Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mining cable technology, and in particular to an explosion-proof composite cable for communication control of coal mining machines. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, to prevent gas outbursts in coal mining, coal mines are generally equipped with various ventilation and gas extraction control equipment, as well as underground monitoring equipment with signal transceiver functions for ventilation, gas extraction, and monitoring underground conditions. However, due to the need for repeated cable laying and systematic management and maintenance, investment, renovation, and maintenance costs increase. As a result, a considerable number of small coal mines, in order to save costs, have poor safety production conditions, outdated production processes, incomplete ventilation systems, inadequate gas extraction systems, and malfunctioning safety monitoring systems. Illegal and unlicensed production occurs frequently, leading to frequent accidents and causing significant economic losses and loss of life and property. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This utility model addresses the problems mentioned in the background art by providing an explosion-proof composite cable for communication and control in coal mining machines. It integrates the laying of communication and control cables while laying and upgrading power cables, which can effectively reduce the management and maintenance costs of cable laying, reduce line investment and upgrading costs, and facilitate its use in mines of all sizes, thus preventing mining accidents.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] An explosion-proof composite cable for communication and control in a coal mining machine is characterized by comprising a power cable unit, a control cable unit, a communication unit, a cable core assembly wrapping tape, an inner sheath, a fiber braided layer, and an outer sheath.
[0006] The power cable unit includes three phase wires, a phase wire monitoring wire, and a ground wire. Each phase wire includes a conductor and a phase wire insulation layer. The conductor is a Class 5 tin-plated annealed soft copper conductor with a conductor diameter of 16-120mm. 2 The outer layer of the phase wire insulation layer is extruded, and the phase wire insulation layer is made of EPDM rubber insulation material. The phase wire monitoring line is composed of a monitoring wire core conductor with a semi-conductive EPDM rubber composite layer extruded on the outside. The ground wire is composed of a bare conductor with a semi-conductive layer extruded on the outside.
[0007] The control cable unit includes a cable core consisting of 7 insulated wire cores, a shielding braided layer, and a control unit sheath. The shielding braided layer is a layer of tinned copper wire wrapped around the control cable core, and the control unit sheath is a layer of high molecular weight polyethylene sheath extruded over the shielding braided layer.
[0008] In the gap between the three phase wires, the phase wire monitoring wire and the ground wire, an optical fiber unit is provided at the center of the cable core assembly. The optical fiber unit is a central loose tube type optical cable with symmetrically arranged phosphated steel wire reinforcements.
[0009] The cable core assembly wrapping tape is a non-woven fabric wrapping tape material with reinforcing ribs. It is wrapped around the cable core assembly composed of power cable unit, control cable unit and communication unit. First, the gaps between each unit are filled and rounded by the filler, and then the cable core assembly is tied tightly.
[0010] The inner sheath covers the cable core assembly wrapping tape. The inner sheath is made of chlorinated polyethylene elastomer material with an average thickness of ≥2.8mm. The inner side of the inner sheath has an adhesive layer. The adhesive layer connects the inner sheath with the wires and cable core assembly wrapping tape inside the cable core assembly to form a whole bearing structure, thereby improving the physical performance of the cable.
[0011] The fiber braided layer covers the inner sheath. The fiber braided layer is a fiber armor woven by a 36-spindle metal braiding machine. The material is aramid polymer, carbon nanotube or metal matrix composite material.
[0012] The outer sheath covers the fiber braided layer and is made of a neoprene rubber composite material. The oxygen index of the sheath material reaches 45 or higher, and it fully possesses functions such as explosion-proof, flame-retardant, and wear-resistant properties.
[0013] A further aspect of this invention is that, in order to balance the requirements of design dimensions and physical performance, the thickness of the outer sheath is 5.5mm-7.0mm.
[0014] A further aspect of this invention is that, depending on the different communication power and functional requirements, the number of fiber cores in the optical fiber unit is 2-64.
[0015] A further aspect of this invention is that, in order to adapt to the specific dimensions of the cable design while ensuring a good shielding effect, the braiding density of the shielding braid of the control cable unit is greater than or equal to 85%.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: it can effectively avoid problems such as mine gas outbursts, inadequate safety monitoring and environmental monitoring, missed inspections of electromechanical equipment, and frequent coal mining accidents; at the same time, it can prevent cable core breakage caused by frequent cable movement, improve safe and scientific coal production, reduce or eliminate the occurrence of mine accidents; and by integrating the laying of communication and control cables while laying and upgrading power cables, it can effectively reduce the management and maintenance costs of cable laying, reduce line investment and upgrading costs, and facilitate its application in mines of all sizes.
