[0030] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-4 The present invention will be described in further detail, but this is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the flame-retardant network cable includes an outer protective body 1, an outer flame-retardant coating 2, an inner support body 3, a wire harness 4, and an intumescent flame-retardant inner layer 5. The flame-retardant coating 2 is connected to the outer surface of the outer protective body 1. The outer protective body 1 has an inner mounting cavity. The inner support body 3 is connected to the interior of the inner mounting cavity. The inner support body 3 has an inner mounting groove 31. The wire harness 4 is connected to the interior of the mounting groove 31. The intumescent flame-retardant inner layer 5 is connected to the inner wall of the outer protective body 1, between the wire harness 4 and the inner support body 3. The wire harness 4 is made of high-quality annealed and tin-plated copper wire, and the outer surface of the copper wire is covered with rubber material. Further, the wire harness 4 can be a short-distance network cable of 0.5m, 1m, 5m, 10m, 20m, etc.

[0032] The technical solution of this utility model achieves dual external protection for the wire harness by using the outermost flame-retardant coating and the inner expansion flame-retardant layer, thereby further improving the flame-retardant performance of the network cable and ensuring the safety and stability of use, preventing the equipment from failing to perform its intended functions. In addition, the inner support body supports the wire harness and the outer protective body provides limiting protection, thereby achieving the assembly stability of the wire harness, ensuring the safety and stability of use, and ensuring the stability of signal transmission.

[0033] Specifically, in some embodiments, the outer flame-retardant coating 2 is selected from water-based polyurethane flame-retardant coatings or silicate flame-retardant coatings. This structure achieves the first line of flame-retardant protection for the outermost layer of the flame-retardant mesh cable through water-based polyurethane flame-retardant coatings or silicate flame-retardant coatings, thereby improving the flame-retardant performance of the flame-retardant mesh cable and extending its service life.

[0034] Specifically, in some implementations, such as Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the outer protective body 1 includes a shielding layer 13, a heat insulation layer 12, and a support layer 11 stacked sequentially from the inside out; an outer flame-retardant coating 2 is connected to the outer surface of the support layer 11; an inner support 3 abuts against the inner wall of the shielding layer 13; and the wire harness 4 abuts against the inner wall of the shielding layer 13. In some embodiments, the heat insulation layer 12 is made of fiberglass cloth or asbestos fiber; the shielding layer 13 is made of tin-plated round copper wire braid or aluminum foil Mylar; and the support layer 11 is made of polyvinyl chloride or thermoplastic polyurethane elastic material. This structure uses tin-plated round copper wire braid or aluminum foil Mylar to prevent signal transmission loss and interference of the wire harness 4; uses fiberglass cloth or asbestos fiber to prevent signal transmission interference caused by excessively high external temperatures; and uses polyvinyl chloride or thermoplastic polyurethane elastic material to ensure the stability of the wire harness 4 in use, thereby improving the transmission stability, stability, and safety of the network cable.

[0035] Specifically, in some embodiments, the intumescent flame-retardant inner layer 5 is made of epoxy resin or calcium carbonate. This structure allows the calcium carbonate material to release carbon dioxide when heated, diluting the oxygen concentration and preventing combustion; simultaneously, the carbon dioxide gas also contributes to volume expansion, and the calcium carbonate promotes the formation of a char layer on the outer surface of the wire harness 4.

[0036] Specifically, in some implementations, such as Figure 1 and 3 As shown, the inner support 3 is provided with a buffer cavity 32; the number of buffer cavities 32 corresponds to the number of mounting slots 31; and the buffer cavities 32 are connected to the mounting slots 31. Wherein, as... Figure 3 As shown, the inner support 3 has at least one through hole 33; the two ends of the through hole 33 are connected to the buffer cavity 32 and the mounting groove 31, respectively. That is, when there are two wire harnesses 4, there are two mounting grooves 31 and two buffer cavities 32; thus, the through hole 33 guides the gas during the expansion of the flame-retardant inner layer 5 and enables the inner support 3 to deform in an orderly manner within the mounting groove 31, thereby protecting the wire harnesses 4 and preventing them from suffering excessive damage.

[0037] Specifically, in some implementations, such as Figure 1 ,3 As shown in Figure 4, the inner support 3 is made of polyethylene, which can be rolled up and has certain tensile strength and elongation. The inner support 3 includes a support base 301, a first limiting arc block 302, a second limiting arc block 303, a third limiting arc block 305, and a fourth limiting arc block 306. One end of the first limiting arc block 302 is connected to one side surface of the support base 301. The second limiting arc block 303 is arranged side-by-side with the first limiting arc block 302, and one end of the second limiting arc block 303 is connected to one side surface of the support base 301. The inner support 3 includes a support base block 301, a first limiting arc block 302, a second limiting arc block 303, a third limiting arc block 305, and a fourth limiting arc block 306. A mounting groove 31 is formed between the first limiting arc block 302 and the second limiting arc block 303; one end of the third limiting arc block 305 is connected to the other side surface of the support base block 301; the fourth limiting arc block 306 is arranged side by side with the third limiting arc block 305, and one end of the fourth limiting arc block 306 is connected to the other side surface of the support base block 301; and another mounting groove 31 is formed between the other side surface of the support base block 301, the third limiting arc block 305, and the fourth limiting arc block 306. That is to say, the support base block 301, the first limiting arc block 302, the second limiting arc block 303, the third limiting arc block 305, and the fourth limiting arc block 306 form an X-shaped structure to ensure the stability of the installation of different wire harnesses 4, thereby improving the stability of signal transmission. The number of through holes 33 is at least four, and they are respectively provided on the first limiting arc block 302, the second limiting arc block 303, the third limiting arc block 305 and the fourth limiting arc block 306; and the through holes 33 are provided between the wire harness body 4 and the outer protective body 1 so as to enable the gas generated by heating to be discharged quickly and to ensure the installation stability of the wire harness body 4.

[0038] Specifically, in some implementations, such as Figure 1 , 3 As shown in Figure 4, the inner support 3 also includes a first side arc block 307 and a second side arc block 308; the two ends of the first side arc block 307 are respectively connected to the other end of the first limiting arc block 302 and the other end of the third limiting arc block 305; the two ends of the second side arc block 308 are respectively connected to the other end of the second limiting arc block 303 and the other end of the fourth limiting arc block 306; and a buffer cavity 32 is formed between the first side arc block 307, the first limiting arc block 302 and the third limiting arc block 305 (and the support base block 301); another buffer cavity 32 is formed between the second side arc block 308, the second limiting arc block 303 and the fourth limiting arc block 306 (and the support base block 301); so as to achieve the stability of the overall structure of the inner support 3 and avoid phenomena such as easy collapse.

This narrative style of the specification is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.

[0040] Based on the disclosure and teachings of the above specification, those skilled in the art can make changes and modifications to the above embodiments. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above, and any obvious improvements, substitutions, or modifications made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.
