Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical fiber sheath stripping technology, specifically, to a device capable of stripping a special optical fiber coating. Background Technology

[0002] Polyimide fiber coatings are characterized by high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, high hardness, and strong toughness. Currently, the common methods for removing polyimide fiber coatings are as follows: The first is high-temperature removal, including flame ablation, electrode discharge, and laser stripping, but the disadvantage is the presence of residual oxides that are difficult to clean; the second is strong acid corrosion, which poses risks to operators and leaves chemical residues; the third is manual removal, where the fiber is manually stripped using blades, but this is unstable and can easily damage the fiber. All three methods suffer from uneven stripping.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new device to remove the coating from optical fibers. Utility Model Content

[0011] As a further technical solution, the clamping assembly also includes:

[0012] A rotating component is mounted on the chassis, and a clamping seat is mounted on the rotating component. The rotating component and the clamping seat are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0013] The second driving member is located inside the chassis and has a second pushing end. The rotating member is disposed on the second pushing end. The second pushing end can rotate around the X-axis. The clamping seat achieves rotation around the X-axis by means of the rotating member and the second pushing end.

[0014] As a further technical solution, the second driving component includes:

[0015] The second motor is located inside the chassis and is electrically connected to the controller;

[0016] A chain drive mechanism is located inside the housing. The chain drive mechanism has a chain input end and a chain output end. The second motor is connected to the chain input end, and the rotating component is connected to the chain output end.

[0017] As a further technical solution, the rotating component includes:

[0018] A rotating base is installed inside the chassis;

[0019] The input wheel is rotatably mounted on the rotating base;

[0020] The output wheel is rotatably mounted on the rotating seat and engages with the input wheel.

[0021] A rotating output shaft is mounted on the rotating output wheel and rotatably connected to the rotating seat;

[0022] A rotating plate is connected to the rotating output shaft, and the clamping seat is connected to the rotating plate.

[0023] As a further technical solution, guide grooves are provided on the rotating base and the rotating output shaft.

[0024] As a further technical solution, the first driving component includes:

[0025] An X-direction linear actuator is disposed inside the chassis, and the X-direction linear actuator has a first drive end that reciprocates along the X direction.

[0026] A Y-direction linear actuator is located inside the chassis and is disposed on the first drive end. The Y-direction linear actuator has a second drive end that reciprocates along the X direction.

[0027] A Z-direction linear actuator; located inside the chassis and disposed on the second drive end, the Z-direction linear actuator having a third drive end that reciprocates along the Z direction, the stripping blade being disposed on the third drive end.

[0028] As a further technical solution, the stripping assembly also includes a blade holder, which is connected to the third drive end, and the stripping blade is detachably fixed to the blade holder.

[0029] As a further technical solution, the Z direction is perpendicular to the length direction of the optical fiber.

[0030] As a further technical solution, a display screen and operation buttons are also included, both of which are mounted on the chassis and electrically connected to the controller.

[0031] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The device for removing special optical fiber coatings includes a chassis, a clamping assembly, a stripping assembly, and a controller. The clamping assembly, stripping assembly, and controller are all mounted on the chassis. The clamping assembly includes a clamping base and a clamping plate. One side of the clamping plate is rotatably mounted on the clamping base. The optical fiber to be processed is located between the clamping plate and the clamping base. A magnet is placed between the clamping plate and the clamping base, and the clamping plate and the clamping base are attracted together by magnetic attraction, thus clamping the optical fiber. The stripping assembly includes a first driving component and a stripping blade. The first driving component is located inside the chassis and has a first pushing end. The first pushing end can move independently in the XYZ directions, which are perpendicular to each other. The stripping blade is mounted on the first pushing end and can move in the XYZ directions along with the first pushing end. The controller is electrically connected to the first driving component. Under the action of the controller, the stripping blade moves in the XYZ directions to approach the optical fiber and remove the coating layer from the optical fiber. Since the clamping plate and clamping base are fixed in position on the chassis, after the optical fiber is inserted and its parameters (e.g., coating thickness and fiber diameter) are transmitted to the controller, the controller can adjust the stripping blade to a suitable position via the first driving component, and then control the first pushing end of the first driving component to move in one direction, thereby completing the stripping of the optical fiber coating. The device provided by this invention can automatically strip the special optical fiber coating, greatly improving the stripping efficiency and accuracy. Furthermore, since the stripping blade can move along a direction perpendicular to the fiber length, the utilization rate of the blade is improved, ultimately increasing the service life of the stripping blade.

[0032] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0033] I. This utility model uses a three-axis linear actuator (X, Y, Z directions) to precisely control the movement path of the stripping blade, thereby achieving high-precision and automated stripping of the fiber coating. This effectively avoids problems such as uneven stripping and fiber damage caused by unstable operation in traditional methods, and improves the stripping quality and consistency.

