Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cable technology, and in particular relates to a special acid and alkali resistant cable for connecting marine photovoltaic panels. Background Technology

[0002] Cables are made of one or more insulated conductors and an outer insulating protective layer, used to transmit electricity or information from one place to another. They consist of single or multiple strands of wire and an insulating layer, and are used to connect circuits, electrical appliances, etc.

[0003] With the continuous development of offshore photovoltaic power generation technology, higher requirements are being placed on the cables connecting the photovoltaic panels. The marine environment is characterized by high humidity and strong acid and alkali corrosion, making ordinary cables susceptible to damage, leading to performance degradation or even failure. Current cables typically use a single outer sheath material, a design with the following technical problems: the outer sheath cannot simultaneously meet the requirements for acid and alkali resistance, tensile strength, and aging resistance; chemical reactions in strong acid and alkali environments can easily cause damage to the outer sheath; and the internal conductors and insulation layers are exposed to the external environment, making them vulnerable to corrosion and mechanical damage, thus affecting the normal use and service life of the cable, increasing maintenance costs, and creating safety hazards.

[0004] To address these issues, we provide a dedicated acid and alkali resistant cable for connecting marine photovoltaic panels. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a special acid and alkali resistant cable for connecting marine photovoltaic panels. By combining the outer sheath, the reinforcing layer and the inner sheath, it solves the problem that the existing cable uses a single outer sheath material, which makes it difficult to meet the requirements of acid and alkali resistance, tensile strength and aging resistance at the same time.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution.

[0007] This utility model relates to a special acid and alkali resistant cable for connecting marine photovoltaic panels, comprising a cable core, an inner sheath covering the surface of the cable core, a reinforcing layer covering the surface of the inner sheath, an outer sheath covering the surface of the reinforcing layer, an insulation layer covering the surface of the inner sheath, a heat insulation layer covering the surface of the insulation layer, a flame retardant layer covering the surface of the heat insulation layer, an anti-torsion layer covering the surface of the reinforcing layer, a high-strength layer covering the surface of the anti-torsion layer, and a puncture-resistant layer covering the surface of the puncture-resistant layer, a first acid and alkali resistant layer covering the surface of the first acid and alkali resistant layer, and a second acid and alkali resistant layer covering the surface of the first acid and alkali resistant layer.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the cable core includes a copper core and acid and alkali resistant alloy wires. The copper core and the acid and alkali resistant alloy wires are made into a cable core by a stranding process. The cable core adopts a stranding process of copper core and acid and alkali resistant alloy wires. On the basis of ensuring the excellent conductivity of copper core, the alloy wires enhance the resistance of cable core 1 to seawater and acid and alkali corrosion. At the same time, the stranding structure gives the cable core good flexibility and tensile strength, meeting the dynamic stress requirements in the marine environment.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that the insulating layer is made of fluororubber, and the surface of the fluororubber is coated with a layer of polytetrafluoroethylene. The insulating layer is made of fluororubber material and coated with polytetrafluoroethylene. The wide temperature range characteristics of fluororubber and the chemical inertness of polytetrafluoroethylene combine to form a dual protection system, which can effectively resist strong acid and alkali, organic solvent corrosion and ultraviolet aging. At the same time, the coating reduces the friction coefficient during cable laying and extends the service life.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the heat insulation layer is made of glass fiber, and the flame retardant layer is filled with magnesium hydroxide between the heat insulation layer and the anti-torsion layer. The heat insulation layer is made of glass fiber material, whose low thermal conductivity effectively blocks external heat conduction; the flame retardant layer is filled with magnesium hydroxide, which decomposes and absorbs heat at high temperatures and inhibits combustion, achieving the UL94V-0 flame retardant standard, and the halogen-free formula avoids the release of toxic gases, taking into account both fire safety and environmental protection requirements.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that the anti-torsion layer is made of high-strength nylon, and the high-strength layer is made of spiral steel strip armor. The anti-torsion layer is made of high-strength nylon material, which provides excellent resistance to torsional deformation; the spiral steel strip armor structure gives the cable radial compressive strength and impact resistance. The dual structure design significantly improves the mechanical reliability of the cable in complex marine environments.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that the puncture-resistant layer is made of a metal mesh, and the metal mesh is woven from tin-plated aluminum wire and steel wire. The puncture-resistant layer is composed of a metal mesh woven from tin-plated aluminum wire and steel wire. The metal weaving structure provides puncture resistance, and the tin plating treatment delays the oxidation of aluminum wire to adapt to the salt spray environment. At the same time, the metal layer forms an electromagnetic shielding layer to reduce the impact of external electromagnetic interference on signal transmission.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that the first acid and alkali resistant layer is made of fluoroprene rubber and the second acid and alkali resistant layer is made of ETFE, forming a double-layer acid and alkali resistant structure composed of fluoroprene rubber and ETFE. The fluoroprene rubber resists oil, ozone erosion and low temperature environment, while the ETFE layer is resistant to strong acid and alkali corrosion and has a UV aging resistance of more than 25 years. Combined with the high temperature resistance of 150℃, a long-term protection system covering the entire temperature range is formed.

[0014] The present invention has the following beneficial effects.

[0015] 1. This utility model, through an innovative multi-layer composite structure design, successfully solves the technical problem of traditional single-sheathed cables being unable to simultaneously achieve acid and alkali resistance, aging resistance, and mechanical strength in marine environments. It adopts a four-element protection system consisting of a cable core, inner sheath, reinforcing layer, and outer sheath. The copper core and acid and alkali resistant alloy wire stranded together maintain high conductivity while achieving long-term salt spray corrosion resistance. The double-layer outer sheath of fluoroprene rubber and ETFE breaks through the limitations of traditional materials, achieving protection in all acid and alkali environments from pH 1 to 14 and retaining tensile strength after long-term QUV aging. The spiral steel tape armor and metal braided mesh form a mechanical protection matrix. Combined with the glass fiber heat insulation layer and magnesium hydroxide flame retardant layer, it ensures insulation resistance retention within a wide temperature range of -50℃ to 150℃. The tin-plated aluminum wire and steel wire braided layer combine protection and electromagnetic shielding effectiveness.
