Thereby, the operator can easily touch the concavo-convex part of the upper part (or lower part) of the optical fiber.
前述凹凸部也形成於前述膠帶面之側的相反側較佳。藉此,因為容易將凹凸部旋扭,又能夠提強接觸厚度,容易識別凹凸部的圖案。 It is preferable that the said concave-convex part is also formed on the side opposite to the side of the said tape surface. Thereby, since the concavo-convex portion can be easily twisted, the contact thickness can be increased, and the pattern of the concave-convex portion can be easily recognized.

前述凹凸部的內側的表面粗度與前述凹凸部的外側的表面粗度相同也可以。因為在凹凸部的周緣有高低差,能夠以觸診識別。 The surface roughness of the inner side of the uneven portion may be the same as the surface roughness of the outer side of the uneven portion. Since there is a height difference at the periphery of the uneven portion, it can be recognized by palpation.
前述凹凸部的內側的表面粗度與前述凹凸部的外側的表面粗度不同較佳。藉此,即便前述凹凸部的周緣的高低差小也能使識別性良好。 It is preferable that the surface roughness of the inner side of the uneven portion is different from the surface roughness of the outer side of the uneven portion. Thereby, even if the height difference of the peripheral edge of the said uneven|corrugated part is small, visibility can be improved.

It is formed with an empty space, and it is preferable to satisfy L L ≧ L S +14. Thereby, the uneven|corrugated part which differs in the length in the longitudinal direction can be recognized favorably.

According to the manufacturing method of such an optical fiber tape, the concave can be reliably formed convex part.
更具有:將藉由前述紫外光硬化樹脂構成的膠帶化材,在前述光纖的周圍塗佈的工程;照射前述紫外光,使前述膠帶化材暫硬化的工程;其中,在暫硬化的前述膠帶化材的前述膠帶面之側,形成成為前述凹凸部的凹部,同時照射前述紫外光,使形成前述凹部的前述膠帶化材正式硬化較佳。藉此能夠作為凹凸部形成凹部,在凹部的緣能夠形成角,容易將凹部以觸診識別。 It also has: the process of coating the adhesive tape material made of the ultraviolet curing resin around the optical fiber; the process of irradiating the ultraviolet light to temporarily harden the adhesive tape material; wherein, in the temporarily cured adhesive tape On the side of the tape surface of the chemical material, a concave portion that becomes the concave-convex portion is formed, and at the same time, the ultraviolet light is irradiated to fully harden the tape chemical material forming the concave portion. As a result, the concave portion can be formed as the concave-convex portion, the edge of the concave portion can be formed with an angle, and the concave portion can be easily recognized by palpation.
更具有:將前述膠帶化材在前述光纖的周圍塗佈的工程;使前述膠帶化材硬化,形成前述光纖膠帶的工程;其中,在形成前述光纖膠帶之後,在前述膠帶面之側,藉由紫外光硬化樹脂形成成為前述凹凸部的凸部,同時照射前述紫外光,使前述凸部硬化較佳。藉此能夠作為凹凸部形成凸部。 It also has: the process of coating the above-mentioned tape chemical material around the optical fiber; the process of hardening the above-mentioned tape chemical material to form the above-mentioned optical fiber tape; wherein, after forming the above-mentioned optical fiber tape, on the side of the above-mentioned tape surface, by It is preferable that the ultraviolet-curable resin is formed into the convex portion to be the concave-convex portion, and the convex portion is cured by irradiating the ultraviolet light at the same time.

