[0020] Embodiment: This embodiment discloses an aircraft engine ignition cable structure. Figure 1 , which is a schematic diagram of the high-voltage ignition cable structure. In this structure, the connector + high-voltage wire + shielded hose assembly + aluminum alloy three-dimensional bent pipe assembly. The aluminum alloy three-dimensional bent pipe assembly is the main structure. The aluminum alloy straight pipe is bent according to the coordinates required by the three-dimensional laying space of the engine, and threaded joints are welded at both ends to form an aluminum alloy three-dimensional bent pipe assembly, which is the main protective support structure of the wire harness. The two ends of the aluminum alloy three-dimensional bent pipe assembly are respectively connected to high-strength and high-density shielded hose assemblies to establish an overall protective structure for the wire harness. The other end of the shielded hose assembly is connected to a fixed contact device, and the high-voltage wire is protected in the overall structure to form a high-voltage ignition cable.

[0021] Reference Figure 2, is a schematic diagram of the appearance of the high-voltage ignition cable shielded hose assembly. The shielded hose assembly has two intermediate shielding layers, the inner sealed metal corrugated hose, which plays a role of high shielding and serves as a supporting structure, and the outer layer is covered with a high-strength and high-density wave-proof sleeve, which is welded to the return groove of the connecting tube at both ends by high-temperature brazing. A main nut is installed at one end of the shielding protective layer, which is connected to the ignition nozzle connection end or the ignition device connection end, and the other end is connected to the threaded joint of the aluminum alloy three-dimensional elbow assembly through a connecting nut.
