[0028] Example

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the utility model proposes a kind of anti-freeze cracking plastic insulated control cable, comprising a control core 1 for transmitting data signals, the control core 1 comprising a control conductor 11, a control insulation layer 12, a control shielding layer 13, an inner insulation layer 14, a reinforcing core wire 15, and an inner filling layer 16, and multiple groups of control conductors 11 are distributed in a ring array for transmitting control signals. A control insulation layer 12 is arranged on the outside of each group of control conductors 11 for insulation to prevent multiple groups of control conductors 11 from contacting each other and short-circuiting. A control shielding layer 13 is sleeved on the outside of the control insulation layer 12 to prevent the control conductor 11 from being disturbed by an external magnetic field and ensure the stable transmission of the control signal in the control conductor 11. The inner insulation layer 14 is sleeved on the outside of multiple groups of control shielding layers 13 to prevent external heat from entering the control core 1 and ensure that the control conductor 11 works at a suitable temperature. The control insulation layer 12 and the inner insulation layer 14 are both made of fluororubber material, which has good thermal insulation performance and can effectively isolate heat conduction. In a high temperature environment, fluororubber can provide reliable thermal insulation protection and help prevent the influence of heat on the control conductor 11. The reinforcing core wire 15 is arranged at the center of the multiple control conductors 11 to strengthen the structure and improve the tensile strength of the cable. The gap between the control shielding layer 13 and the reinforcing core wire 15 located inside the inner insulating layer 14 is filled with an inner filling layer 16. The inner filling layer 16 is made of mineral wool material and has excellent thermal insulation performance. It can effectively isolate heat and slow down heat propagation. It provides additional thermal insulation protection while filling the gap to prevent the control conductor 11 from being affected by the heat generated when the first power conductor 21 and the second power conductor 22 are energized.

[0030] Furthermore, the cable comprises a power core 2 for transmitting electric energy in a circular array distributed outside the control core 1, and the power core 2 comprises a first power conductor 21, a second power conductor 22, a first power insulation layer 23, a first power shielding layer 24, a second power insulation layer 25, and a second power shielding layer 26. The number of the first power conductors 21 and the second power conductors 22 is the same, and the first power conductors 21 and the second power conductors 22 are both made of copper with a purity of more than 99.9%. Such high-purity copper is usually called electrolytic copper, which has an extremely low impurity content and can provide excellent conductivity and stability. The outer ring of the first power conductor 21 is provided with a first power insulation layer 23, and the outer side of the first power insulation layer 23 is provided with a first power shielding layer 24, and the outer ring of the second power conductor 22 is provided with a second power insulation layer 25, and the outer side of the second power insulation layer 25 is provided with a second power shielding layer 26. The first power insulation layer 23 and the second power insulation layer 25 are both made of polytetrafluoroethylene material, which has excellent thermal conductivity and excellent high temperature resistance. Its thermal conductivity is low, but it still maintains stable performance at high temperatures, so that the heat generated by the first power conductor 21 and the second power conductor 22 when energized is dissipated outward, and its shape will not change due to the increase in temperature. The first power shielding layer 24 and the second power shielding layer 26 are set to different colors to facilitate wiring operations.

[0031] Furthermore, the above-mentioned cable also includes a coating layer 3 wrapped around the outside of the control core 1 and the power core 2, and the coating layer 3 plays a role in fixing the position of the control core 1 and the power core 2. The gap between the control core 1 and the power core 2 located inside the coating layer 3 is filled with an outer filling layer 4, and the outer filling layer 4 is made of polyethylene material containing fine quartz powder or aluminum hydroxide as a filling material, and has excellent flame retardant and thermal diffusion properties. It is used to diffuse the heat generated by the first power conductor 21 and the second power conductor 22 when energized to the outside, increase the overall temperature of the cable, and prevent the surface from freezing and cracking. An outer shielding layer 5 is provided on the outside of the coating layer 3, and a separation layer 6 is provided around the outer periphery of the outer shielding layer 5 to separate the outer shielding layer 5 from the armor layer 7 to prevent mutual wear. An armor layer 7 is provided on the outside of the separation layer 6. The armor layer 7 is woven with multiple strands of steel wire, has good flexibility and tensile resistance, and can effectively protect the cable from external damage and tensile force. The outer side of the armor layer 7 is provided with an outer insulating layer 8, which is made of cross-linked polyethylene material, has excellent cold resistance, can maintain flexibility at lower temperatures, and is not prone to freezing and cracking in cables used in cold areas or in low-temperature environments. The outer shielding layer 5, the control shielding layer 13, the first power shielding layer 24, and the second power shielding layer 26 in the above-mentioned cable are all woven with copper wire or aluminum wire, have good flexibility and conductivity, and can provide an effective electromagnetic shielding effect to prevent electromagnetic interference from affecting the operation of the cable.

[0032] In this embodiment, when in use, multiple groups of control conductors 11 distributed in an annular array transmit control signals, and the first power conductor 21 and the second power conductor 22 have extremely low impurity content, which can provide excellent conductivity and stability for transmitting electric energy. The control insulation layer 12 and the inner insulation layer 14 have good thermal insulation performance, which can effectively isolate heat conduction, provide reliable thermal insulation protection in a high temperature environment, and help prevent the influence of heat on the control conductor 11. The reinforcing core wire 15 strengthens the structure and improves the tensile strength of the cable. The inner filling layer 16 has excellent thermal insulation performance, which can effectively isolate heat and slow down the spread of heat. While filling the gap, it provides additional thermal insulation protection to prevent the control conductor 11 from being affected by the heat generated when the first power conductor 21 and the second power conductor 22 are energized. The first power insulation layer 23 and the second power insulation layer 25 have excellent thermal conductivity and excellent high temperature resistance. Its thermal conductivity is low, but it still maintains stable performance at high temperatures, so that the heat generated when the first power conductor 21 and the second power conductor 22 are energized can be dissipated outward, and its shape will not change due to the increase in temperature. The outer filling layer 4 has excellent flame retardant and thermal diffusion properties, and is used to diffuse the heat generated by the first power conductor 21 and the second power conductor 22 when energized, thereby increasing the overall temperature of the cable and preventing the surface from freezing and cracking. The separation layer 6 separates the outer shielding layer 5 and the armor layer 7 to prevent mutual wear. The armor layer 7 has good flexibility and tensile strength, and can effectively protect the cable from external damage and tensile force. The outer insulating layer 8 has excellent cold resistance and can maintain flexibility at lower temperatures. It is not easy to freeze and crack in cables used in cold areas or in low-temperature environments. The outer shielding layer 5, the control shielding layer 13, the first power shielding layer 24 and the second power shielding layer 26 all have good flexibility and conductivity, and can provide an effective electromagnetic shielding effect to prevent electromagnetic interference from affecting the operation of the cable.

[0033] The above specific embodiment is only an optional embodiment of the present invention.
