Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical cables, specifically a high-temperature resistant and pressure-resistant optical cable. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of fiber optic cable technology, fiber optic cables have been widely used in fields beyond communications, including military, power, engineering monitoring (sensing), petrochemical, and medical fields. Especially in some specialized fields, fiber optic cables are receiving increasing attention and favor due to their advantages such as large information transmission capacity and strong resistance to electromagnetic interference.
[0003] Utility model patent application number 2018220113538 discloses a high-temperature and pressure-resistant optical cable, comprising an outer sheath and a tightly packed fiber core. The tightly packed fiber core includes an optical communication unit, which is wrapped with mica tape. The tightly packed fiber core is housed within a stainless steel corrugated tube, and the stainless steel corrugated tube is covered by an outer sheath, which is a high-temperature resistant outer sheath. This utility model's PFA tightly packed optical fiber significantly enhances the high-temperature resistance of the optical fiber. Simultaneously, the tight-buffered fiber is covered with mica tape, which has fire-resistant, high-temperature resistant, and heat-insulating flame-retardant functions, further improving the high-temperature resistance of the tightly packed fiber core. The stainless steel corrugated tube allows the optical cable to withstand high temperatures while possessing excellent lateral pressure resistance and bending performance, capable of withstanding repeated bending. The outer sheath uses high-temperature resistant PEEK material, forming multi-layer thermal insulation, further enhancing the optical cable's high-temperature resistance. It can withstand temperatures up to 200℃, is suitable for long-term high-temperature conditions, and is suitable for working environments from -50℃ to 200℃, making it suitable for signal connection lines of testing instruments in high-temperature environments.
[0004] However, in practical applications, the optical cable has poor tensile and compressive strength, is prone to breakage causing signal loss, and is susceptible to external electromagnetic interference, so improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

A stainless steel braided mesh is provided on the outside of the stainless steel hose, and a Kevlar layer is provided between the stainless steel braided mesh and the stainless steel hose. An outer foaming layer is provided on the outside of the Kevlar layer.
[0008] The cable core includes a core body, an inner sheath is provided on the outside of the core body, and a coating layer is provided on the outside of the inner sheath.
[0009] Furthermore, the inner sheath is a silicone resin layer, and the coating layer is a PI coating.

[0017] 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.
[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, a high-temperature and pressure-resistant optical cable includes a cable core 1. The cable core 1 is provided with a mica tape heat insulation layer 2, a stainless steel flexible tube 3 and an outer sheath 4 from the inside to the outside. The outer sheath 4 is a PEEK sheath.
[0019] The cable core 1 includes a core body 1.1, an inner sheath 1.2 on the outside of the core body 1.1, a coating layer 1.3 on the outside of the inner sheath 1.2, the inner sheath 1.2 being a silicone resin layer, and the coating layer 1.3 being a PI coating. The cable core 1 is filled with photosensitive resin 9 on the inside of the mica tape heat insulation layer 2.
[0020] An inner foam layer 5 is provided between the mica tape insulation layer 2 and the stainless steel hose 3. A stainless steel braided mesh 6 is provided on the outside of the stainless steel hose 3, and a Kevlar layer 7 is provided between the stainless steel braided mesh 6 and the stainless steel hose 3. An outer foam layer 8 is provided on the outside of the Kevlar layer 7. The inner foam layer 5 is formed by extruding a blend of polypropylene and a foaming agent on the outside of the mica tape insulation layer 2. The outer foam layer 8 has the same design as the inner foam layer. The stainless steel hose 3 is located in the middle of the outer foam layer 8.
[0021] In practical applications, the PI coating enhances the high-temperature resistance of the cable core 1, while the mica tape winding forms the first thermal insulation barrier. Combined with the high-temperature resistant layer of photosensitive resin 9, it can withstand the impact of instantaneous high temperatures of 390°C. The stainless steel flexible tube 3 provides radial compressive protection while maintaining axial flexibility. The two foam layers enhance the compressive strength of the optical cable and also provide thermal insulation. The stainless steel braided mesh 6 effectively resists external tensile forces, preventing the optical cable from breaking due to stretching during installation or use. It also forms an effective shielding layer, preventing external electromagnetic fields from interfering with signal transmission within the optical cable. The stainless steel braided mesh 6 also effectively shields against radio frequency interference, ensuring the stability and reliability of the optical cable transmission. The Kevlar layer 7 increases the tensile strength of the optical cable to over 2000N and the compressive strength to 5000N / cm². 2 .
[0022] Testing revealed that the temperature resistance range of this new type of optical cable is extended to -60℃ to +260℃, and it can withstand the impact of instantaneous high temperature of 390℃. The short-term lateral pressure of the optical cable is 2000N / 100mm, and its compressive strength reaches 5000N / cm. 2 .
