Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of optoelectronic composite cable technology and is used in smart sensors, smart sensing elements, and optical computing. In particular, it discloses a ribbon optical cable with integrated components. Background Technology

[0002] With the growth in demand for broadband access, especially the high fiber density access requirements of data centers / distribution centers, the demand for FTTX access with multi-unit drop cables and multiple fiber bands is constantly increasing.

[0003] CN119395840A discloses an optical fiber ribbon cable with a butterfly-shaped entry unit, comprising multiple first optical fiber ribbons, multiple butterfly-shaped entry units, four reinforcing members, a frame component, and an outer sheath. The butterfly-shaped entry unit is characterized by: a second optical fiber ribbon, two reinforcing members, and a butterfly-shaped sheath with a cross-section; the vertical portions on the left and right sides are called protruding members, and the horizontal portion in the middle is called a receiving body; the two reinforcing members are located within the two protruding members, and the second optical fiber ribbon is located within the receiving body; the frame component comprises four frame strips and four extension strips, the four frame strips being assembled into a frame body with an approximately rectangular cross-section, the frame body having a hollow central cavity, and the extension strips having extension cavities; the four extension strips extending outward from the four corners of the frame body along the diagonal of the frame body and engaging with the corresponding edges of the frame body; the outer edges of the frame strips having edge engaging grooves recessed towards the central cavity. Edge engaging slots are located at both ends of the frame strip; each frame strip is embedded with a special-shaped butterfly entry unit, and the two protruding parts of the special-shaped butterfly entry unit are respectively embedded in the two edge engaging slots of the frame strip. In the assembled state, the lower edge of all the accommodating bodies is in close contact with the outer edge of the frame strip. The outer edge of all the accommodating bodies and the padding layer constitute the cable core, and the cross-section of the cable core is rectangular. The reinforcing member is located in the extension cavity, and each extension cavity has only one reinforcing member. All the first optical fiber ribbons are distributed in the central cavity in a stacked manner, and the outer sheath covers the outside of the cable core.

[0004] Its frame is approximately rectangular. Although it can expand the number of fiber cores, it cannot make full use of the space in common circular cross-section laying spaces, such as circular pipes, resulting in wasted space and increased pipe rental costs. Moreover, within a limited circular space, it cannot meet the user's needs for a greater number of butterfly-shaped entry units when there is a greater demand. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention aims to disclose a ribbon optical cable with integrated components, which is achieved using the following technical solution.

[0006] A ribbon optical cable with integrated components includes integrated components and multiple entry units. The integrated components are used to embed the entry units and form a cylindrical surface, thereby increasing mechanical properties or increasing the number of entry units. Each entry unit consists of a unit wall, a first extension wall, a second extension wall, a first reinforcement member, a second reinforcement member, and an optical fiber ribbon. The unit wall is part of a cylindrical ring.

Adjacent optical fibers do not contact each other within the adhesive strip, which completely covers all optical fibers. The adhesive strip is distributed in a curved state within the unit wall.

[0007] The ribbon optical cable with integrated components described above consists of interlocking walls and supporting walls that are spaced apart and interconnected to form a closed structure. The inner walls of the interlocking walls and the inner walls of the supporting walls are on a first cylindrical surface. An outer groove is formed between adjacent interlocking walls.

The inner walls of the mating wall and the supporting wall are on a first cylindrical surface. Adjacent mating walls form external grooves, and the outer walls of all mating walls are on a second cylindrical surface. The inner convex butterfly units are spaced apart on the inner walls of the mating walls. Each convex butterfly unit consists of an inner extension wall, a light-transmitting component, and two second reinforcing members. The two second reinforcing members are located on both sides of the light-transmitting component.

[0028] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand and implement this patent, the markings in the accompanying drawings are explained in detail below.

[0029] In the figure: 1—Central bundle tube, 2—Integrated component, 3—Introduction unit, 4—Outer sheath, 11—Fiber optic cable, 12—Sheath wall, 20—Outer groove, 21—Matching wall, 22—Supporting wall, 23—Reinforcing strip, 24—Light guiding component, 25—First reinforcing member, 26—Inner extension wall, 27—Light transmission component, 28—Second reinforcing member, 200—Central cavity, 30—Inner groove, 31—Unit wall, 32—First extension wall, 33—Second extension wall, 310—Inner tear, 321—First reinforcing member, 331—Second reinforcing member, 341—Adhesive strip, 342—Optical fiber.

[0030] Implementation Example 1: Please see Figures 1 to 5A ribbon optical cable with integrated components has a central loose tube 1, integrated components 2, six entry units 3, and an outer sheath 4. The central loose tube 1 is composed of a sheath wall 12 and multiple optical fibers 11 located in cavities inside the sheath wall.

