Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of reinforced core optical cable technology, specifically to an ultra-high strength reinforced core optical cable manufacturing equipment and method. Background Technology
[0002] Optical cables are manufactured to meet optical, mechanical, or environmental performance specifications. They are communication cable assemblies that use one or more optical fibers placed in a protective sheath as the transmission medium and can be used individually or in groups. Optical cables are mainly composed of optical fibers (glass filaments as thin as a hair), plastic protective sheaths, and plastic outer jackets. Optical cables do not contain metals such as gold, silver, copper, or aluminum and generally have no recycling value. An optical cable is a communication line that uses a certain number of optical fibers arranged in a certain way to form a cable core, surrounded by a sheath, and sometimes an outer protective layer, to realize the transmission of optical signals. In other words, it is a cable formed by optical fiber (optical transmission carrier) through certain processes. The basic structure of an optical cable generally consists of several parts, including the cable core, reinforcing steel wires, filler, and sheath. In addition, depending on the needs, there may be waterproof layers, buffer layers, insulated metal conductors, and other components. The function of the central reinforcing member of the optical cable is to enhance the structural strength of the optical cable, protect the optical fibers, provide tensile support for the optical cable, and improve the cable's resistance to compression, ensuring that the optical cable can transmit signals stably under various environmental conditions. Current optical cable manufacturing equipment usually wraps multiple protective layers around the surface of the optical cable.
[0003] Existing optical cable products typically consist of two parts: the cable core and the outer sheath. During use, the cable body often suffers from low tensile strength, brittleness, and poor mechanical strength, making it highly susceptible to fiber breakage and interruption of information transmission, leading to economic losses. Since the main component of the optical fiber core is high-purity quartz glass, its tensile and bending resistance is extremely fragile. Therefore, ordinary optical cables are prone to fiber breakage within the sheath during installation, which has been a major obstacle to the widespread adoption of fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) for many years. Individual optical fibers produced cannot meet the demands of high-volume transmission, and a single layer of protection cannot meet the requirements of harsh environments. Harsh environments cause damage and aging of optical fibers many times more severely than normal environments, while multi-layered protection affects the cable's flexibility in bending.

[0015] Preferably, it includes the following steps:
[0016] S1. First, start the first motor and rotate it slowly. The rotation of the first motor drives the first shaft to rotate, and the rotation of the first shaft drives the winding roller to rotate. The rotation of the winding roller winds up the optical cable. The optical cable passes through the reinforcing core and steel wire rope, resin wrapping, and water immersion cooling in sequence.
[0017] S2, the optical cable, after being wrapped in resin, enters the first water tank through a small hole for immersion and cooling, and then exits through another small hole on the other side, allowing water to flow into the inlet pipe. Simultaneously, the rotation of the first shaft drives the first spur gear to rotate, which in turn drives the rack downwards. This downward movement of the rack drives the first sliding block downwards, causing the first hollow groove to move away from the first rubber ring. As the first hollow groove moves away from the first rubber ring, the water inside it flows through the connecting groove into the first water tank. The water in the first water tank overflows at the top and enters the second water tank. The water in the second water tank is discharged through the outlet pipe. Simultaneously, the downward movement of the first sliding block drives the baffle downwards, which compresses the spring.
[0018] S3, a steel wire rope is wound around the side wall of the first rotating block, and a reinforcing core is wound around the side wall of the second rotating block. A corrugated tube-shaped reinforcing core is wrapped around the outside of the optical cable. The reinforcing core can greatly improve the strength of the optical cable. At the same time, the steel wire rope is set at the edge of the reinforcing core to further strengthen the strength of the optical cable. A roller is rotatably connected to the upper end of the first support plate. When the optical cable moves to one end and passes through the roller, it will squeeze the edge of the reinforcing core into an arc shape, so that the reinforcing cores on both sides can be locked together with the steel wire rope.
