[0043] 3. Prevents the aging of electrical tree: Can inhibit the initiation and growth of electrical tree. Electrical tree is one of the important factors leading to insulation aging and breakdown, and the insulation shielding can effectively slow down this process.
[0044] 4. Improves the heat dissipation effect: Helps the heat transfer from the insulation layer to the outside, avoids local overheating, and ensures the temperature stability of the cable during operation.
[0045] 5. Enhances the mechanical properties: Provides certain mechanical protection for the insulation layer, reducing the damage to the insulation layer under the influence of installation, operation, and external environment.

[0056] Its shielding effect is better than some other shielding methods, and the continuity is relatively reliable.
[0057] 2. Better heat dissipation performance: Compared with copper tape shielding, the current flowing path of copper wire shielding is shorter, and the generated heat is relatively less, which is beneficial to the heat dissipation of the cable.
[0058] 3. Better flexibility: The copper wire is relatively soft, making the cable easier to bend and install to a certain extent, and it can adapt to some occasions where the cable needs to be bent.

[0067] 2. Preventing the spread of combustion: It can effectively cut off the spread of the flame between cable bundles, prevent the fire from spreading from one cable to other cables, and thus limit the scale of the fire.
[0068] 3. Reducing smoke and toxic gas emissions: Help to reduce the amount of smoke and toxic gases generated during combustion, and create more favorable conditions for personnel evacuation and fire fighting and rescue.
[0069] 4. Improving the safety of the cable: Enhance the reliability and safety of medium-voltage cables in a fire environment, and ensure the continuity of power supply and the safety of personnel's lives and property.
[0070] 5. Protecting the cable structure: To a certain extent, it plays a role in protecting the internal cable core wires and reducing the direct damage of the fire to the cable structure.

[0072] 2. Supporting and rounding effect: The flame-retardant high-temperature filling rope can play a role in supporting the inner protective layer, making the cable as a whole maintain a circular or quasi-circular structure, and ensuring the appearance and internal structure stability of the cable.

[0078] 2. Improve the longitudinal water-blocking ability: Even if the cable sheath is partially damaged, it can prevent moisture from penetrating longitudinally along the cable in a relatively long cable section, reducing the possibility of insulation performance degradation and faults caused by moisture intrusion.
[0079] 3. Enhance the sealing of the cable: Further seal the internal structure of the cable, prevent moisture, water vapor, etc. from entering, and maintain a dry environment inside the cable.

The longitudinally wrapped aluminum-plastic composite tape and its outer polyethylene sheath jointly form an excellent waterproof and moisture-proof material, which can effectively prevent moisture from radially invading the cable interior, improving the reliability and stability of the cable in humid or underwater environments.
[0085] 2. Shielding effect: It plays a role similar to that of the traditional copper tape shielding structure, shielding the electromagnetic field generated when the cable is energized within the insulated conductor core to reduce electromagnetic interference to the outside world. At the same time, it can also safely introduce the fault current within the designed range generated by the system into the grounding system to protect the safe operation of the system.
[0086] 3. Cost reduction: The content of aluminum elements in the earth's crust is relatively abundant, and the price of aluminum is lower than that of copper, and the density is also smaller.

[0088] The first metal layer 13 is a corrugated aluminum sheath, and an aluminum alloy material is welded outside the waterproof layer 12, which has the following advantages:
[0089] 1. Radial water blocking: The corrugated aluminum sheath has good impermeability, which can effectively prevent moisture from radially invading the cable interior, play a role in radial water blocking, protect the insulation performance of the cable, and ensure the stable operation of the cable in a humid or underwater environment.
[0090] 2. Mechanical protection: It can enhance the mechanical strength of the cable, provide additional protection for the internal structure, and enable it to withstand certain external pressures, tensile forces, and torsional mechanical stresses.
[0091] 3. Shielding effect: Welding the corrugated aluminum sheath can achieve a certain electromagnetic shielding effect, reduce the interference of the electromagnetic field inside the cable to the outside world, and at the same time reduce the influence of the external electromagnetic field on the cable signal transmission.
[0092] 4. Anti-corrosion: Although aluminum itself is relatively easy to corrode, in some cases, the combination of the waterproof layer 12 and the corrugated aluminum sheath can delay the corrosion process to a certain extent and protect the internal metal structure of the cable.
[0093] Extrude a layer of low-smoke and halogen-free polyethylene material as the oxygen barrier layer 14 and adopt a tooth sleeve design, which has the following advantages:
[0094] 1. The functions of the oxygen barrier layer with a tooth sleeve design: Strengthen the oxygen barrier effect: The tooth sleeves are tightly meshed, reducing the channels and possibilities of oxygen penetration and enhancing the barrier performance of the oxygen barrier layer. Increase connection stability: It increases the contact area and friction between the oxygen barrier layer and the corrugated aluminum sheath, making their connection more secure and less likely to separate due to water flow impact or external interference. Adapt to structural changes: Under temperature changes and water flow effects, the structure may deform. The tooth sleeve design can provide a certain degree of elasticity and adaptability to maintain a good combination between the oxygen barrier layer and the corrugated aluminum sheath. Evenly disperse pressure: It helps to evenly distribute the external pressure across the entire contact surface, reducing damage caused by excessive local pressure and improving the compressive capacity of the structure.

