[0023] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the second insulation layer 6 and the internal waterproof layer 5 are filled with carbon fibers; it should be noted that the photovoltaic cable often encounters various situations during use and is inevitably subjected to impact from the outside, so in the utility model, the second insulation layer 6 and the internal waterproof layer 5 are filled with carbon fibers, which together with the metal support layer 2 protect the internal cable core 7 from being damaged and support the entire photovoltaic cable assembly; in actual use, carbon fibers have extremely high tensile strength and stiffness, which can significantly improve the mechanical properties of the cable assembly, making it more impact-resistant and pressure-resistant, so filling carbon fibers between the second insulation layer 6 and the internal waterproof layer 5 can provide additional physical protection for the cable core 7, prevent damage caused by external impact, and the thermal expansion coefficient of carbon fibers is low, which can reduce the internal stress of the cable caused by temperature changes, thereby reducing the influence of thermal cycles on the performance of the cable core 7, and the metal support layer 2 provides a solid structural support for the cable interior, ensuring that the cable will not deform or be damaged during transportation and installation, and the metal support layer 2 can also protect the cable core 7 from external physical impact such as extrusion and impact, thereby prolonging the service life of the cable.
[0024] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 4As shown, the internal waterproof layer 5 is composed of a first waterproof layer 501 and a second waterproof layer 502, wherein the second waterproof layer 502 is attached to the outer wall of the second insulation layer 6, and the first waterproof layer 501 is attached to the inner wall of the first insulation layer 4; it should be noted that in actual use, if water vapor penetrates into the cable through the outer protective sleeve 1, the first waterproof layer 501 and the second waterproof layer 502 provided outside the second insulation layer 6 and the cable core 7 will be in contact with the water vapor in turn, thereby effectively intercepting and preventing further invasion of water vapor, thereby protecting the cable core 7, and during this period, through the multi-layer waterproof design of the first waterproof layer 501 and the second waterproof layer 502, double insurance is provided, that is, even if the outer protective sleeve 1 is slightly damaged or defective and water vapor invades, the internal waterproof layer 5 can still effectively prevent water from penetrating into the interior of the cable, thereby preventing corrosion of the cable core 7 and aging of the insulation material caused by water, thereby prolonging the service life of the cable, and the double waterproof mechanism formed by the outer protective sleeve 1 and the internal waterproof layer 5 can improve the overall waterproof performance of the cable, ensuring that the interior of the cable remains dry under different environmental conditions.
[0025] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 The first waterproof layer 501 and the second waterproof layer 502 are filled with a desiccant 503; it should be noted that in addition to the first waterproof layer 501 and the second waterproof layer 502, the internal waterproof layer 5 in the utility model also has a desiccant 503 filled between the first waterproof layer 501 and the second waterproof layer 502, when external water vapor enters the interior of the cable and reaches the internal waterproof layer 5, it will first contact the first waterproof layer 501 and be intercepted, a small amount of water vapor that penetrates through the first waterproof layer 501 will reach the desiccant 503 and be absorbed, and in actual use, the desiccant 503 absorbs a small amount of water vapor that penetrates through the first waterproof layer 501, reducing the possibility of water vapor penetrating further into the interior of the cable, thereby enhancing the overall waterproof effect, and the desiccant 503 helps to maintain a dry environment inside the cable, preventing moisture from accumulating inside the cable, helping to maintain the insulation performance of the cable and preventing electrical faults, and at the same time, the desiccant 503 also absorbs internal moisture, reducing the erosion of the cable core 7 by water, prolonging its service life, and preventing fluctuations in the performance of the cable caused by moisture, improving the stability and reliability of the entire photovoltaic system.
[0026] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the first insulation layer 4 and the second insulation layer 6 jointly constitute an insulation mechanism; it should be noted that generally, an insulation material needs to be added inside the photovoltaic cable to form an insulation layer to provide good electrical insulation and provide electrical safety protection for the photovoltaic system, and in the utility model, two insulation layers, the first insulation layer 4 and the second insulation layer 6, are arranged inside the cable, wherein the first insulation layer 4 is arranged on the outer wall of the inner waterproof layer 5, and the second insulation layer 6 is arranged outside the cable core 7, so that in actual application, the first insulation layer 4 is located outside the inner waterproof layer 5, which can further ensure the dryness and cleanliness of the inside of the cable, thereby providing additional electrical insulation protection and at the same time providing certain physical protection to protect the inner waterproof layer 5 from mechanical damage and environmental factors, while the second insulation layer 6 directly wraps the cable core 7, which is the core part of the electrical insulation of the cable, ensuring good electrical isolation between the cable core 7 and the external environment, and at the same time helping to maintain the structural integrity of the cable to prevent physical movement and friction of the cable core 7, thereby reducing the risk of cable damage, and the separate arrangement of the first insulation layer 4 and the second insulation layer 6 can realize layered protection, so that even if one layer of insulation material is damaged, the other layer can still provide protection, thereby improving the overall safety.
