Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical fiber stripping technology, specifically a fiber-stripping pliers. Background Technology

[0002] Fiber optic fusion splicing technology primarily uses a fusion splicer to connect optical fibers to each other or to pigtails, fusing the bare fibers and pigtails in the optical cable together into a single unit. The quality of the fiber end face affects the splice quality, and its preparation includes several necessary steps such as stripping, cleaning, and cutting. Fiber optic strippers are tools used to remove the outer cladding layer of optical fibers. Existing fiber optic strippers typically consist of jaws and handles. The two handles are hinged together by a shaft. When the jaws are engaged, they hold the optical fiber within the jaws; pulling the fiber strips the cladding layer.

[0003] After stripping the fiber optic coating, the fiber surface needs to be cleaned with alcohol wipes. Currently, most fiber strippers only have the function of stripping the fiber cladding. After stripping the coating, the operator needs to put down the stripper and replace the alcohol wipes for cleaning. This process is cumbersome, and requires preparing the stripper, alcohol bottle, and alcohol wipes simultaneously, which is inconvenient when working outdoors. To solve this technical problem, existing technologies include structures with cleaning components mounted on the stripper, such as WO 2020 / 093226 A1, entitled "Fiber Optic Stripper, Its Components, and Method of Use," and CN 222529526 U, entitled "A Fiber Optic Stripper with Cleaning Wipes." Both patents involve mounting a fixed cleaning component on the stripper, but both structures have the following problems:

[0004] 1. The cleaning components are fixed between the two handles of the wire stripper. When cleaning the optical fiber, the optical fiber should be placed between the cleaning components. Since the clamping area of ​​the cleaning components is small, the optical fiber may be misaligned and easily break if not careful.

[0005] 2. The cleaning components are fixed on two clamp handles, which is a relatively fixed position and not flexible in operation, and cannot meet the operating habits of different operators. Utility Model Content

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a fiber stripping pliers.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A fiber-removing wire stripper includes wire strippers and a handle sleeve fitted onto the handle of the wire stripper. The stripper is characterized by: a cleaning component connected to at least one handle; the cleaning component is either a first or a second fiber cleaning device; both the first and second fiber cleaning devices include a fixed plate; a cover plate is connected to the fixed plate via a hinge shaft; a torsion spring is connected to the hinge shaft; the torsion spring corresponds to and engages with the fixed plate and the cover plate; a lower cleaning cotton is fixedly connected to the fixed plate; and an upper cleaning cotton is fixedly connected to the cover plate, with the lower and upper cleaning cotton corresponding to and engaging with each other.

[0009] Based on the above solutions, the following technical solutions can also be adopted:

[0010] The fixing plate of the first fiber cleaning device is an L-shaped plate, and a slot is provided on one side plate of the fixing plate. The slot is engaged with the clamp handle sleeve.

[0011] An insert plate is provided on the fixing plate, and the insert plate is inserted into the clamp handle sleeve.

[0012] Each side plate on both sides of the slot is provided with an insert plate, which is located in the L-shaped groove of the fixing plate.

[0013] The fixing plate of the second fiber cleaning device is a square plate with a slot on it. The slot is engaged with the clamp handle sleeve. An insert plate is provided on each side plate on both sides of the slot.

[0014] The fixing plate is provided with a first insertion hole, and the pliers handle is provided with a second insertion hole. The first insertion hole and the second insertion hole are correspondingly arranged, and a pin is connected between the first insertion hole and the second insertion hole.

[0015] A buckle is connected to the fixing plate, and the buckle is engaged with the cover plate. The cover plate has a groove that engages with the buckle.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: the operator can use fiber optic strippers to strip the fiber, and then continue to use the fiber optic strippers with the cleaning component to wipe the stripped fiber. The operator does not need to put down the fiber optic strippers and pick up additional cleaning tools, which can facilitate the operator's operation and improve work efficiency.

[0017] The cleaning components used are flexible in installation and can be used by operators with different operating habits. When cleaning the fiber, simply apply alcohol to two cleaning pads beforehand, then place the optical fiber between the two pads. Due to the large surface area of ​​the cleaning pads, the fiber is easily placed. The two pads then press against each other to wipe the fiber, making the operation convenient and preventing fiber breakage. Since the operator's hands do not directly contact the alcohol, there is no risk of alcohol-induced hand injuries, and the fiber is thoroughly cleaned. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0026] Example 1, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this utility model relates to a fiber-stripping wire stripper, including a wire stripper 1. The wire stripper 1 in this solution is prior art and uses Miller pliers. A handle sleeve 2 is fitted onto the handle 1.1 of the wire stripper 1. The handle sleeve 2 is made of non-slip rubber. In this solution, the handle sleeve 2 not only plays a role in preventing slippage, but more importantly, it plays a role in fixing the cleaning components.

[0027] The cleaning assembly uses either a first fiber cleaning device 3 or a second fiber cleaning device 4, and is connected to at least one clamp handle 1.1. Each cleaning assembly is installed on the inner or outer side of the corresponding clamp handle 1.1. During normal use, one or two cleaning assemblies are installed according to the operator's habits, and the installation position of the cleaning assemblies is adjusted according to the operator's habits.

