Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable technology, and more specifically, to a bendable and break-resistant composite cable. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of modern technology, cables are being used more and more widely in various fields, and the requirements for cable performance are also increasing. In many practical application scenarios, such as the internal wiring of intelligent robots, the connection cables of wearable electronic devices, and the wiring of some industrial equipment that needs to move and bend frequently, cables must not only have good conductivity, but also excellent flexibility and anti-breakage ability.
[0003] Patent CN110580978A discloses a composite cable, including an outer sheath containing a cable cavity. Cable cores are housed within the cable cavity, and one or more sealing rings are movably mounted on the outside of each core. Each sealing ring has a core hole in its center, through which the cable core passes. The outer wall of the sealing ring is in sealing contact with the inner wall of the cable cavity. Each sealing ring has one or more protruding parts fixedly disposed on one side. These protruding parts expand upon drawing in external air and push a sealing ring on one side to seal any damage to the outer sheath. This composite cable can quickly draw in air after damage to achieve automatic sealing. The different cable cores do not interfere with each other; any damage can be sealed at the corresponding location using a sealing ring, achieving self-repair.
[0004] Although this technical solution can achieve self-repair by sealing the corresponding location with a sealing ring when a damage occurs, traditional composite cables still have certain limitations in terms of flexibility. Traditional composite cables lack a stable bending and breakage-resistant structure inside. When the cable is frequently bent, the internal conductors are prone to metal fatigue due to repeated stress, leading to conductor breakage and affecting the normal use of the cable. For example, in some industrial automated production lines that require long-term and frequent bending, the service life of traditional cables is often short and they need to be replaced frequently. This not only increases maintenance costs but also affects production efficiency due to downtime for maintenance.
[0005] Meanwhile, the existing cables also need improvement in their fracture resistance. When subjected to significant external forces or accidental impacts, the cable's insulation layer and internal conductors are easily damaged, leading to short circuits or open circuits and causing safety accidents. For example, at construction sites, cables may be damaged by being crushed by heavy objects or pulled by construction machinery, causing numerous inconveniences and safety hazards to construction. Therefore, developing a composite cable with strong flexibility and excellent fracture resistance is of significant practical importance. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a flexible and break-resistant composite cable to address the deficiencies mentioned in the background art.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0008] A flexible, break-resistant composite cable includes a cable core composed of multiple stranded conductors. An insulation layer is provided on the outside of the cable core. Multiple break-resistant filaments arranged in a ring at equal intervals are disposed within the insulation layer, with the break-resistant filaments extending along the length of the cable. A shielding layer is disposed outside the insulation layer, a buffer layer is disposed outside the shielding layer, a reinforcing layer is disposed outside the buffer layer, and an outer sheath is disposed outside the reinforcing layer.

[0009] Preferably, the conductor is made of multiple strands of metal wire twisted together, and the outer diameter of the metal wire is between 0.05 mm and 0.1 mm.
[0010] Preferably, a base material filling layer is provided between the cable core and the insulation layer, and the base material filling layer wraps around the outside of the conductor;

[0014] Preferably, the thickness of the outer sheath is between 1.5mm and 2.5mm, and an outer wear-resistant layer is provided on the outer surface of the outer sheath.
[0015] Preferably, the spiral rubber support is a spiral rubber rod structure, and the outer diameter of the spiral rubber support is between 1mm and 2mm.
[0016] Preferably, the anti-fracture filament is a carbon fiber columnar structure, and the outer diameter of the anti-fracture filament is between 0.01 mm and 0.03 mm.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0018] 1. This utility model, by setting a conductor made of multiple strands of fine metal wires twisted together, and combining it with a spiral rubber support in the center of the cable core, effectively disperses the stress during the bending process of the cable. This makes the internal conductor less prone to breakage due to metal fatigue when the cable is frequently bent, achieving excellent bendability and meeting the needs of intelligent robots, industrial equipment and other applications that require frequent bending of cables.
[0019] 2. This utility model, by setting carbon fiber anti-breakage filaments arranged in a ring at equal intervals in the insulation layer, combined with a reinforcing layer woven from aramid fibers, achieves the effect that when the cable is subjected to external force pulling or impact, the high-strength material bears most of the external force, protecting the internal conductors and insulation layer from damage, thus significantly enhancing the cable's anti-breakage performance and reducing the risk of short circuits and open circuits.
[0020] 3.

