Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of flat cables, in particular to a pre-termination of an indoor and outdoor introduced flat cable and a processing method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Flat cables are flat in shape. Compared with round cables, they take up less space with the same cross-sectional area. Especially in narrow spaces or where tight wiring is required, flat cables can better adapt to space constraints and avoid the crowding and confusion that may occur with round cables. In addition, the layout of flat cables is more reasonable and delicate, and the size is small. It can solve the bending problem of the use environment without causing kinks. The flat shape of flat cables makes it easier to install and fix. Flat cables can be firmly installed on the surface or internal structure of the equipment by pasting, clamping or screwing, while round cables need to be fixed with special cable clamps or pipes, and the installation process is relatively complicated. In addition, flat cables are lighter in weight, easier to carry and install, and reduce the labor during installation. Dynamic strength. Although the flat cable is relatively flat in appearance, it still has a certain degree of flexibility and can be bent and twisted to a certain extent. This flexibility allows the flat cable to adapt to different installation angles and shape requirements, providing more possibilities for the design and layout of the equipment. In contrast, the bending radius of the round cable is larger, which may be limited in some occasions that require frequent bending. The flat shape of the flat cable increases its contact area with the air, which is conducive to heat dissipation. In some high-power equipment, the heat dissipation performance of the cable is crucial. The flat cable can better dissipate the heat generated inside the cable, reduce the temperature of the cable, and improve the reliability and service life of the cable. The heat dissipation performance of the round cable is relatively poor, and additional heat dissipation measures may need to be taken in high-power applications.

[0008] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a pre-end for introducing a flat cable indoors and outdoors, comprising a flat cable body, wherein an A-end flat multi-core splitter and a B-end flat multi-core splitter are respectively fixedly installed at both ends of the flat cable body, and one side of the A-end flat multi-core splitter and one side of the B-end flat multi-core splitter are fixedly connected with a plurality of branch lines, one side of the plurality of branch lines are fixedly connected with a connection assembly, one side of the plurality of connection assemblies are fixedly installed with a joint assembly, and the joint assembly comprises a stress cone and a flange, one end of the flange is connected to one end of the stress cone, and the other end of the flange is connected with a heat shrinkable sealing tube.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, one end of the first connecting line away from the retainer is connected to the branch line, and one end of the second connecting line away from the retainer is connected to the connector assembly.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a bracelet contact is installed on the side of the stress cone away from the flange, a cone clamp is fixedly installed on one side of the bracelet contact, and a sealing cover is clamped and installed on the surface of the cone clamp.
[0012] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a cable is installed on the side of the heat shrinkable sealing tube away from the flange, and one end of the cable away from the heat shrinkable sealing tube is connected to the connecting assembly.
[0013] The present invention provides a method for pre-terminating an indoor and outdoor flat cable, comprising the following steps:
[0014] Step 1: Wire cutting: Prepare the corresponding wire cutting tools. Before stripping the wires, carefully observe the structure of the flat cable and identify the various parts of the cable, especially the insulation layer and the conductor. Through careful observation, better determine the stripping position to avoid damage to the wires inside the cable and perform wire stripping.
[0015] Step 2: Make branches: Select an insulating sleeve of appropriate size and insert it into the exposed conductor, ensuring that the insulating sleeve fully covers the conductor and fits tightly with the conductor. To improve the connection quality of the crimping connector, appropriately reduce the lead-out distance, strip a length of the cable conductor under the insulating sleeve, and trim the conductor with a wire stripper. According to the flat cable and the selected crimping connector model, use a screwdriver of appropriate size or a special tool for crimping, ensuring that the screwdriver is tightened evenly to achieve a good electrical connection;
[0016] Step 3: Fiber introduction: insert multiple optical fibers into a loose tube made of high modulus plastic filled with water-blocking composite, place reinforcements evenly outside the loose tube, and place two FRPs in parallel on both sides;
[0017] Step 4: Thread the loose parts: Thread the various loose parts onto the optical fiber in advance, in the following order: rubber sheath, heat shrink tube, support tube, spring, and pay attention to whether the direction is correct;