[0028] In this design, a cleaning component is installed on each of the two clamp handles 1.1, with one cleaning component installed between the two clamp handles 1.1 and the other installed on the outside of the other clamp handle 1.1.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, the first fiber cleaning device 3 and the second fiber cleaning device 4 have the same structure, including a fixing plate 5, which is an L-shaped plate. A slot is provided on one side plate of the fixing plate 5, and an insert plate 6 is provided on each side plate of the slot. During installation, the slot engages with the corresponding clamp handle sleeve 2, and the insert plate 6 is inserted into the corresponding clamp handle sleeve 2, fixing the position of the first fiber cleaning device 3 through the clamp handle sleeve 2. The two insert plates 6 are arranged parallel to each other and are positioned within the L-shaped slot of the fixing plate 5.

[0030] A cover plate 7 is connected to a fixed plate 5. The specific connection method between the fixed plate 5 and the cover plate 7 is as follows: a first connecting seat 5.1 is provided at the corner outside the fixed plate 5. The first connecting seat 5.1 consists of two parallel upright plates, each with a rounded top. The cover plate 7 is a rectangular plate, and a second connecting seat 7.1 that mates with the first connecting seat 5.1 is provided at one end of the cover plate 7. The second connecting seat 7.1 also consists of two upright plates, with the two upright plates of the first connecting seat 5.1 positioned between the two upright plates of the second connecting seat 7.1. The top of the upright plates of the second connecting seat 7.1 is also a rounded top. The first connecting seat 5.1 and the second connecting seat 7.1 are connected by a hinge shaft 12, and the second connecting seat 7.1 can rotate around the hinge shaft 12.

[0031] A torsion spring is connected to the hinge shaft 12. The torsion spring is positioned between the two upright plates of the first junction 5.1, and its two legs are respectively engaged with the fixed plate 5 and the cover plate 7. After installation, the torsion spring remains in a compressed state, and the cover plate 7 can be opened under the action of the torsion spring.

[0032] A lower cleaning cotton swab 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing plate 5, and an upper cleaning cotton swab 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cover plate 7. The lower cleaning cotton swab 8 and the upper cleaning cotton swab 9 are correspondingly fitted. Both the lower cleaning cotton swab 8 and the upper cleaning cotton swab 9 are alcohol-soaked cotton swabs, and the cleaning cotton swab 8 has a rectangular structure. When cleaning the optical fiber, the optical fiber is first placed between the lower cleaning cotton swab 8 and the upper cleaning cotton swab 9. Because the lower cleaning cotton swab 8 and the upper cleaning cotton swab 9 have a large area, the placement position of the optical fiber is relatively wide, making it easier for the operator to operate. After the optical fiber is placed, the cover plate 7 is closed, and the lower cleaning cotton swab 8 and the upper cleaning cotton swab 9 are pressed together. After the optical fiber is pulled out, the lower cleaning cotton swab 8 and the upper cleaning cotton swab 9 clean the optical fiber.

[0033] When fiber stripping is not required, the cover plate 7 should be closed. This effectively prevents dust from settling on the lower cleaning cotton 8 and upper cleaning cotton 9. For the next use, simply apply a few drops of alcohol to the lower and upper cleaning cotton 9 respectively. A buckle 10 is connected to the outside of the fixing plate 5. The buckle 10 is a U-shaped rod with round holes on both sides of the fixing plate 5. The two ends of the buckle 10 are inserted into these round holes. A groove 7.2 is provided on the cover plate 7. When the cover plate 7 is closed, the buckle 10 engages in the groove 7.2, thus securing the cover plate 7.

[0034] In Example 2, based on Example 1, the first fiber cleaning device 3 and the second fiber cleaning device 4 can also adopt different structures. Specifically, the first fiber cleaning device 3 adopts the structure used in Example 1, and the second fiber cleaning device 4 adopts the structure shown in Example 1. Figure 5 and Figure 6 The structure shown.

[0035] Specifically, the fixing plate 5 is a square plate with a slot on it. The slot is engaged with the clamp handle sleeve 2. An insert plate 6 is provided on each side plate on both sides of the slot.

[0036] In use, this solution has a preferred embodiment, in which a first fiber cleaning device 3 is connected to the lower clamp handle 1.1, the first fiber cleaning device 3 is positioned between the two clamp handles 1.1, and a second fiber cleaning device 4 is connected to the upper clamp handle 1.1, the second fiber cleaning device 4 being connected to the outside of the upper clamp handle 1.1. Figure 1 As shown. The height of the fixing plate 5 of the first fiber cleaning device 3 is greater than the height of the fixing plate 5 of the second fiber cleaning device 4. When cleaning the optical fiber, pressing the two clamp handles 1.1 can close the cover 7. The larger height of the fixing plate 5 of the first fiber cleaning device 3 makes it easier to close the cover. When using the second fiber cleaning device 4, the smaller height of the fixing plate 5 makes it easier for the operator's thumb to press.

[0037] Based on the above scheme, in order to further strengthen the fixing effect, a second insertion hole 1.2 is provided on each of the two clamp handles 1.1, and a first insertion hole 11 is provided on the fixing plate 5. During installation, the first insertion hole 11 and the second insertion hole 1.2 are coaxially arranged corresponding to each other. A pin is inserted between the first insertion hole 11 and the second insertion hole 1.2. Under the action of the pin, it further plays the role of fixing the first fiber cleaning device 3 and the second fiber cleaning device 4.

[0038] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
