Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable technology, and in particular to a cable designed to prevent breakage. Background Technology

[0002] ① In traditional technology, conventional cables mostly use a single conductor material with a simple insulation structure. While this design can meet basic conductivity requirements, it has significant shortcomings under complex operating conditions. The insulation layer often only has a single insulation function, lacking comprehensive protective properties such as water resistance and fire resistance, making the cable prone to insulation failure in humid or high-temperature environments. The shielding structure is mostly a single layer of metal braid, which cannot effectively meet the requirements of electromagnetic shielding and longitudinal water resistance. The outer protection generally uses a homogeneous sheath, which has limited impact resistance and abrasion resistance, making it easy to break under mechanical forces. These defects together result in the short service life and high failure rate of traditional cables, making it difficult to meet the increasingly demanding reliability requirements of modern industry.

[0003] ② To address the above problems, existing technologies employ a composite shielding structure on the outer layer of the conductor, combining copper wire braided mesh with water-blocking tape. This achieves both electromagnetic shielding and enhanced longitudinal water-blocking capability. The insulation layer utilizes a double-layer co-extrusion process, with an inner insulating layer and an outer water-blocking layer, improving upon the protective defects of traditional single-layer insulation. The outer sheath incorporates a corrugated structure design, enhancing compressive strength through geometric changes. These improvements effectively solve the problem of limited protective functions in traditional cables, significantly extending the cable's service life in humid environments.

[0004] ③ However, the existing technology has revealed new technical defects during implementation: the interfacial bonding strength between the copper mesh and the water-blocking tape in the composite shielding layer is insufficient, which easily leads to interlayer delamination when the cable is repeatedly bent, resulting in a decrease in water-blocking performance; although the corrugated sheath can resist pressure, the troughs become stress concentration areas, which are prone to fatigue cracking under long-term vibration conditions; the double-layer insulation structure increases the radial dimension of the cable, increasing the laying space requirements. These new problems stem from imperfect material interface treatment processes, failure to consider dynamic load adaptability in structural design, and volume expansion caused by functional superposition, ultimately limiting the application effect of this technology in space-constrained scenarios.

[0007] The conductor is a composite stranded structure of annealed copper wire and aluminum-magnesium alloy wire, and the conductor insulation layer is a three-layer co-extruded cross-linked polyethylene, with an inner layer of semi-conductive water-resistant layer and a middle layer of insulation layer.

[0008] The conductor shielding layer is a composite wrapping of copper wire braided mesh and semi-conductive resistive water tape, and the cable filling layer contains superabsorbent resin particles and ceramic flame-retardant powder.

[0009] The wrapping layer is an overlapping wrapping of non-woven fabric tape coated with flame-retardant adhesive on both sides, and the inner sheath is an extruded layer of nano-magnesium hydroxide modified flame-retardant polyolefin.

[0010] The waterproof layer is a longitudinally welded aluminum-plastic composite strip, with the overlap seams filled with hot melt sealant; the inner lining layer is an asphalt-impregnated high-grammage glass fiber strip; and the armor layer is a bidirectional woven structure of galvanized steel wire and aramid fiber.

[0011] The outer liner is a flame-retardant epoxy resin coating, and the corrugated buffer layer is made of thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer, which is in the form of equidistant trapezoidal waves with silicone microspheres embedded in the troughs.

[0012] The fire-retardant layer is a tightly wound ceramicized silicone rubber tape, and the outer sheath is made of polyurethane material with an interlocking grid anti-slip texture molded on its outer surface.

[0013] This utility model discloses a cable designed to prevent damage, achieving excellent comprehensive protection performance through an innovative multi-layer composite structure design.

Each functional layer forms a tightly integrated structure through specific connection methods. The conductor insulation layer tightly covers the conductor surface, the conductor shielding layer is evenly wrapped around the outside of the insulation layer, the cabling filler layer fully fills the gaps between the conductor cores, the wrapping layer fixes the cable cores as a whole, the inner sheath serves as a primary protective layer covering the wrapping layer, the waterproof layer forms a complete sealing barrier, the inner lining layer provides an installation base for the armor layer, the armor layer is fixed by the outer lining layer, the corrugated buffer layer absorbs external impacts through its special structure, the fire-retardant layer forms a high-temperature protective barrier, and the outermost sheath provides final protection. This layered protective structure enables the cable to maintain excellent conductivity while providing multiple protective functions such as water resistance, fire resistance, and impact resistance. The synergistic effect of each layer ensures the long-term reliable operation of the cable under complex working conditions. Through this structural design, the cable achieves effective isolation between the conductor system and the external environment, preventing the intrusion of external factors such as moisture and flames, and resisting damage from mechanical forces, ultimately achieving the technical effects of extending service life and improving operational stability.

