【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、水密型架橋ポリエチレン絶縁電線に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
架空線用の架橋ポリエチレン絶縁電線(以下OCと称する)にあっては、端末からの雨水などの進入を防止するために、撚り線導体の隙間に樹脂(以下水密材料と称する)を充填したタイプのものが広く使用されていて、OC−Wと称されている。
【0003】
OC−Wをパーオキサイドを用いた化学架橋で製造する場合は、架橋工程に於いて、電線が高温、高圧に曝されるので、水密材料は、溶融状態で、絶縁体の外部から導体に押し付けられ、撚り線導体の隙間が充分に埋められ、導体との接着性も良くなる。
従って、化学架橋で製造されたOC−Wは、水密性の効果を充分に発揮することができる。
しかし、化学架橋をするためには、高圧設備、加硫管など、大掛かりな設備が必要であり、多額の設備投資が必要である。そこで、より簡易な設備でOC−Wを製造する方法として、シラン架橋方式が採用されるようになってきた。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
シラン架橋方式の場合は、シラン架橋剤入りのポリエチレンを押出し被覆した後、常圧蒸気中または温水中で、前記の押出し被覆したポリエチレンをシラン架橋させることができる。しかし、このことは、逆に言えば、電線が高温、高圧の状態になることがなく、水密材料で撚り線導体の隙間を埋めたり、導体との接着性を良くすることがやりにくくなることを意味する。
OC−Wをシラン架橋方式で製造するには、この点を充分に吟味した上で実施することが必要である。
水密性のみを考慮するのであれば、融点が低く、流動性の大きい樹脂組成物を水密材料に選べば良い。しかし、そういう樹脂組成物を水密材料として用いたOC−Wは、通常、皮剥ぎ性が悪い。すなわち、架線工事の際に端末の絶縁体を剥いで、導体を露出させる処理に大変手間がかかる。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、上述の問題点を解消し、水密性が良く、かつ、皮剥ぎ性にも優れたOC−Wをシラン架橋方式で製造する方法を提供するもので、100%モジュラスが0.6MPa以上、2.7MPa以下の樹脂組成物を水密材料として選んで、撚り線導体の外から圧入し、シラン架橋剤入りポリエチレンを押出し被覆し、温度差(前記の選ばれた水密材料の融点−架橋温度)がゼロ℃以上、30℃以下で、かつ、架橋温度が60℃以上の条件で、前記押出し被覆したポリエチレンを、シラン架橋して、OC−Wを製造することを特徴とする。
【0006】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明にあっては、次のようなプロセスに従って、シラン架橋方式で、OC−Wを製造する。
▲1▼撚り線導体を押出機に供給し、撚り線導体の外から水密材料を圧入する。
▲2▼シラン架橋剤入りのポリエチレンを押出し被覆する。
▲3▼温水または常圧(1気圧以下)の水蒸気中で、前記押出し被覆したポリエチレンを架橋させる。
本願発明者等は、その際、水密材料の100%モジュラス、および、ポリエチレンを架橋する際の架橋温度の両方が、水密性にも、皮剥ぎ性にも大きな影響を及ぼすことを見出した。
【0007】
本発明に於いては、次に挙げるポリマーおよび、それらを相互にブレンドした樹脂組成物の中から100%モジュラス値をキーとして、水密材料を選定し、それを使用することができる。
(1)エチレン酢酸ビニル共重合樹脂(EVA)
(2)エチレン−エチルアクリレート共重合樹脂(EEA)
(3)スチレン系熱可塑性エラストマー
ポリスチレン−ポリブタジエン−ポリスチレン(SBS)
ポリスチレン−ポリイソプレン−ポリスチレン(SIS)
ポリスチレン−ポリ(エチレン−ブチレン)−ポリスチレン(SEBS)
ポリスチレン−ポリ(エチレン−プロピレン)−ポリスチレン(SEPS)
(4)ポリオレフィン系熱可塑性エラストマー
オレフィン系ゴム(EPDMやIIR)と ポリオレフィン樹脂とのブレンド
(5)ポリウレタン系熱可塑性エラストマー(TPU)
(6)ポリエステル系熱可塑性エラストマー(TPEE)
