Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of optical cable water seepage test, specifically relates to an intelligent optical cable water seepage test device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In optical cable production, the water seepage test device is usually used to test the longitudinal water resistance of the optical cable, and the standard requires that the 3-meter-long optical cable under the pressure of 1-meter-high water column does not appear water seepage at the other end within 24 hours, which represents that the optical cable water seepage performance is qualified. The water seepage test is the main technical index of the industry standard and the A-class technical index required in the technical specification of the optical cable of each operator, and unqualified conditions are not allowed, so each production enterprise and detection agency attaches great importance to it.

[0003] At present, the steps of the water seepage test of most optical cable factories and detection agencies are as follows: the tester cuts the two ends of the optical cable in a ring shape to cut out two flush ends, so as to avoid the internal elements of the optical cable being squeezed and causing inaccurate water seepage test; a label is usually pasted on the tested optical cable, which has the disc number, model number and water seepage start time of the optical cable, so as to facilitate the identification and management of the tested optical cable. During the water seepage test, the tester needs to frequently go to the vicinity of the water seepage device to check the water seepage test result, and if water seepage appears at the other end of the tested optical cable within the specified time, the tester immediately records the test result (including the disc number of the optical cable, the water seepage occurrence time and other key information) in the test record, and the same needs to be recorded if no water seepage appears. Inside the factory, the tester needs to timely inform the production personnel of the water seepage, so that the production process personnel can analyze and adjust.

[0004] The use of the traditional water seepage device for test has many inconveniences: first, it is very dependent on the tester to spend effort and time to regularly check whether water seeps out of the end of the tested optical cable; second, the test result needs to be recorded manually after it is obtained, and the record contains the disc number, water seepage start and end time, and the information is too much, the workload is large, and the manual record is often not comprehensive enough; third, the test record is usually an excel data table or a paper document record, and the information is too much and too scattered, so it is difficult for others to quickly understand the test situation, and further processing and arrangement are needed to make it easier to check; and fourth, multiple optical cables are usually tested simultaneously during the test, and since the tests start at different times, it is very inconvenient and low in efficiency to manually check the label to determine whether the water seepage test is completed. Therefore, it is particularly necessary to develop a more intelligent and convenient water seepage test device.

[0005] Therefore, the utility model is provided. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0028] Among them, the number of optical cable connectors 6 is the same as the number of signal lights 5, and the positions are one-to-one corresponding, the number of clamps 14 is the same as the number of optical cable connectors 6, and the positions are one-to-one corresponding, the clamp 14 supports and fixes the test optical cable 7.

[0029] The glass observation plate 8 is of transparent glass material, and the glass observation plate 8 is divided into the same equal parts according to the number of optical cable connectors 6, and the two are one-to-one corresponding, and the glass observation plate 8 is used for protecting the lens of the camera 9.

[0030] The glass observation plate 8 is of right-angle bending structure, the camera 9 is provided with two, and is located at the corresponding positions of the two planes of the glass observation plate 8, the camera 9 is provided with a mounting rack structure, and the mounting rack is slidingly connected and mounted on the track 13, and the camera 9 can move positions along the track 13.

[0031] The program used by the program control device 12 is an OFC manufacturing execution system program, and the program control device 12 is a computer or a mobile phone.

[0032] The program control device 12 is connected with the signal light 5 and the camera 9 through a signal line for recording, feeding back and transmitting test information.

[0033] The working principle of the utility model is:

[0034] The working process of the device is:

[0035] 1. Prepare the test optical cable 7 that needs to be tested, and process the ends of the test optical cable 7 into horizontal end faces to avoid the components in the optical cable being crushed;

[0036] 2. Import the optical cable information that needs to be tested, including the disc number, model specification, machine number, operator, etc., through the OFC manufacturing execution system. The relevant information can also be manually entered. The system will generate a barcode label containing the optical cable information. The label can be identified by a scanner 11. The optical cable information printed on the label also includes the disc number, model specification, machine number, etc., as well as the test start time;

[0037] The production factory usually needs to perform a large number of tests every day. The interworking of test detection and production procedures supports label production and printing, which can greatly reduce personnel operations. Compared with traditional pen handwriting, printed labels can provide more comprehensive information (otherwise, handwriting cannot be written, which is a waste of time) and are less prone to errors;

[0038] 3. The program control device 12 will display the idle optical cable connector 6 at the moment, select the connector, scan the barcode, and the system will record the optical cable information and the start time. Paste the barcode on the optical cable to be tested and insert it into the optical cable connector 6. The water penetration test begins. At this time, the program will control the signal light 5 behind the optical cable connector 6 to display green to remind;

