Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of optical fiber cooling tube cleaning, specifically, it relates to an optical fiber cooling tube cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] In optical fiber drawing production, cooling tubes are essential equipment. When fiber breaks or drawing is completed, fiber residue remains in the cooling tube, requiring manual removal. Occasionally, fiber fragments may remain inside. In such cases, a pull rope, with one end tied to cloth, is used to pull the tube several times to remove the fragments. Even if no fragments are found, the tube still needs to be cleaned. Because cooling tubes are often long and span several floors, workers must climb stairs to perform this task, increasing manpower and workload, and raising fiber manufacturing costs. When workers are overwhelmed, efficiency suffers, unnecessary time is wasted, and production line shutdowns occur. Inadequate cleaning also leads to poor screening, affecting fiber quality.

[0003] In view of this, this utility model is proposed. Utility Model Content

The basic concept of the technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problem is as follows: A fiber optic cooling tube cleaning device includes an air manifold and a venturi tube. An electromagnetic pulse valve is installed on the outlet pipe of the air manifold, and the other end of the electromagnetic pulse valve is connected to a blow pipe. The venturi tube is installed at the blow end of the blow pipe. A cooling tube is arranged below the venturi tube. Cleaning balls are fitted inside the cavity of the cooling tube. A ball collection bag is arranged below the cooling tube for collecting the cleaning balls.

[0005] As a further aspect of this invention: the air inlet of the air bag is connected to an external air source, which supplies air to the air bag.

[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model: the surface of the cleaning ball is provided with multiple intersecting cleaning lines, which are irregular deep lines that can trap debris, optical fibers, and dust within the lines, making it easy to remove foreign objects.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model: a collection funnel is provided at the upper port of the ball collection bag. The collection funnel has a structure that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, which facilitates the cleaning balls falling into the ball collection bag.

[0008] As a further improvement of this invention, the size of the cleaning ball is adapted to the size of the through hole in the cooling pipe to ensure effective cleaning of the inner wall of the cooling pipe.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art.

Detailed Implementation

[0016] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0017] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a fiber optic cooling tube cleaning device includes an air reservoir 1 and a venturi tube 4. An electromagnetic pulse valve 2 is installed on the air outlet pipe of the air reservoir 1, and the other end of the electromagnetic pulse valve 2 is connected to a blow pipe 3. A venturi tube 4 is installed at the blow end of the blow pipe 3. A cooling tube 6 is arranged below the venturi tube 4. Cleaning balls 5 are arranged in the cavity of the cooling tube 6. A ball collection bag 7 is arranged below the cooling tube 6 for collecting the cleaning balls 5.

[0018] Among them, the air inlet of air bag 1 is connected to an external air source, and the air source supplies air to air bag 1.

[0019] The surface of the cleaning ball 5 is decorated with multiple intersecting cleaning lines 9. The cleaning lines 9 are irregular deep lines that can trap debris, optical fibers, and dust in the lines, making it easy to remove foreign objects.

[0020] A collection funnel 8 is provided at the upper end of the ball collection bag 7. The collection funnel 8 has a structure that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, which makes it easy for the cleaned balls 5 to fall into the ball collection bag 7.

[0021] The size of the cleaning ball 5 is matched with the size of the through hole in the cooling pipe 6 to ensure effective cleaning of the inner wall of the cooling pipe 6.

[0022] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The device mainly consists of an air tank 1, an electromagnetic pulse valve 2, a blow pipe 3, a venturi tube 4, a cleaning ball 5, a ball collection bag 7, an external control circuit, and related connecting parts; the air source, air tank 1, electromagnetic pulse valve 2, blow pipe 3, and venturi tube 4 constitute the air circuit execution unit; the cleaning ball 5 is the main cleaning medium, and the external control circuit directly controls the opening and closing action and opening and closing time of the electromagnetic pulse valve 2, which is the main electrical control unit. The control circuit adopts existing technology. The fiber optic cooling tube 6 cleaning device is installed above the cooling tube 6. During cleaning, the Venturi tube 4 is connected to the opening of the cooling tube 6. High-pressure and rapid gas pushes the small ball from the upper end to the lower end of the cooling tube 6 to clean the wall of the cooling tube 6, replacing the original manual method of pulling ropes and tying cloths for cleaning. An air source is used to supply air to the air tank 1. The air tank 1 has an adjustable internal gas pressure specification. After the air tank 1 is filled with air pressure, the gas is discharged by the electromagnetic pulse valve 2. The air source is an air compressor. When it is necessary to clean the cooling pipe 6, the device is pushed above the cooling pipe 6, the cleaning ball 5 is placed at the upper opening of the cooling pipe 6, the air compressor is started to inflate the air tank 1 to the rated pressure, and the peripheral circuit is controlled by the button to activate the electromagnetic pulse valve 2. The gas is quickly released into the blow pipe 3. The gas passes through the blow pipe 3 to the Venturi tube 4. The change in the diameter of the Venturi tube 4 can accelerate the airflow. The airflow speed is increased by the Venturi tube 4, and the cleaning ball 5 is blown from the upper opening to the lower opening of the cooling pipe 6. The surface of the cleaning ball 5 has many irregular deep grooves, which can trap dust and broken optical fibers inside, making it easy to carry out foreign objects. The cleaning ball 5 discharged from the cooling pipe 6 is collected by the ball collection bag 7. The collected balls can be reused after cleaning. The gas reservoir 1 stores gas, and the gas jet pressure is adjusted by regulating the storage pressure. The electromagnetic pulse valve 2 controls the gas release, controlling the pressure storage and release. The Venturi tube 4 accelerates and pressurizes the airflow through its unique structure, enhancing the power of the ball running in the cooling pipe 6. The ball collection bag 7 effectively collects the ball, and at the same time collects debris, dust, broken optical fibers, etc. brought down from the cooling pipe 6. The material of the cleaning ball 5 is not specifically limited. This utility model has a reasonable structural design and is easy to install and use. By setting up an air tank 1, a blow pipe 3, and a Venturi tube 4, high-pressure gas is used to blow cleaning balls 5 from one end of the cooling pipe 6 to the other. The cleaning balls 5 are provided with cleaning grooves 9, which can trap debris, optical fibers, and dust in the grooves, making it easy to remove foreign objects and achieve effective cleaning of the cooling pipe 6. The cleaning of the cooling pipe 6 is flexible, convenient, fast and efficient. It can replace manual cleaning of the cooling pipe 6 by going up and down the stairs, saving labor and avoiding the safety hazards of frequent manual climbing up and down the stairs. At the same time, it saves costs and is highly efficient.

[0023] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-described technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
