[0026] Below, for reference Figures 1-6 The present invention describes an automatic fiber arrangement device for optical fiber ring fabrication according to a preferred embodiment.

[0027] In the preferred embodiment, the automatic fiber arrangement device is designed to assist the fiber loop winding equipment (i.e., the loop winding module 5) in completing the winding of the loop fiber 7 on the disc frame 6.

[0028] Specifically, in the preferred embodiment, the winding module 5 includes a winding motor 501, a reducer 502, and a coupling 503 coaxially connected. The disc-shaped frame 6 is mounted on a rotating actuator connected to the coupling 503, allowing the disc-shaped frame 6 to rotate around the axis under the drive of the winding motor 501. Correspondingly, during the rotation of the disc-shaped frame 6, the wound optical fiber 7 is continuously fed to the disc-shaped frame 6, and under the rotation of the disc-shaped frame 6, the wound optical fiber 7 completes layered winding on the winding surface of the disc-shaped frame 6. The automatic fiber arrangement device in the preferred embodiment is designed to ensure that the winding of the wound optical fiber 7 on the winding surface can be performed quickly and accurately, thereby ensuring the quality of the wound optical fiber ring.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the automatic fiber arrangement device for fiber ring fabrication in the preferred embodiment includes a mounting block 1, a fiber pressing module 2, an image recognition module 3, and a drive module 4; The mounting block 1 is connected to the drive module 4 and can be adjusted in position under the drive of the drive module 4.

[0030] More specifically, in the preferred embodiment, the drive module 4 is used to drive the mounting block 1 to adjust its position, thereby enabling the automatic fiber arrangement device and the looped optical fiber 7 to perform single-row winding and multi-row switching. Before winding begins, the drive module 4 can move the mounting block 1 above the winding surface of the disc frame 6, and then drive the mounting block 1 to perform horizontal and vertical displacements to accommodate single-layer winding and layer-to-layer switching of the looped optical fiber 7.

[0031] Of course, it is understandable that during actual winding, the winding module 5 can also be configured to synchronously drive the disc-shaped frame 6 to perform linear displacement during rotation, thereby achieving single-layer fiber winding of the looped fiber 7. Obviously, in this case, the fiber pressing module 2 maintains a constant horizontal position during the fiber winding process, and only needs to be vertically raised and lowered when switching between multiple layers of winding.

[0032] Furthermore, the fiber pressing module 2 and the image recognition module 3 are respectively connected to the mounting block 1 and can move synchronously with the mounting block 1.

[0033] The image recognition module 3 is used to measure the outer diameter of the optical fiber to be wound. It is preferably spaced apart from the fiber pressing module 2 in a first direction, which is preferably the direction in which the looped optical fiber 7 is fed to the disc-shaped frame 6. Figure 2 As shown in the diagram. Meanwhile, during fiber winding, the image recognition module 3 is located on the side of the fiber compression module 2 closer to the fiber's direction of origin, so that the looped fiber 7 first passes under the image recognition module 3 before being fed to the winding surface of the disc frame 6 and the fiber compression module 2 completes the fiber compression winding.

[0034] By utilizing the aforementioned position settings of the image recognition module 3 and the fiber pressing module 2, the outer diameter of the looped optical fiber 7 can be identified by the image recognition module 3 first, and then the corresponding position of the fiber pressing module 2 can be adjusted accordingly, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the looped optical fiber 7 winding.

[0035] Furthermore, in the preferred embodiment, the fiber pressing module 2 includes a pressing pin 201 and a pressing rod 202 disposed adjacent to each other in a first direction. The top of the pressing rod 202 is fixedly connected to the mounting block 1 and can move synchronously with the mounting block 1. The bottom of the pressing rod 202 is provided with a pressing plate 203 for pressing the looped optical fiber 7 vertically to ensure the flatness of the single-layer optical fiber winding.

[0036] Meanwhile, in the preferred embodiment, the pressure pin 201 is disposed on one side of the pressure rod 202 in the first direction, with a tapered portion at its bottom and its top connected to the mounting block 1 via the adjusting assembly 204. When the pressure plate 203 at the bottom of the pressure rod 202 vertically presses the looped optical fiber 7, the tapered portion of the pressure pin 201 can abut against the side wall surface of the looped optical fiber 7, such as... Figure 3 As shown in the image.

