Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical fiber processing technology, specifically to an automatic optical fiber picking device. Background Technology

[0002] Optical fiber is a thin, flexible filament made of highly pure glass or plastic. Its structure is like a "light pipe." The core of its technology is to transmit information using the principle of total internal reflection. It can transmit massive amounts of data over extremely long distances at near the speed of light with low loss and high fidelity.

[0003] In the manufacturing process of optical fiber, the yarn tube at its end needs to be polished. After polishing, the optical fiber needs to be removed from the polishing fixture. However, in the existing technology, the optical fibers on the polishing fixture need to be disassembled one by one, which is extremely inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic fiber optic disassembly device for batch disassembly of optical fibers, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows.

[0006] An automatic optical fiber acquisition device, comprising: The foundation is used to support the first negative pressure seat.

[0007] The unlocking mechanism consists of two sets, located on both sides of the support platform, and is used to unlock the machine screws.

[0008] The extraction plate has an adapter plate at its bottom, and two suction sections are installed at the bottom of the adapter plate. The bottom of each suction section has multiple suction holes. The extraction plate has multiple vacuum tube connectors, and the adapter plate has multiple negative pressure channels inside. The vacuum tube connectors are connected to the suction holes through the negative pressure channels.

[0009] Therefore, it is evident that by utilizing negative pressure, batch disassembly of optical fibers can be achieved through suction holes, improving disassembly efficiency. The unlocking mechanism automatically unlocks the nut screws, releasing the optical fibers and eliminating the tedious manual unlocking operation, further enhancing disassembly efficiency. The spatial layout is rational, and the structure is compact and simple, facilitating equipment miniaturization.

[0010] Furthermore, the unlocking mechanism includes a precessing cylinder mounted on a fixed base. An unlocking motor is mounted on the movable end of the precessing cylinder via a mounting base, and a cutting head is connected to the end of the unlocking motor's output shaft. This achieves the purpose of automatically unlocking the nut screw.

[0011] Furthermore, there are four vacuum tube connectors and four corresponding negative pressure channels, with two negative pressure channels on the same side corresponding to one suction section. The suction section has nine suction holes, with one suction hole near the unlocking mechanism being an elongated hole. Four consecutive suction holes, including the elongated hole, correspond to one negative pressure channel, and another five consecutive suction holes correspond to another negative pressure channel. This enables grouped suction, and the elongated hole design facilitates simultaneous suction of the two outermost capillaries.

[0012] Furthermore, the surface of the extraction plate is provided with multiple mounting holes. The extraction plate is connected to the robotic arm through these mounting holes.

[0013] Furthermore, two anti-reverse stops are installed on the surface of the support. These stops limit the movement of the capillary tube when the nut screw is unlocked.

[0014] Furthermore, the four vacuum tube connectors are each connected to a solenoid valve via vacuum tubes, and the four solenoid valves are connected to the vacuum pump via vacuum tubes. Even if one suction port is open to the atmosphere, the remaining fiber optic cable in that path can still maintain its position through negative pressure.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows.

[0016] 1. This utility model uses negative pressure to achieve batch disassembly of optical fibers through suction holes, improving disassembly efficiency. The disassembled optical fibers are neatly arranged, making them easy to place and facilitating automated loading and unloading, further improving production efficiency. In addition, the structure is simple and compact, and the manufacturing cost is low.

[0017] 2. This utility model, through the setting of the unlocking mechanism, can automatically unlock the machine screws and release the fixation of the optical fiber, eliminating the tedious operation of manual unlocking and further improving the disassembly efficiency.

[0018] 3. This utility model uses four electromagnetic valves to group and suck the fiber, which makes it easy to maintain the position of the remaining pigtails in the same path by negative pressure even if a suction hole is connected to the atmosphere when the optical fiber is disassembled one by one.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0022] like Figure 1-6 As shown, an automatic optical fiber acquisition device includes: Foundation 1 is used to support the first negative pressure seat 4.

[0023] Unlocking mechanism 2, there are two sets of unlocking mechanism 2, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the support platform 1, and are used to unlock the 404 screws.

[0024] Extraction plate 3, with adapter plate 301 installed at the bottom of extraction plate 3. Two suction parts 302 are installed at the bottom of adapter plate 301. Multiple suction holes 303 are opened at the bottom of suction parts 302. Multiple vacuum tube connectors 304 are installed on extraction plate 3. Multiple negative pressure channels 305 are opened inside adapter plate 301. Vacuum tube connectors 304 are connected to suction holes 303 through negative pressure channels 305.

