摘要:
An optical fiber fusion splicer includes optical fiber holders that hold optical fibers. Each optical fiber holder includes a base, a cover, and a connecting portion. The base includes a setting table on which an optical fiber F is placed so as to be oriented in the longitudinal direction of the base. The cover has pressing members that press the optical fiber F placed on the setting table against the setting table. The connecting portion joins the cover to the base such that the cover is openable away from and closeable over the base and movable in the longitudinal direction of the base.

A method of fusion-splicing includes attaching a stab to a stub cap having a non-axisymmetric structure, positioning an embedded optical fiber to a fusion splicing working part by fixing the stub cap thereto; positioning an outside optical fiber to the fusion splicing working part; fusion-splicing the embedded optical fiber and the outside optical fiber; repositioning the embedded optical fiber to a reinforcing working part by fixing the stub cap thereto and repositioning the outside optical fiber to the reinforcing working part such that a relative positional relationship between the embedded optical fiber and the outside optical fiber becomes the same as that at the fusion splicing working part; and reinforcing a spliced portion between the embedded optical fiber and the outside optical fiber while a tension is applied to the embedded optical fiber and the outside optical fiber.

A reinforcing member of optical fiber fusion-splicing portion and a reinforcing method thereof are provided, in which plural coated optical fibers can be collectively reinforced in the high density, and a heating mechanism for collective reinforcement can be configured at a low cost. A reinforcing member 12 which reinforces collectively fusion-splicing portions 12a of plural coated optical fibers 11 includes a heat-shrinkable tube 13, a rod-shaped tensile strength member 14 arranged so that a part of its surface comes into contact with an inner surface of the heat-shrinkable tube, and plural tube-shaped heat-fusible adhesive members 15 arranged in the heat-shrinkable tube and into which the fusion-splicing portions of the single-core coated optical fibers are individually inserted. All of the plural tube-shaped heat-fusible adhesive members 15 are arranged in one of space portions formed between the tensile strength body 14 and the heat-shrinkable tube.

A spliced optical cable assembly is reinforced at a spliced portion of coated optical fibers to have adequate strength. The spliced optical cable assembly includes: a pair of optical fiber cables in which high-strength fibers are aligned in the longitudinal direction around coated optical fibers. The outer circumference of the coated optical fibers being covered by sheaths. The spliced optical cable assembly further includes a connecting portion in which the pair of optical fiber cables are connected and the coated optical fibers extend from the sheaths. Glass fibers exposed from the coating of the coated optical fibers spliced to each other. The connected portion is covered and formed into an integral unit, together with the high-strength fibers exposed from the sheaths, by a reinforcing tube placed over the optical fiber cables and caused to contract so that both ends of the reinforcing tube engage the sheaths of the respective optical fiber cables.

A splice protection heater capable of quickly and efficiently performing a fusion process without an excessive heating time, a fusion splicer including the splice protection heater, and a fusion splicing method are provided. The apparatus has a heating part for heat shrinking a protection sleeve that covers a fusion spliced portion of an optical fiber, a plurality of heating elements that can individually heat a plurality of protection sleeves with different timings by being individually turned ON/OFF by switches, or a heating element turned ON/OFF by a switch. This apparatus may also be provided with detecting section that detects whether or not the protection sleeve is set on the heating element, and turns the switch ON/OFF.

An optical fiber holder 21 includes an alignment mechanism part 51 having a base part 52 formed in a holder body 22, a movable base part 53 arranged on the base part 52, and an alignment lid 54 arranged on the movable base part 53. A slit 61 capable of receiving parallel-arranged plural optical fiber core wires 11 is formed between the movable base part 53 and the alignment lid 54 in the superposed state. By turning the movable base part 53 and the alignment lid 54 to the side of the base part 52, the optical fiber core wires 11 received in the slit 61 are aligned in a receiving groove 23 formed in the holder body 22.

An optical fiber reinforcing heating device 6A is equipped with a base part 12, while the base part 12 is provided with a sleeve accommodation groove that contains a fiber reinforcement sleeve and a heater having a U-shaped cross section, which heats the fiber reinforcement sleeve. A pair of fiber holders 19 that holds and clamps fusion-spliced optical fibers 3 are disposed on both end sides of the sleeve accommodation groove. A lid part 23 that covers the fiber accommodation groove 13 is attached openably and closably to the base part 12 through a rotary axis. A protector 24 for windbreak and heat insulation is joined to the lid part 23 through a rotary axis 25. The protector 24 is a member for preventing winds from entering the sleeve accommodation groove from a gap between a side wall of the base part 12 and the lid part 23.
摘要:
An optical fiber holder includes a holder main body and cord receiving groove. The holder main body has a fiber receiving groove and a first cord receiving groove. The fiber receiving groove receives and positions a coated optical fiber of an optical fiber cord with a cord jacket removed at the tip of the optical fiber cord. The cord receiving groove receives the cord jacket. A cord holding cover and a fiber pressing cover 13 are attached to the holder main body 6 for movement between respective open closed positions. The cord holder cover includes a second cord receiving groove that cooperates with the first cord receiving groove to form an insertion through hole having a circular cross-section that allows for insertion of the optical fiber. The fiber pressing cover presses the coated optical fiber against the holder main body with the coated optical fiber in the fiber receiving groove.
