Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of cables, and in particular relates to a high-voltage cable for new energy vehicles. Background Art

[0002] Cable is a device for transmitting electric energy or signals. It is usually made of one or more mutually insulated conductors and insulating layers. It transmits electricity or information from one place to another. It is an indispensable part of modern power, communication and other systems. With the changes in the use environment of cables, the requirements for the insulation, flame retardancy and other properties of cables are becoming higher and higher. Traditional cable materials are mostly polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which is difficult to meet the use requirements.

[0003] A Chinese patent application document with publication number CN114822960A discloses a medium-voltage copper core power cable with good insulation. The sheath material of the cable includes the following components: polyvinyl chloride, modified nano-calcium carbonate, aluminum hydroxide, nylon, hollow glass microspheres, and di(p-nitrophenyl)phosphonic acid azidoate. Aluminum hydroxide is added to the insulating sheath layer to improve the flame retardancy and insulation of the sheath. The coordinated use of hollow glass microspheres and di(p-nitrophenyl)phosphonic acid azidoate avoids the problem of reduced mechanical properties caused by the addition of aluminum hydroxide.

[0004] However, with the development of new energy vehicles, the voltage level of the high-voltage system is getting higher and higher. Polyvinyl chloride is a polar material with polar groups in its molecules, which cannot meet the strict requirements of the high-voltage system for cable insulation and voltage resistance. Summary of the invention

[0010] Preferably, the method for preparing the cellulose nanofibers comprises the following steps:

[0011] (1) treating Masson pine powder with alkali, mixing it evenly with a hydrogen peroxide solution, filtering, washing, and drying to obtain cellulose;

[0012] (2) The cellulose and the composite acid are mixed evenly, filtered, washed, the washed slurry is homogenized, and dried to obtain cellulose nanofibers.

[0013] Preferably, in step (1), the alkali treatment is to react the Masson pine powder with a sodium hydroxide aqueous solution at 60-80° C. for 4-8 hours;

[0014] The ratio of Masson pine powder to sodium hydroxide aqueous solution is 1g:15-20mL, and the concentration of sodium hydroxide aqueous solution is 0.2-0.5mol / L.

[0015] Preferably, in step (2), the ratio of cellulose to composite acid is 1 g: 30-80 mL; the mixing temperature is 70-100° C.;

[0016] The composite acid is prepared by mixing citric acid and hydrochloric acid in a mass ratio of (2-4):1.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, after citric acid and hydrochloric acid are mixed, the acidic environment is strengthened, thereby accelerating the starting speed of the hydrolysis reaction.

[0018] Preferably, the preparation method of the β-caryophyllene-maleic anhydride-polyethylene copolymer comprises the following steps:

[0019] β-caryophyllene, maleic anhydride, polyethylene, di-tert-butyl peroxide and cyclohexanone are mixed uniformly, heated under a nitrogen atmosphere for reaction, cooled to room temperature, and dichloromethane is added and mixed uniformly to obtain a mixed solution, and the mixed solution is poured into methanol to precipitate, filtered, washed, and dried to obtain a β-caryophyllene-maleic anhydride-polyethylene copolymer;

[0020] The mass ratio of the β-caryophyllene, maleic anhydride and polyethylene is (2-5):1:1.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the ratio of β-caryophyllene, maleic anhydride and polyethylene is optimized and adjusted, so that the monomer unit sequence of the β-caryophyllene-maleic anhydride-polyethylene copolymer is evenly distributed and has good thermal stability.

[0022] Preferably, the temperature of the temperature-raising reaction is 130-150° C., and the time of the temperature-raising reaction is 2-4 hours.

[0023] Preferably, the method for preparing the insulating layer material comprises the following steps:

[0026] Preferably, the conductor is formed by twisting a plurality of metal cores; an inner semiconductive layer, an insulating layer, an outer semiconductive layer, a shielding layer and an outer sheath are sequentially coated along the axial direction of the conductor itself.

[0027] Preferably, the metal core is a copper core.

