Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of cables and relates to a non-metallic high-temperature-resistant temperature sensing optical cable. BACKGROUND

[0002] An optical cable is a light transmission tool that uses the principle of total reflection of light in glass or plastic fibers. It is composed of optical fibers, plastic protective sleeves, and plastic outer skins. It plays a crucial role in modern communication networks, enabling high-speed and high-capacity data transmission, and is widely used in telecommunications, the Internet, cable television, and many other fields, providing a stable and reliable physical channel for rapid information dissemination.

[0003] With the continuous development of industry, in some special working environments such as petroleum chemical industry, steel smelting, and power energy, conventional optical cables cannot meet the needs. The temperature in these environments is often hundreds of degrees Celsius or even higher. Ordinary metal materials in the optical cable are prone to deformation and oxidation at high temperatures, which can cause signal transmission performance to decline or even be interrupted. At the same time, metal materials can also cause electromagnetic interference, affecting the accuracy of the signal. Therefore, in order to adapt to the communication and monitoring needs in these extreme high-temperature environments, it is necessary to develop non-metallic high-temperature-resistant temperature sensing optical cables. Such optical cables not only need to have good high-temperature resistance, but also need to be able to accurately sense temperature changes to ensure the safe and stable operation of related equipment and systems.

[0004] However, the existing technology for preparing non-metallic high-temperature-resistant temperature sensing optical cables has some shortcomings. On the one hand, in terms of material selection, although some non-metallic materials have certain high-temperature resistance, their physical and chemical properties will still change slowly under the long-term action of high temperature, causing the mechanical and optical properties of the optical cable to gradually deteriorate, affecting the service life. On the other hand, in terms of temperature sensing technology, the existing temperature sensing elements and principles need to be improved in terms of accuracy and stability in high-temperature environments, making it difficult to meet the stringent requirements for accurate temperature measurement and real-time monitoring. In addition, the preparation process is relatively complex and costly, which to some extent limits the large-scale application and promotion of non-metallic high-temperature-resistant temperature sensing optical cables.
