The tool includes a pole, and a cable reel, tape reel, bonding mechanism, peeling mechanism, and adhesive attachment disposed on the pole.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cabling technology, and in particular to an optical fiber cabling tool. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of Fiber To The Home (FTTH) and Fiber To The Room (FTTR), the application of optical cables is becoming more and more widespread, and the construction of optical cable cabling is also increasing.

[0003] In related technologies, optical cables are attached to the walls of corridors or rooms using double-sided tape.

[0004] During the wiring process, one side of the double-sided tape needs to be adhered to the wall first, and then the fiber optic cable needs to be adhered to the other side of the double-sided tape. Alternatively, the fiber optic cable and one side of the double-sided tape can be adhered together first, and then the other side of the double-sided tape can be adhered to the wall. The wiring installation is quite complicated. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a fiber optic cable cabling tool. This tool allows for convenient and quick bonding of fiber optic cables and double-sided adhesive tape, and adheres the adhesive-coated fiber optic cable to the cabling surface. The technical solution of the fiber optic cable cabling tool is described below.

[0006] This application provides an optical cable cabling tool. The tool includes a pole, and a cable reel, a tape reel, a bonding mechanism, a peeling mechanism, and an adhesive attachment disposed on the pole. The cable reel and tape reel are rotatable. The cable reel is used to wind the optical cable, and the tape reel is used to wind double-sided adhesive tape. The double-sided adhesive tape includes a first adhesive surface and a second adhesive surface, the second adhesive surface being provided with a release film. The bonding mechanism includes a first clamping member and a second clamping member. The optical cable and the double-sided adhesive tape are inserted between the first clamping member and the second clamping member. The first clamping member and the second clamping member are used to bond the optical cable and the first adhesive surface of the double-sided adhesive tape together to obtain an adhesive-coated optical cable. The peeling mechanism connects to the release film of the adhesive-coated optical cable. The adhesive attachment is used to press the second adhesive surface of the adhesive-coated optical cable onto the cabling plane and move within the cabling plane. During the movement of the adhesive attachment, the peeling mechanism peels off the release film of the adhesive-coated optical cable.

[0007] Among them, optical cables can be optical cables used only for transmitting optical signals, or they can be optical-electric composite cables used for transmitting both optical and electrical signals.

[0008] The technical solution provided in this application involves the operator first attaching the optical cable to the first adhesive side of double-sided tape when using the optical cable cabling tool, and then passing the optical cable and double-sided tape between the first clamping member and the second clamping member. Next, a portion of the release film on the double-sided tape is peeled off, and the release film is then connected to the peeling mechanism. Finally, the adhesive-coated optical cable, after the release film has been peeled off, is wound around the adhesive member.

[0009] During the cabling process, the operator holds a lever and presses the adhesive-coated optical cable's second adhesive side onto the cabling plane using an adhesive applicator. The lever moves across the cabling plane, pulling the adhesive-coated optical cable outwards. As the cable is pulled outwards, the cable reel and tape reel rotate under the drive of the optical cable and double-sided adhesive tape, respectively, continuously releasing both. Simultaneously, the first and second clamping members continuously bond the optical cable and the first adhesive side of the double-sided adhesive tape, continuously producing adhesive-coated optical cables. Furthermore, the peeling mechanism also peels off the release film from the adhesive-coated optical cable. Thus, as the adhesive applicator moves across the cabling plane, it always has adhesive-coated optical cable at its location, and the adhesive-coated optical cable never has a release film, allowing the second adhesive side of the double-sided adhesive tape at the adhesive applicator to be directly adhered to the cabling plane. This reduces the number of cabling steps and improves cabling efficiency.

[0010] In one implementation, the first clamping element is a first roller, and / or the second clamping element is a second roller. This facilitates the removal of the optical cable from between the first and second clamping elements after the first adhesive surfaces of the optical cable and the double-sided tape are adhered.

[0011] In one implementation, the bonding mechanism further includes a first elastic element connected to either a first clamping element or a second clamping element. The first elastic element drives the first clamping element or the second clamping element to clamp the optical cable and the double-sided tape. The two ends of the first elastic element are respectively connected to the first clamping element and the second clamping element. Alternatively, one end of the first elastic element is connected to the first clamping element (or the second clamping element), and the other end is connected to a rod body. This improves the reliability of the bonding between the optical cable and the double-sided tape.

