Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of cable technology, and in particular to a processing technology for high-temperature resistant ultra-flexible motor lead wires. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, motors, especially those with high power density or operating in high-temperature environments (such as drive motors for new energy vehicles and servo motors), face more stringent requirements for the performance of their lead wires. Lead wires not only need excellent electrical insulation, but also must withstand the high temperatures generated inside the motor and the mechanical stresses under complex external operating conditions, especially the challenges posed by frequent bending.
[0003] Traditional solutions often focus on improving a single property of the material. For example, heat-resistant silicone rubber (such as methyl vinyl silicone rubber) is used as an insulating material, and its high-temperature resistance is improved by introducing phenyl side groups (such as methyl phenyl silicone rubber). However, increasing the phenyl content in silicone rubber often sacrifices the material's flexibility, leading to increased insulation layer hardness and a larger minimum bending radius. Under installation, wiring, or long-term vibration and bending conditions, this can easily cause problems such as insulation layer cracking and conductor fatigue breakage, affecting connection reliability.
[0004] Another common technical approach involves adding thermally conductive insulating fillers, such as hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), to silicone rubber insulators to improve heat dissipation and enhance corona or partial discharge resistance. However, the introduction of fillers, especially when their content is high or unevenly dispersed, can significantly worsen the processing flowability and mechanical properties of the compound after curing, making the cable stiff and hindering flexible applications. More importantly, homogeneous filler systems form numerous inorganic-organic interfaces within the compound. These interfaces can become the origin of defects during thermo-oxidative aging, leading to decreased insulation resistance and deteriorated dielectric properties.
[0005] Furthermore, existing heat-resistant flexible leads mostly employ single-layer insulation structures or simple inner and outer double-layer structures. Single-layer homogeneous structures struggle to simultaneously optimize inner flexibility, stress buffering in the middle layer, and heat resistance protection in the outer layer. Meanwhile, simple double-layer structures, if poorly designed with appropriate interlayer formulations and performance gradients, are prone to interlayer stress concentration under thermal and mechanical coupling due to modulus or thermal expansion coefficient mismatches. This can lead to delamination after long-term use, becoming a weak point in insulation breakdown. Therefore, systematically addressing the reduced flexibility, decreased bending reliability, and interlayer interface failure after long-term thermal aging caused by high-filler or high-phenyl systems, while ensuring the heat resistance and insulation performance of the motor lead wire foundation, has become a critical technical challenge requiring breakthroughs in this field. Summary of the Invention
[0006] In view of this, the purpose of this invention is to propose a processing technology for high-temperature resistant ultra-flexible motor leads, so as to solve the technical problems of decreased flexibility and poor bending reliability of existing high-temperature resistant motor leads caused by simply increasing the phenyl content or uniformly adding fillers, as well as the increase of interface defects and degradation of insulation performance after high-temperature aging caused by interlayer performance mismatch.

[0027] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0028] (1) This invention achieves a gradient distribution and synergistic effect in performance by designing a three-layer composite insulation structure with progressively increasing phenyl side groups from the inside out and differentiated modification of hexagonal boron nitride filler in different zones. The inner methyl-rich adhesive ensures ultra-flexibility and low modulus in the contact layer with the conductor, with a minimum bending radius as low as 6 mm, effectively absorbing bending stress; the outer phenyl-rich adhesive combined with phenyl-vinylbissilane-modified BN provides excellent high-temperature resistance and thermal conductivity; the intermediate transition adhesive and the corresponding BN modification method play a good role in connecting the flexible and rigid layers and providing stress buffering. This structural design enables the product to achieve a conductor resistance change rate as low as 0.22% after harsh bending tests, significantly improving the reliability of long-term use.
[0029] (2) This invention introduces monovinyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane as a flexible segment into the inner compound and employs differentiated ratios of hydrogen-containing silicone oil and inhibitors in the three-layer compound to construct a crosslinking sequence and gradient crosslinking density adapted from the inside out. The moderately delayed crosslinking on the inner side ensures sufficient flow and coating of the compound on the conductor surface, forming a dense interface; the earlier and higher degree of crosslinking on the outer side rapidly constructs a heat-resistant skeleton. Combined with a specific multi-stage heating and vulcanization process, this design significantly reduces interlayer stress caused by differences in curing shrinkage. Test results show that this synergistic effect can effectively inhibit the hardening and embrittlement of the insulation layer after high-temperature aging. The elongation at break after aging can reach up to 86.4%, and the insulation resistance can reach up to 15465 MΩ·km, far exceeding the comparative example, thus solving the contradiction of flexibility and thermal stability that is common in high heat-resistant material systems.

