Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cables, in particular to a halogen-free flame-retardant light-type instrument control cable for an offshore platform. Background Technique
[0002] The ship speed of ships and vessels is an important symbol to measure the level of marine facilities and equipment of various countries. Therefore, reducing the weight of cables and the outer diameter of cables is of great significance for effectively reducing the self-weight of ships and vessels, increasing the effective load, and improving the ship speed.
[0003] At present, most of the cables for offshore platforms produced in China are of general-purpose structures, with relatively large outer diameters and heavy weights, which cannot meet the requirements of lightness and flexibility for the development of ships, vessels, and offshore platforms. Moreover, the joints of the cables usually do not have waterproof structures, resulting in poor waterproof effects when used at sea, easy acceleration of aging, and difficult maintenance. Therefore, a halogen-free flame-retardant light-type instrument control cable for an offshore platform has been developed. Content of the Utility Model
[0004] Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a halogen-free flame-retardant light-type instrument control cable for an offshore platform, which solves the problems that most of the cables for offshore platforms are of general-purpose structures, with relatively large outer diameters and heavy weights, and the joints of the cables usually do not have waterproof structures.
[0005] To achieve the above purposes, the utility model is realized through the following technical solutions: A halogen-free flame-retardant light-type instrument control cable for an offshore platform, including a cable body, the cable body includes a conductor, an insulating layer, a sub-screening layer, an isolation layer, a filling layer, a wrapping tape, an armor layer, and an outer sheath. A waterproof sleeve is arranged on the surface of the cable body. The waterproof sleeve includes a first shell and a second shell. Sealing grooves are opened on both sides of the inner walls of the first shell and the second shell, and a spring rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sealing groove. One end of the spring rod is fixedly connected to an arc-shaped plate, and a sealing ring that closely adheres to the surface of the cable body is fixedly connected to the inner side of the arc-shaped plate.
[0006] Preferably, two sides of the top of the second shell are both fixedly connected with screw rods. The screw rods penetrate through one end outside the first shell and are sleeved with anti-loosening washers. A hand-tightening nut is threadedly connected to the surface of the screw rods and located on the top of the anti-loosening washers.
[0007] Preferably, the conductor is composed of multiple strands of fine tinned soft copper wires stranded together. The insulating layer is extruded outside the conductor, and the sub-screening layer is woven with tinned copper wires on the surface of the insulating layer.
[0008] Preferably, the isolation layer is overlapped and wrapped around the outer part of the sub-screening layer with a polyester film having excellent insulation performance. The filling layer is filled with halogen-free flame-retardant polypropylene tearing ropes into the stranding gaps of the isolation layer, and the isolation layer and the filling layer are stranded into a cable core.
[0009] Preferably, the wrapping tape is wrapped around the outer part of the cable core with two layers of smooth high-density polyester films. The armor layer is braided with tinned copper wires outside the wrapping tape, and the outer sheath is extruded outside the armor layer.
[0010] Preferably, the outer sheath is made of an oil-resistant, tear-resistant, halogen-free, low-smoke, flame-retardant cross-linked polyolefin material, and the insulating layer is made of a low-density, thin-wall type halogen-free cross-linked insulating material.
[0011] Beneficial effects
[0012] The utility model provides a halogen-free flame-retardant light-type instrument control cable for an offshore platform. Compared with the prior art, it has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] (1). For the halogen-free flame-retardant light-type instrument control cable for the offshore platform, a waterproof sleeve is arranged at the connection of the cable, and sealing rings are arranged between the two ends of the waterproof sleeve and the cable to seal the connection, improving the waterproof performance. Then, under the elastic force of the spring rod, the sealing performance of the sealing ring can be enhanced, and the lost elasticity of the sealing ring can be continuously compensated, prolonging its service life.
[0014] (2). For the halogen-free flame-retardant light-type instrument control cable for the offshore platform, a thin-wall cross-linked insulating material with heat resistance, low density, and high performance is adopted. The thickness is 50% smaller than that of ordinary ship cables. The overall cable achieves the purpose of reducing the diameter and weight. The sub-screening is braided with high-density tinned copper wires. Compared with the traditional copper tape screening, it avoids the problems that the copper tape screening generates oxidation due to the contact surface and the contact resistance increases when bending, getting hot and cold, and deforming, which limits the short-circuit capacity. Moreover, the tinned copper wire screening structure product has good bending performance and tensile resistance, and the tinned copper wire can effectively prevent the copper wire from oxidation and corrosion. The copper wire braided screening has better anti-interference performance. Description of the drawings

A waterproof housing 2 is provided on the surface of the cable body 1. The waterproof housing 2 includes a first housing 21 and a second housing 22. Sealing grooves 3 are opened on both sides of the inner walls of the first housing 21 and the second housing 22, and a spring rod 4 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sealing groove 3. One end of the spring rod 4 is fixedly connected to an arc-shaped plate 5, and a sealing ring 6 that is in close contact with the surface of the cable body 1 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the arc-shaped plate 5. The sealing ring 6 is made of rubber material;
[0024] Screw rods 7 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the second housing 22. A lock washer 8 is sleeved on the end of the screw rod 7 that penetrates to the outside of the first housing 21. A hand-tightening nut 9 is threadedly connected to the surface of the screw rod 7 and located on the top of the lock washer 8.
[0025] With the above structure, during use, the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 are combined and wrapped around the connection of the cable. After the screw 7 on the second housing 22 passes through the first housing 21, the lock washer 8 and the hand-tightening nut 9 are successively assembled on the screw 7 to fixedly install the first housing 21 and the second housing 22, so that the sealing rings 6 on both sides seal the connection, improving the waterproof performance. When the two housings are installed, the sealing ring 6 presses the spring rod 4, and under the reaction force of the spring rod 4, the sealing ring 6 is driven to fit more closely to the cable body 1, improving the sealing performance. And under the elastic action of the spring rod 4, the lost elasticity of the sealing ring 6 can be continuously compensated, extending its service life.
