DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The preferred embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present application, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application.

[0019] The present application provides an extruder for cable insulation layer, the extruder 4 extrudes the insulation material through the machine head 10 and the discharge port 16 to the die, the conductor passes through the die to make the insulation layer cover the outside of the conductor, the extrusion temperature of the PVC material outer layer is 120-160 degrees Celsius, the extrusion temperature of the core material is 130-190 degrees Celsius, the extrusion temperature of the PP / PE material is 150-230 degrees Celsius, the extrusion temperature of the cross-linked polyethylene material is 130-200 degrees Celsius, the heat exchange mechanism is arranged on the outer wall of the machine head 10 of the extruder 4, so that the temperature at the machine head 10 is reduced by 10-20 degrees Celsius, the raw material is slightly cooled by the extruder 4 through the machine head 10 to ensure the compactness of the insulation material, and then discharged to the die through the discharge port 16, the ceramic sleeve 17 with a heater is arranged at the die, and the heater heats the ceramic sleeve 17 to a temperature higher than the raw material of the machine head by 15-25 degrees Celsius, so as to improve the gloss of the surface of the coated insulation layer.

[0020] The heat exchange mechanism is composed of the heat exchange sleeve 11 sleeved on the outer wall of the machine head 10 and the heat-conducting copper wire 15, the heat exchange sleeve 11 is made of nano-porous copper alloy, the gap between the heat exchange sleeve 11 and the machine head 10 is filled with heat-conducting silicone grease, and the inside of the heat exchange sleeve 11 is filled with heat-conducting oil, the liquid level of the heat-conducting oil is higher than the highest point of the machine head 10, one end of the heat-conducting copper wire 15 is inserted into the inside of the heat exchange sleeve 11 and immersed in the heat-conducting oil, and during assembly, the heat-conducting copper wire 15 is deformed to fill the gap between the heat-conducting copper wire 15 and the heat exchange sleeve 11 by the ductility of pure copper, the heat is transferred to the heat-conducting copper wire 15 through the heat-conducting oil and the heat exchange sleeve 11 made of porous nano-copper alloy, and the end of the heat-conducting copper wire 15 away from the heat exchange sleeve 11 is arranged in a spiral shape, which can ensure the contact area between the heat-conducting copper wire 15 and the medium.

[0021] The heat-conducting oil is synthetic heat-conducting oil, and the specific heat capacity is 2.0-2.4 kj / (kg·℃), which can ensure the stability and heat transfer of the machine head 10.

[0022] The inner wall of the heat exchange sleeve 11 is provided with a plurality of annular protrusions capable of increasing the contact area, so as to ensure the efficiency of heat transfer.

[0023] The insulation layer is still in a molten state after being coated, and needs to be cooled and shaped immediately by a cooling water tank. A high-temperature water tank 8 and a normal-temperature water tank 9 are arranged in the cooling water tank 7. The high-temperature water tank 8 is close to the extruder 4. The insulation layer is cooled slowly in the high-temperature water tank 8 to avoid sharp shrinkage, and then is cooled and shaped completely in the normal-temperature water tank 9.

[0024] The valve body above the normal-temperature water tank 9 is directly communicated with the water supply pump to supply normal-temperature water. The valve body above the high-temperature water tank 8 needs to supply water with a slightly higher temperature. In order to reduce energy consumption and save energy, the supplied water needs to exchange heat in the heat exchange mechanism before flowing into the high-temperature water tank 8. The water supplied by the water supply pump enters the heat exchange water tank 5 through the channel above the water distributor 6. One end of the heat-conducting copper wire 15 is inserted into the heat exchange water tank to heat the supplied water. The heated water flows into the high-temperature water tank 8 through the channel below the water distributor 6.

[0025] The heat-conducting copper wire 15 is installed on the heat exchange water tank 5 through the fixed sleeve 14. The outer wall of the heat-conducting copper wire 15 exposed to the outside is wrapped with a high-temperature-resistant rubber ring 13.

[0026] Before the conductor passes through the extruder 4, the conductor is preheated by the conductor preheater 1 to avoid a large temperature difference between the conductor and the extruded insulation layer, so that better adhesion between the conductor and the insulation layer can be formed.

[0027] A wire routing rack 2 is arranged between the conductor preheater 1 and the extruder 4 to adjust the height of the conductor entering and exiting, so that the conductor can better connect between different devices. An infrared temperature measuring instrument 3 is arranged at the outlet end of the wire routing rack 2 to measure the temperature of the conductor before passing through the extruder 4, so that the preheating temperature curve of the conductor preheater can be dynamically adjusted and the temperature can be adjusted in real time. Since the adhesion rate of the insulation layer is improved, the rate of conductor conveying is also correspondingly improved, so that the production capacity is improved.
