Description

Method for manufacturing power transmission cable using non-halogen flame-retardant resin composition
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a method for producing a power transmission cable using a non-halogen flame-retardant resin composition.
Background
In order to reduce damage in the event of fire, cables used in railway vehicles and the like need to have characteristics such as flame retardancy and low smoke emission. In order to obtain high flame retardancy, materials obtained by adding halogen flame retardants such as chlorine and bromine to polyolefins have been used. However, these substances containing a large amount of halogen-based flame retardants generate a large amount of toxic and harmful gases during combustion, and also generate highly toxic gases

English. Under such circumstances, cables using a non-halogen material (halogen-free material) containing no halogen substance as the covering material are becoming popular from the viewpoints of safety in fire and reduction of environmental load.
For example, patent document 1 discloses a power transmission cable in which a base polymer containing an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer having a vinyl acetate content of 50 wt% or more and a non-halogen flame-retardant resin composition containing 100 parts by mass or more and 180 parts by mass or less of a metal hydrate and silica in total per 100 parts by mass of the base polymer are used as a sheath layer in order to achieve high flame retardancy and low smoke generation.

Disclosure of Invention
Problems to be solved by the invention
The present inventors have conducted research and development on a coating material for a power transmission cable, and have studied a resin composition having good properties as a non-halogen material as the coating material.
Particularly, in power transmission cables, it is required to maintain good flexibility for a long time. As an evaluation of the flexibility life of the power transmission cable, heat aging characteristics satisfying a standard defined in "heat aged residual elongation" are required based on a heat aging test.
In addition, as a method of crosslinking a sheath layer, which is an outermost coating material of a power transmission cable, when crosslinking is performed with heat, heat of steam may be used. In such a crosslinking method using heat of steam, in order to prevent deterioration due to direct contact of steam with the power transmission cable, a protective layer having good thermal conductivity may be provided on the outer side to perform crosslinking. In such a crosslinking method, a step of providing a protective layer on the outer side of the sheath layer and a step of tearing off the protective layer on the outer side of the sheath layer are required before and after crosslinking.
Therefore, if the steam can be directly contacted with the protective layer to carry out crosslinking, the process of arranging the protective layer outside the protective layer and the process of tearing off the protective layer outside the protective layer are not needed, and the production efficiency is improved.
However, when crosslinking is performed by bringing steam into direct contact with the jacket layer, there is a problem that deterioration due to direct contact with steam is caused by deterioration of heat aging characteristics due to an undesirable product, that is, the standard defined as "heat aging residual elongation" cannot be satisfied.
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a power transmission cable using a non-halogen flame-retardant resin composition, which has excellent heat aging characteristics even in the case of using a crosslinking method in which direct steam contact is performed.

Detailed Description
Hereinafter, a method for manufacturing the power transmission cable according to the present embodiment will be described. Fig. 1 is a sectional view showing the constitution of a power transmission cable. In the present embodiment, a method for manufacturing a power transmission cable shown in fig. 1 will be described as an example.
The power transmission cable shown in fig. 1 includes a conductor 2 formed of a stranded wire, an inner semiconductive layer 3 formed on the outer periphery of the conductor 2, an insulating layer 4 formed on the outer periphery of the inner semiconductive layer 3, an outer semiconductive layer 5 formed on the outer periphery of the insulating layer 4, a semiconductive tape layer 6 formed on the outer periphery of the outer semiconductive layer 5, a shield layer 7 formed on the outer periphery of the semiconductive tape layer 6, a pressing tape layer 8 formed on the outer periphery of the shield layer 7, and a sheath layer 9 formed on the outer periphery of the pressing tape layer 8.
First, the inner semiconductive layer 3, the insulating layer 4, and the outer semiconductive layer 5 are simultaneously extrusion-molded on the outer periphery of the conductor 2. The inner semiconductive layer 3, the insulating layer 4, and the outer semiconductive layer 5 may be formed by extrusion molding in this order.
The conductor 2 is formed by twisting bare wires made of a plurality of metal wires. The bare wire may be metal-plated, and for example, a wire such as a tin-plated annealed copper wire may be used. The conductor 2 transmits a high voltage of 7000V or more, for example.
The inner semiconductive layer 3 and the outer semiconductive layer 5 are made of a material having conductivity obtained by dispersing conductive powder such as carbon in rubber such as ethylene propylene rubber or butyl rubber. The inner semiconductive layer 3 and the outer semiconductive layer 5 are provided to relax concentration of an electric field between the insulating layer 4 and the conductor 2 and an electric field between the insulating layer 4 and the shield layer 7.
