[0002] Fiber optic gyroscope is a new type of all-solid-state inertial instrument with the advantages of small size, light weight, wide accuracy range, and no moving parts. Fiber optic gyroscope has become a strong competitor to electromechanical gyroscope and laser gyroscope, and it has made important contributions in aerospace, aviation, navigation and other fields. The fiber optic gyroscope ring is the most important sensitive component in the fiber optic gyroscope. The specifications of the fiber optic ring are different in different types of fiber optic gyroscopes. The general method of preparing the fiber optic ring is to wind the optical fiber on a metal skeleton in a specific way and fix the optical fiber with a specific glue (to enhance the vibration resistance of the ring). When the temperature changes, the metal skeleton will cause thermal expansion of the fiber optic ring, resulting in stress changes, which will lead to non-reciprocal phase error of the ring, which is an important factor affecting the temperature sensitivity of the fiber optic gyroscope.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further described below with reference to specific illustrations.

[0026] See also Figure 1 , which is a schematic structural diagram of a detachable ring frame for an optical fiber coil provided by the utility model.

[0027] Embodiment 1:

[0028] According to the drawings, it can be known that the detachable ring frame for the optical fiber coil provided by the utility model includes three components: a first flange 100, a second flange 200, and a fixed block 300.

[0029] The first flange 100 and the second flange 200 are provided with a through hole 110 and an annular groove 120 for accommodating the fixed block 300 in the middle. The through hole 110 is circular, and the annular groove 120 is distributed on the outer side thereof with the through hole 110 as the center.

[0030] The fixed block 300 includes a plurality of large fixed blocks 310 and a plurality of small fixed blocks 320, both ends of which are respectively inserted into the annular grooves 120 of the first flange 100 and the second flange 200, and a gap is provided between the plurality of large fixed blocks 310 and the plurality of small fixed blocks 320 and they mutually form a circular ring structure;

[0031] The first flange 100, the second flange 200, a plurality of large fixed blocks 310 and a plurality of small fixed blocks 320 are connected by a threaded structure to form a detachable ring frame.

[0032] Specifically, the thread structure may be that screw holes 330 are symmetrically provided at the upper and lower ends of the large fixed block 310 and the small fixed block 320;

[0033] The second screw holes 130 corresponding to the screw holes 330 are provided on the first flange 100 and the second flange 200 , and the second screw holes 130 are threadedly fixed to the screw holes 330 of the large fixed blocks 310 and the small fixed blocks 320 by a plurality of fasteners 400 .

[0034] Here, the fastener 400 in this example is preferably a screw.

[0035] The number of the large fixed blocks 310 and the small fixed blocks 210 can be increased as needed. If the number is increased too much, disassembly is convenient, but installation becomes complicated. Therefore, in this embodiment, the large fixed blocks 310 are preferably two, and the small fixed block 210 is preferably one;

[0036] The large fixed block 310 and the small fixed block 320 are arc-shaped, and the curvature of the small fixed block 320 is smaller than that of the large fixed block 310. In this solution, the curvature of the small fixed block 320 is preferably 1 / 4-3 / 4 of the curvature of the large fixed block 310, which can provide better disassembly of the frame and more convenient installation.

[0037] A plurality of large arc-shaped fixed blocks 310 and a plurality of small arc-shaped fixed blocks 320 are spliced ​​to form a circular ring structure, and the two ends are respectively inserted in the annular grooves 120 of the two flanges 100, and are detachably connected to the first flange 100 and the second flange 200 through a plurality of fasteners 400. A ring groove 500 is formed between the outer ring of the fixed block 300 and the first flange 100 and the second flange 200, i.e. a detachable skeleton. The detachable skeleton is assembled on a ring winding machine through a special clamp, and the optical fiber ring winding operation is performed in the ring groove 500.

[0038] The screw holes 330 at both ends of the large fixed block 310 and the small fixed block 320 in this solution are symmetrical structures, so after being connected to the second screw holes 130 of the flange 100 respectively, the structural reliability is higher.

[0039] In actual application, one end of a plurality of large fixed blocks 310 and a plurality of small fixed blocks 220 are sequentially inserted into the annular groove 120 of the first flange 100, a gap is provided between the plurality of large fixed blocks 310 and the plurality of small fixed blocks 220 and they are spliced ​​to form a ring, and then the annular groove 120 of the second flange 200 is inserted into the other end of the plurality of large fixed blocks 310 and the plurality of small fixed blocks 220, and finally the flange is threadedly connected with the plurality of large fixed blocks 310 and the plurality of small fixed blocks 220 through the fastener 400, and the skeleton assembly is completed. After the skeleton assembly is completed, the skeleton is placed on the winding shaft fixture of the winding machine for winding. After the winding is completed, the ring is cured. After the curing of the optical fiber coil is completed, The fasteners 400 at both ends of the fixed block 300 are disassembled, and then the first flange 100 and the second flange 200 are removed. At this time, the two ends of the fixed block 300 are separated from the annular groove 120 of the flange. Since there is a gap between the several small fixed blocks 320 and the several large fixed blocks 310, and the several small fixed blocks 320 and the several large fixed blocks 310 have lost the connection support of the flange, the several small fixed blocks 320 and the several large fixed blocks 310 move toward the gap between each other, that is, the outer ring diameter of the spliced ​​fixed block 300 is reduced, and the optical fiber coil loses the support of the several small fixed blocks 320 and the several large fixed blocks 310. At this time, the optical fiber coil can fall naturally, and the finished product of the boneless optical fiber coil can be obtained. In the whole process, the optical fiber coil is almost not affected by the large additional force, thereby reducing the output risk of the optical fiber coil.

