Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of electric power, and in particular relates to a hollow cable with a curved groove and a manufacturing method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the popularization of electricity and fiber optic access to homes, the demand for fast construction is increasing. There are requirements for construction to minimize damage to the structure of the original cable, construction to be carried out without cutting the cable, and not affecting the use of other users.

[0003] CN109143516A discloses a sheath-embedded spliced ​​optical cable and a production method, comprising a sheath, a rigid reinforcement, a flexible water-blocking reinforcement, a micro-tube unit, a colored optical fiber, a first water-blocking element, and a second water-blocking element. The first water-blocking element and multiple colored optical fibers are wrapped with micro-tube units, and the multiple micro-tube units and the second water-blocking element are uniformly wrapped with flexible water-blocking reinforcements to form a cable core. The cable core is wrapped with a sheath, and multiple rigid reinforcements are embedded between the outer and inner surfaces of the sheath.

[0004] CN219046149U discloses an easily identifiable spliced ​​optical cable, comprising: an optical fiber cable having multiple strands twisted together around the periphery of a central reinforcement member; and an outer sheath tube wrapped around the periphery of the multiple strands of the optical fiber cables, the outer wall of the outer sheath tube being provided with multiple color strips that respectively locate the position of each optical fiber cable, the multiple color strips having different colors. The easily identifiable spliced ​​optical cable has multiple color strips that respectively locate the position of each optical fiber cable on the outer wall of the outer sheath tube, the multiple color strips having different colors. Because each optical fiber cable is identified and located by a color strip, the optical fiber cable that needs to be removed can be quickly found in the cable core. During use, only the optical fiber cable that needs to be removed needs to be pulled out, without having to remove all optical fiber cables. The probability of fiber breakage during the splicing process is greatly reduced.

[0032] In this embodiment, the housing body 1 is not limited to being composed only of the first body 11, the second body 12, the third body 13, and the fourth body 14; it can also be composed of at least two bodies; correspondingly, the protective cover 3 is not limited to being composed of only five bonding strips, as long as it can cover all the housing bodies 1 from above as a whole, form a cavity between adjacent bonding strips, and ensure that the limiting strips can limit the transmission component 2 in the curved groove and there is sufficient clearance between the limiting strips and the upper surface of the transmission component 2.

[0033] A hollow cable with a curved groove comprises a housing, a transmission component, and a protective cover. The transmission component is composed of a conductor and an insulating layer covering the conductor.

[0034] The container is composed of at least two parallel, sequentially arranged, and integrated bodies. Each body has a curved groove extending along the length of the body. The curved groove is in the shape of multiple continuous curved segments. The curved groove does not pass through the lower surface of the body. The upper surfaces of all the bodies are within a first plane, and the lower surfaces of all the bodies are within a second plane. The first plane is parallel to the second plane.

[0035] The protective cover is composed of a limiting strip and at least three bonding strips. The protective cover is an integrated structure. All bonding strips extend downward from the lower surface of the limiting strip. The bonding strips are arranged in parallel on the lower surface of the protective cover. The bonding strips are perpendicular to the limiting strips. The leftmost bonding strip is located below the left end of the limiting strip, and the rightmost bonding strip is located below the right end of the limiting strip.

[0036] Each curved groove has a transmission component extending along the curved groove, and the uppermost end of the transmission component in each curved groove is above the first plane; the uppermost end of the transmission component in each curved groove does not contact the lower surface of the limit bar.

[0037] The above-mentioned cable with curved groove has a shape of sine, cosine or any other easily implementable curved shape; the purpose of the curved groove is to make the length of the transmission component much longer than the length of the main body of the container.

[0038] In the above-mentioned hollow cable with a curved groove, part of the transmission component is inside the corresponding curved groove, and the other part of the transmission component is outside the corresponding curved groove. The transmission component outside the curved groove is located in the corresponding cavity and does not contact the limiting strip and the fitting strip forming the cavity.

[0039] Preferably, see Figure 1 In the above-mentioned cable with curved grooves, all the curved grooves are distributed in parallel. The parallel here means that the corresponding bending directions, curvatures, etc. are the same.

[0040] In this embodiment, the transmission component can also be a structure having at least one optical fiber. The so-called structure of at least one optical fiber can be, for example: a loose tube, which is composed of a tube body and at least one optical fiber located in a hole inside the tube body; it can also be a tight-buffered optical fiber, which is composed of an optical fiber and a coating tightly wrapped around the optical fiber; it can also be a butterfly unit, which is the butterfly unit described in the communications industry standard YD / T 1997 of the People's Republic of China or any butterfly unit disclosed in the prior art; it can also be a single-core or multi-core soft optical cable, and so on.

[0041] Of course, different transmission components can also be included in the same cable. For example, some transmission components have conductors inside, while some transmission components have optical fibers inside. This allows for simultaneous optical and electrical transmission, making it more suitable for use in smart grids.

[0042] In this application, a cable formed by a transmission component having optical fibers may also be referred to as a spliced ​​optical cable.

[0043] In the present application, during construction, a tool or the like is used to cut or tear the corresponding limit strip from directly above the cavity, so that the transmission component can be easily removed from the cavity. Since the transmission component is distributed in a curve, even if a shorter limit strip is cut, a longer transmission component can be removed, which is convenient for connection, reduces the stripping length and damage degree of the limit strip, and improves construction efficiency.

