[0046] Optical cables are indispensable devices in optical communication systems. In optical fiber communication, data communication, multimedia communication, and other communication systems using optical fibers as transmission media, connections between optical fibers, optical cables and optical fibers, or optical fibers and optical terminal devices are required, and good connection performance is required. An optical cable is composed of mechanical and optical structures, and an optical fiber is the core medium, which is an optical element responsible for the physical transmission of optical signals.

[0047] Optical fibers are usually made of glass or plastic fibers that serve as light-conducting media, using optical pulses to transmit signals. Optical fibers are generally packaged in plastic outer sheaths or armor sheaths to enable them to withstand harsh environmental conditions. However, optical fibers are still the weakest part of the optical cable connector, and compared with metal fibers, light is more likely to be damaged by excessive stretching or bending, resulting in breakage.

[0048] As described in the background, the optical cable is mainly composed of three parts of a cable core, a reinforcing element and a sheath, wherein the cable core contains an optical fiber, the optical fiber belongs to an optical element and is responsible for physical transmission of an optical signal, and is the most fragile part in the optical cable; the reinforcing element and the sheath of different optical cables are different, resulting in different probabilities of failure of the optical fiber, and therefore, there is an urgent need for a method for positioning a failure position of an optical cable to quickly determine the failure position of the optical cable and analyze the failure cause to reduce the failure probability of the optical cable.

[0049] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0050] In some embodiments, a failure analysis method of an optical cable, as shown in Figure 1 , comprises:

[0051] Step S100, acquiring a failure optical cable;

[0052] Specifically, the optical cable is detected to determine whether the optical cable can normally transmit an optical signal, when it is determined that an optical cable cannot normally transmit an optical signal, it is determined that the optical cable is a failure optical cable, and based on this, the failure analysis of the failure optical cable is performed.

[0053] Step S200, performing appearance inspection on the failure optical cable to determine first failure information;

[0054] Specifically, the appearance inspection is performed to preliminarily determine the position and failure condition of the external failure of the failure optical cable, so as to analyze the failure subsequently, and the first failure information comprises the external failure condition and the external failure position.

[0055] Step S300, performing internal inspection on the failure optical cable to determine second failure information;

[0056] Specifically, the internal inspection is performed to further determine the position and failure condition of the internal failure of the failure optical cable, so as to analyze the failure subsequently, and the second failure information comprises the internal failure condition and the internal failure position.

[0057] It should be noted that the internal inspection can be a ray inspection to check whether there is a failure and an abnormal condition in the internal structure of the optical cable through the ray inspection. The internal structure of the optical cable comprises an internal connection structure and an internal body structure of the optical cable.

[0058] Step S400, performing disassembly inspection on the failure optical cable to determine third failure information;

[0059] Specifically, the disassembly inspection is performed to expose the internal optical fiber of the failure optical cable to determine the failure condition and the failure position of the optical fiber of the failure optical cable, and the third failure information comprises the optical fiber failure condition and the optical fiber failure position.

[0060] Step S500, determining the fault location and the fault cause based on the first fault information, the second fault information and the third fault information.

[0061] Specifically, the first fault information, the second fault information and the third fault information are comprehensively analyzed to determine the fault location and the fault cause of the fault optical cable.

[0062] It should be noted that the fault location in the third fault information is the root fault location of the fault optical cable, and the fault locations in the first fault information and the second fault information are both the fault locations related to the third fault information. By combining the fault conditions in the first fault information and the second fault information, the fault cause of the fault condition in the third fault information is obtained.

[0063] Specifically, no fault condition and abnormal condition is found in the appearance inspection of the fault optical cable, and the first fault information is empty. No abnormal condition is found in the internal inspection of the fault optical cable, and the second fault information is a hole. The disassembly inspection of the fault optical cable finds that the optical fiber of the fault optical cable has a fiber break phenomenon, and the third fault information is determined. The third fault information includes the fault location and the fault condition. The fault condition is that the fracture of the broken optical fiber has local wear marks, and layer-by-layer expanding texture can also be seen. The source area coating layer has a gap or a secondary crack. The fault location of the fault optical cable, i.e. the fault location in the third fault information, can be confirmed, and the fault cause is that the gradual development process is related to repeated stress.

