Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cables, and more specifically, to a power cable capable of realizing multi-maintenance monitoring. Background Art

[0002] Power cables can transmit high-voltage, medium-voltage or low-voltage electrical energy to various types of equipment, such as buildings, factories, communication systems, and power transmission systems. Power cables are widely used in urban underground power grids, outgoing lines of power stations, internal power supply in industrial and mining enterprises, and underwater transmission lines across rivers and seas.

[0003] For existing power cables, their mechanical strength and protection ability are relatively limited. Especially in complex environments or harsh climatic conditions, the cables are easily damaged by various external forces, thus affecting the normal operation of the power system. And traditional power cables have obvious deficiencies in heat dissipation. Due to the lack of an effective active heat dissipation mechanism, the cables are prone to overheating problems during use. It is difficult to detect and handle abnormal cable temperatures in a timely manner, which not only affects the lifespan of the cables but may also cause safety accidents such as fires. In addition, power cables are prone to moisture absorption when used in high-humidity environments, especially in humid environments such as underground pipelines. Due to the lack of a humidity detection function in the cables, these problems are often difficult to detect and handle in a timely manner, posing great potential hazards to the safe operation of the power system.

[0011] Further, a first blocking block is provided at the ventilation hole; a second blocking block is provided at the temperature measurement channel.

[0012] Thus, when heat dissipation is required, the first blocking block can be taken out to install and connect a ventilation pipe; when temperature measurement is required, the second blocking block can be taken out to install a temperature sensor.

[0013] Further, the cylindrical block, the heat conduction block, and the heat conduction plate are all made of heat-conducting metal materials.

[0014] Further, the cylindrical block, the heat conduction block, and the heat conduction plate are all made of copper-aluminum alloy.

[0015] Further, the functional tube is made of PVC material.

[0016] Further, it further includes a sealing unit, and the sealing unit includes two sealing rings, a strip-shaped sealing belt connecting the two sealing rings, and three connecting sealing belts connecting the two sealing rings.

Therefore, the functional pipes have multiple functions such as heat dissipation, temperature measurement, and humidity inspection.
