Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of power devices for smart grids, and in particular discloses a ribbon cable with a compact structure. Background Art

[0002] With the growth of power demand, the demand for cables with multiple cores and high-density electrical units is increasing day by day. However, the ribbon cables in the prior art do not meet the relevant requirements of smart grids.

[0003] On the other hand, with the limitations of space resources, pipeline resources, etc. and the increase in rental costs, the relevant parties have higher and higher requirements for the utilization of resources. Therefore, square-section pipelines and cables are being widely promoted and used. Compared with circular pipelines and circular cables, they have higher space utilization rate, less space waste, and lower costs.

[0004] CN202887806U discloses a special flexible branched ribbon cable, which includes multiple three-core cables. Each three-core cable includes three conductors, and each conductor is wrapped with an insulating layer. The three conductors wrapped with insulating layers are twisted together and then extruded with a sheath layer on the outside. The multiple three-core cables are branched by bending at different lengths, and the non-bent parts of the multiple three-core cables are woven with warp and weft by polyester filaments. The structure of this cable is not compact enough, the production speed is slow, and the construction and inspection efficiency is low.

[0005] CN117348180A discloses a ribbon optical cable, which has a light-transmitting body and a protective housing; the light-transmitting body is composed of 2N or 2N + 1 optical fiber ribbons, each optical fiber ribbon is an integral structure, each optical fiber ribbon has multiple optical fibers, and each optical fiber ribbon is composed of a first bonding section and a second bonding section perpendicular to each other. The first bonding section and the second bonding section of each optical fiber ribbon are symmetrical; the protective housing is surrounded by a first wall body, a second wall body, a third wall body, and a fourth wall body with equal wall thicknesses, and the protective housing is a closed regular tetrahedron structure, and the inside of the protective housing has a housing cavity with a square cross-section. It improves the core density by using an optical fiber ribbon with a single right-angle bend. Although it is suitable for square pipelines, it is too complex, the number of optical fiber ribbons is too large, it is not easy to manage and maintain, and the number of cores in a single optical fiber ribbon also needs to be increased, and the manufacturing speed of the whole product also needs to be increased.

The second body 12, the fourth body 14, and the fifth body 15 are parallel to each other. The first body 11 is perpendicular to the second body 12. The first to fourth bodies and the sixth body together enclose an inner cavity 101 with an opening 1010. The opening 1010 is located below the lower right surface of the first body 11. The upper and lower surfaces of the ribbon body are parallel to each other. The left and right surfaces of the ribbon body are parallel to each other. The space enclosed by the lower surface of the first body 11, the left surface of the ribbon body, the lower surface of the ribbon body, and the left surface of the sixth body 16 is the first space 102. The space enclosed by the upper, lower, and right surfaces of the fifth body 15 and the right surface of the third body 13 is the second space 103. The space enclosed by the upper surface of the fifth body 15, the right surface of the sixth body 16, the lower surface of the fourth body 14, and the right surface of the third body 13 is the third space 104. See Figure 5, the lengths of the fourth body 14 and the fifth body 15 are equal, the length of the second body 12 is equal to the sum of the length of the sixth body 16 and the length of the fourth body 14, the height of the first body 11 is less than the height of the third body 13, the height of the first body 11 is greater than the height of the second body 12, the height of the third body 13 is greater than the height of the fourth body 14, the difference between the height of the third body 13 and the height of the fourth body 14 is greater than the height of the first body 11, the height of the sixth body 16 is greater than the height of the fourth body 14, and the height of the sixth body 16 is greater than the height of the fifth body 15.

[0033] For the above-mentioned compact structure ribbon cable, the fifth body 15, the sixth body 16, and the fourth body 14 of the first ribbon component 1 are embedded in the inner cavity 101 of the second ribbon component 1; the fifth body 15, the sixth body 16, and the fourth body 14 of the second ribbon component 1 are embedded in the inner cavity 101 of the first ribbon component 1; the lower surface of the first body 11 of the second ribbon component 1 is in the same plane as the upper surface of the fifth body 15 of the first ribbon component 1, and the lower surface of the first body 11 of the first ribbon component 1 is in the same plane as the upper surface of the fifth body 15 of the second ribbon component 1.

[0034] In this embodiment, the fourth body 14 does not have an electrical unit.

[0035] Embodiment 3: Please refer to Figure 8 , and refer to Figures 5 to 7 , a compact structure ribbon cable, which is basically the same as Embodiment 2, except that: the fourth body 14 further has a plurality of signal transmission units 3, and the signal transmission units 3 can be insulated wires or optical fibers, or part of them are insulated wires and part of them are optical fibers; or they are optical fiber ribbons.

[0036] In this application, the electrical units 2 are distributed in the first to fifth bodies, or in the first to sixth bodies, or in the first to fifth bodies outside the fourth body, or in the first to sixth bodies outside the fourth body, that is, the fourth body may not have an electrical unit but has signal transmission units 3; of course, the electrical units 2 can also be replaced by optical fibers, or the electrical units 2 can be replaced by optical fiber ribbons in a ribbon form. In this way, the number of cores in the optical fiber ribbon is greatly increased, not limited to the maximum number of cores recommended in the prior art, which is 12 or 24, and the recommendation refers to the recommended standard of the People's Republic of China's communication industry YD / T 981, etc.

