[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This wind power generation torsion-resistant aluminum alloy lightning protection cable can achieve the purpose of buffering and preventing expansion and deformation through the coordinated use of the asbestos core, grooves, metal sleeves and through holes. The asbestos core is compressible, which conveniently acts as a buffer. When the device is struck by lightning, the metal sleeve can conduct electricity into the ground to protect against lightning. When the internal components of the device heat up and expand, the grooves can shrink and the through holes can be vented, effectively preventing deformation and damage of the internal components of the device. 2.

The inside of the device becomes hot and expands, the groove 7 can shrink, and the through hole 9 can exhaust air to avoid deformation and damage of internal components.

[0026] In summary, the wind power generation torsion-resistant aluminum alloy lightning protection cable achieves the purpose of buffering, avoiding expansion and deformation, heat resistance, wear resistance, and limited torsion resistance, meeting people's usage needs.
