Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of optical fiber stripping technology, and in particular relates to a fiber stripping device. Background Technology
[0002] In today's rapidly developing information society, optical fiber communication, with its advantages of high speed, low loss, and large capacity, has become a key infrastructure for modern communication networks. The application scale of optical fiber in various fields such as data centers, broadcast networks, smart grids, and 5G base stations is constantly expanding, and its performance and quality directly affect the reliability and security of information transmission. With the continuous increase in communication demands, the precision and efficiency of coating removal during optical fiber processing have become increasingly important, affecting not only the appearance quality of the finished product but also the stability of optical signal transmission. Therefore, how to effectively remove coatings during optical fiber production and field maintenance has always been a significant technical challenge and research hotspot in the industry.
[0003] Currently, common fiber stripping methods are mainly divided into mechanical stripping and thermal stripping. Mechanical stripping is simple in structure and easy to use; however, operators rely heavily on experience to control the force and angle of tool grip, which can easily cause scratches or even breakage on the fiber surface. For multi-core fibers, repeated operations are required, which is both time-consuming and difficult to guarantee consistency. In contrast, thermal stripping uses a heat source to soften the coating layer, resulting in less damage to the fiber body during stripping and better maintenance of fiber coaxiality. However, existing thermal stripping devices generally have shortcomings in terms of equipment structure and automation: they are relatively bulky, making them inconvenient to use in mobile environments; their control precision is limited, and temperature fluctuations can easily lead to unstable stripping quality; their support for multi-core fibers is incomplete, failing to meet the diverse construction needs in complex networking environments. In addition, omnidirectional fixation of the fiber during the stripping process also faces certain technical challenges. If the positioning mechanism cannot stably align with the fiber axis during operation, the risk of uneven coating stripping will be significantly increased.
[0004] However, in the applications of the aforementioned thermal or mechanical fiber stripping devices, many unresolved technical issues remain: for example, how to maintain stable coaxiality and effective heat concentration during fiber stripping to avoid overheating or insufficient temperature; how to achieve efficient stripping while ensuring multi-core fiber compatibility and reducing environmental pollution; how to achieve miniaturization and mobility of the device while maintaining stripping effectiveness to adapt to the flexibility of on-site construction; and the lack of precise motion control and temperature feedback mechanisms in terms of equipment automation and remote monitoring. These shortcomings are difficult to fully address or effectively resolve in existing technical solutions. Therefore, there is an urgent need for corresponding improvements and breakthroughs in the field of fiber stripping to further improve processing efficiency and process quality, reduce production costs, and enhance safety in use.

[0016] One end of the magnetic stripping cover is hinged to the stripping seat, and the other end is snapped into place with the stripping seat by magnetic attraction, so that the V-shaped blades of the upper and lower blades overlap to clamp the optical fiber.
[0017] The upper and lower blades are arranged in parallel, and multiple sets of upper and lower blades can be set to meet the synchronous stripping of multi-core optical fibers.
[0018] Furthermore, both the base plate and the fiber stripping seat are equipped with anti-slip mechanisms to reduce vibration and prevent relative displacement when the device moves or performs fiber stripping operations.
[0019] Furthermore, the heating mechanism is equipped with a temperature sensor and connected to a control mechanism, which precisely adjusts the output power of the heating mechanism based on the temperature information from the temperature sensor.

[0023] Furthermore, the programmable logic controller is connected to an external communication interface, enabling data interaction with a host computer or other automated equipment;
[0024] The host computer can set the fiber stripping parameters and monitor the heating temperature, moving speed and stripping length in real time, realizing remote management and parallel control of multiple devices.

[0028] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0029] This invention provides a fiber stripping device. By sliding a positioning mechanism on a base plate and fixing the stripping mechanism to the base plate, the optical cable to be stripped maintains good axial alignment and heat transfer efficiency in the heating tank, significantly reducing uneven stress and local overheating of the fiber coating. The built-in heating mechanism effectively shortens the conduction path between the stripping area and the heat source, preventing the high temperature from spreading to surrounding components. Simultaneously, precise temperature regulation is achieved through a temperature sensor and control panel, ensuring the softening of the coating while reducing the risk of fiber breakage or attenuation. Furthermore, the ingenious structure combining the positioning mechanism and magnetic components improves assembly and disassembly speed and significantly reduces the intensity of manual operation, providing an efficient and stable operating mode for batch fiber stripping. By combining mechanical stripping with heat assistance, this device demonstrates excellent comprehensive performance in maintaining fiber coaxiality, improving stripping efficiency, and maintaining stripping quality. Further expansion with programmable logic controllers, electromagnetic drive mechanisms, or external communication interfaces can further enhance automation and enable remote management, providing more mature and flexible technical support for fiber processing and maintenance in production workshops and outdoor environments.

