Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of optical cable, in particular to a stainless steel belt welded pipe armored rat-proof optical cable and a manufacturing method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the extension of communication networks to complex scenes such as underground pipe galleries, field base stations, rail transit tunnels, etc., as the core carrier of signal transmission, the running stability of optical cables is facing the severe threat of rat gnawing. Rat teeth can easily penetrate the traditional optical cable sheath layer, damage the optical fiber structure, and cause signal interruption. Even if the sheath is damaged, water and impurities will invade, causing the overall optical cable to be scrapped, bringing high costs to the operation and maintenance of the communication system. In particular, in the key fields of power communication and emergency communication, rat-induced optical cable failure can also induce safety accidents, so the rat-proof performance has become one of the core indicators of optical cable design.

[0003] The existing rat-proof optical cable is mainly realized through two technical paths of chemical rat-proofing and physical rat-proofing. The physical rat-proofing scheme is mainly steel wire armored and corrugated steel pipe coated. Although ordinary steel wire armor can improve the impact resistance, the gap between the steel wires is large, and rats can still gnaw through the sheath between the steel wires to cause damage. Although the corrugated steel pipe has good sealing performance, it has the problems of large weight, poor flexibility, high construction difficulty, and loose combination between the steel pipe and the sheath layer, which can cause water to penetrate and cause the steel pipe to rust after long-term use, further reducing the protection effect. The chemical rat-proofing scheme adds natural capsaicin and other rat repellents to the sheath material to repel rats by using irritating odor. Although it is relatively environmentally friendly, it has poor heat resistance and is easy to decompose and lose effectiveness during the high-temperature processing of sheath extrusion. Moreover, it is easy to migrate and volatilize under outdoor light and rainwater, and the rat-proofing life is difficult to guarantee.

[0004] In addition, when the optical cable is laid inside a building, a data center, a subway tunnel, a high-rise shaft, or any place with a large number of people, once a fire occurs, the traditional polyethylene sheath material is flammable, and when it burns, it will produce molten droplets and release a large amount of heat, which will become a "fuse" and "combustion aid" for the spread of fire, seriously hindering personnel evacuation and fire rescue. Moreover, the polyolefin sheath material will cut chemical bonds and cause oxidation reactions when exposed to sunlight for a long time, resulting in powdering, cracking, discoloration, and brittleness on the surface of the sheath material, and the mechanical strength and toughness will decrease sharply. Once the sheath has microscopic cracks due to aging, water and chemical pollutants in the air will enter, not only directly corroding the metal reinforcing member, but more seriously, under temperature changes, these invading water will condense or freeze inside the optical cable, causing irreversible hydrolysis and microbend loss to the optical fiber, resulting in a sharp increase in signal attenuation, and ultimately causing communication interruption.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a stainless steel strip-welded pipe armored rat-proof optical cable with fire-retardant and ultraviolet aging resistance and a manufacturing method thereof to prolong the service life. SUMMARY

[0022] The polyethylene, the above-mentioned composite rodent repellent, the above-mentioned modified flame retardant, the above-mentioned composite UV inhibitor, compatibilizer and lubricant are mixed evenly and then placed in a twin-screw extruder for extrusion granulation to obtain the sheath layer material.

[0023] Furthermore, S1 specifically includes the following steps:

[0024] S1.1: Place attapulgite in a 1 mol / L hydrochloric acid solution at a ratio of 1 g: (10-20) mL, stir for 4-6 h, filter, wash until neutral and dry, then calcine at 300-400℃ for 1-2 h, and after cooling to room temperature, grind and sieve to obtain pretreated attapulgite.

After cooling, remove the toluene by vacuum distillation and then separate by column chromatography to obtain the modified flame retardant. The volume ratio of azobisisobutyronitrile solution to the mixed reaction solution is (3.7-3.8):1.

[0034] A method for manufacturing a stainless steel strip welded tube armored rodent-proof optical cable as described in any of the above claims includes the following steps:

[0035] Step 1: Fabrication of colored optical fibers

[0036] Bare optical fibers are colored into colored optical fibers of different colors;

[0037] Step 2: Preparation of stainless steel strip welded pipe layer

[0038] Multiple colored optical fibers are bundled together to form an optical fiber bundle, and then a stainless steel strip is wrapped around the optical fiber bundle. The bundle is then butt-welded by a pipe welding machine to form a stainless steel strip welded pipe layer. At the same time, fiber grease is injected into the stainless steel strip welded pipe for filling, and then embossing is performed.

[0039] Step 3: Prepare the armored steel wire layer

[0040] Galvanized high-carbon steel wire is twisted around a stainless steel strip welded pipe in a "concentric twisting" manner to form an armored steel wire layer;

[0041] Step 4: Prepare the sheath layer

[0042] A stainless steel strip welded tube armored rodent-proof optical cable is obtained by extruding a sheath layer over the armored steel wire layer using an extruder.

