In addition, as long as technical characteristic involved in the various embodiments of the present invention described below is each other not
Constituting conflict can be combined with each other.
Embodiment 1:
Currently, tight sleeve layer generally use the materials such as TPEE (thermoplastic polyester elastomer) or PA12 (nylon 12) make and
At, it is stronger to the adhesion strength of optical fiber surface due to the self character of the materials such as TPEE and PA12, need biggish dynamics to strip tightly
Jacket layer causes certain difficulty to reprocessing, moreover, being easily damaged optical fiber ontology in strip, influencing properties of product.
To solve foregoing problems, the present embodiment provides a kind of tight tube fibers to illustrate this reality below with reference to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2
Apply one of the achievable mode of the tight tube fiber of example.Wherein, the positional relationship between different layers is shown in Fig. 1, it is right
Tight tube fiber is partially stripped.
The tight tube fiber of the present embodiment includes: optical fiber ontology 1, separating layer 2 and tight sleeve layer 3, wherein the separating layer 2
The periphery of the separating layer 2 is arranged in surface coated in the optical fiber ontology 1, the tight sleeve layer 3.Wherein, the tight sleeve layer 3
Constituent include thermoplastic polyester elastomer and/or nylon or other materials, be not specifically limited herein.In reality
Under application scenarios, the separating layer 2 for being spaced the optical fiber ontology 1 and the tight sleeve layer 3, to avoid the tight sleeve layer 3 with
It is mutually adhered between the optical fiber ontology 1.
Specifically, the optical fiber ontology 1 includes fibre core 11, covering 12 and coat 13, and the covering 12 is arranged in institute
The periphery of fibre core 11 is stated, the periphery of the covering 12 is arranged in the coat 13, and the separating layer 2 is coated in the coat
13 surface.
In practical stripping process, since tight tube fiber includes separating layer 2, which is made of special material,
Separating layer 2 serves as release agent and lubricant between optical fiber ontology 1 and tight sleeve layer 3, so that tight sleeve layer 3 is relative to optical fiber ontology 1
Easily separated and sliding, reduces peel force, can effectively solve the problem that tight sleeve layer 3 is difficult to the technical issues of removing.
There is also some manufacturers at present, increase by an interlayer interlayer between tight sleeve layer 3 and optical fiber ontology 1, can reduce stripping
From dynamics, for example, diameter is the optical fiber of 0.25mm, diameter reaches 0.4mm after interval between coating layer, and re-coating tight sleeve layer 3 reaches
0.9mm (thickness of tight sleeve layer 3 is only 0.25mm or so).But, such scheme be with sacrifice the thickness of tight sleeve layer 3 exchange for it is smaller
Peel force be easy to strip tight sleeve layer 3 although in subsequent strip, peel force is reduced, due to tight sleeve layer 3
Thickness it is smaller, the wear resistance and tensile property of tight tube fiber are declined, reduce the reliability of tight tube fiber,
Reduce the service life of tight tube fiber.
By largely studying and testing, inventor's discovery is when using polybutadiene acrylic acid copolymer production separating layer
When 2, relatively thin separating layer 2 only need to be made, is equally reached the effect for reducing peel force.Therefore, certain in product diameter
In the case where, although increasing separating layer 2, the thickness of subsequent tight sleeve layer 3 will not be influenced, not only can reduce peel force,
And can guarantee the wear resistance and tensile property of tight tube fiber, the reliability of tight tube fiber is improved, is extended tight
The service life of unjacketed optical fiber.
Under practical application scene, the constituent of the separating layer 2 includes polybutadiene acrylic acid copolymer, such as Fig. 2,
The thickness d 1 of the separating layer 2 is 0.002mm~0.004mm, thickness very little.The optical fiber ontology for being 0.25mm for diameter (2r)
1, after coating separating layer 2, fibre diameter is 0.254mm~0.258mm.Under practical application scene, the thickness of tight tube fiber
Generally 0.85mm~0.95mm, then as can be seen that even if increasing separating layer 2, the thickness d 2 of tight sleeve layer 3 can equally reach compared with
Thick thickness, for example, the thickness d 2 of tight sleeve layer 3 is 0.321mm~0.323mm, phase when tight tube fiber is with a thickness of 0.9mm
For (0.25mm) tight sleeve layer 3 of thickness above-mentioned, thickness increases 28.4%~29.2%, and tight tube fiber can be effectively ensured
Wear resistance and tensile property, improve the reliability of tight tube fiber, extend the service life of tight tube fiber.
Illustrate below based on test data, the peel force size of the tight tube fiber of the present embodiment.
As shown in figure 3, being shelled using tight tube fiber of the identical test condition to the present embodiment with common tight tube fiber
Test process and test result from strength:
Firstly, it is (0.80~0.90) mm ± 0.05mm tight tube fiber that test sample, which selects outer diameter, test sample is divided into
Two groups, first group is common tight tube fiber, and second group is tight tube fiber of the present invention, and every group of 10 test samples, strip length is
15mm ± 2mm, detachment rate 10mm/min.Then, peeling force test, 10 surveys are carried out referring to the requirement in GB/T15972.32
In test agent, respectively through 5 peel tests.
Test result are as follows: the peeling force size of second group of tight tube fiber is 3.8N~4.2N, the stripping of first group of tight tube fiber
From power size between 20N~25N.
It can be seen that the peeling force of the tight tube fiber of the present embodiment is much smaller than the peeling force of common tight tube fiber, not only may be used
To reduce the difficulty of the removing of tight sleeve layer 3, the efficiency that tight sleeve layer 3 is removed is improved;Meanwhile in strip, peel force is smaller,
It is possible to prevente effectively from damage optical fiber ontology 1, enhances product performance.
Be different from the prior art, tight tube fiber of the invention includes separating layer 2, the separating layer 2 setting optical fiber ontology 1 with
Between tight sleeve layer 3, separating layer 2 is made using special material, which serves as between optical fiber ontology 1 and tight sleeve layer 3
Release agent and lubricant can effectively solve the problem that tight sleeve layer 3 is difficult to so that tight sleeve layer 3 is easily separated relative to optical fiber ontology 1 and slides
The technical issues of removing.
Further, the thickness of separating layer 2 of the invention is smaller, will not influence the thickness of tight sleeve layer 3, it is ensured that fixed
The wear resistance and tensile property of optical fiber, improve the reliability of tight tube fiber, extend the service life of tight tube fiber.
