[0002] With the rapid development of network technology, technologies such as data center interconnection, fiber optic sensing, and next-generation fiber optics are advancing rapidly, and various network applications are constantly being upgraded. Among these, ultra-high capacity, ultra-high speed, and ultra-long distance optical transmission networks will become an essential requirement for data center construction. In building optical transmission networks, fiber optic patch cords are frequently used in communication equipment rooms, fiber-to-the-home (FTTH), local area networks (LANs), fiber optic sensors, fiber optic communication systems, fiber optic access networks, fiber optic data transmission, and other LAN applications.

[0003] Glue injection assembly is an important process step in the manufacture of fiber optic patch cords. When assembling connectors, high-temperature tubes need to be placed in tooling to facilitate subsequent assembly. Currently, high-temperature tubes need to be placed in tooling one by one manually, which is inefficient and has high labor costs. Utility Model Content

[0024] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is an exploded structural diagram of an embodiment of the tooling assembly 10 for assembling patch cord optical fibers provided in this application. The tooling assembly 10 in this embodiment includes a jig 11 and a tooling 12.

[0025] The fixture 11 has a fixture groove 101 and a plurality of first fixture holes 102 that are respectively connected to the fixture groove 101. For example, in this embodiment, the number of first fixture holes 102 is 25×10=250.

[0026] Please refer to the following: Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the exploded structure of fixture 11. Figure 3 yes Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the cross-section of the central fixture 11 in the FF direction. Figure 4 yes Figure 3The enlarged schematic diagram of part M shows that the jig groove 101 is used to accommodate multiple objects to be assembled, so that the multiple objects to be assembled fall from the jig groove 101 into multiple first jig holes 102 respectively.

[0027] Optionally, the diameter of the first fixture hole 102 gradually increases in the direction toward the fixture groove 101.

[0028] Specifically, the first fixture hole 102 includes a first hole segment 1021 and a second hole segment 1022. The first hole segment 1021 is connected to the fixture groove 101 and the second hole segment 1022 respectively. The diameter of the first hole segment 1021 gradually increases in the direction toward the fixture groove 101, while the diameter of the second hole segment 1022 remains unchanged in the direction toward the fixture groove 101.

[0029] In practical applications, the operator places multiple objects to be assembled into the fixture slot 101. In this embodiment, the objects to be assembled are high-temperature tubes. After placement, the operator shakes the fixture 11 with both hands, and the multiple objects to be assembled will fall into the first hole section 1021 under the action of gravity and be placed at an angle.

[0030] Furthermore, the fixture 11 includes a first fixture body 111 and a second fixture body 112. The first fixture body 111 has a fixture groove 101 and a plurality of first fixture holes 102. The second fixture body 112 is slidably connected to the first fixture body 111 on the side of the first fixture body 111 away from the fixture groove 101. The second fixture body 112 has a plurality of second fixture holes 103 that are respectively connected to a plurality of second hole segments 1022.

[0031] Optionally, the first fixture body 111 includes a first fixture main body 1111 and a second fixture main body 1112. The second fixture main body 1112 has a plurality of first fixture holes 102 and is slidably connected to the second fixture main body 112. The first fixture main body 1111 is disposed on the side of the second fixture main body 1112 away from the second fixture main body 112 and together with the second fixture main body 1112 forms a fixture groove 101.

[0032] Furthermore, the fixture 11 in this embodiment also includes a connector 113. One of the first fixture body 111 and the second fixture body 112 is provided with a guide groove 104. In this embodiment, taking the second fixture body 112 as an example, the other of the first fixture body 111 and the second fixture body 112 is connected to the connector 113. In this embodiment, taking the second fixture body 1112 of the first fixture body 111 as an example, the connector 113 passes through the guide groove 104 so that the first fixture body 111 and the second fixture body 112 can slide relative to each other along the extension direction of the guide groove 104.

[0033] Optionally, in this embodiment, the connector 113 is connected to the first fixture body 111 and passes through the first fixture body 111 and extends into the fixture slot 101.

[0034] Specifically, the connector 113 includes a connecting body 1131 and a limiting body 1132. The connecting body 1131 is connected to the first fixture body 111 and passes through the first fixture body 111 and extends into the fixture groove 101. The limiting body 1132 is connected to the connecting body 1131 and is disposed in the guide groove 104.

[0035] The tooling 12 has a plurality of tooling holes 105. For example, in this embodiment, the number of tooling holes 105 is 25 × 10 = 250. The tooling 12 is used to dock with the fixture 11 so that multiple objects to be assembled fall from multiple first fixture holes 102 into multiple tooling holes 105 for subsequent assembly. Compared with the prior art, it is not necessary to manually place each object to be assembled into the tooling 12, thereby improving assembly efficiency and reducing labor costs.

[0036] Specifically, in practical applications, when multiple objects to be assembled are placed obliquely in the first hole section 1021 as described above, the operator can connect the tooling 12 with the fixture 11, and pull out the second fixture body 1112 and the second fixture body 112 so that the objects to be assembled are placed and inserted into the second hole section 1022. Then, the entire tooling assembly 10 is flipped so that the tooling 12 is located below the fixture 11. At this time, the objects to be assembled will fall into the tooling hole 105 under the action of gravity. Finally, the tooling 12 and the fixture 11 can be separated for subsequent assembly.

[0037] The tooling 12 is also provided with a positioning hole 121, which is used to cooperate with the connector 113 when the tooling 12 is docked with the first fixture body 111.

[0038] Optionally, there may be multiple connectors 113 and positioning holes 121. For example, in this embodiment, there are four connectors 113 and four positioning holes 121, which are located at the four corners.

[0039] Unlike existing technologies, the tooling assembly provided in this application includes: a fixture having a fixture groove and a plurality of first fixture holes respectively communicating with the fixture groove, the fixture groove being used to accommodate a plurality of objects to be assembled, such that the plurality of objects to be assembled fall from the fixture groove into the plurality of first fixture holes respectively; and a tooling having a plurality of tooling holes, the tooling being used to dock with the fixture, such that the plurality of objects to be assembled fall from the plurality of first fixture holes into the plurality of tooling holes respectively, for subsequent assembly. Compared with existing technologies, it eliminates the need for manual placement of each object to be assembled into the tooling, thereby improving assembly efficiency and reducing labor costs.

Any equivalent device or equivalent process transformation made based on the content of this application specification and drawings, or directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields, are similarly included within the scope of patent protection of this application.