[0012] In one implementation, the bonding mechanism further includes a rotating rod, one end of which is rotatably connected to a rod body, and a first clamping member located at the other end of the rotating rod. One end of a first elastic member is connected to the rotating rod, and the other end is connected to the rod body or a second clamping member. The first elastic member drives the rotating rod to swing the first clamping member toward the second clamping member. This allows the first and second clamping members to clamp the optical cable and double-sided tape together.

[0013] In one implementation, the rod body includes a plate-like structure, with a first clamping member and a second clamping member disposed on one side of the plate-like structure, and a first elastic member disposed on the other side of the plate-like structure. This reduces interference from the first elastic member to the double-sided tape and optical cable.

[0014] In one implementation, the peeling mechanism includes a third roller and a third clamping member. The release film is inserted between the third roller and the third clamping member and is clamped by them. During the movement of the adhesive component, the third roller rotates and drives the release film to be continuously peeled off from the adhesive-coated optical cable. Because the release film is clamped by the third roller and the third clamping member, friction forces the third roller to continuously peel the release film off from the adhesive-coated optical cable during its rotation.

[0015] In one implementation, an adhesive-coated optical cable passing between the first and second clamping members is bonded to a third roller. During the movement of the bonding member, the adhesive-coated optical cable is pulled and drives the third roller to rotate. In this way, the third roller does not require additional power, and by setting the appropriate size of the third roller, the peeling speed of the release film can be matched with the wiring speed.

[0016] In one implementation, the optical cable laying tool further includes a first limiting member and a second limiting member disposed on the pole. An adhesive-coated optical cable, passing between the first and second clamping members, sequentially wraps around one side of the first limiting member, one side of the third roller, and one side of the second limiting member. The adhesive-coated optical cable adheres to the first and second limiting members, and the double-sided adhesive tape of the cable adheres to the third roller, with the cable being compressed into an arc shape by the third roller. This results in a larger contact area between the adhesive-coated optical cable and the third roller, improving the reliability of the cable driving the third roller's rotation.

[0017] In one implementation, both the first and second limiting components are rollers.

[0018] In one implementation, the third clamping element is a fourth roller, and the optical cable wiring tool also includes a third limiting element located on the rod body. The adhesive-coated optical cable passes around the second limiting element and then around one side of the third limiting element, wherein the third limiting element is located between the adhesive-coated optical cable and the fourth roller to prevent the adhesive-coated optical cable from contacting the fourth roller. This avoids the phenomenon of optical cable or double-sided tape getting tangled on the fourth roller.

[0019] In one implementation, the third limiting element is a roller.

[0020] In one implementation, the peeling mechanism further includes a second elastic element connected to a third roller or a third clamping element. The second elastic element drives the third roller or the third clamping element to clamp the release film. The two ends of the second elastic element are connected to the third roller and the third clamping element, respectively. Alternatively, one end of the second elastic element is connected to the third roller (or the third clamping element), and the other end is connected to a rod. This results in a larger clamping force between the third roller and the third clamping element, ensuring smooth driving of the release film by the third roller.

[0021] In one implementation, the peeling mechanism includes a release film disc rotatably mounted on a rod, the release film disc being used to wrap a release film. During the movement of the adhesive component, the release film disc rotates, driving the release film to peel off from the adhesive-coated optical cable, and wrapping the peeled release film.

[0022] In the technical solution provided in this application, since the release film is wrapped around the release film disc, the release film disc will continuously drive the release film to peel off from the double-sided adhesive tape during the rotation of the release film disc.

[0023] In one implementation, the release film reel is driven to a cable reel or tape reel. During the movement of the adhesive component, the cable reel and tape reel rotate, releasing the optical cable and double-sided tape respectively, and the cable reel or tape reel drives the release film reel to rotate. In this way, the release film reel does not require additional power, and through proper dimensional design, the release film peeling speed can be matched with the wiring speed.

[0024] In one implementation, the release film reel engages with the cable reel or tape reel via gears.

[0025] In one implementation, the adhesive component is a roller used to roll along the wiring plane. This improves the smoothness of the adhesive component's movement along the wiring plane.

