Thus, the features defined as "first", "second", "third" and "fourth" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features.

[0082] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly stipulated and limited, the terms such as "installation", "setting", "connection", "fixation" and "screw-on" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral one; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. Unless otherwise clearly defined, ordinary technicians in this field can understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0083] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the present invention proposes an anti-external damage optical cable warning device, comprising a warning light strip 1 wound on the optical cable, which mainly warns passing vehicles by flashing lights with relatively obvious colors on the warning light strip 1. The warning light strip 1 provides clear and intuitive visual warnings, which can effectively reduce hang-up accidents caused by the driver's failure to discover the optical cable in time, protect the optical cable from physical damage, and ensure the safe and stable operation of the communication network.

[0084] When the driver sees the flashing lights ahead, he can judge that there are objects ahead that need to be avoided, and can take corresponding measures. Prevent vehicles from hanging up the optical cable and reduce the incidents of optical cable damage. Effectively prevent communication interruption incidents caused by vehicles accidentally hanging up the optical cable, improve the effectiveness and all-weather warning capabilities of the optical cable warning device, improve the safety protection level of the optical cable line, and ensure the safe and stable operation of the optical cable.

[0085] Both ends of the warning light strip 1 are fixed to the optical cable by fixings, and the two ends of the warning light strip 1 are fixed by the fixings, so that the disassembly process is simple. When the warning light strip 1 needs to be replaced due to long-term use, the staff can open the fixings to disassemble the device of the present invention, remove the warning light strip 1 from the optical cable, and then carry out corresponding replacement and maintenance after disassembly, which is convenient for later replacement and maintenance, and reduces maintenance costs and time.

[0086] The fixing parts include a first fixing part 2 and a second fixing part 3, and the two ends of the warning light strip 1 are fixed by the first fixing part 2 and the second fixing part 3 to ensure the stability of the fixing of the warning light strip 1 and the convenience of subsequent maintenance and replacement.

[0087] The fixing part is an important part of the installation of the warning light strip 1, which is related to the stability and safety of the warning light strip 1. The clamp has a simple structure, is easy to install and has a significant fixing effect. Therefore, the fixing part can be a clamp.

[0088] The clamp can adopt the structure of two arc plates plus connecting ears currently available on the market. The arc plates are close to the optical cable, and connecting holes are set on the connecting ears. The warning light strip is fixed by passing a screw through the connecting hole and fixing it with a nut.

[0089] Preferably, considering the installation problem, the staff needs to go into the air to install, and in this embodiment, an adjustment structure that is easy to install is selected.

[0090] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, the first fixing member and the second fixing member have the same structure, the first fixing member comprises a fixing block 4-1, a fixing cover 4-2 for placing the optical cable is arranged on the side of the fixing block 4-1, a first adjusting rod 4-3 and a second adjusting rod 4-4 are arranged inside the fixing block 4-1, a first receiving cavity 4-5 and a second receiving cavity 4-6 are arranged inside the fixing block 4-1, an elastic member 4-7 is arranged in the first receiving cavity 4-5 and the second receiving cavity 4-6, the elastic member 4-7 is wound around the outside of the adjusting rod, a limiting plate 4-8 for limiting the elastic member 4-7 is arranged on the side of the first adjusting rod 4-3 and the side of the second adjusting rod 4-4, the first adjusting rod 4-3 is connected to a supporting plate 4-9 after passing through the first receiving cavity 4-5, the second adjusting rod 4-4 is connected to another position of the supporting plate 4-9 after passing through the second receiving cavity 4-6, the supporting plate 4-9 corresponds to the fixing cover 4-2, and in order to fit the shape of the optical cable, the supporting plate 4-9 and the fixing cover 4-2 form a circular shape.

[0091] During the specific installation, the staff connects the structure of the adjusting rod to the end of the adjusting rod through the operating rod end, pulls the first adjusting rod 4-3 and the second adjusting rod 4-4 to leave enough space for the optical cable, puts the optical cable into the circular structure composed of the support plate 4-9 and the fixed cover 4-2, and then releases the first adjusting rod 4-3 and the second adjusting rod 4-4. Under the force of the elastic member 4-7, the first adjusting rod 4-3 and the second adjusting rod 4-4 return to their original positions, so that the support plate 4-9 is close to the optical cable, and the device of the present invention is fixed on the optical cable, which is convenient for installation and can adapt to optical cables of different sizes.

[0092] In addition, two arc structures can be attached to the outside of the optical cable, with a buckle set at the end of one arc structure and a groove set at the end of the other arc structure. When installing, press the buckle into the groove to complete the fixation.

