Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of optical cables, and in particular to a torsion-resistant butterfly-shaped lead-in optical cable and a manufacturing method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Optical fiber cable is manufactured to meet optical, mechanical or environmental performance specifications. It is a communication cable assembly that uses one or more optical fibers placed in a sheath as the transmission medium and can be used individually or in groups.

[0003] When the existing butterfly optical cable is used in an aerial position, its aerial tensile strength is relatively low. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, one of the purposes of this application is to provide a street lamp with a garbage collection device, which has the advantage of high overhead tensile strength.

[0005] The above-mentioned purpose of this application is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A torsion-resistant butterfly-shaped optical cable introduction cable comprises a main body, which comprises an optical fiber and a reinforcement member. The main body is further provided with a reinforcement member, which comprises an outer sheath and a reinforcement core. The reinforcement core is located within the outer sheath and is concentrically arranged with the outer sheath. The outer sheath and the main body are fixedly connected, and the axis of the outer sheath and the axis of the reinforcement member and the optical fiber are on the same straight line.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, during use, due to the presence of the reinforcement member, it is possible to provide the optical cable with aerial tensile strength.

[0008] The present application also discloses a method for manufacturing a torsion-resistant butterfly-shaped optical cable introduction cable, which includes a gluing step for coating hot-melt glue on the reinforcing core and the reinforcement.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the presence of hot melt adhesive makes the connection effect between the outer sheath and the reinforcement core better.

[0010] In a preferred example, the present application can be further configured as follows: a gluing system is also used in the gluing step, and the gluing system includes a diameter measuring module, a calculation module and a notification module. The diameter measuring module is used to detect the diameter A of the material and the aperture B of the material entrance hole, and send the diameter A and the aperture B to the calculation module. The calculation module calculates the difference between the diameter A and the aperture B, and makes a judgment. If the difference does not meet the standard, an alarm signal is sent to the notification module. After receiving the alarm signal, the notification module issues an alarm.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, that is, during use, when the difference between the diameter A and the aperture B does not meet the standard, it indicates that it is difficult for the material to enter the material inlet hole.

[0012] In a preferred example, the present application can be further configured as follows: the diameter measuring module is also used to detect the diameter C of the material after gluing, and send the diameter C to the calculation module. After receiving the diameter C, the calculation module calculates the difference between the diameter C and the diameter A, and makes a judgment. If the difference does not meet the standard, a gluing abnormality signal is sent to the notification module. After receiving the gluing abnormality signal, the notification module gives a gluing abnormality prompt.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the thickness of the coating rubber layer can be obtained by calculating the difference between the diameter C and the diameter A, and a reminder will be issued when the thickness does not meet the standard value.

[0014] In a preferred example, the present application can be further configured as follows: the gluing system also includes a parameter module, which is used to record current production parameters. After receiving the diameter A, the calculation module queries the corresponding parameters in the parameter module and performs difference calculation. If the difference does not meet the standard, a material abnormality signal is sent to the notification module, and the notification module prompts the material abnormality.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the diameter A is compared with the corresponding parameters, that is, the diameter A is compared with the diameter of the material that should be currently produced in the parameter module. If the difference does not meet the standard, it indicates that the tested material does not meet the current production standard.

[0016] In a preferred example, the present application can be further configured as follows: the gluing system also includes a query module and a temperature measurement module. The temperature measurement module is used to detect the temperature T used to heat the glue. If the difference between the diameter C and the diameter A is less than the standard value, the calculation module sends an abnormal signal to the query module. After receiving the abnormal signal, the query module queries the temperature T detected by the temperature measurement module and the corresponding parameters in the parameter module, and compares them. If they are inconsistent, a temperature abnormality signal is sent to the notification module.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, if the difference between diameter C and diameter A is smaller than the standard value, it indicates that the thickness of the coated adhesive layer is small. Therefore, the temperature of the heated hot melt adhesive is judged. When the detected temperature of the hot melt adhesive is different from the heating temperature of the hot melt adhesive currently used to produce the material in the parameter module, it indicates that the temperature needs to be adjusted.

[0018] In a preferred example, the present application can be further configured as follows: the diameter measuring module is also used to detect the aperture D of the material outlet hole, and send the aperture D to the calculation module. After receiving the aperture D, the calculation module calculates the difference between the diameter C and the aperture D, and makes a judgment. If the difference does not meet the standard, an abnormal hole outlet signal is sent to the notification module. After receiving the abnormal hole outlet signal, the notification module gives an abnormal hole outlet prompt.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, when the difference does not meet the standard, the glue-coated material may block the material outlet hole when being discharged.

