This application claims the priority of provisional application No. 61/407744, filed October 28, 2010, the contents of which are the basis of this application and is fully incorporated into this application by reference.
This application is related to provisional application No. 61/330038 for US patent filed April 10, 2010, and to International application PCT / US 2009/058017, filed September 23, 2009, the full contents of both documents are incorporated into this application by reference and U.S. Patent No. 7391943, issued June 24, 2008.
To make fiber connections in a cable, the fibers must be accessible in a protective structure that contains the sheath (upper protective sheath) of the cable. Access inside the cable can be difficult if the cable is designed for maximum fiber protection. In most cases, access to the cable is achieved by the wide use of sharp cutting tools, which can be dangerous if mistreated. In addition to the need to comply with security measures related to access to the cable, the additional time spent on access to the fibers and the connection increases the cost of installing the cable.
US 2006/045443 A1 discloses fiber optic tapes with the ability to simplify tearing of tapes. The scope of fiber optic tapes, components, environmental requirements and functions are generally different from fiber optic cables that can protect and carry optical fiber, such as optical fiber tapes. The solution according to US 2006/045443 A1 is directed to the separation of the subsets of optical fibers in the tape, not providing access to the core of the cable, and, accordingly, inhomogeneities in it are not located and are not performed so as to provide access to the core of the cable. In contrast, the heterogeneities here are removed from the subsets of the optical fiber in the matrix of the tape and are designed to tear the tape to separate the subsets of the optical fibers.
Similarly, EP 0647866 A1 discloses fiber optic tapes or “strips” rather than fiber optic cables, and the features of this solution are aimed at dividing the tape into subsets rather than opening the cable sheath in order to access the core of the cable.
The technical result of the claimed utility model is that the heterogeneity provided therein and the main part of the cable sheath provide the possibility of separating the sheath at the site of heterogeneity in order to provide access to the core, as indicated in independent clause 1.
DISCLOSURE OF A USEFUL MODEL
According to one embodiment, the cable comprises a core and a sheath surrounding the core. The shell may be formed mainly of polymeric materials. The shell contains the main part of the first material and at least one heterogeneity of the second material. The heterogeneity is elongated along the length of the cable and makes it possible to separate the sheath to provide access to the core. Inhomogeneity can be included in the main or main part of the shell. Heterogeneity can continue along the entire length of the cable or over short lengths of cable, which makes it possible to access specific lengths of cable.
In one aspect, the second heterogeneity material may be a polymeric material that is extruded at the same process step as the first sheath material, which can be molded from a polymeric material other than the second material.
According to another aspect, the second material may differ from the first material due to different curing conditions.
According to another aspect, the degree of adhesion between the first sheath material and the second material forming the heterogeneity can be selected from the conditions for obtaining the desired separation characteristics, as well as the properties of the cable sheath. The cohesive strength of the first material and the second material can also be selected from the conditions for obtaining a given separation and the properties of the shell.
According to another aspect, the second material may include selectable amounts of the first material to enhance communication between the main part of the cable sheath and heterogeneities.

IMPLEMENTATION OF A USEFUL MODEL
1 is a cross-sectional view of an optical fiber cable 110 according to a first embodiment. Cable 110 has an optically conductive core 120, first and second reinforcing components 130, and cable sheath 140. The first and second reinforcing components 130 are located on opposite sides with respect to the optical fiber 120 and have axial center lines 134. The core 120 may comprise, for example, one or more optical fibers. In the shown embodiment, the core 120 is a single optical fiber. The core 120 also has an axial center line (not shown) located in the center of its cross section, which in the general case can be aligned with the axial center lines 134 of the reinforcing components 130 along a common plane AA. The orientation of the reinforcing components 130 on a common plane AA partially gives the preferred bending characteristics of the fiber optic cable 110. It is not necessary that the axial center lines of the core 120 or the fibers in the cable 120 are exactly aligned with the plane passing through the axial center lines of the reinforcing components 130, and over the length of the cable 110, they can move away from the plane, for example, up and down, relative to the reinforcing components 130. When this description indicates that the fiber or fibers of the cable “Usually aligned with” or “aligned with” a plane passing through two reinforcing components, it should be understood that the fiber can be slightly offset from the plane, for example, by 0.5 mm in any direction. The shell 140 may be formed mainly of polymeric materials and can usually be called "polymer". In this description, the terms "polymer" and "polymer" include materials, such as, for example, copolymers and polymeric materials, including additives, such as fillers.