圖1A~圖1C為間斷連結型的光纖膠帶1的說明圖。圖1A為斜視圖、圖1B為圖1A的A-A剖面圖、圖1C為圖1A的B-B剖面圖。
1A to 1C are explanatory diagrams of the
以下的說明中,如同接下來那樣定義各方向。如圖1A~圖1C所示,將光纖膠帶1的長邊方向單稱為「長邊方向」。此外,也有將平行於將構成光纖膠帶1的複數光纖2以在長邊方向成為略平行的方式在平面上排列配置的狀態(圖1A所示的狀態)下的光纖2的方向稱為「長邊方向」的情形。又,將在圖1A所示的狀態下的複數光纖2的排列方向稱為「膠帶寬度方向(相當於寬度方向)」。又,將垂直於圖1A所示的狀態下的光纖膠帶1的膠帶面的方向稱為「膠帶厚方向」(亦即,膠帶厚方向相當於膠帶面的法線方向)。此外,膠帶面為在光纖膠帶1的表面之中,將平行於「長邊方向」及「膠帶寬度方向」的面(例如,圖1A中沿著長邊方向的各光纖2的上緣彼此(或下緣彼此)在膠帶寬度方向連結構成的面)。
In the following description, each direction is defined as follows. As shown in FIGS. 1A to 1C , the longitudinal direction of the
本實施形態的光纖膠帶1為所謂的間斷連結型(間斷固定型)的光纖膠帶。間斷連結型的光纖膠帶1為使複數光纖2並列且間斷地連結的光纖膠帶。鄰接的2芯的光纖2藉由連結部3連結。連結鄰接的2芯的光纖2的複數連結部3,在長邊方向間斷地配置。又,光纖膠帶1的複數連結部3,在長邊方向及膠帶寬度方向2維間斷地配置。連結部3在塗佈成為黏著劑(膠帶化材)的紫外光硬化樹脂後藉由照射紫外光硬化形成(後述)。此外,也可以將連結部3以熱塑性樹脂構成。鄰接的2芯的光纖2間的連結部3以外的區域成為非連結部4(分離部)。在非連結部4,鄰接的2芯的光纖2彼此未被拘束。在連結部3的膠帶寬度方向配置
非連結部4。藉此,能將光纖膠帶1捆成筒狀(束狀)、或折疊,能將多數光纖2高密度地收容
The
此外,間斷連結型的光纖膠帶1不限於圖1A所示的構成。例如,也可以變更光纖膠帶1的芯數。又,變更間斷地配置的連結部3的配置也可以。又,光纖膠帶1不限於間斷連結型的光纖膠帶,例如是所有的光纖2連結的總括被覆模也可以。
In addition, the
本實施形態的光纖膠帶1形成標記5。標記5為用來識別光纖膠帶1的標記。標記5的圖案表示識別編號(膠帶編號)。標記5在光纖膠帶1的長邊方向以預定間隔(例如15cm間隔)重複形成。在各光纖2以共通的圖案形成的標記5在膠帶寬度方向排列,構成光纖膠帶1的標記5。藉由目視該標記5的圖案能夠識別光纖膠帶1的種類。
The
但是,標記5所致的識別的情形,例如,因為在暗處難以目視標記5(識別標記),有光纖膠帶1的識別困難之虞。在此,在本實施形態中,不依靠目視而能夠識別。
However, in the case of identification by the
圖2為從第1實施形態的光纖膠帶1的長邊方向看的斜視圖。又,圖3A為圖2的X-X剖面圖、圖3B為擴大剖面圖。
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the
光纖2如圖3A所示,具有光纖裸線2A、被覆層2B、著色層2C。光纖2的直徑例如為約250μm。光纖裸線2A由核芯及包層構成。光纖裸線2A的直徑(包層徑)例如約125μm。被覆層2B為被覆光纖裸線2A之層。被覆層2B由
例如一次被覆層(主要‧塗佈)及二次被覆層(次要‧塗佈)構成。被覆層2B的直徑(外徑)例如約240μm。著色層2C為形成於被覆層2B表面的層。著色層2C藉由在被覆層2B的表面塗佈著色材形成。此外,藉由在二次被覆層(次要‧塗佈)混入著色材,將二次被覆層作為著色層也可以。在以下的說明中,「光纖2的直徑」(或纖維徑)指的是著色層2C的外徑。
As shown in FIG. 3A , the
如圖3A所示,標記5形成於被覆層2B與著色層2C之間也可以。此時,藉此,標記5越過著色層2C被辨視。因為在標記5之上(外側)形成著色層2C,標記5由著色層2C保護。標記5藉由標記用的墨水印刷。
As shown in FIG. 3A, the
本實施形態的光纖膠帶1中,如圖3A所示,在光纖2的周方向的一部分形成標記5。但是,在光纖2的周方向的全體形成標記5也可以。
In the
又,本實施形態的光纖膠帶1中,各光纖2的標記5配置於周方向的幾乎相同位置。但是,各光纖2的標記5配置於周方向的不同位置也可以。
In addition, in the
如同前述,鄰接的2條光纖2,藉由構成連結部3的膠帶化材(紫外光硬化樹脂)連結,在著色層2C的表面形成膠帶化材形成的膠帶化材層6(相當於被覆部)。亦即,標記5形成於比膠帶化材層6(被覆部)還內側。
