Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flame-retardant cable technology, and in particular to a flame-retardant power cable. Background Technology
[0002] Flame-retardant cables are cables that do not easily burn under certain conditions and do not release toxic fumes when burning. These cables are typically used in environments where flammable or toxic gases may be present to reduce fire risk and minimize threats to life and property. The characteristics of flame-retardant cables lie in the materials used and the manufacturing process. The outer sheath of these cables is usually made of flame-retardant materials, such as flame-retardant PVC, which shrinks when exposed to flames, preventing the spread of fire. Furthermore, the internal filling material of flame-retardant cables is also specially treated to prevent the release of toxic fumes when the wires burn. Flame-retardant cables are widely used in various fields, such as power, chemical, petroleum, and mining. In these fields, where large amounts of flammable and toxic substances are present, the use of flame-retardant cables can effectively reduce fire risk and protect personnel and property safety.

The insulation layer includes a polyimide film layer, and the inner side of the polyimide film layer is pressed together with the conductor core. An alkali-free cloth filling layer is pressed onto the outer wall of the polyimide film layer. An electrically insulating silicone grease coating is applied to the outer wall of the electrically insulating silicone grease coating. A flame-retardant layer is pressed onto the outer wall of the electrically insulating silicone grease coating. The flame-retardant layer includes a modified polyacrylonitrile fiber filling layer, and the inner side of the modified polyacrylonitrile fiber filling layer is pressed together with the electrically insulating silicone grease coating.

The aluminum silicate fire-resistant layer is made of aluminum silicate material with poor toughness and is easily damaged, making it difficult to safely and stably protect the cable. Therefore, we propose a flame-retardant power cable to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0011] The composite flame-retardant layer in this invention includes a first flame-retardant layer, a second flame-retardant layer, and a third flame-retardant layer. The flame-retardant rubber material of the first flame-retardant layer has excellent flame-retardant properties, which can effectively prevent the spread of flames and reduce the risk of fire. This is crucial for equipment such as cables that need to be installed in flammable, explosive, or other hazardous environments. It also has excellent high-temperature resistance, which can maintain the stability of its structure and performance in high-temperature environments, thus helping to improve the service life and safety performance of the cable. It possesses excellent electrical insulation properties, ensuring stable and reliable electrical performance of the cable; it has excellent chemical corrosion resistance, resisting the erosion of chemicals such as acids, alkalis, and salts, thus extending the cable's service life; the second flame-retardant layer, made of ceramicized silicone rubber, exhibits excellent flame-retardant properties, effectively preventing the spread of flames and reducing fire risk; at high temperatures, the ceramicized silicone rubber can form a hard shell, protecting burned objects from damage and buying valuable time for evacuation and rescue in case of fire; it also possesses excellent mechanical properties, such as wear resistance, pressure resistance, and impact resistance, resisting damage to the cable from external forces and improving its stability and reliability; the third flame-retardant layer, made of wear-resistant rubber, has excellent flame-retardant properties; in the event of a fire, the wear-resistant rubber can effectively prevent the spread of fire. It reduces fire damage; effectively resists various abrasions and frictions, extending cable lifespan; this abrasion resistance is particularly important in harsh working environments, as abrasion-resistant rubber ensures stable cable operation and reduces problems caused by cable faults, regardless of whether the environment is high-intensity or contains corrosive substances. It possesses excellent mechanical properties, such as high strength and high elasticity, resisting damage from external forces and improving cable stability and reliability; it also has good electrical insulation properties, ensuring stable and reliable electrical performance. This solves the problem that existing flame-retardant cables using modified polyacrylonitrile fiber filling layers are prone to static electricity generation due to friction. Static electricity in the cable generates electromagnetic fields, affecting its own transmission stability and causing electromagnetic interference to other surrounding electronic equipment and systems. Furthermore, the aluminosilicate fire-resistant layer uses aluminosilicate materials with poor toughness, making it easy to break and unable to safely and stably protect the cable.
[0012] The water-tree-resistant chemically cross-linked polyethylene insulation material in this invention possesses excellent electrical properties, such as high insulation resistance and low dielectric loss, ensuring superior electrical performance of the cable. The addition of an anti-water-tree agent enhances its water resistance, allowing it to maintain good insulation performance even in humid environments. It also exhibits high mechanical strength, preventing damage from external forces. Furthermore, it boasts high heat resistance, enabling normal operation at higher temperatures and reducing cable failure rates. This water-tree-resistant chemically cross-linked polyethylene insulation material is non-toxic, odorless, and harmless to the environment and human body, meeting environmental protection requirements. The interconnected semi-conductive shielding material in the shielding layer eliminates air gaps on the conductor core surface, improving resistance to partial discharge and tree discharge. It also provides a uniform electric field on the conductor core surface, reducing the maximum working field strength on the conductor surface caused by the wire effect. The interconnected semi-conductive shielding effectively weakens the electric field strength near burrs, reducing field emission and thus improving resistance to tree discharge. When the cable temperature suddenly rises, the interconnected semi-conductive shielding layer prevents the high temperature from immediately impacting the insulation layer, reducing the temperature rise and protecting the main insulation.
