Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to cable protection technical field, especially a protection structure and prevent compact cable of snow accumulation. BACKGROUND

[0002] In cold regions or environments with heavy snow in winter, traditional steel-cored aluminum stranded wire is prone to accumulate a large amount of snow. The accumulated snow not only increases the weight of the wire but also may cause the wire sag to increase, even exceeding the designed safety range. This increases the risk of collision between the wire and the ground or other objects, affecting the safety of power transmission. During the melting and refreezing process of the snow, ice may be formed. The weight and irregular shape of the ice may cause greater mechanical stress on the wire, further exacerbating the risk of damage to the wire. Although the steel core in the steel-cored aluminum stranded wire provides a certain tensile strength, in some special situations, such as crossing a long distance or bearing a large tension, the traditional steel-cored aluminum stranded wire may not meet the higher tensile requirements. This may cause the wire to break under extreme conditions, affecting the reliability of power supply. Under high-frequency current, the current of the traditional stranded wire will concentrate on the surface of the conductor, causing the current density in the center to decrease, the resistance to increase, and the energy loss to increase.

[0029] In summary, the resistance wire 104 generates heat after being electrified to melt the accumulated snow and rime attached to the outer wall of the first sheath 105, thereby reducing the weight of the cable and greatly reducing the risk of cable breakage caused by accumulated snow or rime.

[0030] Embodiment 2

[0031] With reference to Figs. 1-2 For the second embodiment of the utility model, there is a first space 102a between the isolation layer 102 and the insulating layer 103.

[0032] The first space 102a is used to accommodate the cable conductor.

[0033] Further, the insulating layer 103 is provided with a water-blocking layer 106 between the resistance wire 104.

[0034] The water-blocking layer 106 is made of TPEE thermoplastic polyester elastomer material, which can prevent external moisture from entering the cable, prevent external moisture from damaging the cable conductor and the internal tensile member 101, and increase the service life of the cable.

[0035] Further, the water-blocking layer 106 is provided with a heat insulation layer 107 between the resistance wire 104.

[0036] The heat insulation layer 107 is made of neoprene, which protects the internal insulating layer 103 and water-blocking layer 106 from being burned by the heat generated by the resistance wire 104 when electrified, and further protects the internal structure of the cable.

[0037] Further, the tensile member 101 is made of a plurality of steel wires twisted together.

[0038] The tensile member 101 is made of a plurality of galvanized steel wires twisted together, and the lubricating grease is added when the steel wires are twisted to reduce the friction between the steel wires and also to prevent the steel wires from rusting, thereby improving the tensile strength and prolonging the service life.

[0039] Further, the inner wall of the insulation layer 103 is provided with a semi-conductive band 108.

[0040] The semi-conductive band 108 can make the electric field distribution inside the cable more uniform, reduce the concentration of electric charge, realize the gradual transition of the electric field inside and outside the cable head, and thus prevent the generation of partial discharge and breakdown.

[0041] Further, the electric resistance wire 104 is spirally arranged on the outer wall of the heat insulation layer 107.

[0042] The electric resistance wire 104 is spirally wound on the outer wall surface of the heat insulation layer 107, and when the electric resistance wire 104 is wound on the outer wall of the heat insulation layer 107, uniform heat dissipation can be realized, and the electric resistance wire 104 is prevented from being too concentrated to cause excessive heat in the region and burn through the heat insulation layer 107 and the first sheath 105.

[0043] Further, the electric resistance wire 104 is directly connected to a power supply.

[0044] The electric resistance wire 104 is used to heat and melt ice and snow after being powered by directly connecting to the power supply.