[0019] S4. At this time, the second motor is started to rotate. The rotation of the second motor drives the second shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the side gear to rotate. The side gear drives the second spur gear to rotate, which in turn drives the third shaft to rotate. The rotation of the third shaft causes the disc to rotate, which in turn drives the movable rod to move. The movable rod drives the sliding rod to reciprocate, which in turn drives the connecting block to reciprocate. The reciprocating motion of the sliding rod drives the rotating pin to clamp inward. The clamping of the rotating pin inward will cause the second sliding block to clamp inward. The clamping of the second sliding block inward will cause the cutter to clamp inward. The inward movement of the cutter will cut the reinforcing core into a serrated shape. Cutting the reinforcing core into a serrated shape is beneficial for the bending of the optical cable and improves the quality of the product.
[0020] S5. Pour resin into the feed hopper. As the second rotating shaft rotates, it will drive the screw rod to rotate. The rotation of the screw rod will drive the plastic inside into the feed pipe. The resin enters the second hollow groove inside the feed pipe. The resin in the second hollow groove will wrap the outside of the optical cable that is already wrapped with the reinforcing core with another layer of resin, making the optical cable stronger.
[0021] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0022] (1) The ultra-high strength reinforced core optical cable manufacturing equipment and method of the present invention uses a winding roller to wind the optical cable. The optical cable passes through the reinforcing core and steel wire rope, resin wrapping, and water immersion cooling in sequence. The first water pool can quickly immerse and cool the optical cable after resin wrapping.
[0023] (2) The ultra-high strength reinforced core optical cable manufacturing equipment and method described in this invention can significantly improve the structural strength of the optical cable by wrapping the outside of the optical cable with a reinforcing core and steel wire rope. Since the reinforcing core is similar to a corrugated tube, it can be bent at a large angle. Furthermore, the sawtooth-shaped small holes at the connection of the two reinforcing cores can make the wrapped optical cable bend freely.
[0024] (3) The ultra-high strength reinforced core optical cable manufacturing equipment and method described in this invention makes the optical cable smoother, flatter and stronger by wrapping another layer of resin on the outside of the wrapped optical cable. Attached Figure Description

[0038] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0039] like Figures 1-11 As shown, the present invention discloses an ultra-high strength reinforced core optical cable manufacturing equipment and method, comprising a winding mechanism 1, a cooling mechanism 2, a wrapping mechanism 3, a shearing mechanism 4, and an injection molding mechanism 5. The winding mechanism 1 has a cooling mechanism 2 at one end, the cooling mechanism 2 has a wrapping mechanism 3 at one end, the wrapping mechanism 3 has a shearing mechanism 4 at one end, and the shearing mechanism 4 has an injection molding mechanism 5 at one end. The optical cable is wound by rotating a winding roller 15. The optical cable sequentially passes through a wrapping of a reinforcing core 36 and a steel wire rope 35, a resin wrapping, and water immersion cooling. Wrapping the outside of the optical cable with a reinforcing core 36 and a steel wire rope 35 significantly improves the structural strength of the optical cable. Furthermore, because the reinforcing core 36 is corrugated and can be bent at large angles, and the serrated holes at the connection points of two reinforcing cores 36 allow the wrapped optical cable to bend freely, the addition of a layer of resin to the outside of the wrapped optical cable makes it smoother, flatter, and stronger.
[0040] Preferably, the winding mechanism 1 includes a first support plate 11, a first motor 12 fixedly connected to the upper end of the first support plate 11, a first rotating shaft 13 fixedly connected to one end of the first motor 12, a second support plate 14 rotatably connected to the side wall of the first rotating shaft 13, one end of the second support plate 14 fixedly connected to the first support plate 11, a winding roller 15 fixedly connected to one end of the first rotating shaft 13, and a winding roller 16 rotatably connected to the upper end of the support plate 11. First, the first motor 12 is started and rotated slowly. The rotation of the first motor 12 drives the first rotating shaft 13 to rotate, and the rotation of the first rotating shaft 13 drives the winding roller 15 to rotate. The winding roller 15 rotates to wind up the optical cable. The optical cable passes through the reinforcing core 36 and the steel wire rope 35 in sequence, is wrapped with resin, and is immersed in water for cooling. The reinforcing core 36 is made of spring steel material, which has a certain structural strength and also has good bending performance. The steel wire rope 35 is low-carbon galvanized steel wire to improve the tensile strength of the optical cable.
