Abstract

PURPOSE:To detect the disconnection of a power transmitting fiber by the change of the reflected light from a plastic fiber, by arranging two transmitting and receiving plastic fibers opposed to a reflection mirror at the terminal ends thereof along the power transmitting fiber. CONSTITUTION:Two plastic fibers 3a, 3b are arranged along a power transmitting fiber 2 and reference light 4 is incident to the plastic fiber 3a. The reference light is reflected by the reflective surface 5 provided at the terminal end sides of both fibers and the reflected light 6 passes through the plastic fiber 3b to be received by a detector 7. When the adjacent power transmitting fiber is disconnected, the temp. in the vicinity of the welded part 8 thereof reaches several 100 deg.C or more and the low m.p. plastic fibers 3a, 3b are melted. The reflected light 6 of the reference light 4 is lost and the disconnection of the power transmitting fiber 2 can be known by the output change of the detector 7.