As described above, the two adjacent
在本實施形態中,於膠帶化材層6的表面形成凹凸部(在此為凹部7)。凹凸部為在周緣具有凹凸(有高低差的段差部;凹凸的邊界部)的部位。作業者藉由接觸
凹凸部(詳細為凹凸部的周緣的段差部),作業者能夠觸診凹凸部。在本實施形態中,作為凹凸部形成凹部7。但是,如同後述,凹凸部不限於凹部7,凹凸部以凸部構成也可以。又,凹凸部的周緣的凹凸(有高低差的段差部),不在凹凸部的全部的周緣形成也可以、在凹凸部的至少一部分的周緣形成也可以(也參照後述圖14A及圖14B)。
In the present embodiment, concavo-convex portions (here, concave portions 7 ) are formed on the surface of the tape-forming
如圖3B所示,凹部7(凹凸部)的周緣的凹凸(有高低差的段差部)成為有棱角的構成,容易藉由觸覺識別凹部7。此外,在圖3B中,於凹部7(凹凸部)的周緣的凹凸(有高低差的段差部)中,上側及下側的角形成略直角,但若能藉由觸覺識別凹部7(凹凸部),不是略直角也可以、形成銳角狀或鈍角狀也可以、帶圓角也可以。
As shown in FIG. 3B , the concavities and convexities (steps with height difference) of the peripheral edge of the concave portion 7 (concave-convex portion) have an angular structure, and the
凹部7為從膠帶化材層6的表面凹陷的部位。如圖3A及圖3B所示,凹部7並非孔而是凹陷(凹槽)。藉此,因為被覆部(在此為膠帶化材層6)殘留於光纖2的表面,能夠保護光纖母線。假如,取代使其凹陷而形成孔(開口部)後,因為光纖母線會露出,與藉由被覆部(在這裡為膠帶化材層6)保護的情形相比耐久性會降低。但是,若能夠容許光纖母線的耐久性的降低,凹部7形成孔狀即可,在凹部7之底不形成被覆部(在這裡為膠帶化材層6)也可以。
The
凹部7,具有膠帶編號的識別機能,根據凹部7的長度、數量、配置等形成識別用的圖案(以下,也稱為凹圖案)。
The recessed
圖4為表示凹圖案的一例的說明圖。此外,凹圖案(凹部7),如圖3A所示,形成於光纖2的上部(或下部)。亦即,因為在膠帶面形成凹部7,作業者(以手指)能接觸凹部7。如圖4所示,在每個膠帶編號,決定凹圖案。例如,膠帶編號為4號時,長邊方向的長度短的(圖中長度LS的)凹部7空著間隔(在圖中以間隔Li)在長邊方向排列4個。又,膠帶編號為6號時,長邊方向的長度長的(圖中長度LL的)凹部7、及長邊方向的長度短的凹部7空著間隔在長邊方向排列。作業者藉由觸診這種凹圖案(凹部7),能夠以觸覺(以作業者的指尖接觸的感覺)識別光纖膠帶1,不依靠目視而能夠識別膠帶編號。因此,例如,即便在無法辨視標記5的暗處,也能夠識別光纖膠帶1。
FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a concave pattern. Further, a concave pattern (recess 7 ) is formed on the upper portion (or lower portion) of the
圖4所示,凹部7從上(膠帶厚方向)看呈矩形狀。藉此,凹部7成為有稜角的構成,容易藉由觸覺識別凹部7。此外,不限於從上看時的凹部7(凹凸部)呈矩形狀者。例如,在從上看時的凹部7(凹凸部)的周緣形成角也可以。為了藉由觸覺容易識別凹部7,從上看時的凹部7的角從銳角到直角(也就是說90度以下)較佳。但是,若能夠藉由觸覺識別凹部7(凹凸部),在從上看時的凹部7的周緣,角帶圓角也可以。
As shown in FIG. 4 , the
又,凹部7分別設於每個光纖2。假如該等凹部7不在寬度方向排列而配置,凹部7的圖案的識別變得困難。相對於此,在本實施形態中,如圖2所示,各光纖2的凹部7在膠帶寬度方向排列配置(亦即,一光纖2的凹部7與
其他光纖2的凹部7在膠帶寬度方向排列)。藉此,容易識別凹部7的圖案。此外,在本實施形態中,雖在全部的光纖2形成凹部7(凹凸部),但在全部的光纖2不形成凹部7,在一部分的光纖2形成凹部7也可以。
Moreover, the recessed
又,凹部7配置於標記5之上,在膠帶厚方向,凹部7的至少一部分與標記5重疊。藉此,作業者容易掌握應接觸的處所。但是,標記5之上無凹部7也可以(例如,在長邊方向週期配置的標記5與標記5之間形成凹部7也可以)。
Moreover, the recessed
又,凹部7配置於連結部3旁。在連結部3附近因為光纖2難以在周方向旋轉,藉由在連結部3旁配置凹部7,作業者容易接觸光纖2的上部(或下部)的凹部7。但是,在連結部3旁無凹部7也可以。
