[0002] With the rapid development of modern society, as an indispensable energy, power is more and more widely used in industrial production, infrastructure construction, residential areas and other fields. As the key carrier of power transmission, the performance of power cable is directly related to the reliability and safety of power supply. Due to the limitations of design and material, traditional power cable has many shortcomings, for example: when laid underground, the cable needs to bear the weight of the soil and buildings above, and the ordinary cable is easy to be damaged due to long-term stress, causing short circuit or open circuit failure. When exposed to open fire or high temperature, the insulation and sheath material is easy to burn, not only aggravating the fire hazard, but also releasing a large amount of toxic and harmful gases, threatening the safety of personnel. In a humid environment, water will enter the inside of the cable, causing the conductor to corrode, reducing the insulation performance, and causing faults such as leakage and short circuit. It is difficult to meet the strict requirements of mechanical strength, flame retardant, fireproof, waterproof and other aspects in complex environment. SUMMARY
[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a safe and stable high mechanical strength fire -retardant fire -retardant waterproof power cable.
[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical scheme: a high mechanical strength fire -retardant fire -retardant waterproof power cable, comprising a cable, the cable is provided with conductor layer, insulation layer, fireproof layer, shielding layer, waterproof layer and outer sheath layer from inside to outside, the conductor layer is composed of main conductor and a plurality of auxiliary conductors arranged around the main conductor, the fireproof layer separates the main conductor and each auxiliary conductor, and the elastic support rod is formed between the adjacent auxiliary conductors, and a plurality of heat dissipation channels are further arranged in the fireproof layer.
[0005] The utility model is further provided: the reinforcing layer is twisted by a plurality of aramid fiber filaments and a plurality of high-strength steel wire bundles between the insulation layer and the fireproof layer.
[0006] The utility model is further provided: the waterproof layer comprises closely arranged triangular flexible support columns and water blocking powder filled in the gap between the two reinforcing columns, which forms a gel-like substance after encountering water, and can vertically block water penetration.
[0007] The utility model is further provided: the shielding layer adopts an inner and outer double-layer shielding structure, the inner layer adopts an aluminum plastic tape for suppressing low-frequency interference, and the outer layer adopts a copper braid layer for absorbing high-frequency radiation.
[0008] The utility model further sets up: the outer protective layer adopts the composite material containing graphene and is made, the outer protective layer surface is equipped with the recess along the length direction distribution, the recess is inlayed with the silica gel wear -resisting strip of adaptation.
[0009] The utility model further sets up: still be equipped with the armor layer and honeycomb layer in the outer protective layer, the armor layer adopts the double -deck steel band gap and surrounds the package, the honeycomb layer adopts the elastic rubber material.
[0010] The utility model further sets up: the fireproof layer adopts the fire -retardant silicone rubber and is made.
[0011] The utility model has the advantages of:
[0012] 1. The fireproof layer separates the main conductor and each auxiliary conductor, effectively prevents the spread of fire and heat between the conductors, prevents the spread of fire through the conductor in case of fire, greatly reduces the risk of fire expansion. The elastic support rod is formed between the adjacent auxiliary conductors, and when the cable is extruded or stretched externally, the elastic support rod can uniformly disperse stress, effectively reduce the risk of excessive local stress, and greatly improve the extrusion and stretching resistance of the cable. The cable can still maintain a stable physical structure in long-distance underground laying, pipe laying or frequent vibration industrial environment, reduce internal structure damage caused by external force, greatly prolong the service life of the cable. The fireproof layer is provided with a plurality of heat dissipation channels, which greatly improves the heat dissipation condition of the cable. In the process of cable operation, the heat generated by the conductor can be quickly dissipated through the heat dissipation channel, avoiding the accumulation of heat and causing the temperature of the cable to be too high, thereby affecting the performance and service life of the cable. This not only helps to improve the current-carrying capacity of the cable, but also reduces the safety risk caused by overheating, ensuring the stable operation of the cable under various working conditions.
