Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an optical fiber laying machine, and more specifically, to an optical fiber laying machine. Background Technology

[0002] Optical fiber, as a signal transmission link, has the characteristics of high transmission speed, large bandwidth, stable transmission speed, high precision, and strong anti-interference ability, and is widely used in various industries. In the field of power electronics applications, the consumption of optical fiber is even greater, and the required length varies. Currently, the production process generally involves two people working together to straighten the optical fiber from the reel and simultaneously measure it with a tape measure to cut it to the appropriate length according to actual needs. In practice, one person stands at the origin while the other is responsible for straightening the optical fiber. Each time a fiber is straightened and measured, the corresponding distance must be run according to the length of the fiber, which is inefficient and has seriously affected the fiber manufacturing process. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an optical fiber laying machine.

[0004] This utility model discloses an optical fiber laying machine, comprising a frame, a control box, a servo motor, a synchronous belt, and an operating table. The frame is elongated, with the operating table located on the outer side of the front end of the frame, and the control box located above the front end of the frame. The servo motor is fixed to the front end of the frame, and the operating table is used to place the optical fiber reel. The machine is characterized by: a profile track fixed along its length at the upper end of the frame, a slide table above the profile track, a slider cooperating with the profile track fixed on the slide table, and a thumb cylinder for clamping the optical fiber fixed on the slide table; the synchronous belt is arranged along the length of the frame, a pulley cooperating with the synchronous belt is fixed on the output shaft of the servo motor, the slide table is fixed on the synchronous belt, and a slot for storing the cut optical fiber is fixed on the outer side of the support.

[0005] The fiber optic cable laying machine of this utility model has an inlet bracket above the front end of the cable tray. The inlet bracket is fixed on the frame and has an inlet hole for the fiber optic cable to pass through.

[0006] The fiber optic cable laying machine of this utility model has a cable chain on the outside of the frame for placing drive cables and air pipes, and a cable chain bracket fixed on the frame to support the cable chain.

[0007] The fiber optic cable laying machine of this utility model has a cable tray composed of several continuously arranged U-shaped plates. A cable tray support is fixed on the frame to support the U-shaped plates. A rubber strip is fixed on the outer edge of the end of the U-shaped plate to prevent the fiber optic cable from being scratched.

[0008] The fiber optic cable laying machine of this utility model has a frame composed of spaced-apart legs. Each leg is composed of a crossbeam and a vertical beam fixed to the crossbeam. The top of the vertical beam is fixed with a track support for supporting the profile track. The two ends of the crossbeam are provided with feet for height adjustment.

[0009] The fiber optic cable laying machine of this utility model has a control board in the control box for controlling the operation of the fiber optic direction machine, and a display screen and start, stop and emergency stop buttons on the control box.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The fiber optic cable laying machine of this utility model is equipped with a frame, control box, operating table, servo motor, synchronous belt, slide table, profile track, thumb cylinder, and cable groove. A slider that cooperates with the profile track is fixed on the slide table, and the slide table is fixed to the synchronous belt. The thumb cylinder is fixed on the slide table. In use, the fiber optic coil is placed on the operating table, and the operator controls the operation of the laying machine through the control box. The thumb cylinder clamps the fiber tip, and the servo motor drives the thumb cylinder to move via the synchronous belt, realizing the straightening and cutting of the required fiber. It can be seen that in the fiber cutting process, this utility model's fiber optic cable laying machine reduces the need for two people to operate, changes the simultaneous movement of the operator and fiber to only fiber movement, and replaces manual measurement of the fiber with automatic measurement by the servo motor. This reduces manpower requirements, alleviates labor intensity, avoids deviations in manual measurement data, achieves semi-automatic control, and greatly improves the efficiency and accuracy of fiber cutting. Its beneficial effects are significant and worthy of promotion. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the front view, top view, left view, and perspective view of the fiber optic cable laying machine of this utility model are given respectively. Figure 5 and Figure 6 All images show enlarged views of the fiber optic cable laying machine, which consists of a frame 1, an operating table 7, a servo motor 3, a profile track 4, a slide table 5, a synchronous belt 13, and an operating box 2. The frame 1 is elongated and serves to fix and support the fiber optic cable. The operating table 7 is located at the front of the front end of the frame 1 and is used to place the fiber optic coil. The operating box 2 is located above the front end of the frame 1, and the operator controls the entire fiber optic cable laying machine through the operating box 2 to cut the fiber optic cable to the appropriate length. The profile track 4 is fixed to the upper end of the frame 1 along its length. The slide table 5 is located above the profile track 4, and a slider 15 that cooperates with the profile track 4 is fixed on the slide table 5. The cooperation between the slider 5 and the profile track 4 ensures that the slide table 5 can slide freely along the length of the profile track 4.