The insulating layer 4 is made of, for example, ethylene propylene rubber, vinyl chloride, cross-linked polyethylene, silicone rubber, fluorine-based material, or the like.
Next, a semiconductive tape layer 6 is formed by winding a semiconductive tape spirally around the outer circumference of the outer semiconductive layer 5 in the cable axial direction. As the semiconductive tape, for example, a base fabric or a nonwoven fabric woven from warp and weft yarns of nylon, rayon, PET, or the like is impregnated with a material in which conductive powder such as carbon is dispersed in rubber such as ethylene propylene rubber or butyl rubber. As the semiconductive tape, for example, a tape having a thickness of 0.1mm to 0.4mm and a width of 30mm to 70mm can be used. The semiconductive tape can be wound in an overlapping manner such that the tape width is 1/4 or more and 1/2 or less, for example.
Next, the wire is wound around the outer circumference of the semiconductive tape layer 6 in a spiral shape in the cable axial direction, thereby forming the shield layer 7. The wire is made of a conductive material such as tin-plated soft copper, and for example, a wire rod having a diameter of 0.4mm to 0.6mm can be used. The shield 7 is in use connected to ground.
Next, the pressing tape layer 8 is formed by spirally winding the pressing tape around the outer periphery of the shield layer 7 in the cable axial direction. As the pressing belt, for example, a belt made of plastic or rayon having a thickness of 0.03mm to 0.2mm and a width of 50mm to 90mm can be used.
The laminated body from the conductor 2 to the pressing tape layer 8 up to this point is referred to as a core C.
Next, the sheath layer 9 is formed by extrusion molding the non-halogen flame-retardant resin composition on the outer periphery of the core portion C (the pressing tape layer 8). Then, crosslinking of the sheath layer 9 is performed.
The non-halogen flame-retardant resin composition constituting the sheath layer 9 contains a base polymer (resin component) and a flame retardant (metal hydroxide, silica).
The base polymer contains, for example, an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) and an ethylene- α -olefin copolymer modified with maleic anhydride (hereinafter also simply referred to as "maleic acid-modified ethylene copolymer").
As the ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) in the base polymer, one having a vinyl acetate content of 40 mass% or more can be used. By setting the vinyl acetate content to 40 mass% or more, the slag is firmer, and good flame retardancy and low fuming property can be obtained.
In the ethylene- α -olefin copolymer modified with maleic anhydride in the base polymer, α -olefin having 3 to 8 carbon atoms can be used as the α -olefin in consideration of flexibility of the cable. Examples of such an α -olefin include propylene, 1-butene, 1-pentene, 1-hexene, 1-heptene, and 1-octene, and isomers may also be used. One kind of the α -olefin may be used, or two or more kinds may be used in combination.
As the base polymer, a styrene butadiene rubber may be added to an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) and an ethylene- α -olefin copolymer modified with maleic anhydride.
As flame retardants, metal hydroxides or silica can be used.
As the metal hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide or aluminum hydroxide may be used. As such a metal hydroxide, a metal hydroxide surface-treated with silane may be used. For example, magnesium hydroxide surface-treated with a silane coupling agent, or aluminum hydroxide surface-treated with a silane coupling agent may be used. By using a surface-treated product using a silane coupling agent, mechanical properties (tensile strength, elongation) are improved.
As the silica, either amorphous silica or crystalline silica may be used. This silica is used for solidification of slag during combustion and for improvement of mechanical properties. The silica is spherical in shape and has an average particle diameter of 0.05 μm to 1.0 μm. More preferably, the average particle diameter is 0.15 μm or more and 0.3 μm or less. By using such silica in combination with a metal hydroxide, a balance among flame retardancy, low fuming property, and mechanical properties can be achieved. In particular, by forming the spherical shape, the silica enters the gaps between the metal hydroxides, and the dispersibility of the metal hydroxides is improved. Further, by setting the average particle diameter of silica to 0.05 μm or more and 1.0 μm or less, the interaction with the polymer becomes appropriate, and the mechanical properties are improved. The average particle diameter of silica may be a value of the median diameter (μm) of the particle diameter D50 with a frequency cumulative particle size of 50%. The shape of the silica (whether it is spherical) can be confirmed by an electron microscope.
Here, in the present embodiment, as the flame retardant, any of (a1) magnesium hydroxide alone, (a2) aluminum hydroxide alone, (a3) silica alone, (a4) a combination of magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide, and (a5) a combination of aluminum hydroxide and silica can be used. The amount of the flame retardant to be added is 50 parts by mass or more, and more preferably 100 parts by mass or more and 150 parts by mass or less, based on 100 parts by mass of the base polymer.
