Background
Currently, with the development of the communication industry in China and the construction requirement of mobile 5G, the requirement of network capacity is continuously improved. Meanwhile, urban land resources are increasingly deficient, and urban pipeline resources are increasingly tense, so that the optical fiber packaging density of the optical cable is urgently needed to be increased while the number of optical fiber cores in a limited pipeline is increased, and the air-blown optical cable technology becomes one of important ways for solving the problem.
The air-blowing micro cable is an optical cable which can be laid by using an air-blowing mode, has the advantages of high optical fiber density, small diameter, light weight and high air-blowing laying efficiency, is widely applied to backbone networks, local area networks, access networks and the like, effectively saves pipeline resources and meets the requirements of network expansion construction. Along with the popularization of the internet and the internet access requirement of mobile phones, the data transmission quantity is larger and larger, the original small-core air-blown micro cable cannot meet the current requirement, the demand quantity of the large-core air-blown micro cable is increased continuously, but the large-core air-blown micro cable has the characteristics of heavy optical cable, short air-blown distance, low air-blown efficiency and the like.
The outer diameter of a common GCYFY-144B1.3 optical cable is about 7.9mm, the weight per kilometer is about 60KG/km, under the general construction condition, the optical cable is blown into an air blowing pipeline with 12/10mm, the air blowing distance is about 1000 meters generally (the air blowing distance is related to the friction coefficient of the surface of the optical cable, the friction coefficient of the pipeline and the like), and the optical fiber splicing needs more cost due to the larger number of optical cable cores.
The problems encountered in the actual development process of the existing air-blowing micro cable are as follows: 1) the diameter of the central tube type air-blowing micro-cable structure is relatively large, the duty ratio (the area of the outer edge of the cross section of the micro-cable/the area of the inner edge of the cross section of the micro-tube) is higher in a micro-tube with the specification of 5/3.5mm, and the air-blowing effect is influenced; 2) the outer sheaths of the central tube type air-blowing micro-cables are all high-density polyethylene (HDPE), the friction coefficients of the HDPE are different from 0.12 to 0.35, the HDPE is mainly related to the grade and the processing technology of sheath materials selected by various manufacturers, and under the condition of high duty ratio, the good air-blowing effect is difficult to achieve by using the friction coefficients, so that the central tube type air-blowing micro-cables with some structures are difficult to overcome the defect of the friction coefficients, some air flow channels are arranged on the surfaces of the sheaths, the friction coefficients of products can be objectively reduced, but in the actual air-blowing application, the air-blowing effect is not greatly improved due to the abrasion of the surface materials of the sheaths and the adhesion of high-temperature and high-pressure materials, great breakthrough is difficult to achieve in the air-blowing distance, the requirements of long-distance air-blowing and high-efficiency construction of customers are difficult to meet, and the engineering progress can be influenced under the conditions of complicated construction routes and poor pipeline quality; 3) when HDPE (high-density polyethylene) is used as a sheath material and the HDPE material is used as the same material of an air blowing pipeline to rub, the fluctuation range of the friction coefficient is very large, which reflects that the air blowing effect is that the air blowing speed is unstable, and the air blowing construction safety is influenced.

1) respectively discharging the inner end and the outer end of an air-blowing micro cable (103) which is stored on a wire spool to set lengths from the wire spool, wherein the outer end of the air-blowing micro cable (103) is used for advancing in an air-blowing pipeline, and the inner end of the air-blowing micro cable (103) is provided with a sealing bearing (102);
2) the position of the sealing bearing (102) exceeds the end side plate of the I-shaped wire spool (101), then the sealing bearing (102) is hermetically installed on the air blowing machine, and the central line of the sealing bearing (102) and the central line of the I-shaped wire spool (101) are coaxially arranged;
3) the I-shaped wire spool (101) rotates to pay off the air-blowing micro cable (103), and air flow blown out by the air-blowing machine flows into the inner cavity of the central reinforcing core (2) after passing through the inner cavity of the sealing bearing (102), so that the outer end of the air-blowing micro cable (103) is pushed to advance in an air-blowing pipeline.
8. The air-blowing construction method of the air-blowing micro-cable according to claim 7, wherein the outside of the air-blowing micro-cable (103) is also air-blown by another air-blowing machine.
9. The air-blowing construction method of the air-blowing micro cable according to claim 7, wherein a plug is installed at one end of the air-blowing micro cable (103) for extending into an air-blowing pipeline, so as to plug the end of the central reinforcing core (2).
10. The air-blowing construction method of an air-blowing micro cable as claimed in claim 7, wherein an air pressure of the air-blowing inside the central reinforcing core (2) is not more than 12 bar.
