Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of optical fiber manufacturing equipment technology, and in particular to an integrated device for optical fiber manufacturing stripping, cleaning, and cutting, and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] In the manufacturing process of optical fiber communication devices, the processing quality of the fiber end face directly determines the transmission efficiency and connection reliability of optical signals. After the optical fiber is drawn from the preform, it usually needs to undergo two key processes: stripping and cutting, before it can be used for fusion splicing, termination, or device packaging.

[0003] In the stripping process, the optical fiber surface is coated with an organic protective layer such as acrylate. Before end-face treatment, this coating must be removed from a specific length of the fiber to expose the bare fiber. The surface of the bare fiber after stripping needs to be thoroughly cleaned to remove residual coating debris and contaminants to ensure the quality of subsequent cutting and splicing. In the cutting process, this is used to prepare the bare fiber end face into a flat, smooth, and precisely angled fracture surface.

[0004] However, in current fiber stripping and cleaning processes, the surface coating of the fiber is usually stripped manually, and then the bare fiber is wiped with a wiping cloth. However, when the bare fiber is wiped manually, coating residue and debris are left on the wiping cloth. Reusing the wiping cloth with coating residue and debris to wipe the bare fiber can easily lead to secondary pollution. Therefore, this solution proposes an integrated fiber stripping, cleaning, and cutting device and its usage method to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention proposes an integrated device for stripping, cleaning and cutting optical fibers and its usage method, in order to solve the technical problem that when the surface of bare fibers is cleaned manually, the coating residue and debris generated during wiping will remain on the cleaning cloth, and when the cleaning cloth with the coating residue and debris is reused to clean bare fibers, it will easily lead to secondary pollution.

The end of the winding shaft that passes through the winding base has a rectangular shaft end; The clamping spring and the clamping ring are both movably sleeved on the rectangular shaft end, and the two ends of the clamping spring abut against the coil seat and the clamping ring respectively; The lower clamping block is connected to the end of the rectangular shaft and is used to position the clamping ring in place.

[0012] Based on the above technical solutions, preferably, the feeding assembly includes a base, a lifting seat, a first telescopic cylinder, a clamping base, and a clamping flip cover, wherein, The first telescopic cylinder is mounted on the base, and the lifting seat is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the first telescopic cylinder.

The clamp base has a lower clamping groove, and the clamping flip cover has an upper clamping groove that matches the shape of the lower clamping groove. The lower clamping groove cooperates with the upper clamping groove to clamp the optical fiber.

[0013] Based on the above technical solutions, preferably, the cutting assembly includes a lower cutting base, a cutting blade, and an upper cutting flip cover, wherein, A cutting blade is disposed on the lower cutting base, and the cutting blade has a cutting opening for bare fibers to pass through; The upper cutting flip cover is rotatably mounted on the lower cutting base and can rotate in a direction closer to or further away from the cutting blade to cooperate with the cutting blade to cut bare fibers.

[0014] Based on the above technical solutions, the preferred embodiment also includes a lifting cylinder, an assembly base, a second air amplifier, and a waste fiber collection bin, wherein... A lifting cylinder is disposed on one side of the cutting assembly, and the mounting base is disposed on the telescopic end of the lifting cylinder; A second air amplifier is disposed on the mounting base, and the air inlet of the second air amplifier forms a second negative pressure suction channel, which extends to the cutting blade. The waste fiber collection chamber is connected to the air outlet of the second air amplifier, and a second chamber cover is connected to the waste fiber collection chamber.

[0015] This invention also proposes a method for using an integrated fiber manufacturing stripping and cutting device, which, through the aforementioned integrated fiber manufacturing stripping and cutting device, includes the following steps: S1. The optical fiber to be stripped, cleaned, and cut is picked up by the feeding assembly; S2. Adjust the feeding component to move to the stripping component, and strip the coating layer on the surface of the optical fiber through the stripping component. S3. After the coating on the surface of the optical fiber is stripped off, adjust the bare fiber to move to the cleaning platform and insert the stripped bare fiber between the two cleaning clamps. S4. Adjust the two cleaning grippers to move towards each other simultaneously using the pneumatic grippers, so that the cleanroom cleaning cloth on the cleaning grippers is evenly wrapped on the bare fiber, and adjust the winding part to wind up the cleanroom cleaning cloth to complete the cleaning treatment of the bare fiber. S5. After cleaning, adjust the feeding component to move to the cutting component, and complete the cutting process of the bare fiber through the cutting component.

