[0032] The existing optical fiber dispensing operation is mainly completed manually. First, the worker puts the optical fiber end cap into the glass tube, observes the dispensing position between the optical fiber end cap and the glass tube, and then uses the dispensing device to dispense glue to the optical fiber end cap in the glass tube. Most of the entire dispensing operation process is completed manually, with low production efficiency and high production costs. In addition, workers are prone to fatigue due to long-term work, and fatigue work easily leads to inadequate dispensing of glue, resulting in defective products, resulting in a high product defect rate.

[0033] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model proposes an optical fiber packaging fixture, which aims to provide an optical fiber packaging fixture that improves productivity and reduces manual operations. Figure 1 to Figure 2 The present invention is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of an optical fiber packaging fixture provided by the present invention.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 to Figure 2 The utility model proposes an optical fiber packaging fixture 1000, comprising: a base 1 and a supporting plate 2; the supporting plate 2 is arranged on the base 1; at least two convex ribs 21 are convexly provided on the end surface of the supporting plate 2 facing away from the base 1, and a receiving groove 211 is formed between two adjacent convex ribs 21, and the receiving groove 211 is used to receive the glass tube and the optical fiber.

[0035] In the technical solution of the utility model, the supporting plate 2 is arranged on the base 1, and a plurality of ribs 21 are arranged on the supporting plate 2, so that the accommodating grooves 21 are formed between the plurality of ribs 21 to accommodate the plurality of glass tubes and the optical fiber corresponding to each glass tube, and then glue is dispensed, thereby improving the glue dispensing efficiency, while also reducing manual operations, making the optical fiber packaging process more automated.

[0036] Furthermore, two supporting plates 2 are provided, and the two supporting plates 2 are spaced apart along the length direction of the accommodating groove 211, and the lateral notches of the two accommodating grooves 211 are arranged corresponding to each other, and one of the two accommodating grooves 211 is used to accommodate the glass tube, and the other is used to accommodate the optical fiber; wherein the optical fiber end cap is inserted into one port of the glass tube and partially exits from the other port, and the end cap is partially clamped in the glass tube. It can be understood that in order to support the glass tube and the optical fiber respectively, the support plate 2 is provided with two support plates 2, and the two support plates 2 are spaced apart along the length direction of the accommodating groove 211, and the lateral notches of the two accommodating grooves 211 are arranged corresponding to each other, so that the optical fiber can be better inserted into the glass tube; wherein, one of the two accommodating grooves 211 is used to accommodate the glass tube, and the other is used to accommodate the optical fiber; it should also be understood that the optical fiber end cap and the optical fiber are inserted from one end of the glass tube and come out from the other end of the glass tube, and the end cap part is clamped at the port at the other end of the glass tube, that is, glue is dispensed here, so that the optical fiber is encapsulated in the glass tube.

[0037] Furthermore, the receiving groove 211 is a V-shaped groove. The receiving groove 211 is provided to accommodate the glass tube and the optical fiber. The receiving groove 211 can be a circular groove or a square groove. However, since the circular groove or the square groove has too much contact area with the side wall of the glass tube or the optical fiber, and is not conducive to the centering of the glass tube and the optical fiber, the receiving groove 211 is provided in the form of the V-shaped groove. Under the action of gravity, the glass tube or the optical fiber can be tightly attached to the side wall of the V-shaped groove, and has better centering, so that the optical fiber end cap can be more easily moved to the position of the glass tube glue dispensing position.

[0038] In addition, a pressure plate 22 is provided on the first supporting plate 2; the pressure plate 22 is provided at the notch of the receiving groove 211 facing away from the substrate, and a clamping space is formed between the pressure plate 22 and the receiving groove 211. It can be understood that in order to ensure that the glass tube and the optical fiber can be firmly fixed to the optical fiber packaging fixture 1000, the pressure plate 22 is provided at the notch of the receiving groove 211, so that a clamping space is formed between the pressure plate 22 and the receiving groove 211. The glass tube and the optical fiber are accommodated in the clamping space and are restricted by the pressure plate 22, so that the optical fiber packaging fixture 1000 can reliably position the glass tube and the optical fiber.

[0039] Further, the pressing plate 22 and the supporting plate 2 are both made of magnetic materials, and the pressing plate 22 and the supporting plate 2 are arranged to attract each other. It can be understood that in order to make the clamping space formed by the pressing plate 22 and the receiving groove 211 reliable and not easily damaged, the pressing plate 22 can be installed on the supporting plate 2, such as by setting a connection method of bolts and screw holes, but such a connection method is not easy to disassemble and assemble. During the use of the optical fiber packaging fixture 1000, the glass tube and the optical fiber on the optical fiber packaging fixture 1000 will be removed from the optical fiber packaging fixture 1000 after the dispensing is completed, and then the glass tube and the optical fiber of the next batch will be replaced, and then the pressing plate 22 will be covered at the notch of the receiving groove 211. In order to achieve the purpose of easy disassembly and assembly, the supporting plate 2 and the pressing plate 22 can also be set as magnetic materials, and the pressing plate 22 and the supporting plate 2 are arranged to attract each other, so that the technical effect that the pressing plate 22 can be easily disassembled and assembled is achieved.

