Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of winding wire devices, in particular to a retractable optical cable used for underwater detection. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of communication technology, the application of optical fiber communication in various occasions is becoming more and more extensive. In some harsh environments, optical cables need to be repeatedly retracted and extended to withstand sufficiently large tensile loads and lateral pressure between cable layers. The tensile and lateral pressure resistance of optical cables directly affects the service life of optical cables. However, ordinary optical cables often cannot meet this requirement, and the optical cable structure is damaged after repeated retraction and extension.

[0003] For example, a retractable optical cable for underwater detection disclosed in the authorization announcement number CN114200610A enhances the tensile strength, lateral compression strength and water resistance of the optical cable, and also reduces the density of the optical cable. Although the device enhances the tensile strength, lateral compression strength and water resistance of the optical cable, and also reduces the density of the optical cable, the internal temperature of the winding device cannot be well released, and spontaneous combustion is prone to occur. The device is provided with a cooling mechanism. When the winding device is working, the air blower installed above it is started, and the first motor drives the air blower to work, and the air blower absorbs the second motor at work. The heat generated during operation is absorbed from the motor box and then discharged from the two air outlets, so that the device can work safely, which improves the safety of the device. The reel of the device is prone to entanglement with debris, causing the optical cable to be stuck and the motor to short-circuit. This device sets a protective net, first rolls the optical cable on the reel, and the optical cable passes through the output hole and is put into the water as the reel rotates, so as to perform the detection task. The protective net prevents the wind from blowing some large garbage and branches into the reel during outdoor operations, which affects the working reel or jams it, thereby improving the use efficiency and safety of the device.
