Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of fiber optic ring fusion splice test benches, specifically a fiber optic ring fusion splice test bench that can be quickly positioned. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of information technology, fiber optic communication technology, as a crucial infrastructure for modern communication, has been widely applied in telecommunications, the internet, broadcasting, and other fields. Fiber optic networks offer advantages such as high transmission speed, high bandwidth, and strong anti-interference capabilities, making them a core carrier supporting the development of technologies like big data, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things. However, in the construction and maintenance of fiber optic communication systems, the quality of fiber connections and splices directly affects system stability and signal transmission quality. Therefore, precise fiber positioning and splice testing are essential to ensure the quality and stability of fiber connections.

[0003] Fiber optic fusion splicing is a technique that fuses the end faces of two optical fibers together by heating and stretching them. In the manufacturing, installation, and maintenance of optical fibers, precise fiber optic fusion splicing can minimize connection loss and ensure signal transmission quality. The fiber optic fusion splicing process typically requires high-precision operation and equipment, including steps such as fiber clamping, positioning, and mating.

[0004] However, traditional fiber optic fusion splicing equipment typically relies on manual operation, making it difficult to guarantee the accuracy of fiber positioning and clamping, and resulting in low efficiency. This is especially true when testing ring fibers, where precise positioning and automated operation become particularly complex and crucial.

[0005] Therefore, based on the above-mentioned technical problems, it is necessary for those skilled in the art to develop a fiber optic ring splice test station that can be quickly positioned. Utility Model Content

[0016] The features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of this utility model will now be described in detail. To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, will provide a further detailed description. For those skilled in the art, this utility model can be implemented without some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is merely intended to provide a better understanding of this utility model by illustrating examples.

[0017] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution for a fiber optic ring splice test bench that can be quickly positioned: it includes a base 1, which serves as the supporting foundation for the entire test bench and is fixedly connected to the frame 21 by bolts to ensure that the frame remains stable during the test.

[0018] The front and rear adjustment motor 22 is bolted to the frame 21, and its output end is connected to the front and rear adjustment screw 23 via a coupling. Both ends of the front and rear adjustment screw 23 are rotatably connected to the frame 21 via bearings, ensuring smooth rotation of the screw. The front and rear nut seats 24 are threaded onto the front and rear adjustment screw 23; when the screw rotates, the nut seats move axially along the screw. The front and rear nut seats 24 are bolted to the front and rear moving seat 25. The bottom of the front and rear moving seat 25 is equipped with a guide rail that slides in cooperation with the frame 21. The guide rail extends in the front-rear direction to limit the movement trajectory of the front and rear moving seat 25, ensuring it can only move in the front-rear direction.

[0019] An L-shaped frame 26 is fixedly installed on the front and rear movable seat 25. A lifting adjustment motor 31 is bolted to the vertical section of the L-shaped frame 26. The output end of the lifting adjustment motor 31 is connected to the lifting screw 32 via a coupling. The axis of the lifting screw 32 is vertical, and its two ends are rotatably connected to the vertical section of the L-shaped frame 26 via bearings. A lifting nut seat 33 is threaded onto the lifting screw 32. When the lifting screw 32 rotates, the lifting nut seat 33 will rise and fall along the screw axis. The connecting rod 34 and the lifting nut seat 33 are integrally formed, and the extension direction of the connecting rod 34 is parallel to the horizontal direction. A rotary cylinder 35 is bolted to the other end of the connecting rod 34.

[0020] The output end of the rotary cylinder 35 is fixedly connected to the clamping cylinder 36 by bolts. The output end of the clamping cylinder 36 is symmetrically provided with clamping claws 37 for clamping the fiber optic ring. There are two clamping claws 37, which are arranged opposite to each other. The clamping surface of the clamping claw 37 is provided with an arc-shaped groove. The inner wall of the arc-shaped groove is attached with an anti-slip rubber pad to increase the friction when clamping the fiber optic ring and prevent the fiber optic ring from slipping.

[0021] A front vision camera 38 is bolted to the horizontal section of the L-shaped frame 26. The lens of the front vision camera 38 faces the clamping area of ​​the gripper 37 and is used to acquire images of the fiber optic ring's position. A side vision camera 39 is bolted to one side of the frame 21. The lens of the side vision camera 39 is set at a 90° angle to the lens of the front vision camera 38 and is used to acquire images of the side position of the fiber optic ring. Both the front vision camera 38 and the side vision camera 39 are electrically connected to an external control system via data cables, transmitting the acquired image information to the control system for analysis and processing.

[0022] Connect the power supply and start the front and rear adjustment motor 22, the lifting adjustment motor 31, the rotary cylinder 35, the clamp cylinder 36, the front vision camera 38, and the side vision camera 39 to put the equipment into standby mode.

[0023] Place the fiber optic ring to be spliced ​​into the clamping area of ​​the clamp 37, ensuring that the fiber optic ring is roughly in the correct position.

[0024] The front-to-back adjustment motor 22 starts, driving the front-to-back adjustment screw 23 to rotate, causing the front-to-back nut seats 24 and the front-to-back moving seat 25 to move in the front-to-back direction, initially adjusting the front-to-back position of the gripper 37. At the same time, the lifting adjustment motor 31 starts, driving the lifting screw 32 to rotate, causing the lifting nut seat 33 and the connecting rod 34 to rise and fall, initially adjusting the lifting position of the gripper 37.

[0025] The front vision camera 38 and the side vision camera 39 begin acquiring position images of the fiber optic ring and transmit the image information to the external control system. The control system analyzes and processes the images, calculates the deviation between the actual position and the set position of the fiber optic ring, and then controls the front and rear adjustment motor 22 and the lifting adjustment motor 31 to make fine adjustments based on the deviation value, so as to achieve millimeter-level precise positioning of the fiber optic ring by the gripper 37.

[0026] If it is necessary to adjust the splice angle of the fiber optic ring, the rotary cylinder 35 is started, which drives the clamp cylinder 36 and the jaws 37 to rotate 0° - 360° along the horizontal axis, adjusting the fiber optic ring to the appropriate splice angle.

[0027] The clamp cylinder 36 is activated, causing the two grippers 37 to move relative to each other, clamping the fiber optic ring and ensuring that the fiber optic ring remains stable during the fusion splicing test.

[0028] After completing the above positioning and clamping operations, the fiber optic ring fusion splicing test can be carried out.

[0029] After the fusion splice test is completed, the clamp cylinder 36 releases the clamp 37, removes the fiber optic ring, and the equipment enters standby mode, waiting for the next test.

[0030] The working principle and usage process of this utility model: After assembling the various components of this solution in sequence, work according to the above implementation methods according to actual needs to complete all working steps.
