[0014] Beneficial Effects

[0015] The utility model provides a cable with a detection function, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] (1) For the cable with a detection function, by providing a detection module, when the side surface of the protective sleeve is damaged and water flows into the corresponding inner cavity of the protective sleeve isolated by the partition blocks, the water in the cavity squeezes the outer sides of the deformation blocks to deform out of the slotted opening. The water flows into the connecting strip through the gaps between both sides of the deformation blocks and the slotted opening. After the water in the connecting strip reaches the position of the mating groove, the water accumulates at the position inside the connecting cavity. The connecting groove squeezes the water inside the connecting cavity against the pressure sensor on the side surface of the detection component. After the pressure sensor is subjected to pressure, it feeds back a signal to the remote controller through the signal transmitter to prompt an alarm. At this time, the staff knows that the cable is damaged and can carry tools to carry out repairs. In this way, the cable in the river can have the effect of self-detection and can conveniently and quickly prompt the staff of the damage.

[0017] (2) For the cable with a detection function, by providing a prompting module, the water in the inner cavity of the protective sleeve flows into the installation groove, and the prompting groove guides the water to squeeze against the side surface of the prompting block, so that the prompting block is constrained to slide out of the prompting groove inside the constraint groove. In this way, the prompting block extends out at the side surface of the protective sleeve, which is convenient for subsequent staff to observe during repairs and can quickly know the damage position for repairs.

Specific embodiments

[0028] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without making creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0029] A cable with a detection function, as Figure 1 - Figure 6 shown, includes a main cable 1. The main cable 1 is a multi-core cable. A protective sleeve 2 is movably sleeved on the side of the main cable 1. The protective sleeve 2 is a circular sleeve made of wear-resistant rubber with a circular cross-section. The protective sleeve 2 plays a protective role for the main cable 1. A detection module is provided inside the main cable 1 and the protective sleeve 2 for detecting cable damage. A prompt module is provided inside the main cable 1 and the protective sleeve 2 for prompting the cable damage point.

[0030] Further, the detection module includes a spacer block 3 fixedly installed at equal intervals between the main cable 1 and the protective sleeve 2. The spacer block 3 is a circular ring block made of plastic. The spacer block 3 supports the protective sleeve 2 and isolates the inside of the protective sleeve 2 into multiple groups of cavities. Connecting strips 6 are fixedly installed at equal intervals in a circumferential array on the side surface of the main cable 1, and the connecting strips 6 penetrate through the spacer block 3. The connecting strip 6 is a rectangular strip made of rubber with an arc-shaped cross-section. A detection block 7 is fixedly installed between the main cable 1 and the protective sleeve 2, and the detection block 7 penetrates through the connecting strip 6. The detection block 7 is a circular ring block. A matching block 8 is fixedly sleeved on the side surface of the protective sleeve 2 corresponding to the position of the detection block 7. The matching block 8 is a circular ring block. Two connecting cavities 10 are symmetrically opened inside the detection block 7. The connecting cavity 10 is a circular ring cavity. A matching groove 11 penetrating through the detection block 7 is opened on the inner wall of the connecting cavity 10 corresponding to the position of the connecting strip 6. The matching groove 11 is an arc-shaped groove. The connecting strip 6 and the connecting cavity 10 can be connected together through the matching groove 11. A detection component 9 is fixedly installed inside the matching block 8. The detection component 9 is composed of a pressure sensor (SBT connecting strip 6 detection block 7 spacer block 3), a battery block, and a signal transmitter. The pressure sensor can feedback a signal to the remote controller through the signal transmitter after being subjected to pressure. The battery provides power supply. A connecting groove 12 is opened on the inner wall of the connecting cavity 10, and the connecting groove 12 penetrates through the protective sleeve 2 and the matching block 8 to the side position of the detection component 9. The connecting groove 12 can make the water inside the connecting cavity 10 flow to the side of the detection component 9 and exert pressure on the detection component 9. A slot 13 is opened on the side surface of the connecting strip 6 at the position corresponding to the spacer block 3. The slot 13 is a rectangular slot. Deformation blocks 14 are fixedly installed on the inner walls on both sides of the slot 13. The deformation blocks 14 are arc-shaped blocks made of elastic rubber. When the outside of the deformation block 14 is stressed, it can deform out of the inside of the slot 13, so that water can flow into the inside of the connecting strip 6 through the gap between both sides of the deformation block 14 and the slot 13. When the inside of the deformation block 14 is stressed, it can deform inside the slot 13 to prevent the water inside the connecting strip 6 from flowing into the cavities isolated by other spacer blocks 3;

[0031] Further, the prompt module includes support blocks 4 fixedly installed on both sides of the partition block 3. The support blocks 4 are petal-shaped elastic rubber material circular blocks. A support rod 5 is fixedly installed in the recess on the side of the support block 4, and the support rod 5 is attached to the inner side of the protective sleeve 2. The support rod 5 is a rectangular rod made of rubber material. The support blocks 4 and the support rod 5 can enhance the support effect on the protective sleeve 2. Installation grooves 15 penetrating the support rod 5 are symmetrically opened at positions on the side of the support rod 5 close to the support block 4. The installation grooves 15 are rectangular grooves. A prompt groove 16 penetrating the support rod 5 and the protective sleeve 2 is opened on the inner wall of the installation groove 15. The prompt groove 16 is a cylindrical groove with an "L"-shaped cross-section. The prompt groove 16 can guide the water inside the installation groove 15. A constraint groove 17 is opened on the inner wall of the prompt groove 16 corresponding to the inside of the support rod 5. The constraint groove 17 is a circular groove. A prompt block 18 is movably installed inside the constraint groove 17, and the prompt block 18 is arranged inside the prompt groove 16. The prompt block 18 is a cylindrical block made of rubber material with a "T"-shaped cross-section. The water inside the prompt groove 16 squeezes the side of the prompt block 18, causing the prompt block 18 to be constrained and slide out of the inside of the prompt groove 16 within the constraint groove 17.

[0032] The working principle of the present utility model:

[0033] When the cable is placed at the bottom of the river channel, the side of the protective sleeve 2 is damaged, and water flows into the corresponding inner cavity of the protective sleeve 2 isolated by the partition block 3. At this time, the water inside the cavity squeezes the outside of the deformation block 14 to deform out of the inside of the opening groove 13, so that the water can flow into the connecting strip 6 through the gap between both sides of the deformation block 14 and the opening groove 13. After the water inside the connecting strip 6 flows to the matching groove 11, the water accumulates at the inside position of the connecting cavity 10. The water inside the connecting cavity 10 is squeezed onto the pressure sensor on the side of the detection component 9 through the connecting groove 12. After the pressure sensor receives the pressure, it feeds back a signal to the remote controller through the signal transmitter to prompt an alarm. At this time, the staff knows that the cable is damaged;

[0034] At the same time, the water inside the inner cavity of the protective sleeve 2 flows into the installation groove 15, and the water is guided by the prompt groove 16 to squeeze on the side of the prompt block 18, causing the prompt block 18 to be constrained and slide out of the inside of the prompt groove 16 within the constraint groove 17. In this way, the prompt block 18 extends out at the side position of the protective sleeve 2, which is convenient for the subsequent staff to observe during maintenance, and thus quickly know the damaged position.

[0035] The above shows and describes the basic principle, main features and advantages of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art of this industry should understand that the present utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. What is described in the above embodiments and the specification only illustrates the principle of the present utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model, the present utility model will have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present utility model claimed. The scope of protection claimed by the present utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