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0028] Please see Figures 1-3This utility model provides a technical solution: a bendable and breakable composite cable, including a cable core 1, which is formed by stranding multiple conductors 10. An insulation layer 12 is provided on the outside of the cable core 1. Multiple breakable filaments 121 arranged in a ring at equal intervals are disposed within the insulation layer 12, and the breakable filaments 121 are arranged along the length of the cable. A shielding layer 13 is disposed outside the insulation layer 12, a buffer layer 14 is disposed outside the shielding layer 13, a reinforcing layer 15 is disposed outside the buffer layer 14, and an outer sheath is disposed outside the reinforcing layer 15. 16. A spiral rubber support 2 is provided at the center of the cable core 1, which provides stable auxiliary support for the cable during bending, effectively reducing the stress on the conductor 10 inside the cable core 1, and improving the cable's flexibility and resistance to bending fatigue. The spiral rubber support 2 is a spiral rubber rod structure with an outer diameter between 1mm and 2mm. When the cable is bent, the spiral rubber support 2 can play an auxiliary support role, making the bending of the cable smoother, while reducing the stress on the conductor inside the cable core.
[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the conductor 10 is made of multiple strands of metal wire 101 twisted together. The outer diameter of the metal wire 101 is between 0.05mm and 0.1mm, which enables the conductor to have good conductivity and can also disperse stress through the sliding between the metal wires when frequently bent, thus preventing breakage due to metal fatigue.
[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, a base material filling layer 11 is provided between the cable core 1 and the insulation layer 12. The base material filling layer 11 wraps around the outside of the conductor 10, so that the cable core 1 is filled and protected. This not only enhances the insulation performance of the cable, but also effectively resists external pressure and plays a role in pressure resistance and support.
[0031] In this embodiment, the thickness of the insulation layer 12 is between 0.5mm and 1mm. The insulation layer 12 can be made of silicone material with high flexibility and good insulation performance, which can effectively prevent leakage of the cable core and also play a buffering role when the cable is bent, reducing friction between conductors. The shielding layer 13 is a metal braided mesh structure with a braiding density of 80% to 90%, which enables the cable to effectively prevent leakage and shield external electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable transmission of internal signals.
[0032] Specifically, the thickness of the buffer layer 14 is between 1mm and 2mm. The buffer layer 14 can be made of polyurethane foam material, which can absorb and disperse energy when the cable is subjected to external impact or bending, protecting the internal structure from damage. The reinforcing layer 15 is an aramid fiber braided mesh structure. The reinforcing layer 15 can be made of aramid fiber. Aramid fiber has the characteristics of high strength and high modulus, which can significantly improve the tensile strength and bending fatigue resistance of the cable, preventing the cable from breaking under stress. When the cable is subjected to external impact, the buffer layer 14 can absorb and disperse energy, while the reinforcing layer 15 provides high-strength support, jointly protecting the internal structure of the cable from damage.
[0033] Furthermore, the thickness of the outer sheath 16 is between 1.5mm and 2.5mm. The outer sheath 16 can be made of thermoplastic elastomer material with wear resistance and weather resistance, which can effectively protect the internal structure of the cable from external environmental erosion and mechanical damage. An outer wear-resistant layer 161 is provided on the outer surface of the outer sheath 16, which gives the cable good wear resistance and weather resistance, effectively resists external environmental erosion and mechanical damage, and extends the service life of the cable.
[0034] In addition, the anti-breakage filament 121 has a carbon fiber columnar structure with an outer diameter between 0.01mm and 0.03mm. When the cable is subjected to external force, these high-strength anti-breakage filaments 121 can bear part of the tensile force, significantly improving the cable's anti-breakage capability.
[0035] When the flexible and breakable composite cable of this utility model is used and connected to the equipment, the conductor 10 in the cable core 1 is made of multiple strands of metal wire 101 twisted together, which can ensure good conductivity and provide a stable path for current transmission after electrical connection with the equipment. The base material filling layer 11 fills and protects the cable core 1, enhancing insulation and compressive strength. The insulation layer 12 wraps the cable core 1, and the breakable filaments 121 inside are arranged in a ring at equal intervals. When the cable is stretched, the breakable filaments 121 bear the tension and prevent the cable from breaking. At the same time, the insulation layer 12 also prevents the cable core 1 from leaking current.
[0036] During signal transmission, the metal braided mesh structure of the shielding layer 13 effectively shields external electromagnetic interference and ensures signal stability. When the cable is subjected to external impact or bending, the buffer layer 14 absorbs and disperses energy, and the aramid fiber braided mesh of the reinforcing layer 15 provides high-strength support. The two work together to protect the internal structure. The spiral rubber support 2 is located at the center of the cable core 1 and provides auxiliary support when the cable is bent, reducing the stress on the conductor 10 and ensuring smooth bending. The outer sheath 16 and its outer wear-resistant layer 161 can resist external environmental erosion and mechanical damage, ensuring long-term stable use of the cable.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model.
