Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical fiber production technology, specifically to a cutting device for optical fiber production. Background Technology

[0002] Optical fiber is short for optical waveguide fiber. It is a fiber made of glass or plastic that can be used as a light transmission tool. The tiny optical fiber is encapsulated in a plastic sheath, which allows it to bend without breaking.

[0003] According to publication number CN213865958U, this invention relates to a rapid cutting device for optical fiber production. A housing is fixed at the middle position above the worktable, and a support is located at the middle position above the housing. Support end caps are symmetrically rotatably connected to both sides of the support. A base plate is located at the middle position inside the housing, and a cutting groove is formed at the middle position above the base plate. A cutting cylinder is inserted and installed at the center position of the top of the support. This invention, through an optical fiber clamping mechanism, allows adjustment of the clamping force of two optical fiber clamping plates on optical fibers of different diameters, preventing damage to small-diameter fibers or insufficient clamping force on large-diameter fibers. Through an optical fiber transmission mechanism, optical fibers of different diameters can be transmitted, and the transmission length of the optical fiber can be controlled, improving cutting accuracy and significantly increasing cutting efficiency.

[0004] Based on the search of the aforementioned patents and the findings of existing equipment, while the aforementioned equipment can solve the problem that the device cannot adjust the height of the fiber optic clamping plate, thus preventing the adjustment of the clamping force on the fiber optic cable, and that excessive clamping force can easily damage smaller diameter fibers, while insufficient clamping force cannot provide reliable clamping force for larger diameter fibers, the device still suffers from several drawbacks. Firstly, the device relies on manual placement of the fiber under the cleaver, which results in low cutting efficiency and poor control over the cutting length, reducing cutting precision. Secondly, the device lacks a feeding and splicing structure, which can easily lead to fiber tangling during feeding, reducing feeding efficiency, and can also cause the cut fibers to become tangled and difficult to collect during splicing, further reducing cutting efficiency.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present invention provides a cutting device for optical fiber production, including a workbench 1, a support column 2, a controller 3, a cutting device body 4, and an optical fiber support plate 5. The support column 2 is fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom of the workbench 1, the controller 3 is fixedly installed on the front side of the top of the workbench 1, the cutting device body 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the workbench 1, the optical fiber support plate 5 is fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the workbench 1, a feeding rack 6 is fixedly installed on the left side of both the front and back sides of the workbench 1, a feeding mechanism 7 is movably installed on the inner side of the feeding rack 6, a discharging rack 8 is fixedly installed on the right side of the back of the workbench 1, and a receiving mechanism 9 is fixedly installed on the front of the discharging rack 8.

[0023] refer to Figure 1 The feeding mechanism 7 includes a limiting disc 701, which is movably installed on the inner side of the feeding rack 6. A feeding rod 702 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the limiting disc 701, and a locking component 703 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the surface of the feeding rod 702.

[0024] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting up a feeding mechanism 7, it is convenient for users to pass the optical fiber through the locking component and then rotate the limiting disk 701 so that the limiting disk 701 continuously winds the optical fiber through the feeding rod 702. This makes it convenient for users to feed the optical fiber by pulling the other end of the optical fiber, thus avoiding the situation of the optical fiber getting tangled.

[0025] refer to Figure 3 The locking component 703 includes a locking block 7031, which is fixedly installed on the rear side of the surface of the feeding rod 702. The locking block 7031 has a locking hole 7032 inside, and a threaded hole 7033 is provided on the front side of the locking hole 7032. A pressing component 7034 is threadedly connected inside the threaded hole 7033.

[0026] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting a locking component 703, it is convenient for the user to first insert one end of the optical fiber into the locking hole 7032, and then press one end of the optical fiber by the pressing component 7034. After that, by rotating the limiting disk 701, the limiting disk 701 drives the feeding rod 702 to wind the optical fiber, which facilitates subsequent feeding and avoids knotting during feeding.

