Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an optical cable sheath stripping device, specifically to a tight-sheathed drop optical cable stripper. Background Technology

[0002] Optical fiber cables are communication cables used for transmitting optical signals, commonly used as transmission lines in network systems. They mainly consist of optical fibers and a sheath. Optical fiber, short for optical waveguide fiber, is relatively brittle and easily broken. To protect it, a sheath tightly bonded to the fiber is placed around it. When connecting optical cables, the sheath at the connection end needs to be stripped. Currently, ordinary wire strippers are used for this. During stripping, the sheath around the optical fiber is cut with the wire strippers, and then the sheath is pulled to detach from the fiber. Because the bonding force between the sheath and the fiber is relatively strong, the fiber is also pulled during sheath stripping, making it easy to break the fiber. This results in difficult stripping, low efficiency, frequent stripping failures, and the need to re-strip, wasting cable. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the problems of easily breaking optical fibers, difficulty in stripping, and low stripping efficiency when using ordinary wire strippers to peel off the sheath of optical cables, this utility model provides a tight-buffered drop cable stripper. This tight-buffered drop cable stripper is equipped with a longitudinal cutter, which can cut the sheath of the stripped section longitudinally, effectively reducing the bonding force between the sheath and the optical fiber. The sheath is easy to peel off without damaging the optical fiber. The circumferential cutting and longitudinal cutting of the outer sheath of the optical fiber are completed in one go. The structure is simple, easy to use, and has high stripping efficiency.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is: a tight-fitting optical fiber stripper, including a clamp base and a clamp handle. The clamp handle is hinged to one side of the clamp base. A guide member is provided longitudinally at the center of the upper end face of the clamp base. An optical fiber insertion slot is provided longitudinally at the lower end of the guide member. A strip-shaped hole is provided above the left end of the guide member, which is in the same direction as and communicates with the optical fiber insertion slot. A longitudinal cutter and a transverse cutter are provided on the clamp handle. The longitudinal cutter can penetrate through the strip-shaped hole to reach the optical fiber insertion slot. The transverse cutter is located at the right end of the clamp handle.

[0005] The left end of the clamp handle is provided with a reverse push block, the right end of the reverse push block corresponds to the optical cable insertion hole, and the reverse push block is provided with a strip-shaped through groove corresponding to the strip-shaped hole.

[0006] The lower end of the thrust block is provided with a thrust handle.

[0007] A return spring is provided between the clamp handle and the clamp seat.

[0008] The transverse cutter has a U-shaped slot in the lower middle that can accommodate optical fibers.

[0009] The lower end of the guide is provided with a buckle, and the clamp seat is provided with a locking hole. The buckle can be inserted into the locking hole to lock the guide and the clamp seat together.

[0010] This invention offers the following advantages: By adopting the above technical solution, the optical cable is inserted into the optical cable slot at the right end of the clamp, allowing the end of the cable to reach the left end of the guide. Pressing down on the clamp handle causes the longitudinal and transverse cutters to follow. The longitudinal cutter cuts the fiber sheath at the end of the cable longitudinally, while the transverse cutter circumferentially cuts the excess portion of the fiber sheath at the end of the cable. Opening the clamp handle and pulling out the optical cable allows for manual tearing of the fiber sheath at the end of the cable along the longitudinal cut until the circumferential cut is reached. This allows for rapid sheath removal without damaging the optical fiber. This invention can longitudinally cut the sheath of the stripped section of the optical cable, effectively reducing the bonding force between the sheath and the optical fiber. The sheath is easily peeled off without damaging the optical fiber. The circumferential and longitudinal cuts of the outer sheath are completed in one step, resulting in a simple structure, convenient use, and high stripping efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0016] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. For ease of description, the directions "up", "down", "left" and "right" are the directions shown in the accompanying drawings of this specification.

[0017] like Figures 1-4As shown, a tight-fitting optical fiber stripper includes a clamp base 1 and a clamp handle 2. The clamp handle 2 is hinged to one side of the clamp base 1. A guide member 3 is provided longitudinally at the center of the upper end face of the clamp base 1. An optical fiber insertion slot 4 is provided longitudinally at the lower end of the guide member 3. A strip-shaped hole 5 is provided above the left end of the guide member 3, which is in the same direction as and communicates with the optical fiber insertion slot 4. A longitudinal cutter 6 and a transverse cutter 7 are provided on the clamp handle 2. The longitudinal cutter 6 can penetrate through the strip-shaped hole 5 to reach the optical fiber insertion slot 4. The transverse cutter 7 is located at the right end of the clamp handle 2. By adopting the above technical solution, the optical cable is inserted into the optical cable slot 4 at the right end of the clamp 1, so that the end of the optical cable reaches the left end of the guide 3. The clamp handle 2 is pressed down by hand, and the longitudinal cutter 6 and the transverse cutter 7 follow the downward pressure of the clamp handle 2. The longitudinal cutter 6 cuts the fiber sheath at the end of the optical cable longitudinally, while the transverse cutter 7 circumferentially cuts the excess portion of the fiber sheath at the end of the optical cable. The clamp handle 2 is then opened, the optical cable is pulled out, and the fiber sheath at the end of the optical cable is manually torn along the longitudinal cut until the circumferential cut is reached. This allows for rapid stripping of the sheath without damaging the optical fiber. This utility model can cut the sheath of the stripped section of the optical cable longitudinally, effectively reducing the bonding force between the sheath and the optical fiber. The sheath is easy to peel off without damaging the optical fiber. The circumferential cutting and longitudinal cutting of the outer sheath of the optical fiber are completed in one step. The structure is simple, easy to use, and has high stripping efficiency.

[0018] The left end of the clamp handle 2 is provided with a push block 8, and the right end of the push block 8 corresponds to the optical cable insertion hole 4. The push block 8 is provided with a strip-shaped through groove 9 corresponding to the strip-shaped hole 5. When pulling out the optical cable, if the optical cable breaks, the push block 8 can be used to push the broken optical cable in the optical cable insertion hole 4 a short distance back, making it easier to remove the broken optical cable in the optical cable insertion hole 4.

[0019] The lower end of the thrust block 8 is provided with a thrust handle 10. Holding the thrust handle 10 by hand makes it easy to operate.

[0020] A return spring 11 is provided between the clamp handle 2 and the clamp base 1. The return spring 11 plays a reset role, enabling the clamp handle 2 to automatically spring up and reset.

[0021] The transverse cutter 7 has a U-shaped slot 12 at the lower center that can accommodate optical fibers. The U-shaped slot 12 only accommodates optical fibers, allowing the transverse cutter 7 to cut the optical fiber sheath, which facilitates wire stripping.

[0022] The lower end of the guide member 3 is provided with a buckle 13, and the clamp seat 1 is provided with a locking hole 14. The buckle 13 can be inserted into the locking hole 14 to lock the guide member 3 and the clamp seat 1 together. The guide member 3 is provided with an optical cable through slot 4, and then the guide member 3 is connected to the clamp seat 1. The structure is simple and easy to process.
