Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical cable splicing technology, and in particular to an intelligent optical cable splicing device. Background Technology
[0002] A fiber optic fusion splicer is a device used for splicing communication optical fibers and cables. Before use, the fiber sheath must be removed, wiped with alcohol, and the fiber optic cable cut. The fiber optic cable to be spliced is then placed inside the fusion splicer. The internal drive components, such as electric push rods and motors, are activated, causing the cutter to cut the fiber optic cable to a flat end face. The cutter is then removed, and a high-precision camera observes the position of the two fiber optic connection ends. The clamp is moved, and the internal fiber optic cables are aligned and bonded. Finally, an electric arc discharge is used to heat the fiber optic cable, thus completing the fiber optic splicing process.
[0003] For example, patent CN212181080U discloses an optical cable splicing device for use in optical cable repair. It aims to solve the problem of time-consuming and labor-intensive cable fixing affecting splicing efficiency. The device includes a workbench with grooves on the upper surfaces of both ends. The opening direction of the grooves is parallel to the workbench, and a cover is provided at the opening end of each groove. A fixing rod is vertically installed inside the top wall of the groove, and a driving component is provided on the top wall to drive the fixing rods to slide back and forth. A driving assembly is provided on the workbench to drive the two driving components to work synchronously. The cover seals the sidewalls of the optical cable within the groove, limiting the cable's placement. The driving assembly drives the two driving components to work synchronously, causing the driving components to drive the two fixing rods to slide stably towards the optical cable. The two fixing rods simultaneously fix the two optical cables, saving time and effort, thus improving the device's efficiency in splicing optical cables.
[0004] However, the optical fiber fusion splicing device of this application lacks a convenient dust removal structure before the optical fiber is thermally fused, and the optical fiber containing dust and impurities may affect the quality of the fusion splice. Utility Model Content