[0027] refer to Figure 3The clamping component 7034 includes a threaded rod 70341, which is threadedly connected to the inside of a threaded hole 7033. A rotating rod 70342 is fixedly installed on the front side of the threaded rod 70341, and a rubber clamping plate 70343 is fixedly installed on the back side of the threaded rod 70341.

[0028] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting up a clamping component 7034, the user can easily rotate the rotating rod 70342, causing the rotating rod 70342 to drive the threaded rod 70341 to rotate, so that the threaded rod 70341 can rotate and move through the threaded hole 7033, thereby driving the rubber clamping plate 70343 to clamp one end of the optical fiber, preventing the optical fiber from falling off and ensuring the stability of the optical fiber winding.

[0029] refer to Figure 1 The receiving mechanism 9 includes a fixed plate 901, which is fixedly installed on the front of the unloading rack 8. A fixed rod 902 is fixedly installed on the front of the fixed plate 901, and a receiving component 903 is slidably connected to the surface of the fixed rod 902.

[0030] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting up a receiving mechanism 9, the fixing plate 901 fixes the fixing rod 902, so that the fixing rod 902 can continuously collect the cut optical fiber through the receiving component 903, thereby achieving the receiving effect.

[0031] refer to Figure 1 The receiving assembly 903 includes a receiving tray 9031, which is slidably connected to the surface of the fixed rod 902. Several receiving trays 9031 are provided and are distributed at equal intervals. A lever 9032 is fixedly installed on the left side of the receiving tray 9031.

[0032] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the receiving component 903 enables several receiving trays 9031 to adapt to optical fibers of different lengths after cutting. This allows the user to rotate the receiving trays 9031 using the lever 9032, so that the receiving trays 9031 can wrap the cut optical fibers, making it easier for the user to collect them.

[0033] refer to Figure 1 The lever 9032 has several levers that are evenly distributed.

[0034] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting several levers 9032, the user can better rotate the receiving tray 9031 by using several levers 9032, thus ensuring the convenience of receiving tray 9031 for fiber optic splicing.

[0035] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: In use, the workbench 1, support column 2, controller 3, cutting device body 4, and fiber optic tray 5 are assembled. The cutting device body 4 is existing technology, and its structure and working principle are the same as those of a rapid cutting device for optical fiber production in the prior art (publication number: CN213865958U), so it will not be described again here. When cutting is required, to avoid knotting of excessively long optical fibers during loading, one end of the optical fiber can be first inserted into the locking hole 7032 inside the locking block 7031. By turning the rotating rod 70342, the rotating rod 70342 drives the threaded rod 70341 to rotate, causing the threaded rod 70341 to rotate and move inward through the threaded hole 7033, thereby driving the rubber clamping plate 70... 343 clamps one end of the optical fiber, and then rotates the limiting disc 701, causing the limiting disc 701 to wind the optical fiber through the feeding rod 702, so that the optical fiber is continuously wound. When cutting is required, the other end of the optical fiber is pulled, so that the optical fiber follows the rotation of the feeding rod 702 and the limiting disc 701 to lengthen, avoiding knotting. After cutting, when it is necessary to collect optical fibers of different lengths, the fixing rod 902 fixed on the surface of the fixing disc 901 can be selected according to the length, so that several receiving discs 9031 slidably installed on the surface of the fixing rod 902 can continuously collect the optical fiber. At the same time, it is convenient for the user to rotate the lever 9032 to drive the receiving disc 9031 to rotate and collect the cut optical fiber, thereby achieving the effect of assisting feeding and receiving.

[0036] In summary, this fiber optic cutting device, by setting up a feeding structure and a splicing mechanism 9, facilitates the user to feed the fiber optic cable through the feeding mechanism 7. After cutting, the splicing mechanism 9 splices the cut fiber optic cable, thereby achieving the effect of assisting feeding and splicing. This solves the problems that the device lacks feeding and splicing structures, which easily leads to fiber optic cable knots during feeding, reducing feeding efficiency, and easily causes the cut fiber optic cable to become tangled and difficult to collect during splicing, thus reducing cutting efficiency.
