[0020] See also Figure 1 The utility model provides a rat- and ant-proof 35kV and below power cable, comprising a cable core and an outer sheath wrapped around the cable core, the cable core comprising a plurality of wire cores and a filler 6 filling gaps between the wire cores, the structure of the wire core being sequentially provided with a conductor 1, a first shielding layer 2, an insulating layer 3, an insulating shielding layer 4, and a second shielding layer 5 from the inside out; the outer sheath comprises a rat- and ant-proof sheath; the insulating layer 3 is a 35kV cross-linked polyethylene insulation layer.

[0021] Insulation layer 3 utilizes 35kV cross-linked polyethylene insulation. This insulation utilizes peroxide cross-linking, transforming the polyethylene molecules from a linear structure to a three-dimensional network, transforming them from thermoplastic to thermosetting, significantly improving the cable's current-carrying capacity. This insulation exhibits excellent heat resistance, insulation properties, mechanical properties, and chemical resistance.

[0022] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the outer sheath includes two layers of rat-proof and ant-proof sheaths. The structure of the outer sheath is sequentially provided with an isolation sleeve 8, an armor 9, an oxygen isolation layer 10, a flame retardant layer 11, a first rat-proof and ant-proof sheath 12, and a second rat-proof and ant-proof sheath 13 from the inside to the outside.

[0023] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the number of wire cores is 3, and the 3 wire cores and the gaps between the wire cores are filled with filler 6 and then wrapped with fireproof tape 7. This structure constitutes a cable core, and the cross-section of the cable core is circular; the fireproof tape 7 is a ceramic fireproof and fire-resistant composite tape.

[0024] When making cables, ceramic fire-proof and fire-resistant composite tape is used for wrapping. The ceramic fire-proof and fire-resistant composite tape will be quickly burned into a ceramic-like hard and complete shell at a temperature of 590℃~2950℃. The hard shell armor after burning can provide good protection for the line and ensure the smooth flow of the line in the event of fire.

[0025] Specifically, conductor 1 is a compressed conductor made of twisted Class 2 aluminum alloy wires, the first shielding layer 2 is a cross-linked semi-conductive shielding layer, the insulating shielding layer 4 is a strippable cross-linked semi-conductive outer shielding layer, and the second shielding layer 5 is a copper tape; the first shielding layer 2, the insulating layer 3, and the insulating shielding layer 4 are a three-layer co-extrusion structure.

[0026] Conductor 1 is a Class 2 aluminum alloy compressed conductor, which is made of multiple strands of aluminum alloy wire twisted together. The electrical and mechanical properties of the aluminum alloy conductor are much higher than those of traditional twisted aluminum conductors, and can effectively reduce the aging of the internal insulation of the cable.

[0027] The first shielding layer 2 is made of a cross-linked semi-conductive shielding material and is tightly wrapped within the insulating layer 3 through a three-layer co-extrusion process. It forms an equipotential with the cable conductor 1 and the second shielding layer 5, respectively, and creates a smooth interface between the insulation, the high voltage potential, and the ground potential. This eliminates burrs or protrusions on the metal conductor surface, evens out the interfacial electric field distribution, suppresses excessive local field strength, and prevents partial discharge, thereby improving the electrical strength and service life of the cable.

[0028] The insulating shielding layer 4 is made of a removable, cross-linked, semi-conductive shielding material and is tightly wrapped around the insulating layer 3 using a three-layer co-extrusion process. It maintains good contact with the shielded insulating layer 3 and forms an equipotential with the second shielding layer 5, thus preventing partial discharge between the insulating layer 3 and the rat- and ant-proof sheath.

[0029] The second shielding layer 5 is wrapped with a layer of copper tape as a metal shield to prevent axial surface discharge and has excellent lightning protection characteristics. In the event of a short circuit, the metal tape can serve as a loop for the short-circuit fault current.

[0030] Specifically, the filler 6 is a high-temperature filling rope; the isolation sleeve 8 is a halogen-free, low-smoke, flame-retardant thermoplastic polyolefin sheath, the armor 9 is a double-layer gap-wrapped armor of galvanized steel strips, the oxygen insulation layer 10 is a ceramicized polyolefin flame-retardant and fire-resistant oxygen insulation layer, and the flame retardant layer 11 is a low-smoke, halogen-free, highly flame-retardant tape.

[0031] The filler 6 is made of high temperature filling rope, which has excellent electrical properties and anti-aging properties. It also has long service life, high strength, and high temperature resistance.

