[0002] With the rapid development of power transmission and communication technology, low-voltage cables, as an important energy transmission carrier, are widely used in industries, buildings, transportation and other fields. 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. The traditional round stranded conductor has low space utilization, uneven current distribution and low efficiency in the forming process in some specific application scenarios. 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 voids, and improve the electrical conductivity 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 twisting process of multiple wires is complex, the material is easily damaged during drawing, and the temperature control precision is not high, which makes it difficult to guarantee the forming quality.

[0036] Embodiment one: exemplarily, a low-voltage type wire stranded conductor manufacturing method is proposed, which is applied to prepare a stranded special-shaped conductor with a special cross-sectional shape; the manufacturing method comprises the following steps:

[0051] Preferably, the heating module includes a rotating body and a driving component; the working surface of the rotating body is provided with a plurality of magnets; the driving component is used to drive the rotating body to rotate, so that the plurality of magnets rotate about one of the normals of the working surface as the axis of rotation, thereby generating an induced current in the drawing die and ultimately heating the drawing die.

[0052] For the sake of simplicity, see attached. Figure 2 Taking a type of wire conductor as an example, this paper illustrates an exemplary implementation of the manufacturing method and the manufacturing system used in this technical solution.

[0053] The conductor structure of the shaped conductor shown includes a core wire 10, which can be a circular wire or other required structure, such as a regular hexagon or a regular octagon. Multiple shaped wire monofilaments 12 are annularly twisted around the outer side of the core wire 10. The cross-sectional shape of the shaped wire monofilaments 12 can be trapezoidal or other required shapes, such as a fan shape, an approximate trapezoid, or other approximate polygons. (See attached diagram.) Figure 2 The conductor structure shown is merely an example for convenience of description and is not intended to be a limiting conductor structure of this technical solution.

[0054] Now return to the attached Figure 1 , attached Figure 1 In the illustrated manufacturing system, in an exemplary embodiment, the manufacturing system includes a wire feeding unit 110, a stranding unit 120, a forming 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 their collaborative operation.

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

[0056] The stranding unit 120 is used to strand multiple profiled monofilaments 12 around the core wire 10; the stranding unit 120 can be configured to be installed on a cage stranding machine, a tubular stranding machine, or a frame stranding machine, and can strand the profiled monofilaments 12 according to a set stranding pitch and angle. (The attached text is incomplete and requires further context.) Figure 1 The stranding unit 120 shown is only for a portion of a single filament 12 of the profile wire. Multiple stranding units 120 can be provided in the stranding machine to correspond to the stranding of each single filament 12 of the profile wire.

[0057] Preferably, the stranding 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 filament 12 in real time during the stranding process to prevent the filament 12 from becoming loose or overstretched, and to ensure that the stranding is tight and uniform.

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

[0059] As exemplarily shown in FIG. 3, the forming unit 150 includes a heating module 152 and a drawing die 154. The heating module 152 employs electromagnetic induction heating, which uses a rotating magnet to generate a periodically changing magnetic field relative to the conductive component, thereby generating an induced current and heating the conductive component.

[0060] For example, in conjunction with the appendix 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 provided on 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 their trajectories.

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

[0062] In one embodiment, as shown in the drawings, concentric circles C1 and C2 with radii R1 and R2 respectively are set with the center O of the rotating body 161 as the center. In each circle, a plurality of magnets 169 are arranged along a circular track. Exemplarily, the number and arrangement of the magnets 169 on each circle are only for illustration and not as a limitation of the present technical solution.

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

[0064] Further, 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 ferrite magnet, a samarium-cobalt magnet, a neodymium magnet, etc.

[0066] Preferably, all the magnets 169 on the rotating body 161 are arranged with the same polarity pointing, for example, all the magnets 169 are arranged as N-pole or S-pole at the end close to the drawing die 154.

[0067] In one embodiment, the magnets 169 on each concentric circular track (for example, the circles C1 and C2 in the present embodiment) can be cylindrical magnets of the same size. In some embodiments, the magnets 169 on the same circular track can have the same specifications, but different sizes of magnets 169 can be used on different circular tracks.

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

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

[0070] Further, as shown in the drawings, Figure 4 The centers of any two magnets 169 are set as p1 and p2, and the radii are 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, i.e. 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 (taking the larger one of the two). And the maximum value of the distance D is preferably 4 times r1 or r2 (taking the larger one of the two).

[0071] The optimal design of the magnet spacing is crucial for maximizing the effect of electromagnetic induction heating. Firstly, 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 magnets are too close, the magnetic fields of adjacent magnets interfere with each other, resulting in uneven magnetic flux density, reduced efficiency in generating the induced current, and compromised heating performance. Conversely, when the magnets are too far apart, the magnetic field coverage on the heated object becomes sparse, weakening the eddy current effect and also reducing heating efficiency. Therefore, a balance needs to be found to ensure uniform magnetic field distribution and optimal induced current generation.

[0072] In practical applications, measurements showed that the heating effect was optimal when the distance D between adjacent magnets 169 was set between 20mm and 45mm, resulting in a more uniform magnetic flux density and efficient distribution of induced current on the surface of the heated object. Furthermore, within this range, ineffective magnetic field diffusion was effectively suppressed, significantly improving energy utilization. Specifically, the magnetic flux density peaked when the distance D between adjacent magnets was between 30mm and 35mm, exhibiting the best heating efficiency. This optimized design not only reduces magnetic field interference but also effectively improves the uniformity of eddy current distribution, reduces energy loss, and allows more energy to be effectively transferred to the heated object, ensuring a more efficient and stable heating process.

