Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of optical fiber coating device, specifically an optical fiber coating device. Background Technology

[0002] Optical communication is a communication method that uses light as an information carrier to transmit information. Fiber optic array substrates are key components used in optical communication for the precise arrangement and fixation of optical fibers. Fiber optic coating equipment is a device specifically used to coat optical fibers or fiber optic components with adhesive. In the production process of fiber optic array substrates, fiber optic coating equipment is also used to coat the fiber slots of the fiber optic array substrate with adhesive to fix the optical fibers.

[0003] However, existing fiber optic array substrates lack a structure for fixing and limiting the fiber optic array substrate during the adhesive coating process. This can lead to displacement of the array substrate during the adhesive coating process, resulting in gaps between adjacent array substrates. This allows adhesive to enter the gaps and cause the two array substrates to stick together, affecting subsequent processes. In addition, existing adhesive coating devices may experience uneven adhesive coating during use, affecting the coating quality. Therefore, a fiber optic adhesive coating device is proposed.

[0008] Furthermore, a control panel is provided on the front of the U-shaped base, a movable groove is provided at the bottom of the U-shaped base, the top of the clamping plate penetrates through the bottom of the movable groove and extends into the interior of the U-shaped base, a rubber plate is fixedly installed on the left side of the clamping plate, and an optical fiber groove is provided on the top of the optical fiber array substrate.

[0009] Furthermore, the front of the bidirectional threaded rod penetrates the inner wall of the U-shaped seat and is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor. There are two moving blocks, and the interior of each of the two moving blocks is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the bidirectional threaded rod.

[0012] Beneficial effects

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. This fiber optic coating device arranges the fiber array substrates sequentially close to the right side of the baffle, then aligns its left side with the right side of the baffle. The drive motor is then activated to rotate the bidirectional threaded rod, which in turn moves the moving block and the limiting plate. The two limiting plates clamp and fix the fiber array substrates on both sides, and the limiting rod ensures horizontal movement of the limiting plates.

[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-6An optical fiber coating device includes a U-shaped base 1, an optical fiber array substrate 2 movably connected to the inner bottom wall of the U-shaped base 1, an adjustment and fixing structure 3 provided on the outside of the U-shaped base 1, and a coating structure 4 provided inside the U-shaped base 1.

[0025] The adjusting and fixing structure 3 includes a telescopic rod 301. The telescopic rod 301 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the U-shaped seat 1. A clamping plate 302 is fixedly installed on the right side of the telescopic rod 301. A bidirectional threaded rod 303 is rotatably connected inside the U-shaped seat 1. A drive motor 304 is fixedly installed on the front of the bidirectional threaded rod 303. A moving block 305 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the bidirectional threaded rod 303. A limiting plate 306 is fixedly installed on the top of the moving block 305. A limiting rod 307 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the limiting plate 306. A baffle 308 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the U-shaped seat 1.

[0026] Furthermore, the adhesive application structure 4 includes an electric slide rail 401. The electric slide rail 401 is fixedly installed inside the U-shaped base 1. A slider 402 is movably connected to the outer surface of the electric slide rail 401. A connecting plate 403 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the slider 402. An adhesive application box 404 is fixedly installed inside the connecting plate 403. A feeding pipe 405 is fixedly installed at the top of the adhesive application box 404. A scraper 406 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting plate 403. A triangular block 407 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the scraper 406.

[0027] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, control panel 5 is electrically connected to all powered equipment within the device. Control panel 5 sends control commands to each component via control signal lines. These signal lines can be analog signal lines such as 4-20mA current signals, digital signal lines such as RS485 communication interfaces, or simple switch signal lines. The control signals sent by control panel 5 are transmitted to the control units of each component via signal lines. The start and stop operations of each component can be realized through the buttons or touch screen interface on control panel 5. After receiving a start command, the controller will send corresponding control signals to each component to start them. When a stop command is received, a stop signal is sent to stop each component from working. The operating parameters of each component can be set on the interface of control panel 5. These parameter settings will be converted into corresponding control signals and sent to the control units of each component, thereby realizing precise adjustment of the operating status of the components. Control panel 5 has the function of monitoring the operating status of each component and can display the operating parameters and status information of each component in real time.

