Description
A FIBRE OPTIC CABLE JETTING CONTROL METHOD AND A DEVICE FOR IMPLEMENTING THAT METHOD
The subject matter of this invention is a fibre optic cable jetting control method and a device adopting that method.
Fibre optic cables or microcables are jetted into a telecommunication ducting system by taking advantage of the combination of forces from two sources. One of them is a mechanical feeder, which is used for pushing the fibre optic cable into the duct, and the other source is a compressor supplying compressed air pushed into that duct. Water is also used instead of air.
Owing to friction against the cable surface, the flowing agent causes cable blowing/pulling into the duct. The supporting force from the mechanical feeder permits cable jetting at considerable distances.
A fibre optic cable pushed into the duct (or microduct) becomes buckled; the higher the pushing force acting on the cable, the greater the buckling. As a result of buckling, the fibre optic cable undulates in the air stream and, while pushing against the duct wall, causes an additional friction-increasing reaction perpendicularly to the duct axis. The more strongly the fibre optic cable is pushed-in, the greater resistance it offers. This results in the reduction of the cable movement speed in the duct and of the distance over which the cable may can be jetted into the duct. The increase of the pushing force is also related to a higher risk of the fibre optic cable damage.
The cable moves in the duct until such time when friction resistance resulting from cable contact with the duct becomes equal to the (air/water) pulling force and to the (feeder) pushing force acting at the same time. Friction resistance is reduced through the use of liquid lubricants.
Devices used at present for fibre optic cable jetting into telecommunication ducting systems, such devices being also called cable blowing-in machines, consist of a pneumatically, hydraulically or electrically powered mechanical feeder and of a blowing-in head combined with a feeder in a detachable or non- detachable (most often) way, the head being connected to a source of compressed air or water (rarely).
Those devices do not usually offer the reading of the current pushing force acting on the cable when it is jetted into the duct, and none of those devices used at present employs the feedback of that force with the cable feeding speed and with the blowing-in air pressure as a relationship used for process automation, because such devices are not equipped with appropriate electronics.
The cable pushing speed and blowing-in air pressure, the tuning of which is necessary in the control of fibre optic cable jetting, is now controlled "manually" and only on the basis of the subjective assessment and experience of the operator who analyses pressure readings and the pushing force value read on a meter or display, if the device is equipped with one.
However, the efficiency of fibre optic cable jetting requires the process parameters to be optimised in a reliable way, which means parameter control on an ongoing basis so that the cable introduction resistance will be as small as
possible (therefore so that the cable pushing force will be as low as possible) with the possibly high speed and required distance of cable jetting maintained.
The fibre optic cable jetting control method in line with the invention consists in regulating the cable pushing speed and blowing-in air pressure by means of a PLC (programmable logic controller), which communicates with the motor regulator and blowing-in air pressure sensor, processes input signals received from them on an ongoing basis according to a predefined algorithm and sends signals setting the desirable values of the cable pushing speed and blowing-in air pressure to the blowing-in air valve assembly and, by return, to the motor regulator. In the case of blowing-in air pressure regulation, the PLC sends a voltage signal specifying the valve opening degree to the blowing-in air valve assembly, and the cable pushing speed is regulated in such a way that the motor regulator receives voltage signals from the pushing force potentiometer and the pushing speed potentiometer, and also reads the voltage and intensity of the current and the frequency of power supply to the motor and, on that basis, sends the PLC the information about the value of the setpoints on the pushing force potentiometer and pushing speed potentiometer and about the present torque on the shaft of the motor and its speed. In return, the PLC sends the motor regulator the information about the required value of the motor shaft rotational speed and of the torque on the shaft of the motor. Following that, the motor regulator generates a signal causing the motor to be fed with the current with desirable voltage, intensity and frequency.
The device for the implementation of the fibre optic cable jetting control method in line with the invention consists of a mechanical cable feeder and of
an openable blowing-in head connected with the feeder in a detachable way. The cable feeder includes a three phase electric motor, worm gear combined with the motor, cable pushing belts driven by a pair of active rollers, a blowing-in air pressure sensor connected with the blowing-in head by means of a pressure measurement hose, as well as the cable length meter with a display, a PLC, motor regulator, pushing force potentiometer with a display showing the force value, and a cable pushing force potentiometer.
The blowing-in head is an element fitted to the fibre optic cable feeder by means of the fixing screw. The head consists of two semi-cylindrical segments congruent to each other and connected with each other by means of a hinge. Along their axes, the semi-cylindrical segments feature a groove inside them, which is suitable for the placing, inside those segments, of the duct with its seal and clamping sleeve, and a fibre optic cable bipartite guide sleeve with a seal. There is a service connection for the pressure measurement hose on one semi- cylindrical segment and a blowing-in air connection on the other segment. Following "charging," putting together and bolting with closing screws, both semi-cylindrical segments form the appropriately sealed head ready for blowing- in the fibre optic cable.
