Concrete technical scheme
Feature of the present invention and other correlated characteristic are described in further detail by example below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, so that technician's of the same trade understanding:
Shown in Fig. 1-7, label 1-14 represents respectively: optical fiber (1), S-Z stranded (2), conduit (3), welding (4), traction (5), take-up reel (6), die orifice (7), roller (8), stainless steel band (9), stainless-steel tube (10), gap (11), plastic inner lining pipe (12), bonding ring (13), extruder (14).
The fiber products of present embodiment is provided with plastic inner lining pipe layer (12) in stainless-steel tube (10), the endoporus of plastic inner lining pipe (12) is the eccentric shape of S-Z spiral at long axis direction, its external diameter is slightly less than the internal diameter of stainless steel coated tube (10), fibre bundle (1) is positioned at plastic inner lining pipe (12), also is the S-Z spiral fashion.Long axis direction along plastic inner lining pipe (12), on internal lining pipe (12) outer wall, more than the internal lining pipe endoporus S-Z spiralization cycle of every interval, but be not more than the distance in 50 cycles, its part is bonded as one with stainless steel inside pipe wall, the bonding annulate shaft in this part should be more than or equal to 3mm to width, distance at interval with more than or equal to an internal lining pipe endoporus S-Z spiralization cycle, but no more than 10 such cycles be the best.
Excess fiber length amount, the excess fiber length axial distribution homogeneity that can effectively obtain and control the stainless-steel tube second coating optical fiber being set and preventing bare fibre (1) in stainless-steel tube (10) the inwall commissure flaw damage pipe of plastic inner lining pipe (12).
The manufacture method of present embodiment product is that fibre bundle (1) is also gone into plastic inner lining pipe (12) with the S-Z heave in behind tension stringing, thereby obtains excess fiber length once more and keep each excess fiber length consistance.This plastic inner lining pipe adopts core rod S-Z to wave eccentric expressing technique preparation.Along the long axis direction of plastic inner lining pipe, in the internal lining pipe outside, the distance of every interval plastic inner lining pipe orifice S-Z spiralization cycle above (comprising 1 cycle), but be not more than 10 cycles, the annular hot melt adhesive layer of a circle (ring width 〉=3mm) is coated in the part.When stainless steel band through the roller moulding, cladding is carried out Laser Welding (LBW) when being connected into stainless-steel tube outside the plastic inner lining pipe, the local plastic internal lining pipe outer wall that scribbles thermosol promptly is bonded as one with stainless steel inside pipe wall.
The present embodiment product in use, in the elastic deformation scope of plastic inner lining pipe (12) material, when lining steel pipe (10) is subjected to tension force or temperature rising etc. and when elongation takes place, increasing while extending to reverse with the S-Z Cycle Length will appear in the part that plastic inner lining pipe (12) is gone up and stainless-steel tube (10) inwall does not bond with S-Z spiral eccentric inner hole, thereby its internal optical fiber (1) is not subjected to ess-strain.Otherwise, remove or temperature decline when tension force, during lining steel pipe (10) retraction, this partly plastic internal lining pipe (12) then also shrinks simultaneously in the elastic properties of materials deformation range, oppositely circles round and S-Z spiralization cycle length resets.
Test of present embodiment properties of product and detection case are as follows:
The 16 core stainless-steel tube second coating optical fibers that are developed into, the stainless-steel tube external diameter is 3.2mm, and internal diameter is 2.8mm, and wall thickness is 0.2mm.The plastic inner lining external diameter of pipe is 2.7mm, and internal diameter is 2.0mm.Adopt intercept method that fibre loss is measured, the average light loss value under the 1310nm wavelength is 0.34db/Km, and the average light loss under the 1550nm wavelength is 0.20db/Km.
Fig. 4 has shown the difference measurement result of each excess fiber length in the excess fiber length amount of stainless-steel tube coated fiber sample of different sample lengths and the same stainless-steel tube.Owing to be provided with the plastic inner lining pipe of the eccentric spiral endoporus of S-Z in the stainless-steel tube, and fibre bundle also adopts S-Z stranded when inserting the plastic inner lining pipe, so stainless steel coated tube inner fiber can be obtained between the long amount in Dayu, each optical fiber the little and excess fiber length of surplus long difference and is evenly distributed vertically.
The above-mentioned stainless-steel tube coated fiber of getting 30M length carries out the tension force stretching test, and the optic path loss of monitoring 16 * 30M welding total length simultaneously changes.Fig. 5 has shown this experimental test result.Because when the stainless-steel tube coated fiber of this S-Z of the having spiral of present embodiment, the plastic inner lining tubular construction of variable S-Z spiralization cycle eccentric inner hole is subjected to tension force stretching, in its elastic deformation scope, can rotate the limit and extend and increase the S-Z spiralization cycle, thereby discharge than common excess fiber length bigger when static by part liner tube edge.Therefore, the tension test detection architecture shows that when the relative tensile elongation of coated fiber reaches 1.2% the fiber transmission attenuation in the coated tube still remains unchanged.
Get the above-mentioned stainless-steel tube coated fiber coiled circle of 200M length, place in the high-low temperature test chamber, carry out-40 ℃-+100 ℃ high low temperature cyclic test and+90 ℃, 400 hours continuous heat resistant test, the optical transmission loss of light path under the 1550nm wavelength of the 16 * 200M of continuous monitoring simultaneously welding total length changes.Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 have shown the loss situation of change of stainless-steel tube coated fiber in thermocycling and heat resistant test respectively.According to the test testing result, the loss changing value of the optical fiber of present embodiment product in thermocycling and heat resistant test confirmed that less than 0.03db/Km above-mentioned stainless-steel tube coated fiber has good temperature-loss variation characteristic.
