[0035] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4The anti-pressure structure of the combined composite armored optical cable in the embodiment comprises, from inside to outside, a core 1, an inner sheath 2, a buffer layer 3, an armored layer 4, a sealing layer 5, a liquid guiding layer 6 and an outer sheath 7. The buffer layer 3 is made of silicone rubber material and can absorb mechanical impact through the elastic body material characteristics to improve the protection performance. The outer surface of the outer sheath 7 is provided with a group of wear-resistant convex balls 701 arranged in a distributed manner. The wear-resistant convex balls 701 are integrally formed with the outer sheath 7 and can reduce the surface friction coefficient of the outer sheath 7 through the hemispherical convex structure to improve the wear resistance. The sealing layer 5 is made of polyurethane elastomer material and can seal and store the glue when it is not damaged.
[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 . The armored layer 4 is an anti-pressure pipe body 401 with a plurality of cavity structures. The inner wall of the cross section of the pipe body 401 is provided with a plurality of linearly arranged trapezoidal rings 402. The thickness of the trapezoidal ring 402 of the cross section of the armored layer 4 is 0.3-0.5 times the thickness of the pipe wall. The graded anti-pressure structure is formed by matching the thickness of the trapezoidal ring 402 and the pipe wall, which can improve the ring bending strength while ensuring the longitudinal flexibility. The inner wall of each release hole 403 forms an inclined angle of 15-45° with the radial direction of the armored layer 4. The inclined angle controls the directional flow of the repair glue.
[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 . Each cavity is filled with a thermal response repair glue. Each trapezoidal ring 402 of the armored layer 4 is provided with a plurality of tapered release holes 403. The release holes 403 are closed by the sealing layer 5 in the normal state. When the outer sheath 7 and the sealing layer 5 are damaged, the repair glue flows out through the release holes 403 and solidifies to form a repair layer. The diameter of each release hole 403 is 0.5-2mm. The micro-pore structure design balances the flow rate of the repair glue to improve the release stability and sustainability.
[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 . The liquid guiding layer 6 is a composite structure, including a hydrophobic non-woven fabric layer 601 attached to the sealing layer 5 and a flow guiding mesh layer 602 attached to the outer sheath 7. The mesh size of the flow guiding mesh layer 602 is 2-3 times the diameter of the release hole 403. Through the composite structure of the liquid guiding layer 6, the directional diffusion of the repair glue can be realized, and a repair layer with uniform thickness can be formed.
[0040] The combined composite armored optical cable compression structure in this embodiment, through the design of the trapezoidal ring 402 of the armor layer 4, significantly enhances the mechanical strength of the ring while maintaining the longitudinal flexibility of the optical cable, effectively resisting external compression and impact, the buffer layer 3 uses elastic silicone rubber material to absorb mechanical vibration energy, reduce the risk of stress damage to the internal core 1, and improve the overall protection performance. When the sealing layer 5 is damaged, the thermal response repair glue in the cavity of the armor layer 4 flows out through the conical release hole 403 and quickly solidifies to form a repair layer. Combined with the hydrophobic non-woven fabric and the flow guide grid structure of the liquid guide layer 6, the repair glue diffuses along a specific direction, forming a uniform thickness repair layer in the damaged area, avoiding local accumulation or incomplete coverage of the glue, and improving the repair reliability. The wear-resistant convex ball 701 structure distributed on the surface of the outer sheath 7 reduces the friction coefficient and reduces surface wear caused by construction or environmental friction, prolonging the service life of the outer sheath 7.
[0041] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows: when the optical cable is compressed by external force, the trapezoidal ring 402 structure of the armor layer 4 can realize the reinforcing rib, improve the overall mechanical strength, and further ensure the compression strength of the armor layer 4. When the outer sheath 7 is damaged due to impact, the polyurethane elastomer material of the sealing layer 5 is also damaged. At this time, the temperature change activates the thermal response repair glue, the glue expands under heat to generate internal pressure, the expanded repair glue flows along the conical release hole 403, and the glue migrates to the direction of the damaged outer sheath 7. After the glue penetrates the sealing layer 5, it enters the liquid guide layer 6. The hydrophobic non-woven fabric layer 601 prevents the glue from penetrating in the opposite direction, and the flow guide grid layer 602 uniformly spreads the glue to the damaged area to form a continuous repair interface. The repair glue that contacts the air solidifies to form a tightly bonded protective layer, preventing water and gas from entering.
