[0029] To make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model clearer, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0030] like Figures 1-3 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a flat, flexible elevator control cable suitable for high-rise buildings, including a power cable core 100 for transmitting electrical energy and a control cable core 200 for transmitting signals. The power cable core 100 includes first cores 110, and several first cores 110 are twisted together. A first non-hygroscopic wrapping tape 130 is wrapped around the twisted first cores 110. A first filler material 120 is filled in the area wrapped by the first non-hygroscopic wrapping tape 130, and the first filler material 120 fills the gaps formed by the first cores 110.

[0031] The control cable core 200 includes second cores 210, a plurality of second cores 210 being twisted together. A second non-hygroscopic wrapping tape 230 is wrapped around the twisted second cores 210. A second filler material 220 is filled in the area wrapped by the second non-hygroscopic wrapping tape 230, filling the gaps formed by the second cores 210. A shielding layer 240 and a third non-hygroscopic wrapping tape 250 are sequentially disposed outside the second non-hygroscopic wrapping tape 230.

[0032] The aforementioned first core 110 and second core 210 have the same structure, both including a conductor 111, which is formed by twisting multiple soft copper wires together. A reinforcing element 112 is also provided between the multiple soft copper wires, and the multiple soft copper wires are twisted around the reinforcing element 112. An insulating layer 113 is also extruded over the conductor 111 formed by the multiple soft copper wires.

[0033] The aforementioned power cable core 100 and control cable core 200 are arranged horizontally alternately and at intervals, and an outer protective layer 300 is wrapped around the power cable core 100 and control cable core 200 to protect the power cable core 100 and control cable core 200.

[0034] The reinforcing element 112 is a linear structure made of nylon fiber yarn, and multiple soft copper wires are twisted together around the reinforcing element 112 to form a conductor 111.

[0035] In this application, the soft copper wire is a type 6 annealed copper wire. Multiple soft copper wires are twisted together in a predetermined direction and at a predetermined pitch to form a conductor 111. The predetermined direction is either S-axis or Z-axis, and the predetermined pitch is 12-14 times the diameter of the conductor 111. The maximum diameter of the type 6 annealed copper wire is 0.21 mm. The smaller the wire diameter, the more flexible the conductor 111. Combined with a reinforcing element 112 made of nylon fiber yarn, the first core 110 and the second core 210 possess good tensile strength, tensile strength, and excellent mechanical and impact resistance, exhibiting high strength.

[0036] The first core 110 and the second core 210 are also twisted together in another preset direction and with a preset pitch to form the power cable core 100 and the control cable core 200. The preset direction of the first core 110 and the second core 210 is the same as the preset direction of the conductor 111, and the preset twisting pitch of the first core 110 and the second core 210 is 12-14 times the diameter of the power cable core 100 or the control cable core 200.

[0037] The first filler material 120 and the second filler material 220 are made of the same material, namely nylon fiber, polypropylene PP rope or high flame retardant rope.

[0038] The first non-hygroscopic wrapping tape 130, the second non-hygroscopic wrapping tape 230, and the third non-hygroscopic wrapping tape 250 are flame-retardant wrapping tapes or fiberglass cloth tapes. When wrapping, the overlap rate of the first non-hygroscopic wrapping tape 130, the second non-hygroscopic wrapping tape 230, and the third non-hygroscopic wrapping tape 250 is not less than 15%, that is, when each layer of wrapping tape is wrapped, the width of the previous layer of wrapping tape is at least 15% of the width of the wrapping tape. The first non-hygroscopic wrapping tape 130 serves to prevent the first core 110 from loosening during pre-twisting and to tighten the core 100, thus ensuring its stability. The second non-hygroscopic wrapping tape 230 is a dense polyester tape. Its function is not only to tighten the second core 210 during pre-twisting and to ensure its stability, but also to isolate the shielding layer 240 and the second core 210, preventing the soft copper wire joints in the shielding layer 240 from piercing the insulation layer 113 and forming a spark breakdown point, thereby reducing the insulation breakdown rate. The third non-hygroscopic wrapping tape 250 isolates the outer protective layer 300 and the shielding layer 240, preventing the soft copper wire joints in the shielding layer 240 from piercing the outer protective layer 300 and forming a spark breakdown point when the outer protective layer 300 is extruded.

[0039] Preferably, the first non-hygroscopic wrapping tape 130 and the third non-hygroscopic wrapping tape 250 can be PP tape or glass ribbon.

[0040] The shielding layer 240 is a metal shielding layer, which is made of soft copper wires with a diameter of 0.15mm-0.20mm crisscrossed and woven with a weaving density of 85%.

[0041] The insulating layer 113 is formed by extruding polyvinyl chloride nitrile elastomer onto the conductor 111.

[0042] The outer protective layer 300 is extruded from polyvinyl chloride butadiene silicone elastomer and is applied to the outside of the power cable core 100 and the control cable core 200.

[0043] In this application, there are 3-5 power cable cores 100, and the number of control cable cores 200 is set according to the logarithm of the control signals. In this embodiment, there are 2 sets of control cable cores 200.

[0044] The flat, flexible elevator control cable for high-rise buildings provided in this application uses nylon fiber yarn and soft copper wire in the first core 110 and the second core 210, which have good conductivity and flexibility, and can provide stable current. In addition, the insulation layer 113 and the outer protective layer 300 are made of polymer materials (polyvinyl chloride butadiene nitrile elastomer, polyvinyl chloride butadiene silicone elastomer), which have good insulation, flexibility and oil resistance, and can maintain the stability of the cable in complex environments. Compared with traditional round cables, this application has a smaller bending radius, lighter weight and higher torsional strength, making it suitable for use in elevators, especially for flexible wiring in confined spaces, improving the installation efficiency and maintenance convenience of elevator systems.

[0045] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
