The lower end of each arc plate 302a is connected to the protrusion. An installation notch 302b is formed between two arc plates 302a. The arc bending degree of the arc plate 302a is smaller than the bending degree of the bent support plate 202. At the same time, the extending direction of the arc plate 302a is arranged in the radial direction of the first support 301.

[0043] Preferably, every two adjacent arc plates 302a are arranged in opposite directions and are arranged close to each other.

The other end of the flexible sheet 304b extends into the inside of the bent plate 202 and the end is close to the bottom block 303a. In this embodiment, the clamping member includes a top block 304d provided at the bottom block 303a near the mating flange 303b. An arc-shaped inclined surface is formed on the side of the top block 304d away from the mating groove, and the arc-shaped inclined surface is provided with a tapered inclined surface on the side close to the flexible sheet 304b, and a sheet-like protrusion is provided on the tapered inclined surface. A mating slot for cooperating with the sheet-like protrusion is opened on the flexible sheet 304b, and after the bent plate 202 is bent, the top block 304d abuts against the abutting head 304c.

[0047] After the bent plate 202 is bent, the clamping plate 203 is made to cooperate with the mating flange 303b on the bottom block 303a to complete the hanging connection. When hanging, the tapered inclined surface on the arc-shaped inclined surface is inserted into the flexible sheet 304b, and the connection is realized by using the sheet-like protrusion and the mating slot. After the connection, a double-insurance locking structure with the connection structure of the clamping plate 203 and the mating flange 303b and the connection structure of the flexible sheet 304b and the top block 304d is realized, thereby increasing the stability of the installation of the optical fiber M.

[0048] Further, an extended wrapping ring 400 is provided on the inner wall of the first shelf plate 201. There are two extended wrapping rings 400 on each first shelf plate 201. The ends of the two extended wrapping rings 400 away from the split shelf plate 200a are connected and form a protruding end 401.

[0051] The remaining structure is the same as that of Embodiment 1.

[0052] Operation process: When assembling the optical cable, the operator prefabricates the intermediate support member 103, then installs the second support outer cylinder 101. Then the operator installs the optical fiber M on the outside of the second support outer cylinder 101 according to a certain rule, and then installs the first support outer cylinder 100 to fix the optical fiber M. When installing the second support outer cylinder 101, the extended wrapping ring 400 on the second support outer cylinder 101 is inserted into the installation notch 302b between the arc plates 302a. When inserting, the optical fiber M will push open the protruding part, and then the bending shelf plate 202 is toggled away from the bottom block 303a. Then, as the first support outer cylinder 100 is continuously pressed in, the optical fiber M will gradually enter the space formed by the bending shelf plate 202. After the bending shelf plate 202 is bent, the clamping shelf plate 203 is matched with the mating flange 303b on the bottom block 303a to complete the hanging connection. When hanging, the tapered slope on the arc-shaped slope is inserted into the flexible sheet body 304b, and the connection is realized by using the sheet-shaped protrusion and the mating slot. After the connection, a double insurance locking structure with the connection structure of the clamping shelf plate 203 and the mating flange 303b and the connection structure of the flexible sheet body 304b and the top block 304d is realized, thereby increasing the installation stability of the optical fiber M.

[0054] Example 3

[0055] Reference Figure 6 , which is the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is different from the previous embodiment in that: the present invention discloses an optical cable with a multi-cavity support structure, including a backbone 500. In this embodiment, the backbone 500 includes an optical cable support 501 arranged in the intermediate support member 103 and a buffer layer 502 arranged between the second support outer tube 101 and the first bracket 301.

[0056] Furthermore, an outer coating layer 504 is disposed on the outer side of the first supporting outer cylinder 100 , and the outer coating layer 504 is the outermost layer of the entire optical cable.

[0057] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the intermediate support member 103 includes a solid layer 103a arranged on the outside of the optical cable support 501, a core support 103b arranged outside the solid layer 103a, and a connecting member arranged on the core support 103b and connected to the first bracket 301, and an adhesive layer is arranged between the solid layer 103a and the optical cable support 501.

