Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical components technology, and in particular to a waterproof cable. Background Technology
[0002] Cables are insulated conductors consisting of one or more mutually insulated conductive cores enclosed in a sealed sheath. They are mainly used for transmitting electrical energy, signals, or converting electromagnetic energy and are widely used in fields such as power, communication, and electronic equipment.
[0003] In the field of power transmission, especially in special environments such as the seabed and damp underground, the waterproof performance and structural stability of cables directly affect their service life and transmission reliability. Current technologies often employ a single water-blocking layer or simple absorbent material filling for water-blocking designs, which have the following shortcomings: Firstly, traditional water-blocking layers lack effective support structures. When exposed to water, the absorbent material expands and is easily damaged by water flow or cable deformation, leading to a decrease in water-blocking effectiveness. This is especially problematic in dynamic water environments such as the seabed, where the continuous impact of high-pressure water flow can easily destroy the integrity of the water-blocking layer, causing moisture to penetrate into the wire and affecting power transmission safety. Secondly, the bonding stability between the absorbent material and surrounding components in ordinary water-blocking structures is insufficient. During long-term use or frequent deformation, gaps or delamination can easily occur, further weakening the waterproofing capability.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a cable that can maintain stable waterproof performance in dynamic water environments and whose structural strength is adapted to complex working conditions. Thus, a waterproof cable is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0023] The following disclosure provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of this invention. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples; such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed. In addition, examples of various specific processes and materials are provided in this invention, but those skilled in the art will recognize the application of other processes and / or the use of other materials.
[0024] In this embodiment, by Figure 1-2 A waterproof cable is provided, comprising a wire 1 and a shielding layer 2. The wire 1 transmits electricity, while the shielding layer 2, which wraps around the wire 1, primarily functions to block external electromagnetic interference and prevent electromagnetic radiation generated inside the cable from leaking out. This ensures that the power transmission process is unaffected by external factors and will not interfere with surrounding electronic equipment.
[0025] In addition, to achieve a good waterproof effect, a water-blocking layer 3 is applied to at least one of the outer and inner sides of the shielding layer 2. This water-blocking layer 3 is formed by wrapping an inner water-blocking tape 31, a water-absorbing layer 32, and an outer water-blocking tape 33 sequentially from the inside out. Its purpose is to prevent moisture from penetrating between the wire 1 and the water-blocking layer 3, and to prevent moisture from contacting the wire 1 and affecting power transmission.
[0026] Specifically, the absorbent layer 32 comprises fibrous reinforcing filler and an inorganic absorbent material that expands upon contact with water to form a water-blocking gel. The fibrous reinforcing filler forms a supporting skeleton, while the inorganic absorbent material expands upon contact with water, filling the gaps in the skeleton and forming a water-blocking gel. The fibrous reinforcing filler can be one of polyester short fibers, polypropylene fibers, or nylon fibers, or a combination of these. These fibrous reinforcing fillers interweave to form a porous supporting skeleton, much like building a stable framework. The inorganic absorbent material can be one of sodium-based bentonite, sodium-modified calcium-based bentonite, or lithium montmorillonite, or a mixture of these. When this inorganic absorbent material encounters moisture, it expands, filling the gaps between the fibrous skeleton to form a water-blocking gel that firmly blocks water. The three-dimensional skeleton formed by the fibers enhances the gel's tear resistance and erosion resistance, preventing high-pressure water flow from damaging the gel structure, making it suitable for dynamic aquatic environments (such as submarine cables subjected to ocean currents).
[0027] It should be noted that the core principle of inorganic water-absorbing materials lies in the fact that these layered silicate mineral lattices contain exchangeable cations (such as Na+). When they encounter water molecules, the water molecules will enter the interlayer through osmosis, causing the interlayer spacing to increase sharply, i.e., "swelling upon contact with water". The volume can expand several to ten times. After absorbing water, it quickly transforms into a viscous gel-like substance, i.e., forming a "water-blocking gel". During the water absorption and swelling process, the gel will strongly fill and block all the pores and gaps in the skeleton composed of fibrous fillers, thereby forming a dense and continuous physical water-blocking barrier inside the water-absorbing layer 32, which greatly improves the water-blocking effect.