[0020] The servo motor 3 is fixed to the front end of the frame 1. The synchronous belt 13 is annular and is arranged along the length of the frame 1. A pulley that mates with the synchronous belt 13 is fixed on the output shaft of the servo motor 3. The slide table 5 is fixedly connected to the synchronous belt 13. A thumb cylinder 8 for clamping optical fibers is fixed on the slide table 5. Figure 7 The diagram shows the structure of the thumb cylinder in this invention. The thumb cylinder 8 is equipped with two grippers 22, which clamp the optical fiber. Thus, driven by the servo motor 3, the slide table 5 and the thumb cylinder 8 move back and forth via the synchronous belt 13 to pull the optical fiber from the optical fiber reel to the required cutting length.

[0021] To ensure that the optical fiber on the optical fiber coil is stretched into a straight shape by the thumb cylinder 8, the front end of the frame 1 shown is provided with an inlet bracket 6. The inlet bracket 6 is provided with multiple rows of inlet holes 16. The optical fiber is stretched into a straight line after passing through the inlet holes 16, so as to ensure accurate measurement of its length after stretching.

[0022] Meanwhile, to facilitate the storage of the cut optical fibers, a cable tray 10 is provided on the right side of the rack 1 shown. The cable tray 10 is located below the cable inlet bracket 6, and the cut optical fibers fall into the cable tray 10 below. The cable tray 10 shown is composed of multiple U-shaped plates arranged at continuous intervals. A cable tray bracket 14 is fixed on the rack 1 to fix the U-shaped plates. In order to prevent the optical fibers from being damaged during the process of being pulled out of the cable tray 10, rubber strips 17 are provided on the outer edges of both ends of the U-shaped plates shown.

[0023] Since the operation of the thumb cylinder 8 requires the use of an air circuit, and the opening and closing of the air circuit requires the use of a solenoid valve, it is necessary to set up a drive cable and air pipe that follow the reciprocating motion of the slide table 5. Therefore, a drag chain 9 is set on the outside of the frame 1, the drive cable and air pipe are placed in the drag chain 9, and a drag chain bracket 12 is set on the frame 1 to support the drag chain 9.

[0024] The length of the frame 1 is manufactured according to the maximum length of the actual optical fiber used. The frame 1 consists of several spaced-apart legs, each leg consisting of a crossbeam 19 and a vertical beam 18 fixed to the crossbeam 19. Both ends of the crossbeam 19 are equipped with feet 20, which not only provide support but also allow for height adjustment of the legs. The vertical beams 18 on adjacent legs are fixedly connected by longitudinal braces 21 to ensure the stability of the frame 1. The upper end of the vertical beam 18 is fixed with a track support 11, and the profile track 4 is fixed on the track support 11.

[0025] The control box 2 shown contains a control panel, a display screen, and start, stop, and emergency stop buttons. The operator controls the entire fiber optic cable laying machine through the control box 2. In use, the fiber optic coil is placed on the operating table 7. The front end of the fiber optic cable passes through the inlet hole 16 on the inlet bracket 6 and is held by the thumb cylinder 8. The servo motor 3 drives the slide table 5 and the thumb cylinder 8 via the synchronous belt 13 to pull the fiber optic cable to the required length, and then it is cut. The cut fiber optic cable falls into the cable tray 10 for temporary storage.