[0032] The fiber stripping device of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments. For the sake of simplicity, this document cannot exhaustively list all alternative technical features and implementation schemes included in this utility model. Therefore, those skilled in the art should understand that any technical feature and implementation scheme within this embodiment does not limit the protection scope of this utility model, which includes all alternative technical features and implementation schemes adopted by those skilled in the art without creative effort. Specifically, any implementation scheme obtained by replacing any technical feature in this utility model or combining any two or more technical features provided by this utility model should be within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0033] This embodiment provides a fiber stripping device 1, including:
[0034] Base plate 10;
[0035] The positioning mechanism 20 is slidably mounted on the base plate 10 and is used to position the optical cable to be stripped. The positioning mechanism 20 is provided with a positioning groove 21 to place and fix the optical cable to be stripped.
[0036] The fiber stripping mechanism 30 is fixedly mounted on the base plate 10 and is used to mechanically strip the fiber coating layer; the fiber stripping mechanism 30 is provided with a heating groove 31 for accommodating the fiber and providing a heating area.
[0037] The heating mechanism is located inside the fiber stripping mechanism 30 and provides a heat source for the heating tank 31 to heat and soften the fiber coating layer located in the heating tank 31.
[0038] The positioning mechanism 20 can slide along the optical fiber axis on the base plate 10 relative to the fiber stripping mechanism 30, thereby realizing automatic or semi-automatic stripping of the optical fiber coating.
[0039] In one feasible implementation, the entire fiber stripping device 1 mainly consists of a base plate 10, a positioning mechanism 20, a stripping mechanism 30, and a heating mechanism. During use, the technician first places the optical cable to be stripped into the positioning groove 21 of the positioning mechanism 20 and securely locks it in place using a corresponding fixing structure (such as a magnetic positioning cover 23). Then, in the stripping mechanism 30 fixed on the base plate 10, the optical fiber coating layer is aligned with the heating groove 31, facilitating the softening treatment of the coating layer by the heating mechanism during the stripping process. At this time, the positioning mechanism 20 can slide along the optical fiber axis on the base plate 10, introducing the optical cable segment by segment into the stripping mechanism 30, reducing human error and shaking during operation, and making the stripping of the optical fiber coating more precise. By installing a temperature sensor and control panel 41 in the heating groove 31, the technician can monitor and adjust the heat distribution in real time, avoiding incomplete stripping caused by excessive heat concentration or insufficient temperature. Compared with the traditional cold stripping method, the core of this embodiment lies in the ingenious combination of mechanical stripping and heat-assisted stripping, which better maintains the coaxiality and overall strength of the optical fiber and reduces the impact of manual operation on the stripping quality.
[0040] Because the heating mechanism is deeply integrated within the fiber stripping mechanism 30, the heat transfer path is effectively shortened, while reducing the impact of external heat dissipation. In on-site construction or small workbench environments, operators can carry this device and quickly and continuously strip optical cables of different specifications. By combining fixed and sliding mechanisms, the stripping quality is ensured while improving the efficiency of a single operation and reducing the risk of pulling and secondary damage to the optical fiber. For large-scale optical fiber connection operations, this device significantly shortens the production cycle and reduces rework rates and material waste.
[0041] In some embodiments, the positioning mechanism 20 includes a positioning seat 22, a magnetic positioning cover plate 23 and a magnetic guide rail 24, and a positioning groove 21 is disposed on the positioning seat 22;
[0042] One end of the magnetic positioning cover 23 is hinged to the positioning seat 22, and the other end is magnetically attached to the positioning seat 22 to fully cover the positioning groove 21 and securely lock the optical cable to be stripped.
[0043] The bottom of the positioning base 22 is provided with a magnetic guide rail 24, which is used to make the positioning mechanism 20 slide smoothly along the optical fiber axis on the base plate 10 and maintain coaxiality.
