Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of optical elements, and in particular relates to an optical fiber hanger. Background Art
[0002] When processing optical fiber, in addition to setting the processing parameters, it is also necessary to consider the problem of optical fiber feeding. The existing method is to pass the optical fiber through the plastic tube fixed on the top of the workshop by polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and the optical fiber is delivered and fed by sliding in the PVC plastic tube. However, under normal circumstances, the inlet and outlet curvature of the PVC plastic tube is small, and it is difficult to achieve the minimum bending radius required for optical fiber transmission, which affects the transmission efficiency of the optical fiber and even causes certain damage to the optical fiber during the transmission process. In addition, since the processing head used for optical fiber processing is usually mounted on a CNC machine tool, the processing head needs to move up and down during the processing process, and the optical fiber will be pulled during the displacement process, so that the optical fiber is stretched or shortened up and down. Since the PVC plastic tube is a rigid structure, mounting it with a PVC plastic tube will cause the optical fiber to be difficult to move therein, making it difficult for the optical fiber to move with the processing equipment, and easily causing the high-pressure tube and the optical fiber to be squeezed and accumulated. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a mounting method for optical fiber processing to ensure that the optical fiber is transmitted above the CNC machine tool and the optical fiber processing head, while solving the problem of optical fiber movement and the extrusion and accumulation caused during the movement.

[0027] Embodiment 1
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a fiber optic hanger, which is suspended on a ceiling of a workshop and located above a fiber optic processing equipment, and is used to hang optical fibers that feed the fiber optic processing equipment. The fiber optic hanger includes: a first support system 1 and a second support system 2; the first support system 1 and the second support system 2 are spaced apart along a first direction.
[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the first support system 1 includes: a support frame 11 and a first optical fiber receiving plate 12, the support frame 11 is respectively connected to the first optical fiber receiving plate 12 and the workshop ceiling, the first optical fiber receiving plate 12 has an arc, and the optical fiber is placed on the first optical fiber receiving plate 12, which can be suitable for the bending radius required for optical fiber transmission, that is, the first support system 1 provides rigid support for the optical fiber, playing a supporting and guiding role.
[0030] like Figure 2As shown, in an optional embodiment, first ears 121 are provided on both sides of the first optical fiber receiving plate 12, and the first threaded rod 122 passes through the two first ears 121 to connect the support frame 11. Further, the first threaded rod 122 is threadedly connected to the support frame 11.
[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the first support system 1 further includes: a first base 13, and the support frame 11 is connected to the workshop ceiling through the first base 13. Preferably, the support frame 11 can be arranged in a plurality of groups at intervals, and respectively connected to the first optical fiber receiving plate 12, and correspondingly, a plurality of first bases 13 are also arranged, and each first base 13 connects a group of support frames 11 to the workshop ceiling.
[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, in the present embodiment, the second support system 2 comprises: an elastic support frame 21 and a second optical fiber receiving plate 22; the elastic support frame 21 has a plurality of groups, and the plurality of groups of elastic support frames 21 are respectively connected to the second optical fiber receiving plate 22; the elastic support frame 21 can produce deformation, and the two ends of each group of elastic support frames 21 are respectively connected to the second optical fiber receiving plate 22 and the workshop top plate; the second optical fiber receiving plate 22 has an arc, and the optical fiber is placed on the second optical fiber receiving plate 22, which can be suitable for the bending radius required for optical fiber transmission, that is, the second support system 2 provides elastic support for the optical fiber, which not only plays a supporting and guiding role, but also can ensure that the optical fiber moves with the movement of the laser head in the spatial range, and can also ensure that the optical fiber can be subjected to a certain degree of tension when moving with the laser head.
[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, in an optional embodiment, each set of elastic support frames 21 includes: a spring 211, and hooks are arranged at both ends of the spring 211. A plurality of second hanging ears 221 are arranged on the second optical fiber receiving plate 22, and each second hanging ear 221 corresponds to a hook connected to a spring 211.
[0034] It is worth noting that several groups of elastic support frames 21 are used, exemplarily, at least two groups, and a spring system is formed by two groups of elastic support frames 21. The two groups of spring systems work together to ensure the deformation capacity, that is, the length of the optical fiber that can be accommodated is extended by deformation, the bending radius is changed, and the mobility of the optical fiber is improved; it also ensures the supporting capacity so as not to cause excessive deformation, causing the optical fiber to escape from the supporting range of the second optical fiber receiving plate 22.
[0035] like Figure 4As shown, in an optional embodiment, the second support system 2 further includes: a plurality of second bases 23, each of which is provided with a third hanging ear 231, and the third hanging ear 231 is connected to at least one hook of the spring 211.

In addition, by reasonably setting the length of the steel wire rope 212, it can also prevent the spring 211 from exceeding its maximum stretching length.
[0037] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:
[0038] The first optical fiber receiving plate 12 and the second optical fiber receiving plate 22 are respectively suspended on the workshop ceiling by the first base 13, the support frame 11, the elastic support frame 21 and the second base 23, and are independently arranged above the optical fiber processing equipment, which is suitable for workshops with a floor height of less than 5 meters or workshops with reserved special equipment mounting frames. According to actual production needs, the first support system 1 and the second support system 2 can be installed on the workshop ceiling or other special mounting frames by hinges, welding, threaded connections or other feasible solutions. During installation, it is necessary to ensure that there is a certain distance between the first support system 1 and the second support system 2, and both are arranged along the first direction and remain in the same straight line. Among them, the first optical fiber receiving plate 12 and the second optical fiber receiving plate 22 need to receive the same optical fiber, so they also need to be kept in the same straight line, that is, the curvature of the first optical fiber receiving plate 12 and the second optical fiber receiving plate 22 should have a quasi-circular characteristic. Therefore, the distance between the first support system 1 and the second support system 2, the length of the support frame 11 and the elastic support frame 21, the stretching length of the elastic support frame 21, and the length and curvature of the first optical fiber receiving plate 12 and the second optical fiber receiving plate 22 are adjusted accordingly, so that the optical fiber can move flexibly on the first optical fiber receiving plate 12 and the second optical fiber receiving plate 22 without causing extrusion and accumulation.
[0039] After starting the optical fiber processing equipment, driven by the optical fiber processing head mounted on the CNC machine tool, the optical fiber moves on the first optical fiber receiving plate 12 and the second optical fiber receiving plate 22 to achieve feeding, and the elastic support frame 21 performs adaptive adjustment through elastic deformation, which improves the mobility of the optical fiber and solves the problem of optical fiber movement and extrusion and accumulation caused during the movement.
[0040] The optical fiber hanger of the utility model includes two sets of support systems, one of which is a rigid support and the other uses an elastic support frame, which can be deformed as the optical fiber moves. While ensuring the support function, the mobility of the optical fiber is also guaranteed by the deformation. The optical fiber receiving plates in the two sets of support systems are both designed with an arc, which can be suitable for the bending radius required by optical fiber transmission, further improving the mobility of the optical fiber and solving the problem of optical fiber movement and extrusion and accumulation caused during the movement.
[0041] It should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply that there is any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the term "include", "comprise" or any other variant is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that the article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements that are not explicitly listed. In the absence of more restrictions, the elements defined by the sentence "including one..." do not exclude the existence of other identical elements in the article or device including the elements. "Connect" or "connected" and similar words are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but can include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect.
