The invention relates to the technical field of
optical fiber cables, in particular to a
railway signal cable with an
optical fiber strain and
humidity sensing function, which sequentially comprises a cable core, a heat
insulation layer, an aluminum sheath, a lining layer, an armor layer and an outer sheath from inside to outside, and is characterized in that two DDS strain sensing optical cables are arranged in the cable core or between the aluminum sheath and the lining layer; a DHS
humidity sensing optical cable is arranged in the cable core, the DDS strain sensing optical cable is utilized,
Brillouin scattering is utilized, a BOTDR distributed
optical fiber sensing instrument is adopted, and optical
fiber deformation caused by cable construction non-standard digging breakage or crushing deformation, cable sheath and armor abrasion, mouse
biting breakage, theft sawing breakage and the like is sensed; and secondly, through the DHS
humidity sensing optical cable, the stress effect on the optical
fiber caused by water swelling of the sensing water-blocking material is sensed, so that the conditions of cable stress, sheath water inflow or dampness can be continuously monitored in real time, early warning can be performed in advance, and hidden dangers of the cable can be eliminated, thereby eliminating
insulation resistance faults and ensuring the safety and reliability of the
railway signal cable in long-term use.