In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the cable sheath 140 surrounds and can come into contact with the optical fiber 120 and also surrounds the toughening components 130 and can come into contact with them. The cable sheath 140 has a medial height MN, which is measured as the height or thickness of the sheath in the medial or central region 146 of the cable cross-section, while the medial region 146 is a portion of the sheath 140 located between the reinforcing elements 130. The medial height MN can also be defined as the height cable along the center line of the optical fiber or group of optical fibers or the height in the longitudinal bisector plane of the cable 110. The medial height MN can be measured between flat or relative about flat opposite medial surfaces 148 of the medial region 146 extending above and below the core 120. The end or total height EH of the cable sheath 140 is measured as the thickness of the sheath 140 at the cable cross-section end sections 150 extending above and below the center line of each reinforcing component 130. B In exemplary embodiments, the end height EH corresponds to the total height of the cable. In exemplary embodiments, the end portions 150 extend outward from the medial region 146 and have generally circular cross sections. A certain amount of adhesion promoter 154 may be placed on the reinforcing components 130 to facilitate connection with the cable sheath 140. As shown, the disclosed adhesion promoters in this description and in the drawings give the impression of separating cable sheaths from reinforcing components. In this description, the reinforcing component is considered to be “in contact” with the cable sheath if the adhesion promoter is located between the reinforcing component and the cable sheath to facilitate bonding between them.
The cross-sectional contour 160, or cross-sectional area, of the optical fiber cable 110 can be significantly smaller than the cross-sectional contours of conventional optical fiber cables of the same kind. For example, the cross-sectional area 160 may be less than about 25 mm 2 . According to one embodiment, the cross-sectional area 160 is in the range of 8 mm 2 to 22 mm 2 . According to another embodiment, the cross-sectional area 160 is in the range of 10 mm 2 to 18 mm 2 . The area AJ of the polymeric material forming the shell 140 may be less than 13 mm 2 . In the shown embodiment, the medial height MN is less than the end height EH on the reinforcing components 130. As discussed in more detail below, in order to preserve the optical characteristics, embossed or recessed portions 158 are provided on the cable sheath 140, which reduce the fiber stresses in the core 120. The height ratio for cable 110 is defined as the ratio of the medial height MH to the end height EH or MH / EH. According to one embodiment of the utility model, the height ratio is less than 0.95, is in the range of 0.5-0.95. Typical cable 110 has a total width W in the range of about 3-6 mm. The radii R1 of the end portions 150 may be in the range of about 1-2 mm. The radii R2 of the reinforcing components 130 may be in the range of about 0.35-0.9 mm. The separation distance S1 of the axes 134 of the reinforcing elements may be in the range of about 1.9-2.6 mm.
According to one aspect of the present embodiment, the sheath 140 includes a tear-off element that facilitates access to the core 120. In an exemplary embodiment, the tear-off element is a pair of inhomogeneities 180 that extend along the length of cable 110, with one inhomogeneity located above the core 120 and one is located below the core 120. Inhomogeneities 180 make it easier to separate the sheath 140 near the core 120, so that the sheath 140 can be removed along the center line of the cable 110. Therefore, to the hearts 120 and the fiber (s) located in it can be easily accessed by dividing the cable along the break lines formed on the inhomogeneities 180. In this description, the term “heterogeneity” refers to a part of the sheath 140 from another, second material composition, unlike the main part 184 of the shell 140 made of the first material. The main body 184 of the sheath 140 may be a substantially solid extruded polymer coating surrounding and in contact with the core 120, the reinforcing components 130, and the inhomogeneities 180. The main part 184 is also elongated between the reinforcing components 130 and the core 120. The inhomogeneities 180 extend longitudinally through the main part 184 along the entire length of the cable 110. The inhomogeneities that extend along the entire length of the cable 110 are effective in providing access to the core 120. However, shorter lengths of heterogeneities can also be effective. For example, heterogeneities along the length of the cable having at least 10 cm lengths can be effective.
