It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0029] Example:

[0030] like Figures 1-6As shown, this utility model provides a plastic optical fiber assembly device, including a fixed platform 1; an assembly box 2 and a cleaning component 3 are provided on the fixed platform 1; the cleaning component 3 includes a fixed ring 5 fixed on the fixed platform 1 by a fixed post 4; a cleaning ring 6 is coaxially rotatably provided at one end of the fixed ring 5 near the assembly box 2; a circumferentially distributed cleaning brush is provided on the inner wall of the cleaning ring 6; a driving component 7 is provided on the fixed ring 5 for driving the cleaning ring 6 to rotate; an assembly groove 8 is opened in the assembly box 2; a polymer coating layer 9 is placed in the assembly groove 8; the bottom wall of the assembly groove 8 is an arc-shaped concave surface, which uses the self-centering property of the curved surface to constrain the polymer coating layer 9, avoid abnormal displacement of the polymer coating layer 9 in the static state, and facilitate better positioning of the polymer coating layer 9; an inlet groove 10 communicating with the assembly groove 8 is opened at one end of the assembly box 2; the inlet groove 10 is coaxial with the cleaning ring 6; wherein, the optical fiber passes through the fixed ring 5, the cleaning brush of the cleaning ring 6 and the inlet groove 10 in sequence, and enters the assembly groove 8 to complete the assembly with the polymer coating layer 9.

[0031] The principles and beneficial effects of the above technical solution:

[0032] The optical fiber passes through the cleaning brush of the fixing ring 5 and the cleaning ring 6 and the inlet groove 10 in sequence, and enters the assembly groove 8 to complete the assembly with the polymer coating layer 9. During the assembly of the optical fiber, the cleaning ring 6 can be driven to rotate coaxially by the driving component 7, so that the cleaning brush dynamically cleans the dust and other impurities adhering to the optical fiber. Compared with the existing technology, this dynamic cleaning method reduces the generation of cleaning dead corners and can improve the cleaning effect.

[0033] In this embodiment, one end of the fixed ring 5 has an annular rotating groove; the cross-sectional shape of the rotating groove is T-shaped; a rotating ring 11 with a T-shaped cross-section is coaxially rotatably disposed inside the rotating groove; a cleaning ring 6 is coaxially connected to the rotating ring 11; the rotating ring 11 includes a rotating outer ring 11 located outside the rotating groove; the rotating outer ring has an annular structure; a toothed ring 12 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating outer ring; a driving member 7 is disposed on the fixed ring 5; the driving member 7 has a rotatable power end; a driving gear that meshes with the toothed ring 12 is provided on the power end; the driving member 7 is a servo motor.

[0034] The principles and beneficial effects of the above technical solution:

[0035] The drive component 7 drives the gear to rotate, which in turn drives the gear ring 12 to rotate the cleaning ring 6, thus achieving dynamic cleaning by the cleaning brush. The T-shaped rotating ring 11 and the rotating groove cooperate to limit the rotation of the cleaning ring 6, axially restricting the rotating ring 11 from dislodging, and improving the rotational stability of the cleaning ring 6.

[0036] In this embodiment, an annular cleaning groove 13 is opened at one end of the rotating outer ring near the assembly box 2; a part of the cleaning ring 6 is coaxially engaged in the cleaning groove 13.

[0037] The principles and beneficial effects of the above technical solution:

[0038] The cleaning tank 13 and the cleaning ring 6 are engaged to facilitate the disassembly of the cleaning ring 6 and the regular cleaning of the cleaning brush.

[0039] In this embodiment, a dust baffle 14 is provided on the fixed platform 1; the dust baffle 14 has through holes for allowing optical fibers to pass through; the dust baffle 14 is located between the assembly box 2 and the cleaning ring 6.

[0040] The principles and beneficial effects of the above technical solution:

[0041] Dust and debris ejected by the rotating cleaning ring 6 are blocked by the dust baffle 14 and slide off the surface of the baffle, preventing back splashing and contamination of the cleaned area of ​​the optical fiber.

[0042] The dust baffle 14 precisely constrains the optical fiber path through the through holes, ensuring that it always remains coaxial with the cleaning ring 6 and the inlet groove 10 of the assembly box 2, avoiding brush bristle wear or coating scratches caused by skewing.

[0043] In this embodiment, the assembly box 2 is provided with a conical guide cylinder 15 that communicates with the inlet groove 10 at one end near the dust baffle plate 14; the large-diameter end of the conical guide cylinder 15 is close to the cleaning ring 6.

[0044] The principles and beneficial effects of the above technical solution:

[0045] The arrangement of the tapered guide tube 15 can form a progressive convergence channel, so that the optical fiber is guided by the tapered surface during movement, gradually correcting the slight deviation, and finally accurately aligning with the inlet slot 10.

[0046] In this embodiment, the fixed platform 1 is also provided with a guiding assembly; the guiding assembly includes guide rollers 16 arranged in a linear array on both sides of the optical fiber; the guide rollers 16 are rotatably mounted on the fixed platform 1 via a rotating shaft 17; the guide rollers 16 are arranged vertically and are all in contact with the optical fiber. Part of the rotating shaft 17 rotates through to the bottom of the fixed platform 1; the bottom of the fixed platform 1 is provided with a rotating component 18; the rotating component 18 is used to drive the rotating shaft 17 to rotate, so as to speed up the passage of the optical fiber through the inlet slot 10; the rotating component 18 is a servo motor; the rotating component 18 has a rotatable power end; a rotating gear 19 is provided on the power end; a rotating gear meshing with the rotating gear 19 is provided on the part of the rotating shaft 17 that extends through to the bottom of the fixed platform 1.

[0047] The principles and beneficial effects of the above technical solution:

[0048] The rotating component 18 can drive the rotating shaft 17 to rotate under the transmission action of the gear assembly, thereby causing the guide roller 16 to rotate as well. The guide roller 16 is arranged in a linear array, and a clamping area is formed between each pair of guide rollers 16. The optical fiber is automatically centered under the rotation of the rollers to avoid misalignment.

[0049] In this embodiment, the other end of the assembly box 2 has a detection port; a position detection rod 20 is placed inside the polymer coating layer 9; the position detection rod 20 slides with the detection port; and the position detection rod 20 has scale lines.

[0050] The principles and beneficial effects of the above technical solution:

[0051] The position detection rod 20 slides within the inner cavity of the polymer coating layer 9, with its end contacting the fiber end face. When the fiber is inserted into the coating layer, it pushes the detection rod 20 outward through the detection port, directly displaying the insertion depth via scale lines.

[0052] In this embodiment, a guide seat 21 is provided on the fixed platform 1; the guide seat 21 is arranged away from the cleaning ring 6; a guide hole is opened on the guide seat 21; the guide hole is coaxial with the cleaning ring 6.

[0053] The principles and beneficial effects of the above technical solution:

[0054] Before entering the cleaning ring 6, the optical fiber passes through the guide hole for coarse positioning, reducing the initial offset and significantly reducing the correction burden on the cleaning brush.