[0064] In the embodiment, the fault location and the fault cause are determined by the appearance inspection, the internal inspection and the disassembly inspection of the fault optical cable, the fault positioning and the fault analysis of the fault optical cable are realized, and the basis for reducing the fault rate of the optical cable is provided, which is beneficial to improving the practicability and the reliability of the optical cable. The structure of the optical cable is analyzed, the fault location is gradually positioned from the appearance inspection, the internal inspection and the disassembly inspection, and the fault cause is analyzed, which is beneficial to improving the fault analysis accuracy.

[0065] In some embodiments, step S100: the fault cable is obtained, including:

[0066] Step S101, obtaining a to-be-detected optical cable;

[0067] Specifically, the to-be-detected optical cable is detected to determine whether the to-be-detected optical cable is a fault optical cable, and therefore at least one to-be-detected optical cable is obtained before detection.

[0068] Step S102, performing light source detection on the to-be-detected optical cable to determine whether the to-be-detected optical cable has a fault;

[0069] Specifically, the judgment of whether the to-be-detected optical cable has a fault lies in detecting whether the to-be-detected optical cable can normally transmit optical signals, so that the to-be-detected optical cable is subjected to light source detection to determine whether the to-be-detected optical cable can normally transmit optical signals, and then whether the to-be-detected optical cable has a fault is determined.

[0070] It should be noted that if it is determined that the to-be-detected optical cable can normally transmit optical signals, it is determined that the to-be-detected optical cable has no fault; if it is determined that the to-be-detected optical cable cannot normally transmit optical signals, it is determined that the to-be-detected optical cable has a fault.

[0071] In addition, the light source detection is to introduce a light source into one end of the to-be-detected optical cable to observe the light path of the to-be-detected optical cable, for example, Figure 2 As shown in the figure, if the light path can be viewed at the other end of the to-be-detected optical cable, it is determined that the to-be-detected optical cable has no fault; as Figure 3 shown, if the light path cannot be viewed at the other end of the to-be-detected optical cable, it is determined that the to-be-detected optical cable has a fault.

[0072] Step S103, in response to determining that the to-be-detected optical cable has a fault, determining that the to-be-detected optical cable is a fault cable.

[0073] Specifically, after it is determined that the to-be-detected optical cable has a fault, the to-be-detected optical cable is determined to be a fault optical cable.

[0074] For example, three to-be-detected optical cables are subjected to light source detection, one of the to-be-detected optical cables has no fault, and the other two to-be-detected optical cables have faults, and then the two to-be-detected optical cables are both determined to be fault optical cables.

[0075] In this embodiment, the to-be-detected optical cable is subjected to light source detection to determine whether the to-be-detected optical cable has a fault, and the to-be-detected optical cable having a fault is determined to be a fault optical cable, so that subsequent fault analysis of the fault optical cable is performed, the source of the fault optical cable is determined, and the fault analysis of the fault optical cable is performed layer by layer.

[0076] In some embodiments, step S200: the appearance of the fault optical cable is subjected to appearance inspection to determine first fault information, comprising:

[0077] Step S201, appearance inspection is performed on the appearance form of the fault optical cable to determine whether there is an abnormal condition outside the fault optical cable.

[0078] Specifically, the appearance form of the fault optical cable is subjected to appearance inspection to check whether there is an abnormal breakage or deformation outside, and then it is determined whether there is an abnormal condition outside the fault optical cable.

[0079] It should be noted that the appearance inspection is to check the external morphology of the faulty optical cable, and compare the external morphology of the faulty optical cable with that of a normal optical cable to determine whether the faulty optical cable is abnormally damaged or deformed.

[0080] In step S202, in response to determining that the external appearance of the faulty optical cable is abnormal, the first fault information is determined based on the position and appearance of the abnormality.

[0081] Specifically, when it is determined that the external appearance of the faulty optical cable is abnormal through the appearance inspection, the first fault information can be generated according to the abnormality. When it is determined that the external appearance of the faulty optical cable is not abnormal, the first fault information is empty.

[0082] It should be noted that the abnormality can be determined to have an abnormal position and an abnormal appearance, and the abnormal position and the abnormal appearance are stored as a first fault position and a first fault condition respectively to obtain the first fault information.

[0083] In this embodiment, the appearance of the faulty optical cable is inspected to determine whether the appearance of the faulty optical cable is abnormal, and when it is determined that the appearance of the faulty optical cable is abnormal, the first fault information is obtained according to the position and appearance of the abnormality for subsequent fault analysis of the faulty optical cable based on the first fault information.

