Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of armored optical cable technology, specifically a multi-scenario adaptive armored optical cable. Background Technology

[0002] Armored optical cable is a type of optical cable with a protective "armor" wrapped around the fiber core. It has high mechanical strength and durability, and can withstand external pressure, tension and impact stress, providing better protection in harsh environmental conditions and preventing damage to the optical fiber.

[0003] To address the issue of rodent damage during outdoor armored fiber optic cable installation, existing publicly available technical solution CN222618845U discloses an outdoor anti-aging and rodent-resistant photovoltaic cable. This cable includes optical fibers clustered together, with cable wrapping tape wrapped around the outside of each fiber. The outer cable wrapping tape is filled with rodent and ant bait. This effectively prevents rodents and ants from gnawing on the photovoltaic cable, significantly extending its service life.

[0004] However, in the specific implementation of the above technical solution, the use of ant and rodenticides to prevent rodents from gnawing on photovoltaic cables can lead to health risks for construction and maintenance personnel if the cable is damaged during the laying, maintenance and replacement process. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of embodiments of the present invention and to briefly describe some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.

[0006] Given that existing armored optical cables rely on ant and rodenticides to prevent rodents from gnawing on photovoltaic cables, during the laying, maintenance, and replacement of optical cables, if the cable is damaged, the leak of the ant and rodenticides inside will increase health risks to construction and maintenance personnel.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A multi-scenario adaptive armored optical cable, characterized in that it includes:

[0009] The external protective component includes a PE protective sleeve, an outer water-blocking sleeve disposed inside the PE protective sleeve, a mesh strip disposed inside the outer water-blocking sleeve, and an aramid layer disposed inside the mesh strip, wherein the mesh strip is filled with capsaicin.

[0010] Internal optical cable assembly, including UV optical fiber located at the center.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a central reinforcing component is fixed inside the external protective component, the central reinforcing component including a first stainless steel reinforcing wire fixed to the inner side of the aramid layer, and a second stainless steel wire disposed inside the first stainless steel reinforcing wire.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model: an armored steel strip is sandwiched between the first stainless steel reinforcing wire and the second stainless steel wire, and an inner water-blocking sleeve is fixed to the inner side of the second stainless steel wire.

[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the first stainless steel reinforcing wire and the second stainless steel wire have a spiral structure, and the rotation directions of the first stainless steel reinforcing wire and the second stainless steel wire are opposite.

[0014] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the first stainless steel reinforcing wire and the second stainless steel wire are respectively arranged closely on the outer surface of the armored steel strip and the inner water-blocking sleeve.

[0015] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the internal optical cable assembly further includes a core filler disposed inside the inner water-blocking sleeve, a loose tube disposed inside the core filler, and optical fiber grease disposed inside the loose tube.

[0016] As a further improvement of this invention: the UV optical fiber penetrates the interior of the optical fiber grease.

[0017] As a further improvement of this utility model, multiple loose sleeves are provided and are evenly distributed at equal intervals along the center position of the core filler.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] 1. This utility model fills the inside of the mesh belt with capsaicin, which prevents rodents from continuing to gnaw on it. Even if the optical cable is damaged, the irritation to construction workers who come into contact with the capsaicin is lower than that of rodenticides.

[0020] 2. This utility model adds a central reinforcing component between the external protective component and the internal optical cable component. With the action of the first stainless steel reinforcing wire, the second stainless steel wire and the armored steel strip, the tensile strength and overall mechanical properties of the optical cable can be improved, enabling the optical cable to meet the needs of different scenarios and to be used normally even in harsh environments.

[0027] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more readily understood, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0029] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single embodiment or an embodiment selectively excluded from other embodiments.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a multi-scenario adaptive armored optical cable, comprising:

[0032] The external protective component 1 includes a PE protective sleeve 101, an outer water-blocking sleeve 102 disposed inside the PE protective sleeve 101, a mesh strip 103 disposed inside the outer water-blocking sleeve 102, and an aramid layer 104 disposed inside the mesh strip 103. The mesh strip 103 is filled with capsaicin.

[0033] The internal optical cable assembly 3 includes a UV optical fiber 304 located at the center.

[0034] Specifically, the internal optical cable assembly 3 also includes a core filler 301 disposed inside the inner water-blocking sleeve 204, a loose tube 302 disposed inside the core filler 301, and optical fiber grease 303 disposed inside the loose tube 302.