[0026] In one implementation, the pole body includes a fixed pole and a telescopic pole, with the fixed pole looping around a portion of the telescopic pole, and the fixed pole and the telescopic pole are slidably connected. A cable reel, tape reel, bonding mechanism, peeling mechanism, and adhesive component are all located on the telescopic pole.

[0027] In one implementation, the rod body includes a rod-shaped structure and a plate-shaped structure, with a cable reel and a tape reel connecting the rod-shaped structure. An adhesion mechanism, a peeling mechanism, and an adhesive component are located on the plate-shaped structure. The rod-shaped structure is designed for gripping by the operator.

[0028] In one implementation, the cable reels and tape reels are distributed on both sides of the pole. This facilitates the arrangement of the cable reels and tape reels and reduces the possibility of abnormal tangling of double-sided tape and optical cables.

[0029] In one implementation, the fiber optic cabling tool further includes two support rods, one end of which is connected to the rod body, and the other end extends in opposite directions. A cable reel and a tape reel are respectively located at the other end of the two support rods. Attached Figure Description

[0052] With the development of Fiber to the Home (FTTH) and Fiber to the Room (FTTR), the application of optical cables or optical fibers is becoming more and more widespread, and the construction of optical cable cabling is also increasing.

[0053] In related technologies, double-sided tape is typically used to attach optical cables to the wiring surface in corridors or rooms.

[0054] When using fiber optic cabling tools to lay cables on a flat surface, first peel off the release film from the double-sided tape, then stick the double-sided tape to the cabling surface. Next, attach the cable to the other side of the double-sided tape. Alternatively, first attach the fiber optic cable to the first adhesive side of the double-sided tape, then peel off the release film from the second adhesive side of the double-sided tape, and then stick the second adhesive side of the double-sided tape to the cabling surface. This method results in a more cumbersome cabling process and lower efficiency.

[0055] In view of the above-mentioned technical problems, embodiments of this application provide an optical cable cabling tool. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the fiber optic cabling tool is used to attach fiber optic cable 20 (adhesive-coated fiber optic cable 21) to the cabling plane 100. Figure 1 The direction indicated by the middle arrow is the movement direction of the optical cable cabling tool. As the optical cable cabling tool moves in the direction of the arrow shown in the figure, the optical cable 20 is continuously adhered to the cabling plane. The optical cable 20 can be an optical cable used only for transmitting optical signals, or it can be a composite optical-electrical cable used for transmitting both optical and electrical signals. Furthermore, the optical cable cabling tool provided in this embodiment can also be used for cabling electrical wires, simply by replacing the optical cable 20 in the optical cable cabling tool with an electrical wire.

[0056] The optical cable cabling tools provided in the embodiments of this application will now be described.

[0057] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the fiber optic cable cabling tool includes a pole 1, and a cable reel 2, a tape reel 3, a bonding mechanism 4, a peeling mechanism 5, and an adhesive component 6, all mounted on the pole 1. The cable reel 2 and tape reel 3 are rotatable. The cable reel 2 is used to wind the fiber optic cable 20, and the tape reel 3 is used to wind double-sided adhesive tape 30. Figure 3As shown, the double-sided tape 30 includes a first adhesive surface 31 and a second adhesive surface 32, with a release film 33 on the second adhesive surface 32. The bonding mechanism 4 includes a first clamping member 41 and a second clamping member 42. The optical cable 20 and the double-sided tape 30 are inserted between the first clamping member 41 and the second clamping member 42. The first clamping member 41 and the second clamping member 42 are used to bond the optical cable 20 and the first adhesive surface 31 of the double-sided tape 30 together to obtain an adhesive-coated optical cable 21. The peeling mechanism 5 is used to peel off the release film 33 from the adhesive-coated optical cable 21, and the adhesive member 6 is used to press the second adhesive surface 32 of the adhesive-coated optical cable 21 onto the wiring plane and move it within the wiring plane.

[0058] The technical solution provided in this application embodiment involves the operator first attaching the optical cable 20 to the first adhesive surface 31 of the double-sided tape 30 when using the optical cable cabling tool, and then passing the optical cable 20 and the double-sided tape 30 between the first clamping member 41 and the second clamping member 42. Next, a portion of the release film 33 of the double-sided tape 30 is peeled off, and the release film 33 is then connected to the peeling mechanism 5. Finally, the adhesive-coated optical cable 21, after the release film 33 has been peeled off, is wound around the adhesive member 6.

