Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of cable manufacturing technology for new energy vehicle charging piles, specifically relating to a DC charging pile fast-charging liquid-cooled cable and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] In the existing technology, with the rapid development of lithium battery technology, new energy vehicles are now widely used. With the significant increase in the demand for cables for new energy vehicles, in order to ensure the driving safety and charging safety of new energy vehicles, the requirements for the heat dissipation of cables for new energy vehicle charging piles are becoming increasingly higher.
[0003] Compared with traditional vehicles, new energy vehicles have advantages such as strong power, low cost, and energy saving and environmental protection. However, the development of new energy vehicles is limited by their low charging efficiency. To solve the problem of charging time for new energy vehicles, it is necessary to design and develop high-power charging cables. However, in actual implementation, conventional high-power charging pile cables have large outer diameters and high weight. During the high-power fast charging process of new energy vehicles, the cable cores heat up severely, resulting in low current carrying capacity and easy short circuits, which can cause fires and greatly limit the charging efficiency of new energy vehicles. In existing technologies, the temperature rise is often reduced by further increasing the cross-section of the cable. On the one hand, this increases the amount of conductor used, raising manufacturing costs. On the other hand, it significantly increases the weight of the cable, making it inconvenient for users. Therefore, improvements are urgently needed. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the technical problems in the prior art where high-power charging pile cables have large outer diameters and high weights, making them inconvenient for female users, and where the cable cores overheat during high-power fast charging of new energy vehicles, easily causing short circuits and posing a fire hazard, this application proposes a DC charging pile fast-charging liquid-cooled cable. To further address the technical problems provided in this application, this application also provides a method for preparing the DC charging pile fast-charging liquid-cooled cable.
[0005] This application adopts the following scheme: a DC charging pile fast charging liquid-cooled cable includes a conductor, an outer sheath covering the outer periphery of the conductor, and a sheath covering the outer sheath. The conductor is formed by twisting together multiple conductors, a liquid cooling assembly, and a temperature measuring signal line. Each conductor is covered with an inner sheath. The liquid cooling assembly includes a main cooling pipe covering the outer periphery of the inner sheath and secondary cooling pipes arranged at intervals along the circumference of the conductor. Coolant is disposed in the main cooling pipe and the secondary cooling pipes. The liquid cooling assembly is used to reduce the temperature inside the conductor, and the temperature measuring signal line is used to measure the internal temperature of the conductor.
[0006] Furthermore, the main cooling pipe is made of polytetrafluoroethylene, the auxiliary cooling pipe is made of the same material as the main cooling pipe, the diameter of the main cooling pipe is larger than the diameter of the auxiliary cooling pipe, and the flow rate of the coolant in the main cooling pipe / auxiliary cooling pipe is 0.8-1.8 bar.
[0007] Furthermore, the coolant is soft water or a mixture of soft water and ethylene glycol at a mass ratio of 10:1.5. By adding ethylene glycol to the soft water, on the one hand, the heat transfer medium in the soft water can be increased, further improving the heat transfer efficiency of the main and auxiliary liquid cooling pipes. On the other hand, it can prevent internal corrosion of the main and auxiliary cooling pipes and reduce scale formation.
[0008] Furthermore, the outer diameter R and inner diameter r of the main cooling pipe / the auxiliary cooling pipe satisfy the following relationship: 2r≤R≤4r.
[0009] Furthermore, the space between the outer cladding and the core is filled with a thermally conductive filler, which is composed of the following components by weight: 15-18 parts of α-alumina, 5-12 parts of magnesium oxide, 3-5 parts of aluminum nitride, 3-5 parts of boron nitride, 5-10 parts of carbon powder, 3-5 parts of glass fiber, 1-3 parts of flocculent asbestos, and 10-15 parts of titanate coupling agent.
[0010] Furthermore, the conductor is a Class VI copper conductor, which is formed by twisting multiple copper wires twice, with the diameter of the copper wires used for twisting being 0.1-0.25 mm.
