[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention addresses the shortcomings and deficiencies of existing technologies by independently developing and designing a silicone wire manufacturing process that utilizes simultaneous extrusion of double-layer silicone to achieve inner and outer double-layer silicone coating. This process protects the internal wire while improving heat resistance. The material ratio of the inner and outer silicone layers ensures stable operation at 250℃. The invention also includes the silicone wire and its manufacturing mold. Compared to traditional silicone wires, this invention achieves simultaneous extrusion and coating of the inner and outer silicone layers through the manufacturing mold, effectively improving the efficiency of silicone layer manufacturing while simultaneously achieving double silicone layer coating. During the simultaneous extrusion of the double silicone layers, the open structure at the front and rear of the mold's protrusions allows the braided bulletproof wire layer to be woven over the continuously extruded inner silicone layer before simultaneously completing the outer silicone layer. The double silicone layers protect the internal wire, improving heat resistance, while the centrally braided bulletproof wire layer stabilizes the flexible shape and structure of the inner and outer silicone layers, enhancing the overall tensile strength of the double silicone layers.

[0017] Specifically, the silicone wire manufactured in this invention comprises eight layers from the inside out: a nickel-copper plated sensing wire, a bulletproof wire filler wire, a PTFE sintered tape layer, an anti-interference shielding layer, an inner silicone layer, a bulletproof wire braided layer, and an outer silicone layer. The nickel-copper plated sensing wire is a wire structure formed by twisting at least two strands of nickel-copper plated wire. The surface of the nickel-copper plated sensing wire is covered with a PFA insulation layer, which is formed by high-temperature extrusion of PFA material onto the surface of the nickel-copper plated sensing wire. The bulletproof wire filler wire is formed by filling the outside of two parallel nickel-copper plated sensing wires. The system comprises at least two bulletproof wires twisted together to form a filament; a PTFE sintered tape layer is formed by wrapping a flexible PTFE tape around the surface of the bulletproof wire filling filament; an anti-interference shielding layer is formed by weaving anti-interference material onto the surface of the PTFE sintered tape layer; an inner silicone layer and an outer silicone layer are extruded at high temperature using a synchronous extrusion process through a mold; the inner silicone layer is extruded and covers the anti-interference shielding layer, and its surface is woven with a bulletproof wire braided layer; the outer silicone layer is synchronously extruded and covers the surface of the bulletproof wire braided layer. The invention comprises the following components: 1. The sensing wire is made of nickel-plated copper, which is resistant to high temperatures; 2. The wire insulation layer is extruded with PFA (polyvinyl fluoride copolymer), which has excellent chemical resistance, corrosion resistance, high temperature stability, oxidation resistance, and low viscosity; 3. Bulletproof wire is used to fill the wire, protecting it from tensile and bending stresses; 4. PTFE sintered tape is used to fix the sensing wire; 5. Nickel-plated copper braided shielding resists magnetic field interference and meets the 250℃ requirement; 6. Food-grade silicone rubber is used for vulcanization, with a certain proportion of heat-resistant agent added, which meets the 250℃ operating conditions; 7. The outer silicone layer is extruded in two stages, with a fine bulletproof mesh woven in the middle to ensure no deformation under high temperature conditions; 8. The surface of the silicone wire is treated with gamma rays for surface activation (photomodification process), reducing the surface viscosity and friction of the outer silicone layer. In terms of manufacturing process, this invention uses a food-grade silicone + heat-resistant agent vulcanization process, achieving an increased heat resistance temperature through a mass ratio of 94% mSiO2·nH2O, 4% heat-resistant agent and color masterbatch, and 2% A and B platinum vulcanizing agents.

