Specific embodiment
The present invention program is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
The device of the helium consumption of cooling tube 8 is reduced in the optical fiber production process that the present embodiment is provided, is connected with cooling tube 8. The device is mainly made up of fibre diameter measurement head 1, the upper connector 3 of mobile platform connecting bracket 2, disc-shaped and flexible pipe, Referring to Fig. 1.One end of flexible pipe is connected with cooling tube 8, and the other end is connected by upper connector 3 with mobile platform connecting bracket 2.Move Moving platform connecting bracket 2 is affixed with fibre diameter measurement head 1.The periphery of upper connector 3 is provided with the step of annular, mobile platform connection Support 2 is provided with step surface corresponding with step with the contact site of connector.In optical fiber production process, optical fiber passes through fibre diameter Measurement head 1.Under original state, the axial location of optical fiber is in the center of the axial direction of fibre diameter measurement head 1.Mobile platform branch Frame is communicated to connect with fibre diameter measurement head 1.This example flexible pipe uses corrugated flexible hose 5.
The middle part of upper connector 3 is provided with hole of the diameter less than the radius of cooling tube 8.In the present embodiment, the Kong Weiyi taper holes, A diameter of 10mm of cooling tube 8, a diameter of 4mm in hole, as shown in Figure 1.The outer wall of upper connector 3 is connected branch with mobile platform The spacing of the inwall of frame 2 is 3-5mm.
In order to avoid optical fiber and the edge grazing in above-mentioned hole, the position of the continuous detection fiber of fibre diameter measurement head 1, and Send the signal with fiber position information.Mobile platform support is produced after the signal that fibre diameter measurement head 1 sends is received Corresponding with signal displacement, it is ensured that optical fiber navigates within the center of fibre diameter measurement head 1 all the time, with fiber position Movement and constantly move, and then drive it is upper connector 3 is moved, flexible pipe produces a certain degree of deformation immediately, alleviate, it is ensured that The safety in production of optical fiber.Sealing is connected through a screw thread between lower connector 7 and cooling tube 8, lower connector 7 does not have with cooling tube 8 There is relative displacement.
While fibre diameter measurement head 1 and upper connector 3 are moved, in order to avoid upper connector 3 directly with cooling Pipe 8 is affixed and carry rigid power, the present embodiment is additionally arranged corrugated flexible hose 5 and the lower connector 7 being attached thereto, will Corrugated flexible hose 5 is connected by lower connector 7 with cooling tube 8, has effectively acted as the cushioning effect of power.
On the other hand, the two ends of flexible pipe are respectively correspondingly affixed with upper connector 3, lower connector 7 by a clip 6, And sealing ring 4 is respectively provided with the corresponding clip 6 realizes that flexible pipe and upper connector 3, lower connector 7 are tightly connected, prevent Helium produces the phenomenon of waste because of leakage.
Through experiment, in the case where process conditions are certain:The diameter of bore 10mm of cooling tube 8, the length of cooling tube 8 1.2m, quantity 8, by 18 DEG C of the temperature of the cooling water of cooling tube 8, the speed of drawing optical fibers production is 2000m/min, is not increased When the moral that adds helium saves device:The usage amount of helium is 6L/min in the case of optical fiber steady production, increases helium and saves device Afterwards:The usage amount of helium is 3L/min in the case of optical fiber steady production.As seen from the above, the device can both reduce helium The leakage rate of gas, saves helium, also ensure that the security in optical fiber production process.
