Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fiber optic patch cord manufacturing technology, specifically to an MPO fiber optic patch cord fiber arrangement mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] MPO fiber optic patch cords are fiber optic cables with MPO connectors at one or both ends. The production process involves cutting the fiber to a fixed length, threading it through MPO connector components, and then performing processes such as parallel bonding, heat sealing, core insertion, adhesive bonding, polishing, and end inspection.

[0003] The parallel ribbon process involves arranging multiple optical fibers in parallel and bonding them into a flat ribbon using a UV-cured coating. Fiber arrangement fixtures are typically used to arrange the optical fibers.

[0004] A search revealed a fiber optic cable arrangement tool disclosed in patent application publication number CN219915982U. This tool is used in fiber optic cable arrangement mechanisms. The fiber optic cable block is installed in the positioning port of the fiber optic cable positioning seat. Then, the cut optical fibers are placed one by one through the first pressure cap into the fiber optic cable channel. After placing the optical fibers, the fiber length is positioned using a fiber length slider to ensure that the fiber end faces are in a straight line. After confirming that all optical fibers are in the slots, high-temperature tape is used to attach them to the fiber optic cable block to fix the upper surface of the optical fibers. Finally, the fiber optic cable block is removed, completing the fiber optic cable arrangement process.

[0005] The aforementioned patent requires placing each optical fiber individually in the fiber routing channel during fiber routing. Due to the thinness of the optical fiber and the narrowness of the fiber routing channel, it is not easy to insert the fiber. Furthermore, the fiber is fixed all at once after multiple groups of optical fibers have been inserted. This may result in the previous group of optical fibers detaching from the fiber routing channel when the next group of optical fibers is being routed, thus affecting the fiber routing efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an MPO fiber optic patch cord arrangement mechanism. By setting a notch that allows only one bare fiber optic cable to enter, the fiber optic cables can be kept in a single row when each bare fiber optic cable is manually inserted into the notch, and are not easily pulled out of the notch. A lifting pressure plate is set to press the bare fiber optic cable in the notch to achieve fiber arrangement. This arrangement mechanism integrates a fiber optic cable fixing structure and a moving structure, making it convenient and quick to use.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an MPO fiber optic patch cord fiber arrangement mechanism, including a base, a lifting arm hinged to one end of the base, a notch at one end of the lifting arm that allows bare fiber optic cables to be arranged longitudinally side by side, a pressure plate and a moving structure for driving the pressure plate to move are provided on one side of the lifting arm, a fixing structure for fixing the fiber optic cable is provided on the other side of the lifting arm, and a leveling structure for leveling the bare fiber optic cable is provided on the upper surface of the base.

[0008] Preferably, the fixing structure includes a fixing frame, the upper surface of which has a groove for inserting optical fiber cables, a pressure plate is provided above the fixing frame, and a shaft seat is fixed on one side of the fixing frame. The pressure plate is rotatably connected to the shaft seat via a rotating shaft.

[0009] Preferably, the fixing structure further includes a snap-fit ​​block for positioning the pressure plate after folding. The snap-fit ​​block is fixed to one side of the fixing frame. One end of the pressure plate is provided with an integrally formed flange, and one side of the flange is provided with a slot. The snap-fit ​​block is snapped into the slot.

[0010] Preferably, the top of the notch is rounded, and a suspension is fixed to one side of the lifting arm by screws, and the fixing bracket is fixedly connected to the suspension by screws.

[0011] Preferably, the movable structure includes a first slide rail and a slide plate. A groove is provided on one side of the slide plate for sliding connection with the first slide rail. The slide plate is arranged in an inverted L shape. The pressure plate is fixed to one end of the slide plate and is inserted into the notch.

[0012] Preferably, the leveling structure includes a second slide rail, which is mounted on the upper surface of the base by screws, and a leveling block is slidably connected above the second slide rail.

[0013] Preferably, the upper surface of the base has a groove for inserting side-by-side bare optical fibers, and the leveling block is located above the groove.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. The fixing structure of this utility model can firmly clamp the optical fiber cable before fiber laying by using a fixing frame with a cable groove and a flip-up pressure plate, so as to avoid the fiber displacement caused by the cable being pulled during fiber laying.

[0016] 2. The rounded corners at the top of the notch of this utility model, combined with the width that allows only a single bare optical fiber to enter, can reduce the difficulty of inserting the optical fiber and avoid the problem of difficult alignment in traditional narrow slots. Operators can easily insert the optical fibers one by one into the notch, and the optical fibers are arranged in a single row after entering the notch.

[0017] 3. The integrated lifting and moving structure and fixed structure of this utility model make the fiber feeding machine more convenient to use, improve the continuity of fiber feeding operation, and improve fiber feeding efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an MPO fiber optic patch cord arrangement mechanism, including a base 1, one end of which is hinged to a lifting arm 2. The lifting arm 2 is hinged via a 90° self-locking hinge, which can self-lock after being folded 90°. The 90° self-locking hinge can be purchased and used directly. One end of the lifting arm 2 has a notch 3 that allows bare fiber optic cables 9 to be arranged longitudinally side by side. Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, during fiber arrangement, a bare optical fiber 9 is held by hand and wound around the notch 3 until all the bare optical fiber 9s are placed in the notch 3. Since the width of the notch 3 can only accommodate one bare optical fiber 9, the bare optical fiber 9s are automatically arranged in a single vertical row after being wound into the notch 3. One side of the lifting arm 2 is provided with a pressure plate 4 that can compact the bare optical fiber 9s placed in the notch 3, and a moving structure 5 that drives the pressure plate 4 to move. By setting the pressure plate 4, after all the bare optical fiber 9s are placed in the notch 3, the pressure plate 4 is manually pressed, and one end of the pressure plate 4 is inserted into the notch 3 from top to bottom, as shown. Figure 1As shown, the pressure plate 4 presses the bare optical fiber 9 arranged in the notch 3 tightly. The other side of the lifting arm 2 is provided with a fixing structure 6 to fix the optical fiber cable 10. By setting the fixing structure 6, the optical fiber cable 10 can be clamped and fixed to one side of the lifting arm 2, preventing the bare optical fiber 9 from detaching from the notch 3 due to arm shaking when manually placing it in. The upper surface of the base 1 is provided with a leveling structure 7 to level the bare optical fiber 9. The leveling structure 7 ensures that the optical fibers are neatly arranged side-by-side. Figure 3 As shown, this facilitates subsequent dripping and curing.