[0011] Furthermore, the pitch ratio of the copper wire in the first stranding process is 30 times, and the direction of the first stranding is to the left. The pitch ratio of the copper wire in the second stranding is 12 times, and the direction of the second stranding is the same as that of the first stranding. By using an active pay-off frame for stranding, the pay-off tension of each copper wire is controlled consistently to prevent conductor jumps in the stranded wires and avoid inconsistent tension during stranding. By using a cage stranding machine, the de-twist ratio during stranding is 100%, which completely releases the internal stress of the conductor and ensures the service life of the conductor.
[0012] Furthermore, the inner cladding is made of a low-density ablation material, and the outer cladding is made of the same material as the inner cladding.
[0013] The low-density ablation material, by weight, comprises the following components: 200-220 parts EPDM rubber, 80-100 parts nitrile rubber, 15-25 parts inorganic flame retardant, 50-55 parts resin, 10-15 parts asbestos, 30-40 parts reinforcing agent, 4-6 parts softener, 17-20 parts inorganic filler, 15-20 parts vulcanizing agent, and 4-5 parts accelerator.
[0014] Furthermore, the preparation method of the low-density ablation material includes the following steps:
[0015] Step 101. Ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber and nitrile rubber are sequentially fed into a screw plasticizer and plasticized at 60-72℃ and 700-1100rpm for 1-2 hours. Then, the mixture is transferred to a disperser and blended at room temperature and 1000-1100rpm for 20-40 minutes to obtain the reaction precursor.
[0016] Step 102. Transfer the reaction precursor prepared in step 101 to a screw mixer. Add asbestos, resin, inorganic flame retardant, inorganic filler, reinforcing agent and softener to the mixer in sequence. Mix for 30-50 minutes at 90-110℃ and 1200-1500rpm. After the initial mixing is completed, add vulcanizing agent and accelerator to the mixer at once. After thorough thin-passing at 110-125℃ and 1400-1600rpm, extrude and cure to obtain the final product.
[0017] Furthermore, the resin is one or a mixture of more than one of the following: polysiloxane resin, bisphenol A type epoxy resin, polyurethane resin, and acrylic resin.
[0018] Furthermore, the overlap rate of the inner wrapping layer A satisfies the following conditions: A≥50%, and even further, A=60%. By controlling the overlap rate of the inner wrapping layer, the thickness of the inner wrapping layer is reduced, ensuring its insulation and flame retardancy while improving its heat dissipation performance.
[0019] Furthermore, the density of the low-density ablation material is 0.93 g / cm³. 3 By compounding various rubbers and resins, its bending strength can reach 1000MPa. When it is wrapped on cables or conductors, the creep of the inner / outer wrapping is very small and it has high tensile strength, which can meet the requirements of charging pile cables for flexibility and flame retardancy.
[0020] Furthermore, the temperature measuring signal line is braided from tin-plated copper wire with a braiding pitch of 45-48mm and a braiding density of ≥95%.
[0021] To address the technical problems raised in this application, this application also proposes a method for preparing a fast-charging liquid-cooled cable for a DC charging pile, comprising the following steps:
[0022] Step 201. Conductor preparation: After arranging the bundled copper wire units in a regular 1+6 pattern, use a cage stranding machine to strand them into a prefabricated conductor in one step, and then strand the prefabricated conductor into a conductor in a second step.
[0023] Step 202. Preparation of wrapped extrusion material: The rubber reaction precursor, inorganic flame retardant, resin, asbestos, reinforcing agent, softener, inorganic filler, vulcanizing agent and accelerator are sequentially added into a mixer and stirred for 10-20 minutes under the conditions of -0.01 MPa, 95-105℃ and 1600-2100 rpm to obtain the wrapped extrusion material.
