Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of new cable production technology, specifically relating to a new type of high-performance unarmored fire-resistant medium-voltage cable. Background Technology
[0002] In existing technologies, unarmored fire-resistant medium-voltage cables play a crucial role in power transmission, effectively ensuring the safety and reliability of circuits under extreme conditions such as fires. However, some shortcomings still exist in the unarmored fire-resistant medium-voltage cables currently on the market.
[0003] In existing technologies, unarmored fire-resistant medium-voltage cables typically employ a multi-layered structure, including a conductor, insulation layer, fire-resistant layer, and sheath. While these cables exhibit excellent fire resistance, their mechanical and bending properties are relatively poor. For example, traditional unarmored cables usually require a thick insulation layer to achieve fire resistance, resulting in a heavier cable and a larger bending radius, typically at least 20 times the cable diameter, which is detrimental to transportation and installation. Furthermore, the outer sheath is easily burned under fire conditions, and the inner fire-resistant layer may fail due to lack of protection when exposed to harsh environments such as water spray and vibration.
[0004] Furthermore, while existing unarmored fire-resistant medium-voltage cables can withstand a U0 voltage without breakdown during the entire test duration of 750–800°C, 120 minutes of fire supply, and 15 minutes of cooling, their fire resistance performance is no longer sufficient for more demanding applications.
[0005] Meanwhile, the fire-resistant layer of existing unarmored cables mostly uses mineral composite materials or intumescent insulation layers. Although these materials have certain fire resistance properties, in practical applications, due to their lack of mechanical strength and impact resistance, they are difficult to maintain safe power supply for a long time in dynamic environments.
[0006] Therefore, improvements are urgently needed to enhance the mechanical properties, fire resistance, and ease of construction of unarmored fire-resistant medium-voltage cables in order to meet the higher performance requirements of modern power systems. Utility Model Content
[0007] To address the technical problem that traditional unarmored fire-resistant medium-voltage cables in the prior art still have shortcomings in mechanical properties, fire resistance, and ease of construction, making it difficult to meet the performance requirements of modern power systems, this application proposes a new type of high-performance unarmored fire-resistant medium-voltage cable.
[0008] This application adopts the following scheme: a novel high-performance unarmored fire-resistant medium-voltage cable, comprising a conductor, a shielding layer group covering the outer periphery of the conductor, an inner isolation layer covering the outer periphery of the shielding layer group, a flame-retardant layer group covering the outer periphery of the inner isolation layer, and an outer sheath layer covering the outer periphery of the flame-retardant layer group. The flame-retardant layer group includes a first flame-retardant strip wrapped around the outer periphery of the inner isolation layer, an outer isolation layer covering the first flame-retardant strip, and a second flame-retardant strip covering the outer isolation layer.
[0009] In some feasible embodiments, the flame-retardant layer assembly further includes a mica tape extruded between the outer insulating layer and the second flame-retardant strip.
[0010] In some feasible embodiments, the inner insulating layer is made of any one of ceramicized silicone tape, ethylene propylene rubber, polytetrafluoroethylene, or polystyrene.
[0011] In some feasible embodiments, the materials of the first flame-retardant strip and the second flame-retardant strip are both selected from glass fiber, cross-linked polyethylene, and magnesium oxide.
[0012] In some feasible embodiments, the outer insulating layer is made of any one of ceramicized polyolefin, ceramicized silicone, or fireproof putty.
[0013] In some feasible embodiments, the shielding layer group includes a first shielding layer covering the outer periphery of the wire core, an insulating layer covering the outer periphery of the first shielding layer, a second shielding layer covering the outer periphery of the insulating layer, and a third shielding layer covering the outer periphery of the second shielding layer.
[0014] In some feasible embodiments, the material of the first shielding layer is selected from any one of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, ethylene-ethyl acrylate copolymer, and graphene;
[0015] The material of the second shielding layer is selected from either ethylene-butyl acrylate copolymer or conductive carbon black;
[0016] The material of the third shielding layer is selected from any one of copper foil, aluminum foil, tin-plated copper, and stainless steel.
[0017] In some feasible embodiments, the thickness of the first shielding layer is greater than the thickness of the second shielding layer, and the thickness of the second shielding layer is greater than the thickness of the third shielding layer.
[0018] In some feasible embodiments, both the insulating layer and the outer sheath are made of polyvinyl chloride or cross-linked polyethylene.
[0019] In some feasible embodiments, the core is formed by twisting one or more strands of a complex conductor structure, and the number of the complex conductor structures is defined as Z, wherein Z satisfies the following relationship: 1≤Z≤5.

The flame-retardant layer assembly consists of a first flame-retardant strip, an outer insulating layer, and a second flame-retardant strip, sequentially arranged. The first flame-retardant strip wraps around the outer periphery of the inner insulating layer, the outer insulating layer covers the first flame-retardant strip, and the second flame-retardant strip covers the outer insulating layer. Through the cooperation of the shielding layer assembly and the inner insulating layer, the cable's anti-interference capability is significantly improved, and its radial mechanical strength is enhanced. The flame-retardant layer assembly adopts a gradient structure with a double flame-retardant strip sandwiching the outer insulating layer, and the three components work together to construct a three-dimensional fire barrier. The outer sheath layer uses a flexible, UV-resistant material, possessing both excellent abrasion resistance and bending performance.
