Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical fiber cable assembly technology, specifically to an optical fiber connector assembly device. Background Technology

[0002] In fiber optic communication systems, the connection between fiber optic cables and connectors is a crucial step in ensuring signal transmission quality. Traditionally, the assembly of fiber optic cables and connectors has relied on manual operation, which is not only inefficient but also makes it difficult to guarantee the accuracy and consistency of each crimp. With the rapid development of fiber optic communication technology, higher demands are being placed on the quality, speed, and automation of fiber optic connector assembly.

[0003] To improve the efficiency and quality of fiber optic connector assembly, automated fiber optic connector assembly equipment has emerged on the market. This equipment typically includes a cable placement platform, cable securing devices, and a crimping mechanism. During operation, the fiber optic cable is first secured in the cable securing device on the cable placement platform, and then the crimping mechanism crimps the fiber optic connector onto the cable.

[0004] While existing automated fiber optic connector assembly equipment has improved assembly efficiency to some extent, it still has some technical shortcomings. For example, the cable fixing devices in some equipment are not designed reasonably enough to effectively restrict the movement of fiber optic cables, causing the cables to easily shift or loosen during crimping, thus affecting the crimping quality. In addition, the connector conveying and crimping mechanisms in some equipment are not designed to be flexible and precise enough, making it difficult to achieve fast and accurate connection and crimping of connectors and cables. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model addresses the technical problems existing in the prior art by providing an optical fiber connector assembly device to solve the problems of low efficiency and easy misalignment or loosening of the existing devices.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: A fiber optic connector assembly device for crimping fiber optic cables and connectors, including a cable placement platform, a cable fixing seat provided on the cable placement platform; a crimping seat facing the cable in the cable fixing seat, the crimping seat having a reserved connector conveying channel; a loading platform located at the inlet of the connector conveying channel is mounted on the cable placement platform, and a pushing mechanism for pushing the fiber optic connectors on the loading platform to the connector conveying channel and crimping them to the cable.

[0007] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.

[0008] Furthermore, a feeding bridge for continuous conveying of the joint is provided on one side of the loading platform.

[0009] Further, the cable fixing seat is internally provided with a conical limiting groove, which is matched with a conical positioning part externally reserved to the cable.

[0010] Further, the front end of the conical positioning part externally reserved to the cable is further provided with a clamping block with a size greater than the slot opening of the conical limiting groove.

[0011] Further, the pushing mechanism comprises:

[0012] a push rod opposite to the joint conveying channel;

[0013] a pushing seat connected with the push rod;

[0014] a linear guide rail in sliding cooperation with the pushing seat;

[0015] a pushing cylinder for driving the pushing seat.

[0016] Further, the cable placing table is further provided with a cable fixing assembly located at the rear of the cable fixing seat; the cable fixing assembly comprises oppositely arranged fixed clamping blocks and movable clamping blocks, and a spring for driving the movable clamping blocks to be close to or away from the fixed clamping blocks; a cable clamping groove is reserved between the fixed clamping blocks and the movable clamping blocks.

[0017] Moreover, the optical fiber joint assembling equipment provided by the utility model has at least the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:

[0018] The continuous conveying function of the feeding bridge ensures the stable supply of the optical fiber joint, reduces the tediousness and time consumption of manual feeding. The perfect matching of the conical limiting groove and the clamping block effectively prevents the shaking and deviation of the cable during the crimping process, and ensures the accuracy of each crimping. At the same time, the pushing mechanism realizes the rapid and accurate pushing of the optical fiber joint by the synergistic effect of the pushing cylinder and the linear guide rail, further improves the assembling efficiency and the quality of finished products.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The principles and characteristics of the present application are described below in combination with the drawings, and the examples are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the scope of the present application.

[0026] It should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "mounting", "connection", and "connection" should be broadly understood, for example, it can be fixed connection, or it can be detachable connection, or it can be an integral structure. For ordinary skilled in the art, the specific meaning of such terms in this patent can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0027] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the utility design is a fiber joint assembly equipment for crimping fiber cable and joint, which comprises a cable placement table 1, and a cable fixing seat 2 is arranged on the cable placement table 1; The cable placement table 1 is also provided with a pressing seat 3 opposite to the cable in the cable fixing seat 2, and a joint conveying channel is reserved in the pressing seat 3; The feeding table 4 is arranged at the joint conveying channel inlet, and the pushing mechanism 5 is used to push the fiber joint on the feeding table 4 to the joint conveying channel and crimp it to the cable.