[0018] In addition, this invention addresses the manufacturing process requirements of coating the inner and outer silicone layers of the production line by designing a manufacturing mold. The manufacturing mold is connected to the extrusion head of the extruder and includes an inner cavity and an outer cavity with inner and outer shells. A silicone flow channel is formed between the inner cavity and the outer cavity. The silicone flow channel includes a first flow channel and a second flow channel that are interconnected and move to the left along the direction of the extrusion head. A wire hole that runs through the left and right is provided in the middle of the inner cavity. The production line coated with the anti-interference shielding layer passes through the extrusion head and the wire hole from left to right and moves linearly to the left under the action of an external mechanism. When the liner moves to the first injection hole in the inner cavity, the fluid silicone in the first channel is introduced into the liner hole through the first injection hole and covers the surface of the anti-interference shielding layer of the moving liner, forming an inner silicone layer. As the liner covered with the inner silicone layer continues to move straight to the left, it passes the protrusion formed by the second channel. At the open structures on the front and back sides of the protrusion, bulletproof wire is woven, so that the surface of the inner silicone layer is covered with a bulletproof wire woven layer. At the protrusion, in order to accelerate the surface solidification of the inner silicone layer during the weaving of the bulletproof wire, an air-cooling mechanism can be set on the front and back open sides of the protrusion to cool the inner silicone layer covering the surface of the anti-interference shielding layer. After the bulletproof wire woven layer is formed, the liner continues to move straight to the left to the second injection hole. The fluid silicone in the second channel is injected into the liner hole through the second injection hole and covers the surface of the bulletproof wire woven layer of the moving liner. In addition, the present invention provides a flow-limiting ring inside the line hole. By placing the flow-limiting ring on the right side of the first injection hole near the extruder head and connecting it to the inner wall of the inner cavity, it ensures radial guidance and limitation of the line body during the pulling process, and also blocks the silicone from flowing into the line hole when the first injection hole injects silicone, preventing the silicone from flowing into the right side of the line hole during injection. Simultaneously, the present invention provides a first guide ring and a second guide ring within the first flow channel. The first guide ring is fixed to the inner wall of the outer cavity, with a gap between it and the outer wall of the inner cavity, and is located on the right side of the first injection hole. When the silicone in the extruder head flows to the right within the first flow channel, it passes through the gap between the first guide ring and the outer wall of the inner cavity, and is guided downwards by the first guide ring for better injection into the first injection hole. The second guide ring is positioned to the left of the first injection hole and fixed to the outer wall of the inner cavity. A gap space is formed between the second guide ring and the inner wall of the outer cavity. The second guide ring obstructs the flow of silicone in the first channel, allowing the silicone to flow better into the first injection hole. Simultaneously, the remaining silicone flows into the second channel through the gap space between the second guide ring and the inner wall of the outer cavity, and gradually flows to the right along the convex shape to the second injection hole. Finally, it is discharged through the second injection hole and covers the surface of the line body. Furthermore, to ensure smooth flow of silicone in the first and second channels, a heating device can be installed outside the outer cavity, such as using a hot water circulation pipe for heat exchange, to ensure the temperature stability of the outer cavity and prevent silicone blockage due to temperature drop.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, this invention proposes a process for manufacturing silicone wires, comprising the following steps: S1, PFA insulation layer extrusion coating: After at least two strands of nickel-plated copper wires are twisted together to form a wire, a PFA insulation layer is extruded and coated on the outer layer of the wire to form a nickel-plated copper sensing wire. S2, Bulletproof wire layer filling and twisting: After the two nickel-plated copper sensing wires covered with PFA insulation layer in step S1 are arranged side by side, at least two bulletproof wires are inserted into the outside and twisted together with at least two bulletproof wires to form a bulletproof wire filling wire body. S3, PTFE sintered tape wrapping: The stranded wire body in step S2 is wrapped with a PTFE sintered tape layer to fix the stranded wire body; S4.

Synchronous extrusion of inner and outer silicone layers and weaving of bulletproof wire: In step S4, silicone is extruded synchronously through a mold to form an inner silicone layer and an outer silicone layer on the surface of the anti-interference shielding layer. The inner silicone layer covers the surface of the anti-interference shielding layer, and a bulletproof wire braided layer is woven on the inner silicone layer during the synchronous extrusion of the inner and outer silicone layers. The outer silicone layer covers the surface of the bulletproof wire braided layer.

[0027] In step S1, the nickel plating layer on the surface of the nickel-plated copper wire is greater than 0.3 μm; the diameter of the nickel-plated copper wire is 0.08 mm; the at least two strands of nickel-plated copper wire include 19 strands of nickel-plated copper wire, which are twisted together to form a wire.

[0028] In step S1, the PFA insulation layer is coated onto the surface of the conductor in step S1 by high-temperature extrusion; the temperature range of the high-temperature extrusion is 330°C to 390°C, and the extrusion tube is placed in a vacuum environment to reduce extrusion bubbles inside the PFA insulation layer and improve adhesion to the conductor surface.

[0029] In steps S2 and S5, the bulletproof wire is 1500D water-resistant bulletproof wire with a tensile strength greater than 20kg.

[0030] In step S4, the anti-interference shielding layer has a surface coverage of more than 95% on the stranded wire to reduce external magnetic field interference.

