Large core fiber resin coating coating unit
Technical field
The utility model relates to the resin coating coating unit of a kind of large core fiber, especially big core diameter plastic-clad optical fiber.
Background technology
The typical optical fiber structure of producing comprises silica glass sandwich layer and covering at present, is coated with double-deck polyacrylic resin coating as protective layer at cladding surface.The effect of this protective layer is that the protective glass structure is avoided destroying because of physical abuse when manufacturing processed and use.Its process characteristic be quartz glass fibre after moulding, contacts with other surfaces and to apply immediately before.The quality of coat when this manufacturing process can realize more and more higher drawing speed and guarantee high-speed wire-drawing, typical drawing speed can reach 1500m/min even 2000m/min.Under the high-speed wire-drawing condition, apply the quick mobile coating of mould outlet end fiber is produced " from the centering effect ", be that coating reaches running balance and automatically optical fiber shifted onto the mould outlet central position around the optical fiber, make the resin coating of optical fiber have good concentricity.
But above-mentioned optical fiber fabrication technology and relevant device are applicable to the preparation of the special optical fiber that standard traffic optical fiber and core diameter are not too big, and are not suitable for the preparation of the especially big core diameter plastics of large core fiber covering special optical fiber.This is by the structures shape of big core diameter special optical fiber: the quartz glass fibre diameter of large core fiber is the telecommunication optical fiber of 125 μ m greater than diameter, and large core fiber diameter commonly used is 200 μ m, 400 μ m, 600 μ m, 800 μ m, 1000 μ m even reaches 1500 μ m.Big like this fibre diameter is because the restriction of prefabricated rods size and equipment can not realize high-speed wire-drawing, so the drawing speed of large core fiber is generally lower, usually is lower than 30m/min even is low to moderate 3m/min.The mould that existing preparation large core fiber is used for the resin coating coating is a steel part, and outlet is shaped as circle.Therefore when large core fiber low speed exported by steel mould, coating did not possess " from the centering effect " to the effect of optical fiber, was easy to generate that the fibre coating concentricity is poor, optical fiber and punching block frictionally damage, the uneven problem of coating.These problems not only influence the optical fiber fabrication quality, and can cause the mould of subsequent handling to stop up.
Chinese patent CN98812222.7 has announced the coating method and the coating unit of a kind of fiber optics of applicant Sumitomo Electrics Industry Ltd, having described standard 125 μ m quartz is " wet to wet " double-coating coating method and device of optical fiber, is not suitable for the manufacturing of big core diameter special optical fiber.United States Patent (USP) 5976611 has been described the coating method and the coating unit of a kind of fiber optics of applicant Sumitomo Electrics Industry Ltd, and this method and device do not relate to the concentricity problem of the optical fiber under the low speed drawing condition.United States Patent (USP) 7041334 has been described the optical fiber preparation device of the above drawing speed of a kind of 20m/sec of applicant rattan storehouse company, and this device is not suitable for the preparation of low speed large core fiber.
Summary of the invention
Technical problem to be solved in the utility model is to provide at the deficiency of above-mentioned prior art existence the resin coating coating unit of large core fiber, and not only coating quality is good for it, does not damage optical fiber, and resin-coated good concentricity.
The utility model is that the technical scheme that technical problem adopted of the above-mentioned proposition of solution is: include a housing, be installed on the guiding mould in the housing, between guiding mould and the housing bottom is the liquid coating chamber, offer the fairlead interface at the corresponding guiding in the bottom of housing mould, it is characterized in that installing the flexible formation mould at the fairlead interface.
Press such scheme, described flexible formation mould is made by silicon rubber.
Press such scheme, described flexible formation mould comprises the connecting joint that top is provided with, and the connecting joint lower end is provided with forming cone, offers shaping mold cavity in the forming cone, and the endoporus of shaping mold cavity is along circumferentially being arranged at intervals with 3~8 ribs.
Press such scheme, described rib exceeds shaping mold cavity endoporus hole wall 50~150 μ m, and the rib width is 50~200 μ m; The formed revolution of rib aperture is identical with fibre diameter.
The fine bare fibre of fusion drawn one-tenth drew straight down and enters the housing inner chamber when the utility model used, optical fiber penetrates from the guiding mould, via entering shaping mold cavity behind the liquid coating chamber coating coating, because the centering of shaping mold cavity endoporus rib effect, make optical fiber be in the endoporus center, coating is evenly distributed on the circumferential of optical fiber, after optical fiber is drawn shaping mold cavity, because the capillary effect of liquid coating, the coating rapid closing of being cut apart by rib forms even cladding optical fibre skin and the good liquid film cold coating layer of concentricity, promptly forms through ultraviolet light polymerization or thermofixation to have resin-coated large core fiber.
The beneficial effects of the utility model are: 1, adopt the flexible formation mould and at die cavity rib is set, can regulate automatically and centering, processed fibre coating is even, good concentricity, avoid common " wall partially " phenomenon, guaranteed the homogeneity and the consistence of coating; 2, the hardness of flexible formation mould is low, can not damage optical fiber, makes the optical fiber of preparation have the intensity height, and the segment length is the advantage of length, has therefore guaranteed the processing quality of optical fiber, has improved the processed finished products rate; 3, not only be easy to Installation and Debugging, also be convenient to process operation, effectively reduce the process operation difficulty, improved work efficiency.Guide the removable cleaning of the assembly back recombinant of compositions such as mould, coating chamber, shaping mould to get up to reuse simultaneously, be convenient to the care and maintenance of equipment.
