Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of aviation cable technology, specifically, it relates to a highly flexible and environmentally resistant copper-clad aluminum composite aviation cable and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, the civilian drone and light aircraft industry has experienced explosive growth, rapidly becoming widespread in fields such as agricultural plant protection, geographic surveying and mapping, logistics and distribution, emergency rescue and low-altitude economy. As a core component of the aircraft's electrical system, the performance, weight and reliability of airborne cables directly determine the aircraft's range, load and operational safety.

[0003] The aerospace industry has long pursued lightweight design. Cables typically account for 5-15% of the total weight of an aircraft and are a key factor affecting flight endurance. Currently, the mainstream aviation cables use pure copper conductors, which have stable conductivity and reliable connections. However, their high density and weight significantly increase the load on the aircraft and shorten the flight range, making it difficult to meet the needs of long-endurance UAVs and light aircraft. Pure aluminum conductors, on the other hand, are lightweight and low-cost, but they have drawbacks such as low conductivity, susceptibility to oxidation and corrosion, poor flexibility, and weak bending resistance. Under the conditions of high-frequency vibration and frequent bending of aircraft, conductor breakage and poor contact are likely to occur, and the connection reliability cannot meet aviation-grade standards.

[0004] Copper-clad aluminum composite materials combine the excellent conductivity of copper with the lightweight advantages of aluminum, making them an ideal alternative for aerospace cable conductors. However, when manufacturing fine-diameter aerospace cables (such as AWG20-AWG28 specifications for UAVs), copper-clad aluminum wires are prone to breakage during the stranding process. This is because of the difference in ductility between the aluminum and copper layers, and the fact that traditional constant-pitch, constant-tension stranding processes cannot adapt to the brittle characteristics of copper-clad aluminum materials, resulting in low production yields and hindering large-scale mass production.

[0005] In addition, the sheath material also faces performance challenges. Drones often operate in harsh outdoor environments, including strong ultraviolet radiation, coastal salt spray corrosion, pesticide and chemical erosion, and alternating high and low temperature impacts. Traditional PVC sheaths are prone to aging and cracking under ultraviolet light, resulting in a short service life; while high-end fluoroplastics such as PTFE have excellent environmental resistance, their high material cost and processing difficulty make them unsuitable for the economic requirements of the civilian market. Therefore, it is urgent to solve these problems to meet the higher technical demands of the aviation cable technology field. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a highly flexible and environmentally resistant copper-clad aluminum composite aviation cable and its preparation method.

[0007] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions: A highly flexible and environmentally resistant copper-clad aluminum composite aviation cable includes a conductor layer, an inner adhesive sublayer, an outer weather-resistant sublayer, and a sheath layer.

[0008] Preferably, the conductor layer is formed by stranding multiple annealed copper-clad aluminum monofilaments through layered variable pitch.

[0009] Preferably, the volume percentage of the copper layer in the copper-clad aluminum monofilament is 10%-15%.

[0010] Preferably, in the layered variable pitch stranding, the inner layer stranding pitch L1 = 10-12d and the outer layer stranding pitch L2 = 14-16d.

[0011] Preferably, the material of the inner adhesive sublayer comprises the following raw materials in parts by weight: 80-100 parts thermoplastic vulcanized rubber, 6-8 parts maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene, and 0.5-1 parts antioxidant.

[0012] Preferably, the material of the outer weather-resistant sublayer comprises the following raw materials in parts by weight: 80-100 parts thermoplastic vulcanized rubber, 15-20 parts nano zinc oxide, 3-6 parts weather-resistant additives, and 1-2 parts lubricant.

[0013] Preferably, the material of the sheath layer comprises the following raw materials in parts by weight: 80-100 parts thermoplastic vulcanized rubber, 20-30 parts flame retardant, 0.5-1 part antioxidant, and 2-3 parts lubricant.

[0014] Preferably, the lubricant is one of zinc stearate, calcium stearate, and oleamide.

[0015] Preferably, the flame retardant is a mixture of an inorganic flame retardant and a phosphorus-based flame retardant in a mass ratio of 4:1.

