Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of optical fiber production winding mechanisms, specifically a winding mechanism for optical fiber production. Background Technology
[0002] Optical fiber, short for optical waveguide fiber, is a type of fiber made of glass or plastic used as a means of light transmission. The transmission principle is total internal reflection of light. The tiny optical fibers are encased in a plastic sheath, allowing them to bend without breaking. Typically, a light-emitting diode (LED) or a laser beam is used at one end of the fiber to transmit light pulses, while a photosensitive element is used at the other end to detect these pulses. In everyday life, because the transmission loss of light through optical fibers is much lower than that of electricity through wires, optical fibers are used for long-distance information transmission.
[0003] In the production process of optical fiber, optical fiber and copper wire are usually wound onto a take-up roller for convenient storage and transportation. However, existing winding mechanisms cannot easily remove the take-up roller during use, making it impossible to quickly replace the take-up roller or quickly unwound the wound optical fiber roll for subsequent winding and packaging, thus reducing production efficiency. Based on this, a winding mechanism for optical fiber production is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a winding mechanism for optical fiber production to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a winding mechanism for optical fiber production, comprising a mounting base, two support plates fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting base, hinges fixedly mounted on one side of the top of each of the two support plates, a magnetic cover fixedly mounted on the other end of each hinge, and support semi-rings fixedly mounted on opposite sides of the magnetic cover and the support plates. Several ball grooves are formed on the inner side of each support semi-ring, and movable balls are rotatably mounted on the inner side of each ball groove. A take-up roller is movably sleeved on the inner side of the support semi-ring and the movable balls. Limiting rings are fixedly sleeved on the outer sides of both ends of the take-up roller, and several sets of springs are fixedly mounted on the outer side of the middle part of the take-up roller. A limiting support is fixedly mounted on the end of each spring away from the take-up roller. The mounting base has two limiting plates fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting base. A reciprocating screw is movably mounted on the outer side of each end of the take-up roller. A driving gear meshes with the outer side of the driven gear. A take-up motor is driven to one side of the driving gear. A reciprocating screw is movably mounted on the opposite side of the two limiting plates through bearings. A reciprocating moving seat is movably sleeved on the outer side of the reciprocating screw. The reciprocating screw and the reciprocating moving seat are driven to each other. An elastic telescopic component is fixedly mounted on the top of the reciprocating moving seat. Two elastic limiting rollers are movably mounted on the top of the elastic telescopic component. A reciprocating motor is driven to one end of the reciprocating screw.
[0006] Preferably, the ball grooves are evenly distributed circumferentially on the inner side of the support semi-ring, and the two support semi-rings are combined to form a circular ring.
[0007] Preferably, the springs are evenly distributed in a circular linear pattern on the outer side of the take-up roller, and the limiting support plates are evenly distributed in a circular pattern on the outer side of the take-up roller.
[0008] Preferably, the dimensions of the limiting support plate and the spring are larger than the dimensions of the limiting ring, the limiting ring is located on both sides of the supporting half ring, the limiting rods are evenly distributed circumferentially on the outside of the clamp, and the clamp is located on the opposite side of the supporting half ring.
[0009] Preferably, the driven gear passes through the take-up roller and is fixed to the outside of the take-up roller by bolts, and the take-up motor is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting base.
