Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to the technical field of optical fiber communication processing equipment and more particularly to a grinding clamp.


BACKGROUND ART

An optical fiber connector is a device for detachably connecting an optical fiber to an optical fiber, and is capable of precisely butting two end faces of the optical fiber so as to maximize the coupling of the optical energy output from a transmitting optical fiber into a receiving optical fiber and so as to minimize the influence on the system due to the intervention of the optical link by the optical fiber connector. This is a basic requirement of the optical fiber connector. To a certain extent, the quality of the optical fiber connector affects the reliability and various performances of an optical transmission system.


In order to meet the quality requirements of the optical fiber connector and avoid affecting the optical transmission system, after the optical fiber connector is formed, it is necessary to use grinding equipment to grind the ferrule; in order to facilitate grinding and avoid the product failing due to the offset of ferrule during grinding, it is necessary to use a grinding clamp to fix and clamp the ferrule.


The grinding clamp in the prior art comprises a clamp main body and multiple clamping blocks. The clamping blocks are mounted on the clamp main body via a bolt, and a clamping gap for clamping a product is formed between the clamping block and the clamp main body. It is necessary to manually adjust the bolts one by one by an operator so as to adjust the size of the clamping gap, thereby achieving the disassembly and assembly of the product; the operation process is tedious and the disassembly and assembly efficiencies are low; in addition, due to a large number of clamping blocks on the clamp main body and a large number of connecting pieces, assembly errors are likely to occur, which affects the stability of product clamping.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that a grinding clamp is provided to facilitate product disassembly and assembly.


In order to solve the above technical problem, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is a grinding clamp, comprising a clamp main body, wherein the clamp main body is provided with multiple elastic clamping portions, the elastic clamping portions and the clamp main body are of an integral structure formed integrally, the elastic clamping portion is provided with a clamping gap, a clamping hole, and a distraction hole, the clamping hole and the distraction hole are both located at the clamping gap, a product is clamped in the clamping hole by means of a self-elasticity of the elastic clamping portion, the distraction hole is used for docking an external switch, and the clamping gap is distracted by the external switch so as to place the product.


The advantageous effects of the present invention are that the grinding clamp provided by the present invention has the features of simple structure, strong stability, and easy assembly and disassembly of the product. By providing an elastic clamping portion integrally formed with the clamp main body on the clamp main body, the product is clamped in the clamping hole by the self-elasticity of the elastic clamping portion, and the addition of relying on an external connecting piece is eliminated such that the structure is simplified, the risk of an assembly error is reduced, and the stability of clamping the product is improved; by expanding the clamping gap by docking the external switch into the distraction hole, the product can be placed in the clamping hole, which is easy to operate and facilitates the improvement of production efficiency.

The clamping gap 22 is enlarged by the external switch to place the product. Specifically, the distraction hole 24 has a non-circular shape. When the elastic clamping portion 2 is in a natural state (that is, the external switch is docked in the distraction hole 24), the caliber of the clamping hole 23 is smaller than the diameter of the product. As an option, the number of the elastic clamping portions 2 on the clamp main body 1 can be set according to the actual application requirements.


In the present embodiment, the distraction hole 24 is a waist-type hole, and the external switch is a rotating rod with a head adapted to the shape of the distraction hole 24. The caliber of the clamping hole 23 is increased by inserting the rotating rod into the distraction hole 24 and rotating the rotating rod to make the clamping gap 22 larger. Then the product is placed in the clamping hole 23. Finally, the rotating rod is reversed so that the elastic clamping portion 2 rebounds, and the product is clamped in the clamping hole 23 by virtue of the self-elasticity of the elastic clamping portion 2; specifically, an edge of the distraction hole 24 is chamfered to facilitate the docking of the external switch into the distraction hole 24.
