Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of optical fiber take-up reel technology, and in particular relates to an optical fiber take-up reel with adaptive tension adjustment. Background Technology

[0002] A fiber optic take-up reel is a specialized device designed specifically for optical fibers or cables. It is mainly used for winding, storing, and transporting optical fibers during production, construction, and maintenance. Through structural design, it achieves reliable protection and tension management of the optical fiber. Its core structure typically includes an inner drum for winding the optical fiber, side baffles to fix the optical fiber and prevent it from falling off, and a central shaft adapted to take-up and take-up equipment. Materials include metal, wood, engineering plastics, etc., and some use renewable materials such as bamboo strips to improve environmental performance.

[0003] Traditional adaptive tension-adjustable fiber optic take-up reels have significant shortcomings in tension control and impurity cleaning. In terms of tension adjustment, they mostly rely on mechanical structures or simple feedback mechanisms, which are difficult to respond dynamically to changes in fiber tension in real time. They are prone to tension instability due to adjustment lag or insufficient precision, resulting in problems such as fiber stretching deformation, loosening, or uneven winding. In terms of impurity cleaning, traditional take-up reels are generally not equipped with cleaning systems, and cannot clean debris, dust, and other impurities that fall off the fiber surface during take-up in real time.

[0004] To address these issues, we offer an adaptive tension-adjustable fiber optic take-up reel. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an adaptive tension-adjustable fiber optic take-up reel. Through the cooperation of the tension adjustment mechanism and the cleaning mechanism, it solves the problems of fiber optic stretching deformation, loosening or uneven winding in the prior art, and the inability to clean impurities that fall off the surface of the fiber optic cable in real time during the take-up process.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution.

[0007] This utility model relates to an adaptive tension-adjustable fiber optic take-up reel, comprising a base plate, a tension adjustment mechanism fixedly connected to the top of the base plate, and a cleaning mechanism provided at the bottom of the base plate. The tension adjustment mechanism includes a support block, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the base plate. A take-up reel is movably connected between the support blocks. A motor is fixedly connected to one side of the support block, and the motor's output end passes through the support block and is fixedly connected to the take-up reel. Support plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the base plate, and a transmission component is movably connected to the top of each support plate. An adjusting roller is movably connected to one side of the transmission component. An electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate, and a threaded rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric telescopic rod. A limiting sleeve for use with the threaded rod is fixedly connected to one side of each support plate. An adjusting plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the threaded rod, and the top of the adjusting plate is movably connected to the transmission component. The cleaning mechanism includes a cleaning box, with its top fixedly connected to a base plate. A collection cover is fixedly connected to the surface of the base plate, and the bottom of the collection cover is connected to the cleaning box. A fan is connected to the back of the cleaning box, and a filter plate is inserted into one side of the cleaning box. A motor provides power to drive the take-up reel to take up the fiber at a uniform speed. An electric telescopic rod drives a threaded rod to move, and an adjusting plate, in conjunction with a transmission component, changes the height of the adjusting roller, thereby adjusting the fiber path length. The fan of the cleaning mechanism draws in impurities from the fiber surface through the collection cover, which are then purified by the filter plate inside the cleaning box and discharged. A dynamic adaptive tension adjustment system responds in real time to changes in fiber tension, preventing fiber stretching, deformation, loosening, or knotting caused by unstable tension, thus improving take-up accuracy. The integrated cleaning device continuously removes debris and dust, preventing impurities from scratching the fiber surface, ensuring fiber transmission performance, and reducing quality risks in subsequent processes.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the transmission component includes a rotating plate, one side of which is movably connected to a support plate, and a connecting plate is movably connected to the top side of the rotating plate. One side of the connecting plate is movably connected to an adjusting roller. The rotating plate and the support plate are movably connected, and the connecting plate connects the rotating plate and the adjusting roller, thereby converting the rotation of the adjusting plate into the up-and-down movement of the adjusting roller, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted adjustment process. The linkage transmission structure amplifies the minute displacement of the adjusting plate, thereby achieving precise positioning of the adjusting roller.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that a fixed plate is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate, a guide roller is movably connected between the fixed plates via bearings, a push rod is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate, the surface of the push rod is provided with anti-slip texture, the guide roller is fixed to the fixed plate via bearings, guides the optical fiber to wind along a preset path, and the anti-slip texture on the surface of the push rod facilitates manual adjustment of the equipment position or emergency braking, reducing the accumulation or overlap at the edge of the take-up reel.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that a storage box is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base plate, the back of the storage box is fixedly connected to the cleaning box, a handle is fixedly connected to the surface of the storage box, the storage box is fixedly connected to the cleaning box, and the handle is used to pull out the storage box to clean the sediment.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that a support plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the push rod, a control panel is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate, and a display screen is fixedly connected to the surface of the control panel. The support plate on the inner wall of the push rod enhances the structural rigidity, and the control panel integrates a display screen to display parameters such as the current tension value and the winding speed in real time.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that a sealing plate is fixedly connected to one side of the filter plate, and a handle is fixedly connected to the surface of the sealing plate. The sealing plate on one side of the filter plate is snapped to the cleaning box. The handle facilitates quick disassembly and replacement of the filter plate. The sealing plate prevents secondary pollution of the purified air. The quick-release design improves the maintenance efficiency of the filter plate and ensures the long-term efficient operation of the cleaning system.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that a fixing plate is fixedly connected to both sides of the cleaning box and the storage box, a fixing sleeve is provided through the fixing plate, a fixing screw is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing sleeve, and a brake block is fixedly connected to the other end of the fixing screw. The cleaning box and the storage box are connected to the ground or the frame through the fixing sleeve, the fixing screw and the brake block. The rotation of the screw drives the brake block to press against the ground, preventing the equipment from shifting during high-speed winding vibration, and ensuring the stability and reliability of tension adjustment.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that the bottom of the cleaning box and the storage box are respectively fixedly connected with evenly distributed support legs, and the bottom of the support legs are fixedly connected with rollers. The support legs at the bottom of the cleaning box and the storage box are equipped with rollers to support the free movement of the equipment, taking into account the needs of production line layout adjustment and stability during operation.

