Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In the present invention, an insertion hole for a guide pin (hereinafter referred to as “guide pin insertion hole”) for inserting a guide pin used for positioning a butt connection between optical fiber connectors (optical connectors) and an optical fiber are arranged. The present invention relates to an inspection apparatus for optical fiber insertion holes (hereinafter referred to as “fiber insertion holes”). In this specification, the term “optical connector” refers to ferrules that connect optical fibers through optical guides between optical fibers or between optical fibers and substrates, as well as optical fiber end surfaces using guide pins. As long as it can be connected, it also includes what is called a plug.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As shown in FIG. 5, as an optical connector for connecting a plurality of optical fibers at once, there are two, four, or more fiber insertion holes 100a for arranging each end face of the optical fiber on the front end face. An optical connector (MT type optical connector) 100 called a ferrule (or plug) is used. The optical connector 100 includes guide pin insertion holes 100b formed along the axial direction in the vicinity of the respective side portions so that the end surfaces of the optical fibers facing each other can be easily matched. In this optical connector 100, a guide pin 110 is disposed so that a part thereof protrudes from the front end surface, and the guide pin 110 is inserted into a guide pin insertion hole 100b formed in the other optical connector 100 facing the other. The end faces of the optical fibers can be accurately matched.
[0003]
At this time, if the guide pins 110 inserted and arranged between the pair of optical connectors 100 are easily removed from the guide pin insertion holes 100b, there is a backlash between the guide pin insertion holes 100b and the guide pins 110. Therefore, the positional deviation (bonding error) between the end faces of the optical fibers increases. Moreover, after joining each optical connector 100 via the guide pin 110, the clip 120 provided with the engagement piece at each end is bridged between the outer end portions of each optical connector 100 so that the two are not easily separated. However, if the guide pin 110 is easily removed from the guide pin insertion hole 110b before the clip 120 is disposed, it is difficult to perform the connection operation. On the contrary, when the guide pin 110 is difficult to insert, such as when the guide pin insertion hole 110b has a small diameter, it is difficult to perform the operation. When the guide pin 110 is forcibly inserted, it is formed with extremely high outer diameter accuracy. There is a possibility that the guide pin 110 being bent is bent, and the joining error between the end faces of the optical fibers is increased. In addition, when the fiber insertion hole 100a in which the optical fiber is inserted and arranged has a backlash of a predetermined amount or more between the optical fiber to be inserted, the positional deviation (joining error) between the end faces of the optical fibers becomes large.
[0004]
For this reason, the guide pin insertion hole 100b and the fiber insertion hole 100a of the optical connector 100 molded from synthetic resin or the like are not too loose and not too tight when inserting the guide pin 110 or the optical fiber. It is necessary that the resistance (fitting force) when inserting and removing the optical fiber is within a predetermined range.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Conventionally, the above-described fitting force of the guide pin insertion hole or the fiber insertion hole is obtained by inserting a predetermined amount of a gauge pin for inspection into the guide pin insertion hole or the fiber insertion hole of the optical connector to be inspected, and applying a predetermined weight to the gauge pin. The weight member is suspended and supported for inspection. For example, when inspecting a guide pin insertion hole having a diameter of 0.7 mm, a gauge pin having a diameter of 0.6990 mm (diameter accuracy ± 0.1 μm) is used, and a weight member of 50 g and a weight member of 100 g are suspended, The 50 g weight member is required to have a fitting force that does not come out of the guide pin insertion hole but can come out of the guide pin insertion hole when the 100 g weight member is suspended. However, all these measurements have been performed manually in the past, and an operator holds the optical connector in the air and suspends the weight member in that state. For this reason, the inspection work was troublesome. The fitting force described above can be accurately measured by inserting the gauge pin straight and perpendicularly to the guide pin insertion hole or fiber insertion hole of the optical connector and suspending the weight member. Due to the manual work, the holding posture of the optical connector is not always constant, and there is room for improvement in terms of the accuracy of the inspection work.
[0006]
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and can facilitate the work at the time of inspecting the resistance (fitting force) of the guide pin insertion hole and the fiber insertion hole, and can improve the inspection accuracy of the fitting force. It is an object of the present invention to provide an optical connector insertion hole inspection device that can be improved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, an optical connector insertion hole inspection apparatus of the present invention will be described based on the embodiments shown in the drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the insertion hole inspection apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment includes an optical connector holding portion 30, a weight member 40, a weight member support portion 50, and an operating portion provided on the base 20. 60.