[0016] The integrated optical fiber manufacturing, stripping, and cutting device and its usage method of the present invention have the following advantages over the prior art: (1) The integrated device of this application, by setting the feeding component, stripping component, and cutting component all inside the housing, allows the application to sequentially complete the stripping and cutting of optical fibers without removing the optical fibers for transfer during the stripping and cutting process. By setting both cleaning clamps at the cleaning platform and having the cleanroom cleaning cloth bypass the two cleaning clamps, the two cleaning clamps can be adjusted to move towards each other by the pneumatic gripper during the cleaning process, so that the cleanroom cleaning cloth at both cleaning clamps is in contact with the bare fiber, improving the cleaning effect on the bare fiber. By setting the unwinding component and the winding component, the cleanroom cleaning cloth can be wound up by adjusting the winding component during the cleaning process, so that the cleanroom cleaning cloth moves continuously along the surface of the bare fiber. The continuously moving cleanroom cleaning cloth can improve the cleaning effect on the bare fiber. The cleaning cloth effectively cleans the bare fibers, ensuring a consistently clean, dust-free cleaning cloth section. This prevents the cloth containing impurities from repeatedly cleaning the bare fibers, thus improving the cleaning effect. By positioning the central idler shaft at the midpoint between the two cleaning clamps, the cleaning cloth extends beyond the clamps as it passes the central idler shaft. This allows the extended cleaning cloth to fully cover the surface of the bare fibers when the two clamps are moved in opposite directions, enhancing the cleaning effect and making the process convenient to use.

[0017] (2) By setting the lower and upper cleanroom wipe clamps to clamp the winding drum from both sides, the lower and upper cleanroom wipe clamps can fully limit the cleanroom cleaning cloth wound on the winding drum from both sides, improving the movement stability of the cleanroom cleaning cloth. At the same time, since the lower and upper cleanroom wipe clamps apply clamping force to the cleanroom cleaning cloth, when the cleanroom cleaning cloth is removed, the cleanroom wipe clamps can apply stable tension to the cleanroom cleaning cloth, preventing the cleanroom cleaning cloth from being loose and unable to completely cover the surface of the bare fiber, thus improving the cleaning effect of the cleanroom cleaning cloth on the bare fiber. By setting the upper cleanroom wipe clamp as a star-shaped clamp, the cleanroom wipe clamps can clamp the cleanroom cleaning cloth from multiple points, while preventing the cleanroom cleaning cloth from deforming due to too many clamping surfaces, which is convenient to use.

