[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an ink curing degree detection device, comprising a base, a reciprocating assembly fixedly connected to the top surface of the base, a clamping assembly fixedly connected to one end of the reciprocating assembly, a frame fixedly connected to the top surface of the base, an alcohol wipe fixedly connected to the top surface of the frame, an equipment plate provided on the top surface of the base, and an infrared counter fixedly connected to the side of the equipment plate.
[0007] The reciprocating assembly includes a base plate fixedly connected to the top surface of the base, a drive motor fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the base plate, a drive wheel fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor, a transmission belt sleeved on the side of the drive wheel, a driven wheel sleeved at one end of the transmission belt, both the drive wheel and the driven wheel passing through the base plate and both fixedly connected to a quarter gear, a transmission rod meshing on the side of the quarter gear, and support plates slidably connected to both ends of the transmission rod, with the support plates respectively fixedly connected to both ends of the base;
[0008] The clamping assembly includes a clamping block fixedly connected to one end of the transmission rod, an extension rod fixedly connected to the side of the clamping block, another clamping block fixedly connected to one end of the extension rod, wire through holes opened on the sides of both clamping blocks, a threaded hole through the wire through hole opened on the top surface of the clamping block, a screw rod threadedly connected inside the threaded hole, and a rubber block fixedly connected to the bottom end of the screw rod.
[0009] In one specific embodiment, the two ends of the transmission rod are slidably connected to the internal grooves of two support plates, the cross-sectional shape of the grooves matches the end shape of the transmission rods, and the grooves are provided with a friction-reducing coating.
[0010] In a specific embodiment, the two quarter gears mesh with the racks on the left and right sides of the transmission rod, respectively, and the transmission rod achieves bidirectional equidistant reciprocating motion under the alternating drive of the quarter gears.
[0011] In a specific embodiment, the cable pass-through port of the clamping block is a horizontal through hole with its inner diameter fitting with the outer diameter of the optical fiber.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an ink curing degree detection device, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] In the technical solution disclosed in this utility model, the drive motor drives the active wheel and the driven wheel to rotate synchronously, so that the missing tooth part of the quarter gear is misaligned with the meshing teeth of the transmission rod. The drive rod is driven to slide rapidly in the groove of the support plate in both directions at equal distances, which drives the two clamping blocks and the optical fiber in the clamping assembly to move at high speed.

Detailed Implementation
[0023] The following will describe in detail the implementation of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, so that the implementation process of how this application uses technical means to solve technical problems and achieve technical effects can be fully understood and implemented accordingly.
[0024] Figures 1-4 illustrate an embodiment of this utility model, an ink curing degree detection device, including a base 1, a reciprocating component 2 fixedly connected to the top surface of the base 1, a clamping component 3 fixedly connected to one end of the reciprocating component 2, a frame 4 fixedly connected to the top surface of the base 1, an alcohol wiper 5 fixedly connected to the top surface of the frame 4, an equipment plate 6 provided on the top surface of the base 1, and an infrared counter 7 fixedly connected to the side of the equipment plate 6.
[0025] The specific problem addressed in this embodiment is the low frequency of reciprocating motion using a lead screw, which severely affects the efficiency of testing the ink layer on the optical fiber surface. This invention utilizes a drive motor 22 to synchronously rotate the driving wheel 23 and the driven wheel 25, causing the missing tooth portion of the quarter gear 26 to be misaligned with the meshing teeth of the transmission rod 27. This drives the transmission rod 27 to rapidly and bidirectionally slide equidistantly within the groove of the support plate 28, causing the two clamping blocks 31 in the clamping assembly 3 and the optical fiber to move at high speed. The alcohol wipe 5 on the top surface of the frame 4 is used to perform a high-frequency friction test on the ink layer on the optical fiber surface, significantly improving the reciprocating frequency and testing efficiency compared to a lead screw drive structure.
[0026] The reciprocating assembly 2 includes a base plate 21 fixedly connected to the top surface of the base 1. A drive motor 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the base plate 21. A drive wheel 23 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 22. A transmission belt 24 is sleeved on the side of the drive wheel 23. A driven wheel 25 is sleeved on one end of the transmission belt 24. Both the drive wheel 23 and the driven wheel 25 pass through the base plate 21 and are fixedly connected to a quarter gear 26. A transmission rod 27 is meshed on the side of the quarter gear 26. Support plates 28 are slidably connected to both ends of the transmission rod 27. The support plates 28 are fixedly connected to both ends of the base 1. In this specific embodiment, the two quarter gears 26 mesh with the left and right racks of the transmission rod 27 respectively. The transmission rod 27 achieves bidirectional equidistant reciprocating motion under the alternating drive of the quarter gears 26. The two ends of the ink-coated optical fiber are respectively inserted into the threading holes of the two clamping blocks 31 of the clamping assembly 3. By rotating the screw rod 33, the arc-shaped concave surface of the rubber block 34 is pressed tightly against the surface of the optical fiber to complete the fixation. The drive motor 22 is started to drive the driving wheel 23 and the driven wheel 25 to rotate synchronously. The transmission belt 24 ensures that the two wheels rotate at the same speed. The missing tooth part of the quarter gear 26 is misaligned with the meshing teeth of the transmission rod 27, so that the two quarter gears 26 alternately drive the racks on the left and right sides of the transmission rod 27. The transmission rod 27 is supported by the support plate 28. The anti-friction coating surface slides rapidly in both directions along the inner edge of the groove, driving the clamping block 31 and the optical fiber to reciprocate at high frequency and equidistant distance; the middle section of the optical fiber continuously rubs against the alcohol wipe 5 on the top surface of the frame 4, and the infrared counter 7 on the side of the equipment board 6 records the number of reciprocations in real time. The degree of curing is determined by the friction frequency and the state of ink shedding; after the test is completed, the screw rod 33 is rotated in the opposite direction to release the optical fiber. The self-locking thread section prevents the rubber block 34 from loosening during vibration, the guide chamfer facilitates the quick insertion of the optical fiber into the cable insertion port, and the anti-slip texture of the oil-resistant silicone material ensures clamping stability.