[0032] The isolation sleeve 8 is made of halogen-free, low-smoke, flame-retardant thermoplastic polyolefin sheath material, which effectively protects the cable core from being damaged by the armor 9 metal.

[0033] The armor 9 is wrapped with double layers of galvanized steel tape, which increases the mechanical strength of the cable, improves the corrosion resistance, increases the tensile strength and compressive strength, and the mechanical protection extends the service life.

[0034] The oxygen-isolating layer 10 is made of ceramicized polyolefin flame-retardant and fire-resistant oxygen-isolating material, which can form honeycomb-shaped fine pores during the sintering process, and can play a good role in fire isolation, heat insulation and temperature insulation.

[0035] The flame retardant layer 11 is made of low-smoke halogen-free high flame retardant tape, which effectively plays a flame retardant role.

[0036] Specifically, the first rat-proof and ant-proof sheath 12 is a halogen-free, low-smoke, flame-retardant thermoplastic polyolefin sheath, and the second rat-proof and ant-proof sheath 13 is a nylon 12 sheath.

[0037] The first rat-proof and ant-proof sheath 12 is made of halogen-free, low-smoke, flame-retardant thermoplastic polyolefin sheath material, which has excellent flame-retardant effect, good self-extinguishing property, low smoke emission, low toxicity, and rat-proof and ant-proof performance.

[0038] The second anti-rat and ant sheath 13 is made of nylon 12 sheath. The nylon sheath made of nylon material has high hardness and makes the cable have good oil resistance, wear resistance, fire resistance, cold resistance, high temperature resistance and anti-rat and ant performance.

[0039] The utility model is a rat- and ant-proof power cable, comprising a cable core formed by twisting three main insulated power cores. The main insulated power cores are wrapped with copper tape, the gaps between the cable cores are filled with a filler material, the cable core is wrapped with a ceramic fire-resistant composite tape, the ceramic fire-resistant composite tape is extruded with an isolation sleeve 8, the isolation sleeve 8 is wrapped with a steel tape, the steel tape is extruded with an oxygen barrier layer 10, the oxygen barrier layer 10 is wrapped with a flame-retardant tape, the flame-retardant tape is extruded with a first rat- and ant-proof sheath 12, and the first rat- and ant-proof sheath 12 is extruded with a second rat- and ant-proof sheath 13. The second rat- and ant-proof sheath 13 is made of nylon. The nylon sheath, steel tape, copper tape, and first rat- and ant-proof sheath 12 ensure that the cable truly functions as a rat- and ant-proof cable throughout its life cycle, effectively preventing termite attack while also providing the cable with a good shielding function. The cable has broad application prospects.

[0040] 1. Improved mechanical properties

[0041] The mechanical properties of aluminum alloy cables are significantly improved compared to pure aluminum cables. The tensile strength and elongation of aluminum alloy conductors are both increased, making the cables safer and more reliable during use. Furthermore, the bending properties of aluminum alloy cables are improved, with a bend radius much smaller than that of copper cables, making installation more convenient.

[0042] 2. Enhanced corrosion resistance

[0043] Aluminum alloy cables are more corrosion-resistant than pure aluminum cables. This is because chemical elements such as rare earth elements are added to aluminum alloys. These elements can improve the corrosion resistance of aluminum alloys, especially their resistance to electrochemical corrosion. This is very important for cables used in harsh environments.

[0044] 3. Improvement of deadweight bearing capacity

[0045] Aluminum alloy cables can withstand greater weight, which means that at the same current carrying capacity, the weight of aluminum alloy cables is only about half that of copper cables. This not only reduces installation costs, but also reduces wear and tear on equipment and cables, making installation work easier.

[0046] 4. Optimization of economic performance

[0047] From an economic perspective, aluminum alloy cables offer certain advantages. Although their electrical conductivity is inferior to that of copper cables, their procurement costs can be 35% to 40% lower than copper cables, while achieving equivalent electrical performance. Installation costs can also be reduced by approximately 20%. This makes aluminum alloy cables a more economical choice for budget-constrained installations.

[0048] 5. Improvement of creep resistance

[0049] The creep resistance of aluminum alloy cables has been significantly improved. Compared with pure aluminum, the creep resistance of aluminum alloy conductors has been improved by 300%, which helps to avoid relaxation problems caused by cold flow or creep, thereby improving the stability of cable connections.

[0050] 6. Improvement in flexibility

[0051] Aluminum alloy cables are more flexible, 30% more flexible than copper and 40% less resilient than copper. This makes it easier to connect terminals during installation, reducing installation difficulty and the risk of failure.

[0052] The above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