In an exemplary embodiment, the heterogeneities 180 are associated with the core 184 of the sheath 140 by extrusion of the sheath. The main body 184 and the inhomogeneities 180 can be formed from extrudable polymers, so that when the extrudates used to form the main body 184 and the inhomogeneities 180 are cooled and solidified, the extrudates become bound to a predetermined degree. When inhomogeneities 180 are formed by extrusion of the main body part 184 of the shell, the relationship between the heterogeneity 180 and the rest of the shell 140 can be described in general terms as being provided by the interweaving of the polymer chains during curing of the shell 140. The degree of bond between the main part of the shell and the material in the heterogeneity 180, cohesion of the first and second materials and the shape of the inhomogeneity 180 can be selected from the conditions for obtaining the desired characteristics of the separation on the inhomogeneities 180. In accordance with this, the shell 140 may contain a cohesive, integral, composite polymer structure. The interface between the body 184 and the inhomogeneities 180 may include transition regions between the materials of the body 184 and the inhomogeneities 180. The inhomogeneity can be extruded into the body 184 of the shell 140 at any location so that an access point can be formed. In the shown embodiment, the heterogeneities 180 are located at a small distance from the core 120, and both heterogeneities 180 are completely covered or surrounded by the main part 184 of the sheath 140. In embodiments, the heterogeneities can extend to the outer boundary of the cable sheath or to the outer boundary of the core.
As shown in FIG. 1, inhomogeneities 180 may be relatively narrow strips in the shell 140 and may occupy relatively small portions of the cross-sectional area AJ of the shell. For example, heterogeneities 180 may have cross-sectional areas A D that are less than 10% AJ, and even less than 5% AJ. In the embodiment shown, the inhomogeneities 180 have cross-sectional areas A D that are less than 2% AJ. 1, two inhomogeneities 180 are formed in the shell 140 to facilitate detachment of the shell 140. Depending on the shape of the core 120, the number, arrangement, configuration, composition, and other aspects of the inhomogeneities 180 may vary. For example, a single heterogeneity in the sheath 140 may be sufficient to be able to detach the sheath 140 of the cable from the core 120.
2A-2C, heterogeneities 180 are shown in more detail. FIG. 2B is a partial view of one of the heterogeneities 180 in the sheath 180. With respect to FIG. 2B, the heterogeneity 180 may have a maximum width A, height B, and distance D from the center line to the core 120. The distance from the top surface of the cable to the core 120 is C. According to one aspect, the A: B ratio is in the range of 1: 4 to 1: 100. Typically, low A: B ratios that indicate narrower heterogeneities are advantageous in cable cross-sections shown in FIGS. 2A-2C. With such inhomogeneities, it becomes possible to increase the stress concentration at the base of the inhomogeneity and, as a result, rupture the main material of the shell. The B: C ratio shown is about 1: 2, and it shows that the height of the heterogeneity is about half the thickness of the shell between the core and the top of the central portion of the shell. The ratio B: C is selected from the condition of easy access to the core and maintaining sufficient stability of the cable 110 and should vary depending on such indicators as the fracture toughness of the material of the main part 184, the relationship between the inhomogeneities 180 and the main part 184, and other indicators. According to one embodiment, the ratio B: C is at least 1: 4 or, in other words, B is at least 1/4 of the thickness C of the sheath in the center line of the cable.
The ratio of adhesive strength between the first material of the main part 184 and the second material of the inhomogeneities 180 is also an indicator in determining the shape and composition of the inhomogeneities. The ratio of the cohesive strength of the second material to the adhesive strength between the first and second materials (ratio A) can be, for example, in the range from 1:20 to 20: 1. 3 shows various adhesion ratios. With a ratio of 1:20 of the cohesive strength of the heterogeneity 180 to the adhesive strength, there will be very little cohesive strength on the inside of the second material compared to the adhesion between the two materials, therefore, the gap will occur in the second material. A ratio of 20: 1 indicates a relatively strong adhesion of the second material compared to the adhesive bond between the materials, therefore, the gap will occur at the interface between the main part 184 and the heterogeneity 180. In the embodiment shown, the adhesion ratio is at least 4: 1. With this rupture of the material or bond, it is possible to increase a sufficient concentration of stresses at the end of the inhomogeneity 180 and therefore the rupture of the first material. The ratio of the strength of the first material to the adhesion between the first and second materials (ratio B) can be, for example, in the range from 20: 1 to 400: 1. The ratio B in the range from 1: 1 to 20: 1 will obey a linear relationship with the ratio A within the ratio A established above.
