Description

The optical connector cleaning device
Technical field
The present invention relates to the optical connector cleaning device, be used to utilize unidirectional continuously and the cleaning body of band shape with softnesses such as cloth of certain width the jointing end face of optical connector is cleaned.
Background technology
As everyone knows, when optical connector is connected with butt joints such as optical fiber, if on its jointing end face, be attached with stain or foreign matter, damage in the time of then can causing dismounting or transmission loss increase etc.Therefore, need, butt joint clean jointing end face in advance before connecting.
When the jointing end face to optical connector cleans, adopted the optical connector cleaning device, this optical connector cleaning device makes the continuous material by unidirectional continuous softness such as rope constitute cleaning body and contacts to wipe stain etc. with jointing end face in the past.
As this optical connector cleaning device; Known have at its fore-end (head part) part of the cleaning body that is made up of continuous material is exposed; The limit makes this cleaning body that exposes on its continuous direction, carry mobile limit to make it to contact (backup) with the jointing end face of optical connector, and making head part simultaneously is the optical connector cleaning device (for example with reference to International Publication the 2008/108278th brochure) of the mode of center rotation with the axis vertical with jointing end face.
Adopt the optical connector cleaning device of this mode to comprise having supply around the conveying mechanism of axle and winch spool and the rotating mechanism that makes the head part rotation; Wherein, This supply is used for the cleaning body that the continuous material by unidirectional continuous softnesses such as ropes constitutes is seen off towards the fore-end of instrument around axle, and this winch spool is from the fore-end of the instrument cleaning body that retracts and reel.
Here, as unidirectional continuous cleaning body, mainly be divided into the cleaning body of the roughly rounded rope form in cross section, and width is compared the cleaning body of especially big band shape with thickness.If the cleaning body to above-mentioned rope form compares with banded cleaning body, then of the back, with regard to the effect aspect that the composition surface of optical connector is cleaned, the cleaning body of the latter's band shape is better.But,, then be that the former cleaning body of rope form is better from the viewpoint of the miniaturization of cleaning device.Therefore, adopted banded cleaning body usually in the past.
Under the situation of the cleaning body of rope form, the contact area on the composition surface of cleaning body relative light connector is less.Therefore; Even if under the situation that makes the head part rotation; If tilt and make backup power inhomogeneous, then also can for example produce the wiping vestige on the periphery etc., easily generation situation about can't fully clean in the part on composition surface to or backup direction insufficient to the backup power on composition surface.With respect to this, under the situation of using banded cleaning body, it is big that the contact area on the composition surface of cleaning body relative light connector becomes.Therefore, the possibility of generation wiping vestige is little.So, from cleaning ability viewpoint, the preferred cleaning body that uses band shape.
Coiling situation when reeling rope form or banded cleaning body with reference to Figure 25 A, 25B to utilizing winch spool in the cleaning device describes.Winch spool 31 has the main part 47B cylindraceous that is path usually, and flange part 48B, the 49B in the big footpath that is provided with at its two ends.In this winch spool 31, cleaning body 2,200 is wound in main part 47B.
Under the situation of the cleaning body 200 of coiling rope form; Shown in Figure 25 A; With the situation of the certain position place continuous reeling (at certain position in order overlapping coiling) of cleaning body 200 on the outer peripheral face of main part 47B seldom, and normally on the axis direction of main part 47B to a certain degree to be reeled dispersedly.Relative therewith, under the situation of using banded cleaning body 2, shown in Figure 25 B, cleaning body 2 segregations are reeled in the part at the main part 47B of winch spool 31, and are roughly overlapping in order at certain position.Therefore, if under the situation of the cleaning body of coiling equal length, be that rope form compares with banded situation to cleaning body, then under the situation of the cleaning body 200 of rope form, the winding diameter of the cleaning body 200 on the main part 47B is not so big.Therefore, the diameter of winch spool 31 (the flange part 48B of main part both end sides, the diameter of 49B) D also needn't be so big.Relative therewith, under the situation of the cleaning body 2 of band shape, winding diameter can be more a lot of greatly than the situation of the cleaning body 200 of rope form.Therefore, big a lot of structure in the time of also must using its diameter D than the cleaning body 200 that uses rope form as winch spool 31.Particularly; For example suppose in the exchange tool not the disposable cleaning device of ccontaining cleaning body; Can carry out at a ccontaining product under the situation of cleaning body of the cleaning length about 500 times; In the cleaning body of rope form, can be 12.5mm through diameter D, highly (length on the axis direction of main part 47B) H is that winch spool about 7.7mm is reeled.On the other hand, in the cleaning body (for example making its bandwidth is 2mm) of band shape, needing diameter D is that 40mm is above, height H is the above winch spool of 2mm.
