Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to an optical fiber wiring device, in particular to an optical fiber wiring mechanism for changing wires. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of fiber-optic communication technology, the demand for building and maintaining fiber-optic networks is increasing. Fiber optic cable arrangement mechanisms, as crucial equipment in the production of fiber-optic rings, arrange optical fibers to meet varying ring performance requirements. When using the quadruple symmetrical winding method to wind fiber rings, the fiber is divided into two equal parts at the midpoint and then wound onto two separate fiber supply reels. The fiber supply reels control the retraction and release of the fiber. By sequentially replacing the fiber supply reels, alternating winding is achieved, increasing the number of layers in the wound fiber ring.
[0003] Since many fiber optic winding devices have not yet achieved full automation, manual intervention is still required, especially in the critical step of line change. The operator manually adjusts the feed speed and pulling force of the optical fiber to control the tension of the optical fiber during winding and line change. Although manual operation is flexible, it is also easily affected by factors such as the operator's experience, skill level and fatigue level, resulting in inaccurate and unstable tension control. When connecting the optical fiber to the winding equipment or replacing the fiber supply wheel, if the tension applied by the operator is too large, the optical fiber provided by the fiber supply wheel may be stretched and deformed near the access point of the winding equipment, or even directly broken. Due to the change in tension, the optical fiber provided by the fiber supply wheel and the wound optical fiber surface rub against each other, resulting in scratches or wear, affecting the performance of the optical fiber ring. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an optical fiber cable arrangement mechanism for cable replacement, and the technical problem to be solved is how to improve the stability of the tension during the optical fiber cable replacement process.
[0005] The utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0006] A fiber optic cable arrangement mechanism for changing cables, the fiber optic cable arrangement mechanism being used to connect to a fiber supply wheel and alternately change cables. Any one of the two fiber supply wheels is docked with a follower disk, and the other fiber supply wheel moves with the fiber optic cable arrangement mechanism. The fiber optic cable arrangement mechanism comprises a transverse moving assembly and a first lifting assembly, wherein the first lifting assembly is disposed on the transverse moving assembly.
[0007] The movable end of the first lifting assembly is provided with a support platform, and the upper surface of the support platform is provided with a limiting column, which is used to be inserted into the limiting hole of the fiber supply wheel.
[0008] The fiber supply wheel is laterally limited by the limiting columns arranged on the support platform. The limiting columns provide a stable support and limiting structure for the fiber supply wheel. During the line changing process, the limiting columns can ensure that the relative position between the fiber supply wheel and the line arrangement mechanism remains unchanged, thereby preventing changes in the optical fiber tension caused by shaking or misalignment of the equipment; the fiber supply wheel is driven to move in the horizontal direction by the above-mentioned lateral moving component, which not only can control the line arrangement direction of the optical fiber, but also can move the fiber supply wheel toward the follower disk; the height of the fiber supply wheel is adjusted by the first lifting component, on the one hand, the access point position of the optical fiber provided by the fiber supply wheel and the winding equipment is adjusted; on the other hand, in conjunction with the lateral moving component, the fiber supply wheel can be smoothly inserted and fixed on the follower disk, which helps to avoid additional tension fluctuations of the optical fiber caused by improper position during the line changing process, and further improves the stability of the tension during the optical fiber line changing process.
[0009] Furthermore, the optical fiber arranging mechanism further includes a transverse telescopic component, which is used to be arranged on the fiber supply wheel;
[0010] The telescopic direction of the above-mentioned transverse telescopic assembly is perpendicular to the extension direction of the first lifting assembly and the movement direction of the transverse moving assembly;
[0011] The movable end of the transverse telescopic assembly is opposite to the side surface of the support platform.
[0012] On the basis of the original lateral movement and lifting, another dimension of adjustment capability is added to form multi-directional adjustment, which helps the fiber supply wheel to use the support platform as a fulcrum when it is separated from the limit column, and the movable end of the lateral telescopic component gradually abuts against the side of the support platform. After abutment, the movable end of the lateral telescopic component continues to extend, and then fine-tune the position of the fiber supply wheel to achieve the card connection with the follower disk, thereby enhancing the docking strength between the fiber supply wheel and the follower disk; when fine-tuning the position of the fiber supply wheel, the docking interface of the fiber supply wheel and the follower disk has been preliminarily matched, but not completely matched. At this time, the fiber supply wheel has been restricted on the follower disk, and the docking interface of the fiber supply wheel and the follower disk is completely matched through the lateral telescopic component, thereby reducing the tension fluctuation caused by the fiber winding process due to the incomplete matching of the docking interface between the fiber supply wheel and the follower disk during the docking process.
[0013] Furthermore, the above-mentioned transverse movement assembly includes a slide rail and a slider, the above-mentioned slide rail is adapted to the slider, and the slider moves along the slide rail; the above-mentioned slider is connected to the fixed end of the first lifting assembly.
[0014] The first lifting assembly is driven to move in the horizontal direction by the lateral moving assembly. Since the fiber supply wheel is arranged on the first lifting assembly, the fiber supply wheel is driven to move in the horizontal direction.
[0015] Furthermore, the first lifting assembly includes a first driver and a first lifting rod, wherein the output end of the first driver is connected to the first lifting rod, and the first driver is used to drive the first lifting rod to move up and down;
[0016] The support platform includes a first support plate and a second support plate, wherein the second support plate is sleeved on the middle portion of the first lifting rod, and the first support plate is arranged on the end portion of the first lifting rod;
[0017] The limiting column is arranged on the upper surface of the first supporting plate.
[0018] The first support plate and the second support plate arranged on the above-mentioned first lifting rod form a double support structure, which helps to reduce shaking and deviation during the lifting process, thereby maintaining the stability of the optical fiber tension; the limiting column arranged on the upper surface of the first support plate is used to insert into the limiting hole of the fiber supply wheel, thereby realizing the limitation and docking between the fiber supply wheel and the optical fiber wiring mechanism. This limiting design can not only ensure that the fiber supply wheel is accurately and stably docked to the follow-up disk, but also can be quickly inserted when taking the fiber supply wheel, quickly completing the line change, and avoiding tension fluctuations caused by position deviation.
[0019] Furthermore, the lateral telescopic assembly includes a second driver and a telescopic rod, and the output end of the second driver is connected to the telescopic rod; the telescopic rod is opposite to the side of the support platform.
[0020] Furthermore, the support platform is provided with a through hole, and a second lifting assembly is provided on the lower surface of the support platform. The movable end of the second lifting assembly is used to pass through the through hole and abut against the lower surface of the fiber supply wheel.
[0021] The second lifting assembly is an auxiliary structure that can also be used to separate the fiber supply wheel when the fiber supply wheel has not been initially fixed to the follower disk. It is usually used at the end of winding.
[0022] Furthermore, the second lifting assembly includes a third driver and a second lifting rod, wherein the output end of the third driver is connected to the second lifting rod, and the third driver is used to drive the second lifting rod to move up and down;
[0023] The second lifting rod passes through the through holes of the second support plate and the first support plate in sequence.
[0024] Furthermore, at least two second lifting assemblies are provided and evenly arranged around the first lifting rod to ensure that the force is evenly distributed when the fiber supply wheel is disengaged, thereby reducing damage to the optical fiber in the fiber supply wheel.
[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects:
[0026] The fiber supply wheel is laterally limited by the limiting columns arranged on the support platform. The limiting columns provide a stable support and limiting structure for the fiber supply wheel.
