[0045] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0046] The existing high-voltage cable assembly maintenance scope is limited, leading to insufficient maintenance, high parts scrap rates, and low maintenance efficiency. Therefore, Figure 1 This invention provides a flowchart of a method for overhauling a high-voltage cable assembly, applicable to the overhaul of high-voltage cable assemblies in rail vehicles. The method can be executed by a high-voltage cable assembly overhaul device, which can be implemented in hardware and / or software. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0047] S110. Obtain the type of high-voltage cable assembly for the rail vehicle;

[0048] Specifically, the high-voltage equipment on the roof of the rail vehicle is connected to the high-voltage terminal of the traction transformer via a high-voltage cable assembly. In rail vehicles, the high-voltage cable assembly, depending on its structure and application, can include high-voltage cable assemblies with awnings and high-voltage cable assemblies with T-type connectors. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a high-voltage cable assembly with a shed provided in an embodiment of the present invention. See also: Figure 2 A high-voltage cable assembly with a shed mainly includes a locking nut 1, a locking washer 2, a shed 3, a sealing gasket 4, a flange 5, a half-clamp 6, a shielded lead wire 7, a cable nameplate 8, a first high-voltage cable harness 9, and a first cable terminal 10. In a high-voltage cable assembly with a shed, the shed design prevents damage to the terminal head from external environmental factors such as rainwater and pollutants. The shed ends of high-voltage cable assemblies with sheds are commonly used in outdoor high-voltage cable terminals to improve the reliability and service life of the cable terminal. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a high-voltage cable assembly with a T-type connector provided in an embodiment of the present invention. See also... Figure 3 The high-voltage cable assembly with T-type connectors includes a T-type connector sleeve 11, a cable nameplate 22, a second high-voltage cable harness 33, and a second cable terminal 44. The cable terminal in the high-voltage cable assembly with T-type connectors adopts a T-shaped structure for easy and quick connection to electrical equipment. The T-type connector is internally secured using crimping or bolting to ensure the stability of the electrical connection. Appropriate T-type connector specifications are selected according to different voltage levels and current capacities to meet diverse needs.

[0049] S120. According to the type of high-voltage cable assembly, the components in the high-voltage cable assembly are divided into in-vehicle terminal modules, out-of-vehicle terminal modules and high-voltage cable modules.

[0050] Specifically, the components included in a high-voltage cable assembly vary depending on its type. Using a uniform component inspection method cannot meet the maintenance needs of multiple types of high-voltage cable assemblies, leading to insufficient maintenance or excessively high scrap rates. In this embodiment of the invention, the high-voltage cable assembly is modularized according to its structure and purpose. For example, some components in the high-voltage cable assembly are used to connect to the high-voltage equipment on the roof of the rail vehicle; these components can be classified as external terminal modules. Some components are used to connect to the high-voltage end of the traction transformer inside the vehicle; these components can be classified as internal terminal modules. Still other components are used for the track layout within the rail vehicle; these components can be classified as high-voltage cable modules.

[0051] For example, in combination Figure 2 and Figure 3The high-voltage cable assembly with shed and the high-voltage cable assembly with T-head are included. When the high-voltage cable assembly is a high-voltage cable assembly with shed, the external terminal module may include a shed 3, a flange 5, a half clamp 6, and a shielded lead wire 7; the internal terminal module may include a first cable terminal 10, which includes a terminal block and an insulating heat shrink tubing; the high-voltage cable module may include a first high-voltage cable harness 9.

[0052] When the high-voltage cable assembly is a high-voltage cable assembly with a T-type connector, the external terminal module includes a T-type connector boot sleeve 11 and a shielded lead wire 55. The T-type connector boot sleeve 11 includes a terminal block, a double-ended bolt, and a backstop washer. The internal terminal module includes a second cable terminal 44, which includes a terminal block and an insulating heat-shrink tubing. The high-voltage cable module includes a second high-voltage cable harness 33.