[0024] Step 203. Core preparation: After the extruded material of the wrapping layer prepared in step 102 is used as the inner wrapping layer and extruded around the outer periphery of the conductor prepared in step 101, the main cooling tube is sleeved around the outer periphery of each conductor. After the main cooling tube is sleeved, the auxiliary cooling tube and the temperature measuring signal line are arranged at intervals with the conductor, and then the thermally conductive filler is used to use a cage stranding machine to strand them into a core.
[0025] Step 204. Cable preparation: The extruded material of the wrapping layer prepared in step 202 is extruded around the outer periphery of the wire core prepared in step 103 to obtain the outer wrapping layer. Then, polyurethane thermoelastic is extruded as a sheath layer around the outer periphery of the outer wrapping layer to obtain the DC charging pile fast charging liquid-cooled cable.

The liquid cooling assembly includes a main liquid cooling pipe and auxiliary liquid cooling pipes. By wrapping the main liquid cooling pipe around the outer periphery of the conductor and setting multiple auxiliary liquid cooling pipes spaced apart from the conductor, coolant can be placed in the main liquid cooling pipe and auxiliary liquid cooling pipes when the cable is in operation, so as to reduce the internal temperature of the conductor and prevent short circuits and fires in the charging pile during the fast charging process of new energy vehicles, thereby improving the charging efficiency and safety of new energy vehicle charging piles. The liquid-cooled cable manufacturing method includes four steps: conductor preparation, sheath extrusion material preparation, conductor preparation, and cable preparation. It has the advantages of simple operation, excellent cooling effect, and is conducive to the promotion of fast charging and easy to implement. Attached Figure Description

[0078]
[0079]
[0080] From Table 2 and Figure 2 Test results show that by setting main and auxiliary liquid cooling pipes inside the conductor core, using polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) as the material for both pipes, employing low-density ablative material as the core wrapping layer, and filling the core with a thermally conductive filler composed of thermally conductive particles, the heat generated by the conductor under high load can be quickly conducted to the outside. The thermally conductive filler then rapidly removes the heat from the conductor and transfers it to the coolant within the main and auxiliary liquid cooling pipes, reducing the conductor's operating temperature and ensuring normal operation under high load conditions. Compared to existing PVC cables, the cable provided in this application meets the flexibility and safety requirements for charging pile cables, operates at 800A without increasing the conductor's cross-sectional area, has a low weight, is easy for female users to use, and offers high safety. Existing PVC cables typically have a load capacity of only 600A. The cable provided in this application can effectively improve the charging speed of new energy vehicles, facilitating further promotion of these vehicles.

9. A method for preparing a DC charging pile fast-charging liquid-cooled cable according to any one of claims 1-8, characterized in that, Includes the following steps: Step 201. Conductor preparation: After arranging the bundled copper wire units in a 1+6 regular pattern, use a cage stranding machine to strand them into a prefabricated conductor in one step, and then strand the prefabricated conductor into a conductor in a second step. Step 202. Preparation of wrapped extrusion material: The rubber reaction precursor, inorganic flame retardant, resin, asbestos, reinforcing agent, softener, inorganic filler, vulcanizing agent and accelerator are sequentially added into a mixer and stirred for 10-20 minutes under the conditions of -0.01 MPa, 95-105℃ and 1600-2100 rpm to obtain the wrapped extrusion material. Step 203. Core preparation: After the extruded material of the wrapping layer prepared in step 102 is used as the inner wrapping layer and extruded around the outer periphery of the conductor prepared in step 101, the main cooling tube is sleeved around the outer periphery of each conductor. After the main cooling tube is sleeved, the auxiliary cooling tube and the temperature measuring signal line are arranged at intervals with the conductor, and then the thermally conductive filler is used to use a cage stranding machine to strand them into a core. Step 204. Cable preparation: The extruded material of the wrapping layer prepared in step 202 is extruded around the outer periphery of the wire core prepared in step 103 to obtain the outer wrapping layer. Then, polyurethane thermoelastic is extruded as a sheath layer around the outer periphery of the outer wrapping layer to obtain the DC charging pile fast charging liquid-cooled cable.
