Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of optical cable processing supporting facility design, in particular to an optical cable sheath drying device. Background Art

[0002] Fiber optic cable is a type of cable used to transmit optical signals. It is widely used in communications networks, the internet, cable television, medical equipment, military, and aerospace applications. During the production process, after the cable is sheathed in an extruder, its surface temperature reaches a very high temperature, requiring cooling in a water tank. The cable sheath exits the water tank carrying a large amount of water droplets and vapor. To ensure the integrity and durability of the printed text on the cable, the moisture on the cable surface must be dried quickly.

[0003] Existing optical cable drying devices lack a step for processing the blown-out water vapor. In a humid environment, the water vapor easily flows back into the blowing sleeve, affecting the dehumidification result. At the same time, this part of the water vapor cannot be recycled, resulting in a waste of resources. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] Furthermore: the box device includes a dehumidification box, a plurality of partitions are evenly and fixedly arranged in the middle of the dehumidification box, and insulation pipes are fixedly arranged on the partitions.

[0008] Furthermore: the dehumidification device includes a blowing sleeve, two air inlet valves are symmetrically arranged on the upper and lower sides of the blowing sleeve, a number of horizontal air inlet holes are evenly arranged in the middle of the blowing sleeve, vertical air inlet holes are arranged above the horizontal air inlet holes, and a number of air outlet holes are evenly arranged on one side of the blowing sleeve.

[0009] Furthermore, the connecting pipe and the air inlet valve are connected together through a joint, and the blowing sleeve is bolted to the heating box.

[0010] Furthermore: the top plate is connected to the dehumidification box bearing, the heat dissipation grille is square-shaped, and the heat dissipation grille and the heat dissipation block are integrally formed.

[0011] Furthermore: the bottom surface of the top plate is arc-shaped, and the cross-section of the receiving piece is V-shaped.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0013] By setting a heating block at the bottom of the dehumidification box, the internal temperature of the dehumidification box is increased, which promotes the evaporation of water vapor on the air outlet and prevents it from flowing back into the blowing sleeve when not spraying, which will affect the dehumidification result.

[0014] By providing a receiving plate on the top plate with a curved bottom surface and cooperating with the heating block to evaporate water vapor, the water vapor can be recovered at the top plate, which not only solves the problem of excess water vapor, but also saves costs, avoids moisture in the processing site, and improves the practicality of the device.

The air flow is vertically ejected from the vertical air inlet holes 204 to the surface of the optical cable, and is laterally ejected from the horizontal air inlet holes 203 to the surface of the optical cable, taking away the residual water vapor on the surface of the optical cable, and finally the air flow mixed with water vapor is discharged from the air outlet holes 205;

[0028] In this embodiment, the heating device 3 includes a heating box 301, on which a plurality of heating blocks 302 are evenly mounted.

Finally, the air flow is vertically sprayed onto the surface of the optical cable from the vertical air inlet hole 204, and horizontally sprayed onto the surface of the optical cable from the horizontal air inlet hole 203, taking away the residual water vapor on the surface of the optical cable. Finally, the air flow mixed with water vapor is discharged from the air outlet 205, and the heating box 301 supports the heating block 302 to release heat, so that the temperature in the dehumidification box 101 rises, and the water vapor discharged from the air outlet 205 evaporates, so that the air on the optical cable is heated. The heat is released after it contacts the bottom surface of the top plate 401, passes through the gap between the receiving piece 402 and the top plate 401, and moves to the top of the receiving piece 402. After contacting the heat sink 404, the heat is released and the liquefied water drips onto the receiving piece 402. The receiving piece 402 guides the water to flow into the recovery pipe 403 to realize water resource recovery. The heat dissipation grid 405 on the top of the heat sink 404 increases the contact area between the heat sink 404 and the air, and increases the heat loss rate inside the heat sink 404, which is convenient for continuous cooling of steam. The insulation tube 103 wraps the part of the optical cable outside the blowing sleeve 201 to prevent the optical cable body from being directly heated and affecting the performance of the optical cable. The top plate 401 can rotate along the dehumidification box 101 for easy maintenance.
