Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water-guided laser technology, specifically to an elastic structure for fiber optic patch cord arrangement. Background Technology

[0002] Water-guided laser technology is an advanced processing technique that focuses a high-energy laser beam into a high-speed flowing water stream using an optical system, utilizing the total internal reflection effect of the water stream to achieve laser transmission. In a water-guided laser system, fiber optic patch cords are used to connect the laser generator and the processing head, and their stability directly affects the laser transmission efficiency and processing accuracy.

[0003] However, after frequent movement or prolonged use, existing fiber optic patch cords will exert a continuous force on the coupling head due to factors such as their own weight, bending stress, and equipment vibration, causing the coupling head to loosen or the fiber end face to shift slightly, resulting in increased laser transmission loss or even optical path interruption. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the above-mentioned fiber optic patch cord arrangement structure, this utility model is proposed.

[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a flexible structure for fiber optic patch cord placement, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A flexible structure for fiber optic patch cord placement includes a main unit, an auxiliary cabinet, and fiber optic patch cords. The auxiliary cabinet is located on one side of the main unit, and the fiber optic patch cords are located above the main unit and the auxiliary cabinet. Both ends of the fiber optic patch cords are connected to the corresponding main unit and auxiliary cabinet, respectively. A fixing shell is provided on the upper surface of the auxiliary cabinet and below the fiber optic patch cords. An arc-shaped support plate is provided above the fixing shell, and the arc-shaped support plate abuts against the lower side of the fiber optic patch cords. An elastic support mechanism is provided inside the fixing shell.

[0008] Preferably, the elastic support mechanism includes a stop block and a first spring. The stop block is slidably disposed inside the fixed shell. The lower end of the arc-shaped support plate extends into the interior of the fixed shell and is fixedly connected to the stop block. The first spring is abutted against the lower side of the stop block, and the other end of the first spring abuts against the lower inner wall of the fixed shell. An opening is provided on one side of the fixed shell, and a cover plate is abutted against the outer side of the opening. A connecting mechanism is provided between the cover plate and the two sides of the fixed plate, and the cover plate is limitedly connected to the fixed shell through the connecting mechanism.

[0009] Preferably, the connecting mechanism includes a first connecting block and a second connecting block. The first connecting block is fixedly disposed on the side wall of the cover plate, and the second connecting block is fixedly disposed on the side wall of the fixed shell. A through hole is formed in the middle of the second connecting block, and a slide rod is slidably disposed inside the through hole. One end of the slide rod is fixedly connected to the first connecting block. A groove is formed on the side wall of the end of the slide rod away from the first connecting block, and a slider is slidably disposed inside the groove. A limit block is fixedly disposed on the upper side of the slider, and the upper side of the limit block extends to the outside of the groove. One outer end of the limit block abuts against the side of the second connecting block away from the first connecting block.

[0010] Preferably, a second spring is fixedly provided on the lower side of the slider, and the other end of the second spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove.

[0011] Preferably, vertical rods are movably sleeved inside both sides of the slider, and both ends of the vertical rods are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the corresponding groove.

[0012] Preferably, both the stop block and the fixing shell have rectangular cross-sections, and the side wall of the stop block abuts against the inner wall of the fixing shell.

[0013] The technical effects and advantages provided by this utility model in the above technical solution are as follows:

[0014] This invention utilizes a linkage structure between the first spring inside the fixed housing, the stop block, and the arc-shaped support plate. When the fiber optic patch cord sags due to gravity or external force, the arc-shaped support plate is pressed, causing the stop block to compress the first spring. The elastic deformation of the spring counteracts the vertical force exerted by the patch cord on the coupling head, significantly reducing the risk of connection loosening due to stress and ensuring the stability of laser transmission.

[0015] This invention utilizes a sliding rod, a slider, and a second spring in the connecting mechanism. When replacing a fatigued first spring, simply press the limiting block inward to separate the limiting block from the second connecting block, and the cover plate can be quickly removed. The entire process requires no tools and allows for the rapid replacement of a fatigued first spring. Attached Figure Description

[0023] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] This utility model discloses an elastic structure for fiber optic patch cord arrangement.