[0053] S130, the testing items for matching in-vehicle terminal modules, external terminal modules and high-voltage cable modules, and the corresponding test item defect data;

[0054] Specifically, corresponding testing items are matched for the in-vehicle terminal module, the external terminal module, and the high-voltage cable module. The testing items can be determined based on lifecycle application experience, which can be obtained through statistical analysis of historical application data. For example, the insulation surface of the high-voltage cable assembly must be clean, and damage is not allowed on the terminal side to avoid problems such as partial discharge. The testing items for both in-vehicle and external terminal modules must at least include surface damage detection of each component. For example, surface damage detection can be performed using imaging equipment or by manual inspection. For instance, for a high-voltage cable assembly with a shed skirt, the surface damage detection of the first terminal and the first insulating heat-shrink tubing of the in-vehicle terminal module must be free of holes, cracks, or burns. In other words, when defects such as holes, cracks, or burns are detected, it indicates an electrical risk and failure to meet usage requirements. The surface damage inspection standards for components such as the umbrella skirt 3, flange 5, half-clamp 6, and shielded lead wire 7 of the external terminal module are determined according to application requirements. For example, the umbrella skirt 3 needs to have a good surface condition, meaning that the size and / or area of ​​surface damage defects in the umbrella skirt 3 must meet preset values ​​to be considered in good condition. For connection terminals, flange 5, and half-clamp 6 with higher application requirements, no damage or melting is required. The threads of the flange mounting threaded holes must be in good condition, and the protective sleeve at the root of the insulating tube of the umbrella skirt 3 must be free of holes, cracks, or burns. For the high-voltage cable harness in the high-voltage cable module, it is necessary to check for damage to the cable surface. For example, check whether there are defects of a certain depth and length on the surface of the high-voltage cable assembly. When the defect data exceeds the preset value, the high-voltage cable harness is considered not to meet the usage requirements.

[0055] S140. Update the corresponding components based on the defect data;

[0056] Specifically, the defect data of each component in the in-vehicle terminal module, external terminal module, and high-voltage cable module are compared with preset values. Components that do not meet the preset values ​​need to be updated or replaced, thus ensuring that the high-voltage cable assembly as a whole meets application requirements. By modularizing the high-voltage cable assembly, inspection items and preset inspection standards can be set for each module. Based on the detected defect data, digital statistics and comparisons can be performed to quickly identify components that need to be updated, improving inspection efficiency and avoiding excessive scrap rates.

[0057] S150. Perform electrical tests on the high-voltage cable assembly.

[0058] Specifically, after the maintenance and upgrade are completed, electrical testing can be performed on the high-voltage cable assembly to prevent secondary damage caused by defects during electrical testing, which could render the high-voltage cable assembly completely unusable. Electrical testing may include applying power frequency voltage for a short period to test for breakdowns, flashovers, or other phenomena in the high-voltage cable assembly. It may also include applying a test voltage at a specific frequency to the high-voltage cable assembly and measuring whether its discharge value meets requirements.

[0059] The high-voltage cable assembly maintenance method provided in this invention modularizes the high-voltage cable assembly into an in-vehicle terminal module, an external terminal module, and a high-voltage cable module, and matches the corresponding test items of the in-vehicle terminal module, external terminal module, and high-voltage cable module to obtain corresponding defect data. Based on the detected defect data, digital statistics and comparisons can be performed to quickly identify the components that need to be replaced, improve testing efficiency, avoid excessive scrap rate, and further improve the reliability of the high-voltage cable assembly throughout its entire life cycle.

[0060] Figure 4 A flowchart of another method for overhauling a high-voltage cable assembly is provided as an embodiment of the present invention. See [link to flowchart]. Figure 4 ,include:

[0061] S210. Obtain the type of high-voltage cable assembly for the rail vehicle;

[0062] S220. Based on the type of high-voltage cable assembly, the components in the high-voltage cable assembly are divided into in-vehicle terminal modules, out-of-vehicle terminal modules, and high-voltage cable modules.

[0063] S230. For in-vehicle terminal modules and external terminal modules, the inspection items include surface damage of each component; inspecting the surface damage of each component contained in the in-vehicle terminal module and external terminal module, and calculating the total damage area of ​​the surface damage of each component.

[0064] Specifically, the testing items for both in-vehicle and external terminal modules must include surface damage detection for each component. For example, surface damage detection can be performed using imaging equipment or through manual inspection. For high-voltage cable assemblies with sheds, the components of the in-vehicle terminal module include the first terminal block and the first insulating heat-shrink tubing. Surface damage detection for the first terminal block can include cracks and metal melting. Surface damage detection for the first insulating heat-shrink tubing can include holes, cracks, or burns. If any holes, cracks, or burns are detected on the first terminal block and the first insulating heat-shrink tubing, it indicates an electrical risk and does not meet the usage requirements. In other words, if the total area of ​​damage to the first terminal block and the first insulating heat-shrink tubing is greater than zero, the usage requirements are not met. For components such as sheds, flanges, clamps, and shielded grounding wires of the external terminal module, the surface damage detection standards are determined according to application requirements. For example, the sheds need to have a good surface condition; that is, the total area of ​​surface damage to the sheds needs to meet a preset value to be considered to be in good condition. In this context, surface damage to the umbrella skirt is considered a single instance of damage if it meets preset specifications. For example, if the depth of a pinhole or the height of a protrusion caused by surface melting or defects in the umbrella skirt is greater than 0.8 mm, it can be recorded as one instance of damage. For instance, when the total area of ​​surface damage to the umbrella skirt is greater than 150 mm²... 2 If so, it can be considered as not meeting the requirements.