(7)ポリアミド系熱可塑性エラストマー(TPEA)
(8)1,2ポリブタジエン系熱可塑性エラストマー(TPVB)
(9)トランスポリイソプレン系熱可塑性エラストマー(TPI)
(10)フッ素ゴム系熱可塑性エラストマー
(11)アイオノマー系熱可塑性エラストマー
(12)ポリマーアロイ系エラストマー
(13)超低密度ポリエチレン
【0008】
本願発明者等の検討の結果、次のことがわかった。
100%モジュラスが、できるだけ小さい樹脂組成物を水密材料として選定すれば、水密性は良好になる。しかし、100%モジュラスが0.60MPa未満の樹脂組成物を水密材料として使用すると、皮剥ぎ性を実用可能なレベルにすることが著しく困難になる。
一方、100%モジュラスが2.70MPaより大きい樹脂組成物を水密材料として選定すると、水密性を良好にすることが困難である。
【0009】
撚り線導体の外から水密材料を圧入し、シラン架橋剤入りのポリエチレンを絶縁層として押出し被覆した後、温水または常圧の水蒸気中で、絶縁層のポリエチレンを架橋させるが、水密性を良くするには、架橋温度を高くすることが好ましく、皮剥ぎ性を良くするには架橋温度は低い方が好ましい。
また、ポリエチレンの架橋温度を90℃以上とするには、大掛かりな設備が必要であり、ポリエチレンの架橋温度を60℃以下にしたのでは、架橋時間が長くなり過ぎて好ましくない。
本発明者等は、以上のことも考慮し、種々検討した上で、温度差(前記の選ばれた水密材料の融点−架橋温度)がゼロ℃以上、30℃以下で、かつ、架橋温度が60℃以上の条件でポリエチレンを架橋する使用するのが良いことを見出して、本発明を完成した。
【0010】
【実施例】
表1に示したサンプル1〜サンプル8のEEAを、水密材料として使用し、それぞれの水密材料を撚り線導体の外から圧入し、シラン架橋剤入りのポリエチレンを押出し被覆し、次いで、架橋温度を数種類変化させて、押出し被覆したそれぞれのポリエチレンをシラン架橋させ、OC−Wを試作した。そして、試作したそれぞれの電線の水密性、皮剥ぎ性を調査した。
【0011】
【表1】
【0012】
試作した電線の水密性、皮剥ぎ性は、以下に述べるような方法、および判定基準を用いて評価した。
[水密性]
長さ2mの電線の片端に、差圧が0.01気圧になるように水圧を掛け、24時間後の水の進入長を測定し、時間当たりの水の進入速度(mm/H)を求め、これを水密性の指標とし、判定の基準を次の通りとした。( ◎、○、△は実用可能。×は実用できない。)
【0013】
[皮剥ぎ性]
間隔を80cm離して作業台に固定された1対のバイスに、長さ約1mの電線の両端を挟んで、挟まれた電線の中央部を約40cm、専用皮剥工具(GSピラ−古川電機製)で皮剥ぎする。尚、皮剥ぎ時の周囲温度は常温(25±5℃)とする。
そして、皮剥ぎ性の判定基準は次の通りとした。
( ◎、○、△は実用可能。×は実用できない。)
A判定( ◎ ):撚り線導体を構成する複数の導体素線の表面に水密材料の付着がない場合。
B判定( ○ ):水密材料の残りはあるが、導体素線の間のみで、撚り線導体の外接円周を超えて残っていない場合。
C判定( △ ):水密材料が導体素線の撚り溝に、撚り線導体の外接円周を超えて残っている場合。
D判定( × ):水密材料が、皮剥ぎ両端部に連続して、つながって残っている場合。
E判定( × ):水密材料が、撚り線導体の円周方向に幅3mm以上で、残っている場合。
【0014】
試作した電線の水密性、皮剥ぎ性の評価結果を表2に示す。
表2に於いて、サンプルの欄の( )内に示した数字は、それぞれのサンプルの100%モジュラスの値(MPa)を示す。
また、水密材料の融点と架橋温度との温度差は、水密材料の融点から、ポリエチレンの架橋温度を引いて求めたもので、プラスは、水密材料の融点より低い温度でポリエチレンをシラン架橋させることを示し、マイナスは、水密材料の融点より高い温度でポリエチレンをシラン架橋させることを示している。
また、サンプルの100%モジュラスの値(MPa)をX軸にとり、水密材料の融点と架橋温度との温度差をY軸にとって、表2の結果のそれぞれをグラフ上に示すと図1のようになる。