[0041] Preferably, the cooling mechanism 2 includes a first spur gear 21, the center of which is fixedly connected to a first rotating shaft 13. One end of the first spur gear 21 meshes with a rack 22. A first sleeve 23 is slidably connected to the side wall of the rack 22. The side wall of the first sleeve 23 is fixedly connected to a first support plate 11. A first sliding block 24 is fixedly connected to one end of the rack 22. A water inlet pipe 25 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the first sliding block 24. A first hollow groove 26 is formed inside the first sliding block 24. A first rubber ring 27 is slidably connected to the side wall of the first sliding block 24. A connecting groove 28 is provided inside the rubber ring 27. A connecting pipe 29 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the first rubber ring 27. A second rubber ring 210 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the connecting pipe 29. A baffle 211 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the first sliding block 24. A spring 212 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the baffle 211. The lower end of the spring 212 is fixedly connected to the second rubber ring 210. A first water tank 213 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting pipe 29. A small hole 214 is provided on the side wall of the first water tank 213. A second water tank 215 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the first water tank 213. A water outlet pipe 216 is fixedly connected to the side wall of pool 215. The resin-coated optical cable enters the first water pool 213 through a small hole 214 for immersion and cooling, then exits through another small hole 214 on the other side, allowing water to flow into the inlet pipe 25. Simultaneously, the rotation of the first rotating shaft 13 drives the first spur gear 21 to rotate. The rotation of the first spur gear 21 causes the rack 22 to move downwards. Since only a small section of the rack 22 has teeth, it will always move downwards a certain distance when the spur gear 21 rotates. The downward movement of the rack 22 drives the first sliding block 24 to move downwards. The movement of the first hollow groove 26 away from the first rubber ring 27 causes the water inside the first hollow groove 26 to flow through the connecting groove 28 into the first water pool 213. The water inside the first water pool 213 overflows from the top and enters the second water pool 215. The water inside the second water pool 215 is discharged through the water outlet pipe 216. As the first sliding block 24 moves downward, it will drive the baffle 211 to move downward. The downward movement of the baffle 211 will compress the spring 212. The first water pool 213 can quickly immerse and cool the resin-coated optical cable.
[0042] Preferably, the wrapping mechanism 3 includes a fixing block 31, the lower end of which is fixedly connected to a first support plate 11. A first rotating block 32 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the fixing block 31, and a second rotating block 33 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the fixing block 31. A roller 34 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the first support plate 11. A steel wire rope 35 is wound around the side wall of the first rotating block 32, and a reinforcing core 36 is wound around the side wall of the second rotating block 33. The steel wire rope 35 is wound around the side wall of the first rotating block 32, and the reinforcing core 36 is wound around the side wall of the second rotating block 33, thus wrapping the optical cable externally. A corrugated tubular reinforcing core 36 is wrapped around the optical cable, which greatly improves the strength of the optical cable. At the same time, steel wire ropes 35 are set at the edge of the reinforcing core 36 to further enhance the strength of the optical cable. A roller 34 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the first support plate 11. When the optical cable moves to one end and passes through the roller 34, it will squeeze the edge of the reinforcing core 36 into an arc shape. This allows the reinforcing cores 36 on both sides to be engaged with the steel wire ropes 35. By wrapping the outside of the optical cable with a reinforcing core 36 and steel wire ropes 35, the structural strength of the optical cable can be significantly improved. Moreover, because the reinforcing core 36 is similar to a corrugated tubular shape, it can be bent at a large angle.