[0009]
The optical connector holding unit 30 includes a support column 31 protruding above the base 20 formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, and an arm member 32. The support column 31 may be provided so as to stably support the weight member 40 suspended through the arm member 32, and the shape and thickness thereof are not limited. The arm member 32 is supported by the support column 31. In this embodiment, the base end portion 32 d is fixed to the upper end of the support column 32 and supported, and the weight member disposed in front of the support column 32 on the base 20. It is provided so as to extend horizontally toward the upper position of the support 50 for use. Needless to say, the arm member 32 may be formed integrally with the column 31, and the base 20 and the column 31 may also be formed integrally.
[0010]
The arm member 32 is provided with a slit 32a cut in the depth direction from the front end. As in this embodiment, the slit 32a may be formed by using two rod-shaped members 32b and 32c as the arm member 32 and arranging them in opposition to each other at a predetermined interval. Two rod-shaped members may be formed by cutting out from the front end. In any case, the slit 32a is formed with a ferrule 100 as an optical connector to be inspected, provided with a body portion 101, and a flange portion 102 provided at the rear end of the body portion 101 and projecting outward. (Refer to FIG. 5), the guide pin insertion hole 100b formed on each side of the body portion 101 along the axial direction or the opening end of the fiber insertion hole 100a formed through the end face is directed downward. Thus, when the body portion 101 is turned sideways, that is, when the guide pin insertion hole 100b or the fiber insertion hole 100a is inserted and arranged in a line along the slit 32a, the flange portion 102 forms the slit 32a. It is caught at the rod-shaped members 32b and 32c, and is formed at an interval at which the side surface of the body portion 101 does not contact the inner surfaces of the rod-shaped members 32b and 32c. Thereby, the ferrule 100 can be vertically supported in a suspended state.
[0011]
The weight member 40 includes a shaft body 41 disposed along the center line of the weight member 40 and cylindrical weights 42 and 43 supported by the shaft body 41. The shaft body 41 is made of a rod-shaped member as shown in FIG. 4, and a gauge pin 45 that protrudes vertically upward is provided at the center of the upper end.
[0012]
The cylindrical weights 42 and 43 are formed with insertion holes through which the shaft body 41 is inserted in the center, and are detachably disposed around the shaft body 41. The number of cylindrical weights 42 and 43 that can be disposed on the shaft body 41 can be arbitrarily set depending on the length of the shaft body 41 and the relationship between the cylindrical weights 42 and 43, but in the present embodiment, two can be disposed. The weight at the time of inspection can be adjusted by adjusting the number of arrangements.
[0013]
Here, when the gauge pin 45 is used for the inspection of the guide pin insertion hole, for example, one having a diameter of about 0.6990 mm (diameter accuracy ± 0.1 μm) is used, and when used for the inspection of the fiber insertion hole. A diameter of about 0.125 mm (diameter accuracy ± 0.1 μm) is used. That is, as the gauge pin 45, a pin having an extremely high precision diameter is used. For this reason, when the cylindrical weights 42 and 43 are mounted around the shaft body 41, when the gauge pin 45 is inserted from the upper end at which the cylindrical pin 42 is protruded, the gauge pins 45 come into slight contact with each other, The diameter accuracy of the gauge pin 45 is lowered. Therefore, the shaft body 41 and the cylindrical weights 42 and 43 are preferably configured such that the cylindrical weights 42 and 43 can be relatively inserted from the lower end of the shaft body 41. That is, when the cylindrical weights 42, 43 are mounted around the shaft body 41, a stopper for preventing the removal is necessary. The stopper is provided from the lower end of the cylindrical weights 42, 43 to the shaft body 41. It is preferable to adopt a configuration that allows insertion of the stopper and that can be engaged by the stopper after insertion.
[0014]
The stopper used when attaching the cylindrical weights 42 and 43 to the shaft body 41 is not limited as long as it has the above function, and may have any configuration. In the present embodiment, as the shaft body 41, a part of the peripheral surface is formed in a flat shape or a concave surface shape (hereinafter referred to as “flat surface 41a”) along the axial direction, and an appropriate portion near the lower end of the shaft body 41 is formed. Is formed with a lateral groove 41b communicating with the flat surface 41a (see FIG. 4 (d)), and a cylindrical weight 43 disposed on the lower side is provided with a pin 43a as a stopper protruding into the inner peripheral hollow portion. (See FIGS. 4A, 4C, and 4D). Therefore, when mounting on the shaft body 41, first, the cylindrical weight 42 disposed on the upper side is inserted from the lower end of the shaft body 41, and then the cylindrical weight 43 disposed on the lower side is inserted into the inner circumference. The pin 43 a protruding in the hollow portion is positioned so that the circumferential position of the pin 43 a faces the flat surface 41 a of the shaft body 41 and is inserted from the lower end of the shaft body 41. Then, when the appropriate position is reached, the cylindrical weight 43 is rotated, and the pin 43 a is engaged with the lateral groove 41 b of the shaft body 41. Of course, this is only an example. For example, a pin serving as a stopper protrudes from the lower end of the shaft body 41 in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction, and the cylindrical weights 42 and 43 have longitudinal grooves that allow the passage of the pin. When the inner circumferential surface is formed along the axial direction and a lateral groove communicating with the longitudinal groove is formed along the circumferential direction near the lower end of the inner circumferential surface, and a predetermined amount of cylindrical weights 42 and 43 are inserted. , The pin can be inserted into the transverse groove and engaged.
