Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of overhead conductor technology, specifically to an anti-aging overhead insulated conductor. Background Technology

[0002] Overhead insulated conductors, as the main carrier of power distribution network lines, are widely used in urban and rural power distribution networks, industrial park power supply and rail transit and other power transmission fields. However, with the continuous growth of power grid load, the increasing complexity of the operating environment and the continuous improvement of power supply reliability requirements, higher requirements are put forward for the performance of overhead insulated conductors.

[0003] Currently, the protective layer of overhead insulated conductors is easily affected by ultraviolet radiation during operation, leading to aging of the protective layer and subsequent problems such as embrittlement and cracking. This not only shortens the service life of overhead insulated conductors but also increases the risk of leakage and short circuits during power transmission. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop overhead insulated conductors with excellent anti-aging properties. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention proposes an anti-aging overhead insulated conductor, which solves the problem of insufficient anti-aging properties of overhead insulated conductors in related technologies.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: This invention proposes an anti-aging overhead insulated conductor, which consists of a conductor core, a shielding layer, and a protective layer from the inside out; the conductor core is composed of a conductor and an insulating layer covering the outside of the conductor, and the conductor is made of multiple aluminum alloy wires twisted together.

[0006] As a further technical solution, the insulation layer is a cross-linked polyethylene insulation layer.

[0007] As a further technical solution, the shielding layer is a metal shielding layer.

[0008] As a further technical solution, the metal shielding layer is a copper wire braided shielding layer.

[0009] As a further technical solution, the raw materials of the protective layer include the following components by weight: 100 parts of EPDM rubber, 20-30 parts of polypropylene, 3-5 parts of zinc oxide, 2-5 parts of antioxidant, 15-25 parts of modified titanium dioxide, 4-6 parts of lubricant, 4-6 parts of vulcanizing agent, and 1-3 parts of crosslinking aid. The modified titanium dioxide is obtained by modifying titanium dioxide with methyl 4-aminomethylbenzoate hydrochloride.

[0010] This invention improves the aging resistance of the protective layer of overhead insulated conductors by adding titanium dioxide modified with methyl 4-aminomethylbenzoate hydrochloride. While titanium dioxide has aging resistance, its high surface energy and tendency to agglomerate make it difficult to disperse evenly in the EPDM and polypropylene blend matrix, thus hindering its full aging resistance. However, the amino groups in the methyl 4-aminomethylbenzoate hydrochloride molecular structure can form hydrogen bonds with the hydroxyl groups on the surface of titanium dioxide particles, effectively reducing agglomeration and improving its dispersibility in the EPDM and polypropylene blend matrix, thereby enhancing the aging resistance of the protective layer.

[0011] As a further technical solution, the mass ratio of titanium dioxide to methyl 4-aminomethylbenzoate hydrochloride is 100:5~7, preferably 50:3.

[0012] As a further technical solution, the modified titanium dioxide is prepared as follows: 4-aminomethylbenzoate hydrochloride is dispersed evenly in a solvent, then added to the titanium dioxide and mixed, and then filtered and dried to obtain modified titanium dioxide.

[0013] As a further technical solution, the solvent is water.

[0014] As a further technical solution, the mixing temperature is 60~80℃, and the mixing time is 1~3h.

[0015] As a further technical solution, the polypropylene is composed of a first polypropylene and a second polypropylene, wherein the melt mass flow rates of the first polypropylene and the second polypropylene are different.

[0016] As a further technical solution, the melt flow rate of the first polypropylene is 18 g / 10 min, and the test conditions are 230℃ and 2.16 kg; the melt flow rate of the second polypropylene is 7 g / 10 min, and the test conditions are 230℃ and 2.16 kg.

[0017] This invention improves the mechanical properties of the anti-aging overhead insulated conductor protective layer by compounding a first polypropylene with a melt flow rate of 18 g / 10 min and a second polypropylene with a melt flow rate of 7 g / 10 min. The first polypropylene has a higher melt flow rate and better fluidity, which can significantly improve the processing and molding performance of the material and ensure that the components are uniformly mixed and form a continuous and dense matrix. The second polypropylene has a lower melt flow rate and a relatively higher molecular weight, which enhances the interaction and entanglement density between molecular chains. The compounding of the first and second polypropylenes not only ensures good processing and molding performance, but also strengthens the structural integrity, thereby improving the mechanical properties of the protective layer.

[0018] As a further technical solution, the mass ratio of the first polypropylene and the second polypropylene is 4:5~7, preferably 2:3.

[0019] As a further technical solution, the antioxidant includes one or more of antioxidant 1010, antioxidant 1076, and antioxidant 168.

[0020] As a further technical solution, the lubricant includes one or more of calcium stearate, microcrystalline wax, and pentaerythritol stearate.

[0021] As a further technical solution, the vulcanizing agent includes dicumyl peroxide.

[0022] As a further technical solution, the crosslinking aid includes triallyl isocyanurate.

[0023] The working principle and beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention provides an anti-aging overhead insulated conductor, which consists of a conductor core, a shielding layer, and a protective layer arranged sequentially from the inside out, forming a multi-layered protective structure. The conductor core is made of multiple strands of aluminum alloy wire, which improves the flexibility and mechanical strength of the core, ensuring stable power transmission. This, combined with the insulation layer, provides insulation protection and ensures stable power transmission. The shielding layer eliminates electric field concentration, resists electromagnetic interference, and prevents external signals from affecting transmission. The protective layer has excellent anti-aging properties, extending the conductor's service life. All layers work together to achieve both anti-aging properties and reliable transmission performance.
