Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power cable technology, specifically to a high-voltage cable intermediate joint based on a multi-layer semi-conductive shielding structure. Background Technology

[0002] High-voltage cable joints are a critical weak link in power transmission networks, and their long-term reliability is directly related to the safety and stability of the entire power grid system.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN 204681063 U discloses a high-voltage cable intermediate joint, including an outer sheath, stress-dispersing adhesive wrapped around the outer sheath, a simple shielding layer, a semiconducting layer, an intermediate joint tube, and a conductor connecting tube. The intermediate joint tube and the conductor connecting tube are located inside the outer sheath in a straight line. One end of the intermediate joint tube is close to the end of the conductor connecting tube, and the other end of the intermediate joint tube is connected to the simple shielding layer. A semiconductor self-adhesive tape and a semiconducting layer are provided at the bottom of the conductor connecting tube, with one end of the semiconducting layer close to one end of the semiconductor self-adhesive tape. A core insulation layer is also provided at the top of the conductor connecting tube. A stress tube is also sleeved on the simple shielding layer. A cable steel armor is also provided at the end of the outer sheath, adjacent to the stress tube. Through the above structure, this utility model can disperse the electrical stress at the break point of the cable shielding layer, ensure a uniform electric field distribution in the cable intermediate joint, and make the connection end of the high-voltage cable intermediate joint have good airtightness, aging resistance, and good electrical performance.

[0004] However, the above solution still has the following problems:

[0005] First, the uneven electric field distribution makes it easy for electric field distortion and concentration to occur at conductor connections and insulation restoration points, forming partial discharge initiation points, which, under long-term action, leads to aging and breakdown of the insulation material.

[0006] Secondly, the interface sealing and moisture-proof performance is insufficient, and moisture and humidity in the operating environment can easily penetrate into the joint, which not only reduces the insulation performance, but also causes water tree discharge under the action of electric field, accelerating the insulation damage.

[0007] Lacking effective status perception and intelligent control capabilities, staff cannot monitor key internal conditions such as temperature and humidity in real time. Furthermore, it lacks proactive protection against harsh environments such as low temperature and high humidity, making preventative maintenance difficult. In particular, in areas with large temperature differences between day and night or humid environments, condensation inside the joints is difficult to eradicate, becoming a potential source of failure and failing to meet normal usage requirements.

[0008] Therefore, the present invention needs to design a high-voltage cable intermediate joint based on a multi-layer semi-conductive shielding structure to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the Invention

A temperature sensor is installed inside the heating device.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a micro motor is fixedly connected inside the heating device and on the side of the heating wire away from the fan. The output end of the micro motor is fixedly connected to the fan. Removable filter plates are installed on both sides of the heating device. The two removable filter plates are used for air intake and exhaust processing, which facilitates unified cleaning later.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, cables are installed inside the conductor connecting tube, the first connector insulating sleeve, and the second connector insulating sleeve, and equally spaced internal insulating plates are installed inside the first connector insulating sleeve and outside the cable.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the conductor connecting tube has a first mounting cavity for cable installation, and both the first connector insulating sleeve and the second connector insulating sleeve have a second mounting cavity for cable installation.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a storage battery is fixedly connected inside the auxiliary temperature measuring mechanism and on one side of the heating device, and a third mounting cavity is opened inside the intelligent connector seat.

On the outside of the conductor connecting tube, side insulating plates and an outer shielding plate are alternately arranged. The side insulating plates are made of ethylene propylene rubber with added carbon black, possessing a certain volume resistivity, serving as insulation and buffering. The different dielectric constants and conductivities of these two materials form a stepped dielectric parameter transition zone. When the main insulation shielding layer of the cable body is interrupted at this point, this multi-layer structure can effectively and smoothly conduct and homogenize the electric field lines, avoiding abrupt changes and concentrations in the electric field. The entire joint shell is then sealed a second time through a first sealing ring and a second sealing ring. First, the heating wire is activated to generate heat; simultaneously, a micro motor drives the fan; hot air is delivered through a conveying pipe, exiting from the bottom of the positioning plug, and evenly blown into the top space of the conductor connecting tube and the surrounding insulation interface area; this slightly raises the temperature of the critical area inside the joint, ensuring it remains above the ambient dew point temperature, thus fundamentally preventing condensation and eliminating the potential for insulation failures caused by moisture; if the monitored temperature exceeds the preset overload alarm threshold, the control chip can send an alarm signal to the maintenance center via the built-in remote communication module, indicating possible poor contact or overload operation, thus providing a fault warning; the battery and heating equipment are properly installed through an internal mounting slot within the auxiliary temperature measuring mechanism, and the heating equipment and battery are reinforced with a side positioning plate and a second positioning bolt.

