Description
本申请要求于2020年9月4日提交中国专利局、申请号为202010921417.7、发明名称为“一种螺旋微槽型气吹微缆、制造设备及制造方法”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
本申请涉及通信光缆技术领域,尤其涉及一种螺旋微槽型气吹微缆、制造设备及制造方法。
随着光通信行业的不断发展,电信运营商对于网络的扩容越来越频繁。在光纤通信网络建设上,由于传统的通信光缆的结构外径较大,重量较重,在管道布放时需要占用大量的空间,致使管道的利用率比较低,所以敷设光缆的管道资源变得越来越紧张,原有的管道资源已经很难满足光缆网络扩建的需求。有人提出了新建通信管道的解决方案,然而这种方案又面临着花费资金成本高,施工难度高以及还会对公共设施造成一定的破坏的问题,所以气吹微型光缆(简称为气吹微缆)的应用价值越来越引起电信运营商的重视。
气吹微缆与传统光缆相比,相同芯数的微缆在成缆材料用量及加工费用大大降低,结构尺寸小,质量轻,光纤密度高。在敷设时,采用高压气流吹送的方式可直接将气吹微缆吹放到现有的通信管道中,大大增加了管道的利用率,有效地节省了管道资源,满足网络扩容的建设需求,同时气吹敷设方便快捷,可有效缩短工程建设周期。
目前,气吹微缆一般采用高密度聚乙烯材料作为其外护层,虽然在理论设计下采用高压气流吹送的方式可实现1000m~2000m距离的吹送,但是由于在实际吹送过程中气吹微缆会与管壁产生接触,而高密度聚乙烯有相对较大的摩擦系数,使得气吹微缆的前进阻力相对较大,限制了光缆的气吹距离。
因此,如何提升气吹微缆的气吹距离是气吹微缆的发展方向,也是本 领域技术人员需要攻克的技术难题。

需要说明的是,所述缆芯包括中心加强件、垫层、扎纱层、套管阻水物质、缆芯阻水物质、若干个套管以及包覆于所述套管内的若干光纤,该步骤S301涉及缆芯成型的各个工艺,比如:
(1)对光纤进行着色;
着色工序通过合理控制光纤收放线张力,精确控制UV固化灯的光功率,使得光纤着色后各项指标符合工艺和技术要求;
(2)将着色后的光纤分别送入到套管内;
套管工序通过选用合适的挤出模具,均匀控制材料挤塑量,在套管内填充一定量的套管阻水物质,比如纤膏,采用特定的水温和张力设置,满足套管外径和光纤余长要求;
(3)在扎纱层的捆扎下,将多个套管均匀分布地围绕在中心加强件的外周,然后绞合形成缆芯,在此过程中,同时在扎纱层的内部填充一定量的缆芯阻水物质,比如缆膏;
中心加强件采用常规高碳钢丝。
S302、通过挤塑机头将外护层料经由流道挤塑在所述缆芯的外表面,挤塑过程中模套在电机的带动下匀速旋转,从而在所述缆芯的外表面形成具有螺旋槽的外护层。
需要说明的是,所述模芯和模套的内部均设有从前端到后端贯穿的通道,外护层成型的过程中,缆芯放入在该通道内,挤塑机头产生的外护层料会进入模芯与模套之间的流道,然后从模套的齿形开口挤出在缆芯的外表面上,在此过程中,模套均匀旋转;外护层成型后经过冷却水槽冷却,然后在牵引机的牵引下通过收线机进行收线。
本发明实施例提供的一种气吹微缆制造方法,通过使具有齿形开口的模套在挤塑的同时进行匀速旋转,使得所述缆芯的外表面可形成具有螺旋槽的外护层,既保证了气吹微缆原性能不变,又实现在敷设时高压气流能够均匀包裹气吹微缆而使气吹微缆始终保持在管道中心,减小与管壁在传 送过程中的摩擦,气吹阻力得以减小,有效提高了气吹微缆的吹送距离,具有较高的推广应用价值。
至此,以说明和描述的目的提供上述实施例的描述。不意指穷举或者限制本公开。特定的实施例的单独元件或者特征通常不受到特定的实施例的限制,但是在适用时,即使没有具体地示出或者描述,其可以互换和用于选定的实施例。在许多方面,相同的元件或者特征也可以改变。这种变化不被认为是偏离本公开,并且所有的这种修改意指为包括在本公开的范围内。
提供示例实施例,从而本公开将变得透彻,并且将会完全地将该范围传达至本领域内技术人员。为了透彻理解本公开的实施例,阐明了众多细节,诸如特定零件、装置和方法的示例。显然,对于本领域内技术人员,不需要使用特定的细节,示例实施例可以以许多不同的形式实施,而且两者都不应当解释为限制本公开的范围。在某些示例实施例中,不对公知的工序、公知的装置结构和公知的技术进行详细地描述。
在此,仅为了描述特定的示例实施例的目的使用专业词汇,并且不是意指为限制的目的。除非上下文清楚地作出相反的表示,在此使用的单数形式“一个”和“该”可以意指为也包括复数形式。术语“包括”和“具有”是包括在内的意思,并且因此指定存在所声明的特征、整体、步骤、操作、元件和/或组件,但是不排除存在或额外地具有一个或以上的其他特征、整体、步骤、操作、元件、组件和/或其组合。除非明确地指示了执行的次序,在此描述的该方法步骤、处理和操作不解释为一定需要按照所论述和示出的特定的次序执行。还应当理解的是,可以采用附加的或者可选择的步骤。
当元件或者层称为是“在……上”、“与……接合”、“连接到”或者“联接到”另一个元件或层,其可以是直接在另一个元件或者层上、与另一个元件或层接合、连接到或者联接到另一个元件或层,也可以存在介于其间的元件或者层。与此相反,当元件或层称为是“直接在……上”、“与……直接接合”、“直接连接到”或者“直接联接到”另一个元件或层,则可能不存在介于其间的元件或者层。其他用于描述元件关系的词应当以类似的 方式解释(例如,“在……之间”和“直接在……之间”、“相邻”和“直接相邻”等)。在此使用的术语“和/或”包括该相关联的所罗列的项目的一个或以上的任一和所有的组合。虽然此处可能使用了术语第一、第二、第三等以描述各种的元件、组件、区域、层和/或部分,这些元件、组件、区域、层和/或部分不受到这些术语的限制。这些术语可以只用于将一个元件、组件、区域或部分与另一个元件、组件、区域或部分区分。除非由上下文清楚地表示,在此使用诸如术语“第一”、“第二”及其他数值的术语不意味序列或者次序。因此,在下方论述的第一元件、组件、区域、层或者部分可以采用第二元件、组件、区域、层或者部分的术语而不脱离该示例实施例的教导。
空间的相对术语,诸如“内”、“外”、“在下面”、“在……的下方”、“下部”、“上方”、“上部”等,在此可出于便于描述的目的使用,以描述如图中所示的一个元件或者特征和另外一个或多个元件或者特征之间的关系。空间的相对术语可以意指包含除该图描绘的取向之外该装置的不同的取向。例如如果翻转该图中的装置,则描述为“在其他元件或者特征的下方”或者“在元件或者特征的下面”的元件将取向为“在其他元件或者特征的上方”。因此,示例术语“在……的下方”可以包含朝上和朝下的两种取向。该装置可以以其他方式取向(旋转90度或者其他取向)并且以此处的空间的相对描述解释。
