Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fiber optic array production technology, and in particular to a fiber optic array production equipment. Background Technology

[0002] A fiber optic array is an array formed by mounting a bundle of optical fibers or a fiber ribbon at specified intervals on a V-groove substrate. The fabrication process involves placing the bare fiber portion (with the fiber coating removed) into the V-groove, pressurizing it with a pressurizing device, bonding it with adhesive, and finally grinding and polishing the surface to the required precision. At the front end, the fiber is precisely positioned for connection to a PLC.

[0003] In traditional fiber optic array production, several optical fibers are usually embedded into a V-groove substrate by hand, which results in low production efficiency. Therefore, a fiber optic array production equipment is needed to meet people's needs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fiber optic array production device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a fiber optic array production equipment, including a base, a worktable on the base, a first pressing mechanism and a second pressing mechanism on the worktable, a motor on the bottom end of the worktable surface, a lead screw on the output end of the motor, a transmission rod connected to the lead screw, the transmission rod being connected to the second pressing mechanism, an electric telescopic rod on the base, a support plate on the output end of the electric telescopic rod, the support plate being slidably connected within the worktable surface, a clamp on the support plate, a V-groove substrate movably connected within the clamp, the V-groove substrate being arranged between the first pressing mechanism and the second pressing mechanism.

[0006] Preferably, both the first and second pressing mechanisms consist of a connecting frame, a cylinder, a pressure plate, and a V-groove base. The cylinder is mounted on the connecting frame, and the cylinder's telescopic shaft is slidably connected to the top of the connecting frame. The pressure plate is connected to the bottom of the cylinder's telescopic shaft, and the V-groove base is movably connected to the bottom of the connecting frame by bolts.

[0007] Preferably, a first rubber pad is provided on the bottom end of the pressure plate.

[0008] Preferably, a guide shaft is provided on the bottom end of the worktable surface. The guide shaft is arranged parallel and symmetrically with the lead screw. A guide rod is slidably connected to the guide shaft. The guide rod is connected to the connecting frame of the second pressing mechanism and is symmetrical with the transmission rod.

[0009] Preferably, the workbench has a slot on its surface, which extends through the top and bottom of the workbench, and the tray is arranged in the slot.

[0010] Preferably, the clamp consists of a clamp seat, a bidirectional screw, a first clamping plate, and a second clamping plate. The clamp seat is movably connected to the support plate by bolts, the bidirectional screw is rotatably connected to the clamp seat, the first clamping plate is threaded to the positive thread section of the bidirectional screw, the second clamping plate is threaded to the negative thread section of the bidirectional screw, and the V-groove substrate is arranged between the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate.

[0011] Preferably, a second rubber pad is provided on the side of the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate that are close to each other.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] In this invention, a motor drives a lead screw to rotate, causing the lead screw to drive a transmission rod to move horizontally. This, in turn, causes the second pressing mechanism to move horizontally. The second pressing mechanism then presses several optical fibers arranged in the array within the first pressing mechanism and simultaneously pulls them out by moving them. This allows the optical fibers to be positioned between the first and second pressing mechanisms. An electric telescopic rod then lifts a support plate, which in turn lifts a clamp, which in turn lifts a V-groove substrate. This allows the optical fibers to be simultaneously embedded into the V-groove substrate, facilitating subsequent sealing, dispensing, and cutting, and effectively improving the production efficiency of the optical fiber array.
