Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of fiber optic connector processing equipment, specifically a cutting device for fiber optic connector processing. Background Technology

[0002] Fiber optic connectors are devices that allow for detachable connections between optical fibers. Their housings are mostly made of plastic and are often produced using molds. However, mold production can lead to issues such as leakage, resulting in a lot of waste material on the housing. This waste material must be cut off before use.

[0003] According to a public notice (No. CN221291438U) of a fiber optic connector processing cutting device, the above application uses a cutting blade and a grinding disc to cut and grind the fiber optic connector. The fiber optic connector is placed on the first clamping block and clamped. The third handle is rotated forward to turn on the hydraulic press, and the cutting blade moves downward to cut the fiber optic connector. The waste material falls into the first recycling bin through a chute. The first recycling bin is pulled out by pulling the first handle to clean the waste material. After the cutting is completed, the third handle is rotated forward to make contact with the fiber optic connector grinding disc and grind the fiber optic connector. This reduces manual cutting and grinding, saves time, and greatly increases production efficiency.

[0004] However, in actual use, when grinding and cutting fiber optic connectors, the above-mentioned equipment still requires manual movement of the fiber optic connectors. The equipment can only clamp the fiber optic connectors in a fixed position and cannot move the fiber optic connectors while keeping them fixed. In view of this, we propose a cutting device for processing fiber optic connectors. Utility Model Content

[0009] Preferably, a positioning mechanism is arranged on the bottom surface of the limiting block.

[0010] Preferably, the fixing member is in the shape of "冖", and the outer wall of the connecting rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting sleeve.

[0011] Preferably, a grinding box is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting base plate. A positioning frame is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the grinding box.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present utility model provides a cutting device for processing optical fiber connectors, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. This fiber optic connector processing cutting device, through a fixing mechanism, works in conjunction with a motor-driven gear set to rotate an inclined guide wheel. This, combined with the specific angle of the inverted triangular positioning groove on the top surface of the lower mounting base, allows the rotating guide wheel to effectively guide the fiber optic cable to automatically slide into the center of the V-shaped groove bottom and achieve self-adaptive clamping when the fiber optic connector is placed in the positioning groove. Simultaneously, the upper positioning mechanism provides buffer pressure through a second telescopic spring, pushing the connecting rod and the limiting rollers on the fixing component to roll downwards and press the fiber optic connector.

This fiber optic connector processing cutting device, through the installation of a positioning mechanism and a second telescopic spring within the mounting groove, pushes the connecting rod and the "U"-shaped fixing component downwards, ensuring that the limiting roller always maintains controllable pressure against the surface of the fiber optic connector. The elastic deformation of the spring adapts to fiber optic connectors of different sizes, eliminating assembly gaps. Simultaneously, the limiting roller and the fiber optic connector engage in rolling friction contact; when the fiber optic connector requires depth adjustment, the limiting roller rotates accordingly, significantly reducing the risk of surface scratches.

[0018] like Figures 1-5As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a cutting device for processing fiber optic connectors, including a mounting base plate 1, a support leg 11 fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the mounting base plate 1, a support frame 12 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting base plate 1, and a limiting mechanism 2 provided on the upper surface of the mounting base plate 1. The limiting mechanism 2 includes: a lower mounting seat 21, a motor 22, a rotating gear 23, a connecting gear 24, a guide wheel 25, a through groove 26, an upper mounting seat 27, a limiting block 28, a first telescopic spring 29, a telescopic rod 210, and a limiting groove 211.

[0019] In one embodiment of this utility model, a motor 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface inside the lower mounting base 21. A rotating gear 23 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 22. A connecting gear 24 meshes with the outer surface of the rotating gear 23. A fixed shaft is fixedly connected to the center of the connecting gear 24. A guide wheel 25 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the fixed shaft. The motor 22 drives the rotating gear 23 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting gear 24 meshing with the outer surface of the rotating gear 23 to rotate, thereby enabling the guide wheel 25 to rotate and thus moving the fiber optic connector. A positioning groove is provided on the top surface of the lower mounting base 21 for placing the fiber optic connector. A through groove 26 is provided on the side wall, through which the guide wheel 25 passes, providing sufficient support for the placed fiber optic connector. An upper mounting base 27 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the support frame 12. A limit block 28 is slidably connected to the inner side wall of the upper mounting base 27. The limit block 28 can cooperate with the guide wheel 25 to perform three-point control on the fiber optic connector, achieving a better fixing effect. A telescopic rod 210 is fixedly connected to the top surface inside the upper mounting base 27. A first telescopic spring 29 is sleeved on the outer surface of the telescopic rod 210. The top surface of the limit block 28 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the telescopic rod 210. A limit groove 211 is provided on the top surface of the limit block 28, which, through the first telescopic spring 29 and... The telescopic rod 210, in conjunction with the limiting block 28, ensures that the limiting block 28 always conforms to the outer surface of the fiber optic connector, providing sufficient support to the connector. The telescopic rod 210 and the first telescopic spring 29 are positioned on the top surface of the limiting groove 211. The positioning groove is shaped like an inverted triangle, which, combined with gravity, allows the fiber optic connector to automatically position itself correctly. The guide wheel 25 is inclined, with its angle matching the inclination angle of the positioning groove. This inclined design, working with the positioning groove, provides sufficient support to the fiber optic connector. Furthermore, the rotatable guide wheel 25 allows for proper positioning of the fiber optic connector. The connector provides the power for movement. The end of the fixed shaft away from the rotating gear 23 is fixedly connected to one end of the support block. The other end of the support block is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the lower mounting base 21. The support block can provide sufficient support force to the fixed shaft to prevent insufficient support force of the guide wheel 25 for supporting the fiber optic connector. There are multiple sets of connecting gears 24, fixed shafts, and guide wheels 25. Multiple sets of connecting gears 24, fixed shafts, and guide wheels 25 are distributed in a mirror symmetrical manner on the outer surface of the rotating gear 23. The connecting gears 24 that provide power are only provided in one symmetrical set at the input end of the lower mounting base 21. The remaining fixed shafts and guide wheels 25 are used for conveying.

