Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of laser processing technology, and in particular to a laser connector wiping device. Background Technology

[0002] Laser connectors are key optical interface components in laser systems. Their core function is to transmit laser beams efficiently and stably, and they are commonly used in industrial laser processing and optical communication technologies.

[0003] Before installing existing laser components, workers need to remove the laser connector and wipe the dust off its lens before connecting it to the optical fiber. However, laser components are usually installed in batches, which requires workers to frequently pick up and wipe the laser connector, resulting in repetitive work and increased workload. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned shortcomings by providing a laser connector wiping device that can collect and wipe laser connectors simultaneously, reducing repetitive work and lowering workload.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a laser connector wiping device, comprising: a placement box and a wiping component; The placement box is vertically slidably provided with a support plate, which has multiple placement openings evenly distributed on the plate for placing the connectors; An elastic unit is provided between the support plate and the placement box to apply a vertically upward elastic force to the support plate; The wiping component includes a conveying assembly disposed within the placement box and a wiping strip disposed thereon; The wiping strip is positioned below the support plate; The conveying assembly is used to move the wiping strip relative to the carrier plate so that the wiping strip wipes the joint.

[0006] Furthermore, the conveying assembly includes two drive rollers symmetrically distributed within the placement box and rotatably connected thereto, and a first power unit; The wiping strip is wound around each of the drive rollers, and each of the drive rollers is used to drive the wiping strip to rotate in the direction of rotation. The first power unit is disposed on the placement box and connected to one of the transmission rollers for driving its rotation.

[0007] Furthermore, the placement box is equipped with a tapping component, including a cleaning frame and a second power unit; The cleaning rack is positioned below the wiping strip and can be detachably contacted therein, and is used to tap the wiping surface of the wiping strip; The second power unit is mounted on the placement box and connected to the cleaning rack to drive its rotation.

[0008] Furthermore, the placement box is symmetrically provided with two cleaning racks; The tapping component also includes a timing belt assembly disposed in the placement box and connected to each of the cleaning racks respectively; The second power unit drives each of the cleaning frames to rotate synchronously via the synchronous belt assembly.

[0009] Furthermore, each cleaning frame has a chamber, and each cleaning frame's striking end has a through hole communicating with the chamber. The placement box is equipped with a negative pressure component, including a negative pressure pipe, a collection box, a fan, and a filter screen located on one side of the placement box; The negative pressure pipe is connected to the chamber of each of the cleaning racks; The collection box is connected to the negative pressure pipe and is used to collect impurities; The fan is mounted on the collection box and is used to guide impurities in the placement box into the collection box through the negative pressure pipe. The filter screen is positioned between the fan and the collection box to prevent impurities from being blown out of the collection box along with the airflow.

[0010] Furthermore, each of the placement ports is detachably provided with a limiting ring to constrain the movement of the connector.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are reflected in: In this invention, after each connector is placed on the carrier plate through the corresponding placement port, the conveying component drives the wiping strip to move relative to each connector. At the same time, the operator presses down on the carrier plate to make the lens end of each connector contact the wiping strip, thereby wiping each connector uniformly. After wiping is completed, the operator releases the carrier plate to separate each connector from the wiping strip. This eliminates the need for the operator to wipe each connector individually, reducing repetitive work and lowering workload. Attached Figure Description

[0014] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. 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.

[0015] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model discloses a laser connector wiping device, comprising: a placement box 1 and a wiping component 2; The placement box 1 is vertically slidably provided with a support plate 11, which has multiple placement openings for placing connectors evenly distributed on the plate; An elastic unit 12 is provided between the support plate 11 and the placement box 1 to apply a vertically upward elastic force to the support plate 11; The wiping component 2 includes a conveying assembly 21 disposed in the placement box 1 and a wiping strip 22 disposed thereon; The wiping strip 22 is positioned below the support plate 11; The conveying assembly 21 is used to move the wiping strip 22 relative to the carrier plate 11 so that the wiping strip 22 wipes the joint.

[0016] In practice, the staff inserts the lens end of the laser connector into the placement port until all connectors of the same batch are inserted into the carrier plate 11. Then, the conveying component 21 moves the wiping strip 22, and the staff presses down the carrier plate 11 so that the lens end of each connector contacts the wiping strip 22. The elastic unit 12 is compressed, and the wiping strip 22 wipes each connector. After wiping, the staff releases the carrier plate 11. At this time, the elastic unit 12 loses its constraint and moves the carrier plate 11 vertically upward, thereby separating each connector from the wiping strip 22. This avoids the wiping strip 22 from being in long-term contact with the connector and damaging the lens coating. The connector does not need to be wiped when it is picked up later.

[0017] In this invention, after each connector is placed on the support plate 11 through the corresponding placement port, the conveying component 21 drives the wiping strip 22 to move relative to each connector. At the same time, the operator presses down on the support plate 11 so that the lens end of each connector contacts the wiping strip 22, thereby wiping each connector uniformly. After wiping is completed, the operator releases the support plate 11 to separate each connector from the wiping strip 22. This eliminates the need for the operator to wipe each connector individually, reducing repetitive work and lowering workload.

[0018] It should be noted that the wiping end of the wiping strip 22 can be a long, soft-bristled brush as is available in the prior art.

