Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable technology, and in particular to a novel dynamic steady-state double explosion-proof flexible cable. Background Technology

[0002] In hazardous environments such as petroleum, chemical, and coal mines, the safety of electrical equipment and systems is paramount, as these environments often contain flammable and explosive gases or dust. Against this backdrop, explosion-proof cables have emerged as a special type of cable designed to prevent explosions caused by short circuits or electrical sparks.

[0003] The development history of explosion-proof cables can be traced back to the early 20th century, when the petroleum and chemical industries began to flourish, and the demand for explosion-proof cables gradually emerged. Initially, lead-insulated cables were used for explosion protection. Although these cables had a certain level of protection, problems such as the easy oxidation of lead and unstable electrical performance gradually became apparent.

[0004] With advancements in technology, the manufacturing technology of explosion-proof cables has been continuously improved. In the 1940s, silicone and polyvinyl chloride were adopted as the insulating and shielding layers for cables, which greatly improved their explosion-proof performance. By the 1980s, the application of technologies such as steel tape armor and corrugated insulation further enhanced the reliability and safety of explosion-proof cables.

[0005] Modern explosion-proof cables employ special materials and structural designs, possessing a variety of superior performance characteristics. Their conductors typically use copper or aluminum cores, while the insulation layer utilizes special materials that are high-temperature resistant, corrosion-resistant, and low-smoke halogen-free. Furthermore, explosion-proof cables also possess flame-retardant properties, reducing the rate of fire spread in the event of a fire. These performance characteristics enable explosion-proof cables to operate stably in hazardous environments, ensuring workplace safety and reliability. However, existing explosion-proof cables have poor performance and limited functionality, requiring optimization and improvement. Therefore, we propose a novel dynamic steady-state dual explosion-proof flexible cable. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a novel dynamic steady-state double explosion-proof flexible cable, which features wear resistance, good bending performance, strong tensile strength, strong climate adaptability, and good explosion-proof performance.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A novel dynamic steady-state explosion-proof flexible cable is designed, comprising three main conductors. The three main conductors are wrapped together with a wrapping tape. A second reinforcing layer is provided outside the wrapping tape. An inner sheath is provided outside the second reinforcing layer. A composite braided reinforcing layer is wrapped outside the inner sheath. An outer sheath is provided outside the composite braided reinforcing layer. Each main conductor comprises a circular tin-plated flexible conductor, an insulation layer, and a first reinforcing layer. The circular tin-plated flexible conductor is wrapped with an insulation layer, and the first reinforcing layer is provided outside the insulation layer.

[0009] Preferably, the circular tin-plated soft conductor is a type VI tin-plated copper conductor.

[0010] Preferably, the insulating layer is made of ethylene propylene rubber.

[0011] Preferably, both the first reinforcing layer and the second reinforcing layer are woven from fiber filaments.

[0012] Preferably, the wrapping tape is made of non-woven fabric.

[0013] Preferably, the inner protective layer is made of rubber sheath material.

[0014] Preferably, the composite braided reinforcing layer is made of a mixture of copper wire and fiber filaments.

[0015] Preferably, the outer sheath is made of chlorosulfonated polyethylene sheath material.

[0016] This utility model proposes a novel dynamic steady-state double explosion-proof flexible cable, which has the following advantages: It features a first reinforcing layer and a second reinforcing layer. These two layers ensure the stability of the entire product structure, prevent core slippage, and reduce stress concentration during bending, thus improving the product's bending performance. Simultaneously, they enhance the cable's resistance in explosion-proof environments. The composite braided reinforcing layer is made of a mixture of copper wire and fiber filaments, providing shielding and anti-interference properties as well as strengthening the cable's explosion-proof capabilities. The inner sheath uses rubber material, offering good elasticity and flexibility, enhancing the overall mechanical properties of the cable. The outer sheath uses chlorosulfonated polyethylene material, exhibiting high chemical stability and excellent resistance to ozone, chemical corrosion, and oil erosion; it also possesses high flame retardancy and resistance to explosions and fires; furthermore, it boasts excellent mechanical properties and good tensile elasticity.

[0017] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description