[0056] Please see Figures 1-7 The working principle of this invention is as follows:

[0057] This invention comprises a conductor connecting tube 1, a first connector insulating sleeve 2, and a connector intelligent connector base 3. In use:

[0058] Working principle of electric field optimization and insulation sealing:

[0059] Conductor connection and base insulation: The cable conductors are electrically connected through conductor connection tube 1. On its outside, the first joint insulation sleeve 2 and the second joint insulation sleeve 23 are made of cross-linked polyethylene XLPE, which serve as the main insulator, wrapping the connection area and bearing the main working voltage and impulse voltage.

[0060] Electric field averaging mechanism of multilayer semiconducting shielding structure: This is one of the core innovations of this invention. Side insulating plate 11 and outer shielding plate 13 are alternately arranged on the outside of conductor connecting tube 1.

[0061] The side insulation plate 11 is made of ethylene propylene rubber with added carbon black, which has a certain volume resistivity and plays a role in insulation and buffering.

[0062] The outer shielding plate 13 is made of polyurethane or PVC, which has a lower resistivity and serves as a semi-conductive shielding layer.

[0063] The different dielectric constants and conductivity of these two layers of materials form a stepped dielectric parameter transition zone. When the main insulation shielding layer of the cable body is interrupted here, this multi-layer structure can effectively and smoothly conduct and homogenize electric field lines, avoiding abrupt changes and concentrations in the electric field.

[0064] Double sealing and moisture-proof mechanism:

[0065] Interface sealing: At the interface between the first joint insulating sleeve 2 and the cable insulation, a waterproof sealing gasket 22 made of ethylene propylene rubber is provided to provide an initial elastic compression seal.

[0066] Structural sealing: The entire connector shell is sealed twice by the first sealing ring 12 and the second sealing ring 24. The semi-conductive ethylene propylene rubber inner protective layer 25 on the inner wall of the second connector insulating sleeve 23 not only realizes the electric field transition, but its rubber elastomer also helps to enhance the sealing of the interface, forming a multi-layer moisture barrier from the inside to the outside.

[0067] Working principle of intelligent monitoring and active protection:

[0068] Status perception center: The control chip is used to control the operation of positioning sensor 32, battery 44, fan 53, micro motor 54, heating wire 55 and temperature sensor 57, realizing unified management of power equipment. Temperature sensor 57 measures environmental parameters, converts them into signals and sends them to the control chip. The control chip receives the signals and processes them, and generates corresponding control signals according to the preset control algorithm. Positioning sensor 32 provides geographical location information, which facilitates asset management and precise positioning.

[0069] Temperature monitoring and intelligent temperature control: This is another core innovation of this invention;

[0070] Monitoring: Temperature sensor 57 installed inside heating equipment 5 monitors the ambient temperature of key parts of the joint in real time and transmits the data to the control chip;

[0071] Decision-making and execution: The control chip has a built-in algorithm that automatically activates the active anti-condensation mode when the monitored temperature is lower than the preset condensation risk threshold, such as being lower than a certain difference from the ambient dew point temperature.

[0072] First, the heating element 55 is activated to generate heat;

[0073] Simultaneously, the micro motor 54 is activated to drive the fan 53 to operate;

[0074] Hot air is delivered through the delivery pipe 42 and through the outlet at the bottom of the positioning rod 41 to the top space of the conductor connecting pipe 1 and the surrounding insulation interface area.

