Embodiment
To a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail, should be appreciated that following illustrated preferred embodiment only is used for description and interpretation the present invention, is not intended to limit the present invention below in conjunction with accompanying drawing.
Fig. 1 has shown the structure of optical fiber fusion welding point protective device of the present invention, and as shown in Figure 1, fiber splicing protector of the present invention comprises:
The optical fiber 14 that is welded together has heat-shrink tube 10 at its welding solder joint cover, is used for the packaged fiber solder joint;
The stage casing is with the internal lining pipe 9 of opening, the optical fiber that is welded together penetrates in it, make described heat-shrink tube 10 be positioned at described aperture position, 9 pairs of optical fiber pads of inner bushing pipe play the role of positioning, so both protected optical fiber fusion welding point to avoid vibration, avoid again simultaneously the fault owing to heat-shrink tube deformed damaged under the high temperature, further protected fusion point;
Oversheath pipe 11 is socketed on the internal lining pipe 9;
Two plugs; the two ends of the described oversheath pipe 11 of shutoff respectively, plug 7 has adopted flexible structure so as to reduce since reel around the optical cable damage that causes of distortion; and the waterproofing design that the two ends plug adopts, thereby more guarantee effective protection to various optical fiber pads.
Oversheath pipe 11 of the present invention is the metal hollow pipe, and its cross section is shown in Fig. 2 A, in order to can process by crimping, with oversheath pipe 11 crimping internal lining pipes 9.The present invention carries out the location crimping by mould, so that crimp quality is controlled easily.
Fig. 2 B has shown the cross section of oversheath pipe 11 after its first crimping place 12 or the second crimping place 8 crimping, and its cross section becomes hexagon, compress stressed for six direction for evenly stressed to center of circle direction.In general, the crimping position is that oversheath pipe 11 is apart from the about 15mm of two ends afterbody position.
Shown in Fig. 2 B; after the optical fiber fusion connection point protector crimping moulding; a certain section cross-sectional area is compressed to have diminished; metal tube is compressed; power is compressed to the center of circle along six direction; so that also being under pressure, the terrace part 15 of the flexible media plug 13 of the first crimping place 12 and the second crimping place 8 the insides begins the distortion compression; because the flexible media plug belongs to soft material; in extrusion process, can not cause to the optical cable of its inside direct hard defects; optical fiber outer jacket 6 has soft outside but hard inside protective effect in addition; can guarantee that inner optical fiber can not be subject to the situations such as damage that any extruding causes, and can guarantee metal tube; the oversheath of flexible media plug and optical cable being crimped on together tightly.Its long-term tensile property surpasses the 10KG axial tension, and short-term can be born the axial tension above 25KG.
Oversheath pipe of the present invention 11 two ends are two plugs 7 of crimping and 13 respectively, in order to make oversheath pipe 11 and plug form crimping.
Fig. 3 has shown the structure of the internal lining pipe 9 of Fig. 1, and as shown in Figure 3, internal lining pipe 9 is pipes that a center section part bit strip has the semicircle gap, and semicircular gap is in the center section of pipe, and respectively there is complete pipe at two ends.Wherein, the optical cable of the optical fiber that is welded together is crimped on respectively the end 1 and 5 at the two ends of internal lining pipe 9, and at semicircular gap bonding optical cable, the heat-shrink tube 10 that wherein encapsulates solder joint is bonded in the centre of the semicircle gap of internal lining pipe 9.
Fig. 4 has shown the cross section of plug 7 of the present invention and 13, and as shown in Figure 4, plug 7 and 13 is respectively the tapered hollow flexible tube with platform 15, and the two ends of wherein said oversheath pipe 11 are the described platform 15 of crimping respectively.Plug can be made by ABS high-temperature resistance plastice, silicon rubber etc.
In addition, plug 7 and 13 platform are respectively by the bond two ends inwall of described oversheath pipe 11 of marine glue.And the oversheath 6 of optical fiber is metal knitted electrostatic screening layer.
Fig. 5 has shown fused fiber splice guard method of the present invention, may further comprise the steps:
The solder joint suit heat-shrink tube 10 of the optical fiber that is integrated in welding is with the packaged fiber solder joint;
The stage casing is enclosed within welding on the optical fiber together with the internal lining pipe 9 of opening, makes described heat-shrink tube 10 be positioned at described aperture position;
Be enclosed within on the internal lining pipe 9 with oversheath pipe 11; And
Two ends with two described oversheath pipes 11 of plugs difference shutoff.
Specifically, the optical fiber that the present invention is good with welding is seated in 9 li of internal lining pipes, and heat-shrink tube 10 is seated in the opening position of internal lining pipe and is fixed, and internal lining pipe 9 is placed on the zone line of oversheath pipe 11 inside, two flexible media plugs 7 and 13 are placed on the both sides of oversheath pipe, then carry out crimping.
Below by an instantiation, the implementation procedure of the fused fiber splice protection of the present invention of explanation.After being ready to fused fiber splice preliminary work, the two ends of optical fiber/optical cable that will welding are prepared as requested, successively tail cover plug, oversheath pipe, internal lining pipe are inserted in an end of optical fiber/optical cable that will welding, another tail cover plug are inserted in the other end of optical fiber/optical cable that will welding.
Begin to carry out the fused fiber splice operation.After the welding operation is finished (heat-shrink tube pyrocondensation step is finished), first internal lining pipe is put go back to the centre position, allow heat-shrink tube be in the centre position of internal lining pipe gap, the two ends of optical fiber/optical cable all enter the not opening position at internal lining pipe two ends, it is 10mm that the two ends of optical fiber/optical cable enter internal lining pipe two ends minor increment, sticks with glue 3 points in the agent vault internal lining pipe: be respectively the position that heat-shrink tube position on the gap and internal lining pipe two ends optical cable enter.
After internal lining pipe installs and fixes, the oversheath pipe is passed internal lining pipe, so that internal lining pipe is placed on the central part of oversheath steel pipe, marine glue is smeared in crimping place of ABS tail cover plug uniformly, notice that the amount of smearing is difficult for too much, not painting water-proof adhesive of continuous part can not be arranged, the two ends that the ABS tail at two ends cover plug is inserted in the oversheath steel pipe.Tail is overlapped plug also smear marine glue with the inside, gap of the armored optical cable of centre, notice that the amount of smearing is difficult for too much not painting water-proof adhesive of continuous part being arranged.
After all assembling, beginning crimping step.Carry out crimping in the position of crimping place A, crimping place B as shown in Figure 1.After the crimping moulding, under natural room temperature, allow glue curing.
In sum, the protective device of optical fiber solder joint of the present invention or fusion point and method can be widely used in the fields such as Optical Fiber Transmission, optical-fibre communications, Fibre Optical Sensor.
Although above the present invention is had been described in detail, the invention is not restricted to this, those skilled in the art of the present technique can carry out various modifications according to principle of the present invention.Therefore, all modifications of doing according to the principle of the invention all should be understood to fall into protection scope of the present invention.
