Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of multi-core cable technology, specifically to a multi-core cable structure with a wear-resistant protective sleeve. Background Technology
[0002] Multi-core cables typically consist of multiple core components to ensure electrical performance and mechanical protection. Their basic structure includes conductors (conductive cores), insulation, and a sheath. The conductors, made of conductive materials such as copper or aluminum, are the core of the multi-core cable and are responsible for transmitting current or signals. The insulation covers the conductors, providing electrical isolation and preventing current leakage. The sheath is the outermost layer, protecting the cable from mechanical damage and environmental factors (such as chemical corrosion or physical forces), enhancing overall durability. In practical applications, multi-core cable structures may also include additional components, such as connectors or branch structures, to improve connectivity and tensile strength—cable assembly connectors (such as external threaded couplings and insulating rubber gaskets) are used for branch combinations, while internal threaded couplings ensure a secure connection and prevent loosening due to pulling.
[0003] A novel multi-core cable, such as one with application number CN201822064382.0 and authorization announcement date of 20190813, includes a sheath frame, inner core wires, and a protective layer. The sheath frame includes a limiting tube, which is a cylindrical hollow tube. The limiting tube is divided into four identical wire-receiving cavities by a cross-shaped support frame. Both the limiting tube and the support frame are made of flexible rubber material. Each wire-receiving cavity is a fan-shaped space, and the limiting tube portion corresponding to each cavity is broken at the middle position, forming an inlet notch. The inner core wires enter the wire-receiving cavities through these inlet notches. The inner core wires include a metal wire and an external insulation layer. The sheath frame is externally covered with a protective layer made of rubber material. This multi-core cable has a simple structure and a relatively small number of rubber layers, improving production efficiency while reducing material costs.
[0004] Traditional multi-core cable structures mostly use rubber support frames. Rubber support frames have poor pressure resistance under high pressure environments and are prone to deformation of the internal core due to external pressure. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a multi-core cable structure with a wear-resistant protective sleeve to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-core cable structure with a wear-resistant protective sleeve to address the aforementioned shortcomings in the prior art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A multi-core cable structure with a wear-resistant protective sheath includes an outer sheath assembly and a multi-core assembly. The outer sheath assembly covers the outside of the multi-core assembly. The multi-core assembly includes a skeleton component and four sets of multi-core components. The skeleton component is composed of a flexible fiber skeleton and four insert strips. The sidewall of the flexible fiber skeleton is provided with four insert slots arranged in a rectangular array. The four insert strips are respectively interference-fitted with the insert slots. Each set of multi-core components includes a metal core and an insulating layer covering it. The multi-core components are fixed in the insert slots by the elastic pressure of the insert strips.
[0007] Furthermore, the outer skin assembly includes an insulating sleeve that wraps around the flexible fiber skeleton, and the inner wall of the insulating sleeve is in contact with four insert strips.
[0008] Furthermore, the insulating sheath is covered with an armored protective layer, which is a stainless steel wire braided layer, and the armored protective layer is covered with an elastic thick leather layer.
[0009] Furthermore, the outer surface of the elastic thick skin layer is designed with a honeycomb-shaped vesicle layer, and the honeycomb-shaped vesicle layer is wrapped with an external protective layer.
[0010] Furthermore, the outer protective layer includes an inner skin layer and a fabric layer. The inner skin layer has an elastic thick skin layer with a vesicle layer that is thermally bonded together, and the aramid fabric layer is bonded to the inner skin layer with epoxy resin.
[0011] Furthermore, there are equidistant cavities between the fabric layer and the inner skin layer, and the cavities are filled with flame-retardant and heat-insulating material.
[0012] In the above technical solution, the multi-core cable structure with wear-resistant protective sleeve provided by this utility model has the following advantages: (1) The interference fit structure of the flexible fiber skeleton and the embedded strip of this utility model locks the core structure composed of metal core and insulation layer in the embedded groove through elastic pressure, forming a mechanical interlocking effect. Compared with the rubber support frame of the traditional technology, this design greatly improves the compressive strength of the cable under high pressure environment and can improve the service life of multi-core cables.
[0013] (2) The continuous contact surface between the insulating sheath and the embedded strip of this utility model forms the first layer of electrical isolation barrier. The armored protective layer woven with stainless steel wire provides anti-cut protection, while the elastic thick skin layer absorbs impact energy. The three-layer structure works together to solve the problem of single-layer protection defects, and the wear resistance life is increased by a factor of two. Furthermore, the pore structure of the honeycomb vesicle layer produces non-uniform deformation when bent, which effectively disperses external stress and avoids the core compression caused by stress concentration in traditional rubber support frames.
[0014] (3) The aramid fabric layer and the flame-retardant heat insulation material of this utility model constitute a dual-level fire protection system. In addition, the flexible fiber skeleton and embedded strips, honeycomb vesicle layer and other structures can increase the service life of the cable in high wear and strong bending scenarios to many times that of traditional products. Furthermore, through material and structural innovation, the triple performance balance of pressure resistance, wear resistance and flame retardancy that the background technology has failed to achieve is realized.