[0044] In one implementation, the positioning mechanism 20 specifically comprises three main components: a positioning base 22, a magnetic positioning cover 23, and a magnetic guide rail 24. The positioning groove 21 on the positioning base 22 matches the outer diameter of the optical cable to be stripped. When the optical cable is placed in the groove, it is closed by the magnetic positioning cover 23 hinged at one end, while the other end is magnetically attached to the positioning base 22, achieving multi-directional fixation of the optical cable. To balance operational flexibility and reliability, a magnetic guide rail 24 is configured at the bottom of the positioning base 22. Through a metal slide or a corresponding guide rail material, the positioning mechanism 20 can slide smoothly along the optical fiber axis on the base plate 10, maintaining coaxiality with the optical fiber core axis. This structure ensures that the optical cable will not deviate or tilt when pushed or pulled for stripping, thus achieving precise cutting at the cutting edge.
[0045] This positioning mechanism 20 reduces the difficulty for technicians in controlling the fiber angle and tension during the actual stripping process, lowering the risk of fiber breakage or incomplete coating stripping due to improper angle or uneven force. Furthermore, the ingenious combination of the magnetic cover plate and guide rail makes disassembly and relocation more convenient, suitable for complex conditions such as small-batch, multi-variety stripping or alternating stripping on-site. Simultaneously, the robust and quick locking method facilitates subsequent verification of the stripping effect using CCD or other detection devices, reducing the time wasted on repeated clamping.
[0046] In some embodiments, the fiber stripping mechanism 30 includes a fiber stripping seat 32, a magnetic fiber stripping cover plate 33, an upper blade (not shown in the figure), and a lower blade 34;
[0047] One end of the magnetic stripping cover plate 33 is hinged to the stripping seat 32, and the other end is snapped closed to the stripping seat 32 by magnetic attraction, so that the V-shaped blades of the upper blade and the lower blade 34 overlap to hold the optical fiber.
[0048] The blades of the upper and lower blades 34 are arranged in parallel, and multiple sets of upper and lower blades 34 can be set to meet the synchronous stripping of multi-core optical fibers.
[0049] In one feasible implementation, the fiber stripping mechanism 30 consists of a stripping seat 32, a magnetic stripping cover 33, an upper blade, and a lower blade 34, wherein the stripping seat 32 is fixed to the base plate 10. After the optical fiber enters the stripping seat 32, the magnetic stripping cover 33 is connected to the stripping seat 32 at one end by a hinge, allowing for flexible opening and closing. In the closed state, the other end of the cover is tightly attached to the stripping seat 32 by magnetic force, causing the upper and lower blades 34 to form precisely aligned V-shaped cutting edges. If multiple optical fibers need to be stripped simultaneously, multiple sets of upper and lower blades 34 can be arranged side by side on the stripping seat 32, and cutting can be performed simultaneously through the parallel cutting edges. This structure not only saves alignment time in single-core optical fiber operations but also allows for the stripping of multiple optical fibers at once in multi-core operations, significantly improving production efficiency.
[0050] In this embodiment, since the upper and lower blades 34 are arranged in parallel and the magnetic attraction is used to achieve accurate alignment between the blades, the slight errors caused by manual blade setting or adjustment can be significantly reduced. Furthermore, when multi-core optical fibers are placed in the same stripping holder 32 and enter coaxially, the coating layers of each fiber can be heated simultaneously and neatly stripped, reducing the tedious process of multiple alignments and ensuring consistent appearance quality of the entire fiber bundle. This structure is particularly suitable for fiber end-face processing scenarios requiring high efficiency and high consistency. More importantly, the structure of the magnetic stripping cover 33 makes the opening and closing operation simple and smooth, extending blade life while preventing secondary scratches or accidental entanglement of the optical fiber, thereby extending the service life of the equipment itself while ensuring product qualification rate.
[0051] In some embodiments, both the base plate 10 and the fiber stripping seat 32 are provided with anti-slip mechanisms to reduce vibration and prevent relative displacement when the device moves or performs fiber stripping operations.
[0052] In one embodiment, anti-slip pads and / or positioning protrusions are added to the contact surfaces of the base plate 10 and the fiber stripping seat 32. The anti-slip pads can be made of heat-resistant and wear-resistant materials, such as silicone or polyurethane, to meet the requirements of stability and long service life under heating environments. The positioning protrusions can be customized according to the shape of the bottom of the fiber stripping seat 32, such as a stepped or tongue-and-groove design, to ensure that the fiber stripping seat 32 is not prone to lateral or longitudinal displacement after fixed installation. During use, when the device operates at high temperatures or is subjected to vibration and bumps in outdoor environments, these anti-slip and positioning structures still ensure the bonding strength between the fiber stripping seat 32 and the base plate 10, preventing positional shift or loosening due to vibration.