[0015]
The shaft body 41 and the cylindrical weights 42 and 43 are engaged by the stoppers when the cylindrical weights 42 and 43 are supported in a plurality, and the cylindrical weights 42 and 43 are engaged by the pins as the stoppers. However, it is sufficient that only the cylindrical weight arranged at the lowermost side is engaged, thereby simplifying the structure (shape) of the other cylindrical weights. Can be
[0016]
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the weight member support portion 50 includes a plate-like body 51 and a vertical movement shaft 52 that supports the plate-like body 51. The plate-like body 51 is provided so as to be positioned in front of the above-described support portion 31. The upper surface of the plate-like body 51 can contact the lower surface of the weight member 40 (the lower surface of the cylindrical weight 43 disposed on the lower side). The vertical movement shaft 52 is provided in the vicinity of each side portion of the plate-like body 51, and a part thereof is embedded and supported in the base 20, and is provided so as to be able to extend vertically.
[0017]
The plate-like body 51 of the weight member support portion 50 is provided with positioning members 51a and 51b made of two rod-like or pin-like members protruding from the upper surface. The positioning members 51 a and 51 b are disposed at a predetermined distance from each other at a position near the rear of the plate-like body 51. The ferrule 100 as an optical connector includes the weight member 40 (cylindrical weight) on the plate-like body 51 of the weight member support portion 50 with the guide pin insertion hole or the fiber insertion hole inserted into the gauge pin 45 of the weight member 40. 43) is inserted into the slit 32a of the arm member 32 while sliding the lower surface of 43). When the positioning members 51a and 51b described above are arranged in this manner, the operator simply pushes the cylindrical weights 42 and 43 of the weight member 40 from the front until they contact both the positioning members 51a and 51b. Functions so that the side surface of the body portion 101 of the ferrule 100 is set so as not to contact the inner surface of the rod-like members 32b and 32c forming the slit 32a and to be positioned at the substantially central portion in the width direction of the slit 32a. It is. Accordingly, the distance between the positioning members 51a and 51b and the protruding position on the plate-like body 51 are set so that such a function can be achieved.
[0018]
As shown in FIG. 3, the operating unit 60 includes an operated body 61, an operating body 62, and an operation unit 63. The actuated body 61 is attached to the lower surface of the plate-like body 51 constituting the weight member support portion 50, and is composed of a substantially trapezoidal block member projecting downward from the plate-like body 51. It forms as the inclined surface 61a which inclines diagonally upwards as it goes back. The action body 62 includes a substantially triangular block member 62a, and is arranged such that the inclined surface 62b faces upward, and the inclined surface 62b is inclined upward as it goes from the front to the rear. And the inclined surface 61a of the to-be-actuated body 61 and the inclined surface 62b of the operating body 62 are formed at an angle that allows sliding contact. In addition, a substantially rectangular parallelepiped or substantially cubic block member 62c is integrally provided at the front end of the substantially triangular block member 62a. Here, in the base 20, the guide groove 21 is engraved along the front-rear direction of the base 20 on the front side of the support column 31, and the operating body 62 is in the guide groove 21. In this manner, the inclined surface 62b is accommodated upward.
[0019]
The operating portion 63 has one end connected to the substantially rectangular parallelepiped or substantially cubic shaped block member 62c, and the other end connected to a connecting rod 63a protruding outside through a through hole formed in the front end wall of the guide groove 21. And a handle 63b provided at the other end of the connecting rod 63a. That is, the grip portion 63b is gripped and pushed, and the substantially rectangular parallelepiped or substantially cubic block member 62c connected to the connecting rod 63a is pushed. The block member 62 a is pushed along the guide groove 21.