By selecting the flame retardant from the above (a1) to (a5) and avoiding the use of magnesium hydroxide in combination with silica in this way, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the heat aged residual elongation even when steam crosslinking described later is performed. That is, the deterioration of the mechanical properties after the heat aging test can be suppressed. The heat aging test is understood as one of the accelerated tests, and the good characteristics after the heat aging test are an index capable of securing mechanical characteristics (e.g., flexibility) for a long period of time.
When magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide are used in combination in (a4), the ratio of aluminum hydroxide: magnesium hydroxide 40: 60-60: 40. this is because the stepwise dehydration method is more effective for suppressing the temperature rise and curing the slag in the combustion of the non-halogen flame-retardant resin composition. Since the dehydration initiation temperature of aluminum hydroxide is around 210 ℃ and the dehydration initiation temperature of magnesium hydroxide is around 280 ℃, stepwise dehydration occurs in the order of aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide, and inhibition of temperature rise of the jacket layer and solidification of the slag occur effectively.
Of the above flame retardants, magnesium hydroxide, aluminum hydroxide and silica contribute to flame retardancy and low fuming property, but magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide contribute more to flame retardancy, and silica contributes more to low fuming property due to solidification of the slag.
The non-halogen flame-retardant resin composition used for the power transmission cable may be blended with other polymers (other EVA, other polyolefin modified with maleic acid or the like, unmodified polyolefin, or the like), a crosslinking agent, a crosslinking assistant, a colorant, a lubricant, an antioxidant, and the like, as required.
For example, peroxides may also be used as crosslinking agents. In addition, carbon may also be used as a colorant. In addition, stearate compounds may also be used as lubricants. By blending a lubricant, the workability at the time of extrusion can be improved.
Fig. 2 is a schematic view showing a manufacturing apparatus of the power transmission cable. The single screw extruder 200 shown in fig. 2 includes a screw 220 and a material inlet 221 disposed in a cylinder. The non-halogen flame-retardant resin composition is charged from a material charging port (hopper) 221 as a material of the sheath layer 9. The non-halogen flame-retardant resin composition is melted, extruded from the extruder 200, and passes through the extrusion head 230 to be coated on the core C fed from the output machine. Next, the core C and the jacket layer 9 on the outer periphery thereof are crosslinked while passing through the inside of a steam pipe (crosslinking pipe) 240. Using such a continuous crosslinking apparatus, sheath layer 9 is directly contacted with water vapor to be crosslinked (crosslinked by passing through water vapor). For example, the crosslinking is carried out in a water vapor atmosphere at 150 ℃ to 180 ℃ for 5 minutes to 60 minutes. Operating in this manner, the power transmission cable 1 can be manufactured.
In this way, according to the method of manufacturing the power transmission cable 1 of the present embodiment, the composite of magnesium hydroxide and silica is not used as the flame retardant, but the flame retardant is selected from the above (a1) to (a5), so that the formation of magnesium silicate, which is an undesirable reaction product of magnesium hydroxide and silica generated when steam crosslinking is performed, can be avoided, and the decrease in residual elongation (%) after thermal aging can be suppressed.
As described above, according to the method for manufacturing a power transmission cable of the present embodiment, a power transmission cable using a non-halogen flame-retardant resin composition having excellent heat aging characteristics can be manufactured. Further, according to the method for manufacturing a power transmission cable of the present embodiment, it is possible to manufacture a power transmission cable efficiently without using a shield for suppressing the generation of an undesired reactant.
Here, in the power transmission cable according to the present embodiment, the outer diameter (diameter) is, for example, 30mm to 60mm, and the thickness of the sheath layer is, for example, 2mm to 4 mm.
The power transmission cable according to the present embodiment can be used, for example, as an extra-high voltage cable provided in a railway vehicle (hereinafter referred to as an extra-high voltage cable for a railway vehicle). The ultrahigh-voltage cable for a railway vehicle is disposed along a ceiling portion and a wall portion so as to be connected to, for example, a pantograph disposed on a ceiling of the railway vehicle and a multi-voltage switch disposed under a floor. Here, the extra high voltage is 7000V or more.

With respect to the obtained sheet, mechanical properties before and after the heat aging test were evaluated by a tensile test based on the following ICE60811-1-1 standard and ICE60811-1-2 standard.