[0065] For high-voltage cable assemblies with T-type connectors, the in-vehicle terminal module includes a second terminal block and a second insulating heat-shrink tubing. Surface damage detection for the second terminal block can include cracks and molten metal. Surface damage detection for the second insulating heat-shrink tubing can include holes, cracks, or burns. If any hole, crack, or burn damage is detected on the second terminal block or the second insulating heat-shrink tubing, it indicates an electrical risk and does not meet the usage requirements. In other words, if the total damaged area of ​​the second terminal block and the second insulating heat-shrink tubing is greater than zero, the usage requirements are not met.

[0066] The surface damage inspection standards for components such as T-type connector boots, shielded grounding wires, terminals, double-ended bolts, and anti-reverse washers of the external terminal module are determined according to application requirements. For example, surface damage inspection of T-type connector cable joints and shielded grounding wires can include cracks, corrosion, and metal melting. If any cracks, corrosion, or metal melting is detected in the T-type connector cable joint or shielded grounding wire, it indicates an electrical risk and does not meet the usage requirements.

[0067] S240. For high-voltage cable modules, the testing items include surface inspection of the high-voltage cable module; detection of surface defects in the high-voltage cable module.

[0068] Specifically, for the high-voltage cable harness in the high-voltage cable module, it is necessary to check whether there is any damage on the surface of the cable. For example, check whether there are any defects of a certain size in the depth and length of the high-voltage cable assembly.

[0069] S250. Compare the total area of ​​each damage and surface defect with the corresponding preset value, and determine and update the corresponding component based on the comparison result. The preset value is determined based on the application experience throughout the entire life cycle.

[0070] Specifically, for high-voltage cable assemblies with sheds, if any holes, cracks, or burns are detected on the first terminal and the first insulating heat-shrink tubing, it indicates an electrical risk and fails to meet usage requirements. In other words, if the total damaged area of ​​the first terminal and the first insulating heat-shrink tubing exceeds a preset value, it fails to meet usage requirements. The corresponding preset value can be a total damaged area of ​​zero. For components such as sheds, flanges, clamps, and shielded grounding wires of the external terminal module, the surface damage detection standards are determined according to application requirements. When the surface damage of the shed meets the preset specifications, it is considered a single damage point. For example, if the depth of a pinhole or the height of a protrusion caused by surface melting or defects in the shed is greater than 0.8 mm, it can be recorded as a single damage point. For instance, when the total surface damage area of ​​the shed is greater than 150 mm², it is considered a single damage point. 2 If the condition is not met, it can be considered that the total surface damage area of ​​the umbrella skirt is 150mm. 2 Furthermore, when the depth of surface damage to the umbrella skirt is greater than 1 mm, and the area of ​​a single defect is greater than 15 mm... 2 If the number of defects exceeds 3, the total damaged area can be disregarded, and the defect can be directly considered non-compliant. The corresponding preset values ​​in this case are a depth greater than 1mm and a single defect area greater than 15mm. 2 And the number of defects is greater than 3.

[0071] For high-voltage cable assemblies with T-type connectors, any damage such as holes, cracks, or burns detected on the second terminal and the second insulating heat-shrink tubing indicates an electrical risk and fails to meet usage requirements. In other words, if the total damaged area of ​​the second terminal and the second insulating heat-shrink tubing exceeds a preset value, the usage requirements are not met.

[0072] The surface damage detection standards for components such as the T-type connector boots, shielded grounding wires, terminals, double-ended bolts, and anti-reverse washers of the external terminal module are determined according to application requirements. Surface damage detection for the T-type connector cable joints and shielded grounding wires can include cracks, corrosion, and metal melting. If any cracks, corrosion, or metal melting is detected on the T-type connector cable joint or shielded grounding wire, it indicates an electrical risk and failure to meet usage requirements. The corresponding preset value in this case can be a total damaged area of ​​zero.

