Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical fiber transportation technology, specifically to an optical fiber winding reel transport vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] Optical fiber is a type of fiber made of glass or plastic that transmits optical signals using the principle of total internal reflection. As a crucial medium for modern information transmission, optical fiber is widely used in communications, medical fields, and industrial control due to its advantages such as large transmission capacity, low loss, and strong anti-interference capabilities. The manufacturing process of optical fiber is complex and precise, with fiber drawing being a key step. With continuous advancements in optical fiber manufacturing technology, the length and speed of fiber drawing have significantly improved. Early fiber drawing lengths were typically around 250 km, using plastic fiber spools for winding. However, with technological development, the drawing length of a single fiber spool has reached 1000 km or even longer. To meet the demands of long-distance, high-speed drawing, the material of the fiber spool has gradually upgraded from plastic to metal.
[0003] Fiber optic winding reels are essential tools for winding and protecting optical fibers. After fiber drawing, the fiber needs to be wound onto a winding reel for subsequent storage, transportation, and use. The performance of the winding reel directly affects the quality and lifespan of the optical fiber. Early winding reels were mainly made of plastic, but as the length of drawn optical fibers increased, the strength and stability of plastic winding reels could no longer meet the requirements. Currently, metal winding reels have become the mainstream choice. Metal winding reels have higher strength, rigidity, and durability, and can withstand greater fiber weight and tension, effectively protecting the fiber from damage.
[0004] However, fiber winding reels come in various sizes and are quite heavy, which makes transportation difficult. Existing small transport vehicles are not suitable for different sizes of fiber winding reels, have poor versatility, and the loading and unloading process is time-consuming and laborious, which can easily damage the fiber winding reels, thus failing to meet the transportation needs of different specifications of fiber winding reels.

Furthermore, some aspects of this utility model can be used alone or in any suitable combination with other aspects disclosed in this utility model.
[0029] Example 1
[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, an optical fiber winding reel transport vehicle includes a frame 1, four casters 2, anti-collision blocks 3, and a support structure. The frame 1 serves as the main structure of the transport vehicle, bearing all components and providing stable support. It is made of 6061 aluminum alloy, resulting in a robust structure capable of withstanding significant weight and improving the transport vehicle's durability. The two front casters 2 are lockable, while the two rear casters 2 are non-lockable. The casters 2 provide mobility, allowing the transport vehicle to steer and move freely, while also providing stability when stationary. The lockable front wheels improve stability when parked, preventing the transport vehicle from slipping during transport or loading / unloading; the non-lockable rear wheels enhance maneuverability and facilitate direction adjustment.
[0031] The anti-collision block 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the frame 1. The anti-collision block 3 is made of rigid plastic and is used to protect the frame from external collisions and impacts, thereby improving the service life of the equipment. The rigid plastic material reduces the overall weight of the vehicle while effectively absorbing impact forces to prevent the frame from deforming or being damaged.
[0032] The support section is used to support and position the fiber winding reel 4. In this embodiment, the support section includes a first positioning block 6 and a first guide rod 5. The first guide rod 5 is fixedly connected to the side of the frame 1 and can be inserted into the fiber winding reel 4. The first positioning block 6 is fixedly connected to the frame 1, and the fiber winding reel 4 is placed on the first positioning block 6. A bumper pad is fixedly connected to the first guide rod 5. The first positioning block 6 and the first guide rod 5 can support and fix the fiber winding reel, ensuring that the reel will not tilt or slide during transportation. The first guide rod can be inserted into the center hole of the fiber winding reel, acting as a limit to prevent displacement of the reel. The first positioning block provides additional support, allowing the fiber winding reel to be stably placed on the frame. The bumper pad reduces direct contact between the fiber winding reel and the support section during transportation, preventing friction damage.
[0033] Example 2
[0034] like Figure 2-5 As shown, unlike Embodiment 1, the support includes a second positioning block 7 and a second guide rod 10. The second positioning block 7 and the second guide rod 10 provide an adjustable positioning method to adapt to different sizes of fiber winding reels, improving versatility. The adjustable support structure has sliding and rotation adjustment functions, is suitable for different sizes of fiber winding reels, and allows for flexible adjustment of the fiber winding reel's fixing method during transportation, improving versatility and safety.
[0035] The second positioning block 7 includes a sliding block 701, a support block 702, and a first screw 703. The first screw 703 is threadedly connected to the sliding block 701, and the end of the first screw 703 is movably connected to the support block 702. The first screw 703 is used to adjust the distance between the support block 702 and the sliding block 701. The support block 702 is used to support the fiber winding disc 4. By adjusting the position of the support block 702 through the first screw 703, it can adapt to fiber winding discs of different diameters and improve versatility.
[0036] A second threaded rod 8 is fixedly connected to the frame 1. The second threaded rod 8 passes through a sliding block 701, which can slide on the second threaded rod 8. Positioning nuts 9 are provided on both sides of the sliding block 701, and are threadedly connected to the second threaded rod 8. The positioning nuts 9 are used to position the sliding block 701. The sliding block 701 can slide on the second threaded rod 8, and by sliding, the support position of the support block 702 can be adjusted to accommodate fiber winding reels of different lengths.
[0037] The frame 1 has a sliding plate 11 at its rear. A groove 12 is provided on the frame 1, allowing the sliding plate 11 to slide smoothly within the groove 12, thus improving adjustment efficiency. A fixed beam is fixedly connected to the frame 1, and a third threaded rod 13 is threaded onto the fixed beam. The top of the third threaded rod 13 is movably connected to the sliding plate 11, and the third threaded rod 13 is used to adjust the height of the sliding plate 11. A second guide rod 10 passes through the sliding plate 11 and can be inserted into the fiber winding reel 4. The sliding plate 11 has a through hole that matches the second guide rod 10. Adjusting the height of the sliding plate 11 via the third threaded rod 13 allows the sliding plate 11 to move up and down, which in turn causes the second guide rod 10 to rise and fall, allowing the second guide rod 10 to adapt the fiber winding reel to different height requirements.
[0038] Furthermore, this utility model also includes a positioning cover 14. The end of the second guide rod 10 has an external thread. The positioning cover 14 is used to prevent the fiber winding disc 4 from falling off. The positioning cover 14 is threadedly connected to the end of the second guide rod 10. Through the threaded connection, the fiber winding disc 4 can be firmly locked, preventing the fiber winding disc from falling off due to vibration or tilting during transportation.
[0039] Before use, the positions of the second positioning block 7 and the slide plate 11 can be adjusted according to the size of the fiber winding disc until a suitable position is reached. The fiber winding disc 4 is placed directly on top of the support block 702 so that the fiber winding disc 4 contacts the anti-collision pad. Then, the second guide rod 10 is inserted into the disc hole of the fiber winding disc through the through hole of the slide plate 11. Then, the positioning cover 14 is tightened to position the fiber winding disc 4 and ensure that the fiber winding disc 4 is stable and safe.
[0040] This embodiment is easy to disassemble, facilitating the loading and unloading of the fiber winding reel and improving ease of use. It can accommodate fiber winding reels of different sizes and specifications, improving equipment adaptability, ensuring safety and stability during transportation, effectively reducing the risk of damage to the fiber winding reel, and extending its service life.
