Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cables, and in particular to a fire-resistant cable suitable for use in temperature-raising conditions in a fire environment and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In modern buildings and industrial facilities, the safety performance of cables is crucial, especially in emergency situations such as fires. Cables need to maintain power transmission functions under fire conditions to ensure the normal operation of fire protection systems, emergency lighting and communication equipment, and facilitate personnel evacuation and fire rescue.

[0003] With the frequent occurrence of various fire accidents, huge losses of life and property have been caused. Therefore, the requirements for fire-resistant cables used in fire protection systems are constantly increasing. Fire-resistant cables are mainly used in crowded places such as residences, shopping malls, supermarkets, hospitals, theaters, and important engineering facilities with special requirements such as subways, airports, petrochemicals, and metallurgy. These crowded places and engineering facilities have high requirements for power transmission. At the same time, they are in special environments such as high temperature and high pressure or crowded with people. Fire-resistant cables are needed to ensure the safety of power transmission under fire conditions.

[0004] At present, the test method of fire-resistant cables cannot reflect the real fire scene, and there are significant differences between the fire scene and the test method. The main reasons are as follows: (1) In the fire test, the cable is laid horizontally as a single cable, while in reality, most cables are laid horizontally or vertically in bundles. (2) The fire test uses a single blowtorch with a length of 500 mm and a flame temperature of 750°C. The length of the cable burned is limited. For cables with large outer diameters, the flame cannot wrap around the cable and can only burn the bottom of the cable. In a fire, the flame will completely wrap around the cable, similar to heating with multiple blowtorches, and the flame temperature can reach over 1000°C. (3) The fire test time is 90 minutes, while a large fire can last for several hours or even more than ten hours. (4) The starting ambient temperature of the fire test is room temperature, and the ambient temperature is heated by the heat of the test flame. At the end of the test, the ambient temperature is less than 100°C. From the perspective of the fire development process, the fire intensity changes with time. The fire will change with the changes in the fire load, nature and distribution. The ambient temperature will also continue to rise with the development of the fire. Fire science research shows that when the fire reaches 180 minutes, the ambient temperature can exceed 1000°C.

[0005] Due to the above-mentioned differences between the test methods of fire-resistant cables and actual fire scenarios, although the existing fire-resistant cables can meet the test requirements, they cannot meet the use requirements in real fire environments. First, the existing fire-resistant cables lack mechanical strength and flexibility at high temperatures, which makes them easily damaged in fires. Secondly, the electrical properties of the cables will drop rapidly at high temperatures, affecting the continuous working ability of the cables and even losing their power supply capabilities. This will result in the fire-resistant cables not being able to function well in fires even though they meet the test requirements, thus losing the original intention of the fire-resistant cables. Therefore, the development of new fire-resistant cables that can withstand the heating conditions of fire environments is the development trend of fire-resistant cables. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of existing cables, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a fire-resistant cable suitable for use in fire environment temperature rise conditions and a preparation method thereof, which can provide higher safety and reliability in a fire environment. Through the structural design and material selection of the fire-resistant layer, insulating layer, fire-proof layer, cushion layer and sheath layer, the problems existing in the prior art are solved, the electrical performance of the cable at high temperatures is improved, the high temperature resistance of the fire-proof layer and the insulating layer is enhanced, and the manufacturing process is simplified to reduce costs. At the same time, by using ceramic silica gel mud and other high-performance materials with a specific formula, it is ensured that the cable can continue to work stably at high temperatures of 600 to 1200°C, thereby providing more reliable support for personnel evacuation and rescue work when a fire occurs.

[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0008] A fire-resistant cable suitable for use in fire environment temperature rise conditions, comprising: an insulating wire core, a fireproof layer and a sheath layer arranged from the inside to the outside, wherein the fireproof layer is made of ceramic silica gel mud; the ceramic silica gel mud is composed of the following parts by weight: 20-40 parts of ceramic silica gel, 100-120 parts of methyl vinyl silicone rubber raw rubber, 30-50 parts of white carbon black, 4-6 parts of glass powder, 30-40 parts of aluminum oxide, 20-30 parts of zinc borate, 1-3 parts of zinc oxide, 30-40 parts of mica powder, 7-10 parts of dimethyl silicone oil and 0.3-0.5 parts of platinum catalyst.

