[0040] The present invention also provides a production process for a longitudinal waterproof cable, the production process is used to produce the longitudinal waterproof cable as above, comprising the following steps:
[0041] S1. The metal material used to make the cable core is drawn into a wire of the required diameter through a wire drawing machine, and the wire after drawing is annealed to improve the toughness of the wire and reduce the strength to ensure that it meets the requirements of the cable for the conductive core;
[0042] S2. Use an extruder to extrude the insulating material (cross-linked polyethylene) and wrap it around the conductor to form an insulating layer. The conductor and the insulating layer together form a cable core 101. Twisting multiple cable cores 101 according to a certain rule;
[0043] S3, using a wrapping machine to wrap the tape layer 102 on the outside of the cable core 101, and using a filling device to evenly fill the water-blocking powder between the tape layer 102 and the cable core 101, and using an extruder to wrap the lining layer 103 on the outside of the tape layer 102;

Due to preheating, the PET film on the surface of the aluminum-plastic composite tape 104 is tightly combined with the outer sheath 105 to prevent moisture and water from entering.
[0047] Embodiment 2
[0048] See also Figure 1-7 Based on the longitudinal waterproof cable of the first embodiment, during use, especially in rainy and snowy days, rain and snow will accelerate the corrosion and aging of the outer sheath 105. In addition, rain and snow water will invade the end connection between two adjacent cables and then penetrate into the interior of the cable body 1, accelerating the aging of water trees. In order to solve the above problems, the following improvements are made:
[0049] A sealing component 2 is provided at the end of the outer sheath 105, and the sealing component 2 is used to achieve the end sealing of the cable body 1. The sealing component 2 includes a sealing gasket 201, which is provided at the end of the cable body 1. The sealing gasket 201 is sleeved with the cable core 101. The sealing gasket 201 is a hollow structure, and the maximum diameter of the sealing gasket 201 is the same as that of the outer sheath 105. The sealing gasket 201 is preferably made of rubber. The hollow structure allows the sealing gasket 201 to expand when inflated.
[0050] A sealing cover 202 is sleeved on the end of the outer sheath 105, and the sealing cover 202 is preferably made of rubber material. The end of the sealing cover 202 is sleeved on the cable core 101, and the inner diameter of the sealing cover 202 is the same as the diameter of the outer sheath 105, that is, after the sealing cover 202 is sleeved on the outer sheath 105, it fits tightly with the circumferential surface of the outer sheath 105 and the sealing gasket 201, and a limiting groove 203 of an annular structure is opened on the inner wall end of the sealing cover 202, and a limiting ring 204 is matched in the limiting groove 203. A sealing ring 205 is provided at the end of the limiting ring 204. The limiting ring 204 and the sealing ring 205 are made of metal, and the limiting ring 204 and the limiting groove 203 are interference fit, and the diameter of the sealing ring 205 is the same as that of the sealing cover 202.
[0051] An annular groove 206 is provided on the inner end face of the sealing cover 202, and a sealing ring 207 is provided on the end face of the sealing gasket 201. The sealing ring 207 is located outside the cable core 101, and the sealing ring 207 corresponds to the annular groove 206. After the sealing cover 202 is completely sleeved on the end of the cable body 1, the sealing ring 207 and the annular groove 206 are plugged into and matched with each other to improve the sealing effect. The sealing ring 207 is preferably made of rubber. A telescopic tube 208 is provided on the outer end face of the sealing cover 202. The telescopic tube 208 can shield the cable core 101 exposed to the outside after being extended, and a docking ring 209 is provided on the end of the telescopic tube 208.
[0052] An inflation tube 211 is provided on the side of the sealing gasket 201, and the inflation tube 211 passes through the sealing cover 202 and the telescopic tube 208 in sequence and is connected to an external air supply system. The air supply system is preferably an air pump air supply system. An electromagnetic valve is provided at one end of the inflation tube 211 close to the air supply system. After the electromagnetic valve is opened, the external air supply system inflates air into the sealing gasket 201 through the inflation tube 211, so that the sealing gasket 201 expands, and the sealing gasket 201 contacts the inner wall of the sealing cover 202, thereby improving the sealing performance.