[0016] Preferably, the weather-resistant additive is prepared by the following steps: A1. In a dry three-necked flask, 3-amino-p-cresol was dissolved in anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide, followed by the addition of perfluorovalerate. The mixture was cooled to 0-5°C in an ice-water bath with stirring. Then, 1-hydroxybenzotriazole and EDC·HCl were added sequentially, and stirring was continued for 20-30 min. N-methylmorpholine was added dropwise to adjust the pH of the reaction solution to 8. The ice bath was removed, and the mixture was heated to room temperature and stirred for 10-12 h. The reaction was completed. After post-treatment, the amidated product was obtained. The reaction formula for step A1 is as follows:

[0017] A2. In a four-necked flask, first add concentrated sulfuric acid (98% by mass) and water, then add o-nitroaniline while stirring. Cool to 0-5°C in an ice-water bath, then add sodium nitrite solution (30% by mass) dropwise. After the addition is complete, continue stirring for 1-1.5 hours. Once the reaction is complete, perform post-treatment to obtain a diazonium salt solution. A3. In a four-necked flask, first add the amidation product and N,N-dimethylformamide, stir well, cool in an ice-water bath to 0-5℃, then add sodium hydroxide solution (20% by mass) to adjust the pH to 7-9, and under this weakly alkaline condition, add the diazonium salt solution prepared in step A2 dropwise. After the addition is complete, continue the reaction for 2-3 hours. After the reaction is complete, perform post-processing to obtain the intermediate product. A4. In a four-necked flask, first add the intermediate product and N,N-dimethylformamide, stir well, cool in an ice-water bath to 0-5℃, slowly add sodium hydroxide solution (40% by mass) until the system is strongly alkaline (pH=12), after the addition is complete, remove the ice-water bath, heat to 60-70℃, finally add thiourea dioxide, and react at a constant temperature for 5-6 hours. After the reaction is complete, and after post-treatment, obtain the weather-resistant additive.

[0018] The reaction equations for steps A2-A4 are as follows:

[0019] Preferably, the ratio of the amounts of 3-amino-p-cresol, perfluorovalerate, 1-hydroxybenzotriazole and EDC·HCl in step A1 is 12.3g:26.4g:14.7g:20.5g.

[0021] Preferably, the ratio of the intermediate product to thiourea dioxide in step A4 is 50.7g:34.5g.

[0022] As can be seen from the above reaction formula, the weather-resistant additive prepared in this invention belongs to the benzotriazole class of ultraviolet absorbers. The benzotriazole structure has a strong ultraviolet absorption capacity, preferentially absorbing the highest-energy ultraviolet wavelengths in sunlight, converting harmful ultraviolet light into harmless heat energy, thus improving the UV resistance of the matrix. Furthermore, the weather-resistant additive introduces CF bonds, which have high bond energies. These bonds not only resist thermal degradation during long-term outdoor use but also improve the chemical inertness of the matrix, preventing corrosion from acidic substances or environmental moisture, thus achieving long-term protection. The two groups in the weather-resistant additive molecule work together to significantly improve the environmental resistance of the matrix.

[0023] This invention also provides a method for preparing a highly flexible and environmentally resistant copper-clad aluminum composite aviation cable, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Multiple annealed copper-clad aluminum wires are layered and twisted with variable pitch in a mold to form a conductor layer; Step 2: Apply a coupling agent coating to the surface of the stranded conductor layer and air dry at room temperature to improve the bonding force between the insulation and the conductor; Step 3: Weigh the raw materials of the inner adhesive layer and the outer weather-resistant layer separately, add them to the double-layer co-extrusion extruder, and extrude the inner adhesive layer and the outer weather-resistant layer simultaneously onto the surface of the conductor layer, and then cool. Step 4: Finally, weigh the raw material for the sheath layer, add it to the extruder, extrude it to coat the surface of the outer weather-resistant layer, and after cooling, obtain a highly flexible and environmentally resistant copper-clad aluminum composite aviation cable.

[0024] Preferably, the mold is a ceramic-diamond composite guide mold with an entrance angle of 12-15°.

[0025] Preferably, the coupling agent is a silane coupling agent, and the dosage is 0.05-0.1 g / m.

[0026] Preferably, during the processing of the double-layer co-extrusion extruder, the temperature of the inner bonding layer is 190-200℃, and the temperature of the outer weather-resistant layer is 200-210℃.

[0027] Preferably, the cooling is performed using segmented warm water cooling, with the first segment at 50-60°C and the second segment at 30-40°C.

[0028] The beneficial effects of this invention are: 1. This invention uses copper-clad aluminum composite material as the conductor, which combines the excellent conductivity of copper with the lightweight advantage of aluminum, and significantly reduces the weight of the cable while ensuring electrical performance. 2. The conductor layer of this invention adopts a layered variable pitch stranding process, combined with annealed copper-clad aluminum monofilaments, which effectively solves the problem of easy breakage of copper-clad aluminum wires during stranding, and improves the flexibility and bending resistance of the cable. 3. By introducing self-made weather-resistant additives into the outer weather-resistant sublayer, the cable has strong ultraviolet absorption capacity, resistance to thermal degradation and chemical corrosion, which significantly extends its service life in harsh outdoor environments. In summary, this invention achieves lightweight, high flexibility, and excellent environmental resistance in cables through copper-clad aluminum composite conductors, layered variable pitch stranding, and weather-resistant structural design, and solves the mass production problem of easily broken copper-clad aluminum wires.
