DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings Figures 1-7 The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings

A temperature difference plate 21 is provided inside the thermoelectric layer 21, with metal wires 25 extending from both ends of the temperature difference plate 21. A control box 22 is provided on the opposite side of the temperature difference plate 21, and a control circuit 221 is provided inside the control box 22. The control circuit 221 is electrically connected to the metal wires 25. A switching component 24 is provided on one side of the control circuit 221, and the control circuit 221 is electrically connected to the switching component 24. A heating resistance wire 23 is connected in series to the switching component 24, and the heating resistance wire 23 is spirally arranged around the thermoelectric layer 2.

[0021] The cable jacket layer 1 is located on the outermost layer of the cable. It is made of cold-resistant, high-temperature-resistant, halogen-free, low-smoke, environmentally friendly polyolefin material, which has good physical and mechanical properties, anti-aging, high strength, weather resistance, and good wear resistance. The heating layer 2 can generate current through temperature difference and store it in the battery. It can also release the energy in the battery to provide power for heating the wires. The insulation layer 6 can electrically isolate the cable core 8 from the ground and the cores of different phases, thereby ensuring that no short circuit occurs between the ground or between phases when transmitting power. The heat insulation layer 4 mainly ensures the temperature of the power cable and has good low-temperature resistance. The rubber pads in the spacer layer 5 can support the internal space and make its structure stable. At the same time, the vacuum design can insulate the spacer layer. The isolation layer 6 is coated with heat radiation material to prevent heat loss.

[0022] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The thermoelectric plate 21 includes an upper ceramic plate 211, a P-type thermoelectric material 212, an N-type thermoelectric material 213, a conductor 214, and a lower ceramic plate 215. One end of the P-type thermoelectric material 212 and one end of the N-type thermoelectric material 213 are connected through the conductor 214 to form a thermoelectric unit. The conductor 214 is attached to the lower ceramic plate 215, and the lower ceramic plate 215 is attached to the outer jacket layer 1. The other end of the P-type thermoelectric material 212 and the other end of the N-type thermoelectric material 213 are attached to the upper ceramic plate 211. The upper ceramic plate 211 is attached to the insulating layer 3. Multiple thermoelectric units are arranged between the upper ceramic plate 211 and the lower ceramic plate 215 in a rectangular array. The thermoelectric units between the upper ceramic plate 211 and the lower ceramic plate 215 are connected in series.

[0023] Thermoelectric material is a kind of functional material that can convert heat energy and electric energy, and the Seebeck effect discovered in 1821 is also called the first thermoelectric effect, which refers to a conductor with a large number of free electrons moving irregularly, and one end is heated, the electrons of the heated end move more violently due to thermal motion, and move to the other end, with the continuous movement of the electrons, the positive and negative charges are accumulated at the two ends of the conductor, thereby forming a potential difference, which is the Seebeck effect.For semiconductors, the Seebeck effect will be more obvious, and the potential difference formed at both ends will be larger, for the P-type semiconductor material 212 and the N-type semiconductor material 213 constituting the thermoelectric temperature difference sheet 21, when heating the hot end of them, the Seebeck effect will be formed, the carrier of the P-type semiconductor material is a hole, so the positive charge moves to the cold end, and the carrier of the N-type semiconductor material is an electron, so the negative charge moves to the cold end, and the positive and negative charges are accumulated on the other side of the hot end, and a potential difference is formed, which is connected to the control circuit through a metal wire to form a loop, since the potential difference generated by a PN semiconductor unit is small, the generated current is limited, so a plurality of unit arrays are distributed and connected in series to increase the generated current, and the generated current is stored in the battery.

[0024] Referring to Figure 4 , the on-off assembly 24 comprises an outer shell 241, a first conductor column 242 is arranged in the outer shell 241, a second conductor column 243 is arranged on one side of the first conductor column 242, the second conductor column 243 is not in contact with the first conductor column 242, a first contact 244 is arranged on the first conductor column 242, a second contact 245 is arranged on the second conductor column 243, the first contact 244 is not in contact with the second contact 243, and the first conductor column 242 is made of a bimetallic strip.

