Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a multi-channel ferrule grinding apparatus, and more particularly, to a multi-channel ferrule grinding apparatus capable of simultaneously grinding a plurality of multi-channel ferrules.
Recently, due to explosive transmission capacity increase, the construction of the high-speed information communication network has been promoted as a national project. The major technology trend of the high-speed information communication network is the DWDM (Dense Wavelength Dvivision Multiplexing) optical communication network. In DWDM transmission, different wavelengths are multiplexed and transmitted in a single optical fiber, and signals are separated and demultiplexed according to wavelengths at the receiving end. Splitter and DWDM flat waveguide are core devices required for DWDM transmission.
An optical fiber array in which a plurality of optical fibers are bonded and integrated is essentially used as an input / output end connection element of a DWDM flat panel waveguide. Since the optical fiber array plays a very important role in the optical communication device, the transmission efficiency is improved by precisely manufacturing the optical fiber array.
The optical fiber arrays also function as connectors interconnected to connect the optical fibers, and the surfaces of the optical fiber arrays connected to each other require optical and precise grinding operations to minimize connection loss.
The optical polishing operation has a very precise flatness of the polishing surface so that when the optical fiber arrays and the like are connected to each other, the interface is completely in contact with each other without gaps.
Then, when the optical signal passes through the boundary surface, the roughness of the polished surface causes the optical signal to have a precise roughness so as not to cause scattering loss of the optical signal.
However, when a plurality of ferrules are simultaneously polished, the conventional ferrite polishing apparatus has difficulty in manufacturing ferrules of the same quality because the polishing surfaces have different flatness depending on the position of the ferrules to the polishing plate.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a multi-channel ferrule polishing apparatus for manufacturing a ferrule with uniform polishing quality by rotating a polishing jig equipped with a ferrule together with a polishing disk.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a multi-channel ferrule grinding apparatus including a main frame, a polishing disk rotatably installed on the main frame and provided with a polishing surface for polishing a ferrule, The polishing apparatus includes a polishing jig that is seated on a polishing surface of the polishing disc so that the ferrule can be polished by the polishing disc, a disc driving unit that rotates the polishing disc, a jig that rotates the polishing jig against the polishing disc, A cable supporting part for supporting the optical fiber cable connected to the ferrule and a carrying unit installed on the cable supporting part and supporting or conveying the cable supporting part from the polishing jig in a spaced apart manner.
The cable supporting portion includes a base member connected to the conveying unit and a supporting member supported by the optical fiber cable and rotatable relative to the base member so as to be rotated by rotation of the polishing jig.
The support member includes a plurality of support rods extending radially with respect to a rotation center of the rotary tube on an outer circumferential surface of the rotary tube so that the optical fiber cable is supported on the upper side, The optical fiber cable may further include a separation chamber provided with ends of the support rods so as to prevent the optical fiber cable from being separated from the support rods.
The cable supporting portion may further include a cable rotating member installed on the base member and rotating the supporting member in correspondence with the rotation of the polishing jig so as to prevent the optical fiber cables from being tangled by rotation of the polishing jig It is possible.
The cable support unit may further include a connection rod having both ends fixed to the polishing jig and the supporting member so that the supporting member may be rotated together with the polishing jig to prevent the optical fiber cables from being tangled by rotation of the polishing jig You may.

And a winch portion provided on the support arm for winding or releasing the support wire so as to raise and lower the cable support portion.
The support arm is rotatably installed on the support so that the ferrule having completed the polishing process can be carried to the next process.
Wherein the carrying unit comprises: a rail installed at a position spaced upward from the polishing disk; a trolley member movably installed along the rail; and a trolley member mounted on the trolley member, And a trolley driving unit connected to the trolley member by a trolley chain to drive the trolley member.
The jig driving unit includes a subframe installed in the main frame at a position adjacent to the polishing disk and a subframe disposed in the subframe at a position spaced upward from the polishing disk and adjacent to the subframe in the rotation center line direction of the polishing disk A plurality of support rollers rotatably mounted on the subarm so that an outer circumferential surface of the abrading jig is seated on the abrasive surface of the abrasive disc; And a roller rotation unit for rotating at least one of the support rollers so that the support rollers can rotate.
The multi-channel ferrule grinding apparatus according to the present invention has an advantage of improving the productivity of the ferrule because it can produce a large number of ferrules with excellent flatness and uniform polishing quality by rotating the polishing jig equipped with the ferrule together with the polishing disk .
