The main uses include emergency power supply to user fire equipment, fire alarm equipment, ventilation and smoke exhaust equipment, emergency power sockets, emergency elevators and other power supply circuits. These places have extremely high requirements for the reliability and safety of electrical systems. The application of fire-resistant cables can effectively ensure the normal operation of these key systems, which is of great significance to improving the overall safety level.

The product performance can only be guaranteed by increasing the number of wrapping layers. Therefore, the product cannot take into account both the flexible small outer diameter and the excellent fire-resistant performance. Summary of the invention

[0005] In the first aspect, the present application provides a new type of fire-resistant wire and cable, comprising a core, a sheath and a protective layer arranged in sequence from the inside to the outside, and also comprising a filler that is in contact with the core and jointly arranged inside the sheath, the core comprising a conductor, a fire-resistant layer and an insulating layer arranged in sequence from the inside to the outside, the raw materials used for the fire-resistant layer comprising the following components in parts by weight: 28-30 parts of a binder; 60-70 parts of an inorganic refractory filler; 20-24 parts of a foaming material; 30-32 parts of an auxiliary agent; 8-12 parts of a photoinitiator, the binder being polyvinyl formal or acrylic resin emulsion, the photoinitiator containing a double absorption peak, with an absorption peak 1 in the range of 270-290nm and an absorption peak 2 in the range of 360-380nm; the raw material used for the insulating layer being any one of polyvinyl chloride, cross-linked polyethylene or polyolefin; the raw material used for the protective layer being any one of polyethylene, flame-retardant polyethylene and low-smoke halogen-free flame-retardant polyolefin.

[0006] Preferably, the inorganic refractory filler includes mica and nano-magnesium oxide.

However, the substances in this application are for illustration only. In actual use, technicians in this field can make adjustments according to actual conditions. Different material ratios and material selections are all included in the protection scope of this application.

[0009] By adopting the above technical scheme, the present application utilizes polyvinyl formal or acrylic resin emulsion, both of which have good bonding force, as the binder in the raw materials used for the refractory layer, and utilizes the characteristics of both of them being able to be UV-cured, assisted by the photoinitiator in the system, so that the refractory layer of the present application can be coated on the surface of the conductor in the form of photocuring, thereby avoiding the problem of damage to the refractory performance caused by the shedding of the mica tape; the present application also adds mica and nano-magnesium oxide as inorganic refractory fillers, which effectively improves the thermal stability, thermal insulation capacity and refractoriness of the refractory layer, and also improves the microstructure density in the refractory layer; the present application also adds a foaming material, which utilizes its porous structure to effectively prevent heat conduction and heat radiation, and can also absorb and buffer thermal stress, thereby improving the thermal stability of the refractory layer; finally, the present application adds a nano-montmorillonite compound of antimony trioxide and magnesium hydroxide as an auxiliary agent, which can play a good flame retardant, smoke suppression, performance enhancement and microstructure improvement effect when the refractory layer is heated and burned, and significantly improves the flame retardant performance, thermal stability and mechanical strength of the refractory layer.

[0010] In general, the fire-resistant layer of the present application has the advantages of excellent fire resistance, good fire resistance stability and strong flame retardancy. The new type of fire-resistant wire and cable finally obtained also has very good fire resistance, flame retardancy and thermal stability. Experimental data show that the cable still maintains insulation without breakdown when applying 3.5kV AC voltage and continuous electric shock for 5 minutes, and still maintains insulation without breakdown when applying 2.4kV AC voltage and continuous electric shock for 4 hours. The maximum elongation under load is 70%, and the permanent elongation after cooling is 0%. After heat treatment at 130°C for 1h, the insulation shrinkage is 1%. In the combustion test, the distance between the lower edge of the upper bracket and the starting point of the carbonized part is 330mm, and the combustion extends downward to the lower edge of the upper bracket by 450mm. Under the conditions of flame temperature of 950-1000°C, fire supply time of 180min, and applied voltage of 1000V, the conductor did not fuse and the voltage remained normal.

In actual use, those skilled in the art can adjust them according to actual conditions, and different material ratios are included in the protection scope of the present application.

