Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical fiber technology, and in particular to an integrated production device for optical fiber ribbons that is not easy to peel off. Background Technology

[0002] In fields such as optical fiber communication and data transmission, fiber optic ribbons are widely used in backbone networks, local area networks, and various optical communication equipment due to their advantages such as high density, small size, and ease of cluster cabling. With the rapid development of communication technology, the performance requirements for fiber optic ribbons are becoming increasingly stringent. Especially in scenarios involving complex operating conditions, frequent insertion and removal, or vibration, the connection stability between the fiber optic ribbon and the device has become a key technical indicator, and "difficulty in being stripped" has become one of the core performance requirements, directly affecting the reliability and lifespan of the communication system.

[0003] Currently, the production process of optical fiber ribbons typically involves multiple stages, including feeding, leveling, cutting, and collecting. Existing production equipment often suffers from fragmented processes and low integration, requiring multiple independent machines to coordinate production. This not only results in large production floor space and high equipment costs but also easily leads to tension fluctuations and positioning deviations due to poor process coordination, affecting the flatness and cutting accuracy of the optical fiber ribbon. Furthermore, for the production of optical fiber ribbons with components that are difficult to peel off, existing equipment has the following prominent drawbacks:

[0004] Firstly, the leveling effect is poor. During the feeding process, the fiber optic ribbon is prone to bending and wrinkling due to winding stress. Existing leveling mechanisms mostly adopt a leveling wheel design with fixed spacing, which cannot flexibly adjust the clamping force and leveling range according to the width, thickness and material characteristics of the fiber optic ribbon. As a result, residual stress still exists in the leveled fiber optic ribbon, which is prone to peeling due to stress release during subsequent assembly with devices.

[0005] Secondly, the cutting precision is insufficient. Devices that are difficult to peel off have extremely high requirements for the flatness of the cut end face of the fiber ribbon and the accuracy of its length. Most existing cutting devices cut in a fixed position, making it difficult to quickly switch between different length specifications through precise adjustment. Moreover, the fiber ribbon is prone to displacement and shaking during the cutting process, resulting in tilted cut end face and more burrs, which affects the tightness of the fit with the device, thereby reducing the connection strength and increasing the risk of peeling.

[0006] Third, tension control is unstable. Tension fluctuations in the fiber optic ribbon during transport directly affect its structural integrity and dimensional stability. The existing tension adjustment mechanisms of the feeding and receiving machines are slow to respond and cannot adapt to changes in production speed in real time. This can easily lead to problems such as excessive tension causing the fiber optic ribbon to stretch and deform, or insufficient tension causing slack and displacement, further exacerbating defects in subsequent processing.

[0007] Fourth, operation and maintenance are inconvenient. The functional modules of the existing equipment are scattered, and the core mechanisms such as cutting and leveling lack effective protection and observation structures. It is difficult for operators to monitor the processing status in real time, and the adjustment mechanism is cumbersome. Adjusting the parameters for different specifications of optical fiber ribbons takes a long time, making equipment maintenance difficult and seriously affecting production efficiency.

[0008] Furthermore, while some integrated production equipment attempts to integrate multiple processes, it suffers from insufficient coordination in its structural design. For example, inconsistencies in the positioning references of the leveling and cutting mechanisms, and low guiding accuracy of moving parts, result in fiber optic ribbons that fail to meet the requirements for use with non-peelable devices in terms of dimensional consistency and end-face quality. Therefore, developing an integrated production device for non-peelable device fiber optic ribbons with high integration, good leveling effect, high cutting accuracy, stable tension control, and convenient operation has become an urgent need to overcome current technological bottlenecks.

[0009] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems by providing an integrated production device for optical fiber ribbons that is not easy to peel off.

[0010] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a technical solution: an integrated production device for fiber optic ribbons that is difficult to peel off, comprising a base, a feeding machine, a receiving machine, a first leveling machine, a second leveling machine, a first leveling wheel, a housing, a first bearing, a motor, a lead screw, a slide rail, and a cutting assembly; the feeding machine and the second leveling machine are fixedly connected to the left side of the upper surface of the base; the receiving machine and the first leveling machine are fixedly connected to the left side of the upper surface of the base; each of the first and second leveling machines is equipped with several first leveling wheels; the housing is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper surface of the base; a slide rail is fixedly connected to the bottom surface inside the housing cavity; a motor is fixedly connected to the right side inside the housing cavity; a lead screw is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, and the other end of the lead screw is movably connected to the left side inside the housing via the first bearing; the cutting assembly is threadedly connected to the lead screw, and the end of the cutting assembly is slidably connected to the slide rail.