[0028] The fixing structure 6 includes a fixing frame 601. The upper surface of the fixing frame 601 has a groove 602 for inserting the optical fiber cable 10. A pressure plate 4 is disposed above the fixing frame 601. A bearing seat 604 is fixed to one side of the fixing frame 601. The pressure plate 4 is rotatably connected to the bearing seat 604 via a rotating shaft. After the optical fiber cable 10 is placed into the groove 602, the pressure plate 4 is manually folded to press the optical fiber cable 10 firmly. Figure 2 As shown.

[0029] The fixing structure 6 also includes a snap-fit ​​block 605 for positioning the pressure plate 4 after it is folded. The snap-fit ​​block 605 is fixed to one side of the fixing frame 601. One end of the pressure plate 4 is provided with an integrally formed flange 606, and one side of the flange 606 is provided with a slot 607. The snap-fit ​​block 605 is snapped into the slot 607. When the pressure plate 4 is folded, as... Figure 2 as well as Figure 1 As shown, the snap-fit ​​block 605 snaps into the snap-fit ​​slot 607, fixing the end of the pressure plate 4 away from the rotating shaft.

[0030] The top of the notch 3 is rounded, and a suspension 608 is fixed to one side of the lifting arm 2 by screws. The fixing bracket 601 is fixedly connected to the suspension 608 by screws. The rounded corners facilitate the insertion of the bare optical fiber 9 into the notch 3. There is a gap between the fixing bracket 601 and the notch 3. Figure 2 As shown, by setting the suspension 608, a gap is maintained between the fixing bracket 601 and the notch 3, providing room for manually winding the bare optical fiber 9 into the notch 3.

[0031] The movable structure 5 includes a first slide rail 501 and a sliding plate 502. A groove 503 is provided on one side of the sliding plate 502 for sliding connection with the first slide rail 501. The sliding plate 502 is inverted L-shaped. A pressure plate 4 is fixed to one end of the horizontal plate of the sliding plate 502 and is inserted into a notch 3. Manually pulling the sliding plate 502 moves it along the outer wall of the first slide rail 501. When the sliding plate 502 is moved downwards, it drives the pressure plate 4 to insert into the notch 3, compacting the longitudinally parallel bare optical fiber lines 9 within the notch 3.

[0032] The leveling structure 7 includes a second slide rail 701, which is mounted on the upper surface of the base 1 by screws. A leveling block 702 is slidably connected above the second slide rail 701. The height between the leveling block 702 and the bottom of the groove 8 is set to allow only one bare optical fiber 9 to be inserted. Figure 1 as well as Figure 3 As shown, after the bare fiber optic cable 9 is folded up by the lifting arm 2, it is located in the groove 8. At this point, repeatedly moving the leveling block 702 ensures that all the bare fiber optic cables 9 are on the same plane without overlap.

[0033] The upper surface of the base 1 is provided with a groove 8 for inserting side-by-side bare optical fiber lines 9, and the leveling block 702 is located above the groove 8.

[0034] When using, such as Figure 1 As shown, lift the pressure plate 4 of the fixing frame 601, put the fiber optic cable 10 into the cable groove 602 of the fixing frame 601, press down the pressure plate 4 to cover the cable, and at the same time, snap the flange 606 at the end of the pressure plate 4 into the slot 607 of the snap block 605 to lock the cable position and prevent the cable from shifting due to shaking during operation.

[0035] Pinch a single bare fiber optic cable 9 and guide it with the rounded corner at the top of the notch 3 of the lifting arm 2. Insert the bare cable longitudinally into the notch 3. The width of the notch 3 is only enough for a single fiber to pass through. Repeat the operation until all the bare fiber optic cables 9 are arranged in a single row in the notch 3. The side wall of the notch 3 automatically constrains the position of the fiber and prevents it from coming out.

[0036] Manually press down the sliding plate 502 of the moving structure 5 to drive the inverted L-shaped sliding plate 502 to move vertically downward along the first slide rail 501. The sliding plate 502 drives the pressure plate 4 to insert into the notch 3, pressing and fixing the parallel bare optical fiber lines 9 as a whole to prevent displacement during subsequent operations.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, when the lifting arm 2 is lifted and folded around the self-locking hinge at 90° to the horizontal position, the bare fiber optic cable 9 in the notch 3 is transferred to the groove 8 of the base 1.

[0038] Push the leveling block 702 on the second slide rail 701 to slide repeatedly: the gap between the bottom of the leveling block 702 and the groove 8 is equal to the diameter of a single optical fiber, ensuring that all optical fibers are flattened to the same plane without overlapping or lifting, which facilitates subsequent glue application and fixation.

[0039] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