[0093] A control box 2 - 1 is disposed on the side of the first fixing member 2 , and the power supply, switch and first control module etc. required for the flashing of the warning light strip 1 are all housed in the control box 2 - 1 , thus saving the installation space of the device of the present invention.

[0094] At the same time, the control box 2-1 effectively prevents the various small components inside it from malfunctioning due to natural damage such as wind, sun, rain, etc. due to environmental factors. In addition, the design of the control box 2-1 facilitates the inspection and replacement of batteries, circuit maintenance, or upgrading of control modules. When maintenance is required, the connection between the warning light strip 1 and the control box 2-1 can be disconnected, and the first fixing member 2 and the control box 2-1 can be taken down for maintenance on the ground, eliminating the high-altitude maintenance process, ensuring the personal safety of the staff while reducing the difficulty and cost of maintenance.

[0095] The control box 2-1 integrates the first control module, the first battery 2-2, the switch and the first solar panel 2-3. The first control module, the first battery 2-2, the switch and the first solar panel 2-3 are integrated into one through the control box 2-1.

[0096] The first control module is simultaneously connected to the first battery 2 - 2 , the first solar panel 2 - 3 , the warning light strip 1 and the switch.

[0097] The first control module is responsible for receiving signals from the switch, the first battery 2-2, and the first solar panel 2-3, and controlling the charging and discharging process of the first battery 2-2 and the charging and discharging process of the first solar panel 2-3 through the first control module.

[0098] At the same time, the power supply of the warning light strip 1 is controlled by the first control module. When the first control module receives the signal from the switch, it takes corresponding action to promptly cut off the power supply of the warning light strip 1 or supply power to the warning light strip 1 to ensure that the battery works within a safe range and control the current supply of the warning light strip 1.

[0099] The first battery 2-2 serves as a backup power source for the system. When the first solar panel 2-3 cannot supply power at night or due to insufficient light, the first battery 2-2 provides a stable power supply for the warning light strip 1. This ensures that the warning light strip 1 can continue to emit light when there is a lack of sunlight and the first solar panel 2-3 cannot absorb enough solar energy.

[0100] The first solar panel 2-3 converts solar energy into electrical energy. The electricity generated by the first solar panel 2-3 is adjusted and stabilized by the first control module to supply power to the warning light strip 1 or charge the first battery 2-2. The warning light strip 1 is provided with instant power. When there is sufficient light, the first control module can be adjusted to charge the first battery 2-2, thereby realizing the recycling of energy.

[0101] During the day, the first solar panel 2-3 absorbs solar energy to generate electricity, and the first control module stabilizes the electricity generated by the first solar panel 2-3 to ensure that the power supply voltage received by the warning light strip 1 is stable. The power supply is first supplied to the warning light strip 1, and when there is excess power, the first battery 2-2 is charged.

[0102] In order to save energy, the device of the present invention adopts a dual-mode power supply method of battery power supply and solar panel power supply, which improves energy utilization efficiency and ensures that the device can work stably both during the day and at night. During the day, when there is sufficient light, the solar panel is used as the main energy source, charging and supplying power through the first solar panel 2-3; at night or when there is insufficient light, batteries are used for power supply, which makes full use of natural resources, reduces battery consumption, and reduces long-term operating costs.

[0103] When there is sufficient sunlight during the day, the first solar panel 2-3 efficiently absorbs solar energy and converts it into electrical energy. The converted electrical energy is first stabilized by the voltage stabilization processing module of the first control module, thereby ensuring that the voltage output from the first solar panel 2-3 to the warning light strip 1 is stable and safe. Part of the stabilized electrical energy is directly supplied to the warning light strip 1 to meet its lighting needs; the other part of the excess electrical energy is controlled by the first control module to charge the first battery 2-2, preparing for power supply at night or when there is insufficient sunlight.

[0104] At night or when there is insufficient light, the first battery 2-2 starts to work as a backup power source. The first control module provides a stable power supply to the warning light strip 1 to ensure that the warning effect of the warning light strip 1 is not affected.

[0105] A storage box 3-1 is provided on the side of the second fixing member 3, and the storage box 3-1 integrates a GPS positioning device 3-2, a second battery 3-3, a camera 3-4 and a second solar panel 3-5. The storage box 3-1 protects the internal small components from damage by the external environment.

[0106] The GPS positioning device 3-2 can record the latitude and longitude information of the optical cable in real time. By inserting a SIM card into the GPS positioning device 3-2, the SIM card serves as a bridge between the GPS positioning device 3-2 and the mobile network, so that the positioning information can be sent to the background terminal in real time and accurately. By sending this positioning information to the background terminal through the mobile network, the operation and maintenance personnel can grasp the exact location of the optical cable at any time, which provides an important basis for the safety protection and emergency repair work of the optical cable.

