Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of optical cable processing, and in particular to an optical cable coloring device. Background Art

[0002] Optical cable is a communication cable assembly that uses one or more optical fibers placed in a sheath as the transmission medium to achieve optical signal transmission. The coloring of optical cables is to facilitate the identification and recognition of different optical cables during installation and maintenance. Optical cable systems usually contain multiple types of optical cables. Different colors can be used to distinguish different uses, different optical fiber types, different signal transmission methods, etc.

[0003] Coloring optical cables involves ensuring that the dye or coating can be evenly adhered to the surface of the optical cable without affecting the performance of the optical fiber. This requires that the coloring device must have precise control capabilities. However, the existing optical cable coloring devices are relatively complex in design and operation, and the coloring efficiency is relatively insufficient, which is not conducive to the rapid simultaneous coloring of a large number of optical cables.

[0006] Preferably, the driving mechanism includes a motor fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the device frame, and a driving shaft is fixedly mounted on the output end of the motor. The two sets of rotating shafts can be driven by the driving mechanism, so that the coloring rollers on the two sets of rotating shafts rotate, and the adapting grooves provided on the coloring rollers can make stable contact with the optical cable so as to adhere the paint on the coloring rollers to the optical cable.

[0007] Preferably, one end of the driving shaft away from the motor is fixedly connected to a driving gear, and the outer surface of the driving gear is meshedly connected to a toothed belt.

[0008] Preferably, a transmission gear is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating shaft, and the outer surface of the transmission gear is meshingly connected with the outer surface of the toothed belt.

[0009] Preferably, the liquid collecting mechanism includes a guide rod fixedly connected to the inner side of the device frame, the inner surface of the device frame is threadedly sleeved with a screw, and one end of the screw is provided with a knob. The pigment liquid leaked on the device frame can be scraped into the sponge ring in the wire hole through the liquid collecting mechanism, and is adsorbed by the sponge ring and further coated on the surface of the optical cable passing through the sponge ring.

[0010] Preferably, a shift plate is threadedly sleeved on the outer surface of the screw, and the inner surface of the shift plate is slidably connected to the outer surface of the guide rod. A scraper is provided at the bottom of the shift plate, and the outer surface of the screw is provided with threads of the same length and opposite directions from the middle to both ends.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. The optical cable coloring device aims to improve the coloring efficiency and speed, especially for the large-scale optical cable coloring needs, and adopts a parallel processing method, which is mainly achieved through multiple sets of rotating coloring rollers. During the rotation of each set of rollers, the optical cable can pass evenly and continuously, so that the pigment solution is coated on the surface of the optical cable located in the adaptation groove, achieving the effect of coloring multiple optical cables at the same time.

[0013] 2. The optical cable coloring device uses a spatula to shovel the overflowed pigment solution during the coloring process, so that it re-enters the guide hole and is absorbed by the sponge ring, which effectively reduces the waste of pigment. At the same time, precise control and uniform coating also reduce the waste of resources caused by pigment splashing. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0021] Through the above technical solution, during the process of coloring the optical cable 4, the device needs to pass the optical cable 4 through the sponge ring 3 of the wire hole 2, and the bottom end of the optical cable 4 is pulled by the traction equipment (i.e., the optical cable traction machine) (the optical cable traction machine is not shown in the figure here), and the symmetrical coloring rollers 6 on the two sets of rotating shafts 5 are matched with the matching grooves 7, which can just wrap a circle of the optical cable 4. Before coloring, the coloring rollers 6 need to be immersed in an appropriate amount of pigment solution, and finally, the driving mechanism is combined with the liquid collecting mechanism to quickly and simultaneously color multiple groups of optical cables 4.

[0022] Specifically, the driving mechanism includes a motor 8 fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the device frame 1 , and a driving shaft 9 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the motor 8 .

[0023] Through the above technical solution, the motor 8 can drive the driving shaft 9 to rotate after being turned on, and the driving shaft 9 will drive the driving gear 10 to rotate synchronously during the rotation process.

[0024] Specifically, one end of the driving shaft 9 away from the motor 8 is fixedly connected with a driving gear 10 , and the outer surface of the driving gear 10 is meshedly connected with a toothed belt 11 .

[0025] Through the above technical solution, during the rotation process, the driving gear 10 can be driven by the toothed belt 11, so that the two sets of transmission gears 12 rotate synchronously, thereby driving the corresponding rotating shaft 5 to rotate.

[0026] Specifically, a transmission gear 12 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 5 , and the outer surface of the transmission gear 12 is meshedly connected with the outer surface of the toothed belt 11 .

[0027] Through the above technical solution, the rotation of the driving shaft 9 can be converted into the rotation of the two sets of rotating shafts 5 through the driving gear 10, the toothed belt 11 and the transmission gear 12.

[0028] Specifically, the liquid collecting mechanism includes a guide rod 13 fixedly connected to the inner side of the device frame 1 , a screw rod 14 is threadedly sleeved on the inner surface of the device frame 1 , and a knob 15 is provided at one end of the screw rod 14 .

[0029] Through the above technical solution, turning the knob 15 can drive the screw 14 to rotate, so that the shift plate 16 can push and shovel the pigment solution through the scraper 17 during the movement.

[0030] Specifically, a shift plate 16 is threadedly sleeved on the outer surface of the screw rod 14 , and the inner surface of the shift plate 16 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the guide rod 13 , and a scraper 17 is provided at the bottom of the shift plate 16 .

[0031] Through the above technical solution, the outer surface of the screw rod 14 is provided with threads of the same length and opposite directions from the middle to both ends. This design is to allow the two sets of shift plates 16 to move closer or farther along the axial direction of the screw rod 14 under the action of the guide rod 13 in place.

[0032] Working principle: When the device is coloring the optical cable 4, the optical cable 4 is first passed through the sponge ring 3 of the wire hole 2. Before coloring, the coloring roller 6 needs to be immersed in an appropriate amount of pigment solution, and then the motor 8 is turned on to drive the driving gear 10 to rotate through the driving shaft 9. During the rotation of the driving gear 10, the toothed belt 11 can drive the two sets of transmission gears 12 to rotate synchronously, and finally drive the two sets of rotating shafts 5 to rotate. During this period, the coloring rollers 6 on the rotating shafts 5 will rotate synchronously, and the coloring rollers 6 symmetrically distributed on the two sets of rotating shafts 5 will apply the pigment solution to the surface of the optical cable 4 located in the adaptation groove 7 during the rotation process, so as to achieve the effect of coloring a large number of optical cables 4 at the same time. In this process, the bottom end of the optical cable 4 is passed through The optical cable is pulled by a traction machine, and considering that part of the paint solution may drip and remain on the device frame 1 during the coloring process, the knob 15 can be turned to drive the screw 14 to rotate. Under the guiding action of the guide rod 13, the two groups of shift plates 16 will approach each other, so that the two groups of scrapers 17 can push and shovel the dripping paint solution along the surface of the device frame 1. During the pushing and shoveling process, the paint solution gradually enters the wire hole 2 and is absorbed by the sponge ring 3. In the process of the optical cable 4 passing through the sponge ring 3, due to the flexible deformation ability of the sponge ring 3, the adsorbed paint solution can be further coated on the surface of the optical cable 4, and the optical cable 4 is colored for the second time, which improves the coloring effect while reducing the waste of paint.
