Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of optical fiber fusion splicer heaters, in particular to an optical fiber fusion splicer with a reflective aluminum skin structure. Background Art
[0002] The main material that constitutes the optical fiber is quartz glass. The main function of the optical fiber fusion splicer is to melt and connect two 125-micron diameter optical fibers, and then use the heater to heat-shrink the optical fiber joints wrapped in the heat shrink tube material for reinforcement and protection. The fusion splicer heater is a power-consuming heating element, which is the largest power-consuming component of the fusion splicer. The optical fiber fusion splicer heater is a key component of the optical fiber fusion splicer. The main function of the optical fiber fusion splicer heater is to heat-shrink the heat shrink tube, thereby increasing the strength of the optical fiber connection. After the optical fiber fusion is completed, the heat shrink tube is moved to the position of the fusion point and heated by the heater so that the heat shrink tube tightly wraps the fusion point, which plays a role of protection and reinforcement. The heat shrink tube is heated by generating high temperature, causing it to shrink and fit tightly to the optical fiber fusion point. In this process, the heater needs to reach a certain temperature to ensure that the heat shrink tube can shrink effectively. At the same time, the heating time and temperature need to be controlled to avoid damage to the optical fiber. The optical fiber fusion splicer heater is widely used in the construction and maintenance of optical cables in the field of optical communications.
[0003] The heater cavity of the optical fiber fusion splicer is a non-enclosed space and has not been effectively insulated. Under normal temperature and low temperature environments, serious heat transfer losses such as heat conduction and heat convection are prone to occur. At the same time, when the heater is in use, dust is prone to appear inside the heater, which is inconvenient to clean and the existing dust can easily affect the use of the heater.

The dust particles in the reflective aluminum skin are tightly adsorbed on the surface of the chemical fiber through electrostatic action, and the reflective aluminum skin is wrapped around the lower part and the left and right sides of the heater. Under the condition of not affecting the heating operation of the upper surface of the heater, that is, the heating surface of the heater to the heated object, the heating body is insulated and heat-preserved in real time, and the outward heat dissipation channels on the lower part, left and right sides of the heater are blocked, thereby minimizing heat loss, and playing the role of heat preservation and heat energy storage.

The reflective aluminum skin 5 wraps the lower part and the left and right sides of the heater heating element 4 without affecting the heating operation of the upper surface of the heater heating element 4, that is, the heating surface facing the heated object, thereby insulating and preserving the heating element in real time, blocking the outward heat dissipation channels on the lower part, left and right sides of the heating element, minimizing heat loss, and playing the role of heat preservation and heat storage. Two mounting blocks 7 are installed on one side of the cover plate 2, a dust cleaning component 6 is installed between the two mounting blocks 7, and two side plates 8 are installed on the other side of the cover plate 2.

One end of the screw rod 601 extends to the outside of the mounting block 7 and is connected to the driven pulley 605. The dust collecting roller 604 slides inside the reflective aluminum skin 5. The dust collecting roller 604 is composed of a threaded cylinder and a dust collecting sleeve. The dust collecting sleeve is made of chemical fiber material.
