Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of new energy vehicles, in particular to a ceramic fireproof liquid-cooled high-voltage cable for electric vehicles. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of the domestic new energy industry, especially in the field of new energy vehicles, people have become more concerned about the safety of new energy vehicles. The industry's safety requirements have become more stringent. The high-voltage wires in the car, as the connecting blood vessels of new energy vehicles, play a vital role. As a bridge and link for the work of vehicle electrical components, it is the nervous system of vehicle power transmission. It is mainly used to provide power and charging for the vehicle, and to realize the transmission and distribution of automotive electricity. It is an important part connecting battery packs, motors, electronic control systems and charging equipment.

[0003] The high-voltage cables currently used in new energy vehicles are in a state of high voltage, high temperature, and high current as the vehicle is charged and discharged and the power changes during operation. In this state, the insulation material of the cable is always subjected to extremely high temperatures. With long-term high-temperature operation, the insulation of the cable will gradually age, resulting in a reduction in insulation performance, causing the current carrying capacity of the cable to decrease, reducing the kinetic energy of the vehicle's operation, and there is a risk of failure, breakdown, and ignition of the vehicle. If in a continuous flame state, the flame will burn slowly along the direction of the cable, accompanied by a large amount of smoke generated by the combustion.

[0004] As disclosed in Chinese patent CN112331400A, a high-voltage cable for new energy vehicles is provided. The high-voltage cable for new energy vehicles is provided with a silicone rubber insulation layer on the outer surface of the tinned copper stranded conductor, and a tinned copper wire shielding layer is provided on the silicone rubber insulation layer, and a sheath is provided on the tinned copper wire shielding layer, so as to obtain a high-voltage cable body, and the high-voltage cable body is introduced into the cleaning chamber through the left guide frame on the workbench, and the cleaned high-voltage cable body is introduced into the winding frame through the right guide frame, and the high-voltage cable body is wound up by the winding roller on the winding frame to obtain a finished product. In the winding process of the high-voltage cable body, the winding of the cleaned high-voltage cable body is realized by the winding roller 1 on the winding frame. After the winding of the winding roller 1 is completed, the high-voltage cable body is introduced into the winding roller 2 for the high-voltage cable body to be wound again, and the winding roller 1, the winding roller 2 and the winding roller 3 are sequentially wound up on the high-voltage cable body without stopping, so that the winding efficiency of the high-voltage cable body is higher.

[0005] However, the conductor used in the high-voltage cable for new energy vehicles is a single pure copper or tin-plated copper structure. Under high temperature environment, the DC resistance increases and the current carrying capacity decreases. Its insulation layer and sheath layer are a single plastic structure. When the flame is burning, it will continue to burn and produce a large amount of black gas.

[0006] To this end, we proposed a ceramic fireproof liquid-cooled high-voltage cable for electric vehicles to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0009] The shielding layer is made of oxygen-free metal copper wire with tin-plated surface. The purity of copper material is required to be above 99.99%. A braided layer is arranged inside the shielding layer and a layer of aluminum-plastic composite tape is wrapped around the outside of the braided layer. The shielding layer is composed of the braided layer and the braided copper wire. The shielding adopts a weaving process, the braided wire is 0.21 mm, and the weaving density is 85%.

[0010] Preferably, the insulating layer is made of ceramic polyolefin material or ceramic silicone rubber material of corresponding temperature grade, and adopts extrusion process to ensure the roundness of the sheath, with an outer diameter between 14.5 and 15.5 mm, the thinnest point is 1.04 mm, and the insulation concentricity requirement is ≥70%.

[0011] Preferably, the central structure of the conductor is a cooling tube, and the copper wires are twisted in the outer layer of the cooling tube and twisted together with the copper wires to form a liquid-cooled conductor.

[0012] Preferably, the hollow tube is fixedly installed inside the conductor.

[0013] Preferably, the cooling tube of the conductor center structure is made of polyurethane material.

[0014] Preferably, the sheath layer is made of ceramic polyolefin material or ceramic silicone rubber material of corresponding temperature grade, and adopts extrusion process, with concentricity ≥70%, and is extruded through special heterogeneous die. The outer diameter of the expanded sheath layer is between 18.5 and 19.5 mm, and its thickness is between 1.0 mm and 1.5 mm.

[0015] Preferably, the oxygen-free metal copper material of the conductor is generally bare copper, and the purity is required to be above 99.99%. The conductor adopts a regular twisted structure in which the number of copper wires is between 45 and 500, and the single wire diameter is.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0017] 1. The ceramic fireproof liquid-cooled high-voltage cable for electric vehicles can effectively reduce the temperature of the conductor while ensuring the flexibility of the original conductor by adding a cooling tube made of polyurethane material in the center of the conductor, thereby achieving a smaller conductor cross-section, lower cable cost and smaller size.

The combined use can increase the current carrying capacity of the cable. When the cable is under a 600°C flame, a hard ceramic hard protective layer will be formed. The insulation electrical performance is further improved, and the erosion of the flame can be further isolated, thereby ensuring that the car can transmit electrical energy in the event of a fire, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the new energy vehicle functions and the personal safety of the people in the car.
