[0024] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the flexible tensile silicon core tube of this utility model includes a silicon core tube body 1 comprising:

[0026] Silicon core tube inner layer 2, which is made of flexible polymer material;

[0027] The outer layer 3 of the silicon core tube wraps around the inner layer 2 of the silicon core tube, and the outer layer 3 of the silicon core tube is made of reinforced silicone material;

[0028] The silicon core tube reinforcing layer 4 is located between the outer silicon core tube layer 3 and the inner silicon core tube layer 2. The reinforcing layer 4 contains multiple radially arranged reinforcing ribs 6. The inner silicon core tube layer 2, made of a flexible polymer material, significantly improves the overall flexibility of the silicon core tube, allowing it to bend freely in complex terrain without easily deforming or being damaged. The outer silicon core tube layer 3 uses reinforced silicone material, which not only improves the wear resistance and aging resistance of the silicon core tube but also enhances its chemical corrosion resistance, thereby extending the service life of the silicon core tube. The reinforcing layer 4... It contains multiple radially arranged reinforcing ribs 6, which can effectively disperse external pressure, improve the tensile strength of the silicon core tube, and prevent breakage when subjected to large tensile forces. Due to the presence of the reinforcing ribs 6, the silicon core tube can maintain good flexibility while also having high compressive strength, making it suitable for applications that need to withstand heavy loads. The reinforcing ribs in the silicon core tube reinforcing layer 4 can effectively and tightly bond with the inner layer 2 and the outer layer 3 of the silicon core tube to form an integrated composite structure, thereby significantly improving the structural stability and durability of the entire silicon core tube, making it highly adaptable and with a long service life.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, as a preferred embodiment, the silicon core tube reinforcing layer 4 further includes an elastic connector 7 disposed between adjacent reinforcing ribs 6. The reinforcing ribs 6 are distributed in a spiral shape, and the cross-sectional shape of the reinforcing ribs 6 is circular or rectangular. The combined use of the reinforcing ribs 6 and the elastic connector 7 can effectively absorb and mitigate external impact forces, thereby improving the seismic performance of the silicon core tube. The spiral distribution of the reinforcing ribs 6 can better disperse the externally applied pressure, significantly improving the tensile strength and compressive strength of the silicon core tube, so that it can still maintain structural stability when subjected to large tensile forces or heavy loads.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, as a preferred embodiment, multiple sets of tensile fiber bundles are embedded inside the outer layer 3 of the silicon core tube. The tensile fiber bundles are made of high-strength fiber material. By embedding multiple sets of tensile fiber bundles inside the outer layer 3 of the silicon core tube, the tensile strength of the silicon core tube can be significantly improved. Even when subjected to large tensile forces, the structure can remain stable and avoid breakage. The tensile fiber bundles are made of high-strength fiber material, which has excellent mechanical properties and can effectively disperse and absorb externally applied pressure, significantly improving the compressive strength of the silicon core tube. The addition of tensile fiber bundles makes the silicon core tube perform well in heavy-load application scenarios and can withstand complex terrain conditions and harsh working environments.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, as a preferred embodiment, the outer layer 3 of the silicon core tube has anti-slip textures on its surface; the anti-slip textures on the outer layer 3 of the silicon core tube can increase the friction coefficient of the silicon core tube surface, improve its gripping stability during installation and use, and facilitate manual operation and mechanical handling.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, as a preferred embodiment, it also includes a sealing ring 5, which is located at both ends of the silicon core tube body 1. The sealing ring 5 can effectively prevent moisture and dust from entering the silicon core tube, protect the internal cables from the influence of the external environment, and improve the waterproof and dustproof performance of the silicon core tube.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, as a preferred embodiment, the diameter of the silicon core tube body 1 ranges from 5mm to 50mm. This design allows the silicon core tube to be suitable for various application scenarios and meet the needs of cables of different sizes. A smaller diameter (such as 5mm) makes it easier to lay in confined spaces, suitable for indoor wiring, internal wiring of electronic equipment, etc., improving laying flexibility. A larger diameter (such as 50mm) can accommodate more cables, suitable for backbone laying in large-scale engineering projects, improving transmission capacity and load capacity.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, as a preferred embodiment, the reinforcing rib 6 is made of metal or composite material; the reinforcing rib 6 is made of metal or composite material, both of which have high strength and rigidity, which can significantly improve the tensile strength of the silicon core tube and ensure the structural stability and reliability of the silicon core tube when subjected to large tensile forces.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, as a preferred embodiment, the inner surface of the inner layer 2 of the silicon core tube is provided with a lubricating coating. The lubricating coating provided on the inner surface of the inner layer 2 of the silicon core tube can significantly reduce the friction coefficient between the internal cable and the silicon core tube, making the cable smoother when it is inserted into or removed from the silicon core tube, improving the cable insertion efficiency. The presence of the lubricating coating reduces the wear of the cable during the cable insertion process, protects the cable sheath, avoids cable damage caused by friction, and improves the service life of the cable.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, as a preferred embodiment, the silicon core tube reinforcing layer 4 further includes one or more layers of fiber braid 8; the one or more layers of fiber braid 8 included in the silicon core tube reinforcing layer 4 can further improve the overall tensile strength and compressive strength of the silicon core tube, so that the silicon core tube can still maintain structural stability when subjected to large tensile forces or heavy loads.

[0037] The flexible tensile silicon core tube of this utility model can be installed, connected, or set in a common mechanical manner, and any method that can achieve its beneficial effect can be implemented.

[0038] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
