Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of cables, in particular to a tensile cable for an AC charging seat used in new energy vehicles. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, domestic new energy vehicles have entered a stage of steady development. In order to better promote the healthy development of the new energy vehicle market, the country has repeatedly proposed to build a high-quality charging infrastructure system. As a key connection device between car piles and new energy vehicles in the charging process, the new energy vehicle charging seat plays an indispensable role. It charges the battery pack through its internal AC connection line and provides endurance power for the vehicle. Along with the development opportunities of the domestic new energy market, the market share of charging seat cables has continued to expand.
[0003] In this fiercely competitive market, charging cable manufacturers are trying to attract end customers and expand their market share by continuously lowering product prices. However, the ignition of the price war will inevitably lead some suppliers to sacrifice product quality and use low-cost materials and manufacturing processes to produce charging cable products. Even if some products meet the requirements of pre-production inspections, it is difficult to guarantee safety and reliability during the actual charging process, and the product life is also short.
[0004] The prior art has the following problems:
[0005] 1. The cable structure is a PP filling structure. The cable is prone to bulging and cracking under frequent bending;
[0006] 2. The insulation layer is a single plastic structure. In the case of frequent bending, the conductor is easy to pierce the insulation layer;
[0007] 3. Due to reason 1, in order to ensure the current carrying capacity of the cable, the conductor cross-section of the cable must be increased, which increases the cost;
[0008] 4. The sheath layer is a single plastic structure. In the case of high temperature in summer, the material is prone to oil leakage. In the case of low temperature in winter, the cable material becomes hard as the temperature drops, and the sheath is prone to cracking.
[0009] 5. It does not have a tensile structure and the cable cannot be stretched frequently.
[0010] Considering the market requirements for the characteristics of charging base cables, there is an urgent need for a charging base AC cable that is tensile-resistant, highly flexible, and has excellent mechanical properties. Utility Model Content
[0011] In view of the shortcomings or deficiencies of the above-mentioned prior art, the utility model provides a tensile cable for an AC charging seat for new energy vehicles, which can replace traditional new energy vehicle charging AC cables, has stable performance, advanced technology, and is a low-smoke, halogen-free, flame-retardant, green product.
[0012] The purpose of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0013] A tensile cable for an AC charging station for a new energy vehicle comprises a plurality of conductors and a protective layer wrapped around the conductors, wherein the protective layer has a structure from inside to outside of: an insulating layer, an isolation layer, a tensile layer, and a sheath layer;
[0014] The conductor is made of oxygen-free metal copper wires twisted together, the number of copper wires in the conductor is between 7 and 300, and the diameter of a single copper wire is between 0.12 and 0.50 mm;
[0015] The insulating layer is wrapped around the outside of the conductor and is made of hard EPDM rubber material of corresponding temperature grade, and the insulation concentricity is ≥80%;
[0016] The isolation layer is filled in the gaps and outer layer of several conductors with insulating layers, and is made of TPU material of corresponding temperature grade, with concentricity ≥ 70%;
[0017] The tensile layer is wrapped outside the isolation layer and is made of tensile fiber with a weaving density of 90%;
[0018] The sheath layer is wrapped around the outside of the tensile layer and is made of TPU material of corresponding temperature grade, with concentricity ≥ 70%.
[0019] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0020] 1. By extruding hard EPDM rubber as the insulation layer, the excellent insulation performance of the core is ensured while the temperature resistance level of the cable is improved, and the insulation material is not easily deformed by heat;
[0021] 2. The isolation layer is produced by extruding the cable structure, which strengthens the stability of the internal core and increases the overall strength of the cable;
[0022] 3. By weaving the tensile layer, the tensile performance of the cable is increased while ensuring the stability of the structure;
[0023] 4. By extruding TPU as the sheath layer, the cable's excellent mechanical properties are ensured while improving its anti-friction performance and being able to withstand harsh environments; BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
