Description

Optical cable stripping device, optical cable stripping method using the same, and package including optical cable and stripping device thereof

[0001] The present invention relates to an optical cable stripping device, an optical cable stripping method using the same, and a package including the optical cable and the stripping device thereof. Specifically, the present invention relates to an optical cable stripping device capable of easily and precisely stripping optical cables having various shapes without damaging the internal optical fibers during stripping for optical cable installation, an optical cable stripping method using the same, and a package including the optical cable and the stripping device thereof.

[0002] In general, an optical cable is formed by a structure in which a plurality of optical fibers including a core and a cladding layer are entirely wrapped by a tough and hard jacket to protect one or more optical units housed within a tube from the outside. However, when installing an optical cable, the optical cable must be stripped in order to connect the optical fibers, so the tough and hard jacket must be partially stripped.

[0003] However, since the jacket is made of a very tough and hard material, a rip cord is inserted inside the jacket of the optical cable to make it easier to strip the optical cable, and the worker partially tears the jacket of the optical cable by pulling the rip cord by hand to strip the optical cable.

[0004] However, there is a problem that the worker must expose the ripcord inside the jacket to pull the ripcord, and if a jacket cutting tool is used for this purpose, there is a possibility that the optical fibers inside the optical cable may be damaged, and the worker must exert great force to pull the ripcord, causing pain in the pulling fingers, and thus there is a great risk of injury.

[0045] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described herein and may be embodied in other forms. Rather, the embodiments introduced herein are provided to ensure that the disclosure is thorough and complete, and to sufficiently convey the spirit of the present invention to those skilled in the art. Like reference numbers designate like elements throughout the specification.

[0046] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of an optical cable stripping device according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view of the optical cable stripping device illustrated in FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a side view of the optical cable stripping device illustrated in FIG. 1, and FIG. 4 is a front view of the optical cable stripping device illustrated in FIG. 1.

[0047] An optical cable stripping device (200) according to the present invention includes a main body (210) and a tilting part (220) connected to the main body (210), and the tilting part (220) is capable of tilting at an angle adjusted with respect to the ground. The main body (210) and the tilting part (220) may each be independently made of a metal material such as steel, stainless steel, aluminum, or a plastic material.

[0048] Specifically, the main body (210) may include a handle (211) that a worker can hold to operate the optical cable stripping device (200), a head (212) provided at one end of the handle (211) and to which the tilting part (220) is connected, a prevention part (213) provided at the other end of the handle (211) and used to prevent the worker's hand from being unintentionally separated from the handle (211), etc.

[0049] In addition, the head (212) is provided with a fastener (214) for connecting the tilting part (220), and the fastener (214) may be, for example, a bolt, and the tilting part (220) can rotate around the fastener (214) as a rotation axis, thereby allowing for adjustment of the inclination angle with respect to the ground.

[0050]

[0051] *In addition, the head (212) may be additionally provided with an angle adjusting member (215) to limit the rotation radius of the tilting member (220) that rotates around the fastening member (214), i.e., the inclination angle based on the ground. Here, the angle adjusting member (215) is arranged to protrude in the direction of the tilting member (220) around the fastening member (214), for example, to perform the function of preventing the tilting member (220) from rotating any further beyond a certain level.

[0052] FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of the tilting part of the optical cable stripping device illustrated in FIG. 1 from various angles, FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA' of the tilting part illustrated in FIG. 5, FIG. 7 is a schematic illustration of stripping an optical cable jacket using the optical cable stripping device illustrated in FIG. 1, and FIG. 8 is an illustration of another embodiment of a cutting part in the tilting part illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6.

[0053] As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the tilting portion (220) has a cutting portion (221) and a guide portion (222) arranged to face each other, and a blade (221c) for partially cutting and peeling an optical cable jacket is formed at the end of the cutting portion (221), while the guide portion (222) is provided with an insertion groove (222a) into which the optical cable jacket is at least partially inserted in the thickness direction. In addition, the cutting portion (221) is provided with an outlet (223) between the cutting portion (221) and the guide portion (222) through which jacket material removed when stripping the optical cable is discharged.

[0054] Here, the bottom surface of the cutting portion (221) and the bottom surface of the guide portion (222) can be arranged parallel while maintaining a step (T) in the thickness direction. That is, the bottom surface of the cutting portion (221) is arranged parallel to a position higher than the bottom surface of the guide portion (222) in the thickness direction by the step (T), so that the cutting portion (221) can cut and peel the jacket of the optical cable to a constant thickness by the step (T) while the guide portion (222) is in close contact with the jacket of the optical cable in parallel.