[0025] The second negative pressure seat 401 has a negative pressure chamber inside. Multiple negative pressure sub-holes communicating with the negative pressure chamber are opened on the surface of the second negative pressure seat 401. A through hole communicating with the negative pressure chamber is opened at the bottom of the second negative pressure seat 401. A channel for providing negative pressure is provided on the first negative pressure seat 4. When the through hole at the bottom of the second negative pressure seat 401 communicates with the channel on the first negative pressure seat 4, the second negative pressure seat 401 can be adsorbed onto the first negative pressure seat 4, and the optical fiber can be adsorbed onto the negative pressure sub-holes on the surface of the second negative pressure seat 401. When disassembling the optical fiber, the first negative pressure seat 4 is fixed to the top of the support 1 with bolts. The second negative pressure seat 401 is removed from the clamping mechanism on the grinding disc and placed back onto the first negative pressure seat 4 on the top of the support 1. Under the action of negative pressure, the second negative pressure seat 401 and the optical fiber on its surface are adsorbed and positioned. Adjust the two side screws 404 by unlocking the two sides to make the rubber slider 403 leave the capillary tube. Then remove the cover plate 402, move the extraction plate 3 down, and make the suction hole 303 of the suction part 302 aligned with the capillary tube of the optical fiber. The capillary tube of the optical fiber is sucked by the negative pressure. Then the negative pressure of the first negative pressure seat 4 is released, and the extraction plate 3 moves up to take away the optical fiber.

[0026] The adapter plate 301 is preferably made of stainless steel, which is wear-resistant and durable. The independent adapter plate 301 facilitates the processing and shaping of the vacuum channel.

[0027] Preferably, the unlocking mechanism 2 includes a precessing cylinder 202 mounted on a fixed base 201. The movable end of the precessing cylinder 202 is mounted with an unlocking motor 204 via a mounting base 203. The end of the output shaft of the unlocking motor 204 is connected to a cutter head 205.

[0028] When the second negative pressure seat 401 is attached to the first negative pressure seat 4 on the top of the support 1, the two advance cylinders 202 and the unlocking motor 204 start simultaneously, driving the cutter head 205 to turn the two caliper screws 404. The unlocking motor 204 drives the cutter head 205 to rotate counterclockwise, and the mounting seat 203 drives the cutter head 205 to gradually retract, so as to achieve the purpose of automatically unlocking the caliper screws 404. Conversely, the caliper screws 404 can be tightened, so that they push the rubber slider 403 to clamp the capillary tube.

[0029] Preferably, there are four vacuum tube connectors 304 and four negative pressure channels 305, each corresponding to one another. Two negative pressure channels 305 on the same side correspond to one suction section 302. The suction section 302 has nine suction holes 303, and one suction hole 303 near the unlocking mechanism 2 is an elongated hole. Specifically, four consecutive suction holes 303, including the elongated hole, correspond to one negative pressure channel 305, and another five consecutive suction holes 303 correspond to another negative pressure channel 305.

[0030] Group suction is achieved so that when unloading optical fibers one by one, even if a suction hole 303 of a certain path is connected to the atmosphere, the remaining pigtails of that path can still maintain their position through negative pressure.

[0031] Due to rubber deformation, the rubber slider 403 occupies part of the lateral space, which restricts the width of the suction part 302 of the adapter plate 301 and makes it difficult to arrange independent suction holes 303. Therefore, it is necessary to use a long hole to simultaneously suction the two outermost capillaries.

[0032] Preferably, the diameter of the suction hole 303 is a non-elongated hole of 0.5 to 0.8 mm, more preferably 0.7 mm, and the width of the elongated hole is preferably 0.7 mm and the length is 1.3 mm. This ensures that even if a suction hole 303 is connected to the atmosphere, the remaining optical fiber in that path can still maintain its position through negative pressure.

[0033] Preferably, the surface of the extraction plate 3 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 306.

[0034] Connecting the extraction plate 3 to the robotic arm via the mounting hole 306 facilitates automated loading and unloading, further improving production efficiency.

[0035] Preferably, two anti-reverse bars 101 are installed on the surface of the pier 1.

[0036] When the second negative pressure seat 401 is placed on the first negative pressure seat 4, one side of the second negative pressure seat 401 is limited by the stop block on the first negative pressure seat 4, and the other side is limited by two anti-reverse stops 101, thus limiting the second negative pressure seat 401 in the Y-axis direction. Furthermore, the two anti-reverse stops 101 are located on both sides of the two sets of capillaries on the second negative pressure seat 401. When the two sets of capillaries are located between the two anti-reverse stops 101, the second negative pressure seat 401 is limited in the X-axis direction, thus ensuring the accuracy of the position of the second negative pressure seat 401, allowing the rubber slider 403 to accurately attract the capillaries and complete the disassembly. Moreover, through the limiting effect of the anti-reverse stops 101, when the locking screw 404 is unlocked, the rubber slider 403 is prevented from pulling away the capillaries during retraction.

[0037] Preferably, the four vacuum tube connectors 304 are respectively connected to the solenoid valves through vacuum tubes, and the four solenoid valves are connected to the vacuum pump through vacuum tubes.

[0038] By using a vacuum pump to provide negative pressure, four solenoid valves are used to achieve the purpose of grouped suction. Even if a suction port 303 of a certain path is connected to the atmosphere, the remaining pigtails in that path can still maintain their position through negative pressure.

[0039] All standard parts used in this utility model can be purchased from the market, and irregular parts can be customized according to the description and drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here. The contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art known to those skilled in the art.

For those skilled in the art, any equivalent substitutions or obvious modifications made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and which have the same performance or use, should be considered as falling within the patent protection scope defined by the submitted claims.
