[0022] In detail Figure 1 As shown in the drawings, the present application discloses a degradable low-smoke halogen-free flame-retardant cable, which comprises, from inside to outside:
[0023] Conductor 1: Its surface is coated with an anti-corrosion coating; specifically, the conductor 1 selects a high-purity annealed copper conductor that meets the national standard to ensure good electrical conductivity. A layer of nano-titanium dioxide anti-corrosion coating is uniformly coated on the surface of the conductor 1 by spraying or dipping process, and then dried and cured at a certain temperature to form a nano-titanium dioxide anti-corrosion coating with a thickness of about 3-8 μm; nano-titanium dioxide has excellent photocatalytic activity and chemical stability, not only can effectively prevent the conductor 1 from being oxidized and corroded, prolong the service life of the conductor 1, but also can inhibit the growth of microorganisms to a certain extent, reduce the performance degradation of the cable caused by microbial erosion.
[0024] The insulating layer 2 is made of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) and modified lignin blended material, and halogen-free flame retardant is added. Polyhydroxyalkanoate is a biodegradable thermoplastic polyester with good biocompatibility and mechanical properties; modified lignin is derived from renewable wood fiber raw materials, which not only enhances the degradability of the material, but also reduces the cost. In the application number 202410911580.3, a kind of polylactic acid-polyhydroxyalkanoate-based degradable composite material and its preparation method are disclosed, which belongs to the technical field of biodegradable materials, and the following steps are included: by combining ternary flame retardant with lignin, a composite material is obtained; the composite material is combined with vegetable oil to obtain a reinforcing modifier; polylactic acid, polyhydroxyalkanoate, reinforcing modifier, antioxidant and lubricant are mixed and added to a double screw extruder, then extruded after melt blending, water cooled, granulated, dried to obtain a polylactic acid-polyhydroxyalkanoate-based degradable composite material; in the technical scheme, the combination of lignin and ternary flame retardant not only toughens polylactic acid, but also improves the mechanical properties and ultraviolet resistance of polylactic acid; the combination of the composite material and vegetable oil improves the compatibility between the composite material and polylactic acid, polyhydroxyalkanoate, and also improves the plasticity and toughness of polylactic acid, and reduces the production cost; in addition, the phosphorus-based halogen-free flame retardant can form a stable carbonized layer when heated, which can isolate oxygen and heat, thereby achieving good flame retardant effect, and at the same time, it will not produce toxic and harmful gases, meeting the requirements of low smoke and halogen-free.
[0025] The shielding layer 3 includes a composite structure of metal mesh and degradable plastic layer; specifically, the shielding layer adopts a separable metal mesh and degradable plastic composite structure. The metal mesh is made of copper mesh or aluminum mesh, which provides good electromagnetic shielding performance; the degradable plastic is made of polybutylene succinate (PBS), and the copper mesh (mesh number 60-80 mesh) and the melt PBS (melt index 10g / 10min) are combined by a high-speed winding machine, with a winding tension of 5-8N, and after cooling, a shielding layer with a thickness of 0.8mm is formed. While ensuring the shielding effect, the degradable property of the shielding layer is realized. Moreover, the connection mode between the metal mesh and the PBS facilitates the separation of metal and plastic during recycling, improving the recycling rate.
[0026] The sheath layer 4 comprises an inner layer 41 and an outer layer 42. The sheath layer is a bio-based thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) and is uniformly mixed with degradable plant fiber short cut filaments, which enhance the mechanical strength and wear resistance of the sheath layer while maintaining the flexibility and degradability of the bio-based TPE. The outer layer is composed of starch-based plastic and nano-montmorillonite, and the addition of nano-montmorillonite significantly improves the strength and flame retardance of the material.