[0040] Furthermore, a positioning structure 3 is provided between the pressing plate 22 and the supporting plate 2, which is used to position the pressing plate 22 when it is covered in the receiving groove 211. It can be understood that the pressing plate 22 is covered at the notch of the receiving groove 211 of the supporting plate 2, but if the pressing plate 22 is not restricted in the horizontal direction, the pressing plate 22 will have a tendency to move in the horizontal direction relative to the supporting plate 2, which is not conducive to the positioning of the glass tube and the optical fiber on the optical fiber packaging fixture 1000. Therefore, a positioning structure 3 is provided between the pressing plate 22 and the supporting plate 2 to limit the tendency of the pressing plate 22 to move in the horizontal direction relative to the supporting plate 2.

[0041] Further, the positioning structure 3 includes a positioning protrusion 31 and a positioning hole 32, the positioning protrusion 31 is positioned and extended into the positioning hole 32, and one of the positioning protrusion 31 and the positioning hole 32 is provided on the support plate 2, and the other is provided on the pressure plate 22. It can be understood that in order to limit the movement tendency of the pressure plate 22 relative to the support plate 2 in the horizontal direction, a positioning structure 3 is provided between the pressure plate 22 and the support plate 2, and the positioning structure 3 includes a positioning protrusion 31 and a positioning hole 32, and the positioning protrusion 31 is extended into the positioning hole 32, so as to realize the positioning of the pressure plate 22 relative to the support plate 2 in the horizontal direction. In other embodiments, the pressure plate 22 can also be rotatably installed on one side of the receiving groove 211 on the support plate 2 along the extension direction of the receiving groove 211, and the positioning effect of the pressure plate 22 relative to the support plate 2 is realized by the rotational installation.

[0042] Furthermore, the positioning protrusion 31 and the positioning hole 32 form a positioning group, and the positioning group is provided with multiple groups, and the multiple positioning groups are arranged at intervals. It can be understood that the positioning protrusion 31 and the positioning hole 32 are set as a positioning group, and the role of the positioning group is to use the positioning protrusion 31 to extend into the positioning hole 32 to achieve the positioning of the pressure plate 22 relative to the support plate 2 in the horizontal direction; the positioning group is provided with at least one group to achieve the positioning effect, but setting one group is not reliable enough for the positioning structure 3; for a better positioning effect, the positioning group can be provided with multiple groups, and they can be arranged at intervals between the pressure plate 22 and the support plate 2, so as to increase the positioning reliability between the pressure plate 22 and the support plate 2.

[0043] In addition, the accommodating groove 211 is used to accommodate the glass tube, and the accommodating groove 211 has an end cap end corresponding to the optical fiber end cap; the optical fiber packaging fixture 1000 also includes a bracket 4; the bracket 4 extends along the width direction of the accommodating groove 211, is protruded on the base 1, and is located on one side of the end cap end of the supporting plate 2; the bracket 4 is provided with a groove 41 corresponding to the accommodating groove 211, for supporting the optical fiber end cap. It can be understood that part of the end cap of the optical fiber is stuck in the glass tube, and the other part is exposed from the glass tube. When dispensing glue, the glue gun will generate downward pressure on the end cap. Before the end cap is cured by dispensing glue, the end cap will be displaced relative to the optical fiber. After the dispensing glue is cured, the end cap is skewed relative to the optical fiber, which is not an ideal product effect. Therefore, the optical fiber packaging fixture 1000 also includes the bracket 4, which extends along the width direction of the accommodating groove 211, is protruding on the base 1, and is located on one side of the end cap end of the supporting plate 2, and the bracket 4 is provided with the groove 41 corresponding to the side notch of the accommodating groove 211, so as to support the part of the optical fiber end cap exposed from the glass tube, so that during the dispensing glue process, the end cap will not be skewed under the pressure of the glue gun, thereby ensuring the yield of the processed product.

[0044] In addition, the base 1 is formed with a mounting surface 11 and two clamping surfaces 12 arranged adjacent to the mounting surface 11; the support plate 2 is arranged on the mounting surface 11; and the two clamping surfaces 12 are concavely provided with clamping grooves 121 for clamping and placing the optical fiber packaging fixture 1000. It can be understood that in order to improve the automation level of optical fiber packaging, the optical fiber packaging fixture 1000 is specially provided with the clamping grooves 121, and the clamping grooves 121 are arranged on the clamping surfaces 12 on both sides of the support plate 2, so that the circulation of the optical fiber packaging fixture 1000 is affected by external mechanical operation during the production process, thereby reducing manual operation and improving the automation level of the optical fiber packaging.

[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, and does not limit the patent scope of the utility model. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the utility model specification and drawings under the invention concept of the utility model, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the utility model.
