Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to an optical cable processing technology, in particular to a grinding machine for optical cable production. Background Art
[0002] Optical fiber cables are manufactured to meet optical, mechanical, or environmental performance specifications. They utilize one or more optical fibers enclosed in a sheath as the transmission medium and can be used individually or in groups. Optical fiber cables primarily consist of optical fibers (hair-thin glass filaments) protected by a plastic sheath and outer plastic sheath. An optical fiber cable grinder is a device used to process optical fiber cables. Its primary purpose is to remove stains, scratches, and oxides from the cable surface to ensure smooth connection of the cable ends. This grinding effect is achieved by rotating the grinding head in contact with the cable surface.
[0003] Current optical cable grinders first position the end faces of multiple cables on a clamping plate, then secure the clamping plate above a grinding disc. Using sandpaper of varying grits on the grinding disc, the cable ends undergo multiple processing steps. This can easily cause uneven alignment of multiple cables, leading to missed cables and uneven processing quality. For these reasons, a grinder that can align multiple cables is necessary to prevent missed cables and improve grinding quality. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the present utility model is to provide a grinder for optical cable production, which can align multiple optical cables and avoid omission of polished optical cables, thereby improving the grinding quality of the grinder.
[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A grinding machine for optical cable production includes a machine body and a clamping plate. The top of the machine body is provided with multiple support columns for limiting the clamping plate. The clamping plate is provided with multiple limit seats. The inner side of the limit seat is provided with a limit plate. The outer side of the clamping plate is provided with a sliding seat. A detection plate is slidably provided on the sliding seat. The detection plate is provided with a strain gauge opposite to the limit seat, which is used for alignment detection of multiple grinded optical cable ends.
[0007] Preferably, the detection plate is distributed in parallel with the clamping plate, and the detection plate is located between a plurality of support columns.
[0008] Preferably, there are multiple groups of the limiting pieces, the lower ends of the limiting pieces are inclined outward, and the limiting pieces are made of silicone material.
[0009] Preferably, a plurality of positioning plates are provided on one side of the sliding seat close to the limiting seat, and a sliding groove for the detection plate to pass through is provided between the plurality of positioning plates.
[0010] Preferably, the positioning plate is made of plastic material.
[0011] Preferably, the number of the strain gauges is the same as that of the limit seats, pull rods are provided on both sides of the detection plate, and a data line is provided between the detection plate and the body.
[0012] Preferably, the body is provided with an LED detection light group connected to the detection board, and the LED detection light group includes indicator lights and LED lights provided on the body. The number of the LED lights is several and they are arranged in a matrix on the body.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the optical cable production grinder provided by the present invention can align and organize multiple optical cables, avoid uneven grinding quality of optical cables, and improve grinding quality. Specifically, by using multiple limit plates on the limit seat, it is convenient to add an elastic clamping structure in the limit seat, making it easier for the grinder to limit optical cables of different specifications for grinding. This increases the firmness of the connection between the optical cable and the clamping plate, avoids deviation and retraction of the optical cable during grinding, and provides favorable conditions for the grinder to grind multiple optical cables simultaneously.
[0014] And through the use of the sliding seat and the detection plate, the grinder can use the resistance changes of multiple strain gauges on the detection plate to detect the contact status of the optical cable and the strain gauge, and then transmit the information to the LED detection light group through the data line, so that the processor can intuitively grasp the position of the uneven optical cable according to the lighting status of the LED lights at the corresponding positions, avoid omission of the processed optical cable, and facilitate quick adjustment of the optical cable. There is no need to remove the splint for adjustment, which is beneficial for the simultaneous grinding of multiple optical cables by the grinder and improves the grinding quality of the grinder.

[0024] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure more clear, the embodiments of the present disclosure are described in more detail below in conjunction with the drawings of the embodiments. Note: The described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the described embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
[0025] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the utility model provides a grinder for optical cable production, wherein the grinder includes a body 1 and a clamping plate 2. The top of the body 1 is provided with a plurality of support columns 11 for limiting the clamping plate 2. When the grinder is in use, the plurality of support columns 11 are used to limit the clamping plate 2 at the top of the body 1. According to the number of optical cables to be grinded, a plurality of limit seats 21 are provided on the clamping plate 2 to fix the processing end of the optical cable; then, a plurality of limit plates 3 can be provided inside the limit seat 21. When different specifications of optical cables are used to limit When the seat 21 is fixed, multiple limit plates 3 can be attached to the end of the optical cable to supplement the gap between the optical cable and the limit seat 21, thereby increasing the connection firmness between the optical cable and the limit seat 21; then, a sliding seat 4 is provided on the outer side of the clamping plate 2, and a detection plate 5 parallel to the clamping plate 2 is slidably provided on the sliding seat 4, and a strain gauge 51 opposite to the limit seat 21 is provided on the detection plate 5. The characteristic that the resistance value of the strain gauge 51 changes after the optical cable contacts the strain gauge 51 is used to facilitate the grinder to detect the alignment status of multiple optical cable ends.
