The rated breaking force overhead optical cable is an optical cable capable of meeting the safety performance of the optical cable, the rated breaking force means that the optical cable can be safely broken when the optical cable bears the pulling force in a specified range, the damage to the surrounding environment is prevented, for example, the optical cable is scratched and rubbed by vehicles or construction machinery, if the breaking force value of the optical cable is too large, an optical cable tower pole (or an electric power tower) is dragged, inclined and even collapsed by the optical cable, so that the damage to surrounding personnel, vehicles, buildings and the like is caused, and safety accidents are caused.
With the problems of more and more shortage of existing pipeline resources and construction cost, higher requirements are put forward on the inner cavity density (the inner cavity density = the number of optical fiber cores/the sectional area of the inner cavity) of the existing optical cable. The existing 36-core light safety optical cable with the outer diameter of 7.0mm is small in inner cavity density and small in number of optical fiber cores, and laying requirements are difficult to meet. In addition, the breaking force value of the existing light safety optical cable is difficult to guarantee, the breaking force is small, the optical cable is easy to damage (such as laying and pulling, windy weather and the like), the maintenance cost is increased, the breaking force is too large, and the line rod is easy to drag down when the conditions such as vehicle top hanging and the like are met accidentally, so that the paralysis of the whole line is caused, and the safety effect cannot be realized.
Under the condition of ensuring that the outer diameter index and the overall performance are not changed, the number of optical fiber cores is increased, namely, the concentration of the inner cavity of the optical fiber is increased, and the breaking force is ensured to be within the specified breaking value range, so that greater difficulty exists. To this end, the present application provides a rated breaking force overhead micro-beam optical cable, comprising at least one micro-beam tube optical unit, each micro-beam tube optical unit having a plurality of optical fibers therein; the micro-beam tube light unit is sequentially wrapped with a water-blocking tape and an outer sheath from inside to outside, two groups of reinforcing members are symmetrically embedded in the outer sheath in parallel along the circumferential direction, the reinforcing members are arranged in the outer sheath close to the water-blocking tape, and each group of reinforcing members comprises three copper-plated steel stranded wires; water-blocking yarns are arranged outside the micro-beam tube light units and in the water-blocking tapes; the total number of the optical fibers in the optical cable is 72-144 cores and the like, the outer diameter of the optical cable is 7.0 +/-0.1 mm, and the breaking force range is 1350N-2000N.
The lower limit value of the breaking force is set for the first time in the application, the range of the breaking force F is guaranteed to be 1350N or more and 2000N or less, the safety performance of the optical cable is guaranteed, in addition, the outer diameter of the optical cable is 7.0mm, the total number of the cores is 72, 96 or 144 cores and the like, the optical fiber inner cavity density is high, the optical fiber inner cavity density is improved under the condition that the overall performance is not reduced, and therefore the safety performance of the optical cable is guaranteed, and the problems that existing laying pipeline resources are more and more nervous and the construction cost is solved.
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present application without making any creative effort belong to the protection scope of the present application.
Reference herein to "an embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment of the application. The appearances of the phrase in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, nor are separate or alternative embodiments mutually exclusive of other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by one skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.
Example 1:
in embodiment 1 of the present application, a 72-core overhead microbeam optical cable with rated breaking force is provided, as shown in fig. 1, including 3 microbeam tube optical units 2, where there are 24 optical fibers 1 in each microbeam tube optical unit 2, that is, the total number of cores of the optical fibers in the optical cable is 72 cores. And a 3000D expansion water-blocking yarn 3 is arranged at the cable core of the optical cable, and an expansion water-blocking yarn 3 twisted with the micro-beam tube optical unit is arranged outside the cable core. The microbeam tube light unit 2 is sequentially wrapped with a water-blocking tape 5 and an outer sheath 6 from inside to outside, and a reinforcing member 4 is embedded in the outer sheath 6.
In the present embodiment 1, the 24 optical fibers in each of the microbeam tube optical units 2 are arranged at intervals along the inscribed square or rectangle of the ferrule of the microbeam tube optical unit 2.
In this embodiment 1, the outer diameter of the optical cable is 7.0 ± 0.1mm, and the breaking force F range is: f is more than or equal to 1350N and less than or equal to 2000N. The out-of-roundness of the optical cable is less than 2.82%.
In this embodiment, the water blocking tape 5 is longitudinally wrapped outside the optical unit 2 of the micro-beam tube, and the volume of the longitudinally wrapped optical cable is smaller, and the micro-beam tube is softer, so that the longitudinal wrapping force is smaller, and the optical unit is not easily damaged.