[0053] When in use, first, the limiting ring 204 that has been cryogenically frozen is sleeved on the outside of the outer sheath 105, the sealing gasket 201 is sleeved on the cable core 101 at the end of the cable body 1 and slid until it fits with the end face of the cable body 1, and the various protective layers inside the cable body 1 are sealed, and then the sealing cover 202 is sleeved on the end of the cable body 1, and the sealing cover 202 is also sleeved on the end of the cable core 101, and the sealing cover 202 is slid toward the sealing gasket 201 until it fits with the end face of the sealing gasket 201, and then the limiting ring 204 in the low temperature state is slid into the limiting groove 203. Affected by thermal expansion and contraction, the limiting ring 204 gradually expands in volume during the process of returning to normal temperature, so that the limiting ring 204 is tightly fitted with the inner wall of the limiting groove 203 and the circumferential surface of the outer sheath 105, thereby fixing the sealing cover 202 and sealing the end of the sealing cover 202.
[0054] Secondly, air is inflated into the sealing gasket 201 through the inflation tube 211. After the inflation is completed, the external solenoid valve is closed, and the sealing gasket 201 is in an expanded state. The expanded end face and circumferential surface of the sealing gasket 201 are tightly fitted with the inner end face and inner wall of the sealing cover 202 respectively, and at the same time, they are tightly fitted with the various protective layers at the end of the cable body 1 to achieve sealing of the end face of the cable body 1. At this time, the annular groove 206 and the sealing ring 207 are in close contact with each other, thereby improving the sealing effect of the cable core 101. After the two adjacent cable bodies 1 are butt-jointed, the telescopic tubes 208 at the opposite ends of the two adjacent cable bodies 1 are extended, and the butt-jointing rings 209 on both sides are butt-jointed, so that the connection between the two adjacent cable bodies 1 can be sealed.
[0055] In addition, during use, especially when the cable body 1 is exposed to the outside, impurities will adhere to the outer sheath 105, and the corrosion and aging of the outer sheath 105 will be accelerated under the action of rain, snow and sunlight for a long time, and it is difficult to detect in time, which will cause serious impact on power. Therefore, the following improvements are made:
[0056] A protective component 3 is sleeved on the outer sheath 105, and the protective component 3 is used to protect the outer sheath 105. The protective component 3 includes air guide holes 301 and an annular seat 302. The air guide holes 301 are opened in an annular array on the end surface of the outer sheath 105 and penetrate the outer sheath 105. A sealing tube inserted into the air guide holes 301 is provided on the inner side of the sealing gasket 201. An electric valve is provided on the sealing tube. In the initial state, the electric valve is closed, so that the two ends of the air guide holes 301 are in a closed state, and the inside of the air guide holes 301 is negative pressure.
[0057] The annular seat 302 is sleeved on the outer sleeve 105 in a linear array. The cross-section of the annular seat 302 is a "]"-shaped structure, that is, one side is transparent and the other side is closed. A mounting seat 303 with an annular structure is provided on the inner side of the annular seat 302. An arc groove 304 is opened on the side of the mounting seat 303. A bellows 305 is provided on the side of the mounting seat 303. The inner and outer walls of the bellows 305 are hollow structures, and the hollow part of the bellows 305 is correspondingly connected to the arc groove 304. An air inlet pipe 308 is penetrated through the bottom of the annular seat 302, and one end of the outer side of the air inlet pipe 308 penetrates the circumferential surface of the outer sleeve 105 and is connected to the air guide hole 301.
[0058] A metal plate 309 is provided at the closed end of the annular seat 302, and a magnetic ring 306 is provided at the end of the bellows 305. The magnetic ring 306 corresponds to the metal plate 309 on the adjacent annular seat 302. An annular plate 307 is provided on the inner wall of the magnetic ring 306. The annular plate 307 is made of elastic material, and the inner wall of the annular plate 307 is in contact with the circumferential surface of the outer sheath 105.
[0059] A telescopic rod 310 is provided on the inner wall of the annular seat 302, and the telescopic rod 310 corresponds to the hollow part of the bellows 305. A pressure sensor 311 is provided at the end of the telescopic rod 310, and a limit spring 312 is sleeved on the telescopic rod 310. When the inside of the air guide hole 301 is under negative pressure, the bellows 305 is in a negative pressure contraction state through the air inlet pipe 308. At this time, the inner end face of the bellows 305 contacts the pressure sensor 311, and the pressure value of the pressure sensor 311 is the threshold value under normal conditions.
[0060] An electric control valve is provided at one end of the air inlet pipe 308 located inside the annular seat 302 , and the electric control valve is used to control the on and off of the air inlet pipe 308 .