All other conditions are the same as in Example 1.
[0079] Comparative Example 2:
[0080] The difference from Example 1 is that the addition positions of hexagonal boron nitride in steps 5, 6, and 7 are adjusted to be uniformly distributed. Specifically, in step 5, 23.3g of vinylsilane-modified hexagonal boron nitride is added to the transition zone obtained in step 3; in step 6, 23.3g of vinylsilane-modified hexagonal boron nitride is added to the transition zone obtained in step 3; and in step 7, 23.4g of phenyl-vinylbissilane-modified hexagonal boron nitride is added to the outer layer obtained in step 2. Simultaneously, the amount of hydrophobic fumed silica in step 5 is adjusted from 90g to 66.7g, in step 6 from 110g to 106.7g, and in step 7 from 90g to 116.6g, so that the total mass of hydrophobic fumed silica and modified hexagonal boron nitride in the three-layer adhesive is consistent with that in Example 1.

The order of addition of the remaining raw materials, the amount of platinum-divinyltetramethyldisiloxane complex, the mixing conditions, and the degassing conditions in steps 5, 6, and 7 remain unchanged. All other conditions are the same as in Example 1.
[0089] Comparative Example 7:
[0090] The difference from Example 1 is that in step 8, after extrusion, instead of sequentially passing through a 90°C hot air section for 4 minutes, a 130°C hot air section for 6 minutes, a 165°C hot air section for 8 minutes, and a 200°C hot air section for 12 minutes, the wire rod is directly passed through a 200°C hot air section for 30 minutes; subsequently, the wire rod is still placed in a 220°C oven for vulcanization for 2 hours. The remaining conditions are the same as in Example 1.
[0091] Performance testing:
[0092] The samples used for performance testing were all derived from the high-temperature resistant ultra-flexible motor leads prepared in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-7. For each example or comparative example, a 50m long motor lead was continuously prepared. After discarding the first and last 5m, test samples were taken from the middle 40m segment. For samples used in infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, thermal conductivity, Shore hardness, and tensile testing, the insulator was first cut along the conductor axis, and the nickel-plated fine stranded copper conductor was peeled off. Samples were then taken from the inner, middle, and outer positions. Samples used for finished product electrical performance and bending performance testing were directly cut from the finished motor lead. All samples were conditioned for 24 hours at 23°C and 50% relative humidity before testing. To ensure fair comparison, the examples and comparative examples used the same conductor specifications, the same raw material batch, the same three-layer co-extrusion equipment, the same traction equipment, the same post-vulcanization oven, and the same testing instruments.
[0093] Thermal conductivity test: The thermal conductivity was tested according to GB / T 10297-2015 "Determination of thermal conductivity of non-metallic solid materials - hot wire method". The outer phenyl-enriched rubber materials obtained in step 7 of Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-7 were used to prepare flat plate samples with a thickness of 2.0 mm, a length of 100 mm, and a width of 100 mm under the same hot air segmented vulcanization and post-vulcanization conditions as the corresponding examples or comparative examples. Before testing, the flat plate samples were conditioned for 24 hours at 23°C and 50% relative humidity. The test temperature was 25°C. Three flat plates were selected for each sample, and three locations were tested on each plate. The average of the nine test values was taken as the thermal conductivity of the sample.
