[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention provides an embodiment of a communication flexible cable for gas monitoring in an unmanned underground working face, comprising a cable 1, a connecting sleeve 2 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cable 1, and a protective component and a waterproof component provided on the outer wall of the connecting sleeve 2.

[0032] The protective components include a steel tape protective sleeve 4, located on the outer wall of the connecting sleeve 2, which provides excellent compressive and tensile strength, ensuring that the cable 1 is not easily deformed when subjected to external heavy objects. A polyurethane protective sleeve 5 is provided on the outer wall of the steel tape protective sleeve 4, which is used to disperse the external tensile force in all directions, effectively reducing the local pressure on the cable 1 and protecting it from damage. The steel tape protective sleeve 4 and the polyurethane protective sleeve 5 are fixed together with adhesive to ensure a stable connection between the two and prevent separation during use. A nylon rope 7 is provided on the outer wall of the polyurethane protective sleeve 5, which is wrapped around the surface of the polyurethane protective sleeve 5, increasing the friction of the entire protective system and further enhancing the protective effect. The nylon rope 7 is used to protect the outer wall of the cable 1, effectively resisting scratches and collisions in the external environment and extending the service life of the cable 1.

[0033] Specifically, in the equipment protection process, the polyurethane protective sleeve 5, with its excellent wear resistance, oil resistance, and flexibility, becomes a key component in protecting the cable 1. This material can effectively resist mechanical scratches and impacts in the downhole environment, ensuring the stable operation of the cable 1 under harsh conditions. Furthermore, the application of the steel tape protective sleeve 4 further enhances the compressive strength of the cable 1, preventing deformation and damage caused by heavy objects. The steel tape protective sleeve 4 not only possesses excellent compressive strength but also effectively maintains the integrity of the equipment when subjected to tension, thereby improving the cable 1's ability to withstand external impacts in complex environments. To further enhance the protective effect, nylon rope 7 is wrapped around the surface of the polyurethane protective sleeve 5, providing additional protection for the cable 1. When the cable 1 moves in the complex downhole environment or comes into contact with other objects, the nylon rope 7 wrapped around the surface acts as the first line of defense, preferentially bearing friction. This design allows the cable 1 to more effectively resist scratches from objects such as sand and sharp rocks, thereby significantly reducing wear on the outer sheath and extending the service life of the cable 1. These protective measures have significantly enhanced the overall protective effect of the equipment, providing reliable protection for the use of cable 1 in harsh environments.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The waterproof component includes a thermoplastic polyurethane waterproof sleeve 6, which is located on the outer wall of the connecting sleeve 2. The thermoplastic polyurethane waterproof sleeve 6 is used to block water flow outside the equipment, effectively preventing moisture from damaging the internal components of the equipment. The sealing ring 8 is fitted to the outer wall of the connecting sleeve 2, and the sealing ring 8 is used to seal the connection between the connecting sleeve 2 and the butyl rubber waterproof sleeve 3, ensuring that no water seeps in at the connection, thereby enhancing the overall waterproof performance. A water-absorbing sponge 9 is fixedly connected between the two sealing rings 8. The water-absorbing sponge 9 is used to absorb small water droplets in the air, reducing the impact of moisture on the cable 1 and further protecting the safety of the cable 1. The thermoplastic polyurethane waterproof sleeve 6 is set on the outer wall of the polyurethane protective sleeve 5. The polyurethane protective sleeve 5 and the thermoplastic polyurethane waterproof sleeve 6 are fixed together with glue to ensure a tight seal between the two and enhance the firmness of the waterproof component. The thermoplastic polyurethane waterproof sleeve 6 has multiple drainage channels 10 inside, which are used to guide water droplets to the outside of the equipment, effectively reducing the retention of water droplets on the surface of the equipment, thereby reducing the potential threat of moisture to the equipment.

[0035] Specifically, in the waterproofing process of the equipment, the thermoplastic polyurethane waterproof sleeve 6 plays a crucial role, effectively blocking the intrusion of external moisture and protecting the safety of internal components. Simultaneously, the design of the guide channel 10 allows water droplets adhering to the surface of the thermoplastic polyurethane waterproof sleeve 6 to be smoothly guided to the bottom of the equipment. Through gravity, these water droplets separate from the inner wall of the guide channel 10, preventing water droplets from remaining on the equipment surface for extended periods and reducing the potential risk of equipment failure due to water accumulation. To further enhance the protective effect, a butyl rubber waterproof sleeve 3 is used to prevent water from entering the cable 1. The butyl rubber waterproof sleeve 3 has excellent waterproof performance, while the use of the sealing ring 8 enhances the seal between the butyl rubber waterproof sleeve 3 and the connecting sleeve 2, ensuring that moisture cannot seep in through the connection. To deal with small water droplets in the moisture, the absorbent sponge 9 is cleverly designed to absorb these moisture, further reducing the probability of moisture entering the cable 1. Through these comprehensive measures, the overall waterproof capability of the equipment is significantly improved, thereby ensuring the reliability and stability of the cable 1 in humid environments.

[0036] Working principle: During equipment protection, the polyurethane protective sleeve 5, with its excellent wear resistance, oil resistance, and flexibility, effectively resists mechanical scratches and collisions underground. Simultaneously, the steel strip protective sleeve 4 enhances the compressive strength of the cable 1, preventing deformation from heavy objects. The steel strip protective sleeve 4 not only resists compression but also possesses excellent tensile strength, ensuring the integrity of the equipment when stretched, further improving the cable 1's protective capabilities in complex environments. Finally, the nylon rope 7 wrapped around the surface of the polyurethane protective sleeve 5 provides protection for the cable 1. When the cable 1 moves in the complex underground environment or comes into contact with other objects, the surface-wound cable 1 acts as the first line of defense, bearing the friction first. Compared to the original outer sheath of the cable 1, the cable 1 is more resistant to scratches from sand, sharp rocks, and other objects, thereby reducing wear on the outer sheath, extending the service life of the cable 1, and enhancing the equipment's protective function.

[0037] During the waterproofing process, a thermoplastic polyurethane waterproof sleeve 6 is used to block external water, while a guide channel 10 guides water droplets adhering to the surface of the thermoplastic polyurethane waterproof sleeve 6 to the bottom of the equipment. Gravity separates the water droplets from the inner wall of the guide channel 10, preventing water droplets from adhering to the equipment surface for a long time. Next, a butyl rubber waterproof sleeve 3 is used to further prevent water from entering the cable 1. At the same time, a sealing ring 8 is used to enhance the sealing between the butyl rubber waterproof sleeve 3 and the connecting sleeve 2, and an absorbent sponge 9 is used to absorb small water droplets in the moisture, reducing the probability of water entering the cable 1 and enhancing the waterproofing effect of the equipment.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