[0018] Step 5: Peel off the outer sheath: Use aramid scissors to cut the length of the optical cable as needed, and then simply coil it;
[0019] Step 6: Glue injection: Use auxiliary tools to evenly mix Part A and Part B of 353nd glue in a ratio of 10:1, and inject the glue after minimizing bubbles;
[0020] Step 7: Curing: Put the ferrule with the optical fiber into the curing oven and bake it until the 353nd glue is completely cured and removed;
[0021] Step 8. Crimping: Use a screwdriver or special tool of appropriate size to crimp the flat cable and the type of crimping connector you choose. Make sure to tighten the screwdriver evenly to achieve a good electrical connection;
[0022] Step 9, grinding: Grind the end face of the ferrule on a grinder. The general process is 9u, 3u, 1u, 0.05u;
[0023] Step 10: End face inspection: Use an end inspection instrument with a magnification of 400 times to check the grinding effect of the ferrule end face. End faces with black spots or large scratches are considered unqualified and need to be re-grinded;
[0024] Step 11, 3D interference detection: The product is subjected to the analysis of the interferometer and interference fringes. The interferometer and the analysis of interference fringes evaluate the spherical radius and fiber height of the end face of the optical fiber connector. First, the shape of the connector end face must be measured. The interferometer has the advantages of high measurement, fast speed and low cost. It is an effective means to measure the surface shape. After the light emitted by the light source is reflected by the semi-transparent mirror to the Mirow interference objective lens, the light is focused on the end face of the optical fiber connector to be tested. After the end face is reflected, the light reflected by the reflective surface of the Mirow interference objective lens passes through the semi-transparent mirror together with the light, and the image is formed on the CCD camera. At this time, the interference fringes can be observed on the CCD camera. The image measured by the CCD camera is transmitted to the computer through the image card for analysis and processing. We get the measurement results we need. The PZT (piezoelectric ceramic assembly) controlled by the computer through the control card and the control loop is used to move the Mirow interference objective lens to produce phase shift. The Fourier transform method 2, 3, 4 can be used to analyze the interference fringes, and the phase shift method 5, 6 can also be used. The Fourier transform method has the advantages of simplicity, speed and low cost, but it is relatively low and is generally used for simple measuring instruments. For the measurement of the end face shape of the optical fiber connector, the phase shift method with higher resolution is generally used. It must be pointed out that phase connection is a relatively complex process. Choosing different phase connection algorithms will result in different calculation speeds and stability.
[0025] Step 12: Polarity test: Use the desktop MPO / MTP single-mode and multi-mode patch cord polarity tester to test the polarity of the product;
[0026] Step 13: Assemble: Assemble the ground ferrule and parts into a connector, and crimp the tail sleeve using crimping pliers or a crimping machine;
[0027] Step 14: Finished product testing: Use the insertion loss tester to measure the main data of the optical fiber head, and the quality inspection personnel will conduct random inspections on qualified products after the test to control the quality;
[0028] Step 15: Packaging: Final packaging of qualified products.
[0029] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the wire cutting tools in step 1 specifically include wire strippers or wire stripping knives, wire stripping shears and other auxiliary tools. Make sure these tools are clean, sharp, and in good working condition. The wire cutting and stripping in step 1 specifically involves gently stripping the outer skin. Use wire strippers or wire stripping knives to gently strip the outer skin of the cable, keep your hands stable, use moderate force, and avoid cutting the internal wires. If more delicate operations are required, use a wallpaper knife to make scratches of a certain depth in the opposite direction of the head at the center of both sides of the flat cable, and then use a wallpaper knife to cut longitudinally along the gap between the insulations of the two cores to separate the insulation from the insulation. Finally, use pliers to clamp the outer skin head and use it to separate it from the insulation layer, and cut the separated outer sheath with a blade to keep it neat and beautiful.
[0030] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the debonding in step seven is specifically to cut off the excess optical fiber exposed in the front, install the optical fiber head on a grinding fixture, polish it with debonding sandpaper, and remove the glue on the ferrule head.
[0031] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the main data in step fourteen are specifically such as insertion loss and return loss. The insertion loss of single mode should be less than or equal to 0.3dB, and the return loss should be greater than or equal to 50dB.