The materials and processes used to form the main body 184 and the inhomogeneities 180 can be selected from the condition of relatively easy access to the core 120 by tearing off the sheath 140. Cable 110 can be designed to meet other requirements in terms of stability, such as the requirements for the absence of damage to the sheath 140 when tensile loads, torsion, temperature changes, and to meet the criteria when the cable is subjected to other known tests, for example, in accordance with ICEA 460 and GR20. According to the shown embodiment, the main part 184 in the shown shell 140 is extruded from medium density polyethylene (MESP), and the inhomogeneities 180 are extruded from a second material, mainly from polypropylene (PP). Shell 140 is formed by co-extrusion, so that the main body 184 and inhomogeneities 180 combine during cooling to form strong bonds. The cable sheath 140 may be stable, although relatively small pulling forces are sufficient to shear or break the sheath 140 along the inhomogeneities 180. The applicant believes that the connection between the heterogeneity polypropylene and the main polyethylene can be created by adding selected amounts of ethylene introduced into the polypropylene heterogeneity. It is believed that the amounts of polyethylene in the heterogeneity 180 are associated with the polyethylene of the main part 184, and also lead to molecular weaving between the polyethylene and polypropylene. In accordance with this understanding, the amount of ethylene in the polypropylene extrudate used to form the inhomogeneities 180 can be increased to enhance the bond between the inhomogeneities and the rest of the sheath 140.
In general, if the main body 184 is formed from a first extrudable polymer material, and the inhomogeneities 180 are formed from a second extrudable polymer material, the inhomogeneities may include 0.5 to 20 wt.% Of the first polymer material. In one embodiment, the thin film heterogeneity comprises polypropylene with about 9% polyethylene. Higher polyethylene contents, for example up to 20% polyethylene, are also possible. Polyethylene content in polypropylene below 0.2% can lead to insufficient connection between the main part and heterogeneity. In one embodiment, the first polymeric material consists of at least 80 wt.% Of the first polymer, and the second extrudable polymeric material consists of at least 70 wt.% Of the second polymer and at least 0.5 wt.% Of the first polymer. In this embodiment, the first polymer may be polyethylene and the second polymer may be polypropylene.
Joint extrusion of inhomogeneities 180 and main portion 184 can be successfully performed after modifying the conventional extrusion head used, for example, for cables disclosed in PCT / US 2009/058017. The extrusion head is modified by adding one or more holes throughout the extrusion head, which allow the second molten extrudate material to be introduced into the molten first extrudate used to form the first part 184 of the shell 140. The first and second extrudate materials are cooled and solidified together and a given degree of bond is obtained between the first part and heterogeneity. According to the present embodiment, the first and second extrudate materials can be introduced into the extrusion die and extruded therethrough so that the inhomogeneities and the first part of the sheath will be coextruded in the same place.
4A-4C show an embodiment of an annular shell 440 according to a second embodiment. Sheath 440 is suitable for use in cables with circular cross-section, similar to the cables disclosed in provisional application No. 61/330038 for US patent. Sheath 440 includes two heterogeneities 480 that can be used as break points at which sheath 440 can be separated from the core of the cable, as shown in provisional application No. 61/330038 for US patent, from the armor or from another component of the cable. The main body 484 of the sheath 440 may be a substantially solid extruded polymer coating into which inhomogeneities 480 are completely embedded.