[0043] The present invention has the following advantages:

[0044] 1. In this invention, attapulgite is first acid-treated with hydrochloric acid to increase surface active sites, providing anchoring points for subsequent adsorption of sucrose octaacetate. Then, it is calcined to further stabilize its pore structure. The pretreated attapulgite is then added to an acetone solution of sucrose octaacetate and adsorbed under nitrogen protection, allowing sucrose octaacetate to be loaded onto the inner surface and pores of the attapulgite, resulting in a composite rodent repellent. This is then melt-extruded with polyethylene and other materials to form a sheathing material. Because sucrose octaacetate can… It can bind to taste receptors in the mouths of rodents, producing a strong bitter taste and stimulating the oral mucosa of rodents, thereby achieving a good rodent-repellent effect. At the same time, after pretreatment, attapulgite can form a porous structure, which can fix sucrose octaacetate in the pores through physical adsorption, preventing it from becoming ineffective due to volatilization or migration during the processing or use of the sheath material. Moreover, during the long-term use of optical cables, trace amounts of moisture or temperature changes in the environment will trigger the slow release of sucrose octaacetate in the pores of attapulgite, thereby extending the rodent-repellent effect of the sheath layer.

[0045] 2. In this invention, dihydrocapsaicin and 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide are added to toluene and reacted under the initiation of azobisisobutyronitrile to obtain a modified flame retardant. This modified flame retardant is then melt-extruded with polyethylene and other materials to form a sheathing material. Since 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide is a typical high-efficiency phosphorus-based flame retardant, and the aromatic rings of dihydrocapsaicin are not easily decomposed during combustion, the modified flame retardant is more effective. The modified flame retardant acts as a framework for the carbon layer, making the carbon layer formed by the catalysis of 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide more dense and stronger, thereby enhancing the heat insulation and oxygen barrier effects and effectively improving the flame retardant performance of the sheath material. In addition, the modified flame retardant retains the active structure of dihydrocapsaicin, which can stimulate the oral mucosa and digestive tract of rodents, producing a burning sensation. This, combined with the bitterness of the compound rodent repellent, forms a dual stimulation, thereby synergistically enhancing the rodent repellency effect of the sheath.

[0046] 3. In this invention, cerium-smarium nanocomposites are first prepared using samarium nitrate solution and cerium nitrate solution as raw materials. After alkalization, they are added to a layered dihydroxy composite metal hydroxide suspension to form a layered dihydroxy composite metal hydroxide intercalated with cerium-smarium nanocomposites, resulting in a composite UV stabilizer. This stabilizer is then melt-extruded with polyethylene and other materials to form a sheath material. Because cerium oxide in the cerium-smarium nanocomposites can strongly absorb ultraviolet light and quickly capture free radicals generated by the decomposition of the sheath matrix under ultraviolet radiation, it interrupts the aging chain reaction and reduces the degradation rate. Furthermore, the doping of samarium can regulate the energy of cerium oxide. The structure broadens the absorption range and improves UV absorption efficiency, thereby effectively enhancing the UV aging resistance of the sheath layer material. By intercalating the cerium-sammarium nanocomposite material with layered dihydroxy composite metal hydroxide, the cerium-sammarium nanocomposite material can be uniformly fixed on the layer or surface, allowing it to be evenly dispersed in the sheath layer matrix, reducing the "UV blind zone". Furthermore, the layered dihydroxy composite metal hydroxide can diffusely reflect UV rays that are not absorbed by the cerium-sammarium nanocomposite material, reducing direct UV radiation to the sheath layer matrix and forming a double barrier, thereby further enhancing the UV aging resistance of the sheath layer.

[0116] (2) Preparation of stainless steel strip welded tube armored rodent-proof optical cable:

[0117] Step 1: Fabrication of colored optical fibers

[0118] Bare optical fibers are colored into colored optical fibers of different colors;

[0119] Step 2: Preparation of stainless steel strip welded pipe layer

[0120] Multiple colored optical fibers are bundled together to form an optical fiber bundle, and then a stainless steel strip is wrapped around the optical fiber bundle. The bundle is then butt-welded by a pipe welding machine to form a stainless steel strip welded pipe layer. At the same time, fiber grease is injected into the stainless steel strip welded pipe for filling, and then embossing is performed.

[0121] Step 3: Prepare the armored steel wire layer

[0122] Galvanized high-carbon steel wire is twisted around a stainless steel strip welded pipe in a "concentric twisting" manner to form an armored steel wire layer;

[0123] Step 4: Prepare the sheath layer

[0124] A stainless steel welded tube armored rodent-proof optical cable is obtained by extruding a sheath layer over the armored steel wire layer using an extruder. Its structural diagram is shown below. Figure 1 As shown.