[0055] As illustrated in FIG. 7, the operator can bring the tilting portion (220) of the optical cable stripping device (200) according to the present invention into close contact with the portion of the jacket that needs to be cut and peeled. In this case, the optical cable jacket is at least partially inserted into the insertion groove (222a) provided in the guide portion (222) of the tilting portion (220), so that the blade (221c) provided in the cutting portion (221) of the tilting portion (220) naturally comes into contact with the portion of the jacket that needs to be cut.

[0056] Here, in order to perform the stripping work easily depending on the stripping work environment of the optical cable and the stripping worker, the main body (210) can be tilted at an optimal angle with respect to the tilting part (220) to efficiently transmit the force for cutting and stripping the jacket while keeping the tilting part (220) in close contact with the jacket of the optical cable.

[0057] In addition, the insertion groove (222a) may be formed by guide jaws (224) provided on both sides of the tilting portion (220). The guide jaws (224) may prevent the cutting portion (221) of the tilting portion (220) from moving rapidly in the diameter direction of the optical cable jacket when cutting and peeling the optical cable jacket through the stripping device (200), thereby guiding the cutting portion to be formed parallel to the longitudinal direction of the optical cable.

[0058] In addition, the cutting portion (221), the guide portion (222), and the guide jaw (224) of the tilting portion (220) may be strongly combined or formed as an integral body so that their relative positions do not change. If the cutting portion (221), the guide portion (222), and the guide jaw (224) are individually tilted or deformed so that their relative positions change, the depth, width, and position of the insertion groove (222a) provided in the guide portion (222) may change, and thus the cutting depth of the optical cable jacket may be unintentionally changed, which may result in the optical cable jacket not being peeled off as deeply as desired or the jacket being cut to an excessive depth, which may cause damage to the internal optical fiber. In addition, since the cutting portion (221) may not be prevented from moving rapidly in the diametric direction of the optical cable jacket, cutting and peeling of the optical cable jacket may not be possible at the desired position.

[0059] Meanwhile, as illustrated in FIG. 8, the cutting portion (221) of the tilting portion (220) may have a surface that comes into contact with the jacket of the optical cable at least partially sunken, for example, in a 'V' shape, so as to stably fix the position of the jacket portion during the cutting and peeling of the jacket of the optical cable. That is, since the cross-section of the optical cable is circular, the surface of the jacket that comes into contact with the cutting portion (221) is curved, so that during the cutting and peeling of the jacket of the optical cable, the removed position of the jacket may not be maintained constant in the longitudinal direction of the optical cable, but may move in the diametric direction regardless of the intention of the worker.

[0060] Accordingly, when the cutting portion (221) of the tilting portion (220) comes into contact with the jacket of the optical cable, the surface is allowed to sink in a 'V' shape, so that the jacket material of the optical cable to be removed in a 'V' shape is settled in the sinking portion, thereby suppressing the position of the removed jacket portion from moving in the diameter direction of the optical cable during the work of cutting and peeling the jacket of the optical cable, thereby maintaining it constant in the longitudinal direction of the optical cable, so that the intended work can be stably performed.

[0061] Here, the cut portion (221) sunken in a 'V' shape may include a first cut portion (221a) and a second cut portion (221b) that are symmetrically arranged and inclined at the same angle, and at this time, the inclined angles of the first cut portion (221a) and the second cut portion (221b) may be 5º to 70º. If the inclined angles of the first cut portion (221a) and the second cut portion (221b) are less than 5º, a problem may occur in which the removed position of the jacket moves in the diameter direction of the optical cable regardless of the intention of the worker during the process of cutting and peeling the jacket of the optical cable, and if they are greater than 70º, the cut and peeled width of the jacket of the optical cable may be narrow, making it difficult to eject components such as optical fibers or optical units from inside the jacket.

[0062] When the worker pulls the optical cable stripping device (200) in this state, the blade partially cuts and peels the optical cable jacket, and the cut jacket material is discharged through the discharge port (223) provided between the cutting section (221) and the guide section (222).

[0063] In particular, even when the optical cable is laid in a curved shape depending on the laying environment, the tilting part (220) can be tilted at a certain angle with respect to the ground by rotating based on the fastener (214), so that even when a worker pulls the tilting part (220) in a state of being in close contact with the curved optical cable jacket surface, the close contact between the tilting part (220) and the optical cable jacket surface can be maintained, enabling precise cutting and peeling of the optical cable jacket.

[0064] In addition, the optical cable stripping device (200) according to the present invention can adjust the cutting depth of the optical cable jacket by selectively replacing and applying a tilting part (220) having a different depth of insertion groove (222a) provided in the guide part (222).

[0065] Therefore, the optical cable stripping device (200) according to the present invention can exhibit an excellent effect of easily and precisely stripping optical cables having various shapes without damaging the internal optical fibers during stripping for optical cable installation with the structure and function described above.