In some embodiments, the surface of the water-blocking tape 5 close to the microbeam tube light unit 2 is a smooth surface, and the surface of the water-blocking tape 5 close to the outer sheath 6 is a rough surface. Therefore, the outer sheath 6 is conveniently formed, meanwhile, the smooth surface of the water blocking tape 5 can face the micro-beam tube optical unit 2, the water blocking tape 5 is prevented from scratching the micro-beam tube optical unit 2, and the influence of the water blocking tape 5 on the transmission performance of the micro-beam tube optical unit 2 is reduced.
The size of the optical cable must ensure the external diameter index of 7.0 +/-0.1 mm according to the matching degree of the hardware fitting on the construction site. If the outer diameter index and the overall performance are guaranteed to be unchanged, the number of the optical fiber cores is increased, namely the inner cavity concentration of the optical fiber is increased (the inner cavity concentration = the number of the optical fiber cores/the sectional area of the inner cavity), and the breaking force is guaranteed to be under the specified breaking value (1350-2000N), so that great difficulty exists. This requires a comprehensive and inventive design of the thickness and material of the outer sheath, the selection of the size and material of the reinforcing member, the size of the jacket tube in the microbeam tube optical unit, the size specification of the optical fiber, and the like.
Outer sheath adopts High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) in this embodiment, has the characteristic of low shrink, slows down the deformation of product after meeting water-cooling, has also guaranteed the high low temperature and the ageing behavior in product later stage simultaneously. Meanwhile, the high-density polyethylene outer sheath can improve the water seepage prevention effect of the optical cable, meet the requirements of a 24H soaking test and ensure that no water seeps in the soaking process.
Meanwhile, the thickness of the outer sheath of the optical cable must ensure that the product meets the side pressure resistance performance test (the side pressure resistance performance test requirement that 2000N of force is applied to the two sides of the optical cable for 10 min). The prior 36 cores with small core number and small internal optical fiber number have relatively loose requirements on lateral pressure resistance performance indexes, but the 72 cores have the problem that the internal space is further compressed due to the increase of the optical fiber number, so that the wall thickness of the outer sheath is easily insufficient, and the lateral pressure test requirements can not be met. In the invention, on the basis of researching the structure of the 36-core optical cable, a critical point of wall thickness meeting the requirement of flattening is searched as a reference, and the strict limitation of the outer diameter of the optical cable is considered, so that the thickness of the outer sheath is designed to be 1.4-1.6 mm, such as 1.4mm, 1.45mm, 1.5mm1.55mm and 1.6mm.
In this embodiment two sets of said reinforcement elements 4 are arranged in parallel symmetry within the outer sheath 6. Two groups of reinforcing members 4 are symmetrically embedded in the outer sheath 6 in parallel along the circumferential direction, the reinforcing members 4 are arranged in the outer sheath close to the water blocking tape 5, and each group of reinforcing members 4 comprises three copper-plated steel stranded wires. If the reinforcing members are too close to the outside, the thickness of the outer side wall is too thin, and the risk of breakdown exists, and the performance of resisting 15KV voltage cannot be met, so that the two groups of reinforcing members 4 are arranged in the outer sheath 6 and close to the water blocking tape 5.
The optical cable is overhead by adopting the parallel reinforcing component, the reinforcing component needs to meet the requirement of tensile fiber change, simultaneously, the optical cable also needs to be subjected to brittle failure of a product under a specified force value (1350-2000N), meanwhile, the size requirement of the product is fixed, and the nominal 7.0mm outer diameter requirement needs to be met, so that the selection of the parallel reinforcing component is crucial, and the following requirements are considered for the selection of the parallel reinforcing component: (1) firstly, considering the overall size of a product and the requirements of the wall thickness of the inner side and the outer side of a reinforcing member, the size of the reinforcing member needs to be less than 0.8mm, otherwise, the size is too large, if the reinforcing member is close to the outer side, a mark appears, and if the reinforcing member is close to the inner side, the reinforcing member is exposed; (2) the reinforcing component needs to be soft and has good bending performance, so that the product can be kept to have good winding and bending performance; (3) and finally, considering that the internal components bear corresponding force values when the optical cable is broken under the rated force value, analyzing that a single reinforcing member has the breaking force value of 400N-600N. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the reinforcing members are copper-plated steel strands, and each group of the reinforcing members 4 includes three copper-plated steel strands.
In other embodiments the reinforcement member 4 may also be a non-metallic element, such as a glass fibre reinforced plastic rod, an aramid fibre reinforced plastic rod, a carbon fibre reinforced plastic rod, or the like. When the nonmetal reinforcing component is adopted, the aerial optical cable is an all-dielectric optical cable and can be suitable for areas with high lightning or areas with strong electromagnetic fields.