Moreover, the recessed
又,如圖3A所示,凹部7形成於光纖2的上部與下部的兩側(換句話說,於上側的凹部7的相反側配置下側的凹部7)。藉此,作業者能以2個指尖旋扭並接觸凹部7。此時,因為以2個指尖將光纖2從上下夾住,能夠加強凹部7的接觸壓,故能夠容易識別凹部7的圖案。
Also, as shown in FIG. 3A , the
又,圖3B所示的凹部7的深度d(凹凸部的周緣的高低差)較佳為3.2μm以上、更佳為4.8μm以上(參照後述的實施例)。但是,凹部7的深度d未滿膠帶化材層6的厚度Tn(本實施形態中為15~20μm)。這是因為在光纖2的周圍沒有殘留膠帶化材層6(被覆部)(假如膠帶化材層6有孔,則會使防水性降低)。
Moreover, the depth d of the recessed
又,凹部7的底面與被覆部表面(在此為膠帶化材層6的表面)其表面粗度不同較佳。又,凹部7的底面的表面粗度比被覆部(膠帶化材層6)的表面的表面粗度還粗。藉此,作業者在觸診時容易識別凹部7。此外,在本實施形態中表面粗度為「算術平均粗度Ra(JIS B0601-2001)」(因為觸診為目的,將表面粗度以最大谷深度Rv及最大高度Rz的定義不合適,故設為算術平均粗糙度Ra)。此外,在後述的實施例中,凹部7的深度d(凹凸部的周緣的高低差)為3.2μm以上時,更佳為4.8μm以上時,表示凹部7的識別性良好。但是,這是凹部7的底面的表面粗度與被覆部表面的表面粗度相同的情形。因此,凹部7的底面的表面粗度與被覆部表面的表面粗度不同時,即便凹部7的深度d(凹凸部的周緣的高低差)比3.2μm還淺,也能夠使凹部7的識別性良好。
Moreover, it is preferable that the surface roughness differs between the bottom surface of the recessed
此外,至此為止所述的特徵及效果,也能夠適用於後述的實施形態及實施例。 In addition, the features and effects described so far can also be applied to the embodiments and examples to be described later.
<實施例> <Example>
圖5為表示凹部7的識別性的評價結果的圖。
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an evaluation result of the visibility of the recessed
在該實施例中,製造將光纖2在膠帶寬度方向排列12個(12芯的)的間斷連結型光纖膠帶1並進行觸診的評價。其中,分為凹部7的深度d、寬度W、長邊方向的長度L的條件,以觸診評價是否能夠識別凹部7。又,也進行分離成單芯的狀態的評價。
In this example, the discontinuous connection type
此外,凹部7的深度d與寬度W的尺寸,以顯微鏡觀察長邊方向的垂直剖面(圖3B參照),分別在複數位置測定膠帶化材層6的厚度Tn與凹部7的底部的厚度Ta(N:2~4)測定,以以下的式(1)、式(2)算出。
In addition, the dimensions of the depth d and the width W of the
其中,r為光纖2的半徑(亦即D/2)。 where r is the radius of the fiber 2 (ie D/2).
接著,在圖5的各條件中,進行10次以觸診是否能夠識別的評價,計數能夠識別的次數,將識別成功次數90%以上作為合格(○)。又,將識別成功次數10%以上未滿90%作為△、將識別成功次數0%作為×。 Next, in each condition of FIG. 5 , the evaluation of whether or not the recognition was possible by palpation was performed 10 times, the number of times of recognition was counted, and 90% or more of the recognition success times were regarded as pass (◯). In addition, the number of times of recognition success is 10% or more and less than 90% is defined as Δ, and the number of times of recognition success 0% is defined as ×.
