Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fiber optic collimator manufacturing and processing technology, and in particular to a curing device for fiber optic collimators. Background Technology

[0002] Fiber optic collimators are key components in fiber optic communication systems. Their function is to collimate the optical signals in the fiber into parallel light so that optical signals can be transmitted and coupled. In the production process of fiber optic collimators, it is necessary to fix the optical fiber and other components such as lenses. Usually, they are glued together and then cured by a curing device.

[0003] Currently, it is difficult to control the force applied during installation and adjustment, which can easily damage fiber optic devices.

[0004] Existing patent (publication number: CN221569992U) discloses a curing device for an optical fiber collimator, relating to the field of optical fiber collimator technology. It includes a base, with a mounting plate 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, causing the base to move horizontally. The base then finely adjusts the optical fiber collimator in both the vertical and horizontal directions. After adjustment, glue is dripped into a third rectangular groove. Once the glue has cured, 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 portion of the glue.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-5 The present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0028] A curing device for an optical fiber collimator includes a base 1, a fixing component 2 is disposed on the top of the base 1, and a curing light source component 3 is disposed on the top of the fixing component 2.

[0029] The fixing component 2 includes a fixing base 201. Positioning grooves 202 are provided on both sides of the top of the fixing base 201. Magnetic blocks 203 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the positioning grooves 202. A heating wire 204 is provided inside the fixing base 201. A rotary motor 205 is provided at the bottom of the fixing base 201. The bottom of the rotary motor 205 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1. A rotating column 206 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the rotary motor 205. The top of the rotating column 206 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing base 201.

[0030] In this embodiment: by setting up a base 1, a fixing component 2, and a curing light source component 3, the fiber optic collimator to be cured can be fixed by the fixing component 2 during use. The fixing method is relatively convenient, thereby improving production and processing efficiency. Moreover, it can provide a suitable curing temperature during the curing process and drive the fiber optic collimator to rotate slowly, thereby making the adhesive distribution more uniform. The curing light source component 3 can conveniently control the light curing conditions during the curing process, thereby improving the curing effect.

[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the curing light source assembly 3 includes a support frame 301. The two sides of the bottom of the support frame 301 are fixedly connected to the two sides of the top of the base 1, respectively. An electric telescopic rod 302 is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 301. The output rod of the electric telescopic rod 302 passes through the support frame 301 and is fixedly connected to the light source plate 303.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, a number of ultraviolet lamp beads 304 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the light source board 303, and they are evenly distributed on the bottom of the light source board 303.

[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the top of the support frame 301 is provided with a through hole 305 for use with the electric telescopic rod 302, and the output rod of the electric telescopic rod 302 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the through hole 305.

[0034] In this embodiment: by setting up a support frame 301, an electric telescopic rod 302, a light source plate 303, an ultraviolet lamp bead 304, and a through hole 305, during use, the support frame 301 can support the electric telescopic rod 302. Then, by activating the electric telescopic rod 302, the output rod of the electric telescopic rod 302 drives the light source plate 303 and the ultraviolet lamp bead 304 to descend to a suitable height. Then, by turning on the ultraviolet lamp bead 304, it can provide light during the curing process, thereby facilitating the control of the light curing conditions during the curing process and improving the curing effect. The through hole 305 allows the output rod of the electric telescopic rod 302 to extend and retract within the cavity of the support frame 301.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a temperature sensor 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting base 201, and a temperature display 5 is fixedly connected to the front side of the bottom of the mounting base 201.

[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, there are several positioning slots 202, which are evenly distributed on both sides of the top of the fixed base 201.

[0037] In this embodiment: by setting a temperature sensor 4, the temperature of the fixing base 201 can be monitored in real time; by setting a temperature display 5, the temperature of the fixing base 201 can be easily observed, thereby facilitating the control of the curing temperature.

[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 5 As shown, mounting blocks 6 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of both sides of the base 1, and mounting holes 7 are provided on the top of the mounting blocks 6.

[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 5 As shown, a rubber pad 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base 1, and the bottom of the rubber pad 8 is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0040] In this embodiment: by setting the mounting block 6 and the mounting hole 7, in order to facilitate the installation and fixing of the base 1 with other support components, the rubber pad 8 can play an anti-slip role when the base 1 is placed on the support component.

[0041] Working Principle: During use, the fiber optic collimator to be cured is placed in the positioning groove 202 at the top of the fixing base 201. The magnetic block 203 in the positioning groove 202 magnetically fixes the fiber optic collimator, which is a convenient fixation method. Then, depending on the type of fiber optic collimator and the characteristics of the adhesive, the heating wire 204 is activated by the controller to heat the fixing base 201 and maintain it at a suitable curing temperature. The rotary motor 205 is activated, causing its output shaft to drive the rotating column 206 to rotate slowly. The rotating column 206 drives the fixing base 201 to rotate slowly, which in turn drives the fiber optic collimator to rotate slowly, resulting in a more uniform distribution of the adhesive. Then, the electric telescopic rod 302 is activated, causing its output rod to lower the light source plate 303 and the ultraviolet lamp 304 to a suitable height. The ultraviolet lamp 304 is then turned on to provide illumination during the curing process, thus facilitating control of the light curing conditions and improving the curing effect.

[0042] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