In an exemplary embodiment, the inhomogeneities 480 bind to the main body 484 of the sheath 440 by extruding the sheath 440. The main body 484 and the inhomogeneities 480 can be formed from extrudable polymers so that when the two extrudate materials used to form the main body 484 and the inhomogeneities 480 are cooled and solidified , the extrudates become bound to a predetermined degree. When the inhomogeneities 480 are formed by extrusion of the main part 484 of the shell, the relationship between the heterogeneity 480 and the rest of the shell 480 can generally be described as provided by the interweaving of the polymer chains during curing of the shell 440. The degree of bond can be selected from the condition of ensuring the desired separation properties on the inhomogeneities 480. Accordingly, sheath 440 may comprise a cohesive, integral, composite polymer structure. The heterogeneity can be extruded into the main body 484 of the sheath 440 anywhere so that an access point can be formed. In the embodiment shown, inhomogeneities 480 are located on opposite sides of the annular shell 440, so that the shell can be torn in half and removed. Both heterogeneities 480 are completely included in the main part 484 of the shell 440 or surrounded by it.
As shown in FIG. 4A, the inhomogeneities 480 may be relatively narrow strips in the shell 440 and may occupy relatively small portions of the cross-sectional area AJ of the shell. For example, heterogeneities 480 may have cross-sectional areas AD that are less than 10% AJ, and even less than 5% AJ. In the embodiment shown, the inhomogeneities 480 have cross-sectional areas AD that are less than 2% AJ.
As for figv, the heterogeneity 480 may have a maximum width A, height B and a distance D from the center to the inner edge of the shell 440. The thickness of the shell 440 is C. According to one aspect, the ratio A: B sizes ranges from 1: 4 to 1: 100. Typically, low A: B ratios that indicate narrower heterogeneities are beneficial. The B: C ratio shown is about 2: 3, and it shows that the height of the heterogeneity is about 2/3 of the shell thickness. The ratio B: C is selected from the condition of easy access to the core and maintaining sufficient stability of the cable 410 and should vary depending on such indicators as the fracture toughness of the material of the main part 484, the relationship between the inhomogeneities 480 and the main part 484, and other indicators. In one embodiment, the ratio B: C is at least 1: 3, or, in other words, B is at least 1/3 of the thickness C of the shell.
According to the shown embodiment, the main part 484 in the shown sheath 440 is extruded from medium density polyethylene (MESP), and the inhomogeneities 480 are extruded from a material consisting mainly of polypropylene (PP) with small amounts of medium density polyethylene mixed thereto. Shell 440 is molded by co-extrusion, so that the main body 484 and inhomogeneities 480 combine during cooling to form relatively strong bonds. Cable sheath 440 may be stable, although relatively small pulling forces are sufficient to shear sheath 440 along inhomogeneities 480.
Joint extrusion of inhomogeneities 480 and main portion 484 can be successfully performed after modification of a conventional extrusion die. The extrusion head is modified by adding one or more holes throughout the extrusion head, which allow the introduction of the second, molten extrudate material into the molten first extrudate used to form the main body 484 of the shell 440. The first and second extrudate materials are cooled and cured together, and a given degree is obtained the relationship between the main part and heterogeneity. According to the present embodiment, the first and second extrudate materials can be introduced into the extrusion die and extruded through it.
The main parts of the cable sheath and heterogeneities discussed in this description can be made of various polymeric materials. The bulk or heterogeneity may be made of polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE) or mixtures of materials, such as a mixture of polyethylene and ethylene vinyl acetate, a flame retardant material such as flame retardant polyethylene, flame retardant polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) filled materials, such as polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polycarbonate and / or polyethylene (PE), and / or ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), or other mixtures of them having fillers like chalk, talc or the like, and other materials, t such as acrylates that are UV-curable.
The terms "polymer" and "polymer", as used in this description, mean extrudable materials, consisting mainly of polymers, but allowing the inclusion of, for example, fillers.
In general, the necessary separation characteristics disclosed in this description can be obtained by co-extrusion of inhomogeneities and the main body of the shell from various materials. In one embodiment, the inhomogeneities may be made of the same material as the rest of the shell, but may be different, for example, curing conditions.
Numerous modifications and other embodiments within the scope of the utility model formula should be apparent to those skilled in the art. For example, the concepts of the present utility model can be used for any suitable fiber optic cable design and / or manufacturing option.