[0107] The second battery 3-3 serves as a backup power source to provide a stable power supply to the GPS positioning device 3-2 when it needs to continue to work, ensuring that the GPS positioning device can maintain normal operation even when there is insufficient light or the solar panel cannot work properly.

[0108] The second solar panel 3-5 provides green and sustainable energy supply for the GPS positioning device 3-2, the camera 3-4 and the second battery 3-3. When there is sufficient sunlight, the electricity generated by the solar panel is first supplied to these components, and the second battery 3-3 can also be charged through the regulation of the second control module.

[0109] The GPS positioning device 3-2 is used to record the longitude and latitude of the optical cable and send it to the back-end terminal via the SIM card. If the optical cable is damaged, the longitude and latitude of the optical cable will change significantly. The back-end terminal can judge whether the optical cable is damaged by external force by the change of longitude and latitude. If the optical cable is damaged, the back-end terminal can issue an optical cable break alarm. The operation and maintenance personnel can accurately find the location of the optical cable break according to the longitude and latitude of the location of the optical cable break, and carry out emergency repairs, thereby improving the efficiency of preventing the optical cable from being damaged and repairing the optical cable break.

[0110] The second solar panel 3-5 is connected to a second control module, which is used to control the charging and discharging process of the second battery 3-3 and the charging and discharging process of the second solar panel 3-5, and to supply power to the camera 3-4 and the GPS positioning device 3-2 through the second battery 3-3 and the second solar panel 3-5. At the same time, the working state of the second battery 3-3 and the second solar panel 3-5 is consistent with the working state and process of the first battery 2-2 and the first solar panel 2-3, and is controlled by the control module to complete the dual-mode power supply process. The solar panel charges and supplies power during the day, and the battery supplies power at night to ensure the power supply of the camera 3-4 and the GPS positioning device 3-2.

[0111] Camera 3-4 is used to shoot the surrounding environment. Camera 3-4 is aimed at the bottom of the optical cable and can shoot the scene below the optical cable in real time. At the same time, the picture can be transmitted to the background terminal in real time. When the optical cable is broken, it can be investigated to assist in evidence collection.

[0112] Preferably, the camera 3-4 is a pinhole camera, which is very compact, small, and light, and is easy to transport, install, maintain, and replace. In addition, the pinhole camera is highly concealed and small, and can be more easily hidden in various environments and is not easily noticed by passing drivers. This enables real-time monitoring without being noticed, reducing the possibility of human interference and damage.

[0113] The light color of the warning light strip 1 is red and blue. The light colors of the red and blue dual-color lights are both brighter and more contrasting, which can attract the driver's attention more clearly at night or in a dim environment.

[0114] The warning light strip 1 is illuminated with flashing lights, and the flashing light pattern further enhances visibility, so that the warning light strip 1 can be quickly identified at a long distance, which can immediately arouse people's vigilance and attention, and can effectively remind passing vehicles and pedestrians to pay attention to the existence of the optical cable to avoid accidental damage.

[0115] A buffer pad is arranged on the inner side of the fixing part, which can effectively disperse and relieve the pressure exerted by the inner side of the fixing part on the surface of the optical cable, so that the fixing part can be more closely attached to the surface of the optical cable, preventing the fixing part from causing damage to the surface of the optical cable.

[0116] Preferably, the insulating pad can be made of insulating rubber material, which has excellent friction properties and can ensure that when the fixing piece is fixed on the optical cable, it can firmly grasp the optical cable to prevent it from sliding, which helps to maintain the stability of the fixing piece under adverse weather conditions and facilitates the operation of the staff. In addition, the insulating rubber material has good deformation properties and can be more closely attached to the surface of the optical cable, which helps to reduce wear and scratches on the surface of the optical cable.

[0117] More importantly, insulating rubber is a high-performance insulating material that can effectively isolate current and voltage. In high-voltage or high-electricity environments, insulating rubber insulating pads can ensure the safety of workers and prevent accidents during the installation process.

[0118] The length of the warning light belt 1 is at least 7 meters. The length of the optical cable section across the road section in Hotan, Xinjiang is generally five meters or ten meters. In order to ensure that the optical cable section across the road section is completely wrapped by the warning light belt 1, the length of the warning light belt 1 is at least 7 meters.

[0119] The first battery 2-2 and the second battery 3-3 are both 3.7V batteries. The 3.7V battery has a low self-discharge rate and can be stored for a long time without frequent charging.

