[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an optical cable splicing auxiliary device to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, thereby ensuring welding quality and saving manpower.

[0026] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0027] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the utility model provides an optical cable splicing auxiliary device, including an optical cable clamp 2, an adjustment platform 4 and a welding machine 6, one end of the optical cable clamp 2 is used to be set on a fixed surface, and the other end is used to clamp the optical cable, and the optical cable clamp 2 is at least relatively set as two, one of which is used to clamp a section of optical cable, and the other is used to clamp another section of optical cable, the adjustment platform 4 is used to be fixedly set on the fixed surface and is set between the two optical cable clamps 2, the adjustment platform includes a fixed part and a movable part, the fixed part is fixed on the fixed surface, and the movable part can move relative to the fixed part, the welding machine 6 is set on the movable part, and the welding machine 6 can slide on the adjustment platform 4 to weld the two sections of optical cables to be welded. The optical cable clamps 2 each clamp a section of optical cable to be connected, and the welding machine 6 is arranged on the adjustment platform 4 and can slide in the plane formed by the adjustment platform 4. The operator can flexibly and conveniently adjust the position of the welding machine according to the specific part of the optical cable that needs to be welded. Whether it is along the axial direction of the optical cable or in a plane perpendicular to the axial direction, small-range position fine-tuning can be easily achieved, which can greatly improve the flexibility and operability of the welding operation. At the same time, after the optical cables clamped by the two optical cable clamps 2 are close to each other, the welding machine 6 can be accurately moved to the part to be welded under the action of the adjustment platform 4, which can ensure the quality of welding, and the whole process can be completed by only one person, and no longer requires the collaboration of multiple people, such as one person docking and one person welding, saving manpower.

[0028] It should be noted that the fixing surface can be the ground or the wall, which can be flexibly determined according to the use environment.

[0029] In some embodiments, the optical cable splicing auxiliary device further includes a base 1, the optical cable clamp 2 and the adjustment platform 4 are both fixedly arranged on the base 1, and the adjustment platform 4 is a two-dimensional adjustment platform, including a first slide rail and a second slide rail, the first slide rail is fixedly arranged on the base, a first slider is slidably arranged on the first slide rail, a second slide rail is fixedly connected to the first slide rail, a second slider is slidably arranged on the second slide rail, and the second slider is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed connection welding machine 6. The first slide rail is equivalent to the fixed part described above, and the first slider and the second slider can be used as moving parts. By sliding the first slider in the first slide rail and the second slider in the second slide rail, the welding machine 6 can be accurately positioned in the plane formed by the second slide rail and the first slide rail. This allows the welding machine 6 to accurately locate any specific part on the optical cable that needs to be welded, and can meet the requirements of the welding position with high accuracy in both the X direction and the Y direction in the plane, and can effectively avoid welding quality problems caused by inaccurate positioning, such as cold welding, leaking welding, etc., thereby ensuring the high quality completion of the welding work.

[0030] It should be noted that the top surface of the base 1 is the fixing surface mentioned above, and the base 1 is fixed on a wall or the ground.

[0031] In some embodiments, the optical cable splicing auxiliary device further includes a welding machine base 5, on which the welding machine 6 is fixedly mounted, and the welding machine base 5 is fixedly mounted on the second slider. The welding machine base 5 provides a stable support platform for the welding machine 6, and the welding machine 6 is fixedly mounted on the welding machine base 5, so that the welding machine 6 can maintain a stable posture during operation (including welding operations and movement on the adjustment platform). This helps prevent the welding machine 6 from shaking, shifting, etc. due to its own unstable structure or slight external interference (such as slight touches during operation, slight vibrations during equipment operation, etc.), thereby ensuring the accuracy of the welding operation, ensuring that the position of the welding point is accurate, and helping to improve the welding quality.

[0032] In some embodiments, the optical cable clamp 2 includes a fixed leg 21 and a clamp 22. The fixed leg 21 is fixedly mounted on the base, and the clamp 22 is fixed to the end of the fixed leg 21 away from the base 1, and is used to clamp the optical cable. The fixed leg 21 is mounted on the base and provides a solid support foundation for the entire optical cable clamp 2. It withstands various forces, such as tension and pressure, generated by the clamp 22 when clamping the optical cable. During operations such as splicing and laying the optical cable, even if it is disturbed by certain external forces, the fixed leg 21 can ensure that the clamp as a whole remains stable, effectively preventing the clamp from shaking or shifting, which may affect the normal clamping and subsequent operation of the optical cable.

[0033] In some embodiments, the clip 22 is provided with a clamping hole, and the height of the clamping hole is consistent with the height of the welding head of the welding machine 6, so that when the optical cable welding operation is performed, the optical cable can be accurately positioned at a position that matches the height of the welding head. When the optical cable is firmly clamped by the clip 22 through the clamping hole, the welding head can be accurately aligned with the part of the optical cable that needs to be welded, avoiding problems such as welding offset and cold welding that may be caused by height differences, ensuring the connection quality of the weld, and ensuring that the signal transmission and other performance of the optical cable after the connection are not affected, greatly improving the accuracy of welding, and after the optical cable is installed in the clamping hole, it can be aligned with the welding head of the welding machine, so that the welding machine does not need to be adjusted in the height direction, but only needs to be adjusted in the horizontal plane, saving operation steps and operation time.

