Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical communication engineering, and in particular to a FA fiber stripping and length setting fixture. Background Technology

[0002] FA fiber optic assemblies consist of two parts: the FA connector and the FA fiber. They are fundamental components in fiber optic communication systems used for signal transmission and connection, commonly found in optical modules, optical distribution systems, and fiber optic sensors. Their core function is to connect the fiber to other devices (such as optical modules and adapters) via the connector, enabling the transmission of optical signals. In the field of fiber optic communication, the process of stripping the outer sheath (such as coating or buffer layers) of the fiber to expose the core or cladding is called "fiber stripping," and it is a crucial step before fiber connection, splicing, or end-face treatment. Currently, fiber stripping is generally performed manually, which is inefficient.

[0003] Existing technology CN220323580U discloses an optical fiber stripping tool, including a universal base plate, a stripping block, and a clamping assembly. The stripping block is assembled with the universal base plate, and its surface has fiber placement grooves of various preset widths. A guide block is provided at the starting end of each fiber placement groove to guide the optical fiber into the groove. The clamping assembly is hinged to one side of the universal base plate and elastically snapped to the other side. When the clamping assembly is elastically snapped to the other side of the universal base plate, it is used to press the rubber sheath of the optical fiber for stripping operations. The optical fiber stripping tool provided in this application, because its stripping block has fiber placement grooves of various preset widths, and the guide block at the starting end of each fiber placement groove guides the optical fiber into the groove, and the clamping assembly is elastically snapped to the other side of the universal base plate to press the rubber sheath of the optical fiber, can stably perform stripping operations, keeping the fiber breakage rate below 1‰.

[0018] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0019] The embodiment of this application is as follows:

Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the FA fiber stripping and length fixing fixture of this utility model. Figure 3 This is a structural schematic diagram of the heating component of this utility model. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the sliding component of this utility model.

[0021] This utility model's FA fiber stripping length-fixing fixture includes a machine base 101, a base 102, a heating rod 103, a temperature sensor 104, a mounting base 105, a first cutter 106, a flip cover 107, a second cutter 108, a movable seat 109, a guide rail 110, a sliding sleeve 111, an optical fiber fixture 112, a connector fixture 113, a pressure plate 114, an air nozzle 115, a proximity switch 116, and a limit screw 117. It solves the problem that existing technologies cannot accurately strip fibers to the specified length due to varying requirements for exposed fiber length in different application scenarios, thus failing to meet diverse usage needs. It is understood that the aforementioned solution can also be used to improve fiber stripping efficiency.

[0022] In this embodiment, by installing the fiber stripping assembly on the machine 101, the problem is solved that the existing technology cannot accurately strip the fiber according to the specified length due to the different requirements for the exposed length of the optical fiber in different application scenarios, which makes it difficult to meet different usage needs.

[0023] The base 102 is fixedly connected to the machine base 101 and located on one side of the machine base 101. The heating component is mounted on the base 102. The mounting seat 105 is fixedly mounted on the top of the base 102. The first cutter 106 is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting seat 105. The flip cover 107 is rotatably mounted on the mounting seat 105. The second cutter 108 is fixedly mounted on the flip cover 107. The movable seat 109 is connected to the machine base 101 via the sliding component, which is mounted on the machine base 101 and supports the movable seat 109. The fiber optic fixture 112 is fixedly mounted on the movable seat 109. The connector fixture 113 is slidably mounted on the movable seat. On the movable seat 109, the pressure plate 114 is rotatably mounted on the movable seat 109. The base 102 is bolted to the fiber stripping table of the machine 101. The heating element is installed inside the base 102. The mounting seat 105 is bolted to the top of the base 102. The mounting seat 105 is made of a thermally conductive material. When the heating element heats up, the heat energy can be transferred to the mounting seat 105, and then the optical fiber is heated through the mounting seat 105. By heating the optical fiber, the outer sheath can be softened, making it easier to strip, while reducing the cold brittleness of the optical fiber and reducing the risk of breakage. The first cutter 106 is bolted to the side of the mounting seat 105. The flip cover 107 is rotatably mounted on the mounting seat 109 via a pin. On the base 105, the flip cover 107 is provided with a handle for flipping the cover 107. The second cutter 108 is bolted to the side of the flip cover 107. By flipping the cover 107, the second cutter 108 can cooperate with the first cutter 106 to cut the outer sheath of the optical fiber. The movable base 109 is mounted on the stripping table of the machine 101 via the sliding member. The sliding member allows the movable base 109 to move linearly on the machine 101. The optical fiber fixture 112 is mounted on the top of the movable base 109 for fixing the optical fiber. The connector fixture 113 is slidably mounted on the top of the movable base 109 for fixing the FA connection. The connector fixture 113 is equipped with positioning bolts to lock its position, allowing for adjustment. The pressure plate 114 is mounted on the movable seat 109 via a connector, enabling it to be flipped. Flipping the pressure plate 114 clamps the optical fiber onto the optical fiber fixture 112. The blower component removes residue left at the stripping location. By providing an adjustable connector fixture 113 on the movable seat 109, and combining this with the cutting action of the first cutter 106 and the second cutter 108, fiber stripping can be performed according to actual needs, solving the problem of varying bare fiber length requirements in different application scenarios.However, existing technologies cannot accurately strip fibers to the specified length, making it difficult to meet diverse usage requirements.

