Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power cable technology, and in particular to a steel-tape armored cross-linked polyolefin insulated flame-retardant power cable and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] As the core carrier of power and signal transmission, cables play an irreplaceable role in modern industry, construction, communication, transportation and other fields. With the increasing complexity of industrial environments and the high frequency of signal transmission requirements, the protective performance of traditional cables faces severe challenges. Therefore, armored cables, by adding a metal protective layer to the outer layer, effectively improve the cable's resistance to mechanical impact, rodent bites and chemical corrosion, and are widely used in laying applications such as direct burial, tunnels, and shafts where high mechanical protection is required.

[0003] However, when armored cables are subjected to bending deformation during laying or operation, the lack of rigid support at the gaps in the steel strips causes the sheath material to bulge inwards on the bending and tensile side, resulting in localized concentrated tensile deformation. When this deformation exceeds the elongation at break of the sheath material, the sheath begins to crack from the corresponding position in the gap. After the sheath cracks, external moisture and corrosive media can directly penetrate the armor layer and even the insulation layer, causing the cable's waterproof, corrosion-resistant, and flame-retardant functions to fail successively. This defect directly limits the cable's minimum bending radius, making it difficult to adapt to the installation requirements of narrow laying spaces.

[0004] Existing armor structures lack rigid support at the gaps in the steel strips to limit excessive protrusion of the sheath material into the gaps; on the other hand, they lack flexible buffering to evenly distribute bending strain. These two structural defects often lead to bending stress easily forming stress singularities at the gap edges, becoming the source of sheath cracking.

[0005] To address stress concentration at the gaps in the steel strips, current technologies often rely on adding a buffer layer between the steel strip armor layer and the flame-retardant cross-linked polyolefin insulation layer. However, the addition of the buffer layer not only increases material costs and process complexity but also fails to structurally solve the problem of the armor layer lacking rigid support and flexible buffering. Furthermore, the buffer layer material does not have flame-retardant and insulating capabilities, and once the sheath layer cracks and fails, it cannot prevent the spread of flames, thus posing an additional challenge to the insulation and flame-retardant performance of the armored cable.

[0006] Existing technologies attempt to improve the stress distribution of the sheath by optimizing the process parameters of the steel strip armor layer, but simple process optimization cannot improve the flame retardancy, insulation and flexibility of the insulation layer from the material and structural levels.

[0007] Therefore, how to simultaneously improve the electrical, mechanical, flame-retardant, and flexibility properties of the insulation layer at the material level without adding a buffer layer, thereby significantly improving the bending resistance and insulation flame-retardant ability of the cable, is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that the existing technology has the disadvantages of insufficient bending resistance and insufficient insulation and flame retardancy of steel tape armored power cables. To this end, we propose a steel tape armored cross-linked polyolefin insulated flame retardant power cable and its preparation method.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution: a steel-tape armored cross-linked polyolefin insulated flame-retardant power cable, wherein the cable comprises, from the inside out, a conductor, a flame-retardant cross-linked polyolefin insulation layer, a steel-tape armor layer, and a sheath layer; The flame-retardant cross-linked polyolefin insulation layer and sheath layer are made of modified cross-linked polyolefin. The modified crosslinked polyolefin was prepared by grafting polyolefin with a fluorinated cyclotriphosphazene derivative; The fluorinated cyclic triphosphazene derivative has the structure shown in Formula A:

[0010] Preferably, the conductor is an oxygen-free copper wire.

[0011] Preferably, the fluorinated cyclic triphosphazene derivative is prepared by the following steps: (1) In a reactor, hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene, undecenol, acid-binding agent and organic solvent are added and heated under inert gas protection. After the reaction is completed, the mixture is separated and purified to obtain a single long-chain olefin intermediate. (2) In a reactor, add a single long-chain olefin intermediate, potassium trimethylsilanolate and organic solvent, heat and react under inert gas protection, and after the reaction is completed, separate and purify to obtain a single long-chain olefin diethoxy intermediate; (3) In a reactor, a single long-chain olefin diesiloxy intermediate, a fluorinating agent, a phase transfer catalyst and an organic solvent are added and heated under inert gas protection. After the reaction is completed, the mixture is separated and purified to obtain the fluorinated cyclotriphosphazene derivative.

