Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical fiber take-up technology, specifically to an optical fiber anti-bending take-up tool. Background Technology

[0002] Optical fiber, short for optical waveguide fiber, is a type of fiber made of glass or plastic that serves as a light transmission tool. The outer surface of optical fibers is typically coated with rubber. After production, optical fibers are usually wound onto a reel for transport and storage. Currently, existing optical fiber winding equipment is prone to causing the fiber to bend during the winding process. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model provides a fiber optic cable winding tool to prevent bending, aiming to solve the problems in the prior art.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0005] A fiber optic take-up tool for preventing bending includes a bracket, a take-up drum, and an anti-bending mechanism. The take-up drum is horizontally mounted on the bracket and can rotate horizontally about its own axis. The anti-bending mechanism is mounted on the bracket and is located on one side of the take-up drum. The anti-bending mechanism is used to clamp the fiber to be taken up and drive the fiber to move horizontally on the bracket along the axis of the take-up drum.

[0006] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: during use, the optical fiber is taken up by rotating the take-up drum in a way that can be conceived by those skilled in the art; during this process, the anti-bending mechanism can effectively prevent the optical fiber from bending, ensuring the quality of optical fiber take-up.

[0007] This utility model has a simple structure and reasonable design, which can realize automatic fiber optic cable take-up and effectively prevent fiber optic cable bending, thus ensuring the quality of fiber optic cable take-up.

[0008] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.

[0009] Furthermore, the anti-bending mechanism includes a drive assembly and two clamping blocks, which are arranged vertically opposite each other to clamp the optical fiber to be taken up; the drive assembly is mounted on the bracket and is connected to the two clamping blocks respectively, for driving the two clamping blocks to move horizontally reciprocally along the axial direction of the take-up drum.

[0010] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that during use, the two clamping blocks are driven to move horizontally back and forth along the axial direction of the take-up drum by the drive component, so that the optical fiber is stored in various parts of the take-up drum and the optical fiber is not concentrated in the same part of the take-up drum.

[0011] Furthermore, the two clamping blocks are provided with arc-shaped grooves on opposite sides for clamping the optical fiber to be retrieved.

[0012] The advantages of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are that the structure is simple and the design is reasonable. The arc grooves set on the two clamping blocks can further clamp the optical fiber and prevent the optical fiber from slipping off the two clamping blocks.

[0013] It should be noted that the two clamping blocks mentioned above will not hold the optical fiber in place or affect the fiber take-up. The optical fiber can slide within the two clamping blocks under the action of the take-up drum.

[0014] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a motor, a lead screw, and a guide rod. The lead screw and the guide rod are mounted vertically opposite each other on the bracket and extend horizontally along the axial direction of the take-up drum. Two clamping blocks are located between the lead screw and the guide rod. One end of one clamping block is connected to a nut on the lead screw, and one end of the other clamping block is slidably connected to the guide rod. The motor is fixedly mounted on the bracket, and its drive end is fixedly connected to one end of the lead screw.

[0015] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that, in use, the motor drives the lead screw to rotate, and the lead screw converts its own rotation into the linear movement of the nut and the corresponding clamping block; at the same time, the friction between the two clamping blocks and the optical fiber can be used to make the other clamping block move along the guide rod, thereby realizing the synchronous movement of the two clamping blocks.

[0016] Furthermore, one of the clamping blocks has its other ends fixedly connected to one end of each of the two sliding rods, and the other clamping block has sliding holes on both sides. The other ends of the two sliding rods are inserted into the two sliding holes and slidably connected.

[0017] The advantages of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are that the structure is simple and the design is reasonable. The two slide rods can realize the connection between the two clamping blocks, thereby further ensuring the synchronous movement of the two clamping blocks.

[0018] Furthermore, a slider is slidably sleeved on the guide rod, and one end of each of the two clamping blocks is connected to the slider and the nut respectively through an elastic element.

[0019] The advantages of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are that the structure is simple and the design is reasonable. The slider can realize the sliding of the corresponding clamping block on the guide rod. At the same time, the two clamping blocks are connected to the slider and the nut respectively by elastic elements, so as to be suitable for clamping optical fibers of different specifications.

[0020] Furthermore, each of the two elastic elements includes multiple springs, one end of each of the multiple springs in the two elastic elements is fixedly connected to one end of each of the two clamping blocks, and the other end is fixedly connected to the slider or the nut respectively.

[0021] The advantages of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are that the structure is simple and the design is reasonable. The slider can be used to realize the sliding of the corresponding clamping block on the guide rod. At the same time, the two clamping blocks are connected to the slider and nut respectively by springs, so as to be suitable for clamping optical fibers of different specifications.

[0022] Furthermore, the plurality of springs in each of the elastic elements are arranged horizontally side by side.

[0023] The advantages of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are that the structure is simple, the multiple springs are reasonably distributed, and the stability of the two clamping blocks is guaranteed.

[0024] Furthermore, a second motor is also fixedly installed on the bracket. The driving end of the second motor extends along the axial direction of the take-up drum and is fixedly connected to the center of one end of the take-up drum.

[0025] The advantage of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that, during use, the take-up drum is driven by motor 2 to rotate horizontally in order to achieve the take-up operation of optical fiber.

[0026] Furthermore, limiting plates are coaxially fixedly sleeved at both ends of the take-up drum.

[0027] The advantages of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are that the structure is simple, the two limiting plates are reasonably designed, and the two limiting plates are used to limit the optical fiber taken up on the take-up drum to prevent the optical fiber from slipping off the take-up drum.