グラフ上の各座標に於いて、当該座標のX値を水密材料の100%モジュラスの値、Y値を温度差(水密材料の融点−架橋温度)としたときの水密性、皮剥ぎ性を調査した結果を示し、上段は水密性の評価結果、下段は皮剥ぎ性の評価結果を示す。
【0015】
【表2】
【0016】
表2および図1に示した水密性、皮剥ぎ性の評価結果から、次のことがわかる。
100%モジュラスが、それぞれ、3.05、3.28MPaのサンプル7、または、サンプル8を水密材料として使用した場合は、いずれも、水密性が実用可能なレベルに達しなかったが、100%モジュラスが0.61〜2.63MPaのサンプル1〜サンプル6のいずれかを水密材料として使用した場合は、いずれも、水密性が良好であり、かつ、温度差(前記の選ばれた水密材料の融点−架橋温度)がゼロ℃以上、30℃以下で、かつ、架橋温度が60℃以上の条件で、ポリエチレンをシラン架橋させることにより、皮剥ぎ性も実用可能なレベルとすることができている。
【0017】
また、水密性、皮剥ぎ性が、共にA判定または、B判定となる、より好ましい場合としては、たとえば、次の場合が挙げられる。
サンプル2、サンプル3、または、サンプル4(100%モジュラスそれぞれ、0.88、1.21、2.26MPa)を水密材料として使用し、選定した水密材料の融点以下の温度で、ポリエチレンをシラン架橋させる場合。
サンプル5(100%モジュラス 2.44MPa)を水密材料として使用し、水密材料の融点と架橋温度との温度差を2〜12℃(架橋温度の方が低温)とした場合。
サンプル6(100%モジュラス 2.63MPa)を水密材料として使用し、水密材料の融点と架橋温度との温度差を2℃(架橋温度の方が低温)とした場合。
図1より、これらのより好ましい場合は、100%モジュラスの値(MPa)と、水密材料の融点と架橋温度との温度差との組み合わせが、P点(2.26,30)、Q点(2.7,0)、R点(0.8,0)、S点(0.8,30)の4点を結んで得られる台形の内部に含まれるX座標とY座標との組み合わせによって示されると言える。
【0018】
以上は、EEAの例について示したが、他の樹脂組成物についても、100%モジュラスが0.6MPa以上、2.7MPa以下のものを水密材料に選び、撚り線導体の外から圧入し、シラン架橋剤入りのポリエチレンを押出し被覆し、前記の選ばれた水密材料の融点以下、60℃以上の温度で、前記押出し被覆したポリエチレンをシラン架橋することにより、水密性が良く、かつ、皮剥ぎ性にも優れたOC−Wを製造することができる。
【0019】
特に、極性を持たない熱可塑性エラストマー(SIS、SEBS、TPO、TPU)は、導体との接着に対して、架橋温度の影響が少ないので、100%モジュラスが前記の範囲のものを選んで水密材料とすれば、EEAよりも広い範囲の架橋温度で、水密性が良く、かつ、皮剥ぎ性にも優れたOC−Wを製造することができるので好ましい。
【0020】
【発明の効果】
100%モジュラスが0.6MPa以上、2.7MPa以下の樹脂組成物を水密材料に選んで、撚り線導体の外から圧入し、シラン架橋剤入りのポリエチレンを押出し被覆し、温度差(前記の選ばれた水密材料の融点−架橋温度)がゼロ℃以上、30℃以下で、かつ、架橋温度が60℃以上の条件で、前記押出し被覆したポリエチレンをシラン架橋して得られるOC−Wは、水密性が良く、かつ、皮剥ぎ性にも優れている。
このように、性能の優れたOC−Wがシラン架橋方式で製造できることは、工業的に大変価値の高いことである。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a watertight cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for overhead wires (hereinafter referred to as OC), a type in which resin (hereinafter referred to as watertight material) is filled in the gaps of the stranded wire conductors in order to prevent rainwater from entering from the terminal. Is widely used and is referred to as OC-W.
