Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cables, and in particular to a cross-linked polyethylene insulated control cable. Background Technology
[0002] Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulated control cables are widely used in electrical control systems. These cables typically consist of a conductor, XLPE insulation layer, filler, wrapping tape, and sheath, from the inside out. The XLPE insulation layer is a core component, made of XLPE material, and provides electrical isolation to the conductor. However, XLPE has poor heat resistance and adhesion; at high temperatures, the XLPE insulation layer may adhere to other materials, leading to handling difficulties or damage. Furthermore, the cable's electromagnetic interference resistance is generally poor, and the outer sheath's strength, abrasion resistance, and bending performance are also average, making it prone to wear and resulting in a short service life.

[0012] The following will describe in detail the embodiments of this utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation
[0013] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:
[0014] like Figures 1-2 As shown, a cross-linked polyethylene insulated control cable includes a central rope 1 and a plurality of conductors 2 arranged around the circumference of the central rope 1. The conductors 2 are covered with a conductor shielding layer 3, which helps to distribute the electric field evenly and reduce the risk of partial discharge.
[0015] The conductor shielding layer 3 is covered with a first isolation layer 4, the first isolation layer 4 is covered with a cross-linked polyethylene insulation layer 5, and the cross-linked polyethylene insulation layer 5 is covered with a second isolation layer 6. The first isolation layer 4 and the second isolation layer 6 separate the cross-linked polyethylene insulation layer 5 to prevent it from sticking to other materials under high temperature conditions.
[0016] The second isolation layer 6 is covered with an insulating shielding layer 7. The insulating shielding layer 7 can improve the electric field distribution and prevent external electromagnetic interference from affecting the internal signal.
[0017] Several insulating shielding layers 7 are covered with waterproof wrapping layers 8, which serve to shape and waterproof. The gaps between the waterproof wrapping layers 8, the insulating shielding layers 7, and the central rope 1 are filled with filler 9, which is a flame-retardant filler, serving to shape and retard.
[0018] The waterproof wrapping layer 8 is covered with a metal shielding layer 10, such as copper wire mesh or aluminum foil, to further reduce electromagnetic interference and improve safety.
[0019] The outer side of the metal shielding layer 10 is covered by an inner sheath 11, and the outer side of the inner sheath 11 is covered by a reinforcing layer 12. The reinforcing layer 12 is a fiber braided layer, such as a braided layer made of glass fiber, carbon fiber or aramid fiber. This braided layer can provide additional mechanical protection and reinforcement.
[0020] The outer sheath 13 is wrapped around the reinforcing layer 12. The outer sheath 13 is coated with a silicone resin coating layer. The silicone resin coating has excellent weather resistance and temperature resistance, can maintain good performance over a wide temperature range, and can resist the corrosion of ultraviolet rays and chemicals in the atmosphere, thus enhancing the cable's anti-aging performance.
[0021] The outer sheath 13 has a wave structure 14 on its outer side. The wave structure 14 makes the outer surface of the outer sheath 13 not smooth, but has a periodic concave-convex shape, which has the following advantages: improved bending performance, the wave structure 14 allows the cable to adapt more flexibly to different curvature radii when bending, because the waves can stretch and compress to a certain extent, thereby reducing stress concentration on the sheath material; increased abrasion resistance, the wave structure 14 can disperse external friction, reduce wear in a single area, and extend the service life of the cable; enhanced compressive strength, the wave structure 14 can absorb and disperse external pressure, providing better mechanical protection and preventing the outer sheath 13 from being squeezed, deformed or damaged; improved grip, the wave structure 14 provides a better grip, making it easier for installers to operate and lay cables, especially when manual handling of the cable is required; drainage performance, in outdoor applications, the wave structure 14 helps drainage, preventing moisture from accumulating on the cable surface, thereby reducing the risk of corrosion.
[0022] This invention has good shielding effect, good wear resistance and bending performance, and the cross-linked polyethylene insulation layer 5 is not easy to stick to the adjacent materials, resulting in good performance and long service life.
