Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of cable technology, specifically to a high-voltage power de-icing type overhead line. Background Technology
[0002] Overhead lines mainly refer to exposed overhead lines, which are erected above the ground. They are power transmission lines that use insulators to fix the transmission conductors to towers that stand upright on the ground to transmit electrical energy. They are relatively easy to install and maintain, and have low costs, so overhead lines are widely used.
[0003] However, overhead lines are susceptible to weather and environmental factors that can cause malfunctions. For example, in cold weather, when it snows or rains, a thick layer of ice will condense on the outside of the cable, increasing the weight of the cable and putting a great burden on the cable and electrical fittings. This can easily lead to cable or electrical fitting breakage and cause safety accidents. However, de-icing is difficult, especially when the ice layer is thick. Using heating to de-ic, the energy consumption is high and the efficiency is low. Physical de-icing is difficult to operate and has low de-icing efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0009] According to the above technical solution, the middle insulating layer is provided with a breathable hole at the corresponding air outlet, and an insulating film is glued to one end of the air outlet.
[0010] According to the above technical solution, the outer side of the inner conductor is uniformly filled with a filling layer at the position between the outer heat box, and a reinforcing rod is provided inside the filling layer.
[0011] According to the above technical solution, the outer edge of the filling layer and the outer edge of the heat-conducting outer ring are aligned, and the end of the vent pipe and the outer edge of the outer insulation layer are within the same curved surface.
[0012] According to the above technical solution, an auxiliary de-icing component is installed on the outside of the protective film, and the auxiliary de-icing component includes a left retaining ring;
[0013] A left retaining ring is snapped onto one side of the protective film, and a right retaining ring is hinged to the top of the left retaining ring. Supporting brackets are welded to the top and one side of both the left and right retaining rings. An ice crushing box is slidably snapped into the support bracket. One end of the ice crushing box and the other end of the support bracket are connected by a compression spring. An ice crushing wheel is symmetrically and rotatably installed inside the ice crushing box, and an ice melting groove is opened in the middle of the ice crushing wheel.
[0014] Both the left and right retaining rings have welding plates at their bottom ends. The center of the welding plate has a insertion hole, and an insertion rod is installed inside the insertion hole. One end of the insertion rod is connected to a connecting nut via a thread.
[0015] According to the above technical solution, the left and right retaining rings have the same shape and size, the plug rod is composed of a hexagonal prism and a screw, the plug hole is a regular hexagon, and the outer side of the hexagonal prism end of the plug rod fits against the inner side of the plug hole.
[0016] According to the above technical solution, a balance frame is welded to the end of the plug rod away from the connecting nut, and a connecting frame is welded to both ends of the balance frame. A guide hole is opened on the top surface of the connecting frame, and a guide rod is slidably installed inside the guide hole. A damping block is fixedly installed at the top of the guide rod.

[0017] According to the above technical solution, limit plates are bonded to both sides of the damping block, and the inner side of the limit plate is attached to the outer side of the top of the connecting frame.
[0018] According to the above technical solution, the extrusion trolley is equipped with a contact wheel on the side near the protective film, and the contact wheel is in contact with the protective film.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0020] 1. Equipped with a protective de-icing component, if ice forms on the outside of the cable, the power supply to the heating wire is turned on, and the heating wire begins to heat up and melt the ice layer near the protective film. Since the inner conductor also heats up during normal use, the heat from both is transferred to the outer heating box through the inner and outer heat-conducting rings. The air inside the silicone rubber ring and the outer heating box will expand due to the heat. Because the thermal expansion rate of the silicone rubber ring is higher than that of air, the air inside the outer heating box will be discharged from the vent pipe to the space between the middle and outer insulation layers due to the increased internal air pressure. Because the deformation groove is thinner, the increased internal air pressure will push the deformation groove to bulge outward. Under the dual action of heating and melting and inner compression, the ice layer on the outside of the cable is more likely to break and detach from the outside of the overhead line, accelerating de-icing and increasing de-icing efficiency. This method requires less heat and consumes less electricity.
[0021] 2. An auxiliary de-icing assembly is installed, with left and right retaining rings fitted onto the outside of the overhead line and the cable. The ice-crushing wheel contacts the ice layer. A compression trolley is installed, pulling the auxiliary de-icing assembly along the overhead line. During the movement, the rollers of the compression trolley always contact the outside of the overhead line and move up and down according to the thickness of the cable's outer side. The buffer spring deforms in coordination. During the movement, the ice-melting groove of the ice-crushing wheel compresses the outside of the ice layer, accelerating the breaking of the outer ice layer. When it moves to the deformation groove, the compression spring causes the ice-crushing wheel to impact the outside of the ice layer, accelerating the breaking of the ice layer and making the de-icing effect better. Different de-icing structures can be selected according to the thickness of the ice layer to further improve the de-icing effect and efficiency.