[0011] Preferably, the cutting assembly includes a movable seat, a mounting plate, a movable plate, a screw, a handwheel, a slide bar, a limit block, a second leveling wheel, a second bearing, a pneumatic cylinder, and a cutter; the end of the movable seat is slidably connected to a slide rail, and the lower end of the movable seat is threadedly connected to a lead screw; a pneumatic cylinder is fixedly connected to the upper end of the interior of the movable seat cavity, and a cutter is fixedly connected to the output end of the pneumatic cylinder; mounting plates are fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the left and right sides of the movable seat; a movable plate is provided on the inner end of each mounting plate; a second leveling wheel is connected to the inner end of each movable plate; two mutually spaced slide bars are fixedly connected to each movable plate, the slide bars are slidably connected to the mounting plate, and a limit block is fixedly connected to the other end of each slide bar; a screw is also movably connected to the movable plate through a second bearing, the screw is threadedly connected to the mounting plate, and a handwheel is fixedly connected to the other end of each screw.

[0012] Preferably, the front side of the cover is provided with an openable observation window, which is made of a transparent and impact-resistant material.

[0013] Preferably, the base has adjustable height support feet at all four corners of its lower surface, and the bottom of each support foot has an anti-slip pad.

[0014] Preferably, the motor is a servo motor and is equipped with a speed control controller, which can precisely control the rotation speed of the lead screw.

[0015] Preferably, the cutter is made of high-speed steel, the blade is inclined, and a guide sleeve is provided between the cutter and the moving base.

[0016] Preferably, the slide bar surface is provided with a lubricating layer, and the limiting block is made of rubber with a buffer gap between it and the mounting plate.

[0017] Preferably, both the feeding machine and the receiving machine are equipped with a tension adjustment mechanism, which can adjust the conveying tension of the optical fiber ribbon in real time.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: (1) Improved integration and optimized production process: This device integrates the core processes such as feeding, leveling, cutting and collecting into the same base, without relying on multiple independent equipment, effectively reducing the production floor space by more than 30% and reducing equipment investment and site costs. At the same time, each process is directly connected through mechanical structure, avoiding the problems of conveying delay and positioning deviation caused by the dispersion of processes. The production efficiency is 40%-60% higher than that of traditional decentralized equipment, realizing the integrated continuous production of optical fiber ribbon from raw materials to finished products.

[0019] (2) Dual leveling design to ensure non-peeling performance: The device innovatively adopts a dual leveling structure of "first leveling machine + second leveling wheel of cutting component". The first leveling machine uses multiple sets of first leveling wheels to initially shape the optical fiber ribbon and eliminate winding stress; the second leveling wheels on both sides of the cutting component can be adjusted by handwheel screws to drive the movable plate to move along the slide bar, flexibly adapting to optical fiber ribbons of different widths and thicknesses, and precisely controlling the leveling and clamping force. Dual leveling can completely eliminate the wrinkles and residual stress of the optical fiber ribbon, ensuring that it fits tightly with the device during assembly, greatly reducing the risk of peeling, and improving the connection stability between the optical fiber ribbon and the device by more than 50%, meeting the "non-peeling" requirements under complex working conditions.

[0020] (3) High-precision cutting to improve product consistency: The cutting assembly uses a servo motor to drive the lead screw, which, together with the slide rail, enables the smooth sliding of the moving seat. The servo motor is equipped with a speed adjustment controller, which can accurately control the moving speed and position of the moving seat, with a positioning accuracy of ±0.02mm. The cutter is made of high-speed steel with an inclined blade, which provides high cutting sharpness and wear resistance. The guide sleeve ensures that the cutter does not deviate during the cutting process, effectively avoiding defects such as burrs and tilting on the cut end face. In addition, by adjusting the position of the moving seat, different length specifications can be quickly switched without changing the mold. The product length error is controlled within ±0.05mm, which significantly improves the dimensional consistency and end face quality of the fiber ribbon of the difficult-to-peel device.

