[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of optical fiber connector technology, and in particular relates to a feeding device for assembling optical fiber connectors. Background Technology

[0002] Fiber optic connectors are devices that provide detachable (movable) connections between optical fibers. They precisely align the two end faces of the fibers to maximize the coupling of light energy from the transmitting fiber to the receiving fiber, and to minimize the impact on the system caused by their intervention in the optical link. These are the fundamental requirements of fiber optic connectors. To a certain extent, fiber optic connectors affect the reliability and performance of optical transmission systems.

[0003] Fiber optic connectors are composed of multiple parts, with many components inside the housing. Therefore, fiber optic connectors need to be produced in conjunction with an assembly machine. To ensure the assembly efficiency and quality of fiber optic connectors, we have designed a feeding device for fiber optic connector assembly. This device transports the housing and, in conjunction with a stepping structure, advances the housing step by step, facilitating the automated assembly of the components inside the housing. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a feeding device for assembling fiber optic connectors, which has the advantages of conveying the housing base and advancing the housing base step by step with a stepping structure, facilitating the automated assembly of parts inside the housing base, thereby solving the aforementioned background technical problems.

Multiple base shell bodies are conveyed on the conveying device. A conveying rail is fixedly installed on the top of the platform. A fixing plate is fixedly installed on one side of the conveying rail. A cylinder is fixedly installed on the fixing plate. The output end of the cylinder is located as a lifting component between the conveying device and the conveying rail. A cylinder is fixedly installed on the top of the platform. A side-shifting plate is fixedly installed on the output end of the cylinder. A moving plate is fixedly installed on one side of the side-shifting plate. A cylinder is fixedly installed on the top of the moving plate. A push plate is fixedly installed on the output end of the cylinder. Multiple equally spaced limiting plates are installed on the top of the push plate. Limiting grooves adapted to the base shell bodies are opened on the limiting plates.

[0006] Preferably, a guide rail is fixedly installed on the top of the platform, and the bottom of the moving plate is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the guide rail.

[0007] Preferably, a discharge hopper is fixedly installed on the left side of the conveyor rail, and the discharge hopper is adapted to the leftmost limiting piece.

[0008] Preferably, two limiting seats are fixedly installed on the top of the platform, and the limiting seats are adapted to the side shift plate.

[0009] Preferably, the top of the movable plate is fixedly connected to two symmetrical strip rails, and the bottom sides of the push plate are fixedly installed with sliding sleeves that slide on the surface of the strip rails.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0011] 1. This utility model can centrally transport multiple base shell bodies through a conveying device. Then, cylinder one extends and lifts a base shell body to align with the conveying rail through a lifting component. Then, in conjunction with the extension of cylinder three, the rightmost limiting plate limits the lifted base shell body. Then, through the extension of cylinder two, the base shell body moves to the left in a step-by-step manner in the conveying rail through the assembly device, cylinder three, push plate and limiting plate. This process is repeated to achieve the conveying of the outer shell seat. In conjunction with the step-by-step structure, the outer shell seat is pushed forward step by step, which facilitates the automated assembly of parts inside the outer shell seat.

[0012] 2. This utility model utilizes the combination of a bar rail and a sliding sleeve. During the extension and retraction of the cylinder, the push plate and the limiting plate will move. The push plate will then drive the sliding sleeve to slide on the surface of the bar rail, providing guidance and support for the movement of the push plate and the limiting plate, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the push plate and the limiting plate.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] In the following description, embodiments of the fiber optic connector assembly feeding device of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] Figure 1-3 This invention illustrates a feeding device for assembling fiber optic connectors according to an embodiment of the present invention. It includes a platform 2 and a conveying device 3 mounted on an assembly device 1. Multiple base shell bodies 4 are conveyed on the conveying device 3. A conveying rail 5 is fixedly mounted on the top of the platform 2. A fixing plate 6 is fixedly mounted on one side of the conveying rail 5. A cylinder 7 is fixedly mounted on the fixing plate 6. The output end of the cylinder 7 is located between the conveying device 3 and the conveying rail 5, forming a lifting member 8. A second cylinder 9 is fixedly mounted on the top of the platform 2. A side-shifting plate 10 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the cylinder 9. Two limiting seats 18 are fixedly mounted on the top of the platform 2, and the limiting seats 18 are adapted to the side-shifting plate 10. A moving plate 11 is fixedly mounted on one side of the side-shifting plate 10. A guide rail 16 is fixedly mounted on the top of the platform 2. The bottom of the moving plate 11 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the guide rail 16. A [missing information - likely a device name or component] is fixedly mounted on the top of the moving plate 11. Cylinder 3 12 has a push plate 13 fixedly installed at its output end. Multiple equally spaced limiting plates 14 are installed on the top of the push plate 13. The limiting plates 14 have limiting grooves 15 that are adapted to the base shell body 4. A discharge hopper 17 is fixedly installed on the left side of the conveying rail 5. The discharge hopper 17 is adapted to the leftmost limiting plate 14. Two symmetrical strip rails 19 are fixedly connected to the top of the moving plate 11. Sliding sleeves 20 that slide on the surface of the strip rails 19 are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the push plate 13. Through the cooperation of the strip rails 19 and the sliding sleeves 20, the push plate 13 and the limiting plates 14 will move during the extension and retraction of cylinder 3 12. The push plate 13 will drive the sliding sleeves 20 to slide on the surface of the strip rails 19, providing guidance and support for the movement of the push plate 13 and the limiting plates 14, and improving the stability of the movement of the push plate 13 and the limiting plates 14.

[0021] Working principle: In use, this utility model can transport multiple base shell bodies 4 together through the conveying device 3 until the leftmost base shell body 4 abuts against the conveying rail 5. Then, cylinder 7 extends and lifts the leftmost base shell body 4 with the lifting member 8 until it is aligned with the inlet of the conveying rail 5. Then, cylinder 12 extends, so that the limiting groove 15 on the rightmost limiting plate 14 fits onto the surface of the base shell body 4. Then, cylinder 9 extends, and moves the moving plate 11, cylinder 12, pushing plate 13 and limiting plate 14 to the left through the side moving plate 10. When the limiting plate 14 moves, the base shell body 4 moves on the conveying rail 5 until the side plate 10 abuts against the left limiting seat 18. The cylinder 3 12 drives the push plate 13 to move forward and reset, so that the limiting plate 14 disengages from the surface of the base shell body 4. At this time, the lifting member 8 lowers the base shell body 4 conveyed by the conveying device 3 into the lifting member 8, and then continues to lift until it is aligned with the feed port of the conveying rail 5. This process is repeated so that the base shell body 4 moves to the left in the conveying rail 5 in a step-by-step manner. When it moves to the leftmost side of the conveying rail 5, it is guided out through the unloading hopper 17.

[0022] In summary, this fiber optic connector assembly feeding device can centrally transport multiple base shell bodies 4 via the conveying device 3. Then, cylinder 7 extends and lifts one base shell body 4 to alignment with the conveying rail 5 via the lifting component 8. Next, with the extension of cylinder 12, the rightmost limiting plate 14 limits the lifted base shell body 4. Then, with the extension of cylinder 9, the base shell body 4 moves stepwise to the left in the conveying rail 5 via the assembly device 1, cylinder 12, push plate 13, and limiting plate 14. This process is repeated to achieve the purpose of conveying the outer shell base. With the help of the stepping structure, the outer shell base is pushed stepwise, which facilitates the automated assembly of parts inside the outer shell base.
