Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of wire and cable technology, specifically to a high wear-resistant wire and cable and a method for preparing the same. Background Technology
[0002] High abrasion-resistant wires and cables are widely used in complex operating environments such as industrial robotic arms, mining equipment, and rail transit traction systems. In these applications, cables must withstand frequent mechanical actions such as torsion, bending, and dragging over long periods of time, while also facing external abrasion such as equipment friction and sand and gravel abrasion. Furthermore, they must have good heat dissipation performance during high current transmission to avoid overheating failure. Therefore, stringent requirements are placed on the torsional stability, surface abrasion resistance, and structural durability of the cables.
[0003] In existing technologies, conventional wires and cables typically employ a basic structure of "conductor stranding + insulation layer wrapping + sheath protection." Their torsional resistance design largely relies on the conductor stranding process or the addition of a single elastic buffer layer, using the material's inherent flexibility to alleviate torsional stress. Abrasion protection primarily depends on thickening the rubber sheath or adding abrasion-resistant particles to the sheath surface. However, because traditional sheaths are integral structures, localized wear can quickly spread to the entire sheath surface. Furthermore, the rigid connection between the sheath and the internal structure allows wear stress to be directly transferred to the inner layer, causing stress concentration at the conductor-insulation interface. This leads to fatigue fracture of localized structures due to repeated deformation, accelerating the failure of the overall structure and making it difficult to meet the long-life requirements under complex operating conditions. Summary of the Invention

[0024] A method for preparing a high abrasion-resistant wire and cable, applicable to any of the high abrasion-resistant wires and cables described above, comprising the following steps:
[0025] S1. Core Preparation: First, multiple strands of copper wire are twisted together to form a conductor core; then, microporous ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) is extruded into the gaps and outer side of the conductor core through a three-layer co-extrusion process to form an elastic porous filling layer; simultaneously, modified cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) is co-extruded onto the outer surface of the filling layer and integrally formed with spirally distributed isosceles wedge-shaped anti-torsional protrusions; finally, the EPDM filling layer is pre-vulcanized to fix the porous structure.
[0026] S2. Stress Dispersion Ring Preparation and Assembly: The first step is to injection mold a polyimide (PI) anti-torsion support ring and open a spiral groove on its inner side; a spiral buffer strip is made of nickel-titanium alloy (NiTi) wire reinforced hydrogenated nitrile butadiene rubber (HNBR) and fitted into the groove of the support ring; a meshing groove that matches the anti-torsion protrusion is milled on the inner side of the buffer strip; the anti-torsion protrusion of the inner core is aligned with the meshing groove of the stress dispersion ring by rotating the tooling to complete the spiral meshing assembly;
[0027] S3. Preparation of stranded constraint layer: First, cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) is extruded on the outside of the stress dispersion ring to form an outer sheath; aramid fibers are woven into a mesh aramid tape at a predetermined helical angle using a ring braiding machine; the aramid tape is spirally wound onto the surface of the outer sheath using hot melt adhesive, and then fixed by pressure curing.
[0028] S4. Preparation of thermal conductive layer: Molten hydrogenated nitrile butadiene rubber (HNBR) is extruded through a foaming mold to form a microporous foamed rubber layer, which is wrapped around the outside of the stranded constraint layer; Before the rubber layer is vulcanized, pre-made polyimide (PI) hollow thermal conductive pillars are embedded at intervals.
[0029] S5.

[0066] Reference Figure 8A method for preparing a high abrasion-resistant wire and cable, applicable to any of the above-mentioned high abrasion-resistant wires and cables, includes the following steps:
[0067] S1. Preparation of inner core 1: First, multiple strands of copper wire are twisted together to form a conductor core 101; through a three-layer co-extrusion process, microporous ethylene propylene rubber (EPDM) is extruded into the gaps and outer side of the conductor core 101 to form an elastic porous filling layer 102; simultaneously, modified cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) is co-extruded on the outer surface of the filling layer, and is integrally formed with spirally distributed isosceles wedge-shaped anti-torsion protrusions 103; finally, the ethylene propylene rubber filling layer is pre-vulcanized to fix the porous structure.
