Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of communication construction equipment technology, and specifically to a high-efficiency welding bracket. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, high-altitude fiber optic fusion splicing operations mainly rely on fixed supports or manual hand operation. Fiber optic fusion splicing work in environments such as utility poles, communication towers, and rooftops often presents the following technical problems.
[0003] Fixed bracket installation is cumbersome, requiring straps, magnetic attachments, or bolts for fixation. This results in low deployment efficiency in high-altitude environments such as towers and rooftops. Furthermore, its poor mobility necessitates repeated disassembly and reassembly of the bracket during multi-point operations, making it impossible to maintain the stability of the fusion splicer while climbing or moving. This leads to overall low fusion splicing efficiency. Additionally, manual handheld operation at heights requires the operator to hold the fusion splicer with one hand while manipulating the optical fiber with the other, performing tasks such as stripping, cleaning, and clamping the fiber. This increases the difficulty of the operation and significantly reduces efficiency.
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, there is an urgent need for a new type of wearable high-altitude welding support to improve the construction efficiency and stability of high-altitude welding operations. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0033] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.
[0034] Example:
[0035] This invention provides a high-efficiency fusion splicing bracket, mainly used in high-altitude fusion splicing operations and emergency repairs in complex environments. This wearable bracket solution offers flexibility and speed; however, compared to existing fixed brackets, it sacrifices the ability to provide stable horizontal support for the fusion splicer 80. Since wearable bracket platforms are difficult to maintain horizontally for extended periods during high-altitude operations, this product's bracket solution is primarily designed for use with fusion splicers 80 equipped with internal active compensation technology to ensure good splicing quality. For example, the fusion splicer 80 (TYPE-82C) features a built-in gyroscope that uses a motor to fine-tune the fiber optic clamp position, compensating for tilt within ±15°. With the "dynamic calibration" mode activated, even if the bracket tilts by 10°, the fusion splicer 80 can still automatically align with the fiber core.
[0036] Reference Figure 1-6 The following is a detailed description of the structural composition of this product:
[0037] The wearable support body of this product includes a chest strap body 10 that can be worn on the upper body, a support plate 30 for placing and fixing a welding machine 80, and a connector 20 for connecting the two. The connector 20 is vertically arranged on the front side of the chest strap body 10, and the ends of the shoulder strap 11 and waist belt 12 are respectively fixedly connected to the connector 20.
[0038] The chest strap body 10 includes a pair of adjustable shoulder straps 11 and a waist belt 12. The shoulder straps 11 and waist belt 12 are relatively wide knitted straps. Both the shoulder straps 11 and waist belt 12 are equipped with adjustable buckles 13 to accommodate workers of different body types. The connector 20 is a thin-walled metal piece with bent portions 21 on both sides. This product is made of 2mm 304 stainless steel plate. The connector 20 has a first groove 22 on the upper side for fixing the shoulder straps 11, and a second groove 23 on the bent portion 21 for fixing the waist belt 12. The waist belt 12 also has a pluggable connecting buckle for easy wearing and removal.
[0039] The support plate 30, which can rotate 90°, is movably mounted on the front side of the connector 20. It can be rotated to a horizontal position and is perpendicular to the front side of the connector 20. In the vertical position, its main body fits snugly against the connector 20, making it convenient to store and carry. The outer end of the support plate 30 is provided with an adjustable limiting body 70, which forms a clamping space for the welding machine 80 between the limiting body 70 and the front side of the connector 20, ensuring the stability of the welding machine 80 during welding operations.
[0040] In addition, to improve the ease of operation during high-altitude work, a pair of dedicated clamping points are provided for the fiber cores that require stripping, cleaning, and clamping. This solves the problem of hand occupation when splicing fibers on both sides is required during actual operations. At the same time, proper placement also avoids damage to the fiber cores caused by improper gripping during operations. Openable clamping fasteners 50 are provided on the sides of the support plate 30, and the clamping fasteners 50 can slide out along the side of the support plate 30.
[0041] The wearable support platform in this solution can effectively provide a fixed and stable support platform for the welding machine 80 during high-altitude operations. The wearable design of the support body allows for flexible and convenient movement during high-altitude operations. Furthermore, the overall support assembly is simple, efficient, and convenient, greatly improving the overall welding operation efficiency.
[0042] Furthermore, the design of the clamping fastener 50 can effectively and reliably fix the optical fiber core during the fusion splicing process, effectively freeing up the hands and improving the work efficiency of single-person fusion splicing operations at high altitudes.
