TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to distributed optical fiber sensing technology field especially applicable to high tolerance type sensing optical cable structure of pitch pavement layer laying. BACKGROUND

[0003] When pitch pavement construction, not only the close coupling of the detection optical cable and pitch pavement material needs to be considered, but also the rolling of large engineering machinery during pitch pavement construction and the high temperature of pitch material when leaving factory need to be considered, at the same time, the vehicle traffic safety problem after pitch pavement damage needs to be improved, the conventional embedded detection optical cable obviously does not meet the construction requirement of high pressure and high temperature.
[0004] In summary, solving the high tolerance and safety problem of detection optical cable during pitch layer construction of highway is the core key of the wide popularization and application of distributed optical fiber sensing technology in wisdom highway field. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT

[0018] Fig. 2 This is a schematic cross-sectional view of the entire structure of a high-tolerance sensor optical cable suitable for laying on asphalt pavement provided by an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein the accompanying drawings constitute a part of this application and are used together with the embodiments of the present invention to illustrate the principles of the present invention, and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0020] like Figs. 1-2As shown, the utility model provides a kind of high tolerance type sensing optical cable structure suitable for asphalt pavement layer laying, including sensing optical fiber 100, impact resistance layer 200, metal stranding layer 300, metal armor layer 400 and outer sheath layer 500, sensing optical fiber 100 is wrapped by impact resistance layer 200 setting;Metal stranding layer 300 is wrapped by impact resistance layer 200 setting;Metal armor layer 400 is wrapped by metal stranding layer 300 setting;Outer sheath layer 500 is wrapped by metal armor layer 400 setting, outer sheath layer 500 is configured as after heating can soften, and deform under extrusion and closely adhere with asphalt.
[0021] When implementing, the impact resistance layer 200 provided can provide good mechanical impact resistance for the optical cable structure, the metal stranding layer 300 provides the optical cable structure with the ability to resist stamping, while also enhancing the bending performance and tensile performance of the overall optical cable structure. Through the above settings, the optical cable structure can meet the high resistance requirements during the construction of the asphalt layer of the highway. When the asphalt pavement material is damaged by vehicles, the sensing optical cable may be exposed. Therefore, under the wrapping and restraint of the metal armor layer 400 and the outer sheath layer 500, the steel wires of the metal stranding layer 300 can be effectively prevented from coming into contact with the tires of the vehicles, thereby avoiding potential safety hazards. At the same time, during the paving of the asphalt pavement, the outer sheath layer 500 softens in a high-temperature environment, and under the rolling of the engineering machinery, the outer sheath layer 500 closely adheres to the asphalt, improving the overall coupling and enhancing the effectiveness of temperature and vibration signal transmission.
[0022] The sensing optical fiber 100 in the present embodiment is a high-temperature resistant grating array sensing optical fiber or a high-temperature resistant distributed sensing optical fiber. The coating material of the sensing optical fiber 100 is modified polyacrylate or polyimide, which has a short-term high-temperature resistance of above 180°C, ensuring that the sensing optical fiber 100 maintains effective sensing function under high-temperature baking during the paving of the asphalt pavement material.
[0023] The impact resistance layer 200 in the present embodiment wraps the sensing optical fiber 100, which can provide good mechanical impact resistance for the optical cable structure.
[0024] In one embodiment, the impact resistance layer 200 includes an inner seamless welded pipe 210, which is arranged between the sensing optical fiber 100 and the metal stranding layer 300. The inner seamless welded pipe 210 is made by a cold-drawing hardening and springback process, so that the sensing optical fiber 100 inside the inner seamless welded pipe 210 forms an excess length that meets the use requirements. The size of the excess length is controlled by adjusting the pay-off tension and the cold-drawing tension of the sensing optical fiber 100.
[0025] When the sensing optical fiber 100 is a temperature sensing optical fiber, the inner seamless welded tube 210 in the embodiment adopts a dry filling-free structure, which can avoid stress cross-influence and improve temperature measurement accuracy; when the sensing optical fiber 100 is a vibration sensing optical fiber, in order to improve effective transmission of the vibration signal and its transmission uniformity, the optical cable structure in the embodiment further comprises hydrogen fiber paste filling between the sensing optical fiber 100 and the inner seamless welded tube 210.
[0026] Due to the limitation of the wall thickness of the inner seamless welded tube 210, the impact resistance strength provided by the inner seamless welded tube 210 is not enough relative to the heavy mechanical impact in asphalt pavement paving, therefore, in an embodiment, the impact resistance layer 200 comprises an outer seamless welded tube 220, which is arranged at a position between the inner seamless welded tube 210 and the metal stranded layer 300. Wherein, the wall thickness of the inner seamless welded tube 210 and the outer seamless welded tube 220 are both not greater than 0.3 mm.
[0027] Wherein, the inner seamless welded tube 210 and the outer seamless welded tube 220 are both stainless steel strips formed by longitudinal welding, and the inner seamless welded tube 210 and the outer seamless welded tube 220 are tightly combined through cold drawing hardening. The double-layer welded tube structure formed by the inner seamless welded tube 210 and the outer seamless welded tube 220 can provide higher mechanical impact resistance for the optical cable structure.
[0028] Although the above double-layer seamless welded tube structure has enough impact resistance, the overall flexibility, tensile resistance and bending resistance are poor, therefore, in the embodiment, a metal stranded layer 300 is designed outside the impact resistance layer 200. Wherein, the metal stranded layer 300 can be made of galvanized steel wire, aluminum-coated steel wire, phosphorized steel wire or stainless steel wire and processed by S-stranding or SZ-stranding process, which further provides impact resistance for the optical cable structure, and also enhances the bending performance and tensile resistance of the overall optical cable structure.
[0029] The metal armor layer 400 in the embodiment is a rubber-coated steel strip. The metal armor layer 400 can adopt a corrugation process to improve its flexibility.
[0030] The outer sheath layer 500 in the embodiment is a PE tube. Of course, the outer sheath layer 500 can also be made of other materials that soften at high temperatures.
[0031] Compared with the prior art, the impact resistance layer 200 provided can provide good mechanical impact resistance for the optical cable structure, the metal stranded layer 300 provides the impact resistance for the optical cable structure and enhances the bending performance and tensile performance of the whole optical cable structure, the optical cable structure can meet the demand of high resistance in the highway asphalt layer construction through the above arrangement; when the asphalt pavement material is damaged by vehicles, the sensing optical cable is exposed, and therefore, under the wrapping and binding of the metal armor layer 400 and the outer sheath layer 500, the steel wires of the metal stranded layer 300 can be effectively prevented from contacting the driving tire to cause the traffic safety hazard; meanwhile, when the asphalt pavement is paved, the outer sheath layer 500 is softened under the high-temperature environment and closely adheres to the asphalt under the rolling of the engineering machinery, the overall coupling is improved, and the transmission effectiveness of the temperature and vibration signals is enhanced.
[0032] The above merely describes a preferred specific implementation of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited to this, any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered in the protection scope of the present application.
