[0026] Specifically, an adjustment component 2 is further provided on the upper surface of the bottom plate 1 and is located on the front side of the arc-shaped sleeve 12. The adjustment component 2 includes a second electric push rod 20 fixedly installed on the bottom plate 1. The end of the telescopic shaft of the second electric push rod 20 is fixedly installed with a guide rail 21. The end of the guide rail 21 is fixedly installed with a servo motor 25. The end of the output shaft of the servo motor 25 is fixedly installed with a forward lead screw 26. The end of the forward lead screw 26 is fixedly installed with a reverse lead screw 261. Sliders 27 are threadedly connected to both the forward lead screw 26 and the reverse lead screw 261. The sliders 27 are slidably connected to the guide rail 21. The top ends of the sliders 27 are fixedly installed with clamping blocks 28, which facilitates the clamping operation of the optical fiber unit by using the clamping blocks 28, and then the second electric push rod 20 works to perform the adjustment operation in the up and down positions.
[0027] In this embodiment, a plurality of support legs 10 arranged in a matrix are fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the bottom plate 1. The height of the support legs 10 is 10 cm to 30 cm, which realizes the stable support operation by using the support legs 10.
[0028] Specifically, a clamping hole 131 is provided between the top plate of the support frame 13 and the other side part of the arc-shaped sleeve 12. The height of the clamping hole 131 is greater than the outer diameter of the optical cable, which is used for the clamping operation of the optical cable.
[0029] Further, a chute 211 is provided in the guide rail 21 along the length direction of the guide rail 21. The slider 27 is located in the chute 211 and is slidably connected to the chute 211.

[0030] In addition, a lifting plate 22 is fixedly installed on the side surface of the guide rail 21. The upper surface of the lifting plate 22 is on the same plane as the upper surface of the guide rail 21; a limiting ring 23 is fixedly installed on the lifting plate 22.

When the first electric push rod 14 works, the telescopic shaft thereon elongates to drive the lower pressing plate 15 to move downward, so as to clamp and fix the central tube on the arc-shaped sleeve 12.
[0034] Then, the optical fiber unit is placed between the two clamping blocks 28. The servo motor 25 is started and made to work. When the servo motor 25 works, the output shaft thereon rotates to drive the forward lead screw 26 and the reverse lead screw 261 to rotate, further driving the slider 27 and the clamping block 28 to move. The clamping block 28 clamps the optical fiber unit to be in the same vertical plane as the center of the central tube. Then, the second electric push rod 20 is started and made to work. When the second electric push rod 20 works, the telescopic shaft thereon elongates or shortens, which can drive the guide rail 21 to move, further driving the optical fiber unit to move, so as to adjust the up-and-down position of the optical fiber unit. During the adjustment process, observe according to the position where the infrared laser lamp 29 irradiates on the central tube to ensure alignment is completed.
