Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of optical fiber cables, in particular to an indoor and outdoor dual-purpose optical fiber cable. Background Art

[0002] Fiber optic cable is a type of communications cable consisting of two or more glass or plastic optical fiber cores enclosed in a protective sheath, covered by a plastic PVC outer casing. Signals are transmitted along the inner fibers, typically using infrared light. Fiber optic cables are currently available for both indoor and outdoor use, depending on their intended use.

[0003] Existing indoor and outdoor dual-purpose optical fiber cables still have the following problems when in use: because indoor and outdoor dual-purpose optical fiber cables need to take into account the complex outdoor usage conditions, they are often thickened on the outer polyethylene sheath to protect the internal core structure. However, on the one hand, this increases the weight of the entire indoor and outdoor dual-purpose optical fiber cable, which is not conducive to installation and layout. At the same time, the thickened polyethylene sheath is not conducive to the heat dissipation of the internal core structure. Utility Model Content

[0004] (1) Technical problems solved

Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0022] It should be noted that the thickened polyethylene sheath 21 is a prior art, which is a thickened component relative to the polyethylene sheath outside the conventional optical fiber cable. This is common knowledge among people in this technical field and will not be elaborated here.

[0023] See also Figures 1 to 4 In the embodiment of the present invention, an indoor and outdoor dual-purpose optical fiber cable includes a core mechanism 1; an outer protective mechanism 2, which is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the core mechanism 1, the core mechanism 1 includes two groups of optical fiber cores 15 arranged on the inner side thereof, the core mechanism 1 also includes a plastic-coated steel belt 11 arranged on the outer side thereof, and the outer protective mechanism 2 includes a thickened polyethylene sheath 21 fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the plastic-coated steel belt 11, and the annular outer wall of the thickened polyethylene sheath 21 is X-shaped and has four groups of air guide grooves 25 with equal angles, each group of air guide grooves 25 is multiple and has an arc shape. The outer sheath structure is designed with an angle shape and adopts a weight-reducing and reinforced outer sheath. The main body of the outer sheath is a thickened polyethylene sheath 21, but four groups of air guide grooves 25 are opened at equal angles on the outside of the thickened polyethylene sheath 21. The opening of the air guide grooves 25 increases the outer surface area of ​​the overall thickened polyethylene sheath 21, and is conducive to air circulation, thereby facilitating the heat dissipation of the internal wire core mechanism 1. In addition, the opening of multiple air guide grooves 25 reduces the weight of the overall indoor and outdoor dual-purpose optical fiber cable and increases the convenience of its installation and layout.

[0024] The outer annular wall of the thickened polyethylene sheath 21 is fixedly connected with four wear-resistant strips 26 in a cross-shaped and equal-angled shape. The four wear-resistant strips 26 are staggered with the four groups of air guide grooves 25. A group of arc-shaped steel wire strips 23 are arranged inside and outside the thickened polyethylene sheath 21. A group of arc-shaped steel wire strips 23 are four and arranged in an X-shaped and equal-angled shape. The arc-shaped steel wire strips 23 are located inside a group of air guide grooves 25 on the corresponding side. The outer side of the thickened polyethylene sheath 21 is provided with an arc groove 22 for fixing the arc-shaped steel wire strips 23. The wear-resistant strips 26 are made of TPE material. The indoor and outdoor dual-purpose optical fiber cable is provided with a durable reinforcement component, that is, the outer wall of the thickened polyethylene sheath 21 is fixedly connected with a wear-resistant strip 26 made of TPE material between each two adjacent groups of air guide grooves 25, thereby improving the durability of the overall indoor and outdoor dual-purpose optical fiber cable, and an arc-shaped steel wire strip 23 is provided in the thickened polyethylene sheath 21 corresponding to each group of air guide grooves 25, thereby improving the mechanical strength of the thickened polyethylene sheath 21 where the air guide grooves 25 are opened.

[0025] A through groove 24 for fixing the plastic-coated steel belt 11 is provided at the center of the thickened polyethylene sheath 21. A water-blocking sleeve 12 is fixedly sleeved on the inner wall of the plastic-coated steel belt 11, and a loose sleeve 13 is fixedly sleeved on the inner wall of the water-blocking sleeve 12. The inner side of the loose sleeve 13 and the outer side of the optical fiber core 15 are filled with a sleeve filler 14, forming a wire core mechanism 1, through which the optical fiber core 15 inside can be used to transmit optical fiber signals.

[0026] The two groups of optical fiber cores 15 are arranged concentrically inside and outside. The inner group of optical fiber cores 15 consists of three optical fiber cores and are arranged at equal angles, and the outer group of optical fiber cores 15 consists of ten optical fiber cores and are arranged at equal angles. The double-layer multi-optical fiber core 15 structure design can reduce the load of the overall indoor and outdoor dual-purpose optical fiber cable when transmitting optical fiber signals.

[0027] The working principle of the present invention is: the wire core mechanism 1 can transmit optical fiber signals through the optical fiber core 15 therein. In addition, the overall double-layer multi-optical fiber core 15 structural design can reduce the load of the overall indoor and outdoor dual-purpose optical fiber cable when transmitting optical fiber signals. At the same time, due to the overall weight-reducing and reinforced outer sheath structure design, the outer sheath main body is a thickened polyethylene sheath 21, but the outer side of the thickened polyethylene sheath 21 is provided with four groups of air guide grooves 25 at equal angles. The opening of the air guide grooves 25 increases the outer surface area of ​​the overall thickened polyethylene sheath 21, and is conducive to air circulation, thereby facilitating the heat dissipation of the internal wire core mechanism 1. In addition, the opening of multiple air guide grooves 25 reduces the dead weight of the overall indoor and outdoor dual-purpose optical fiber cable, and increases the convenience of its installation and arrangement.

[0028] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