[0073] For high-voltage cable harnesses in a high-voltage cable module, such as the first and second high-voltage cable harnesses, if the number of surface defects or the depth and length of defects exceed preset values, the high-voltage cable harness is considered unsuitable for use and needs to be replaced. After maintenance, the surface defects of the high-voltage cable harness should be less than 1mm in depth and less than 100mm in length. It should be noted that the full life-cycle application experience in this embodiment can be obtained through statistical analysis of historical application data.

[0074] S260. Perform breakdown electrical tests on high-voltage cable assemblies and discharge value tests on high-voltage cable assemblies.

[0075] Specifically, a 51.2kV power frequency voltage is applied to the high-voltage cable assembly for 1 minute, and no breakdown or flashover is allowed. A 37.5kV, 50Hz test voltage is applied to the high-voltage cable assembly, and its discharge value is measured to be no greater than 10pC.

[0076] Optionally, prior to electrical testing of the high-voltage cable assembly, the following may also be included:

[0077] For high-voltage cable assemblies with sheds, the updated high-voltage cable assembly must meet a first preset specification, which includes a total damaged area on the outer surface of the shed ≤ 25mm². 2 And depth ≤1mm.

[0078] Specifically, through inspection and replacement, ensure that after the high-voltage cable assembly with sheds is repaired, all parts of the high-voltage cable assembly are free of cracks, melts, or other foreign objects, and the total area of ​​mechanical damage defects on the outer surface of the sheds is ≤25mm². 2 The depth should be ≤1mm. This prevents secondary damage caused by defects during subsequent electrical testing of the high-voltage cable assembly, thus avoiding the complete scrapping of the high-voltage cable assembly.

[0079] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of a maintenance device for a high-voltage cable assembly provided in an embodiment of the present invention. (See attached diagram.) Figure 5 ,include:

[0080] The acquisition module 110 is used to acquire the type of the high-voltage cable assembly of the rail vehicle;

[0081] The partitioning module 120 is used to divide the components in the high-voltage cable assembly into in-vehicle terminal modules, out-of-vehicle terminal modules, and high-voltage cable modules according to the type of the high-voltage cable assembly.

[0082] Matching module 130 is used to match the test items of the in-vehicle terminal module, the external terminal module and the high-voltage cable module, and to detect defect data of the corresponding test items;

[0083] Update module 140 is used to update the corresponding components based on defect data;

[0084] Electrical test module 150 is used to perform electrical tests on high-voltage cable assemblies.

[0085] Specifically, the high-voltage equipment on the roof of the rail vehicle is connected to the high-voltage terminal of the traction transformer via a high-voltage cable assembly. Module 110 acquires the type of the high-voltage cable assembly of the rail vehicle. In rail vehicles, high-voltage cable assemblies, based on their structure and application, can include high-voltage cable assemblies with awnings and high-voltage cable assemblies with T-joints. (Combined with...) Figure 2 In high-voltage cable assemblies with sheds, the shed design prevents damage to the terminal head from external environmental factors such as rain and pollutants. Sheds are commonly used in outdoor high-voltage cable terminations to improve the reliability and service life of the cable termination. Combined with... Figure 3 The cable terminal in the high-voltage cable assembly with T-type connector adopts a T-type structure, which facilitates quick connection with electrical equipment. The T-type connector is tightened internally by crimping or bolting to ensure the stability of the electrical connection. The appropriate T-type connector specification can be selected according to different voltage levels and current capacities to meet diverse needs.

[0086] The high-voltage cable assembly is modularized according to its structure and purpose. For example, some components of the high-voltage cable assembly are used to connect to the high-voltage equipment on the roof of the rail vehicle. These components can be classified as external terminal modules. Some components are used to connect to the high-voltage end of the traction transformer inside the vehicle. These components can be classified as internal terminal modules. And some components are used for the track layout in the rail vehicle. These components can be classified as high-voltage cable modules.

[0087] For example, in combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 The high-voltage cable assembly includes a shed-type high-voltage cable assembly and a T-type high-voltage cable assembly. When the high-voltage cable assembly is a shed-type high-voltage cable assembly, the external terminal module may include a shed 3, a flange 5, a half-clamp 6, and a shielded lead wire 7; the internal terminal module may include a first cable terminal 10, which includes a first terminal block and a first insulating heat shrink tubing; the high-voltage cable module may include a first high-voltage cable harness 9.

