As a result, the cleanliness of the optical fiber flushed out is unstable, and the operator cannot squeeze multiple cleaning bottles at the same time. This leads to different corrosion times between the first optical fiber and the last optical fiber, resulting in poor product consistency. Utility Model Content

[0040] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0041] like Figure 2As shown, a fiber hairming agent cleaning device includes a liquid storage container 2, a placement table 3 and a water divider 4; the liquid storage container 2 is used to store cleaning agent, and the liquid storage container 2 is provided with a pump body 5 for outputting the cleaning agent; the placement table 3 has a plurality of placement positions for optical fibers 1 arranged side by side along a first direction; the water divider 4 has a plurality of water outlets, and the plurality of water outlets are provided corresponding to the plurality of placement positions and are located above the placement table 3. The water divider 4 is connected to the pump body 5 via a water pipe 6.

[0042] In this embodiment, the optical fiber 1 is placed on the placement table 3 in a straightened state, so when multiple optical fibers 1 are placed side by side, the extension lines of any two optical fibers 1 are parallel, thereby making it possible to more fully clean the optical fiber 1. During specific use, by starting the pump body 5, the detergent in the liquid storage container 2 is pumped out and reaches the water divider 4 through the water pipe 6, so that the water outlet of the water divider 4 simultaneously discharges liquid and acts on the optical fiber 1, thereby meeting the requirement of using the detergent to clean the light. The water outlet in this embodiment and the water nozzle connected thereto are both conical in design, which can provide the cleaning strength of the detergent and have high compatibility. In addition, the water divider 4 in this embodiment is made of a transparent material, such as glass, plastic, acrylic plate, etc.

[0043] To better utilize this embodiment, a linear motion mechanism 7 and a connecting bracket 8 are further included. One end of the connecting bracket 8 is connected to the free end of the linear motion mechanism 7, and the other end is connected to the water divider 4. The linear motion mechanism 7 drives the connecting bracket 8 to move in a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction. Therefore, the linear motion mechanism 7 drives the connecting bracket 8 to move in the direction of extension of the optical fiber 1, thereby effectively expanding the liquid supply range. The linear motion mechanism 7 can be a screw mechanism, a rack and pinion mechanism, a linear module, a telescopic rod mechanism, etc., so that the movement of the active end can drive the connecting bracket 8 to move linearly, thereby meeting the movement requirements of the water divider 4. It should be noted that the linear motion mechanism 7 can actually directly drive the water divider 4 to move. However, under actual assembly conditions, the active position of the water divider 4 and the installation position of the linear motion mechanism 7 differ, necessitating the use of the connecting bracket 8 as an intermediate position. In other words, the connecting bracket 8 expands the assembly range of the water divider 4 and extends the assembly distance of the water divider 4. Furthermore, the water supply pipe 6 is a deformable flexible pipe.

[0044] In this embodiment, the linear motion mechanism 7 is provided with a limit sensor 9. The active end of the linear motion mechanism 7 has two extreme positions, and both extreme positions are provided with limit sensors 9. During specific use, movement collision, movement separation, etc. can be avoided. Furthermore, during use, the linear motion mechanism 7 has strong mechanical inertia, which will greatly reduce the mechanical life, thereby causing inaccurate stop position accuracy. In this embodiment, during debugging, the linear motion mechanism 7 is first made to move back and forth at a slow speed once to find the position of the limit sensor 9; then, during use, most of the path is moved at an appropriate speed. When it is about to move to the limit sensor 9, it is decelerated, and the deceleration is continuously carried out to slowly move to the position of the limit sensor 9, thereby avoiding strong mechanical inertia.

[0045] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, this embodiment also includes a water collection tank 10, which is positioned below the placement table 3. Wastewater from cleaning the optical fiber 1 with the cleaning agent falls into the water collection tank 10. The water collection tank 10 has an opening, and the placement table 3 can be mounted on the opening. During the cleaning process, wastewater can flow into the water collection tank 10 through the opening. Furthermore, to prevent secondary contamination of the optical fiber 1, the water collection tank 10 is provided with a baffle assembly to prevent wastewater from impacting the bottom of the water collection tank 10 and / or the liquid inside the tank, thereby splashing onto the optical fiber 1. Specifically, the baffle assembly includes a first plate assembly and a second plate assembly. The first plate assembly is positioned on the first wall, and the second plate assembly is positioned on the second wall. The first and second walls are arranged opposite each other. A liquid channel is defined between the first and second plate assemblies. The liquid channel corresponds to the opening of the water collection tank 10. Furthermore, the first and second plate assemblies form an inverted "eight" structure. The design of the inverted eight-shaped structure enables the first plate group and the second plate group to form an effective barrier when sewage splashes back, preventing sewage from splashing back to the optical fiber 1, and significantly reducing the probability of secondary contamination of the optical fiber 1. Furthermore, the first plate group / the second plate group has a plurality of layers of plates 11 spaced apart from each other; in the first plate group and the second plate group, between any two adjacent layers of plates 11, the distance between the free end of the upper layer of plates 11 and the box wall to which it is connected is greater than the distance between the free end of the lower layer of plates 11 and the box wall to which it is connected. This structure is easy to set up, and effectively weakens the splashing water through stepped stratification, thereby better achieving the effect of blocking the back-splashing sewage. In this embodiment, the first plate group and the second plate group each have three layers of plates 11. For any layer of plates 11, in order to better achieve the blocking of back-splashing sewage, the length of the plate 11 is consistent with the width of the first box wall / the second box wall. In the first plate group and the second plate group, there is a liquid droplet between the plates 11 of the corresponding layer, so the liquid droplets between the layers are connected to form a liquid droplet channel. At this time, it can be seen that the width of the liquid droplet between the layers gradually increases from top to bottom, so it is equivalent to the first plate group and the second plate group being able to cover the splashed sewage cap in the water collection box 10, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the optical fiber 1.

[0046] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that the above preferred embodiments should not be construed as limiting the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the scope defined in the claims. Persons skilled in the art will appreciate that improvements and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such improvements and modifications shall also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
