Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of ferrule grinding equipment, and in particular to a ferrule grinding device. Background Technology
[0002] During the polishing process, the connecting end face of the fiber optic ceramic ferrule is fixed by a polishing fixture. Specifically, existing technologies typically use a polishing disc with multiple placement stations circumferentially arranged on the base of the polishing disc, allowing multiple ferrules to be fixed and polished simultaneously. For example, Chinese utility model patent CN220446181U, entitled "Firrule Polishing Fixture," discloses a ferrule polishing fixture including a slot formed in the circumference of the disc body and a pressure block bolted to the outer circumference of the disc body. The ferrule is inserted into the slot, and then the bolt is rotated to drive the clamping arm to press the ferrule in the slot, thereby fixing the ferrule.
[0003] However, this clamping method for the ferrules, i.e. the clamp, requires adjusting multiple bolts to clamp and fix a small number of ferrules. In other words, the more ferrules are clamped, the longer the operation time. This clamping method for the ferrules is relatively troublesome, time-consuming and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a ferrule grinding device to solve the problem that the clamping method of the ferrule on the existing ferrule grinding equipment is cumbersome, time-consuming and labor-intensive.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A ferrule grinding device includes a chassis, screws, beaded clamps, a main shaft, and a grinding disc. An inner retaining ring and an outer retaining ring are concentrically arranged on the chassis. Multiple screws and multiple beaded clamps are arranged in a corresponding array along the circumferential direction. The screws are threaded onto the outer retaining rings. One end of each beaded clamp is connected to the outer circumferential surface of the inner retaining ring, and the inner end of the screw abuts against the other end of the beaded clamp. The top end of the main shaft extends out of the chassis, and the grinding disc is mounted on the top end of the main shaft.
[0007] A further technical solution is that the chassis is provided with a positioning groove that is compatible with the ferrule.
[0008] A further technical solution is that the beaded clamp is composed of multiple diamond-shaped clamps connected in sequence, and the diamond-shaped clamps are adapted to the insert.
[0009] A further technical solution is that the inner wall of the rhomboid clamp is provided with a rubber layer.
[0010] A further technical solution is that the rhomboid clamp is made of metal material.
[0011] A further technical solution is that a lifting device is installed below the chassis.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention can achieve at least one of the following beneficial effects:
[0013] This utility model proposes a ferrule grinding device. The beaded clamp on the device can clamp and fix multiple ferrules in batches by means of the extrusion of the screw. Then, the main shaft drives the grinding disc to rotate and grind the end face of the ferrule. Because of the structure of the beaded clamp, multiple ferrules can be clamped at one time by rotating the screw only once. This greatly saves time and reduces labor intensity in the clamping and fixing steps of the ferrules. Attached Figure Description

[0025] This implementation example Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a ferrule grinding device includes a base 1, screws 2, beaded clamps 3, a main shaft 4, and a grinding disc 5. An inner retaining ring 6 and an outer retaining ring 7 are concentrically arranged on the base 1. Multiple screws 2 and multiple beaded clamps 3 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence and are all arranged in an array along the circumferential direction. The screws 2 are threadedly installed on the outer retaining ring 7. One end of the beaded clamp 3 is connected to the outer circumferential surface of the inner retaining ring 6, and the inner end of the screw 2 abuts against the other end of the beaded clamp 3. The top end of the main shaft 4 extends out of the base 1, and the grinding disc 5 is installed on the top end of the main shaft 4.
[0026] The working process of this utility model is as follows: First, before installing the insert 8, the screw 2 is fully retracted to its original position, that is, the screw 2 is not pressed against the end of the beaded clamp 3. At this time, each loading cavity of the beaded clamp 3 is freely expanding. Second, the worker can vertically place each insert 8 in each loading cavity of the beaded clamp 3. Third, rotate the bolt 2 and press it against the beaded clamp 3 until each insert 8 in the beaded clamp 3 is clamped. Fourth, start the spindle 4 to rotate the grinding disc 5 to grind the end face of the insert 8. Fifth, after grinding is completed, stop the machine and rotate the screw 2 in the opposite direction. Each loading cavity of the beaded clamp 3 is freely expanding. The insert 8 is taken out and preparations are made for the grinding of the next batch of inserts, such as cleaning and inspection.
[0027] Preferably, the chassis 1 is provided with a positioning groove 9 that is compatible with the insert 8.
[0028] The positioning groove 9 can position and guide the bottom of the insert 8, further ensuring the stability of the insert 8 after clamping.
[0029] Preferably, such as Figure 4 As shown, the beaded clamp 3 consists of multiple diamond-shaped clamps connected in sequence, and the diamond-shaped clamps are adapted to the insert 8.
[0030] Each diamond-shaped clamp has a insert 8 installed inside its cavity. When the screw 2 is pressurized, each diamond-shaped clamp will be flattened by the force, thereby clamping the insert 8.
[0031] Preferably, the inner wall of the diamond-shaped clip is provided with a rubber layer.
[0032] The rubber layer prevents damage to the insert 8 when it is clamped.
[0033] Preferably, the diamond-shaped clip is made of metal.
[0034] Metallic materials have good repositioning properties.
[0035] Preferably, a lifting device 10 is provided below the chassis 1.
[0036] The lifting equipment 10 includes, but is not limited to, motor-driven lifting platforms and hydraulically driven lifting platforms in the prior art.
[0037] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
