Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Overhead insulated cables have advantages such as small laying spacing, high safety and reliability, and less susceptibility to external environmental influences. They are widely used in urban and rural power grid transformation, forest areas, mining areas, and densely built-up areas. The reliability, stability, and durability of their performance are directly related to the safe operation of the entire system. Therefore, higher requirements are placed on the performance of overhead insulated cables.

[0003] During use, overhead insulation inevitably experiences thermal effects. These thermal effects accelerate the thermal movement of the molecular chains in the sheath material of overhead insulated cables, leading to molecular chain breakage and subsequent embrittlement, cracking, and pulverization of the sheath. Therefore, developing an aging-resistant overhead insulated cable is of great significance. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention proposes an aging-resistant overhead insulated cable, which solves the problem of insufficient aging resistance of the sheath layer in related technologies.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: This invention proposes an aging-resistant overhead insulated cable, comprising, from the inside out, a conductor, a shielding layer, an insulation layer, and a sheath layer; the conductor is composed of multiple stranded wires; the raw materials of the sheath layer include the following components by weight: 70-80 parts styrene-butadiene rubber, 20-30 parts nitrile rubber, 15-20 parts polycarbonate, 30-40 parts filler, 2-4 parts antioxidant, 3-5 parts aromatic oil, 1-3 parts vulcanizing agent, 3-5 parts activator, and 2-4 parts accelerator.

[0006] As a further technical solution, the conductor includes an aluminum alloy conductor or a copper alloy conductor.

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

[0008] As a further technical solution, the insulation layer is a cross-linked polyethylene insulation layer.

[0009] As a further technical solution, the filler is calcium silicate composite zirconium dioxide.

[0010] As a further technical solution, the preparation method of the calcium silicate composite zirconium dioxide includes the following steps: A1. After dispersing calcium silicate evenly in a solvent, add a surfactant and mix to obtain premixed solution I; A2. After adding zirconium oxychloride octahydrate to the premixed solution I and mixing, premixed solution II is obtained; A3. After adjusting the pH of the premixed solution II to 10-11, continue mixing, and then aging, filtering, and drying to obtain the calcium silicate composite zirconium dioxide.

[0011] This invention improves the aging resistance of the sheath layer of overhead insulated cables by adding calcium silicate composite zirconium dioxide as a filler. The reason is that calcium silicate itself has excellent heat aging resistance, but it is prone to agglomeration, which makes it difficult to fully exert its heat aging resistance performance and thus cannot effectively improve the aging resistance of the sheath layer. After the composite treatment of zirconium dioxide and calcium silicate, physical isolation between calcium silicate can be achieved, thereby effectively preventing secondary agglomeration of calcium silicate. At the same time, zirconium dioxide also has excellent thermal stability, which works synergistically with calcium silicate to further improve the aging resistance of the sheath layer of overhead insulated cables.

[0012] As a further technical solution, the mass ratio of calcium silicate to zirconium oxychloride octahydrate is 7:3~4, for example, it can be 7:3, 7:3.5, or 7:4, preferably 7:3.5.

[0013] As a further technical solution, in step A1, the mixing temperature is 35~45℃ and the mixing time is 1.5~2.5h.

[0014] As a further technical solution, in step A1, the solvent is water.

[0015] As a further technical solution, in step A2, the mixing temperature is 35~45℃ and the mixing time is 1~2h.

[0016] As a further technical solution, the mass ratio of calcium silicate to surfactant is 100:5~7.

[0017] As a further technical solution, in step A3, the aging time is 1~2 hours.

[0018] As a further technical solution, the polycarbonate is composed of a first polycarbonate and a second polycarbonate, wherein the first polycarbonate and the second polycarbonate have different melt indices.

[0019] As a further technical solution, the melt index of the first polycarbonate is 9 cm⁻¹. 3 / 10min; the melt index of the second polycarbonate is 34cm. 3 / 10min; the test conditions for the melt index of the first and second polycarbonates were both 300℃ / 1.2kg.

[0020] This invention improves the mechanical properties of the sheath layer of overhead insulated cables by using polycarbonates with different melt indices. The first polycarbonate with a lower melt index provides good structural stability and molding density for the sheath layer, reducing problems such as internal porosity and defects caused by excessively fast melt flow during processing. The second polycarbonate with a higher melt index improves the overall processing fluidity of the sheath layer raw material system, improves the dispersion uniformity of raw materials during mixing and extrusion molding, and avoids problems such as uneven component dispersion and poor interfacial bonding caused by insufficient system fluidity. Thus, the mechanical properties of the sheath layer of overhead insulated cables are synergistically improved.

[0021] As a further technical solution, the mass ratio of the first polycarbonate and the second polycarbonate is 7:5 to 6, for example, it can be 7:5, 7:5.5, or 7:6, preferably 7:5.5.

[0022] As a further technical solution, the antioxidant includes one or more of antioxidant 4010NA, antioxidant RD, and antioxidant 2246.

[0023] As a further technical solution, the vulcanizing agent is sulfur.

[0024] As a further technical solution, the activator includes zinc oxide and stearic acid.

[0025] As a further technical solution, the accelerator includes one or more of accelerator M, accelerator CZ, and accelerator DM.

[0026] The working principle and beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention improves the aging resistance of the sheath layer of overhead insulated cables by using a combination of styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), nitrile rubber (NBR), and polycarbonate. SBR serves as the main base material, providing the sheath layer with basic aging resistance. Polycarbonate, with its high heat distortion temperature, acts as a heat-resistant reinforcing phase. The polarity of NBR acts as a compatibilizer, improving the dispersion of polycarbonate within SBR. The synergistic effect of these three materials effectively inhibits chain breakage and phase separation caused by heat aging, thereby enhancing the aging resistance of the overhead insulated cable sheath layer.
