Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a novel Y-type seamless cross-linking structure for fusion-bonded polyethylene cables, belonging to the field of cross-linking structure technology. Background Technology
[0002] Cross-linked cable is short for cross-linked polyethylene insulated cable. Cross-linked cables are suitable for power transmission and distribution lines with AC voltage of kV and below. Most high-voltage cables use cross-linked polyethylene insulation; cross-linked cable generally refers to a cable whose insulation layer uses cross-linked materials.
[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. (CN 220856182 U) discloses an environmentally friendly flame-retardant cross-linked cable, comprising an environmentally friendly insulating protective sleeve body, an internal flame-retardant layer for the cable, and an internal hydrogenated nitrile rubber layer. This environmentally friendly flame-retardant cross-linked cable, through the inclusion of a flame-retardant mechanism, allows the user to fix the cable protective layer to the environmentally friendly insulating protective sleeve body by inserting it into the protective sleeve's insertion hole, and to fix the cable flame-retardant layer to the polyurethane layer by inserting it into the polyurethane layer's insertion hole. The user utilizes a flame-retardant filling layer, an ethylene propylene rubber layer, a chlorohydrin rubber layer, and a hydrogenated nitrile rubber layer within the flame-retardant layer. These layers, along with an oxygen-free copper core, cable insulation layer, and cable shielding layer, work in conjunction with these components, solving the problem of poor flame-retardant performance in existing medium-voltage cross-linked cables and realizing the flame-retardant function of this environmentally friendly flame-retardant cross-linked cable.
[0004] However, gaps can easily appear when cables are Y-connected, which reduces the service life of the cables during use.
[0005] To address this, a novel Y-type seamless cross-linking structure for fusion-bonded polyethylene cables is proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0006] In view of this, the present invention provides a novel Y-type seamless cross-linked structure for fusion-bonded polyethylene cables to solve or alleviate the technical problems existing in the prior art, and at least provides a beneficial alternative.
[0007] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows: A novel fusion-bonded polyethylene cable Y-type seamless cross-linked structure includes a connecting sleeve, a cable fixedly connected inside the connecting sleeve, a conductor inside the cable, and a protective layer on the outside of the conductor. The protective layer consists of a shielding layer, an insulation layer, an insulating shielding layer, a metal shielding layer, an outer sheath, and a filling layer. The inner side of the shielding layer is fixedly connected to the outer side of the conductor, the inner side of the insulation layer is fixedly connected to the outer side of the shielding layer, the inner side of the insulating shielding layer is fixedly connected to the outer side of the insulation layer, the inner side of the outer sheath is fixedly connected to the outer side of the metal shielding layer, and the inner side of the filling layer is fixedly connected to the outer side of the outer sheath.
[0008] More preferably, the shielding layer is made of a semi-conductive polymer, the insulating layer is made of cross-linked polyethylene, the insulating shielding layer is made of a semi-conductive tape, and the metal shielding layer is made of an aluminum-plastic composite tape.
[0009] More preferably, the outer sheath is made of halogen-free flame-retardant polyolefin, and the filler layer is made of polypropylene rope.
[0010] More preferably, the connecting sleeve is provided with a heat-shrinkable / cold-shrinkable cross-linked polyethylene sleeve inside, and the connecting sleeve is provided with a sheath and a shielding tube inside.
[0011] More preferably, the sheath is made of heat shrink tubing, injection-molded PE / PVC, or cold shrink tubing to restore waterproofing and mechanical protection, and the shielding tube is made of pre-formed shielding tube.
[0012] The present invention has the following advantages due to the adoption of the above technical solution:
[0013] I. This utility model utilizes a shielding layer to uniformly distribute the electric field on the conductor surface, preventing partial discharge. An insulation layer provides high temperature resistance (90°C~130°C), high dielectric strength, and resistance to environmental stress cracking. An insulating shielding layer, tightly bonded to the insulation layer, ensures uniform electric field distribution, reducing the risk of partial discharge at the insulation interface. A metal shielding layer provides a short-circuit current conduction path, electromagnetic shielding, reduced external interference, and mechanical protection. An outer sheath provides waterproofing, chemical corrosion resistance, UV protection, mechanical protection, and resistance to wear during laying or operation. A filling layer fills the gaps in multi-core cables, maintaining structural integrity and preventing longitudinal water seepage. A peroxide crosslinking agent is added during the extrusion of the polyethylene insulation layer, and high temperature (such as a three-layer co-extrusion process) causes the polyethylene molecular chains to crosslink into a three-dimensional network structure. The insulation layer is continuously formed in the production line without segmented seams.
[0014] II. This utility model uses an outer sheath to heat and melt XLPE material, allowing it to seamlessly fuse with the cable insulation layer. The connector sleeve with a pre-embedded heating wire is heated by electricity and then fused with the insulation layer. The sheath restores waterproof and mechanical protection, and the shielding tube ensures the continuity of the electric field.

The protective layer 4 consists of a shielding layer 401, an insulation layer 402, an insulating shielding layer 403, a metal shielding layer 404, an outer sheath 405, and a filling layer 406.

[0025] The shielding layer 401 creates a uniform electric field on the conductor surface, preventing partial discharge. The insulation layer 402 is heat-resistant (90°C~130°C), has high dielectric strength, and resists environmental stress cracking. The insulating shielding layer 403 is tightly bonded to the insulation layer 402, creating a uniform electric field distribution and reducing the risk of partial discharge at the insulation interface. The metal shielding layer 404 provides a short-circuit current conduction path, electromagnetic shielding, reduces external interference, and offers mechanical protection. The outer sheath 405 is waterproof, chemically resistant, UV-resistant, and provides mechanical protection, resisting wear during laying or operation. The filling layer 406 fills the gaps in the multi-core cable, maintaining a rounded structure and preventing longitudinal water seepage. Peroxide crosslinking agents are added during the extrusion of the polyethylene insulation layer 402, and the polyethylene molecular chains are crosslinked into a three-dimensional network structure through a high-temperature process such as a three-layer co-extrusion process. The insulation layer 402 is continuously formed in the production line without segmented seams.

The shielding tube 8 is made of pre-formed shielding tube 8.
[0027] The outer sheath 405 heats and melts the XLPE material, allowing it to seamlessly fuse with the cable 2 insulation layer 402. Using the pre-embedded heating wire connector sleeve, it is heated by electricity and fused with the insulation layer 402. The sheath 7 restores waterproof and mechanical protection, and the shielding tube 8 ensures the continuity of the electric field.

The shielding layer 401 creates a uniform electric field on the conductor surface, preventing partial discharge. The insulation layer 402 is heat-resistant (90°C~130°C), has high dielectric strength, and resists environmental stress cracking. The insulating shielding layer 403, tightly bonded to the insulation layer 402, provides a uniform electric field distribution, reducing the risk of partial discharge at the insulation interface. The metal shielding layer 404 provides a short-circuit current conduction path, electromagnetic shielding, reduces external interference, and mechanical protection. The outer sheath 405 provides waterproofing, chemical corrosion resistance, UV protection, mechanical protection, and resistance to wear during laying or operation. The filler layer 406 fills the gaps in the multi-core cable, maintains the structural integrity, and prevents longitudinal water seepage. During connection, a peroxide crosslinking agent is added when extruding the polyethylene insulation layer 402. Through a high-temperature process such as a three-layer co-extrusion process, the polyethylene molecular chains are crosslinked into a three-dimensional network structure.
