【産業上の利用分野】[Industrial applications]

本考案は光ファイバケーブルの接続工事、測定あるいは端末形成等に適応する ための特に多心光ファイバ心線の外部被覆除去工具に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a tool for removing an outer coating of a multi-core optical fiber for adapting to connection work of an optical fiber cable, measurement or terminal formation.

【従来の技術及び考案が解決しようとする課題】[Problems to be solved by conventional techniques and devices]

従来の多心光ファイバ心線は、複数本の光ファイバを所定のピッチで間隔をお いて一列に並行に配列し、これらに共通の被覆を設けて構成されており、一括し て被覆層を除去し接続することを前提としていた。これにより光ファイバの高密 度の実装が可能であった。しかし、このように一括接続するために光ファイバを 1心づつ調心することが不可能であり、コアの偏心が著しい光ファイバでは、接 続損失を低く抑えることが困難であった。 A conventional multi-core optical fiber core wire is configured by arranging a plurality of optical fibers in parallel in a row with a predetermined pitch, and providing a common coating on them, thus collectively forming a coating layer. It was supposed to be removed and connected. This enabled high-density mounting of optical fibers. However, it is impossible to align the optical fibers one by one because of such a collective connection, and it has been difficult to keep the splice loss low in an optical fiber in which the eccentricity of the core is significant.

【0003】 このため、新たに1心づつ分離可能な多心光ファイバ心線が案出された。図2 はこのような多心光ファイバ心線の一例の横断面図で、複数本の光ファイバ11上 にはそれぞれ個別に被覆層12を有して内部心線13を形成しており、このような内 部心線13を一列に並行に配列した外側に共通の外部被覆層14を設けて多心光ファ イバ心線10を構成している。For this reason, a new multi-fiber optical fiber that can be separated one by one has been devised. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of an example of such a multi-core optical fiber, in which a plurality of optical fibers 11 each have a coating layer 12 individually to form an inner core 13. A multi-core optical fiber core wire 10 is formed by arranging such inner core wires 13 in parallel in a row and providing a common outer coating layer 14 on the outside.

【0004】 このような多心光ファイバ心線10は1心づつ独立した内部心線13を有するため 、それぞれの光ファイバのコアを調心して接続損失を低くできるが、断面寸法が 小さいため光ファイバに損傷を与えることなく安全に分離することが困難であっ た。又たとえ多心光ファイバ心線の端末部を工具なしで内部心線13を分離できた としても、少なからぬ損傷を与える危険性が高い上、大変な手間と時間が必要で あった。Since such a multi-core optical fiber core wire 10 has an internal core wire 13 which is independent for each core, the cores of the respective optical fibers can be aligned to reduce the connection loss. It was difficult to safely separate them without damaging them. Even if the inner end of the multi-core optical fiber can be separated without a tool at the end of the multi-core optical fiber, there is a high risk of causing considerable damage, and much labor and time are required.

【0005】 又多心光ファイバ心線の場合、「後分岐」と称する分離作業が必要とされるが 、これは光ファイバの中間部の外部被覆層14を除去することにより単心の光ファ イバ心線に分離するものである。Further, in the case of a multi-core optical fiber, a separation operation called “post-branching” is required. This is a single-core optical fiber by removing the outer coating layer 14 in the middle part of the optical fiber. It is to be separated into Iba-core.

【課題を解決するための手段】[Means for Solving the Problems]

本考案は上述のような多心光ファイバ心線の外部被覆層を安全かつ確実に除去 する、外部被覆除去工具を提供するもので、その特徴は、枢軸により開閉可能と された上下部アームより成り、上部アームには多心光ファイバ心線の幅より広い 幅の刃物を配設するとともに、該刃物によって切開かれる外部被覆層の上部被覆 を排出する開口を設け、下部アームには多心光ファイバ心線の幅方向のずれを防 止するガイド部を設けたことにある。 The present invention provides an outer coating removing tool for safely and reliably removing the outer coating layer of the multi-core optical fiber as described above, which is characterized by the upper and lower arms that can be opened and closed by a pivot. The upper arm has a blade with a width wider than the width of the multi-core optical fiber, and an opening for discharging the upper coating of the outer coating layer cut by the blade is provided. The purpose of this is to provide a guide part that prevents the fiber core wire from shifting in the width direction.

A pair of upper and lower arms 22a and 22b are connected by a pivot 23. It is provided so that it can be opened and closed, and the blade 21 is attached to the support 24 at an angle near the tip of the inner surface of the upper arm 22a, and the upper portion of the outer coating layer 14 cut open by the blade 21a of the arm 22a. The covering 14a has an opening 25 through which it is continuously discharged. A guide portion 26 having a guide plate 27 of the optical fiber core wire 10 is formed at a position on the inner surface of the lower arm 22b corresponding to the position where the blade 21 is mounted, and the guide portion 26 has a multi-core optical fiber. When the core wire 10 is set, the tip end portion 21a of the blade 21 is provided so as to project toward the guide portion 26 so that the tip end portion 21a contacts the arrangement surface of the inner core wire 13. Then, the arms 22a and 22b of the coating removing tool 20 are opened to position the multi-core optical fiber core 10 in the guide portion 26 of the lower arm 22b, and the coating removing tool 20 is closed and moved relative to each other. The upper coating of the coating layer 14 is cut open as shown in FIG. 3 so that the inner core wire 13 can be separated.
