Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical fiber processing technology, specifically to an automatic fiber threading and curing device. Background Technology

[0002] In many fields such as fiber optic communication and optical instrument manufacturing, ferrules are widely used as a key component. Their main function is to precisely fix and align optical fibers, ensuring efficient and stable transmission of optical signals. Typically, a fixative is used to secure the optical fiber inside the transparent ferrule.

[0003] Common curing methods mainly involve using lamps for curing, but most of these lamps can only irradiate the fixative from the top. Irradiation from the top alone makes it difficult for the fixative to be fully and evenly cured in all parts, which has limitations.

[0004] The reason for this problem is that top-lighting creates blind spots. Some corners and gaps inside the ferrule cannot be fully covered by light, resulting in incomplete curing of the fixative in these areas. This leads to a weak connection between the optical fiber and the ferrule, affecting the transmission quality of the optical signal and potentially causing product malfunctions during use. Therefore, we propose an automated fiber threading and curing device to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0029] This application provides an automatic fiber-threading curing device, which solves the problem that common curing methods mainly use lamps for irradiation curing. However, most of these lamps can only irradiate the fixative from the top, and it is difficult to ensure that the fixative is fully and uniformly cured in all parts by irradiation from the top, which has limitations.

[0030] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] This utility model discloses an automatic fiber-threading and curing device. According to the appendix... Figure 1-2 As shown, it includes a machine body 1, a rotating processing disk 2 is provided inside the machine body 1, a transparent insert is provided inside the rotating processing disk 2, and a uniform curing unit 4 is provided on one side of the rotating processing disk 2. The uniform curing unit 4 includes an irradiation lamp 41, a clamping rotating component 42 and a push-pull cylinder 43.

[0033] The clamping rotating component 42 is located below the illumination lamp 41. The clamping rotating component 42 is used to clamp the transparent insert component and make it move in a circular motion. The push-pull cylinder 43 is located below the clamping rotating component 42. The push-pull cylinder 43 is driven to connect with the clamping rotating component 42. The push-pull cylinder 43 is used to drive the clamping rotating component 42 to move vertically.

[0034] The machine body 1 is equipped with a rotary motor 21. The output shaft of the rotary motor 21 is fixedly assembled with the rotary processing disk 2. The machine body 1 is equipped with a processing component 3, which includes an injector 31 and a fiber threader 32. The injector 31 is located at one end of the top of the machine body 1 and is used to inject fixative into the interior of the transparent ferrule. The fiber threader 32 is located on one side of the top of the machine body 1 and is used to insert optical fiber into the interior of the transparent ferrule and cure the fixative through the uniform curing unit 4. The processing component 3 also includes a feeder 33. The feeder 33 is located on one side of the fiber threader 32 and is used to remove the transparent ferrule after fiber threading and curing.

[0035] In this embodiment, the rotary motor 21 is started to drive the rotary processing disk 2 to rotate. When the transparent ferrule rotates to below the injector 31, the injector 31 injects the fixative into the interior of the transparent ferrule. The rotary processing disk 2 continues to rotate. When the transparent ferrule rotates to below the fiber threader 32, the fiber threader 32 inserts the optical fiber into the interior of the transparent ferrule. The rotary processing disk 2 continues to rotate, and the irradiation lamp 41 cures the fixative. The rotary processing disk 2 continues to rotate. When the cured transparent ferrule rotates to below the unloader 33, the unloader 33 removes it. The fixative is resin. The principle of the fiber threader 32 is that it has a precisely designed guide channel inside, the size of which matches the inner hole of the transparent ferrule. During the fiber threading operation, the optical fiber is fed into the guide channel and accurately inserted into the transparent ferrule under the channel's guidance. The light irradiated by the illumination lamp 41 is ultraviolet light. When the illumination lamp 41 irradiates the resin inside the transparent ferrule, the transparent ferrule does not obstruct the ultraviolet light, ensuring the curing effect. After curing, it is unloaded by the feeder 33. The principle is that when the transparent ferrule rotates with the rotary processing disk 2 to below the feeder 33, the control system issues a command, and the transmission mechanism drives the mechanical gripper to move downward to the appropriate position. Then, the gripper's jaws close, firmly grasping the transparent ferrule. Next, the transmission mechanism drives the mechanical gripper upward, removing the transparent ferrule from the fixing block 22 of the rotary processing disk 2. Finally, the mechanical gripper moves the transparent ferrule to the designated unloading position, the jaws open, and the unloading operation is completed.

The uniform curing unit 4 includes an irradiation lamp 41, a clamping rotating component 42 and a push-pull cylinder 43.

[0038] The clamping rotating component 42 is located below the illumination lamp 41. The clamping rotating component 42 is used to clamp the transparent insert component and make it move in a circular motion. The push-pull cylinder 43 is located below the clamping rotating component 42. The push-pull cylinder 43 is driven to connect with the clamping rotating component 42. The push-pull cylinder 43 is used to drive the clamping rotating component 42 to move vertically.

[0039] The rotating processing disk 2 has fixed blocks 22 arranged in a circular array. A transparent insert is inserted into the fixed blocks 22. A support block 23 is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the fixed blocks 22. A turntable 24 is rotatably connected inside the support block 23.

The first motor 421 is mounted on a push-pull cylinder 43, and the output shaft of the push-pull cylinder 43 is fixedly mounted to the first motor 421. The fixed disk 422 is mounted on the first motor 421, and the output shaft of the first motor 421 is fixedly mounted to the fixed disk 422. It also includes a bidirectional lead screw 423, a guide shaft 424, and a second motor 425; the bidirectional lead screw 423 is rotatably connected to one side inside the fixed disk 422; the guide shaft 424 is fixedly assembled to the other side inside the fixed disk 422; the second motor 425 is located at the end of the fixed disk 422, and the output shaft of the second motor 425 is fixedly assembled to the bidirectional lead screw 423.

[0040] In this embodiment, when the transparent insert rotates to below the uniform curing unit 4, the push-pull cylinder 43 drives the clamping rotating component 42 to rise, and the second motor 425 drives the bidirectional lead screw 423 to rotate, so that the clamping block 427 clamps the turntable 24. Then, the first motor 421 drives the fixed disk 422 to rotate, thereby causing the transparent insert to make a circular motion, while the irradiation lamp 41 irradiates the transparent insert to make the fixative uniformly cure.
