[0002] With the rapid development of power transmission and communication technology, low-voltage cables, as important energy transmission carriers, are widely used in many fields such as industry, construction, and transportation. As the core component of the cable, the structure and performance of the conductor directly affect the transmission efficiency and service life of the cable. Traditional circular stranded conductors have problems such as low space utilization, uneven current distribution, and low efficiency of the forming process in certain specific application scenarios. In order to solve these technical bottlenecks, special-shaped stranded conductors have gradually attracted attention. Special-shaped conductors can effectively improve the filling factor of the conductor, reduce the gap, and improve the conductive properties and mechanical strength of the conductor by optimizing the cross-sectional shape of the conductor. However, in the production process of special-shaped conductors, the molding quality is difficult to guarantee due to the complex twisting process of multiple wires, the material is easily damaged during the drawing process, and the temperature control accuracy is not high. Therefore, the development of an efficient and controllable method and system for manufacturing low-voltage shaped wire stranded conductors has important practical significance and broad market prospects.

[0051] Preferably, the heating module includes a rotating body and a driving component; a plurality of magnets are arranged on the working surface of the rotating body; the driving part is used to drive the rotating body to rotate, so that the plurality of magnets rotate with one of the normals of the working surface as the rotation axis, so as to generate an induced current in the drawing die and finally heat the drawing die.

[0052] To simplify the description, Figure 2 Taking a type of wire conductor as an example, an exemplary implementation of the manufacturing method and the manufacturing system used in the present technical solution is described.

[0053] The conductor structure of the profiled wire conductor shown includes a core wire 10, which can be a circular wire structure or other required structures, such as a regular hexagon, a regular octagon, etc. The outer side of the core wire 10 is annularly twisted with multiple profiled wire monofilaments 12, and the cross-sectional shape of the profiled wire monofilaments 12 can be a trapezoid, or can be other required shapes, such as a fan-shaped, approximately trapezoidal, approximately other polygonal, etc. Figure 2 The conductor structure shown is only an example of a conductor structure for convenience of description, and is not a conductor structure that is restrictive of the present technical solution.

[0054] Now return to the attached Figure 1 , attached Figure 1 In the manufacturing system shown, in an exemplary embodiment, the manufacturing system includes a wire feeding unit 110, a twisting unit 120, a molding unit 150, a winding unit, and a control unit (not shown in the figure). The control unit is communicatively connected to the other units in the manufacturing system 100 to coordinate the units to work together.

[0055] The wire feeding unit 110 is used to store and transport a single shaped wire monofilament 12; the wire feeding unit 110 is equipped with a tension control device to ensure uniform tension of the wire during the wire-releasing process to prevent the wire from being tangled or broken.

[0056] The twisting unit 120 is used to twist multiple wire monofilaments 12 around the core wire 10; the twisting unit 120 can be configured to be installed on a cage twisting machine, a tubular twisting machine or a frame twisting machine, and can twist the wire monofilaments 12 according to the set twisting pitch and angle. Figure 1 The twisting unit 120 shown in the figure is only a part for one shaped wire monofilament 12 , and a plurality of twisting units 120 may be provided in the twisting machine to correspond to the twisting of each shaped wire monofilament 12 .

[0057] Preferably, the twisting unit 120 can work in conjunction with the tension control unit 122; the tension control unit 122 is communicatively connected to the control unit, and is used to monitor and adjust the tension of each shaped wire monofilament 12 in real time during the twisting process to prevent the shaped wire monofilament 12 from loosening or over-stretching, thereby ensuring tight and uniform twisting.

[0058] Preferably, the manufacturing system 100 may further include a winding unit for winding the twisted conductor into a coil for subsequent processing or transportation.

[0059] Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 3 , the molding unit 150 includes a heating module 152 and a drawing die 154. The heating module 152 adopts electromagnetic induction heating, and a rotating magnet is used to generate a periodically changing magnetic field relative to the conductive member, thereby generating an induced current and heating the conductive member.

[0060] For example, in conjunction with Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 As shown, the heating module 152 includes a rotating body 161 and a driving component 163. A plurality of magnets 169 are disposed on the surface of the working surface 171 of the rotating body 161. On one side of the working surface 171, a plurality of magnets 169 are arranged with two or more concentric circles as tracks.

[0061] The driving component 163 is used to drive the rotating body 161 to rotate around its center O. Preferably, the driving component 163 includes a driving motor and a related transmission device to provide rotational power to the rotating body 161. The driving motor and the rotating body 161 can be arranged in a non-coaxial manner, and a transmission device such as a chain or a belt is used to connect the driving motor and the rotating body 161.

[0062] In one embodiment, as shown in the accompanying drawings, concentric circles C1 and C2 with radii R1 and R2 are set with the center O of the rotating body 161 as the center. In each circle, a plurality of magnets 169 are set along the circular trajectory. For example, the number and arrangement of the magnets 169 on each circle are only used as examples of the technical solution, and are not used as limitations of the technical solution.

