DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] See also Figures 1 to 3 The utility model provides a technical solution: a colored plastic optical fiber, comprising a plastic optical fiber sleeve 1, an optical fiber component 200 is installed on the inner side of the plastic optical fiber sleeve 1, and a protective component 300 is installed on the outer side of the plastic optical fiber sleeve 1; through the coordinated use of the optical fiber component 200 on the inner side of the plastic optical fiber sleeve 1 and the protective component 300 on the outer side, it can achieve the function of colored lighting decoration while improving the overall protective wear resistance and weather resistance and corrosion resistance, so that the colored plastic optical fiber can be used normally and stably for a long time, is not prone to wear and deformation, and is convenient to ensure the overall decorative beauty, thereby effectively improving the practicality of the colored plastic optical fiber.

[0025] In this embodiment, the protection component 300 is a structure used to protect the entire structure.

[0026] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the protective assembly 300 includes a sliding sleeve 301 fixed to the outside of the plastic optical fiber sleeve 1, an anti-corrosion sleeve 302 fixed to the outside of the sliding sleeve 301, an anti-bending sleeve 303 fixed to the outside of the anti-corrosion sleeve 302, a colored sleeve 304 fixed to the outside of the anti-bending sleeve 303, and a wear-resistant sleeve 305 fixed to the outside of the colored sleeve 304.

[0027] It should be noted that two connecting strips 401 are fixed to the outside of the wear-resistant sleeve 305, and several tear holes 402 are opened on the outside of the connecting strip 401. Two bevels 403 are opened on the outside of the connecting strip 401. The tear holes 402 are evenly arranged at equal distances, and the spacing between two adjacent tear holes 402 is not greater than 0.2 mm. The two bevels 403 on the same connecting strip 401 are both open on the opposite sides. The bevels 403 and the tear holes 402 are arranged in a straight line along the axis of the wear-resistant sleeve 305, so that the bevels 403 can be easily torn, thereby allowing adjacent tear holes 402 to be gradually torn, completing the separation of the two adjacent wear-resistant sleeves 305.

[0028] In addition, the anti-corrosion sleeve 302 is a mixed coating of transparent waterproof paint and epoxy resin, which can play a waterproof and anti-corrosion effect, and is used to separate the inner and outer sides of the sliding sleeve 301, providing a more stable protection effect on the internal structure.

[0029] At the same time, the anti-bending sleeve 303 is a transparent thermoplastic elastic tube body with excellent properties of high elasticity, aging resistance, and oil resistance. It is easy to process, can withstand a certain pressure, and will not affect the emission of internal light too much. The colored sleeve 304 is a colored transparent plastic tube that can change the light passing through into color, thereby enhancing the decorative effect. The wear-resistant sleeve 305 is a transparent wear-resistant polyurethane tube coated with a wear-resistant coating on the surface, which can achieve a double wear-resistant effect to enhance the overall protective wear resistance, so that it can be used stably for a long time.

[0030] In this embodiment, the optical fiber assembly 200 is a structure for enabling the optical fiber to work normally.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the optical fiber assembly 200 includes a plurality of optical fiber cores 201 located inside a plastic optical fiber sleeve 1 and filling particles 202 filled between the outside of the optical fiber cores 201 and the inside of the plastic optical fiber sleeve 1 .

[0032] It should be noted that the filling particles 202 are PVC transparent plastic particles, which have good transparency and heat resistance, and have an insulating effect. They can well fill and protect the optical fiber core 201 and allow the optical fiber in the optical fiber core 201 to be emitted normally.

[0033] The working principle of the above embodiment is:

[0034] When in use, the colored plastic optical fiber is energized, and light can be emitted through the optical fiber core 201, and then the light source emitted to the outside is changed into color through the colored sleeve 304, which has a decorative effect. The wear-resistant sleeve 305 can improve the wear resistance of the outer surface, and the anti-bending sleeve 303 can prevent the optical fiber core 201 from bending and breaking, and can also withstand a certain amount of pressure, so that its overall strength can be improved to a certain extent. The anti-corrosion sleeve 302 can improve the overall weather resistance, which is convenient for long-term and stable use in the outside world, so that the colored plastic optical fiber can meet the long-term and stable decorative lighting needs.

[0035] Compared with the existing technology, this colored plastic optical fiber, through the coordinated use between the optical fiber component 200 on the inside of the plastic optical fiber sleeve 1 and the protective component 300 on the outside, can achieve the function of colored lighting decoration while also improving the overall protective wear resistance and weather resistance and corrosion resistance, so that the colored plastic optical fiber can be used normally and stably for a long time, is not prone to wear and deformation, and is convenient for ensuring the overall decorative beauty, thereby effectively improving the practicality of the colored plastic optical fiber and solving the problem that the existing lighting decoration optical fiber cable has the ability of colored lighting decoration, but the overall strength and weather resistance are not strong enough.

[0036] It should be noted that the terms "comprises," "includes," or any other variations thereof are intended to encompass non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that includes a series of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. In the absence of further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprises a ..." does not preclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes the element.

[0037] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention.
