Now it is necessary to make a new type of polymer material with negative temperature coefficient for use as a temperature sensing cable, which can solve the problem that the NTC characteristics or negative temperature coefficient characteristics of polymer materials have temperature-resistance characteristics, and can be conveniently used in fire detection and prevention.

[0037] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] The basic structure of analog temperature sensing cable based on negative temperature coefficient polymer material is to twist two elastic conductors coated with negative temperature coefficient polymer layer together with a certain twist distance, and cover the outer sheath. Its working principle is that at room temperature or lower temperature, the resistance between the elastic conductors of the two polymer layers is maintained at a higher value. When the temperature rises to near the operating temperature, the resistance of the polymer material of the elastic conductor of the negative temperature coefficient polymer layer decreases, so that the resistance between the elastic conductors of the two polymer layers decreases to a certain value. The negative temperature coefficient polymer material has this temperature-resistance characteristic, and the signal detection device can control the equipment through this change.

[0040] According to the above working principle, the negative temperature coefficient polymer material used for temperature sensing cable should have the following characteristics: Figure 1 The temperature-resistance characteristic shown in the figure means that before the operating temperature, the resistance of the material changes little (no change is ideal), and when the temperature rises to near the operating temperature, the resistance of the material decreases exponentially. The temperature sensing cable made of this material can provide a sensitive alarm signal and is less affected by the ambient temperature or is basically unaffected. However, negative temperature coefficient polymer materials usually do not have temperature-resistance characteristics. Figure 2 The negative temperature coefficient polymer material shown has a temperature-resistance characteristic, that is, at room temperature or lower temperature, the resistance decreases more with temperature, but when it reaches near the operating temperature, the resistance change is smaller. However, the alarm sensitivity of the analog linear temperature sensing cable prepared using this negative temperature polymer composite material is poor and is greatly affected by the ambient temperature.

[0041] Example 2

[0042] Based on Example 1, Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment is improved compared with embodiment 1. This embodiment provides a temperature-sensing cable made of a polymer material with a negative temperature coefficient, including: a first temperature-sensing cable 1 and a second temperature-sensing cable 5. The first temperature-sensing cable 1 has an elastic stainless steel wire 2, and the elastic stainless steel wire 2 is coated with a conductive plastic 3 on the outside. The conductive plastic 3 (a functional polymer material processed by mixing resin and conductive material and processing in a plastic processing method) is coated with an insulating protective net 4 on the outside. The second temperature-sensing cable 5 has the elastic stainless steel wire 2, and the elastic stainless steel wire 2 is coated with a polymer material layer 6 on the outside. The polymer material layer 6 is an NTC material. The wire diameter of the elastic stainless steel wire 2 ranges from 0.6 mm to 0.9 mm. The material of the elastic stainless steel wire 2 is 304H, and the elastic stainless steel wire 2 is used as a conductive wire.

[0043] The first temperature sensing cable 1 and the second temperature sensing cable 5 are twisted into a temperature sensing harness. One end of the temperature sensing harness is coated with an aluminum foil composite layer 7, which serves as an anti-signal interference layer. The outside of the aluminum foil composite layer 7 is coated with a plastic protective layer 8, which serves as a protective aluminum foil composite layer 7. One end of the temperature sensing harness passes through the aluminum foil composite layer 7 and is connected to a signal processing device. One end of the temperature sensing harness is connected to a temperature sensor, and the other end of the temperature sensing harness is connected to a signal terminal, that is, the other end of the temperature sensing harness is connected to an alarm.

[0044] based on Figure 1 According to the principle, in order to improve the temperature-resistance characteristics of the negative temperature coefficient polymer material, the polymer material layer 6 is a composite material made of styrene-ethylene-butadiene-styrene copolymer (SEBS), ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) in proportion, and the composite material is used as the substrate, that is, the proportion of styrene-ethylene-butadiene-styrene copolymer, ethylene-vinyl acetate, polyvinyl chloride and high-density polyethylene is 1~10 parts: 1~10 parts: 1~10 parts: 1~10 parts. When the temperature of the composite material with olefins changes, the polymer chain segments inside the material move, changing the electrical properties of the material itself, thereby obtaining the temperature-resistance characteristics we need.