[0034] Second, the rotatable clamping assembly allows the optical fiber to rotate around the X-axis. Combined with the multi-directional movement of the stripping blade, it enables the uniform removal of the coating layer from all directions. This not only improves the utilization rate of the blade and extends the life of the blade, but also makes it suitable for special optical fibers with different diameters and coating thicknesses, thus enhancing the adaptability and practicality of the equipment.

[0051] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0052] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, this embodiment proposes a device for stripping a special optical fiber coating, comprising:

[0053] Chassis 1;

[0054] Clamping assembly 2 is mounted on chassis 1. Clamping assembly 2 includes clamping base 21 and clamping plate 22. One side of clamping plate 22 is rotatably mounted on clamping base 21. Clamping base 21 cooperates with clamping plate 22 to clamp and fix the optical fiber to be processed.

[0055] The stripping component 3 is mounted on the chassis 1. The stripping component 3 includes a first driving member and a stripping blade 31. The first driving member has a first pushing end that moves independently in the three directions XYZ. The stripping blade 31 is mounted on the first pushing end and moves with the first pushing end.

[0056] The controller is mounted on chassis 1 and electrically connected to the first drive unit.

[0057] In this embodiment, the device for removing special optical fiber coatings includes a chassis 1, a clamping assembly 2, a stripping assembly 3, and a controller. The clamping assembly 2, the stripping assembly 3, and the controller are all mounted on the chassis 1. The clamping assembly 2 includes a clamping base 21 and a clamping plate 22. One side of the clamping plate 22 is rotatably mounted on the clamping base 21. The optical fiber to be processed is located between the clamping plate 22 and the clamping base 21. A magnet is provided between the clamping plate 22 and the clamping base 21. The clamping plate 22 and the clamping base 21 are attracted together by magnetic attraction. The optical fiber is located between the clamping plate 22 and the clamping base 21 to achieve its own clamping. The stripping assembly 3 includes a first driving member and a stripping blade 31. The first driving member is located inside the housing 1 and has a first pushing end. The first pushing end can move independently in the three XYZ directions. The three XYZ directions are perpendicular to each other. The stripping blade 31 is mounted on the first pushing end and can move in the three XYZ directions with the first pushing end. The controller is electrically connected to the first driving member. Under the action of the controller, the stripping blade 31 moves in the three XYZ directions to approach the optical fiber and cut off the coating layer of the optical fiber. Since the positions of the clamping plate 22 and the clamping base 21 on the chassis 1 are fixed, after the optical fiber is inserted and its parameters (e.g., coating thickness and fiber diameter) are transmitted to the controller, the controller can adjust the stripping blade 31 to a suitable position via the first driving component, and then control the first pushing end of the first driving component to move in one direction, thereby completing the stripping of the optical fiber coating. The device provided by this utility model can automatically strip the special optical fiber coating, greatly improving the stripping efficiency and accuracy. Furthermore, since the stripping blade 31 can move along a direction perpendicular to the length of the optical fiber, the utilization rate of the blade can be improved, ultimately increasing the service life of the stripping blade 31.

[0058] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 11 As shown, this embodiment proposes that there are two clamping seats 21 and two clamping plates 22, which are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0059] In this embodiment, in order to simplify the equipment and avoid complicated operation, two clamping seats 21 and two clamping plates 22 are set, and a one-to-one correspondence is adopted. The two clamping seats 21 and two clamping plates 22 respectively clamp the two ends of the optical fiber to be processed, thereby achieving the clamping of the optical fiber under the premise of simplifying the overall structure.

[0060] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 11 As shown, this embodiment proposes that the clamping component 2 further includes:

[0061] A rotating component is mounted on the chassis 1, and a clamping seat 21 is mounted on the rotating component. The rotating component and the clamping seat 21 are configured in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0062] The second driving member is located inside the housing 1 and has a second pushing end. The rotating member is disposed on the second pushing end. The second pushing end can rotate around the X-axis. The clamping seat 21 achieves rotation around the X-axis by means of the rotating member and the second pushing end.

[0063] In this embodiment, the clamping assembly 2 further includes a rotating component and a second driving component. The second driving component is located inside the chassis 1 and has a second pushing end. The second pushing end can rotate around the X-axis. The clamping seat 21 is connected to the rotating component, which is located on the second pushing end. The clamping seat 21 and the rotating component can rotate around the X-axis following the second pushing end. Since the clamping plate 22 is located on the clamping seat 21, both the clamping plate 22 and the clamping seat 21 can rotate around the X-axis. At the same time, the clamped optical fiber can also rotate at a certain angle. When the optical fiber rotates relative to the stripping blade 31, the stripping blade 31 can completely strip the coating layer from the optical fiber.

