Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of power cables, and particularly relates to a cold-resistant and flame-retardant power cable. Background Art

[0002] Power cables are used to transmit and distribute electrical energy, and are widely used in urban underground power grids, outgoing lines of power stations, and internal power supply of industrial and mining enterprises. Power cables can be divided into low-voltage, medium-voltage, high-voltage, extra-high-voltage, and ultra-high-voltage cables according to voltage levels. Its basic structure includes a conductor, an insulating layer, and a protective layer. The conductor is mostly made of copper or aluminum and is used to conduct current; the insulating layer is wrapped outside the conductor to play an insulating role;

[0003] At present, power cables do not have reliable cold resistance and flame retardancy. When the temperature is too low, the conductor resistance of the cable will increase, resulting in power loss and reduced transmission efficiency. At the same time, the insulating material may become brittle and easily break, affecting the normal operation of the cable and even causing short circuits or failures. In addition, the accumulation of snow and wind may also cause the wire and cable to sag, break, or disconnect, further affecting its performance;

[0004] When a fire occurs, the cable structure is easily damaged, affecting power transmission and distribution lines, urban underground power grids, outgoing lines of power stations, etc.;

[0005] To solve the above problems, a cold-resistant and flame-retardant power cable is proposed in this application. Summary of the Utility Model

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a cold-resistant and flame-retardant power cable, which solves the problems mentioned in the above background art.

[0007] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model is realized through the following technical solutions:

[0008] The utility model is a cold-resistant and flame-retardant power cable, which includes an inner support and a plurality of cable cores circumferentially distributed outside the inner support. An inner cladding layer is arranged outside the cable cores, a shielding layer is formed outside the inner cladding layer, an arc-shaped groove is arranged on the outside of the inner support, and a buffer strip capable of forming a buffer space inside the cable is arranged in the arc-shaped groove. The cable cores are attached to the inner side of the buffer strip. A thermoplastic elastomer is also arranged circumferentially outside the inner support and the cable cores. An outer cladding layer is formed outside the thermoplastic elastomer, polyphthalamide is formed outside the outer cladding layer, and a wear-resistant layer is arranged outside the polyphthalamide.

[0009] Furthermore, inclined buffer ribs are arranged on the inner side of the buffer strip, the buffer ribs are arranged at equal intervals, the outer side of the shielding layer is attached to the inner side of the buffer ribs, and a buffer space is formed between adjacent two buffer ribs.

[0010] Further, the thermoplastic elastomer is circumferentially distributed and completely wraps the inner support and the cable core. On one side where two adjacent thermoplastic elastomers are connected, a card slot is provided, and on the other side, a card strip is provided. Most of the circumferentially distributed thermoplastic elastomers are connected through the card slot and the card strip.

[0011] Further, an arc-shaped groove for the cable core to be embedded is formed on the inner side of the thermoplastic elastomer, and two adjacent thermoplastic elastomers are closely attached to each other.

[0012] Further, the cable core is located in the middle of the inner side of the thermoplastic elastomer.

[0013] Further, after a number of circumferentially distributed thermoplastic elastomers are combined, a complete circular surface matching the outer coating layer is formed on the outer side.

[0014] Further, the buffer strip is semicircularly arranged.

[0015] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] Through the arranged thermoplastic elastomer and polyphthalamide in the utility model, the polyphthalamide forms a flame-retardant first protective layer on the outside of the cable, while the thermoplastic elastomer forms a flame-retardant and low-temperature-resistant second protective layer on the inside of the cable. Through the double protection, the cold resistance and flame retardancy of the cable can be effectively improved, and thus it can be used more reliably in extreme environments;

[0017] The buffer strip arranged at the connection between the inner support and the cable core in the utility model can play a buffering role. At the same time, the gap between the buffer ribs can leave a bending space for the cable, ensuring the bending degree of the cable at low temperature. The spliced thermoplastic elastomer can not only form a relatively thick protective layer but also facilitate the production of the cable;

