Description

  The present invention relates to an outdoor power cable terminal and a waterproofing method for an outdoor power cable terminal, and more particularly to an outdoor power cable terminal and a waterproofing method for an outdoor power cable terminal that can be applied to a high voltage.

  Outdoor type power cable terminals have rubber plug terminals, which have been used for power distribution applications up to 33 kV, but have not been used at high voltages of 66 kV or higher. It was. This rubber insertion terminal is different from conventional cable insulators that use polymer insulator pipes coated with rubber on porcelain insulators and FRP (fiber reinforced plastic) pipes. Since it does not have a certain structure, it bends due to the influence of wind and temperature changes.

  When a high voltage of 66 kV or higher is reached, the power cable becomes thick, and the power cable becomes difficult to bend due to an increase in the thickness of the anticorrosion layer of the power cable. In particular, when there is a metal cover (metal tape, aluminum corrugate, etc.), since the metal tape or aluminum corrugate is hard, the anticorrosion layer of the power cable is more difficult to bend.

FIG. 8 shows an example of the structure of a conventional outdoor type power cable terminal, in which an insulating tape 104 is wound from the extension 101 of the rubber insertion terminal 100 to the anticorrosion layer 103 of the power cable 102. In addition, the outdoor type power cable terminal includes an electric field control element 105, a metal mesh tape 106, a cable outer conductive layer 107, an outer semiconductive tape layer 108, and an aluminum coating 109.
In addition, after silicone rubber has become widely known for its excellent water repellency and water repellency, the silicone rubber will be used as a material for the outer skin of high-voltage cables. It has become to.

As for the related technology of the power cable terminal, Patent Document 1 shows the processing of the power cable terminal having a pleat, on the surface of the terminal body corresponding to the end of the outer semiconductive layer of the pleat cable and the semiconductive tape. By being provided, the surface pressure generated at the end portion of the cable outer semiconductive layer and the end portion of the semiconductive tape is increased and formed at the end portion of the cable outer semiconductive layer and the end portion of the semiconductive tape. The gap is reduced. Moreover, in patent document 2, the process of the power cable terminal is shown and the protection tube is arrange | positioned at the power cable sheath, the cable insulator, and the cable conductor.

However, in the above-described conventional example, when the rubber insertion terminal 100 is bent, a deviation easily occurs between the anticorrosion layer 103 of the power cable 102 which is difficult to bend and the rubber insertion terminal 100 which is easy to bend. There was a problem that the insulating tape 104 wound between the plug-in terminal 100 and the anticorrosion layer 103 was peeled off and the waterproofing could not be maintained.
Further, due to the vibration or repeated bending of the rubber insertion terminal 100, the insulating tape 104 may be damaged due to the movement of the end portion of the metal tape or the aluminum corrugate, and the waterproofing may not be maintained.

In addition, silicone rubber is difficult to adhere to the insulation tape used in the past, and it is also a factor that deteriorates the waterproof performance. When the waterproof performance is reduced, the moisture penetrates into the rubber insertion terminal, insulating it. There was a possibility of destruction.
In the power cable terminals of Patent Literature 1 and Patent Literature 2, waterproof performance is not particularly considered.
Accordingly, in order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention aims to provide an outdoor type power cable terminal and a waterproof treatment method that can maintain a waterproof property by absorbing a gap between the terminal and the anticorrosion layer of the power cable. And

Out.

Next, the structure of the region R shown in FIG. 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
3 is an axial cross-sectional view showing an enlarged region R of the terminal connection portion of the power cable shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 3, the other end portion 22 of the electric field control element 20 protrudes from the second inlet end 11B of the end portion 9 of the extension portion 7 in the L1 direction. Is provided with a cable outer semiconductive layer 23. An external semiconductive tape layer 24 is disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the cable external semiconductive layer 23.

  An aluminum coating 25 is disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the external semiconductive tape layer 24, and an anticorrosion layer 18 is disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the aluminum coating 25. A tin-plated copper mesh tape 27 and a semiconductive tape 28 cover the outer peripheral surface of the other end 22 of the electric field control element 20, the cable external semiconductive layer 23, the external semiconductive tape layer 24, and the aluminum coating 25. . A tin-plated copper mesh tape 27 is connected to the outer peripheral surface of the aluminum coating 25 by a soldering portion 29B.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the tube 30 is placed over the end 29 of the anticorrosion layer 18 from an intermediate position of the extension 7 of the insertion terminal 3. That is, one end portion 31 of the tube 30 reaches an intermediate position of the extension portion 7 of the insertion terminal 3, and the other end portion 32 of the tube 30 is located at the end portion 29 of the anticorrosion layer 18.

