Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cable coating, and in particular to a process and device for coating the insulation layer of a high-voltage cable. Background Art

[0002] Coating is a process that involves adding various materials to the conductor using coating and extrusion equipment, tailored to the specific performance requirements of wires and cables. Coating processes vary widely, with different materials requiring different coating techniques. For example, extrusion is often used for materials like rubber, lead, aluminum, and plastic; longitudinal wrapping is often used for strip materials like polyester film and aluminum-plastic composite film; wrapping is often used for fiber materials like mica tape, non-woven fabric, and alkali-free glass; and dipping is often used for materials like asphalt and insulating varnish.

[0003] In the insulation coating process of cables, extrusion coating is usually used to coat the outer insulation layer of the cable inner core. In the specific extrusion coating process, the deviation value of the thickness of the extruded insulation layer is an important indicator of the extrusion process level. Most product structural dimensions and their deviation values ​​are clearly specified in the standards. At the same time, the surface of the extruded insulation layer is required to be smooth, and no poor quality problems such as surface roughness and burnt surface should occur. In addition, the cross-section of the extruded insulation layer should be dense and strong, without pinholes visible to the naked eye, and the presence of bubbles should be eliminated. In the extrusion coating process, common problems include uneven extrusion, a large number of bubbles and cavities in the extruded layer, or rough and scorched outer surface of the extruded layer, etc. These common problems are usually caused by deviations in process parameter settings, such as the melt processing temperature of the coating raw material is too high or too low, and the pressure and speed of the extrusion screw are too high or too low. In the existing technology, it is usually manually judged and adjusted by on-site engineers based on on-site conditions, which has certain limitations. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In response to the problems raised in the above background technology, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an insulation layer coating process and device for high-voltage cables. Specifically, a real-time monitoring method for high-voltage cable production is designed based on past production data experience to facilitate judgment of production conditions and process adjustments.

Real-time monitoring of the raw material consumption and the corresponding cable output during the production process, and calculation of the real-time raw material input-output relationship; S3. Based on the calculation results of S1 and S2, determine whether the real-time raw material input-output relationship conforms to the standard raw material input-output relationship and analyze the production process based on the judgment result; S4. Based on the analysis results of S3, adjust the production process and determine the optimal production plan.

[0006] Furthermore, in the technical solution of the present invention, in step S1, the standard raw material input-output relationship includes: ; Where: Expressed as the production length of the cable, Expressed as the input amount of raw materials, To calculate the constant, Expressed as the corresponding amount of raw materials Standard cable lengths produced At the same time, based on historical production data, the error range is determined by the calculated range of the amount of raw materials consumed in the production process of each specification of cable corresponding to the amount of cables produced: ; ; Where: Expressed as the amount of raw materials input The maximum production length of the produced cables, Expressed as the amount of raw materials input The minimum production length of the produced cables, Indicated as allowable error.

[0008] Furthermore, in the technical solution of the present invention, in step S3, determining whether the real-time raw material input-output relationship conforms to the standard raw material input-output relationship and analyzing the production process according to the determination result includes: : That is, the real-time raw material input-output relationship conforms to the standard raw material input-output relationship, and the analysis shows that the parameters in the production process are normal, including the raw material processing temperature, pressure and cable production speed; :The real-time raw material input-output relationship does not conform to the standard raw material input-output relationship, and the amount of raw materials consumed The length of the corresponding produced cable is too long. The analysis is that the produced cable is unqualified and the parameters in the production process are abnormal, including the processing temperature of the raw materials is too low, the pressure is too low and the cable production speed is too fast. It should be noted that when the processing temperature of the raw materials is too low, it will lead to insufficient melting of the raw materials. There are a lot of bubbles inside the raw materials during the extrusion process.

[0009] Furthermore, in the technical solution of the present invention, in step S4, adjusting the production process and determining the optimal production solution includes: When the real-time raw material input-output relationship conforms to the standard raw material input-output relationship, that is, the parameters in the production process are normal, including the processing temperature and pressure of the raw materials and the production speed of the cable, the real-time raw material input-output relationship is monitored and calculated in real time by increasing the production speed of the cable, and the maximum production speed that meets the standard raw material input-output relationship is found. It should be noted that when the real-time raw material input-output relationship conforms to the standard raw material input-output relationship, the cable is in a normal production state. At this time, the production speed of the cable is increased to improve the production efficiency. While increasing the production speed, the consumption of raw materials and the output of the corresponding cables in the production process are monitored in real time, and the real-time raw material input-output relationship is calculated to determine whether the improved process meets the standard raw material input-output relationship.
