Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention. In addition, the technical features involved in the embodiments of the present invention described below may be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
The invention provides a double-layer tight-sleeve phase-stabilizing optical cable, which sequentially comprises the following components from inside to outside: the optical fiber, the first tight-buffered layer and the second tight-buffered layer.
The first tight-buffered layer and the optical fiber have the stripping force of 2N to 9N, are LCP materials with molecular orientation arrangement, have the thickness of 0.05mm to 0.3mm, the elastic modulus of 10 to 13GPa and the thermal expansion coefficient of-1 to 1 × 10-7and/K. Preferably, the first tight-buffered layer is poly-p-phenylene terephthalamide with a melt flow index between 15 and 35, preferably between 17 and 26.
The second tight-buffered layer is ethylene tetrafluoroethylene copolymer, the melt flow index is between 10 and 25, the thickness is between 0.05mm and 0.15mm, and the stripping force of the second tight-buffered layer and the first tight-buffered layer is between 0.8N and 6N. The second cuff layer deformation rate is greater than or equal to 400%.
The double-layer tight-sleeve phase-stabilizing optical cable provided by the invention aims at the problem that the optical path difference of the existing optical cable fluctuates greatly along with the temperature change, and the first tight-sleeve layer is adopted, so that the thermal expansion coefficient of the optical cable is very small relative to that of the optical fiber, the optical fiber can be stabilized, and the temperature drift coefficient of a product is reduced. To achieve this effect, the peel force between the LCP jacket layer and the fiber needs to be on the order of 2N to 9N. Therefore, the LCP material should not only be selected to have a thermal expansion coefficient and an elastic modulus that meet the requirements, but also be considered to have a tight bonding with the optical fiber.
Furthermore, if a layer of LCP tight-sleeved layer is used, the LCP material is directly exposed in the application environment, so that the LCP tight-sleeved layer is easy to age and break when in use; and the LCP material has poor mechanical property, so that the single-layer tight-sleeved layer has poor bending property. The invention adopts a double-layer tight sleeve structure, avoids the growth of micro-cracks of LCP, and keeps the temperature drift coefficient, attenuation and mechanical strength of the whole optical cable at the optimum to the maximum extent.
The invention provides a preparation method of a double-layer tight-sleeve phase-stable optical cable, which comprises the following steps:
(1) first extrusion molding: performing extrusion molding on the optical fiber and the first tight-jacketed material through an extruding machine to obtain a one-time extrusion phase-stabilized optical cable;
(1-1) carrying out pre-baking treatment on the first tight sleeve material, and preheating the optical fiber;
(1-2) injecting the prebaked first jacket material obtained in the step (1-1) into an extrusion mold, and extruding the same together with the preheated optical fiber through the extruder;
(1-3) air-cooling the optical fiber with the first tight-buffered layer obtained by extrusion molding in the step (1-2).
(2) Performing second extrusion molding, namely performing extrusion molding on the primary extrusion-molded phase-stable optical cable and the second tight-sleeved layer material obtained in the step (1) through an extruding machine to obtain the double-layer tight-sleeved phase-stable optical cable;
(2-1) carrying out pre-baking treatment on the second tight-sleeved layer material;