[0021] (4) Stable tension control to protect the structural integrity of the fiber optic ribbon: Both the feeding machine and the receiving machine are equipped with a real-time tension adjustment mechanism, which can dynamically adjust the tension according to the fiber optic ribbon conveying speed and material characteristics, avoiding excessive tension that could cause the fiber optic ribbon to stretch and deform or be damaged, or insufficient tension that could cause slack and shifting. Stable tension control ensures that the fiber optic ribbon remains flat and stretched during the leveling and cutting process, which not only ensures processing accuracy but also reduces internal stress damage to the fiber optic ribbon and extends its service life after being connected to the device.

[0022] (5) Convenient operation and maintenance, lowering the barrier to entry: The front of the housing is equipped with an openable observation window made of transparent impact-resistant material, allowing operators to monitor the cutting and leveling process inside the housing in real time and detect any abnormalities promptly; the adjustable height support feet at the four corners of the base can adapt to different ground flatnesses, and the anti-slip pads at the bottom enhance the stability of the device and prevent vibration from affecting processing accuracy during production; the slide bar surface is equipped with a lubricating layer to reduce frictional wear when the movable plate moves, and the rubber limit blocks, combined with the buffer gap, can prevent damage to components from collisions during adjustment. These designs significantly reduce the difficulty of equipment operation and maintenance, reduce downtime for maintenance, and improve the reliability of continuous equipment operation.

[0023] (6) Safe and durable structure, extending equipment life: The core components of the device are all designed with high durability. For example, the cutter is made of high-speed steel, which has excellent wear resistance and a service life 3-5 times longer than that of ordinary carbon steel cutters. The first and second bearings ensure smooth rotation of the lead screw and screw rod, reducing mechanical wear. The cover can effectively prevent dust and foreign objects from entering, protecting the internal motor, lead screw and other precision components from external pollution and collisions. The high stability and durability of the overall structure reduces the equipment failure rate, extends the service life of the whole machine, and further reduces the long-term operating costs of enterprises.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, this specific embodiment adopts the following technical solution: an integrated production device for fiber optic ribbons with components that are not easily peeled off, including a base 1, a feeding machine 2, a receiving machine 3, a first leveling machine 4, a second leveling machine 5, a first leveling wheel 6, a cover 7, a first bearing 8, a motor 9, a lead screw 10, a slide rail 11, and a cutting assembly; the feeding machine 2 and the second leveling machine 5 are fixedly connected to the left side of the upper surface of the base 1. The feeding machine 2 is used to provide the raw material of the fiber optic ribbon to be processed, and the second leveling machine 5 works with the first leveling machine 4 to achieve a double leveling effect; the receiving machine 3 and the first leveling machine 4 are fixedly connected to the left side of the upper surface of the base 1. The receiving machine 3 is used to collect the finished fiber optic ribbon, and the first leveling machine 4 uses multiple sets of first leveling wheels 6 to perform preliminary shaping of the fiber optic ribbon; both the first leveling machine 4 and the second leveling machine 5 are equipped with several first leveling wheels 6, which, through multiple The initial winding stress of the optical fiber ribbon is eliminated by roller compaction; a cover 7 is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper surface of the base 1, which serves to prevent dust and foreign object intrusion and protect the internal precision components; a slide rail 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the cavity of the cover 7, providing guidance and support for the movement of the cutting assembly; a motor 9 is fixedly connected to the right side of the cavity of the cover 7, serving as the power source for the movement of the cutting assembly; a lead screw 10 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 9, and the other end of the lead screw 10 is movably connected to the left side of the inside of the cover 7 through a first bearing 8, which ensures the smooth rotation of the lead screw 10 and reduces mechanical wear; the cutting assembly is threadedly connected to the lead screw 10, and the end of the cutting assembly is slidably connected to the slide rail 11. The rotation of the lead screw 10 drives the cutting assembly to move precisely along the slide rail 11, realizing cutting operations at different positions.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the cutting assembly includes a movable seat 12, a mounting plate 13, a movable plate 14, a screw 15, a handwheel 16, a slide bar 17, a limit block 18, a second leveling wheel 19, a second bearing 20, a pneumatic cylinder 21, and a cutter 22. The end of the movable seat 12 is slidably connected to the slide rail 11, and the lower end of the movable seat 12 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 10. When the lead screw 10 rotates, it drives the movable seat 12 to slide smoothly along the slide rail 11. A pneumatic cylinder 21 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the interior of the movable seat 12, and a cutter 22 is fixedly connected to the output end of the pneumatic cylinder 21. The pneumatic cylinder 21 provides cutting power to the cutter 22, achieving fast and accurate cutting. Mounting plates 13 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the left and right sides of the movable seat 12, serving as mounting carriers for the movable plate 14 and related components. Movable plates 14 are provided on the inner ends of the mounting plates 13 for mounting the second leveling wheel 19 and... The movable plate 14 is equipped with two second leveling wheels 19 connected to its inner end. These wheels work in conjunction with the first leveling machine 4 to perform secondary leveling, further eliminating residual stress in the fiber optic ribbon. Two spaced-apart slide rods 17 are fixedly connected to each movable plate 14. These slide rods 17 are slidably connected to the mounting plate 13, providing guidance for the movement of the movable plate 14. Limit blocks 18 are fixedly connected to the other end of each slide rod 17 to prevent the movable plate 14 from excessively moving and detaching from the mounting plate 13. A screw 15 is also movably connected to the movable plate 14 via a second bearing 20. The second bearing 20 ensures smooth rotation of the screw 15. The screw 15 is threaded into the mounting plate 13. A handwheel 16 is fixedly connected to the other end of each screw 15. Rotating the handwheel 16 drives the screw 15 to rotate, thereby driving the movable plate 14 to move along the slide rods 17, thus achieving flexible adjustment of the spacing between the second leveling wheels 19.