[0015] The present invention has the following beneficial effects.

[0016] 1. The linkage structure of the electric telescopic rod, threaded rod and adjusting roller of this utility model realizes the automatic adaptive adjustment of tension during the optical fiber take-up process. When the optical fiber tension changes, the electric telescopic rod can accurately control the up and down displacement of the adjusting roller. By shortening or increasing the effective path length of the optical fiber between the guide roller and the take-up reel, the tension of the optical fiber is dynamically balanced, avoiding the problem of optical fiber stretching deformation or loosening caused by unstable tension, and significantly improving the uniformity of optical fiber take-up and the quality of finished products.

[0017] 2. The negative pressure airflow generated by the fan in this utility model, combined with the combination design of the collection cover and the filter plate, realizes continuous cleaning and efficient filtration of impurities on the surface of the optical fiber. During the winding process, the fan drives the airflow to suck the debris, dust and other impurities that fall off the surface of the optical fiber into the cleaning box in real time. After being intercepted by the filter plate, clean air is discharged, which avoids the adhesion of impurities affecting the performance of the optical fiber or the jamming phenomenon during the winding process. The detachable filter plate makes it easy to clean the collected impurities regularly, and maintenance is convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Optical fiber is wound onto the surface of the take-up reel 22 through the gap between the guide roller 4 and the adjusting roller 25. The motor 23 is started, driving the take-up reel 22 to rotate and wind the optical fiber at a uniform speed. When the tension of the optical fiber changes, the tension adjusting mechanism 2 is adjusted. When the tension of the optical fiber decreases, the electric telescopic rod 26 is activated. The electric telescopic rod 26 extends, driving the threaded rod 27 forward. The threaded rod 27 drives the adjusting plate 29 to rotate clockwise. The adjusting plate 29 drives the connecting plate 242 to move downwards. The connecting plate 242 drives the adjusting roller 25 to move downwards, shortening the distance of the optical fiber from the guide roller 4 to the take-up reel. The effective path length between 22 keeps the optical fiber taut. When the optical fiber tension increases, the electric telescopic rod 26 is shortened in the reverse operation, causing the adjusting roller 25 to move upward, increasing the effective path length between the optical fiber and the guide roller 4 and the take-up reel 22, thereby absorbing some of the excessive tension. At the same time, the cleaning mechanism 3 continues to work, the fan 33 starts, and a negative pressure airflow is generated in the cleaning box 31. The debris, dust and other impurities that fall off the surface of the optical fiber are sucked into the cleaning box 31 through the collection cover 32, filtered by the filter plate 34, and the clean air is discharged. The impurities collected by the filter plate 34 can be periodically cleaned by pulling out the filter plate 34 through the handle.

The present specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments in order to better explain the principle and practical application of the present utility model, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and utilize the present utility model.
