Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical fiber arrangement technology, and more specifically, it relates to an optical fiber uniform distribution device. Background Technology

[0002] In numerous fields involving fiber optic cable arrangement, such as fiber optic fabrication, optical communication system construction, and fiber optic sensing, uniform fiber distribution is a crucial and fundamental operation. Precise and efficient fiber optic cable arrangement plays a vital role in ensuring stable optical signal transmission, improving the performance of optical communication systems, and ensuring the accuracy of fiber optic sensing.

[0003] Currently, fiber optic cable routing in the market relies on manual methods for clamping and arranging the fibers. Operators must rely on experience and measuring tools to precisely adjust the spacing between each fiber to achieve a uniform distribution. However, this traditional manual method has several significant drawbacks. On the one hand, manually adjusting fiber spacing is extremely inefficient; each adjustment requires a significant amount of time and effort from the operator, especially in large-scale fiber routing tasks, where the overall operation time increases substantially, severely impacting production or experimental progress. On the other hand, manual observation and adjustment cannot guarantee uniformity of the routing. Due to human visual errors and limitations in operational precision, significant differences in fiber spacing can occur between different operators, and even within the same operator at different times, thus affecting the overall performance of the fiber optic system.

[0004] Specifically, in practical operation, existing technologies require operators to manually adjust the distance between each fiber each time they clamp and evenly distribute it. After adjustment, measuring tools are needed to measure the distance between each fiber after distribution. This entire process is manual. This not only significantly reduces the distribution efficiency of the fibers, but the limitations of manual observation also lead to frequent uneven distribution problems. This inefficient and imprecise distribution method can no longer meet the urgent need for efficient and precise distribution in the rapid development of current fiber optic technology.

[0018] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0019] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-7 The present invention provides the following technical solution: Example 1: To address the problem of operators clamping and uniformly arranging optical fibers, which requires adjusting the spacing between each fiber individually and using measuring tools to check the distance between fibers after arrangement, this process is entirely manual, leading to reduced fiber distribution efficiency and uneven arrangement due to manual observation.

[0021] The device includes a housing 1 and a linear drive mechanism 2 disposed on the top of the housing 1, and also includes a distribution adjustment clamping mechanism 3. The distribution adjustment clamping mechanism 3 is disposed on the top of the housing 1. The distribution adjustment clamping mechanism 3 includes a first movable frame 31, a second movable frame 32, a sliding part 33, a displacement plate 34, a displacement part 35, and a clamping part 36. The first movable frame 31 is slidably disposed on the top of the housing 1, and the top of the housing 1 has a horizontal groove for limiting the movement of the first movable frame 31. The second movable frame 32 is disposed on the top of the housing 1, and the second movable frame 32 is located beside the first movable frame 31. The sliding part 33 has a pair and is slidably disposed. On the top of the first movable frame 31 and the second movable frame 32, a displacement plate 34 is slidably disposed on the top of the first movable frame 31 and the second movable frame 32, and the top of the displacement plate 34 is provided with a limiting slot 341 for limiting the equidistant movement of the displacement parts 35; there are multiple displacement parts 35, which are slidably disposed on the top of the first movable frame 31 and the second movable frame 32 respectively, and when the sliding part 33 moves, it can drive the multiple displacement parts 35 to move in a relatively far away or close-to-far state; a clamping part 36 is disposed on the top of the multiple displacement parts 35, and the clamping part 36 is used to clamp the optical fiber to be fixed, and the end face of the clamping part 36 is a chamfered structure.

[0022] In this embodiment, the contact surface between the clamping part 36 and the optical fiber to be clamped has a chamfered structure. First, one end of the optical fiber is placed on the displacement part 35 on the second moving frame 32, and then the optical fiber is placed on the displacement part 35. Then, the operator slides the clamping part 36, causing the clamping part 36 to descend and achieve the clamping state of the optical fiber. At this time, multiple optical fibers are in the clamped state, and the sliding part 33 slides. During this process, multiple displacement parts 35 can move synchronously and relatively far apart along the limiting slot 341 opened at the top of the first moving frame 31, thereby achieving equidistant distribution of the clamped optical fibers without manual operation and observation of the optical fibers. This solves the problems of low efficiency and poor uniformity of manual adjustment of optical fiber spacing, and achieves the effect of automated equidistant distribution of optical fibers through the synchronous movement of multiple displacement parts 35, significantly improving the distribution efficiency and accuracy.

[0023] See Figure 4 The distribution adjustment clamping mechanism 3 also includes a guide portion 37; the guide portion 37 has multiple parts and is respectively disposed at the bottom of the first moving frame 31 and the second moving frame 32, and the multiple guide portions 37 are all clearance-fitted with the displacement portions 35. When the sliding portion 33 moves, it can drive the multiple displacement portions 35 to move relatively far away from each other along the guide portion 37 and the limiting groove 341.

[0024] Specifically, in order to enable the multiple displacement parts 35 to move in a relatively far apart or close-to-far apart manner at equal intervals, when the sliding part 33 moves away from the first moving frame 31 or the second moving frame 32, the sliding part 33 can drive the multiple displacement parts 35 to move in a relatively far apart or close-to-far apart manner through the guide part 37 which is arranged laterally and has a clearance fit.

[0025] See Figures 3-5 The distribution adjustment clamping mechanism 3 also includes a bearing rotating part 371; the bearing rotating part 371 is rotatably disposed on the top of multiple displacement parts 35, and the multiple bearing rotating parts 371 are all located inside the limiting slot 341.

