Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable technology, specifically a waterproof cable for landscape lighting. Background Technology

[0002] Landscape lighting equipment requires cables for power supply. For example, in the construction of parks and residential areas, water environment lighting such as fountains is often involved. In order to improve the aesthetics, lighting cables are often laid underwater. However, fish and other aquatic creatures are often kept in the water, which places high demands on the waterproof and tear-resistant properties of the cables. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the existing defects and provide a waterproof cable for landscape lights, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model discloses a waterproof cable for landscape lighting. The technical solution includes a power line and a grounding wire, both housed within a sheath. The power line includes a first conductor with a first insulation layer. The grounding wire includes a second conductor with a second insulation layer. The power line and grounding wire are located within a support frame, which includes a central frame and multiple planetary frames. Multiple planetary frames are located around and connected to the central frame. The power line is located within the planetary frames, and the grounding wire is located within the central frame. The support frame provides stable support for the cable and can maintain its integrity. The relative positions of the internal conductors are maintained. Between the power wire and the planetary carrier, there is a first filler layer, a first flame-retardant layer, and a first waterproof layer. Between the grounding wire and the center carrier, there is a second filler layer, a second flame-retardant layer, and a second waterproof layer. The filler layer protects the internal conductors, the flame-retardant layer reduces the probability of fire, and the waterproof layer prevents short circuits in the conductors when used underwater. The gaps between the multiple planetary carriers are filled with a third filler layer, which protects the internal conductors and maintains their roundness. Outside the third filler layer, a third waterproof layer, a puncture-resistant layer, and a sheath are sequentially arranged. The third waterproof layer prevents external water from seeping into the cable, and the puncture-resistant layer prevents underwater organisms from tearing the cable.

[0005] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, both the first conductor and the second conductor are twisted conductors of tin-plated soft copper wire and water-blocking yarn. The water-blocking yarn enables longitudinal water blocking.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, both the first insulating layer and the second insulating layer shown are modified EPDM rubber insulating layers, which can give the cable good flexibility while improving the cable's torsion resistance.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the first filling layer and the second filling layer are halogen-free rubber strips; the third filling layer is halogen-free low-smoke polyolefin, and the halogen-free low-smoke polyolefin filler can achieve waterproof and flame-retardant effects.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the first flame-retardant layer and the second flame-retardant layer are high flame-retardant fiberglass tapes.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the first waterproof layer and the second waterproof layer are single-sided adhesive water-blocking strips; the third waterproof layer is made of TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) material.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the puncture-resistant layer is a zinc-nickel alloy mesh layer.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the sheath is a modified polyether polyurethane sheath.

[0012] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention, by employing a composite water-blocking conductor made of soft tin-plated material and water-blocking yarn, maintains the flexibility of the wire and provides longitudinal waterproofing. The first and second filler layers on the core protect the conductor, achieving a flame-retardant effect. The core support maintains the relative position of the cores and improves the tensile strength of the cable. The third filler layer and the third waterproof layer further enhance the flame-retardant and waterproofing effects. The waterproofing is radial, thus working in conjunction with the longitudinal waterproofing of the water-blocking yarn to achieve a bidirectional waterproofing effect. The puncture-resistant layer effectively prevents animals in the water from tearing the cable. This invention can be used after long-term immersion in water with minimal impact on its electrical performance. Attached Figure Description
