Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical fiber ferrule cleaning equipment design technology, and in particular to a rapid optical fiber ferrule cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, fiber optic ferrules in the optical communication manufacturing industry vary widely. Grinding is a crucial process during manufacturing, with different ferrules requiring different grinding fixtures and sandpaper sizes. Cleaning after grinding is also a vital step. Currently, the cleaning method involves employees holding the grinding fixture at an angle while using a spray nozzle to clean with water. After cleaning, an air nozzle is used for blowing clean. This method makes it difficult to control the water pressure and requires frequent changes to the water and air nozzles, increasing the risk of operational errors and hindering thorough cleaning. There is currently no satisfactory solution in the optical communication manufacturing industry; the existing methods are difficult to implement and demand strict skill levels from employees. The disadvantages of the current post-grinding cleaning method are as follows:

[0003] First, when employees operate the equipment, they hold the grinding fixture at an angle with one hand and use the other hand to hold the nozzle to spray water for cleaning. After cleaning, they also need to change the air nozzle to blow air for cleaning. This operation makes it difficult to control the water pressure. In addition, they have to frequently change the water nozzle and the air nozzle, which can easily lead to operational errors and makes it difficult to clean thoroughly.

[0004] Secondly, the operation is relatively difficult for employees, and the requirements for their techniques are quite strict.

[0005] It is not difficult to find that there are many problems with the cleaning method after grinding. The employees at this station rely on their experience and skills, which affects efficiency and often results in defective products being discharged. Therefore, further improvement is needed.