[0043] Preferably, the shearing mechanism 4 includes a second motor 41, the lower end of which is fixedly connected to the first support plate 11. A second rotating shaft 42 is fixedly connected to one end of the second motor 41. A side gear 43 is fixedly connected to one end of the second rotating shaft 42. A second spur gear 44 meshes with one end of the side gear 43. A third rotating shaft 45 is fixedly connected to the center of the second spur gear 44. A bearing 46 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the third rotating shaft 45. One end of the bearing 46 is fixedly connected to the first support plate 11. A disc 47 is fixedly connected to one end of the third rotating shaft 45. A movable part is rotatably connected to the upper end of the disc 47. A rod 48 is rotatably connected to a sliding rod 49 at one end. A second sleeve 410 is slidably connected to the side wall of the sliding rod 49. A first limiting plate 414 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the second sleeve 410. The lower end of the first limiting plate 414 is fixedly connected to a first support plate 11. A connecting block 411 is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding rod 49. A sliding plate 412 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting block 411. A guide groove 413 is provided inside the sliding plate 412. The side wall of the sliding plate 412 is slidably connected to the first limiting plate 414. A rotating pin 415 is slidably connected inside the guide groove 413. A second limiting plate 416 is slidably connected to the side wall of the rotating pin 415. A limiting groove 417 is formed inside the second limiting plate 416. A second sliding block 418 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the rotating pin 415. A cutter 419 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the second sliding block 418. At this time, the second motor 41 is started to rotate. The rotation of the second motor 41 drives the second rotating shaft 42 to rotate. The rotation of the second rotating shaft 42 drives the side gear 43 to rotate. The rotation of the side gear 43 drives the second spur gear 44 to rotate. The rotation of the second spur gear 44 drives the third rotating shaft 45 to rotate. The rotation of the third rotating shaft 45 drives the disc 47 to rotate. The rotation of the disc 47 drives the movable rod. The movement of the movable rod 48 drives the sliding rod 49 to reciprocate. The reciprocating movement of the sliding rod 49 drives the connecting block 411 to reciprocate. The reciprocating movement of the connecting block 411 drives the rotating pin 415 to clamp inward. The inward clamping of the rotating pin 415 will drive the second sliding block 418 to clamp inward. The inward clamping of the second sliding block 418 will drive the cutter 419 to clamp inward. The inward movement of the cutter 419 will cut the reinforcing core 36 into a serrated shape. Cutting the reinforcing core 36 into a serrated shape is beneficial to the bending of the optical cable and improves the quality of the product. By opening serrated small holes at the connection of the two reinforcing cores 36, the wrapped optical cable can also be bent freely.
[0044] Preferably, the injection molding mechanism 5 includes a spiral rod 51, the center of which is fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 42. A third sleeve 52 is sleeved on the outside of the spiral rod 51. A feed pipe 53 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the third sleeve 52. A material cylinder 54 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the feed pipe 53. A second hollow groove 55 and a third hollow groove 56 are opened inside the material cylinder 54. A feed hopper 57 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the third sleeve 52. Resin is poured into the feed hopper 57. When the second rotating shaft 42 rotates, it will drive the spiral rod 51 to rotate. The rotation of the spiral rod 51 will drive the plastic inside to enter the feed pipe 53. The resin enters the second hollow groove 55 inside the feed pipe 53. The resin in the second hollow groove 55 will wrap the optical cable with the reinforcing core with another layer of resin, making the optical cable stronger. By wrapping the optical cable with another layer of resin, the optical cable becomes smoother, flatter, and stronger.
[0045] Working principle: When using this invention, the first motor 12 is started and rotated slowly. The rotation of the first motor 12 drives the first rotating shaft 13 to rotate, and the rotation of the first rotating shaft 13 drives the winding roller 15 to rotate. The winding roller 15 rotates to wind up the optical cable. The optical cable passes through the reinforcing core 36 and the steel wire rope 35 in sequence, is wrapped with resin, and is immersed in water for cooling. The reinforcing core 36 is made of spring steel, which has a certain structural strength and also has good bending performance. The steel wire rope 35 is made of low carbon galvanized steel wire to improve the tensile strength of the optical cable.
