Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical fiber collimator technology, specifically to a curing device for an optical fiber collimator. Background Technology
[0002] A fiber optic collimator is an optical element used to collimate a beam of light in an optical fiber, forming a more concentrated spot at the fiber's output end. Its main function is to increase the beam's divergence angle and reduce light scattering, thereby improving the efficiency of light transmission. Fiber optic collimators are widely used in fiber optic communication, fiber optic sensing, optical experiments, and other fields.
[0003] A search revealed that Chinese patent CN221569992U discloses a curing device for an optical fiber collimator, including a base. A mounting plate is fixedly connected to the right side of the upper surface of the base. A rectangular opening is formed on the front side of the mounting plate, and a first rectangular groove is formed on the upper surface of the mounting plate. Two sliding grooves are formed on the left and right side walls of the first rectangular groove. Two first electric telescopic rods are fixedly connected to the bottom of the first rectangular groove. The first electric telescopic rods drive a connecting block to move vertically. Rotating the handle rotates a threaded rod, which in turn rotates a moving block. The moving block moves the base horizontally, and the base causes the optical fiber collimator to be finely adjusted vertically and horizontally. After adjustment, glue is dripped into a third rectangular groove. After the glue cures, the optical fiber collimator and the fixed base become a single unit. A second electric telescopic rod then moves the top plate upwards, pushing out the cured glue portion. However, the following shortcomings exist in its use.
[0004] When curing the fiber optic collimator, the positioning plate needs to be threadedly connected to the threaded hole on the base by locking bolts. Then, the handle is turned to drive the threaded rod to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod drives the moving block to move left and right. The movement of the moving block drives the base to move, which leads to inconvenience in use. At the same time, the thread is prone to slippage after long-term use. Therefore, a curing device for the fiber optic collimator is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0022] Example
[0023] In the existing technology, when curing the fiber collimator, the positioning plate needs to be threadedly connected to the threaded hole on the base by locking bolts. Then, the handle is turned to drive the threaded rod to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod drives the moving block to move left and right. The movement of the moving block drives the base to move, which leads to inconvenience in use. At the same time, the thread is prone to stripping problems after long-term use.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: a curing device for an optical fiber collimator, including a base 1, a detector 2 fixedly installed on the left edge of the upper surface of the base 1, a measuring gas chamber 4 fixedly connected to the right surface of the detector 2, a connecting plate 3 fixedly connected to the middle right of the upper surface of the base 1, a fixing seat 5 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting plate 3, a fixing block 6 fixedly installed on the top of the base 1 and located on one side of the connecting plate 3, an adjustment structure provided on the outer side of the fixing block 6, a placement plate 10 provided on the top of the fixing block 6, a slider 11 fixedly installed at the bottom of the placement plate 10 and slidably installed inside the damping pad 9, a positioning plate 12 hinged to the top of the placement plate 10, a side plate 13 fixedly installed on one side of the positioning plate 12, an elastic buckle 14 fixedly installed on one side of the placement plate 10 and one end of the elastic buckle 14 located on the top of the side plate 13, and an arc-shaped part fixedly installed at one end of the elastic buckle 14. The fiber optic collimator 16 is clamped between the elastic plate 15 and the positioning plate 12. In use, the fiber optic collimator 16 is placed on top of the placement plate 10, and then the positioning plate 12 is fastened to the top of the placement plate 10. One end of the elastic buckle plate 14 on one side of the placement plate 10 is fastened to the top of the side plate 13 on one side of the positioning plate 12, thereby limiting the placement plate 10 and the positioning plate 12. The placement plate 10 and the positioning plate 12 clamp and limit the fiber optic collimator 16, making it easy to use. Then, the placement plate 10 is adjusted by the adjustment structure so that the fiber optic collimator 16 is kept horizontal with the center line of the measuring air chamber 4, so that the light emitted by the fiber optic collimator 16 hits the detector 2 through the measuring air chamber 4. When the output electrical signal value of the detector 2 reaches the maximum value and the signal stabilizes, the adjustment is stopped, and glue is dripped into the rectangular groove 19. After the glue cures, the fiber optic collimator 16 and the fixing base 5 become a whole.
[0025] The adjustment structure includes a rectangular sleeve 7, which is slidably installed on the outside of the fixed block 6. A fixed rod 8 is fixedly installed inside the rectangular sleeve 7, and the fixed rod 8 passes through the slider 11. Damping pads 9 are fixedly installed on both sides of the inside of the fixed block 6. A support plate 17 is installed on one inner wall of the rectangular sleeve 7, and a threaded rod 18 is fixedly installed on one side of the support plate 17 and is threadedly connected to the rectangular sleeve 7. After the fiber optic collimator 16 is installed, the placement plate 10 is slidably installed on the top of the fixed block 6 via the slider 11, and the fixed rod 8 passes through the slider 11. The height of the placement plate 10 is adjusted by sliding the rectangular sleeve 7. At the same time, the damping pads 9 increase the friction between the slider 11 and the fixed block 6. Rotating the threaded rod 18 pushes the support plate 17 to move, thereby adjusting the friction between the rectangular sleeve 7 and the fixed block 6. Sliding the placement plate 10 adjusts the fiber optic collimator 16, improving the ease of use and facilitating adjustment.
[0026] The placement plate 10 and the positioning plate 12 have evenly spaced arc-shaped grooves on one side. The fiber optic collimator 16 is located inside the arc-shaped grooves and is clamped by the positioning plate 12 and the placement plate 10.

[0028] The slider 11 has a through hole inside, and the fixing rod 8 passes through the through hole to limit the slider 11.
[0029] A threaded hole is provided on one side of the rectangular sleeve 7. The size of the threaded rod 18 is adapted to the size of the threaded hole, and the support plate 17 is moved by the threaded rod 18.
[0030] In terms of working principle or structural principle, during use, the fiber optic collimator 16 is placed on top of the placement plate 10, and then the positioning plate 12 is fastened to the top of the placement plate 10. One end of the elastic buckle 14 on one side of the placement plate 10 is fastened to the top of the side plate 13 on one side of the positioning plate 12, thereby limiting the placement plate 10 and the positioning plate 12. The placement plate 10 and the positioning plate 12 clamp and limit the fiber optic collimator 16. At the same time, the placement plate 10 is slidably mounted on top of the fixing block 6 through the slider 11, and the fixing rod 8 passes through the slider 11. The height of the placement plate 10 is adjusted by the sliding rectangular sleeve 7, and the damping pad 9 raises the sliding height. The friction between block 11 and fixed block 6 is adjusted by rotating threaded rod 18 to push support plate 17 to move, thereby adjusting the friction between rectangular sleeve 7 and fixed block 6. Sliding placement plate 10 adjusts fiber optic collimator 16, improving ease of use and facilitating adjustment, so that fiber optic collimator 16 is kept horizontal with the center line of measuring air chamber 4, so that the light emitted by fiber optic collimator 16 hits detector 2 through measuring air chamber 4. When the output electrical signal value of detector 2 reaches the maximum value and the signal stabilizes, the adjustment is stopped, and glue is dripped into rectangular groove 19. After the glue cures, fiber optic collimator 16 and fixed base 5 become a whole.
