Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cables, and more specifically, to a cable structure resistant to high dose radiation. Background Technology
[0002] There are many types of cables used in nuclear power plants, and they are generally classified in two ways: one is according to the function of the cable, including power cables, control cables, instrumentation cables, communication cables, and compensating cables; the other is according to the safety level. Nuclear power plant cables belong to the 1E safety level and should have a service life of more than 40 years. 1E class cables can be further divided into K1 class cables (withstanding 850 kGy radiation) and K2 class cables (withstanding 250 kGy radiation) according to the safety category of the nuclear power plant's electrical system equipment.
[0003] The development of nuclear power has received strong support, and the technologies used in my country's nuclear power plants are constantly being updated. Consequently, the requirements for cables used in nuclear power plants are also constantly evolving. Since the advent of AP1000 (larger pressurized water reactor nuclear power plant) third-generation nuclear power technology, cables for nuclear power plants have been divided into containment cables and containment cables. Containment cables, in addition to meeting all the performance requirements of K1 category cables, must also meet the high radiation dose requirement of 2750 kGy and a service life of 60 years. However, with the increasing safety levels of nuclear power plants, the safety requirements for cables have also increased, especially the radiation dose resistance requirements. Therefore, higher demands are placed on the cable structure, materials, and manufacturing processes.
[0004] Application publication number CN104464924A discloses a novel high-dose radiation-resistant cable structure for use inside the containment of nuclear power plants, including a conductor, an insulator, a wrapping tape, an oxygen barrier layer, a shielding layer, and an outer sheath. The insulator wraps the conductor and is then wrapped by the wrapping tape. The oxygen barrier layer wraps the wrapping tape, the shielding layer wraps the oxygen barrier layer, and the outer sheath wraps the shielding layer. It also includes a polyimide tape wrapped around the insulator. When wrapping the polyimide tape, a portion of the upper layer is covered by a portion of the lower layer. This novel high-dose radiation-resistant cable is suitable for use inside the containment of nuclear power plants.
[0005] In the above-disclosed structure, a layer of wrapping tape is simply connected inside the cable to improve radiation resistance. However, the lack of a corresponding filling layer and connection structure inside affects the stability of the connection of multiple wire cores and the service life. Furthermore, the lack of a corresponding sealing layer and reinforcing strip on the surface fails to provide surface protection, affecting the performance. A new structure needs to be proposed for improvement. Utility Model Content
[0006] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a high-dose radiation resistant cable structure. By wrapping an radiation-resistant layer inside the cable protective layer and combining it with a filler layer to connect the insulation layer and the wire core, the internal structural strength and stability can be guaranteed, improving the safety of cable use. Furthermore, by connecting the surface sealing layer and reinforcing strips, the cable can be reinforced and combined, and it is also beneficial for surface auxiliary support, improving the safety of installation and use, facilitating assembly and processing, and making connection and use convenient.
[0007] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.
[0008] A high-dose radiation-resistant cable structure includes a cable protective layer, an irradiation-resistant layer fixedly connected inside the cable protective layer, a filling hole on the surface of the irradiation-resistant layer, a filling layer fixedly filled inside the irradiation-resistant layer, a filling head formed on the outer surface of the filling layer, the filling head fixedly connected to the inside of the filling hole, an insulation layer fixedly embedded inside the filling layer, a wire core fixedly embedded inside the insulation layer, the insulation layer and the wire core fixedly embedded inside the filling layer, a connecting strip fixedly connected to the outer surface of the insulation layer, the connecting strip fixedly embedded inside the filling layer, an encapsulation layer fixedly wrapped around the outer surface of the cable protective layer, a reinforcing strip fixedly embedded inside the encapsulation layer, the reinforcing strip fixedly connected to the outer surface of the cable protective layer, and a heat-sealing protrusion on the outer surface of the encapsulation layer fixedly wrapped around the outer surface of the reinforcing strip.
[0009] Furthermore, the filling holes and filling heads are distributed at equal angles on the outer circular surface of the radiation-resistant layer and are equally spaced along the length direction.
[0010] Furthermore, there are at least five insulating layers and wire cores, which are uniformly connected at equal angles inside the filling layer.
[0011] Furthermore, the filling layer is formed by heat-resistant foam filling and is uniformly wrapped around the outer surface of the insulation layer. By distributing the insulation layer and filling head at equal intervals, they can be combined, connected and positioned to ensure uniformity. Moreover, the filling is carried out through the filling holes without interference, which facilitates the control of the process.
[0012] Furthermore, the encapsulation layer adopts a heat-sealing structure and is completely wrapped and connected to the outer surface of the cable protection layer.
[0013] Furthermore, there are three reinforcing strips, which are evenly distributed at equal angles on the outer circumference of the cable protection layer.
[0014] Furthermore, the reinforcing strip is made of nylon fiber and its length is consistent with that of the cable protective layer. By distributing three reinforcing strips at equal intervals, the surface can be further supported, avoiding surface wear, improving structural strength, and ensuring service life and stability.
[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:
[0016] (1) This solution can ensure the strength and stability of the internal structure by wrapping the radiation-resistant layer inside the cable protection layer and connecting the insulation layer and the wire core with the filling layer, thereby improving the safety of cable use. Furthermore, by connecting the sealing layer and reinforcing strip on the surface, the cable can be reinforced and combined, which is conducive to surface auxiliary support, improving the safety of installation and use, facilitating assembly and processing, and making connection and use convenient.
[0017] (2) By distributing the insulating layer and filling head at equal intervals, they can be combined and positioned to ensure uniformity. Furthermore, the filling is done through the filling holes without interference, making it convenient to control the processing.
[0018] (3) By distributing three reinforcing strips at equal intervals, the surface can be supported to avoid surface wear, improve structural strength, and ensure service life and stability. Attached Figure Description

The outer surface of the encapsulation layer 2 is provided with heat-sealing protrusions 22, which are fixedly wrapped around the outer surface of the reinforcing strip 21. The wire core 16 is connected through the insulation layer 15 and combined with the connecting strip 17 for reinforcement. It is also uniformly embedded inside the filling layer 13, which can ensure the internal uniformity and strength and improve the safety of use.
