Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of optical fiber processing technology, and more specifically, relates to a ceramic ferrule plotting fixture. Background Technology

[0002] In the manufacturing and assembly of fiber optic connectors, the ceramic ferrule, as the core component of the optical fiber, has a significant impact on the optical performance of the product due to the accuracy of its end-face orientation and the angle of its internal polarization-maintaining structure. To ensure the accuracy of subsequent fiber splicing, assembly, and testing, calibration is usually performed on the outer surface of the ceramic ferrule to indicate the preset angle or polarization-maintaining direction of the ferrule.

[0003] However, in existing technologies, ceramic ferrules often lack convenient and precise calibration structures during clamping or angle adjustment. Operators typically need to rely on external fixtures or visual inspection for position adjustment and marking, resulting in low calibration accuracy, inconvenient operation, and a tendency to deviate after repeated adjustments. Furthermore, most existing clamping structures lack the functionality to integrate with calibration operations, failing to achieve rapid locking and stable marking when the ferrule reaches the target position, thus affecting production efficiency and consistency.

[0020] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 9 The ceramic ferrule plotting fixture provided in the embodiments of this application will now be described.

[0021] A ceramic insert marking fixture includes a fixed base 10, an adjusting member 20, a first locking member 30, and a second locking member 40.

[0022] Specifically, the fixing base 10 includes a first adapter portion 11 and a second adapter portion 12 arranged at intervals along the horizontal direction. The first adapter portion 11 is provided with a positioning portion 13 extending horizontally, and the positioning portion 13 is provided with a marking hole 14. The second adapter portion 12 is provided with a first locking hole 15.

[0023] The adjusting member 20 is rotatably connected to the first adapter 11 and the second adapter 12. The adjusting member 20 is provided with a second locking hole 21 and a fixing structure 22 adapted to the ceramic ferrule 60. The fixing structure 22 is used to install the ceramic ferrule 60.

[0024] The first locking member 30 is threaded into the first locking hole 15 and is used to lock the adjusting member 20 when the ceramic ferrule 60 is adjusted to a preset position. The second locking member 40 is used to lock the ceramic ferrule 60 when it is installed in the slot.

[0025] When the ceramic insert 60 is adjusted to the preset position, a marker is used to mark the mark point 62 on the ceramic insert 60 through the marking hole 14. The interior of the ceramic insert 60 has two circular cat's-eyes 61, as shown... Figure 1 As shown, when the centers of the two cat's eyes 61 are adjusted to be spaced horizontally, as... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the ceramic insert 60 is located in a preset position.

[0026] In this application, the observation of the cat's eye 61 is confirmed by an industrial camera and a display screen. When the ceramic ferrule 60 is installed on the adjusting member 20, the image information of the cat's eye 61 inside the ceramic ferrule 60 is acquired by the industrial camera and transmitted to the display screen so that the operator can adjust the ceramic ferrule 60 to the preset position by adjusting member 20.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the ceramic ferrule marking fixture provided in this application, by setting a first adapter 11 with a marking hole 14 and a second adapter 12 with a first locking hole 15, and rotatably connecting the two with an adjusting member 20, enables the ceramic ferrule 60 to achieve angle adjustment and positioning after being installed on the fixed structure 22. When the ceramic ferrule 60 is adjusted to the preset position, the operator can directly mark the ferrule through the marking hole 14, which is simple to operate and accurate in positioning. At the same time, the setting of the first locking member 30 and the second locking member 40 can reliably fix the adjusting member 20 and the ceramic ferrule 60 after calibration, preventing them from shifting in subsequent processes.

[0028] In this application, the adjusting member 20 includes a third adapter 23, a connecting part 24, and a fourth adapter 25.

[0029] Specifically, one end of the connecting part 24 is connected to the third adapter part 23, and the other end is connected to the fourth adapter part 25. The first adapter part 11 is provided with a first adapter hole 111, and the third adapter part 23 is rotatably connected to the first adapter hole 111. The second adapter part 12 is provided with a second adapter hole 121, and the fourth adapter part 25 is rotatably connected to the second adapter hole 121. In this application, the second locking hole 21 is provided in the fourth adapter part 25.

[0030] With the above structure, the adjusting member 20 can be angled with the fixed base 10 as the fulcrum, thereby driving the ceramic ferrule 60 installed on it to adjust its angle. Simultaneously, after the ceramic ferrule 60 is adjusted to the preset angle, the operator can tighten the first locking member 30 to lock the adjusting member 20 relative to the fixed base 10, preventing the adjusting member 20 from shifting position during the plotting process. The second locking member 40 can be tightened after the ceramic ferrule 60 is installed to prevent the ceramic ferrule 60 from loosening or rotating in subsequent operations, thus ensuring the accuracy of the plotting of the ceramic ferrule 60.

[0031] The connecting part 24 is provided with a bearing end face 241, which passes through the central axis of the connecting part 24. The fourth transition part 25 is provided with a relief groove 251. Along the circumference of the fourth transition part 25, the length of the relief groove 251 is less than the circumference of the fourth transition part 25. When the ceramic ferrule 60 is in the preset position, the position of the relief groove 251 corresponds to the position of the marking hole 14, so that the operator can mark the ceramic ferrule 60 with a marker.

[0032] The fixing structure 22 includes a mounting hole 221 and a receiving groove 222. The mounting hole 221 is located in the fourth adapter 25, and the receiving groove 222 is located in the bearing end face 241. The mounting hole 221 and the receiving groove 222 communicate with each other. The ceramic ferrule 60 can be inserted into the receiving groove 222 through the mounting hole 221 to achieve stable positioning.

[0033] In this application, the ceramic ferrule 60 marking fixture also includes a lever 26. The lever 26 is connected to the portion of the third adapter 23 that extends to the outside of the first adapter hole 111. The operator can rotate the adjusting member 20 by rotating the lever to quickly adjust the angle of the ceramic ferrule 60.

[0034] In this application, the diameter of the tracing hole 14 gradually decreases along the axial direction of the tracing hole 14, and the diameter of the end of the tracing hole 14 near the ceramic insert 60 is smaller than the diameter of the end of the tracing hole 14 away from the ceramic insert 60 so that the guide hole can guide the tip of the marker pen and make the tracing position more accurate.

[0035] In this application, the ceramic insert 60 marking fixture also includes a fixing block 50.

[0036] The fixing block 50 is connected to the side of the second adapter 12 away from the first adapter 11, and is used to abut against the ceramic ferrule 60 when the ceramic ferrule 60 is installed in the fixing structure 22, so as to enhance the stability of the ceramic ferrule 60 and prevent the ceramic ferrule 60 from shaking during the plotting process.

[0037] The working principle of the ceramic ferrule 60-point plotting fixture provided in this application is as follows: First, the ceramic insert 60 is inserted into the fixing structure 22 of the adjusting member 20 and initially locked by the second locking member 40. Then, the operator can manually rotate the adjusting member 20 using a lever to bring the ceramic insert 60 to the desired preset angle. Once the ceramic insert 60 is adjusted to the preset position, the first locking member 30 is tightened to secure the adjusting member 20. Finally, a precise mark is formed on the surface of the ceramic insert 60 by passing a marker through the marking hole 14 on the first adapter 11.

[0038] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
