[0036] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0037] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 5 A compact armored cable includes: an outer sheath 1, a scratch-resistant component 2, and a connecting component 3. The outer sheath 1 is used to wrap the armored cable and is fitted onto the outer surface of the outer sheath 1. The scratch-resistant component 2 includes two symmetrically arranged sleeves 21, which are installed at the outer end of the outer sheath 1 and protrude from the outer surface of the outer sheath 1. Scratch-resistant rings 24 are fixedly installed at equal intervals at the outer end of the sleeves 21. The connecting component 3 is used to connect the two sleeves 21. The sleeves 21 raise the outer sheath 1, and the scratch-resistant rings 24 contact the ground to prevent the outer sheath 1 from rubbing against the ground.

[0038] The armored cable also includes: an installation component 4 and an inner sheath 7. The inner side of the installation component 4 is provided with ring-shaped and equidistantly distributed tensile filaments 5. The outer end of the tensile filaments 5 is wrapped with a steel strip layer 6. The outer sheath 1 is fitted on the outer surface of the steel strip layer 6. The installation component 4 is fitted on the outer surface of the inner sheath 7. The inner sheath 7 is provided with three conductors 11.

[0039] Compared to traditional armored cables, the armored cable in this solution prevents direct friction between the cable and the ground when dragged. The outermost sheath 1, made of polyvinyl chloride, is primarily used to protect the cable's internal components from chemical corrosion and mechanical damage. Multiple anti-scratch components 2 are evenly distributed on the outer surface of the sheath 1. The spacing between each anti-scratch component 2 can be adjusted according to actual conditions, for example, fifty or thirty centimeters. Each anti-scratch component 2 requires two connecting components 3 to be used, which secure both ends of the anti-scratch component 2 to the outer sheath 1.

[0040] The anti-scratch component 2 surrounds the surface of the outer sheath 1. Since the anti-scratch component 2 protrudes from the surface of the outer sheath 1, when workers lay the cable and drag it, the outer sheath 1 will be supported by multiple anti-scratch components 2 on the outer surface and isolated from the ground. Because the armored cable has a larger diameter, after being supported by the anti-scratch component 2, the middle of the cable is not easy to bend downward and contact the ground. Instead, the anti-scratch component 2 will rub against the ground, thereby preventing the surface of the outer sheath 1 from being damaged and reducing the damage rate of the cable.

[0041] Please see Figure 2The outer surfaces of the three conductors 11 are all covered with an insulating layer 10, and the outer surface of the insulating layer 10 is covered with a shielding layer 9. The inner sheath 7 is filled with a filling block 8 for wrapping and fixing the shielding layer 9. The filling block 8 abuts against the outer end of the shielding layer 9 and the inner side of the inner sheath 7.

[0042] In this design, the inner side of the outer sheath 1 is provided with a steel strip layer 6, and the inner side of the steel strip layer 6 is provided with multiple anti-tensile wires 5 arranged in a ring at equal intervals. The anti-tensile wires 5 are made of materials such as steel wire or high-strength fiber rope. The steel strip layer 6 is wound around the outer end of the ring-shaped anti-tensile wires 5, and the winding method can be similar to wrapping rubber tape. Multiple installation components 4 are sleeved on the outer end of the anti-tensile wires 5. The multiple installation components 4 can be evenly distributed along the path of the anti-tensile wires 5. The installation components 4 are mainly used to restrict and fix the anti-tensile wires 5 to prevent them from shifting and getting tangled together.

[0043] The steel strip layer 6 provides a certain degree of compressive strength. When the cable is subjected to external compression, the steel strip layer 6 can provide resistance. The multiple tensile wires 5 set inside the steel strip layer 6 are used to increase the cable's tensile strength. When the cable is installed vertically, it needs to resist the tensile force generated by its own weight. The tensile wires 5 can improve its tensile strength. The tensile wires 5 and the steel strip layer 6 work together to improve the cable's compressive and tensile strength, thus enhancing its mechanical protection.

[0044] Inside the mounting assembly 4 and the tensile wire 5, there is an inner sheath 7, which is mainly used to isolate the conductive part of the cable from the mechanical protection part to prevent internal damage. Inside the inner sheath 7, there are three conductors 11, each of which is composed of multiple strands of copper or aluminum. The conductors 11 are surrounded by an insulation layer 10, which mainly protects the conductors 11 and isolates them from the outside.

[0045] The outer surface of the insulation layer 10 is covered with a shielding layer 9, which is made of copper and is used to suppress electromagnetic interference and radio frequency interference. According to the Faraday cage effect, the shielding layer 9 reflects external electromagnetic waves, preventing them from penetrating the inside of the cable, thereby improving the stability of the cable operation. The gap between the shielding layer 9 and the inner sheath 7 is filled with a filler block 8. The filler block 8 mainly serves to support and fix the shielding layer 9, preventing it from causing the conductor 11 to move inside the inner sheath 7, thereby improving the stability of the internal structure of the cable.

