Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of fiber optic sensor transportation technology, specifically a transportation device for fiber optic sensor production. Background Technology

[0002] A fiber optic sensor is a sensor that converts the state of a measured object into a measurable optical signal. The working principle of a fiber optic sensor is as follows: a light beam incident from a light source is sent through an optical fiber to a modulator. Within the modulator, the interaction with the external measured parameters causes changes in the optical properties of the light, such as intensity, wavelength, frequency, phase, and polarization state, becoming a modulated optical signal. This modulated signal is then sent through an optical fiber to a photoelectric device and, after passing through a demodulator, the measured parameters are obtained. Throughout the process, the light beam is guided through the optical fiber, passes through the modulator, and then exits. The optical fiber's primary function is to transmit the light beam, and secondarily, it acts as an optical modulator.

[0003] During the production process, fiber optic sensors need to be transported. However, existing transport devices cannot classify fiber optic sensors during transport, leading to squeezing and collisions between sensors and causing damage. Therefore, a more advanced transport device for fiber optic sensor production is needed to solve the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above situation and to overcome the defects of the prior art, this utility model provides a transportation device for the production of fiber optic sensors, which effectively solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a transport device for producing fiber optic sensors, comprising a base plate, universal wheels fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the base plate, a box with an open top surface fixedly connected to the top of the base plate, a servo motor fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the box, a vertically upward screw fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor, a first plate being threaded onto the surface of the screw, two symmetrical support rods fixedly connected to the top surface of the first plate, a second plate fixedly connected to the top surface of the support rods, two first placement slots for holding large fiber optic sensors being opened on the top surface of the first plate, two sets of symmetrical second placement slots being opened on the top surface of the second plate for holding small fiber optic sensors, springs fixedly connected to the four sides of the inner wall of the second placement slots, clamps fixedly connected to the ends of the springs, the clamps being able to assist in clamping and fixing the fiber optic sensors in the second placement slots, and two cover plates being provided on the top surface of the second plate to seal each set of second placement slots respectively.

[0006] Furthermore, limit rings are fixedly fitted to the top and bottom of the outer peripheral surface of the screw.

[0007] Furthermore, the top surface of the second plate has a through hole for the screw and the limiting ring to pass through.

[0008] Furthermore, two sets of left-right symmetrical fixing blocks are fixed to the top surface of the second plate. Each set of fixing blocks consists of two front-to-back symmetrical fixing blocks. A rotating rod is rotatably installed between the two front-to-back symmetrical fixing blocks. A cover plate is fixed to the surface of the rotating rod. A torsion spring is provided at both ends of the rotating rod. One end of the torsion spring is fixed to the side of the fixing block, and the other end of the torsion spring is fixed to the surface of the rotating rod. When the torsion spring is not subjected to external force, the cover plate will seal the corresponding set of second placement slots.

[0009] Furthermore, the outer peripheral surfaces of both the first and second plates are tightly attached to the inner wall of the box, and the first plate will not be moved out of the box.

