315 to move towards the adjusting member 3319. At this time, the guide block 3315 cooperates with the guide plate 33191. The guide block 3315 pushes the guide plate 33191 to move down, thereby driving the grinding head 331 to move towards the optical cable 4. When the optical cable 4 enters the grinding cylinder 33, the optical cable 4 pushes the grinding head 331 to move towards the adjusting member 3319, while driving the fixing rod 33193 to slide inside the adjusting member 3319. At the same time, it compresses the spring 33192. After the spring 33192 deforms, it generates an outward elastic force, pushing the grinding head 331 to always be in contact with the optical cable 4. At this time, under the rotation of the grinding cylinder 33, the grinding head 331 grinds the surface of the optical cable 4, thereby grinding off the coating film on the surface of the optical cable 4 to facilitate subsequent welding.

[0031] In other words, when the power source 3313 drives the piston 3312 to move, on the one hand, it pushes the piston 3312 to push the gas in the fixed frame 3311 through the connecting pipe 3316 into the adjusting seat 3317 when sliding, pushing the cutting blade 3318 to move down. On the other hand, it drives the connecting rod 3314 to move, so that the connecting rod 3314 drives the guide block 3315 to move towards the adjusting member 3319. At this time, the guide block 3315 cooperates with the guide plate 33191. The guide block 3315 pushes the guide plate 33191 to move down, thereby driving the grinding head 331 to move towards the optical cable 4, and the grinding head 331 grinds the optical cable 4.

[0032] It is important to note that, depending on the specifications of the optical cable 4, the power source 3313 drives the piston 3312 to move different distances, which in turn causes different gas levels within the fixed frame 3311, resulting in different movement distances for the cutting blade 3318. This allows for the stripping of optical cables 4 of different specifications. Furthermore, the movement of the piston 3312 causes the connecting rod 3314 to move differently. With the cooperation of the guide block 3315 and the guide plate 33191, the adjusting component 3319 drives the grinding head 331 to move differently. In other words, when the optical cable 4 is thinner, the power source 3313 drives the piston 3312 to move a greater distance, and the cutting blade 3318 moves a larger downward distance, ensuring that the optical cable 4 can be cut. Simultaneously, the downward movement distance of the cutting head increases synchronously, which is beneficial for pre-processing the optical cable 4 according to its specifications, eliminating the need for manual adjustment and resulting in good practical effects.

[0033] The fixing component 2 includes: a fixing sleeve 21, which is fixedly installed on the housing 1; an electric telescopic rod 211 fixedly installed on the fixing sleeve 21; a piston 213 fixedly installed at the output end of the electric telescopic rod 211; a lifting rod 214 fixedly installed on the piston 213; a hinge rod 22 rotatably installed on the lifting rod 214; a sliding plate 23 hingedly installed on the hinge rod 22; a slider 231 fixedly installed on the sliding plate 23; a fixing member 24 for fixing the optical cable 4 on the sliding plate 23; a sliding rod 232 slidably installed on the slider 231; and the sliding rod 232 fixedly installed on the housing 1.

[0034] The optical cable 4 is inserted into the fixing member 24. Then, the electric telescopic rod 211 is activated to drive the piston 213 to slide inside the fixing sleeve 21, and to drive the lifting rod 214 to move (downward). The lifting rod 214 drives the hinge rod 22 to pull the slide plate 23 and slide it on the slide rod 232 through the slider 231, thereby driving the fixing member 24 to move towards the box 1, thus realizing the loading of the optical cable 4. It should be added that when the piston 213 moves, the gas in the fixing sleeve 21 is simultaneously transported to the fixing member 24 through the air pipe 212, which drives the fixing member 24 to fix the optical cable 4, thereby ensuring the stability of the optical cable 4 when it moves.

[0035] Specifically, the fixing component 24 consists of: a lower fixing block 241 fixedly installed on the slide plate 23; an upper fixing block 242 fixedly installed on the lower fixing block 241; a sliding sleeve 243 fixedly installed on the upper fixing block 242; a push plate 245 slidably installed on the sliding sleeve 243; a push rod 246 fixedly installed on the push plate 245; a fixing plate 247 fixedly installed on the push rod 246; an air pipe 244 connected to the sliding sleeve 243; an air pipe 212 connected to the fixing sleeve 21; and the air pipe 212 and the air pipe 244 connected.

[0036] When piston 213 moves inside fixed sleeve 21, it pushes the gas inside fixed sleeve 21 through air pipe 212 and air pipe 244 to slide sleeve 243, and pushes push plate 245 to drive push rod 246 to move, so that fixed plate 247 squeezes and fixes optical cable 4 to ensure the stability of optical cable 4 when it moves.

[0037] Additionally, a second hinge rod 25 is rotatably mounted on the lifting rod 214; a dust cover 26 is rotatably mounted on the second hinge rod 25; a base plate 261 is fixedly mounted on the housing 1; the dust cover 26 is slidably mounted on the base plate 261. When the lifting rod 214 moves, it synchronously drives the second hinge rod 25 to move, which can pull the dust cover 26 to slide on the base plate 261. There are two sets of second hinge rods 25. The two sets of second hinge rods 25 drive the two sets of dust covers 26 to move closer to each other, covering the splicing part of the optical cable 4 inside, so as to prevent dust or impurities from falling on the optical cable 4 during splicing and affecting the splicing effect. It should be noted that a dust removal pipe 262 is connected to the dust cover 26, and the dust removal pipe 262 is connected to the air extraction device; before splicing, the dust removal pipe 262 is used to extract air from the dust cover 26, thereby removing impurities from the dust cover 26, further ensuring the splicing effect of the optical cable 4.

[0038] In summary, the electric telescopic rod 211 can move the first hinge rod 22, causing the fixing member 24 to move towards the housing 1, thereby enabling the loading of the optical cable 4. On the other hand, it can also transport the gas in the fixing sleeve 21 to the fixing member 24 through the first air pipe 212, causing the fixing member 24 to fix the optical cable 4, thus ensuring the stability of the optical cable 4 during movement. It can also move the second hinge rod 25, pulling the dust cover 26 to slide on the base plate 261. There are two sets of the second hinge rod 25. The two sets of the second hinge rod 25 drive the two sets of dust covers 26 to move closer to each other, covering the splicing part of the optical cable 4, preventing dust or impurities from falling on the optical cable 4 during splicing and affecting the splicing effect.
