A wear-resistant silicon core tube for communication

Abstract

This utility model belongs to the field of silicon core tube technology, and in particular to a wear-resistant silicon core tube for communication. It includes a silicon core layer, and a repair layer is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the silicon core layer. The repair layer includes a first repair ring and a second repair ring. The first repair ring is composed of a plastic film containing liquid wax, and the second repair ring is composed of a plastic film wrapped with microcrystalline wax. Multiple first and second repair rings are alternately distributed to form the repair layer. This wear-resistant silicon core tube for communication, by installing the repair layer between the outer surface of the silicon core layer and the inner wall of the protective layer, utilizes the design of the first and second repair rings. When the silicon core tube is worn, the high temperature generated by friction dissolves the wax in the first and second repair rings and causes it to seep out through the damaged area. Then, through interaction with the silicone in the catalyst layer, it solidifies and seals, preventing liquid from entering the silicon core layer. This provides a convenient wear-resistant sealing protection for the silicon core tube.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of silicon core tube technology, and in particular to a wear-resistant silicon core tube for communication. Background Technology

[0002] The high-life, wear-resistant silicon core tube disclosed on the Chinese patent website (application number: 201320428978.9) solves the technical problem that existing silicon core tubes, lacking special internal treatment, generate significant friction with the insulating jacket of optical cables during insertion, removal, and dragging, resulting in substantial wear and tear on both the tube and the cable. However, the following issues still exist:

[0003] In actual use, after the outer protective layer is worn away, the inner wall of the silicon core tube is easily corroded and penetrated, exposing it to the environment and increasing the chance of contact with air, moisture and chemicals. Corrosion will cause oxidation reactions of metals or other materials, forming rust or other harmful substances, thereby reducing the mechanical strength and durability of the silicon core tube. When moisture seeps in, especially when moisture reacts with corrosion products, it may cause short circuits or damage to electrical conductors or other important components inside the tube, or even cause equipment failure or fire hazards, resulting in unstable equipment operation and affecting overall safety and reliability. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the technical problem that existing silicon core tubes for communication are not easy to seal and protect, this utility model proposes a wear-resistant silicon core tube for communication.

[0005] This utility model proposes a wear-resistant silicon core tube for communication, which includes a silicon core layer. A repair layer is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the silicon core layer. The repair layer includes a first repair ring and a second repair ring. The first repair ring is composed of a plastic film including liquid wax, and the second repair ring is composed of a plastic film wrapped with microcrystalline wax. Multiple first repair rings and second repair rings are distributed alternately to form a repair layer.

[0006] Microcrystalline wax is relatively hard and has a high solidification point, making it suitable for lubrication in high-temperature environments. Liquid wax, on the other hand, is more suitable for use at room temperature. Depending on the actual usage conditions, the entire repair layer can be replaced with either the first or second repair ring, and the first and second repair rings can be distributed alternately. This method is suitable for various environmental conditions, but the repair effect is relatively reduced.

[0007] The above technical solution utilizes modular liquid wax and microcrystalline wax, which are wrapped in multiple plastic films in a ring shape. This helps to prevent the liquid wax and microcrystalline wax from accumulating in one place and avoids a large amount of material waste when the repair layer is accidentally damaged or the silicon core tube is cut.

[0008] Preferably, a catalyst layer is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the repair layer, and the catalyst layer is made of silicone.

[0009] The above technical solution utilizes the surface energy of the silica gel in the catalyst layer, especially the large number of silicon-oxygen bonds on its microscopic surface. This allows the silica gel surface to adsorb liquids. Components in the wax liquid, such as alkanes or fatty acids, can combine with the silica gel surface through physical adsorption. As the wax liquid comes into contact with the silica gel surface, the molecules in the wax liquid may remain on the silica gel surface due to adsorption.

[0010] The surface of the silica gel in the catalyst layer can also be slightly mechanically roughened to increase surface roughness and provide more tiny surface contact points, which will enhance the adhesion of the wax liquid and allow it to penetrate and solidify better.

[0011] Preferably, a protective layer is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the repair layer, and the protective layer is made of high-density polyethylene base pipe.

[0012] The above technical solution utilizes a protective layer made of high-density polyethylene to wrap and protect the entire pipe body, thereby increasing its wear resistance.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] By installing a repair layer between the outer surface of the silicon core layer and the inner wall of the protective layer, and utilizing the design of the first and second repair rings in the repair layer, when the silicon core tube is worn, the high temperature generated by friction will dissolve the wax liquid in the first and second repair rings and allow it to seep out to the damaged area. Then, through interaction with the silicone in the catalyst layer, it will solidify and seal, preventing liquid from entering the silicon core layer. This gives it the characteristic of being easy to provide wear-resistant sealing protection for the silicon core tube. Attached Figure Description

[0019] 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.

[0020] Reference Figures 1-3 A wear-resistant silicon core tube for communication includes a silicon core layer 1. A repair layer 2 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the silicon core layer 1. The repair layer 2 includes a first repair ring 21 and a second repair ring 22. The first repair ring 21 is composed of a plastic film including liquid wax, and the second repair ring 22 is composed of a plastic film wrapped with microcrystalline wax. Multiple first repair rings 21 and second repair rings 22 are alternately distributed to form the repair layer 2.

[0021] Microcrystalline wax is relatively hard and has a high solidification point, making it suitable for lubrication in high-temperature environments. Liquid wax, on the other hand, is more suitable for use at room temperature. Depending on the actual usage conditions, the entire repair layer 2 can be replaced with either the first repair ring 21 or the second repair ring 22. Alternating the first repair ring 21 and the second repair ring 22 can be used in various environmental conditions, but the repair effect will be relatively reduced. By using liquid wax and microcrystalline wax in a modular manner, wrapped in multiple plastic films in a ring shape, it is easier to avoid the accumulation of liquid wax and microcrystalline wax in one place, as well as the waste of a lot of material when the repair layer 2 is accidentally damaged or the silicon core tube is cut.

[0022] To promote the solidification of the wax liquid, a catalyst layer 3 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the repair layer 2. The catalyst layer 3 is made of silicone. The silicone in the catalyst layer 3 has a certain surface energy, especially the large number of silicon-oxygen bonds on its microscopic surface. This allows the silicone surface to adsorb liquids. Components in the wax liquid, such as alkanes or fatty acids, can combine with the silicone surface through physical adsorption. As the wax liquid comes into contact with the silicone surface, the molecules in the wax liquid may remain on the silicone surface due to adsorption. The silicone surface in the catalyst layer 3 can also be slightly mechanically roughened to increase the surface roughness and provide more micro-surface contact points. This will enhance the adhesion of the wax liquid and allow it to penetrate and solidify better.

[0023] By installing a repair layer 2 between the outer surface of the silicon core layer 1 and the inner wall of the protective layer 4, and utilizing the design of the first repair ring 21 and the second repair ring 22 in the repair layer 2, when the silicon core tube is worn, the high temperature generated by friction will dissolve the wax liquid in the first repair ring 21 and the second repair ring 22 and let it seep out to the damaged area. Then, through interaction with the silicone of the catalyst layer 3, it will solidify and seal, preventing liquid from entering the silicon core layer 1. This gives it the characteristic of being easy to provide wear-resistant sealing protection for the silicon core tube.

[0024] A protective layer 4 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the repair layer 2. The protective layer 4 is made of high-density polyethylene base pipe. The protective layer 4 made of high-density polyethylene base pipe wraps and protects the entire pipe body, thereby increasing wear resistance.

[0025] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
