Description

Technical Field

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN213580439U describes a tensile testing device for optical fibers. This utility model has two mounting bases on the top of a base plate, which are fixed to the output ends of driving components on the left and right ends of the base plate. During operation, the optical fiber is placed inside the two mounting bases. Each mounting base has an inverted U-shaped mounting frame with internal screws. After placing the optical fiber, the screw rods at the top of the two screws are rotated simultaneously, causing the screws to rotate. The moving plate on the outside of the screws drives the pressure plate downwards into the mounting base, pressing the optical fiber down from above. This facilitates the placement and fixing of the optical fiber, firmly securing it inside the mounting base. While this structure can perform tensile testing on optical fibers, the manual rotation of the screw rods during the pulling process is inconvenient. When large-scale testing of optical fibers is required, the manpower consumption is excessive, and the device's testing capabilities are limited, significantly restricting its practicality.

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.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-4 A fiber optic performance testing device includes a base 1, a testing box 2 mounted on the top of the base 1, a limit plate 3 installed inside the testing box 2, and a testing mechanism 4 provided inside the testing box 2.

[0021] The testing mechanism 4 includes a first motor 401, which is installed on the left side of the testing box 2. A winding roller 402 is installed at the output shaft of the first motor 401. A second motor 403 is installed inside the testing box 2. A turntable 404 is connected to the output shaft of the second motor 403. A limit ring 405 is installed on the top of the turntable 404. An electric slide table 406 is installed outside the limit plate 3. A sliding sleeve 407 is installed inside the limit plate 3. Two first electric push rods 408 are installed inside the sliding sleeve 407. A grinding disc 409 is installed on the opposite side of each of the two first electric push rods 408.

[0022] exist Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the middle, the output shaft of the first motor 401 is threadedly connected to the winding roller 402, and a rotating rod is connected to the right side of the winding roller 402. The right side of the rotating rod is rotatably connected to the inner right wall of the detection box 2.

[0023] Specifically, the winding roller 402 is connected to the first motor 401 and the rotating rod respectively by fixing screws, which facilitates the replacement of different winding rollers 402 and the testing of different optical fiber bodies.

[0024] exist Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the middle, the outer side of the winding roller 402 is equipped with an optical fiber body, which passes through the limiting plate 3 and the sliding sleeve 407. The bottom of the second motor 403 is connected to the inner bottom wall of the detection box 2.

[0025] Specifically, as the winding roller 402 rotates, the tension of the optical fiber body in the limiting plate 3 continuously increases, and the tension gauge 7 displays the tension on the optical fiber body, thereby achieving tension detection.

[0026] exist Figure 1 and Figure 3 In the middle, the top of the turntable 404 is connected to an extension rod, the inside of which is provided with a wire hole. The top of the extension rod is connected to the bottom of the limiting ring 405, and the inside of the limiting ring 405 is equipped with a second electric push rod 5.

[0027] Specifically, during use, one end of the optical fiber body is fixed on the winding roller 402, and the other end passes through the limiting ring 405. The second electric push rod 5 drives the clamping plate 6 to clamp the optical fiber body, thereby facilitating the straightening of both ends of the optical fiber body and making it easier to test its tensile, torsional and abrasion resistance performance.

[0028] exist Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the middle, clamping plates 6 are installed on the opposite side of the three second electric push rods 5, and the opposite side of the two electric slides 406 are respectively connected to the left and right sides of the slide sleeve 407.

[0029] Specifically, the optical fiber body passes through the sliding sleeve 407. After the winding roller 402 and the limiting ring 405 fix and straighten the optical fiber body, the two first electric push rods 408 push the grinding disc 409 to clamp the optical fiber body. At this time, the PLC controller drives the electric slide table 406 to start and drive the sliding sleeve 407 to move up and down to rub the optical fiber body. The data is fed back to the PLC controller through the sensor in the grinding disc 409, thereby achieving the detection of the abrasion resistance performance of the optical fiber body.

[0030] exist Figure 2 and Figure 4 In the middle, the front of the detection box 2 is hinged with a door, an observation window is installed on the front of the door, a PLC controller is fixedly installed on the front of the door, a tension gauge 7 is installed on the top of the winding roller 402, and a torque gauge 8 is installed on the top of the turntable 404.

[0031] In summary, this optical fiber performance testing device, by setting up a first motor 401 and driving the PLC controller to start the first motor 401, can drive the winding roller 402 to rotate. In use, one end of the optical fiber body is fixed to the winding roller 402, and the other end passes through the limiting ring 405. The second electric push rod 5 drives the clamping plate 6 to clamp the optical fiber body. As the winding roller 402 rotates, the tension in the optical fiber body in the limiting plate 3 continuously increases, and the tension gauge 7 displays the tension on the optical fiber body, thus achieving tension detection. By setting up a second motor 403 and driving the PLC controller to start the second motor 403, it can drive the turntable 404. When the winding roller 402 and the limiting ring 405 fix and straighten the optical fiber body, the optical fiber body will twist synchronously with the rotation of the turntable 404, and the data will be fed back through the torque meter 8, thereby achieving the purpose of testing the torsional performance. By setting the sliding sleeve 407, the optical fiber body passes through the sliding sleeve 407. When the winding roller 402 and the limiting ring 405 fix and straighten the optical fiber body, the two first electric push rods 408 push the grinding disc 409 to clamp the optical fiber body. At this time, the PLC controller drives the electric slide table 406 to start and drive the sliding sleeve 407 to move up and down to rub the optical fiber body, thereby achieving the test of the abrasion resistance performance of the optical fiber body.

[0032] Furthermore, in use, firstly, one end of the winding roller 402, on which the optical fiber to be tested is wound, is fixed to the first motor 401, and the other end is fixed to the rotating rod. Then, the PLC controller drives the first motor 401 to start, and the rotating winding roller 402 unwinds the fiber, allowing the optical fiber to pass through the limiting plate 3 and the sliding sleeve 407 downwards. At this time, the tail end of the optical fiber passes through the threading hole and returns to the limiting ring 405. Then, the PLC controller drives the second electric push rod 5 to drive the clamping block 6 to clamp the optical fiber again. After it is fixed and stable, the first motor 401 starts and drives the winding roller 402 to reverse. As the winding roller 402 rotates, the tension of the optical fiber in the limiting plate 3 continuously increases. The tension gauge 7 will display the tension on the fiber body until the fiber body breaks. The same method is used to fix the two ends of the fiber body. The PLC controller drives the second motor 403 to start, which drives the turntable 404 to rotate. As the turntable 404 rotates, the fiber body will twist synchronously, and the data will be fed back through the torque meter 8, thereby achieving the purpose of torsional performance testing. Finally, the two first electric push rods 408 push the grinding disc 409 to clamp the fiber body. At this time, the PLC controller drives the electric slide 406 to start, which drives the sliding sleeve 407 to move up and down to rub the fiber body, thereby achieving the purpose of testing the abrasion resistance of the fiber body.