[0018] Of course, it is not necessary for any product implementing the utility model to achieve all the above-mentioned advantages simultaneously. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0026] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0027] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "open hole", "upper", "lower", "thickness", "top", "middle", "length", "inner", "periphery", etc. indicating the orientation or position relationship are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation to the present invention.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1-4 As shown, the present invention is a cold-resistant and flame-retardant power cable, including an inner support 1 and a plurality of cable cores 2 circumferentially distributed outside the inner support 1. An inner coating layer 3 is arranged outside the cable core 2, a shielding layer 4 is formed outside the inner coating layer 3, an arc-shaped groove is opened on the outside of the inner support 1, and a buffer strip 5 capable of forming a buffer space inside the cable is arranged in the arc-shaped groove. The cable core 2 is attached to the inner side of the buffer strip 5. A circumferentially distributed thermoplastic elastomer 6 is also arranged outside the inner support 1 and the cable core 2. An outer coating layer 7 is formed outside the thermoplastic elastomer 6, a polyphthalamide 8 is formed outside the outer coating layer 7, and a wear-resistant layer 9 is arranged outside the polyphthalamide 8. The shielding layer 4 in this embodiment increases the shielding effect between adjacent cable cores 2 and reduces the mutual interference therebetween.

[0029] Among them, buffer ribs 51 are arranged inside the buffer strip 5 in an inclined manner, and the buffer ribs 51 are arranged at equal intervals. The outer side of the shielding layer 4 is attached to the inner side of the buffer ribs 51, and a buffer space is formed between two adjacent buffer ribs 51. In this embodiment, both the buffer strip 5 and the buffer ribs 51 are made of low-temperature-resistant rubber soft materials, forming a buffer space inside the cable core 2, thereby providing more bending deformation space for the cable core 2 and playing a protective role for the cable core 2.

[0030] Among them, the thermoplastic elastomer 6 is circumferentially distributed and completely wraps the inner support 1 and the cable core 2. A card slot 61 is arranged on one side where two adjacent thermoplastic elastomers 6 are connected, and a card strip 62 is arranged on the other side. Most of the circumferentially distributed thermoplastic elastomers 6 are connected through the card slot 61 and the card strip 62. In this embodiment, the matching structure of the card slot 61 and the card strip 62 is adopted. After multiple thermoplastic elastomers 6 are combined, they can be directly formed without using auxiliary devices to limit multiple thermoplastic elastomers 6 and then perform the coating work, and at the same time, the structural strength is also increased.

[0031] Among them, an arc-shaped groove for the cable core 2 to be embedded is also formed inside the thermoplastic elastomer 6, and two adjacent thermoplastic elastomers 6 are closely attached to each other. In this embodiment, the arc-shaped groove inside the thermoplastic elastomer 6 mainly fits with the cable core 2, forming a supporting and protective role for the cable core 2.

[0032] Among them, the cable core 2 is located in the middle of the inner side of the thermoplastic elastomer 6. In this embodiment, the cable core 2 is located in the middle of the inner side of the thermoplastic elastomer 6. At this time, the thermoplastic elastomer 6 can fully protect the cable core 2.

[0033] Among them, a complete circular surface matching with the outer coating layer 7 is formed on the outer side after several circumferentially distributed thermoplastic elastomers 6 are combined. In this embodiment, the circular shape on the outer side after the thermoplastic elastomers 6 are combined facilitates the formation of the outer coating layer 7, and at the same time, a closed protective layer can be formed outside the cable core 2.

[0034] Among them, the buffer strip 5 is semicircularly arranged. In this embodiment, the buffer strip 5 just fits into the arc-shaped groove on the outer side of the inner support 1, and at the same time, an arc-shaped structure for the cable core 2 to fit is formed inside, forming a buffer space between the inner support 1 and the cable core 2.

[0035] It can be understood that first, polyphthalamide located outside the cable is set to achieve a flame-retardant effect. By setting the inner thermoplastic elastomer, it can not only achieve a flame-retardant effect but also be low-temperature-resistant, ensuring the performance of the cable. Secondly, the buffer strip set can form a buffer space inside the cable, ensuring the bendability of the cable. At the same time, the thermoplastic elastomer is a splicing structure, which is convenient for production and can ensure the performance of the cable.

[0036] A specific application of this embodiment is as follows: An inner cladding layer 3 and a shielding layer 4 are formed outside the cable core 2. The inner bracket 1 is extrusion-molded and the buffer strip 5 is pressed into the external annular groove. The cable core 2 is pressed inside the buffer strip 5. The thermoplastic elastomer 6 is distributed circumferentially and butt-jointed. When butt-jointing, the card slot 61 and the card strip 62 are engaged. Then, an outer cladding layer 7 is formed outside the thermoplastic elastomer 6, a polyphthalamide 8 is formed outside the outer cladding layer 7, and finally, a wear-resistant layer 9 is formed outside the polyphthalamide 8.

Obviously, many modifications and variations can be made according to the content of this specification.