[0022] In summary, during the de-icing process, the deformation of the outer insulation layer at the deformation groove of the protective de-icing component accelerates the cracking of the ice layer at that location when it encounters the ice crushing wheel, due to the combined effect of internal and external factors. The two components can operate independently, and when used together, they will achieve a better de-icing and ice removal effect. Attached Figure Description

[0036] Example: Figure 1-7 As shown, the present invention provides a high-voltage power de-icing overhead line technical solution, including an inner conductor 1, and a protective de-icing assembly 2 installed on the outside of the inner conductor 1. The protective de-icing assembly 2 includes an outer heat box 201, an vent pipe 202, a silicone rubber ring 203, a middle insulation layer 204, a spiral heat-conducting layer 205, a vent hole 206, a heating wire 207, an outer insulation layer 208, a deformation groove 209, a protective film 210, a heat-conducting inner ring 211, a heat-conducting outer ring 212, a vent hole 213, an insulating film 214, a filling layer 215, and a reinforcing rod 216.
[0037] An outer heat box 201 is uniformly sleeved on the outside of the inner conductor 1. A filling layer 215 is uniformly filled on the outside of the inner conductor 1 between the outer heat boxes 201. A reinforcing rod 216 is provided inside the filling layer 215 to improve the internal strength of the cable and make it more resistant to pressure and bending. An air outlet pipe 202 is uniformly installed through the outside of the outer heat box 201. A silicone rubber ring 203 is bonded inside the outer heat box 201.
[0038] Several external heating boxes 201 are covered with a middle insulating layer 204. Each middle insulating layer 204 has a vent hole 213 corresponding to the vent pipe 202. An insulating film 214 is glued to one end of the vent pipe 202 to allow air to pass through the vent hole 213.

Vent holes 206 are evenly distributed on the outer side of the spiral heat-conducting layer 205. Heating wires 207 are wound around the gaps in the spiral heat-conducting layer 205. The outer insulating layer 208 is then covered around the spiral heat-conducting layer 205. Vent holes 206 are evenly distributed on the outer side of the outer insulating layer 208. The cable has a deformation groove 209, and a protective film 210 is wrapped around the outer side of the outer insulation layer 208. The end face of the outer heat box 201 is circular. A heat-conducting inner ring 211 is embedded inside the outer heat box 201. The inner side of the heat-conducting inner ring 211 is attached to the outer side of the inner conductor 1. A heat-conducting outer ring 212 is embedded inside the outer heat box 201. The outer side of the heat-conducting outer ring 212 is attached to the middle insulation layer 204 to improve the heat transfer effect. The outer edge of the filling layer 215 is aligned with the outer edge of the heat-conducting outer ring 212. The end of the vent pipe 202 and the outer side of the outer insulation layer 208 are in the same curved surface to ensure that the inside of the cable is tight and reduce internal gaps.
[0039] An auxiliary de-icing assembly 3 is installed on the outside of the protective film 210. The auxiliary de-icing assembly 3 includes a left retaining ring 301, a right retaining ring 302, a support protrusion 303, an ice crushing box 304, a compression spring 305, an ice crushing wheel 306, an ice melting tank 307, a docking plate 308, a plug-in hole 309, a plug-in rod 310, a connecting nut 311, a balance frame 312, a connecting frame 313, a guide hole 314, a guide rod 315, a damping block 316, a buffer spring 317, and a compression trolley 318.
[0040] A left retaining ring 301 is snapped onto one side of the protective film 210. A right retaining ring 302 is hinged to the top of the left retaining ring 301. Supporting brackets 303 are welded to the top and one side of both the left and right retaining rings 301 and 302. An ice crushing box 304 is slidably snapped into the inside of the supporting bracket 303. One end of the ice crushing box 304 is connected to the inside of the supporting bracket 303 by a compression spring 305. An ice crushing wheel 306 is symmetrically rotated and installed inside the ice crushing box 304. An ice melting groove 307 is opened in the middle of the ice crushing wheel 306.
