Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of cable technology, and in particular relates to an artificial intelligence-based cable energy-saving system. Background Technology

[0002] Cables are composed of single or multiple strands of conductors and insulation layers. They are used to connect circuits, electrical appliances, etc. Cables have a wide range of influence in various fields and are the most basic circuit connection accessories in modern times. The selection and installation of cables are directly related to energy conservation.

[0003] During cable selection, most on-site staff calculate current based on load, and cable cross-section is usually selected after current calculation. However, in actual applications, the temperature of a cable increases due to factors such as current magnitude, energizing time, and external environment. The core temperature of a typical cable generally does not exceed 70℃; below 70℃, stable and safe operation is generally guaranteed. However, as the core temperature increases, its resistance also increases, leading to higher power loss. This is detrimental to energy conservation. Furthermore, with heat accumulation and the influence of high-temperature external environments, the safe and stable operation of the cable cannot be guaranteed. Increased heat also accelerates the aging and cracking of the cable insulation, resulting in a shorter overall cable lifespan, higher cable investment, and is also detrimental to resource conservation. Therefore, we propose an artificial intelligence-based cable energy-saving system to address these issues. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Preferably, the air intake end of the air intake pipe extends into the ground.

[0008] Preferably, the forced cooling component includes an aluminum box embedded in the ground, with the ends of the air inlet pipes penetrating the side walls of the aluminum box.

[0010] Preferably, the distance between the opposite ends of two adjacent heat insulation sleeves is set within the range of 5.0m to 5.5m.

[0011] Preferably, an airbag sleeve is fixedly provided between each two adjacent heat insulation sleeves. The side wall of each airbag sleeve near the cable is set in an inward arc shape.

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of an AI-based cable energy-saving system are:

[0016] 1. Through the coordinated arrangement of the heat insulation sleeve, insulating sleeve, fixing ring, aluminum sleeve, methanol liquid, expansion triggering mechanism, connecting pipe, housing, fan, and air inlet pipe, the protection effect of the cable can be increased by covering the cable with a heat insulation sleeve and an insulating sleeve. Then, the expansion of methanol at its boiling point of 64.8℃ can automatically trigger the cooling of the cable. Thus, the heat of the cable can be reduced by using a fan with a small amount of energy consumption. On the one hand, reducing the heat can reduce the power consumption of the cable, saving a lot of electricity. On the other hand, it can slow down the aging of the cable insulation layer due to high temperature, thereby extending the service life of the cable, reducing the investment cost of the cable, and indirectly reducing resource consumption.

[0017] 2. By using the forced cooling component, the cable can be forced to cool down according to the methanol expansion pressure when the temperature is too high, thereby avoiding the cracking of the current insulation layer caused by continuous high temperature and improving the safety of cable operation.

[0018] 3. By combining the airbag sleeve, the first conductive coating, the second conductive coating, and the alarm components, a pre-alarm warning can be issued for cable insulation damage based on the airflow delivered during cooling, thereby reducing the possibility of cable insulation damage.

[0026] The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0027] Example 1:

[0028] like Figure 1-6 As shown, an artificial intelligence-based cable energy-saving system includes a cable 1, with a heat insulation sleeve 2 sleeved on the outside of the cable 1. The distance between the opposite ends of two adjacent heat insulation sleeves 2 is set within the range of 5.0m to 5.5m. An insulating sleeve 3 is fixedly connected to each of the two adjacent heat insulation sleeves 2 located on the outside of the cable 1. A fixing ring 4 is integrally provided at both ends of the inner wall of each heat insulation sleeve 2. The gap between the inner wall of each fixing ring 4 and the outer wall of the cable 1 is set within the range of 1.0cm to 2.0cm.