[0024] Secondly, the heating rod 103 is fixedly connected to the base 102 and located inside the base 102; the temperature sensor 104 is fixedly connected to the base 102 and located inside the base 102. The base 102 is also made of a thermally conductive material. The heating rod 103 is installed inside the base 102. After the heating rod 103 is powered on, since the mounting base 105 is also made of a thermally conductive material and is installed above the base 102, heat energy can be transferred to the mounting base 105 to heat it. After the optical fiber is fixed on the optical fiber fixture 112, it comes into contact with the mounting base 105, thereby heating the optical fiber. The temperature sensor can monitor the temperature in real time. The machine base 101 is equipped with a temperature regulator, which can adjust the temperature of the heating rod 103. Through the heating rod 103, the optical fiber can be heated.

[0025] Meanwhile, the guide rail 110 is fixedly connected to the machine platform 101 and is located on the side of the machine platform 101 near the base 102; the sliding sleeve 111 is slidably connected to the guide rail 110 and fixedly connected to the movable seat 109. The guide rail 110 is horizontally arranged on the stripping table of the machine platform 101 to guide the movement of the movable seat 109. The sliding sleeve 111 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 110 and fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable seat 109. Through the guide rail 110 and the sliding sleeve 111, the movable seat 109 can move linearly on the machine platform 101.

[0026] In addition, the air nozzle 115 is fixedly connected to the machine base 101 and located on the side of the machine base 101 near the first cutter 106; the proximity switch 116 is fixedly connected to the machine base 101 and located on the side of the machine base 101 near the flip cover 107. The air nozzle 115 is connected to an external air source, and the air outlet direction of the air nozzle 115 is towards the first cutter 106. The proximity switch 116 is used to control the action of the air nozzle 115. The proximity switch 116 transmits the sensing signal to the controller inside the machine base 101 through a circuit connection. The controller then drives the solenoid valve through a circuit, and finally the air blowing action is realized by the air circuit. The proximity switch 116 can sense the position of the cover plate. By opening the flip cover 107, the proximity switch 116 senses the flip cover 107, thereby triggering the air nozzle 115 to blow air and blow away the residue left at the fiber stripping position.

[0027] Finally, the limiting screw 117 is threadedly connected to the machine base 101 and is located on the side of the machine base 101 near the movable seat 109. The position can be adjusted by turning the limiting screw 117. After the side of the movable seat 109 abuts against the end of the limiting screw 117, it cannot move. The limiting screw 117 can thus limit the movable seat 109.

[0028] In this embodiment, during use, the machine 101 is turned on, the corresponding heating temperature is set, and the connector fixture 113 is fixed to the required length position. After the temperature stabilizes, the FA connector is placed into the connector fixture 113, and the FA connector is pressed against the specified position. The optical fiber is then manually arranged to be correctly placed in the groove of the optical fiber fixture 112. Then, the pressure plate 114 is flipped to press and fix the optical fiber on the optical fiber fixture 112. After that, the flip cover 107 is flipped by the handle to make the second cutter 108 cooperate with the first cutter 106 to cut the outer sheath of the optical fiber. Then, the pressure plate 114 is pressed down with the left hand and moved away from the base 102 until the optical fiber is pulled out. After that, the flip cover 107 is flipped to open it. After the proximity switch 116 senses the flip cover 107, the air nozzle 115 blows air to blow away the residue left at the stripping position, thus completing the stripping. The position of the connector fixture 113 can be adjusted according to the actual situation to meet different fiber stripping requirements. This solves the problem that existing technologies cannot accurately strip fibers according to the specified length due to different requirements for the exposed fiber length in different application scenarios, making it difficult to meet different usage needs.

[0029] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely one or more preferred embodiments of this application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this application. Those skilled in the art can understand that implementing all or part of the above embodiments and making equivalent changes in accordance with the claims of this application still fall within the scope of this application.