[0020]
In inspecting the guide pin insertion hole or the fiber insertion hole of the ferrule 100 as an optical connector in the present embodiment, first, a predetermined weight member 40 is prepared. Specifically, a shaft body 41 having a gauge pin 45 having a predetermined diameter is selected, and predetermined cylindrical weights 42 and 43 are set on the shaft body 41. At this time, the cylindrical weights 42 and 43 are inserted and arranged from the lower end of the shaft body 41 as described above.
[0021]
Next, the handle part 63b of the operation part 63 is grasped and pulled forward. As a result, the substantially triangular block member 62 a constituting the operating body 62 moves to the near side along the guide groove 21. At this time, since the inclined surface 61a of the operated body 61 is in sliding contact with the inclined surface 62b of the operating body 62 formed on the substantially triangular block member 62a, the more the operating body 62 moves forward, As shown in FIG. 2, the sliding contact area is reduced, and the plate-like body 51 constituting the weight member support portion 50 is lifted together with the driven body 61. In this state, the guide pin insertion hole of the ferrule 100 or the opening end of the fiber insertion hole formed through the end face is directed downward, the body portion 101 is turned sideways, and the lower surface of the weight member 40 (cylindrical weight 43) is plate-shaped. The ferrule 100 is inserted into the slit 32 a of the arm member 32 so as to slide on the upper surface of the body 51. At this time, by operating the cylindrical weights 42 and 43 to contact the positioning members 51a and 51b, the flange portion 102 of the ferrule 100 is caught by the rod-like members 32b and 32c forming the slit 32a, and the side surface of the body portion 101 The ferrule 100 can be easily supported in a suspended state so as not to contact the inner surfaces of the rod-shaped members 32b and 32c. It should be noted that the top of the substantially triangular block member 62a of the operating body 62 and the top of the operated body 61 are both formed flat so that when the tops are in contact with each other, the plate of the weight member holding section 50 is formed. Since the position of the body 51 is stably held, the ferrule 100 supported by the weight member 40 can be easily set (see FIG. 3).
[0022]
Next, the operation unit 63 is pushed in. Thereby, since the operating body 62 moves in the depth direction along the guide groove 21, the inclined surface 61a of the operated body 61 moves downward along the inclined surface 62b of the operating body 62, and The weight member support portion 50 is lowered to the state shown in FIG. In addition, by applying oil between the inclined surface 62b of the operating body 62 and the inclined surface 61a of the operated body 61, the operated body 61 is smoothly lowered by the viscous resistance. Therefore, in this case, if the operating portion 63 is slightly pushed in, the inclined surfaces 61a and 62b are lowered smoothly by the weight of the weight member supporting portion 50 while receiving the resistance of the oil, and the operating body 62 is also moved. It moves smoothly along the guide groove 21 in the depth direction.
[0023]
When the plate-like body 51 of the weight member support portion 50 is separated from the weight member 40, is the weight member 40 suspended and held in a state where the gauge pin 45 is inserted into a predetermined insertion hole of the suspended ferrule 100? The gauge pin 45 is detached from the insertion hole and falls. Thereby, the fitting force which is resistance at the time of insertion / extraction of the guide pin insertion hole or fiber insertion hole formed in the ferrule 100 is inspected. According to the present embodiment, the ferrule 100 is stable because the operator holds the ferrule 100 by the optical connector holding portion 30 supported by the base 20, rather than gripping the ferrule 100 and inspecting the fitting force. Hold in posture.
[0024]
Of course, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, the inclined direction of the inclined surface 61a of the operated body 61 and the inclined direction of the inclined surface 62b of the operating body 62 can be formed in the reverse relationship to the above embodiment. Further, the operation of pulling the operation unit 63 toward the front or pushing it in the depth direction may be configured to be electrically performed automatically using an arbitrary actuator instead of manually.
[0025]
【The invention's effect】
Since the optical connector insertion hole inspection device of the present invention can hold the optical connector by the optical connector holding portion instead of manually, the work for inspecting the resistance (fitting force) of the guide pin insertion hole and the fiber insertion hole is easy. Can be achieved. In addition, since the weight member holding portion can be held in a stable posture by the optical connector holding portion, and once the weight member is supported by the weight member holding portion, the weight member holding portion is separated from the weight member. There is almost no rocking at the time of hanging, and the inspection accuracy of the fitting force can be improved. In addition, a cylindrical weight is used as the weight member, and a positioning member is provided at a predetermined position of the weight member holding portion, so that the body portion of the optical connector can be easily supported without being in contact with the slit that supports the optical connector. Thus, the inspection accuracy can be further improved.