[0037] In this application, in Embodiment 1, two first strip members 1 are closely fitted to form a cable core with a tight rectangular cross-section, without waste of cavity, and the space is fully utilized; in Embodiments 2 and 3, two first strip members 1 are fitted to form a cable core with a rectangular cross-section, and there are two third spaces 104 with rectangular cross-sections in the cable core. The two third spaces 104 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the cable core and are vertically staggered in position. Compared with Embodiment 1, due to the existence of the third space 104, the heat dissipation of the electrical unit 2 in the strip member is better. Moreover, through the third space 104, the electrical unit 2 and the signal transmission unit 3 in the strip member 1 can be conveniently taken out. Please see Figure 8 , whether it is the first strip member 1 or the second strip member 1, the internal electrical unit 2 and signal transmission unit 3 can be conveniently taken out through the four sides and the third space 104 without disassembling, ensuring the integrity of the product structure and the rapidity of construction and inspection.

[0038] The existing optical fiber ribbon forming equipment usually has limited space, which is limited in both length and width directions. Therefore, it is generally impossible to produce an optical fiber ribbon with more than 12 cores arranged in a row at one time. The 24-core optical fiber ribbon is formed by splicing two 12-core optical fiber ribbons. Therefore, the performance is extremely unstable at the splicing position. However, the strip member in this application makes full use of the forming space of the optical fiber ribbon forming equipment and can be formed at one time when used as an optical fiber ribbon.

[0039] When used as a power transmission component, it is easier to realize through the extrusion of the sheath. Even holes are reserved at the position of the electrical unit 2 and are inserted as needed during use, greatly improving the flexibility.

[0040] In this application, the cross-section of the strip member itself is close to a rectangle, so it is very convenient for storage, stacking, etc., saving space resources, and being quite neat and beautiful.

[0041] The two identical strip members described in this application mainly refer to the shape, size and dimensions. Their strip bodies can have different colors, making them easier to distinguish and identify.

[0042] In this application, based on the compact structure ribbon cable described above, at least one layer of functional protective layer can be added outside, such as functions of tensile resistance, compressive resistance, fire protection, flame retardance, etc., and multiple protection functions can be formed through multi-layer cooperation.

[0043] In this application, based on the compact structure ribbon cable described above, multiple compact structure ribbon cables can be combined horizontally, overlapping, horizontally and overlappingly to form a combined cable core, and at least one layer of functional protective layer can be added outside the combined cable core, such as functions of tensile resistance, compressive resistance, fire protection, flame retardance, etc., and multiple protection functions can be formed through multi-layer cooperation.

[0044] A kind of ribbon cable with a compact structure described in the present application, the ribbon body is an integral structure.

[0045] For a kind of ribbon cable with a compact structure described in the present application, the material of the ribbon body is preferably a plastic or composite material with relatively high hardness after molding.

[0046] In the present application, when the cable core is within the normal test range or normal usage conditions, it will not come apart during twisting, coiling, and repeated bending, that is, the first ribbon component 1 and the second ribbon component 1 will not separate from each other. Normal usage conditions include general construction, dragging, swinging, etc. The normal test range is the general test requirements for cables or optical cables, not destructive test requirements.

[0047] A kind of ribbon cable with a compact structure, the material of the conductor is copper or aluminum alloy, and the material of the ribbon body is cross-linked polyethylene insulating material.

[0048] In the present application, the core number density is increased by the ribbon component or the ribbon body with three or five right-angle bends, and the two ribbon components or the ribbon bodies can be engaged or fitted with each other through the structure of the ribbon component or the ribbon body to form a cable core with a rectangular cross-section. When there are three right-angle bends, there is no waste of extra cavities in the cable core. When there are five right-angle bends, two third spaces located on the left and right sides and offset up and down are formed. Through the third spaces and the peripheral spaces, the ribbon components or the ribbon bodies do not need to be separated from each other to obtain the internal electrical units or signal transmission units, improving the efficiency of inspection, testing, and construction.

[0049] The cable in the present application is suitable for and adapts to square ducts, can make the best use of the duct space to the greatest extent, and makes the comprehensive cost lower.

[0050] The present application has the following main beneficial technical effects: easy to manufacture, easy to form, stable and reliable structure, high core number density, easy to construct and easy to inspect.

[0051] For the cable in the present application, the conductor can be aluminum alloy, so it can be called an aluminum alloy power cable. Due to the effective electrical isolation of the ribbon body, it can transmit very high power levels, so it can also be called a high-voltage and extra-high-voltage cable; in the present application, when the material of the ribbon body is plastic, the cross-linked polyethylene insulating material is preferred, so it can also be called a cross-linked polyethylene insulated power cable.

[0052] When there is an optical fiber in this application, it can be used as an intelligent sensor or an intelligent sensing element; since it can transmit voice and images, it can also be used as a physical sensor, such as a voice sensor or an image sensor; since it transmits optical signals through the principle of total internal reflection, it can also be used as a distance sensor; the optical fiber in this application itself is an optical waveguide, so it can be used as an optical waveguide, such as an array optical waveguide or a diffractive optical waveguide; this application can also be used in the field of optical computing, as part of optical chip computing in the fields of optical computing, optical computing, and optical network computing.

[0053] In this application, when there are both conductors and optical fibers, they can be used for power transmission and rapid power dispatch at the same time, so they can be used in smart grids as power components in smart grids.

[0054] The above embodiments are only the preferred technical solutions of the present invention and should not be regarded as limitations to the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention shall be the technical solutions recorded in the claims, including equivalent replacement solutions of the technical features in the technical solutions recorded in the claims. That is, equivalent replacement improvements within this scope are also within the protection scope of the present invention.