[0046] After being coated with resin, the optical cable enters the first water tank 213 through the small hole 214 for immersion and cooling. Then, it exits through the other small hole 214 and water is introduced into the water inlet pipe 25. As the first rotating shaft 13 rotates, it drives the first spur gear 21 to rotate. The rotation of the first spur gear 21 causes the rack 22 to move downwards. Since only a small section of the rack 22 has teeth, it will always move downwards a certain distance as the first spur gear 21 rotates. The downward movement of the rack 22 causes the first sliding block 24 to move downwards, which in turn causes the first hollow groove 2... 6. Moving away from the first rubber ring 27, the water inside the first hollow groove 26 will flow through the connecting groove 28 into the first water pool 213. The water inside the first water pool 213 overflows from the top and enters the second water pool 215. The water inside the second water pool 215 is discharged through the outlet pipe 216. As the first sliding block 24 moves downward, it will drive the baffle 211 to move downward. The downward movement of the baffle 211 will compress the spring 212. The first water pool 213 can quickly immerse and cool the resin-coated optical cable.
[0047] A steel wire rope 35 is wound around the side wall of the first rotating block 32, and a reinforcing core 36 is wound around the side wall of the second rotating block 33. A corrugated tube-shaped reinforcing core 36 is wrapped around the outside of the optical cable. The reinforcing core 36 can greatly improve the strength of the optical cable. At the same time, the steel wire rope 35 is set at the edge of the reinforcing core 36 to further strengthen the strength of the optical cable. A roller 34 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the first support plate 11. When the optical cable moves to one end and passes through the roller 34, it will squeeze the edge of the reinforcing core 36 into an arc shape. This can make the reinforcing core 36 on both sides and the steel wire rope 35 engage together. By wrapping the outside of the optical cable with a reinforcing core 36 and a steel wire rope 35, the structural strength of the optical cable can be significantly improved. And because the reinforcing core 36 is similar to a corrugated tube, it can be bent at a large angle.
[0048] At this time, the second motor 41 is started to rotate, which drives the second rotating shaft 42 to rotate. The rotation of the second rotating shaft 42 drives the side gear 43 to rotate, which drives the second spur gear 44 to rotate. The rotation of the second spur gear 44 drives the third rotating shaft 45 to rotate. The rotation of the third rotating shaft 45 drives the disc 47 to rotate, which drives the movable rod 48 to move. The movement of the movable rod 48 drives the sliding rod 49 to reciprocate. The reciprocating movement of the sliding rod 49 drives the connecting block 411 to reciprocate. The reciprocating movement of the connecting block 411 drives the rotating pin 415 to clamp inward. The inward clamping of the rotating pin 415 will drive the second sliding block 418 to clamp inward. The inward clamping of the second sliding block 418 will drive the cutter 419 to clamp inward. The inward movement of the cutter 419 will cut the reinforcing core 36 into a serrated shape. Cutting the reinforcing core 36 into a serrated shape is beneficial to the bending of the optical cable and improves the quality of the product. By opening a serrated small hole at the connection of the two reinforcing cores 36, the wrapped optical cable can also be bent freely.
[0049] Resin is poured into the feed hopper 57. As the second rotating shaft 42 rotates, it drives the screw rod 51 to rotate. The rotation of the screw rod 51 drives the plastic inside into the feed pipe 53. The resin enters the second hollow groove 55 inside the feed pipe 53. The resin in the second hollow groove 55 wraps another layer of resin around the outside of the optical cable that is already wrapped with the reinforcing core, making the optical cable stronger. By wrapping the already wrapped optical cable with another layer of resin, the optical cable becomes smoother, flatter and stronger.