[0028] In summary, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0031] (3) The present invention uses a composite cross-linking agent to cross-link polyethylene to form an insulating layer material. The composite cross-linking agent has multiple peroxy groups, which can accelerate the cross-linking reaction speed, improve the degree of cross-linking reaction, reduce the generation of by-products, reduce impurities inside the insulating layer material, enhance the breakdown resistance of the insulating layer material, and enhance the insulation of the insulating layer material;

[0032] (4) The present invention introduces β-caryophyllene-maleic anhydride-polyethylene copolymer and ethylene-octene copolymer into the insulating layer material, thereby enhancing the cross-linking degree of polyethylene, forming a denser cross-linking network, and improving the mechanical strength and thermal stability of the insulating layer material; the cable prepared by the present invention has excellent thermal stability, mechanical strength and insulation performance, effectively improving the service life and stability of the cable.

[0085] Table 1 Amount of Kaurene added

[0086]

[0087] Comparative Example 2

[0088] In this comparative example, the effect of the amount of cellulose nanofiber added on the performance of the insulation layer material was investigated.

[0089] The difference from Example 1 is the amount of cellulose nanofiber added, and the rest is the same as Example 1, as shown in Table 2 for details.

[0090] Table 2 Addition amount of cellulose nanofibers

[0091]

[0092] Comparative Example 3

[0093] This comparative example examines the effects of the proportion and addition amount of the composite cross-linking agent on the properties of the insulating layer material.

[0094] The difference from Example 1 is the amount of the composite cross-linking agent added, and the rest is the same as Example 1, as shown in Table 3 for details.

[0095] Table 3 Addition amount of composite crosslinking agent

[0096]

[0097] Comparative Example 4

[0098] In this comparative example, the effect of β-caryophyllene-maleic anhydride-polyethylene copolymer on the properties of the insulation layer material was investigated.

[0099] The difference from Example 1 is that no β-caryophyllene-maleic anhydride-polyethylene copolymer is added in this comparative example, and the rest is the same as Example 1.

[0100] Performance Testing

[0101] Relevant performance tests were performed on Example 1 to Example 4 and Comparative Example 1 to Comparative Example 4 in accordance with GB / T 2951-2008. The test results are shown in Table 4.

[0102] Table 4 Test results

[0103]

[0104] By comparing Comparative Example 1 with Example 1, it can be seen that the addition of kaurene can enhance the resistivity of the cable insulation layer material and enhance the insulation performance of the cable under high voltage; at the addition amount of Comparative Example 1b, kaurene has little effect on resistivity enhancement; when the amount of kaurene added is too much, the resistivity decreases instead, which may be due to the excessive formation of agglomerates by the kaurene, resulting in local concentration of the electric field; at the same time, excessive kaurene tends to reduce the mechanical properties of the insulation layer material.

[0105] From the comparison between Comparative Example 2 and Example 1, it can be seen that the addition of cellulose nanofibers can form a dense network structure with polyethylene during the cross-linking process of polyethylene, enhance the insulation performance of the material, and at the same time can effectively share and transfer stress and improve the mechanical properties of the material.

[0106] It can be seen from the comparison between Comparative Example 3 and Example 1 that di-tert-butyl peroxyisopropylbenzene and di-tert-butyl peroxide can play a synergistic role in the crosslinking process and jointly promote the crosslinking reaction. When the amount of the composite crosslinking agent added is too much, it is easy to cause the insulation resistance of the insulating layer material to decrease, affecting the insulation performance, which may be caused by the increase of impurities in the crosslinking process.

[0107] By comparing Comparative Example 4 with Example 1, it can be seen that the addition of β-caryophyllene-maleic anhydride-polyethylene copolymer can improve the tensile strength of the cable material; the β-caryophyllene-maleic anhydride-polyethylene copolymer is cross-linked with polyethylene, and the β-caryophyllene-maleic anhydride-polyethylene copolymer has a certain spatial structure. The double bond structure and aromatic groups contained in the copolymer can interact with the polyethylene chain, thereby enhancing the tensile strength and thermal stability of the insulating layer material, reducing the degradation of the insulating layer material at high temperature, and helping to delay the thermal aging process of the cable.

[0108] The above is an exemplary description of the present invention. It should be noted that, without departing from the core of the present invention, any simple deformation, modification or equivalent replacement that can be done by other technicians in this field without expending creative labor falls within the protection scope of the present invention.