[0009] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the fire-resistant cable suitable for use in a fire environment under elevated temperature conditions, comprising:

[0010] Preparation of methyl vinyl silicone rubber; preparation of ceramic rubber: adding dimethyl silicone oil, glass powder and mica powder additives to the synthesized methyl vinyl silicone rubber, stirring evenly and then adding to an internal mixer for plasticization, discharging the material after plasticization evenly to obtain ceramic rubber; preparation of ceramic silica mud: adding the prepared ceramic rubber, silicone rubber raw rubber, white carbon black, catalyst, stabilizer, aluminum oxide and zinc borate into a rubber mixer for mixing and plasticization to obtain ceramic silica mud material; stranding soft copper wires in a regular arrangement on a frame stranding machine to obtain a stranded conductor; wrapping inorganic mineral insulating tape on the surface of the stranded conductor, the inorganic mineral insulating tape should be wrapped in an overlapping manner, the wrapping direction of each layer should be opposite, and the outermost layer should be to the right to obtain a fire-resistant conductor; extruding ceramic polyolefin material on the surface of the fire-resistant conductor to obtain an insulated wire core; extruding ceramic silica mud on the outside of the cable core to form a fire-proof layer, wrapping tape on the outside of the fire-proof layer to form a cushioning layer, and extruding sheath material on the outside of the cushioning layer.

[0011] One or more technical solutions provided by the present invention have at least the following technical effects or advantages:

[0012] The ceramic silica mud material of the cable fire insulation layer is heated and melted in the temperature range of 350-600℃ under flame ablation to form a viscous flow state, bonding the refractory filler and residual ash together. When the temperature exceeds 600℃, the silicon dioxide generated by the combustion of the refractory filler and the silicone rubber matrix undergoes a eutectic reaction to produce a dense silicate ceramic layer. The ceramic layer has excellent mechanical strength in the temperature range of 600-1200℃, and can withstand external damage such as vibration impact and water spray, thereby ensuring that the cable can be effectively protected during a fire. At the same time, the ceramic layer also has excellent heat insulation, which can prevent external flames and heat from spreading to the inside of the cable.

[0013] The cable adopts a fireproof and heat-insulating structural design. The insulation layer is made of ceramic polyolefin material, the fireproof layer is made of ceramic silica mud material, and the cushion layer is made of ceramic fire-resistant composite tape. These three materials can be sintered into a ceramic shell after flame ablation, blocking the flame and heat from spreading into the cable and protecting the internal structure. The insulation layer and the fire-resistant layer form a composite insulation layer, which improves the electrical insulation performance of the cable under flame conditions. A large amount of flame-retardant materials are used in the cable to improve the flame-retardant performance of the cable. In an exogenous fire, the cable does not spontaneously combust or support combustion, which can reduce the fire and smoke and reduce personal injury.

[0014] The fire-resistant layer of the cable adopts inorganic mineral insulating tape, and the insulating layer adopts extruded ceramic polyolefin material. The fire-resistant layer and the insulating layer constitute composite insulation, and both are fire-resistant and high-temperature resistant materials, which can maintain high electrical insulation performance under flame and high temperature conditions. The fire-insulating layer adopts extruded ceramic silica gel mud material, the cushioning layer adopts ceramic fire-resistant composite tape, and the sheath layer adopts halogen-free low-smoke flame-retardant polyolefin material with good crusting performance. Ceramic polyolefin material, ceramic silica gel mud material and ceramic fire-resistant composite tape have excellent fire-resistant and high-temperature resistant properties. When heat and flame burn, the surface sinters to form a ceramic layer, which isolates the flame and heat from transferring to the inside of the cable, and plays a role in fire and heat insulation. The fire-insulating and heat-insulating structural design of the insulating layer, fire-insulating layer and cushioning layer ensures that the cable can operate continuously and stably in a fire environment with rising temperatures, which buys time for rescue and escape.