Or, for example, the inner diameter is made equal to the outer diameter of the cable outer semiconductive layer 23 part, the diameter-expanded member inserted is expanded, moved to a predetermined portion, and then contracted by pulling the diameter-expanded member (It is called normal temperature shrinkage.)

FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of the structure shown in FIG.
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the insulating tape 40 is disposed across the one end 31 of the tube 30 and the extension 7 of the insertion terminal 3. The insulating tape 40 is an adhesive tape having, for example, a silicone-based adhesive layer, and can obtain a stronger adhesive force with respect to silicone rubber than a conventionally used insulating tape. A putty tape 41 is disposed between the insulating tape 40 and one end 31 of the tube 30. The putty tape 41 is wound around the one end portion 31 of the tube 30 and the extended portion 7 of the insertion terminal 3. Thereby, it can prevent that water permeates between the one end part 31 of the tube 30 and the extension part 7 of the insertion terminal 3 from the outside. Furthermore, since the insulating tape 40 is wound around the putty tape 41 so as to cover the putty tape 41, water enters from between the one end 31 of the tube 30 and the extended portion 7 of the insertion terminal 3 from the outside. This can be prevented more reliably.

  Similarly, the insulating tape 50 is disposed across the other end portion 32 of the tube 30 and the end portion 29 of the anticorrosion layer 18. The insulating tape 50 is an adhesive tape having, for example, a silicone-based adhesive layer. A putty tape 51 is disposed between the insulating tape 50 and the other end 32 of the tube 30. The putty tape 51 is wound around the other end portion 32 of the tube 30 and the end portion 29 of the anticorrosion layer 18. Thereby, it is possible to prevent water from entering between the other end portion 32 of the tube 30 and the end portion 29 of the anticorrosion layer 18 from the outside. Further, since the insulating tape 50 is wound around the putty tape 51 so as to cover the putty tape 51, water enters between the other end 32 of the tube 30 and the end 29 of the anticorrosion layer 18 from the outside. This can be prevented more reliably.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 5-7, the assembly method of the outdoor type | mold electric power cable terminal 1 mentioned above is demonstrated.
5A shows a state in which the power cable 2 has been stripped, and FIG. 5B shows a state in which the conductor shaft portion is fixed to the cable conductor of the power cable 2. .

As shown in FIG. 5B, a conductor shaft portion 15 is attached to the cable conductor 12.

FIG. 6 is a view showing a state in which the insertion terminal 3 is inserted into the cable insulation coating 13 and the cable outer semiconductive layer 23 of the power cable 2 shown in FIG. 5.
As shown in FIG. 6, the insertion terminal 3 is inserted into the cable insulation coating 13 of the power cable 2 shown in FIG. As a result, the conductor shaft portion 15 protrudes from the first inlet end 11 of the insertion terminal 3 along the L2 direction, and the one end portion 22 of the electric field control element 20 and the cable outer semiconductive layer 23 are connected to the second inlet of the insertion terminal 3. It protrudes from the end 12 along the L1 direction.

FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the tube 30 is further disposed and the insertion terminal 3 is waterproofed.
The tube 30 shown in FIG. 7 is held in advance through the anticorrosion layer 18 of the power cable 2, and by moving the tube 30 along the L2 direction, the tube 30 is inserted as shown in FIG. 3 over the end 29 of the anticorrosion layer 18 from the middle position of the extended portion 7. That is, one end portion 31 of the tube 30 is positioned at an intermediate position of the extension portion 7 of the insertion terminal 3, the other end portion 32 of the tube 30 is positioned at the end portion 29 of the anticorrosion layer 18, and the tube 30 is connected to the extension portion 7. A portion, one end 22 of the electric field control element 20, the cable outer semiconductive layer 23, the outer semiconductive tape layer 24, the aluminum coating 25, and the end 29 of the anticorrosion layer 18 are covered.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 3, the putty tape 41 is wound around the one end portion 31 of the tube 30 and the extended portion 7 of the insertion terminal 3. Thereby, it can prevent that water permeates between the one end part 31 of the tube 30 and the extension part 7 of the insertion terminal 3 from the outside. Further, the insulating tape 40 is wound around the putty tape 41 so as to cover the putty tape 41. Thereby, it can prevent more reliably that water permeates between the one end part 31 of the tube 30 and the extension part 7 of the insertion terminal 3 from the outside.