[0025] Reference Figure 1-4 A flexible structure for fiber optic patch cord arrangement includes a main unit 1, an auxiliary cabinet 2, and fiber optic patch cords 3. The auxiliary cabinet 2 is located on one side of the main unit 1, and the fiber optic patch cords 3 are located above the main unit 1 and the auxiliary cabinet 2. The two ends of the fiber optic patch cords 3 are respectively connected to the corresponding main unit 1 and the auxiliary cabinet 2. A fixing shell 5 is provided on the upper surface of the auxiliary cabinet 2 and below the fiber optic patch cords 3. An arc-shaped support plate 4 is provided above the fixing shell 5 and abuts against the lower side of the fiber optic patch cords 3. An elastic support mechanism is provided inside the fixing shell 5.

[0026] Reference Figure 1-4 The elastic support mechanism includes a stop block 6 and a first spring 7. The stop block 6 is slidably disposed inside the fixed shell 5. The lower end of the arc-shaped support plate 4 extends into the fixed shell 5 and is fixedly connected to the stop block 6. The first spring 7 is abutted against the lower side of the stop block 6, and the other end of the first spring 7 abuts against the lower inner wall of the fixed shell 5. An opening is provided on one side of the fixed shell 5, and a cover plate 8 is abutted against the outer side of the opening. A connecting mechanism is provided between the cover plate 8 and the two sides of the fixed plate. The cover plate 8 is limitedly connected to the fixed shell 5 through the connecting mechanism. The cross-sections of the stop block 6 and the fixed shell 5 are both rectangular. The side wall of the stop block 6 abuts against the inner wall of the fixed shell 5, so that the stop block 6 cannot rotate, that is, it can stably drive the arc-shaped support plate 4 to move.

[0027] Reference Figure 1-4 The connecting mechanism includes a first connecting block 9 and a second connecting block 11. The first connecting block 9 is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the cover plate 8, and the second connecting block 11 is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the fixed shell 5. A through hole is opened in the middle of the second connecting block 11, and a slide rod 10 is slidably mounted inside the through hole. One end of the slide rod 10 is fixedly connected to the first connecting block 9. A groove is opened on the side wall of the end of the slide rod 10 away from the first connecting block 9. A slider 12 is slidably mounted inside the groove. A limit block 13 is fixedly mounted on the upper side of the slider 12. The upper side of the limit block 13 extends to the outside of the groove. One end of the outer side of the limit block 13 abuts against the side of the second connecting block 11 away from the first connecting block 9. A second spring 15 is fixedly mounted on the lower side of the slider 12. The other end of the second spring 15 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove to facilitate the slider 12 to move upward and reset. Vertical rods 14 are movably sleeved inside both sides of the slider 12. Both ends of the vertical rods 14 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the corresponding grooves to prevent the slider 12 from slipping out of the grooves as much as possible.

[0028] In this invention, during use, the fiber optic patch cord 3 is laid above the main unit 1 and the auxiliary cabinet 2. The arc-shaped support plate 4 supports the bottom of the patch cord through the elastic force of the first spring 7. When the patch cord sags under force, the arc-shaped support plate 4 drives the stop block 6 to compress the first spring 7. The deformation of the first spring 7 absorbs stress and reduces the pulling on the coupling head. When the first spring 7 needs to be replaced, the limit block 13 is pressed to make the slider 12 retract into the groove against the elastic force of the second spring 15. The slider 10 is pulled out from the through hole of the second connecting block 11, and the cover plate 8 can be removed. After replacing the first spring 7, the installation is completed by reversing the operation. The entire process achieves dynamic buffering and rapid maintenance through mechanical structure, effectively improving the reliability of the fiber optic patch cord arrangement in the water-guided laser system.

[0029] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