[0026] Specifically, in this embodiment, when the sliding part 33 moves and drives the displacement part 35 to move along the guide part 37, the bearing rotating part 371 provided on the top of the displacement part 35 can move in the limiting slot 341 opened on the top of the displacement plate 34, thereby enabling the bearing rotating part 371 rotatably provided on the top of the displacement part 35 to rotate and move in cooperation with the limiting slot 341 opened on the top of the first moving frame 31 and the second moving frame 32.

[0027] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 The distribution adjustment clamping mechanism 3 also includes a telescopic cylinder 38, a linear guide rail 39, a ball screw 391, and a stroke block 392; the telescopic cylinder 38 has a pair and is respectively disposed on the top of the first moving frame 31 and the second moving frame 32, and the output end of the telescopic cylinder 38 is connected to the displacement plate 34; the linear guide rail 39 is disposed on the top of the housing 1 and is located beside the linear driver; the ball screw 391 is disposed beside the linear guide rail 39, and the screw input end of the ball is connected to the linear driver; the stroke block 392 slides on the outside of the ball screw 391, and one end of the stroke block 392 is fixedly connected to the first moving frame 31.

[0028] Specifically, in order to drive the displacement plate 34 to move, thereby driving multiple displacement parts 35 and clamping parts 36 to move synchronously and equidistantly, moving away from or towards each other, the telescopic cylinder 38 is first activated. When the telescopic cylinder 38 is activated, it can drive the displacement plate 34 to move on top of the first moving frame 31 or the second moving frame 32. In one go, the bearing rotating part 371 and the displacement part 35, which are constrained by the limiting slot 341, can slide relatively closer or further away along the guide part 37. In this embodiment, after one end of the optical fiber is connected to the clamping part 36 on the second moving frame 32, the linear drive mechanism 2 is preferably a servo motor. When the linear drive is activated, it can drive the ball screw 391 to rotate. When the ball screw 391 rotates, it can drive the stroke block 392 and the first moving frame 31 to move towards the first moving frame 31. After the movement, the operator places the optical fiber at the position of the displacement part 35 on the first moving frame 31.

[0029] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 The distribution adjustment clamping mechanism 3 also includes guide posts 393 and follower parts 394; there is a pair of guide posts 393 respectively disposed at the bottom of the housing 1, and both guide posts 393 are located on the lower sides of the first moving frame 31; the follower parts 394 are disposed at the bottom of the first moving frame 31, and the follower parts 394 are in clearance fit with the pair of guide posts 393, so that when the first moving frame 31 moves, the follower parts 394 can be driven to move along the guide posts 393.

[0030] Specifically, when the second movable frame 32 moves, the following part 394 provided at the bottom of the second movable frame 32 can move synchronously through the guide column 393 installed at the bottom of the housing 1.

[0031] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 The distribution adjustment clamping mechanism 3 also includes a small air pump 395, a connecting pipe 396, a limiting part 397, and a connecting guide block 398. The small air pump 395 is located at the bottom of the following part 394. The connecting pipe 396 has multiple parts and is respectively located at the output end of the small air pump 395. The other end of the connecting pipe 396 is respectively connected to multiple displacement parts 35. When the small air pump 395 is started, the optical fiber placed on the top of the displacement part 35 can be fixed in an adsorbed state through the connecting pipe 396. The limiting part 397 has multiple parts and is respectively located on the top of the displacement part 35. The middle of each limiting part 397 is provided with a V-shaped groove for placing the optical fiber. The connecting guide block 398 is located at the bottom of the displacement plate 34. The end of the connecting guide part 397 is connected to the following part 394.

[0032] Specifically, in this embodiment, a breathable mesh is provided at the top of the displacement part 35, and this mesh is connected to the air intake end of the connecting pipe 396. When the small air pump 395 is started, it generates an adsorption force through the connecting pipe 396, causing the optical fiber to be adsorbed to the bottom of the V-shaped groove of the limiting part 397. When the operator places the optical fiber, they only need to place the optical fiber in the V-shaped groove, without needing to precisely align it to the center of the groove bottom. At this time, the small air pump 395 draws air through the connecting pipe 396, and the optical fiber slides along the two side walls of the V-shaped groove and is quickly adsorbed between the limiting part 397 and the displacement part 35. It should be noted that the breathable mesh at the top of the displacement part 35 can prevent the optical fiber from being over-adsorbed. To ensure that the connecting pipe 396 moves synchronously with the second moving frame 32 and the displacement part 35, when the second moving frame 32 moves, it drives the following part 394 and the connecting guide block 398 to move synchronously. Since the connecting guide block 398 is fixedly connected to the connecting pipe 396, it can drive the connecting pipe 396 to move synchronously, thereby ensuring the normal use of the connecting pipe 396.

[0033] See Figure 5and Figure 6 The distribution adjustment clamping mechanism 3 also includes a mounting plate 399, a pull rod 3901, and a return spring 3902; the mounting plate 399 has multiple parts and is respectively disposed on the top of the limiting part 397; the pull rod 3901 has multiple parts and is respectively disposed on both sides of the clamping part 36; the return spring 3902 has multiple parts and is respectively sleeved on the outside of the clamping part 36, one end of the return spring 3902 is fixed to the mounting plate 399, and the other end of the return spring 3902 is fixed to the pull rod 3901.

[0034] Specifically, when the optical fiber is in the position of being attracted by the small air pump 395 to the displacement part 35 and the air-permeable mesh, the operator should first pull the pull rod 3901 and raise the clamping part 36. At this time, the return spring 3902 is in a compressed state. After the optical fiber is attracted, the operator releases the pull rod 3901. At this time, the return spring 3902 can push the pull rod 3901 and the clamping part 36 to descend, so that the clamping part 36 can achieve secondary contact and fixation of the attracted optical fiber.

[0035] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