[0018] (3) By setting the feeding assembly including a clamping base and a clamping flip cover, when it is necessary to clamp the optical fiber through the feeding assembly, the lower clamping groove on the clamping base can cooperate with the upper clamping groove on the clamping flip cover to stably clamp the optical fiber. By setting the cutting assembly including a cutting blade and an upper cutting flip cover, when cutting the bare fiber, the upper cutting flip cover can be adjusted to rotate. The upper cutting flip cover presses down on the bare fiber, and the cutting blade completes the cutting of the bare fiber. At the same time, as the cutting flip cover rotates and applies pressure, the downward pressure applied to the bare fiber gradually increases, preventing the problem of accidental edge breakage or uneven cut caused by a large cutting force applied to the bare fiber at one time, which is convenient to use.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] like Figures 1-8As shown, the integrated fiber stripping and dicing device of the present invention includes a housing 1, a feeding assembly 2, a stripping assembly 3, a dicing assembly 4, cleaning clamps 51, an unwinding component 52, a winding component 53, a transition idler wheel shaft 55, a center idler wheel shaft 56, and a pneumatic gripper 57. The feeding assembly 2, the stripping assembly 3, and the dicing assembly 4 are all disposed inside the housing 1, and the stripping assembly 3 and the dicing assembly 4 are both located on one side of the feeding assembly 2. The feeding assembly 2 is used to clamp the optical fiber and supply it to the stripping assembly 3 and the dicing assembly 4. The stripping assembly 3 is used to strip and clean the optical fiber, and the dicing assembly 4 is used to dic the bare fiber. The stripping assembly 3 forms a cleaning platform 321, and two cleaning clamps 51 are slidably disposed on the cleaning platform 321. The unwinding component 52... Both the unwinding component 52 and the winding component 53 are located on one side of the stripping and washing assembly 3. The unwinding component 52 has a cleanroom cleaning cloth 54 wound around it, and the cleanroom cleaning cloth 54 passes around the two washing clamps 51 and is wound onto the winding component 53. Two transition idler shafts 55 are respectively located between the washing clamps 51 and the unwinding component 52 or the winding component 53. The middle idler shaft 56 is located on the washing platform 321 and is located at the center between the two washing clamps 51. The cleanroom cleaning cloth 54 passes around the two transition idler shafts 55 and the middle idler shaft 56. The periphery of the washing clamps 51 is provided with a limiting groove 511 that is limited and connected to the cleanroom cleaning cloth 54. The air gripper 57 is located on the stripping and washing assembly 3 and is used to drive the two washing clamps 51 to move towards each other or away from each other at the same time.

[0024] In practice, the feeding component 2 clamps the optical fiber to be stripped and cut; the feeding component 2 is adjusted to move to the stripping component 3, and the stripping component 3 peels off the coating layer on the surface of the optical fiber; after the coating layer on the surface of the optical fiber is peeled off, the bare fiber is adjusted to move to the cleaning platform 321, and the stripped bare fiber is inserted between the two cleaning clamping arms 51; the two cleaning clamping arms 51 are adjusted to move towards each other simultaneously by the pneumatic gripper 57, so that the cleanroom cleaning cloth 54 on the cleaning clamping arms 51 is covered on the bare fiber, and the winding component 53 is adjusted to wind up the cleanroom cleaning cloth 54. At this time, the cleanroom cleaning cloth 54 wound on the unwinding component 52 is extracted, and after passing through the transition idler shaft 55, the cleaning clamping arms 51 and the middle idler shaft 56, the cleanroom cleaning cloth 54 on both sides of the middle idler shaft 56 can simultaneously complete the cleaning treatment of the bare fiber; after cleaning, the feeding component 2 is adjusted to move to the cutting component 4, and the cutting component 4 completes the cutting treatment of the bare fiber.

[0025] The integrated device of this application, by setting the feeding component 2, the stripping and cleaning component 3, and the cutting component 4 all inside the housing 1, allows the device to sequentially complete the stripping and cleaning and cutting of optical fibers without removing the optical fibers for transfer during the stripping and cleaning and cutting process. By setting two cleaning clamps 51 at the cleaning platform 321, and having the cleanroom cleaning cloth 54 bypass the two cleaning clamps 51, the two cleaning clamps 51 can be adjusted to move towards each other via the pneumatic gripper 57 during the cleaning of the bare fiber. This ensures that the cleanroom cleaning cloth 54 at both cleaning clamps 51 is in contact with the bare fiber, improving the cleaning effect. By setting an unwinding component 52 and a winding component 53, the cleanroom cleaning cloth 54 can be wound up by adjusting the winding component 53 during the cleaning of the bare fiber, allowing the cleanroom cleaning cloth 54 to continuously move along the surface of the bare fiber. The continuously moving cleanroom cleaning cloth 54 can improve the cleaning effect. The cleaning effect of the cleanroom cleaning cloth 54 is improved, and the cleanroom cleaning cloth 54 section is kept clean to clean the bare fibers. This prevents the cleanroom cleaning cloth 54 containing impurities from repeatedly cleaning the bare fibers, thus improving the cleaning effect. By setting the middle idler shaft 56 at the middle position between the two cleaning clamp arms 51, the cleanroom cleaning cloth 54 extends out of the cleaning clamp arm 51 when it passes the middle idler shaft 56. In this way, when the two cleaning clamp arms 51 are adjusted to move towards each other, the cleanroom cleaning cloth 54 with the extended cleaning clamp arm 51 can fully cover the surface of the bare fibers, improving the cleaning effect and making it convenient to use.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, the stripping and cleaning assembly 3 includes a lower stripping assembly 31, an upper cleaning assembly 32, and a rear accessory assembly 33. The lower stripping assembly 31 and the upper cleaning assembly 32 are both disposed on the side of the rear accessory assembly 33 near the feeding assembly 2, and the lower stripping assembly 31 is located below the upper cleaning assembly 32. It is used to strip the coating layer on the surface of the optical fiber. A stripping channel 311 is formed on the lower stripping assembly 31, and a thermal stripping knife 34 is movably connected inside the stripping channel 311. A cleaning platform 321 is formed on the upper cleaning assembly 32. An unwinding component 52, a winding component 53, and a transition idler shaft 55 are all disposed on the rear accessory assembly 33.

