[0016] In order to deepen the understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with embodiments. The embodiments are only used to explain the present invention and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0017] according to Figure 1As shown, this embodiment proposes a double-layer universal test fixture for optical fiber rings and sensitive ring assemblies, including a circular base 1, a circular sealing cover 2 and a circular mounting seat 3. The circular mounting seat 3 is installed inside the circular base 1 through a supporting assembly, and the top cover of the circular base 1 is provided with a circular sealing cover 2. A first optical fiber outlet 4 is provided on the outer wall of the circular base 1, and a first waveguide wire outlet 5 is provided on one side of the first optical fiber outlet 4. A second optical fiber outlet 6 is provided on the side of the circular mounting seat 3 close to the circular base 1, and a second waveguide wire outlet 7 is provided on one side of the second optical fiber outlet 6. A plurality of groups of waveguide positioning holes 8 are provided at the bottom of the circular mounting seat 3.

[0018] When testing the optical fiber ring, the circular base 1 is used to place the optical fiber ring, and the mounting seat above the support column 9 is used to wind the pigtail and waveguide line, and the Y waveguide of the optical fiber ring is fixed through the waveguide positioning hole 8 to reduce the mutual interference between the pigtail and the waveguide line. Then, the pigtail and the waveguide line are connected to the test system through the second optical fiber outlet 6, the second waveguide line outlet 7, the first optical fiber outlet 4 and the first waveguide line outlet 5, so as to test the optical fiber ring. When testing the sensitive ring component, it is only necessary to place the sensitive ring component in the base and then lead out the pigtail and the wire.

[0019] The support assembly includes a support column 9. The circular base 1 is provided with multiple groups of threaded holes 10 that match the support column 9. The bottom of the support column 9 is connected to the threaded hole 10, and the top of the support column 9 is connected to the circular mounting seat 3.

[0020] The circular mounting seat 3 is supported by multiple groups of support columns 9 and a gap is formed between the circular mounting seat 3 and the circular base 1, thereby ensuring the placement of the optical fiber ring and the winding of the pigtail and waveguide wire, reducing interference effects.

[0021] The circular mounting seat 3 and the top of the support column 9 are both provided with mounting holes 11. The circular mounting seat 3 is fixed to the support column 9 by bolts in conjunction with the mounting holes 11, and the mounting holes 11 are used to fix the support column 9 and the circular mounting seat 3.

[0023] A plurality of vents 13 are arranged in an array on the side wall of the circular base 1 with the conical countersunk hole 12 as the center. The arrangement of the plurality of vents 13 promotes a more uniform temperature gradient change inside the test fixture, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the test results.

[0024] The top of the circular base 1 is provided with an annular clamping block 14, and the bottom of the circular sealing cover 2 is provided with an annular clamping groove 15. The connection mode of the annular clamping block 14 and the annular clamping groove 15 makes the installation of the circular sealing cover 2 easier.

[0025] The double-layer universal test tool for optical fiber rings and sensitive ring components includes a double-layer structure and can be used as a universal tool for optical fiber ring screening ring testing and sensitive ring component finished product testing. When used as a finished product testing tool for sensitive ring components, the lower layer structure is mainly used to fix the sensitive ring component to be tested on the circular base 1. The internal space is sufficient to accommodate two to three sensitive ring components. The pigtails and waveguides of the sensitive ring components are arranged and fixed so that they are led out of the temperature chamber in two ways from the first optical fiber outlet 4 and the first waveguide outlet 5. Then, the circular sealing cover 2 is covered to seal the temperature chamber and the test can be carried out. Data collection, and when used as a fiber optic ring test fixture, both the upper and lower layers are used, wherein the circular base 1 of the lower layer is mainly used to place the fiber optic ring, and its space can accommodate various types of fiber optic rings with a diameter of less than 100 mm. The upper circular mounting seat 3 is mainly used to wind the fiber optic ring and the waveguide pigtail and fix the Y waveguide, and then the second fiber optic outlet 6, the second waveguide wire outlet 7, the first fiber optic outlet 4 and the first waveguide wire outlet 5 cooperate with each other to lead the pigtail and the waveguide wire to the test platform, and finally the circular sealing cover 2 is covered to seal it, so that the fiber optic ring can be tested.
