[0027] Example 2, based on Example 1, It also includes: an intelligent early warning device, the intelligent early warning device comprising: Intelligent monitoring device: The shielded cable is divided into multiple cable segments, and each cable segment is equipped with an intelligent monitoring device. The intelligent monitoring device includes: monitoring module one and monitoring module two. Monitoring module one is used to monitor the environmental information of the cable segment where the shielded cable is located, and monitoring module two is used to monitor the parameters of the shielded cable. The environmental information includes: ambient temperature and ambient wind speed. The parameters of the shielded cable include: shielded cable temperature. Several temperature monitoring points are set in each cable segment. A timer, used to time the total usage time of the current shielded cable; The main control device is communicatively connected to each intelligent monitoring device, and the timer and early warning device are electrically connected to the main control device.

[0028] Preferably, the main control device includes: First acquisition module: used to acquire the current monitoring data of the intelligent monitoring device; Memory: Stores parameters under reference conditions (reference ambient temperature, reference operating conditions) for each type of shielded cable, and an ambient wind speed-heat dissipation coefficient model for each type of shielded cable. The parameters under the reference conditions include the maximum allowable temperature under the reference conditions. First calculation module: used to determine the current maximum allowable temperature of each cable segment of the shielded cable based on the timer value corresponding to the current shielded cable, the environmental information of each cable segment, the environmental wind speed-heat dissipation coefficient model corresponding to the current shielded cable, and the maximum allowable temperature under the reference conditions; The early warning device includes a first early warning module, which is used to issue an early warning when the actual temperature at any temperature monitoring point of any cable segment of the current shielded cable is greater than the corresponding current maximum allowable temperature.

[0029] Preferably, the main control device further includes: The second calculation module is used to determine the temperature difference coefficient of each cable segment based on the temperature status of the adjacent temperature monitoring point group of each cable segment of the current shielded cable. The early warning device also includes a second early warning module, which is used to issue an early warning when the temperature difference coefficient of any segment of the current shielded cable is greater than a preset temperature difference coefficient.

[0030] Preferably, the first calculation module calculates based on the following formula: ; Where Q is the current maximum allowable temperature of the current cable segment of the current shielded cable; This represents the maximum permissible temperature under the current reference conditions for shielded cables. The heat dissipation coefficient of the current shielded cable is determined under the baseline conditions of the environmental wind speed-heat dissipation coefficient model corresponding to the current shielded cable. The heat dissipation coefficient is determined based on the ambient wind speed of the current cable segment and the ambient wind speed-heat dissipation coefficient model corresponding to the current shielded cable. This is the coefficient of influence of the heat dissipation coefficient on the maximum allowable temperature (a coefficient calibrated empirically or experimentally, quantifying the degree of influence of changes in the heat dissipation coefficient on the maximum allowable temperature; its magnitude reflects the "sensitivity" of the allowable temperature change caused by the change in the heat dissipation coefficient, for example...). The larger the value, the more significant the effect of the change in heat dissipation coefficient on Q.

The reference temperature is the reference condition.

[0031] Preferably, the second calculation module calculates based on the following formula: ; T is the temperature difference coefficient of the current cable segment of the current shielded cable; M is the total number of adjacent temperature monitoring point groups of the current cable segment of the current shielded cable. The larger temperature monitoring value in the first point of the k-th group of the current cable segment of the current shielded cable; The first group of adjacent temperature monitoring points for the current cable segment of the current shielded cable is the number of adjacent temperature monitoring points for the current cable segment of the current shielded cable.

The smaller temperature monitoring value in the first point group of the k-th group of the current cable segment of the current shielded cable; The temperature difference coefficient of the first point group of the k-th group of the current cable segment of the current shielded cable; This represents the maximum permissible temperature difference between adjacent areas of the current cable. , These are the weights for the proportion of temperature anomalies and the weights for temperature differences (values ​​greater than 0 and less than 1, and can be 0.5 and 0.5 respectively).

[0032] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: Multi-dimensional parameter fusion modeling breaks through the limitations of the traditional "single temperature threshold". It integrates environmental parameters (temperature, wind speed), aging parameters (usage time, aging coefficient) and heat dissipation characteristics (wind speed-heat dissipation model) to construct a dynamic allowable temperature formula, realizing coupled calculation of "environment-aging-heat dissipation", which is more in line with actual operating conditions.

[0033] The refined assessment of temperature difference coefficient quantifies local thermal anomalies (such as poor contact and insulation degradation) in cable segments by using a temperature difference coefficient model of adjacent temperature monitoring points, thus identifying "gradual temperature change faults" in advance and making up for the shortcomings of single-point temperature monitoring.

[0034] Dynamically adjust the allowable temperature to prevent thermal aging. Based on the usage time and aging coefficient, the baseline allowable temperature is modified so that the temperature threshold is dynamically reduced as the cable ages (e.g., the allowable temperature of a 10-year-old cable is 15% to 20% lower than that of a new cable), thereby reducing the risk of "overheating operation accelerating aging" from the source.

[0035] The first early warning module covering different fault stages (temperature exceeding the allowable value) directly intercepts "manifest over-temperature faults" to avoid insulation breakdown; The second early warning module (temperature difference coefficient exceeding the limit) detects "hidden thermal anomalies" (such as local damage to the shielding layer or oxidation of the connector), enabling pre-fault diagnosis and eliminating potential hazards in their infancy.

[0036] Distributed monitoring and centralized control: Intelligent monitoring devices are deployed in each cable segment to collect environmental and temperature data in real time; the main control device performs centralized calculations and unified early warnings, which not only ensures "precise location of local faults" but also achieves "overall status management", improving operation and maintenance response efficiency by more than 50%.

[0037] Cable remaining life prediction (combined with aging model); digital twin modeling of environmental-heat dissipation characteristics to optimize cable laying schemes (such as adjusting spacing and increasing ventilation). The warning threshold is optimized through self-learning (dynamically adjusted according to seasonal and load changes) to reduce false alarms / missed alarms.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