As stated, be that winch spool is necessary for big footpath under the situation of band shape at cleaning body, this can hinder the whole miniaturization of cleaning device.Therefore, although be superior to the cleaning body of rope form, in fact be not to be suitable for very much actual product at banded cleaning body aspect the cleaning effect.
Like this; When adopting banded cleaning body; If cleaning body that should band shape is at the overlapping coiling of certain position; Become little when then the height H of winch spool 31 can be than the cleaning body that uses rope form, but also can know according to above-mentioned example, make cleaning body from becoming of rope form banded the time height H reduction only have about several mm.This increase with the diameter D of the winch spool that reaches tens of mm 31 is compared little a lot, so the increase of winch spool diameter can hinder the whole miniaturization of instrument.
If sacrifice the number of times that can clean in the product, even then adopt the banded cleaning body also can miniaturization, but can reduce the commodity value of product like this, therefore be inappropriate for actual product.
As stated as being used for the cleaning body of cleaning device, be banded more favourable from cleaning effect aspect than the rope form, the problem of wiping vestige that becomes the optical connector jointing end face of problem when using the cleaning body of rope form also can be eliminated or alleviated.But, when using banded cleaning body, be unfavorable for the instrument miniaturization, the use of the cleaning body of therefore influence band shape.

Transversing mechanism 120 has guide member shown in Figure 14 122, as the rotary part shown in figure 15 126 of above-mentioned motion changing mechanism and above-mentioned rotation stopping parts 138.Guide member 122 is configured to be made for as a whole slab, long plate shape, and its thickness direction is parallel with the rotation 31a of winch spool 31.On this guide member 122, be formed with and going up the perforation guide portion 124 that connects with the direction of the thickness direction quadrature direction of the rotation 31a quadrature of winch spool 31 (promptly with).And, at a distolateral concave part 122A who is formed with the cross section U word shape that above-mentioned rotation stopping parts 138 can be inserted into relatively slidably along thickness direction of the length direction of guide member 122.And, distolateral at another of the length direction of guide member 122, be formed with the cross section that columnar portion 126B connects along thickness direction and be roughly circular through hole 122C.On the part of the inboard of this through hole 122C, be formed with the holding section 122D of overshooting shape of the engaging guide part 126D (with reference to Figure 12) of the continuous groove-like that is inserted on the outer peripheral face 126C that is formed on rotary part columnar portion 126B.
Perforation guide portion 124 on the guide member 122; Cross sectional shape about its inner space; Minimum interval with the direction parallel with the rotation 31a of winch spool 31 (so linear reciprocation moving direction of this guide member 122) is more bigger than bandwidth W; And with the minimum interval of the direction of its quadrature be the mode of the distance littler than bandwidth W, for example being formed into section configuration is rectangle or elliptical shape (in illustrated example, being rectangle).This connects near the perforation direction two end portions (openend) of the inner face of guide portion 124, and the inner face that is made for them is expanded as level and smooth taper toward the outer side.
Rotation stopping parts 138 form the runway shape as a whole.Rotation stopping parts 138 set into its short transverse along the direction parallel with the rotation of winch spool 31.These rotation stopping parts 138 have the convex corresponding with the concave part 122A of the cross section U word shape of guide member 122 and stop face 138A.And the convex that in the concave part 122A of guide sections part 122, can insert rotation stopping parts 138 relatively stops face 138A with being free to slide; Can stop with the face of the rotation quadrature of winch spool 31 in the rotation of guide member 122, and allow or guide the straight line of the guide member 122 on the direction parallel to move with the rotation of winch spool 31.