[0059] During the cabling process, the operator holds the rod 1 and presses the adhesive-coated optical cable 21 with its second adhesive surface 32 onto the cabling plane using the adhesive attaching component 6. The component moves across the cabling plane, pulling the adhesive-coated optical cable 21 outwards. As the adhesive-coated optical cable 21 is pulled outwards, the cable reel 2 and tape reel 3 rotate under the drive of the optical cable 20 and double-sided adhesive tape 30, respectively, continuously releasing the optical cable 20 and double-sided adhesive tape 30. Simultaneously, the first clamping component 41 and the second clamping component 42 continuously adhere the optical cable 20 and the first adhesive surface 31 of the double-sided adhesive tape 30, continuously producing the adhesive-coated optical cable 21. Furthermore, the peeling mechanism 5 peels off the release film 33 from the adhesive-coated optical cable 21. Thus, as the adhesive attaching component 6 moves across the cabling plane, it always has the adhesive-coated optical cable 21 attached, and the adhesive-coated optical cable 21 never has the release film 33, allowing the second adhesive surface 32 of the double-sided adhesive tape 30 at the adhesive attaching component 6 to be directly adhered to the cabling plane. This reduces the number of steps involved in wiring and improves wiring efficiency.

[0060] In some examples, such as Figure 2 As shown, the rod 1 can be extended and shortened. This allows the length of the rod 1 to be adjusted, enabling the fiber optic cabling tool to lay cables at different locations on the cabling plane.

[0061] In some examples, such as Figure 2 As shown, the rod body 1 includes a fixed rod 11 and a telescopic rod 12. The fixed rod 11 loops around the telescopic rod 12, and the telescopic rod 12 can slide along the axial direction of the fixed rod 11. The cable reel 2, tape reel 3, bonding mechanism 4, peeling mechanism 5, and adhesive component 6 are located on the telescopic rod 12.

[0062] like Figure 2 As shown, the first clamping member 41 and the second clamping member 42 are used to bond the optical cable 20 and the first adhesive surface 31 of the double-sided adhesive tape 30 together to obtain the adhesive-coated optical cable 21. To ensure a sufficiently firm bond between the optical cable 20 and the first adhesive surface 31, the distance between the edges of the first clamping member 41 and the second clamping member 42 needs to be relatively close. However, this easily leads to greater friction between the adhesive-coated optical cable 21 and the first clamping member 41 and the second clamping member 42, making it difficult for the adhesive-coated optical cable 21 to move between the first clamping member 41 and the second clamping member 42, that is, making it difficult for the adhesive-coated optical cable 21 to extend.

[0063] Therefore, in some examples, the first clamping member 41 is a first roller, and / or the second clamping member 42 is a second roller. Assuming the first clamping member 41 is the first roller, during the elongation of the adhesive-coated optical cable 21, the adhesive-coated optical cable 21 can pull the first clamping member 41 to rotate, thereby making the adhesive-coated optical cable 21 easy to move between the first clamping member 41 and the second clamping member 42, and thus making the adhesive-coated optical cable 21 easy to pull at the adhesive member 6.

[0064] Similarly, if the second clamping member 42 is the second roller, the friction between the adhesive-coated optical cable 21 and the second clamping member 42 will be smaller, and the adhesive-coated optical cable 21 will be able to move easily between the first clamping member 41 and the second clamping member 42, thereby making it easier for the adhesive-coated optical cable 21 to be pulled at the adhesive member 6.

[0065] Furthermore, the first clamping member 41 can be set as the first roller, and the second clamping member 42 can be set as the second roller. In this way, the adhesive-coated optical cable 21 can simultaneously pull the first clamping member 41 and the second clamping member 42 to rotate, thereby making it easy for the adhesive-coated optical cable 21 to move between the first clamping member 41 and the second clamping member 42, and thus making it easy for the adhesive-coated optical cable 21 to be pulled at the adhesive member 6.

[0066] like Figure 4 As shown, in order to ensure that the distance between the edges of the first clamping member 41 and the second clamping member 42 is set close, in some examples, the fitting mechanism 4 also includes a first elastic member 43. Wherein, Figure 4 This is a partial structural diagram of the optical cable wiring tool on the side of the rod 1 facing away from the first clamping member 41. To more clearly illustrate the structure of the bonding mechanism 4, Figure 4 The rod body 1 is made transparent. The first elastic element 43 is connected to the first clamping element 41 or the second clamping element 42. The first elastic element 43 is used to drive the first clamping element 41 and the second clamping element 42 to clamp the optical cable 20 and the double-sided tape 30.