[0039] 4. Since the optical cable water penetration test requires a fixed length, the industry standard requires 3 meters for 24 hours without water penetration, and the factory usually uses 1 meter for 8 hours without water penetration for control. After penetration, the optical cable is taken out for 3-meter 24-hour water penetration to improve efficiency. Therefore, the length of the optical cable is usually fixed (3 meters and 1 meter). The device provides two specifications, one for 3-meter long optical cable testing, and the other for 1-meter long optical cable testing;

[0040] Process: Extend the test optical cable 7 along the support 10 to above the glass observation plate 8, and fix the test optical cable 7 with the clamps 14 on the support 10 to keep it straight. The glass observation plate 8 is made of transparent glass and serves to protect the camera 9 lens and can also be connected to water droplets. The glass observation plate 8 is divided into the same number of sections as the optical cable connectors 6, and they correspond one-to-one. The number of supports 10 between the optical cable connectors 6 and the glass observation plate 8 can be increased, and there are fixed clamps 14 on them to avoid bending of adjacent optical cables, which can cause the end of the optical cable to extend to another position and affect the test results. There are division lines printed on the glass observation plate to facilitate the division of the areas;

[0041] 5. Start the test to the end of the test time, the program control device 12 will control the camera interval fixed time along the track 13 to the test cable end head shot (usually every minute, interval time can be adjusted in the program), the device on the cable joint 6 is not full of plug, the program will control the camera 9 on the corresponding glass watchboard area is not taken, the camera 9 moves usually the bottom and side of two cameras 9 synchronous movement at the same time, the photos are transmitted to the program end by the data line, the photos taken by the bottom camera 9 are analyzed by the program, the photos taken by the side camera are analyzed by the program, usually the water in the device is added with fluorescent agent, which can make the water leakage result judgment more simple;

[0042] As shown in the accompanying Figure 3 drawings, if there is no water droplet in the bottom and side within the set time, it means that the optical cable water leakage is qualified;

[0043] As shown in the accompanying Figure 4 drawings, if there is water droplet in the side within the set time, it means that the optical cable water leakage is unqualified;

[0044] As shown in the accompanying Figure 5 drawings, if there is no water droplet in the bottom within the set time, it means that the optical cable water leakage is unqualified;

[0045] As shown in the accompanying Figure 6 drawings, if there is water droplet in the bottom within the set time, it means that the optical cable water leakage is unqualified;

[0046] When the program identifies water leakage, the interface of the optical cable joint 6 area will display the unqualified water leakage reminder, and the signal lamp 5 behind the optical cable joint 6 will turn red, reminding the test personnel to check and confirm the water leakage of the optical cable head, and the test personnel confirms the test result in the program, and then cleans the glass watchboard water droplet in the area, so as to carry out the next test;

[0047] When the optical cable is not detected water leakage within the specified time, the interface of the optical cable joint 6 area will display the qualified water leakage reminder, and the program will control the signal lamp 5 behind the optical cable joint 6 to light yellow, and the test personnel can pull out the test optical cable 7 at the position and confirm the test result;

[0048] The program defaults to no change in the test result within the specified time (about 5 minutes), and the test result is correct, and the program will produce test records according to the determined result, which can avoid too much operation of personnel and increase the task quantity, but the program retains the modification authority of the result of the user;

[0049] Further functions: the program will learn from the tester's confirmation of the test results, increase its database, and improve the accuracy and speed of judgment;

[0050] 6. The tester can view the photos taken by the camera on the program side to monitor the test conditions, and the program will save the photos for a certain period of time for the tester to retrieve and view;

[0051] 7. The program will analyze the test results, and the tester and user can view all test results, the system will calculate the pass rate, generate a board, and the tester can also filter and view the water seepage test conditions under the corresponding conditions according to the machine, personnel, specifications, and water seepage start time. This function further analyzes and processes the test records, making it easier for production quality management personnel to fully understand the test results;

[0052] 8. The program has a mobile phone version that can synchronize test results, and production and quality management personnel can view the test process and results at any time. Because of the online reminder function, the operator and process personnel can also obtain the water seepage test results in the first time, so as to quickly adjust and reduce communication costs;

[0053] The water seepage test device of the utility model generates a barcode label containing optical cable information in cooperation with the production system program, without manual recording. The label content is intuitive and detailed, and the water seepage test result can be automatically determined, the test process can be reminded in real time, the test record can be recorded online in real time, the test result information can be deeply processed, and the labor intensity of the tester is greatly reduced. The mobile camera is used to monitor the test process, the labor cost is saved, the program analyzes the test results, calculates the pass rate, and makes it easier for production quality management personnel to fully understand the test results.
