[0002] There is a need for optoelectronic composite cables for communication on drones. Optoelectronic composite is a cable that integrates optical fiber and transmission line, integrating the functions of optical fiber communication and power transmission. Compared with single-function transmission cables, optical fiber composite cables have the characteristics of high-reliability data transmission, low price, and convenient connection. It can solve the problems of broadband access, equipment power consumption, and signal transmission, avoid secondary wiring, and reduce engineering costs. For example, an optoelectronic composite cable with prior art publication number CN220065263U is composed of an optical unit and an electrical unit. The optical signal transmitted by the optical unit has a large transmission capacity and high efficiency, which meets the signal transmission needs. An optoelectronic composite cable with publication number CN201732631U is a composite of a conductor and an optical unit, integrating optical fiber and power transmission and distribution cables.

[0003] However, the above-mentioned prior art only protects the conductor and optical fiber inside by wrapping a sheath on the outermost layer. The sheath material is usually rubber, which has poor buffering performance against external impact loads. In addition, the outer sheath is easily damaged, resulting in exposure of the internal conductor and optical fiber, which is prone to accidents of electric shock to personnel, and has low safety. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a lightweight optoelectronic composite cable, which improves the protection performance of the conductive unit, the core optical unit and the grounding unit through a buffer layer, a buffer strip and an outer protective sheath, thereby improving the reliability and safety of power and signal transmission. At the same time, the insulating layer has good wear resistance, cutting resistance and puncture resistance. Even after the outer protective sheath and the metal shielding layer are damaged, the conductor, the optical fiber and the grounding conductor will not be exposed, thereby effectively preventing electric shock accidents and improving safety.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a light-weight optoelectronic composite cable, comprising a core optical unit, a grounding unit and two sets of conductive units;

It has excellent high temperature resistance and chemical stability, and can withstand temperatures up to 1600°C. Due to its fine and uniform fiber structure, it has excellent thermal insulation and seismic performance.

[0016] Preferably, the buffer layer and the buffer strip are both made of foam plastic, which is a type of polymer material formed by a large number of gas micropores dispersed in solid plastic. The foam plastic is covered with countless interconnected or unconnected micropores, which significantly reduces the apparent density of the plastic.

[0035] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0036] The utility model provides Figure 1-3 The light optoelectronic composite cable shown includes a core optical unit 200, a grounding unit 300 and two sets of conductive units 100;

[0037] The conductive unit 100 includes a conductor 101 and a first insulating layer 102 disposed outside the conductor 101 for conducting electricity;

[0038] The core optical unit 200 includes an optical fiber 201 and a second insulating layer 202 disposed outside the optical fiber 201, and is used to transmit signals;

[0039] The grounding unit 300 includes a grounding conductor 301 and a third insulating layer 302 disposed outside the grounding conductor 301 for grounding to improve safety.

[0040] The first insulating layer 102, the second insulating layer 202 and the third insulating layer 302 are all woven from aramid fiber. Aramid fiber is a new type of high-tech synthetic fiber with excellent properties such as soft texture, low density, high strength, high modulus, acid and alkali resistance, and light weight. It can protect the conductor 101, the optical fiber 201 and the grounding conductor 301. At the same time, aramid fiber has excellent insulation properties and can be used as an insulating layer for the conductor 101, the optical fiber 201 and the grounding conductor 301 to prevent the conductor 101, the optical fiber 201 and the grounding conductor 301 from short-circuiting with external media or other conductors, thereby ensuring the safe operation of the composite cable.

[0041] Next, a metal shielding layer 400 is sleeved on the outside of the core light unit 200, the grounding unit 300 and the two groups of conductive units 100. The metal shielding layer 400 is woven from at least one of tinned copper wire, aluminum alloy wire, copper tape, aluminum tape and steel tape, and has an electromagnetic field shielding function to avoid affecting the operation of the composite cable and the surrounding components of the composite cable.

[0042] Moreover, if Figure 1 , 2 As shown in , 3 and 5, an outer protective sleeve 500 is provided on the outer side of the metal shielding layer 400, and the outer protective sleeve 500 is woven from ceramic fibers 501 and glass fibers 502;

[0043] The glass fiber 502 has the characteristics of light weight, high strength, and high elastic modulus. The ceramic fiber 501 is an inorganic refractory fiber with alumina, aluminum silicate, etc. as the main components, and has excellent high temperature resistance and chemical stability. Therefore, the outer protective sheath 500 woven from the ceramic fiber 501 and the glass fiber 502 has the advantages of high strength, high temperature resistance, fire resistance, and light weight, thereby having high protection performance for the internal structure of the outer protective sheath 500.

[0044] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in , 3 and 4, a plurality of buffer strips 700 are provided between the outer protective sleeve 500 and the metal shielding layer 400, a plurality of buffer layers 600 are fixedly provided on the outer side of the outer protective sleeve 500, the buffer layers 600 are pressed and fixed on the outer side of the outer protective sleeve 500, and the buffer layers 600 and the buffer strips 700 are both made of foam plastic;

[0045] Foam plastics are a type of polymer material formed by a large number of gas micropores dispersed in solid plastics. The whole is covered with countless interconnected or unconnected micropores, which significantly reduces the apparent density. Therefore, the composite cable has the advantage of being lightweight. At the same time, the foam plastics can absorb impact loads, vibration energy, etc.

[0046] Therefore, the buffer layer 600 on the outside of the outer protective sleeve 500 is helpful in buffering external forces. At the same time, the buffer strip 700 on the outside of the conductive unit 100, the core light unit 200 and the grounding unit 300 can further buffer external forces. At the same time, the ceramic fiber 501 also has excellent shock resistance, thereby improving the protection performance of the conductive unit 100, the core light unit 200 and the grounding unit 300.

[0047] In addition, if the outer protective sleeve 500 and the metal shielding layer 400 are damaged, the conductive unit 100, the core light unit 200 and the grounding unit 300 are exposed. Since the aramid fiber in the insulating layer outside the conductor 101, the optical fiber 201 and the grounding conductor 301 has excellent wear resistance, cut resistance and puncture resistance, it is possible to prevent the insulating layer from being damaged and causing the conductor 101, the optical fiber 201 and the grounding conductor 301 to be exposed, thereby effectively preventing electric shock accidents and improving safety.

[0048] The above only describes some exemplary embodiments of the present invention by way of illustration. It is undoubted that those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
