Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of electronic float technology, specifically to an integrated internal and external crystal hard tail of an electronic float and its processing technology. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the electronic floats on the market are available with several types of float tips, including bare optical fiber, water-shadow floats, and the emerging rigid fiberglass floats. Bare optical fiber float tips are prone to breakage, lack sufficient strength, and are too soft to provide adequate support. Water-shadow floats with PVC tubing are also prone to breakage, too soft, and have poor brightness, making them unsuitable for both day and night use. The emerging rigid fiberglass floats currently have excessively large outer diameters, thick walls, and are too heavy, resulting in poor light transmission, low brightness, and a tendency to crack, as well as insufficient strength.
[0003] In existing products, the optical fiber diameter is 0.5mm. 0.5mm optical fiber is too thin, making it particularly difficult to process in terms of fiber brightness, and the brightness is poor and does not meet the requirements. Using thicker optical fiber would be better, but the outer diameter of the glass fiber tube through which the thicker optical fiber is conducted is larger, and its weight will be much heavier. Moreover, the glass fiber tube cannot be made completely transparent, and there are gaps between the optical fiber and the glass fiber, which will dilute and weaken the brightness transmitted by the optical fiber. Furthermore, when the glass fiber tube is relatively thin, it is easy to break along the fiber texture and let water in during frequent throwing and dropping. Its strength depends on the wall thickness to ensure, but the thicker the wall, the heavier it is, which is not the direction we are looking for.
[0004] In view of this, the present invention is hereby proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an integrated crystal hard tail for electronic floats and its processing technology. The integrated crystal hard tail of electronic floats prepared by the processing technology of this invention is lightweight, fine, bright and has strong toughness, which solves the problems of dull brightness, poor toughness and heavy weight of electronic float tails in existing products.
[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned objectives of the present invention, the following technical solution is adopted:
[0007] The first aspect of this invention provides a processing technology for an integrated internal and external crystal hard tail of an electronic float, the processing technology for the integrated internal and external crystal hard tail of the electronic float comprising the following steps:
[0008] (a) Fit the glass fiber tube onto the optical fiber at the tail of the electronic float;
[0009] (b) Use epoxy resin to fill the gap between the glass fiber tube and the optical fiber;
[0010] (c) Polish the fiberglass tube.
[0011] Preferably, the inner diameter of the glass fiber tube is 0.55 to 0.8 mm.
[0012] Preferably, the glass fiber tube is a tapered glass fiber tube.
[0013] Preferably, the outer diameter of the large-diameter end of the tapered glass fiber tube is 1.0 to 1.2 mm, and the outer diameter of the small-diameter end is 0.75 to 1.0 mm.
[0014] Preferably, the diameter of the optical fiber is 0.5 to 0.75 mm.
[0015] Preferably, the epoxy resin adhesive is epoxy resin crystal epoxy resin.
[0016] Preferably, the grinding process involves grinding the wall thickness of the glass fiber tube to below 0.15 mm.
[0017] Preferably, when the glass fiber tube is a tapered glass fiber tube, the thickness removed by grinding is the wall thickness of the tapered glass fiber tube at the small diameter end.
[0018] The second aspect of the present invention provides an integrated crystal hard tail for an electronic float prepared by the above-mentioned processing technology.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention include at least the following:
[0020] In the processing of this invention, epoxy resin is used to fill the gap between the glass fiber tube and the optical fiber, so that the glass fiber tube and the optical fiber are bonded together to form a whole. The flexibility of the optical fiber and the rigidity of the glass fiber are combined, making the optical fiber straighter, while the glass fiber tube can also become more flexible and will not break. The epoxy resin has good transparency, which can conduct light through without gaps from the inside to the outside, which will greatly increase the brightness of the light.
[0021] In the processing of this invention, the glass fiber tube is polished, and with the use of large-diameter optical fibers that offer better brightness, the wall thickness of the glass fiber tube is made extremely thin and light, with better light transmission. The toughness is further enhanced when the glass fiber tube is bonded to the optical fiber with epoxy resin to form a whole. As a result, the electronic float product is lightweight, thin, bright, stiff, tough, and strong. In addition, compared with products made from copper wire lamps and FPC and other multi-source materials, the electronic float of this invention has only one light source, resulting in lower energy consumption and better practicality and stability.
