[0005] On the other hand, for some medium-voltage power transmission scenarios, cables need to have good fire resistance to maintain power transmission for a certain period of time in emergency situations such as fire, buying time for personnel evacuation and equipment protection. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a single crystal copper conductor fire-resistant and rat-proof cable, which is not only rat-proof but also has good fire resistance under medium voltage power transmission.

[0007] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution of the present invention provides a single crystal copper conductor fire-resistant and rat-proof cable, comprising a cable core and a sheath wrapped around the outer layer of the cable core, the cable core comprising several wire cores and fillers, the fillers filling the gaps between the wire cores, the wire core being a medium voltage wire core, the structure of the sheath from inside to outside being an isolation layer, a thermal insulation layer, a metal layer, an oxygen insulation layer, a fire insulation layer, and an outer protective layer, the metal layer being a welded corrugated copper sheath, and the thermal insulation layer being an aerogel composite tape.

[0011] Furthermore, the conductor is a special-shaped single-crystal copper conductor, which is formed by twisting and pressing multiple special-shaped single-crystal copper wires; the first shielding layer is a semi-conductive shielding layer for cross-linked conductors, with a thickness of 0.7mm±0.1mm; the insulating layer is a polypropylene insulation layer of 35kV and below, with a thickness of 10.5mm±0.5mm; the insulating shielding layer is an ultra-smooth semi-conductive shielding layer for cross-linked cables, with a thickness of 0.8mm±0.1mm; the first shielding layer, insulating layer, and insulating shielding layer are a three-layer co-extrusion structure; the second shielding layer is a copper tape shielding layer.

[0025] See also Figure 1 The utility model provides a single crystal copper conductor fire-resistant and rat-proof cable, including a cable core and a sheath wrapped around the outer layer of the cable core. The cable core includes a plurality of wire cores and a filler 6. The filler 6 is filled in the gaps between the wire cores. The wire core is a medium-voltage wire core. The structure of the sheath from the inside to the outside is an isolation layer 8, a heat insulation layer 9, a metal layer 10, an oxygen insulation layer 11, a fire insulation layer 12, and an outer protective layer 13. The metal layer 10 is a rodent-proof metal layer.

[0026] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the structure of the core is conductor 1, first shielding layer 2, insulating layer 3, insulating shielding layer 4, and second shielding layer 5 from inside to outside; the number of cores is 3, and the 3 cores are symmetrically arranged.

[0027] Specifically, the cable core further includes a wrapping layer 7, which is arranged outside the core and wraps and fixes the positions of several cores; the wrapping layer 7 is a low-smoke, halogen-free and highly flame-retardant tape.

[0028] The wrapping layer 7 is made of low-smoke halogen-free and highly flame-retardant tape, which has the effect of tightening the cable core and preventing the outer isolation sleeve from being deformed by heat.

[0029] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the conductor 1 is a special-shaped single-crystal copper conductor, which is formed by twisting and pressing a plurality of special-shaped single-crystal copper wires; the first shielding layer 2 is a semi-conductive shielding layer for cross-linked conductors with a thickness of 0.7mm±0.1mm; the insulating layer 3 is a polypropylene insulation layer of 35kV and below with a thickness of 10.5mm±0.5mm; the insulating shielding layer 4 is an ultra-smooth semi-conductive shielding layer for cross-linked cables with a thickness of 0.8mm±0.1mm; the first shielding layer 2, the insulating layer 3, and the insulating shielding layer 4 are a three-layer co-extrusion structure; the second shielding layer 5 is a copper tape shielding layer.

[0030] The rounded conductor, formed by twisting and compacting multiple shaped single-crystal copper wires, offers excellent electrical conductivity, reduces skin effect, reduces space usage, improves electromagnetic compatibility, and enhances heat dissipation. While single-crystal copper itself has excellent electrical conductivity, the shaped structure and compacted twisting further reduce contact resistance and improve current transmission efficiency.

[0031] The first shielding layer 2, the insulating layer 3, and the insulating shielding layer 4 are extruded by a three-layer co-extrusion method, which improves safety and reliability while having strong anti-interference ability and good protection performance.

[0037] The thermal insulation layer 9 utilizes an aerogel composite tape, which features a high specific surface area, high porosity, stable chemical properties, low thermal conductivity, high temperature resistance, a wide operating temperature range, and a long service life. This aerogel possesses a unique nanoscale porous structure that effectively blocks air convection, reduces thermal radiation and conduction, and effectively isolates the inner cable core from high temperatures. When the external temperature reaches 850°C, the flame is blocked by the external fire barrier layer 12, oxygen barrier layer 11, and metal layer 10. Ultimately, the heat source is isolated by the gel composite tape thermal insulation layer 9, and the inner cable core surface temperature remains below 150°C.

[0038] Specifically, the metal layer 10 is a welded corrugated copper sheath; and the oxygen-isolating layer 11 is a ceramic polyolefin oxygen-isolating layer.

[0039] The metal layer 10 utilizes a welded corrugated copper sheath, which is wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and offers excellent heat dissipation, fire resistance, and rodent-proof properties. This copper sheath effectively protects the cable interior from external physical, chemical, and electrical damage, and offers corrosion resistance, rodent resistance, waterproofing, fire resistance, and pressure resistance. This fire-resistant, heat-insulating, and rodent-proof structure boasts high production efficiency and meets market demand for high-quality fire-resistant products.

[0040] The oxygen-isolating layer 11 is made of ceramic polyolefin oxygen-isolating material, which can form a ceramic shell at high temperature, thereby preventing oxygen from entering and preventing fire from burning the interior.

[0042] The fire-insulating layer 12 is made of low-smoke halogen-free high flame-retardant tape, which has the function of improving the flame-retardant ability of the cable, absorbing a large amount of heat, and forming a carbon shell layer to isolate the air and prevent the spread of fire.

[0043] The outer protective layer 13 is made of halogen-free low-smoke polyolefin material, which can prevent the cable from being damaged by physical, chemical, environmental and other factors during use, and ensure that the cable has long-term stable and reliable transmission performance and safety performance.

[0044] Specifically, the cross-sectional shape of the wire core and the cable core is circular.