在圖5中,凹部7的深度d為1.4μm時,雖然即便比較大的凹部7(具體來說,W為95.2μm、L為10mm的凹部7)也無法識別,但深度d為3.2μm時,在比其還小的凹部7(例如,W為51.9μm、L為5μm的凹部7)識別成功數次(識別性變高)。因此,凹部7的深度d為3.2μm以上較佳。又,深度d為4.8μm以上時,識別性會變更高。具體來說,長度L為5mm以上的凹部7,在膠帶狀中得到識別性為90%以上的良好結果。因此,深度d為4.8μm以上更佳。
In FIG. 5 , when the depth d of the
又,從圖5的評價結果,得知在單芯的識別性,比膠帶狀(光纖膠帶1的識別性還稍微低(識別稍微困難)。不過,深度d為6.9μm以上及長度L為1mm以上時,在膠帶狀及單芯的任一者中都得到了識別性為90%以上的良
好結果。
Furthermore, from the evaluation results in FIG. 5 , it can be seen that the visibility of the single core is slightly lower than that of the tape type (
圖6A及圖6B為表示凹部7所致的圖案(凹圖案)的識別性的評價結果的圖。具體來說,圖6A及圖6B為表示在長邊方向排列的凹部7的長度與間隔所致的識別性的評價結果的圖。此外,前述的圖5表示凹部7(單體)的識別性的評價結果,相對於此在圖6A及圖6B中,表示藉由凹部7形成的圖案(凹圖案)的識別性的評價結果。
6A and 6B are diagrams showing evaluation results of the visibility of the pattern (concave pattern) by the
如同前述,圖4的各凹部7之中將長邊方向的長度短的凹部7的長邊方向的長度設為LS(mm)、長邊方向的長度長的凹部7的長邊方向的長度設為LL(mm)。又,將鄰接長邊方向的凹部7的間隔設為Li(mm)。接著,分為長度LS、長度LL、間隔Li的條件進行識別性的評價。此外,在此也使用將光纖2在膠帶寬度方向排列12個的(12芯的)間斷連結型的光纖膠帶1,在各光纖2的膠帶寬度方向排列相同圖案形成。因此,凹部7的深度d都設為10μm以上。
As described above, among the
評價的次數及識別成功的判斷與圖5的情形相同(亦即,根據各條件進行10次評價,因應識別成功的次數設為○、△、×)。 The number of evaluations and the judgment of successful recognition are the same as in the case of FIG. 5 (that is, 10 evaluations are performed according to each condition, and the number of times of successful recognition is set to ○, Δ, and ×).
圖6A表示在圖4的第2~4號的圖案中,變更凹部7的長邊方向的長度L(在這裡為LS)與間隔Li時的識別性的評價結果。如圖6A所示,相對於長度LS,間隔Li大14mm以上時,得到能夠良好識別的結果。因此,間隔Li比長度LS還大14mm以上(滿足Li≧LS+14)較佳。藉此,能夠良好地識別在長邊方向空著間隔排列的凹部7。此外,
至此所述的特徵及效果,也能夠適用於後述的實施形態及實施例。
6A shows the evaluation results of the visibility when the length L (here, L S ) and the interval L i in the longitudinal direction of the recessed
又,圖6A表示在圖4的6號的圖案中,變更長度LS與長度LL時的識別性的評價結果。如圖6B所示,相對於長度LS,長度LL大14mm以上時,得到能夠良好識別的結果。因此,長度LL比長度LS還大14mm以上(滿足LL≧LS+14)較佳。藉此,能夠良好地識別長邊方向的長度不同的凹部7。此外,至此所述的特徵及效果,也能夠適用於後述的實施形態及實施例。