[0028] The equipment mainly takes the cable placement table 1 as the core, which is equipped with the cable fixing seat 2 for stabilizing the fiber cable. The corresponding position of the cable placement table 1 is provided with the pressing seat 3, and the joint conveying channel is reserved in the pressing seat 3, so as to facilitate the conveying and crimping of the fiber joint. The feeding table 4 is arranged at the joint conveying channel inlet, and is responsible for the preposition of the fiber joint. The key component pushing mechanism 5 is responsible for accurately pushing the fiber joint on the feeding table 4 to the joint conveying channel, and finally crimping it to the fixed fiber cable. Through the cooperative work of these components, the rapid and accurate assembly of the fiber cable and the joint is realized.

[0029] As an embodiment, the feeding bridge 6 for continuously conveying the joint is arranged on one side of the feeding table 4.

[0030] The cable fixing seat 2 is internally provided with a conical limiting groove 2.1, which is matched with the conical positioning part 100 externally reserved to the cable.

[0031] The front end of the conical positioning part 100 externally reserved to the cable is further provided with a clamping block 101 with a size greater than the slot of the conical limiting groove 2.1.

[0032] Firstly, a feeding bridge 6 is additionally arranged on one side of the feeding table 4, which realizes the continuous and automatic conveying of the fiber joint and greatly improves the assembly efficiency. The feeding bridge 6 is like a bridge, continuously conveying the fiber joint to the feeding table 4, providing a stable joint source for the subsequent crimping work.

[0033] Meanwhile, the conical limiting groove 2.1 is ingeniously designed in the cable fixing seat 2. This conical structure can perfectly match the conical positioning part 100 externally reserved to the fiber cable, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the fiber cable during the crimping process. The taper design of the conical limiting groove 2.1 allows the cable to be easily inserted and fixed, while effectively preventing the cable from shaking or deviating during the crimping process.

[0034] In addition, the front end of the conical positioning part 100 is additionally provided with a clamping block 101 with a size greater than the slot of the conical limiting groove 2.1. This design not only further enhances the stability of the cable in the fixing seat, but also plays a limiting and anti-falling role. When the cable is completely inserted into the conical limiting groove 2.1, the clamping block 101 will be clamped outside the slot, forming an additional safety barrier to ensure that the cable will not accidentally fall out during the crimping process due to external force.

[0035] As an embodiment, the pushing mechanism 5 comprises:

[0036] A push rod 5.1 opposite to the joint conveying channel;

[0037] A pushing seat 5.2 connected with the push rod 5.1;

[0038] A linear guide rail 5.3 in sliding cooperation with the pushing seat 5.2;

[0039] A pushing cylinder 5.4 for driving the pushing seat 5.2.

[0040] The working principle of the pushing mechanism 5 can be summarized as follows: through the power provided by the pushing cylinder 5.4, the pushing seat 5.2 connected with the pushing rod 5.1 is driven to slide along the linear guide rail 5.3. The pushing rod 5.1, as a direct acting component, is opposite to the joint conveying channel, and is responsible for accurately pushing the fiber joint on the feeding table 4 into the channel, and finally being crimped with the fiber cable which has been fixed in the cable fixing seat 2. The entire pushing process relies on the guiding action of the linear guide rail 5.3 to ensure the linearity and accuracy of the pushing, thereby realizing the efficient and stable assembly of the fiber joint and the cable.

[0041] As an embodiment, the cable placing table 1 is further provided with a cable fixing assembly 7 located behind the cable fixing seat 2; the cable fixing assembly 7 comprises oppositely arranged fixed clamping blocks 7.1 and movable clamping blocks 7.2, and a spring 7.3 for driving the movable clamping blocks 7.2 to approach or move away from the fixed clamping blocks 7.1; a cable clamping groove is reserved between the fixed clamping blocks 7.1 and the movable clamping blocks 7.2.

[0042] Through the oppositely arranged fixed clamping blocks 7.1 and movable clamping blocks 7.2, and the spring 7.3 for driving the movable clamping blocks 7.2, an elastic clamping mechanism is formed. When the fiber cable is placed in the cable clamping groove between the fixed clamping blocks 7.1 and the movable clamping blocks 7.2, the elastic force of the spring 7.3 will push the movable clamping blocks 7.2 to approach the fixed clamping blocks 7.1, thereby generating a clamping force on the cable to realize the stable fixation of the cable. This design is not only simple and easy to implement, but also can adapt to fiber cables of different diameters, thereby improving the universality and practicality of the equipment. At the same time, the elasticity of the spring 7.3 can also relieve the impact force generated during the crimping process to a certain extent, thereby protecting the cable from damage.
