Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a cleaning tool for cleaning silicone resin and the like on the surface of an optical fiber wire.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, as a means for removing silicone resin from optical fiber strands, an appropriate amount of conventional cotton, etc. is used,
They soaked it in alcohol solvent and removed it with their fingers. However, with this method, dirt from fingers etc. tends to adhere to the optical fiber from the cotton, making it difficult for beginners to remove the silicone resin cleanly, and the wire often breaking during removal. There were some shortcomings. Furthermore, in places where there is a lot of dust, the cotton etc. may get dirty, making the work extremely difficult.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] The technical problem of the invention is to facilitate the supply of a solvent to the cleaning part of cotton, etc., and at the same time, to overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks seen in the conventional method. To provide a cleaning tool which is easy to replace and which allows even beginners to easily and quickly remove silicone resin, etc. from the surface of an optical fiber wire through almost constant operations.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The optical fiber wire cleaning tool of the present invention for solving the above problems includes a pair of cleaning parts that can be impregnated with a solvent for removing the surface resin part of the optical fiber wire. , a solvent injection part containing a solvent to be injected into the cleaning part through a thin tube, and a pair of scissors having a sharp tip which can be inserted into each of the pair of cleaning parts in a replaceable manner at the tip of the pair of scissors; are connected in a manner that they can be opened and closed at the base to form a tweezers shape that can be manually operated, and have a scissors part to which the solvent injection part is fixed.

[Function] Hold the pair of scissors pieces connected like tweezers at the base with your fingertips, sandwich the optical fiber strand between the solvent-impregnated cleaning part at the tip of the scissor piece, and hold both the scissors pieces together. When the wire is relatively moved in the axial direction, the cleaning portion removes the resin portion and the like on the surface of the wire. Such operations are relatively simple, easy, and quick to perform, so cleaning the strands does not require any skill.

The solvent in the cleaning part can be injected from the solvent injection part through the thin tube at any time during cleaning work. When the cleaning part becomes dirty, remove it from the tip of the scissor piece and insert the scissor piece into the new cleaning part. It can be attached by inserting a sharp tip into it, and the cleaning part can be easily replaced.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

The drawings are for explaining the structure of the optical fiber wire cleaning tool of the present invention, and FIG. 1 shows a side sectional view thereof, and FIG. 2 shows a plan view thereof. In these drawings, 1 is the scissor part, 2 is the cleaning part, and 3 is the scissor part.
4 is an optical fiber, and 5 is a wire thereof.

The scissor section 1 has a pair of scissor pieces 11 and 12.
are connected in an openable/closable manner at the base 13, and the cleaning section 2 on the tip side of the scissor pieces 11 and 12 connects the optical fiber 4
The wire 5 is formed into a tweezers shape that can be pinched by manual operation. This scissor section 1 cleans the surface of the wire 5 by transmitting the pressing force of the fingers holding the scissor pieces 11 and 12 to the cleaning section 2.

Each scissor piece 11, 12 in this scissor part 1
The tip of the cleaning part 2 can be easily replaced.
Sharp blades 11a and 12a are used that can be inserted into the cleaning part 2, and are bifurcated to prevent the cleaning part 2 from easily moving after being inserted into the cleaning part 2. The pair of cleaning parts 2 attached to the tips of the scissor pieces 11 and 12 in the scissor part 1 can be attached by easily inserting the tip sharpeners 11a and 12a of the scissor pieces 11 and 12, and the pair of cleaning parts 2 can be attached to the tips of the scissor pieces 11 and 12 in the scissor part 1, respectively. It is formed by a rectangular parallelepiped fiber mass that can be easily penetrated and impregnated with an alcoholic solvent without damaging the optical fiber strand 5, and preferably felt is used.

Further, the solvent injection section 3 includes a container 31 containing an alcohol-based solvent to be supplied to the cleaning section 2 in order to remove the surface resin portion of the optical fiber 5. A lid 32 for refilling the alcohol solvent is attached to the container 31, and when pressure is applied with a finger or the like, the alcohol solvent can be injected into the center of the cleaning part 2 through a needle-like thin tube 33. It has a structure. This container 31 is fixed to a part of one of the scissor pieces 11 in the scissor part 1.

The optical fiber wire cleaning tool having the above configuration is
When holding the tweezers-like scissors 1 in your hands, sandwiching the optical fiber 5 between a pair of solvent-impregnated cleaning parts 2 and moving the two relative to each other in the axial direction of the strand 5, the strand 5 The cleaning section 2 can remove resin parts and the like on the surface of the cleaning section 2. Since such a cleaning operation is relatively simple, easy, and quick, cleaning does not require any skill, and even beginners can clean it easily. There is nothing to do.

The solvent in the cleaning section 2 is supplied from the solvent injection section 3 to the thin tube 33.
When the cleaning section 2 becomes dirty, remove it from the sharp tips 11a, 12a of the scissor pieces 11, 12, and then insert the sharp tips 11a, 12a at the tip of the scissors into a new cleaning section 2. 12a
By inserting the cleaning part 2, the cleaning part 2 can be easily replaced.

[Effects of the invention] According to the optical fiber strand cleaning tool of the present invention detailed above, the strands are pinched by the tweezers-like scissors piece with a cleaning part attached to the tip, so even beginners can easily and quickly clean the strands. It is possible to safely clean the optical fiber without damaging it. Further, not only can the solvent be easily supplied to the cleaning section during cleaning work, but also the cleaning section can be easily replaced.

The cleaning tool of the present invention can be used in various fields where it is necessary to clean optical fiber wires, and can be effectively used, for example, in places where there is a lot of coal dust, such as inside a coal mine.
