Abstract

The invention relates to a method and a device for automatically controlling the temperature of optical fiber coatings in a wiredrawing process. The device comprises an optical fiber coating device, wherein a coating cavity of the optical fiber coating device is communicated with a charging bucket by a charging pipeline. The device is characterized in that the charging pipeline is externally provided with a controllable heater which is used for heating the coatings in the charging pipeline, the charging pipeline is externally provided with a processing control unit which is used for comparing an acquired wiredrawing speed sensing signal and charging pipeline temperature sensing signal with a preset parameter numerical value, so as to control the heating process of the controllable heater, so that the automatic controlling and adjusting process of the temperate of the coatings in the optical fiber coating device can be realized. According to the device and the method, the temperature of the coatings can be automatically changed along with the wiredrawing speed when the optical fiber is wiredrawn, so that the temperature (or the viscosity) of the coatings can be well matched with the wiredrawing speed, and therefore, the quality of a coating layer on the surface of the optical fiber can be guaranteed, and the machining yield of the optical fiber can be improved. The method and the device are simple in structure, and convenient to implement and popularize, so that the automatic level of optical fiber machining equipment can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method and a device for online temperature control of optical fiber coatings in a wet-on-wet coating process, belonging to the technical field of optical fiber processing. Background technique [0002] Optical fiber coating is one of the two most important materials that make up the optical fiber. Its main functions include mechanical protection of the bare optical fiber, maintaining the strength of the optical fiber, resisting environmental erosion, and maintaining and improving the bending performance of the optical fiber. Therefore, the quality of optical fiber coating will directly affect the quality and performance of optical fiber. For conventional communication optical fibers, the surface of the glass optical fiber is coated with two coating layers. The thickness and proportion distribution of the two coating layers will greatly affect the performance of the optical fiber, such as peeling force, microbending performanc...