[0046] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 Both ends of the sleeve 21 are fixedly connected to connecting plates 22. The outer end of the connecting plate 22 is provided with an external protrusion 23. An anti-vibration pad 25 is installed on the inner side of the sleeve 21. The outer surface of the anti-vibration pad 25 is provided with equally spaced through holes 26 to reduce weight.

[0047] The connecting assembly 3 includes two connecting clamps 31. The inner side of each connecting clamp 31 is provided with an inner groove 32 that matches the outer protrusion 23. The connecting clamp 31 is sleeved on the outer surface of the connecting plate 22 through the inner groove 32.

[0048] The two ends of the connecting clamp 31 are respectively fixedly connected with the insert block 33 and the locking block 34. The insert block 33 and the locking block 34 are adapted to each other, and the two connecting clamps 31 are connected end to end through the insert block 33 and the locking block 34.

[0049] In this design, the sleeve 21 is semi-cylindrical, and two sleeves 21 can be combined to form a complete cylinder. Connecting plates 22 are fixed at both ends of each sleeve 21. The connecting plates 22 are semi-circular rings that fit the sleeve 21. Multiple equidistant anti-scratch rings 24 are fixed on the outer surface of the sleeve 21. The anti-scratch rings 24 are made of hard and wear-resistant engineering plastic, such as polyamide or polyurethane. The sleeve 21 is higher than the surface of the outer sheath 1, and the anti-scratch rings 24 are higher than the surface of the sleeve 21. When the cable is dragged on the ground, the anti-scratch rings 24 will come into contact with the ground and rub against it, which can protect the outer sheath 1 and prevent it from being damaged and exposing the steel strip layer 6. Thus, the cable can be protected during construction and laying.

[0050] An anti-vibration pad 25 is filled inside the sleeve 21. The anti-vibration pad 25 is located between the sleeve 21 and the outer sheath 1, and its two sides abut against the sleeve 21 and the outer sheath 1 respectively. The anti-vibration pad 25 can be made of rigid foam material. The outer end of the anti-vibration pad 25 is also provided with evenly distributed through holes 26, which not only reduces weight, but also reduces the amount of material used and saves costs. The anti-vibration pad 25 is filled between the sleeve 21 and the outer sheath 1, mainly to play a buffering role. When the cable falls from a height, the anti-scratch component 2 will contact the ground first. At this time, the anti-vibration pad 25 can buffer the impact force on the sleeve 21, thereby protecting the sleeve 21.

[0051] The outwardly protruding groove 23 on the connecting plate 22 protrudes outwards. The connecting component 3 mainly consists of two connecting clamps 31, which are also semi-circular rings. However, an inner groove 32 is formed on the inner side of the connecting clamp 31. The inner groove 32 matches the outwardly protruding groove 23. When the connecting clamp 31 covers the outwardly protruding groove 23, the inner groove 32 can fit with it. At both ends of the connecting clamp 31, a plug 33 and a locking block 34 are fixed respectively. The plug 33 and the locking block 34 are matched. By connecting the two connecting clamps 31 end to end, the plug 33 can be inserted into the locking block 34. The locking block 34 is provided with a threaded hole. The plug 33 and the locking block 34 can be connected together by using screws. At this time, the upper and lower ends of the anti-scratch component 2 are fixed at the same time by the connecting component 3, and the anti-scratch component 2 can be fixed.

[0052] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4 The mounting component 4 includes a mounting ring 41, an annular groove 42 is formed on the outer surface of the mounting ring 41, a steel ring 43 is installed inside the annular groove 42, and an annularly distributed mounting groove 44 is formed on the inner side of the mounting ring 41. The tensile wire 5 is installed inside the mounting groove 44.

[0053] The mounting component 4 in this scheme is mainly used to install multiple tensile wires 5. An annularly distributed mounting groove 44 is opened on the inner side of the mounting ring 41. The tensile wires 5 can be locked in place by the mounting groove 44, thereby constraining them to be surrounded by the inner sheath 7. The number of mounting components 4 can be adjusted according to the length of the tensile wires 5.

[0054] An annular groove 42 is formed around the mounting ring 41, and a steel ring 43 is installed inside the annular groove 42. The steel ring 43 has a compressive strength function. When the steel strip layer 6 is compressed, the steel ring 43 supports the inner side of the steel strip layer 6, which can improve the compressive strength of the steel strip layer 6 and make it less prone to large deformation.

[0055] Working principle: When the cable is being laid and dragged, the sleeve 21 is higher than the surface of the outer sheath 1, and the anti-scratching ring 24 is higher than the surface of the sleeve 21. The anti-scratching ring 24 will rub against the ground, which can protect the outer sheath 1. The steel strip layer 6 can provide a certain compressive strength, while the multiple tensile wires 5 set inside the steel strip layer 6 are used to increase the tensile strength of the cable. The tensile strength can be improved by the tensile wires 5. The tensile wires 5 and the steel strip layer 6 work together to improve the compressive and tensile strength of the cable and improve mechanical protection.