[0028] In summary, power is transmitted via wire 1, with shielding layer 2 wrapping around the outside of wire 1 to block external electromagnetic interference and prevent internal electromagnetic radiation leakage, ensuring uninterrupted power transmission without affecting surrounding equipment. Simultaneously, a water-blocking layer 3 is formed on at least one side of the shielding layer 2, consisting of an inner water-blocking tape 31, a water-absorbing layer 32, and an outer water-blocking tape 33, wrapped sequentially from the inside out. The water-absorbing layer 32 contains interwoven fibrous reinforcing fillers such as polyester short fibers to form a porous support skeleton. Inorganic water-absorbing materials such as sodium-based bentonite expand upon contact with water and fill the gaps in the skeleton to form a water-blocking gel. The fiber skeleton enhances the tear resistance and erosion resistance of the gel to adapt to dynamic water environments. The water-blocking layer 3 prevents water from penetrating between wire 1 and the water-blocking layer 3, avoiding interference with power transmission. The beneficial effect of this waterproof cable is that the double water-blocking layer 3 design combined with the fiber-reinforced expanding gel structure significantly improves waterproof performance, especially in dynamic water environments, effectively resisting high-pressure water flow and ensuring waterproof reliability. Meanwhile, the shielding layer 2 ensures the stability of power transmission.
[0029] To further enhance the waterproof performance of the cable, a water-blocking layer 3 is laid on both the outer and inner sides of the shielding layer 2. Compared to laying the water-blocking layer 3 on either the outer or inner side of the shielding layer 2, the double-layer water-blocking layer 3 provides better waterproofing. It is more suitable for complex underwater current environments, such as those with strong currents, while a single-layer water-blocking layer 3 is more suitable for environments with gentle currents and lower waterproofing requirements, such as calm rivers or seabeds with relatively small currents.
[0030] Furthermore, to protect the internal structure of the waterproof cable and further resist the influence of the external environment, in this embodiment, an outer sheath layer 4 is laid outside the outermost water-blocking strip 33 of the outermost water-blocking layer 3. The function of this outer sheath layer 4 is to protect all the internal structures of the waterproof cable, while resisting various influences of the external environment, such as preventing mechanical collisions, resisting wind, sun, rain, seawater corrosion, and erosion. Moreover, the outer sheath layer 4 enhances the environmental adaptability of the waterproof cable, enabling it to work stably in various complex environments, extending its service life and reducing maintenance costs.
[0031] In this design, the inner water-blocking tape 31, the outer water-blocking tape 33, and the outer sheath layer 4 are all preferably made of polyester fiber. Polyester fiber has high mechanical strength and wear resistance, can support the water-blocking layer 3 and prevent the water-absorbing layer 32 from deforming, and is also resistant to chemical corrosion and has good weather resistance, which can extend the cable life. In other embodiments, nylon fiber can also be used to suit frequent bending scenarios; or polypropylene fiber can be used to suit cost-sensitive scenarios. In comparison, the advantage of choosing polyester fiber is that its comprehensive performance is balanced, it is suitable for most conventional scenarios, and the uniform material is easy to process, which is conducive to large-scale application.
[0032] Based on the foregoing, the inner water-blocking tape 31, the outer water-blocking tape 33, and the outer sheath layer 4 are preferably made of polyester fiber. Regardless of the material, if the waterproof cable is used for too long or is frequently subjected to impact, it will naturally age. The continuous impact of water on the waterproof cable will cause it to sway. The inner water-blocking tape 31, the outer water-blocking tape 33, and the outer sheath layer 4 will all show signs of aging, cracking, and fissures. This is the situation mentioned earlier where moisture penetrates between the wire 1 and the water-blocking layer 3.