[0063] Preferably, a through hole is provided at the center of the rotating body 161 to allow the conductor to be twisted and formed to pass through the through hole and continue to enter the cavity 156 of the drawing die 154 at the rear end.

[0064] Furthermore, the magnet 169 is preferably cylindrical and at least partially embedded in the rotating body 161 to ensure that the magnet 169 is completely fixed on the rotating body 161 .

[0065] Preferably, the magnet 169 can be a rare earth magnet such as a ferrite magnet, a samarium-cobalt magnet, a neodymium magnet, an aluminum-nickel-cobalt magnet, or the like.

[0066] Preferably, all the magnets 169 on the rotating body 161 are arranged with the same polarity, for example, all the magnets 169 are set to be N poles or S poles at one end close to the drawing die 154 .

[0067] In one embodiment, the magnets 169 on each concentric circular trajectory (such as circle C1 and circle C2 in this embodiment) can be cylindrical magnets of the same size. In some embodiments, the magnets 169 on the same circular trajectory can have the same specifications, but magnets 169 of different specifications and sizes can be used on different circular trajectories.

[0068] Preferably, the radius of the cylindrical magnet 169 may be 3 mm to 12 mm, or more preferably, may be 5 mm to 10 mm.

[0069] Preferably, the height of the cylindrical magnet 169 is between 1 and 4 times the radius, and more preferably, between 5 mm and 30 mm.

[0070] Further, as attached Figure 4 As shown, the centers of any two magnets 169 are set to p1 and p2, and the radii of the two are set to r1 and r2, then the distance D between the two adjacent magnets 169 is defined as the distance between the two centers minus the radii of the two circles, that is, D = (p1, p2) - r1 - r2. Preferably, for any two adjacent magnets 169, the minimum value of the distance D is 2 times r1 or r2 (the larger value of the two). And the maximum value of the distance D is preferably 4 times r1 or r2 (the larger value of the two).

[0071] Reasonable design of the distance between magnets is crucial to optimizing the effect of electromagnetic induction heating. First of all, the distance between magnets directly affects the distribution of the magnetic field on the heated object and the uniformity of the magnetic flux density. When the distance between magnets is too close, the magnetic fields between adjacent magnets will interfere with each other, resulting in uneven magnetic flux density, reduced efficiency of induced current generation, and affected heating effect. When the distance between magnets is too large, the coverage of the magnetic field on the surface of the heated object becomes sparse, the eddy current effect is weakened, and the heating efficiency is also reduced. Therefore, it is necessary to find a balance between the two to ensure uniform distribution of the magnetic field and optimal induced current effect.

[0072] When measured in actual applications, when the distance D between adjacent magnets 169 is set between 20mm and 45mm, the heating effect reaches the best state, the magnetic flux density is relatively uniform, and the induced current can be efficiently distributed on the surface of the heated object. In addition, within this range, the ineffective diffusion of the magnetic field is effectively suppressed, and the energy utilization rate is significantly improved. Among them, when the distance D between adjacent magnets is between 30mm and 35mm, the magnetic flux density reaches a peak value, and the heating efficiency is the best. This optimized design not only reduces magnetic field interference, but also effectively improves the uniformity of eddy current distribution, reduces energy loss, and enables more energy to be effectively transferred to the heated object, ensuring that the entire heating process is more efficient and stable.

[0073] Further, attached Figure 4 A structure of the drawing die 154 is also schematically shown in FIG. Preferably, the drawing die is disc-shaped as a whole, and has a mold cavity 156 in the center for limiting the shape of the conductor that is further drawn and formed after preliminary twisting. The mold cavity 156 has the same or similar shape as the finished wire conductor. Two or more forming units 150 can be provided to achieve multi-stage drawing and forming.

[0074] Among them, each molding unit 150 can be configured with the same heating module 152, but a different drawing die 154. The molding cavity design of each level of the drawing die 154 follows the principle of gradual transition and precise molding. Preferably, the first-level drawing die is mainly responsible for the initial molding, and the conductor after twisting is adjusted to a large extent, while ensuring the uniform flow of the material and the integrity of the internal structure. The cross-sectional shape of the mold is close to the target shape, but a certain margin is retained to lay the foundation for subsequent drawing. The second drawing die further refines the cross-sectional shape of the conductor to make it closer to the design standard, focusing on dimensional accuracy and material uniformity, while reducing surface defects. For conductors that require higher precision, the third and above drawing dies will be fine-tuned to ensure that the cross-sectional dimensions of the conductor reach micron-level accuracy, the edges are smooth, and the surface quality meets the design requirements.

[0075] The entire drawing process adopts gradual transition and compression ratio control. By reasonably setting multiple molding units 150, the deformation area between the mold cavity 156 of each drawing die 154 can be smoothly transitioned to avoid sudden deformation and material cracking. Key design parameters include entry angle, compression angle, working area length and lubrication channel to ensure uniform deformation and stable flow of the conductor during the drawing process. By reasonably designing and precisely controlling the shape and process parameters of each drawing die, high-precision, uniform cross-section and smooth surface special-shaped conductors can be produced.

