Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of optical cable production, and particularly relates to an intelligent spraying system for water-blocking ointment of optical cables. Background Art

[0002] An optical cable is manufactured to meet optical, mechanical, or environmental performance specifications, and is a communication cable assembly that uses one or more optical fibers placed in a cladding sheath as a transmission medium, used alone or in groups. An optical cable generally consists of several parts such as a cable core, strengthening steel wires, fillers, and a sheath. Additionally, there are components such as a waterproof layer, a buffer layer, and insulated metal wires according to requirements.

[0003] During the long-term use of an optical cable, due to the infiltration of moisture and dampness, the transmission performance of the optical cable will deteriorate, and it may even become unusable. During the preparation of communication optical cables, people attach great importance to the waterproof methods and waterproof materials of optical fibers and optical cables. In order to prevent the intrusion of moisture and damage to the optical fibers due to mutual friction during the production of optical cables, it is necessary to fill the gaps in the optical cable with cable ointment and coat the optical fibers with fiber ointment to ensure good mechanical properties of the optical fibers and extend their service life. The ointment filled in the loose tube of the optical fiber, usually called fiber ointment, is one of the materials that have the greatest impact on the performance of optical fibers in current stranded and central tube communication optical cables. It is generally believed that fiber ointment has two protection functions for optical fibers: preventing moisture intrusion and mechanical buffering.

[0004] An optical cable with metal tape armor consists of a cable core and appropriate water-blocking measures, with a double-sided coated steel / aluminum tape longitudinally wrapped outside and a polyethylene sheath. The longitudinal water-blocking and moisture-proof structure of this optical cable consists of two parts. One part is the water-blocking of the cable core of the optical cable, and the other part is the water-blocking at the overlapping part of the steel tape or aluminum tape. When the optical cable has steel / aluminum tape armor, in order to improve the water-blocking performance of the optical cable, a layer of solid glue that melts when heated or a water-swellable water-blocking ointment is continuously applied at its overlapping joint. However, in actual production, it is very difficult to achieve the best position and quantity of the hot melt adhesive or water-blocking ointment applied to the edge of the metal tape. During production, in order to ensure sealing, only the application amount is increased, resulting in the overflow of the ointment when longitudinally wrapping the steel / aluminum tape, which is not conducive to production. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an intelligent spraying system for water-blocking ointment of optical cables, which solves the problem that it is inconvenient to spray ointment on optical cables in the prior art.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: Optical cable water-blocking grease intelligent spraying system, including a fixed ring, the fixed ring is installed with a rotating ring, the fixed ring and the rotating ring are concentrically installed, the rotating ring is rotatably arranged on the fixed ring, the fixed ring is installed with a mounting seat, the mounting seat is fixedly provided with a driving component for driving the rotating ring to rotate, the mounting seat is installed with a moving component for driving it to move along a straight line, the moving components are signal-connected to each other, and the rotating ring is installed with a spraying nozzle.

[0007] In order to make the present invention have the function of facilitating the rotation of the rotating ring, further, a bearing is installed between the fixed ring and the rotating ring.

[0008] In order to make the present invention have the function of driving the rotating ring to rotate, further, the driving component includes a servo motor, a driving gear is installed on the servo motor, a toothed ring is provided on the rotating ring, and the toothed ring meshes with the driving gear.

[0009] In order to make the present invention have the function of driving the mounting seat to move, further, the moving component is a linear motor, and the mounting seat is fixedly arranged on the linear motor.

[0010] In order to make the present invention have the function of avoiding spraying to other positions of the cable, further, the spraying nozzle is close to the interface of the cable armor.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: The rotation of the driving component drives the mounting seat to move along the cable, the driving component drives the rotating ring to rotate, and the rotating of the mounting ring drives the nozzle to rotate. Since the driving component and the moving component are signal-connected, by adjusting the running track between the driving component and the moving component, the spraying nozzle can spray along the gap of the cable armor. Through the above operations, the problem that it is difficult to spray at the cable armor can be easily solved. Description of the Drawings

[0014] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0015] As shown in the figure, an intelligent spraying system for cable water-blocking ointment includes a fixing ring 1, on which a rotating ring 2 is installed. The fixing ring 1 and the rotating ring 2 are concentrically installed, and the rotating ring 2 is rotatably arranged on the fixing ring 1. An installation seat 3 is installed on the fixing ring 1, and a driving component 4 for driving the rotating ring 2 to rotate is fixedly arranged on the installation seat 3. A moving component 5 for driving the installation seat 3 to move along a straight line is installed on the installation seat 3. The driving component 5 is signal-connected to the moving component 5, and a spraying nozzle 6 is installed on the rotating ring 2.

[0016] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the rotation of the driving component 4 drives the installation seat 3 to move along the cable. The driving component 4 drives the rotating ring 2 to rotate. When the installation ring 2 rotates, it drives the nozzle to rotate. Since the driving component 4 and the moving component 5 are signal-connected, by adjusting the running track between the driving component 4 and the moving component 5, the spraying nozzle 6 can spray along the gap of the cable armor. Through the above operations, the problem of difficult spraying at the cable armor can be easily solved.

[0017] Preferably, a bearing is installed between the fixing ring 1 and the rotating ring 2, and when the rotating ring 2 rotates, the friction is smaller.

[0018] Specifically, the driving component 4 includes a servo motor 41, a driving gear 42 is installed on the servo motor 41, a toothed ring 43 is opened on the rotating ring 2, and the toothed ring 43 meshes with the driving gear 42; the rotation of the servo motor drives the driving gear to rotate, and when the driving gear rotates, it drives the toothed ring 43 to rotate, thereby driving the spraying nozzle 6 to rotate.

[0019] Preferably, the moving component 5 is a linear motor, and the installation seat 3 is fixedly arranged on the linear motor; the movement of the linear motor drives the installation seat 3 to move, so that the installation seat 3 moves along the length direction of the cable.

[0020] Preferably, the spraying nozzle 6 is close to the interface of the cable armor; to prevent the spraying nozzle 6 from spraying to other positions of the cable.

[0021] Specific working principle: The rotation of the driving component 4 drives the installation seat 3 to move along the cable. The driving component 4 drives the rotating ring 2 to rotate. When the installation ring 2 rotates, it drives the nozzle to rotate. Since the driving component 4 and the moving component 5 are signal-connected, by adjusting the running track between the driving component 4 and the moving component 5, the spraying nozzle 6 can spray along the gap of the cable armor. Through the above operations, the problem of difficult spraying at the cable armor can be easily solved.