[0084] In some embodiments, step S300: the internal inspection of the faulty optical cable to determine the second fault information, includes:

[0085] In step S301, the faulty optical cable is subjected to a radiographic inspection to determine whether the internal appearance of the faulty optical cable is abnormal.

[0086] Specifically, the faulty optical cable is subjected to a radiographic inspection to observe the internal structure of the faulty optical cable through the radiographic inspection, and thus it can be determined whether the internal structure of the faulty optical cable is abnormally deformed or the like.

[0087] In step S302, in response to determining that the internal appearance of the faulty optical cable is abnormal, the second fault information is determined based on the position and appearance of the abnormality.

[0088] Specifically, when it is determined that the internal structure of the faulty optical cable is abnormal through the radiographic inspection, the second fault information can be generated according to the abnormality. When it is determined that the internal structure of the faulty optical cable is not abnormal, the second fault information is empty.

[0089] It should be noted that the internal inspection is to inspect the internal structure of the faulty optical cable to determine whether the internal structure of the faulty optical cable is abnormal, for example, the shell, the crimp sleeve, the armor, the shell pressing plate and the spring, etc., in addition, the abnormality of the optical fiber of the faulty optical cable cannot be observed by the radiographic inspection, and the faulty optical cable needs to be disassembled and inspected to determine the optical fiber fault information of the faulty optical cable.

[0090] In this embodiment, the internal inspection of the faulty optical cable is completed by radiographic inspection to determine whether the internal structure of the faulty optical cable is abnormal, and when it is determined that the internal structure of the faulty optical cable is abnormal, the second fault information is obtained according to the position and form of the abnormality, so that subsequent fault analysis of the faulty optical cable is performed according to the second fault information.

[0091] In some embodiments, the faulty optical cable comprises a fixing structure, a protection structure and an optical fiber; and the disassembled inspection of the faulty optical cable to determine the third fault information comprises:

[0092] S401, the fixing structure and the protection structure of the faulty optical cable are opened in sequence, so that the optical fiber of the faulty optical cable is exposed;

[0093] Specifically, the faulty optical cable comprises an optical fiber, a protection structure and a fixing structure which are arranged layer by layer, the fixing structure is located at the periphery of the protection structure, and the protection structure is located at the periphery of the optical fiber. When the faulty optical cable is disassembled and inspected, the fixing structure and the protection structure of the faulty optical cable are disassembled in sequence, and then the optical fiber of the faulty optical cable is exposed, so that the fault position and the fault condition of the optical fiber of the faulty optical cable are confirmed.

[0094] S402, whether the optical fiber of the faulty optical cable is broken is detected;

[0095] Specifically, the exposed optical fiber of the faulty optical cable is visually inspected to determine whether the optical fiber of the faulty optical cable is broken.

[0096] It should be noted that when the optical fiber of the faulty optical cable is broken, it is relatively easy to check, and when the optical fiber of the faulty optical cable is cracked, it is not easy to check. Therefore, when the optical fiber of the faulty optical cable is visually inspected, it needs to be observed sufficiently to avoid omission.

[0097] S403, in response to determining that the optical fiber of the faulty optical cable is broken, the breaking position is determined, and the breaking condition of the breaking position is analyzed to obtain the third fault information.

[0098] Specifically, based on the fracture of the optical fiber of the fault optical cable, the fracture position is determined, and the fracture condition of the fracture position is analyzed to determine the cause of the fracture position, and third fault information is obtained.

[0099] In the embodiment, the optical fiber of the fault optical cable is checked by disassembly inspection to determine the fracture position and fracture condition of the optical fiber of the fault optical cable, and the third fault information is obtained according to the fracture position and fracture condition, so that the fault position and fault cause of the fault optical cable are obtained according to the third fault information.

[0100] In some embodiments, the step S500 of determining the fault position and fault cause based on the first fault information, the second fault information and the third fault information comprises:

[0101] The step S501 of determining the fault position of the fault optical cable based on the third fault information.

[0102] Specifically, the third fault information is fault information of the optical fiber of the fault optical cable, and the optical fiber of the fault optical cable is the main structure of the fault optical cable. According to the third fault information, the root cause of the fault of the fault optical cable can be determined, and therefore, the fault position of the fault optical cable can be determined according to the third fault information.

[0103] The step S502 of determining the fault cause based on the first fault information, the second fault information and the third fault information.