[0003]
When OC-W is manufactured by chemical cross-linking using peroxide, the wire is exposed to high temperature and high pressure in the cross-linking step, so the watertight material is pressed against the conductor from the outside of the insulator in the molten state. The gap between the stranded wire conductors is sufficiently filled, and the adhesion to the conductor is improved.
Therefore, OC-W manufactured by chemical cross-linking can fully exhibit the effect of watertightness.
However, in order to perform chemical crosslinking, large-scale facilities such as high-pressure facilities and vulcanized pipes are required, and a large amount of capital investment is required. Therefore, a silane crosslinking method has been adopted as a method for producing OC-W with simpler equipment.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the case of the silane crosslinking method, after extrusion-coating polyethylene containing a silane crosslinking agent, the extrusion-coated polyethylene can be silane-crosslinked in atmospheric steam or warm water. However, conversely, this means that the wires do not become hot and high-pressure, making it difficult to fill the gaps between the stranded conductors with a watertight material or improve the adhesion to the conductors. Means.
In order to produce OC-W by the silane crosslinking method, it is necessary to carry out after thoroughly examining this point.
If only watertightness is considered, a resin composition having a low melting point and high fluidity may be selected as the watertight material. However, OC-W using such a resin composition as a watertight material usually has poor peelability. That is, it takes a lot of work to strip the insulator of the terminal during the construction of the overhead wire and expose the conductor.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, provides a method for producing OC-W having good water tightness and excellent peelability by a silane crosslinking method, and 100% modulus is 0.6 MPa. As described above, a resin composition of 2.7 MPa or less is selected as a watertight material, press-fitted from the outside of the stranded conductor, extrusion-coated with polyethylene containing a silane crosslinking agent, and a temperature difference (melting point-crosslinking of the selected watertight material). The extrusion-coated polyethylene is silane-crosslinked to produce OC-W under the conditions that the temperature is 0 ° C. or higher and 30 ° C. or lower and the crosslinking temperature is 60 ° C. or higher.
[0006]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In the present invention, OC-W is produced by a silane crosslinking method according to the following process.
(1) Supply the stranded wire conductor to an extruder and press-fit a watertight material from the outside of the stranded wire conductor.
(2) Extrusion-coating polyethylene containing a silane crosslinking agent.
(3) The extrusion-coated polyethylene is cross-linked in warm water or steam at normal pressure (1 atm or less).
The inventors of the present application have found that both the 100% modulus of the watertight material and the crosslinking temperature at the time of crosslinking polyethylene have a great influence on the watertightness and the peelability.
[0007]
In the present invention, a watertight material can be selected and used from the following polymers and resin compositions obtained by blending them with each other using the 100% modulus value as a key.
(1) Ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer resin (EVA)
(2) Ethylene-ethyl acrylate copolymer resin (EEA)
(3) Styrenic thermoplastic elastomer polystyrene-polybutadiene-polystyrene (SBS)
Polystyrene-polyisoprene-polystyrene (SIS)
Polystyrene-poly (ethylene-butylene) -polystyrene (SEBS)
Polystyrene-poly (ethylene-propylene) -polystyrene (SEPS)
(4) Polyolefin thermoplastic elastomer Blend of olefin rubber (EPDM or IIR) and polyolefin resin (5) Polyurethane thermoplastic elastomer (TPU)
(6) Polyester thermoplastic elastomer (TPEE)
(7) Polyamide thermoplastic elastomer (TPEA)
(8) 1,2 polybutadiene thermoplastic elastomer (TPVB)
(9) Trans polyisoprene thermoplastic elastomer (TPI)
(10) Fluororubber thermoplastic elastomer (11) Ionomer thermoplastic elastomer (12) Polymer alloy elastomer (13) Ultra low density polyethylene
As a result of studies by the inventors of the present application, the following has been found.
