Utility Model Content

[0006] Technical issues to be solved

[0007] In order to meet the requirements of strong acid corrosion resistance and environmental protection in a variety of use environments, the main problems that the utility model cable needs to solve are:

[0008] The existing cable design standards lack relevant design guidelines for cable resistance to strong acid corrosion, while industry users have requirements for strong acid corrosion resistance and environmental protection performance, so environmentally friendly polyurethane materials are introduced as the waterproof and anti-corrosion structure of low-voltage power cables.

[0009] During the design and trial production process, due to the flame retardant requirements of low-voltage power cables and the flammable characteristics of polyurethane materials, it was difficult to obtain products that met the flame retardant requirements according to the existing design guidelines.

[0010] The main reason is that most conventional polyurethane foam materials are open-cell structures with low strength and oxygen in the gaps, which makes the product flammable and releases toxic gases when burned. In order to eliminate these negative effects and make full use of the advantages of polyurethane materials, the following aspects are mainly designed in the structural design of this cable:

[0011] 1. Use closed-cell polyurethane foam, which has a certain strength and helps to enhance the overall mechanical properties of the cable.

[0012] 2. Increase the dehydration of polyurethane foam into carbon in advance, and form a dense expanded carbon layer with heat insulation and oxygen isolation effects on the surface of polyurethane foam to improve flame retardant properties.

[0013] During the foaming process of conventional polyurethane foam, the foam volume cannot be controlled and is prone to absorbing too much oxygen, resulting in instability of its own structure. This cable also has a wrapping structure (such as longitudinally wrapping double-sided insulating water-blocking tape) when it is cabled, which effectively controls the foaming volume, and the material of the wrapping structure is tightly adhered to the polyurethane foam, greatly enhancing the mechanical properties of the cable.

[0014] Through the above design, this cable not only meets the electrical properties of low-voltage power cables, but also meets the requirements of strong acid corrosion resistance test assessment, and improves the corrosion resistance, low toxicity and environmental protection performance of the cable filling and sheath.

[0015] Technical solutions adopted to solve the above technical problems

[0016] A low-voltage power cable based on polyurethane environmentally friendly anti-water tree insulation and strong acid corrosion resistance, the structure of which is:

[0017] It is composed of a second wrapping layer, an outer sheath and a polymer strong acid corrosion resistant waterproof layer wrapped around the cable core from the inside to the outside.

[0018] The cable core is composed of a wire core and a waterproof and anti-corrosion filling twisted together, and the cable pitch ratio ranges from 18 to 35 times; the waterproof and anti-corrosion filling is composed of polyurethane foam, which is a rigid foam closed-cell structure, and the pores are completely isolated from each other, with a pore size of 0.045 to 0.3 mm and a density of 35 to 40 kg / m 3 , thermal conductivity is 0.018~0.023W / (m·K);

[0019] Preferably, the waterproof and anti-corrosion filled polyurethane foam is dehydrated into carbon in advance, and the polyurethane foam surface has an expanded carbon layer. The polyurethane foam dehydrated into carbon in advance forms a dense expanded carbon layer with heat insulation and oxygen isolation on the surface of the polyurethane foam, which helps to improve the flame retardant performance.

[0020] The second wrapping layer is formed by wrapping a layer of double-sided insulating water-blocking tape;

[0021] The outer sheath is made of low-smoke halogen-free flame-retardant thermosetting EVA material extrusion, with a nominal thickness of not less than 3.0 mm and a thickness at the thinnest point of not less than 90% of the nominal thickness;

[0022] The polymer strong acid corrosion resistant waterproof layer is formed by coating with polyurethane coating; the thickness of the polymer strong acid corrosion resistant waterproof layer ranges from 0.5 to 2.2 mm.

[0023] The structure of a single wire core is conductor, insulation layer and first wrapping layer from inside to outside; the conductor is a circular structure composed of two types of special-shaped single wires twisted together;

[0024] The cross-sectional area of ​​the conductor ranges from 6 to 300 mm 2 ;

[0025] The thickness of the insulation layer ranges from 0.20 to 2.90 mm;

[0026] The first wrapping layer is formed by overlapping and wrapping a layer of semi-conductive nylon tape.

[0027] In order to enhance the mechanical properties of the cable, this cable uses thermosetting EVA material as the outer sheath material, with a nominal thickness of not less than 3.0 mm and a thickness at the thinnest point of not less than 90% of the nominal thickness. This thickness of thermosetting EVA material ensures its own strength and the mechanical properties of the cable.

