[0036] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0037] This application discloses a low-smoke halogen-free flat flexible cable.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 A low-smoke halogen-free flat flexible cable includes an outer sheath 1 and multiple conductors 3. The outer sheath 1 is hollow, and a flat receiving cavity 2 is formed inside the outer sheath 1. The multiple conductors 3 are arranged in parallel and located inside the receiving cavity 2. The conductors 3 are made of Class 5 soft copper conductor bundles, and the conductor bundles are required to be uniform, tight, and have a smooth surface, free from defects such as oil stains, burrs, sharp edges, scratches, and protrusions. In order to achieve insulation between adjacent conductors 3, the outer side of the conductors 3 is covered with an insulation layer 4 to form a wire core. The insulation layer 4 is made of cross-linked polyethylene insulation material extruded and molded, with an insulation eccentricity of no more than 10%, and the thinnest point of the insulation layer 4 is no less than 90% of the nominal value. The surface is required to be smooth and free from defects such as old glue and scratches. In addition, for easy identification, the insulation layer 4 covering the conductors 3 can be marked with different colors, such as red, yellow, and blue. In this application, the number of wire cores in the receiving cavity 2 can be two, three, or four, as long as the functional requirements of the cable can be met. In this embodiment, the number of wire cores in the receiving cavity 2 is three.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 Furthermore, during cable installation or use, the insulation layer 4 on the power conductor may wear due to relative sliding between two adjacent power conductors, leading to a short circuit between the power conductors and posing a significant risk. To reduce the possibility of short circuits between conductors 3, multiple insulating separators 5 are included. These separators 5 are distributed along the direction of the conductors 3 and are located within the receiving cavity 2. The insulating separators 5 extend into the gap between two adjacent conductors 3 to assist the insulation layer 4 in providing further insulation isolation.

[0040] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 Specifically, after the insulating separator 5 is bent, it forms multiple clamping cavities 51. The outline of the clamping cavity 51 matches the outline of the wire core. After the wire core passes through the clamping cavity 51, it abuts against and is clamped and fixed with the insulating separator 5.

[0041] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The insulating separator 5 has multiple material receiving holes 52 formed on it. The material receiving holes 52 are located between the protective sleeve and the insulating layer 4. In this application, the material receiving holes 52 can be through holes or blind holes. By using the insulating separator 5 with material receiving holes 52, when the outer sheath 1 is fitted, part of the body of the outer sheath 1 can be embedded into the material receiving holes 52, thereby fixing the relative position between the insulating separator 5 and the outer sheath 1.

[0042] Reference Figure 4 Furthermore, the diameter of the material receiving hole 52 gradually increases from the side closer to the outer sheath 1 to the side closer to the insulating layer 4; the connection stability between the outer sheath 1 and the insulating separator 5 can be improved by the material receiving hole 52 with the diameter gradually increasing from the side closer to the outer sheath 1 to the side closer to the insulating layer 4.

[0043] Reference Figure 5 To improve the overall tensile strength of the cable, at least one tensile reinforcing rope 6 is fixedly connected between two adjacent insulating separators 5, and the tensile reinforcing rope 6 is located inside the receiving cavity 2. Specifically, the outer sheath 1 includes a wear-resistant layer 11, a flame-retardant layer 12, and a shielding layer 13 arranged sequentially from the outside to the inside, and the receiving cavity 2 is filled with flame-retardant filler 7 to further improve the flame-retardant performance of the cable. In this application, the number of tensile reinforcing ropes 6 between two adjacent insulating separators 5 can be one, two, or three, as long as it can improve the tensile strength of the cable. In this embodiment, the number of tensile reinforcing ropes 6 between two adjacent insulating separators 5 is three.

[0044] The implementation principle of a low-smoke halogen-free flat flexible cable according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: First, a Class 5 soft copper conductor bundle is made into a conductor 3. Then, an insulation layer 4 is extruded and coated on the outside of the conductor 3 to obtain the wire core. At this time, the already bent insulation separator 5 is connected to the wire core, so that the wire core passes through the clamping cavity 51 formed on the insulation separator 5. At this time, multiple wire cores are arranged in parallel to form the inner core. Then, two adjacent insulation separators 5 are connected by tensile reinforcing ropes 6. Then, an outer sheath 1 is wrapped on the outside, and flame-retardant filler 7 is filled in the receiving cavity 2. Electrical energy can be transmitted through the conductor 3, and the insulation layer 4 can wrap the conductor 3, thereby avoiding short circuits between adjacent conductors 3. The insulation separator 5 can further separate two adjacent conductors 3 on the basis of the insulation layer 4, thereby further reducing the possibility of short circuits between conductors 3 due to damage to the surface insulation layer 4.

[0045] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