[0020] This utility model provides a cable designed to prevent breakage. The conductor is constructed from a composite stranded structure of annealed copper wire and aluminum-magnesium alloy wire, ensuring both excellent conductivity and improved mechanical strength. A conductor insulation layer 102 is radially wrapped around the conductor. This insulation layer 102 is made of three layers of co-extruded cross-linked polyethylene material. The inner layer is a semi-conductive water-resistant layer, used to uniformly distribute the electric field on the conductor surface and prevent longitudinal water penetration. The middle layer is an insulation layer, providing the main electrical insulation performance. The outer layer is an adhesive layer, used to enhance the bonding force with the shielding layer. A conductor shielding layer 103 is radially wrapped around the conductor insulation layer 102. The conductor shielding layer 103 is composed of a copper wire braided mesh and a semi-conductive... The cable is constructed using a composite water-blocking tape. Copper wire braided mesh provides electromagnetic shielding and mechanical protection, while semi-conductive water-blocking tape further enhances its water-blocking performance. A cable filling layer 104 is radially outer of the conductor shielding layer 103. This layer contains a mixture of superabsorbent resin particles and ceramic flame-retardant powder. The superabsorbent resin particles swell upon contact with water, effectively blocking water, while the ceramic flame-retardant powder forms a ceramic layer at high temperatures, providing fire resistance. A wrapping layer 105 is radially outer of the cable filling layer 104. This wrapping layer 105 uses double-sided flame-retardant coated non-woven fabric tape for overlapping wrapping, used to fix the cable core structure and provide flame-retardant protection. An inner sheath 10 is extruded radially outer of the wrapping layer 105. 6. The inner sheath 106 is made of nano-magnesium hydroxide modified flame-retardant polyolefin material. Nano-magnesium hydroxide, as a flame retardant, can improve the flame-retardant performance of the material. A waterproof layer 107 is provided radially outside the inner sheath 106. The waterproof layer 107 is made of longitudinally wrapped welded aluminum-plastic composite tape, and the overlap seams are filled with hot melt sealant to form a complete radial waterproof barrier. An inner lining layer 108 is wrapped radially outside the waterproof layer 107. The inner lining layer 108 is made of asphalt-impregnated high-grammage glass fiber tape to buffer mechanical impact and provide a flat base surface for the armor layer 109. An armor layer 109 is provided radially outside the inner lining layer 108. The armor layer 109 is made of bidirectional braided galvanized steel wire and aramid fiber. Galvanized steel wire provides compressive strength, while aramid fiber enhances tensile strength. An outer liner 110 is fixed radially to the outer side of the armor layer 109. The outer liner 110 is a flame-retardant epoxy resin coating used to protect the armor layer 109 from corrosion. A corrugated buffer layer 111 is provided on the outer side of the outer liner 110. The corrugated buffer layer 111 is made of thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer and extends along the cable axis in an equidistant trapezoidal wave pattern, with silicone microspheres embedded in the troughs. This structure can effectively absorb and disperse external impact energy. A fire-retardant layer 112 is wrapped radially to the outer side of the corrugated buffer layer 111. The fire-retardant layer 112 is made of tightly wound ceramicized silicone rubber tape, which can form a ceramic protective layer at high temperatures to prevent the spread of flames.An outer sheath 113 is extruded radially outward from the fire-retardant layer 112. The outer sheath 113 is made of polyurethane and has an interlaced grid anti-slip texture molded on its outer surface. Polyurethane has excellent wear resistance, and the surface anti-slip texture increases friction to prevent cable displacement. This implementation achieves multiple protective functions for the cable, including waterproofing, fireproofing, and protection against mechanical damage, through the synergistic effect of each layer of components.

Further stress dispersion; the tightly wound ceramicized silicone rubber tape of the fireproof and flame-retardant layer 112 quickly forms a hard ceramic layer in the flame; the polyurethane material of the outer sheath 113, combined with the surface interlaced grid anti-slip texture design, significantly improves wear resistance and effectively prevents slippage during laying; each component forms a complete protection system through layer-by-layer protection, with the conductor and insulation system fully protected in the innermost layer, the waterproof and fireproof structure of the middle layer ensuring environmental resistance, and the mechanical protection components of the outer layer effectively resisting various external force damage, ultimately achieving long-term stable operation of the cable in complex environments.
