Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of optical fiber winding, in particular to a main shaft structure for a fiber winding machine. Background Art

[0002] An optical fiber gyroscope is an optoelectromechanical integrated precision inertial navigation instrument, which is widely used in guided weapons such as tactical missiles. As the core guidance component of various types of missiles, the demand for optical fiber gyroscopes is large and the navigation accuracy requirements are high, which requires the optical fiber gyroscope to have an efficient and reliable optical path assembly. The optical path assembly process is mainly to splice the pigtails of the used optoelectronic components in sequence. In order to leave enough pigtail margin for the pigtail splicing operation and the subsequent instrument repair operation, the pigtails at each end of the optoelectronic device generally have a length of 400 - 1000 mm. Therefore, after the pigtails are spliced, a large pigtail loop with a circumference of about 800 - 2000 mm will be formed, and the coiling worker manually coils the large pigtail loop into multiple turns of pigtail loops and puts them into the installation cavity for fixing and encapsulation.

[0003] The existing pigtail coiling of the optical path component completely depends on manual operation by workers, which takes 4h - 7h and has low production efficiency. At the same time, the operation habits of workers are different, and there is a lack of specific coiling process parameter guidance. The pigtail loops coiled manually often have problems such as large axial torsional stress, inconsistent coiling diameter, loose coiling, and non - adhering to the wall at the edge, resulting in uneven stress distribution of the pigtail loop, reducing the transmission power and service life of the pigtail, which also becomes one of the reasons why the accuracy of optical fiber gyroscopes in China is generally lower than that of foreign countries. Therefore, it is of great significance to design a device for coiling the pigtail of an optical fiber gyroscope. Summary of the Utility Model