[0012] Preferably, in step (1), the acid-binding agent is selected from triethylamine or sodium carbonate; the organic solvent is selected from tetrahydrofuran or toluene; the inert gas is selected from nitrogen or argon; the reaction temperature is 20-40℃ and the reaction time is 12-24h; the molar ratio of hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene to undecenol is 1:0.9-1.1.

[0013] Preferably, in step (2), the organic solvent is selected from tetrahydrofuran or toluene; the inert gas is selected from nitrogen or argon; the reaction temperature is 65-90℃ and the reaction time is 6-12h; the molar ratio of the single long-chain olefin intermediate to potassium trimethylsilanolate is 1:1.8-2.2.

[0014] Preferably, in step (3), the fluorinating agent is selected from potassium fluoride, sodium fluoride, or potassium hydrofluoride; the phase transfer catalyst is tetrabutylammonium bromide; the organic solvent is selected from acetonitrile or N,N-dimethylformamide; the inert gas is selected from nitrogen or argon; the reaction temperature is 80-120℃, and the reaction time is 16-24h; the molar ratio of the single long-chain olefin diesiloxy intermediate to the fluorinating agent is 1:3-6.

[0015] Preferably, the modified crosslinked polyolefin is prepared by the following steps: (1) Add polyolefin, fluorinated cyclotriphosphazene derivative and initiator to a high-speed mixer and mix evenly to obtain a premix; (2) The premixed material is added to a twin-screw extruder, and after melt grafting reaction, it is extruded and granulated to obtain the modified cross-linked polyolefin.

[0016] Preferably, in step (1), the polyolefin is a low-density polyolefin; the initiator is dicumyl peroxide; the amount of fluorinated cyclotriphosphazene derivative added is 4-10% of the mass of the polyolefin; and the amount of initiator added is 0.3-1% of the mass of the polyolefin. In step (2), the temperature of the twin-screw extruder is 160-170℃, the screw speed is 150-200rpm, and the melt grafting reaction time is 2-3 minutes.

[0017] Preferably, the degree of crosslinking of the modified crosslinked polyolefin is 55-65%; the grafting rate of the modified crosslinked polyolefin is 2-5%.

[0018] Polyolefins undergo a grafting reaction with fluorinated cyclotriphosphazene derivatives under the action of initiators and melting conditions. Simultaneously, by controlling the melting grafting reaction time, preliminary crosslinking is achieved. The resulting modified crosslinked polyolefins contain some unreacted active sites and grafted siloxane structures, which can provide a reaction basis for subsequent irradiation crosslinking.

[0019] In this invention, polyolefins are melt-grafted and modified using the alkenyl structure of fluorinated cyclotriphosphazene derivatives. This effectively introduces fluorinated cyclotriphosphazene, long-chain alkanes, and siloxane structures into the side chains of polyolefins, resulting in excellent electrical, mechanical, flame-retardant properties and good flexibility after the formation of cross-linked polyolefins.

[0020] Preferably, the steel strip armor layer material is selected from galvanized steel strip or stainless steel strip; the flame-retardant cross-linked polyolefin insulation layer has a thickness of 1.0-1.2 mm; the steel strip armor layer has a thickness of 0.2-0.8 mm; and the sheath layer has a thickness of 1.5-2.5 mm.

[0021] Preferably, the steel strip armor layer material is galvanized steel strip.

[0022] In another aspect, the present invention also provides a method for preparing the steel-tape armored cross-linked polyolefin insulated flame-retardant power cable as described in any one of the above claims, comprising the following steps: (1) The flame-retardant cross-linked polyolefin insulation material is extruded onto the outside of the conductor to form a flame-retardant cross-linked polyolefin insulation layer; (2) Wrap the steel strip armor layer material around the outside of the flame-retardant cross-linked polyolefin insulation layer to form a steel strip armor layer; (3) The sheath material is extruded onto the outside of the steel tape armor layer to form a sheath layer, thus obtaining a cable; (4) The obtained cable is subjected to irradiation crosslinking to obtain the steel tape armored crosslinked polyolefin insulated flame-retardant power cable.