[0010] Preferably, the reciprocating motor is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting base, and the reciprocating moving base is limited to linear motion by a slider and a groove.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: In use, the user passes the optical fiber to be wound through the elastic limiting roller and wraps it around the outside of the take-up roller and the limiting support plate. Then, the take-up motor and the reciprocating motor are started. When the take-up motor rotates, it drives the drive gear to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear to rotate, thereby causing the take-up roller to rotate and thus winding the optical fiber. The limiting ring limits the rotation position of the take-up roller, the movable ball contacts the outside of the take-up roller to provide rolling support, and the limiting rod limits the winding of the optical fiber. The spring and the limiting support plate... An elastic tension is applied to the fiber winding to ensure that the fiber is not loosened during winding. The reciprocating motor rotates, driving the reciprocating screw to rotate. The reciprocating screw applies reciprocating motion to the reciprocating moving seat, thereby driving the elastic telescopic component and the elastic limiting roller to move back and forth, so as to evenly wind and arrange the fiber. After winding, the operator opens the magnetic cover. The magnetic cover rotates under the support of the hinge, releasing the magnetic cover and the supporting half ring from limiting the winding roller. After the winding roller is taken out, the clamp is opened and removed. Finally, the fiber roll is unrolled from the outside of the limiting support plate. The whole is easy to disassemble and install, and it is easy to remove the fiber roll for use.
[0012] This invention uses a limiting support plate and a spring to support the winding of the optical fiber, applying a flexible tension in conjunction with reciprocating movement to limit the movement. This prevents the optical fiber from becoming loose during winding, limits the optical fiber to prevent it from sliding during winding, and applies force when unwinding to prevent the optical fiber roll from becoming loose and slipping off during tilting. This increases the shaping effect of the optical fiber winding and adds a stabilizing force. Attached Figure Description

[0019] 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.
[0020] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a winding mechanism for optical fiber production, including a mounting base 1. Two support plates 2 are fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting base 1. A hinge 18 is fixedly mounted on one side of the top of each of the two support plates 2. A magnetic cover 4 is fixedly mounted on the other end of the hinge 18. Support semi-rings 20 are fixedly mounted on opposite sides of the magnetic cover 4 and the support plates 2. Several ball grooves 22 are opened on the inner side of the support semi-rings 20. Movable balls 21 are rolled on the inner side of the ball grooves 22. A take-up roller 3 is movably sleeved on the inner side of the support semi-rings 20 and the movable balls 21. Limiting rings 5 are fixedly sleeved on the outer sides of both ends of the take-up roller 3. Several sets of springs 7 are fixedly mounted on the outer side of the middle part of the take-up roller 3. A limiting support plate 6 is fixedly mounted on the end of the spring 7 away from the take-up roller 3. Both ends are movably fitted with clamps 9, and several limiting rods 8 are fixedly installed on the outside of the clamps 9. A driven gear 10 is movably installed at one end of the take-up roller 3. A driving gear 19 meshes with the outside of the driven gear 10. A take-up motor 11 is driven and connected to one side of the driving gear 19. Two limiting plates 13 are fixedly installed on the top of the mounting base 1. A reciprocating screw 14 is movably installed through the opposite sides of the two limiting plates 13 via bearings. A reciprocating moving seat 15 is movably fitted on the outside of the reciprocating screw 14. The reciprocating screw 14 and the reciprocating moving seat 15 are driven and connected. An elastic telescopic component 16 is fixedly installed on the top of the reciprocating moving seat 15. Two elastic limiting rollers 17 are movably installed on the top of the elastic telescopic component 16. A reciprocating motor 12 is driven and connected to one end of the reciprocating screw 14.
[0021] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows: During use, the user passes the optical fiber to be wound through the elastic limiting roller 17 and wraps it around the outside of the take-up roller 3 and the limiting support plate 6. Then, the take-up motor 11 and the reciprocating motor 12 are started. When the take-up motor 11 rotates, it drives the drive gear 19 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear 10 to rotate, thereby causing the take-up roller 3 to rotate and thus wind up the optical fiber. The limiting ring 5 limits the rotation position of the take-up roller 3. The movable ball 21 contacts the outside of the take-up roller 3 to provide rolling support, while the limiting rod 8 limits the winding of the optical fiber. The elastic action of the spring 7 and the limiting support plate 6... Tension is applied to the fiber winding to ensure that the fiber winding is not loose. The reciprocating motor 12 rotates, driving the reciprocating screw 14 to rotate. The reciprocating screw 14 applies reciprocating motion to the reciprocating moving seat 15, thereby driving the elastic telescopic component 16 and the elastic limiting roller component 17 to move back and forth, so as to evenly wind and arrange the fiber. After winding, the operator opens the magnetic cover 4. The magnetic cover 4 rotates under the support of the hinge 18, releasing the magnetic cover 4 and the supporting half ring 20 from limiting the winding roller 3. After taking out the winding roller 3, the clamp 9 is opened and removed. Finally, the fiber roll is unrolled from the outside of the limiting support plate 6. The whole is easy to disassemble and install, and the fiber roll is easy to remove and use.
