DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0018] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present utility model, and are not used to limit the present utility model.

[0019] In the description of the present utility model, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "length", "width", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model. In addition, in the description of the present utility model, the meaning of "a plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0020] The following will further elaborate on this application Figures 1-3 in conjunction with the attached drawings.

[0021] An automatic sleeving and riveting device for SC fiber optic connectors includes a main body 1. The main body 1 includes a riveting mechanism and a fixing mechanism. The main body 1 further includes a loose part guiding and combining mechanism 17. The loose part guiding and combining mechanism 17 includes a ferrule clamping jaw 2 and a tube clamping jaw 3. The main body 1 is provided with a clamping jaw lifting cylinder 4, a ferrule clamping jaw 2 cylinder, a ferrule sleeving cylinder 6, a tube clamping jaw 3 cylinder, and a tube sleeving cylinder 8. The ferrule sleeving cylinder 6 and the tube sleeving cylinder 8 are arranged on the clamping jaw lifting cylinder 4. The ferrule clamping jaw 2 cylinder is arranged on the ferrule sleeving cylinder 6. The tube clamping jaw 3 cylinder is arranged on the tube sleeving cylinder 8. The ferrule clamping jaw 2 is arranged on the ferrule clamping jaw 2 cylinder. The tube clamping jaw 3 is arranged on the tube clamping jaw 3 cylinder.

[0022] Before riveting the optical fiber connector, the loose parts of the optical fiber connector need to be sleeved on the optical fiber. In this application, the main body 1 is provided with a ferrule guiding mechanism and a tube guiding mechanism. After the ferrule on the ferrule guiding mechanism and the tube on the tube guiding mechanism reach the designated riveting position, the ferrule and the tube are sleeved onto the optical fiber, and the optical fiber is fixed by a fixing component. Then, the clamping jaw lifting cylinder 4 first drives the ferrule sleeving cylinder 6 and the tube sleeving cylinder 8 to rise, causing the ferrule clamping jaw 2 cylinder and the tube clamping jaw 3 cylinder to rise. At this time, the ferrule clamping jaw 2 cylinder is activated to drive the ferrule clamping jaw 2 to clamp the ferrule, and the tube clamping jaw 3 cylinder is activated to drive the tube clamping jaw 3 to clamp the tube. Then, the ferrule sleeving cylinder 6 moves forward to the guiding and combining position, and the tube sleeving cylinder 8 moves backward to the guiding and combining position, thereby completing the guiding and combining of the optical fiber, ferrule, and tube, and resetting after the guiding and combining is completed. Finally, the riveting mechanism rivets the loose parts of the optical fiber connector.

[0023] In this way, by setting the loose part guiding and combining mechanism 17 to automatically guide and combine the ferrule and the tube, manual guiding and combining is avoided, which helps to improve production efficiency. At the same time, since the loose part guiding and combining mechanism 17 and the riveting mechanism are integrated, the sleeving and riveting are completed at the same station, which can reduce the error during cable transfer and reduce the probability of faults, and also leave enough space for the overall dimensions of the machine.

[0024] In one embodiment, the fixing mechanism includes a head-end cable fixing jaw 9 and a tail-end cable fixing jaw 10. The riveting mechanism is disposed between the head-end cable fixing jaw 9 and the tail-end cable fixing jaw 10. The body is provided with a plurality of fixing jaw cylinders 11, and the plurality of fixing jaw cylinders 11 respectively correspond to the head-end cable fixing jaw 9 and the tail-end cable fixing jaw 10 one by one. The head-end cable fixing jaw 9 and the tail-end cable fixing jaw 10 are disposed on the fixing jaw cylinders 11.

[0025] After the optical fiber cable reaches the designated position, the head-end cable fixing jaw 9 clamps and fixes the head of the optical fiber cable, and the tail-end cable fixing jaw 10 clamps and fixes the part behind the riveting section of the optical fiber cable, so as to ensure that the optical fiber cable in the riveting section is straightened and stably fixed at the position to be riveted, reducing the defective rate.

[0026] In one embodiment, since the optical fiber cable is relatively long, there are multiple tail-end cable fixing jaws 10 to improve the clamping stability.

[0027] In one embodiment, the riveting mechanism includes a riveting jaw 12 and a riveting cylinder 13. The riveting jaw 12 and the riveting cylinder 13 are both vertically arranged. The riveting jaw 12 is disposed on the riveting cylinder 13. The body is provided with a riveting seat 16, and the riveting jaw 12 corresponds to the position of the riveting seat 16.

[0028] During riveting, the riveting cylinder 13 is started, and drives the riveting jaw 12 to descend onto the riveting seat 16 and rivet the movable connector of the optical fiber cable, with simple operation.

[0029] In one embodiment, the body 1 is provided with a cable stripping jaw 14 and a jaw motor 15. The jaw motor 15 is provided with a mounting ring, and the cable stripping jaw 14 is disposed on the mounting ring. The position of the cable stripping jaw 14 corresponds to the position of the riveting seat 16.

[0030] Before the lining ring and the clamping sleeve are sleeved together, the jaw motor 15 controls the mounting ring to descend and drives the cable stripping jaw 14 to descend, so as to strip the optical fiber cable. By automatically stripping the cable with the cable stripping jaw 14, manual operation by staff is avoided, which helps to improve safety.

[0031] The above are all the preferred embodiments of this application. The protection scope of this application is not limited thereby. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of this application should be covered within the protection scope of this application.