[0067] In some examples, one end of the first elastic element 43 is fixed to the rod 1 (telescopic rod 12), and the other end is connected to the first clamping element 41. When the first clamping element 41 is the first roller, one end of the first elastic element 43 can be rotatably connected to the rotation axis of the first roller. The first elastic element 43 can be in a stretched state, allowing it to apply a pulling force to the first clamping element 41 close to the second clamping element 42. Alternatively, the first elastic element 43 can be in a compressed state, allowing it to apply a pushing force to the first clamping element 41 close to the second clamping element 42. Similarly, one end of the first elastic element 43 can be fixed to the rod, and the other end can be connected to the second clamping element 42.

[0068] In other examples, the two ends of the first elastic member 43 are connected to the first clamping member 41 and the second clamping member 42 respectively, so that the first clamping member 41 and the second clamping member 42 can also be driven to clamp the optical cable 20 and the double-sided tape 30.

[0069] For example, the rod body 1 has a sliding hole or slide rail, and the first clamping member 41 is slidably connected to the sliding hole or slide rail. When assembling the optical cable wiring tool, the first elastic member 43 can pull the first clamping member 41 to slide in a direction close to the second clamping member 42, so that the first clamping member 41 and the second clamping member 42 clamp the optical cable 20 and the double-sided tape 30.

[0070] like Figure 5 As shown, in some other examples, the bonding mechanism 4 also includes a rotating rod 44. Wherein, Figure 5 This is a partial structural diagram of the optical cable wiring tool on the side of the rod 1 facing away from the first clamping member 41. The diagram is designed to more clearly illustrate the structure of the bonding mechanism 4. Figure 5 The rod body 1 is made transparent. One end of the rotating rod 44 is rotatably connected to the rod body 1, and the other end is rotatably connected to the first clamping member 41. One end of the first elastic member 43 is connected to the rod body 1, and the other end is connected to the rod body of the rotating rod 44. The first elastic member 43 can be in a stretched state, thereby applying a pulling force to the rotating rod 44 close to the second clamping member 42, which in turn causes the rotating rod 44 to drive the first clamping member 41 close to the second clamping member 42, so that the first clamping member 41 and the second clamping member 42 can clamp the adhesive-coated optical cable 21.

[0071] Understandably, in order to avoid interference between the first elastic element 43 and the adhesive-coated optical cable 21, the first elastic element 43 is located on the side of the rod body 1 facing away from the first clamping element 41.

[0072] The following is an exemplary description of how the stripping mechanism 5 is implemented.

[0073] In some examples, such as Figure 6As shown, the peeling mechanism 5 includes a third roller 51 and a third clamping member 52. The release film 33 is inserted between the third roller 51 and the third clamping member 52 and clamped by them. Before using the fiber optic cable wiring tool, the operator first attaches the fiber optic cable 20 to the first adhesive surface 31 of the double-sided tape 30, then passes the fiber optic cable 20 and the double-sided tape 30 between the first clamping member 41 and the second clamping member 42. Then, a portion of the release film 33 is peeled off from the double-sided tape 30, and the release film 33 is then inserted between the third roller 51 and the third clamping member 52.

[0074] Because the release film 33 is clamped by the third roller 51 and the third clamping member 52, there is friction between the release film 33 and the third roller 51. Thus, when the third roller 51 rolls, it can gradually move the release film 33. This allows the rotation of the third roller 51 to continuously peel the release film 33 from the adhesive-coated optical cable 21 during the movement of the adhesive member 6.

[0075] The third roller 51 can be driven by a motor, which would result in a faster rotation speed, thus allowing the release film 33 to peel off from the adhesive optical cable 21 more quickly. When the adhesive component 6 moves slowly, the adhesive optical cable 21 at the adhesive component 6 also moves slowly. This can cause some of the adhesive optical cable 21 to accumulate between the third roller 51 and the bonding mechanism 4. If the accumulated adhesive optical cable 21 is long, it may become knotted or tangled on the rod 1, thus affecting the wiring progress.

