[0026] Figure 1 This embodiment provides a structural schematic diagram of a fire-resistant cable; Detailed Implementation
[0027] This invention can be implemented in many ways and has various embodiments, therefore specific embodiments are illustrated and described in the accompanying drawings. However, this is not intended to limit the invention to specific implementations, but should be understood to include all modifications, equivalents, and even substitutions that fall within the spirit and technical scope of this invention.
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a fire-resistant cable, comprising:
[0029] The outermost sheath 1 is made of flame-retardant cross-linked polyolefin material with a polytetrafluoroethylene coating. It has high temperature resistance and flame-retardant properties, effectively preventing the spread of flames and reducing the risk of fire. In addition, the coating makes the cable surface smooth, reduces the coefficient of friction, and makes it easier to lay and protect the cable core.
[0030] There is a ceramicized silicone 2 (i.e., intermediate functional layer) between the outer sheath 1 and the steel strip armor layer 3. The purpose of setting 2 is to prevent the outer sheath 1 from directly contacting the steel strip 3 and to prevent the outer sheath from being damaged by the pressure of the steel strip seam due to its own weight during installation. On the other hand, the silicone material can be cured when exposed to fire to achieve the purpose of fire resistance.
[0031] The steel belt armor layer 3 protects the internal structure and also serves as a fire-resistant layer. Its good heat dissipation also helps it resist fire when exposed to fire.
[0032] The inner lining layer 4 is made of an elastomer material, which serves as a buffer and isolation between the armor layer 3 and the aluminum sheath 5. In addition, the properties of the elastomer make the cable more flexible.
[0033] The aluminum sheath 5 is made of aluminum alloy, and its excellent shielding performance prevents the cable from being interfered with by external signals during use. It is also waterproof and fireproof, and together with the armor layer, it forms a barrier against mechanical forces.
[0034] The fire-resistant wrapping tape 6 is used to cover the fire-resistant filler layer 7. Its material is composite F4 tape, which is flame-retardant and high-temperature resistant.
[0035] The fire-resistant filler layer 7 is made of inorganic mineral-based silicone material. This material is normally in a putty-like state, filling and smoothing the gaps in the cable. It has excellent insulation properties and outstanding fire resistance. After being exposed to fire, it gradually hardens after about 2 hours, adhering between the wire cores to further prevent flame erosion.
[0036] The isolation sleeve 8 is made to fit the insulated wire core using a special mold. The material is modified high-density polyethylene, which has excellent waterproof performance.
[0037] Insulation layer 9 is made of irradiated cross-linked polyethylene and flame-retardant irradiated cross-linked polyolefin composite material, manufactured through a double-layer co-extrusion technology. This approach fully utilizes the high insulation properties of cross-linked polyethylene and the high flame-retardant properties of cross-linked polyolefin. After gamma ray irradiation, the two materials achieve a working temperature of 150℃. This high working temperature translates to high current carrying capacity and temperature resistance rating, and the material also exhibits superior mechanical strength, which is unmatched by fire-resistant mica tape.
[0038] Furthermore, under fire conditions, the combustible material in the flame-retardant irradiated polyolefin material vaporizes, and the material eventually forms a honeycomb-like solidified material surrounding the conductor 10, achieving dual insulation from both air and the solidified material. This allows the cable to maintain power for an extended period even under fire conditions. Tests have shown that at normal operating temperature (90℃), the volume resistivity of the cable insulation is greater than 1.0 × 10⁻⁶.15 Ω·cm, and even under fire conditions, it reaches no less than 1.0×10. 8 The horizontal strength of the double insulation layer is Ω·cm; the tensile strength is not less than 9.0 N / mm². 2 The elongation at break is not less than 150%. Therefore, double insulation maintains good electrical and mechanical properties at room temperature and also maintains good insulation properties under fire conditions.
[0039] The function and effect of this embodiment:
[0040] This embodiment effectively prevents flame spread and ensures the cable functions normally under fire conditions by using multiple layers of flame-retardant materials. The use of high-temperature-resistant materials increases the cable's operating temperature and current carrying capacity, extending its service life. Materials with good shielding and waterproof properties protect the cable from external signal interference and moisture corrosion, improving its reliability. The use of elastomer and coating materials increases the cable's flexibility and surface smoothness, facilitating cable laying and maintenance. This optimized combination of materials provides new means and methods for achieving fire resistance and improves the product's electrical performance under normal use and fire conditions.
[0041] While the foregoing description has focused on embodiments, these are merely illustrative and do not limit the scope of the invention. Those skilled in the art will understand that various modifications and applications not illustrated above can be made without departing from the essential characteristics of the embodiments. For example, the constituent elements specifically shown in the embodiments can be implemented through modifications. Furthermore, various differences related to such modifications and applications should be interpreted as including within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