[0053] By simultaneously installing anti-slip pads and positioning protrusions on the base plate 10 and the fiber stripping seat 32, the overall structural stability and anti-interference capability of the fiber stripping mechanism 30 are significantly improved. Since fiber stripping operations are often accompanied by a certain degree of operating force or environmental vibration, such as in automated conveyor belts in cleanrooms or outdoor pipeline construction, if the device is prone to sliding or shaking, it will directly affect the coaxiality and quality of fiber stripping. Furthermore, when the heating mechanism is activated, the base plate 10 and the fiber stripping seat 32 may experience slight changes due to thermal expansion and contraction; the anti-slip and positioning design can provide fine-tuning and buffering, further preventing loosening of physical connections due to temperature differences.
[0054] In some embodiments, a temperature sensor is provided in the heating mechanism and connected to a control mechanism, and the control mechanism precisely adjusts the output power of the heating mechanism according to the temperature information of the temperature sensor;
[0055] The control mechanism also includes a control panel 41 for displaying the real-time heating temperature and allowing the operator to set the target temperature.
[0056] In some feasible implementations, a temperature sensor is integrated into the heating mechanism and connected to the control mechanism. This can be achieved using a built-in thermocouple or thermistor module, with the heating mechanism and control circuit tightly coupled to achieve rapid and accurate temperature detection. During operation, the temperature sensor feeds back the real-time temperature signal to the control panel 41 or control system. Technicians can accurately understand the temperature at the heating bath 31 through the digital temperature displayed on the panel and can preset a target temperature range on the interface. When the temperature falls below the set range, the system automatically increases the heating power; conversely, it reduces or pauses heating to prevent overheating. This dynamic adjustment significantly simplifies the process of repeated manual adjustments required in traditional heat stripping methods.
[0057] Among the aforementioned feasible methods, on the one hand, precise temperature control can prevent overheating that could lead to melting of the outer layer of the optical fiber or damage to the internal structure, and can also prevent incomplete stripping due to insufficient temperature. On the other hand, real-time temperature monitoring makes fault diagnosis and status assessment more intuitive, and significantly ensures the lifespan and reliability of long-term equipment. For technicians, different brands or models of optical cables may have slightly different coating characteristics; by adjusting the target temperature, various operational requirements can be quickly adapted. At the same time, because the temperature is always within a controlled range, the safety threats to the environment and personnel during the stripping process are greatly reduced.
[0058] In some embodiments, the control mechanism includes a programmable logic controller and an electromagnetic drive mechanism;
[0059] The programmable logic controller controls the electromagnetic drive mechanism to move the positioning mechanism 20 along the base plate 10 according to the fiber stripping length or target position input by the user, and at the same time controls the temperature of the heating mechanism, thereby realizing automatic or semi-automatic stripping of the fiber coating.
[0060] In one feasible implementation, the control mechanism includes a programmable logic controller (PLC) and an electromagnetic drive mechanism. The PLC receives fiber stripping length or target position parameters input by the operator, such as the number of stripped segments, moving speed, or temperature gradient. Based on these parameters, the PLC sends instructions to the electromagnetic drive mechanism, causing the positioning mechanism 20 to move precisely back and forth on the guide rail of the base plate 10, while simultaneously monitoring the temperature output of the heating mechanism. Once the positioning mechanism 20 has moved to the corresponding position and the fiber is aligned with the area of the heating tank 31, the stripping operation can begin. Subsequently, the PLC adjusts the heating intensity based on real-time temperature data to ensure a stable and controllable stripping process. In this way, most fiber stripping processes can be fully automated by the PLC, requiring only initial setup and necessary monitoring by technicians to complete batch processing.
[0061] In this implementation, on the one hand, since the fiber stripping operation is controlled by a PLC, the uncertainty and error rate caused by manual intervention are reduced, making the entire stripping process more stable and efficient, and facilitating mass production. On the other hand, through the PLC's linkage control of temperature and movement position, the stripping section length and fiber movement speed can be precisely set, ensuring consistent stripping quality and appearance across different batches of products. For fiber preform processing or field termination projects requiring large-scale continuous operation, this not only saves manpower and time but also effectively reduces the cost of repeated debugging and rework. Automated operation also records important data in the PLC, facilitating later traceability and quality management.
[0062] In some embodiments, the programmable logic controller is connected to an external communication interface and is able to interact with a host computer or other automated equipment.
