Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cables, and in particular to a fireproof and explosion-proof cable. Background Technology
[0002] Fire-resistant and explosion-proof cables have broad application prospects and are mainly used in: key circuits such as fire alarm systems, emergency lighting, and power supplies for fire-fighting equipment in the building industry; power supply, signal transmission, and lighting systems in transportation hubs such as subways, high-speed railways, airports, and docks in the transportation industry; key infrastructure such as oil drilling platforms, natural gas pipelines, wind power stations, and nuclear power plants in the energy industry; data centers and communication networks; industrial fields such as petrochemicals, steel smelting, and pharmaceuticals; and important fields such as public safety and monitoring systems and aerospace. These places need to ensure the stable operation of electrical systems under extreme conditions to prevent serious safety accidents and social management chaos caused by power and communication interruptions due to fires.
[0003] For example, Chinese utility model patent announcement number CN 202839059 U discloses a ceramicized fire-resistant cable. This cable includes at least one set of core wires, inorganic filler, a second ceramicized fire-resistant composite tape, and a halogen-free, low-smoke, flame-retardant polyolefin sheath. The core wires are wrapped with the second ceramicized fire-resistant composite tape, and inorganic filler is used between the core wires and between the core wires and the second ceramicized fire-resistant composite tape. The outer layer of the second ceramicized fire-resistant composite tape is extruded with a halogen-free, low-smoke, flame-retardant polyolefin sheath. The ceramicized fire-resistant composite tape used in this cable becomes ceramicized after high temperatures. Although it can resist high temperatures, it becomes brittle. When the cable's internal structure is heated or the outer sheath expands due to heat, the ceramicized fire-resistant composite tape is easily cracked, causing it to lose its function of forming a fire-resistant barrier. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a fireproof and explosion-proof cable with a sandwich structure that can be covered with a ceramic fireproof and fire-resistant composite tape to resist shear force. Even if the inside is broken, the surface layer still covers the inside, achieving the effect of crack-free but not leaking, and can still effectively form a fireproof isolation zone.
[0005] To solve the above problems, a fireproof and explosion-proof cable is adopted, which includes:
[0006] conductor;
[0007] An insulating layer that covers the surface of a conductor;
[0008] A semi-conductive shielding layer that covers the surface of the insulating layer;
[0009] The inner fireproof layer covers the surface of the semi-conductive shielding layer, and together with the conductor, insulation layer and semi-conductive shielding layer, it forms a single conductor.
[0010] The composite external fireproof layer covers the outside of multiple conductors and has a sandwich structure. The two outer layers are fiber cloth impregnated with high-temperature heat-insulating and flame-retardant coatings, and the core layer is a ceramicized fireproof and fire-resistant composite strip.
[0011] The shielding layer is wrapped around the composite outer fireproof layer;
[0012] An isolation layer, which covers the shielding layer;
[0013] The sheath covers the insulating layer.
[0014] With this structure, even though the ceramicized fireproof and fire-resistant composite strip in the composite outer fireproof layer becomes more brittle after ceramicization, it is covered by fiber cloth coated with high-temperature heat-insulating and flame-retardant coating on both sides. It only breaks inside the fiber cloth, while the fiber cloth on both sides still forms an integral whole with the composite strip, achieving the effect of breaking without leaking, and still effectively forming a fireproof isolation strip.
[0015] As a further improvement of this utility model, the conductor is made of stranded tin-copper alloy wire.
[0016] As a further improvement of this utility model, the insulating layer is made of fluoroplastic extrusion molding.
[0017] As a further improvement of this utility model, the semi-conductive shielding layer uses fluoroplastic as the substrate and adds carbon black as a conductive filler in the extrusion molding process.
[0018] As a further improvement of this utility model, the inner fireproof layer is a ceramicized fireproof and fire-resistant composite strip.
[0019] As a further improvement of this utility model, the shielding layer is woven from tin-copper alloy wire.
[0020] As a further improvement of this utility model, the isolation layer is a semi-conductive cloth tape.
[0021] As a further improvement of this utility model, the sheath is made of silicone rubber.
[0022] As a further improvement of this utility model, hot melt adhesive is coated between the wires and honeycomb graphite balls are bonded together.
[0023] This structure, which eliminates the need for internal filler, contributes to the overall weight reduction of the cable. However, because the internal gas of the cable easily expands when heated, it can easily cause the cable to crack under high-temperature environments. Using honeycomb graphite spheres increases the surface area for gas adsorption, which helps regulate the internal gas pressure balance under high temperatures. Graphite spheres also possess excellent high-temperature resistance. With a melting point as high as 3850±50℃, graphite exhibits minimal weight loss even under ultra-high-temperature arc burning, and its coefficient of thermal expansion is also very low. Placed between the conductors, it helps to clamp the conductors, stabilizing the relative positions of the multiple conductors inside the cable. Its good thermal conductivity also helps to disperse heat. Attached Figure Description

