Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automation equipment technology, specifically to an automatic fiber optic assembly machine. Background Technology

[0002] Fiber optic connectors are core passive components of optical communication systems, and their assembly quality directly determines optical signal transmission loss, return loss, and long-term system stability. Currently, the pre-assembly of fiber optic pigtails and ferrules, as well as the final assembly of fiber optic assemblies, generally employ manual or semi-automated segmented operations. Manual fiber stripping, cutting, and ferrule alignment are difficult to control in terms of precision, easily leading to fiber breakage, excessive insertion loss, and large fluctuations in product yield. Secondly, manual dispensing suffers from poor consistency; uneven glue application can easily cause sealing failure or glue overflow contamination, and UV curing is mostly an offline operation, making it difficult to match production cycles. Furthermore, manual operations are labor-intensive and require highly skilled operators, which can no longer meet the demands of large-scale, high-precision production brought about by the rapid development of the optical communication industry. While existing semi-automated equipment can automate processes such as ferrule dispensing, its functional integration is low, requiring segmented operations. These segmented operations involve multiple transfers and handling, resulting in low production efficiency and the introduction of secondary pollution such as dust during the transfer process.

[0029] Working Principle: When using this invention, the fiber optic tail sleeve and ferrule are assembled by the fiber optic accessory assembly device 2. The first robot 22 picks up the tail sleeve and ferrule from two flexible vibrating plates 24 respectively and places them on the first fixture 26. The material box 23 feeds the flexible vibrating plates 24. The first conveyor 25 transports the first fixture 26 containing the tail sleeve and ferrule to the pre-assembly station. The first linear module 27 drives the pusher 28 to feed horizontally. The pusher 28 pushes the tail sleeve into the ferrule. Then, the first conveyor 25 transports the first fixture 26 to the first dispensing station. The first three-axis moving stage 29 drives the first dispensing cylinder 210 to move above the workpiece. The first dispensing cylinder 210 dispenses glue according to the set pressure / time. At the same time, the X / Y axes of the first three-axis moving stage 29 drive... The dispensing head moves at a constant speed along the window contour, and the dispensing height is synchronously controlled by the Z-axis of the first three-axis moving stage 29 to complete continuous dispensing. Then, the first conveyor 25 transports the first fixture 26 to the glue suction station. The glue suction device 211 removes excess glue through negative pressure suction. The first conveyor 25 then transports the first fixture 26 to the material waiting station, where it is inspected by an electronic magnifying glass and awaits material removal. During the dispensing process, the first CCD vision detector 212 identifies whether the dispensing position, glue quantity, and glue type meet the process requirements. The fiber optic accessory installation device 3 installs the fiber optic tail sleeve and ferrule onto the product. The product is manually clamped onto the third conveyor 320, which then transports the product to the loading station. The second pneumatic gripper 319 picks up the product and transfers it to… On the second fixture 33, during this process, the third linear module 315 drives the second moving seat 316 to achieve horizontal displacement, and the cylinder 317 on the second moving seat 316 drives the third moving seat 318 to achieve vertical lifting, thereby driving the second pneumatic gripper 319 to complete multi-dimensional material handling. The multi-station turntable 32 rotates one station to transfer the second fixture 33 containing the product to the fiber stripping station. The fiber stripper 321 uses an infrared / ultraviolet pulsed laser beam to precisely focus, using the photothermal effect to instantly vaporize and decompose the outer coating material of the optical fiber, achieving non-contact stripping. With the help of focusing and rotation control, 360° uniform stripping can be achieved. The multi-station turntable 32 rotates one station to transfer the second fixture 33 containing the product to the cutting station, where the cutting device... 322 cuts bare fibers to a preset standard length. The cutter 322 collimates and focuses a high-energy-density laser beam to form a micron-sized spot, instantly melting / vaporizing the fiber material for non-contact cutting. An auxiliary airflow removes molten residue, ensuring a clean end face. During stripping and cutting, the dust absorber 325 uses a negative pressure system to create a directional airflow at the processing station, directly drawing in coating dust, vaporized residue, and harmful fumes generated during the process into the filtration system. The multi-station rotary table 32 rotates one station, transferring the second fixture 33 containing the product to the cleaning station. The cleaner 323 drives the fourth moving seat 3232 via the fourth linear module 3231, bringing the clamp 3233 to the cleaning position, where it holds the product.The non-woven fabric tape 3235 is attached to the surface of the optical fiber. The tape, driven by the material tray 3234, transmission rollers 3236, and take-up rollers 3237, moves on the fixture 3233, wiping away debris and oil from the optical fiber surface. The multi-station rotary table machine 32 rotates one station, transferring the second fixture 33 containing the product to the fiber insertion station. Simultaneously, the picking robot 36 removes the assembled tail sleeve and ferrule from the picking station and places them in the corresponding mounting position on the second fixture 33. The second linear module 34 drives the first moving seat 35, enabling the picking robot 36 to transfer the product across stations. The fiber optic connector 37 automatically aligns and inserts the optical fiber and ferrule. Within the connector 37, the second three-axis moving stage 371 drives the angle adjusting stage 372 to perform three-axis movement adjustment. The angle adjusting stage 372 adjusts the angle of the first pneumatic gripper 373, which then clamps the workpiece, completing the insertion of the optical fiber and ferrule. The multi-station rotary table 32 rotates one station, transferring the second fixture 33 containing the product to the second robot 312's material handling station. The second robot 312 picks up the product and transfers it to the fixed-length station. The fifth linear module 326 drives the fixed-length block 327 to position the product... The optical fiber undergoes precise angle and length correction, and end-face inspection is completed simultaneously. The second robot 312 transfers the product to the second dispensing station, where the second dispensing cylinder 39, driven by the third three-axis moving table 38, performs front-side dispensing. The second robot 312 then transfers the product to the third dispensing station, where the third dispensing cylinder 311, driven by the fourth three-axis moving table 310, performs reverse-side dispensing. Finally, the second robot 312 transfers the product to the second conveyor 313, which transports it to the drying station. The UV curing chamber 314 rapidly cures the adhesive through ultraviolet light, and the product is then conveyed to… The product is unloaded at the unloading station. The fiber inserter 37, the second glue applicator 39, the third glue applicator 311, and the cleaner 323 are all monitored in real-time by the second CCD vision detector 324 at their corresponding positions to ensure that each process meets the process standards. If the cleaner 323 fails to clean properly, a second cleaning is automatically performed. The frame 1 supports the first support 21 and the second support 31. The first support 21 supports the first robot 22, the material box 23, and the flexible vibrating plate 24. The second support 31 supports the third three-axis moving stage 38 and the fourth three-axis moving stage 310.
