Description
The present invention relates to an optical fiber automatic processing apparatus, and more particularly, to an optical fiber automatic processing apparatus capable of successively performing a composite process from supply of an optical cable to removal, washing, and cutting of the optical cable.
Generally, fiber-optic cable is a fiber-shaped waveguide for the purpose of transmitting light, and it is made of glass having high transparency, though it is made of synthetic resin.
This optical cable is composed of a double core structure by a core and a cladding surrounding the core, and the core is covered with synthetic resin two or three times.
Such an optical cable is widely used because it does not interfere or interfere with external electromagnetic waves, is difficult to tear, is small and light in weight, is resistant to bending, accommodates a large number of communication lines in one optical fiber, have.
In general, an optical cable having a form enclosed by a coating of a certain thickness must perform coating removal and optical cable cleaning and cutting processes in order to fabricate an optical cable and to make fusion splicing connection.
Specifically, conventional methods for removing the coating include a peeling method using a mechanical remover such as a stripper, a method of peeling the coating by heating with a heat source, and a chemical peeling.
In addition, when the removal process is completed, the inner core of the optical cable is wiped with alcohol or benzene cotton in the next step, or it is washed in the ultrasonic washing machine to remove the burnt residue or pressed residue, A series of processes are completed by cutting through the cutting process of cutting the inner core of the optical cable that has been cleaned.
However, there was a fundamental problem that the work was quite inconvenient and cumbersome because it had to be done manually by the operator in order to carry out such a series of tasks, and productivity was greatly reduced from the time point of view.
An object of the present invention is to provide an optical fiber automatic processing apparatus capable of successively performing a complex process from supply of an optical cable to removal, washing, and cutting of the optical cable in a single apparatus.

And a control unit for controlling operations of the cutting unit.
Here, the cutting unit includes:
A first locking portion for fixing and releasing the optical cable;
A base spaced from the first locking portion and installed to be reciprocally movable;
First transfer means for reciprocating the base;
A second locking part movably installed on the base to feed and transport the optical cable;
Second transfer means for reciprocating the second locking portion;
And a cutting unit installed on the base so as to be disposed between the first and second locking parts and cutting the optical cable through a cutter.
Here,
A body having an opening formed in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the optical cable;
A guide plate installed on the upper surface of the body and having a groove along the longitudinal direction;

A spring installed between the body and the transport block for pushing the transport block in one direction;
A knife transfer cover rotatably installed on the body so as to cover the knife and having a pusher for pressing the transfer block when opened to compress the spring;
And a cover opening means for rotating the knife transport cover.
Further, a soft material pressing member for wiping the surface of the optical cable is provided between the guide plate and the guide plate cover to prevent the optical cable from coming off the groove by pressing the optical cable.
Further, in the present invention, a first cleaning portion for wiping and discharging the optical cable from which the cover is removed is provided between the separator and the drawer.
Further, in the present invention, a tensioner that applies a constant tension to the optical cable is reinforced between the ejector and the first locking portion.
Further, in the present invention, a second cleaning portion for wiping and discharging the optical cable from which the cover is removed is provided between the ejector and the first locking portion.
According to the present embodiment, it is possible to automate a series of operations manually performed by a worker in the past, thereby maximizing the convenience of work and improving the productivity, and it is possible to produce a uniform product irrespective of the skill of the worker, Can be greatly reduced, and there is an advantage in that labor cost can be saved because it does not require a lot of manpower.
