Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] Optical module is the core component of fiber communication, and needs to complete tail plug -pull, jumper butt joint (need to pull the optical fiber plug of optical fiber line) and other test pretreatment operations before leaving factory. There are two schemes of "manual operation" and "traditional automation" in the current industry, but both have significant limitations. Among them, manual plug -pull has high cost, low per capita productivity and poor precision. Most of the automation adopts "tail plug -pull station + jumper butt joint station" double station design, and the equipment occupies large area, the double station structure is complex, the equipment cost is high, and the efficiency is limited. For example, the double station scheme needs two independent driving systems and transfer mechanisms, the number of parts increases by 60%-100%, the equipment procurement cost and maintenance cost increase significantly; during the equipment transfer process, multiple sets of plug -pull clamps need to be replaced, and the machine adjustment and transfer time is long; the optical module needs to be transferred between the tail plug -pull station and the jumper butt joint station, which takes extra time, and there is a risk of positioning deviation during the transfer process; the traditional double station needs to transfer the optical module between the tail plug -pull station and the jumper butt joint station, and the tail interface of the optical module is exposed to the air for a long time during the transfer and waiting process, which is easy to attract dust, fiber and other pollutants; in order to solve this problem, most production lines need to additionally configure plasma cleaning mechanism and secondary optical detection station, which not only increases the equipment investment, but also prolongs the production cycle.

[0003] In summary, in the prior art, manual plug -pull has low efficiency, high cost and poor precision; traditional automatic plug -pull has complex structure, high cost and limited efficiency, therefore, it is urgent to design a plug -pull mechanism to solve the above problems.

[0058] Wherein, the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other, the first direction is the left-right direction of plug-in mechanism, and the second direction is the up-down direction of plug-in mechanism.

[0059] As an example, the plug-in mechanism can be applied in an optical module test device, including a first clamping module 1, a plug-in module 2, a mode switching module 3, a second clamping module 4 and a third clamping module 5. When installed, the first clamping module 1 and the plug-in module 2 are arranged in a first direction, the first clamping module 1 is used to clamp the optical module 6, the second clamping module 4 is used to clamp the tail plug 7 of the optical module 6, and the third clamping module 5 is used to clamp the optical fiber plug 8. The second clamping module 4 and the third clamping module 5 are arranged in a second direction on the mode switching module 3, so that the mode switching module 3 is used to drive the second clamping module 4 and the third clamping module 5 to move in the second direction, so that the tail plug 7 or the optical fiber plug 8 is aligned with the plug-in port of the optical module 6. The mode switching module 3 is arranged on the plug-in module 2, the plug-in module 2 drives the mode switching module 3 to move in the first direction, so that the tail plug 7 is pulled out of the plug-in port of the optical module 6 or inserted into the plug-in port of the optical module 6, or the optical fiber plug 8 is inserted into the plug-in port of the optical module 6 or pulled out of the plug-in port of the optical module 6. The mode switching module 3 drives the second clamping module 4 and the third clamping module 5 to move in the second direction, so that the tail plug 7 or the optical fiber plug 8 is aligned with the plug-in port of the optical module 6. After the alignment, the plug-in module 2 drives the mode switching module 3 to move in the first direction, and the plug-in operation is completed. This step-by-step and precise operation mode can effectively avoid the problems of plug-in failure and component damage caused by inaccurate positioning, and improve the plug-in precision and success rate.

[0060] The specific operation process is as follows: (1) After the optical module 6 is clamped by the clamping mechanism, the optical module 6 is placed on the first clamping module 1, and the first clamping module 1 clamps and positions the optical module 6; (2) the plug-in module 2 drives the mode switching module 3 to move rightward in the first direction, so that the second clamping module 4 moves to the tail plug 7 of the optical module 6 and clamps the tail plug 7, the plug-in module 2 drives the mode switching module 3 to move leftward in the first direction, so that the tail plug 7 is pulled out of the plug-in port of the optical module 6, and the tail plug 7 is pulled out; (3) the mode switching module 3 drives the second clamping module 4 and the third clamping module 5 to move upward in the second direction, so that the optical fiber plug 8 is aligned with the plug-in port of the optical module 6; (4) the plug-in module 2 drives the mode switching module 3 to move rightward in the first direction, so that the optical fiber plug 8 is inserted into the plug-in port of the optical module 6; then the optical module 6 is sent to the test machine for testing; (5) after the test is completed, the plug-in module 2 drives the mode switching module 3 to move leftward in the first direction, so that the optical fiber plug 8 is pulled out of the plug-in port of the optical module 6; (6) the mode switching module 3 drives the second clamping module 4 and the third clamping module 5 to move downward in the second direction, so that the tail plug 7 is aligned with the plug-in port of the optical module 6; (7) the plug-in module 2 drives the mode switching module 3 to move rightward in the first direction, so that the tail plug 7 is inserted into the plug-in port of the optical module 6; (8) the first clamping module 1 releases the optical module 6, and the clamping mechanism takes the optical module 6 and transports it to the next process.

[0061] In this example, through the cooperation of the first clamping module 1, the plug-pull module 2, the mode switching module 3, the second clamping module 4, and the third clamping module 5, the orderly plug-pull of the tail plug 7 and the fiber plug 8 is completed in the same station. The "two-in-one" station structure simplifies the structure by combining the tail plug-pull station and the jumper butt joint station into one station. The plug-pull structure of the tail plug 7 and the plug-pull structure of the fiber plug 8 are integrated in the same station, sharing the positioning reference, completely eliminating the cross-station transfer link, reducing the transfer and switching actions, balancing precision and efficiency, reducing the time of the plug-pull port of the optical module 6 exposed to the air, reducing NG, facilitating debugging, improving compatibility, sharing the positioning reference in a single station, and only needing to calibrate once when replacing the model of the optical module 6, shortening the debugging time to 5-10 minutes, and being suitable for SFP, QSFP full series packaging types.

Precise positioning and fast mode switching make the entire plug-pull process more concise and efficient, compared with traditional manual operation or simple tool-assisted operation, which can significantly shorten the operation time, improve production efficiency and work rhythm. Through the two-in-one mechanism module, plug and play, efficiency is improved, and equipment cost is reduced.

In addition, by controlling the stroke of the plug-in cylinder 21, the movement distance of the plug-in slide plate 22 in the plug-in rail 23 can be flexibly adjusted, thereby changing the plug-in stroke of the mode switching module 3 and the clamping module thereon, so that the plug-in mechanism can adapt to the plug-in requirements of optical modules 6 of different length specifications without the need for large-scale modification or replacement of components, greatly improving the versatility and flexibility of the mechanism.