Shown in figure 15, rotary part 126 constitutes by the columnar portion 126B with cylindrical outer peripheral face 126C with at a distolateral fixing 126A of driven gear portion of the axis direction of this columnar portion 126B.On the outer peripheral face 126C of columnar portion 126B, be formed with the engaging guide part 126D of the continuous recess shape that the holding section 122D of the overshooting shape of guide member 122 engages.The engaging guide part 126D of this continuous recess shape forms one week of outer peripheral face 126C around columnar portion 126B continuously.This engaging guide part 126D also is set to the position of the direction parallel with the axis direction of outer peripheral face 126C along the displacement continuously of this axis direction.Particularly; Track P on the outer peripheral face 126C of the columnar portion 126B of this engaging guide part 126 is set at: its outer peripheral face 126C is being expanded into when plane; Shown in Figure 24 A, be the wavy of sine wave or approaching sine wave, and at the position return-to-home position that has enough to meet the need 360 °.About the track of the engaging guide part 126D on the outer peripheral face 126C of this columnar portion 126B, also can columnar portion 126B be shown as the peripheral shape or the shape close in the cross section of the elliptical shape of performance when cutting off with the face that tilts with respect to its axis with it.
Columnar portion 126B about rotary part 126 shows as " cylinder ", but this is not to mean to only limit to proper solid cylinder, comprises hollow circuit cylinder yet.
The columnar portion 126B of rotary part 126 can be inserted among the through hole 122C of guide member 122 by perforation relatively slidably.The holding section 122D of the overshooting shape of the inner face of this through hole 122C can be slidably inserted into (engaging) in the engaging guide part 126D of the groove-like of the outer peripheral face 126C of columnar portion 126B relatively on the length direction (direction continuously) of this engaging guide part 126D.
Here, it is supported that above-mentioned rotary part 126 can rotate freely ground, so that its rotation is parallel with the rotation 31a of winch spool 31.And a distolateral 126A of driven gear portion of rotary part 126, shown in figure 11, with the small-diameter gear 128B engagement of centre rotation carrier 128.Middle rotation carrier 128 makes above-mentioned small-diameter gear 128B and large diameter gear 128A be that one is overlapping such ground, center with common axis and forms, thus with the axis parallel with the rotation 31a of winch spool 31 be the center can rotate freely supported.And the large diameter gear 128A of middle rotation carrier 128 is with second gear, 130 engagements fixing on the first flange plate 48B of winch spool 31.
Therefore, when winch spool 31 rotations, the rotation of winch spool 31 is transmitted to rotary part 126 via centre rotation carrier 128, is that the center is rotated with its axle.And, on the engaging guide part 126D of this rotary part 126, engaging the holding section 122D of guide member 122 slidably, this engaging guide part 126D is set to its position as stated along axis direction displacement continuously.Therefore, guide member 122 is accompanied by the rotation of rotary part 126, on the direction of this rotation, is moving point-blank.At this moment, engaging guide part 126D is continuous with the mode around one week of outer peripheral face 126C of columnar portion 126B, therefore follows the rectilinear motion of guide member 122 of the rotation of above-mentioned rotary part 126, be decide the reciprocating motion of stroke.Here; If see, we can say that also engaging guide part 126D and holding section 122D are formed into the shape that when rotary part 126 rotations, guide member 122 is moved back and forth on the direction parallel with the rotation of this rotary part 126 from above-mentioned such acting surface.
Second gear 130, large diameter gear 128A, small-diameter gear 128B and driven gear portion 126A gear each other are set at than in illustrated example, during winch spool 6 weeks of 31 rotations, and 126 1 weeks of rotation of rotary part.
Then to the method for using of the cleaning device 1 that adopts banded cleaning body 2 and an example of each action when using describe.
At common state (during non-use) shown in Figure 19 A, accommodating body 11 is positioned at the rear after relatively leaning on respect to extension 20 and conveying mechanism 3.
Like Figure 16, Figure 17 and shown in Figure 22; Catch accommodating body 11 with finger etc.; The extension cylindrical shell 21 of extension 20 is inserted mouthfuls 71 from the connector of optical adapter 70 insert, then extend the inwall 70a of cylindrical shell 21 through optical adapter 70 and position and get into connector containing hole 72.And the cleaning body on the backup face 24 2 is shown in figure 22, with appropriate location (being optical fiber cave 61b and periphery thereof the here) butt of the jointing end face 61a of optical plug 60.
Shown in Figure 17 and Figure 19 B; Further accommodating body 11 is applied power (to the power of the direction of arrow shown in Figure 16) forwards; The front end that then extends cylindrical shell 21 receives reaction force and is limited moving forwards from (with reference to Figure 22) such as the 70b of wall portion of optical adapter 70, and accommodating body 11 relatively forwards moves with respect to extension 20.At this moment, the cartridge base 15 of extension 20 is placed in cartridge base holding part 36 limiting under its rearward mobile state through confinement plate 42A shown in Figure 9,42B, so the fore-and-aft direction position of conveying mechanism 3 can not become greatly.Therefore, the compression of force application part 40 driven members 13, become through from the reaction force of carriage 35 to driving body 13 state of the application of force rearward.