[0027] This design, by positioning the lower stripping assembly 31 below the upper cleaning assembly 32, prevents the coating layer stripped from the lower stripping assembly 31 from contaminating the upper cleaning assembly 32, thereby improving the cleaning effect on the optical fiber.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the system further includes a first air amplifier 61, a coating layer collection chamber 62, and a first chamber cover 63. The first air amplifier 61 is located on the side of the lower peeling assembly 31 near the rear accessory assembly 33. A coating layer removal channel 312 is formed below the inner cavity of the peeling channel 311, and the air inlet of the first air amplifier 61 forms a first negative pressure suction channel 611, which is connected to the coating layer removal channel 312 for negative pressure suction of the coating layer peeled off by the hot peeling knife 34. The coating layer collection chamber 62 is located at the rear accessory assembly 33 and is connected to the air outlet of the first air amplifier 61 for collecting the coating layer suctioned by negative pressure. The first chamber cover 63 is connected to the opening 621 of the coating layer collection chamber 62 by connecting bolts 632, and a vent hole 631 is formed on the first chamber cover 63.

[0029] This design allows the first air amplifier 61 to generate negative pressure to continuously absorb the thermally stripped coating, thus maintaining the fiber stripping and cutting process in a dust-free environment while preventing the thermally stripped coating from contaminating the fiber at the upper cleaning assembly 32.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the unwinding component 52 and the winding component 53 are adapted to each other. The unwinding component 52 includes a roll base 521, a rotating shaft 522, a winding drum 523, a lower cleanroom cloth clamping plate 524, and an upper cleanroom cloth clamping plate 525. The rotating shaft 522 is movably mounted on the roll base 521, and the winding drum 523 is fixedly connected to the periphery of the rotating shaft 522. The cleanroom cleaning cloth 54 is wound on the winding drum 523. The lower cleanroom cloth clamping plate 524 and the upper cleanroom cloth clamping plate 525 are both movably mounted on the rotating shaft 522, and the winding drum 523 is located between the lower cleanroom cloth clamping plate 524 and the upper cleanroom cloth clamping plate 525. The upper cleanroom cloth clamping plate 525 is a star-shaped cleanroom cloth clamping plate. The lower cleanroom cloth clamping plate 524 and the upper cleanroom cloth clamping plate 525 are used to clamp the winding drum 523 from both ends.

[0031] By setting the lower cleanroom wipe clamp 524 and the upper cleanroom wipe clamp 525 to clamp the winding drum 523 from both sides, the lower cleanroom wipe clamp 524 and the upper cleanroom wipe clamp 525 can fully limit the cleanroom cleaning cloth 54 wound on the winding drum 523 from both sides, thereby improving the movement stability of the cleanroom cleaning cloth 54. At the same time, since the lower cleanroom wipe clamp 524 and the upper cleanroom wipe clamp 525 apply clamping force to the cleanroom cleaning cloth 54, when the cleanroom cleaning cloth 54 is removed, the cleanroom wipe clamp 524 and the upper cleanroom wipe clamp 525 can apply stable tension to the cleanroom cleaning cloth 54, preventing the cleanroom cleaning cloth 54 from being loose and unable to completely cover the surface of the bare fiber, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the cleanroom cleaning cloth 54 on the bare fiber. By setting the cleanroom cloth clamp 525 as a star-shaped clamp, the cleanroom cloth clamp 525 can clamp the cleanroom cleaning cloth 54 from multiple points, while preventing deformation due to excessive clamping surface of the cleanroom cleaning cloth 54, making it convenient to use.

