Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of optical communications, in particular to a fiber inserting and length-fixing curing tool. Background Art

[0002] During the fiber splitting operation on the standard end of the pigtail product, the curing tooling currently used cannot control the fiber insertion length, thus affecting the yield rate of the pigtail product. Secondly, since the fiber is not positioned during curing, the fiber insertion length changes during the curing process or during the transfer process, and this change will affect the yield rate of the pigtail product. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model provides a core insertion and fiber fixed length curing tool to solve the shortcomings of the above-mentioned prior art and the problem that the optical fiber insertion length cannot be controlled, and has strong practicality.

[0004] In order to achieve the purpose of this utility model, the following technologies are proposed:

[0005] A fiber-insertion and fixed-length curing tool comprises a curing disk, a long groove is provided on the curing disk, a plurality of guide blocks are provided at the bottom of the long groove, a boss is provided on the curing disk, a plurality of first limiting grooves are provided on the boss, and a plurality of embedded grooves are formed on the curing disk. The curing disk is preferably a bakelite board, and the first limiting groove plays a role in positioning each optical fiber.

[0006] A long strip is installed on one side of the curing tray, and a card table is provided on the long strip. A card slot is provided on the upper end of the card table. A limit table is provided on the front side of the card table. A plurality of second limit slots are provided on the upper end of the limit table. The second limit slots correspond one to one with the first limit slots. The card slot limits the length direction of the pigtail product to facilitate the control of the optical fiber insertion length. The second limit slot positions each pigtail product to facilitate the insertion of the corresponding optical fiber into the tail of the pigtail product.

[0007] A magnet is installed in the embedded groove, and a pressure plate is adsorbed on the magnet. The pressure plate is located on the curing disk. The optical fiber is clamped by the magnet adsorbing the pressure plate. This method ensures that the optical fiber does not change in insertion length after insertion, thereby improving the yield rate of the pigtail product.

[0008] A movable plate is movably provided in the long groove, and the width of the movable plate is smaller than the width of the long groove. A plurality of long holes are provided on the movable plate, and a plurality of positioning screws are passed through the long holes. The lower ends of the positioning screws are provided at the bottom of the long groove. A plurality of guide grooves are provided on the movable plate, and the guide blocks are passed through the guide grooves, and the length of the guide blocks is shorter than the length of the guide grooves. The guide blocks and guide grooves are provided to position the movable plate, and the optical fiber insertion length can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the movable plate.

[0009] An elastic card block is provided on the movable plate, and a plurality of third limiting grooves are formed on the opening of the upper end of the elastic card block. The third limiting grooves are in one-to-one correspondence with the second limiting grooves. Each optical fiber can be positioned by the elastic card block and the third limiting groove thereon. When the positioning is completed, it is necessary to ensure that the length of the optical fiber extending out of the elastic card block is equal. During the insertion process, the optical fiber can be inserted at a fixed length by moving the movable plate inward.

[0010] Furthermore, the curing disk has a rectangular structure, the length direction of the long groove is parallel to the length direction of the curing disk, and the first limiting grooves are arranged in an evenly spaced array along the length direction of the curing disk. This design facilitates the core insertion operation.

[0011] Furthermore, in order to improve the accuracy of the optical fiber insertion length, the guide groove and the guide block are waist-shaped, and the length direction of the guide block is parallel to the width direction of the long groove;

[0012] The length direction of the guide groove is parallel to the width direction of the movable plate.

[0013] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the movement of the movable plate and the insertion of the optical fiber, long grooves are extended from both ends of the movable plate.

[0014] Furthermore, this structural design can improve the deformation capability of the third limiting groove and can stably position the optical fiber. The lower end of the third limiting groove is an arc-shaped structure.

[0015] Furthermore, in order to improve the effect of positioning the optical fiber, the lower end of the third limiting groove is formed into an arc-shaped structure.

[0016] Furthermore, in order to improve the deformation ability of the elastic block at a higher temperature, the elastic block is made of silicone material.

[0017] Furthermore, in order to stably limit the optical fiber, a plurality of fourth limiting grooves are provided on the lower wall of the pressing plate, and the fourth limiting grooves are in a one-to-one correspondence with the third limiting grooves.

[0018] The advantages of the above technical solution are:

[0019] The utility model facilitates the fixed-length insertion of optical fibers and can reduce the influence of the operation mode on the insertion length of the optical fibers, thereby improving the yield rate of pigtail products. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The pressure plate is located on the curing disk 1 , and a plurality of fourth limiting grooves are opened on the lower wall of the pressure plate. The fourth limiting grooves are in a one-to-one correspondence with the first limiting grooves 12 .

[0027] A movable plate 2 is movably provided in the long groove 10, and both ends of the movable plate 2 extend out of the long groove 10. The width of the movable plate 2 is smaller than the width of the long groove 10. A plurality of long holes 20 are provided on the movable plate 2, and a plurality of positioning screws are passed through the long holes 20. The lower end of the positioning screw is provided at the bottom of the long groove 10. A plurality of guide grooves 21 are provided on the movable plate 2.