[0076] Therefore, in some examples, such as Figure 6 As shown, the adhesive-coated optical cable 21, passing between the first clamping member 41 and the second clamping member 42, is bonded to the third roller 51. During the movement of the bonding member 6, the adhesive-coated optical cable 21 is pulled and drives the third roller 51 to rotate. This ensures that regardless of whether the speed of the adhesive-coated optical cable 21 at the bonding member 6 is faster or slower, the moving speed of the adhesive-coated optical cable 21 is the same as the linear speed of the edge of the third roller 51. This ensures that the release film 33 peels off from the adhesive-coated optical cable 21 at the same speed as the moving speed of the adhesive-coated optical cable 21 at the bonding member 6, thereby preventing some of the adhesive-coated optical cable 21 from accumulating between the third roller 51 and the bonding mechanism 4.

[0077] To ensure that the adhesive-coated optical cable 21 can pull the third roller 51 to rotate, there should be significant friction between the adhesive-coated optical cable 21 and the third roller 51, thereby preventing slippage between them. Therefore, if Figure 6As shown, in some examples, the optical cable wiring tool also includes a first limiting member 7 and a second limiting member 8 disposed on the rod body 1. The adhesive-coated optical cable 21, passing between the first clamping member 41 and the second clamping member 42, sequentially wraps around one side of the first limiting member 7, one side of the third roller 51, and one side of the second limiting member 8. The optical cable 20 of the adhesive-coated optical cable 21 adheres to the first limiting member 7 and the second limiting member 8, and the double-sided adhesive tape 30 of the adhesive-coated optical cable 21 adheres to the third roller 51, and the adhesive-coated optical cable 21 is compressed into an arc shape by the third roller 51. This allows the adhesive-coated optical cable 21 to wrap around a portion of the structure of the third roller 51, thereby creating a large frictional force between the adhesive-coated optical cable 21 and the third roller 51, enabling the adhesive-coated optical cable 21 to pull the third roller 51 to rotate when it moves.

[0078] For example, both the first limiting member 7 and the second limiting member 8 can be rollers, in which case the first limiting member 7 and the second limiting member 8 can be regarded as tensioning wheels. When the adhesive-coated optical cable 21 moves, the adhesive-coated optical cable 21 can drive the first limiting member 7 and the second limiting member 8 to rotate, thereby avoiding sliding friction between the adhesive-coated optical cable 21 and the first limiting member 7 and the second limiting member 8, and thus avoiding large wear on the adhesive-coated optical cable 21 at the first limiting member 7 and the second limiting member 8.

[0079] In some examples, such as Figure 7 As shown, the third clamping element 52 is the fourth roller. Since the third roller 51 and the fourth roller are used to clamp the release film 33, when the third roller 51 rotates, the third roller 51 can drive the fourth roller to rotate through the release film 33. In this way, the friction between the release film 33 and the fourth roller is reduced, which is beneficial for the release film 33 to pass through the space between the third roller 51 and the fourth roller.

[0080] Understandably, the rotation direction of the third clamping member 52 is opposite to that of the fourth roller. At the point where the third clamping member 52 contacts the adhesive-coated optical cable 21, the rotation direction of the third clamping member 52 is the same as the movement direction of the adhesive-coated optical cable 21. If the adhesive-coated optical cable 21 and the fourth roller come into contact, the fourth roller will be subjected to driving forces in two directions, thus preventing the fourth roller from rotating.

[0081] Therefore, the fiber optic cable laying tool also includes a third limiting member 9 located on the pole 1. The adhesive-coated fiber optic cable 21 passes around the second limiting member 8 and then around the third limiting member 9. The third limiting member 9 is located between the adhesive-coated fiber optic cable 21 and the fourth roller to prevent the adhesive-coated fiber optic cable 21 from contacting the fourth roller. This ensures that there is no interference between the movement of the adhesive-coated fiber optic cable 21 and the rotation of the fourth roller.

[0082] For example, the fiber optic cable routing tool may include two third limiting members 9, both of which are disposed between the adhesive-coated fiber optic cable 21 and the fourth roller. This further prevents the adhesive-coated fiber optic cable 21 from contacting the fourth roller.