[0028] Furthermore: a layer of semi-conductive nylon tape with a nominal thickness of 0.25 mm is wrapped between the conductor and the insulating layer, and the semi-conductive nylon tape should overlap with an overlap rate of not less than 15%.

[0029] Specifically: the conductor is a copper conductor, an aluminum conductor or an aluminum alloy conductor;

[0030] The copper conductor is composed of twisted shaped copper wires, and the twist pitch diameter ratio ranges from 16 to 32 times;

[0031] The aluminum conductor is composed of twisted shaped aluminum wires, and the twist pitch diameter ratio ranges from 17 to 38 times;

[0032] The aluminum alloy conductor is composed of twisted special-shaped aluminum alloy wires, and the twisted pitch diameter ratio ranges from 17 to 39 times.

[0033] Furthermore: the insulating layer is formed by extruding an environmentally friendly water-tree resistant cross-linked polyethylene insulating material.

[0034] Further: For case a: the cable is composed of copper conductors with a nominal cross-sectional area not exceeding 50mm2, and the cable core has a cable pitch diameter ratio of 18 to 21 times; in other cases except case a, the cable core has a cable pitch diameter ratio of 15 to 35 times.

[0035] Preferred:

[0036] The nominal thickness of the semi-conductive nylon tape of the first wrapping layer is 0.25 mm, and the wrapping overlap rate is not less than 15%;

[0037] The nominal thickness of the double-sided insulating water-blocking tape of the second wrapping layer is 0.35 mm, and the overlap rate is not less than 25%.

[0038] During the foaming process of conventional polyurethane foam, the foam volume cannot be controlled and it is easy to absorb too much oxygen, causing its own structural instability. The second wrapping layer of this cable is a double-sided insulating water-blocking tape wrapped longitudinally during cabling, which effectively controls the foaming volume, and the double-sided insulating water-blocking tape is tightly adhered to the polyurethane foam, greatly enhancing the mechanical properties of the cable.

[0039] The structural performance advantages of the polymer strong acid corrosion resistant waterproof layer using polyurethane coating are as follows:

[0040] Good anti-corrosion performance. The coating has good adhesion, toughness, wear resistance, elasticity and resistance to acid, alkali, salt, oil, petroleum products, benzene solvents and water, boiling water, seawater and chemical atmosphere.

[0041] Strong weather resistance. The coating has good weather resistance, light and color retention, high gloss and decorative properties, as well as good temperature resistance (can withstand 160°C).

[0042] Easy to construct. It dries quickly and can be cured normally at 0℃. It forms a thick film in one go and requires few construction passes. It can be constructed using common construction methods.

[0043] The structural performance advantages of polyurethane foam filling materials are as follows:

[0044] Compared with traditional filling materials, polyurethane has excellent natural properties such as tensile strength, tear strength, impact resistance, wear resistance, weather resistance, hydrolysis resistance, and oil resistance.

[0045] After adopting the above technical solution, the cable has the following beneficial effects:

[0046] (1) Extruded low-smoke halogen-free flame-retardant thermosetting EVA sheath material has good stability while meeting the traditional requirements for resistance to external stress and impact. It does not release harmful gases during long-term use, and the main structure does not collapse, so it can meet the requirements of mobile use.

[0047] (2) Based on the introduction of new materials and new structures, the specific structure of this cable also ensures the requirements of the cable's electrical and mechanical properties.

[0048] This cable can pass the flame retardant B1 bundled combustion test in GB / T18380.33-2008, meet the qualified indicators of low toxicity performance in GB / T 19666-2019, and pass the water permeability test requirements in GB / T 12706-2020.

[0049] The utility model cable uses environmentally friendly filling and flame retardant layers and a specific structure to achieve the effects of improving anti-water tree, anti-corrosion and waterproof performance, and can be used in bridges, offshore platforms, port machinery, factory equipment, storage tanks, pipelines and airports, stadiums and other building power facilities.

[0060] The cross-sectional area of ​​the conductor ranges from 6 to 300 mm2;

[0061] The thickness of the insulation layer ranges from 0.20 to 2.90 mm;

[0062] The first wrapping layer is formed by overlapping and wrapping a layer of semi-conductive nylon tape.
