The isolation between the inside of the protective housing 3 and the external environment is achieved through the gate assembly. At the same time, the stability of the optical cable joint 2 inside the protective housing 3 is controlled by the limiting plate 6, avoiding damage during the transportation of the optical cable.

[0024] Embodiment 2 On the basis of Embodiment 1, the gate assembly includes two blocking blocks 7 symmetrically arranged front and back and two groups of door body assemblies sliding in the up and down direction.

[0028] When installing the optical cable, by pulling the control sleeve 20 to the right, the slider three 21 slides to the right. Through the pulling of the transmission rope 23, the slider two 15 moves away from the central axis direction of the optical cable body, thus completing the opening of the gate assembly. At this time, the staff manually pulls the optical cable to adjust the extended length of the optical cable.

The other end of the transmission rope 23 is fixedly connected to the slider one 11 after passing around the rotating roller 19.

[0030] The beneficial effects of the above technical solutions are as follows: As the control sleeve 20 is pulled to the right, the control inclined surface one 28 and the control inclined surface two 30 are squeezed, so that the upper fixing member 24 and the lower fixing member 25 move away from each other, thereby realizing the loosening of the clamping of the optical cable main body 1, facilitating the pulling of the optical cable main body 1, and adjusting the extended length of the optical cable joint 2.

[0031] During the transportation or use of the optical cable, the upper fixing member 24 and the lower fixing member 25 approach each other under the action of the fifth spring 26, thereby realizing the clamping of the optical cable main body 1, ensuring the stability of the length of the optical cable main body 1 entering the protection housing 3 during the use or transportation of the optical cable, and preventing the optical cable main body 1 from moving back and forth in the protection housing 3, causing damage to the optical cable.

[0032] Embodiment 4 On the basis of Embodiment 3, it further includes a second auxiliary fixing component, and the second auxiliary fixing component includes: an upper fixing member 24, a lower fixing member 25, and a fifth spring 26. The upper fixing member 24 and the lower fixing member 25 are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the optical cable main body 1. The two ends of the fifth spring 26 are respectively fixedly connected to the upper fixing member 24 and the lower fixing member 25. Two first control rods 27 are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the upper fixing member 24. A first control slope 28 is arranged at the lower end of the first control rod 27. The first control rod 27 penetrates through the lower fixing member 25 and the lower side wall of the protective housing 3 in the up and down direction. Two second control rods 29 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the lower fixing member 25. A second control slope 30 is arranged at the upper end of the second control rod 29. The second control rod 29 penetrates through the upper fixing member 24 and the upper side wall of the protective housing 3 in the up and down direction.

[0033] Preferably, it further includes a sealing component, and the sealing component includes an installation box body 31.

The two second installation cavities 33 are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the first installation cavity 32. The optical cable main body 1 penetrates through the first installation cavity 32 in the left and right direction. An annular sealing airbag 34 is installed in the first installation cavity 32. The sealing airbag 34 surrounds the outside of the optical cable main body 1. A control airbag 35 is arranged in each second installation cavity 33. The control airbag 35 is communicated with the sealing airbag 34. A set of transmission components are respectively arranged on the right side walls of each first control rod 27 and the second control rod 29.

The other end of the second transmission rod 37 is in contact with the control airbag 35.

[0034] The beneficial effects of the above technical solutions are as follows: When the upper fixing member 24 and the lower fixing member 25 move away from each other, the included angle between the first transmission rod 36 and the first control rod 27 or the second control rod 29 becomes smaller, so that the second transmission rod 37 moves in a direction away from the control airbag 35, so that the gas content inside the sealing airbag 34 decreases, which is convenient for the movement of the optical cable main body 1.

[0035] When the upper fixing member 24 and the lower fixing member 25 move closer to each other, under the driving action of the first transmission rod 36, the second transmission rod 37 moves in a direction close to the control airbag 35, so that the gas in the control airbag 35 enters the sealing airbag 34, thereby realizing the sealing of the protective housing 3, improving the sealing performance of the protective housing 3, ensuring that the optical cable joint 2 still maintains good sealing performance in high humidity, rain, dust and corrosive environments, preventing external pollutants from entering, and ensuring the stable transmission of optical signals.

[0036] Example 5 The embodiment of the present invention also provides a method for manufacturing an optical cable, including: Step S1: Arrange the micro-strain fiber optic cable 38, the tight-buffered optical unit 39, and the loose tube optical unit 40 at the core of the optical cable according to the design requirements to form a cable core; Step S2: Wind a PE inner sheath 42 around the cable core, arrange a corrugated steel tape armor 41 between the cable core and the PE inner sheath 42, cover a layer of PE outer sheath 43 outside the PE inner sheath 42, arrange a corrugated steel tape armor 41 between the PE inner sheath 42 and the PE outer sheath 43, and use an optical cable forming machine to heat and press the cable core, the corrugated steel tape armor 41, the PE inner sheath 42, and the PE outer sheath 43 to form an optical cable main body (1); Step S3: Install an optical cable joint 2 on the optical cable main body 1; Step S4: Install a protection component and a control component at the interface between the optical cable main body 1 and the optical cable joint 2.

[0037] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: Through the scientific arrangement of optical fibers, the enhancement of the strengthening layer, and the optimized design of the protection component and the control component, the mechanical strength, sealing performance, weather resistance, and maintenance convenience of the optical cable are improved. First, during the optical fiber arrangement process, the cable core is reasonably arranged to ensure the stability of optical signal transmission and reduce signal loss caused by external stress on the optical fibers. Second, by winding a high-strength strengthening layer around the cable core and filling a low-density buffer material, the optical cable has stronger tensile, compressive, and bending resistance capabilities, and can adapt to long-distance laying and construction in harsh environments. The outer sheath material uses a high-molecular material with strong weather resistance, effectively improving the corrosion resistance, high and low temperature resistance, and waterproof performance of the optical cable, making it suitable for extreme application environments such as underground, marine, and strong earthquake areas. In addition, adding a protection component and a control component at the interface between the optical cable main body 1 and the optical cable joint 2 not only provides multiple sealing protections to prevent moisture, dust, and oil from invading, but also has an intelligent adjustment function, which can dynamically adjust the sealing state according to changes in the external environment to ensure long-term stable operation. Finally, the optical cable manufacturing method of the present invention optimizes the materials and structures, enabling the optical cable to have a longer service life, more stable transmission performance, while improving the installation and maintenance convenience, reducing the operation cost, and being applicable to various scenarios such as high-reliability optical communication, submarine communication, industrial applications, and laying in harsh environments.
