Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical fiber terminal production technology, specifically to an optical fiber terminal adhesive removal and polishing device. Background Technology

[0002] Fiber optic terminals are accessories used to achieve electrical connections. They are plastic interface terminals used in fiber optic communication to connect and interlock with the female socket of a fiber optic connector, enabling the transmission of fiber optic signals. Industrially, they are classified as connectors. With increasing industrial automation and more stringent and precise industrial control requirements, the use of terminal blocks is gradually rising.

[0003] Existing adhesive removal and polishing equipment requires three to four sets of sanding discs, with each set having increasingly finer grinding capabilities, making it suitable for more precise polishing of fiber optic terminals.

[0004] However, this necessitates manual removal of the fiber optic terminals after each set of sanding discs has been used for polishing, followed by placement in the next set of discs for further polishing. Furthermore, simultaneous polishing with all three sets of discs is not possible; each set of fiber optic terminals must be manually polished three times before the next batch is processed, resulting in a slow polishing process. To address these issues, this invention provides a fiber optic terminal adhesive removal and polishing device. Utility Model Content

[0021] This application provides an optical fiber terminal adhesive removal and polishing device, which solves the problem that after polishing the optical fiber terminals with one set of sanding discs, manual assistance is required to remove them and place them in the next set of sanding discs for polishing again. Furthermore, it is not possible to polish three sets of sanding discs at the same time, and manual polishing of one set of optical fiber terminals is required three times before polishing the next batch of optical fiber terminals, resulting in a slow polishing process.

[0022] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0023] This utility model discloses an adhesive removal and polishing device for optical fiber terminals.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] According to the appendix Figure 1-5 As shown,

[0026] The system includes a base 1, on which a water sprayer 11 is mounted. The base 1 also includes an upper pressure grinding mechanism 2, a fixed upper seat 3, and a fiber optic terminal transmission assembly 4. The upper pressure grinding mechanism 2 includes a grinding disc 26 and a support block 28. The grinding disc 26 is used to grind the fiber optic terminals. A support pin 31 is fixedly connected inside the fixed upper seat 3. The fiber optic terminal transmission assembly 4 includes a conveyor 41 and a fiber optic terminal placement tray 42. The conveyor 41 drives the fiber optic terminal placement tray 42 for transmission. The fiber optic terminal placement tray 42 is used to place the fiber optic terminals to be ground. The support block 28 supports the fiber optic terminal placement tray 42 upwards. The support pin 31 is used to support the fiber optic terminal placement tray 42 downwards, and the water sprayer 11 is used to clean the bottom of the fiber optic terminal placement tray 42. During use, the feeding mechanism places the fiber optic terminal placement tray 42 on the conveyor 41 and moves it. After moving it above the grinding disc 26, it moves upwards under the drive of the support block 28 and abuts against the support pin 31 for grinding. After grinding, the support block 28 moves downwards to restore its original position and is placed on the conveyor 41 to continue transmission. When the fiber optic terminal placement tray 42 passes through the water sprayer 11, the bottom of the tray can be cleaned to prevent the residue left after polishing from adhering to the bottom of the fiber optic terminal placement tray 42.

[0027] The upper pressure grinding mechanism 2 also includes a cylinder 21, a support column 22, and a grinding seat 23. The cylinder 21 is fixedly connected to the base 1, and the support column 22 is fixedly connected to the power output end of the cylinder 21. Three sets of grinding seats 23 are provided, and each grinding seat 23 is fixedly connected to the side end of the support column 22. The cylinder 21 is used to drive the grinding seat 23 to move upwards. The upper pressure grinding mechanism 2 also includes a limit rod 24 and a servo motor 25. The limit rod 24 is fixedly connected to the grinding seat 23. 4. Two sets are provided. The support block 28 is slidably connected to the limit rod 24. The servo motor 25 is installed in the grinding seat 23. The grinding disc 26 is fixedly connected to the power output end of the servo motor 25. The eccentric shaft of the grinding disc 26 rotates on the servo motor 25. The upper pressure grinding mechanism 2 also includes a spring 27. One end of the spring 27 is fixedly connected to the grinding seat 23, and the other end of the spring 27 is fixedly connected to the support block 28. The support block 28 has a limit groove 281.

[0028] When the upper pressure grinding mechanism 2 is running, the cylinder 21 drives the support column 22 and the grinding seat 23 to move upward, causing the support block 28 to move upward and first contact the fiber optic terminal placement tray 42. The fiber optic terminal placement tray 42 gradually slides down to the bottom end in the limiting groove 281 for fixation and continues to move upward until it abuts against the upper support pin 31. At this time, the cylinder 21 continues to act upward, causing the spring 27 to contract inward until the grinding sand disc 26 abuts against the fiber optic terminal placement tray 42 and grinding begins. The spring 27 is designed to prevent the grinding sand disc 26 from abutting too tightly against the fiber optic terminal placement tray 42, which could cause structural damage. The contact between the support block 28 and the fiber optic terminal placement tray 42 prevents the fiber optic terminal placement tray 42 from sliding together with the grinding sand disc 26 under the action of the grinding sand disc 26.

[0029] Example 2

[0030] Based on Example 1, according to Appendix Figure 1-5 As shown,

[0031] The conveyor 41 is fixedly connected to the base 1. A stop block 411 is fixedly connected to the conveyor belt of the conveyor 41. The stop blocks 411 are arranged in an array on the conveyor belt of the conveyor 41. The stop blocks 411 are used to drive the optical fiber terminal placement disk 42 to move.

[0032] The fiber optic terminal placement tray 42 has support arms 421 fixedly connected to both ends. The support arms 421 are set on the conveyor 41 and are set in the limiting groove 281. The limiting groove 281 is used to drive the support arms 421 to move upward and abut against the support pin 31.

[0033] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims.