[0094] Mechanical properties after high-temperature hot air aging: The mechanical properties before and after hot air aging were tested according to GB / T 2951.11-2008 "General Test Methods for Insulation and Sheath Materials of Cables and Optical Fibers - Part 11: General Test Methods - Thickness and Dimensional Measurement - Mechanical Properties Test" and GB / T2951.12-2008 "General Test Methods for Insulation and Sheath Materials of Cables and Optical Fibers - Part 12: General Test Methods - Thermal Aging Test Method". 5m of motor leads from Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-7 were taken, and the insulation was peeled off and strips were cut axially. The sample width was 4.0mm, the gauge length was 20mm, and the tensile speed was 250mm / min. The aging conditions were 220℃ hot air aging for 168h, followed by a 16h recovery period at 23℃ and 50% relative humidity before testing. Record the tensile strength before aging, tensile strength after aging, elongation at break before aging, and elongation at break after aging, and calculate the retention rate of tensile strength and elongation at break after aging. Five samples were tested for each sample, and the average value was taken.
[0095] Shore hardness change: The Shore A hardness was tested according to GB / T 39693.4-2025 "Determination of hardness of vulcanized rubber or thermoplastic rubber - Part 4: Determination of indentation hardness by Shore hardness tester (Shore hardness)". The inner methyl-rich rubber compounds obtained in step 5 of Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-7 were used, and 6.0 mm thick flat plate samples were prepared according to the vulcanization conditions of the corresponding examples or comparative examples; three plates were prepared for each sample. Before testing, the samples were conditioned in an environment of 23℃ and 50% relative humidity for 24 hours. The Shore A hardness was measured using a Shore A hardness tester, with five measuring points on each plate, the distance between the measuring points not less than 6 mm, and the hardness before aging was recorded. Subsequently, the same batch of plates were placed in hot air at 220℃ for 168 hours, and after a 16-hour recovery period, the hardness after aging was tested using the same method, and the difference between the hardness after aging and the hardness before aging was calculated.
[0096] Minimum bending radius: Based on the bending test concept in GB / T 5013.2-2008 "Rubber insulated cables with rated voltage of 450 / 750V and below - Part 2: Test methods", the minimum bending radius of the finished motor lead wire was tested. Five motor lead wires from Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-7 were used, each with a length of 500mm. After conditioning the samples in an environment of 23℃ and 50% relative humidity for 24 hours, they were successively wound around stainless steel cylindrical mandrels with radii of 15mm, 12mm, 10mm, 8mm, and 6mm, holding each radius for 60 seconds. After each bend, the insulation surface was observed under a 10x magnifying glass for cracks, whitening, bulging, or conductor exposure. The bent samples were then subjected to an AC withstand voltage pre-test according to GB / T 3048.8-2007. The minimum mandrel radius that showed no cracks, whitening, bulging, conductor exposure, and passed the AC withstand voltage pre-test was recorded as the minimum bending radius. Five samples were tested for each sample, and the median value was taken as the result.
[0097] The rate of change of conductor resistance after repeated bending: Based on the flexural test method in GB / T 5013.2-2008, and according to GB / T 3048.4-2025 "Test Methods for Electrical Properties of Wires and Cables Part 4: DC Resistance Test of Conductors", the DC resistance of the conductor before and after bending was determined. Three motor leads from Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-7 were used, each with a length of 1000 mm. Before testing, the samples were conditioned for 24 hours at 23℃ and 50% relative humidity. The DC resistance of each sample was measured at 20℃ as the resistance before bending. Then, the samples were installed on a reciprocating bending device with a bending radius of 10 mm, a bending angle of 90° to the left and right, a frequency of 30 times / min, and continuous bending for 5000 times. After bending, the DC resistance of the conductor at 20℃ was measured again, and the rate of change of conductor DC resistance was calculated. The average value of three samples was taken for each sample.
[0098] Insulation resistance: The insulation resistance was tested according to GB / T 3048.5-2007 "Test Methods for Electrical Properties of Wires and Cables - Part 5: Insulation Resistance Test". Three motor leads from Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-7 were used, each 5m long. 20mm of insulation was stripped from both ends, and the ends were ensured to be dry before connecting the conductors to the water bath electrodes. The samples were immersed in a 20℃ water bath for 2 hours before testing. The test voltage was 500V DC. After applying the voltage for 1 minute, the stable resistance value was read and converted to MΩ·km according to the sample length. Three leads were tested for each sample, and the average value was taken.