[0037] By simultaneously setting up the pressure pin 201 and the pressure rod 202 (pressure plate 203), the looped optical fiber 7 wound on the winding surface can be oriented vertically and laterally (i.e., on one side of the optical fiber along the horizontal winding direction). Figure 3 For example, the looped optical fiber 7 is wound from right to left. The outer periphery of the cone of the pressure pin 201 abuts against the left side of the looped optical fiber 7 to limit the movement and ensure that the looped optical fiber 7 can be accurately wound in layers.

[0038] More specifically, in the preferred embodiment, the top of the pressure pin 201 is connected to the mounting block 1 by an adjustment component 204, and can be vertically adjusted under the drive of the adjustment component 204, so that the fiber pressing module 2 can vertically limit the fiber with the pressure plate 203 and abut against one side of the fiber along the horizontal winding direction with the cone portion during fiber winding.

[0039] For the adjustment component 204 in the preferred embodiment, it can be selected from the prior art as needed, as long as it can achieve vertical relative adjustment of the pressure needle 201 relative to the pressure rod 202.

[0040] As an example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the top of the pressure rod 202 is connected to a linear motor 2041 mounted on the mounting block 1, and the linear motor 2041 can drive the pressure rod 202 to perform vertical lifting and lowering adjustment. At this time, the linear motor 2041 is mounted on the bottom surface of the mounting block 1; or, a through hole is provided on the mounting block 1, and the top of the pressure rod 202 passes through the through hole and is connected to the output shaft of the linear motor 2041.

[0041] As another example, such as Figure 5 As shown, the top outer periphery of the pressure rod 202 is provided with an external thread 2042; correspondingly, a threaded hole 2043 is provided through the mounting block 1, and the top of the pressure rod 202 is threadedly connected to the mounting block 1. The vertical lifting and lowering of the pressure rod 202 can be controlled by rotating the pressure rod 202 relative to the mounting block 1. For the lifting and lowering control of the pressure rod 202 in this embodiment, a rotary motor can be set on the mounting block 1, and the rotary motor drives the pressure rod 202 to rotate to complete the lifting and lowering adjustment. Of course, a rotating handle 2044 can also be set on the top of the pressure rod 202 to complete its lifting and lowering adjustment by manual adjustment.

[0042] As another example, such as Figure 6 As shown, the adjustment component 204 corresponding to the pressure rod 202 is a combination structure of a rotary motor 2047, a gear 2045, and a rack 2046. In this case, the rotary motor 2047 is mounted on the mounting block 1, its output shaft is connected to the gear 2045, and the rack 2046 is axially positioned on one side of the top of the pressure rod 202. The gear 2045 and rack 2046 mesh and match, and the lifting and lowering control of the rack 2046 and the pressure rod 202 can be achieved through the rotation control of the gear 2045.

[0043] Obviously, in addition to the three examples mentioned above, the adjustment component 204 in the preferred embodiment can also be configured in other forms as needed, as long as it can realize the lifting and lowering control of the pressure rod 202, which will not be elaborated here.

[0044] Furthermore, to improve the holding effect of the pressure plate 203, in the preferred embodiment, the pressure plate 203 extends along the second direction and is connected to the bottom of the pressure rod 202 at its middle. In this case, both ends of the pressure plate 203 protrude from both sides of the pressure rod 202 to increase the holding range of the pressure plate 203 and prevent the looped optical fiber 7 from falling out of the holding range of the pressure plate 203. Specifically, the second direction refers to the single-layer fiber arrangement direction of the looped optical fiber 7 on the winding surface, which is a horizontal direction perpendicular to the first direction.

[0045] In actual setup, the image recognition module 3, the pressure bar 202, and the pressure pin 201 are spaced apart in the first direction, so that the optical fiber to be wound can first pass through the image recognition module 3 for outer diameter recognition, then be vertically pressed by the pressure plate 203 at the bottom of the pressure bar 202, and be horizontally limited by the tapered part of the pressure pin 201.

[0046] Based on the recognition of the outer diameter of the looped optical fiber 7 by the image recognition module 3, the spacing between the pressure plate 203 and the winding surface and the height of the pressure needle 201 can be adjusted accordingly to ensure that the pressure plate 203 reliably holds the looped optical fiber 7, avoid the looped optical fiber 7 being excessively squeezed by the pressure plate 203 and avoid the tip of the pressure needle 201 rubbing against the wound optical fiber.

[0047] More specifically, for the image recognition module 3 in the preferred embodiment, it is preferably an optical fiber measuring instrument connected to the edge of the mounting block 1.