[0096] 3. Oxygen barrier effect: Effectively isolate oxygen, slow down the oxidation reaction during combustion, and thus reduce the combustion speed and fire intensity.
[0097] 4. Low smoke emission: It produces less smoke during combustion, which is beneficial to improving visibility during a fire and creating better conditions for personnel evacuation and fire fighting and rescue.

[0099] 6. Protect the internal structure of the cable: Prevent the internal conductors, insulation layers, etc. from being directly damaged by high temperature and fire, and extend the normal working time of the cable during a fire.
[0100] 7. Meet safety standards: Meet the strict requirements of many building and electrical installations for fire prevention, environmental protection, etc.,
[0101] Improve the safety and reliability of cable use.
[0102] The second metal layer 15 is a corrugated aluminum sheath. An aluminum alloy material is welded outside the oxygen barrier layer 14, and flowing cooling water is added between the oxygen barrier layer 14 and the front and rear corrugated aluminum sheaths. The main effects are to enhance the heat dissipation capacity of the cable and have a significant effect on flame retardancy and fire prevention. During the operation of the cable, heat is generated. If the heat cannot be dissipated in time, it may affect the performance and lifespan of the cable and even lead to failures. The flowing cooling water can effectively carry away the heat conducted from the corrugated aluminum sheath, the oxygen barrier layer 14, and the waterproof layer 12, helping the cable dissipate heat and maintaining its normal operating temperature, thereby improving the current-carrying capacity of the cable and enabling it to operate stably at a higher current. At the same time, welding a corrugated aluminum sheath outside the oxygen barrier layer 14 again can enhance the mechanical strength. The welded corrugated aluminum sheath can provide additional mechanical protection for the cable, enabling it to better withstand external pressures, tensile forces, twists, and other mechanical stresses, and reducing damage to the cable during use, installation, or operation. This setting has the following advantages:
[0103] 1. Moisture and water resistance: Further improve the moisture and water resistance of the cable. Although the oxygen barrier layer itself may have a certain moisture-proof effect, the corrugated aluminum sheath can serve as a more reliable barrier to prevent the intrusion of moisture and protect the internal insulation and other structures.
[0104] 2. Electromagnetic shielding: Welding the corrugated aluminum sheath helps enhance the electromagnetic shielding effect of the cable, reducing interference from external electromagnetic fields on cable signal transmission and also reducing the impact of the internal electromagnetic field of the cable on the outside world.
[0105] 3. Auxiliary fire protection: Although the oxygen barrier layer already has a certain fire protection performance, the corrugated aluminum sheath can play a certain auxiliary fire protection role in a high-temperature environment. It can delay the transfer of heat to the interior, reduce the impact of fire on the cable, and help maintain the integrity and electrical performance of the cable during a fire.
[0106] 4. Anti-corrosion: Although the corrugated aluminum sheath itself is not completely corrosion-proof, it can resist chemical substances and corrosive factors in the external environment to a certain extent and protect the internal structure of the cable.
[0107] Specifically, the fire protection layer 16 is a layer of polyamide; the outer protection layer 17 is a layer of silicone rubber.

[0110] 2. Good heat resistance: It has a relatively high melting temperature and a narrow melting temperature range, with an obvious melting point, mostly around 200 °C, and can adapt to the relatively high working temperature environment that medium-voltage cables may face.
[0111] 3. Strong chemical corrosion resistance: It is stable to the action of most chemical reagents, especially has strong resistance to oils such as gasoline and lubricating oil, and is also relatively stable to the action of alkalis and most salts.
[0112] 4. Self-extinguishing property: Even if it burns, the flame propagation speed is extremely slow.
[0113] 5. Good wear resistance: It has a low friction coefficient. If fillers such as molybdenum disulfide and graphite are added, its wear resistance can be further improved, which helps to reduce the wear of the cable during use.
[0114] 6. Good processability: It has a low melt viscosity and high fluidity, which is convenient for processing and forming.
[0115] 7. Waterproof and moisture-proof: It can prevent moisture from invading the cable interior to a certain extent and protect the insulation performance of the cable.