[0030] The cover 7 has an openable observation window on its front side, made of transparent and impact-resistant material, allowing operators to monitor the cutting and leveling process inside the cover 7 in real time and promptly detect any processing abnormalities. The base 1 has adjustable support feet at each of its four corners to accommodate different ground flatness levels. The bottom of each support foot has anti-slip pads to enhance the stability of the device during production and prevent vibration from affecting processing accuracy. The motor 9 is a servo motor equipped with a speed control controller, which precisely controls the rotation speed of the lead screw 10, thereby achieving precise control of the moving speed and position of the moving seat 12, with a positioning accuracy of ±0.02mm. The cutter 22 is made of high-speed steel with an angled blade for sharp cutting. Highly wear-resistant, with a service life 3-5 times longer than ordinary carbon steel cutters, and a guide sleeve between the cutter 22 and the moving seat 12 ensures that the cutter 22 does not deviate during the cutting process, avoiding defects such as burrs and tilting on the cut end face; the slide rod 17 has a lubricating layer on its surface to reduce friction loss when the movable plate 14 moves, and the limiting block 18 is made of rubber with a buffer gap between it and the mounting plate 13 to avoid collision damage to components during adjustment; both the feeding machine 2 and the receiving machine 3 are equipped with tension adjustment mechanisms, which can dynamically adjust the tension according to the fiber optic ribbon conveying speed and material characteristics, avoiding fiber optic ribbon stretching deformation and structural damage due to excessive tension, or slack deviation due to insufficient tension, thus ensuring the structural integrity and flatness of the fiber optic ribbon during processing.

[0031] The usage of this utility model is as follows: Before use, according to the width, thickness, and target length specifications of the optical fiber ribbon to be processed, the movable plate 14 is driven to move along the slide bar 17 by rotating the handwheel 16 and adjusting the screw 15, so that the spacing of the second leveling rollers 19 matches the size of the optical fiber ribbon. At the same time, the leveling device is adjusted by the adjustable support feet at the four corners of the base 1 to ensure stable operation of the equipment. After starting the equipment, the feeding machine 2 releases the optical fiber ribbon, and the tension adjustment mechanism controls the conveying tension in real time. The optical fiber ribbon first passes through the first leveling roller 6 of the second leveling machine 5 for preliminary leveling to eliminate winding stress. Then the optical fiber ribbon enters the housing 7 and passes through the second leveling rollers 19 on both sides of the cutting assembly. A secondary leveling process is performed to ensure the fiber optic ribbon is flat and spread out. The servo motor 9 drives the lead screw 10 to rotate according to the preset length, which in turn moves the moving seat 12 along the slide rail 11 to the designated cutting position. The pneumatic cylinder 21 drives the cutter 22 to move downwards, precisely cutting the fiber optic ribbon. The cut fiber optic ribbon continues to be conveyed to the take-up machine 3. The tension adjustment mechanism of the take-up machine 3, in conjunction with the take-up speed, ensures that the finished fiber optic ribbon is neatly wound. The operator can monitor the processing process in real time through the transparent observation window of the cover 7. If any abnormality is found, the machine can be stopped and adjusted in time. After processing is completed, the equipment is turned off, and the cutter 22, leveling wheel and other components are cleaned and maintained to ensure the stable operation of the equipment in the future.
