Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of optical fiber manufacturing, in particular to a stabilizing device and a marking device. Background Art

[0002] During optical fiber production, it is necessary to mark the fiber. For example, after the fiber is drawn from the payout device, a printer sprays liquid ink onto the fiber. The liquid ink adheres to the fiber surface and transforms into a solid state, forming the corresponding information code. Finally, the marked fiber is collected on a take-up reel. To ensure the quality of the inkjet printing, a stabilization device is often used to prevent fiber vibration during this process.

[0003] The existing stabilization device is a pneumatic structure, which is equipped with an airflow generating device and an optical fiber stabilizer. The airflow generating device blows air into the optical fiber stabilizer, so that a beam-shaped airflow is formed inside the optical fiber stabilizer, thereby maintaining the position of the optical fiber and preventing the optical fiber from shaking through the damping generated by the airflow.

[0004] Although it can prevent optical fiber jitter, it is limited by the pneumatic structure. It is difficult for such stabilization devices to control the relative position of the optical fiber and the inkjet printer. In addition, the airflow can easily interfere with the liquid ink sprayed by the inkjet printer, affecting the marking quality. Utility Model Content

[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present invention and implement it. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the utility model discloses a stabilizing device, which includes a support assembly 10 , a first adjusting member 20 and a second adjusting member 30 .

[0028] The support assembly 10 is used to support the optical fiber when marking the optical fiber, maintain the position of the optical fiber to prevent the optical fiber from shaking. The support assembly 10 includes a support member 11 and a support seat 12.

[0029] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the support member 11 is formed by bending a rod-shaped member, and the support member 11 includes a connecting portion 111 and a bending portion 112. There are two connecting portions 111, and the two connecting portions 111 are arranged crosswise. The bending portion 112 has two ends, one end of each connecting portion 111 is connected to the support seat 12, and the other end of each connecting portion 111 is connected to one of the two ends of the bending portion 112. The connected connecting portion 111 and the bending portion 112 enclose a support channel 113. When marking, the optical fiber is passed through the support channel 113 to form a support for the optical fiber through the connecting portion 111, thereby maintaining the position of the optical fiber and preventing the optical fiber from shaking during the marking process. This mechanical limiting support structure can effectively prevent the optical fiber from shaking while not interfering with other devices, such as the inkjet printer 40, thereby ensuring high marking quality.

[0030] The first adjusting member 20 and the second adjusting member 30 are used to drive the support assembly 10 to move relative to the inkjet printer 40 so as to adjust the relative position between the optical fiber and the inkjet printer 40 to ensure high marking quality. Specifically, the first adjusting member 20 is connected to the support seat 12, and the first adjusting member 20 is used to drive the support assembly 10 to move along the first direction D1. The second adjusting member 30 is connected to the first adjusting member 20, and the second adjusting member 30 is used to drive the first adjusting member 20 to move along the second direction D2. Preferably, the first direction D1 and the second direction D2 are perpendicular, and the transport direction of the optical fiber is perpendicular to the first direction D1 and the second direction D2, respectively. Those skilled in the art can set specific adjusting members according to actual needs to achieve position adjustment.

[0031] During use, the first and second adjustment members 20 and 30 are adjusted according to the position of the inkjet printer 40 to align the support assembly 10 with the inkjet printer 40. After the position adjustment is completed, the optical fiber is inserted into the support channel 113 of the support member 11. The optical fiber is supported by the connection portion 111, thereby maintaining the position of the optical fiber and preventing it from shaking during the marking process. The marking operation can then be carried out.

[0032] The stabilization device described in this utility model utilizes a support member 11 to support the optical fiber, thereby maintaining its position and preventing it from vibrating during the marking process. This effectively prevents fiber vibration while preventing interference with the inkjet printer 40, ensuring high marking quality. Furthermore, the first and second adjustment members 20 and 30 allow for adjustment of the relative position between the optical fiber and the inkjet printer 40, further ensuring high marking quality.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in the stabilizing device described in the present invention, in some embodiments, the first adjusting member 20 includes an adjusting rod 21, an adjusting nut 22 and an elastic component 23. The axial direction of the adjusting rod 21 is parallel to the first direction D1, and the adjusting rod 21 includes a connecting section 211 and an adjusting section 212 arranged in sequence along its own axial direction; preferably, the diameter of the adjusting section 212 is smaller than the diameter of the connecting section 211. The connecting section 211 is connected to the second adjusting member 30 to achieve movement adjustment along the second direction D2. The support seat 12 is movably arranged on the adjusting section 212, and those skilled in the art can set the way of moving the two together according to actual needs, such as providing a slide groove or hole-shaft matching. A thread is provided on the end of the adjusting section 212 away from the connecting section 211, and the adjusting nut 22 is threadedly connected to the adjusting section 212 so that the adjusting nut 22 can be rotated to achieve adjustment of the relative positions of the adjusting nut 22 and the adjusting rod 21. There are multiple elastic components 23, and the multiple elastic components 23 are respectively arranged on both sides of the support seat 12 along the first direction D1, wherein the two ends of the elastic component 23 on one side respectively abut the support seat 12 and the connecting section 211, and the two ends of the elastic component 23 on the other side respectively abut the support seat 12 and the adjusting nut 22. Preferably, the elastic component 23 is configured as a butterfly washer. When the adjusting nut 22 moves toward or away from the connecting section 211, the butterfly washer undergoes elastic deformation, and the distance between each butterfly washer is compressed or expanded, so as to drive the support seat 12 to move relative to the adjusting section 212, thereby adjusting the relative position of the support assembly 10 in the first direction D1. The first adjustment member 20 of this structure is simple in structure and can conveniently realize the adjustment of the relative position of the support assembly 10 in the first direction D1 to ensure high marking quality.