Because the optical fiber is provided with the 72 cores, the size of the sleeve of the micro-beam tube optical unit and the size of the optical fiber both need to be reasonably designed, so that the breaking force is ensured to be under a specified breaking value (1350-2000N) under the condition of ensuring that the outer diameter index and the overall performance are not changed. The outer diameter of the sleeve of the microbeamformer tube optical unit 2 in the present application is 1.4-1.5mm, such as 1.4mm, 1.45mm, 1.5mm, with the outer diameter of the optical fiber not exceeding 200 μm, such as 195 μm, 200 μm being optional.
For example, in this embodiment 1, the outer diameter of the sleeve of the microbeam tube optical unit 2 is 1.5mm, and the outer diameter of the optical fiber is 200um.
In this embodiment 1, since the outer diameter of the product is fixed to be 7.0mm, and the thickness of the outer sheath is 1.4mm to 1.6mm, the breaking force value of the outer sheath material and the corresponding value of the tensile force value under 0.667% strain are obtained by performing theoretical calculation according to the lowest tensile strength of 20Mpa and the highest elastic modulus of 1400Mpa of the outer sheath material.
(1) When the outer sheath is 1.4mm thick: sheath rupture force value under 20Mpa tensile strength:
{π*(7.0mm/2) 2 -π*[(7.0mm-1.4mm*2)/2] 2 }*20MPa=492.4N;
tensile value at 0.667% strain of the modulus of elasticity at 1400 MPa:
{π*(7.0mm/2) 2 -π*[(7.0mm-1.4mm*2)/2] 2 }*1400MPa*0.667%=229.9N;
because the construction environment is not lower than 800N, the radius size R of the reinforcing pieces on the two sides is corresponding to 0.667% strain according to the minimum force value of 800N: 2 pi R 2 *190gpa × 0.667% =800N-229.9N, giving R =0.2676mm; whereas, at the theoretically calculated dimensions of the reinforcement R, the breaking force value of the theoretical reinforcement is: 2 pi xi (0.2676 mm) 2 *1900mpa =854.4n, and after embedding the reinforcement, the sheath cross-sectional area will slightly decrease, decreasing the value of the post-theoretical sheath rupture force:
{π*(7.0mm/2) 2 -π*[(7.0mm-1.4mm*2)/2] 2 -2*π*(0.2676mm) 2 20mpa =483.4n. So the theoretical minimum breaking force value is obtained: 854.4N +483.4N =1335.8N。
(2) When the outer sheath is 1.5mm thick: sheath rupture force value under 20Mpa tensile strength:
{π*(7.0mm/2) 2 -π*[(7.0mm-1.5mm*2)/2] 2 }*20MPa=518.1N;
tensile value at 0.667% strain of modulus of elasticity at 1400 MPa:
{π*(7.0mm/2) 2 -π*[(7.0mm-1.5mm*2)/2] 2 }*1400MPa*0.667%=241.9N;
because the construction environment is not lower than 800N, the radius size R of the reinforcing pieces on the two sides is corresponding to 0.667% strain according to the minimum force value of 800N: 2 pi R 2 *190gpa × 0.667% =800N-241.9N, giving R =0.2648mm; whereas, at the theoretically calculated dimensions of the reinforcement R, the breaking force values of the theoretical reinforcement are: 2 pi (0.2648 mm) 2 p 1900mpa =836.6n, and the jacket cross-sectional area is slightly reduced after the reinforcements are embedded, and the theoretical jacket rupture value is reduced:
{π*(7.0mm/2) 2 -π*[(7.0mm-1.5mm*2)/2] 2 -2*π*(0.2648mm) 2 20mpa =509.3n. So the theoretical lowest breaking force value is obtained: 836.6N +509.3N =1345.9N.
(3) When the outer sheath is 1.6mm thick: sheath rupture value under tensile strength of 20 Mpa:
{π*(7.0mm/2) 2 -π*[(7.0mm-1.6mm*2)/2] 2 }*20MPa=542.6N;
tensile value at 0.667% strain of the modulus of elasticity at 1400 MPa:
{π*(7.0mm/2) 2 -π*[(7.0mm-1.6mm*2)/2] 2 }*1400MPa*0.667%=253.3N;
because the construction environment is not lower than 800N, the radius dimension R of the reinforcing pieces on two sides is corresponding to the strain of 0.667 percent according to the minimum force value of 800N: 2 pi R 2 *190gpa × 0.667% =800N-253.3N, giving R =0.2620mm; whereas, at the theoretically calculated dimensions of the reinforcement R, the breaking force values of the theoretical reinforcement are: 2 pi (0.2620 mm) 2 1900mpa =819.1n, and after the reinforcement is embedded, the sheath cross-sectional area is slightly reduced, and the theoretical sheath rupture force value is reduced:
{π*(7.0mm/2) 2 -π*[(7.0mm-1.6mm*2)/2] 2 -2*π*(0.2620mm) 2 20mpa } 20mpa =534n. So the theoretical lowest breaking force value is obtained: 819.1N +534N=1353.1N.
