Cable with improved insulation
Technical Field
The utility model relates to a cable.
Background
Because of the good conductivity of copper, most of the cables used in China currently use copper as a conductor. However, the copper has a high density, and the bending property of the copper often cannot meet the requirement of flexibility of the cable in some industrial installation environments, so that the copper cable is difficult to install. Meanwhile, the price of copper is high, so that the price of the copper cable is high. If pure aluminum is used as the conductor, although aluminum is inexpensive and has good flexibility, the properties in terms of tensile strength and elongation are difficult to satisfy the requirements for industrial use. Therefore, in addition to copper conductors and aluminum conductors, cables using aluminum alloys as conductors are being used in the beginning, in order to balance the characteristics of aluminum alloy cables with the demands of industrial cables in various aspects.
In addition, in the prior art, the cross-section of the metal conductor wire manufactured by drawing, rolling, etc. is generally circular, and the cross-sectional shape of each metal conductor wire is maintained when the cable core is formed by twisting a plurality of metal conductor wires. That is, in the cross-section of the cable core, the shape of each conductor wire still remains circular, with a configuration in which a large gap may exist between adjacent conductor wires. Therefore, the cross section of the cable is large, so that the bending radius of the cable is large, and the installation is not facilitated.
In addition, in the prior art, the outer sheath of the cable cannot meet the requirement of mineral oil corrosion resistance of the outer sheath in national standard GB/T2951.21-2008 in China, so that the service life of the cable is shortened under specific use conditions

Detailed Description
For convenience of explanation of the structural configuration and the usage state of the present invention, the following embodiments will explain the preferred embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings.
As shown in fig. 1, the cable 1 according to the present invention includes: a plurality of cable core assemblies 5 and an outer sheath 4; each cable core assembly 5 comprises a cable core 3 and an insulating layer 3 coated outside the cable core assembly 5; the outer sheath 4 is coated on the peripheries of the cable core assemblies 5; each cable core 2 has a circular cross section, each cable core 2 is formed by twisting at least two conductor wires, at least one conductor wire layer is arranged from inside to outside in the radial direction of the circular cross section, each conductor wire layer comprises at least one conductor wire, and the outer peripheral surfaces, opposite to each other, of two adjacent conductor wires are attached to each other.
More specifically, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, at least one conductor wire layer is two or more conductor wire layers, and the outer peripheral surfaces of two adjacent conductor wire layers opposite to each other are attached to each other. Of the two or more conductor filament layers, the conductor filament layer positioned at the center of the cable core 2 is a central conductor filament layer 21, and the conductor filament layer surrounding the central conductor filament layer 21 is an outer conductor filament layer 22; wherein the central conductor wire layer 21 has a circular cross-section; the outer conductor wire layer 22 has a circular cross-section.
In the cable 1 provided by the present invention, all the conductor wires are preformed before twisting. The conductor wires after the preforming process are not in a conventional circular cross section but are formed into different shapes in accordance with the actual requirements of each conductor wire layer (for example, a conductor wire layer of a circular cross section or a conductor wire layer of a circular cross section), and the cable core 2 having different cross-sectional areas is formed by arranging a plurality of conductor wire layers in sequence in the radial direction of the cable core 2. Thus, gaps among different conductor wire layers and between conductor wires are reduced to the maximum extent, and the compression coefficient of the cable core 2 reaches more than 90%. The bending radius of the cable core 2 is only 7 times of the outer diameter of the cable core. Various preferred configurations of the conductor filament layers of the cable core 2 will be specified in connection with the two preferred embodiments.
In the first embodiment of the present invention, referring to fig. 2, the two or more conductor filament layers are 2 conductor filament layers, wherein the central conductor filament layer 21 includes 3 conductor filaments 21 a; the outer conductor filament layer 22 includes 7 conductor filaments 22 a.
Before twisting the conductor wires, the cross section of each conductor wire 21a in the center conductor wire layer 21 is preformed into a substantially triangular shape, and the cross-sectional shape and area of each conductor wire 21a are equal. In the outer conductor filament layer 22, the cross section of each conductor filament 22a is preformed into a substantially trapezoidal shape, and the cross-sectional shape and area of each conductor filament 22a are equal to each other.