[0022] In another implementation scheme, such as Figures 3-5 As shown, the ball grooves 22 are evenly distributed in a circular pattern on the inner side of the support half-ring 20, and the two support half-rings 20 are combined to form a ring.
[0023] The ball groove 22 and the movable ball 21 are evenly distributed, which facilitates the application of rolling support to the take-up roller 3, reduces the friction of the take-up roller 3, increases the rotational stability of the take-up roller 3, and facilitates stable operation of the structure.
[0024] In another implementation scheme, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the springs 7 are evenly distributed in a circular linear pattern on the outside of the take-up roller 3, and the limiting support plates 6 are evenly distributed in a circular pattern on the outside of the take-up roller 3.
[0025] By using the limiting support plate 6 and the spring 7 for winding support, a flexible tension is applied to the winding optical fiber in conjunction with the reciprocating movement limit, which avoids the loosening of the optical fiber during winding and limits the optical fiber to prevent it from sliding during winding. It also applies force when unwinding to prevent the optical fiber roll from loosening and slipping during tilting, thereby increasing the shaping effect of optical fiber winding and increasing the stabilizing force.
[0026] In another implementation scheme, such as Figures 1-5As shown, the dimensions of the limiting support plate 6 and the spring 7 are larger than the dimensions of the limiting ring 5. The limiting ring 5 is located on both sides of the supporting half ring 20. The limiting rod frame 8 is evenly distributed in a circle on the outside of the clamp 9. The clamp 9 is located on the opposite side of the supporting half ring 20.
[0027] After the limiting support plate 6 and the spring 7 are compressed, multiple limiting support plates 6 come into contact with each other. The thickness of this plate is greater than that of the limiting ring 5, which makes it easier for the fiber optic roll to be unblocked when it is unwound, thus facilitating coordinated operation. The limiting rod 8 and the clamp 9 limit the two ends of the fiber optic roll, which helps to increase the relative stability of the winding.
[0028] In another implementation scheme, such as Figures 2-5 As shown, the driven gear 10 passes through the take-up roller 3 by bolts and is fixed to the outside of the take-up roller 3, and the take-up motor 11 is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting base 1.
[0029] Driven gear 10 is threaded through itself and extends into the inside of take-up roller 3 by bolt thread, so that driven gear 10 is fixed on the outside of take-up roller 3, avoiding disassembly and assembly, and facilitating transmission. After the take-up motor 11 is fixed, it is easy to drive the structure to operate.
[0030] In another implementation scheme, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the reciprocating motor 12 is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting base 1, and the reciprocating moving base 15 is limited to linear motion by the slider and the slide groove.
[0031] After the reciprocating motor 12 is fixed, it can easily drive the reciprocating lead screw 14 to rotate. The reciprocating moving seat 15 is subjected to the linear reciprocating force of the reciprocating lead screw 14. Through the slider fixedly installed at the bottom of the reciprocating moving seat 15 and the slide groove opened at the top of the mounting seat 1, the slider is slidably installed in the slide groove, thereby providing bottom support for the reciprocating moving seat 15, increasing the reciprocating limiting stability of the reciprocating moving seat 15, and increasing the load-bearing capacity of the reciprocating moving seat 15. This facilitates the installation and stress of the elastic telescopic component 16 and the elastic limiting roller component 17, and increases the relative stability of the structure.
[0032] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
