Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical cable installation and protection technology, specifically an optical cable protection device for culverts in renovation and expansion projects. Background Technology

[0002] Optical fiber cables are manufactured to meet optical, mechanical, or environmental performance specifications. They are communication cable assemblies that use one or more optical fibers encased in a protective sheath as the transmission medium and can be used individually or in groups. Optical fiber cables are mainly composed of optical fibers (glass filaments as thin as a hair), a plastic protective sheath, and a plastic outer sheath. An optical fiber cable is a communication line that uses a certain number of optical fibers arranged in a specific way to form a cable core, encased in a sheath, and sometimes with an outer protective layer, to achieve optical signal transmission. The basic structure of an optical fiber cable generally consists of a cable core, reinforcing steel wires, filler, and a sheath. Additional components, such as a waterproof layer, a buffer layer, and insulated metal conductors, may be added as needed. During installation in culverts, optical fiber cables require special attention to moisture-proof and impact-proof protection.

[0003] A prior art patent application (application number 202221158358.3) describes an anti-bite underground communication optical cable, comprising an installation sleeve. Inside the installation sleeve are several rubber plates, and several plastic sleeves are fitted onto the rubber plates. Inside the plastic sleeves are several optical fibers, and the plastic sleeves contain filler. The installation sleeve has an insulation layer, and a soft rubber sheath is fitted onto the insulation layer. A protective mechanism is installed on the soft rubber sheath. This invention repels rats or reptiles when they gnaw on the optical cable, and provides good protection for the optical fibers inside the cable. However, the cable itself has poor impact resistance, and the protective shell has poor waterproofing and insulation. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a fiber optic cable protection device for culverts in renovation and expansion projects, so as to solve the problems of poor anti-collision protection effect of the fiber optic cable body and poor waterproof and heat insulation properties of the protective shell in the existing technology.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a fiber optic cable protection device for culverts in renovation and expansion projects, comprising a fiber optic cable body and a protective cover. The fiber optic cable body is fixed to the outer wall of the culvert wall by a mounting base and screws. The mounting base includes a positioning plate and mounting feet. The positioning plate has a snap-fit ​​rib on its outer side. The inner walls of both ends of the protective cover have snap-fit ​​grooves that cooperate with the snap-fit ​​ribs. The inner wall of the protective cover has a first sealing layer, and the inner wall of the snap-fit ​​groove has a second sealing layer. The protective cover has disassembly notches at both ends.

[0006] Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​rib is a semi-circular rib, and two sets of snap-fit ​​ribs are provided parallel to each other on the outer wall of the positioning piece.

[0007] Furthermore, the protective cover is an arc-shaped cover, and the left cross-sectional view of the arc-shaped cover is an inclined U-shape.

[0008] Furthermore, the mounting feet are fixedly welded to both sides of the positioning plate, and a mounting hole is provided inside one end of the mounting feet.

[0009] Furthermore, both the first and second sealing layers inside the protective cover are silicone rubber sealing layers, and the thickness of the first and second sealing layers is the same.

[0010] Furthermore, a reinforcing layer is provided in the middle of the protective cover, and the reinforcing layer is an alloy sheet.

[0011] Furthermore, the protective cover is provided with an insulation layer inside and a waterproof layer outside.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. This utility model utilizes the snap-fit ​​ribs on the outer side of the positioning plate of the mounting base, and the snap-fit ​​grooves at both ends of the protective cover to engage with the snap-fit ​​ribs on the outer side of the two adjacent mounting bases, thereby enabling the protective cover to be installed on the outside of the optical cable body for protection, preventing direct external collisions from damaging the optical cable body. At the same time, the protective cover has excellent sealing, waterproofing and heat insulation properties, improving the safety of the optical cable body when laid in culverts.

[0014] 2. This utility model uses a semi-circular snap-fit ​​rib, with two sets of snap-fit ​​ribs arranged parallel to each other on the outer wall of the positioning piece. The protective cover is an arc-shaped cover, and the left cross-section of the arc-shaped cover is an inclined U-shape. This makes the protective cover more stable when snapped and fixed by the snap-fit ​​groove and the snap-fit ​​rib, and makes it easy and quick to assemble and disassemble.

[0015] 3. This utility model also has a reinforcing layer in the middle of the protective cover, and the reinforcing layer is an alloy sheet, which increases the structural strength of the protective cover and makes it easier to improve the protective cover's resistance to compression and deformation.