[0025] The bimetallic strip is made of two metals with different thermal expansion coefficients. The side of the first conductor column 242 close to the first contact 244 is made of a metal with a large coefficient, and the side of the first conductor column 242 away from the first contact 244 is made of a metal with a small coefficient. When the temperature rises, the deformation of the metal with a large coefficient is greater than that of the metal with a small coefficient, the first conductor column 242 bends away from the first contact 244, the first contact 244 and the second contact 243 are disconnected, and the heating resistance wire 23 stops heating;When the temperature drops, the first contact 244 and the second contact 243 are in contact, the circuit is conducted, the resistance wire 23 is heated, and the temperature of the resistance wire 23 is increased, so that the ice covering the cable is melted.

[0026] Referring to Figure 1 , the spacing layer 5 is provided with a rubber pad 51, one end of the rubber pad 51 is attached to the isolation layer 6, and the other end is attached to the heat preservation layer 4.

[0027] The rubber pad 51 in the spacing layer 5 can support the internal space, so that the structure is stable, and the spacing layer can be heat-insulated through the hollow design. Referring to Figure 1 The isolation layer 6 is a polyester film material, and the side of the isolation layer 6 close to the cable core 8 is coated with a heat radiation reflecting material.

[0028] The polyester film is a plastic made of polyester resin as the main raw material, which has excellent physical properties and chemical stability. The polyester film has high strength, high modulus, good heat resistance, good chemical resistance and other characteristics. In addition, the polyester film also has excellent temperature resistance and can withstand low and high temperature environments. There are three forms of heat conduction: radiation, conduction and convection. The spacing layer realizes heat preservation through the conduction and convection modes, and the isolation layer reflects heat radiation by coating with a heat radiation reflecting material, so as to lock the heat and achieve the purpose of heat preservation.

[0029] Referring to Figure 1 The material of the heat preservation layer 4 is silicone rubber.

[0030] Silicone rubber is a rubber material with good mechanical properties and heat resistance, which is widely used in various fields. The thermal conductivity of ordinary silicone rubber is generally between 0.1-0.2 W / (m•K), which can be used as a heat insulation material. Therefore, silicone rubber is a material with heat insulation performance, which can prevent heat from being transferred from one object to another object. It has good heat insulation performance, and the application range of silicone rubber is between-60℃ and 200℃, which can ensure that the cable can resist cold weather in highland areas, improve the application range of the charging pile cable, and improve the service life of the cable.

[0031] The control circuit 221 includes an energy storage battery and an adjusting circuit.

[0032] The battery can store the generated current, and the adjusting circuit can control the release of the stored electrical energy to provide energy for the heating of the heating wire.

[0033] The cable core 8 is generally made of high-quality copper or aluminum material to ensure the stability and reliability of the electrical conductivity in low temperature environment.

[0034] Color marks are provided on the outer sleeve layer 1 where the thermoelectric sheet 21 and the heating resistance wire 23 are located. The positions of the thermoelectric sheet and the heating resistance wire are marked by colors to provide a reminder when cutting the cable.

[0035] The thermoelectric layer is provided with the thermoelectric sheet 21 and the heating resistance wire 23 at intervals.

[0036] The implementation principle of the novel cold-resistant and anti-freezing cable of the embodiment of the present application is as follows: when the weather is fine, the sunlight is directly incident on the outer surface of the cable in the daytime, which causes the temperature of the outer surface of the cable to increase; since one side of the temperature difference sheet is attached to the sheath layer, the temperature of one end of the temperature difference sheet increases; since the temperature of the other end is low, a temperature difference is generated between the two ends of the temperature difference sheet; due to the Seebeck thermoelectric effect, a corresponding current is generated in the temperature difference sheet; the current flows through the control circuit and is stored by the charging battery in the control circuit; under rainy and snowy weather, thick ice layers are formed on the surface of the cable; when the air temperature decreases, the silicone rubber in the opening and closing assembly generates thermal shrinkage and expansion, which causes deformation, so that the first conductor column and the second conductor column are in contact, the circuit is turned on, the resistance wire is electrified to generate heat, the ice layer on the surface of the cable is melted, and when the temperature reaches a certain height, the first conductor column and the second conductor column are separated from each other, the circuit is turned off, and the resistance wire stops heating, so that the cable is prevented from being damaged due to excessively high temperature.

[0037] The above are preferred embodiments of the present application, and do not limit the protection scope of the present application; therefore, equivalent changes made on the basis of the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