[0045] In use, the tensile member 101 bears the axial tension of the cable to protect the cable conductor, the isolation layer 102 prevents the tensile member 101 from contacting the cable conductor to cause electrochemical corrosion, the insulation layer 103 protects the current transmission of the conductor from being affected, the semi-conductive band 108 prevents the generation of partial discharge and breakdown, the water-blocking layer 106 prevents water from entering the inside to damage the cable conductor and the tensile member 101, and the heat insulation layer 107 protects the internal structure from being damaged due to the excessive heating temperature of the electric resistance wire 104; when the cable is covered with ice and snow or wrapped with sleet, the outer wall of the first sheath 105 is actually covered with ice and snow or wrapped with sleet, the electric resistance wire 104 is connected to the power supply to generate heat, and the heat generated by the electric resistance wire 104 after being powered can melt the ice and snow to reduce the weight of the cable, so that the influence of the extreme environment on the cable is reduced and the cable is not easy to break, the reliability of power supply is improved, and the first sheath 105 protects the internal electric resistance wire 104 and the cable conductor from being damaged due to the extreme environment.

[0046] In summary, under the action of the water-blocking layer 106 and the heat insulation layer 107, the external environment is difficult to affect the cable conductor, and the heat generated by the electric resistance wire 104 after being powered can melt the accumulated snow and sleet attached to the outer wall of the first sheath 105, so that the risk of cable breakage caused by accumulated snow or sleet is greatly reduced.

[0047] Embodiment 3

[0048] Reference Figs. 1-2 For the third embodiment of the utility model, the embodiment further provides a compact cable 200 for preventing snow accumulation.

[0049] The first conductor 201 is a conductor inside the cable for transmitting power.

[0050] Further, the first conductor 201 is made of a plurality of conductors twisted together, and a cross section of each of the conductors is trapezoidal. The first conductor 201 is a litz aluminum conductor.

[0051] The cross section of each of the conductors constituting the first conductor 201 is trapezoidal, and the first conductor 201 is made of a plurality of conductors independently insulated and having a trapezoidal cross section. When the conductors are independently insulated, the skin effect of the cable in use can be reduced. It should be noted that the first conductor 201 has a multi-layer structure, each layer is twisted by a plurality of conductors, and the twisting directions of adjacent two layers are opposite to each other so as to offset the torque generated when the wires are twisted. The structure of the whole cable is more compact by tightly pressing the conductors.

[0052] In use, the first space 102a between the isolation layer 102 and the insulation layer 103 is provided with the first conductor 201. The multi-layer adjacent reverse twisting of the first conductor 201 makes the internal structure of the cable more compact. The design of the independent insulation between the conductors makes the current more evenly distributed on each conductor, increases the effective conduction area of the current, and reduces the loss caused by the skin effect. The tensile member 101 bears the axial tension of the cable to protect the first conductor 201. The isolation layer 102 prevents the tensile member 101 from contacting the cable conductor to cause electrochemical corrosion. The insulation layer 103 protects the current transmission of the conductor from being affected. The semi-conductive tape 108 prevents partial discharge and breakdown. The water-blocking layer 106 prevents water from entering the inside to damage the cable conductor and the tensile member 101. The heat insulation layer 107 protects the internal structure from being damaged due to the overheating temperature of the resistance wire 104. When the cable is covered with ice and snow or wrapped with ice, the actual outer wall of the first sheath 105 is covered with ice and snow or wrapped with ice. The resistance wire 104 connected to the power supply generates heat. The heat generated after the resistance wire 104 is powered on melts the ice and snow, reducing the weight of the cable. When the weight of the cable becomes lighter, the influence of the extreme environment on the cable is reduced, and the cable is not easy to break, improving the reliability of power supply. The first sheath 105 protects the internal resistance wire 104 and the cable conductor from being damaged due to the extreme environment.

[0053] In summary, under the action of the water-blocking layer 106 and the heat insulation layer 107, the external environment is difficult to affect the first conductor 201. The first conductor 201 is made of a plurality of independently insulated conductors, so that the current can be evenly distributed on each conductor, increasing the effective conduction area of the current and reducing the loss caused by the skin effect. The resistance wire 104 generates heat when powered on to melt the accumulated snow and ice attached to the outer wall of the first sheath 105, reducing the weight of the cable and greatly reducing the risk of cable breakage caused by accumulated snow or ice.