[0015] Advantages of additional aspects of the present invention will be given in the following description, and in part will become obvious from the following description, or will be learned through practice of the present invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0020] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are illustrative and are intended to provide further explanation of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in the present invention have the same meanings as those commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention belongs. In addition, it should also be understood that when the terms "comprise" and / or "include" are used in this specification, it indicates the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components and / or combinations thereof.

[0021] Embodiment 1

[0022] like Figure 1As shown, the cable is a single-core cable. This embodiment has 1 insulated core, a copper conductor 1 arranged from the inside to the outside, the copper conductor 1 is formed by twisting multiple strands of fine copper wires, and a refractory layer 2 is wrapped flatly and densely on the copper conductor 1. The refractory layer 2 is an inorganic mineral insulating tape, and the inorganic mineral insulating tape is a composite structure of one or more of synthetic mica tape, calcined mica tape or coated mica tape. An insulating layer 3 is extruded on the refractory layer 2, and the insulating layer 3 is a ceramic polyolefin material. Ceramic silica gel mud is extruded outside the insulating layer 3 to form a fireproof layer 5, and a ceramic refractory composite tape is wrapped outside the fireproof layer 5 to form a cushion layer 6; a halogen-free, low-smoke, flame-retardant polyolefin material with good crusting performance is extruded outside the cushion layer 6 to form a sheath layer 7, and the sheath layer is preferably orange-red in color. The cable as a whole achieves properties such as fire resistance and flame retardancy.

[0023] The ceramic silica gel mud is composed of the following parts by weight: 20-40 parts of ceramic silica gel, 100-120 parts of methyl vinyl silicone rubber, 30-50 parts of white carbon black, 4-6 parts of glass powder, 30-40 parts of aluminum oxide (particle size>10 μm), 20-30 parts of zinc borate, 1-3 parts of zinc oxide, 30-40 parts of mica powder, 7-10 parts of dimethyl silicone oil, and 0.3-0.5 parts of platinum catalyst. The ceramic silica gel mud material of the present invention maintains a soft elastic state at room temperature, can be sintered into a self-supporting ceramic structure under high temperature calcination of not less than 600°C, can ensure that the cable still works continuously and stably at high temperatures of 600-1200°C, and has good mechanical properties, processing properties, flexibility and fire resistance.

[0024] After the sheath layer is burned by flames, the burning products can be sintered into a shell shape and attached to the cable surface, thus preventing the flame from spreading into the interior of the cable.

[0025] When the ceramic refractory composite tape of the cushion layer is heated under flame ablation and the temperature exceeds 500°C, the refractory silicone rubber in the composite tape is sintered into a porcelain-like body attached to the surface of the cable core, isolating the flame, heat and air from spreading into the cable core.

[0026] The ceramic silica mud material of the fireproof layer is heated and melted in the temperature range of 350-600℃ under flame ablation to form a viscous flow state, bonding the refractory filler and residual ash together. When the temperature exceeds 600℃, the silicon dioxide generated by the combustion of the refractory filler and the silicone rubber matrix undergoes a eutectic reaction to produce a dense silicate ceramic layer. The ceramic layer has excellent mechanical strength in the temperature range of 600-1200℃, and can withstand external damage such as vibration, impact, and water spray, thereby ensuring that the cable can be effectively protected throughout the fire process. At the same time, the ceramic layer also has excellent heat insulation, which can prevent external flames and heat from invading and spreading into the cable.

[0027] When the ceramic polyolefin of the insulating layer is sintered at a temperature exceeding 600°C, the ceramic shell formed is attached to the surface of the conductor. The residue after burning is a silicate material, which has good electrical insulation and can also prevent flames and heat from being transferred to the conductor. The insulating layer has the dual functions of insulation and fire and heat insulation.

[0028] The inorganic mineral insulating tape of the fire-resistant layer has excellent electrical insulation performance under high temperature conditions of 1200°C. The composite insulation layer composed of the fire-resistant layer and the insulating layer ensures that the insulated wire core can still operate continuously and stably in a high temperature environment.

[0029] Through the joint action of the sheath layer, lining layer, fire barrier layer, insulation layer and fire-resistant layer, the cable can continue to operate stably for a certain period of time when the temperature in the fire environment continues to rise, ensuring the evacuation of personnel and the implementation of rescue work.