[0019] In one embodiment, the conveying assembly 21 includes two drive rollers 211 symmetrically distributed within and rotatably connected to the placement box 1; The wiping strip 22 is wound around each drive roller 211. When each drive roller 211 rotates, it drives the wiping strip 22 to rotate in the direction of its rotation. The placement box 1 is equipped with a first power unit 212, the moving end of which is connected to one of the transmission rollers 211 to drive its rotation.

[0020] With this design, when the joint needs to be cleaned, the first power unit 212 drives the corresponding transmission roller 211 to rotate, and under the action of the wiping strip 22, it mobilizes another transmission roller 211 to rotate synchronously, while driving the wiping strip 22 to rotate around the transmission roller 211 in the same direction, so that the wiping strip 22 moves relative to the joint and wipes it.

[0021] Preferably, the first power unit 212 can be a motor from the prior art.

[0022] In one embodiment, the placement box 1 is provided with a tapping component 3, including a cleaning frame 31 and a second power unit 32; The cleaning frame 31 consists of a transmission rod 311 rotatably inserted into the placement box 1 and a plurality of circumferentially distributed flaps 312; The transmission rod 311 is located below the wiping strip 22 and is used to drive the patting rod 312 to rotate; Each handle 312 can be detachably contacted with the wiping strip 22 to tap the wiping surface of the wiping strip 22; The second power unit 32 is mounted on the placement box 1 and connected to the transmission rod 311 to drive its rotation.

[0023] With this design, after the wiping strip 22 finishes wiping the joint, the wiping strip 22 continues to rotate in the direction of the rotation of the transmission roller 211 to move closer to the cleaning frame 31. At this time, the second power unit 32 drives each beater 312 to rotate through the transmission rod 311, so that each beater 312 periodically beats the wiping surface of the wiping strip 22, thereby knocking off the dust and impurities attached to the wiping strip 22.

[0024] In one embodiment, the placement box 1 is symmetrically provided with two cleaning racks 31; The striking component 3 also includes a synchronous belt 332 assembly 33 disposed in the placement box 1 and connected to each transmission rod 311 respectively; The second power unit 32 drives each transmission rod 311 to rotate synchronously through the synchronous belt 332 assembly 33, so as to further improve the cleaning efficiency of the wiping strip 22.

[0025] It should be noted that the synchronous belt 332 assembly 33 includes two synchronous pulleys 331 respectively disposed on two transmission rods 311 and a synchronous belt 332 connecting the two synchronous pulleys 331. When the second power unit 32 drives the corresponding transmission rod 311 to rotate, the synchronous pulley 331 disposed on it drives the corresponding synchronous pulley 331 on the other transmission rod 311 to rotate through the synchronous belt 332, thereby realizing the synchronous rotation of the two transmission rods 311.

[0026] In one embodiment, each transmission rod 311 and each flapper 312 is provided with a cavity, and the cavity of each transmission rod 311 is connected to the cavity of the corresponding flapper 312, thereby forming a chamber 313 in each cleaning frame 31. Each flapper 312 is also provided with a through hole that communicates with the corresponding second cavity. The placement box 1 is equipped with a negative pressure component 4, including a negative pressure pipe 41 disposed on one side of the placement box 1, which is connected to the chamber 313 of each cleaning rack 31; The placement box 1 has a collection box 42 connected to the negative pressure pipe 41 on one side for collecting dust and impurities; The placement box 1 is equipped with a fan 43, which is used to guide the airflow in the placement box 1 into the negative pressure pipe 41 and flow into the collection box 42; A filter screen (not shown in the figure) is also provided between the fan 43 and the collection box 42 to prevent impurities from being blown out of the collection box 42 with the airflow.

[0027] With this design, when each cleaning rack 31 taps the wiping strip 22, the fan 43 operates and draws the airflow from the placement box 1 into the chamber 313 through each through hole. Then, it is guided to the collection box 42 through the negative pressure pipe 41. At the same time, the dust and impurities scattered by each tapping rod 312 enter the collection box 42 along with the airflow to reduce the re-adhesion of dust and impurities onto the wiping strip 22. At this time, the filter screen separates the dust and impurities in the collection box 42 for subsequent processing by the staff.

[0028] It should be noted that the collection box 42 has a rotating opening and closing plate on one side, which makes it easier for staff to open and close the collection box 42, thereby making it easier for staff to handle the collected dust and impurities and clean the filter.

[0029] In one embodiment, each placement port is provided with a detachable limiting ring 5, which is made of elastic material and is used to restrain the movement of the connector.

[0030] With this design, when the connector is inserted into the corresponding placement port, the connector squeezes the corresponding limiting ring 5 to cause it to undergo elastic deformation, thereby constraining the connector and improving the stability when placing the connector. When it is necessary to constrain connectors of different specifications, the staff can simply replace the limiting ring 5 on the corresponding placement port.

[0031] Preferably, the limiting ring 5 can be a silicone sleeve as used in the prior art.

[0032] It should be noted that the friction between each limiting ring 5 and the bearing plate 11 is greater than the friction between the limiting ring 5 and the connector, making it difficult for workers to accidentally pull the limiting ring 5 out of the corresponding placement opening when removing the connector.

[0033] It should be noted that if the embodiments of this utility model involve directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indicators are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.

[0034] Furthermore, if the embodiments of this utility model involve descriptions such as "first" or "second," these descriptions are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, features defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. If the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.

[0035] Additionally, "multiple" refers to two or more.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