[0035] Furthermore, each loose tube 302 contains no fewer than two UV optical fibers 304.

[0036] Specifically, the UV optical fiber 304 penetrates the interior of the optical fiber grease 303.

[0037] Furthermore, the fiber optic grease 303 can prevent oxidation and corrosion of the UV fiber 304, thereby improving the applicability of the UV fiber 304.

[0038] Specifically, multiple loose sleeves 302 are provided and are evenly distributed at equal intervals along the center position of the core filler 301.

[0039] Furthermore, the core filler 301 is filled between the loose sleeve 302 and the inner water-blocking sleeve 204 to increase the flexibility of the cable.

[0040] During use, the optical cable is laid normally. Since the inside of the mesh tape 103 can be filled with capsaicin, which is highly irritating to rats, once the rats bite through the PE protective sleeve 101 and the outer water-blocking sleeve 102, when the rats lick the capsaicin, the capsaicin can strongly stimulate the oral mucosa and taste nerves of the rats, causing them to give up biting. The chemical properties of the pungent agent are relatively stable. Even if the optical cable is damaged, the irritation to the construction personnel who come into contact with the capsaicin is lower than that of rodenticides. The PE protective sleeve 101 and the outer water-blocking sleeve 102 can protect the internal UV optical fiber 304.

[0041] In summary, the multi-scenario adaptive armored optical cable uses capsaicin filled inside the mesh strip 103 to prevent rodents from continuing to gnaw on it. Even if the optical cable is damaged, the contact with capsaicin by construction workers is less irritating than that caused by rodenticides.

[0042] Example 2

[0043] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which provides an improved design for a multi-scenario adaptive armored optical cable.

[0044] Specifically, the outer protective component 1 has a central reinforcing component 2 fixed inside. The central reinforcing component 2 includes a first stainless steel reinforcing wire 201 fixed inside the aramid layer 104 and a second stainless steel wire 203 disposed inside the first stainless steel reinforcing wire 201.

[0045] Furthermore, the first stainless steel reinforcing wire 201 and the second stainless steel wire 203 can increase the overall strength of the optical cable.

[0046] Specifically, an armored steel strip 202 is sandwiched between the first stainless steel reinforcing wire 201 and the second stainless steel wire 203, and an inner water-blocking sleeve 204 is fixed to the inner side of the second stainless steel wire 203.

[0047] Furthermore, the armored steel belt 202 has high strength, which can further improve the rodent-proof effect.

[0048] Specifically, the first stainless steel reinforcing wire 201 and the second stainless steel wire 203 have a spiral structure, and the first stainless steel reinforcing wire 201 and the second stainless steel wire 203 rotate in opposite directions.

[0049] Furthermore, the first stainless steel reinforcing wire 201 and the second stainless steel wire 203, which are rotated in opposite directions, can increase the tensile strength and overall mechanical properties of the optical cable in various aspects.

[0050] Specifically, the first stainless steel reinforcing wire 201 and the second stainless steel wire 203 are respectively arranged closely on the outer surface of the armored steel strip 202 and the inner water-blocking sleeve 204.

[0051] Furthermore, the inner water-blocking sleeve 204 can provide good waterproofing, and even if the outermost outer water-blocking sleeve 102 is damaged, the inner water-blocking sleeve 204 can prevent water from entering.

[0052] In use, the optical cable is equipped with a first stainless steel reinforcing wire 201, an armored steel tape 202, a second stainless steel wire 203, and an inner water-blocking sleeve 204 on the inner side of the aramid layer 104. By setting the first stainless steel reinforcing wire 201 and the second stainless steel wire 203 with opposite directions of rotation, the tensile strength and overall mechanical properties of the optical cable can be increased in various aspects. At the same time, the armored steel tape 202 improves the anti-rodent effect of the optical cable, enabling the optical cable to meet the needs of use in different scenarios. It can be used normally even in harsh environments. Furthermore, the inner water-blocking sleeve 204 can provide a good waterproof effect. Even if the outermost water-blocking sleeve 102 is damaged, the inner water-blocking sleeve 204 can prevent water from entering.

[0053] In summary, by adding a central reinforcing component 2 between the external protective component 1 and the internal optical cable component 3, the tensile strength and overall mechanical properties of the optical cable can be improved by the action of the first stainless steel reinforcing wire 201, the second stainless steel wire 203 and the armored steel strip 202, enabling the optical cable to meet the needs of different scenarios and to be used normally even in harsh environments.
