The early optical fiber slip ring was active. It was modified on the basis of the Conductive Slip Ring. The two ends were equipped with photoelectric conversion equipment. Before entering the slip ring, the optical signal was converted into an electrical signal, which was transmitted through the conductive slip ring. Another device re-converts into an optical signal. This method does not fundamentally solve the bottleneck in transmission rate and service life. The other method is to realize the direct continuous transmission of optical signals through the combination of optical and mechanical transmission methods, that is, passive optical fiber slip ring. This method has more obvious advantages and eventually becomes the mainstream technology of optical fiber slip ring. Optical fiber slip ring is a kind of slip ring. It is a kind of slip ring that uses optical fiber as a tool to transmit optical fiber signals. The application of optical fiber is very common in industrial development to modern times. From telecommunications to video, industrial, and military applications, optical fiber is used as a This kind of fast transmission medium can be said to be ubiquitous. Its main characteristics are fast, precise, accurate, etc., and it can transmit larger capacity data than wires and cables of other materials.
Optical fiber slip ring, also known as photoelectric slip ring, uses optical fiber as the data transmission medium to provide the best technical solution for data transmission between rotatingly connected system components. It is especially suitable for applications where unlimited, continuous or intermittent rotation is required, and large-capacity data and signals need to be transmitted from a fixed position to a rotating position. It can improve mechanical performance, simplify system operations, and avoid rotation due to movable joints. Damage to the optical fiber. It can be used in conjunction with the traditional electronic bus ring to make a photoelectric hybrid bus ring to transmit power and high-speed data.
Optical fiber can be divided into: single-mode optical fiber and multi-mode optical fiber. To transmit rotating optical signals between two optical fibers, optical fiber slip rings must be used. The manufacture of single-mode optical fiber slip ring is relatively simple, while the manufacture and use of multi-mode optical fiber are very complicated and require a combination of multiple lenses to complete. To transmit optical signals in two rotating structures, Fiber Optic Slip Rings are the best choice. The optical fiber slip ring has a wide range of applications, small size, light weight, and very convenient assembly and installation. In many occasions where fast signal transmission is required, fiber optic slip rings are used as the connecting parts of the rotating structure.