The obtained sheet was punched out in a dumbbell No. 6 shape to prepare test pieces having a reticle pitch of 20 mm. The test piece was pulled at a pull rate of 200mm/min, and the distance between the gauge lines after breaking was measured. The scribe line pitch after the fracture was obtained by determining the scribe line pitch attached to the test piece after the fracture. The elongation (%) before heat aging was determined by the following equation.
Elongation (%) before heat aging of 100X distance (mm) between marked lines after breaking/20 (mm)
The obtained sheet was exposed to an oven at 120 ℃ for 168 hours, and then punched out in a dumbbell No. 6 shape to prepare test pieces having a pitch of 20 mm. The test piece was pulled at a pull rate of 200mm/min, and the elongation at the tensile breaking point was measured. The elongation (%) after heat aging was determined by the following equation.
Elongation after heat aging (%) < 100X mark distance after breakage (mm)/20(mm)
Further, the residual elongation (%) after heat aging was determined by the following equation.
Residual elongation after heat aging (%)/elongation before heat aging (%)
The elongation (%) before heat aging and the residual elongation (%) after heat aging are shown in Table 1.
The samples having a residual elongation (%) after heat aging of 75% or more were regarded as "pass", and the samples having a residual elongation of less than 75% were regarded as "fail".
As shown in Table 1, the sheets of examples 1 to 5 all had residual elongations (%) of 75% or more after heat aging and good heat aging characteristics.
Specifically, in example 1, when a composite of (a5) aluminum hydroxide and silica was used as a flame retardant, the residual elongation (%) after heat aging was 75% or more, and the heat aging characteristics were good.
In example 2, when a composite of magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide (a4) was used as a flame retardant, the residual elongation (%) after heat aging was 75% or more, and the heat aging characteristics were good.
In example 3, when silica alone (a3) was used as a flame retardant, the residual elongation (%) after heat aging was 75% or more, and the heat aging characteristics were good.
In example 4, when magnesium hydroxide alone (a1) was used as a flame retardant, the residual elongation (%) after heat aging was 75% or more, and the heat aging characteristics were good.
In example 5, when (a2) alone was used as a flame retardant, the residual elongation (%) after heat aging was 75% or more, and the heat aging characteristics were good.
Further, in examples 1 to 5, the amount of the flame retardant added was 50 parts by mass or more per 100 parts by mass of the base polymer, and the amount of the flame retardant added was large, and in examples 1, 2, 4 and 5, in which the amount was 100 parts by mass or more per 100 parts by mass of the base polymer, the residual elongation (%) after heat aging was 90% or more, and the heat aging property was more excellent.
In comparative examples 1 to 3, in which a composite of magnesium hydroxide and silica was used as a flame retardant, the residual elongation (%) after heat aging was less than 75%, and the heat aging characteristics were poor. In these comparative examples, the residual elongation (%) after heat aging was low even when the amount of the flame retardant added was 100 parts by mass or more per 100 parts by mass of the base polymer.
Such a decrease in residual elongation (%) after heat aging is caused by the formation of magnesium silicate, which is an undesirable reactant of magnesium hydroxide and silica upon steam crosslinking.
Therefore, as shown in (a1) to (a5), the residual elongation (%) after heat aging can be improved and the heat aging characteristics can be improved by avoiding the use of magnesium hydroxide in combination with silica and blending a flame retardant.
Here, in the case of performing the steam crosslinking, in order to suppress the generation of an undesired reactant by steam, it is possible to cope with this by covering the jacket layer with a protective layer, performing the steam crosslinking, and then peeling the protective layer, but in this case, a step of forming the protective layer and a step of peeling are necessary, and the production efficiency is lowered.
On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, by adjusting the combination of flame retardants as described above, even if steam crosslinking is performed, an undesirable reaction product (magnesium silicate) is not generated, and it is possible to improve the production efficiency and suppress the reduction in the heat aged residual elongation.
The test piece used in the present example or the like corresponds to a sample obtained by peeling off the sheath layer of the power transmission cable and punching the same with the above dumbbell, for example.
(application example)
In the above embodiment, the power transmission cable is constituted by the plurality of laminated bodies shown in fig. 1, and may be constituted by an insulated wire having the conductor 2 and the insulating layer 4 provided around the conductor as a core layer and the sheath layer 9 provided around the conductor. Further, a plurality of insulated wires may be used as the core layer. As the sheath layer of the power transmission cable thus configured, the non-halogen flame-retardant resin composition can be used, and the sheath layer can be formed around the core layer in the same manner as in the above embodiment.
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and examples, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit thereof.
