Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of a wire drawing mechanism for laying optical fibers, in particular to a wire drawing mechanism for laying optical fibers. Background Art

[0002] Laying optical fiber is a critical step in building high-speed communications networks. Optical fiber cables consist of a core, cladding, and sheath. The core is the most crucial component, used to transmit optical signals. It is primarily made of high-purity silica and typically has a diameter ranging from a few to tens of microns. For example, the core diameter of single-mode optical fiber is generally around 9-10 μm. This type of fiber is used for long-distance, high-bandwidth communications. The cladding surrounds the core and has a lower refractive index than the core, allowing light signals to propagate through the core via total internal reflection. The sheath protects the optical fiber from environmental damage and is typically made of materials such as plastic, offering waterproof, moisture-proof, and abrasion-resistant properties.

[0003] During the optical fiber laying process, it is necessary to pull the light in overhead laying, pipeline laying and direct burial laying. In pipeline laying, due to the narrow and long pipeline, traditional traction requires the use of a traction rope connected to a threader to pull the traction rope through the pipeline. This method cannot well protect the optical fiber traction part and is not applicable to pipelines of different sizes within a certain diameter range. There is also a risk of the traction rope breaking, which causes certain inconveniences. Based on this, a pulling mechanism for optical fiber laying is proposed. Utility Model Content

The top and bottom of one end of the outer sleeve 13 are provided with a mounting hole 15, and both sides of the outer sleeve 13 are threadedly connected and penetrated with two fixing bolts 3 14.

The internal activity of the fixing plate 21 is penetrated by two fastening bolts 22, and a mounting hole 23 is provided at one end of the clamp 19.

[0020] The working principle of the above technical solution: when in use, adjust the length of the outer branch pipe 1 and the inner branch pipe 2 according to the situation of the pipeline, and insert and fix them through the fixing bolt 14, and then pass the optical fiber through the outer branch pipe 1 and the inner branch pipe 2, and then respectively sleeve the two outer sleeves 13 on the outside of the outer branch pipe 1 and the inner branch pipe 2, and insert and fix them through the fixing bolt 3 14, then sleeve the two clamps 19 on the outside of the outer sleeve 13, and fix them through the fastening bolts 22, so that the mounting hole 23 corresponds to the mounting hole 15, and fix them by inserting and fixing the bolts.

The elastic telescopic rod 16 is evenly distributed on the outside of the outer sleeve 13 in a circular shape, and the specifications and sizes of the two fixing bolts 14 are adapted to the specifications and sizes of the adjustment hole 3.
