Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical fiber shaping technology, and in particular to a plastic optical fiber shaping device. Background Technology

[0002] Plastic optical fiber (POF) is an optical fiber with a highly transparent polymer as its core material. Its core layer is typically made of materials such as polystyrene (PS), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), or polycarbonate (PC), while the sheath is often made of PMMA or fluoroplastics. Due to the unique optical attenuation characteristics and temperature resistance of different polymer materials, POF exhibits diverse application scenarios. This type of fiber is not only suitable for the "last mile" transmission (100-1000 meters) in broadband access networks, but also widely used in short-range data communication systems in vehicles such as automobiles and airplanes due to its lightweight, flexibility, and resistance to electromagnetic interference, making it an ideal medium for modern short-range data transmission.

[0003] However, due to non-standard fiber shaping processes and differences in operator skills, deviations occurred in the bending curvature of the fibers, causing some fibers to be under stress for extended periods. During equipment operation, influenced by environmental changes and human factors, these fibers gradually developed signal transmission anomalies, ultimately leading to equipment failure. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a plastic optical fiber shaping device that solves the problem that, due to non-standard optical fiber shaping processes and differences in operator skills, the bending curvature of optical fibers deviates, causing some fibers to be under stress for extended periods. During equipment operation, these fibers gradually exhibit abnormal signal transmission due to environmental changes and human factors, ultimately leading to equipment failure.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a plastic optical fiber shaping device, including a base plate and a bending device. The bending device includes a chassis, a fixing tube, a clamping strip, a bending roller, an extrusion assembly, and a pushing assembly. The chassis is fixedly mounted on the base plate, the fixing tube is fixedly mounted on the chassis, the fixing tube has a vertical groove, the clamping strip has a clamping groove, the clamping strip slides through the clamping groove and engages with the fixing tube, the clamping strip passes through the vertical groove, the extrusion assembly is mounted on the fixing tube, and the bending roller is mounted on the base plate through the pushing assembly.

[0006] The extrusion assembly includes an extrusion ring and a rotating component, wherein the extrusion ring is slidably mounted on the fixed tube via the rotating component.

[0007] The rotating component includes a threaded ring and a rotating rod, wherein the threaded ring is threadedly engaged with the fixed pipe; and the rotating rod is fixedly mounted on the threaded ring.

[0008] The pushing assembly includes a pushing frame, a connecting frame, a sliding plate, and a sliding component. The sliding plate is slidably mounted on the base plate via the sliding component. The connecting frame is fixedly mounted on the sliding plate. The pushing frame is fixedly mounted on the connecting frame and is fixedly connected to the curved roller.

[0009] The sliding component includes a fixed seat and a sliding rod. The fixed seat is fixedly installed on the base plate, and the sliding rod is fixedly installed on the fixed seat and slides in cooperation with the sliding plate.

[0010] This utility model discloses a plastic optical fiber shaping device. In use, multiple optical fibers are first clamped from bottom to top between two clamping strips. Then, by rotating the rotating rod, the threaded ring rotates, causing it to move downwards along the fixed tube. The threaded ring then drives the compression ring downwards along the fixed tube, compressing the uppermost clamping strip. This causes the clamping strips to move downwards within the vertical groove, fixing one end of each optical fiber. The other end of the optical fibers is fixed to another set of fixed tubes in the same manner. At this point, the middle of each optical fiber is relaxed. Next, the connecting frame is pushed towards one side of the optical fiber, causing the sliding plate to slide on the sliding rod. The connecting frame, through the pushing frame, moves the bending roller closer to the optical fiber, pressing it against the fiber and maintaining its bent shape, thus achieving shaping. The clamping force between the clamping strips ensures that each optical fiber is evenly fixed to the fixed tubes on both sides, preventing bending deviations during the shaping process.

Detailed Implementation

[0015] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0016] The embodiment of this application is as follows:

[0017] Please see Figure 1-2 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of a plastic optical fiber shaping device according to this utility model. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram showing the connection between the fixing tube and the clamping strip of this utility model.

[0018] This utility model provides a plastic optical fiber shaping device, including a base plate 101 and a bending device. The bending device includes a base plate 102, a fixing tube 103, a clamping strip 104, a bending roller 105, a pressing assembly, and a pushing assembly. The pressing assembly includes a pressing ring 108 and a rotating component. The rotating component includes a threaded ring 109 and a rotating rod 110. The pushing assembly includes a pushing frame 111, a connecting frame 112, a sliding plate 113, and a sliding component. The sliding component includes a fixed seat 114 and a sliding rod 115. This solution addresses the problem that due to non-standard optical fiber shaping processes and differences in operator skills, the bending curvature of optical fibers deviates, causing some fibers to be under stress for extended periods. During equipment operation, environmental changes and human factors can lead to signal transmission abnormalities in these fibers, ultimately causing equipment failure.