[0099] AC withstand voltage: The AC withstand voltage test was conducted according to GB / T 3048.8-2007 "Test Methods for Electrical Performance of Wires and Cables - Part 8: AC Voltage Test". Three motor leads from Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-7 were used, each 5m in length. Before the AC withstand voltage test, the samples were immersed in a 20℃ water bath for 2 hours. The conductor was connected to the high-voltage end, the water bath electrodes were grounded, and a 3000V power frequency AC voltage was applied and maintained for 5 minutes. The results of breakdown, flashover, or no breakdown were recorded.

[0102] As shown in Table 1, the motor leads obtained in Examples 1-5 achieved a good overall balance between thermal conductivity, heat aging resistance, flexibility, and insulation performance. In Comparative Example 1, after adjusting the methyl / phenyl polysiloxane ratio in the three-layer compound to be the same, although the modified hexagonal boron nitride on the outer side and the monovinyl segment on the inner side were still retained, the structure of the phenyl side groups increasing from the inside to the outside was weakened, the thermal conductivity decreased to 0.326 W / (m·K), and the retention rates of tensile strength and elongation at break after aging decreased to 81.5% and 70.6%, respectively. The minimum bending radius increased to 12 mm, indicating that simply using a uniform phenyl content is insufficient to simultaneously achieve both external heat resistance and internal flexibility.
[0103] In Comparative Example 2, after hexagonal boron nitride was evenly distributed in the three-layer compound, the thermally conductive filler and the lamellae barrier effect on the outer side were insufficient. At the same time, the introduction of lamellae filler into the inner compound increased the bending stress, and its thermal conductivity was only 0.278 W / (m·K). After 5000 bends, the change rate of DC resistance of the conductor increased to 1.08%, indicating that the more uniform the addition of hexagonal boron nitride, the more beneficial it is.
[0104] In Comparative Example 3, after replacing the outer phenyl-vinylbissilane modified hexagonal boron nitride with vinylsilane modified hexagonal boron nitride, the thermal conductivity, tensile strength, and insulation resistance were all lower than those in Example 1. This indicates that using bissilane modified fillers that are compatible with the phenyl chain segments in the outer phenyl-rich adhesive is beneficial for reducing outer interface defects and improving thermal conductivity continuity.
[0105] The thermal conductivity of Comparative Example 4 is close to that of Example 1, but its elongation at break retention rate, resistance change rate after bending, and insulation resistance are all lower than those of Example 1, indicating that the modification method of the filler in the transition zone has an important impact on the stress transfer and interface continuity between the three layers.
[0106] In Comparative Example 5, after removing the inner monovinyl end-capped polydimethylsiloxane, the tensile strength could still be maintained at 9.0 MPa, but the elongation at break decreased to 336.7%, the minimum bending radius increased to 15 mm, and the change rate of DC resistance of the conductor increased to 1.40% after 5000 bends. This indicates that the inner single-end access segment has a significant effect on maintaining ultra-flexibility and reducing bending damage.
[0107] After the gradient combination of crosslinking agent / inhibitor and the segmented temperature rise vulcanization procedure were cancelled in Comparative Examples 6 and 7, respectively, the elongation retention rate after aging decreased to 64.5% and 61.7%, respectively, and the insulation resistance decreased to 7344 MΩ·km and 6021 MΩ·km, respectively. This indicates that the crosslinking sequence and vulcanization procedure have an important impact on reducing interlayer stress concentration and insulation defects.
[0108] Compared with the comparative examples above, Examples 1-5, through the combination of inner methyl-enriched adhesive, transition adhesive, and outer phenyl-enriched adhesive, maintain the flexibility of the inner side, with the transition zone serving as a connector and buffer, and the outer side serving as a heat-resistant, thermally conductive, and barrier. Among them, the DC resistance change rate of the conductor after 5000 bends in Example 1 was only 0.22%, the thermal conductivity and insulation resistance of Example 3 reached 0.391 W / (m·K) and 15465 MΩ·km, respectively, and the elongation at break after aging in Example 5 reached 85.1%. This shows that the present invention is not simply achieved by increasing the phenyl content, adding hexagonal boron nitride alone, or simply increasing the crosslinking density, but by the synergistic combination of phenyl gradient, filler partition modification, and crosslinking time gradient, to achieve a comprehensive improvement in high temperature resistance, ultra-flexibility, and stable electrical properties.
