Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of optical fiber processing technology, and more specifically, relates to a ferrule turnover fixture. Background Technology

[0002] Ceramic ferrules are the core components of fiber optic connectors, used to precisely position and protect the fiber end face. During the glue injection process in fiber optic connector assembly, ceramic ferrules are usually arranged in an array (e.g., 25 holes × 10 rows = 250 pieces / board), and then need to be disassembled into other placement boards (e.g., 50 pieces / board) for further processing (e.g., grinding, coating, assembly, etc.).

[0003] Currently, the packaging of ceramic ferrules mainly relies on manual operation, which results in the following problem: operators use tweezers to pick up ceramic ferrules one by one, which requires repeated picking and is extremely inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a ferrule turnover fixture for simultaneously gripping multiple ceramic ferrules, thereby improving the transfer efficiency of ceramic ferrules.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides a ferrule turnover clamp for holding ceramic ferrules, comprising:

[0006] The first clamping plate is provided with a first slot, and the first slot is provided with a first opening;

[0007] The second clamping plate is slidably connected to the first clamping plate. The second clamping plate is provided with a second slot, the position of which corresponds to the position of the first slot.

[0031] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 4 The insert turnover fixture provided in the embodiments of this application will now be described.

[0032] This application provides a ferrule turnover fixture for holding ceramic ferrules 30, including a first clamping plate 10 and a second clamping plate 20.

[0033] The first clamping plate 10 is provided with a first slot 11, and the first slot 11 is provided with a first opening 12. The second clamping plate 20 is slidably connected to the first clamping plate 10, and the second clamping plate 20 is provided with a second slot 21, the position of which corresponds to the position of the first slot 11. The second slot 21 has a second opening 22, and the second opening 22 is arranged opposite to the first opening 12. The first slot 11 and the second slot 21 are used to jointly clamp the target ceramic ferrule 30, and the target ceramic ferrule 30 is provided with a clamping part. The first slot 11 and the second slot 21 are used to jointly clamp the clamping part on the target ceramic ferrule 30.

[0034] There are multiple first slots 11, which are evenly spaced along the length of the first clamping plate 10. There are also multiple second slots 21, which are evenly spaced along the length of the second clamping plate 20, and each second slot 21 corresponds one-to-one with a first slot 11. By providing multiple first slots 11 and second slots 21, multiple target ceramic ferrules 30 can be clamped simultaneously.

[0035] Compared with the prior art, the ferrule turnover fixture provided in this application includes a first clamping plate 10 and a second clamping plate 20. The first clamping plate 10 and the second clamping plate slide relative to each other. The first clamping plate 10 is provided with a plurality of first slots 11, and the second clamping plate 20 is provided with a plurality of second slots 21. The plurality of second slots 21 correspond one-to-one with the plurality of first slots 11. The first slots 11 and the second slots 21 are used to jointly clamp the ceramic ferrule 30. The plurality of first slots 11 and the plurality of second slots 21 are used to simultaneously clamp the plurality of ceramic ferrules 30 to improve the transfer efficiency of the ceramic ferrules 30. At the same time, when the first clamping plate 10 and the second clamping plate 20 clamp the plurality of ceramic ferrules 30, the clamping force acting on the plurality of ceramic ferrules 30 is consistent, thereby ensuring the yield of the ceramic ferrules 30.

[0036] In the application, the first slot 11 is used to clamp a portion of the side wall of the target ceramic ferrule 30 to be clamped, that is, a portion of the side wall of the target ceramic ferrule 30 to be clamped is adapted to the first slot 11, and the second slot 21 is used to clamp a portion of the side wall of the target ceramic ferrule 30 to be clamped, that is, a portion of the side wall of the target ceramic ferrule 30 to be clamped is adapted to the first slot 11.

[0037] The sum of the perimeters of the clamped portion held by the first slot 11 and the second slot 21 is set as the first length dimension, and the perimeter of the clamped portion is set as the second length dimension. The first length dimension is less than or equal to the second length dimension, so that the side walls of the first slot 11 and the second slot 21 can abut against the outer wall of the clamped portion, thereby improving the reliability of the clamping of the target ceramic ferrule 30 by the first clamping plate 10 and the second clamping plate 20.

[0038] In this application, the clamping part is a cylindrical structure, and correspondingly, the first slot 11 and the second slot 21 are both arc-shaped structures, so that when the first clamping plate 10 and the second clamping plate 20 clamp the target ceramic ferrule 30, part of the side wall of the clamping part on the target ceramic ferrule 30 is adapted to the first slot 11, and another part of the side wall is adapted to the second slot 21.

[0039] In this application, one of the first clamping plate 10 or the second clamping plate 20 is provided with a guide rod 40, and the other of the first clamping plate 10 or the second clamping plate 20 is provided with a guide hole. The guide rod 40 is slidably connected in the guide hole. By sliding the guide rod 40 in the guide hole, the first clamping plate 10 and the second clamping plate 20 are brought closer together or moved further apart. When the first clamping plate 10 and the second clamping plate 20 are brought closer together, they are used to clamp the target ceramic ferrule 30. When the first clamping plate 10 and the second clamping plate 20 are moved further apart, they are used to release the target ceramic ferrule 30.

[0040] In this application, an elastic element 50 is sleeved on the guide rod 40. Preferably, the elastic element 50 is a spring. The elastic element 50 is located between the first clamping plate 10 and the second clamping plate 20, with one end of the elastic element 50 abutting against the first clamping plate 10 and the other end of the elastic element 50 abutting against the second clamping plate 20. When the first clamping member and the second clamping member are in the state of clamping the target ceramic ferrule 30, the elastic element 50 is in the compressed state. Under the action of the elastic force of the elastic element 50, the first clamping plate 10 and the second clamping plate 20 return to the initial position to release the target ceramic ferrule 30.

[0041] In one embodiment of this application, a first limiting member 60 is provided at one end of the guide rod 40, and a second limiting member 70 is provided at the other end of the guide rod 40. The first clamping plate 10 and the second clamping plate 20 are both located between the first limiting member 60 and the second limiting member 70.

[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment, the elastic member 50 is in a compressed state. When the first clamping plate 10 and the second clamping plate 20 are clamping the target ceramic ferrule 30, the elastic member 50 is further compressed. When the operator releases the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate, under the action of the elastic force of the elastic member 50, the first clamping plate 10 and the second clamping plate 20 release the target ceramic ferrule 30, and the first clamping plate 10 and the second clamping plate 20 respectively abut against the first limiting member 60 and the second limiting member 70, thereby limiting the position of the first clamping plate 10 and the second clamping plate 20.

[0043] In this application, the first clamping plate 10 is provided with a first sliding groove 13, and the second clamping plate 20 is provided with a second sliding groove 23. The carrier plate 80 for carrying the ceramic insert 30 is slidably connected in the first sliding groove 13 and the second sliding groove 23.

[0044] Specifically, the carrier plate 80 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 81, the number of mounting holes 81 being equal to the number of the first slot 11 and the second slot 21. The first clamping plate 10 and the second clamping plate 20 are used to place the clamped target ceramic ferrule 30 into the mounting holes 81.

[0045] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