[0083] In some examples, such as Figure 8 As shown, the peeling mechanism 5 also includes a second elastic element 53. Wherein, Figure 8 This is a partial structural diagram of the optical cable wiring tool on the side of the rod 1 facing away from the third roller 51. The diagram is designed to more clearly illustrate the structure of the bonding mechanism 4. Figure 8 The rod 1 is made transparent. The second elastic element 53 is connected to the third roller 51 or the third clamping element 52, and drives the third roller 51 and the third clamping element 52 to clamp the release film 33. In this way, there is a large friction between the third roller 51 and the release film 33, so that the release film 33 can be moved when the third roller 51 rotates.

[0084] For example, one end of the second elastic member 53 is fixed to the rod body 1, and the other end is connected to the shaft of the third roller 51. The second elastic member 53 can be in a stretched state, applying a pulling force close to the third clamping member 52 to the shaft of the third roller 51. The rod body 1 may have a sliding hole through which the shaft of the third roller 51 passes, and the shaft of the third roller 51 can slide in the sliding hole in a direction close to the third clamping member 52.

[0085] In other examples, the two ends of the second elastic element 53 are connected to the third roller 51 and the third clamping element 52, respectively.

[0086] In addition to the peeling mechanism 5 described above, this application embodiment also provides another peeling mechanism 5, such as... Figure 9 As shown, the peeling mechanism 5 includes a release film disc 54, which is rotatably mounted on the rod 1. The release film disc 54 is used to wrap the release film 33. During the movement of the adhesive component 6, the release film disc 54 rotates, driving the release film 33 to be continuously peeled off from the adhesive optical cable 21, and the peeled release film 33 is then wrapped around the adhesive component. The release film disc 54 can be driven by a motor.

[0087] Before using the fiber optic cable cabling tool, the operator first attaches the fiber optic cable 20 to the first adhesive surface 31 of the double-sided tape 30, and then passes the fiber optic cable 20 and the double-sided tape 30 between the first clamping member 41 and the second clamping member 42. Next, a portion of the release film 33 is peeled off from the double-sided tape 30, and the release film 33 is then wrapped several times around the release film reel 54. Then, the fiber optic cable 21 with the release film 33 removed is wrapped around the adhesive member 6. Finally, the adhesive member 6 presses the second adhesive surface 32 of the fiber optic cable 21 onto the cabling plane and moves it within the cabling plane.

[0088] In some examples, such as Figure 9 As shown, the release film reel 54 is connected to the cable reel 2 or the tape reel 3 via a transmission mechanism. During the movement of the adhesive component 6, the cable reel 2 and the tape reel 3 rotate, releasing the optical cable 20 and the double-sided adhesive tape 30 respectively, and the cable reel 2 or the tape reel 3 drives the release film reel 54 to rotate.

[0089] The tape reel 3 or cable reel 2 has a gear structure on its edge, and the release film reel 54 also has a gear structure on its edge. The gear structure of the tape reel 3 or cable reel 2 meshes with the gear structure of the release film reel 54. When the adhesive component 6 moves, the adhesive-coated optical cable 21 pulls the cable reel 2 and tape reel 3 to rotate. Driven by the cable reel 2 or tape reel 3, the release film reel 54 rotates, thereby causing the release film 33 to gradually wrap around the release film reel 54.

[0090] For example, when the tape reel 3 and the release film reel 54 are connected in a transmission manner, the tape reel 3 includes a first reel body 301 and a second reel body 302 fixedly connected along the axial direction. The outer diameters of the first reel body 301 and the second reel body 302 are different. Double-sided tape 30 is wound around the first reel body 301, and the edge of the second reel body 302 has a gear structure. The release film reel 54 may include a third reel body 541 and a fourth reel body 542 fixedly connected along the axial direction. The outer diameters of the third reel body 541 and the fourth reel body 542 are different. Release film 33 is wound around the third reel body 541, and the edge of the fourth reel body 542 has a gear structure, and the fourth reel body 542 meshes with the second reel body 302.

[0091] In some examples, the adhesive element 6 is a roller for rolling along the wiring plane. This reduces the friction between the adhesive element 6 and the adhesive-coated optical cable 21, facilitating the movement of the adhesive element 6 on the wiring plane.

[0092] Of course, in other examples, the adhesive component 6 can also be fixed to the rod 1 without being rotatably connected to it. When the adhesive component 6 moves on the wiring plane, relative sliding occurs between the adhesive component 6 and the wiring plane. This allows for a simpler structure for the adhesive component 6.

