AI Technical Summary
Existing optical cables are easily bitten by mice when laid below the ground, resulting in damage to the optical cables. The existing rat-proof measures make the optical cables not soft enough and have poor bending performance.
A flexible anti-rat flame-retardant optical cable is designed, which includes a cable core part, a reinforcement part and an outer guard. The cable core part consists of a central reinforcement, a loose sleeve and an inner cover layer. The loose sleeve is unidirectional spiral twisted around the outer ring of the central reinforcement, and the inner cover layer is covered by the equivalent outer ring formed by the combination of the loose sleeve. The reinforcement layer part is composed of nylon rods, which are unidirectional spiral twisted around the outer ring of the inner protective layer to form a ring-shaped or ring-shaped structure. The outer cover covers the reinforcement layer to fill the outer gap of the nylon rod to ensure that the nylon rod and the outer cover form an integral structure.
The optical cable carries a circle of nylon rods in the inner and outer protective layer, effectively preventing rat bites, while maintaining the softness of the optical cable, significantly improving bending performance, and ensuring the reliable service life of the optical cable.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of optical cable structures, and specifically relates to a flexible rat-proof and flame-retardant optical cable. Background Art
[0002] Optical cables play an important role in information and data transmission in various fields. However, optical cables laid underground are extremely vulnerable to being bitten by rats, which can damage the optical cables. Therefore, in the prior art, nylon materials are coated on the outer sheath of the optical cable, or the outer sheath is armored with metal rods or non-metallic tapes. However, such optical cables will make the overall optical cable less flexible, and thus the bending performance becomes worse. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a flexible and reliable rat-proof optical cable. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In view of the above problems, the utility model provides a flexible rat-proof and flame-retardant optical cable, which enables the optical cable to have a soft performance and can reliably prevent rats from biting, ensuring the reliable service life of the optical cable.
[0004] A flexible rat-proof and flame-retardant optical cable, characterized in that it comprises:
[0005] A cable core part, which includes a central strengthening member, a plurality of loose tubes, and an inner sheath. The loose tubes are circumferentially arranged around the outer circumference of the central strengthening member in a unidirectional spiral stranding manner, and the inner sheath is coated on the equivalent outer circumference formed by the combination of the loose tubes;
[0006] A strengthening layer part, which includes a plurality of nylon rods. The nylon rods are circumferentially arranged around the outer circumference of the inner sheath in a unidirectional spiral stranding manner;
[0007] And an outer sheath;
[0008] The strengthening layer part is wound around the outer circumference of the cable core part, and the outer sheath is coated on the outer circumference of the strengthening layer part.
[0009] It is further characterized in that:
[0010] The overall equivalent outer circumference formed by the loose tubes is coated with a tape layer, and the inner sheath is coated on the outer circumference of the tape layer;
[0011] The longitudinal section of the nylon rod is circular. At this time, adjacent nylon rods are in close contact to form an imitation ring structure. When the outer sheath is coated, it fills the outer layer gap between adjacent nylon rods, ensuring that the nylon rods and the outer sheath form an integral structure after stranding, and ensuring the stable and reliable positioning of the nylon rods;
[0012] The longitudinal section of the nylon rod is trapezoidal or SZ-shaped, which ensures that the nylon rods enclose to form a ring structure.
[0013] After adopting the structure of the present utility model, a nylon rod is clamped between the inner protective layer and the outer protective layer of this optical cable, which can effectively prevent rat bites, and makes the optical cable itself relatively soft, with significantly improved bending performance; it endows the optical cable with soft performance and can reliably prevent rat bites, ensuring the reliable service life of the optical cable.
