PORTABLE OPTICAL FIBER END FACE POLISHER

摘要

The present invention provides a portable optical fiber end face polisher that has a probe, a shuttle, a cover and a resilient actuator. The probe has a driving shaft holding a pin having two through holes. The shuttle holds the driving shaft, a supplying reel and a spooling reel. The cover guides the driving shaft to rotate axially and draws a cleaning medium from the supplying reel to pass through the through holes across a probing face of the pin to the spooling reel. The resilient actuator is mounted between a stopping base of the cover and the shuttle to recover the relative positions of the shuttle and the cover.

1. A portable optical fiber end face polisher comprising
a probe comprising
a driving shaft comprising
a first end;a second end opposite to the first end; anda guiding protrusion radially protruding from the driving shaft; anda pin mounted to the driving shaft and comprising
a point portion protruding from the first end of the driving shaft and comprising
a probing face; andtwo through holes defined through the point portion, each forming an opening on the probing face; a shuttle mounted to the second end of the driving shaft and comprising
a supplying reel and a spooling reel rotatably mounted to the shuttle in parallel and each comprising
an axle comprising
a side surface and two ends;two holding plates radially extending respectively from the axle and each comprising
an inner surface attached to one end of the ends of the axle andan outer surface, andtwo toothed-wheels respectively coaxial to the axles of the supplying reel and the spooling reel and respectively attached to the outer surfaces of the holding plates and each comprising
a series of circumferentially formed unidirectional teeth, wherein the two toothed-wheels are of identical shape, teeth number and teeth orientation;a driving disc comprising
a detent face engaging a toothed-wheel of the spooling reel;a driving face opposite to the detent face; anda driving protrusion eccentrically protruding from the driving face; a cover mounted to the shuttle, securing the supplying reel and the spooling reel and comprising
a spiral slot coaxial to an axis of the probe and receiving the guiding protrusion of the driving shaft;a driving hole receiving the driving protrusion of the driving disc; anda stopping base engaging the shuttle; and a resilient actuator mounted between the stopping base and the shuttle.
