Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of optical fiber processing, and more specifically to a full-automatic laser optical fiber stripping machine. Background Art

[0002] When optical fibers are used to produce optical passive components, the coating needs to be removed. Currently, this coating removal operation mainly relies on manual work, in which the cut optical fiber ends need to be stripped mechanically or with the assistance of heating using wire strippers. However, due to the small diameter of the optical fiber, when manually processing optical fibers of different outer diameters, the stripping distance of the fiber stripping pliers needs to be manually adjusted. Since the outer diameter accuracy is at the micron level, it is difficult for manual work to effectively control the stripping quality even with the help of various tools. In addition, mechanical stripping can easily damage the optical fiber itself, especially when fine-size processing is required. Micron-level fixed-length stripping cannot be achieved, and the efficiency is low. Fatigue is easily generated during long-term processing operations.

[0003] To this end, the present application proposes a fully automatic laser optical fiber stripping machine to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0014] Furthermore, a guide block is connected to the guide shaft, and the lead screw passes through the guide block when it rotates; a gap is left between the bottom of the connecting seat and the top of the slide.

[0015] Through the above technical solution, the addition of the guide block enhances the stability of the guide shaft and reduces the vibration of the lead screw during rotation, thereby improving the fiber stripping accuracy.

[0019] Through the above technical solution, the design of the lead screw 2 and the motor 2 inside the lifting slide realizes the precise up and down movement of the sliding member, and the electrical control connection of the displacement sensor further improves the accuracy of the fiber stripping position.

[0020] Furthermore, the sliding member is threadedly connected to the lead screw and moves up and down along the housing; a sliding rod is also provided in the housing, and pulleys that fit the sliding rod are symmetrically provided on the sliding member, and the number of the pulleys is at least four.

[0047] The lifting slide 1 and the displacement device work together to accurately control the position of the laser optical path module 16 according to the size of the optical fiber and the fiber stripping requirements; after the fiber stripping is completed, the optical fiber clamp 15 releases the optical fiber, and the entire fiber stripping process is automatically completed by the electronic control system, which improves production efficiency and fiber stripping quality.

[0050] The displacement sensor 18 can realize micron-level focal length positioning of the laser beam of the laser optical path module 16. At the same time, through the control of the multi-intersection field mirror and the galvanometer, precise positioning on the curved surface can be achieved, and the coating removal of optical fibers with different outer diameters and the removal of micron-level fixed-length coatings can be realized.

[0051] With the specially designed optical fiber clamp 15 for positioning, multiple optical fibers can be removed simultaneously and the stripping quality can be kept consistent.
