Abstract
An optic connector cleaning apparatus includes a driving assembly, a cleaning tape and a casing. The driving module includes a reel assembly. The cleaning tape includes a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, the cleaning tape winds at the reel assembly; the casing includes an inverting structure and a cleaning region. The cleaning tape winds about the inverting structure. The first surface of the cleaning tape is exposed to the cleaning region, the cleaning tape winds about the inverting structure to expose the second surface through the cleaning region.
Claims22
An optic connector cleaning apparatus, comprising:
- a driving module including a reel assembly;
- a cleaning tape including a first surface and a second surface opposite from the first surface, the cleaning tape partially wound at the reel assembly;
- and
- a casing including an inverting structure and a cleaning region, the cleaning tape partially wound at the inverting structure;
- wherein the inverting structure includes a first post and a second post, the first post has two half segments defined by a plane normal to an axis of the first post, the second surface of the cleaning tape winds about substantially a half segment of the first post, the first surface of the cleaning tape winds about an end of the second post and the other half segment of the first post proximate to the cleaning region;
- wherein the first surface of the cleaning tape is partially exposed through the cleaning region, and the cleaning tape is partially wound at the inverting structure for partially exposing the second surface of the cleaning tape through the cleaning region.
An optic connector cleaning apparatus, comprising:
- a driving module including a reel assembly;