[0043] The following is a description of preferred embodiments for each component in this example.
[0044] To avoid the risk of the fixed welding machine 80 coming off or falling off during high-frequency or large-amplitude movements, in this embodiment, an anti-detachment auxiliary strap 14 is preferably fixed on the outer side of one end of the connector 20. The end of the anti-detachment auxiliary strap 14 is provided with a spring hook 15. By using the carrying handle of the welding machine 80, the spring hooks 15 on both sides are hooked onto the corresponding hooks of the welding machine 80. Even if the welding machine 80 accidentally comes off from the limiting body 70, the anti-detachment auxiliary strap 14 will be used to prevent the welding machine 80 from being cornered by the chest strap body, thus ensuring the safety of operation.
[0045] The design for the support plate 30 to rotate 90° on the front side of the connector 20 also includes a hinge seat 40. In this embodiment, the hinge seat 40, support plate 30, and clamping fastener 50 are all made of ABS injection molded parts, ensuring stable strength while reducing the weight of the main body of the bracket. The hinge seat 40 is fixed to the bottom of the front side of the connector 20 with screws. The main body of the hinge seat 40 is a trapezoidal body that is narrower at the bottom and wider at the top. Its top surface is flat, which can effectively position and support the support plate 30 when it is rotated to a horizontal position. A protruding hinge shaft is fixedly formed on the top surface, and the inner end of the support plate 30 is rotatably connected to the hinge shaft.
[0046] To better accommodate the clamping and fixing of the welding machine 80, this embodiment preferably designs the limiting body 70 to have a certain degree of spatial adjustment capability. Specifically, a through stepped slide groove 31 is symmetrically opened near the outer end of the support plate 30. A slider 33 is slidably arranged in the stepped slide groove 31, and a movable seat 34 is fixed at the bottom of the slider 33. The limiting body 70 can move with the movable seat 34. A downwardly protruding boss 35 is fixed at the outer end of the support plate 30. The boss 35 has a threaded hole 36 in the same direction as the movement of the movable seat 34. A locking bolt 60 is threaded into the threaded hole 36. When clamping the welding machine 80, the position of the movable seat 34 is first adjusted adaptively, and the welding machine 80 is placed between the limiting body 70 and the front side of the connector 20. Then, the movable seat 34 is tightened by the locking bolt 60, so that the limiting body 70 firmly presses and fixes the welding machine 80. The self-locking characteristic of the thread provides better fixing stability.
[0047] Meanwhile, since existing welding machines 80 are mostly designed with wide bases to improve placement stability, the limiting body 70 in this embodiment has a special design. The limiting body 70 consists of a pair of curved metal rods. The main body of the metal rods is set on the outer side of the outer end of the support plate 30, making it more adaptable to clamping. The upper end of the metal rods is connected by a crossbar, which is covered with a silicone layer. The lower end is fixed on the movable seat 34. In use, the crossbar end is pressed against the surface of the welding machine 80. Utilizing the characteristics of the curved metal rod, a certain degree of elastic deformation makes the clamping and fixing of the welding machine 80 more stable.
[0048] To facilitate temporary clamping and placement of the optical fiber core, the clamping fastener 50 is designed to include a first pressure plate 51 and a second pressure plate 52 that are hinged to each other at one end. The other ends of the first pressure plate 51 and the second pressure plate 52 are engaged with a snap-fit mechanism. A clamping groove 53 is provided at the joint surface of the first pressure plate 51 and the second pressure plate 52. A silicone pad is attached to the clamping groove 53. The silicone pad can improve the clamping stability and avoid damage to the optical fiber core.
[0049] Meanwhile, to allow for ample space for operation, a set of sliding rods 54 are fixed on the second pressure plate 52 located on the inner side. The support plate 30 is provided with a slide rail 37 that fits with the sliding rods 54 with a clearance. The clamping fastener 50 moves outward from the support plate 30 via the sliding rods 54. In this embodiment, the clamping fastener 50 flips and unfolds together with the support plate 30. A receiving groove 32 for embedding the clamping fastener 50 is provided on the side of the support plate 30. When the support plate 30 is in a horizontal position, the clamping groove 53 of the clamping fastener 50 is also open at the top and bottom. In use, the stripped fiber core on one side is placed and clamped in the middle of the clamping fastener 50, freeing up both hands to facilitate processing or adjusting the fiber core on the other side.
[0050] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the protection scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