Compared with the conventional cable core consisting of the round conductor wires, the conductor wires arranged in the above way are arranged more compactly and are attached more closely, so that the compression coefficient of the conductor wires is obviously improved, and the bending radius of the cable 1 is reduced.
In the following second embodiment, another configuration of the cable core 2 according to the present invention will be explained.
Referring to fig. 3, in the cable core 2 provided in the second embodiment, the two or more conductor filament layers are 3 conductor filament layers, wherein the central conductor filament layer 21 includes 3 conductor filaments 21 a; the outer conductor filament layer 22 includes a first conductor filament layer 22A and a second conductor filament layer 22B. Further, the first conductor filament layer 22A is closer to the center conductor filament layer 21 than the second conductor filament layer 22B, the first conductor filament layer 22A includes 8 conductor filaments 22A, and the second conductor filament layer 22B includes 12 conductor filaments 22B. Similarly to the first embodiment described above, in this second embodiment, each conductor wire is also subjected to a preforming process to give it a suitable cross-sectional area and shape. Before twisting the conductor wires, the cross section of each conductor wire 21a in the center conductor wire layer 21 is preformed into a substantially triangular shape, and the cross-sectional shape and area of each conductor wire 21a are equal. In the first conductor wire layer 22A, the cross section of each conductor wire 22A is preformed into a substantially trapezoidal shape, and the cross-sectional shape and area of each conductor wire 22A are equal to each other. In the second conductor wire layer 22B, the cross section of each conductor wire 22B is preformed into a substantially trapezoidal shape, and the cross-sectional shape and area of each conductor wire 22B are equal to each other.
As shown in fig. 3, in the present second embodiment, the sectional area of the conductor wire 22b is larger than that of the conductor wire 22 a. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and those skilled in the art can select the number of the conductor wires and the cross-sectional area of each conductor wire in each conductor wire layer according to actual use and design requirements, as long as the conductor wire layer can be made to conform to the limitations of the present invention. In addition to the two embodiments, there are other conductor wire arrangements, which are not listed here.
Further, in the cable 1 provided in the above two preferred embodiments, the outer sheath 4 is made of PVC material resistant to corrosion by mineral oil. According to the test, the maximum change rate of the tensile strength and the elongation at break of the outer sheath 4 made of the PVC material is-40% after the outer sheath 4 is immersed in oil with the oil temperature of 100 +/-2 ℃ for 24 hours. The test result meets the requirement of mineral oil corrosion resistance in the national standard GT/T2951.21-2008. The outer sheath 4 made of the PVC material is better in mineral oil corrosion resistance than the outer sheath made of other materials, so that the service life of the cable 1 can be prolonged.
Further, in the cable 1 provided by the present invention, the outer sheath 4 can also be made of PVC material with flame retardant property. According to the test, the cable 1 using the outer sheath 4 made of the PVC material passes the flame vertical spreading test of the vertically installed bundled wire cable, the flame vertical spreading test of the C type flame retardant test, the longest distance of the carbonized part on the test sample does not exceed 2.5m above the bottom edge of the blast burner, and the result meets the requirement of the national GB/T18380.35-2008. Therefore, the cable 1 using the outer sheath 4 made of the PVC material has better flame retardant property.
In addition, the cable 1 with the outer sheath 8 made of PVC material has resistance to ultraviolet ageing and low temperature. In terms of ultraviolet ray aging resistance, the outer sheath 4 has a change rate of tensile strength and a fracture growth rate of not more than 30% after 1008 hours of photoaging in a 0-1008 hour artificial weathering test. After photo-aging at 504 and 1008h, the change rate of the tensile strength and the fracture growth rate of the outer sheath 4 is not more than 15%. The result meets the requirements of the national standard GB/T12527-2008. In terms of low temperature resistance, in the test at a test temperature of-40 °, the low temperature tensile elongation at break portion of the outer sheath 4 was less than 20%, and the test piece after the low temperature impact test was free from cracks.
Further, the conductor wire is made of aluminum alloy. The tensile strength of the conductor wire made of the aluminum alloy is 100-140Mpa, the elongation is more than 20 percent, and the creep resistance is greatly improved compared with that of pure aluminum.
