Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cables, and more specifically, to a flame-retardant and fire-resistant flat control cable. Background Technology
[0002] Control cables are used to transmit power and signals. They connect various switches, relays, instruments, sensors, actuators, and other equipment to control and regulate production processes. They also connect to various communication devices to transmit and process data and signals. Control cables play a crucial role in automated control systems.
[0003] Existing control cables often lack sufficient flame-retardant and fire-resistant properties. In extreme situations such as fires, these cables can easily ignite and spread rapidly, causing power or signal transmission interruptions and potentially leading to larger fire accidents. Some control cables have weak shielding performance, failing to effectively prevent electromagnetic interference and resulting in degraded signal transmission quality. Especially in applications sensitive to electromagnetic interference, this interference can severely impact the stability and reliability of the control system. Some control cables may also lack sufficient abrasion resistance, particularly cables that require frequent movement or operate in harsh environments, making them prone to performance degradation or damage due to wear.

[0004] The present invention aims to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a flame-retardant and fire-resistant flat control cable.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a control cable, comprising, from the outside to the inside, an outer sheath, a wear-resistant layer, an outer flame-retardant layer, an outer shielding layer, and a wrapping layer. The wrapping layer contains a support frame and four cable cores. The support frame has a flat structure and is made of hard rubber. Both ends of the support frame have notches, and each notch has two installation channels for installing the cable cores. The four cable cores are two first cable cores, one second cable core, and one third cable core. The four installation channels are two first installation channels, one second installation channel, and one third installation channel. A cable core includes a first insulation layer and two first conductors located within the first insulation layer. Each first conductor includes a first conductor and a first fire-resistant layer covering the first conductor. A second cable core includes an inner sheath, an inner shielding layer located within the inner sheath, and two second conductors located within the inner shielding layer. From the inside out, each second conductor includes a second conductor, a second fire-resistant layer, a second insulation layer, and an inner flame-retardant layer. A third cable core includes a third conductor, a third fire-resistant layer, and a third insulation layer from the inside out. Both the inner and outer flame-retardant layers are made of flame-retardant polyolefin material. The first, second, and third fire-resistant layers are all mica tape fire-resistant layers.
[0006] Furthermore, each notch has two opposing semicircular first grooves, which form the first mounting channel. One notch has two opposing semicircular second grooves, which form the second mounting channel. The other notch has two opposing semicircular third grooves, which form the third mounting channel.
[0007] Furthermore, the wear-resistant layer is made of polyethylene material.
[0008] This enhances the cable's abrasion resistance.
[0009] Furthermore, the inner shielding layer is a copper wire braided shielding layer.
[0010] Furthermore, the outer shielding layer is an aluminum foil shielding layer.
[0011] This improves the shielding performance of the cable.
[0012] Furthermore, the wrapping layer is a polyester tape wrapping layer.
[0013] This provides reliable electrical insulation and mechanical protection.

[0027] Working principle: The control cable of this application has notches at both ends of a flat support frame. Opening these notches allows for easy installation of each cable core into its corresponding mounting channel. The support frame is made of hard rubber, providing strong resilience, thus ensuring that each cable core is well-wrapped and protected after installation. The first, second, and third cable cores each have different structures, allowing the cable to meet diverse application requirements.
[0028] The control cable of this application features an inner and outer flame-retardant layer, giving it excellent flame-retardant properties and effectively preventing the spread of fire. Each cable core is also equipped with a fire-resistant layer, further enhancing the cable's fire resistance and ensuring normal operation even in extreme conditions such as fires. The double shielding of the outer and inner shielding layers effectively prevents electromagnetic interference and improves the cable's signal transmission quality. Furthermore, the inclusion of a wear-resistant layer between the outer sheath and the outer flame-retardant layer enhances the cable's wear resistance and extends its service life, making it particularly suitable for cables requiring frequent movement or operating in harsh environments.