[0031] The weight ratio of the inner and outer silicone layers in step S5 is: 94% mSiO2·nH2O, 4% heat resistant agent and color masterbatch, and 2% A and B platinum vulcanizing agents. The materials of the inner and outer silicone layers are made by a mixing process, with a mixing time of 15 to 20 minutes. During the mixing process, 47% mSiO2·nH2O and 0.7% A platinum vulcanizing agent are first mixed evenly to form A glue; then 47% mSiO2·nH2O and 1.3% B platinum vulcanizing agent are mixed evenly to form B glue. Next, A and B adhesives are mixed evenly. Then, 4% heat resistant agent and color masterbatch are added to the mixed AB adhesives, and the mixture is slicing and extruded into a silicone extruder. The extrusion is then simultaneously extruded through the mold and coated onto the surface of the anti-interference shielding layer. The extrusion speed is 10 m / min, and the preheating temperature before extrusion is 200°C. The surface of the outer silicone layer is treated with gamma rays to reduce the surface viscosity and friction of the outer silicone layer. In step S5, the bulletproof wire braided layer is woven from 8*1 / 100D water-resistant bulletproof wire with a density of 10 mesh.

One end of the inner cavity 02 is connected to an extrusion head 01, and the other end extends horizontally outward. A wire hole A is provided in the middle of the inner cavity 02. The wire hole A passes through the inner cavity 02 and the extrusion head 01, and the wire passes through the wire hole A and is pulled straight out from the direction of the extrusion head 01 toward the inner cavity 02. The outer cavity 03 is sleeved outside the inner cavity 02, and one end is connected to the extrusion head 01, and the other end extends horizontally outward. A silicone flow channel is formed between the outer cavity 03 and the inner cavity 02. The silicone flow channel includes a first flow channel B and a second flow channel D connected sequentially from the direction of the extrusion head 01. The first flow channel B extends horizontally... The second flow channel D extends outward and communicates with the extrusion head 01 to horizontally discharge fluid silicone; the second flow channel D communicates with the first flow channel B and extends outward and upward along the radial direction of the wire hole A to form a convex body, forming a winding space F with open front and rear sides between it and the wire hole A; the first flow channel B is provided with a first injection hole C, which is opened on the wall of the inner cavity 02 and passes through the first flow channel B and the wire hole A; the first injection hole C includes at least two, and at least two first injection holes C are opened at intervals along the circumferential direction on the wall of the inner cavity 02 to inject fluid silicone into the surface of the anti-interference shielding layer 5 of the wire body pulled outward from the wire hole A, forming an inner silicone layer 6; the inner layer is formed on the surface of the wire body. When the silicone layer 6 moves to the winding space F, bulletproof wires are woven on its surface to form a bulletproof wire braided layer 7. The outer end of the second flow channel D extends radially toward the wire hole A, and a second injection hole E is formed near the wire hole A. After the fluid silicone is injected at the first injection hole C, the remaining silicone flows into the second flow channel D and is injected again through the second injection hole C onto the surface of the braided bulletproof wire braided layer 7 to form an outer silicone layer 8. A flow-limiting ring 04 is provided inside the wire hole A. The flow-limiting ring 04 is connected to the inner wall of the inner cavity 02 and is located on the side of the first injection hole C near the extruder head 01.