[0041] Both the left retaining ring 301 and the right retaining ring 302 have a butt plate 308 welded to their bottom ends. A insertion hole 309 is formed in the middle of the butt plate 308, and an insertion rod 310 is fitted inside the insertion hole 309. The left retaining ring 301 and the right retaining ring 302 are identical in shape and size. The insertion rod 310 is composed of a hexagonal prism and a screw. The insertion hole 309 is a regular hexagon. The outer side of the hexagonal end of the insertion rod 310 fits against the inner side of the insertion hole 309, facilitating the connection of the insertion rod 310 to the insertion hole 309. One end of the insertion rod 310 is threaded to a connecting nut 311. A balance frame 312 is welded to the end of the insertion rod 310 away from the connecting nut 311. Both ends of the balance frame 312 are welded to connecting... The frame 313 has a guide hole 314 on its top surface. A guide rod 315 is slidably installed inside the guide hole 314. A damping block 316 is fixedly installed at the top of the guide rod 315. Limiting plates are glued to both sides of the damping block 316. The inner side of the limiting plate is attached to the outer side of the top of the connecting frame 313, so that the damping block 316 and the guide hole 314 can always be kept parallel. The opposing surfaces of the damping block 316 and the connecting frame 313 are connected by a buffer spring 317. A squeezing trolley 318 is connected to one side of the damping block 316. A contact wheel is installed on the side of the squeezing trolley 318 near the protective film 210, and the contact wheel is attached to the protective film 210 to facilitate the removal of ice layer on the outside of the cable.
[0042] The working principle and usage process of this invention: The outer heating box 201 is sequentially sleeved on the outside of the inner conductor 1. A reinforcing rod 216 is placed in front of the outer heating box 201. The filling layer 215 is added through an extruder. The middle insulation layer 204 is wrapped on the outside of the outer heating box 201 and the filling layer 215 through an extruder. At this time, it is important to ensure that the materials of the filling layer 215 and the middle insulation layer 204 do not block the air outlet pipe 202. Then, a spiral heat-conducting layer 205 and a spiral heating wire 207 are wrapped on the outside of the middle insulation layer 204. Then, an outer insulation layer 208 is wrapped on the outside of the spiral heat-conducting layer 205 through an extruder. A protective film 210 made of polytetrafluoroethylene is wrapped on the outside of the outer insulation layer 208 to complete the production of the cable.
[0043] After the cable is laid, if ice forms on the outside of the cable, the power supply to the heating wire 207 is turned on. The heating wire 207 starts to heat up and melt the ice layer near the protective film 210. Since the inner conductor 1 also heats up during normal use, the heat from both is transferred to the outer heat box 201 through the inner heat-conducting ring 211 and the outer heat-conducting ring 212. The air in the silicone rubber ring 203 and the outer heat box 201 will expand due to the heat. Since the thermal expansion rate of the silicone rubber ring 203 is higher than that of air, the air in the outer heat box 201 will be discharged from the air outlet 202 to the space between the middle insulation layer 204 and the outer insulation layer 208 due to the increase in internal air pressure. Since the deformation groove 209 is thinner, the increased internal air pressure will push the deformation groove 209 to bulge outward. Under the dual action of heating and melting and inner squeezing, the ice layer on the outside of the cable is more likely to break and detach from the outside of the overhead line, accelerating de-icing and improving de-icing efficiency. This method requires less heat and consumes less energy.
[0044] If the ice layer outside the overhead line is too thick, it is difficult to remove the ice by the protective de-icing component 2 alone, and the de-icing effect is poor. A left retaining ring 301 and a right retaining ring 302 can be sleeved on the outside of the overhead line and sleeved on the outside of the cable. The ring structure formed by the left retaining ring 301 and the right retaining ring 302 is perpendicular to the cable axis. The ice crushing box 304 is pushed by the compression spring 305, the ice crushing wheel 306 contacts the ice layer, the two docking plates 308 are in contact with each other, the plug rod 310 passes through the plug hole 309, the connecting nut 311 rotates and fixes the balance frame 312, the guide rod 315 passes through the guide hole 314 on both sides of the balance frame 312, and the compression trolley 318 is installed.
[0045] The bottom ends of the left retaining ring 301 and the right retaining ring 302 are connected to insulated traction ropes, which pull the auxiliary de-icing assembly 3 to move along the overhead line. During the movement, the rollers of the squeezing trolley 318 always contact the outside of the overhead line and move up and down according to the different thicknesses of the outer side of the cable. The buffer spring 317 deforms in coordination. During the movement, the ice melting groove 307 of the ice crushing wheel 306 squeezes the outside of the ice layer, accelerating the breaking of the outer ice layer. When it moves to the deformation groove 209, the squeezing spring 305 will cause the ice crushing wheel 306 to impact the outside of the ice layer, accelerating the breaking of the ice layer and making the de-icing effect better. Different de-icing structures are selected according to the thickness of the ice layer to further improve the de-icing effect and efficiency.
[0046] Furthermore, during the ice melting process, the deformation of the deformation groove 209 of the outer insulation layer 208 when it encounters the ice crushing wheel 306 accelerates the cracking of the ice layer at that location under the dual action of the inside and outside. The two components can work independently, and when they work together, they will have a better ice melting and de-icing effect.