[0104] Specifically, the first fault information is used to determine the abnormal position and abnormal condition of the appearance of the fault optical cable, and the second fault information is used to determine the abnormal position and abnormal condition of the internal structure of the fault optical cable. The correlation between the first fault information and the second fault information is analyzed by combining the external abnormal position, the external abnormal condition, the internal structure abnormal position and the internal structure abnormal condition, which is conducive to analyzing the fault cause. On this basis, the third fault information, i.e. the abnormal position and abnormal condition of the optical fiber of the fault optical cable, can be used to further determine the fault cause of the fault optical cable.

[0105] In the embodiment, the first fault information, the second fault information and the third fault information are comprehensively analyzed to realize comprehensive analysis of the fault optical cable, and the fault position and fault cause of the fault optical cable are obtained, which is conducive to avoiding the fault of the fault optical cable and reducing the fault rate of the optical cable.

[0106] In some embodiments, the third fault information includes a fracture position and a fracture condition, the first fault information includes an appearance abnormal position and an appearance abnormal condition, and the second fault information includes an internal abnormal position and an internal abnormal condition; and step S502 of determining a fault cause based on the first fault information, the second fault information, and the third fault information includes:

[0107] Step S502A, determining a positional relationship of the fracture position, the appearance abnormal position, and the internal abnormal position.

[0108] Specifically, the positional relationship among the fracture position, the appearance abnormal position, and the internal abnormal position is determined, so as to analyze the cause-effect relationship among the fracture position, the appearance abnormal position, and the internal abnormal position, and facilitate analysis of the fault cause of the fault optical cable.

[0109] Step S502B, determining a correlation of the fracture condition, the appearance abnormal condition, and the internal abnormal condition.

[0110] Specifically, the correlation among the fracture condition, the appearance abnormal condition, and the internal abnormal condition is determined, so as to analyze the cause-effect relationship among the fracture condition, the appearance abnormal condition, and the internal abnormal condition, and facilitate analysis of the fault cause of the fault optical cable.

[0111] Step S502C, determining the fault cause based on the positional relationship and the correlation.

[0112] Specifically, the fault cause of the fault optical cable is determined in combination with the positional relationship and the correlation.

[0113] For example, the fracture condition includes layer-by-layer expanding texture and secondary cracks, and the appearance abnormal condition and the internal abnormal condition are both null, the correlation is determined to be zero correlation, the fracture position is a certain position, the appearance abnormal position and the internal abnormal position are both null, the positional relationship is determined to be irrelevant, and based on this, the fracture condition of the optical fiber of the fault optical cable is determined to be a gradual development process, and the fault cause is determined to be repeated stress of the fault optical cable. The outer structure and the inner structure of the fault optical cable will not produce abnormal conditions under the action of repeated stress, while the optical fiber of the fault optical cable will gradually break under the action of repeated stress, resulting in failure to transmit optical signals and showing a fault condition.

[0114] In this embodiment, by comprehensively analyzing the first fault information, the second fault information, and the third fault information, the positional relationship of the fracture position, the appearance abnormal position, and the internal abnormal position is determined, the correlation of the fracture condition, the appearance abnormal condition, and the internal abnormal condition is determined, and the fault cause of the fault optical cable is determined in combination with the positional relationship and the correlation, which facilitates improvement of fault analysis accuracy.

[0115] In some embodiments, in step S402, the analysis of the fracture condition of the fracture position comprises:

[0116] In step S402A, the fracture of the fracture position is topographically photographed to obtain a fracture topography image.

[0117] Specifically, the fracture of the fracture position is topographically photographed to obtain a fracture topography image, and the fracture of the fracture position is analyzed by using the fracture topography image.

[0118] For example, as shown in FIG. 4B, a fracture topography image of an optical fiber of the faulty optical cable is shown. Figure 4

[0119] In step S402B, the fracture process analysis is performed on the fracture topography image.

[0120] Specifically, the fracture of the fracture position is analyzed by using the fracture topography image to analyze and determine the fracture process of the optical fiber of the faulty optical cable, so as to further determine the failure cause of the faulty optical cable.

[0121] In this embodiment, the fracture topography image is obtained by topographically photographing the fracture of the fracture position, and the fracture topography image is analyzed to analyze the fracture condition of the fracture position, which can improve the analysis accuracy of the fracture position of the optical fiber of the faulty optical cable, and further improve the analysis accuracy of the failure cause of the faulty optical cable.