[0120] The fixings are made of stainless steel. The fixings are fixed on the outdoor optical cables and need to withstand wind, sun and rain for a long time. Stainless steel is corrosion-resistant and can maintain good performance in harsh environments such as humidity, acid and alkali. Therefore, the fixings made of stainless steel will not rust even if they are exposed to wind and rain for a long time, which can prevent the fixings from rusting.

[0121] The voltage value required for the warning light strip 1 is 3V. The warning light strip 1 of the device of the present invention is powered by analog power. The battery voltage may fluctuate due to factors such as the battery state or load changes. The voltage value of the warning light strip 1 is 3V, which can enhance the stability of the system and enable the warning light strip 1 to maintain a stable working state under various voltage conditions.

[0122] The warning light strip 1 comprises a sleeve, a wire core and a bulb. The wire core and the bulb are arranged inside the sleeve. The bulb and the wire core are protected by the sleeve. The wire core is connected to a power source to supply power to the bulb.

[0123] The sleeve is made of silicone material, which has excellent high and low temperature resistance, can remain stable in the temperature range of -60℃ to 250℃, and is not easy to deform or damage. The sleeve can still maintain the normal operation of the warning light strip 1 under extreme temperature conditions. And silicone has good softness and elasticity, easy to bend and shape, making the warning light strip 1 more flexible during installation and winding, and easy to install and fix. In addition, silicone can prevent current leakage and short circuit, and protect the safety of the internal wire core circuit of the warning light strip 1.

[0124] The light bulb adopts an LED light bulb. The LED light bulb has extremely high energy efficiency and can convert more electrical energy into light energy, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the warning light strip 1 of the device of the present invention. In addition, general LED light bulbs are dimmable and can adjust the brightness as needed to meet different lighting needs, which can be adjusted according to the actual situation on site.

[0125] Preferably, an aluminum substrate is arranged inside the sleeve as a circuit board of the light strip. The aluminum substrate has excellent heat dissipation performance and can effectively conduct away the heat generated by the warning light strip 1 to prevent performance degradation or damage of the warning light strip 1 caused by overheating.

[0126] In addition, an aluminum profile heat sink can be attached to the outside of the warning light strip 1, and the aluminum profile heat sink and the aluminum substrate in the sleeve can be connected to reduce the temperature of the LED by metal heat conduction to ensure that the performance of the warning light strip 1 is less degraded.

[0127] The side of the storage box 3-1 is also provided with an infrared monitoring device and a buzzer alarm. Both the infrared monitoring device and the buzzer alarm are powered by the second battery 3-3 and the second solar panel 3-5 in dual mode. The main function of the infrared monitoring device is to monitor whether there is a vehicle passing by. When a vehicle is detected passing by, a signal is sent to the buzzer alarm to trigger the alarm mechanism. The buzzer alarm starts immediately after receiving the signal from the infrared monitoring device, and warns the driver by emitting a loud sound, reminding them that there is an optical cable ahead and they need to pass carefully.

[0128] During the day, due to the strong light, the warning light strip 1 is not clearly displayed, and the prompt effect is not obvious. The buzzer alarm can be used as an auxiliary warning method. The buzzer alarm is used as an auxiliary warning method, combined with the dual warning methods of sound and light, so that sound and light warn at the same time, which can more effectively attract the attention of the driver and ensure that the driver can notice the optical cable ahead in time and pass carefully during driving.

[0129] As another embodiment of the present invention, the present invention can also be used in conjunction with a signboard, which is installed in a conspicuous position near the optical cable, so that the driver can easily see it. For example, at an appropriate distance in front of the road, the driver is ensured to have enough time and space to react. At the same time, considering the sight conditions and driving speeds of different sections of the road, the number and spacing of the signboards also need to be reasonably planned to achieve the best warning effect.

[0130] Preferably, the height of the optical cable and the recommended safe passing conditions are displayed on the signboard. Additional warning statements can also be set on the signboard, such as "Be careful of high-altitude optical cables, drive carefully", "Vehicle height limit is XX meters, please slow down and detour", etc., to further enhance the driver's safety awareness and warn the driver to avoid.

[0131] Preferably, the information on the signboard is in large fonts and eye-catching colors to ensure that drivers can quickly capture key information when they glance at it quickly.

[0132] When the warning process attracts the driver's attention through the warning light strip 1 and the sound and light alarm, it causes a preliminary alert; then the driver is reminded of the height of the optical cable through the warning information on the signboard, and the driver judges whether the vehicle will scratch the high-altitude optical cable. If the height of the vehicle exceeds the height limit shown on the signboard, the driver will have enough time to slow down, stop or find other routes to bypass, thereby effectively avoiding the occurrence of scratch accidents.

[0133] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in this field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.

[0134] Many other changes and modifications may be made without departing from the concept and scope of the present invention.It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.