[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 4As shown, drive motor 304 is a forward and reverse motor. A forward and reverse motor is a motor that can achieve forward and reverse rotation. The working principle of a forward and reverse motor is based on changing the phase sequence of the motor power supply to change the direction of rotation. In a three-phase asynchronous motor, the direction of rotation of the motor can be changed by swapping any two phases. This operation is called commutation, which allows the motor to run in different directions as needed.

[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the working principle of the electric slide rail 401 is based on a mechanical structure driven by an electric motor. The slide rail moves through power supply and control signals. Specifically, when the power is turned on, the electric motor starts to work, converting electrical energy into mechanical energy. The power of the electric motor is transmitted to the slide rail through the transmission mechanism, causing the slide rail to start linear motion. The control system controls the speed and direction of the electric motor according to the input control signals, thereby achieving precise control of the slide rail movement. At the same time, the limit device and safety protection device ensure that the slide rail moves within a safe range, avoiding damage and accidents.

[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the telescopic rod 301 mainly consists of a motor, a reducer, a telescopic rod body, a control system, guide components, and limit switches. When the motor is powered on, it generates driving torque, which converts high-speed rotation into low-speed, high-torque rotational motion through the reducer. The output shaft of the reducer is connected to the inner or outer tube of the telescopic rod 301. When the output shaft of the reducer rotates, the rotational motion is converted into linear motion of the telescopic rod 301 through a screw pair or other transmission mechanism. The control system adjusts the speed and direction of the motor according to preset parameters, thereby controlling the speed and direction of the telescopic rod 301. When the telescopic rod 301 reaches the preset position, the limit switch sends a signal, and the control system stops the motor, thereby achieving precise positioning of the telescopic rod 301.

[0031] When implementing this procedure, please follow these steps:

[0032] 1) First, place the fiber array substrate 2 in sequence with the baffle 308, and open the telescopic rod 301 to cooperate with the clamping plate 302 for initial positioning and fixation;

[0033] 2) Then turn on the drive motor 304 to drive the bidirectional threaded rod 303 to rotate, and cooperate with the moving block 305 and the limiting plate 306 to perform secondary clamping and fixing;

[0034] 3) Then, the adhesive material is fed into the adhesive box 404 through the feeding pipe 405 and the electric slide rail 401 is turned on to drive the slider 402 and the connecting plate 403 to move.

[0035] 4) Finally, the adhesive material is discharged through the valve outlet pipe, and the scraper 406 and the triangular block 407 move back and forth to ensure uniform adhesive application.

[0036] In summary, this fiber optic coating device arranges the fiber array substrate 2 sequentially near the right side of the baffle 308, then aligns its left side with the right side of the baffle 308. The drive motor 304 is then activated to rotate the bidirectional threaded rod 303, which in turn moves the moving block 305 and the limiting plate 306. The two limiting plates 306 clamp and fix the fiber array substrate 2 on both sides, and the limiting rod 307 ensures the horizontal movement of the limiting plates 306. Then, the telescopic rod 301 is opened, causing the clamping plate 302 to move to the left, thus clamping and fixing the substrate on both sides in conjunction with the baffle 308. To achieve the purpose of limiting and fixing the fiber array substrate 2, the adhesive material is temporarily stored inside the adhesive box 404 through the feeding pipe 405. Then, the electric slide rail 401 is opened to drive the slider 402 to move along the outer surface of the auxiliary rod. During the movement of the slider 402, the connecting plate 403 and the structure on it will move. During the movement, the valve discharge pipe is opened to drip the adhesive material onto the fiber array substrate 2. The scraper 406 moves back and forth to scrape the glue on the top into the fiber groove of the fiber array substrate 2. The triangular block 407 scrapes the glue off its outer surface, thereby achieving the purpose of uniform adhesive application.
