[0024] The following embodiments of the present invention are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.
[0025] like Figure 1As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a submarine watertight cable, including a conductor 100, an insulating layer 300, a filling layer 400 and an outer sheath 500, and also includes a sealing resin 200; the conductor 100 is made of a plurality of metal monofilaments twisted together, the sealing resin 200 is filled between the metal monofilaments, and the insulating layer 300 is wrapped around the outside of the metal monofilaments and the sealing resin 200.
[0026] That is, the embodiment of the present invention provides a submarine watertight cable, which seals the gap between the conductor 100 and the insulating layer 300 through the sealing resin 200, so that the conductor 100 can withstand greater water pressure and has better sealing performance, thereby alleviating the technical problem in the prior art that when the submarine watertight cable is used in a humid environment, water will invade from the end of the wire and cable into the interior of the cable, causing the electrical performance of the cable to deteriorate, thereby improving the water pressure resistance of the submarine watertight cable and extending the service life of the product.
[0027] Specifically, the cross-section of the cable is circular, and the conductor 100 is formed by twisting metal monofilaments. Copper has excellent electrical conductivity and mechanical properties. In this embodiment, the conductor 100 is formed by twisting multiple copper monofilaments. The sealing resin 200 is filled between the metal monofilaments and wraps the conductor 100. In this way, the conductor 100 can be fully protected from water by the sealing resin 200. At the same time, the sealing resin 200 has the function of preventing the conductor 100 from oxidation and has excellent anti-deformation performance of the conductor 100, which can further extend the service life of the submarine watertight cable. The insulating layer 300 and the outer sheath are sequentially sleeved on the outside of the sealing resin 200 to form a submarine watertight cable.
[0028] Furthermore, the material of the metal monofilament is set to be silver-plated copper wire.
[0029] Specifically, in this embodiment, the conductor 100 is made of 0.1 mm silver-plated copper wires twisted together. By plating silver on the outer side of the copper wires, the corrosion resistance of the copper conductor 100 can be improved.
[0030] Furthermore, the material of the insulating layer 300 is set to be ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer.
[0031] Specifically, the insulating layer 300 is made of ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer, which is extruded onto the surface of the conductor 100. The thickness can be set to 0.1 to 0.5 mm, and in this embodiment, 0.25 mm. Ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer has high thermal stability, aging resistance, acid and alkali resistance, and flame retardancy. Furthermore, ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer has excellent dielectric strength and insulation resistance, making it very suitable for use as an insulating material.
[0032] Furthermore, the conductor 100 , the sealing resin 200 and the insulating layer 300 cooperate to form an insulated wire core, and multiple strands of the insulated wire core are evenly arranged in the outer sheath 500 .
[0033] Specifically, in this embodiment, the insulating core is provided with five strands, which are arranged in a circumferential array within the outer sheath 500, thereby ensuring the communication quality of the submarine watertight cable and improving the overall tensile performance of the submarine communication cable.
[0034] Preferably, the filling layer 400 is configured as a water-blocking rope, and a plurality of water-blocking ropes are evenly arranged between the insulating cores.
[0035] Specifically, the water-blocking rope is set at the center of the insulating core to fill the gaps in the insulating core. When moisture invades the cable, the water-blocking rope will expand, so that the gaps between the cores are filled tightly, thereby preventing further moisture from invading the interior of the cable and improving the waterproof effect of the submarine watertight cable.
[0036] Furthermore, the material of the outer sheath 500 is set to be high-temperature resistant polyether elastomer polyurethane, and the outer sheath 500 is wrapped around the outside of all the insulating cores.
[0037] Specifically, the outer sheath 500 is made of a high-temperature resistant polyether-based elastomeric polyurethane material through extrusion, filling the gaps created around the outer periphery of the wires and cables after cabling. Furthermore, elastomeric polyurethane exhibits superior resistance to pressure, abrasion, water pressure, aging, acid, alkali, and oil compared to other materials, resulting in a longer product lifespan.
[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
