    摘要: The multiple channel fiber optic rotary joint of this invention can transmit an increased number of optical signals simultaneously through the de-rotating mechanism without increasing the size of the de-rotating mechanism. It also allows for the recapturing of the signals with relative ease. This is accomplished through the use of an optical condenser and/or an optical expander that reduces or expands the overall all beam structure without significantly altering the relative structure. The expanders and condensers are inverse structures in that if an optical signal is condensed when passing from right to light through the condenser it is expanded when passing left to right through the same condenser.

    摘要: A multi-channel fiber optic rotary joint has been invented in which optic signals can be transmitted simultaneously from a rotating fiber optic collimator array and a stationary fiber optic collimator array in air and in other optic fluids. A de-rotating lens, a cylindrical GRIN (Graded Index) lens, is positioned in the path between said rotating fiber optic collimator array and said stationary fiber optic collimator array, and arranged for rotation relative to each fiber optic collimator arrays at a rotary speed equal to one-half the relative rotational rate between said rotating and stationary fiber optic collimator arrays.

    摘要: The invention includes a precision planetary gear system which requires 2:1 gear ratio. The planetary gear system consists of three, or more planet gear assemblies. By adding a local degree of freedom, the planet gear assembly could be tilted relative to the carrier by a spring-loaded annular ring through a spherical feature thus force the three, or more planet gear assemblies symmetrically mesh into the sun gear and internal gear. A couple of elastomeric sleeves are introduced into the connection between the planet housing and the carrier so as to balance the load evenly among the three planet assemblies and to reduce the speed fluctuation of transmitted motion as well as the noise and vibration.

    摘要: A fiber optic polishing apparatus is disclosed including a single degree-of-freedom (DOF) gear transmission system, a pressurizing module, a fixture module, and a housing assembly. The single DOF gear transmission system would enable a fiber optic polishing machine, . or polisher to be driven by only one motor, or by human hand. The manual polisher is a unique field polishing machine where electricity or battery is not available or not allowed. Both manual polisher and motorized polisher have the following features: polishing up to four connectors or ferrules simultaneously; adjustable force ensures consistent finish for a wide variety of connector types and the number of connectors in the fixture; quick release for convenient removal of polish fixture; low center of gravity for high stability; small footprint for multiple-machine operation to avoid time-consuming film change.

    摘要: A simple planetary or epicyclic gear mechanism consists of a sun gear in the center, an internal or ring gear with a common axis with sun gear, and at least one planet gear. The planet gear is located between the sun gear and ring gear, and meshes with both the sun gear and the ring gear. If the ring gear is stationary, when sun gear rotates, the planet gear not only rotates about its axis, its axis also rotate around the axis of sun gear. In stead of employing the sliding motion between the ring and the brush in electrical slip ring, the current invention makes use of a plurality of conductive gears, particularly a planetary gear mechanism, to transfer electrical power, and/or signal(s) between relatively rotatable objects.

    摘要: The present invention connects two independent plastic optical fiber channels simultaneously, in which optic signals can be transmitted along two optic passes through a single mechanical rotational interface. The first channel of light path consists of a pair of plastic optic fibers with larger-core, co-axially fixed in 2 holders respectively. The light signal from one of the fiber can be directly coupled into another fiber. A number of smaller-core plastic optic fibers for second channel of light path are circumferentially arranged in the peripheral space of the first channel fibers. They are blind-spot free during rotation and are ideal for machine control applications such as SERCOS Interfaces. The rugged design permits underwater usage. Damaged fibers can be easily replaced without costly repairs of the device itself.

    摘要: A fiber optic rotary coupler is invented using both single mode and multi-mode optic fibers. This device has a rotatable optic fiber and a stationary optic fiber in an assembly to convey a light beam in the optic fibers. The assembly also includes a stationary fiber holder for fixing the tip of stationary optic fiber in a central hole and a rotatable fiber holder for fixing the body of the rotatable optic fiber with the tip of the rotatable fiber protruding out of the rotatable fiber holder. The two fiber holders can be rotated relatively each other so as to allow the tip of rotatable optic fiber to rotate in the central hole on the stationary fiber holder with the tips of the two optic fibers adjacent very closely.
