Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of optical cables, and in particular relates to a butterfly-shaped introduction optical cable with a serial structure and a manufacturing method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the development of fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) and fiber-to-the-building (FTTB), the demand for optical fiber cables is increasing. At the same time, the demand for optical cables with simple structure, low cost, multiple units and multiple cores is constantly being put forward. To this end, the industry has conducted unremitting research, such as the following technologies.

[0003] CN115097588A discloses a multi-unit butterfly-shaped drop optical cable comprising a plurality of butterfly-shaped units 1 and a plurality of engaging components 2. The butterfly units are characterized in that they are composed of optical fibers 11, reinforcement members 12, and unit sheaths 13, with the unit sheaths 13 having first and second engaging openings 141 and 142. The engaging components are composed of an engaging body 21. When assembled, the outer edges of all the butterfly units are on the same cylindrical surface, with one end of the engaging components between adjacent butterfly units embedded in the second engaging opening of one butterfly unit, and the other end of the engaging components between adjacent butterfly units embedded in the first engaging opening of another butterfly unit. The main beneficial technical effects of the invention include: easy expansion of the butterfly units, flexible and convenient assembly, compact structure, small space occupation, low material consumption, and low cost.

[0004] For example, CN209373203U discloses a multi-unit butterfly-shaped optical cable, comprising at least two optical fiber units, each of which is covered with an outer sheath, and the optical fiber units are arranged in parallel along the long axis direction of the outer sheath. A reinforcement member is arranged between any two of the optical fiber units, and the reinforcement member is arranged on the center line of the two optical fiber units. The reinforcement member is arranged parallel to the optical fiber units, and tearing holes are provided on the outer sheath on both sides of each optical fiber unit along the short axis direction of the outer sheath. The utility model divides the overall optical fiber unit in the existing butterfly-shaped optical cable into several optical fiber units, and each optical fiber unit is provided with a corresponding tearing hole on the outside, so that each optical fiber unit can be torn apart separately, preventing the problem that the excess optical fibers after the entire optical fiber unit is torn apart will cause line sequence confusion, making subsequent maintenance more difficult. In addition, multiple branch introduction joints can be provided, and the optical fiber units of the multiple branch introduction joints do not affect each other.

[0005] For example: CN213482531U discloses an expandable multi-core butterfly-shaped optical cable, which has a skeleton component, multiple extension components, and multiple butterfly-shaped optical units; the characteristics are: the skeleton component is composed of a skeleton body, a skeleton extension strip, and a snap-fit ​​component, and the skeleton body has a central cavity inside; the extension component has an extension cavity inside; a snap-fit ​​component is inserted into the extension cavity of each extension component and the snap-fit ​​component is attached to the upper surface of the lower side wall of the extension component, each extension cavity has a butterfly-shaped optical unit and the butterfly-shaped optical unit is located above the lower side wall of the extension component in the extension cavity.

[0006] Another example: CN202631820U discloses a multi-core easy-to-branch butterfly-shaped lead-in optical cable for FTTH, which twists multiple butterfly-shaped lead-in optical cables around a central reinforcement with an appropriate pitch, secures them with longitudinal tape wrapping, and then extrudes a layer of sheath. A cable opening rope is provided between the sheath and the longitudinal tape wrapping, which is used to strip the sheath during construction. The multi-core easy-to-branch butterfly-shaped lead-in optical cable for FTTH can be designed with the number of optical cable cores according to actual needs to meet the requirements of multi-point access; the all-media, all-dry structure design is clean and hygienic during construction, in line with today's low-carbon and environmental protection requirements; the butterfly-shaped lead-in optical cable is used as a small cabling unit, and the use of a matching on-site quick connector can quickly terminate the cable, avoiding the shortcomings of fusion termination.

[0007] In the prior art, a central reinforcement member is required to support the structure in order to stabilize it, or a clamping member is used, which cannot make the overall structure stable and reliable, and is also costly. Summary of the Invention
