Description

Technical Field

[0002] With the rapid development of optical fiber communication technology, the requirements for the accuracy, efficiency, and consistency of optical fiber winding are becoming increasingly stringent. Automatic optical fiber winding machines have emerged as a result, and guide wheels play a crucial role in this process. They need to precisely guide the optical fiber along a predetermined trajectory to ensure the quality of the winding. However, traditional guide wheels are mostly fixed in place during use, making it difficult to adjust them vertically or horizontally. This significantly reduces the adaptability and flexibility of the equipment, while also lowering the quality and efficiency of optical fiber winding, thereby increasing equipment maintenance costs and the risk of optical fiber damage. Therefore, a fiber guide wheel mechanism for an automatic optical fiber winding machine is proposed. Utility Model Content

When the rack moves upwards, it drives the guide wheel to move along with it through the housing. Alternatively, a motor can be started to drive the guide wheel to rotate through the action of a drive gear and a driven gear. By adjusting the height and guide angle of the guide wheel, this invention solves the problem that traditional guide wheels are mostly fixed in place, making it difficult to adjust vertically or horizontally, significantly reducing the adaptability and flexibility of the equipment. It also reduces the quality and efficiency of fiber optic winding, thereby increasing equipment maintenance costs and the risk of fiber damage.

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.

[0036] Please see Figures 1-6As shown, this utility model is a fiber optic guide wheel mechanism for an automatic fiber optic winding machine, including a winding machine body 111, an adjustment part 2 installed on the top of the winding machine body 111, used to adjust the guide of the fiber optic cable vertically or horizontally; and a limiting part 3 located at the bottom of the adjustment part 2, used to support and limit the fiber optic cable.

The adjustment part 2 includes a support component 21 for supporting the fiber optic cable, a vertical adjustment component 22 connected to the support component 21 for adjusting the tension of the fiber optic cable, and a swing adjustment component. The section component 23 and the swing adjustment component 23 are located outside the up-down adjustment component 22. The up-down adjustment component 22 is used to adjust the direction of the optical fiber. The adjustment part 2 adjusts the path and tension of the optical fiber, improving the working efficiency and quality of the winding machine body 111.

The compression is applied, and the spring 316 generates a certain rebound force, driving the limit bracket 312 to reset. When the limit bracket 312 resets, it drives the clamping roller 313 to move together. At this time, the clamping roller 313 will contact the surface of the optical fiber, thereby achieving flexible clamping of the optical fiber. It can clamp optical fibers of different sizes, reducing the possibility of the optical fiber falling out of the guide wheel 213 due to external force. The support component 21 includes a support frame 211, which is connected to the winding machine body 111.

The swing adjustment assembly 23 includes a support sleeve 233, the right side of which is welded to the left side of the support frame 222. The bottom of the outer surface of the knob 224 contacts a protective cover 232. A drive gear 235 is provided on the right side inside the protective cover 232.

The bottom output end of the motor 231 is connected to the inside of the driving gear 235 via a coupling. The bottom of the protective cover 232 is welded to the top of the support frame 211. The outer surface of the convex ring 236 is rotatably connected to the inside of the support frame 211. A convex strip is provided on the inner wall of the support sleeve 233. A groove matching the convex strip is opened on the outer surface of the rack 221. (Clamping assembly) 31 includes four fixed brackets 311, which are welded to the exterior of the housing 212. Each pair of fixed brackets 311 is arranged as a group. The two fixed brackets 311 on the left side each have a limit bracket 312 on their corresponding sides. A clamping roller 313 is connected internally to the limit bracket 312 on the left side via a pin. A sliding rod 314 is welded to the side of the limit bracket 312 away from the clamping roller 313. Limit rods 315 are provided at the top and bottom of the sliding rod 314. The right side of the positioning rod 315 is welded to the left side of the limiting bracket 312. A spring 316 is sleeved on the outer surface of the sliding rod 314. The outer surfaces of the sliding rod 314 and the two limiting rods 315 are slidably connected to the inside of the fixed bracket 311. The side of the spring 316 away from the fixed bracket 311 is connected to the side of the limiting bracket 312 away from the clamping roller 313, and the side of the spring 316 away from the limiting bracket 312 is connected to the side of the fixed bracket 311 close to the limiting bracket 312. Several fixed brackets 311 have identical connected components.

[0037] A specific application of this embodiment is as follows: In use, the optical fiber is first passed through the top of the guide wheel 213 and then through the two sets of clamping rollers 313. At this time, the clamping rollers 313 are subjected to force, which will drive the limiting bracket 312 to move. When the limiting bracket 312 moves, it will drive the sliding rod 314 and the limiting rod 315 to move. At the same time, the sliding rod 314 and the limiting rod 315 will slide inside the fixed bracket 311. When the limiting bracket 312 moves, it will compress the spring 316. The spring 316 will contract and store force due to the limiting effect of the inner wall of the fixed bracket 311. At the same time, the spring 316 will generate a certain rebound force and drive the limiting bracket 312 to reset. When the limiting bracket 312 resets, it will drive the clamping rollers 313 to move together. At this time, the clamping rollers 313 will contact the surface of the optical fiber, thereby realizing flexible clamping of the optical fiber. At the same time, it can clamp optical fibers of different sizes, reducing the possibility of the optical fiber falling out of the guide wheel 213 due to external force.

[0038] During fiber optic transmission, operators can rotate knob 224 clockwise to drive gear 223. The rotation of gear 223 causes rack 221 to move upwards. As rack 221 moves upwards, it slides inside support sleeve 233. A groove is provided on the outside of rack 221, and a protrusion is provided inside support sleeve 233, with the groove and protrusion fitting together. When rack 221 moves upwards, it drives guide wheel 213 to move along with it via housing 212, thus adjusting the tension of the light beam. Simultaneously, motor 231 can be started to drive drive gear 235 to rotate. The rotation of drive gear 235 drives driven gear 234 to move along with it. When the machine rotates, it drives the support sleeve 233 to rotate as well. Simultaneously, the rotation of the support sleeve 233 drives the convex ring 236 to rotate inside the support frame 211. The convex ring 236 provides support to the support sleeve 233 through the support frame 211. During the rotation of the support sleeve 233, it drives the rack 221 to rotate, thereby adjusting the guide wheel 213. By adjusting the height and guide angle of the guide wheel 213, not only is the adaptability and flexibility of the equipment improved, but the quality and efficiency of fiber winding are also optimized. These functions enable the winding machine body 111 to efficiently and accurately complete fiber winding tasks of various specifications, while reducing equipment maintenance costs and the risk of fiber damage, demonstrating significant practical application value.
