Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of cables, and in particular relates to a cable with a flame retardant layer. Background Art

[0002] Cable is a device for transmitting electric energy or signals, usually composed of several or several groups of wires. Cables include power cables, control cables, compensation cables, shielded cables, high temperature cables, computer cables, signal cables, coaxial cables, fire-resistant cables, marine cables, mining cables, aluminum alloy cables, etc. They are all composed of single or multiple wires and insulation layers, and are used to connect circuits, electrical appliances, etc.

[0003] During long-term operation, especially when under high load, the cable will generate a lot of heat. The heat-generating component in the cable is the metal conductor. Currently, the conductor basically adopts a copper structure. In order to avoid the problem of spontaneous combustion of copper conductors due to heat, an insulating layer, a fire-resistant layer, etc. are set on the outside of the conductor. However, this method can only delay the occurrence of spontaneous combustion. Once spontaneous combustion occurs, it cannot be prevented. Therefore, there are great limitations in actual use and there is room for improvement. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a cable with a flame retardant layer, the cable comprising an outer sheath, and at least two mutually twisted wires arranged in the outer sheath, each wire comprising a conductor, and a protective component, the protective component being sheathed on the outside of the conductor; the protective component is composed of a fire-resistant layer, a flame retardant layer, and an insulating layer sheathed in sequence from the inside to the outside;

[0006] A plurality of independent through grooves are formed inside the flame retardant layer. The through grooves are distributed at equal angles in the flame retardant layer, and fire extinguishing dry powder is filled in the through grooves.

[0007] Preferably, the through grooves are arranged along the axial spacing of the flame retardant layer, and the through grooves in the axial direction of the flame retardant layer are distributed in a spiral rotation, so that in a top view, the through grooves can achieve comprehensive coverage of various areas of the conductor, and extinguish open flames generated by the conductor at any position. At the same time, compared with this arrangement in which the through grooves are opened in the same shape as the cross-section of the flame retardant layer, the structure of the utility model can reduce the production cost and the dead weight of the flame retardant layer.

[0008] Preferably, a connecting layer is hot-melt bonded to the inner side of the flame retardant layer, and a sealed cavity is formed between the connecting layer and the through groove, wherein the fire extinguishing dry powder is placed in the cavity. During processing, the through groove on the flame retardant layer is first punched as a whole, and then the connecting layer is bonded to achieve connection.

[0009] Preferably, a refractory particle layer is sprayed on the outer surface of the refractory layer, and the thickness of the refractory particle layer is less than one third of the thickness of the refractory layer. The refractory performance of the refractory layer can be improved by providing the refractory particle layer.

[0010] Preferably, the volume of the fire extinguishing dry powder is less than three quarters of the volume of the sealed cavity to avoid excessive addition of dry powder and resulting in increased costs.

[0011] Preferably, an inner sheath is further provided inside the outer sheath, and the inner sheath is sleeved outside the mutually twisted wires, and there is a gap between the inner sheath and the wires, and the gap is filled with a filling part.

[0012] Preferably, a through hole is opened in the middle of the filling portion to reduce the deadweight of the entire cable, and the through hole is arranged in segments along the axial direction of the outer sheath.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0014] The designed flame-retardant layer, in combination with the existing insulating layer and fire-resistant layer, can further delay the spontaneous combustion process of the conductor and improve the safety of cable use. At the same time, the fire-extinguishing dry powder filled in the flame-retardant layer can extinguish the spontaneous combustion of the cable in the early stage, thereby achieving a flame-retardant effect, further improving the safety of cable use, and improving the shortcomings of existing cables in use.

At this time, the fire extinguishing dry powder in the through grooves 104a is exposed, and the open flame is automatically extinguished. The fire extinguishing dry powder is made of fine particles made by mixing and grinding a fire extinguishing base material such as baking soda, ammonium carbonate, ammonium salt of phosphate, etc., and an appropriate amount of lubricant magnesium stearate, mica powder, talcum powder, etc., and a small amount of moisture-proof agent silica gel.

At the same time, compared with this setting in which the through grooves 104a are opened in the same shape as the cross-section of the flame retardant layer 104, the structure of the utility model can reduce the production cost and the dead weight of the flame retardant layer 104.

This method of spraying to achieve fire resistance is a prior art. Specifically, reference may be made to a method for on-site spraying and filling of a refractory lightweight granular wall recorded in CN107435400A, which will not be further elaborated here.

[0027] In this embodiment, preferably, the volume of the fire extinguishing dry powder is less than three quarters of the volume of the sealed cavity to avoid excessive addition of dry powder and resulting in increased costs.
