Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a contact-type liquid-cooled charging cable, belonging to the field of new energy and energy-saving technology. Background Technology
[0002] As new energy technologies become more mature, people's requirements for them are also increasing, including the requirement for longer charging times for new energy vehicles. Long charging times reduce efficiency, thus increasing the demand for contact-type liquid-cooled charging cables for new energy vehicles.
[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of long charging time and improve charging efficiency, the cables used for charging new energy in the current technology usually use high-flow cables. However, the heat dissipation of these cables usually relies on natural heat dissipation, which cannot dissipate the generated heat in time. In addition, the heat dissipation efficiency and uniformity of the central conductor are poor, which reduces the service life of the cable and the stability of its performance during use. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a contact-type liquid-cooled charging cable. This contact-type liquid-cooled charging cable can not only improve the current carrying capacity of the cable to improve the charging efficiency, but also dissipate the heat generated during the transmission of large current in a timely manner, and improve the efficiency and uniformity of cooling and heat dissipation of the center conductor, thereby extending the service life of the cable and the stability of its performance during use.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a contact-type liquid-cooled charging cable, comprising: a cable core formed by twisting together several power cores, several control cores and a ground wire, and a sheath layer covering the outside of the cable core. A cooling tube is spaced around the outer side of the central conductor of the power core, thereby forming a cooling channel for introducing a cooling medium between the inner wall of the cooling tube and the outer surface of the central conductor. At least one strip-shaped protrusion is provided on the cooling tube of the power core between the inner wall of the cooling tube and the outer surface of the central conductor. The strip-shaped protrusion is spirally arranged on the inner wall of the cooling tube and is in abutting contact with the outer surface of the central conductor.
[0006] The following are further improvements to the above technical solution:
[0007] 1. In the above scheme, the two spirally extending strip-shaped protrusions are arranged in a centrally symmetrical manner.
[0008] 2. In the above scheme, the cooling pipe of the power core is coaxially arranged with the center conductor.
[0009] 3. In the above scheme, the four power cores are arranged sequentially along the circumference inside the sheath layer, and the cooling pipes of adjacent power cores are in contact with each other by pressing.
[0010] 4. In the above scheme, the sheath layer is a TPU sheath layer or a TPE sheath layer.
[0011] 5. In the above scheme, the center conductor of the power core includes a bare copper conductor and a conductor braid layer covering the outside of the bare copper conductor.
[0012] 6. In the above scheme, both the control wire core and the ground wire include a conductor and an insulating layer disposed on the outside of the conductor.
[0013] Due to the application of the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:
[0014] This utility model relates to a contact-type liquid-cooled charging cable, in which a cooling tube is spaced around the outer side of the central conductor of the power core, thereby forming a cooling channel for the introduction of cooling medium between the inner wall of the cooling tube and the outer surface of the central conductor. At least one strip-shaped protrusion is provided on the cooling tube of the power core, located between the inner wall of the cooling tube and the outer surface of the central conductor. The strip-shaped protrusion is spirally arranged on the inner wall of the cooling tube and makes abutting contact with the outer surface of the central conductor. This not only improves the current carrying capacity of the cable to improve charging efficiency, but also allows for timely dissipation of heat generated during high current transmission. Furthermore, it increases the distance and time that the cooling medium flows within the cooling channel, improving the efficiency and uniformity of cooling and heat dissipation of the central conductor, extending the cable's service life and the stability of its performance during use.
