The greater the light transmittance of the recognition object 3, the smaller the attenuation of the visible ray transmitted within the recognition object 3, and thus the longer the transmission distance. The optical refractive index of the recognition body 3 is greater than that of the sheath layer 4, so that the visible light forms total reflection at the contact surface of the recognition body 3 and the sheath layer 4, the larger the difference between the optical refractive indexes of the recognition body 3 and the sheath layer 4 is, the larger the numerical aperture is, the larger the incident angle of the total reflection formed by the visible light is, and the stronger the capability of the end surface for receiving the visible light is.

According to the thickness and the color of the sheath layer 4, the identification body 3 is fully embedded in the sheath layer 4 and partially embedded in the sheath layer 4. The method specifically comprises the following steps: when the thickness of the sheath layer 4 is larger than 0.6mm or the color of the sheath layer 4 is dark, the identification body 3 is extruded to be of a transparent solid rod structure, the surface part of the identification body 3 is embedded in the sheath layer 4, the part of the identification body is exposed out of the sheath layer 4, and the surface area of the identification body 3 exposed out of the sheath layer 4 is smaller than 15% of the whole surface area of the identification body 3. When the thickness of restrictive coating 4 is less than 0.6mm or the colour of restrictive coating 4 is the light colour, discernment body 3 is transparent solid rod structure, and discernment body 3 imbeds completely in restrictive coating 4.
And 104, opening a cooling air pipe in the machine head before the recognition body 3 and the outer sheath 4 are sent into the water tank, introducing cooling compressed air into the cooling air pipe, and injecting the cooling compressed air along the inner wall of the sheath layer 4 to enable the inner pressure of the sheath layer 4 to be larger than the outer pressure. In the water tank cooling process, the material of the identification body 3 and the material of the outer sheath 4 have different thermal shrinkage rates, so that the identification body 3 and the part without the identification body 3 in the outer sheath 4 are not uniformly shrunk, the shape of the outer sheath 4 is elliptical, and the out-of-roundness exceeds the standard requirement. This step adopts cooling compressed air sizing technique to increase the cooling trachea in the extruder, and the cooling trachea inserts cooling compressed air, and the back is extruded in step to discernment body 3 and restrictive coating 4, and cooling compressed air pours into along the inner wall of restrictive coating 4, and the restrictive coating internal pressure is higher than the external pressure, therefore restrictive coating 4 can form circular state.
And 105, sending the sheath layer 4 and the identification body 3 extruded from the extruder into a water tank for cooling, and cooling and shaping the sheath layer 4 and the identification body 3. The recognition body 3 and the jacket layer 4 get into the basin cooling, the cooling of 4 inner walls of jacket layer has been accelerated in the injection of cooling compressed air, the cooling water in the basin has accelerated the cooling of 4 outer walls of jacket layer, the atmospheric pressure effect of cooling compressed air has simultaneously inhibited the freedom of jacket layer 4 and has retracted, through the atmospheric pressure of regulation and control cooling compressed air, through one section basin water-cooling again, final jacket layer 4 is stereotyped for the tubulose of rounding, the diameter and the rounding degree of optical cable obtain accurate control. The temperature of cooling compressed air is roughly the same with the temperature of cooling water in the basin, avoids cooling compressed air and the temperature difference of cooling water in the basin too big, leads to the inconsistent flaw that produces of restrictive coating 4 and the 3 surface cooling rate of recognition body.

step 101, the identification body 3 is made of a light-transmitting material, the light transmittance of the identification body 3 is greater than 85%, and the light refractive index of the identification body 3 is greater than the light refractive index of the inner sheath layer 42 and the outer sheath layer 41. The greater the light transmittance of the recognition object 3, the smaller the attenuation of the visible ray transmitted within the recognition object 3, and thus the longer the transmission distance. The optical refractive index of the recognition member 3 is greater than the optical refractive indexes of the inner sheath layer 42 and the outer sheath layer 41, so that the visible light rays form total reflection between the recognition member 3 and the inner sheath layer 42 and the outer sheath layer 41, and the larger the difference between the optical refractive indexes of the recognition member 3 and the inner sheath layer 42 and the outer sheath layer 41 is, the stronger the ability of the end surface to receive visible light rays is.

Step 103, after the optical unit 1 and the reinforcement 2 are synchronously output from the extruder, the extruder synchronously extrudes the inner sheath layer 42, the recognition body 3 and the outer sheath layer 41 from inside to outside, wherein the inner sheath layer 42 is coated on the outer surface of the reinforcement 2, the recognition body 3 is coated on the outer surface of the inner sheath layer 42, and the outer sheath layer 41 is coated on the outer surface of the recognition body 3.
And step 104, opening a cooling air pipe in the machine head, introducing cooling compressed air into the cooling air pipe, and injecting the cooling compressed air along the inner wall of the inner sheath layer 42 to enable the inner pressure of the inner sheath layer 42 to be larger than the outer pressure. After the plastic melt of the inner sheath layer 42, the identifier 3 and the outer sheath layer 41 is extruded, the plastic melt may sag and deform due to gravity, so that the outer sheath 4 has an oval shape, and the out-of-roundness exceeds the specification requirement. The cooling air pipe is added in the extruder by adopting the cooling compressed air sizing technology, the cooling air pipe is connected with the cooling compressed air, the cooling compressed air is injected along the inner wall of the inner sheath layer 42 after the plastic melts of the inner sheath layer 42, the recognition body 3 and the outer sheath layer 41 are extruded, the inner pressure of the inner sheath layer 42 is higher than the outer pressure, and therefore the inner sheath layer 42, the recognition body 3 and the outer sheath layer 41 can form a circular state.
And 105, sending the inner sheath layer 42, the identification body 3 and the outer sheath layer 41 extruded from the extruder into a water tank for cooling, and cooling and shaping the inner sheath layer 42, the identification body 3 and the outer sheath layer 41. Inner sheath layer 42, the discernment body 3 and outer sheath layer 41 get into the basin cooling, the cooling of inner sheath layer 42 inner wall has been accelerated in the injection of cooling compressed air, the cooling water in the basin has accelerated the cooling of outer sheath layer 41 outer wall, the atmospheric pressure effect of cooling compressed air has simultaneously restrained inner sheath layer 42 and outer sheath layer 41 and has freely retracted, through the atmospheric pressure of regulation and control cooling compressed air, through a section basin water-cooling again, final outer sheath layer 41 is stereotyped for the tubulose of rounding, the diameter and the roundness of optical cable obtain accurate control. The temperature of the cooling compressed air is approximately the same as that of the cooling water in the water tank, so that the phenomenon that the temperature difference between the cooling compressed air and the cooling water in the water tank is too large, and the defects are generated due to the fact that the cooling speeds of the surfaces of the outer sheath layer 41 and the inner sheath layer 42 are inconsistent is avoided.