[0020] In a preferred example, the present application can be further configured as follows: after the notification module receives the hole abnormality signal, it queries the corresponding parameters in the parameter module and compares them with the aperture D. If they are inconsistent, a hole abnormality prompt is issued.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the aperture D is compared with the aperture of the material outlet hole that should be used for the material currently produced in the parameter module. If they are inconsistent, it indicates that the material outlet hole is installed incorrectly.

[0022] In a preferred example, the present application can be further configured as follows: if the corresponding parameter in the parameter module is consistent with the aperture D, the notification module obtains the diameter C and the corresponding parameter in the parameter module, and compares them. If they are consistent, a maintenance notification is issued.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, if the diameter C is consistent with the diameter after gluing in the parameter module, and the aperture D is consistent with the aperture of the material outlet hole that should be used for the material currently to be produced in the parameter module, it indicates that there is a fault in the diameter measuring module and needs to be repaired.

[0027] The present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Reference Figure 1The present application discloses a torsion-resistant butterfly-shaped drop cable comprising a main body 2, which includes an optical fiber 22 and a strength member 21. The main body 2 is also provided with a reinforcement member comprising an outer sheath 1 and a reinforcement core 11. The reinforcement core 11 is located within and concentric with the outer sheath 1. The outer sheath 1 and the main body 2 are fixedly connected, and the axis of the outer sheath 1 is aligned with the axis of the strength member 21 and the optical fiber 22. In this embodiment, both the reinforcement core 11 and the strength member 21 are made of metal wire, and the diameter of the reinforcement core 11 is larger than that of the strength member 21.

[0029] Reference Figure 2 This application also discloses a method for manufacturing a torsion-resistant butterfly-shaped drop optical cable, including a gluing step. During the gluing step, a reinforcing core 11 or a reinforcing member 21 enters a hot melt adhesive heating device through a material inlet hole and exits through a hot melt adhesive material outlet hole. The hot melt adhesive heating device is used to melt the hot melt adhesive, and the reinforcing core 11 or the reinforcing member 21 passes through the molten hot melt adhesive, causing the hot melt adhesive to adhere to the reinforcing core 11 or the reinforcing member 21.

[0030] In the gluing step, a gluing system is used. The gluing system includes a diameter measuring module 31, a calculation module 32, a notification module 33, a parameter module 35, a query module 34 and a temperature measurement module 36. The diameter measuring module 31 is used to detect the diameter A of the material and the aperture B of the material inlet hole, and send the diameter A and the aperture B to the calculation module 32. The calculation module 32 calculates the difference between the diameter A and the aperture B, and makes a judgment. If the difference does not meet the standard, an alarm signal is sent to the notification module 33. After receiving the alarm signal, the notification module 33 issues an alarm.

[0031] After receiving the diameter A, the calculation module 32 queries the corresponding parameters in the parameter module 35 and performs difference calculation. If the difference does not meet the standard, a material abnormality signal is sent to the notification module 33, and the notification module 33 prompts the material abnormality.

[0032] The diameter measuring module 31 is also used to detect the diameter C of the material after gluing and the aperture D of the material outlet hole, and send the diameter C and aperture D to the calculation module 32. After receiving the diameter C, the calculation module 32 calculates the difference between the diameter C and the diameter A, and makes a judgment. If the difference does not meet the standard, a gluing abnormality signal is sent to the notification module 33. After receiving the gluing abnormality signal, the notification module 33 gives a gluing abnormality prompt.

[0033] The temperature measurement module 36 is used to detect the temperature T used to heat the rubber material. If the difference between the diameter C and the diameter A is less than the standard value, the calculation module 32 sends an abnormal signal to the query module 34. After receiving the abnormal signal, the query module 34 queries the temperature T detected by the temperature measurement module 36 and the corresponding parameters in the parameter module 35, and compares them. If they are inconsistent, a temperature abnormality signal is sent to the notification module 33.

[0034] Calculation module 32 also calculates the difference between diameter C and aperture D and makes a judgment. If the difference does not meet the standard, it sends a hole abnormality signal to notification module 33. After receiving the hole abnormality signal, notification module 33 queries the corresponding parameters in parameter module 35 and compares them with aperture D. If they do not match, it issues a hole abnormality prompt. If the corresponding parameters in parameter module 35 match aperture D, notification module 33 obtains diameter C and the corresponding parameters in parameter module 35 and compares them. If they match, it issues a maintenance notification.

[0035] The implementation principle of this embodiment is: in production, by setting reinforcing components and applying the reinforcing core 11 and the reinforcing member 21 set by gluing, the optical cable can provide mechanical performance protection such as flattening and stretching, overhead tensile strength and torsion resistance. At the same time, the gluing step of the reinforcing core 11 and the reinforcing member 21 is tested, which can greatly improve the quality of the produced optical cable.

[0036] The embodiments of this specific implementation method are all preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