6A shows the evaluation results of the visibility when the length L S and the length LL are changed in the pattern No. 6 in FIG. 4 . As shown in FIG. 6B , when the length L L is larger than the length L S by 14 mm or more, a result that can be recognized well was obtained. Therefore, the length L L is preferably greater than the length L S by 14 mm or more (satisfying L L ≧ L S +14). Thereby, the recessed

圖7A為製造光纖膠帶1的製造系統100的說明圖。圖7B及圖7C為膠帶化裝置40的說明圖。其中,為了圖式的簡略化,說明關於4芯的光纖膠帶的製造系統100。
FIG. 7A is an explanatory diagram of a
製造系統100具有:纖維供應部10、印刷裝置20、著色裝置30、膠帶化裝置40、滾筒50。
The
纖維供應部10為供應光纖2至印刷裝置20的裝置(供應源)。其中,纖維供應部10供應單芯的光纖2(由光纖裸線2A及被覆層2B形成的光纖;形成著色層2C前的光纖)至印刷裝置20。
The
印刷裝置20為在光纖2印刷標記5的裝置。例如,印刷裝置20將表示膠帶編號的標記5分別印刷至各光纖2。藉由印刷裝置20施加標記的複數光纖2,供應至著色裝置30。
The
著色裝置30為形成光纖2的著色層2C的裝置。著色裝置30對各光纖2,藉由用來識別光纖2的識別色形成著色層2C。具體來說,著色裝置30在各光纖2分別具有著色部(未圖示),各著色部將預定識別色的著色劑(紫外光硬化樹脂)塗佈至光纖2的表面(被覆層2B的表面)。又,著色裝置30具有紫外光照射部(未圖示),紫外光照射部對在光纖2塗佈的著色劑(紫外光硬化樹脂)照射紫外光,使著色劑硬化。藉此,形成著色層2C。藉由著色裝置30著色的光纖2供應至膠帶化裝置40。此外,從纖維供應部10供應著色完的光纖2至膠帶化裝置40也可以。
The
膠帶化裝置40為連結複數光纖2製造光纖膠帶1的裝置。在此,膠帶化裝置40為將連結部3間斷地形成,製造間斷連結型的光纖膠帶1的裝置。但是,膠帶化裝置40製造的光纖膠帶1不限於間斷連結型的光纖膠帶1。在膠帶化裝置40供應於膠帶寬度方向排列的複數光纖2。製造間斷連結型的光纖膠帶1的膠帶化裝置40時,膠帶化裝置40,如圖7B及圖7C所示,具有塗佈部41、除去部42、光源43、凹部形成部44。此外,圖7B及圖7C所示的膠帶化裝置40表示膠帶化裝置的一例。膠帶化裝置不限於圖7B及圖7C所示者。
The
塗佈部41為塗佈連結劑(膠帶化材)的裝置。連結劑例如為紫外光硬化樹脂,藉由連結劑硬化形成連結部3。塗佈部41藉由在填充液狀連結劑的塗佈模具插通複數光纖2,遍及長邊方向,於光纖2的外周或鄰接光纖2之
間塗佈液狀連結劑。
The
除去部42為將由塗佈部41塗佈的連結劑的一部分殘留,並除去一部分的裝置。除去部42具有具備欠缺部421A的旋轉刃421(圖7B參照),一致於光纖2的供應速度使旋轉刃421旋轉。由塗佈部41塗佈的連結劑,藉由旋轉刃421的外緣攔阻而除去,但在旋轉刃421的欠缺部421A會殘留連結劑。此外,連結劑殘留的部位成為連結部3(圖1參照),連結劑被除去部位成為非連結部4。因此,藉由調整旋轉刃421的旋轉速度及欠缺部421A的大小,能夠調整連結部3的長度及配置。此外,例如,硬化後切斷形成連結部與非連結部、或在應成為連結部的位置以點膠機等塗佈樹脂時,不需要除去部。
The removing
光源43為對以紫外光硬化樹脂構成的連結劑照射紫外光的裝置。光源43具有暫硬化用光源43A、正式硬化用光源43B。暫硬化用光源43A配置於比正式硬化用光源43B還上游側。連結劑若從暫硬化用光源43A照射紫外光後會暫硬化。暫硬化的連結劑雖非完全硬化,但表面呈硬化進行的狀態。正式硬化用光源43B照射比暫硬化用光源43A還強的紫外光使連結劑正式硬化。正式硬化的紫外光硬化樹脂,成為到內部硬化的狀態(但是,正式硬化的連結劑(連結部3)具有適度的彈性,能將間斷連結型的光纖膠帶1捆成筒狀)。
The