[0040] In order to further improve the structural stability and reliability of the connection between the first flange 100, the second flange 200 and the fixed block 300;

[0041] like Figure 3 , Figure 4Arc-shaped protrusions 340 are provided at the top and bottom of the plurality of large fixed blocks 310 and the plurality of small fixed blocks 320, and a cylindrical hole section 150 corresponding to the arc-shaped protrusion 340 is provided at the bottom of the annular groove 120 on the first flange 100 and the second flange 200. An outer step surface 350 is formed between the arc-shaped protrusion 340 and the large fixed blocks 310 and the small fixed blocks 320, and an inner step surface 160 is formed between the cylindrical hole section 150 and the annular groove 120. By inserting the two ends of the large fixed block 310 and the small fixed block 320 into the annular groove 120 of the first flange 100 and the second flange 200, the arc-shaped protrusion 340 can be placed in the arc hole section 150 as a whole, and the inner step surface 160 abuts against the outer step surface 350.

[0042] The arc-shaped protrusion 340 cooperates with the fixed block 300 to form a stepped structure, and the cylindrical hole section 150 cooperates with the annular groove 120 to form a stepped structure. During actual assembly, the inner step surface 160 and the outer step surface 350 can be pressed against each other through the threaded connection of the fastener 400. The stability of the structure can be greatly improved through the multi-level mutual abutment structure, so that the fixed block 300 can be stably and reliably placed in the annular groove 120.

[0043] Embodiment 2:

[0044] In order to improve the convenience of disassembling the entire skeleton, this embodiment makes changes to the thread structure on the basis of Embodiment 1 to improve the convenience of operating the skeleton. The remaining structures are the same and will not be described in detail here.

[0045] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 A column 170 is provided at one end of the first flange 100 with the through hole 110 as the center, and a second through hole 180 is penetrated through the column 170, and the second through hole 180 is communicated with the through hole 110. An external thread surface 190 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the column 170, and an internal thread surface 210 matching the external thread surface 190 is provided on the inner wall of the through hole 110 on the second flange 220;

[0046] like Figure 7 By screwing the inner thread surface 210 of the second flange 220 with the outer thread surface 190 of the column 170 of the first flange 100 , both ends of the plurality of large fixed blocks 310 and the plurality of small fixed blocks 320 can be respectively pressed against the annular groove 120 .

[0047] In practical application, first, one end of a plurality of large fixed blocks 310 and a plurality of small fixed blocks 320 is placed in the annular groove 120 of the first flange 100, and then the internal thread surface 210 of the second flange 220 is aligned with the external thread surface 190 of the cylinder 170 on the first flange 100, and the external thread surface 190 is engaged with the internal thread surface 210 by rotation, so that the other ends of the large fixed blocks 310 and the small fixed blocks 320 are extended into the annular groove 120 of the second flange 220, and the rotation is continued, so that the first flange 100 and the second flange 220 press the large fixed blocks 310 and the small fixed blocks 320 between them.

[0048] The above-mentioned threaded structure is simple to install and easy to operate. The skeleton can be installed by screwing the external thread surface 190 and the internal thread surface 210 together. When disassembly is required, the first flange 100 and the second flange 200 can be disassembled by rotating in the opposite direction, and then the first flange 100 and the second flange 200 are removed. At this time, the optical fiber coil can fall naturally, and the finished product of the debonded optical fiber coil can be obtained, which is consistent with the above-mentioned principle process and will not be repeated here.

[0049] Embodiment 3:

[0050] In this embodiment, based on the second embodiment, the annular groove 210 on the first flange 100 is changed to position the plurality of large fixed blocks 310 and the plurality of small fixed blocks 320 to ensure that the gaps between the plurality of large fixed blocks 310 and the plurality of small fixed blocks 320 are fixed during installation. The rest of the structure is the same and will not be described in detail here.

[0051] like Figure 8 The annular groove 120 on the first flange 100 is designed to be segmented, and the annular groove 120 is composed of a plurality of large arc grooves 121 corresponding to the large fixed block 310, and a plurality of small arc grooves 122 corresponding to the small fixed block 320. Gaps are provided between the plurality of large arc grooves 121 and the plurality of small arc grooves 122, and they mutually form a circular ring structure corresponding to the annular groove 120 on the second flange 220;

[0052] Through the above-mentioned large arc groove 121, small arc groove 122 and a plurality of large fixed blocks 310 and a plurality of small fixed blocks 320, in actual application, firstly, one end of a plurality of large fixed blocks 310 and a plurality of small fixed blocks 320 is inserted into the large arc groove 121 and the small arc groove 122, and the large fixed blocks 310 and a plurality of small fixed blocks 320 are immovable in the arc groove, and the large arc groove 121 and the small arc groove 122 play a positioning role for the large fixed blocks 310 and the small fixed blocks 320, so as to avoid the large fixed blocks 310 and the small fixed blocks 320 from moving during installation, resulting in uneven gaps between the fixed blocks, and then the second flange 200 is screwed to the first flange 100, and the other ends of the large fixed blocks 310 and the small fixed blocks 320 are inserted into the annular groove 120 of the second flange 200, so that the structure can fix the gaps between the plurality of large fixed blocks 310 and the small fixed blocks 320.

[0053] The above shows and describes the basic principle, main features and advantages of the utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principle of the utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, the utility model may have various changes and improvements, which fall within the scope of the utility model to be protected.
