Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of photovoltaic cable protection, in particular to a photovoltaic cable protection device. Background Art

[0002] Because DC cables in photovoltaic areas have high voltages and are exposed to wind, rain, and sunlight during use, lack of protective measures can easily lead to safety hazards such as exposed interfaces and damaged cable sheaths, which can even affect the normal operation of the photovoltaic system. Therefore, when installing DC cables in photovoltaic areas, they are usually protected by a sleeve.

[0003] Existing photovoltaic cable protection devices mostly use several sections of single-layer complete casing, which are passed through the free ends of the cables in sequence. The installation and connection are very troublesome, and sometimes bending is required according to the specific terrain during the installation process. Most casings do not have this function and need to be disconnected at the bend, which cannot provide complete protection. In addition, adjacent casings need to be heated to soften the casings to facilitate connection between adjacent casings, which reduces installation efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] 1. Technical Problems Solved

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is that several sections of complete sleeves are sleeved together, which makes installation and connection very troublesome, reduces installation efficiency, and cannot be bent, which reduces practicality.

[0006] 2. Technical Solution

[0008] Furthermore, the outer tube is evenly connected along the axial direction with a plurality of hollow first annular grooves, and the inner tube is relatively provided with a hollow second annular groove, the outer wall of the second annular groove slides with the inner wall of the first annular groove, and the second annular groove and the first annular groove are both disconnected from the notch. When the photovoltaic cable is stored, the inner tube is driven, and the inner tube slides with the second annular groove and the first annular groove so that the notch of the inner tube no longer cooperates with the notch of the outer tube, thereby facilitating the separation of the cable from the external environment and preventing the cable from being easily oxidized or corroded by external conditions.

[0009] Furthermore, the inner tube is respectively connected with limit bars on both sides of the free end of the second annular groove, and a support ring is provided in the second annular groove relative to the limit bars. A gap is provided between the support ring and the second annular groove. The support ring is supported by the limit bars, so that the support ring can assist in supporting the sleeve and improve the rigidity of the inner tube.

[0010] Furthermore, a sealing layer is connected to the outer wall of the inner tube near the notch, and the sealing layer abuts the inner wall of the outer tube, which facilitates sealing protection of the photovoltaic cable and reduces the probability of rainwater introduction.

[0011] Furthermore, the limiting member includes a limiting sleeve connected to one end of the outer tube, and sliders are respectively connected on both sides of the inner wall of the free end of the limiting sleeve, and guide grooves and limiting grooves are respectively provided on both sides of the outer wall of the other end of the outer tube. The guide groove and the limiting groove are both matched with the slider, and the guide groove is arranged along the axial direction of the outer tube and passes through the free end of the outer tube. The other end of the guide groove is connected to the middle part of the limiting groove, and the limiting groove is arranged perpendicular to the guide groove. First, the slider is introduced along the open end of the guide groove until the slider slides to the limiting groove and rotates, so that the slider and the limiting groove cooperate to achieve limitation. At this time, the free ends of adjacent outer tubes and the free ends of adjacent inner tubes are respectively abutted against each other.

[0012] Furthermore, the outer tube is coated with a reflective layer, which reduces light penetration and heat accumulation in the outer tube, thereby avoiding affecting the performance of the cable.

[0013] 3. Beneficial Effects

[0014] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are:

[0015] When the notches on the inner tube and the outer tube are aligned, the photovoltaic cable can be introduced into the inner tube through the notch, and then the photovoltaic cable can be stored by misaligning the notches on the inner tube and the outer tube, which facilitates the connection of the photovoltaic cable and avoids the need to insert it from the ends one by one. At the same time, it also ensures that the photovoltaic cable is protected from external light and increases the oxidation rate, thereby extending the service life of the photovoltaic cable; the inner tube and the outer tube are both corrugated structures that cooperate with each other, so that the photovoltaic cable can be bent as needed during installation; the setting of the limiter facilitates the quick connection of adjacent outer tubes to avoid loosening between adjacent sleeves and reducing the protective effect of the photovoltaic cable.

A notch 3 is provided through the inner tube 1, and the second annular groove 5 and the first annular groove 4 are both disconnected from the notch 3. The inner tube 1 is respectively connected with a limiting strip 6 on both sides of the free end of the second annular groove 5, and a support ring 7 is provided in the second annular groove 5 relative to the limiting strip 6, and a gap is provided between the support ring 7 and the second annular groove 5.

[0024] The notches 3 on the inner tube 1 and the outer tube 2 facilitate the introduction of cables, reduce the time required for cable segment-by-segment connection, and improve installation efficiency. The corrugated structures on the inner tube 1 and the outer tube 2 facilitate bending the sleeve according to installation requirements. The limit strips 6 and the support rings 7 provide auxiliary support for the sleeve, thereby improving the rigidity of the inner tube 1. At the same time, the gap facilitates the expansion and contraction adjustment of the inner tube 1 and the outer tube 2 through the corrugated structure.

[0025] Combined with attachment Figure 1 The outer tube 2 is coated with a reflective layer 13. The reflective layer 13 is provided to reduce light penetration, reduce heat accumulation in the outer tube 2, and avoid affecting the performance of the cable.

[0026] Example 2

[0027] Combined with attachment Figure 2 and Figure 4 The free ends of the adjacent outer tubes 2 are respectively connected with limit members, and the limit members include a limit sleeve 9 connected to one end of the outer tube 2. The inner walls of the free ends of the limit sleeves 9 are respectively connected with sliders 10. The outer walls of the other end of the outer tube 2 are respectively provided with guide grooves 11 and limit grooves 12.

[0028] The provision of the limiting member facilitates the connection of adjacent outer tubes 2 to each other, thereby preventing adjacent sleeves from becoming loose and reducing the protective effect on the photovoltaic cable.

[0029] The specific usage is as follows:

[0030] First, align the notches 3 on the inner tube 1 and the outer tube 2, and the photovoltaic cable can be introduced into the inner tube 1 through the notch 3; when the photovoltaic cable is stored, by driving the inner tube 1, the inner tube 1 slides through the second annular groove 5 and the first annular groove 4 so that the notch 3 of the inner tube 1 no longer cooperates with the notch 3 of the outer tube 2. At this time, the notches 3 on the inner tube 1 and the outer tube 2 are misaligned, which makes it convenient to separate the cable from the external environment, avoid the cable from being easily oxidized or corroded by external conditions, and avoid the photovoltaic cable from being exposed to external light to increase the oxidation rate, thereby extending the service life of the photovoltaic cable.

[0031] The inner tube 1 and the outer tube 2 are both corrugated structures that cooperate with each other and can be bent as needed during the installation of the photovoltaic cable;

[0032] The setting of the limiter makes it easy to connect adjacent outer tubes 2 to each other, avoiding loosening between adjacent sleeves and reducing the protection effect of the photovoltaic cable. First, the slider 10 is introduced along the open end of the guide groove 11 until the slider 10 slides to the limit groove 12 and rotates, so that the slider 10 and the limit groove 12 cooperate to achieve limitation. At this time, the free ends of adjacent outer tubes 2 and the free ends of adjacent inner tubes 1 are respectively abutted against each other.

[0033] After the protective sleeve is installed, the reflective layer 13 is provided to reduce light penetration, reduce heat accumulation in the outer tube 2, and avoid affecting the performance of the cable.