[0037] Furthermore, this invention designs a silicone wire manufacturing process that achieves simultaneous extrusion of two layers of silicone to cover both the inner and outer layers, protecting the internal wire while improving heat resistance. The process, along with the silicone wire and its manufacturing mold, utilizes the material ratio of the inner and outer silicone layers to achieve stable operation at 250℃. Compared to traditional silicone wires, this invention achieves simultaneous extrusion and coating of the inner and outer silicone layers through the manufacturing mold, effectively improving the efficiency of silicone layer manufacturing while achieving dual silicone layer coating. Simultaneously, the open structure at the front and rear of the mold's protrusions allows the braided bulletproof wire layer to be woven over the continuously extruded inner silicone layer before the outer silicone layer is simultaneously completed. The dual silicone layers protect the internal wire, improving heat resistance, while the centrally braided bulletproof wire layer stabilizes the flexible shape and structure of the inner and outer silicone layers, enhancing the overall tensile strength of the dual silicone layers. Specifically, the silicone wire manufactured in this invention comprises eight layers from the inside out: a nickel-copper plated sensing wire, a bulletproof wire filler wire, a PTFE sintered tape layer, an anti-interference shielding layer, an inner silicone layer, a bulletproof wire braided layer, and an outer silicone layer. The nickel-copper plated sensing wire is a wire structure formed by twisting at least two strands of nickel-copper plated wire. The surface of the nickel-copper plated sensing wire is covered with a PFA insulation layer, which is formed by high-temperature extrusion of PFA material onto the surface of the nickel-copper plated sensing wire. The bulletproof wire filler wire is formed by filling the outside of two parallel nickel-copper plated sensing wires. The system comprises at least two bulletproof wires twisted together to form a filament; a PTFE sintered tape layer is formed by wrapping a flexible PTFE tape around the surface of the bulletproof wire filling filament; an anti-interference shielding layer is formed by weaving anti-interference material onto the surface of the PTFE sintered tape layer; an inner silicone layer and an outer silicone layer are extruded at high temperature using a synchronous extrusion process through a mold; the inner silicone layer is extruded and covers the anti-interference shielding layer, and its surface is woven with a bulletproof wire braided layer; the outer silicone layer is synchronously extruded and covers the surface of the bulletproof wire braided layer. The invention comprises the following components: 1. The sensing wire is made of nickel-plated copper, which is resistant to high temperatures; 2. The wire insulation layer is extruded with PFA (polyvinyl fluoride copolymer), which has excellent chemical resistance, corrosion resistance, high temperature stability, oxidation resistance, and low viscosity; 3. Bulletproof wire is used to fill the wire, protecting it from tensile and bending stresses; 4. PTFE sintered tape is used to fix the sensing wire; 5. Nickel-plated copper braided shielding resists magnetic field interference and meets the 250℃ requirement; 6. Food-grade silicone rubber is used for vulcanization, with a certain proportion of heat-resistant agent added, which meets the 250℃ operating conditions; 7. The outer silicone layer is extruded in two stages, with a fine bulletproof mesh woven in the middle to ensure no deformation under high temperature conditions; 8. The surface of the silicone wire is treated with gamma rays for surface activation (photomodification process), reducing the surface viscosity and friction of the outer silicone layer. In terms of manufacturing process, this invention uses a food-grade silicone + heat-resistant agent vulcanization process, achieving an increased heat resistance temperature through a mass ratio of 94% mSiO2·nH2O, 4% heat-resistant agent and color masterbatch, and 2% A and B platinum vulcanizing agents.In addition, this invention addresses the manufacturing process requirements of coating the inner and outer silicone layers of the production line by designing a manufacturing mold. The manufacturing mold is connected to the extrusion head of the extruder and includes an inner cavity and an outer cavity with inner and outer shells. A silicone flow channel is formed between the inner cavity and the outer cavity. The silicone flow channel includes a first flow channel and a second flow channel that are interconnected and move to the left along the direction of the extrusion head. A wire hole that runs through the left and right is provided in the middle of the inner cavity. The production line coated with the anti-interference shielding layer passes through the extrusion head and the wire hole from left to right and moves linearly to the left under the action of an external mechanism. When the liner moves to the first injection hole in the inner cavity, the fluid silicone in the first channel is introduced into the liner hole through the first injection hole and covers the surface of the anti-interference shielding layer of the moving liner, forming an inner silicone layer. As the liner covered with the inner silicone layer continues to move straight to the left, it passes the protrusion formed by the second channel. At the open structures on the front and back sides of the protrusion, bulletproof wire is woven, so that the surface of the inner silicone layer is covered with a bulletproof wire woven layer. At the protrusion, in order to accelerate the surface solidification of the inner silicone layer during the weaving of the bulletproof wire, an air-cooling mechanism can be set on the front and back open sides of the protrusion to cool the inner silicone layer covering the surface of the anti-interference shielding layer. After the bulletproof wire woven layer is formed, the liner continues to move straight to the left to the second injection hole. The fluid silicone in the second channel is injected into the liner hole through the second injection hole and covers the surface of the bulletproof wire woven layer of the moving liner. In addition, the present invention provides a flow-limiting ring inside the line hole. By placing the flow-limiting ring on the right side of the first injection hole near the extruder head and connecting it to the inner wall of the inner cavity, it ensures radial guidance and limitation of the line body during the pulling process, and also blocks the silicone from flowing into the line hole when the first injection hole injects silicone, preventing the silicone from flowing into the right side of the line hole during injection. Simultaneously, the present invention provides a first guide ring and a second guide ring within the first flow channel. The first guide ring is fixed to the inner wall of the outer cavity, with a gap between it and the outer wall of the inner cavity, and is located on the right side of the first injection hole. When the silicone in the extruder head flows to the right within the first flow channel, it passes through the gap between the first guide ring and the outer wall of the inner cavity, and is guided downwards by the first guide ring for better injection into the first injection hole. The second guide ring is positioned to the left of the first injection hole and fixed to the outer wall of the inner cavity. A gap space is formed between the second guide ring and the inner wall of the outer cavity. The second guide ring obstructs the flow of silicone in the first channel, allowing the silicone to flow better into the first injection hole. Simultaneously, the remaining silicone flows into the second channel through the gap space between the second guide ring and the inner wall of the outer cavity, and gradually flows to the right along the convex shape to the second injection hole. Finally, it is discharged through the second injection hole and covers the surface of the line body. Furthermore, to ensure smooth flow of silicone in the first and second channels, a heating device can be installed outside the outer cavity, such as using a hot water circulation pipe for heat exchange, to ensure the temperature stability of the outer cavity and prevent silicone blockage due to temperature drop.