[0029] An aluminum sleeve 5 is fixedly installed between two fixed rings 4 on the same side. The outer side of each aluminum sleeve 5 and the two fixed rings 4 and the heat insulation sleeve 2 on the same side are filled with methanol liquid 6. An expansion triggering mechanism 7 is connected between each heat insulation sleeve 2 and the methanol liquid 6 on the same side. A connecting pipe 8 is fixedly inserted into the lower end of the side wall of one of the insulating sleeves 3. A housing 9 is fixedly installed at the air inlet end of the connecting pipe 8. The housing 9 is located on the ground. A fan 10 is fixedly installed inside the housing 9. An air inlet pipe 11 is fixedly connected to the air inlet end of the housing 9. A forced cooling component 12 that cooperates with the expansion triggering mechanism 7 is installed on the air inlet pipe 11. The air inlet end of the air inlet pipe 11 extends into the ground. By extending the air inlet pipe 11 into the ground, the low temperature environment of the underground soil layer can be used to cool the cable 1, thereby avoiding the influence of the high temperature of the ground air environment.

[0030] The expansion triggering mechanism 7 includes a cylinder 71 fixedly inserted into the outer wall of the heat insulation sleeve 2. A piston 72 is slidably connected inside the cylinder 71. An insulating block 73 is fixedly provided at the upper end of the piston 72, and a conductive block 74 is connected to the side wall of the insulating block 73. An insulating pad 75 is fixedly provided at the inner top of the cylinder 71, and a resistance rod 76 corresponding to the position of the conductive block 74 is fixedly provided at the lower end of the insulating pad 75. The resistance rod 76 is electrically connected to the fan 10. A first spring 77 is fixedly provided between the lower end of the piston 72 and the outer wall of the aluminum sleeve 5 on the same side. When the piston 72 is pushed upward by the boiling vaporization of the methanol liquid 6, it can push the piston 72 to move upward, which can then drive the insulating block 73 and the conductive block 74 to move. After the conductive block 74 contacts the resistance rod 76, the fan 10 can be energized and operated. The higher the position of the conductive block 74 on the resistance rod 76, the greater the current flowing into the fan 10, and the greater the air volume generated by the fan 10.

[0031] Each insulating block 73 has an elastic rubber pad 13 fixedly installed on the upper side wall, and each conductive block 74 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the elastic rubber pad 13 on the same side. The elastic rubber pad 13 can compensate for the wear of the conductive block 74.

[0032] Among them, the fan 10 is selected with a power of SF-76PZ04 and a power (W) of 370W. When it starts working, the calculation formula is: I1 (power consumption) = 370 × h (contact time between conductive block 74 and resistor rod 76) / 1000 watts;

[0033] Resistance value of cable 1 upon temperature rise:

[0034] R = R1 × K × L / 1000 (R represents the resistance value when the temperature rises, R1 is the resistance value of the first core of the cable at 20℃, K is a coefficient, and L is the length of the cable).

[0035] The line loss of cable 1 = I × 3R × T × 0.001 (I is the standard current carrying capacity of cable 1, and T is the energizing time);

[0036] Based on this, by using the fan 10 to dissipate heat, the area around the cable can be kept at a lower temperature. Compared with no cooling measures, this can save a lot of electricity. The actual electricity savings should take into account the power consumption of the fan 10.

[0037] Example 2:

[0038] The forced cooling assembly 12 includes an aluminum box 121 embedded in the ground. The ends of the air inlet pipe 11 penetrate the side walls of the aluminum box 121. Semiconductor coolers 122 are fixedly inserted into both the upper and lower ends of the aluminum box 121. A microcontroller 123 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the aluminum box 121. Pressure sensors 124, corresponding to the positions of insulating blocks 73, are fixedly installed on the end faces of each insulating pad 75, and each pressure sensor 124 is connected to the microcontroller 123. The microcontroller 123 is electrically connected to two semiconductor coolers 122. A guide pipe 125 is fixedly inserted into the side wall of 121, and the air inlet end of the guide pipe 125 is located above the ground. As the temperature accumulates and increases, the insulating block 73 will squeeze the pressure sensor 124. At this time, the microcontroller 123 receives the signal and can control the two semiconductor coolers 122 to be powered on. The current flowing into the two semiconductor coolers 122 is P×50 (P is the pressure value of the pressure sensor). That is, the appropriate amount of electricity can be supplied according to the top pressure of the actual temperature expansion, so as to avoid cooling waste and reduce energy consumption.

