WORKING-STATE CABLE PROTECTION MONITORING SYSTEM, WORKING-STATE CABLE PROTECTION MONITORING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM HAVING STORED THEREIN WORKING-STATE CABLE PROTECTION MONITORING PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18010329 Titled 'WORKING-STATE CABLE PROTECTION MONITORING SYSTEM, WORKING-STATE CABLE PROTECTION MONITORING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM HAVING STORED THEREIN WORKING-STATE CABLE PROTECTION MONITORING PROGRAM'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a system designed to prevent further damage to a cable when it breaks during work. The system includes a device that moves or installs a cable-like material containing an optical fiber, which can sense the environment at different positions along the cable. An interrogator collects this environmental information. If the information matches an abnormal pattern, an abnormal event is detected, and the device stops moving or installing the cable-like material.


Original Abstract Submitted

To suppress expansion of damage to a working-state cable due to work being continued without detecting breakage of the working-state cable when the breakage occurs, the working-state cable protection monitoring system is provided with: a working means that moves or installs a wire cable-shaped construction material including an optical fiber having at least one core; an interrogator that acquires environment information about each position of the construction material, sensed by the optical fiber; and an abnormal event detection means that, when the environment information acquired at each position of the construction material satisfies an abnormal pattern, detects an abnormal event at the position, where in the working means stops movement and installment of the wire cable-shaped construction material when the abnormal event has been detected.