[0031] The integrated component 2 is composed of a closed annular cylindrical shape fitting wall 21. Multiple outer grooves 20 are distributed on the outer wall of the fitting wall. The outer grooves 20 do not penetrate the inner wall of the fitting wall. The fitting wall below the outer groove is called the support wall 22. The integrated component has a central cavity 200 that extends continuously along the axial direction.

[0032] The unit 3 is composed of a unit wall 31, a first extension wall 32, a second extension wall 33, a first reinforcing member 321, a second reinforcing member 331, and an optical fiber ribbon. The unit wall 31 is part of a cylindrical ring. One end of the first extension wall 32 is connected to one end of the unit wall 31, and the other end of the first extension wall 32 extends toward the central axis of the unit wall. One end of the second extension wall 33 is connected to the other end of the unit wall 31, and the other end of the second extension wall 33 extends toward the central axis of the unit wall. The first reinforcing member 321 is located inside the first extension wall 32, and the second reinforcing member 331 is located inside the second extension wall 33. The unit wall 31, the first extension wall 32, and the second extension wall 33 form an inner groove 30 with an opening. The optical fiber ribbon is composed of an adhesive strip 341 and multiple optical fibers 342. Adjacent optical fibers do not contact each other within the adhesive strip. The adhesive strip completely covers all optical fibers and is distributed in a curved state within the unit wall.

[0033] The introduction units are distributed along the outer edge of the integrated component. Each outer groove has the other end of a first extended wall and the other end of a second extended wall. The first extended wall and the second extended wall in each outer groove are in close contact with the fitting wall forming the groove. The inner wall of the unit wall of each introduction unit is in close contact with the outer wall of the fitting wall. The outer walls of all introduction units are on the same cylindrical surface.

[0034] The central bundle tube 1 is located inside the central cavity 200 and is in close contact with the inner wall of the fitting wall 21, while the outer sheath 4 covers the outside of the introduction unit.

[0035] The ribbon optical cable with integrated components described above may not have a central loose tube 1.

[0036] The ribbon optical cable with integrated components described above has an introduction unit 3, which is not limited to six, but can be more than two. All the introduction units are closely attached to each other to form a complete circle. Since the introduction units are embedded in the outer groove, they are very convenient to take out and put in. Each outer groove has the other end of a first extension wall and the other end of a second extension wall, so that adjacent introduction units fit together and share the outer groove. Since the other end of the first extension wall and the other end of the second extension wall fit tightly into the outer groove, after fitting, the introduction unit and the integrated components form a whole. Even if the outer sheath is not present, it will generally not fall apart, so the structure is very stable and reliable.

[0037] Similarly, when a central bundle tube is present, its close contact with the integrated components makes the structure stable.

[0038] In this embodiment, the optical fiber strip is curved, preferably having the same bending radius as the unit wall 31. This makes full use of the space of the curved unit wall, allowing more optical fibers 342 to be placed inside, thus increasing the communication capacity.

[0039] Implementation Example 2: Please see Figure 6 and refer to Figures 1 to 5 A ribbon optical cable with integrated components is basically the same as in Embodiment 1, except that: the inner wall of the unit wall 31 has an inner tear 310 near the center for stripping the unit wall and removing the optical fiber ribbon.

[0040] Implementation Example 3: Please see Figure 7 and Figure 8 and refer to Figures 1 to 6 A ribbon optical cable with integrated components is basically the same as in Embodiment 1, except that: the embedded wall 21 has a reinforcing strip 23 inside, the reinforcing strip 23 is curved and arc-shaped, and the reinforcing strip 23 is not located inside the supporting wall 22. The reinforcing strip 23 enhances the mechanical properties of the optical cable.

[0041] Implementation Example 4: Please see Figure 9 and refer to Figures 1 to 8 A ribbon optical cable with integrated components is basically the same as in Embodiment 3, except that each protruding interlocking wall 21 has a light guide component 24 and two first reinforcing members 25, with the two first reinforcing members 25 located on both sides of the light guide component 24. In this embodiment, a protruding interlocking wall 21, a light guide component 24, and two first reinforcing members 25 constitute an outwardly convex butterfly-shaped unit. By cutting down the outer groove 20 into the central cavity 200, the outwardly convex butterfly-shaped unit can be used for the introduction of single-household, single-room, etc.

[0042] In this implementation example, the introduction of Unit 3 and the outwardly convex butterfly unit significantly increases the number of access units. At the same time, since they are all cylindrical ring structures, they are suitable for use in circular spaces, such as circular pipes, and effectively save space, resulting in higher space utilization. After pipe rental, the cost of each access unit is lower.

