Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable technology, specifically to a torsion-resistant polyethylene insulated cable. Background Technology
[0002] A cable is a conductor consisting of one or more mutually insulated conductors and an outer insulating protective layer. It is laid underground, in the air, etc., and generally consists of three parts: the conductor, the insulation layer, and the protective layer. There are usually two types: power cables and control cables. Power cables are mainly used for the transmission and distribution of electrical energy; control cables are mainly used for measurement, protection, and control lines. Insulated cables are a common type of cable. They are electrical transmission lines mainly used in power systems and electrical equipment. Polyethylene, due to its excellent physical and mechanical properties, high heat resistance, excellent electrical insulation, and chemical stability, is often used to manufacture the insulation layer of various wires and cables.
[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN214624496U, authorized on November 5, 2021, discloses a torsion-resistant, water-blocking insulated cable. The cable core comprises four power cores and four polyethylene resin core rods twisted together. The total cross-sectional area of the four power cores is 50% to 65% of the total cross-sectional area of the cable core. The cable core is sequentially covered with a silane-grafted cross-linked low-density polyethylene insulation layer, a butyl rubber moisture-proof layer, a polypropylene moisture-absorbing layer, and a CPE outer sheath. Each power core consists of four strands twisted together to form a core body, which is covered with a PET wrapping tape layer. The strands are composed of several tinned copper monofilaments twisted together, with a diameter of 0.02mm to 0.05mm. This cable effectively reduces friction between the conductor copper wires, exhibits better flexibility and torsion resistance, effectively prevents conductor breakage, has excellent waterproof and moisture-proof performance, delays water treeing aging, and provides excellent insulation, thus improving the safety and reliability of the cable.
[0004] The inner conductor of existing cables is generally made of concentric strands of copper wire. The mechanical properties of each wire core are insufficient. After being subjected to different degrees of twisting and bending, the outer sheath of the wire core is prone to breakage. In addition, the simple internal structure of the cable results in poor fire resistance and poor performance in high-temperature environments, which cannot meet the usage requirements.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] This utility model device incorporates a torsion-resistant layer, an armor layer, and a flexible metal sheath. The torsion-resistant layer and armor layer increase the structural strength of the cable core, while the metal wires and nylon filaments are woven into a mesh structure to increase the cable's flexibility and bending performance. This provides an additional bending radius, making the cable more flexible and durable when bent, without causing excessive stress to the internal conductors and insulation layers. The flexible metal sheath increases the mechanical strength of each conductor, enabling it to resist deformation and breakage when the cable is subjected to torsional forces, thus maintaining its structural integrity and performance stability.
[0015] This utility model device incorporates a fire-resistant layer, a flame-retardant layer, and a heat insulation layer. The flame-retardant layer uses ceramicized silicone rubber, which has excellent fireproof, flame-retardant, low-smoke, and non-toxic properties. Its residue after combustion is a hard ceramicized shell, which can effectively prevent the spread of flames. The heat insulation layer uses glass fiber, which has high strength and good heat insulation effect. It plays a role in heat insulation protection for the inside of the cable in high-temperature environments, greatly improving the fire resistance of the cable.
[0016] This utility model device incorporates a waterproof coating and an anti-corrosion coating. The waterproof coating uses epoxy resin, which has excellent adhesion and corrosion resistance. After curing, it forms a hard coating that effectively prevents moisture penetration. The anti-corrosion coating uses polyurethane, which has oil resistance, wear resistance, cold resistance, water resistance, aging resistance, and weather resistance, greatly improving the service life of the cable's outer protective structure.