According to the theoretical calculation of (1) to (3), the minimum value of the breaking force F of the rated breaking force overhead microbeam optical cable is 1335.8N. Considering that the allowable errors of the dimensions such as the thickness of the outer sheath, the diameter of the reinforcing member, the outer diameter of the sleeve of the optical unit of the micro-beam tube and the like in the manufacturing process have influence on the breaking force of the optical cable and the increase of the breaking force of the water blocking tape, the lower limit value of the breaking force F in the invention is corrected to 1350N.
The upper limit value of the breaking force F of the rated breaking force overhead microbeam optical cable is 2000N, and when the upper limit value exceeds 2000N, equipment, a line pole and the like on a line are damaged under the dragging of the force value, so that 2000N is the maximum protection force value.
The breaking force F range of the present invention is therefore: f is more than or equal to 1350N and less than or equal to 2000N.
And the minimum tensile force value that the optical cable can bear in the invention is more than 800N. The secondary extra length (namely the length of the outer sheath exceeding the micro-beam tube) after micro-beam stranding is small and is corrected according to 0.02 percent, the internal main stress elements are copper-plated steel stranded wires and sheath materials, and other materials can be ignored: force value of copper-plated stranded wire under 0.667% strain:
the cross-sectional area of 6 copper-plated steel wires (elastic modulus) (0.667% + 0.02%) =6 × pi (0.32 mm/2) 2 × 190gpa × 0.687% =629.87N. Force value of jacket material at 0.667% strain: sheath cross-sectional area sheath material elastic modulus (0.667% + 0.02%) = { pi (7.0 mm/2) 2 -π*[(7mm-1.5mm*2)/2] 2 -6*π*(0.32mm/2) 2 0.687% = 174.74N) } 1000mpa × 0.687%, force value at 0.667% strain: 629.87N +174.74=804.61N.
Through the test of the tensile property of the optical cable, respectively applying 800N and 150N tensile forces to a section of overhead microbeam optical cable with the rated breaking force, the length of which is more than or equal to 25m, for 10 minutes, and meeting the following conditions: (1) when the optical cable bears 800N, the strain of the optical cable is less than 0.667%; (2) when the strain of the optical cable is born at 150N, the strain is less than 0.2 percent; (3) residual strain after the pulling force is removed is less than 0.05 percent; (4) the additional attenuation is less than 0.05dB; (5) there is no damage to other components, i.e., the cable is not damaged (e.g., the outer jacket is not visibly cracked). The residual strain refers to that after a certain load is applied to the material, the compressive strength and the tensile strength of the material are high, the deformation generated by the material is small, and the stress is stored in the material and is not released. The additional attenuation refers to the residual additional attenuation of the cable, and the absolute value of the change in attenuation after the end of the test is called residual additional attenuation.
Because the optical cable is built on stilts to be set up and need consider the optical cable destruction that the thunder and lightning overvoltage caused, the high voltage short-time phenomenon also causes the oversheath to puncture promptly. The optical cable in this application needs to satisfy certain ac voltage resistance. Through the performance test of alternating voltage resistance: the product testing length is 5 +/-0.5 meter, the product with the testing length is placed in a water tank, the length of the two ends of the product extending out of the water tank is not more than 0.5m, the middle part of the product is completely immersed in water for not less than 24 hours, the water tank is grounded, alternating current voltage with the maximum amplitude of 15kv and the frequency of 50hz is applied between a product metal reinforcing part and the ground, and once the voltage reaches 15kv, the product can be maintained for not less than 5 minutes without being punctured by the alternating current voltage.
In order to ensure good air tightness of the optical cable, the rated breaking force overhead microbeam optical cable needs to be subjected to an air tightness test. And (3) testing the air tightness: one end of the optical cable is placed in the pressurizing chamber, the other end of the optical cable extends out of the pressurizing chamber, the pressurizing chamber is pressurized to 30kPa +/-3 kPa, a gas pressure detection point is selected on the optical cable, a pressure gauge is used for detecting the pressure of the gas pressure detection point, and the reading of the pressure gauge of the gas pressure detection point is unchanged after the optical cable is placed for 48 hours. The gas pressure detection points may be set such that the first gas pressure detection point is 1m from the pressurizing chamber and the distance between the subsequent adjacent gas pressure detection points is set to 250mm.

In other embodiments, the color bar 7 may be a convex or concave structure formed on the surface of the outer sheath 6. When the colour bar 7 is a convex or concave structure on the outer sheath 6, the colour bar 7 can be triangular or semicircular in shape, and the depth of the concave or the height of the convex is generally not more than 0.2mm. The color of the color bar 7 can be set as desired, for example yellow, blue, red, etc.