[0019] In this embodiment, the clamping force between the clips 104 ensures that each optical fiber is flush and fixed on the fixing tubes 103 on both sides, thus avoiding bending deviation of the optical fiber during the shaping process.

[0020] The chassis 102 is fixedly mounted on the base plate 101. The fixing tube 103 is fixedly mounted on the chassis 102. The fixing tube 103 has a vertical groove 106. The retaining strip 104 has a retaining groove 107. The retaining strip 104 slides through the retaining groove 107 and is connected to the fixing tube 103. The retaining strip 104 passes through the vertical groove 106. The extrusion assembly is mounted on the fixing tube 103. The curved roller 105 is mounted on the base plate 101 via the pushing assembly. The chassis 102 is fixed to the base plate 101 with screws. There are two sets of chassis 102. The fixing tube 103 is welded to the chassis 102 and symmetrically arranged on both sides of the base plate 101. The number of the clamping strips 104 is multiple and vertically arranged in the clamping slot 107. The bending roller 105 is a cylindrical structure. By clamping the two ends of multiple optical fibers from bottom to top between the clamping strips 104, and by squeezing the uppermost clamping strip 104 with the squeezing component, the clamping strip 104 fixes the optical fibers and ensures that each optical fiber is flush. The bending roller 105 is pushed by the pushing component to bend and shape multiple optical fibers, avoiding the bending curvature deviation of the optical fibers during the shaping process.

[0021] Secondly, the compression ring 108 is slidably mounted on the fixed tube 103 via the rotating member. The compression ring 108 is a circular ring structure. The rotating member drives the compression ring 108 vertically, causing the compression ring 108 to move downward and compress the clip 104.

[0022] Furthermore, the threaded ring 109 is threadedly engaged with the fixed tube 103; the rotating rod 110 is fixedly mounted on the threaded ring 109, the inner side of the threaded ring 109 is provided with threads, the inner and outer diameters of the compression ring 108 are both larger than the inner and outer diameters of the threaded ring 109, the rotating rod 110 is circumferentially arranged on the outer periphery of the threaded ring 109, by rotating the rotating rod 110 the threaded ring 109 is rotated, and the threaded ring 109 moves along the fixed tube 103, and drives the compression ring 108 to move.

[0023] Furthermore, the slide plate 113 is slidably mounted on the base plate 101 via the sliding member; the connecting frame 112 is fixedly mounted on the slide plate 113; the push frame 111 is fixedly mounted on the connecting frame 112 and fixedly connected to the curved roller 105. The push frame 111 has a U-shaped structure, the connecting frame 112 has an L-shaped structure, and the slide plate 113 has a flat plate structure. Through the setting of the sliding member, the slide plate 113 can slide above the base plate 101. By pushing the connecting frame 112, the slide plate 113 slides, while the connecting frame 112 pushes the push frame 111, causing the push frame 111 to drive the curved roller 105 to move.

[0024] Finally, the fixing seat 114 is fixedly installed on the base plate 101; the slide rod 115 is fixedly installed on the fixing seat 114 and slides in cooperation with the slide plate 113. The fixing seat 114 is welded to the base plate 101. There are two sets of fixing seats 114, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the base plate 101. There are also two sets of slide rods 115, which are arranged in parallel between the two sets of fixing seats 114. Through the arrangement of the fixing seat 114 and the slide rod 115, the slide plate 113 can slide above the base plate 101.

[0025] In this embodiment, during use, one end of each of the multiple optical fibers is first secured between two locking strips 104 from bottom to top. Then, by rotating the rotating rod 110, the threaded ring 109 is rotated, causing it to move downwards along the fixing tube 103. The threaded ring 109 then drives the compression ring 108 downwards along the fixing tube 103, causing the compression ring 108 to compress the uppermost locking strip 104. This causes the multiple locking strips 104 to tend to move downwards within the vertical groove 106, fixing one end of each optical fiber, while the other ends of the optical fibers remain secured. The fiber is then fixed to another set of fixing tubes 103 in the manner described above. At this time, the middle part of each fiber is in a relaxed state. Then, the connecting frame 112 is pushed to one side of the fiber, so that the sliding plate 113 slides on the sliding rod 115. The connecting frame 112 drives the bending roller 105 to approach the fiber through the pushing frame 111 and presses the fiber against it, so that the fiber is kept in a bent state and is shaped. Thus, through the clamping force between the clips 104, each fiber can be fixed flat on the fixing tubes 103 on both sides, avoiding the bending curvature deviation of the fiber during the shaping process.

[0026] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely one or more preferred embodiments of this application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this application. Those skilled in the art can understand that all or part of the processes for implementing the above embodiments and equivalent changes made in accordance with the claims of this application still fall within the scope of this application.