[0061] When in use, the electric control valve is opened and both ends of the air guide hole 301 are closed, and the air in the air guide hole 301 is evacuated to a negative pressure state, so that the bellows 305 contracts, and the pressure threshold of the pressure sensor 311 reaches a preset normal threshold range. After the outer sheath 105 corrodes and ages, causing the air guide hole 301 to be connected to the outside, the negative pressure state in the air guide hole 301 is gradually relieved, the contracted bellows 305 is released, and the force on the pressure sensor 311 is reduced. When the pressure value of the pressure sensor 311 is less than the normal threshold, it is actively determined that the outer sheath 105 has corroded and aged, and the staff is reminded to perform maintenance.
[0062] During the use of the cable body 1, in order to keep the surface of the outer sheath 105 clean, it is necessary to clean it regularly. During cleaning, the electric valve at one end of the cable body 1 is opened, the solenoid valve is opened, and the sealing gasket 201 is intermittently inflated by the external air supply system. Intermittent ventilation is achieved between the inner end faces of the mounting seat 303 and the annular seat 302 through the air guide hole 301, so that the bellows 305 with a hollow structure can reciprocate and expand, and the magnetic ring 306 drives the annular plate 307 to reciprocate and expand. During the reciprocating movement of the annular plate 307, impurities on the outer sheath 105 are cleaned. After cleaning, the external air supply system is switched to a vacuum state, so that the bellows 305 contracts to restore the negative pressure until the force applied to the pressure sensor 311 returns to a normal threshold value, and then the electric valve is closed to close both ends of the air guide hole 301 to maintain the negative pressure in the bellows 305. Then, the air supply system is used to inflate the sealing gasket 201 to restore it to the original sealing state, and then the solenoid valve is closed.
[0063] On rainy and snowy days, in order to prevent rain and snow from adhering to the surface of the outer sheath 105, the solenoid valve is opened, and the external air supply system is used to inflate the bellows 305 through the sealing gasket 201 and the air guide hole 301, so that the bellows 305 is in an extended state. When the bellows 305 is extended, the magnetic ring 306 at the end of the bellows 305 approaches the metal plate 309 on the adjacent protective component 3. Under the action of the magnetic attraction force, the magnetic ring 306 is adsorbed on the metal plate 309, so that the bellows 305 on each protective component 3 wraps the outer sheath 105, preventing rain and snow from falling on the outer sheath 105 and delaying corrosion and aging. After the rainy and snowy weather ends, the air supply system is evacuated to retract the bellows 305, so that the bellows 305 returns to the contracted state, and the sealing gasket 201 returns to the sealed state.
[0064] In addition, after long-term use, the telescopic tube 208 at the connection between two adjacent cable bodies 1 may be damaged, affecting the sealing of the joints of the telescopic tubes 208 on both sides. In order to solve the above problem:
[0065] The sealing component 2 and the protection component 3 cooperate to seal the connection between two adjacent cable bodies 1, and the magnetic poles of the magnetic rings 306 on the two adjacent cable bodies 1 are opposite.
[0066] A water sensor 210 is provided in the telescopic tube 208 , and the water sensor 210 is used to detect whether water is immersed in the telescopic tube 208 .
[0067] When the water sensor 210 detects that there is water in the telescopic tube 208, it is actively determined that the seal of the telescopic tube 208 has failed. At this time, in rainy and snowy days, after each bellows 305 has completed wrapping the cable body 1, each electric control valve except the opposite end of the two cable bodies 1 is closed, and the air supply system is used to supply air to the bellows 305 on both sides of the cable connection separately, so that the bellows 305 on both sides continue to extend. At this time, the annular plate 307 uses its own flexibility to pass through the sealing ring 205 and the sealing cover in turn. When the cable ends 202 reach the docking ring 209, the magnetic ring 306 and the annular plate 307 on the inner wall are in a stepped shape. At this time, the docking ring 209 and the annular plate 307 on the same side are in contact with each other, and the magnetic rings 306 on both sides of the cable connection are attracted to each other under the action of magnetic attraction, thereby ensuring the sealing of the docking of the bellows 305 on both sides. The bellows 305 that are attracted to each other on both sides can be used to achieve sealing protection of the end connection between the two cable bodies 1, thereby preventing rain and snow from penetrating into the interior of the cable body 1 and accelerating the aging of water trees.
[0068] The above descriptions are merely embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