If a resin composition having a 100% modulus as small as possible is selected as the watertight material, the watertightness will be good. However, when a resin composition having a 100% modulus of less than 0.60 MPa is used as a watertight material, it becomes extremely difficult to bring the peelability to a practical level.
On the other hand, when a resin composition having a 100% modulus greater than 2.70 MPa is selected as the watertight material, it is difficult to improve the watertightness.
[0009]
Press-fit a watertight material from the outside of the stranded conductor, and extrude and coat polyethylene containing a silane crosslinker as an insulating layer, then crosslink the polyethylene in the insulating layer in warm water or atmospheric steam, but improve watertightness For this, it is preferable to increase the crosslinking temperature, and in order to improve the peelability, the lower the crosslinking temperature is preferable.
Moreover, in order to set the crosslinking temperature of polyethylene to 90 ° C. or higher, a large-scale facility is required. If the crosslinking temperature of polyethylene is set to 60 ° C. or less, the crosslinking time becomes too long, which is not preferable.
In consideration of the above, the present inventors have conducted various studies, and the temperature difference (the melting point of the selected watertight material—the crosslinking temperature) is not less than 0 ° C. and not more than 30 ° C., and the crosslinking temperature is The present invention has been completed by finding that it is better to use polyethylene cross-linking under conditions of 60 ° C. or higher.
[0010]
【Example】
The EEAs of Sample 1 to Sample 8 shown in Table 1 are used as watertight materials, each watertight material is press-fitted from the outside of the stranded conductor, the polyethylene containing the silane crosslinking agent is extrusion coated, and then the crosslinking temperature is set. Several types were changed, and each extrusion-coated polyethylene was crosslinked with silane to produce OC-W as a prototype. Then, the watertightness and peelability of each prototyped electric wire were investigated.
[0011]
[Table 1]
[0012]
The watertightness and peelability of the prototyped electric wires were evaluated using the methods and criteria described below.
[Watertightness]
Water pressure is applied to one end of a 2 m long wire so that the differential pressure is 0.01 atm. The water entry length after 24 hours is measured, and the water entry speed (mm / H) per hour is obtained. This was used as an indicator of water tightness, and the criteria for determination were as follows. (◎, ○, and △ are practical. × is not practical.)
[0013]
[Skin peelability]
A pair of vices fixed on the workbench with a spacing of 80 cm between both ends of a 1 meter long wire, the center of the sandwiched wire is about 40 cm, and a special stripping tool (GS Pillar-Furukawa Electric) ). In addition, the ambient temperature at the time of skinning shall be room temperature (25 ± 5 ° C.).
The criteria for peelability were as follows.
(◎, ○, and △ are practical. × is not practical.)
A judgment ((double-circle)): When the water-tight material does not adhere to the surface of the some conductor strand which comprises a strand wire conductor.
B determination (O): The case where there is a remainder of the watertight material, but only between the conductor wires, and does not remain beyond the circumscribed circumference of the stranded wire conductor.
C judgment ((triangle | delta)): The watertight material remains in the twist groove | channel of a conductor strand exceeding the circumscribed circumference of a strand wire conductor.
D determination (x): The watertight material is continuously connected to both ends of the skin and remains.
E determination (x): The case where the watertight material remains with a width of 3 mm or more in the circumferential direction of the stranded conductor.
[0014]
Table 2 shows the evaluation results of watertightness and peelability of the prototyped electric wires.
In Table 2, the numbers shown in parentheses in the sample column indicate 100% modulus values (MPa) of the respective samples.
Also, the temperature difference between the melting point of the watertight material and the crosslinking temperature is obtained by subtracting the crosslinking temperature of polyethylene from the melting point of the watertight material. Plus, the polyethylene is silane-crosslinked at a temperature lower than the melting point of the watertight material. The minus sign indicates that polyethylene is silane-crosslinked at a temperature higher than the melting point of the watertight material.
Further, when the value of 100% modulus (MPa) of the sample is taken on the X-axis, the temperature difference between the melting point of the watertight material and the crosslinking temperature is taken on the Y-axis, each result of Table 2 is shown on the graph as shown in FIG. Become.