The PLC is directly connected with the blowing-in air pressure sensor and the blowing-in valve assembly by means of a signal course. The PLC is connected with the pushing force potentiometer, the pushing speed potentiometer and with the motor via the motor regulator.
The subject matter of the invention is explained in a greater detail on the example of the construction based on drawings. Fig. 1 is the isometric view of a device in line with the invention, with the fibre optic cable introduced into the blowing-in head and between the pushing belts. Fig. 2 shows the front view of the device in line with the invention (also with the fibre optic cable introduced into the device), Fig. 3 shows the isometric view of the open "charged" blowing- in head, and Fig. 4 is a block diagram showing the course of signals between the elements of the device as per the invention, such elements involved in the control of the device operation.
The fibre optic cable jetting control method in line with the invention consists in regulating the cable pushing speed and blowing-in air pressure by means of a PLC (6), which communicates with the motor regulator (4) and blowing-in air pressure sensor (7), processes input signals received from them on an ongoing basis according to a predefined algorithm and sends signals setting the desirable values of the cable pushing speed and blowing-in air pressure to the blowing-in air valve assembly (ZP) and, by return, to the motor regulator (4). In the case of blowing-in air pressure regulation, the PLC sends a voltage signal specifying the valve opening degree to the blowing-in air valve assembly (ZP), and the cable pushing speed is regulated in such a way that the motor regulator (4) receives voltage signals from the pushing force potentiometer (13) and the pushing speed potentiometer (14), and also reads the voltage and intensity of the current and the frequency of power supply to the motor (5) and, on that basis, sends the PLC (6) the information about the value of the setpoints on the pushing force potentiometer (13) and pushing speed potentiometer (14) and about the present torque on the shaft of the motor (5) and its speed. In return,
the PLC (6) sends the motor regulator (4) the information about the required value of the rotational speed of the shaft of the electric motor (5) and of the torque on the shaft of the motor. Following that, the motor regulator (4) generates a signal causing the motor to be supplied with the current with desirable voltage, intensity and frequency.
The device for the implementation of the fibre optic jetting control method in line with the invention consists of a mechanical cable feeder and of an openable blowing-in head (3) connected with the feeder in a detachable way. The cable feeder includes a three phase electric motor (3), worm gear (8) combined with the motor, cable pushing belts (10) driven by a pair of active rollers (9), a blowing-in air pressure sensor (7) connected with the blowing-in head (3) by means of the pressure measurement hose (12), as well as the cable length meter (16) with a display (18), the PLC (6), motor regulator (4), pushing force potentiometer (17) with a display showing the force value (17), and a cable pushing force potentiometer (14).
The blowing-in head (3) is an element fitted to the fibre optic cable feeder by means of the fixing screw (19). The head consists of two semi-cylindrical segments congruent to each other and connected with each other by means of a hinge. Along their axes, the semi-cylindrical segments feature a groove inside them, which is suitable for the placing, inside those segments, of the duct (2) with its seal (22) and clamping sleeve (23), and a bipartite guide sleeve (24) for the fibre optic cable with a seal (21). There is a service connection for the pressure measurement hose (12) on one semi-cylindrical segment and a blowing-in air connection (11) on the other segment. Following "charging,"
putting together and bolting with closing screws (25), both semi-cylindrical segments form the appropriately sealed head ready for blowing-in the fibre optic cable.
The PLC (6) is directly connected with the blowing-in air pressure sensor (7) and the blowing-in valve assembly (ZP) by means of a signal course. The PLC is connected with the pushing force potentiometer (13), the pushing speed potentiometer (14) and with the motor via the motor regulator (4).
The regulation of the parameters influencing the force pushing the fibre optic cable into the duct takes place as follows:
After the operator has determined the maximum safe fibre optic cable pushing force and speed setpoints by means of the potentiometers (13 and 14) designed for the purpose, the motor regulator (4) reads the cable pushing force value at the start and sends that information to the PLC (6), which treats that value as a point of reference. Then the controller checks the pushing force increase and, on that basis, increases the blowing-in air valve opening in predefined steps until such time as the fibre optic cable pushing force stops increasing.
Opening the blowing-in air valve results in the air flow increase in the duct, and so increases the speed of that air, too. The speed increase generates an aerodynamic force which "pulls" the cable in the air flow direction. It is possible to increase the flow until such time as the value corresponding to the pressure drop for the given diameter and optical fibre cable ducting length is achieved, not higher, however, than the maximum compressor working pressure. When the maximum pressure or maximum valve opening has been achieved, the
possibly small fibre optic cable pushing force may be maintained through the reduction of the cable pushing speed.
In certain situations, pulse blowing-in is useful for fibre optic cable jetting. Pulse blowing-in consists in alternating air valve opening and closing in such a way that the pulsating air flow effect is achieved with the stop and start of the feeder drive at the same time. This takes place in variable duration cycles, that is the valve opening and closing time becomes longer with each cycle. Regulation continues as long as length of the cable blown-in in cycles is shorter than the programmed minimum threshold.
