[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] The utility model is a flame-retardant detection optical cable for underground use, comprising a cable sleeve and a plurality of optical fiber units arranged in the cable sleeve; the cable sleeve comprises, from the outside to the inside, a wear-resistant layer, an outer sheath layer, a porous filling layer, an aluminum film layer, a heat-insulating layer, a woven mesh layer, a waterproof layer, an aramid reinforcement layer, an inner sheath layer, and a water-blocking yarn layer; the porous filling layer is filled with a flame retardant.

[0007] Furthermore, the optical fiber unit includes a loose tube, an optical fiber arranged in the loose tube, and fiber grease is filled between the loose tube and the optical fiber; 2-24 optical fiber units and a filling rope are twisted together, and water-blocking wire and filling grease are filled during twisting, and then wrapped with a water-blocking tape layer to form an optical cable core with a circular cross-section; the optical cable core is arranged in a cable sleeve.

[0008] Furthermore, the outer sheath layer and the inner sheath layer are both made of polyethylene material.

[0009] Furthermore, the flame retardant includes organic flame retardant, inorganic flame retardant and halogen flame retardant.

[0012] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] The utility model improves the flame retardant effect of the optical cable as a whole by arranging an aluminum film layer and a porous filling layer filled with flame retardant on the outside of the optical cable core; at the same time, the arrangement of the aluminum film layer can achieve heat insulation by utilizing the aluminum film layer when the wear-resistant layer and the outer sheath layer are destroyed under flame, thereby preventing high temperature from damaging the waterproof layer, the aramid reinforcement layer, the inner sheath layer, and the water-blocking yarn layer, and heat radiation from damaging the optical fiber unit arranged in the cable sheath.

[0014] Of course, any product implementing the present invention does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The 13 optical fiber units 2 and the filling rope 3 are twisted together, and are filled with water-blocking wire 4 and filling grease 5 during twisting. Then, a water-blocking tape layer 6 is wrapped around the twisting to form an optical cable core with a circular cross-section; the optical cable core is arranged in the cable sheath 1.

[0021] At the same time, in order to facilitate the application of the optical cable in coal mines and other mines, the provided cable sheath 1 includes, from the outside to the inside, a wear-resistant layer 10, an outer sheath layer 11, a porous filling layer 12, an aluminum film layer 13, a heat-insulating layer 14, a woven mesh layer 15, a waterproof layer 16, an aramid reinforcement layer 17, an inner sheath layer 18, and a water-blocking yarn layer 19; the porous filling layer 12 is filled with a flame retardant, so that when a fire occurs, the flame will destroy the wear-resistant layer 10 and the outer sheath layer 11, and when the porous filling layer 12 is exposed When exposed, the flame retardant prevents the spread of flames, thereby preventing combustion from damaging the waterproof layer 16, the aramid reinforcement layer 17, the inner sheath layer 18, and the water-blocking yarn layer 19; at the same time, the aluminum film layer 13 and the thermal insulation layer 14 are arranged to prevent heat radiation by the aluminum film layer 13 and to prevent heat transfer by the thermal insulation layer 14, thereby preventing the high temperature inside the optical fiber unit 2 caused by the high temperature of the environment from occurring, thereby preventing the high temperature from damaging the optical fiber unit 2.
