Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein- und mehradrige isolierte, elektrische Leitungen, insbesondere solche mit einer extrudierten, vernetzten, wärmebeständigen, flammwidrigen Isolation bzw. einem solchen Schutzmantel und einer vorzugsweise im elektrostatischen Pulverbeschichtungsverfahren aufgebrachten äusseren Schutzschicht zur Verbesserung der Widerstandsfähigkeit gegen flüssige Medien und mechanische Beanspruchungen.The invention relates to single and multi-core insulated, electrical lines, in particular those with an extruded, cross-linked, heat-resistant, flame-retardant insulation or such a protective jacket and an outer protective layer, preferably applied in the electrostatic powder coating process, to improve the resistance to liquid media and mechanical stresses.
Im CH-Patent 664.230 ist eine isolierte elektrische Leitung beschrieben, deren innere Isolation aus halogenfreiem, vernetztem Polyolefin-Copolymer und deren äussere Schutzschicht aus einem Polyamid oder einem thermoplastischen halogenfreien Polyesterelastomer oder einem halogenfreien aromatischen Polyäther besteht. Diese äussere Schutzschicht wird im Extrusionsverfahren aufgebracht. Eine innige Verbindung der inneren Isolations- mit der äusseren Schutzschicht besteht nicht. Dies führt zur Faltenbildung der Schutzschicht, wenn die fertige Leitung um kleine Biegeradien gebogen wird, besonders bei Leitungsdurchmessern grösser als 5 mm.CH Patent 664,230 describes an insulated electrical line whose inner insulation consists of halogen-free, crosslinked polyolefin copolymer and whose outer protective layer consists of a polyamide or a thermoplastic halogen-free polyester elastomer or a halogen-free aromatic polyether. This outer protective layer is applied in the extrusion process. There is no intimate connection of the inner insulation layer with the outer protective layer. This leads to wrinkling of the protective layer when the finished The cable is bent around small bending radii, especially for cable diameters larger than 5 mm.
Ferner offenbart FR-A- 2.310.619 ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines isolierten Leiters von besonders kleinem Durchmesser für Telefonleitungen. Dieser Leiter besteht aus einer Seele mit einem inneren Ueberzug aus hitzebeständigem Material, nämlich Holzpulpe oder Papier, und einer äusseren, im Pulverbeschichtungsverfahren geschmolzenen Isolationsschicht aus einem Polymer. Weder das Verfahren noch das Material des inneren Ueberzuges eignen sich zur Herstellung von Leitern grösseren Durchmessers.Furthermore, FR-A-2.310.619 discloses a method for producing an insulated conductor of particularly small diameter for telephone lines. This conductor consists of a core with an inner coating of heat-resistant material, namely wood pulp or paper, and an outer insulation layer made of a polymer melted in the powder coating process. Neither the process nor the material of the inner coating are suitable for the production of conductors of larger diameter.
Ziel der Erfindung ist es, die Nachteile der bekannten doppelschichtig extrudierten Isolationen, nämlich die mangelnde Haftung zwischen der inneren und äusseren Isolationsschicht sowie Faltenbildung der äusseren Schicht bei Biegung um scharfe Kanten, zu beheben. Dies wird dadurch erreicht, dass die beiden Schichten miteinander verschmolzen werden, indem die äussere Schicht im elektrostatischen Pulverbeschichtungsverfahren aufgebracht und unmittelbar danach durch Hitzeeinwirkung, z.B. im Durchlaufofen aufgeschmolzen wird. Dabei entsteht eine innige Verbindung der äusseren Schutzschicht mit der inneren Isllationsschicht, die nur durch Zerstörung einer der beiden Schichten gelöst werden kann. Die Schutzschichtdicke beträgt im allgemeinen 0,05 bis 0,2 mm. Das elektrostatische Pulverbeschichtungsverfahren wurde bisher zum Beschichten von blanken Metallteilen angewendet, unter anderem auch zum Beschichten von Metalldrähten als Korrosionsschutz. Das Aufschmelzen bzw. Aushärten der Pulverschicht erfolgt dabei durch die durch Vorheizen vor dem Beschichten im Werkstück gespeicherte Eigenwärme oder durch Nachheizen des mit Pulver beschichteten Werkstückes. Je nach Zusammensetzung des Pulvers liegen die Schmelz- bzw. Härtetemperaturen zwischen 100 und 300°C.The aim of the invention is to eliminate the disadvantages of the known double-layer extruded insulation, namely the lack of adhesion between the inner and outer insulation layer and the formation of folds in the outer layer when bent around sharp edges. This is achieved in that the two layers are fused to one another by applying the outer layer in an electrostatic powder coating process and immediately afterwards by the action of heat, for example in a continuous furnace. This creates an intimate connection between the outer protective layer and the inner insulation layer, which can only be removed by destroying one of the two layers. The protective layer thickness is generally 0.05 to 0.2 mm. The electrostatic powder coating process has so far been used for coating bare metal parts, among other things also for coating metal wires as corrosion protection. The powder layer is melted or cured by the inherent heat stored in the workpiece by preheating before coating or by post-heating the workpiece coated with powder. Depending on the composition of the powder, the melting or hardening temperatures are between 100 and 300 ° C.

Huber & Suhner AG. für strahlenvernetzte flammwidrige Polyolefin-Copolymere).The preferred insulating materials for the inner insulation layer are radiation-crosslinked plastics made of heat-resistant polyolefin copolymer, for example "Radox" 125 and "Radox" 155.