[0088] When the high-voltage cable assembly is a high-voltage cable assembly with a T-type connector, the external terminal module includes a T-type connector boot sleeve 11 and a shielded lead wire 55. The T-type connector boot sleeve 11 includes a terminal block, a double-ended bolt, and a backstop washer. The internal terminal module includes a second cable terminal 44, which includes a second terminal block and a second insulating heat shrink tubing. The high-voltage cable module includes a second high-voltage cable harness 33.

[0089] Matching module 130 matches the corresponding testing items for the in-vehicle terminal module, the external terminal module, and the high-voltage cable module. The testing items can be determined based on application experience throughout the entire lifecycle. For example, the insulation surface of the high-voltage cable assembly must be clean, and damage is not allowed on the terminal side to avoid problems such as partial discharge. The testing items for both the in-vehicle and external terminal modules must include surface damage detection for each component. For example, surface damage detection can be performed using imaging equipment or by manual inspection. For instance, for a high-voltage cable assembly with a shed, the surface damage detection of the first terminal and the first insulating heat-shrink tubing of the in-vehicle terminal module requires the absence of holes, cracks, or burns. In other words, the presence of holes, cracks, or burns indicates an electrical risk and does not meet the usage requirements. For the external terminal module, the surface damage detection standards for components such as the shed, flange, clamp, and shielding grounding wire are determined according to application requirements. For example, the shed needs to be in good surface condition; that is, the size and / or area of ​​surface damage on the shed needs to meet preset values ​​to be considered in good condition. For connection terminals, flanges, and clamps with high application requirements, they must be free from damage or melting. The threads of flange mounting holes must be in good condition, and the protective sleeves at the root of the insulating tubes of the sheds must be free from holes, cracks, or burns. For high-voltage cable harnesses in high-voltage cable modules, it is necessary to inspect the cable surface for damage. For example, check the surface of the high-voltage cable assembly for defects of a certain depth and length. If the defect data exceeds preset values, the high-voltage cable harness is considered unsuitable for use.

[0090] The update module 140 compares the defect data of each component in the in-vehicle terminal module, the external terminal module, and the high-voltage cable module with preset values. Components that do not meet the preset values ​​need to be updated or replaced, thereby ensuring that the high-voltage cable assembly as a whole meets application requirements. By modularizing the high-voltage cable assembly, inspection items and preset inspection standards can be set for each module. Based on the detected defect data, digital statistics and comparisons can be performed to quickly identify components that need to be updated, improving inspection efficiency and avoiding excessive scrap rates.

[0091] The electrical testing module 150 performs electrical tests on the high-voltage cable assembly. The electrical tests may include applying power frequency voltage for a short period of time to test whether the high-voltage cable assembly has phenomena such as breakdown or flashover. It may also include applying a test voltage at a certain frequency to the high-voltage cable assembly and measuring whether its discharge value meets the requirements.

[0092] Optionally, the matching module includes: a first detection unit, used for detecting surface damage of each component in the in-vehicle terminal module and the external terminal module; detecting surface damage of each component contained in the in-vehicle terminal module and the external terminal module, and calculating the total damage area of ​​the surface damage of each component;

[0093] The second inspection unit is used for high-voltage cable modules, and the inspection items include surface inspection of the high-voltage cable modules and detection of surface defects in the high-voltage cable modules.

[0094] Specifically, the first detection unit needs to inspect the surface damage of at least each component of both the in-vehicle and external terminal modules. For example, surface damage detection can be performed using imaging equipment or by manual inspection. For a high-voltage cable assembly with a shed, the components of the in-vehicle terminal module include the first terminal block and the first insulating heat-shrink tubing. Surface damage detection for the first terminal block can include cracks and metal melting. Surface damage detection for the first insulating heat-shrink tubing can include holes, cracks, or burns. The presence of any holes, cracks, or burns on the first terminal block and the first insulating heat-shrink tubing indicates an electrical risk and does not meet the usage requirements. In other words, if the total area of ​​damage to the terminal block and the insulating heat-shrink tubing is greater than zero, the usage requirements are not met. For components of the external terminal module such as the shed, flange, clamp, and shielded grounding wire, the surface damage detection standards are determined according to application requirements. For example, the shed needs to have a good surface condition; that is, the total area of ​​surface damage to the shed needs to meet a preset value to be considered to be in good condition. In this context, surface damage to the umbrella skirt is considered a single instance of damage if it meets preset specifications. For example, if the depth of a pinhole or the height of a protrusion caused by surface melting or defects in the umbrella skirt is greater than 0.8 mm, it can be recorded as one instance of damage. For instance, when the total area of ​​surface damage to the umbrella skirt is greater than 150 mm²... 2 If so, it can be considered as not meeting the requirements.