[0020] In addition, a positioning mechanism 3 is provided on the bottom surface of the limit block 28. The positioning mechanism 3 includes an installation groove 31 which is opened on the bottom surface of the limit block 28. A mounting sleeve 32 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the installation groove 31. A second telescopic spring 33 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the mounting sleeve 32. One end of the second telescopic spring 33 away from the limit block 28 is fixedly connected to a connecting rod 34. A fixing member 35 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the connecting rod 34. The second telescopic spring 33 fixedly connected to the inner top surface of the mounting sleeve 32 can cooperate with the connecting rod 34 to give the fixing member 35 sufficient downward force, so that the fixing member 35 can always cooperate with the outer shape of the fiber optic connector and always make the fixing member 35 fit the outer surface of the fiber optic connector. A limiting roller 36 is rotatably connected to the inner side wall of the fixing member 35. A silica gel sleeve is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the limiting roller 36. The silica gel sleeve can prevent the limiting roller 36 from damaging the outer surface of the fiber optic connector while further increasing the friction. The shape of the fixing member 35 is set as "冖". The fixing member 35 with the "冖" shape can give the limiting roller 36 sufficient supporting force. The outer wall of the connecting rod 34 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting sleeve 32. The connecting rod 34 slides inside the mounting sleeve 32, which can maintain a stable connection state in a limited space, prevent the second telescopic spring 33 from shifting in position, and ensure the positioning effect of the positioning mechanism 3.

[0021] In an embodiment of the present invention, a grinding box 4 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting base 1. A positioning frame 41 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the grinding box 4. A telescopic cylinder 42 is fixedly connected to one side wall of the positioning frame 41 at the end of the grinding box 4. A grinding component 43 is fixedly connected to the movable end of the telescopic cylinder 42. A grinding disc 44 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the grinding component 43. The positioning frame 41 is used to position the grinding component 43 and the grinding disc 44 to prevent the grinding disc 44 from shifting during the grinding and cutting process. A circular groove is opened at the end of the grinding box 4. The relative position between the circular groove and the gap formed between the positioning frame 41, the upper mounting seat 21 and the lower mounting seat 27 is matched, so that the fixed and positioned fiber optic connector can be directly conveyed to the center of the circular groove, which is convenient for the grinding component 43 and the grinding disc 44 to cut the fiber optic connector. A water tank 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the grinding box 4. A connecting pipe 51 is fixedly connected to the output end of the water tank 5. A spray head 52 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the connecting pipe 51. The spray head 52 can suck water from the inside of the water tank 5 through the connecting pipe 51 and atomize it to cool down and remove dust in the grinding box 4. At the same time, a sewage discharge groove is opened at the lower part of the grinding box 4 to discharge the liquid mixed with impurities inside the grinding box 4. Further, a water conveying pipe is fixedly connected to one end of the water tank 5 away from the telescopic cylinder 42, and the staff can fill water into the inside of the water tank 5 through the water conveying pipe.

[0022] In this invention, during use, the fiber optic connector to be cut is first placed in the inverted triangular positioning groove of the lower mounting base 21. The motor 22 drives the rotating gear 23 to drive the connecting gear 24, causing the inclined guide wheel 25 to rotate, thereby pulling the fiber optic connector forward. At the same time, the upper limiting block 28 is pressed down by the telescopic rod 210 and the first telescopic spring 29. The positioning mechanism 3 at its bottom uses the second telescopic spring 33, the connecting rod 34 and the fixing piece 35 to make the limiting roller 36 elastically press the fiber optic connector, which cooperates with the positioning groove to achieve stable clamping and guidance. After the fiber optic cable is pulled to the position of the polishing box 4, the telescopic cylinder 42 pushes the polishing assembly 43, causing the rotating polishing disc 44 to cut and polish the fiber optic cable. At the same time, the water tank 5 sprays water through the connecting pipe 51 and the nozzle 52 for cooling and cleaning.

[0023] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