[0033] Furthermore, considering that when the outermost water-blocking strip 33 of the outermost water-blocking layer 3 is in direct contact with the outer sheath layer 4, it is prone to excessive adhesion or friction damage due to material differences, and that the outer sheath layer 4 may develop micro-cracks due to environmental factors during long-term use, causing moisture and oxygen to penetrate into the water-blocking layer 3, and that the surface condition of the outer water-blocking strip 33 may affect the molding quality of the outer sheath layer 4, therefore, in this embodiment, an isolation layer 5 is provided between the outer water-blocking strip 33 of the water-blocking layer 3 outside the shielding layer 2 and the outer sheath layer 4. The material of the isolation layer 5 is preferably... Non-woven fabric; The non-woven fabric isolation layer 5 has good flexibility and can adapt to the structural shape changes when the cable is bent and stretched, avoiding interlayer tearing. At the same time, it separates the outer water-blocking strip 33 from the outer sheath layer 4 to reduce friction damage, blocks water and oxygen from penetrating through the micro-cracks of the outer sheath layer 4, and the porous structure can buffer the molding pressure of the outer sheath layer 4 to ensure the integrity of the outer water-blocking strip 33. This improves the stability of the cable structure and interlayer compatibility, extends the service life of the water-blocking layer 3, enhances the damage resistance in complex environments, and broadens the applicable scenarios.
[0034] In other embodiments, the insulating layer 5 can also be made of fiberglass cloth or polyester film. Fiberglass cloth is suitable for high-temperature environments, such as metallurgical plants and boiler rooms where temperatures often exceed 80°C, because its high-temperature resistance is superior to that of non-woven fabric, thus preventing the insulating layer 5 from failing at high temperatures. Polyester film is suitable for scenarios requiring high flatness, such as internal wiring in precision instruments, reducing the impact of interlayer protrusions on the overall cable dimensions. In comparison, the insulating layer 5 using non-woven fabric has superior overall performance. On the one hand, the flexibility and cushioning of non-woven fabric are better suited to the dynamic deformation of cables during daily bending and stretching, making it suitable for most general scenarios, such as building wiring and outdoor pipes. On the other hand, its cost is lower than that of fiberglass cloth, and it does not require high-precision bonding equipment during processing, making it easier to process than polyester film. It can reduce production and application costs while ensuring protective effects, making it more conducive to large-scale promotion and use.
[0035] The wire 1 includes a core wire 110 and an insulation layer 120. The core wire 110 is formed by stranding multiple high-purity copper wires. This stranding structure utilizes the excellent conductivity of high-purity copper to ensure efficient power transmission, while also enhancing the overall mechanical strength of the core wire 110, making it less prone to breakage under bending and tensile conditions. The insulation layer 120 wraps around the core wire 110 and is made of fluoroplastic. Fluoroplastic possesses excellent high and low temperature resistance (withstanding a temperature range of -200℃ to 260℃ for extended periods), chemical corrosion resistance (resisting seawater, acid and alkali solutions, etc.), and electrical insulation properties. It is particularly suitable for extreme environments such as the deep sea, effectively isolating the core wire 110 from the external structure. This ensures stable and reliable electrical insulation performance of the core wire 110 under high-voltage, high-humidity, and highly corrosive deep-sea conditions, preventing the risk of short circuits or leakage due to insulation failure.
[0036] Furthermore, considering that a single wire 1 cannot meet the requirements for waterproof cable use, multiple wires 1 are required. With multiple wires 1, gaps will exist between the wires 1 and between the wires 1 and the inner water-blocking strip 31. These gaps will not only cause the internal structure of the cable to become loose, making it easy for the wires 1 to become entangled and displaced during bending, stretching, and other deformation processes, but may also become channels for water penetration, affecting the water-blocking effect. At the same time, the loose structure will reduce the overall mechanical stability of the cable. In order to solve the above problems, in this embodiment, there are multiple wires 1, one of which is located at the center of the cavity formed by the shielding layer 2 and is referred to as the central wire 11. The remaining wires 1 are the side wires 12. The side wires 12 are arranged around the central wire 11, and adjacent wires 1 abut against each other. The outer side of the side wires 12 abuts against the inner side of the inner water-blocking strip 31. The gaps formed between the inner water-blocking strip 31 and any two adjacent side wires 12 are filled with gap filling lines.
