Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of optical fiber processing technology, specifically refers to a kind of multi-station optical fiber cutting equipment and optical fiber processing system. BACKGROUND

[0002] In today's era of rapid development of digital information, optical fiber network has become the core infrastructure of information transmission with its high speed, large capacity, low loss and other significant advantages. Whether it is data center, enterprise park or home broadband access, optical fiber network is applied everywhere. With the continuous expansion and upgrading of optical fiber network, optical fiber network wiring engineering is increasingly complex and frequent.

[0003] Firstly, in the construction, upgrading and daily maintenance process of optical fiber network, the situation of needing to rearrange or adjust a large number of skin wires, jumpers and optical fibers often occurs, thus, the rearrangement and cutting of multiple types of optical cables become one of the industry problems. For example, in the expansion project of data center, in order to meet the new business requirements and optimize the network structure, the skin wires of data servers accessed from different positions, jumpers connected to network devices and backbone optical fibers need to be uniformly adjusted in length and reconnected. In this scenario, it may be necessary to simultaneously cut these different types of optical cables to ensure that the new wiring system can be installed neatly, regularly and to ensure that the connection length and signal transmission between each part meet the requirements. However, the existing optical fiber cutting technology has obvious limitations when dealing with the cutting task of multiple types of optical cables. The skin wire has the characteristics of flat outer sheath and thin and weak internal optical fiber; the jumper has certain flexibility and bending radius requirements; while the backbone optical fiber is usually a multi-core optical cable with more complex structure. The existing cutting equipment and process are difficult to simultaneously meet the special requirements of these different types of optical cables, resulting in low cutting efficiency. In actual operation, workers may need to frequently change cutting tools or adjust cutting parameters for different types of optical cables, which not only wastes a lot of time and labor cost, but also easily causes unstable cutting quality, affecting the performance of the entire optical fiber network.

[0004] In addition, the problem of the influence of the cutting quality of the optical fiber after cutting. In the optical fiber network wiring engineering, the optical fiber cutting is usually required to be fused after cutting to realize the low loss connection between the optical fibers. However, the existing optical fiber cutting technology also has serious problems in the fusion link. If the optical fiber cutting process is completed and the optical fiber is placed in the fusion machine for too long without timely fusion, the optical fiber section surface is easy to fall into dust again. The fusion quality of the optical fiber is very important for the signal transmission of the optical fiber network. Even if a small amount of dust particles adhere to the optical fiber section surface, the scattering and reflection of the optical signal can be caused, thereby increasing the fusion loss and reducing the stability and reliability of the signal transmission. However, at present, in the actual optical cable construction environment, it is often impossible to completely avoid the existence of dust and other pollutants. Since the existing cutting technology cannot effectively control the exposure time of the optical fiber in the air after cutting, the risk of pollution of the optical fiber section surface is greatly increased. In order to reduce the occurrence probability of the above problems, the staff can only try to speed up the operation speed to make the processed optical fiber fuse as soon as possible. However, this has great difficulty in actual operation, because the cutting and fusion operations need a certain preparation time and operation precision, and too fast operation may cause the fusion quality to decrease. In addition, the existing cutting technology lacks effective means to protect the optical fiber section surface after cutting, and cannot fundamentally solve the problem of pollution of the optical fiber section surface.

[0024] The multi-station optical fiber cutting device provided by the embodiment can clamp a plurality of cables simultaneously through the clamping mechanism 100, and then cut the cables simultaneously through the cutter mechanism 200, so that the synchronous processing of the plurality of cables is realized. In addition, the simultaneous cutting of at least two optical fibers can fundamentally avoid the problem that the optical fibers need to be kept in a fusion machine for a long time during the fusion process, and the fusion processing can be performed immediately after the cutting is completed, so that the fusion quality of the optical fibers is improved significantly. Compared with the conventional cable processing technology at the present stage, the application has the advantages of high processing efficiency, high yield, low equipment cost, simple and shortened processing process, convenient operation and strong compatibility, and has a wide application prospect in the industry.

[0025] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the assembly table 300 in the embodiment provides a mounting connection platform for the clamping mechanism 100 and the cutter mechanism 200, and a positioning hole is arranged thereon.

[0027] Further, the skin line containing groove 150 in the embodiment includes a main groove 151 and a pre-end cable groove 152. The cross-sectional diameter of the main groove 151 is greater than that of the pre-end cable groove 152. The outer sheath of the skin line is arranged in the main groove 151, and the internal optical fiber of the skin line is arranged in the pre-end cable groove 152. Therefore, the cooperation degree between the multi-station optical fiber cutting equipment and the skin line is further improved, and the cutting precision is improved.

[0028] Referring to Figure 1As shown, four blades 210 are arranged in the four accommodating grooves in the embodiment, and the sizes of the four blades 210 are matched with the corresponding accommodating grooves. In order to reduce the mass of the cutting knife, the blades 210 are configured as hollow structures in the embodiment. Further, in order to improve the cutting quality, the outer contours of the blades 210 are configured as blade-shaped structures. Specifically, the blade-shaped blades 210 have thin cutting edges and sharp cutting angles, so that the blades can cut into the processed material more easily, thereby greatly reducing the problem of irregular cable cut.

Further, the cutting knife mechanism 200 includes a driver 240 and a transmission rod 230, one end of the transmission rod 230 is connected to the middle of the connecting plate 220, and the other end is connected to the working end of the driver 240 to drive the connecting plate 220 to move up and down along the height direction of the clamping mechanism 100.

[0030] The cutting knife mechanism 200 in the embodiment includes a support frame 250 arranged between the driver 240 and the assembly table 300, which includes a first rod body 251 and a second rod body 252.

[0031] In the actual cutting process, when the skin wire construction is needed, the optical fiber in the skin wire needs to be stripped and the coating needs to be removed. After being cleaned with alcohol, it is placed in the skin wire accommodating groove 150, and then the cutting knife mechanism 200 is used for cutting. Correspondingly, when the jumper construction is needed, the optical fiber in the jumper needs to be stripped and the coating needs to be removed. After being cleaned with alcohol, it is placed in the jumper accommodating groove 140, and then the cutting knife mechanism 200 is used for cutting. When the optical fiber construction is needed, two optical fibers that need to be fused together are needed, the coating is removed, and then the alcohol is cleaned and placed in the two optical fiber accommodating grooves 130, and then the cutting knife mechanism 200 is used for cutting. In the above process, the optical cable can be cut simultaneously, or single or multiple cables can be cut according to actual use requirements, thereby improving the use flexibility and application scope of the application.