[0023] Preferably, a flame-retardant oxygen barrier layer may be extruded between the conductor and the flame-retardant cross-linked polyolefin insulation layer. By extruding a flame-retardant oxygen barrier layer on the outside of the conductor, the flame-retardant capability of the power cable can be further improved.

[0024] Preferably, the electron beam energy for crosslinking in step (4) is 0.7-0.9 MeV and the irradiation dose is 50-70 kGy.

[0025] Under irradiation, the unreacted sites of the modified crosslinked polyolefin and the siloxane undergo crosslinking.

[0026] In this invention, modified cross-linked polyolefin is used as the flame-retardant cross-linked polyolefin insulation layer and sheath layer material. After being extruded inside and outside the steel tape armor layer, it can partially fill the gaps in the steel tape through radiation cross-linking. Under the action of the siloxane network structure, a stable connection is achieved, which further improves the bending resistance of the power cable. At the same time, it avoids the impact of the addition of a buffer layer on its insulation and flame-retardant capabilities.

[0027] The technical effects and advantages of this invention are as follows: (1) The steel-tape armored cross-linked polyolefin insulated flame-retardant power cable provided by the present invention uses cross-linked polyolefin modified with fluorinated cyclotriphosphazene derivatives as the flame-retardant cross-linked polyolefin insulation layer and sheath layer material. Without adding a buffer layer, the problem of stress concentration in the steel tape armor layer leading to sheath layer failure can be improved from both material and structural aspects, thereby significantly improving the bending resistance of the power cable. At the same time, the modified cross-linked polyolefin can further improve the electrical, mechanical and flame-retardant properties of the power cable, making it widely applicable in the field of power cables.

[0028] (2) In the steel-tape armored cross-linked polyolefin insulated flame-retardant power cable provided by the present invention, the polyolefin is melt-grafted modified by the alkenyl structure of the fluorinated cyclotriphosphazene derivative, which can effectively introduce fluorinated cyclotriphosphazene, long-chain alkanes and siloxane structures into the side chain of the polyolefin, so that it has excellent electrical, mechanical, flame-retardant properties and good flexibility after forming cross-linked polyolefin.

[0029] (3) In the steel-tape armored cross-linked polyolefin insulated flame-retardant power cable provided by the present invention, the fluorinated cyclotriphosphazene derivative can further improve the fire-retardant properties of cross-linked polyolefin based on its polyphosphorus and polynitrogen structure. At the same time, its organic halogen-free flame-retardant mechanism has the advantages of low smoke and non-toxicity. On the other hand, its fluorinated structure can not only improve the thermal stability and hydrophobicity of the material, but also efficiently capture electrons, thereby improving the electrical and mechanical properties and high-temperature resistance of cross-linked polyolefin insulation.

[0030] (4) In the steel-tape armored cross-linked polyolefin insulated flame-retardant power cable provided by the present invention, on the one hand, by introducing a flexible long-chain alkane structure and a fluorinated cyclotriphosphazene derivative with large steric hindrance into the side chain of polyolefin, the polyolefin can maintain a certain flexibility when cross-linking to form cross-linked polyolefin, and thus use it as a material for flame-retardant cross-linked polyolefin insulation layer and sheath layer to provide flexible buffering at the gap of steel tape armor layer; on the other hand, the siloxane structure introduced in the side chain can cross-link to form a rigid network structure at the gap of steel tape, which can not only improve the bonding strength between layers, but also provide rigid support for steel tape armor layer. Under the combined effect of flexible buffering and rigid support, the bending resistance of power cable can be effectively improved.

[0031] (5) In the steel-tape armored cross-linked polyolefin insulated flame-retardant power cable provided by the present invention, the modified cross-linked polyolefin is used as the flame-retardant cross-linked polyolefin insulation layer and sheath layer material. After being extruded inside and outside the steel tape armor layer, it can be partially filled into the gap of the steel tape through radiation cross-linking, and a stable connection is achieved under the action of the siloxane network structure, which further improves the bending resistance of the power cable, while avoiding the addition of a buffer layer from affecting its electrical, mechanical and flame-retardant insulation capabilities.