如圖7C所示,從塗佈部41及除去部42取出之後的光纖2,相互空出間隔也可以。在該狀態下暫硬化用
光源43A對連結劑照射紫外光,使連結劑暫硬化。膠帶化裝置40在連結劑的暫硬化後,光纖2的間隔漸變窄,將複數光纖2並列集線成膠帶狀。此外,因為連結劑暫硬化,即便連結劑被暫時除去的部分(非連結部4)彼此接觸,也不會連結。又,因為是正式硬化前,在以連結劑連結的區域也能使光纖2的間隔變窄(集線)。若正式硬化用光源43B照射紫外光而連結劑正式硬化,則製造圖1所示的間斷連結型的光纖膠帶1。此外,因應製造的光纖膠帶1,不將光纖2集線也可以。
As shown in FIG. 7C , the
凹部形成部44,如圖7B所示,配置於正式硬化用光源43B與暫硬化用光源43A之間,具有一對滾輪441。在一對滾輪441的外周分別設置突出至外側的凸部442。凸部442設為與凹部7對應的形狀。
As shown in FIG. 7B , the recessed
以暫硬化用光源43A暫硬化的連結劑(膠帶化材),在通過正式硬化用光源43B之前(正式硬化之前),以一對滾輪441夾持。接著,藉由一對滾輪441的凸部442按壓膠帶面之側(上部及下部),在膠帶化材形成凹部7。亦即,使連結劑(膠帶化材)暫硬化後,於正式硬化前形成凹部7。
The coupling agent (tape chemical material) temporarily cured by the
假如在暫硬化前形成凹部7後,凹部7的周緣的段差部(凹凸的邊界部)會帶圓角(換句話說,凹部7的周緣的段差部的高低差會變小),觸診時變得難以識別凹部7。又,假如在正式硬化後形成凹部7,因為連結劑(膠帶化材)已固化,無法將凹部7深深地形成。相對於此,在本
實施形態中,因為在暫硬化之後,正式硬化之前形成凹部7,能夠使凹部7的周緣的段差部明確地形成,容易將凹部7以觸診識別。但是,若是能夠形成能識別的凹部7,未必要在暫硬化與正式硬化之間形成凹部7,例如,在暫硬化前形成凹部7、或在正式硬化後形成凹部7也可以。

圖8為第2實施形態的光纖膠帶1的說明圖。圖8中省略標記5的圖示。以下的說明中,省略與第1實施形態相同構成的說明,主要說明關於與第1實施形態不同的構成。第2實施形態的光纖膠帶1,具備複數在長邊方向連續連結的2串光纖2之對(纖維對2P)(在此為6對),鄰接的纖維對2P之間以連結部3間斷地連結。因此,藉由將2串纖維對2P間斷地連結,構成間斷連結型的光纖膠帶1也可以。
FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram of the
圖9為第3實施形態的光纖膠帶1的說明圖。以下的說明中,省略與第1、第2實施形態相同構成的說明,主要說明關於與第1、第2實施形態不同的構成。第3實施形態的光纖膠帶1為總括被覆型,複數(在此為4條)光纖2的周圍以膠帶化材(膠帶化材層6)總括被覆。
FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram of the
在這種總括被覆型的光纖膠帶1形成凹部7也可以。此時,總括被覆的膠帶化材相當於被覆部,在膠帶化材(膠帶化材層6)的膠帶面之側形成凹部7。
The
圖10為第4實施形態的光纖2的說明圖。以下的說明中,省略與第1~第3實施形態相同構成的說明,主要說明關於與第1~第3實施形態不同的構成。在第4實施形態中,不進行膠帶化,在單芯的光纖2(以下,也稱為單芯纖維2)的表面形成凹部7。藉此,在單芯纖維2形成凹部7也可以。此外,此時,單芯纖維2的著色層2C相當於被覆部,在著色層2C形成凹部7。又,藉由製造具備複數單芯纖維2的光纖膠帶,與其他實施形態的光纖膠帶一樣,構成觸診所能識別的光纖膠帶也可以。

圖11為第5實施形態的光纖膠帶1的說明圖。在圖11中,與圖3相同構成的部分附加相同符號,將說明省略。以下的說明中,省略與第1~第4實施形態相同構成的說明,主要說明關於與第1~第4實施形態不同的構成。在第5實施形態中,作為凹凸部形成凸部8。凸部8從光纖2的膠帶化材層6的表面突出形成。藉由設置這種凸部8,與凹部7的情形一樣,能夠藉由觸診識別。此外,凸部8的段差部的高度(高低差),能夠由從凸部8中的膠帶化材層6的厚度
減去凸部8位外的部位的膠帶化材層6的厚度(圖3B的Tn)求出。
FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram of the