[0032] It also includes an upper locking block 526 and a locking pin 527. The upper locking block 526 is mounted on the upper lint-free cloth clamp 525 and has multiple locking holes 5261. The end of the rotating shaft 522 has a slot 5221. The locking pin 527 is an arched frame with two pin arms 5271. The pin arms 5271 pass through the locking holes 5261 and are engaged with the inside of the slot 5221 to position the upper locking block 526 relative to the rotating shaft 522.

[0033] This design, by inserting the locking pin 527 into the locking hole 5261 and the slot 5221, can position the upper cleanroom cloth clamp 525 relative to the roller shaft 522, preventing the upper cleanroom cloth clamp 525 from accidentally deflecting relative to the roller shaft 522, which would cause the upper cleanroom cloth clamp 525 to accidentally squeeze the cleanroom cleaning cloth 54, making it convenient to use.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the device further includes a clamping spring 71, a clamping ring 72, and a lower clamping block 73. The winding shaft 522 has a rectangular shaft end 5222 at one end passing through the winding base 521. The clamping spring 71 and the clamping ring 72 are both movably sleeved on the rectangular shaft end 5222, and the two ends of the clamping spring 71 abut against the winding base 521 and the clamping ring 72, respectively. The lower clamping block 73 is connected to the end of the rectangular shaft end 5222 and is used to position the clamping ring 72.

[0035] With this design, the clamping ring 72 applies force to compress the clamping spring 71. The compressed clamping spring 71 continuously applies frictional force to the roll base 521. Since the end of the roll shaft 522 that passes through the roll base 521 forms a rectangular shaft end 5222, the rotational force of the roll shaft 522 is transmitted to the lower clamping block 73 and the clamping ring 72. Thus, when the roll shaft 522 rotates, the frictional force continuously applied by the clamping spring 71 will apply a certain tension to the cleanroom cleaning cloth 54, improving the cleaning stability of the cleanroom cleaning cloth 54 for the optical fiber.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the feeding assembly 2 includes a base 21, a lifting seat 22, a first telescopic cylinder 23, a clamping base 24, and a clamping flip cover 25. The first telescopic cylinder 23 is disposed on the base 21, and the lifting seat 22 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the first telescopic cylinder 23. The clamping base 24 is disposed on the lifting seat 22, and the clamping flip cover 25 is rotatably disposed on the clamping base 24. The clamping base 24 has a lower clamping groove 241, and the clamping flip cover 25 has an upper clamping groove 251 that matches the shape of the lower clamping groove 241. The lower clamping groove 241 cooperates with the upper clamping groove 251 to clamp the optical fiber.

[0037] In specific implementation, a snap-fit ​​protrusion 242 is formed on one side of the clamp base 24, and a clamping bracket 252 is connected to the side of the corresponding snap-fit ​​protrusion 242 of the clamping flip cover 25. The snap-fit ​​protrusion 242 is an arc-shaped protrusion, and the clamping bracket 252 is used to snap-fit ​​with the snap-fit ​​protrusion 242.

[0038] This design ensures that when the clamping flip cover 25 is rotated to clamp onto the clamp base 24, the rotating bracket 252 engages with the arc-shaped bottom end of the clamping protrusion 242, thereby improving the clamping stability of the optical fiber by the clamping flip cover 25 in conjunction with the clamp base 24.

[0039] In practice, a guide post 26 is provided on the base 21, and a through hole 221 is provided on the lifting seat 22 for the guide post 26 to pass through.

[0040] This design improves the movement stability of the lifting seat 22 under the constraint of the guide column 26.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, the cutting assembly 4 includes a lower cutting base 41, a cutting blade 42, and an upper cutting flap 43. The cutting blade 42 is disposed on the lower cutting base 41 and has a cutting opening for the bare fiber to pass through. The upper cutting flap 43 is rotatably disposed on the lower cutting base 41 and rotates toward or away from the cutting blade 42 to cooperate with the cutting blade 42 in cutting the bare fiber. A handle 44 is provided on the upper cutting flap 43.

