Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical fiber packaging technology, and in particular to a surface adhesive removal device for packaging optical fiber ceramic ferrules. Background Technology

[0002] Fiber Core Curing and Encapsulation: During the manufacturing process of fiber optic ceramic ferrules, the fiber core needs to be fixed to the ceramic ferrule using curing adhesive to ensure the stability and transmission performance of the optical fiber. During this process, the curing adhesive may overflow onto the surface of the ceramic ferrule, forming an adhesive layer. To maintain the surface finish of the ceramic ferrule and improve the performance indicators of the fiber optic connector, such as insertion loss and return loss, the cured adhesive layer must be removed.

[0003] The cured adhesive layer is tightly bonded to the surface of the ceramic ferrule, making removal difficult. Incomplete removal may affect the surface quality of the ceramic ferrule and subsequent processing; excessive removal may damage the ceramic ferrule surface and reduce its performance. The adhesive removal process requires precise control to ensure that the adhesive layer is removed without damaging the ceramic ferrule. This demands high precision, high efficiency, and high reliability in the adhesive removal technology. With the rapid development of fiber optic communication technology, the performance requirements for fiber optic connectors are becoming increasingly stringent. As the core component of fiber optic connectors, the surface quality of the ceramic ferrule directly affects the connector's performance.

[0004] Traditional adhesive removal methods involve using sapphire crystal tips to remove the excess adhesive layer from the surface of each encapsulated ferrule under a microscope. This requires a high level of skill from the operator, as the adhesive layer must be removed without scratching the ferrule's appearance. Improper handling can lead to breakage or shattering of the fiber core at the ferrule's PC end. Manual adhesive removal is inefficient and has a low yield rate, making it unsuitable for large-scale mass production. Utility Model Content