For each coordinate on the graph, investigate the water tightness and peelability when the X value of the coordinate is the 100% modulus value of the water tight material and the Y value is the temperature difference (melting point of the water tight material-crosslinking temperature). The upper part shows the evaluation result of water tightness, and the lower part shows the evaluation result of peelability.
[0015]
[Table 2]
[0016]
From the evaluation results of water tightness and peelability shown in Table 2 and FIG.
When 100% modulus was 3.05 and 3.28 MPa, respectively, sample 7 or sample 8 was used as a watertight material, the watertightness did not reach a practical level. When any one of Samples 1 to 6 having 0.61 to 2.63 MPa is used as the watertight material, all have good watertightness and a temperature difference (the melting point of the selected watertight material). -Crosslinking temperature) can be brought to a practical level by cross-linking polyethylene with silane under conditions where the cross-linking temperature is 0 ° C. or higher and 30 ° C. or lower and the cross-linking temperature is 60 ° C. or higher.
[0017]
Moreover, as a more preferable case where watertightness and peelability are both determined as A or B, for example, the following cases can be mentioned.
Using sample 2, sample 3, or sample 4 (100% modulus, 0.88, 1.21, 2.26 MPa) as watertight material, polyethylene is silane crosslinked at a temperature below the melting point of the selected watertight material If you want to.
Sample 5 (100% modulus 2.44 MPa) is used as a watertight material, and the temperature difference between the melting point of the watertight material and the crosslinking temperature is 2 to 12 ° C. (crosslinking temperature is lower).
When sample 6 (100% modulus 2.63 MPa) is used as a watertight material and the temperature difference between the melting point of the watertight material and the crosslinking temperature is 2 ° C. (crosslinking temperature is lower).
From FIG. 1, in these more preferable cases, the combination of the value of 100% modulus (MPa) and the temperature difference between the melting point of the watertight material and the crosslinking temperature is P point (2.26, 30), Q point ( 2.7,0), R point (0.8,0), S point (0.8,30) Shown by the combination of X and Y coordinates contained in the trapezoid obtained by connecting four points It can be said that.

The above shows an example of EEA, but also for other resin compositions, those having 100% modulus of 0.6 MPa or more and 2.7 MPa or less are selected as watertight materials, and pressed from outside the stranded conductor, Polyethylene containing a cross-linking agent is extrusion-coated, and the extrusion-coated polyethylene is silane-crosslinked at a temperature below the melting point of the selected water-tight material and at a temperature of 60 ° C. or higher, thereby providing good water-tightness and peelability. In addition, an excellent OC-W can be produced.
[0019]
In particular, non-polar thermoplastic elastomers (SIS, SEBS, TPO, TPU) are less affected by the cross-linking temperature for adhesion to conductors. If so, it is preferable because OC-W can be produced at a cross-linking temperature in a wider range than EEA, with good water tightness and excellent peelability.

【The invention's effect】
A resin composition having a 100% modulus of 0.6 MPa or more and 2.7 MPa or less is selected as a watertight material, press-fitted from the outside of the stranded wire conductor, and extrusion-coated with polyethylene containing a silane cross-linking agent. OC-W obtained by silane crosslinking of the extrusion-coated polyethylene under the conditions that the melting point-crosslinking temperature of the watertight material is 0 ° C. or higher and 30 ° C. or lower and the crosslinking temperature is 60 ° C. or higher is water-tight. It has good properties and excellent peelability.
Thus, it is industrially very valuable that OC-W which was excellent in performance can be manufactured by a silane crosslinking method.
[Brief description of the drawings]
FIG. 1 is a graph in which the value of 100% modulus (MPa) is taken on the X axis and the temperature difference between the melting point of the watertight material and the crosslinking temperature is taken on the Y axis.
For each coordinate on the graph, investigate the water tightness and peelability when the X value of the coordinate is the 100% modulus value of the water tight material and the Y value is the temperature difference (melting point of the water tight material-crosslinking temperature). The upper part shows the evaluation result of water tightness, and the lower part shows the evaluation result of peelability.