[0044] A method for manufacturing the above-mentioned trenched cable with a curved groove comprises the following steps:

[0045] The steps of manufacturing the transmission components are as follows: manufacturing a sufficient number of transmission components according to the manufacturing method of the prior art and keeping them in reserve;

[0046] Steps for manufacturing a container: use one of the following methods to manufacture the container. The first method is: forming the container by extrusion, setting a movable mold core and a fixed mold sleeve in the machine head, the mold sleeve covers the mold core, a long hole is opened on the top of the mold core, and a long hole is also opened on the top of the mold sleeve. A plurality of parallel slide bars with intervals between each other are installed above the extruder head. The upper ends of the slide bars are fixed on the spur gears, and the lower ends of the slide bars pass through the long hole above the sleeve and then pass through the long hole above the mold core. There is a gap between the lower end of the slide bar and the bottom surface of the mold sleeve; the extruder head extrude the plastic and pull it forward and stretch it through the cooling water tank with cooling water to form the initial body of the container, and continuously pull the initial body of the container forward; at the same time, the spur gears The direction of movement is perpendicular to the initial traction direction of the accommodating body. The spur gear is connected to a reciprocating motor installed outside the machine head. The reciprocating motor causes the spur gear to reciprocate by repeatedly rotating forward, stopping, reversing, and stopping, and causes the slide bar to form a curved groove on the main body. The manufacturing of the accommodating body according to the first method is completed. The second method is: using a sharp slide bar to scrape out a curved groove on a pre-formed main body with a rectangular cross section. Specifically, the slide bar is moved vertically relative to the main body within a certain range of travel directly above the main body. Both the slide bar and the main body are moving. A part of the lower end of the slide bar is inserted into the upper surface of the main body. The relative movement of the slide bar and the main body eventually forms a curved groove. The manufacturing of the accommodating body according to the second method is completed.

[0047] The step of placing the transmission component is as follows: taking the manufactured transmission component and placing it in the curved groove and fitting the transmission component with the curved groove so that a part of the transmission component is located outside the curved groove;

[0048] Steps for installing the protective cover: take a pre-made protective cover, apply glue on the lower surface of the fitting strip, press the protective cover downward so that the lower surface of the fitting strip contacts the upper surface of the container, and make the lower surface of the leftmost fitting strip of the protective cover bonded to the upper surface of the left end of the leftmost body of the container; make the lower surface of the rightmost fitting strip of the protective cover bonded to the upper surface of the right end of the rightmost body of the container; make the lower surface of the middle fitting strip of the protective cover bonded to the upper surface of the adjacent part of the corresponding adjacent body of the container; and complete the installation of the protective cover.

[0049] The above-mentioned method for manufacturing a spliced ​​cable with a curved groove, the steps of installing the protective cover can also be: take a pre-manufactured protective cover, make the lower surface of the leftmost fitting strip of the protective cover contact with the upper surface of the left end of the leftmost body of the container; make the lower surface of the rightmost fitting strip of the protective cover contact with the upper surface of the right end of the rightmost body of the container; make the lower surface of the middle fitting strip of the protective cover contact with the upper surface of the adjacent part of the corresponding adjacent body of the container; when the protective cover and the container are in contact, make the protective cover and the container pass through an ultrasonic welding device in a working state, so that the protective cover and the container are in the ultrasonic welding device for no less than 2 seconds; and the installation of the protective cover is completed.

[0050] In this method, since the ultrasonic welding device can quickly heat the suitable plastic but not for a very long time, it is not enough to melt the entire plastic, but rather to cause local deformation and softening, but in a bonded state. Since the materials of the protective cover and the container of this application are both plastic, they can be easily bonded by the ultrasonic welding device.

[0051] Keeping the protective cover and the container in the ultrasonic welding device for at least 2 seconds does not mean that the protective cover and the container stay in the ultrasonic welding device, but that they are continuously pulled. This is achieved by ensuring that the ultrasonic welding device has a sufficient length and a fast pulling speed.

[0063] In the present application, the internal transmission components can be distinguished by the size, color, markings, etc. of the main body, and the internal transmission components can also be distinguished by the markings or colors on the protective cover. This does not require creative labor and is easy to implement under the guidance of existing technology, so it is not an invention point of the present application.

[0064] In the present application, the length of the curved groove is increased, so that the length of the transmission component stored in the unit length of the body is longer. Therefore, after cutting the protective cover, the transmission component can be easily taken out, and a sufficiently long transmission component can be taken out, which reduces the damage to the cable during construction. That is, when taking a transmission component of the same length, a shorter protective cover can be peeled off. In addition, after peeling off the protective cover, the part near the cut can also be taken out, which also increases the length accordingly, so the construction efficiency is higher. Moreover, since there is a large gap between the protective cover and the body, the transmission component is not easily damaged when planing is used. Planing refers to the method similar to using a planer to plane the skin of a loofah or cucumber.

[0065] The present application has the following main beneficial technical effects: simple structure, easy manufacturing, higher construction efficiency, less damage to the protective cover and transmission components, and longer splicing length.

[0066] The cable in this application can have an aluminum alloy conductor, so it can be called an aluminum alloy power cable. Due to the effective electrical isolation of the main body in the container, it can transmit very high power levels, so it can also be called a high-voltage or ultra-high-voltage cable. The cable in this application can be used in smart grids, and the material of the container and / or protective sheath can be cross-linked polyethylene insulation material, so it can also be called a cross-linked polyethylene insulated power cable.

[0067] When the optical fiber is present in this application, it can be used as an intelligent sensor or intelligent sensing element; since it can transmit voice and images, it can also be used as a physical sensor, such as a voice sensor or image sensor; since it transmits optical signals through the principle of total reflection, it can also be used as a distance sensor; the optical fiber in this application itself is an optical waveguide, so it can be used as an optical waveguide, such as an array optical waveguide or a diffraction optical waveguide; this application can also be used in the field of optical computing, as part of optical computing, optical computing, and optical network computing, and as part of optical chip computing.