[0027] In this specific embodiment, the clamping assembly 3 includes a clamping block 31 fixedly connected to one end of the transmission rod 27, an extension rod 32 fixedly connected to the side of the clamping block 31, another clamping block 31 fixedly connected to one end of the extension rod 32, wire through holes opened on the sides of both clamping blocks 31, a threaded hole through the wire through hole opened on the top surface of the clamping block 31, a screw rod 33 threadedly connected inside the threaded hole, and a rubber block 34 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the screw rod 33;
[0028] The threaded hole on the top surface of the clamping block 31 extends vertically to the cable insertion port. By rotating the screw rod 33, the arc-shaped concave surface of the bottom rubber block 34 is pressed down. The anti-slip texture and oil-resistant silicone material on the surface of the arc-shaped concave surface ensure that the optical fiber is firmly clamped and avoids ink contamination. The self-locking thread section in the threaded hole prevents the screw rod 33 from loosening due to high-frequency vibration, thus realizing the stable fixation and quick assembly and disassembly of the optical fiber in high-speed reciprocating motion.
[0029] In this specific embodiment, a frame 4 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the base 1, an alcohol wipe 5 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the frame 4, an equipment plate 6 is provided on the top surface of the base 1, and an infrared counter 7 is fixedly connected to the side of the equipment plate 6.
[0030] Alcohol wipe 5 is fixed to the top surface of frame 4, and its wiping surface is in direct contact with the ink-coated area in the middle section of the optical fiber. Alcohol wipe 5 adopts a structure of multi-layer non-woven fabric impregnated with alcohol. When the optical fiber is driven by the clamping component 3 to reciprocate at high frequency, alcohol wipe 5 applies uniform friction force to the ink layer. Combined with the dissolving effect of alcohol, it accelerates the shedding of uncured ink, thereby quickly exposing ink curing defects and improving test efficiency and accuracy. Infrared counter 7 is fixed to the side of equipment board 6. Its transmitting end and receiving end are located on both sides of the reciprocating path of transmission rod 27, respectively. By detecting the number of times the reflective mark on transmission rod 27 or clamping block 31 blocks the infrared signal per unit time, the number of reciprocating movements of the optical fiber is accurately recorded. Combined with the preset threshold, the anti-friction performance of the ink layer is determined, realizing the automated acquisition and analysis of test data and avoiding manual counting errors.
[0031] Working principle: The operator inserts both ends of the ink-coated optical fiber into the threading holes of the two clamping blocks 31 of the clamping assembly 3, and fixes it by rotating the screw rod 33 to make the arc-shaped concave surface of the rubber block 34 press tightly against the surface of the optical fiber; after the drive motor 22 starts, it drives the driving wheel 23 and the driven wheel 25 to rotate synchronously. The transmission belt 24 ensures that the two wheels rotate at the same speed. The quarter gear 26 at the top of the driving wheel 23 and the driven wheel 25 is misaligned with the meshing teeth of the transmission rod 27 due to the missing teeth. It alternately drives the racks on the left and right sides of the transmission rod 27, so that the transmission rod 27 slides at high speed along the anti-friction coating surface at equal distances in both directions within the groove of the support plate 28. The device moves, causing the clamping block 31 and optical fiber to reciprocate at a set frequency; the area of the optical fiber covered with ink in the middle section continuously rubs against the alcohol wipe 5 on the top surface of the frame 4. The alcohol wipe 5 uses non-woven fabric soaked in alcohol to dissolve and rub the ink layer, accelerating the shedding of uncured ink; the infrared counter 7 on the side of the device plate 6 detects the number of times the infrared signal is blocked by the reflective mark on the transmission rod 27 or the clamping block 31, records the number of reciprocating movements in real time and transmits it to the external control system. Combined with the preset friction threshold and the ink shedding status, the curing degree is comprehensively determined, and finally, high-frequency, stable and automated ink curing performance detection is achieved.

The power supply is also common knowledge in the field.