[0064] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 11 As shown, this embodiment proposes a second driving component including:

[0065] The second motor 23 is located inside the chassis 1 and is electrically connected to the controller;

[0066] The chain drive mechanism 24 is located inside the housing 1. The chain drive mechanism 24 has a chain input end and a chain output end. The second motor 23 is connected to the chain input end, and the rotating part is connected to the chain output end.

[0067] In this embodiment, the second driving component includes a second motor 23 and a chain drive mechanism 24. The second motor 23 is located inside the housing 1 and electrically connected to the controller. The second motor 23 provides power to the chain drive mechanism 24, which transmits the power to the rotating component, thereby enabling the rotating component to rotate.

[0068] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 11 As shown, this embodiment proposes a rotating component including:

[0069] Rotary base 25 is installed inside chassis 1;

[0070] The input wheel 26 is rotatably mounted on the rotary seat 25.

[0071] The output wheel 27 is rotatably mounted on the rotating seat 25 and is engaged with the input wheel 26.

[0072] A rotating output shaft 28 is mounted on a rotating output wheel 27 and rotatably connected to a rotating base 25;

[0073] The rotating plate 29 is connected to the rotating output shaft 28, and the clamping seat 21 is connected to the rotating plate 29.

[0074] In this embodiment, the rotating component includes a rotating base 25, a rotating input wheel 26, a rotating output wheel 27, a rotating output shaft 28, and a rotating plate 29. The rotating base 25 is housed within the chassis 1. Both the rotating input wheel 26 and the rotating output wheel 27 are rotatably mounted on the rotating base 25, and are meshed together. The rotating output shaft 28 passes through the rotating output wheel 27, and the rotating plate 29 is connected to the rotating output shaft 28. This allows the rotating plate 29 to rotate, and the clamping seat 21 is located on the rotating plate 29 and rotates synchronously with it. This method not only improves the accuracy of the rotation angle but also simplifies the control program.

[0075] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 11 As shown, this embodiment proposes that guide grooves are provided on the rotating seat 25 and the rotating output shaft 28.

[0076] In this embodiment, to avoid interference between the optical fiber and the rotating component, guide grooves are provided on the rotating seat 25 and the rotating output shaft 28. The optical fiber is located in the guide groove, so that the optical fiber can rotate simultaneously with the guide groove, thereby preventing the optical fiber from coming out of the guide groove.

[0077] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 11 As shown, this embodiment proposes a first driving component including:

[0078] The X-direction linear actuator 32 is disposed inside the chassis 1. The X-direction linear actuator 32 has a first drive end that reciprocates along the X direction.

[0079] The Y-direction linear actuator 33 is located inside the chassis 1 and is mounted on the first drive end. The Y-direction linear actuator 33 has a second drive end that reciprocates along the X direction.

[0080] The Z-direction linear actuator 34 is located inside the housing 1 and is mounted on the second drive end. The Z-direction linear actuator 34 has a third drive end that reciprocates along the Z-direction, and the stripping blade 31 is mounted on the third drive end.

[0081] In this embodiment, the first driving component includes an X-direction linear actuator 32, a Y-direction linear actuator 33, and a Z-direction linear actuator 34. The Y-direction linear actuator 33 is disposed on the first driving end of the X-direction linear actuator 32, the Z-direction linear actuator 34 is disposed on the second driving end of the Y-direction linear actuator 33, and the third driving end of the Z-direction linear actuator 34 is connected to the stripping blade 31. The X-direction linear actuator 32, Y-direction linear actuator 33, and Z-direction linear actuator 34 are all common pushing structures and belong to the prior art; therefore, they will not be described in detail.

[0082] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 11As shown, this embodiment proposes that the peeling component 3 also includes a blade holder 35, which is connected to the third drive end, and the peeling blade 31 is detachably fixed on the blade holder 35.

[0083] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the replacement and maintenance of the stripping blade 31, the stripping assembly 3 also includes a blade holder 35, which is connected to the third drive end of the Z-direction linear driver 34. The stripping blade 31 is fixed to the blade holder 35 by bolt connection. This arrangement not only simplifies the overall structure but also facilitates the maintenance and replacement of the stripping blade 31.

[0084] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 11 As shown in the figure, this embodiment proposes that the Z direction is perpendicular to the length direction of the optical fiber.

[0085] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 11 As shown, this embodiment also includes a display screen 4 and operation buttons 5, both of which are mounted on the chassis 1 and electrically connected to the controller.

[0086] In this embodiment, in order to improve the convenience of operation for staff, the device provided by this utility model also includes a display screen 4 and an operation button 5. The display screen 4 and the operation button 5 are both located on the chassis 1. The display screen 4 is used to display the position information of the cutting blade and uses a touch screen to manually input some parameters of the optical fiber. The operation button 5 is used to control the start and reset.

[0087] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
