Thus, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present application, unless otherwise specified, "multiple" means two or more.

[0052] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0053] Fiber cutting and placement is an important part of the optical fiber manufacturing and application process, which mainly involves accurately cutting the optical fiber to a specific length (fiber cutting) and correctly placing it in a predetermined manner (placement). This process is crucial to ensure the quality and performance of optical fiber products. In the prior art, fiber cutting is mainly done by fiber cutting equipment, while fiber placement is done manually or by fiber placement equipment.

[0054] For manual fiber placement, workers need to manually apply high-temperature double-sided tape, remove release paper, and accurately place the optical fiber on the double-sided tape according to specific spacing and length requirements to fix the optical fiber. Manual operation is not only inefficient, but also prone to errors. It is difficult to ensure the accuracy and consistency of optical fiber placement, resulting in a low yield rate.

[0055] For the fiber swinging equipment, the separate setting of the fiber swinging equipment and the fiber cutting equipment requires moving the optical fiber from the fiber cutting equipment to the fiber swinging equipment, increasing the production time; the two sets of equipment require more working space; it is necessary to invest in two sets of equipment, which increases the purchase and maintenance costs; the operators need to master the use and maintenance skills of the two sets of equipment, which increases the complexity of the operation; the coordination of the two production links is more complicated, requiring precise time management and process control, and there are difficulties in coordinating the production processes; these factors affect the overall production efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

[0056] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 In the first embodiment of the present application, a fiber cutting and placing structure 10 is proposed, and the fiber cutting and placing structure 10 includes a base 11, a positioning mechanism 12, a placing mechanism 13 and a fiber output mechanism 14; the base 11 is the foundation of the entire fiber cutting and placing machine, and the base 11 provides stable support for installing other mechanisms such as the positioning mechanism 12, the placing mechanism 13 and the fiber output mechanism 14; the base 11 can be set as a cabinet, and the interior of the cabinet is used to place electrical structures that cooperate with other mechanisms such as the positioning mechanism 12, the placing mechanism 13 and the fiber output mechanism 14.

[0057] The positioning mechanism 12 is arranged on the base 11, and a material tray 121 is arranged on the positioning mechanism 12. A tooling slot 122 is arranged on the side of the material tray 121 facing the placing mechanism 13. The material tray 121 cooperates with the placing mechanism 13 to swing the fiber by moving, and the tooling slot 122 is used to place a tooling strip with double-sided tape. Specifically, the positioning mechanism 12 is arranged on the base 11, and a movable material tray 121 is installed on the positioning mechanism 12. A tooling slot 122 specifically used for placing a tooling strip is arranged at one end of the material tray 121. The tooling strip in the tooling slot 122 is pre-affixed with double-sided tape for bonding the cut optical fiber. The material tray 121 moves to ensure the precise placement of the optical fiber.

[0058] The placing mechanism 13 is arranged on one side of the positioning mechanism 12, and the placing mechanism 13 is used to accurately stick the optical fiber to the tooling strip; specifically, the placing mechanism 13 is used to accurately stick the optical fiber to the tooling strip and ensure that each optical fiber can be accurately stuck to the corresponding position on the tooling strip.

[0059] The fiber-emitting mechanism 14 is arranged on the side of the placing mechanism 13 away from the positioning mechanism 12, and is provided with a fiber-emitting nozzle 142 and a V-shaped cutter 143 arranged toward the material tray 121. The fiber-emitting nozzle 142 is used to emit fiber to the material tray 121, and the V-shaped cutter 143 is used to cut the optical fiber; specifically, the fiber-emitting mechanism 14 is arranged on the base 11, and the fiber-emitting mechanism 14 is located on the side of the placing mechanism 13 away from the positioning mechanism 12. The fiber-emitting mechanism 14 is responsible for pulling out the optical fiber from the wire barrel 25 and cutting it to a predetermined length by the V-shaped cutter 143. The setting of the fiber-emitting mechanism 14 ensures the cutting accuracy and uniformity of the optical fiber.

[0060] The working process of the fiber cutting and placing structure 10 is as follows: after the fiber-out mechanism 14 has finished producing fibers, the material tray 121 moves to the bottom of the placing mechanism 13, and the placing mechanism 13 then accurately sticks the optical fiber on the tooling strip, and the fiber-out mechanism 14 cuts the fibers and completes the placing, and the material tray 121 moves again to repeat the above process to complete the next fiber swinging; the entire process of fiber cutting and fiber swinging can be carried out continuously, which significantly improves the production efficiency and the accuracy of the fiber placement. The present application greatly reduces the space occupied by the equipment, improves the production efficiency, and reduces the cost by setting the fiber cutting and placing structure 10 in an integrated manner.

The size and shape of the pressing groove 138 are set according to the specific size of the pressing block 134 to ensure that the pressing block 134 can pass through smoothly; in the process of fiber cutting and placement, when the optical fiber is delivered to the placement position by the fiber output mechanism 14, the first positioning claw 136 and the second positioning claw 137 are opened first, and then the optical fiber is clamped, waiting for the material tray 121 to move to the corresponding position, and then the pressing block 134 passes through the pressing groove 138 to press the optical fiber to ensure that the optical fiber is firmly attached to the double-sided tape on the tooling strip; the setting of the first positioning claw 136, the second positioning claw 137 and the pressing block 134 can realize the precise positioning and bonding of the optical fiber without damaging the optical fiber, thereby greatly improving the overall working efficiency and quality of the fiber cutting and placement machine.