[0039] Example 3:

[0040] An airbag sleeve 14 is fixedly installed between each two adjacent heat insulation sleeves 2. The side wall of each airbag sleeve 14 near the cable 1 is set in an inward arc shape. The side wall of each airbag sleeve 14 away from the cable 1 is coated with a first conductive coating 15. The inner wall of the insulating sleeve 3 located inside each airbag sleeve 14 is coated with a second conductive coating 16. The housing 9 is equipped with an alarm component connected to the first conductive coating 15 and the second conductive coating 16. When the outside of the insulating sleeve 3 is damaged, the probability of the outer sheath of the cable 1 being damaged increases. Then, during cooling, due to the damage to the side wall of the insulating sleeve 3, the air between the airbag sleeve 14 and the insulating sleeve 3 can be squeezed out when subjected to airflow, so that the first conductive coating 15 and the second conductive coating 16 can come into contact and be energized, so as to provide a damage warning.

[0041] The alarm assembly includes an electromagnet 17 fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the housing 9, and the electromagnet 17 is connected to the first conductive coating 15 and the second conductive coating 16. An iron plate 18 is movably mounted inside the housing 9, and a U-shaped insulating rod 19 is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the iron plate 18. An insulating strip 20 is fixedly mounted inside the housing 9, and copper blocks 21 are fixedly mounted on the rod walls of both the insulating strip 20 and the U-shaped insulating rod 19. An alarm connected to the copper blocks 21 should be mounted on the outside of the housing 9. The alarm can be a wireless alarm or an audible and visual alarm. When the first conductive coating 15 and the second conductive coating 16 are energized, the electromagnet 17 can attract the iron plate 18, which can then drive the U-shaped insulating rod 19, causing the two copper blocks 21 to contact each other, thereby activating the alarm connected to the copper blocks 21 to sound an alarm.

[0042] A set of guide rods 22 are fixedly installed inside the housing 9, and the rod wall of each guide rod 22 is slidably connected to the side wall of the iron plate 18. A set of second springs 23 are fixedly installed between the side wall of the iron plate 18 and the inner wall of the housing 9. With this arrangement, the iron plate 18 can automatically move back to its original position after the electromagnet 17 is de-energized.

[0043] The operating principle of this invention is described as follows: Before the cable 1 is installed, the heat insulation sleeves 2 and insulating sleeves 3 are fitted onto the outside of the cable 1. When the cable 1 is in operation, the cable 1 itself begins to heat up due to resistance, external environment, etc. As the heat accumulates, when the temperature reaches about 65°C, the methanol liquid 6 begins to boil and vaporize. At this time, the internal pressure increases, which can push the piston 72 to move upward, thereby driving the insulating block 73 and the conductive block 74 to move. After the conductive block 74 contacts the resistance rod 76, the fan 10 can be energized and operated, so that the air can be supplied to the insulating block 73 through the housing 9, the inlet pipe 11 and the connecting pipe 8. Cold air is supplied between the insulation sleeve 3 and the cable 1. The cold air can conduct away the accumulated heat and cool down the cable 1. This not only reduces the energy consumption of the cable 1 caused by temperature rise, but also improves the operational safety of the cable 1, extends the service life of the cable 1, indirectly saves resources and reduces costs. As the expansion of the methanol liquid 6 increases, the position of the conductive block 74 on the resistor rod 76 becomes higher. At this time, due to the decrease in resistance, the current flowing into the fan 10 can increase, the airflow generated is larger, and the heat dissipation efficiency is higher. Thus, heat dissipation can be self-regulated based on temperature.

[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
