[0027] Example 1

[0028] A fiber optic connector tensile test device, see Figure 1-Figure 5 , including a bottom plate 1, a base 2, a clamping plate 3, a screw 4 and a connector 5. The bottom plate 1 is made of iron, which has a large mass and strong corrosion resistance, and prolongs the service life of the bottom plate 1. A base 2 is provided on the left side of the bottom plate 1 by bolt connection, and another base 2 is slidably provided on the right side of the bottom plate 1. The left and right sides of the base 2 are rotatably provided with screws 4. The left and right sides of the base 2 are slidably connected with clamping plates 3, and the clamping plates 3 are threadedly connected with the screws 4. The left and right sides of the base 2 are provided with sliding grooves, and the screws 4 are rotated to make the clamping plates 3 slide in the sliding grooves. The clamping plate 3 can be moved to clamp connectors 5 of different types. The two clamping plates 3 are slidably provided with connectors 5 together, and also include a nut 6. The connector 5 on the right side is connected with the nut 6, and the connector 5 on the left side is provided with a thread. The nut 6 is rotated to fix the two connectors 5 together. It also includes a handwheel 10. The handwheel 10 is fixedly connected to the screw rod 4. The handwheel 10 increases the force application area between the hand and the screw rod 4, thereby facilitating the rotation of the screw rod 4. It also includes two mounting holes 12 for mounting the base plate 1 on the base plate 1.

[0029] When it is necessary to use this equipment, the staff moves the base plate 1 to the appropriate position, inserts the bolt into the mounting hole 12, and uses the tool to install the base plate 1. Then the staff holds the hand wheel 10 and turns the screw 4 to move the clamps 3 to the side away from each other, so that the connector 5 is disengaged, and then one end of the optical fiber is passed through the connector 5 on the left and enters the connector 5 on the right. After the insertion is completed, the connector 5 is put back between the two clamps 3, and the screw 4 is reversed to move it to the side close to each other, so as to clamp the connector 5. Then, the staff turns the nut 6 to fix the left and right connectors 5 together, so as to avoid the two connectors 5 being disengaged during the tensile test, affecting the test speed and effect, and then moves the base 2 on the right to the right to test the optical fiber connector 5. The staff observes the condition of the optical fiber connector and records the data.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] Based on Example 1, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , also includes a fixing frame 7, an electric push rod 8 and a connecting seat 9. The fixing frame 7 is provided on the right side of the base plate 1 by bolt connection. The electric push rod 8 is provided on the fixing frame 7 by bolt connection. The connecting seat 9 is provided on the right side of the base 2 by bolt connection, and the connecting seat 9 is connected to the telescopic rod of the electric push rod 8 to control the telescopic movement of the electric push rod 8 to drive the right side base 2 to move left and right. It also includes a pull rod 11. The pull rods 11 are provided on the front and back sides of the base plate 1 by bolt connection. Holding the pull rod 11 makes it easier to move the base plate 1. A rubber sleeve is provided on the pull rod 11 to reduce the pressure between the hand and the pull rod 11 and increase the comfort of the hand.

[0032] After fixing the two connectors 5 together, the staff turns on the electric push rod 8 and controls the telescopic rod of the electric push rod 8 to contract and drive the connecting seat 9 to move to the right, so that the base 2 on the right drives the connector 5 on the right to move to the right, thereby replacing the workers' manual movement of the base 2 to avoid uneven force and improve the test efficiency. After the test is completed, the telescopic rod of the electric push rod 8 is controlled to extend, so that the connecting seat 9 moves to the left and drives the base 2 on the right to reset. When the equipment is not in use, the staff holds the pull rod 11 and moves the base plate 1 to the appropriate position.
