Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of optical fiber winding technology, and in particular relates to an optical fiber winding device with tension monitoring. Background Technology

[0002] Fiber optic winding is a crucial process in fiber optic production, primarily involving encasing the fiber in a protective layer to form the foundation of fiber optic cables. The entire winding process requires precise equipment and technology to ensure the fiber's quality and performance meet stringent communication standards. In practice, the precision of the winding machine, the stability of the control system, and the temperature and humidity control of the production environment all directly impact the quality of the fiber.

[0003] Currently, traditional optical fiber winding equipment has certain limitations in tension control. Due to the lack of effective tension monitoring methods, tension fluctuations during the optical fiber winding process are difficult to detect and adjust in a timely manner. When the tension is too high, it may damage the optical fiber and affect its transmission performance; while when the tension is too low, it may result in loose winding, which will also affect the quality of the optical fiber cable.

[0004] In summary, this application proposes an optical fiber winding device with tension monitoring. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an optical fiber winding device with tension monitoring to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an optical fiber winding device with tension monitoring, comprising a housing, an interior cavity containing a cylindrical body, two tubes symmetrically passing through both ends of the cylindrical body, the tubes penetrating the side wall of the housing, and through-tubes symmetrically passing through the ends of the two tubes, with an optical fiber body passing through the through-tubes of the two tubes, and symmetrically positioned limiting plates on both sides of the optical fiber body between the two tubes, with a tension sensor positioned on one side of the limiting plate on the optical fiber body, and the tension sensor electrically connected to a display terminal.

[0007] Preferably, the cavity has a plurality of support rods located on the bottom surface of the cylinder, and the plurality of support rods are distributed at equal intervals.

[0008] Preferably, the side wall of the cylinder is provided with a plurality of through holes, which are distributed circumferentially.

[0009] Preferably, symmetrical slots are provided between the opposite surfaces of the two tubes, and the limiting plate is connected to the slots.

[0010] Preferably, the side wall of the tube is provided with a threaded portion, which is threadedly connected to the cylinder.

[0011] Preferably, the top surface of the cavity is provided with a cover plate, and the cover plate is fixed to the housing by screws.

[0012] This utility model has at least the following beneficial effects: (1) This utility model provides an optical fiber winding device with tension monitoring. By setting a tension sensor on one side of the limiting plate located on the main body of the optical fiber, and the tension sensor is electrically connected to a display terminal, it can monitor the tension during the optical fiber winding process in real time and accurately display the tension data on the display terminal. Thus, the tension information can be obtained in a timely manner. When the tension fluctuation is found to be outside the normal range, the device can be quickly adjusted. This effectively avoids damage to the optical fiber caused by excessive tension, which affects the optical fiber transmission performance, or the problem of loose winding and loosening of the optical fiber due to insufficient tension, which affects the quality of the optical fiber cable. (2) This utility model provides an optical fiber winding device with tension monitoring. Several through holes distributed circumferentially on the side wall of the cylinder are beneficial for heat dissipation during the winding process. (3) This utility model provides an optical fiber winding device with tension monitoring, in which the symmetrical slots between the opposite surfaces of the two tubes are connected with the limiting plate, and the threaded part of the tube side wall is connected with the threaded part of the cylinder, so that the assembly and disassembly are more convenient and quick.

[0015] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0016] Example Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 This utility model provides a technical solution: an optical fiber winding device with tension monitoring, including a housing 1, a cavity 2 inside the housing 1, a cylinder 4 inside the cavity 2, two tubes 5 symmetrically passing through both ends of the cylinder 4, the tubes 5 penetrating the side wall of the housing 1, specifically, the tubes 5 are slidably connected to the housing 1, the ends of the two tubes 5 are symmetrically connected with through pipes 6, an optical fiber body 7 is passed through the through pipes 6 of the two tubes 5, and limiting plates 9 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the optical fiber body 7 between the two tubes 5, a tension sensor is arranged on one side of the limiting plate 9 of the optical fiber body 7, and the tension sensor is electrically connected to a display terminal.

[0017] In this embodiment, the optical fiber body 7 is connected to both ends with winding components. These winding components include, but are not limited to, a motor-driven winding disc and a guide wheel structure for guiding the optical fiber. The motor drives the winding disc to rotate, causing the optical fiber body 7 to be wound in an orderly manner between the cylinder 4 and the tube 5. The guide wheel structure ensures that the optical fiber maintains a stable path during the winding process, preventing deviation or entanglement. Simultaneously, a tension sensor on the limiting plate 9 monitors the tension changes during the optical fiber winding process in real time and transmits the data to a display terminal. Operators can adjust the winding parameters promptly based on the data on the display terminal to ensure the quality of the optical fiber winding. In addition, tension sensors can be of various types, such as strain gauge tension sensors and piezoelectric tension sensors, which can be flexibly selected according to actual usage requirements and accuracy requirements. These tension sensors have the characteristics of high precision and high sensitivity, and can accurately capture subtle changes in tension during the fiber winding process, providing operators with reliable monitoring data. When the tension sensor detects that the tension value exceeds the preset range, the display terminal will immediately issue an alarm signal to remind the operator to handle it in time. The operator can adjust the winding speed and change the tension control parameters of the winding spool according to the alarm information to restore the tension to the normal range, thereby effectively avoiding problems such as fiber damage or loose winding caused by abnormal tension. Meanwhile, the equipment also has data storage and analysis functions; the display terminal can record and store tension data in each winding process, which facilitates subsequent traceability and analysis of the production process; by analyzing a large amount of tension data, the key factors affecting the quality of optical fiber winding can be identified, and the winding process and equipment parameters can be further optimized to improve the stability and consistency of optical fiber production. During the winding process, the optical fiber body 7 slides, is limited, and guided by the through-tube 6 of the tube body 5.

[0020] Furthermore, the side wall of the cylinder 4 is provided with several through holes 12, which are distributed in a circular interval.

[0021] In this embodiment, the through hole 12 facilitates air circulation inside the cavity 2, maintaining a suitable production environment temperature.

[0022] Furthermore, symmetrical slots 8 are provided between the opposite surfaces of the two tubes 5, and the limiting plate 9 is connected to the slots 8.

[0025] In this embodiment, the tube body 5 is slidably connected to the box body 1, and the tube body 5 is threadedly connected to the cylinder body 4, which not only allows for fixation but also facilitates disassembly and opening.

[0026] Furthermore, the top surface of the cavity 2 is provided with a cover plate 11, which is fixed to the box 1 by screws.