[0075] It can slightly raise the temperature of critical areas inside the joint, keeping it always above the ambient dew point temperature, thereby fundamentally preventing condensation and eliminating potential insulation failures caused by moisture.

[0076] In high temperature warning mode: if the monitored temperature exceeds the preset overload alarm threshold, the control chip can send an alarm signal to the operation and maintenance center through the built-in remote communication module, indicating that there may be poor contact or overload operation, thus realizing fault warning;

[0077] Energy and mechanical structure: The storage battery 44 provides an independent power supply, and the auxiliary temperature measuring mechanism 4 is inserted into a predetermined position through the positioning rod 41 and fixed by bolts and intelligent connector 3, realizing modular installation and rapid maintenance;

[0078] The bottom of the intelligent connector 3 is equipped with a slot for mounting the auxiliary temperature measuring mechanism 4. A bolt hole 35 is provided on one side of the intelligent connector 3, and a third positioning bolt is provided inside the bolt hole 35. The third positioning bolt and the bolt hole 35 work together to reinforce the connection between the intelligent connector 3 and the auxiliary temperature measuring mechanism 4. The first sealing ring 12 provides a sealing effect on the outside of the conductor connecting pipe 1, and the second sealing ring 24 provides a sealing effect on the outside of the second connector insulating sleeve 23. The third mounting cavity 33 is used to install the first positioning bolt 34, thereby enabling quick installation and separation of the intelligent connector 3 and the conductor connecting pipe 1, reducing the labor intensity of daily maintenance. The sliding groove ensures that the conveying pipe 42 is stably installed inside the positioning rod 41. The internal mounting groove 43 inside the auxiliary temperature measuring mechanism 4 is used to install the battery 44 and the heating equipment 5. The side positioning plate 51 and the second positioning bolt 52 work together to reinforce the connection between the heating equipment 5 and the battery 44.

[0090] Heating equipment 5: Heating wire 55, power 80W; Fan 53, air volume 5CFM;

[0091] Control logic:

[0092] The control chip collects temperature sensor data T1 57 times per minute;

[0093] Meanwhile, the control chip can acquire the ambient dew point temperature T2 by either having a built-in barometric pressure sensor or receiving remote meteorological data.

[0094] Anti-condensation mode activation conditions: When T1-T2≤2℃, it is determined that there is a risk of condensation. The intelligent control module immediately starts the heating wire 55 and fan 53 to deliver warm air through the delivery pipe 42.

[0095] Stopping condition: Heating shall be stopped when T1-T2≥5℃;

[0096] Over-temperature alarm conditions: When T1≥75℃, considering that the long-term allowable operating temperature of the conductor is 90℃, the control chip sends a first-level alarm signal to the monitoring background through the 4G / NB-IoT communication module, which can be integrated into the smart connector 3; when T1≥85℃, a second-level emergency alarm signal is sent.

[0097] Battery 44: Lithium thionyl chloride battery pack, capacity 12V10Ah, can support the intelligent system standby for more than 5 years without external power supply, and supports continuous heating operation for more than 72 hours.

[0098] 3. Assembly and Effects:

[0099] During on-site installation, the first step is to crimp the cable conductors and grind the main insulation.

[0100] Insert the multi-layer semi-conductive shielding structure assembly in sequence and tighten it with a torque wrench to ensure that each layer is in close contact.

[0101] Install the insulating sleeves of the first and second connectors and complete the sealing;

[0102] Finally, the intelligent connector 3 with integrated intelligent temperature control system is aligned with the slot through the positioning rod 41 and fixed with the first positioning bolt 34 and the third positioning bolt.

[0103] Test results: In a laboratory environment simulating a day-night temperature difference cycle of 25℃-5℃ and a relative humidity of 95%, the traditional connector showed obvious condensation on the cold end surface, while the humidity in the key area inside the connector of the present invention remained below 70%, with no condensation. Partial discharge test showed that at 1.7 times the rated phase voltage, the apparent discharge of the connector of the present invention was less than 5pC, which is significantly better than the existing connectors, which are usually required to be less than 10pC.
