The utility model provides a superconducting cable skeleton and a superconducting cable, the superconducting cable skeleton comprises at least one layer of spiral skeleton, at least the outermost layer of spiral skeleton is formed by spirally twisting a strip-shaped
metal plate, and at least one layer of spiral skeleton is provided with a
cooling medium channel which spirally penetrates through the spiral skeleton along the spiral direction. The spiral framework can guarantee certain supporting performance, has sufficient flexibility and elasticity, and can be repeatedly bent. When the superconducting cable framework needs to be bent, the gaps on the spiral framework can provide enough bending space, and then the requirement for high flexibility is met. Meanwhile, at least one layer of spiral framework is provided with a
cooling medium channel which spirally penetrates through the spiral framework in the spiral direction, and a
cooling medium is introduced to provide stable cold conduction for the superconducting tape. After the superconducting tape is wound outside the superconducting cable skeleton, internal cold conduction is not affected, external cold conduction is not needed, and the compactness and the application environment applicability of the cable are improved.
