Abstract

UN ACOPLADOR DE FIBRAS OPTICAS QUE CONSTA DE UN ELEMENTO DE ACOPLAMIENTO ABISAGRADO QUE TIENE DOS PATILLAS, EN DONDE AL MENOS UNA DE LAS PATILLAS TIENE UNA RANURA PARA SUJETAR LAS FIBRAS A ACOPLAR, UNA BASE PARA RECIBIR AL ELEMENTO DE ACOPLAMIENTO Y UN ACCESORIO DE CAPUCHON SOBRE LA BASE QUE TIENE UNAS BARRAS DE LEVA QUE EMPUJAN A LAS PATILLAS HASTA UNA POSICION CERRADA DE SUJECION. LAS BARRAS DE LEVA SON MAS CORTAS QUE EL ELEMENTO DE ACOPLAMIENTO, Y SOLO APLICAN UNA FUERZA DE SUJECION EN EL CENTRO DEL MISMO, LO QUE PERMITE QUE LAS PATILLAS SE FLEXIONEN HASTA QUEDAR ABIERTAS POR SUS EXTREMOS Y QUE APLIQUEN UNA SUJECION GRADUAL A LAS FIBRAS. ALTERNATIVAMENTE, LAS BARRAS DE LEVAS PUEDEN SER MAS GRUESAS POR EL CENTRO Y TENER UNAS SUPERFICIES QUE MIRAN HACIA ADENTRO CONVEXAS, PROPORCIONANDO ASI UNA SUJECION A LAS FIBRAS QUE MINIMIZA LAS PERDIDAS DE INSERCION OCASIONADAS POR EL MICRODOBLAJE. EL CAPUCHON TIENE UNAS ALETAS QUE RETIENEN AL CAPUCHON EN UNA POSICION ABIERTA Y CERRADA, PERMITIENDO LAPOSICION ABIERTA LA INSERCION DE LAS FIBRAS EN EL ELEMENTO DE ACOPLAMIENTO Y HACIENDO LA POSICION CERRADA QUE LAS SUPERFICIES CONVEXAS DE LAS BARRAS DE SUJECION ENTREN EN CONTACTO A LA FUERZA CON LAS PATILLAS DEL ELEMENTO Y SUJETEN ASI LAS FIBRAS.
