The invention provides a wheel disc traction type optical fiber tapering machine. The wheel disc traction type optical fiber tapering machine comprises a control processing device, a power transmission device, a guide control device, a wheel disc traction device, a heating and displacement control device, an optical fiber rotating device, an optical power monitoring device and a working platform,wherein the control processing device, the power transmission device, the guide control device, the wheel disc traction device, the heating and displacement control device and the optical fiber rotating device are all fixed on the working platform, and the optical power monitoring device is used for assisting in evaluating the real-time process of operation by monitoring the optical power transmitted by an optical fiber in the optical fiber tapering process. According to the invention, the two opposite wheel discs with adjustable positions are used for clamping and fixing the operation opticalfiber; the two wheel discs rotate reversely at the same speed during work, controlled rotation of the motor is converted into controlled traction and stretching of optical fiber tapering by means ofmeshing rotation between system gears, and the tapering process can be accurately controlled by means of the speed reduction effect of the transmission gear set. The resistance heating device is stable in heat transfer and high in controllability.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Among them, the box-type resistance heating method effectively solves the problem of uneven heating in the optical fiber, especially the heating problem when tapering the microstructured optical fiber; The deceleration of the rotation is transmitted to two roulettes that rotate in the opposite direction at the same speed, and the transmission belt installed on the outer circumference of the two roulettes is used to clamp and pull the optical fiber. The output of the tapering traction force is more gentle, and the tapering process is more controllable , which is conducive to improving the tapering effect; the introduction of the optical fiber rotating device not only plays the role of fixing the end of the optical fiber to be operated, but also provides the preparation means and method of the spiral optical fiber or the tapered optical fiber with the rotating tapered area
