Abstract
The present invention provides an apparatus for cleaning an optical fiber connector, which includes a case, a tape collecting gear, a tape releasing gear, an operating portion, and a cleaning socket disposed on the case. The tape collecting gear and the tape releasing gear are rotatably accommodated in the case in sequence. The cleaning socket is located at a position between the tape collecting gear and the tape releasing gear. The operating portion includes a push rod, and an elastomer, a stop block, a sliding plate, and a toggling member that are installed in the case. In the case, one end of the sliding plate is connected to the push rod in the case and the other end shields the cleaning socket, the elastomer abuts between the stop block and the push rod.
Claims10
An apparatus, comprising:
- a case;
- a tape collecting gear;
- a tape releasing gear, the tape collecting gear and the tape releasing gear being rotatably accommodated in the case in sequence;
- a cleaning tape installed between the tape collecting gear and the tape releasing gear;
- an operating portion installed in the case, the operating portion comprising:
- a push rod extending into the case from the outside of the case;
- an elastomer;
- a stop block, the elastomer abutting between the stop block and the push rod;
- a sliding plate;
- and
- a toggling member disposed at one side of the sliding plate and disposed opposite to gear teeth of the tape collecting gear;
- and
- a cleaning socket disposed on the case, the cleaning socket located at a position between the tape collecting gear and the tape releasing gear, and facing the cleaning tape between the tape collecting gear and the tape releasing gear, wherein one end of the sliding plate is connected to the push rod and the other end shields the cleaning socket, the cleaning tape and the cleaning socket being located at two opposite sides of the sliding plate;
- wherein the sliding plate is configured to be pushed by the push rod to slide in the case and expose the cleaning socket, and after the cleaning socket is exposed, the sliding plate continues to be pushed to enable the toggling member to push against the gear teeth of the tape collecting gear, and the tape collecting gear drives the cleaning tape to move.
