DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] Example

[0026] The present invention provides a data cable for transmitting data on a locomotive. Referring to Figures 1-4 , the cable comprises a data transmission core 100, an inner protective layer 200 disposed on the outer side of the data transmission core 100, a buffer layer 300 disposed on the outer side of the inner protective layer 200, an outer protective layer 400 disposed on the outer side of the buffer layer 300, and a protective sheath 500 disposed on the outer side of the outer protective layer 400. When the data cable is in use, the buffer layer 300 mitigates any impact on the data transmission core 100 during swinging near the end connection.

[0027] Specifically, the data transmission core 100 includes a first conductor core 110 at the center, which is wrapped with a first insulation layer 120. A plurality of second conductor cores 130 are arranged at intervals around the circumference of the first conductor core 110, and a second insulation layer 140 is arranged on the outside of each second conductor core 130.

[0028] The first and second insulating layers 120 and 140 are wrapped with a shielding sleeve 150. The shielding sleeve 150 includes an inner shielding layer 151 wrapped around the outer sides of the second insulating layers 140, shielding partitions 152 positioned between adjacent second insulating layers 140, and an outer shielding layer 153 positioned around the periphery of all second insulating layers 140. The shielding partitions 152 are connected to the inner shielding layer 151 at one end and to the outer shielding layer 153 at the other end. The shielding sleeve 150 shields each first and second conductor cores 110 and 130 to prevent mutual interference.

[0029] The buffer layer 300 includes an elastic barrier layer 310 positioned between the inner protective layer 200 and the outer protective layer 400. A plurality of inner support bars 320 are arranged at equal angles on a side of the elastic barrier layer 310 adjacent to the inner protective layer 200. A plurality of outer support bars 330 are arranged at equal angles on a side of the elastic barrier layer 310 adjacent to the outer protective layer 400. The lengths of the inner and outer support bars 320 and 330 are parallel to the length of the data transmission core 100.

[0030] The inner support bars 320 and outer support bars 330 are staggered and arranged on both sides of the elastic barrier 310. An outer buffer cavity 340 is formed between the multiple outer support bars 330, and an inner buffer cavity 350 is formed between the multiple inner support bars 320. The staggered arrangement of the inner and outer support bars 320, 330, and the resulting inner and outer buffer cavities 350 and 340, ensures that when the data cable swings, the inner support bars 320 are pressed toward the outer buffer cavities 340, while the outer support bars 330 are pressed toward the inner buffer cavities 350, thereby achieving a buffering effect.

[0031] Limiting grooves 510 are provided at intervals on the outside of the protective cover 500 , and a plurality of limiting grooves 510 are provided at intervals along the length direction; a buffer assembly 600 is detachably connected to the outside of the limiting groove 510 , and the buffer assembly 600 is connected to the locomotive.

[0032] The buffer assembly 600 includes a support plate 610 . A communication hole 611 is defined in the middle of the support plate 610 . The diameter of the communication hole 611 is larger than the outer diameter of the protective cover 500 .

[0033] Buffer covers 620 are formed on both sides of the support plate 610 . The buffer covers 620 are made of elastic material, and one end of the buffer cover 620 away from the support plate 610 is connected to the protective cover 500 .

[0034] The buffer cover 620 is truncated cone-shaped, with a connecting hole 621 and a mounting opening 622 formed at both ends of the buffer cover 620 in the axial direction. The connecting hole 621 has a smaller diameter, and the mounting opening 622 has a larger diameter.

[0035] A fixing sleeve 630 is provided in the connection hole 621. The fixing sleeve 630 is located inside the buffer cover 620. One end of the fixing sleeve 630 is fixedly connected to the connection hole 621. The fixing sleeve 630 is sleeved in the limiting groove 510. The fixing sleeve 630 is made of elastic material.

[0036] A plurality of elastic bands 640 are spaced apart on the outer side of the fixing sleeve 630 and at one end away from the connecting hole 621 , and the other end of the elastic bands 640 is connected to the inner wall of the buffer cover 620 .

[0037] A mounting ring 650 is integrally formed at one end of the buffer cover 620 close to the support plate 610 . A locking bolt is provided on the mounting ring 650 , and the locking bolt is threadedly connected to the support plate 610 .

[0038] Through the above-mentioned arrangement, during operation, when the end of the data cable close to the installation position swings due to external factors such as speed and vibration force, the buffer cover 620 will swing first. During the swinging process, due to the elastic setting of the buffer cover 620 and the setting of the elastic band 640, the swing amplitude of the data cable itself will be greatly reduced, which will have a buffering effect, thereby avoiding cracking of the data cable and improving the stability and service life of the data cable.
