Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cutting equipment, in particular to a cutting device for producing optical fiber connectors. Background Art

[0002] Fiber optic connectors are devices that provide detachable (movable) connections between optical fibers. They precisely connect the two end faces of the optical fibers to maximize the coupling of the light energy output by the transmitting fiber to the receiving fiber, while minimizing the impact on the system caused by its involvement in the optical link. This is the basic requirement of fiber optic connectors. Since fiber optic connectors are usually made of plastic, they are injection molded.

[0003] Although injection molding has many advantages, a certain amount of waste will remain on the edge of the workpiece after molding. In order to ensure the quality of the optical fiber connector, the edge residue needs to be trimmed before it leaves the factory. During the cutting process, the workpiece needs to be fixed synchronously to avoid cutting errors. For this reason, we propose a cutting device for optical fiber connector production.

[0022] Fiber optic connectors are devices that provide detachable connections between optical fibers. They precisely connect the two end faces of the optical fibers to maximize the coupling of the light energy output by the transmitting fiber to the receiving fiber, while minimizing the impact on the system caused by its involvement in the optical link. This is the basic requirement of fiber optic connectors. Since fiber optic connectors are usually made of plastic, they are injection molded.

[0023] Although injection molding has many advantages, some waste will remain on the edge of the workpiece after molding. In order to ensure the quality of the optical fiber connector, the residual edge needs to be trimmed before it leaves the factory. During the trimming process, the workpiece needs to be fixed to avoid cutting errors.

[0024] When cutting a workpiece, the lifting main motor 2 is started to drive the lifting assembly 21 to descend. First, the fixed pressure block 28 contacts the center point of the workpiece. As the lifting assembly 21 descends, the fixed pressure block 28 squeezes the spring 26, and the spring 26 contracts. The fixed pressure block 28 always maintains contact with the workpiece, and the cutting blades 23 on both sides cut off the waste at the edge of the workpiece to process the waste.

[0025] While the cutting blade 23 is cutting off the edge waste of the workpiece, the fixed pressure block 28 can be used to hold the material in place to prevent the material from shifting during the waste cutting process. At the same time, this mechanism will contact the center of the workpiece, providing better stability and performance.

[0031] The workpieces are placed in the material trough 30 in a certain order, and then the motor connected to the main rotating rod 32 is turned on. The main rotating rod 32 is driven to rotate, thereby rotating the driving gear 33, which can drive the driven gear 34 to rotate. The threaded rod 36 is rotated while the connected threaded sleeve 31 slides inside the limiting slide groove 14, driving the workpiece to the cutting position; the material placement table 3 with the workpiece placed thereon can be transported, thereby improving the efficiency of cutting the workpiece, and the structure of this mechanism is simple and easy to use, and does not add extra workload to the staff.