[0066] The present invention relates to an optical cable package including the optical cable stripping device described above and an optical cable to be stripped by partially cutting and removing the jacket using the same.

[0067] FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view of one embodiment of an optical cable constituting an optical cable package according to the present invention.

[0068] As illustrated in FIG. 9, the optical cable (100) may include a central tension line (1) arranged in the center; a core (C) including at least one optical unit (10) arranged around the central tension line (1) and having a plurality of optical fibers (11) and a collection means (20) for collecting or accommodating the plurality of optical fibers (11); a collection member (50) such as a binding tape for collecting the plurality of optical units (10); a jacket (80) wrapping the core (C); one or more reinforcing members (70) embedded in the jacket (80) for reinforcing rigidity; and at least one jacket stripping channel (CH) continuously formed along the length direction of the cable in a shape in which the thickness decreases in the radial direction of the jacket (80) on the inner surface of the jacket (80).

[0069] Here, the plurality of optical fibers (11) can be collected or received by the collecting means (20) in the shape of an optical fiber ribbon (15) in which at least some of adjacent optical fibers arranged in parallel in the longitudinal direction are connected by a coupling portion, and the optical fiber ribbon (15) can be a rollable optical fiber ribbon in which the coupling portion is formed so that it can be easily bent in the width direction of the ribbon.

[0070] In particular, the jacket stripping channel (CH) may be formed continuously along the length direction of the optical cable on the inner surface of the jacket (80) so that the core is exposed without being damaged when the jacket is removed. Accordingly, when the outer surface of the jacket of the optical cable is circular, the jacket stripping channel (CH) may be formed in a shape in which the thickness of the jacket (80) decreases in the radial direction on the inner surface of the jacket (80).

[0071] In addition, a rip cord (60) mounted inside the jacket stripping channel (CH) may be additionally provided, and the rip cord (60) may be continuously arranged in the longitudinal direction of the optical cable along the jacket stripping channel (CH). Since the conventional rip cord is provided in a form embedded inside the jacket, a great deal of force is required to pull it, and problems such as the rip cord breaking may also occur.

[0072] Meanwhile, since the ripcord (60) provided in the present invention is mounted in the empty space of the jacket stripping channel (CH), only a part of the jacket (80) where the jacket stripping channel (CH) is located is removed, and the ripcord (60) is exposed so that the jacket (80) can be torn and separated with relatively little force using the ripcord (60).

[0073] Furthermore, identification means (P) such as stripes or protrusions that can identify the positions of the jacket stripping channel (CH) and the rip cord (60) provided therein may be additionally provided on the outer surface of the jacket (80). By using such identification means (P), trial and error in finding the positions of the jacket stripping channel (CH) and the rip cord (60) can be reduced, thereby greatly improving the workability of the jacket (80) stripping process.

[0074] In order to expose the core (C) of the optical cable during a connection process with another optical fiber, such as a mid-span access, the multi-core optical cable must strip the jacket (80) by a predetermined length. The optical cable is provided with a jacket stripping channel (CH) on the inner surface of the jacket (80) and a rip cord (60) mounted therein, thereby facilitating the stripping of the jacket (80) and preventing damage to the core (C) by the optical cable stripping device.

[0075] The present invention relates to an optical cable stripping method using the optical cable stripping device described above.

[0076] Figure 10 is a flow chart of one embodiment of an optical cable stripping method using an optical cable stripping device according to the present invention.

[0077] As illustrated in FIG. 10, the optical cable stripping method according to the present invention may include a step of selecting an appropriate tilting part (220) according to the thickness of the jacket to be cut among the tilting parts (220) having various depths of insertion grooves (222a) in the optical cable stripping device (200) and connecting the tilting part (220) to the main body (210), a step of identifying a portion of the optical cable (100) where the jacket (80) is to be cut, a step of placing the jacket (80) in the insertion groove (222a) of the guide part (222) of the tilting part (220) so as to bring the blade (221c) into contact with the portion of the jacket (80) to be cut, and a step of pulling the main body (210) toward the operator using the handle (211) to partially cut and peel the jacket (80).

[0078] Here, the worker identifies the location of the jacket stripping channel (CH) using the identification means (P) of the optical cable (100), partially cuts and peels the jacket (80) at the location of the jacket stripping channel (CH), and then pulls the rip cord (60) installed in the empty space inside the jacket stripping channel (CH) to easily tear and separate the jacket (80) with little force.

[0079] While this specification has described preferred embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the claims below. Therefore, any modified implementation that fundamentally includes the elements of the claims should be considered within the technical scope of the present invention.