[0093] In other examples, the adhesive 6 is rotatably connected to the rod 1, but the adhesive 6 is not a roller; for example, it can be a rod structure or block structure that can rotate slightly.

[0094] In some examples, such as Figure 2 As shown, cable reel 2 and tape reel 3 are distributed on both sides of pole 1.

[0095] In some examples, the fiber optic cabling tool also includes two support rods 10, one end of which is connected to the rod body 1, and the other end extends in opposite directions. A cable reel 2 and a tape reel 3 are respectively located at the other end of the two support rods 10.

[0096] In some examples, such as Figure 2As shown, the rod 1 includes a rod-shaped structure 101 and a plate-shaped structure 102. A cable reel 2 and a tape reel 3 connect to the rod-shaped structure 101. An bonding mechanism 4, a peeling mechanism 5, and an adhesive member 6 are disposed on the plate-shaped structure 102. In some examples, the bonding mechanism 4 and the peeling mechanism 5 are disposed on one side of the plate-shaped structure 102, and the first elastic member 43 and the second elastic member 53 are disposed on the other side of the plate-shaped structure 102 to prevent the first elastic member 43 and the second elastic member 53 from becoming entangled with the optical cable or double-sided tape.

[0097] This application also provides an optical cable cabling method, which is applied to the aforementioned optical cable cabling tool. For example... Figure 10 As shown, the optical fiber cabling method includes the following steps.

[0098] In step 110, optical cable 20 is drawn from cable reel 2 and double-sided tape 30 is drawn from tape reel 3.

[0099] In step 120, the first adhesive surface 31 of the optical cable 20 and the double-sided tape 30 are attached together, and the optical cable 20 and the double-sided tape 30 are inserted between the first clamping member 41 and the second clamping member 42 to obtain the adhesive-coated optical cable 21.

[0100] In step 130, the release film 33 is peeled off from the adhesive-coated optical cable 21 and connected to the peeling mechanism 5.

[0101] In some examples, where the peeling mechanism 5 includes a third roller 51 and a third clamping member 52, the release film 33 is inserted between the third roller 51 and the third clamping member 52.

[0102] In other examples, if the peeling mechanism 5 includes a release film disc 54, then a section of the release film 33 is wound around the release film disc 54, or one end of the release film 33 is connected to the release film disc 54, such as by adhesive bonding.

[0103] In step 140, the adhesive-coated optical cable 21, from which the release film 33 has been peeled off, is wound around one side of the adhesive component 6.

[0104] In step 150, the hand-held rod 1 is used to press the adhesive-coated optical cable 21 onto the wiring plane and move it within the wiring plane.

[0105] During the movement of the adhesive-coated optical cable 21 on the wiring plane, the adhesive-coated optical cable 21 is pulled outwards. As the adhesive-coated optical cable 21 is pulled outwards, the cable reel 2 and the tape reel 3 rotate under the drive of the optical cable 20 and the double-sided adhesive tape 30, respectively, continuously releasing the optical cable 20 and the double-sided adhesive tape 30. Simultaneously, the first clamping member 41 and the second clamping member 42 continuously bond the first adhesive surface 31 of the optical cable 20 and the double-sided adhesive tape 30, continuously obtaining the adhesive-coated optical cable 21. Furthermore, the peeling mechanism 5 also peels off the release film 33 from the adhesive-coated optical cable 21. Thus, as the adhesive-coated optical cable 21 moves on the wiring plane, it always has the adhesive-coated optical cable 21 at its location, and the adhesive-coated optical cable 21 never has the release film 33, allowing the second adhesive surface 32 of the double-sided adhesive tape 30 at the adhesive-coated optical cable 6 to be directly adhered to the wiring plane.

[0106] It should be noted that the above fiber optic cable laying method is for the first use of the fiber optic cable laying tool. After the first use, the adhesive-coated fiber optic cable 21 can be cut. For subsequent uses of the fiber optic cable laying tool, step 150 can be performed directly until the fiber optic cable 20 wound on the cable reel 2 or the double-sided adhesive tape 30 wound on the tape reel 3 is exhausted. Then, follow steps 110-150 again to lay the fiber optic cable.

[0107] The above description is merely an optional embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
