Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power cable technology, specifically to a copper core cross-linked polyethylene insulating sheath with flame-retardant properties. Background Technology

[0002] Copper-core cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation sheath refers to a power cable structure that uses copper as the conductor, cross-linked polyethylene as the insulation layer, and a specific material (such as polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, or polyolefin) as the sheath. The XLPE insulation layer has high insulation resistance and dielectric properties, ensuring that the cable maintains good electrical performance during long-term operation.

[0003] While existing cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation sheaths possess high heat resistance and aging resistance, their molecular chains may still break under high temperature or open flame conditions, generating flammable gases. These gases will ignite rapidly upon contact with an open flame or high-temperature heat source, causing the fire to spread. Therefore, the flame-retardant properties of XLPE insulation sheaths are relatively limited. To address this, a copper-core XLPE insulation sheath with flame-retardant properties is proposed.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a copper core cross-linked polyethylene insulating sheath with flame retardant effect, including a sheath body 100, wherein the sheath body 100 is composed of an inner sheath 200, a middle sheath 300 and an outer sheath 400 distributed sequentially from the inside to the outside, and the inner sheath 200, the middle sheath 300 and the outer sheath 400 are coaxial, and the inner sheath 200, the middle sheath 300 and the outer sheath 400 are all made of cross-linked polyethylene material.

[0020] Specifically, the inner sheath 200 has an external pressure-resistant layer for supporting it, and an internal protective layer for shielding and insulating the copper core. The pressure-resistant layer includes a metal mesh 203 wrapped around the outer surface of the inner sheath 200, which improves the overall pressure resistance of the inner sheath 200, and a mica wrapping tape 204 on the outer surface of the metal mesh 203 for wrapping and fixing it. The metal mesh 203 is made of aluminum. The protective layer includes a heat-insulating sleeve 202 in the middle of the inner sheath 200, and a shielding tape 201 wrapped around the outer surface of the heat-insulating sleeve 202. The heat-insulating sleeve 202 is made of silicone, and the shielding tape 201 is a semi-conductive nylon tape with good insulation performance and mechanical strength.

[0021] Specifically, the inner sheath 300 has a reinforcing layer, which includes a metal shaped flexible tube 303 located in the middle of the inner sheath 300. This layer retains the bending performance of the power cable and further improves the overall compressive strength. A filling cavity is provided between the metal shaped flexible tube 303 and the inner sheath 300, and the cavity is filled with filler cotton 302, which is glass wool. The outer surface of the filler cotton 302 is wrapped with insulating tape 301, which is fiberglass tape, to wrap and merge the filler cotton 302. The outer surface of the inner sheath 300 is coated with a first fire-retardant coating, which is an epoxy intumescent fire-retardant coating. When heated, it expands and foams to form a carbonized foam insulation layer or a carbonaceous foam heat insulation layer, which delays the transfer of heat to the substrate and prevents the object from igniting or reduces its combustion intensity.

[0022] Specifically, the outer sheath 400 has a flame-retardant layer inside, which includes a flame-retardant sleeve 401 in the middle of the outer sheath 400. The flame-retardant sleeve 401 is made of silicone material, and a flame-retardant wrapping tape 402 is wrapped around the outer surface of the flame-retardant sleeve 401. The flame-retardant wrapping tape 402 is a silicone rubber coated cloth. The outer surface of the outer sheath 400 is coated with a second fire-retardant coating. The second fire-retardant coating is a wood structure fire-retardant coating, which decomposes into non-combustible inert gas when heated, diluting the combustible gas decomposed by the protected object when heated, making it less likely to burn or slowing down the burning speed.

[0023] Based on the above, by setting a first fireproof coating, a second fireproof coating, and a flame-retardant layer, this utility model can reduce the amount of flammable gas in the sleeve 100 under high temperature or open flame conditions, reduce its possibility of combustion, and improve overall safety; by setting a compressive strength layer, a protective layer, and a reinforcing layer, this utility model can improve the overall compressive strength of the sleeve 100, prevent it from being damaged in harsh environments, and further improve its flame-retardant performance.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
