[0022] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0023] Embodiment 1:

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , the present invention provides a high-precision optical fiber cutter, including a cutting mechanism 1 and a material receiving mechanism 2;

[0025] The cutting mechanism 1 includes a base 101. The top end of the base 101 is connected to a cover plate 102 through a hinge. A chute 103 is opened on one side of the top end of the base 101. An L-shaped support plate 104 is slidably connected to the bottom of the chute 103. An installation seat 105 is slidably connected to the top end of the L-shaped support plate 104. A cutter 106 is fixedly provided inside the installation seat 105. A pulling plate 107 is fixedly connected to one side of the installation seat 105. A through groove 108 is opened on one side of the front surface of the base 101. The through groove 108 communicates with the chute 103. The pulling plate 107 passes through the through groove 108;

[0026] A limiting groove 109 is opened on the inner wall of the bottom end of the L-shaped support plate 104. A sliding seat 110 is slidably connected to the inside of the limiting groove 109. The top end of the sliding seat 110 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the installation seat 105. A limiting rod 111 is fixedly connected to the inside of the limiting groove 109. The outer wall of the limiting rod 111 is slidably connected to the middle of the sliding seat 110. The limiting rod 111 limits the moving position of the sliding seat 110, thereby limiting the moving position of the L-shaped support plate 104, enabling the installation seat 105 and the cutter 106 to move linearly, thus ensuring the flatness of the optical fiber cutting surface;

[0027] A spring 112 is fixedly connected to the other side of the installation seat 105. A plurality of springs 112 are provided and are equidistantly arranged on the other side of the installation seat 105. One end of the spring 112 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the back surface of the L-shaped support plate 104. Under the action of the spring 112, the installation seat 105 and the cutter 106 are automatically reset;

[0028] A handle 113 is fixedly connected to one side of the pulling plate 107. The pulling plate 107 and the cutter 106 are conveniently pulled through the handle 113 for cutting;

[0029] At the bottom of one side of the base 101, an adjustment groove 114 is provided. The adjustment groove 114 communicates with the sliding groove 103. Inside the adjustment groove 114, an adjustment plate 115 is slidably connected. One side of the adjustment plate 115 is fixedly connected to the middle part of one side of the L-shaped support plate 104. Inside the bottom of one side of the base 101, a screw sleeve 116 is fixedly connected. The screw sleeve 116 penetrates through the bottom end of the adjustment groove 114. Inside the screw sleeve 116, a screw rod 117 is threadedly connected. The top end of the screw rod 117 is rotationally connected to the middle part of the bottom end of the adjustment plate 115 through a bearing. The bottom end of the screw rod 117 is fixedly connected to a turntable 118. By rotating the turntable 118, under the threaded cooperation of the screw rod 117 and the screw sleeve 116, the adjustment plate 115 and the L-shaped support plate 104 are driven to move up and down, so that the height of the cutting tool 106 can be adjusted, improving the cutting accuracy;

[0030] On both sides inside the adjustment groove 114, vertical rods 119 are fixedly connected. The outer wall of the vertical rod 119 is slidably connected to the inside of the adjustment plate 115. The vertical rod 119 limits the position where the adjustment plate 115 moves, enabling the adjustment plate 115 to move vertically, so that the cutting tool 106 moves linearly;

[0031] Specifically, first, the optical fiber is peeled and placed into the groove of the base 101. Then, the turntable 118 is rotated to make the screw rod 117 rotate. Under the threaded cooperation of the screw rod 117 and the screw sleeve 116, the adjustment plate 115 slides in the adjustment groove 114, driving the L-shaped support plate 104 to move vertically, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the height of the cutting tool 106 and improve the cutting accuracy. Then, the cover plate 102 is covered to clamp and fix the optical fiber. Then, the handle 113 is pulled to make the pull plate 107 drive the cutting tool 106 to move, stretching the spring 112 to cut the optical fiber. After cutting, the handle 113 is released, and under the reset action of the spring 112, the cutting tool 106 automatically resets for the next cutting.

[0032] Embodiment 2:

[0033] The material receiving mechanism 2 includes a material receiving box 201. The height of the material receiving box 201 is set at the top of one side of the base 101. At the bottom of one side of the material receiving box 201, a bearing plate 202 is fixedly connected. At the top end of the bearing plate 202, a blower 203 is fixedly provided. In the middle of one side of the material receiving box 201, an air extraction pipe 204 is fixedly connected. One end of the air extraction pipe 204 is fixedly connected to the air inlet of the blower 203. In the middle of the inner wall of one side of the material receiving box 201, a filter screen 205 is fixedly connected by bolts;

[0034] In the middle of the front side and the back side of one side of the material receiving box 201, fixed ears 206 are fixedly connected. The fixed ears 206 are fixedly connected to the top of one side of the base 101 through bolts. Unscrew the bolts to remove the fixed ears 206, so as to facilitate the removal of the material receiving box 201 and cleaning of the waste materials;

[0035] Specifically, first start the fan 203, and extract the cut waste through the extraction duct 204 into the collection box 201. The filter screen 205 intercepts the waste in the collection box 201 to collect the cut waste.

[0036] During use, first strip the optical fiber and place it in the groove of the base 101. Then rotate the turntable 118 to make the screw 117 rotate. Under the thread fit of the screw 117 and the nut sleeve 116, the adjustment plate 115 slides in the adjustment groove 114, driving the L-shaped support plate 104 to move vertically, so as to facilitate adjusting the height of the cutting tool 106 and improve the cutting accuracy. Then cover the cover plate 102 to clamp and fix the optical fiber. Then pull the handle 113 to make the pull plate 107 drive the cutting tool 106 to move, stretching the spring 112 to cut the optical fiber. After cutting, release the handle 113, and under the reset action of the spring 112, the cutting tool 106 automatically resets for the next cut.

[0037] At the same time, start the fan 203, and extract the cut waste through the extraction duct 204 into the collection box 201. The filter screen 205 intercepts the waste in the collection box 201 to collect the cut waste. After the collection box 201 is full, unscrew the bolt on the fixing ear 206, remove the collection box 201, and remove the waste in the collection box 201.

[0038] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