[0034] In some embodiments, four optical cable clamps 2 are provided, and two are located on each side of the adjustment platform 4, so that the optical cable is fixed from multiple points, so that the force exerted on the optical cable during the clamping process is more evenly distributed, effectively avoiding local deformation and damage of the optical cable caused by excessive force at a single point or a few points, thereby better protecting the physical integrity of the optical cable and ensuring that it can function normally in subsequent operations (such as welding, etc.).

[0035] In some embodiments, the optical cable splicing auxiliary device also includes a splicing joint 7, which is slidably mounted on the optical cable clamped by two optical cable clamps 2 on either side of the adjustment platform 4. Two optical cable clamps 2 are provided on both sides of the adjustment platform 4. When the optical cable clamps 2 clamp the optical cable, the optical cable located between the two optical cable clamps 2 can support the splicing joint 7. After welding is completed, the welding machine 6 is removed, the optical cable clamp 2 on the side of the splicing joint 7 close to the welding machine is loosened, the splicing joint 7 is moved to the welded position, and then the loosened optical cable clamp 2 is re-clamped, and then the splicing joint 7 is installed. The splicing joint 7 can protect the welding point, and finally the spliced ​​optical cable is detected with an instrument.

[0036] In some embodiments, the optical cable splicing auxiliary device also includes an adjustment platform base 3, and the adjustment platform base 3 is an I-shaped seat. An adjustment platform 4 is fixedly provided on the top of the adjustment platform base 3, and the lower end face is fixedly connected to the base 1. The design of the I-shaped seat makes the adjustment platform base 3 itself have a higher structural stability, and the upper and lower planes provide a basis for the connection between the adjustment platform 4 and the base 1.

[0037] In some embodiments, the top of the base 1 is provided with multiple groups of mounting holes 8 along its length. These mounting holes 8 are used to install the optical cable clamp 2. The provision of multiple groups of mounting holes 8 allows for a high degree of flexibility in the installation location of the optical cable clamp 2 on the base 1. Operators can select different groups of mounting holes 8 to install the optical cable clamp 2 based on factors such as the specific fiber splicing task, the cable routing, and operational habits. For example, for longer optical cables, the clamps may need to be installed at greater distances to better secure and support the cable. For shorter cables or those requiring more delicate manipulation, relatively close mounting holes 8 can be selected to install the optical cable clamps 2, resulting in a denser distribution of the optical cable clamps 2, thereby meeting various installation layout requirements. Furthermore, different mounting holes 8 can be selected based on the hardness of the optical cable. After the optical cable clamp 2 is installed in the mounting holes 8, the two sections of optical cable can be placed in a straight line when the optical cable is installed on the cable clamp 2.

[0038] It should be noted that the adjustment platform base 3 can also be installed in the installation hole 8. It can be installed when needed and disassembled after use. Different installation holes can also be selected according to the position of the optical cable.

[0039] In some embodiments, the base 1 is made of channel steel, and the web of the channel steel is used to mount the optical cable clamp 2 and the adjustment platform. The base 1 can be mounted horizontally or vertically. The web of the channel steel serves as a mounting surface, allowing the forces generated by components such as the optical cable clamp 2 and the adjustment platform mounted thereon to be more evenly distributed. Compared to some flat bases, the structural characteristics of the channel steel allow stress to be better transmitted and dispersed within the base, avoiding problems such as damage to the base or loosening of components caused by localized excessive force. When external force is applied, the force is transmitted along the web and through the connection between the web and the flange. Compared to a flat base, the channel steel forms a structure with a certain depth and three-dimensionality, providing more paths and space for the transmission and dispersion of stress. The base can be mounted horizontally or vertically, and this selectivity greatly increases installation flexibility. In different working environments and application scenarios, the most appropriate installation method can be selected based on factors such as the actual space layout, operational convenience, and engineering requirements. For example, in places where space is relatively cramped and height is limited, horizontal installation can be chosen to make full use of the horizontal space; in some cases where it is necessary to save ground space or it is more convenient to operate in the vertical direction, vertical installation can be chosen.

[0040] The specific operation of using the optical cable splicing auxiliary device to splice optical cables is as follows:

[0041] First, fix the base 1 on the operating platform as required, adjust the optical cable clamp 2 to the appropriate position and fix it on the base 1, adjust the adjustment platform 4 and the adjustment platform base 3 to the appropriate position and fix them on the base 1, then connect the welding machine base 5 and the welding machine 6 to the adjustment platform 4, peel off the protective layer of the disconnected optical cable, and remove the protective layer of the steel pipe of appropriate length to expose the bare optical fiber, and after passing the connecting joint 7 onto a section of disconnected optical cable, fix the two sections of optical cable to the optical cable clamps 2 on both sides of the adjusting platform 4 respectively, adjust the position of the welding machine 6 for welding, and after welding is completed, remove the welding machine 6, loosen the optical cable clamp 2 close to the welding machine with the connecting joint 7 side, move the connecting joint 7 to the welded position, and then re-clamp the loosened optical cable clamp 2, and then install the connecting joint 7. Finally, use an instrument to detect the connected optical cable. After passing the test, remove the optical cable connecting auxiliary device.

[0042] The present invention uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The above examples are only intended to help understand the method and core concept of the present invention. At the same time, those skilled in the art will find that the specific implementation methods and application scopes may vary based on the concept of the present invention. In summary, the contents of this specification should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