[0042] In practice, the cutting blade 42 is movably connected to the lower cutting base 41. A second telescopic cylinder 45 is provided below the lower cutting base 41, and the telescopic end of the second telescopic cylinder 45 is connected to a pusher frame 46. The pusher frame 46 is fixedly connected to the cutting blade 42.

[0043] This design allows for the adjustment of the cutting blade 42 by extending or retracting the extension end of the second telescopic cylinder 45, thereby moving the pusher holder 46 and completing the adjustment process. This makes it convenient to use.

[0044] By configuring the feeding assembly 2, which includes a clamping base 24 and a clamping flip cover 25, when the optical fiber needs to be clamped by the feeding assembly 2, the lower clamping groove 241 on the clamping base 24 can cooperate with the upper clamping groove 251 on the clamping flip cover 25 to stably clamp the optical fiber. By configuring the cutting assembly 4, which includes a cutting blade 42 and an upper cutting flip cover 43, when cutting the bare fiber, the upper cutting flip cover 43 can be adjusted to rotate. The upper cutting flip cover 43 presses down on the bare fiber, and the cutting blade 42 completes the cutting of the bare fiber. At the same time, because the cutting flip cover 43 rotates and applies pressure, the downward pressure applied to the bare fiber gradually increases, preventing the bare fiber from accidentally chipping or producing an uneven cut due to a large cutting force applied at once, thus facilitating use.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment, the assembly further includes a lifting cylinder 81, a mounting base 82, a second air amplifier 83, and a waste fiber collection chamber 84. The lifting cylinder 81 is disposed on one side of the cutting assembly 4, and the mounting base 82 is disposed on the telescopic end of the lifting cylinder 81. The second air amplifier 83 is disposed on the mounting base 82, and the air inlet of the second air amplifier 83 forms a second negative pressure suction channel 831, which extends to the cutting blade 42. The waste fiber collection chamber 84 is connected to the air outlet of the second air amplifier 83, and a second chamber cover 85 is connected to the waste fiber collection chamber 84.

[0046] With this design, during the cutting of the optical fiber by the cutting blade 42, a negative pressure can be generated by the second air amplifier 83. The negative pressure generated by the second air amplifier 83 continuously sucks up the waste fiber generated during the cutting of the optical fiber through the second negative pressure suction channel 831 and stores it inside the waste fiber collection chamber 84, preventing the waste fiber from accumulating at the cutting blade 42 and affecting the cutting of the optical fiber by the cutting blade 42.

[0047] This invention also proposes a method for using an integrated fiber manufacturing stripping and cutting device, characterized in that: the process, accomplished using the aforementioned integrated fiber manufacturing stripping and cutting device, includes the following steps: Step 1: The optical fiber to be stripped, cleaned, and cut is picked up by the feeding assembly 2; Step 2: Adjust the feeding component 2 to move to the stripping component 3, and use the stripping component 3 to peel off the coating layer on the surface of the optical fiber; Step 3: After the coating layer on the surface of the optical fiber is stripped off, adjust the bare fiber to move to the cleaning platform 321 and insert the stripped bare fiber between the two cleaning clamps 51. Step 4: Adjust the two cleaning grippers 51 to move towards each other simultaneously using the air gripper 57, so that the cleanroom cleaning cloths 54 on the cleaning grippers 51 are all wrapped around the bare fibers. Adjust the winding component 53 to wind up the cleanroom cleaning cloths 54. At this time, the cleanroom cleaning cloths 54 wound on the unwinding component 52 are extracted and pass through the transition idler shaft 55, the cleaning grippers 51 and the middle idler shaft 56. The cleanroom cleaning cloths 54 on both sides of the middle idler shaft 56 can simultaneously complete the cleaning treatment of the bare fibers. Step 5: After cleaning, adjust the feeding component 2 to move to the cutting component 4, and complete the cutting process of the bare fiber through the cutting component 4.

[0048] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
