Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of new energy liquid-cooled charging cables, in particular to a small outer diameter liquid-cooled charging cable. Background Art
[0002] In order to ensure the driving range and quick charging, the new energy vehicle field requires large battery capacity and short charging time. At present, the main way to achieve fast charging of new energy vehicles is DC charging. DC high-power charging piles have the characteristics of low voltage and large current, but a large amount of heat will be generated during the charging process, which will cause the temperature of the charging pile cable (hereinafter referred to as the charging cable) to rise rapidly. Excessive temperature of the charging cable will cause insulation damage, reduced charging stability, and even burns to personnel. At present, the heat dissipation performance of the high-current fast-charging charging pile cable is mainly improved by setting a liquid cooling circulation pipeline inside the charging pile cable, and the heat is taken away by the circulation of the coolant to achieve the effect of cooling. However, the addition of a liquid cooling circulation pipeline also increases the outer diameter of the charging cable. For example, the outer diameter of the existing 300A DC fast-charging cable is generally above 40mm, which brings obstacles to the user's hand holding the charging cable, especially for small hands and female users. It brings many inconveniences. Utility Model Content

The change or adjustment of their relative relationship should also be regarded as the scope of the implementation of the utility model without substantially changing the technical content.
[0021] See also Figure 1 The utility model provides a small outer diameter liquid-cooled charging cable, including an outer sheath 1 formed with an inner cavity, a liquid inlet pipe 4, 2n main power lines 6, a ground line 7, an auxiliary power line 2, a signal line group 3 and a liquid outlet pipe 5 arranged in the inner cavity of the outer sheath 1.
[0022] Specifically, the liquid inlet pipe 4 is arranged at the center of the inner cavity of the outer sheath 1, and 2n main power lines 6 are symmetrically arranged on the outer periphery of the liquid inlet pipe 4. In this embodiment, there are two main power lines 6. Figure 1 As shown, they are symmetrically arranged on the outer circumference of the liquid inlet pipe 4. The lines connecting the two end points of the outer arc surface of each main power line 6 and the center of the tube circle of the liquid inlet pipe 4 form a fan shape, and the arc shape of the inner arc surface of each main power line 6 is adapted to the arc shape of the outer circumference of the liquid inlet pipe 4. Each main power line 6 includes a power line center conductor 61 that is compactly arranged to form the inner and outer arc surfaces of the main power line 6, and a power line insulation layer 62 wrapped around the outer circumference of the power line center conductor 61. Among them, the power line insulation layer 62 is made of cross-linked polyolefin material.
[0023] Specifically, the ground wire 7 is arranged around the outer circumference of the liquid inlet pipe 4. In this embodiment, there is one ground wire 7. Figure 1 As shown, the ground wire 7 is arranged between two main power lines 6, and the connecting line of the centers of the tube circles of the liquid inlet pipe 4 at the two ends of the outer arc surface of the ground wire 7 forms a sector shape, and the arc shape of the inner arc surface of the ground wire 7 is adapted to the arc shape of the outer circumference of the liquid inlet pipe 4. The ground wire 7 includes a central conductor of the ground wire 7 which is compactly arranged to form the inner and outer arc surfaces of the main power line 6, and an insulating layer of the ground wire 7 which is wrapped around the outer periphery of the central conductor of the ground wire 7. Among them, the insulating layer of the ground wire 7 is made of a cross-linked polyolefin material.
[0024] The arc shape of the inner arc surface of the main power line 6 and the ground line 7 are both adapted to the arc shape of the outer circumference of the liquid inlet tube 4, which can achieve a close fit between the main power line 6 and the liquid inlet tube 4, and between the ground line 7 and the liquid inlet tube 4, and realize the effective use of the inner cavity space of the outer sheath 1. The center conductor 61 of the power line and the center conductor of the ground line 7 are tightly arranged, so that the contact between the conductor monofilaments is closer and the gap is smaller, thereby having the advantages of smaller resistance, larger current, and smaller temperature rise under current-carrying state, that is, the same cross-section conductor is achieved, the charging current is larger, and the charging efficiency is higher. The main power line 6 and the ground line 7 are arranged around the outer circumference of the liquid inlet tube 4. While the coolant circulates in the liquid inlet tube 4, it takes away the heat generated by the main power line 6 and the ground line 7 during the charging process, achieving a cooling effect and ensuring the stability of charging.
[0025] Specifically, the liquid outlet pipe 5 and the liquid inlet pipe 4 form a cooling liquid circulation channel, such as Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the liquid outlet pipe 5 is arranged on the opposite side of the ground wire 7. The auxiliary power line 2 and the signal line group 3 are arranged in the gap between the liquid inlet pipe 4, the liquid outlet pipe 5, the ground wire 7, and the main power line 6, realizing the effective utilization of the space of the inner cavity of the outer sheath 1 and reducing the outer diameter of the liquid-cooled charging cable. In order to prevent the liquid inlet pipe 4 and the liquid outlet pipe 5 from being deformed under the long-term extrusion of the main power line 6 and the ground wire 7, the liquid inlet pipe 4 and the liquid outlet pipe 5 are made of materials with high hardness and mechanical strength. In this embodiment, the liquid inlet pipe 4 and the liquid outlet pipe 5 are made of fluoroplastic drawn tubes.
[0026] The small outer diameter liquid-cooled charging cable provided by the utility model has a main power line 6 and a ground line 7 designed to have an inner arc surface that matches the outer circumferential arc of the liquid inlet pipe 4. The arc of the outer arc surface is larger than the arc of the inner arc surface, so that the space of the inner cavity of the outer sheath 1 is arranged tightly. The liquid-cooled charging cable with a charging current of 300A can be reduced from an original outer diameter of more than 40mm to 30mm, which improves the convenience of the user's hand holding, especially the convenience of use for small hands and female groups. The main power line 6 and the ground line 7 are arranged around the outer periphery of the liquid inlet pipe 4. While the coolant circulates in the liquid inlet pipe 4, it takes away the heat generated by the main power line 6 and the ground line 7 during the charging process, achieving a cooling effect and ensuring the stability of charging.