[0026] It is worth mentioning that, Figure 2As shown, when the detection plate 5 is used, it is set parallel to the side of the optical cable tail end of the clamping plate 2 through the sliding seat 4, and the multiple limited optical cable tail ends are aligned; and by setting the position of the detection plate 5 between multiple support columns 11, the size of the detection plate 5 can be limited, so that it can be flexibly slid between the sliding seats 4, which facilitates the detection plate 5 to move out of the clamping plate 2, and the contact between the grinding head on the body 1 and the optical cable tail end provides conditions and convenience for the grinding of the optical cable.
[0027] In order to better facilitate the limiting processing of optical cables of different lengths and specifications and the limiting seat 21, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, multiple limiting plates 3 can be set in the limiting seat 21. By using silicone material for the limiting plates 3 and tilting the lower end of the limiting plates 3 outward, it is convenient for multiple limiting plates 3 to rest against the outer surface of the optical cable end, and at the same time limit the inserted optical cable end, thereby increasing the connection firmness between the optical cable and the limiting seat 21, avoiding the optical cable line from shrinking during the grinding process, resulting in the optical cable end and the grinding head not fitting, thereby improving the grinding quality of the optical cable line.
[0028] In order to better facilitate the grinding of the ends of optical cables of different lengths, such as Figure 2 and 4 As shown, a plurality of positioning plates 41 are provided on one side of the sliding seat 4 close to the limit seat 21, and slide grooves are provided between the plurality of positioning plates 41 as gaps, so that the detection plate 5 can pass through the slide grooves at different positions, and the distance between the detection plate 5 and the clamping plate 2 can be changed to realize the grinding processing of the ends of optical cables of different lengths, facilitate the movement of the detection plate 5 in and out, and flexibly adjust the position of the detection plate 5.
[0029] In order to make it easier for the detection board 5 to slide in or out of the sliding seat 4, the positioning plate 41 can be made of plastic material. The elastic and insulating characteristics of the plastic can increase the safety of the detection board 5 and the convenience of removal, and reduce the impact of the movement of the detection board 5 on the optical cable.
[0030] It is worth mentioning that the strain gauges 51 will be provided with the same number as the limit seats 21, so that the end status of multiple optical cables can be detected simultaneously; when the detection plate 5 and the clamping plate 2 are installed, the pull rod 52 is used to facilitate the movement and removal of the detection plate 5; the working principle of the existing strain gauge 51 is applied, and the strain gauge 51 is also a resistance strain gauge 51, which is made based on the strain effect, that is, when the conductor or semiconductor material produces mechanical deformation under the action of external force, its resistance value changes accordingly. Therefore, when the optical cable is placed, the strain gauge 51 can detect whether the optical cable is in contact with its surface, and then transmit the detection data to the body 1 through the data line 53, so as to determine the neat distribution of multiple optical cable ends, and then the detection plate 5 is pulled out from the sliding seat 4, the position of the clamping plate 2 is adjusted, and the grinding disk of the body 1 is in contact with multiple optical cables, so that the grinder can grind multiple optical cables conveniently.
[0031] In order to more quickly detect the alignment status of multiple optical cables, such as Figure 1 As shown, an LED detection light group 6 connected to the detection board 5 can be provided on the body 1. When the LED detection light group 6 and the body 1 are in use, the data detected by the strain gauge 51 can be transmitted to the LED detection light group 6 by applying the setting of multiple strain gauges 51 on the detection board 5; the switch of the multiple LED lights 61 on the LED detection light group 6 can reflect the detection status of the strain gauge 51 accordingly, and also indirectly reflect whether the optical cable at the position of the strain gauge 51 is fitted with it, which provides convenience for the alignment of multiple optical cables, improves the grinding quality of multiple optical cable ends, and avoids omission of processed optical cables; in order to further facilitate the grinding of multiple optical cable ends by the grinder Grinding, to ensure the alignment of multiple optical cable ends and avoid missing optical cables, several LED lights 61 can be set in the LED detection light group 6, and the several LED lights 61 can be set into a matrix state. Before use, the processor can use the LED lights 61 on the LED detection light group 6 according to the position of the strain gauge 51 on the detection plate 5. The correspondence between the distribution state of multiple LED lights 61 and the distribution state of the strain gauge 51 is convenient for the user to intuitively grasp the position of the misaligned optical cable line, and the signal indication of the uneven optical cable line is performed by the indicator light 62, which is convenient for timely adjustment of the optical cable line to ensure the grinding quality, which is beneficial for the grinding of multiple optical cable ends.
[0032] Of course, the above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
