Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable technology, specifically to a fire-resistant and bend-resistant marine cable. Background Technology

[0002] Marine cables are electrical wires and cables specifically designed for use on various river and sea vessels, as well as in near-shore or offshore structures. They include various types such as marine power cables, control cables, and communication cables. These cables are characterized by their small size, light weight, safety, reliability, and long lifespan, and possess excellent properties such as temperature resistance, fire resistance, flame retardancy, oil resistance, moisture resistance, and seawater resistance. They are widely used in the power, lighting, control, and communication systems of ships, ensuring the normal operation of the vessel in various complex environments. The selection of marine cables must be based on the actual conditions of the ship and the requirements of the electrical system to ensure that their quality and performance meet the requirements, thereby guaranteeing the safe operation of the ship. The environment in which ships operate is very complex, which places high demands on marine cables. The cables must be flexible enough for easy wiring and movement, and they must have sufficiently high fire resistance to ensure that they can remain in a fire for as long as possible, creating conditions for personnel to escape.

[0003] To address this, Chinese Patent No. CN222260607U discloses a marine lightweight power cable. By sequentially setting a first flame-retardant layer, a second flame-retardant layer, and a third flame-retardant layer on the outer surface of the wrapping tape, the first, second, and third flame-retardant layers can play a role in flame retardancy, slowing down, and preventing the spread of fire in the event of a fire. However, the above-mentioned cable and the cables in the prior art have insufficient flexibility and tensile strength. When the cable is laid or used, it is easily damaged when it is bent or stretched, resulting in poor signal transmission or affecting power transmission. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model proposes a fire-resistant and bend-resistant marine cable that improves the cable's flexibility and strength while ensuring normal power supply and communication transmission, exhibiting excellent bending and tensile strength properties.

[0005] The fire-resistant and bend-resistant marine cable of this utility model adopts the following technical solution, including multiple core wires twisted together and a sheath wrapped around the multiple core wires; the core wire includes denier wires, an insulation layer and multiple conductors, the multiple conductors are twisted around the denier wires, and the insulation layer is wrapped around the multiple conductors.

[0006] Optionally, a mica tape is provided between the conductor and the insulating layer.

[0007] Optionally, a fiberglass tape is provided between the insulation layer and the sheath.

[0008] Optionally, a shielding layer is provided between the insulation layer and the fiberglass tape.

[0009] Optionally, the shielding layer includes an aluminum foil Mylar layer and a copper wire braided layer.

[0010] Optionally, the copper wire braid layer adopts a tin-plated copper braid structure with a braid density greater than 80%.

[0011] Optionally, the conductor is a Class 6 tin-plated copper conductor, and the denier wire is 500D white denier wire.

[0012] Optionally, the insulation layer may be made of a thermoplastic elastomer material.

[0013] Optionally, the sheath may be made of polyurethane elastomer material.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This fire-resistant and bend-resistant marine cable improves the cable's flexibility and strength by adding denier wires to the center of the conductor of a single cable. Combined with a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) insulation layer and a polyurethane elastomer (TPU) sheath, it further optimizes the cable's bend resistance, preventing cracking of the sheath and insulation layer when the cable is bent or stretched during installation and use. The addition of mica tape and fiberglass tape enhances fire resistance, preventing conductor burnout in the event of a fire, thus preventing disruption of circuit or signal transmission and providing escape and firefighting conditions. The double shielding system, consisting of a copper wire braided layer and an aluminum foil Mylar layer, ensures the stability of signal transmission. Attached Figure Description