[0117] 1. Excellent heat resistance: It can maintain good performance in a relatively wide temperature range, adapt to high-temperature environments, and ensure the normal operation of the cable under high-temperature conditions.
[0118] 2. Good cold resistance: It still maintains flexibility in low-temperature environments and is not easily embrittled, suitable for use in cold regions.
[0119] 3. Excellent electrical insulation performance: It effectively prevents current leakage and ensures the electrical safety performance of the cable.
[0120] 4. Strong weather resistance: It can resist the erosion of environmental factors such as ultraviolet rays, ozone, acids and alkalis, and still maintain good performance after long-term exposure to outdoor environments.
[0121] 5. Good flexibility: It is convenient for the installation and bending of the cable, reducing damage during the installation process.
[0122] 6. Flame retardant property: It has a certain flame retardant ability, which helps to improve the safety of the cable in case of fire.
[0123] 7. Good anti-aging performance: It has a long service life, reducing the frequency of cable maintenance and replacement.
[0124] 8. Waterproof and moisture-proof performance: It effectively prevents the intrusion of moisture and dampness and protects the internal structure of the cable.
[0125] The utility model relates to a halogen-free low-smoke flame-retardant class A medium-voltage fire-resistant cable with self-cooling function. It adopts a secondary voltage transformation scheme. On the basis of solving the power supply problem of the entire fire protection loop, it can also meet the corresponding fire protection requirements at the same time. In case of a fire, it can maintain the normal operation of the power system for a certain period of time, winning more precious time for personnel evacuation and fire rescue.
[0126] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:
[0127] The design of welding corrugated aluminum sheaths is adopted outside the waterproof layer and the oxygen isolation layer respectively. Both the waterproof layer and the oxygen isolation layer adopt tooth sleeve designs. The tooth sleeve of the waterproof layer can enhance the sealing and waterproof performance, improve the bonding strength, adapt to deformation and displacement. The tooth sleeve design can provide a certain degree of flexibility and adaptability, and evenly distribute the pressure. The oxygen isolation layer with a tooth sleeve strengthens the oxygen isolation effect, enhances the barrier performance of the oxygen isolation layer, increases the connection stability, and adapts to structural changes. The tooth sleeve design can provide a certain degree of elasticity and adaptability, maintaining a good combination between the oxygen isolation layer and the corrugated aluminum sheath. At the same time, flowing cooling water is added between the two layers of corrugated aluminum sheaths before and after the oxygen isolation layer. And the oxygen isolation layer adopts a tooth sleeve design, which further increases the flow rate of the cooling water, enhances the heat dissipation capacity of the cable and has a significant effect on flame retardancy and fire prevention. During the operation of the cable, heat will be generated. If the heat cannot be dissipated in time, it may affect the performance and lifespan of the cable, and even cause failures. The flowing cooling water can effectively take away the heat conducted from the corrugated aluminum sheath, the oxygen isolation layer and the waterproof layer, help the cable dissipate heat, maintain its normal working temperature, thereby improving the current-carrying capacity of the cable and enabling it to operate stably at a higher current.
[0128] At the same time, this design has a significant effect on flame retardancy and fire prevention, which is mainly reflected in the following aspects.
[0129] 1. Rapid cooling: When a fire occurs around the cable or the cable itself generates abnormal heat, the flowing cooling water can quickly absorb heat, reduce the temperature of the cable, delay the time for the cable to reach the combustion point, thereby enhancing the flame retardant effect.
[0130] 2. Prevent the spread of fire: By reducing the temperature of the cable and reducing heat transfer, it can effectively prevent the fire from spreading along the cable and limit the scope of the fire.
[0131] Maintain structural integrity: In a high-temperature environment, the cooling water can keep the structure of the cable at a relatively low temperature, reduce material deformation and damage caused by high temperature, help maintain the structural integrity of the cable, and ensure its normal operation within a certain period of time.
[0132] 3. Reduce the generation of smoke and toxic gases: Reducing the temperature helps to reduce the amount of smoke and toxic gases generated when the cable burns, improve the environment at the fire scene, and provide more favorable conditions for personnel evacuation and rescue.
[0133] 4. Enhance the fire resistance time: The flowing cooling water can provide continuous cooling protection for the cable, extend the cable's tolerance time in a fire, and gain more precious time for taking fire extinguishing measures and personnel evacuation.
[0134] The above is the preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art of this technology, without departing from the principle of the present utility model, several improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements are also regarded as the protection scope of the present utility model.
