Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of optical fiber winding machines, and more specifically, to a reel mechanism of an optical fiber winding machine. Background Technique

[0002] An optical fiber is a fiber made of glass or plastic and can be used as an optical conduction tool. Most optical fibers must be coated with several layers of protective structures before use. The cable after coating is called an optical cable. The protective layer and insulating layer on the outer layer of the optical fiber can prevent the surrounding environment from damaging the optical fiber, such as water, fire, electric shock, etc. After the optical fiber is produced, a winding machine is needed to wind it.

[0003] After retrieval, the utility model patent with the publication number of CN219469261U discloses an optical cable winding machine, including a housing. A machine door is installed on the outer wall of the housing. The left side of the housing is fixedly connected to a motor through a bracket. The output end of the motor is installed with a gearbox. The outer wall of the gearbox is fixedly connected to the housing. A rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the right side of the gearbox. A wire arranging device is arranged on the left side of the outer wall of the rotating shaft; through the cooperation between the first gear, the second gear, the lead screw, the lead screw nut and the limiting ring, the rotation of the rotating shaft will drive the first gear to rotate. The first gear drives the lead screw to rotate through the second gear. The lead screw will make the lead screw nut move to the left. The lead screw nut drives the limiting ring to move. The limiting ring will drive the optical cable to move. Thus, as the optical cable is wound, the position will be gradually changed, and it will not always wind around one position of the rotating shaft, thereby avoiding the accumulation of the optical cable, making full use of both sides of the rotating shaft, and at the same time, the wound optical cable is more beautiful.

[0004] However, the above patent still has the following deficiencies: After the optical fiber is wound, it is not convenient to take the optical fiber off the rotating shaft, and the use is not convenient enough; and there will be tiny sundries attached to the outside of the optical fiber during the production process. If it is not cleaned, it will affect the quality of the optical fiber winding. For this reason, we propose a reel mechanism of an optical fiber winding machine. Content of the Utility Model