[0037] Specifically, gap-filling lines are used to fill the gaps formed between the inner water-blocking strip 31 and any two adjacent side wires 12. After the gap-filling lines fill the gaps, the multiple wires 1 and the inner water-blocking strip 31 form a tight whole. When the cable is bent or stretched, it adjusts synchronously with the structural deformation, avoiding entanglement or displacement of the parts and maintaining a neat and orderly internal structure. The beneficial effects of this structure are that the filling of the gaps enhances the structural stability of the cable with multiple wires 1, reduces frictional damage between the wires 1, improves the cable's adaptability to deformation, and helps to block the water penetration path. Combined with the water-blocking layer 3, it further optimizes the waterproof performance and is suitable for compact layout scenarios with multiple wires 1 inside the cable. Furthermore, considering that waterproof cables are not limited to a specific environment, it is necessary to consider their applicability to various environments, that is, their suitability for comprehensive environmental conditions. Therefore, cotton thread 6 is the preferred choice for filling the gaps. Cotton thread 6 has the best flexibility and adaptability to cable deformation, and can be used in most environments, resulting in relatively good overall performance.
[0038] In other embodiments, nylon fiber can be used as the gap-filling material to suit scenarios requiring high abrasion resistance, such as cables for frequently moving equipment; glass fiber can also be used to fill the gaps, suitable for wiring in high-temperature environments, such as connection wires for metallurgical equipment. The advantage of using cotton thread 6 to fill the gaps is that the flexibility of cotton thread 6 is optimally adapted to cable deformation, and it is low-cost and easy to process. It can maintain structural stability and neatness without increasing the cable's hardness and weight, making it suitable for most conventional multi-wire cable applications, facilitating large-scale production and promotion.
[0039] To achieve the aforementioned goal of blocking external electromagnetic interference and preventing leakage of its own electromagnetic radiation, the shielding layer 2 is composed of at least two layers of aluminum braided mesh, with each layer having a braiding density of at least 95%. The braiding density refers to the percentage of the area covered by the braided wires in the shielding layer relative to the total area of the shielding layer. Simply put, it's the degree to which the braided mesh "covers" the surface of the shielding layer. Furthermore, aluminum is preferably used as the material for the braided mesh. This utilizes aluminum's excellent conductivity to achieve efficient electromagnetic shielding, while its lower density reduces the overall weight of the cable. The at least two-layer structure combined with a high braiding density of at least 95% significantly reduces the mesh gaps, enhancing the ability to block electromagnetic interference through the synergistic effect of multi-layer reflection and absorption. Simultaneously, it effectively suppresses the leakage of internal electromagnetic radiation, ensuring stable power transmission in complex electromagnetic environments and preventing external interference or its own radiation from affecting surrounding equipment.
[0040] In summary, the waterproof cable transmits power through the core wire 110 of the wire 1, the insulation layer 120 ensures electrical insulation, and the shielding layer 2 uses at least two layers of high-density aluminum braided mesh to achieve efficient electromagnetic shielding, blocking internal and external electromagnetic interference and ensuring stable transmission. The water-blocking layers 3 on the inner and outer sides of the shielding layer 2 consist of an inner water-blocking tape 31, a water-absorbing layer 32, and an outer water-blocking tape 33. The fibrous reinforcing filler in the water-absorbing layer 32 forms a skeleton, and the inorganic water-absorbing material swells upon contact with water to form a water-blocking gel. The fiber skeleton enhances the gel's tear resistance and erosion resistance. The double water-blocking layers 3 significantly improve waterproof performance, especially suitable for dynamic water environments. Multiple wires 1 are connected with the middle wire 11 as the core wire. The structure is surrounded by cotton threads 6, which fill the gaps to enhance structural stability, reduce friction, and assist in water blocking. The non-woven fabric isolation layer 5 between the outermost water-blocking layer 3 and the outer sheath layer 4 reduces interlayer friction, blocks water penetration, and extends the life of the water-blocking layer 3. The inner water-blocking strip 31, the outer water-blocking strip 33, and the outer sheath layer 4 are made of polyester fiber, which improves the overall mechanical strength and weather resistance. The outer sheath layer 4 protects the internal structure from external influences. The whole structure achieves stable power transmission in complex electromagnetic environments and dynamic water environments, greatly improves waterproof reliability and structural stability, enhances environmental adaptability, extends service life, and reduces maintenance costs, making it suitable for a variety of complex scenarios.