  Similarly, the putty tape 51 is wound around the other end portion 32 of the tube 30 and the end portion 29 of the anticorrosion layer 18. Thereby, it is possible to prevent water from entering between the other end portion 32 of the tube 30 and the end portion 29 of the anticorrosion layer 18 from the outside. Further, since the insulating tape 50 is wound around the putty tape 51 so as to cover the putty tape 51, water can enter from between the other end 32 of the tube 30 and the end 29 of the anticorrosion layer 18 from the outside. Furthermore, it can prevent reliably.

  In the embodiment of the present invention, the tube 30 is placed between the insertion terminal 3 made of silicone rubber and the anticorrosion layer 18 of the power cable, so that the anticorrosion layer 18 and the insertion terminal 3 formed when the insertion terminal 3 is bent. The gap between them can be absorbed by this tube 30.

  As the tube, it is desirable to use a heat-shrinkable tube made of silicone rubber (for example, ST-DG made of Shin-Etsu Silicone) which is elastic, soft and excellent in weather resistance. The tube may be a heat-shrinkable tube made of polyethylene or the like, and a thin tube having a thickness of about 1 to 2 mm (for example, FPCO lapco tube) may be used.

Waterproofing between the insertion end 3 made of silicone rubber and the end of the tube 30 is sufficiently performed by an insulating tape having a silicone-based adhesive layer (for example, polyester film tape No. 646S manufactured by Teraoka Seisakusho). Sex can be secured.
In addition, the tube may have a streak formed along the longitudinal direction of the tube at the time of molding, and moisture may enter through a minute gap generated between the streak and the tape. In order to prevent the intrusion of moisture, the end of the tube is wrapped with a putty tape, and an insulating tape 40 such as an adhesive tape is wrapped around the putty tape so as to cover the putty tape, thereby ensuring a waterproof treatment. can do.

  In the embodiment of the present invention, even when the insertion terminal 3 made of silicone rubber is applied to high voltage power transmission of, for example, 66 kV or higher, the sheath portion of the power cable Even when a deviation occurs between the insertion terminal 3 and the insertion terminal 3, this deviation can be absorbed by the shrinkable tube 30. Furthermore, since the insulation between the tube 30 and the insertion terminal 3 is waterproofed using the insulating tape 40 having an adhesive layer made of silicone rubber, the adhesiveness between the tube 30 and the insertion terminal 3 can be secured stably. Can ensure excellent waterproof performance over a long period of time.

  In the outdoor type power cable terminal of the present invention, it is arranged by passing through the terminal connection portion of the power cable, and the first inlet end passing through the conductor shaft portion of the power cable and the second inlet end passing through the outer semiconductive layer of the power cable. And a waterproof tube that covers from the second inlet end to the end of the anticorrosion layer of the power cable. As a result, the tube can be kept waterproof by absorbing the gap between the anticorrosive layer and the insertion terminal that occurs when the insertion terminal is bent.

Moreover, the insulating tape which has a silicone type adhesion layer is wound over the edge part of a tube, and the terminal of an electric power cable. Thereby, since it can prevent that an insulating tape peels, the waterproofing between the edge part of a tube and the terminal of an electric power cable is securable.
An insulating tape having a silicone-based adhesive layer is wound around the end of the tube so as to cover the putty tape across the end of the tube and the end of the power cable. Thereby, the waterproofing between the edge part of a tube and the terminal of an electric power cable is further securable.

  The tube is a shrinkable tube made of silicone rubber. Accordingly, the tube has excellent water repellency and high water repellency restoring ability. Further, the tube 30 is made of a material so as to have heat shrinkability, moved to a predetermined portion, and then contracted by applying heat. Or, for example, the inner diameter is made equal to the outer diameter of the cable outer semiconductive layer 23 part, the diameter-expanded member inserted is expanded, moved to a predetermined portion, and then contracted by pulling the diameter-expanded member (It is called normal temperature shrinkage.)