[0010] Furthermore, a handle is fixedly attached to one side of the top surface of the base plate.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] This invention not only enables the classification and transportation of different types of fiber optic sensors, but also allows for the separate placement of smaller fiber optic sensors during transportation to prevent them from rubbing against each other and generating static electricity. Specifically, before transporting the fiber optic sensors, the servo motor is first activated, causing the screw to rotate in the opposite direction. This reverse rotation moves the first plate upwards, allowing the second plate to be removed from the housing. Larger sensors are then placed into the two first placement slots, with each slot holding only one large fiber optic sensor. The cover is then opened, and smaller sensors are sequentially placed into the second placement slots. After placement, the cover is released, and it resets under the action of a torsion spring, sealing the second placement slots. Transporting the fiber optic sensors is then completed by simply holding the handle and pushing the base plate. During transportation, springs and clamps within the second placement slots limit the movement of the fiber optic sensors, preventing them from shaking. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Example 1, by Figure 1-5 This utility model discloses a transport device for fiber optic sensor production, including a base plate 1. Universal wheels 3 are fixedly attached to the four corners of the bottom of the base plate 1. A box 2 with an open top surface is fixedly attached to the top of the base plate 1. A servo motor 5 is fixedly attached to the bottom of the inner wall of the box 2. A vertically upward screw 6 is fixedly attached to the output end of the servo motor 5. A first plate 8 is threaded onto the surface of the screw 6. Two symmetrical support rods 10 are fixedly attached to the top surface of the first plate 8. A second plate 9 is fixedly attached to the top surface of the support rods 10. The top of the first plate 8... The top surface of the second plate 9 has two first placement slots 17 for holding large fiber optic sensors. The top surface of the second plate 9 has two sets of left-right symmetrical second placement slots 11 for holding small fiber optic sensors. Springs 18 are fixed to the inner walls of the second placement slots 11. Clamping plates 19 are fixed to the ends of the springs 18. The clamping plates 19 can assist in clamping and fixing the fiber optic sensors in the second placement slots 11. The top surface of the second plate 9 is provided with two cover plates 15 that can seal each set of second placement slots 11 respectively.

[0022] according to Figure 1 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, limiting rings 7 are fixedly sleeved on the top and bottom of the outer peripheral surface of the screw 6. The limiting rings 7 can prevent the first plate 8 from falling off the screw 6.

[0023] according to Figure 2 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, the top surface of the second plate 9 is provided with a through hole 16 for the screw 6 and the limiting ring 7 to pass through, and the through hole 16 allows the second plate 9 to enter the housing 2.

[0024] according to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, two sets of left-right symmetrical fixing blocks 12 are fixed to the top surface of the second plate 9. Each set of fixing blocks 12 consists of two front-to-back symmetrical fixing blocks 12. A rotating rod 13 is rotatably installed between the two front-to-back symmetrical fixing blocks 12. A cover plate 15 is fixed to the surface of the rotating rod 13. Torsion springs 14 are provided at both ends of the rotating rod 13. One end of the torsion spring 14 is fixed to the side of the fixing block 12, and the other end of the torsion spring 14 is fixed to the surface of the rotating rod 13. When the torsion spring 14 is not subjected to external force, the cover plate 15 will seal the corresponding set of second placement slots 11. The cover plate 15 can prevent the fiber optic sensor from falling out of the second placement slot 11.

[0025] according to Figure 1 As shown, the outer peripheral surfaces of the first plate 8 and the second plate 9 are tightly attached to the inner wall of the housing 2, and the first plate 8 will not move out of the housing 2, so that the first plate 8 and the second plate 9 can smoothly cooperate with the screw 6 and perform lifting and lowering activities, and the first plate 8 and the second plate 9 will not be misaligned during the lifting and lowering process.

[0026] according to Figure 1 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, a handle 4 is fixedly connected to one side of the top surface of the base plate 1, which allows workers to easily push the base plate 1.

[0027] Working principle: Before transporting the fiber optic sensor, firstly, the servo motor 5 is turned on in the opposite direction. The servo motor 5 drives the screw 6 to rotate in the opposite direction. The reverse rotation of the screw 6 allows the first plate 8 to move upward, thereby allowing the second plate 9 to be moved out of the box 2. Then, the large sensors are placed into the two first placement slots 17, with each first placement slot 17 holding only one large fiber optic sensor. Then, the cover plate 15 is opened, and the small sensors are placed one by one into the second placement slot 11. After placement, the cover plate 15 is released, and the cover plate 15 will be reset under the action of the torsion spring 14, sealing the second placement slot 11. At this time, simply hold the handle 4 and push the base plate 1 to complete the transport of the fiber optic sensor. During the transport process, the spring 18 and the clamping plate 19 in the second placement slot 11 can limit the fiber optic sensor in the second placement slot 11, so that it will not shake in the second placement slot 11.
