Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical cable grease filling technology, and in particular to an optical cable grease filling device. Background Technology

[0002] During long-term use, the penetration of moisture and humidity can degrade the transmission performance of optical cables, even rendering them unusable. Therefore, during the manufacturing process of communication optical cables, grease needs to be filled between the cable cores to prevent moisture intrusion, ensuring good waterproof performance and extending the service life of the cable.

[0003] A search revealed that Chinese Patent Publication No. CN206601512U discloses a device for filling optical cable grease, relating to the field of optical cable manufacturing. The device includes a grease filling tube, a grease shielding component, and a position adjusting component. The grease shielding component is a baffle fixed to the lower end of the grease filling tube, arranged along the length of the grease filling tube, and a space for a metal strip to travel along the length of the grease filling tube is provided below the baffle. The position adjusting component includes a vertical telescopic tube fixed to the upper end of the grease filling tube and a horizontal telescopic tube fixed to the side of the vertical telescopic tube. This device can effectively improve the cleanliness and orderliness of the optical cable grease filling process.

[0004] However, in the existing technology, when performing grease filling, most methods involve passing an optical fiber bundle through a grease-filled coating mechanism to uniformly coat the outside of the optical fiber bundle. During device use, in order to ensure the coating effect of the optical fiber bundle, grease needs to be continuously injected into the coating mechanism. However, air bubbles are prone to appear in the grease during transportation. If the grease is directly introduced into the coating mechanism, the air bubbles will also affect the coating work. A solution is proposed to solve the problems mentioned in the background technology. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, one embodiment of this utility model includes a coating mechanism 1. A tank 3 is mounted on the upper end of the coating mechanism 1. An input pipe 4 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the tank 3. A conveying mechanism 7 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the tank 3. The output end of the conveying mechanism 7 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the coating mechanism 1. Two fixing rods 2 are fixedly connected to both sides of the upper end of the coating mechanism 1. The upper ends of the two fixing rods 2 are respectively fixedly connected to both sides of the tank 3. A defoaming mechanism is provided inside the tank 3. The defoaming mechanism includes a rotating rod 14, the upper end of which rotates relative to the upper end of the tank 3. The upper end of the tank body 3 is fixedly connected to a reduction motor 5, the output end of the reduction motor 5 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rotating rod 14, the lower end of the rotating rod 14 is fixedly connected to a scraper 17, both sides of the rotating rod 14 are fixedly connected to movable rods 13, one end of each movable rod 13 is rotatably connected to a stirring rod 15, a toothed ring 20 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the inside of the tank body 3, the upper ends of each of the two stirring rods 15 are fixedly connected to gears 12, the outer surfaces of the two gears 12 respectively mesh with the inner surfaces of the toothed ring 20, and heating rods 16 are uniformly fixedly connected inside the tank body 3.

[0032] In this embodiment, before the grease is fed into the coating mechanism 1, it can be temporarily stored in the tank 3. At this time, the geared motor 5 at the upper end of the tank 3 can drive the rotating rod 14 to rotate, thereby driving the movable rods 13 on both sides to move. At this time, the stirring rod 15 at the end of the movable rod 13 will also move. Since the gear 12 and the toothed ring 20 are meshed, the stirring rod 15 can rotate while moving, stirring the grease in the tank 3. At the same time, the heating rod 16 can heat the grease. Through the action of slow stirring and heating, the air bubbles in the grease can be eliminated. The processed grease can then be fed into the coating mechanism 1 through the conveying mechanism 7. The scraper 17 at the lower end of the rotating rod 14 can effectively improve the conveying efficiency of the grease and improve its feeding efficiency. In this way, before the grease is fed into the coating mechanism 1, the defoaming mechanism in the tank 3 can eliminate the air bubbles in the grease, avoiding the air bubbles from entering the coating mechanism 1 and affecting the coating effect of the optical fiber bundle.

[0033] Example 2, as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, support rods 6 are fixedly connected to all four sides of the tank body 3. A collection trough 8 is provided at the lower end of the coating mechanism 1. A discharge pipe 19 is fixedly connected to one side of the lower end of the collection trough 8. Two fixing rods 11 are fixedly connected to all four sides of the collection trough 8. One end of each of the four fixing rods 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the four support rods 6. A scraper 18 is slidably connected inside the collection trough 8. A drive motor 9 is fixedly connected to one end of the collection trough 8. A lead screw 10 is rotatably connected to one side of the upper end of the collection trough 8. The outer surface of the lead screw 10 is threadedly connected to one side of the upper end of the scraper 18. A sliding rod 21 is fixedly connected to the other side of the upper end of the collection trough 8. The outer surface of the sliding rod 21 is slidably connected to the other side of the upper end of the scraper 18.

[0034] In this embodiment, after the optical fiber bundle is coated with grease, the material leveling mechanism on one side of the coating mechanism 1 will perform material leveling on the grease outside the optical fiber bundle. The excess grease scraped off can fall into the collection tank 8. When collecting the grease in the collection tank 8, the drive motor 9 can be started to drive the lead screw 10 to rotate. The rotating lead screw 10 can drive the scraper 18 to move on the inner wall of the collection tank 8, pushing the grease in the collection tank 8 to the discharge pipe 19. This method makes it more convenient and faster to collect the grease in the future, and also improves the efficiency of the subsequent grease collection work.

[0035] Working principle: Before the paste is fed into the coating mechanism 1, it can be temporarily stored in the tank 3. At this time, the geared motor 5 at the upper end of the tank 3 drives the rotating rod 14 to rotate, which in turn drives the movable rods 13 on both sides to move. At this time, the stirring rod 15 at the end of the movable rod 13 also moves accordingly. Due to the meshing between the gear 12 and the toothed ring 20, the stirring rod 15 can rotate while moving, stirring the paste in the tank 3. At the same time, the heating rod 16 can heat the paste. Through the action of slow stirring and heating, air bubbles in the paste can be eliminated. The processed paste can then be fed into the coating mechanism 1 through the conveying mechanism 7. The scraper 17 at the lower end of the rotating rod 14 can effectively improve the conveying efficiency of the paste and increase its discharge rate. This method improves efficiency by eliminating air bubbles in the grease before it is introduced into the coating mechanism 1 using a defoaming mechanism inside the tank 3. This prevents air bubbles from affecting the coating effect of the optical fiber bundle. After the grease is coated, the material leveling mechanism on one side of the coating mechanism 1 levels the grease outside the optical fiber bundle. Excess grease scraped off falls into the collection tank 8. When collecting the grease in the collection tank 8, the drive motor 9 is started to rotate the lead screw 10. The rotating lead screw 10 moves the scraper 18 along the inner wall of the collection tank 8, pushing the grease in the collection tank 8 toward the discharge pipe 19. This method makes subsequent grease collection more convenient and faster, and also improves the efficiency of subsequent grease collection work.