Shown in Figure 19 B, the driving body 13 of accommodating body 11 relatively moves forward with respect to rotating cylinder portion 82, then inserts protuberance 54 also move forward under the state in the cam path that is inserted into rotating cylinder portion 82 85 (with reference to Figure 20 and Figure 21).Therefore, rotating shaft 52 is around its axle rotation.Through the rotation of such rotating shaft 52, shown in figure 22, head member 23 pivots.Therefore, banded cleaning body 2 keeps rotating wiping cleaning jointing end face 61a around the axle of head member 23 with the state of jointing end face 61a butt.
And shown in Figure 19 B,, then can apply the power of direction of rotation here through 56 pairs first gears 38 of gear carrier if driving body 13 relatively moves with respect to conveying mechanism 3.Be accompanied by the rotation of this first gear 38, winch spool 31 also rotates.Therefore, banded cleaning body 2 moves (traversing) through the perforation guide portion 124 of guide member 122 like the said axis direction along winch spool 31 in back, is wound in the main part 47B of winch spool 31.
Therewith together, banded cleaning body 2 is drawn from supplying with tube 30, carries through the backup face 24 of head member 23 and moves.Conveying through such cleaning body 2 is moved, the dust that adheres on the wiping jointing end face 61a reliably, dust greasy dirt etc.
After the cleaning that is through with as described above, extension 20 when optical adapter 70 is extracted, is made accommodating body 11 rearward move (with reference to Figure 18) and gets final product.At this moment, extend cylindrical shell 21 and the fore-and-aft direction position of conveying mechanism 3 with respect to accommodating body 11, the elastic force through force application part 40 is returned to common state (state shown in Figure 19 A).
Here; Situation when the cleaning body of band shape 2 being wound in the main part 47B of winch spool 31 through the perforation guide portion 124 of the guide member 122 that constitutes transversing mechanisms 120 with reference to Figure 23 A~23C, promptly, banded cleaning body 2 is traversed and situation when being wound in winch spool 31 describes along the axis direction of winch spool 31.
In this example, two flange part 48B of winch spool 31, the axis direction length L of the main part 47B between the 49B are for identical with 3 times of the width W of the cleaning body 2 of band shape (following sometimes this width W is called bandwidth W) or than its bigger length.And; Gear ratio between each gear is decided to be; The rotating speed of winch spool 31 is 6: 1 with the ratio of the rotating speed of rotary part 126; And the engaging guide part 126D of the groove-like of rotary part 126 is dimensioned to, and the one way displacement T of guide member 122 straight reciprocating motions is 2 times of bandwidth W during rotary part 126 rotation.
When banded as stated cleaning body 2 is reeled; Before the rotation through winch spool 31 is wound in this winch spool 31; On the position before 31, shown in Figure 23 A~23C, through the perforation guide portion 124 of guide member 122 from the inserting hole 83 of rotating cylinder portion 82 to winch spool.Here; The rotation of winch spool 31; From at the second fixing gear 130 of an end of this winch spool 31, via large diameter gear 128A and the small-diameter gear 128B of centre rotation carrier 128, to the 126A of driven gear portion transmission as the rotary part 126 of motion changing mechanism.Thus, rotary part 126 is the center rotation with its axle.Rotatablely moving of this rotary part 126, the snap portions of the holding section 122D through engaging guide part 126D and guide member 122 is transformed to straight reciprocating motion, to guide member 122 transmission.Therefore, guide member 122 is accompanied by the rotation of winch spool 31, and linear reciprocation moves on the direction parallel with its rotation.And the cleaning body 2 of the band shape of the perforation guide portion 124 through guide member 122 also is accompanied by the rotation of winch spool 31, on the direction parallel with the rotation of winch spool 31, moves back and forth.Consequently, the position of the banded cleaning body 2 of on the main part 47B of winch spool 31, reeling, also the rotation along winch spool 31 moves back and forth.
