Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of cables, and in particular relates to an over-current warning type marine power cable. Background Art

[0002] Marine cables include marine power cables, marine control cables, and marine communication cables, which are mainly used for power supply, lighting, and general control of various ships in rivers and seas, as well as offshore oil platforms and other marine structures. With the rapid development of river and ocean transportation industries and marine engineering, the number of various ships and offshore oil platforms will also continue to increase, and the technical requirements for cables by various equipment are increasing day by day. Shipbuilding units and users have special requirements for the performance of marine cables, and ordinary power cables cannot be directly substituted. Due to the relatively harsh operating environment, when the current is too large on the ship, the cable catching fire will trigger a larger fire accident. If countermeasures can be taken in time before the cable fire accident occurs to prevent the cable fire accident, it is necessary to improve the safety performance of the cable. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by this application is to provide an over-current warning type marine power cable with an over-current warning function, which can prevent the occurrence of cable fire accidents on ships, is beneficial to enhancing the safety and reliability of the cable, and can be used durably.

[0004] The above technical problems are solved by the following technical solutions in this application.

[0005] The over-current warning type marine power cable includes three power cores, one grounding core, one over-current warning core, and one nylon resin filling core strip that are jointly stranded to form a cable core. The power core includes an aluminum alloy conductor, an EVA water-blocking adhesive layer, and a low-smoke and flame-retardant composite insulation layer. The low-smoke and flame-retardant composite insulation layer includes a polyester non-woven fabric layer, an aromatic polyimide isolation layer, and an XLPE insulation layer from the inside to the outside in sequence. The over-current warning core includes two warning pairs that are twisted to form a core body. The outside of the core body is sequentially coated with a PET resin wrapping layer, an irradiated cross-linked low-density polyethylene inner extrusion layer, an ETFE resin cushion layer, and an irradiated cross-linked low-density polyethylene outer extrusion layer. The warning wire includes a tin phosphor bronze single wire conductor and a polyethylene insulation layer. The outside of the cable core is sequentially coated with a nylon tape wrapping layer, a butyl rubber water-blocking and pressure-reducing layer, an impact-resistant flat woven wire armor layer, and a silane-grafted cross-linked high-density polyethylene outer sheath.

[0006] Preferably, the aluminum alloy conductor is formed by stranding and compacting a number of aluminum alloy wires with a diameter of 0.15 mm to 0.32 mm to form a circular conductor structure.

[0007] Preferably, the thickness of the EVA water-blocking adhesive layer is 3 μm to 8 μm.

[0008] Preferably, the low-smoke and flame-retardant composite insulating layer is 0.5 mm to 2 mm.

[0009] Preferably, the thickness of the polyester non-woven fabric layer is 0.05 mm to 0.08 mm, the thickness of the aromatic polyimide isolation layer is 0.02 mm to 0.04 mm, and the thickness of the XLPE insulating layer is not less than 0.45 mm.

[0010] Preferably, the outer diameter of the tin-phosphor bronze single-wire conductor is 0.5 mm to 1 mm.

[0011] Preferably, the thickness of the polyethylene insulating layer is 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm.

[0012] Preferably, the impact-resistant plain woven mesh armor layer includes an inner layer of tinned copper wire plain woven mesh and an outer layer of tinned copper wire plain woven mesh. The inner layer of tinned copper wire plain woven mesh is formed by weaving fine tinned copper wires into a plain woven mesh structure, and the outer layer of tinned copper wire plain woven mesh is formed by weaving thick tinned copper wires into a plain woven mesh structure. The wire diameter of the thick tinned copper wire is 5 to 20 times that of the fine tinned copper wire.

[0013] Preferably, the weaving density of the inner layer of tinned copper wire plain woven mesh is greater than that of the outer layer of tinned copper wire plain woven mesh.

[0014] Preferably, the butyl rubber water-blocking and pressure-reducing layer is a multi-layer overlapping winding structure of butyl rubber tapes, and the overlapping rate of the butyl rubber tapes is one-fourth to one-half of the width of the butyl rubber tape.

[0015] Advantages of the present application:

[0016] 1. By adding an overcurrent warning core in the cable core, since the melting point of the polyethylene insulating layer of an overcurrent warning core is lower than the melting point of the low-smoke and flame-retardant composite insulating layer of the power supply core, when overcurrent occurs, the polyethylene insulating layer of the overcurrent warning core melts first, causing the two tin-phosphor bronze single-wire conductors to come into direct contact and short-circuit. By monitoring the short circuit of the overcurrent warning core, an early warning function can be achieved. Before the power supply core melts and catches fire, on-site personnel can take safety measures in time, preventing cable fire accidents in advance, providing a strong guarantee for the safe use of the cable, enhancing the safety and reliability of the cable, and improving the durability and applicability.

[0017] 2. By adding a nylon resin filling core strip and twisting it together with three power supply cores, one ground wire core, and one overcurrent warning core, the cable core structure is balanced into a circular cross-section, which helps to improve the mechanical strength, is beneficial to withstanding the lateral pressure during bending, ensures the safe and reliable electrical characteristics of the cable, and improves the durability of use.

[0018] 3. The power cable core adopts a low-smoke and flame-retardant composite insulation layer with a three-layer integrated structure. When the cable catches fire and burns, during the full combustion process of the polyester non-woven fabric layer, the aromatic polyimide isolation layer has the function of isolating the smoke. The aromatic polyimide isolation layer has high-temperature resistance and flame-retardant properties, and can prevent the combustion smoke from escaping from the inside of the cable, realizing a low-smoke type fire-resistant power cable with excellent performance. It meets the green environmental protection design of the cable, does not contain harmful substances to human health, does not release smoke or toxic gases in the burning flame, and the discarded cable can be fully recycled and reused, without pollution to the environment and can be recycled and processed.
