[0003] Most of the existing cables are cast from thermoplastic polyurethane, which has excellent properties such as wear resistance, resilience, elongation, tensile strength, and tensile modulus. They are widely used in cable sheaths, especially in mobile scenarios, where the advantages of polyurethane sheath materials can be better reflected.
[0004] However, the structural characteristics of polyurethane make it not resistant to hydrolysis or UV rays. If it is exposed to a humid or outdoor environment for a long time, the polyurethane housing material will undergo hydrolysis or UV degradation, resulting in destructive failure, which is potentially dangerous for its application. Therefore, a UV-resistant thermoplastic polyurethane cable is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0028] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0029] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 The utility model provides an embodiment: an anti-ultraviolet thermoplastic polyurethane cable, including a fiber core 1, the outer wall of the fiber core 1 is provided with a tough sleeve 2, the tough sleeve 2 includes a corrugated tube 21, the outer wall of the corrugated tube 21 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fiber core 1, the shape of the corrugated tube 21 is an inner flower type, so that it can transmit the pressure of the external environment to the arch feet on both sides through its arched surface, so that the overall pressure resistance of the device is better, the outer wall of the corrugated tube 21 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the thermoplastic sleeve 34, the thermoplastic sleeve 34 and the fiber core 1 are separated by the corrugated tube 21, so as to provide a firm support between the fiber core 1 and the thermoplastic sleeve 34, the upper and lower sides of the corrugated tube 21 The outer walls of the two sides are fixedly connected with thick tubes 22, and the two sides of the thick tubes 22 away from the bottom end of the outer wall of the corrugated tube 21 are fixedly connected with thin tubes 23. The thin tubes 23 are arranged so that when the thick tube 22 is deformed, the thin tubes 23 can further refine and distribute the pressure, and provide auxiliary support for the curved surface of the thick tube 22. The diameter of the thin tube 23 is smaller than the radius of the thick tube 22. The bottom end of the outer wall of the thin tube 23 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the thermoplastic sleeve 34. The bottom end of the outer wall of the thin tube 23 away from the thick tube 22 is fixedly provided with a protective layer 3. The thin tube 23 and the thick tube 22 are arranged in two groups, upper and lower, and can distribute the pressure at the upper and lower ends of the inside of the corrugated tube 21 at the same time.
[0030] The protective layer 3 includes an absorption layer 31. The material used for the absorption layer 31 is UV curing paint. UV curing paint is a special paint that contains ultraviolet-activated photosensitizers. When ultraviolet rays are irradiated to the surface of the paint, the photosensitizers will trigger the rapid curing of the paint to form a solid protective layer, thereby providing an anti-ultraviolet effect. The bottom end of the outer wall of the absorption layer 31 is fixedly connected with a waterproof layer 32. The material used for the waterproof layer 32 is silicone paint, which has excellent weather resistance and water resistance, and can maintain stability in high humidity and humid environments, thereby ensuring the normal use of the cable. The bottom end of the outer wall of the waterproof layer 32 is fixedly connected with a flame retardant layer 33. The material used for the flame retardant layer 33 is aluminum hydroxide, which is often used as a flame retardant. Since it releases moisture at high temperatures, it has the effect of lowering the temperature. The bottom end of the outer wall of the flame retardant layer 33 is fixedly connected with a thermoplastic sleeve 34. The thermoplastic sleeve 34 is a thermoplastic elastomer, usually copolymerized by polyether or polyester and diisocyanate, and has excellent elasticity and flexibility, so that it can return to its original shape after deformation.
[0031] Working principle: When the cable is in use, if a heavy object is pressed on the surface of the cable, the weight will press the thin tube 23 on the inner wall of the thermoplastic sleeve 34 downward to descend on the surface of the thick tube 22, thereby distributing the pressure of the thin tube 23, and the pressure is borne by the bellows 21, and buffered by the thick tube 22 and the thin tube 23 at the other end, thereby increasing the stability of the device to prevent excessive pressure due to gravity, which may easily cause damage to the fiber core 1 and make it unusable.
[0032] At the same time, by setting up the flame retardant layer 33, it can effectively prevent the cable from burning rapidly when encountering an open flame, thereby causing the interruption of the transmission signal and causing unnecessary losses. By attaching the absorption layer 31 on its surface, it can effectively protect against ultraviolet rays to increase the service life of the cable. The waterproof layer 32 has the same effect and can effectively protect the outside of the cable, thereby preventing corrosion on its surface, which can easily cause water to enter the inside of the fiber core 1 and cause signal transmission interruption.
[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
