D. promote first optical fiber and second optical fiber moves predeterminable range, make to promote first optical fiber and second optical fiber and reach posetionof weld.
The preferred embodiments of the invention are as follows:
Preferably, adopt the interior image capture equipment of optical fiber splicer to capture and record the intensity signal of above-mentioned zone.
Preferably, the described intensity signal that captures and record above-mentioned zone comprises that all pixels to this zone transfer gray-scale value to, record this regional gray-scale value.
Preferably, in the D step, synchronously promote first optical fiber and second optical fiber moves predeterminable range.
The present invention also provides corresponding optical fiber splicer, described optical fiber splicer comprises structure of fiber_optic, the optical fiber transport portion, image capture part and control section, image capture obtains the information of welding area and is sent to control section, control section is controlled structure of fiber_optic and the motion of optical fiber transport portion, it is characterized in that: described image capture can obtain the intensity signal of welding area and occur to control section, described control section has the module that intensity signal is calculated and compares, control section is controlled the motion of optical fiber transport portion according to the variable quantity that obtains intensity signal, described control section comprises following three state: A, control first optical fiber and enter welding area, read the intensity signal variable quantity, when the intensity signal variable quantity reaches predetermined the first threshold values, stop advancing first optical fiber, B, control second optical fiber and enter welding area, read the intensity signal variable quantity, until the intensity signal variable quantity reaches predetermined the second threshold values, stop advancing second optical fiber, C, after completing, A and B advance first optical fiber and second optical fiber to move predeterminable range.

For example, when putting optical fiber well, after cover lid, at this moment, by designing requirement, optical fiber beyond the visual field in welding (or identification) zone, can guarantee by the cooperation of fixture and cutting knife, for example with cutting knife, clips the outer unnecessary part of fixture.At this moment, there is no optical fiber in identified region, the brightness of identification is a basic definite value, then, as shown in Figure 2, first promote an optical fiber, when optical fiber just enters identified region, CMOS or CCD have found the brightness variation, at this moment, we can judge that this optical fiber enters identified region, when light intensity changes or after brightness changes and reach certain threshold values, we stop this optical fiber, and we obtain identified region brightness by this.Then as shown in Figure 3, promote the optical fiber of opposite side, when it enters identified region, CMOS or CCD detect brightness to be changed, just know that optical fiber has entered identified region, when light intensity changes or after brightness changes and reach certain threshold values, at this moment due to two optical fiber all at the identified region edge, they can be preset in identified region and at a distance of a suitable distance, as shown in Figure 4.So, push away the optical fiber motor and can shift both onto a suitable distance by predeterminable range, then, user's manual alignment two optical fiber, welding optic fibre then discharges.Light path and fiber orientation groove and optical fiber itself are little on the basic impact in this location, special needs to be pointed out is simultaneously, many CMOS or CCD chip, this bright minute other ability is arranged, and the setting threshold values is arranged, the ability of degree of regulation, therefore, do not need to pay especially, for example, only the BF3003 chip of more than 30 yuan of a slice just can be realized this function.And the optical fiber splicer based on this method design, can the decrease manufacturing cost.