[0058] Furthermore, the connecting member includes a plurality of raised strips 103c arranged on the core pillar 103b and a matching recess 103d arranged on the first bracket 301 and matching with the raised strips 103c.

[0059] In this embodiment, the buffer layer 502 includes a plurality of flexible support strips 502a hinged end to end, a support block 502b arranged at the hinge of every two support strips, and a flexible rod 502c arranged on the support block 502b. The plurality of support blocks 502b are arranged in two rows, and the other end of the flexible rod 502c is connected to the end of the support block 502b in the other row. The support block 502b corresponds to the pressure block 404 one by one.

[0060] The remaining structures are the same as those in Example 2.

[0061] Operation process: The optical cable with a multi-cavity support structure is provided with a multi-layer structure, so that the optical cable as a whole can be more resistant to impact and pressure. At the same time, with the multi-cavity support structure, the optical cable as a whole has a certain overall strength and protects the internal optical fiber M. At the same time, the buffer layer 502 can also make the entire optical cable have a certain tensile performance.

[0062] Example 4

[0063] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8, which is the second embodiment of the present invention. The difference between this embodiment and the previous one is that: further, the optical cable with a multi-cavity support structure further includes an end connection assembly. In this embodiment, the end connection assembly includes a joint cylinder 600 provided at the end of the outer cladding layer 504. It should be noted that the joint cylinder 600 is provided at the end of the entire optical cable and is directly fixed to the outer cladding layer 504. The outer cladding layer 504 and the joint cylinder 600 have the same diameter. A segmented sleeve 601 is also provided on the joint cylinder 600, and the segmented sleeve 601 can slide a certain distance on the joint cylinder 600, and the sliding direction can be away from or close to the outer cladding layer 504.

[0064] Further, an adhesion component is provided at the end of the joint cylinder 600. In this embodiment, the adhesion component includes a storage groove 602 opened on the joint cylinder 600, an extension rod 603 rotatably connected in the storage groove 602, and a discharge pipe 604 provided at the end of the extension rod 603. A folding rod 605 is hinged between the extension rod 603 and the storage groove 602. The hinged position of the extension rod 603 is set near the end side of the joint cylinder 600. Thus, the sliding of the segmented sleeve 601 will press the extension rod 603 into the storage groove 602, and a number of storage grooves 602 are opened and arranged in an annular array on the outside of the joint cylinder 600.

[0065] Further, in this embodiment, the folding rod 605 includes a first half rod 605a hinged to the middle section of the extension rod 603 and a second half rod 605b hinged to the first half rod 605a. A second torsion spring is provided between the first half rod 605a and the second half rod 605b. When the extension rod 603 rotates into the storage groove 602 under the sliding extrusion of the segmented sleeve 601, the second torsion spring will always drive the first half rod 605a and the second half rod 605b to change from the state of approaching each other to the state of moving away from each other, so that the extension rod 603 can be screwed out more quickly.

[0066] Preferably, an inner ring groove is opened at one end of the segmented sleeve 601 away from the outer cladding layer 504, and a friction layer is provided on the inner side of the segmented sleeve 601. A buckle groove matching with the discharge pipe 604 is provided in the inner ring groove.

[0067] The remaining structures are the same as those in Embodiment 3.

[0068] Operation process: When butt-joining and installing two optical cables, first align the two optical cables. Then, the operator pushes one of the segmented sleeves 601 towards the outer cladding layer 504, and slides the segmented sleeve 601 on the other optical cable away from the outer cladding layer 504. As the segmented sleeve 601 slides, the extension rod 603 is no longer blocked. Under the action of the second torsion spring, the first half rod 605a and the second half rod 605b change from the state of approaching each other to the state of moving away from each other, so as to screw the extension rod 603 out of the storage groove 602. Then, the discharge pipe 604 is installed in cooperation with the buckle groove, thus completing the butt-joint of the two optical cables.