[0076] Preferably, the drawing die 154 and the mold cavity 156 can be modularly arranged, that is, the drawing die 154 can be of a uniform design size, and by using different mold cavities 156 in combination, the production cost can be reduced. Among them, in order to achieve better heating efficiency, the drawing die 154 can be made of aluminum or aluminum alloy. Aluminum and aluminum alloy materials are both materials with good thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity. Electromagnetic induction can be used to generate induced current (eddy current) inside the drawing die 154, thereby quickly releasing heat and achieving a uniform heating effect. And preferably, the outside of the drawing die 154 can be wrapped with heat-insulating materials, such as asbestos, heat-insulating yarn and other materials, so as to reduce the heat and air conduction of the drawing die 154, so as to improve the heat retention effect of the drawing die 154.

[0077] Preferably, the material of the mold cavity 156 may be different from that of the drawing die 154. The mold cavity 156 may be made of a hard alloy, such as hard die steel, which has high hardness and strength, and is heat treated to improve its own hardness and wear resistance, so that the size can be maintained during a long-term drawing process to meet the molding requirements of the conductor.

[0078] Embodiment 2: This embodiment should be understood to include at least all the features of any of the above embodiments, and further improve on the basis thereof:

[0079] In a preferred exemplary embodiment, the molding unit 150 further includes one or more temperature sensors 165. The control unit is in communication with the temperature sensors 165 and the driving component 163. The control unit calculates the required rotation speed of the driving motor by a control program based on the temperature feedback from one or more temperature sensors 165 to adjust the heating effect of the heating module 152 on the drawing die 154.

[0080] In a preferred exemplary embodiment, a temperature sensor 165 is provided at one or more locations of the drawing die 154, such as at the entrance, middle or exit of the die cavity 156, so as to comprehensively monitor the temperature distribution of the conductor at different stages. Optionally, the temperature sensor 165 can be a thermocouple or an infrared temperature sensor to achieve high-precision and fast-response temperature monitoring.

[0081] Furthermore, the temperature sensor transmits the detected real-time temperature data to the control unit; the control unit compares the temperature data with a preset target temperature range to determine whether the current heating temperature meets the process requirements.

[0082] When the temperature is lower than the target temperature, the control unit increases the speed of the drive motor to increase the rotation speed of the rotating body 161, thereby increasing the frequency of magnetic field changes and increasing the rate of electromagnetic induction heating. When the temperature is higher than the target temperature, the control system reduces the rotation speed of the rotating body 161, reduces the frequency of magnetic field changes, thereby slowing down the heating rate and avoiding overheating. The rotation speed of the rotating body 161 directly affects the frequency of magnetic field changes and the heating intensity. Based on the feedback data of the temperature sensor, the control system accurately controls the rotation speed of the rotating body by adjusting the speed of the drive motor 163.

[0083] Preferably, the control program run by the control unit also includes setting a segmented temperature control strategy for multiple molding units 150 according to the drawing requirements at different stages. For example, the drawing die of the molding unit located in the initial stage of drawing is set to a higher temperature to accelerate the softening of the molded wire monofilament 12; and a correspondingly lower temperature is set for the drawing die located in the later stage to prevent excessive softening.

[0084] Preferably, the following calculation formula may be used to calculate and set the rotation angular velocity ω of the rotating body 161:

[0085]

[0086] In Formula 1, ω0 is the initial rotation angular velocity, which can be zero or set to an initial non-zero value.

[0087] e(t) represents the real-time temperature T means With the target temperature T set The deviation value is:

[0088] e(t)=│T set -T means │;

[0089] t is a time variable, that is, the controlled rotation angular velocity ω(t) is output based on the error value e(t) at each moment t.

[0090] Among them, K p K is the proportional gain weight to control the rotation angular velocity ω based on the fast response of real-time temperature. i K is the integral gain weight to eliminate the steady-state error, where ∫e(t)·dt is the accumulated value of the temperature error over time. d is the differential gain, which is used to suppress the rate of error change. Indicates the rate of change of temperature error.

[0091] And, K p , K i and K d It can be obtained based on the following calculation formula through experiments and the need for temperature control:

[0092]

[0093] In Formula 2, T is the target temperature, T0 is the initial temperature of the drawing die 154, η is the thermal conductivity of the drawing die 154 measured in the laboratory; B is the magnetic field strength at the current working distance between the drawing die 154 and the rotating body 161; σ is the drawing die 154 and the conductivity of the drawing die 154, V is the volume of the drawing die 154, t is the heating time, ρ is the average density of the drawing die 154 or the drawing die 154 and the cavity 156 as a whole; C is the specific heat capacity of the drawing die 154 or the drawing die 154 and the cavity 156 as a whole.

[0094] Through the above rotation speed control algorithm, the heating temperature of the drawing die can be dynamically adjusted, and the technicians can quickly set the control algorithm to simplify the use of the production system by changing the specific values ​​of each parameter according to the different material requirements of the core wire and the molded wire monofilament produced.
