AI Technical Summary
In high-temperature fire environments, existing horizontally laid-out fiber optic tapering machines suffer radial sag in the tapering area due to gravity, affecting the beam output quality of the tapering component. This is especially problematic for high-power laser energy devices, which often fail to meet quality requirements.
A vertical graphite tapering machine is used, in which the tapering component is set vertically. The Z-axis power support component drives the upper and lower clamping motion components and the heating motion components to move vertically, ensuring that the tapering zone moves vertically and scans for annealing within the fire scene, thus avoiding the influence of gravity.
It effectively avoids radial offset in the tapered area, improves the concentricity and quality of beam transmission in the tapered component, simplifies operation, and avoids damage during continuous movement and clamping of the tapered component.

One end of the upper component drive lead screw 564 extends out of the upper component lead screw support 563. The upper component drive motor 561 is fixed to the base plate through an upper component drive motor support 567. The output end of the upper component drive motor 561 is connected to the extended end of the upper component drive lead screw 564 through the upper component drive coupling 562. The upper component drive nut block 565 is screwed onto the outer circumference of the upper component drive lead screw 564. The upper component drive motor 561 drives the upper component drive lead screw 564 to rotate, which in turn causes the upper component drive nut block 565 to move axially up and down. A pair of upper drive sliders 53 are connected to the bottom sides of the upper component mounting plate 13 respectively. The upper ring 131 of the upper component mounting plate 13 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the upper component drive nut block 565.

The lower component drive motor can directly drive the lower clamping motion component 3 to move vertically up and down along the Z-axis power support component 5.
[0067] Furthermore, the upper component linear drive slide 56 also includes an upper limit switch assembly 568, which is mounted on the Z-axis support main frame 51 and parallel to the upper component lead screw and nut mechanism to limit the travel of the upper clamping motion component 1. The middle component linear drive slide 57 also includes a middle section limit switch assembly, which is mounted on the Z-axis support main frame 51 and parallel to the middle section lead screw and nut mechanism to limit the travel of the middle section heating motion component 2.

The limit cores are electrically connected to the upper component drive motor 561. One end of the stop is connected to the lower end of the upper component mounting plate 13. When the upper component mounting plate 13 drives the stop to move and triggers the limit cores, the limit cores send a signal to control the upper component drive motor 561 to stop running, preventing equipment damage.
[0070] like Figure 14 As shown. Further, the main unit base 6 includes a support panel 62 and a fine-tuning support base 61. The support panel 62 is a rectangular plate structure made of marble. Fine-tuning support bases 61 are distributed at the bottom of the support panel 62, and are fixedly installed in the opposite direction at the perimeter and center of the support panel 62. The fine-tuning support bases 61 are used to adjust the horizontal height of the support panel 62. The bottom of the Z-axis support frame 51 and the camera's electric fine-tuning stage are fixedly connected to the support panel 62. A U-shaped groove 621 is formed at the front end of the support panel 62, with the open end of the U-shaped groove 621 penetrating the front end surface of the support panel 62. The U-shaped groove 621 is vertically spaced opposite to the lower Z-axis clamp assembly, and is used for the lower end of the tapered component to extend through.