[0013] By adopting the above technical scheme, the present application utilizes melamine and pentaerythritol as foaming materials to form a protective gas and a stable carbonized layer at high temperature to isolate oxygen, and at the same time can also improve the corrosion resistance and crack resistance of the inorganic refractory filler, making it more stable in high temperature and corrosive environment, and reducing the number of cracks formed in the combustion environment; at the same time, a compound of silane-coated ammonium polyphosphate and expanded graphite is utilized, which interact with each other at high temperature to form a dense expansion layer, and at the same time decompose to produce flame-retardant substances, thereby reducing the proportion of combustible substances. Multiple substances cooperate with each other to effectively improve the fire resistance and heat insulation capabilities of the foaming material, thereby optimizing the fire resistance and flame retardancy of the cable. In addition, the present application strictly controls the weight ratio of silane-coated ammonium polyphosphate and expanded graphite to ensure that the expanded graphite can provide an appropriate amount of carbon source during the combustion process, while also ensuring that the silane-coated ammonium polyphosphate can achieve the best effect of releasing flame-retardant substances. Experimental data show that when the weight ratio of silane-coated ammonium polyphosphate and expanded graphite is 1: (0.5-1.5), the fire resistance and flame retardancy of the cable are at a high level.

The controlled energy of light curing is 800-1000MJ / cm in the UV band. 2 , the light curing line speed is 90-100m / min.

[0018] By adopting the above-mentioned technical scheme, the present application uses a high-pressure spray gun to evenly spray the refractory mixture on the surface of the conductor layer, and is designed with an induction heating method to increase the surface temperature of the conductor layer to shape the refractory mixture, and then uses an LED light curing machine to irradiate and cure to form a complete refractory layer, so that the final refractory layer is denser, and the fire resistance and flame retardant effects are better, and the light curing line speed of 90-100m / min can effectively shorten the processing time.

[0019] Preferably, in step S2, the average thickness of the insulating layer is 0.3-3.0 mm.

At the same time, under the conditions of a voltage of 1000V and a fire supply time of 180min, the voltage is maintained and the maximum flame temperature that the conductor can withstand without melting is as high as 950-1000°C, which proves that the cable of the present application has excellent fire resistance and flame retardancy.

[0042] In Example 2, the present application changes the components of the foaming material, wherein the various indicators of Examples 2.1-2.5 are better than those of Example 1.1, proving that the present application can form a protective gas and a stable structural layer at high temperature to isolate oxygen by using melamine and pentaerythritol as foaming materials, and can also improve the corrosion resistance and crack resistance of the inorganic refractory filler, making it more stable in high temperature and corrosive environments, and reducing the number of cracks formed in a combustion environment; at the same time, the silane-coated ammonium polyphosphate and expanded graphite are compounded to interact at high temperature to form a dense expansion layer, and decompose to produce flame-retardant substances, thereby reducing the proportion of combustible substances. The multiple substances cooperate with each other to effectively improve the fire resistance and heat insulation capabilities of the foaming material, thereby optimizing the fire resistance and flame retardancy of the cable; The various indicators of Examples 2.2-2.4 are better than those of Examples 2.1 and 2.5, which proves that the present application ensures that the expanded graphite can provide sufficient carbon source during the combustion process by strictly controlling the weight ratio of silane-coated ammonium polyphosphate and expanded graphite, and also ensures that the silane-coated ammonium polyphosphate can achieve the best effect of releasing flame-retardant substances. At this time, the fire resistance and flame retardancy of the cable are at a high level; Example 2.6 of the present application uses a compound of unmodified ammonium polyphosphate and expanded graphite. The various indicators of the obtained cable are not significantly different from those of Example 1.1, proving that the expanded graphite of the present application needs to be used together with silane-coated ammonium polyphosphate to exert a synergistic effect. Simply adding expanded graphite to the foaming material system of Example 1 cannot achieve an effective synergistic effect. The fire resistant and flame retardant indicators of comparative example 1 are significantly inferior to those of example 1.1, which proves that there is a good synergistic effect between the raw materials used for the fire resistant layer of the present application, and the weight ratio of each component controlled by the present application can further enhance the fire resistant and flame retardant effects of the cable; the various indicators of comparative example 2 are inferior to those of example 1.1, which proves that the preparation method of the present application prepares the fire resistant layer and the insulating layer by utilizing a series production method, which not only greatly improves the production efficiency, but also maximizes the uniformity and completeness of the fire resistant layer, thereby improving the stability of the fire resistant and flame retardant properties of the cable.