[0032] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0033] 1. The use of pre-terminated flat cable technology effectively reduces the technician cost required for construction welding, reduces the on-site labor cost burden for customers, and thus reduces the overall application cost. In addition, the pre-terminated design not only greatly reduces labor costs, but also greatly improves construction efficiency, realizes the convenience of ready-to-use, ensures the rapid advancement of the project, and thus enhances the market competitiveness of the product at the efficiency level;
[0034] 2. Compared with flat cables spliced on site, the pre-terminated solution significantly improves the reliability of the interface position, solves the problem of limited straight-pull and side-pull and interface protection during on-site splicing, completely eliminates this bottleneck, and sets a new benchmark for product reliability;

6. A method for pre-termination of an indoor and outdoor flat cable according to any one of claims 1 to 5, characterized in that: The following steps are involved: Step 1: Wire cutting: Prepare the corresponding wire cutting tools. Before stripping the wires, carefully observe the structure of the flat cable and identify the various parts of the cable, especially the insulation layer and the conductor. Through careful observation, better determine the stripping position to avoid damage to the wires inside the cable and perform wire stripping. Step 2: Make branches: Select an insulating sleeve of appropriate size and insert it into the exposed conductor, ensuring that the insulating sleeve fully covers the conductor and fits tightly with the conductor. To improve the connection quality of the crimping connector, appropriately reduce the lead-out distance, strip a length of the cable conductor under the insulating sleeve, and trim the conductor with a wire stripper. According to the flat cable and the selected crimping connector model, use a screwdriver of appropriate size or a special tool for crimping, ensuring that the screwdriver is tightened evenly to achieve a good electrical connection; Step 3: Fiber introduction: insert multiple optical fibers into a loose tube made of high modulus plastic filled with water-blocking composite, place reinforcements evenly outside the loose tube, and place two FRPs in parallel on both sides; Step 4: Thread the loose parts: Thread the various loose parts onto the optical fiber in advance, in the following order: rubber sheath, heat shrink tube, support tube, spring, and pay attention to whether the direction is correct; Step 5: Peel off the outer sheath: Use aramid scissors to cut the length of the optical cable as needed, and then simply coil it; Step 6: Glue injection: Use auxiliary tools to evenly mix Part A and Part B of 353nd glue in a ratio of 10:1, and inject the glue after minimizing bubbles; Step 7: Curing: Put the ferrule with the optical fiber into the curing oven and bake it until the 353nd glue is completely cured and removed; Step 8. Crimping: Use a screwdriver or special tool of appropriate size to crimp the flat cable and the selected crimping terminal model, making sure to tighten the screwdriver evenly to achieve a good electrical connection; Step 9, grinding: Grind the end face of the ferrule on a grinder. The general process is 9u, 3u, 1u, 0.05u; Step 10: End face inspection: Use an end inspection instrument with a magnification of 400 times to check the grinding effect of the ferrule end face. End faces with black spots or large scratches are considered unqualified and need to be re-grinded; Step 11, 3D interference detection: The product is subjected to interferometer and interference fringe analysis. The interferometer and interference fringe analysis evaluate the spherical radius and fiber height of the fiber connector end face. First, the shape of the connector end face must be measured. The interferometer has the advantages of high measurement, fast speed and low cost. It is an effective means to measure the surface shape. The light emitted by the light source is reflected by the semi-transparent mirror to the Mirow interference objective lens. The light is focused on the end face of the fiber connector to be tested. After being reflected by the end face, it passes through the semi-transparent mirror together with the light reflected by the reflective surface of the Mirow interference objective lens, and is imaged on the CCD camera. At this time, interference fringes can be observed on the CCD camera. The image measured by the CCD camera is The image card is sent to the computer for analysis and processing, and the measurement results we need are obtained. The PZT (piezoelectric ceramic component) controlled by the computer through the control card and the control loop is used to move the Miro interference objective lens to produce phase shift. The interference fringes can be analyzed by Fourier transform method 2, 3, 4, or phase shift method 5, 6. The Fourier transform method has the advantages of simplicity, speed and low cost, but it is relatively low and is generally used for simple measuring instruments. For the measurement of the end face shape of the optical fiber connector, the phase shift method with higher resolution is generally used. It must be pointed out that phase connection is a relatively complex process. Choosing different phase connection algorithms will result in different calculation speed and stability. Step 12: Polarity test: Use the desktop MPO / MTP single-mode and multi-mode patch cord polarity tester to test the polarity of the product; Step 13: Assemble: Assemble the ground ferrule and parts into a connector, and crimp the tail sleeve using crimping pliers or a crimping machine; Step 14: Finished product testing: Use the insertion loss tester to measure the main data of the optical fiber head, and the quality inspection personnel will conduct random inspections on qualified products after the test to control the quality; Step 15: Packaging: Final packaging of qualified products.
7. A method for pre-termination of indoor and outdoor flat cables according to claim 6, characterized in that: The wire cutting tools in step one specifically include wire strippers or wire stripping knives, wire stripping shears and other auxiliary tools. Make sure that these tools are clean, sharp and in good working condition. The wire cutting and stripping in step one specifically involves gently stripping the outer sheath. Use wire strippers or wire stripping knives to gently strip the outer sheath of the cable, keep your hands stable, use moderate force, and avoid cutting the internal wires. If more delicate operations are required, use a wallpaper knife to make scratches of a certain depth in the opposite direction of the head at the center position of both sides of the flat cable, and then use the wallpaper knife to cut longitudinally along the gap between the insulations of the two cores to separate the insulation from the insulation. Finally, use pliers to clamp the outer sheath head, use it to separate it from the insulation layer, and cut the separated outer sheath with a blade to keep it neat and beautiful.
8. A method for pre-termination of indoor and outdoor flat cables according to claim 6, characterized in that: The glue removal in step seven specifically includes cutting off the excess optical fiber exposed in the front, mounting the optical fiber head on a grinding fixture, and polishing it with glue-removing sandpaper to remove the glue on the ferrule head.
9. A method for pre-termination of indoor and outdoor flat cables according to claim 6, characterized in that: The main data in step fourteen are specifically such as insertion loss and return loss. The insertion loss of single mode should be less than or equal to 0.3dB, and the return loss should be greater than or equal to 50dB.