圖12A為製造第5實施形態的光纖膠帶1的製造系統200的說明圖。此外,在圖12A中,與圖7A相同構成的部分附加相同符號,將說明省略。

製造系統200具備膠帶化裝置40'與凸部形成裝置60。
The
膠帶化裝置40'採用例如與前述膠帶化裝置40幾乎同樣的構成也可以。但是,膠帶化裝置40'不具備凹部形成部44。膠帶化裝置40'使膠帶化材硬化形成光纖膠帶1,將光纖膠帶1供應至凸部形成裝置60。
The
凸部形成裝置60為在經膠帶化的光纖膠帶1(複數光纖2)形成凸部8的裝置,設於比膠帶化裝置40'還靠搬送方向的下游側(膠帶化裝置40'與滾筒50之間)。

圖12B為凸部形成裝置60的構成的說明圖。圖中,示出從印刷滾輪63的旋轉軸的軸方向看時的凸部形成裝置60的概略構成。凸部形成裝置60具備液槽61、供應滾輪62、凸部形成滾輪63、刮刀刃64、搬送機構65、硬化裝置66。
FIG. 12B is an explanatory diagram of the configuration of the convex

<第1變形例> <1st Variation>
圖13為第1變形例的凹凸部的擴大剖面圖。在第1變形例中,於膠帶化材層6的表面,作為凹凸部形成凹部7。第1變形例的凹部7無底面。換句話說,在第1變形例的凹部7,未形成在周方向平行的面。但是,在第1變形例的凹部7中,因為也在凹部7的周緣形成凹凸(有高低差的段差部;凹凸的邊界部),作業者能夠觸診凹部7。藉此,如圖13所示形成凹凸部也可以。
FIG. 13 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a concavo-convex portion according to the first modification. In the first modification, the
<第2變形例> <Second modification>
圖14A及圖14B為第2變形例的凹凸部的說明圖。圖14A為從膠帶寬度方向看的第2變形例的凹部7的擴大圖。圖14B為從長邊方向看的第2變形例的凹部7的擴大剖面圖(圖14A的A-A剖面圖)。第2變形例中,如圖14A所示,在凹部7的長邊方向的端部的周緣7A(與寬度方向平行的周緣)形成凹凸(有高低差的段差部;凹凸的邊界部)。另一方面,在第2變形例中,如圖14B所示,在凹部7的膠帶寬度方向的端部的周緣7A(與長邊方向平行的周緣)未形成凹凸。因此,在第2變形例中,未在凹部7的全部周緣形成凹凸,在凹部7的一部分的周緣形成凹凸也可以。但是,在第2變形例中,因為凹部7的周緣形成凹凸(有高低差的段差部;凹凸的邊界部),作業者能夠觸診凹部7。此外,因
為作業者在觸診凹凸部時使手指沿著光纖2滑動,如同第2變形例,在凹部7的長邊方向的端部的周緣7A(與寬度方向平行的周緣)形成凹凸(有高低差的段差部;凹凸的邊界部)後,作業者容易識別凹凸部。

圖15A為第3變形例的凹凸部的說明圖。第3變形例中,沿長邊方向形成複數(在此為2個)凹凸部,複數凹凸部以凹部7與凸部8的組合構成。藉此,組合凹部7與凸部8構成凹凸部的圖案也可以。如同第3變形例,藉由組合凹部7與凸部8構成凹凸部的圖案,能夠增加圖案的種類。

圖15B為別的第3變形例的凹凸部的說明圖。與圖15A一樣,沿長邊方向形成複數(在此為2個)凹凸部,複數凹凸部以凹部7與凸部8的組合構成。因此,圖15B所示的情形也一樣,藉由組合凹部7與凸部8構成凹凸部的圖案,能夠增加圖案的種類。再來,其中,凹部7與凸部8在長邊方向鄰接配置。其結果,在凹部7與凸部8的邊界部,形成大的高低差的段差部。此外,藉由將凹部7與凸部8在長邊方向鄰接配置,因為能夠在凹部7與凸部8的邊界部成大的凹凸(有高低差的段差部),作業者容易識別凹凸部。
15B is an explanatory diagram of a concavo-convex portion of another third modification. As in FIG. 15A , plural (here, two) concave-convex portions are formed along the longitudinal direction, and the plural concave-convex portions are constituted by a combination of the