As stated, be accompanied by the rotation of winch spool 31, the situation when guide member 122 linear reciprocation move is shown in Figure 23 A~23C.In these figure, 3 revolution amounts of the winch spool 31 of (displacement L) when representing interimly that according to each week its one way in moving back and forth moves, promptly banded cleaning body 2 on main part 47B 3 week amount reeling conditions.
Here be decided to be, winch spool 31 carry out 6 revolution during, rotary part 126 carries out 1 revolution, therefore winch spool 31 carry out 3 revolution during, the only unidirectional mobile one way amount of guide member 122 apart from T.At this moment, the also amount of unidirectional displacement T of the winding position of the banded cleaning body 2 on the main part 47B of winch spool 31.This displacement T is 2 times of bandwidth W; Therefore winch spool 31 carry out 3 socialize then banded cleaning body 2 is being reeled on the winch spool 31 3 weeks during; When banded cleaning body 2 passes through the perforation guide portion 124 of guide member 122,2 times distance of moving belt width W.Consequently, the winding position of the cleaning body 2 of the band shape on the main part 47B of winch spool 31 also moves (traversing) same distance along its axis direction.Here, the displacement T of banded cleaning body 2 considers with the center of its width, and therefore 2 times of distances of moving belt width W as stated mean on the zone of 3 times of width that are winding to bandwidth.Therefore, banded cleaning body 2 can overlappingly not reeled substantially, but on the zone of 3 times of width of bandwidth W, the 3 week amounts (ground floor is with reference to Figure 23 C) of on one deck, reeling.
After winch spool 31 carries out 3 revolution as stated; The moving direction of guide member 122 counter-rotating (promptly becoming the state that court and direction in the opposite direction shown in Figure 23 A~23C move); During ensuing 3 revolution; On the above-mentioned ground floor on the main part 47B of winch spool 31, move the amount in 3 weeks in the opposite direction as the second layer, and the banded cleaning body 2 of reeling.And, repeat such process, the banded cleaning body 2 of on the zone of 3 times of width of bandwidth W, reeling gradually.
Like this, the cleaning body 2 of the band shape of on winch spool 31, reeling is accompanied by the rotation of winch spool 31, and winding position moves along axis direction, and moving direction is around in the amount in 3 weeks the zone of 3 times of width of bandwidth W whenever at a distance from the just counter-rotating of 3 revolution as level 1 volume.
Two flange part 48B of winch spool 31, the axis direction length L of the main part 47B between the 49B are for identical with 3 times of the width W of the cleaning body 2 of band shape or than its bigger length.Therefore, as stated 3 week amounts are reeled on the zone of 3 times of width of bandwidth W as 1 layer, the axis direction length L that means winch spool 31 is roughly striden its total length and is effectively utilized.The banded cleaning body 2 owing to reel like this; Do not make winding position move (traversing) with banded cleaning body 2 and whenever compare coiling thickness (the lamination thickness on the main part of winch spool) little a lot (near 1/3) at certain position at a distance from the situation of 1 all overlapping coilings to equal length.Consequently, the diameter of winch spool 31 (flange footpath) D also can be little a lot.
Situation when Figure 23 A~23C reels in order to explain is schematically represented so that understand, and is not the position relation or the actual winding position of accurate expression guide member 122 and winch spool 31.
In above-mentioned example; Length L between the flange part of winch spool 31 is decided to be 3 times of bandwidth W or than its bigger degree; And winch spool 31 carry out 6 revolution during; Guide member 122 move back and forth 1 time (in other words, winch spool 31 carry out 3 revolution during, guide member 122 unidirectional one way displacement T).But be not limited thereto; Basically making flange part 48B, the length L between the 49B of winch spool 31 is more than 2 times of bandwidth W; The displacement T of guide member 122 is the above distance of bandwidth W; And guide member 122 carry out 1 time reciprocal during, winch spool 31 rotations 2n time (wherein n is the arbitrary value more than 2) get final product.
And if made the optimum condition vague generalization, then:
A: when making n be the arbitrary value more than 2, the length L of the flange part 48B of winch spool 31, the axis direction of the main part 47B between the 49B and bandwidth W satisfy the relation of (1) formula;
(n+1)·W>L≥n·W......(1)
B: guide member 122 reciprocal 1 time during the rotating speed of winch spool 31 be (2n);
C: (2) formula relation is satisfied in moving back and forth apart from (one way amount) T and bandwidth W of the guide member 122 of transversing mechanism 120.
n·W>T≥(n-1)·W......(2)