[0068] S2. Preparation and assembly of stress dispersion ring 2: Step 1: Injection mold a polyimide (PI) anti-torsion support ring 201 and open a spiral groove on its inner side; make a spiral buffer strip 202 by reinforcing hydrogenated nitrile butadiene rubber (HNBR) with nickel-titanium alloy (NiTi) wire and fit it into the groove of the support ring; mill a meshing groove 203 on the inner side of the buffer strip that matches the anti-torsion protrusion 103; align the anti-torsion protrusion 103 of the inner core 1 with the meshing groove 203 of the stress dispersion ring 2 by rotating the tooling to complete the spiral meshing assembly;
[0069] S3. Preparation of stranded constraint layer 3: First, cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) is extruded on the outside of stress dispersion ring 2 to form outer sheath 301; aramid fibers are woven into mesh aramid tape 302 at a predetermined helical angle using a ring braiding machine; the aramid tape 302 is spirally wound onto the surface of outer sheath 301 by hot melt adhesive and fixed by pressure curing treatment.
[0070] S4. Preparation of thermal conductive layer 4: Molten hydrogenated nitrile butadiene rubber (HNBR) is extruded through a foaming mold to form a microporous foamed rubber layer 401, which is wrapped around the outside of the stranded constraint layer 3; Before the rubber layer is vulcanized, pre-made polyimide (PI) hollow thermal conductive columns 402 are embedded at intervals.
[0071] S5. Preparation of diffusion layer 5: Modified polyimide (PI) is injection molded on the outside of thermally conductive layer 4 to form insulating filler layer 501; using a custom mold with Y-shaped core, Y-shaped thermal conductive holes 502 penetrating the insulating filler layer 501 are simultaneously formed during the injection molding process to ensure that the thermal conductive holes are connected to the hollow thermal conductive pillar 402.
[0072] S6. Preparation and wrapping of wear-resistant layer 6: Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) is used as the elastic connecting strip 601 and ceramicized polyurethane (PU) is used as the flexible flakes 602. The wear-resistant layer 6 is cross-woven into a mesh shape by a biaxial braiding machine. The wear-resistant layer 6 is put on the outside of the diffusion layer 5 and the elastic connecting strip 601 is softened and tightly attached to the surface of the diffusion layer 5 by hot pressing. The layer is then cooled and shaped.
[0073] S7. Overall Post-treatment: The rubber structures such as the ethylene propylene rubber filler layer, hydrogenated nitrile rubber buffer strip, and microporous foamed rubber layer 401 are vulcanized as a whole. The plastic structures such as the polyimide support ring, cross-linked polyethylene outer layer 301, and modified polyimide insulation layer are annealed to eliminate internal stress. The torsional resistance, abrasion resistance, and thermal conductivity are tested by a torsion tester, an abrasion tester, and an infrared thermal imager to ensure compliance with standards.
[0074] Working principle: When the cable is subjected to torsional force, the anti-torsion protrusions 103 spirally distributed on the outer surface of the inner core 1 precisely mesh with the meshing grooves 203 on the spiral buffer strip 202 inside the stress dispersion ring 2. Because the meshing grooves 203 are slightly larger than the anti-torsion protrusions 103, the protrusions can move slightly within the groove during torsion, converting the concentrated torsional stress into distributed contact pressure. At the same time, the spiral buffer strip 202 undergoes elastic deformation, further absorbing impact energy. The anti-torsion support ring 201, as a rigid base, constrains the excessive deformation of the buffer strip. On this basis, the annular mesh aramid tape 302, woven from 36 strands of aramid fibers at a predetermined helical angle in the stranded constraint layer 3, is wound inside the outer sheath 301. With its ultra-high strength, it bears the circumferential tensile stress and axial shear stress, preventing the intermediate layer structure from loosening and further enhancing the overall torsional stability.
[0075] Regarding wear resistance, the flexible scales 602 of the wear-resistant layer 6 directly resist external friction. Their high hardness reduces physical wear. The elastic connecting strip 601 cross-connects the scales to form a grid structure. When the cable is bent or twisted, the connecting strip adapts to the structural deformation through elastic deformation, preventing the scales from breaking due to hard contact. At the same time, it disperses the local wear stress to the surrounding scales, thereby extending the wear-resistant life.
[0076] During cable operation, heat is transferred through the elastic porous filling layer 102 of the inner core 1 to the microporous foamed rubber layer 401 of the heat-conducting layer 4—the microporous structure provides a heat conduction channel and also assists in heat dissipation with air convection; then, the high thermal conductivity of the hollow heat-conducting columns 402 quickly captures heat and conducts it axially. Subsequently, the heat enters the diffusion layer 5 and diffuses to both sides through the Y-shaped heat-conducting holes 502 that penetrate the insulating filling layer 501: the Y-shaped structure increases the heat dissipation area, and combined with the low thermal resistance characteristics of the modified polyimide insulating filling layer 501, accelerates the dissipation of heat to the external environment. Finally, the heat is further exchanged with the outside air through the mesh gaps of the wear-resistant layer 6.
[0077] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
