Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cable production, in particular to an enhanced polypropylene optical cable tearing rope insulation structure. Background Technique

[0002] Cables are a means of transmission that can carry and guide the flow of energy, which can be electrical energy, light energy or other forms of signals. The cable family includes two main categories: cables and optical cables. Cables are mainly used to transmit electrical energy or electrical signals, while optical cables are used to transmit optical signals and are commonly found in data communication networks. Cables enable electrical energy and information to be transmitted efficiently and safely between different locations, and they are an indispensable part of modern communication infrastructure. Cables are widely used in many fields such as telecommunications networks, power transmission, industrial automation, and residential and commercial buildings. With the progress of technology, the design and materials of cables are constantly innovating to meet higher transmission rates, larger bandwidths, and stronger anti-interference capabilities.

[0003] After a large number of searches, the publication number is CN218274015, which discloses a cable with a double insulation effect for power equipment, including a conductor, an insulation protection sleeve arranged at a radially outer position relative to the conductor, a filling layer arranged at a radially outer position relative to the insulation protection sleeve, a flame retardant layer arranged at a radially outer position relative to the filling layer, an insulation isolation component arranged on the inner wall of the filling layer, and an outer protection sleeve fixedly installed on the outer wall of the flame retardant layer.

[0004] On the basis of the original insulation structure, the above device is provided with an insulation isolation component for double insulation protection. When a large amount of heat is generated after the cable operates for a long time and damages the insulation sleeve, the insulation isolation component plays a role in insulating and isolating each conductor to prevent the conductors from contacting each other and ensure the normal use of the cable. Compared with the past, the insulation effect and the use safety are improved. However, since the toughness condition of the conductors in the cable is much better than that of the optical fibers, when the above technology is directly used to improve the insulation of the optical cable, the optical fibers inside the optical cable will deform and break along with the insulation isolation component when the optical cable bears the same tensile force. Therefore, an enhanced polypropylene optical cable tearing rope insulation structure is proposed to solve the above problems. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an enhanced polypropylene optical cable tearing rope insulation structure, which has the advantages of excellent insulation and high tensile strength for the optical cable, and solves the problem that the optical fibers inside the optical cable are prone to breakage when being pulled in the prior art application of optical cable insulation.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present utility model provides the following technical solutions: An enhanced polypropylene optical cable tearing rope insulation structure, including a protective sleeve, inside which there is an insulation grid.

The optical fiber bundle passing through the insulation grid is arranged in parallel with the central strengthening member, which helps to keep the optical fibers neat and stable and reduce the mutual interference between the optical fibers.

[0015] Preferably, the length of the inner core sleeve matches the length of the insulation grid, and the inner core sleeve is arranged at the center of the protective sleeve. In the design, the length of the inner core sleeve is precisely matched with the insulation grid, ensuring the compactness and symmetry of the structure. The inner core sleeve is arranged at the center of the protective sleeve, providing precise positioning and an additional protective layer for the optical fiber bundle, enhancing the mechanical stability and tensile resistance of the optical cable.

[0016] Preferably, the outer wall of the support sleeve is adhesively installed with the insulating grid and the inner core sleeve, and the length of the support sleeve matches the length of the insulating grid. In the design, the support sleeve is fixed to the insulating grid and the inner core sleeve by adhesive bonding. This installation method ensures the tight fit between components and the integrity of the structure. The length of the support sleeve matches the insulating grid, providing uniform support for the cable core filling layer and enhancing the compression resistance and impact resistance of the optical cable.

[0017] Preferably, the cable core filling layer is made by mixing water-absorbing powder and resin matrix. In the design, the cable core filling layer is made of a mixture of water-absorbing powder and resin matrix. This material combination not only provides good water-blocking performance but also enhances the mechanical strength and environmental adaptability of the optical cable, ensuring stable performance even in a humid environment.
