Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cable restoration, and in particular to a cable full-structure restoration material and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] my country's urbanization and industrialization will continue to advance, leading to a surge in power cable investment in grid construction. Cable laying sites are often subject to complex and uncertain underground environments, and cable routing and orientation can change based on actual construction conditions. This can lead to discrepancies between planned and actual cable demand, insufficient lengths, or surpluses. While traditional materials and technologies, such as butt joints and fusion splices, can address the problem of fixed-point power cable splicing to some extent, they are limited by the associated processes and materials and cannot meet the physical requirements for tensile strength and bending resistance required for power cable installation.

[0003] As more and more short cables are left during the laying of power cables in power grid construction, there are several ways to deal with them:

[0004] (1) Returning inventory to wait for items that match the demand plan before being redeployed for use. The time is uncertain and the inventory cycle is long, which can easily lead to inventory backlogs and low inventory turnover rates.

[0005] (2) There is no matching project for long-term warehouse turnover, and the storage environment is uneven. There is a risk that the cables will be flooded and aged and can no longer be used. When the performance indicators of power cables are reduced, they can only be scrapped, resulting in waste.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a method for fully restoring the structure of the cable so that it can be reused. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art and to provide a cable full-structure restoration material and a preparation method thereof.

[0008] The technical solutions of the present invention are as follows:

[0009] A method for preparing a cable full-structure restoration material comprises welding the conductor, then immersing the conductor in a nano-repair solution, then coating the conductor with a polyethylene mixture to repair the insulation layer, then applying a semi-conductive coating on the insulation layer, and then wrapping the semi-conductive tape around the insulation layer after curing to repair the shielding layer. A copper mesh tape is then wrapped around the semi-conductive tape and welded to the semi-conductive tape. A waterproof tape is then wrapped around the copper mesh tape. The outer layer of the waterproof tape is then double-wrapped with steel tape and welded to the steel armor. The outermost layer is then restored to its outer sheath using a heat-shrinkable waterproof tubing.

[0010] The nano repair solution includes the following raw materials in parts by weight:

[0011] 20-35 parts of polysiloxane emulsion, 40-90 parts of solvent, 4-8 parts of methylsiloxane, 0.1-1 part of titanium-containing catalyst, 1-8 parts of emulsifier, and 1-5 parts of modified vermiculite;

[0012] The preparation method of the modified vermiculite is as follows:

[0013] The vermiculite is added into a magnesium ion-containing aqueous solution for immersion, then taken out, and the surface of the vermiculite is sprayed with vegetable oil, and finally calcined at 700-900°C.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the solvent is at least one of xylitol, sorbitol, acetone, carbon tetrachloride, diethylene glycol and salicyl alcohol.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the magnesium ion-containing aqueous solution includes at least one of a magnesium chloride aqueous solution, a magnesium sulfate aqueous solution and a magnesium nitrate aqueous solution.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the concentration of the magnesium ion-containing aqueous solution is 1-3 g / L.

[0017] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the vegetable oil includes soybean oil and / or castor oil.

[0018] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the calcination time is 2-5 hours.

[0019] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the immersion time is 20-60 minutes.

[0020] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the titanium-containing catalyst includes at least one of isobutyl titanate, isopropyl dioleate acyloxy titanate, isopropyl dioctyl phosphate acyloxy titanate, and plant acid type monoalkoxy titanate.

[0021] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the emulsifier includes one of alkylphenol polyoxyethylene ether and nonionic fluorocarbon surfactant.

[0022] The present invention also discloses a cable full-structure restoration material, which is prepared by any of the above preparation methods.

[0023] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: It uses a specific repair fluid to eliminate moisture within the cable, preventing further degradation of the insulation caused by water treeing. Upon contact with water, the repair fluid forms a colloid that adheres to the inner surface of the cable insulation, repairing defects caused by water treeing to a certain extent. Its dielectric constant is close to that of the insulation layer. Furthermore, the addition of modified vermiculite to the repair fluid reduces the phenomenon of insulation de-bubbling caused by heating after prolonged use of the conductor. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