[0095] For high-voltage cable assemblies with T-type connectors, the in-vehicle terminal module includes a second terminal block and a second insulating heat-shrink tubing. Surface damage detection for the second terminal block can include cracks and molten metal. Surface damage detection for the second insulating heat-shrink tubing can include holes, cracks, or burns. If any hole, crack, or burn damage is detected on the second terminal block or the second insulating heat-shrink tubing, it indicates an electrical risk and does not meet the usage requirements. In other words, if the total damaged area of ​​the second terminal block and the second insulating heat-shrink tubing is greater than zero, the usage requirements are not met.

[0096] The surface damage inspection standards for components such as T-type connector boots, shielded grounding wires, terminals, double-ended bolts, and anti-reverse washers of the external terminal module are determined according to application requirements. For example, surface damage inspection of T-type connector cable joints and shielded grounding wires can include cracks, corrosion, and metal melting. If any cracks, corrosion, or metal melting is detected in the T-type connector cable joint or shielded grounding wire, it indicates an electrical risk and does not meet the usage requirements.

[0097] For the high-voltage cable harness in the high-voltage cable module, the second detection unit needs to check whether there is any damage on the cable surface. For example, check whether there are defects of a certain size in the depth and length of the high-voltage cable assembly surface.

[0098] Optionally, the update module also includes: a comparison unit, used to compare each total damage area and surface defect data with the corresponding preset value;

[0099] The update unit is used to determine and update the corresponding components based on the comparison results, wherein the preset values ​​are determined based on application experience throughout the entire life cycle.

[0100] Specifically, for high-voltage cable assemblies with sheds, if any holes, cracks, or burns are detected on the first terminal and the first insulating heat-shrink tubing, it indicates an electrical risk and fails to meet usage requirements. In other words, the comparison unit compares the total damaged area of ​​the first terminal and the first insulating heat-shrink tubing with a preset value. If the total damaged area of ​​the first terminal and the first insulating heat-shrink tubing is greater than the preset value, it fails to meet usage requirements. In this case, the corresponding preset value can be a total damaged area of ​​zero. For components such as sheds, flanges, half-clamps, and shielded grounding wires of the external terminal module, the surface damage detection standards are determined according to application requirements. When the surface damage of the shed meets the preset specifications, it is considered a single damage point. For example, if the depth of a pinhole or the height of a protrusion caused by surface melting or defects in the shed is greater than 0.8 mm, it can be recorded as a single damage point. The comparison unit compares the total area of ​​surface damage of the shed with a 150 mm² value. 2 In contrast, if the total area of ​​surface damage to the umbrella skirt is greater than 150mm... 2 This can be considered as not meeting the requirements. In this case, the corresponding preset value is the total area of ​​surface damage on the skirt is 150mm. 2 Furthermore, when the depth of surface damage to the umbrella skirt is greater than 1 mm, and the area of ​​a single defect is greater than 15 mm... 2 If the number of defects is greater than 3, the total area of ​​damage can be disregarded, and the product can be considered as not meeting the requirements.

[0101] Similarly, for high-voltage cable assemblies with T-type connectors, if any holes, cracks, or burns are detected on the second terminal and the second insulating heat-shrink tubing, it indicates an electrical risk and does not meet the usage requirements. In other words, if the total damaged area of ​​the second terminal and the second insulating heat-shrink tubing exceeds a preset value, it does not meet the usage requirements.

[0102] The surface damage detection standards for components such as the T-type connector boot sleeve, grounding wire, terminal block, double-ended bolt, and anti-reverse washer of the external terminal module are determined according to application requirements. Surface damage detection for the cable connector and shielded grounding wire of the T-type connector can include cracks, corrosion, and metal melting. If any cracks, corrosion, or metal melting is detected on the cable connector or shielded grounding wire of the T-type connector, it indicates an electrical risk and does not meet the usage requirements. The corresponding preset value in this case can be a total damaged area of ​​zero.

[0103] For high-voltage cable harnesses in high-voltage cable modules, if the number of surface defects or the depth and length of defects exceed preset values, the high-voltage cable harness is considered unsuitable for use and needs to be replaced. After maintenance, the surface defects of the high-voltage cable harness should be less than 1mm in depth and less than 100mm in length. It should be noted that the full life-cycle application experience in this embodiment can be obtained through statistical analysis of historical application data.
