[0031] As Figures 1-5 shown in the figure, the principle of the automatic light alignment and debugging coupling device provided in this embodiment is as follows: When the device is in use, the detachable first clamping block 6 and the detachable second clamping block 9 adapted to the fiber to be coupled and welded should be selected first, and then the detachable first clamping block 6 is clamped on the lower base 5 and fixed on the lower base 5 by bolts.

[0032] After the detachable first clamping block 6 and the detachable second clamping block 9 are installed, the automatic feeder is installed on one side of the replaceable automatic coupling clamping structure 2 far from the coupling welder 10. Then, the automatic feeder pushes the optical fiber into the first clamping groove 14 on the upper surface of the detachable first clamping block 6 in the replaceable automatic coupling clamping structure 2. However, it is necessary to ensure that the end face of the optical fiber required for coupling welding extends a certain distance from the replaceable automatic coupling clamping structure 2. The second electric telescopic rod 7 quickly contracts, causing the detachable first clamping block 6 and the detachable second clamping block 9 to quickly fit together and precisely clamp the optical fiber. Subsequently, the first electric telescopic rod 4 starts to extend, causing the replaceable automatic coupling clamping structures 2 at both ends of the upper surface of the support base plate 1 to quickly approach until the end faces of the two optical fibers required for coupling welding are precisely butted together. At this time, the supplementary light 27 will illuminate the butt joint of the two optical fibers, and then the sensing camera 26 will transmit the image of the coupling butt joint of the two optical fibers to the display screen 32. At this time, the operator can zoom in to observe whether the end faces of the two optical fibers required for coupling welding are precisely butted, and then precisely weld the precise butt joint of the two optical fibers through the control button 33;

[0033] After the coupling welding of the precise butt joint of the two optical fibers is completed, the second electric telescopic rod 7 quickly extends, and then the operator can take out the coupled and welded optical fiber. At this time, the first electric telescopic rod 4 contracts back to the initial position and waits for the next operation.