[0043] Implementation Example 5: Please see Figure 10 and Figure 11 and refer to Figures 1 to 9 A ribbon optical cable with integrated components is basically the same as in Embodiment 4, except that: multiple inwardly convex butterfly units are distributed at intervals on the inner wall of the interlocking wall 21. Each inwardly convex butterfly unit is composed of an inner extension wall 26, a light-transmitting component 27, and two second reinforcing members 28. The two second reinforcing members 28 are located on both sides of the light-transmitting component 27. The light-transmitting component 27 and the two second reinforcing members 28 are located inside the inner extension wall 26. The outer wall of the inner extension wall 26 is combined with the inner wall of the interlocking wall 21. Each inner extension wall 26 is located directly below an interlocking wall 21, and there is a gap between adjacent inner extension walls 26. The inner walls of all inner extension walls 26 are assembled to form a central cavity 200, which is a complete circle, that is, the edges of the inner walls of adjacent inner extension walls 26 are joined together.

[0044] Implementation Example 6: Please see Figure 12 and refer to Figures 1 to 11 A ribbon optical cable with integrated components is basically the same as in Embodiment 5, except that the inner convex butterfly units and the outer convex butterfly units are staggered. The outer groove 20 is directly above the inner convex butterfly unit, and above the inner convex butterfly unit, one part is one outer convex butterfly unit and the other part is another outer convex butterfly unit. This staggered distribution makes the integrated component 2 stronger, and at the same time, the increased number of inner convex butterfly units further improves the communication capacity.

[0045] In implementation examples 5 and 6, the convex butterfly unit and the integrated component are integrated into one structure.

[0046] Of course, in the above implementation examples, the central cavity 200 can be equipped with a central bundle tube 1, or even other components, such as a cable core with power transmission function. Reinforcing components can also be installed within the central cavity 200 to support optical cables, etc.

[0047] Of course, in the above implementation examples, the central cavity 200 may not be a complete circle, that is, there is a gap between the inner walls of the inner extension wall 26 of the adjacent inner convex butterfly unit, but the inner walls of the inner extension wall 26 of the inner convex butterfly unit are on the same circle.

[0048] In this application, the interlocking wall 21 and the supporting wall 22 can also be considered to be distributed alternately.

The adhesive strip completely covers all optical fibers and is distributed in a curved state within the unit wall.

[0055] The introduction units are distributed along the outer edge of the integrated component. Each outer groove has one end of a first extended wall and one end of a second extended wall. The first and second extended walls in each outer groove are in close contact with the fitting wall forming the groove. The inner wall of the unit wall of each introduction unit is in close contact with the outer wall of the fitting wall. The outer walls of all introduction units are on the same cylindrical surface.

[0056] Each outer groove has one end of a first extended wall and one end of a second extended wall, meaning that each outer groove has a first extended wall of a first introducing unit and a second extended wall of a second introducing unit; or each outer groove has a second extended wall of a first introducing unit and a first extended wall of a second introducing unit.

[0057] The curved inner wall of the unit wall 31 is in close contact with the outer edge of the integrated component, and the two are combined to form a stable and compact structure; at the connection between the unit wall 31 and the first extended wall 32, the unit wall 31 and the first extended wall 32 are perpendicular; at the connection between the unit wall 31 and the second extended wall 33, the unit wall 31 and the second extended wall 33 are perpendicular.

[0062] The ribbon optical cable with integrated components described in this application has a sheath wall 12 made of plastic, preferably polybutylene terephthalate or modified polypropylene.

Therefore, it not only achieves the expansion of the introduced unit, but also makes full use of the space by utilizing the internal space of the interlocking wall 21 to form an inwardly convex butterfly unit, increasing the number of introduced units. Moreover, the staggered distribution increases the mechanical strength and the ease of peeling the inwardly convex butterfly unit. Figure 12 At the bottom arrow, the supporting wall 22 can be cut open and the light-transmitting component 27 can be removed; the upright distribution more effectively protects the inner convex butterfly unit. In this application, the inner convex butterfly unit and the outer convex butterfly unit can be of different sizes, thus adapting to different specifications of fiber optic connectors and accommodating existing fiber optic connectors when connected to users, improving flexibility.

[0068] In this application, the tearing is performed along the inner groove 30, and the optimal method is to tear along the corner, which can separate outwardly convex butterfly units, inwardly convex butterfly units, etc., thus improving construction efficiency.

[0069] This application has several beneficial technical effects, such as introducing more unit cells, being suitable for circular spaces, having higher space utilization, and lower overall cost.

[0070] This application can be used as a smart sensor or smart sensing element; since it can transmit voice and images, it can also be used as a physical sensor, such as a voice sensor or an image sensor; since it transmits light signals through the principle of total internal reflection, it can also be used as a distance sensor; the optical fiber in this application is itself an optical waveguide, so it can be used as an optical waveguide, such as an arrayed optical waveguide or a diffractive optical waveguide; this application can also be used in the field of optical computing, as part of optical chip computing, optical computing, optical network computing, and optical computing.
