Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] A fiber optic cleaver is a tool specifically designed for cutting optical fibers. It enables high-precision cutting, ensuring the flatness of the fiber end face, with a typical cutting angle error within 0.5 degrees. Modern fiber optic cleavers are generally designed to be very user-friendly, easy to operate, and suitable for on-site construction and maintenance. The blades are usually made of high-hardness materials, maintaining sharpness for extended periods and reducing replacement frequency. They are suitable for various types of optical fibers, including single-mode and multimode fibers.

[0003] The main workflow is as follows: Ensure the fiber optic cleaver is clean and the blade is sharp. Use fiber optic strippers to remove the outer sheath of the fiber, exposing the bare fiber. Clean the fiber surface with lint-free paper and alcohol. Place the fiber into the cleaver's clamp, ensuring the fiber end face is aligned with the blade. Press the cleaver's cutting button or handle to complete the cut. Inspect the fiber end face with a microscope to ensure the cutting quality.

[0004] Most existing fiber optic cleavers require manual operation of the clamping plates for positioning and holding the fiber, which prolongs working time and reduces work efficiency; therefore, they do not meet the current needs. In response, we have proposed an auxiliary device for fiber optic cleavers. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model provides an auxiliary device for fiber optic cleavers, which has the beneficial effect of improving work efficiency. It solves the problem mentioned in the background art that most existing fiber optic cleavers require manual operation of the clamping plate for positioning and holding the fiber, which prolongs working time and reduces work efficiency.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] 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.

[0023] Example 1: This example aims to address the issue that in most existing fiber optic cleavers 111, the clamping plate 117 for positioning and holding the fiber optic cable requires manual operation, which prolongs working time and reduces work efficiency. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figures 1-4 An auxiliary device for fiber optic cleaver includes a cleaver 110 and a cleaver 111. The cleaver 110 has a working cavity 112, a slide rail 113 is installed in the working cavity 112, a slider 114 is slidably installed on the slide rail 113, the cleaver 111 is installed on the slider 114, and a fixing platform 115 for fixing the fiber is installed on the cleaver 110. The fixing platform 115 is located on both sides of the working cavity 112, and a plurality of positioning grooves 116 are opened on the fixing platform 115. A clamping plate 117 for clamping and limiting the fiber is installed on the fixing platform 115.

[0024] Two clamping plates 117 are provided, both symmetrically arranged around the working cavity 112. A control cavity 118 is provided inside the fixed platform 115, and a control assembly 120 for controlling the clamping plates 117 is provided inside the control cavity 118. The control assembly 120 includes a drive rod 121 installed at the bottom of the clamping plate 117, a drive rack 122 provided on the side of the drive rod 121, a control rod 123 horizontally inserted into the control cavity 118, a control gear 124 fixedly sleeved on the outside of the control rod 123, the control gear 124 meshing with the drive rack 122, and a control motor 125 drivingly connected to the end of the control rod 123.

[0025] The control cavity 118 is located on the side of the working cavity 112, and the number of control gears 124 corresponds to the number of drive rods 121. A rotating groove 126 corresponding to the control rod 123 is provided on the side of the fixed platform 115. The rotating groove 126 communicates with the control cavity 118, and the control rod 123 is connected to the control motor 125 via the rotating groove 126. A rotating groove 127 corresponding to the control rod 123 is provided inside the control cavity 118, and the end of the control rod 123 away from the control motor 125 is inserted into the rotating groove 127.

[0026] The operator places the optical fiber to be cut into the positioning slot 116 of the fixed platform 115, with the fiber positioned between two clamping plates 117. The positioning slot 116 is designed to ensure precise alignment of the fiber with the cutting position. The control motor 125 is started, driving the control lever 123 to rotate. The control gear 124 on the control lever 123 meshes with the drive rack 122 on the drive lever 121. Through gear transmission, the drive lever 121 pushes the clamping plates 117 towards the optical fiber, clamping and fixing the fiber. The two clamping plates 117 press down towards the fiber, ensuring that the fiber is clamped on both sides of the fixed platform 115. After the fiber is clamped and fixed, the slider 114 slides on the slide rail 113, driving the cleaver 111 to move to the cutting position of the fiber. The cleaver 111 cuts the fiber, ensuring a smooth and flat cut surface.

[0027] After cutting, the control motor 125 rotates in the opposite direction, and the control rod 123 causes the clamping plate 117 to loosen, releasing the optical fiber from the clamping plate 117. The operator can then remove the cut optical fiber.

[0028] In this embodiment, by controlling the cooperation between the motor 125, the control rod 123 and the gear, the clamping and releasing of the clamping plate 117 is realized, reducing the need for manual operation and improving work efficiency. The positioning groove 116 on the fixed table 115 enables the optical fiber to be precisely aligned with the cutting position, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the cutting. The two clamping plates 117 are symmetrically arranged to ensure that the optical fiber is evenly clamped on both sides of the fixed table 115, avoiding the optical fiber from shifting or being damaged during the cutting process.

[0029] Example 2 aims to address the issue that insufficient clamping force or a smooth surface on the clamping plate 117 can cause the optical fiber to slip or become unstable during clamping, affecting the cutting quality. This example is an improvement upon Example 1. For details, please refer to [link to example]. Figures 1-4 A rotating shaft 128 is provided inside the rotating groove 126. The rotating shaft 128 is sleeved on the outside of the control rod 123, ensuring that the control rod 123 can rotate stably during rotation. This enhances the mechanical stability and accuracy of the control rod 123 and avoids inaccurate clamping caused by the control rod 123 shaking or deviating. An anti-slip pad 129 is installed at the bottom of the clamping plate 117. The anti-slip pad 129 is a rubber pad.

[0030] In this embodiment, by installing a rubber anti-slip pad 129 at the bottom of the clamping plate 117, the friction between the clamping plate 117 and the optical fiber is increased, preventing the optical fiber from sliding or slipping during clamping, ensuring that the optical fiber can maintain a stable position during cutting, and improving the accuracy and safety of cutting.
