Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fiber optic coupler technology, specifically to a fiber optic coupler. Background Technology

[0002] Fiber optic coupling refers to the process of efficiently transmitting optical signals from one optical fiber to another. This process typically involves precise alignment between the end faces of two or more optical fibers to ensure that optical signals can be coupled from one fiber to another to the maximum extent possible, while keeping the intensity, direction, polarization, and other characteristics of the optical signals unchanged or changing as little as possible. Fiber optic coupling is a key technology in fields such as fiber optic communication, fiber optic sensing, and fiber optic measurement. In fiber optic communication systems, fiber optic couplers are often used to connect different fiber segments and build complex fiber optic networks. They can also be used to calibrate the performance of fiber optic equipment and ensure the transmission quality of optical signals.

[0003] There are several ways to achieve fiber optic coupling, including direct docking, coupling using fiber optic couplers and lenses. Direct docking is the simplest method. However, when existing fibers are docked, dust remains at the interface. If not cleaned in time, the dust remaining on the fiber docking surface can easily affect the lifespan of the fiber. Existing fiber optic couplers dock in a semi-manual manner, which can lead to inaccurate alignment. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides an optical fiber coupler that uses a blower to blow air through a transmission pipe and nozzle to clean dust from the fiber optic connector, thereby improving the fiber's lifespan and reducing fiber loss and replacement costs caused by contamination. An electric telescopic clamping rod pushes a first clamping plate and a second clamping plate to fix the connectors of the two optical fibers. Through a limiting mechanism, a fixed motor drives one of the synchronous pulleys to rotate, and a synchronous belt drives the other synchronous pulley to rotate a bidirectional threaded rod. The limiting rod then moves the two moving blocks closer together, allowing the connectors of the two optical fibers to be quickly aligned, reducing alignment errors caused by human factors.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an optical fiber coupler, comprising: a fixed frame; a docking mechanism, the docking mechanism including an adjusting component, two sets of clamping components, two first clamping plates and two second clamping plates, the adjusting component being disposed on the fixed frame, each set of clamping components being disposed on the adjusting component, and the two first clamping plates and two second clamping plates being disposed on the two sets of clamping components respectively; a limiting mechanism, the limiting mechanism comprising two sets, each set of the limiting mechanism being disposed on the fixed frame; and a cleaning mechanism, the cleaning mechanism including a pushing component and a blowing component, the pushing component being disposed on the fixed frame, and the blowing component being disposed on the pushing component.

One of the synchronous pulleys is fixedly sleeved on the output end of the fixed motor, and the other synchronous pulley is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the bidirectional threaded rod. The two synchronous pulleys mesh with each other.

[0007] Furthermore, each set of clamping components includes a movable block, two support plates, and two clamping electric telescopic rods. The movable block is threaded onto the outer surface of the bidirectional threaded rod and slidably sleeved between the two limiting rods. One side of each support plate is fixedly connected to one side of the outer surface of the movable block, and one end of each clamping electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to one side of the outer surface of the support plate. One side of the outer surface of each first clamping plate and each second clamping plate is fixedly connected to the extended end of the clamping electric telescopic rod.
