DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] In order to make the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed present application, but only represents selected embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the scope of the present application.

[0022] It should be noted that the terms up, down, left, right, inner, outer, first, second, and the like are used only for descriptive purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the technical features indicated, unless otherwise explicitly and specifically limited.

[0023] Referring to Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the drawings, the solid asphalt coating device disclosed by the present application comprises an asphalt adding area 1 and a melting pool 2 in communication with each other, the asphalt adding area 1 and the melting pool 2 are arranged together on a support 3, and the support 3 serves to support the whole device. A protective plate 4 and an asbestos heat preservation layer 5 are installed around the asphalt adding area 1 and the melting pool 2 on the support 3, the asbestos heat preservation layer 5 serves to preserve heat on the inside, to ensure the temperature in the melting pool 2, to ensure that the asphalt will not solidify after melting due to cold, and the protective plate 4 serves to protect on the outside, to ensure that the asbestos heat preservation layer 5 will not fall off, and to ensure the appearance.

[0024] A heating pipe 6 and a thermocouple 7 are installed in the asphalt adding area 1 and the melting pool 2. As shown in the drawings, a plurality of heating pipes 6 are installed at the bottom of the asphalt adding area 1 and the melting pool 2. A plurality of thermocouples 7 are installed at the four corners and the middle of the asphalt adding area 1 and the melting pool 2. The heating pipe 6 and the thermocouple 7 are connected with a control cabinet 8. The heating pipe 6 is used to heat the solid asphalt, so that it is melted by heat, for subsequent coating. The thermocouple 7 is used to monitor the temperature of the asphalt adding area 1 and the melting pool 2 in real time, and to feed back the measured temperature to the control cabinet 8 in time, and the control cabinet 8 controls whether the heating pipe 6 works or not according to the feedback of the thermocouple 7.

[0025] An arc-shaped soaking pool 9, a first support frame 10, a second support frame 11 and a third support frame 12 are installed in sequence on the melting pool 2. The arc-shaped soaking pool 9 has an arc-shaped groove for cable soaking. Polyurethane scrapers 13, rubber strips 14 and rubber scrapers 15 for scraping asphalt step by step are installed on the first support frame 10, the second support frame 11 and the third support frame 12 respectively. Specifically, the polyurethane scraper 13 has a first scraping hole for the cable to pass through, the middle of the rubber strip 14 can be wrapped into a second scraping hole for the cable to pass through (see Figure 5), the rubber scraper 15 has a third scraping hole for the cable to pass through. The cable to be coated with asphalt first passes through the arc-shaped groove, then passes through the first scraping hole, the second scraping hole and the third scraping hole one by one.

[0026] The asphalt pump 16 is also installed on the melting pool 2, and is used to extract the melted thick asphalt. The inlet pipe of the asphalt pump 16 (not marked in the figure) is inserted into the melting pool 2, and the outlet pipe 17 of the asphalt pump 16 is opposite to the upper part of the arc-shaped soaking pool 9. The asphalt in the melting pool 2 is sucked up by the asphalt pump 16 and then sprayed on the cable passing through the arc-shaped groove.

[0027] Before starting the operation of the device, the solid asphalt is added from the asphalt adding area 1, and the space is large and easy to put. After starting the operation, the control cabinet 8 controls the heating temperature to melt the asphalt, and the melting pool 13 provides sufficient thick molten asphalt for production to ensure the production. During the operation, the cable to be coated with asphalt first passes through the arc-shaped groove of the arc-shaped soaking pool 9. The asphalt pump 16 sucks up the thick molten asphalt in the melting pool 2 and sprays it on the cable passing through the arc-shaped groove to provide sufficient asphalt to cover the surface of the cable and ensure that the surface of the cable is soaked in place to avoid uneven melting during half-way feeding. Then, the cable coated with sufficient asphalt passes through the first scraping hole of the polyurethane scraper 13. Because the polyurethane scraper 13 is relatively hard, the surface of the cable can be roughly scraped to remove excess asphalt. Then, the cable passes through the second scraping hole surrounded by the rubber strip 14 to finely scrape the surface of the cable. Finally, the cable passes through the third scraping hole of the rubber scraper 15. Because the rubber scraper 15 has good elasticity, the cable will drive the rubber scraper 15 to move forward during the forward movement. The third scraping hole is driven to be sleeved on the forward-moving cable to scrape and press the asphalt on the surface of the cable, which can squeeze out possible air bubbles and avoid the phenomena of leakage and virtual filling to ensure that the thickness of the asphalt on the surface of the aluminum sheath is uniform and smooth and bright.

[0028] The key technology of the device is that a layer of asphalt is coated on the surface of the corrugated aluminum sheath during the production of the outer sheath layer of the high-voltage cable to ensure that the outer sheath layer and the aluminum sheath are better attached and do not slide relative to each other, and the asphalt fills the corrugated grooves to reduce the consumption of the sheath layer material. The solid asphalt coating device described in the present application is based on the original high-voltage cable production equipment and is proposed and modified to improve the saturation and brightness of asphalt coating. In addition to retaining the original production function, the device is additionally provided with a solid asphalt melting pool 2, an asphalt pump 16, an arc-shaped soaking pool 9, a polyurethane scraper 13, a rubber strip 14 and a rubber scraper 15, thereby improving the quality of the sheath layer of the high-voltage cable product and increasing the qualified rate of the product.

[0029] The present application provides sufficient thick molten asphalt to ensure the saturation and brightness of the asphalt on the surface of the aluminum sheath layer, improve the quality of the outer sheath layer product, ensure that the corrugated grooves on the surface of the aluminum sheath layer are filled, reduce the consumption of the outer sheath layer material, and ensure that the thickness of the asphalt coating on the surface of the aluminum sheath layer is uniform, smooth and bright.

[0030] The above merely illustrates the embodiments of the present application, and is not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application. It should be noted that, after reading the specification, any equivalent changes made by those skilled in the art according to the design ideas of the present application shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