[0073] Furthermore, attached Figure 4 The diagram also schematically illustrates one structure of the drawing die 154. Preferably, the drawing die is generally disc-shaped and has a cavity 156 in the center for shape constraint of the conductor after preliminary stranding and further drawing. The cavity 156 has the same or similar shape as the finished wire conductor. Multi-stage drawing can be achieved by providing two or more forming units 150.

[0074] Each forming unit 150 can be equipped with the same heating module 152, but with different drawing dies 154. The forming cavity design of each stage of the drawing die 154 follows the principles of gradual transition and precise forming. Preferably, the first-stage drawing die is mainly responsible for preliminary forming, making significant dimensional adjustments to the stranded conductor while ensuring uniform material flow and internal structural integrity. The die cross-sectional shape is close to the target shape, but retains a certain margin to lay the foundation for subsequent drawing. The second drawing die further refines the conductor cross-sectional shape, making it closer to the design standard, focusing on dimensional accuracy and material uniformity, while reducing surface defects. For conductors requiring higher precision, the third and subsequent drawing dies will be fine-tuned to ensure that the conductor cross-sectional dimensions achieve micron-level precision, smooth edges, and surface quality that meets design requirements.

[0075] The whole drawing process adopts step-by-step transition and compression ratio control, and multiple forming units 150 are reasonably arranged to make the deformation area between the cavities 156 of each drawing die 154 smoothly transition and avoid sudden deformation leading to material cracking. Key design parameters include entry angle, compression angle, working zone length, and lubrication channel to ensure uniform deformation and stable flow of the conductor during drawing. By reasonably designing and precisely controlling the shape and process parameters of each drawing die, high-precision, uniform cross-section, and smooth-surface profiled conductors can be produced.

[0076] Preferably, the drawing dies 154 and cavities 156 can be modularly arranged, that is, the drawing dies 154 can be uniformly designed in size, and different cavities 156 are used in combination to reduce production cost. To achieve better heating efficiency, the drawing dies 154 can be made of aluminum or aluminum alloy. Aluminum and aluminum alloy are both good conductive materials, and can generate induced current (eddy current) in the drawing dies 154 by electromagnetic induction, thereby quickly releasing heat and achieving uniform heating. Preferably, the drawing dies 154 can be wrapped with heat insulation materials such as asbestos and heat insulation yarn on the outside to reduce heat conduction with air and improve the heat retention effect of the drawing dies 154.

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

[0078] Embodiment Two: This embodiment should be understood as at least containing all the features of any one of the preceding embodiments, and further improving on the basis thereof:

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

[0080] In the preferred exemplary embodiment, temperature sensors 165 are arranged at one or more positions of the drawing die 154, such as at the inlet, middle, or outlet of the cavity 156, to comprehensively monitor the temperature distribution of the conductor at different stages. Optionally, the temperature sensors 165 can be thermocouples or infrared temperature sensors to achieve high-precision and rapid-response temperature monitoring.

[0081] Further, the temperature sensor transmits the detected real-time temperature data to the control unit; the control unit compares the temperature data with the 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 rotation speed of the driving motor to increase the rotation speed of the rotating body 161, thereby increasing the magnetic field change frequency and 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 to reduce the magnetic field change frequency, thereby slowing down the heating rate to avoid overheating. The rotation speed of the rotating body 161 directly affects the magnetic field change frequency and the heating intensity. Based on the feedback data of the temperature sensor, the control system precisely controls the rotation speed of the rotating body by adjusting the rotation speed of the driving motor 163.

[0083] Preferably, the control program run by the control unit further includes setting a segmented temperature control strategy for the plurality of forming units 150 according to the drawing requirements of different stages, for example, setting a higher temperature for the drawing die of the forming unit located in the initial stage of drawing to accelerate the softening of the profile wire single filament 12; and setting a corresponding lower temperature for the drawing die located in the later stage to prevent over-softening.

[0084] Preferably, the following calculation formula can 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 deviation value of the real-time temperature T means from the target temperature T set , that is:

[0088] e(t) = |T set -T means |; and

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

[0090] wherein K p is a proportional gain weight to control the fast response of the rotation angular velocity ω based on the real-time temperature. K i is an integral gain weight to eliminate steady-state error, wherein ∫e(t)·dt is the cumulative value of temperature error over time. K d is a differential gain to suppress the rate of error change, A rate of change of the temperature error.

[0091] And, K p , K i and K d may be obtained by experiment and the control needs of temperature, and the following calculation formula is obtained by referring to the following calculation formula:

[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 under the working distance of the current drawing die 154 and the rotating body 161; σ is the electrical 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 die cavity 156; C is the specific heat capacity of the drawing die 154 or the drawing die 154 and the die cavity 156.

[0094] Through the above rotation speed control algorithm, the dynamic adjustment of the heating temperature of the drawing die can be realized, and the specific values of the parameters can be changed by the technician according to the different material requirements of the produced core wire and profile monofilament, so as to quickly set the control algorithm to simplify the use of the production system.

[0095] Embodiment three: this embodiment should be understood as at least containing all the features of any one of the preceding embodiments, and further improving on the basis thereof:

[0096] Exemplarily, the drawings Figure 5 The schematic diagram of the computer system 500 adopted by the control unit in the production system implemented in the present embodiment is depicted; the computer system 500 can realize the working control of each working unit, module and component in the system according to the current control program; and further, the working data, detection data generated in the system working are collected, stored and processed to finally realize the expected effect of the fluorescent marking system.