[0029] Example 1
[0030] like Figures 1-2 As shown, a fireproof and explosion-proof cable includes:
[0031] Conductor 1;
[0032] Insulating layer 2, which covers the surface of conductor 1;
[0033] A semi-conductive shielding layer 3 is applied to the surface of the insulating layer 2;
[0034] The inner fireproof layer 4 covers the surface of the semi-conductive shielding layer 3, and together with the conductor 1, the insulating layer 2 and the semi-conductive shielding layer 3, it forms a wire.
[0035] The composite external fireproof layer 5 covers the outside of multiple conductors and has a sandwich structure. The two surface layers 501 are fiber cloth impregnated with high-temperature heat-insulating and flame-retardant coatings, and the core layer 502 is a ceramicized fireproof and fire-resistant composite strip.
[0036] The shielding layer 6 covers the composite outer fireproof layer 5;
[0037] The isolation layer 7 covers the shielding layer 6;
[0038] Sheath 8, which covers the isolation layer 7.
[0039] With this structure, even though the ceramicized fireproof and fire-resistant composite strip in the composite outer fireproof layer 5 has increased brittleness after ceramicization, it is covered by fiber cloth with high-temperature heat insulation and flame retardant coating on both sides. It only breaks inside the fiber cloth, while the fiber cloth on both sides still forms an integral whole with the composite strip, which can achieve the effect of breaking without leaking, and still effectively form a fireproof isolation strip.
[0040] In this embodiment, the conductor 1 is made of stranded tin-copper alloy wire.
[0041] In this embodiment, the insulating layer 2 is formed by extrusion molding of fluoroplastic.
[0042] In this embodiment, the semiconductive shielding layer 3 uses fluoroplastic as the substrate and carbon black as a conductive filler, which is then extruded.
[0043] In this embodiment, the inner fireproof layer 4 is a ceramicized fireproof and fire-resistant composite strip.

[0046] In this embodiment, the sheath 8 is made of silicone rubber.
[0047] In this embodiment, hot melt adhesive 9 is applied between the wires and honeycomb graphite balls 10 are bonded together.
[0048] This structure, which eliminates the need for internal filler, contributes to the overall weight reduction of the cable. However, because the internal gas of the cable easily expands when heated, it can easily cause the cable to crack under high-temperature environments. Using honeycomb graphite spheres increases the surface area for gas adsorption, which helps regulate the internal gas pressure balance under high temperatures. Graphite spheres also possess excellent high-temperature resistance. With a melting point as high as 3850±50℃, graphite exhibits minimal weight loss even under ultra-high-temperature arc burning, and its coefficient of thermal expansion is also very low. Placed between the conductors, it helps to clamp the conductors, stabilizing the relative positions of the multiple conductors inside the cable. Its good thermal conductivity also helps to disperse heat.
[0049] The preparation method of this embodiment includes:
[0050] 1) Twisting tin-copper alloy wires together yields conductor 1, a tin-copper alloy composite stranded wire;
[0051] 2) Extruding fluoroplastic onto the outside of the conductor 1 obtained in step 1) as an insulating layer 2;
[0052] 3) Extruding semi-conductive fluoroplastic onto the surface of the insulating layer 2 as a semi-conductive shielding layer 3;
[0053] 4) A ceramicized fireproof and fire-resistant composite tape is wrapped around the outside of the insulating shielding layer 3 as an inner fireproof layer 4;
[0054] 5) A composite outer fireproof layer is formed by sequentially wrapping a fiber cloth impregnated with high-temperature heat-insulating and flame-retardant coating, a ceramicized fireproof and fire-resistant composite tape, and another fiber cloth impregnated with high-temperature heat-insulating and flame-retardant coating around the outer surface of the inner fireproof layer 4.
[0055] 6) A tin-copper alloy wire is woven as a shielding layer outside the composite fireproof layer;
[0056] 7) Wrap a semi-conductive cloth tape around the shielding layer 6 as an isolation layer 7;
[0057] 8) Extrude silicone rubber as a sheath 8 onto the outer layer 7.
[0058] Before step 5), hot melt adhesive is applied to the outer surface of the three wires and honeycomb graphite balls are bonded together.

The relevant test conditions and performance indicators far exceed those of the British BS6387 and the domestic GB / T19666 fire resistance standards.
[0061] 2. Explosion-proof: This cable can maintain extremely high insulation resistance (above 1000MΩ.km) and withstand voltage (AC2500V, 1min without breakdown) in both flame and normal temperature environments. All materials involved have excellent heat resistance. The cable has low capacitance and anti-static properties, and meets the explosion-proof requirements of IEC60079 and GB3836.