[0063] The host computer can set the fiber stripping parameters and monitor the heating temperature, moving speed and stripping length in real time, realizing remote management and parallel control of multiple devices.
[0064] In some feasible implementations, the programmable logic controller (PLC) can be further connected to an external communication interface, such as Ethernet, RS-485, or a wireless communication module, to facilitate data exchange with a host computer or other automated equipment. During implementation, one or more of these fiber stripping devices can be installed on the production line. All devices' PLCs are networked with the host computer, allowing operators to centrally control stripping parameters such as temperature range, stripping speed, and precise stripping length, and to monitor the temperature curve and operating status of each device in real time. If any stripping device malfunctions, such as failing to meet temperature requirements or the drive track jamming, the host computer can issue an alarm or automatically stop the machine temporarily to prevent further losses.
[0065] This networked control not only manifests in centralized management and real-time monitoring, but also significantly improves the flexibility and collaborative efficiency of the production line. For example, the factory can quickly switch and issue personalized configurations according to the needs of different batches and types of optical fibers, without the need for adjustments to each machine individually; multiple devices can also work together to ensure a good cycle time during peak production. Fault location is also more accurate due to real-time data acquisition, allowing operators to remotely view the fiber stripping process and perform source tracing analysis based on the records from the host computer.
[0066] In some embodiments, the base plate 10 is provided with a collection mechanism for collecting fiber coating waste. The collection mechanism includes a detachable waste box and a replaceable fiber shaving filter for centralized recycling of the stripped fiber coating debris.
[0067] In this embodiment, to improve the cleanliness and environmental friendliness of the work site, a collection mechanism can be added to the base plate 10 for centralized collection of optical fiber coating debris. This collection mechanism includes a detachable waste box and replaceable fiber shavings filters, typically fixed below the stripping area of the fiber stripping device 1. When the optical fiber coating is separated by the blades and heating, the debris falls into the waste box due to gravity or airflow, while finer dust or fiber shavings are trapped by the filters. Technicians can remove the waste box after the operation to clean or replace the filters, ensuring that the inside of the device and its surrounding environment are not polluted.
[0068] In the aforementioned feasible implementation, centralized recycling reduces the adverse effects of fiber optic debris scattering on other instruments or personnel. Furthermore, regular filter replacement prevents debris buildup inside the device, ensuring that the sliding parts of the fiber stripping mechanism 30 and the positioning mechanism 20 are not blocked by foreign objects. Since fiber optic debris can pose a threat to worker health and the operation of precision instruments, this targeted recycling mechanism meets modern factory environmental standards while reducing maintenance costs. In addition, the detachable structure facilitates quick production line switching for operators, further enhancing the device's applicability and ease of cleaning, and providing more stable support for long-term continuous operation.
[0069] In some embodiments, the device is provided with a safety protection mechanism, including a protective door linked to the heating mechanism and an automatic over-temperature power-off device;
[0070] When the temperature exceeds the preset safety limit, the safety protection mechanism automatically cuts off the heating power and issues an alarm via warning light or sound.
[0071] In one feasible implementation, to further ensure the safety of personnel and equipment, a safety protection mechanism can be installed outside the heating mechanism or at the edge of the device. This mechanism includes a protective door linked to the heating mechanism and an automatic over-temperature power-off device. Specifically, when the heating mechanism is operating, the protective door is closed to prevent operators or foreign objects from accidentally touching the high-temperature area. The automatic over-temperature power-off module monitors the actual temperature of the heating tank 31 through a temperature sensor. If the temperature exceeds a preset safety threshold, it immediately cuts off the heating power and triggers a warning light or sound to remind personnel to check the cause of the malfunction. This module can exchange data with the control panel 41 or PLC, allowing operators to take rapid countermeasures after an alarm is triggered.
[0072] This safety protection mechanism effectively reduces the risk of safety accidents caused by abnormal temperatures or misoperation, and provides operators with more adequate protection during high-temperature operations. Especially during extended periods of automated operation or unattended nighttime work, uncontrolled temperature can severely damage optical fibers and other components of the device, and even pose a fire hazard; the automatic over-temperature power-off device can immediately prevent the spread of danger. Simultaneously, the linked protective door prevents accidental burns or equipment damage and reduces external environmental interference with the heating process, thereby improving heat utilization efficiency and stripping stability. In practical use, this mechanism forms a dual protection system of "hardware + monitoring," providing a solid foundation for the safe operation of this device in a wider range of application scenarios.
[0073] For those skilled in the art, other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations, but obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the claims of this invention.