[0013] 2. The reinforcing layer is twisted from a plurality of aramid fiber filaments and a plurality of high-strength steel wire bundles. The aramid fiber filaments have ultra-high strength-to-weight ratio, several times higher than that of steel wire, and excellent wear resistance and chemical corrosion resistance. The high-strength steel wire bundle has extremely high tensile strength. The reinforcing layer formed by twisting the two has greatly enhanced the overall tensile strength of the cable. When the cable encounters tension during installation or external pulling force during use, the reinforcing layer can bear the main tensile load, effectively preventing the internal structure from being damaged due to excessive stretching, maintaining the normal performance of the cable, and reducing the risk of failure caused by stretching. The triangular flexible support columns not only play a waterproof role, but also provide additional mechanical support for the cable. The closely arranged support columns form a stable skeletal structure inside the cable, enhancing the cable's resistance to compression and deformation. When the cable is subjected to external pressure, bending or vibration, the support columns can disperse stress and protect the key components such as the insulation layer and conductor inside the cable from damage, ensuring that the cable can still work normally in harsh mechanical environments. The water-blocking powder forms a gel when it comes into contact with water, giving the waterproof layer self-adaptive waterproofing ability. When the cable is damaged locally during installation or use, the water-blocking powder contacts the infiltrating water and quickly forms a gel to seal the damaged area, preventing further water intrusion, thereby extending the service life of the cable and reducing maintenance costs.
[0014] 3. The double-layer shielding structure has strong anti-interference ability. The inner aluminum-plastic tape can efficiently suppress low-frequency interference and effectively block low-frequency signal intrusion, ensuring stable operation of the equipment in complex electromagnetic environments. The outer copper braid layer exhibits excellent absorption capacity for high-frequency radiation, further enhancing the shielding effect and protecting the equipment from high-frequency radiation, ensuring the accuracy and stability of data transmission and greatly reducing the risk of signal loss or error. The outer protective layer is made of a composite material containing graphene, which has excellent strength and toughness, greatly enhancing the wear resistance, corrosion resistance and aging resistance of the outer protective layer. The grooves distributed along the length direction on the surface of the outer protective layer are embedded with matching silica gel wear-resistant strips. The silica gel has good elasticity and wear resistance. During product use, when the outer protective layer rubs against other objects, the silica gel wear-resistant strip can act as a buffer layer to reduce direct wear of the outer protective layer, while also enhancing the friction between the outer protective layer and the contacting object to prevent the product from slipping during use and improve safety.
[0015] 4. The armor layer inside the outer protective layer is wrapped around by double-layer steel belts with gaps, the steel belts have high strength and rigidity, and can provide reliable mechanical protection for the product, in the face of external extrusion, collision and the like, the armor layer can effectively disperse stress, prevent the internal structure from being damaged, and is especially suitable for use in complex environments or occasions with high mechanical external force. The honeycomb layer is made of elastic rubber material, has excellent buffering and shock-absorbing performance, when the product is subjected to vibration or impact force, the elastic rubber honeycomb layer can absorb energy, reduce vibration transmission to the inside, protect the shielding layer, the line and other key components in the inside, prolong the service life of the product, and improve the reliability thereof. The fireproof layer is made of flame-retardant silicone rubber, the flame-retardant silicone rubber has good flame-retardant properties, and can effectively prevent fire spreading and reduce fire risk when encountering fire and the like.

A plurality of heat dissipation channels 5 are further arranged in the fireproof layer 8, which greatly improves the heat dissipation condition of the cable 1; in the operation process of the cable 1, the heat generated by the conductors can be quickly dissipated through the heat dissipation channels 5, so that the temperature of the cable 1 is prevented from being too high due to heat accumulation, and the performance and service life of the cable 1 are further affected, which not only helps to improve the current-carrying capacity of the cable 1, but also reduces the safety risk caused by overheating, and ensures the stable operation of the cable 1 under various working conditions.
[0023] A reinforcing layer 6 is further arranged between the insulation layer 7 and the fireproof layer 8, and the reinforcing layer 6 is twisted by a plurality of aramid fiber filaments and a plurality of high-strength steel wire bundles; the aramid fiber filaments have an ultrahigh strength-to-weight ratio, the tensile strength of the aramid fiber filaments is several times higher than that of steel wires, and the aramid fiber filaments have excellent wear resistance and chemical corrosion resistance; the high-strength steel wire bundle has extremely high tensile strength; and the reinforcing layer 6 twisted by the aramid fiber filaments and the high-strength steel wire bundle greatly enhances the overall tensile strength of the cable 1.

[0024] The waterproof layer 18 includes closely arranged triangular flexible support columns 12 and water-blocking powder 13 filled in the gap between two reinforcing columns. The triangular flexible support columns 12 not only play a waterproof role, but also provide additional mechanical support for the cable 1. The closely arranged support columns 12 form a stable framework structure inside the cable 1, enhancing the compression resistance and deformation resistance of the cable 1. When the cable 1 is subjected to external compression, bending or vibration, the support columns 12 can disperse stress and protect the key components such as the insulating layer 7 and the conductor inside the cable 1 from damage, ensuring that the cable 1 can still work normally in a harsh mechanical environment.
