Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of optical fiber threading, and particularly relates to an automatic positioning optical fiber threading mechanism. Background Art

[0002] In today's era of rapid technological development, optical fiber has been widely used. With the great progress in information optical fiber transmission, optical fiber sensing and optical fiber connectors, the market demand for optical fiber is increasing, and the production volume is also increasing. In processing and production, in order to facilitate the subsequent application of optical fiber, before the optical fiber leaves the factory, it is often necessary to pre-insert connectors, tail sleeves and other accessories at its end to facilitate subsequent connection products, increase strength and extend the service life of the optical fiber.

[0003] In the prior art, this method of pre-threading the connector is mostly done manually. Manually threading the optical fiber into the connector will result in low production efficiency, high production costs, and prone to mistakes such as mixed and wrong lines or damage such as fiber cracking and fiber breakage. Moreover, when there are large quantities of products, this manual threading method is particularly inefficient and is not conducive to the production development of the enterprise.