[0048] It is understood that the selection of the image recognition module 3 in the preferred embodiment can be made from existing technologies according to actual needs, such as Nikon microscope series, Keyence high-precision laser diameter measuring instrument, etc., which will not be elaborated here.

[0049] More specifically, regarding the drive module 4 in the preferred embodiment, it is not the focus of this preferred embodiment of the present invention, therefore... Figure 1 Only a simplified illustration of the drive module 4 is provided. The drive module 4 in the preferred embodiment can achieve its function by employing mature technologies from the prior art, such as the three-dimensional motion mechanism in patent document CN116551519A or the multi-axis robotic arm in patent document CN216657996U.

[0050] As an optional example, a multi-axis translation module is used as the drive module 4 to drive the displacement of the mounting block 1. The multi-axis translation module is similar to the aforementioned three-dimensional motion mechanism, and preferably includes at least a combined horizontal sliding unit and a lifting sliding unit. The mounting block 1 is connected to the horizontal sliding unit, which drives the mounting block 1 to perform horizontal displacement; the horizontal sliding unit is connected to the lifting sliding unit, which drives both the horizontal sliding unit and the mounting block 1 to perform vertical lifting. Of course, the multi-axis translation module can also integrate two sets of sliding units that perform orthogonal displacement in the horizontal plane, which will not be elaborated here.

[0051] As another alternative example, a multi-axis robotic arm is used as the drive module 4 to drive the displacement of the mounting block 1. When selecting a multi-axis robotic arm, the degree of freedom of the multi-axis robotic arm (corresponding to the selection of the number of axes) can be determined according to actual needs and operational precision, which will not be elaborated here.

[0052] For the automatic fiber feeding device in the preferred embodiment, its usage process preferably includes the following: Before starting the winding, the disc frame 6 to be wound is installed on the winding module 5, and the winding fiber 7 to be wound is pulled to the disc frame 6; the end of the winding fiber 7 is fixed on the winding surface of the disc frame 6, and the outer diameter of the winding fiber 7 is identified by the image recognition module 3. Based on the outer diameter information identified by the image recognition module 3, the height of the pressure needle 201 and the pressure rod 202 are adjusted to control the distance between the cone of the pressure needle 201 and the winding surface, as well as the length of the protruding pressure plate 203. The first turn of optical fiber is wound, starting from one end of the axial direction of the disc frame 6 and proceeding to the other end. The looped optical fiber 7 is held by the pressure plate 203, and the outer periphery of the tapered part of the pressure pin 201 abuts against the outer periphery of the looped optical fiber 7. The fiber feeding rate of the looped optical fiber 7 and the displacement rate of the drive module 4 along the axial direction of the disc frame 6 are adjusted according to the rotation speed of the looping module 5 until the winding of one layer of optical fiber is completed. In the tail region adjacent to the first layer of optical fiber, for example Figure 1 When the end of the pressure plate 203 approaches the inner wall of the baffle of the disc frame 6, the control adjustment component 204 lifts the pressure pin 201; at this time, the pressure plate 203 alone completes the pressing and winding of the single-layer end area optical fiber until the winding of the optical fiber layer is completed. After the first layer of loop fiber is wound, the drive module 4 is controlled to raise the fiber pressing module 2, so that the pressing plate 203 is raised to the height corresponding to the outer diameter of the fiber, and the adjustment component 204 is controlled to lower the pressing needle 201. At this time, the fiber pressing module 2 winds the second layer of loop fiber 7 in the opposite direction. The tapered part of the pressing needle 201 abuts against the outer periphery of the other side of the loop fiber 7 (relative to the first layer of fiber), and the pressing plate 203 vertically presses the loop fiber 7. Based on the winding requirements of the fiber optic ring, and combined with the aforementioned control process, the winding operation of the entire disc frame 6 is completed, resulting in a finished fiber optic ring product.

[0053] The automatic fiber arrangement device for fiber optic ring fabrication in this invention has a simple structure and is easy to control. It can reliably realize the vertical pressing and horizontal limiting of the fiber during the fiber winding process. The fiber pressing module is always in close contact with the fiber, preventing defects such as jumping and loose arrangement during the fiber winding process. It can also fully adapt to the winding guidance requirements of each layer of fiber at both ends of the frame, effectively ensuring the efficiency and quality of fiber optic ring fabrication.

[0054] Those skilled in the art will readily understand that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