[0045] Metal materials with conductive properties (such as iron, copper and aluminum, etc.), carbon nanotubes, conductive graphite and graphene materials can be added to the composite material as functional materials in a ratio of 1~10 parts: 1~10 parts: 1~10 parts: 1~10 parts respectively to prepare a polymer material layer 6 with NTC characteristics. The polymer material layer 6 with NTC characteristics can further obtain temperature-resistance characteristics.

[0046] Therefore, the polymer material layer 6 of this embodiment is relatively Figure 1 In general, it has the temperature-resistance characteristics of polymer materials with negative temperature coefficient.

[0047] Example 3

[0048] Based on Example 2, and Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a method for using a temperature sensing cable made of a polymer material with a negative temperature coefficient, comprising the following steps:

[0049] Step 1): twisting the first temperature sensing cable 1 and the second temperature sensing cable 5 to form a temperature sensing harness;

[0050] Step 2): Arrange the temperature sensing harness in the place, connect the two ends of the temperature sensing harness to the signal processing device and the signal terminal respectively to form a complete temperature sensing cable system, and use the temperature sensing cable system to monitor the environmental fire.

[0051] The use of the temperature sensing cable system adopts the following steps:

[0052] Step 21): Input 24V voltage to the temperature sensing cable system to detect the resistance change of the temperature sensing harness in the place in real time;

[0053] Step 22): When a fire occurs in the environment around the temperature sensing harness, the temperature of the environment around the temperature sensing harness will rise, and the conductive plastic 3 on the first temperature sensing cable 1 will melt and expand due to the temperature rise, and the conductive plastic 3 will contact the polymer material layer 6 on the second temperature sensing cable 5 through the insulating protection net 4 woven from polyester monofilaments;

[0054] The industrial use of polyester monofilament is mainly used for weaving filter screens, Meiji mesh cloths, rubber wire external sleeves, etc. Among them, the filter screen woven from polyester monofilament has the functions of high strength, good elasticity, good wear resistance and good light resistance. Therefore, the insulating protection net 4 woven from polyester monofilament has elastic contraction function;

[0055] Step 23): As the temperature of the conductive plastic 3 increases, the resistance of the polymer material layer 6 decreases, and the polymer material layer 6 gradually changes from an insulating state to a conductive state;

[0056] Step 24): After the conductive polymer material layer 6 contacts the conductive plastic 3, the resistance between the two copper wires 2 decreases, a short circuit is formed between the first temperature sensing cable 1 and the second temperature sensing cable 5, the detection signal of the temperature sensing cable system changes, and an alarm signal is issued.

[0057] When no fire occurs in the environment around the temperature sensing harness, the temperature of the environment around the temperature sensing harness decreases, the conductive plastic 3 is retracted into the insulating protection net 4, the conductive plastic 3 is not in contact with the polymer material layer 6, and the polymer material layer 6 is in an insulating state, the resistance of the polymer material layer 6 increases, the resistance between the two copper wires 2 increases, the first temperature sensing cable line 1 and the second temperature sensing cable line 5 are insulated, the detection signal of the temperature sensing cable system returns to normal, and no alarm signal is issued.

[0058] It can be seen from this embodiment that when a fire occurs in the environment around the temperature sensing harness, the temperature of the environment around the temperature sensing harness will increase, and the conductive plastic 3 contacts the polymer material layer 6 on the second temperature sensing cable 5 through the insulating protection net 4, and the resistance of the polymer material layer 6 decreases, and the polymer material layer 6 gradually tends from an insulating state to a conductive state. After the conductive polymer material layer 6 contacts the conductive plastic 3, the resistance between the two copper wires 2 becomes smaller, a short circuit is formed between the first temperature sensing cable 1 and the second temperature sensing cable 5, and the detection signal of the temperature sensing cable system changes, and an alarm signal is issued; when no fire occurs in the environment around the temperature sensing harness, the temperature of the environment around the temperature sensing harness decreases, the conductive plastic 3 does not contact the polymer material layer 6, the resistance of the polymer material layer 6 increases, the resistance between the two copper wires 2 increases, the first temperature sensing cable 1 and the second temperature sensing cable 5 are insulated, and the detection signal of the temperature sensing cable system returns to normal, and no alarm signal is issued.

Connect the two probes of the multimeter to the two electrodes, put them in the oven, and use a thermometer to monitor the temperature.