[0125] Comparative Example 1 differs from Example 1 in that the composite rodenticide in step S4 is removed.

[0126] Comparative Example 2 differs from Example 1 in that the modified flame retardant in step S4 is removed.

[0127] Comparative Example 3 differs from Example 1 in that the composite rodent repellent in step S4 is replaced with an equal amount of modified flame retardant.

[0128] Comparative Example 4 differs from Example 1 in that the modified flame retardant in step S4 is replaced with an equal amount of composite rodent repellent.

[0129] Comparative Example 5 differs from Example 1 in that the composite UV stabilizer in step S4 is removed.

[0130] Comparative Example 6 differs from Example 1 in that steps S3.3-3.5 are removed, and the cerium samarium nanocomposite material is directly mixed with polyethylene, nylon 12, composite rodent repellent, modified flame retardant, compatibilizer and lubricant to prepare the sheath layer material.

[0131] Test example:

[0132] Test 1: The stainless steel welded tube armored rodent-proof optical cables prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1, 3, and 4, as well as the commercially available rodent-proof optical cable (Hengxu GYXTS), were tested according to GB / T34016-2017 "General Rules for Rodent-proof and Ant-proof Wires and Cables" to evaluate their rodent-proof performance. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0133]

[0134] As shown in Table 1 above, the rodent-proof performance of the stainless steel strip welded tube armored rodent-proof optical cable prepared in Comparative Example 1 without the addition of the composite rodent repellent is worse than that in Example 1. This shows that by first acid treating attapulgite with hydrochloric acid to increase the surface active sites and provide anchoring points for subsequent adsorption of sucrose octaacetate, and then calcining it to make its pore structure more stable, and then adding the calcined pretreated attapulgite to an acetone solution of sucrose octaacetate for adsorption under nitrogen protection, sucrose octaacetate is loaded on the inner surface and pores of attapulgite to obtain a composite rodent repellent. After melt extrusion with polyethylene and other materials to form a sheath material, a better rodent-proof effect can be achieved.

[0135] Furthermore, in Comparative Examples 3 and 4, when only one of the modified flame retardant or the composite rodent repellent was used, the rodent-proof performance of the stainless steel strip welded tube armored rodent-proof optical cable was better than that of Comparative Example 1, but still worse than that of Example 1. It can be seen that the modified flame retardant and the composite rodent repellent can form a dual stimulus, thereby synergistically enhancing the rodent-repelling effect of the sheath layer.

[0136] Test 2: The limiting oxygen index of the sheath materials prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 2 were tested in parallel three times, and the average value was taken. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0137]

[0138] As can be seen from Table 2 above, the limiting oxygen index of the sheath material prepared in Comparative Example 2 without modifying the flame retardant is much lower than that in Example 1. This shows that by adding dihydrocapsaicin and 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide to toluene and reacting it under the initiation of azobisisobutyronitrile to obtain a modified flame retardant, and then melt-extruding it with polyethylene and other materials to form a sheath material, the flame retardant performance of the sheath material can be effectively improved.

[0139] Test 3: The sheathing materials prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 5-6 were tested according to ISO 4892-3-2003, with an ultraviolet wavelength of 360 nm and a light intensity of 100 W / m². 2 The tensile strength retention rate after irradiation for 720 hours was tested, and the test was repeated three times. The average value was taken. The results are shown in Table 3.

[0140]

[0141] As shown in Table 3, in Comparative Example 5, without the addition of the composite UV stabilizer, the tensile strength retention rate of the sheath material after 720 hours of UV irradiation was much lower than that in Example 1. This indicates that by first preparing cerium-sammarium nanocomposite materials using samarium nitrate solution and cerium nitrate solution as raw materials, alkalizing them, and then adding them to a layered dihydroxy composite metal hydroxide suspension to form a layered dihydroxy composite metal hydroxide intercalated with cerium-sammarium nanocomposite materials, a composite UV stabilizer is obtained. After melt extruding this with polyethylene and other materials to form a sheath material, the UV aging resistance of the sheath material can be effectively improved. In Comparative Example 6, when cerium-sammarium nanocomposite materials were directly added to the sheath material, although the tensile strength retention rate after 720 hours of UV irradiation was higher than that of Comparative Example 5, it was still lower than that of Example 1. Therefore, intercalating cerium-sammarium nanocomposite materials with layered dihydroxy composite metal hydroxide can further improve the UV aging resistance of the sheath material.

Parts not described in detail in this specification are prior art known to those skilled in the art.
