Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a steel belt punching and polishing device for an optical cable and a humidity-bearing optical cable thereof, and in particular to the field of optical fiber and cable sensing. Background Art

[0002] In the optical cable manufacturing industry, to protect the cable from the external environment, one or more layers of steel tape are typically wrapped around the cable to enhance its mechanical properties and tensile strength. During the steel tape wrapping process, to ensure the quality and service life of the cable, the tape must be polished and smoothed to remove any burrs or unevenness. Appropriate holes must also be punched to allow the cable to see through the tape to monitor the external environment.

[0003] The traditional method of processing steel belts often adopts manual grinding and manual punching. This method is not only inefficient, but also difficult to ensure the consistency of processing quality. When punching the steel belt, it is impossible to ensure whether the hole position is flat, and the stability of the steel belt position cannot be guaranteed during the punching process. When the punched steel belt is shaped into a round tube, the optical cable needs to be placed in the round tube. It is necessary to ensure that the position of the optical cable is consistent with the hole position, and to ensure that the optical cable is not damaged when wrapping. In addition, manual operation may also cause damage to the surface of the steel belt, thereby affecting the overall performance of the optical cable. Therefore, it is very necessary to design a device that can automatically complete the steel belt grinding and flattening processing, and accurately punch holes at the same time.
